"Old Jiang, 360's Zhou Hong came to us just now."
"Why did he come to Jinshan?"
"Cooperation."
"Cooperation?"
After Zhou Hongyi left, Qiu Bojun thought for a long time and finally called Jiang Min.
"They want to cooperate with Jinshan to launch Jinshan's version of 360's security guard."
"He's smart. He can't do the antivirus himself, so he joined forces with Jinshan. This way, the antivirus and computer assistant will be completely in his hands."
"I think so too."
Qiu Bojun nodded. "I rejected them."
"Good rejection."
Jiang Min also nodded. "If you agree with him, you'll be raising a tiger."
"That's why I told you, Old Jiang. He might come to you later."
"Don't worry, Bojun. How can I agree to something you don't dare to agree to?"
"That's great. I knew Old Jiang was a loyal friend."
"We're in an alliance. If we cooperate with 360, we'll be finished next day."
"That's true."
"By the way, did Zhou Hongyi go to Ruixing?"
"I don't know. I'll call them later."
Although the three major anti-virus software manufacturers had been competing with each other, the competition was between the three major anti-virus software manufacturers.
They didn't want another company to enter this market.
Of course, if 360 entered with awesome antivirus technology, it would be fine.
But Zhou Hongyi was disgusting. He wanted to use their technology to fight for the market for them.
If he did it, it would be a joke for domestic antivirus software.
After chatting with Jiang Min, Qiu Bojun then called Wang Xin in Ruixing.
"President Qiu, why did you call me?"
"It's just about Zhou Hongyi. By the way, Boss Wang, Zhou Hongyi came to Ruixing, right? "
"He just left."
"This guy is really not easy to deal with."
Qiu Bojun complained. However, he couldn't care less if 360 went to Ruixing. He then said, "Boss Wang, you won't be fooled by Zhou Hongyi, right?"
"How is that possible?"
Wang Xin shook his head. "This guy is dreaming. How can I agree?"
"That's great. I just called Old Jiang and we both rejected Zhou Hongyi."
If we don't form an alliance, then we'll probably be screwed to death by this guy. However, even if the three of us refuse, I'm afraid that Zhou Hongyi will look for a few anti-virus software companies overseas. "
"I've thought of that too, but the anti-virus software overseas isn't well-known enough, and there isn't much of a market for it. Even if Zhou Hongyi cooperates with them, it won't affect us much."
"I think so too."
Wang Xin nodded.
"Then, then it's settled."
"Okay, Boss Qiu, I'll listen to you."
After chatting with Wang Xin, Qiu Bojun let out a sigh of relief.
As long as the three antivirus manufacturers were united, they wouldn't be afraid even if 360 came up with a dirty trick.
However, Qiu Bojun was wrong.
The three anti-virus software manufacturers might not be of one mind.
Perhaps Jiang Min had the same idea as Qiu Bojun.
This was because Qiu Bojun and Jiang Min both started out in the technology industry. Both of them advocated technology more.
But Wang Xin was different.
Although Wang Xin's skills were not bad, the Auspicious Star that Wang Xin led had always prioritized the market.
Just like the reason why Auspicious Star was the most famous of the three major anti-virus software, it wasn't because Auspicious Star's anti-virus technology was the most awesome, but because they knew how to operate the market best. As early as 2000, Auspicious Star was not famous, but Wang Xin thought of a way, which was to cooperate with the major domestic brands of computer manufacturers. They installed Auspicious Star on Lenovo's computer in a packaged way.
As a result, in just half a year, Auspicious Star became famous. Many users said that since a major brand like Lenovo installed Auspicious Star's anti-virus software, Auspicious Star's technology was naturally not bad. As a result, Auspicious Star had a very high share of the market for individual users.
Even now, Jinshan and Jiang Min's strategy was still to reduce prices.
After the phone call with Qiu Bojun, Wang Xin held a high-level meeting of the company.
After a detailed discussion, Wang Xin made a decision.
"Boss Wang, have you thought about it?"
Zhou Hongyi wasn't surprised to receive Wang Xin's decision.
He definitely knew that one of the three major anti-virus software manufacturers would be tempted.
"Boss Zhou, the cooperation you mentioned is good."
Yes.
Although Wang Xin agreed to Qiu Bojun, it was only a verbal agreement.
As Zhou Hongyi said, they didn't sign any agreement. If they agreed today, they could go back on their word tomorrow.
Moreover, Wang Xin thought that even if the three of them formed an alliance, it would only benefit the foreign anti-virus manufacturers.
For example, Kaspersky, Norton … These companies had adjusted their pace and wanted to completely enter the domestic market.
Rather than that, it was better to cooperate with 360.
At least during the cooperation with 360, Auspicious Star could be further pushed into the market.
"That's great, I knew Boss Wang had foresight. It would be a pity to give such a large market to others."
"That's true, but Boss Zhou, I'm also worried. What if you cooperate with us and kick Auspicious Star out of the picture?"
Zhou Hongyi's 360 destroyed 3,721. This kind of move was scary just thinking about it.
Although Wang Xin agreed to cooperate with Zhou Hongyi, he wasn't stupid.
He naturally had to be on guard against this kind of thing.
"Boss Wang, what are you doing?"
"Boss Zhou, of course, we can cooperate, but 360 must only cooperate with Auspicious Star. Within three years, they can't cooperate with other anti-virus software manufacturers."
"Three years is too much. We can't agree to that. Two years."
Zhou Hongyi knew that Auspicious Star would agree, so he naturally took precautions against 360.
The only cooperation was the restriction.
"Okay, two years."
Wang Xin thought for a while and agreed.
…
"Chen Yu, you're amazing. Auspicious Star has agreed to cooperate."
After secretly signing the contract with Auspicious Star, Zhou Hongyi said excitedly to Chen Yu.
"Auspicious Star?"
Chen Yu was a little surprised. "Didn't you look for Jinshan in the beginning?"
"I also wanted to cooperate with Jinshan, but Qiu Bojun didn't agree."
Zhou Hongyi spread his hands. He couldn't do anything to a stubborn old man like Qiu Bojun.
"Uh …"
Chen Yu was a little stunned.
Then, he felt extremely regretful.
He preferred Jinshan more.
Of course, Chen Yu admired Jinshan more than Qiu Bojun.
Jinshan Typing Master, Jinshan Dictionary, Jinshan Anti-Virus, WPS …
Almost all the computers he came into contact with in his early years were products of Jinshan.
It was a pity that Qiu Bojun was too traditional.
If he missed the opportunity to cooperate with 360, Jinshan would disappear in a few years.
In fact, it was similar in his previous life.
Jinshan had a lot of opportunities. Anti-Virus, office software, online games … Any one of them could do well in the future. However, even if Jinshan had so many opportunities, they still missed them one by one.
This should be related to Qiu Bojun's personality as a programmer.
He admired technology too much, and he admired local brands too much.
He wanted to change the domestic software environment and even the Internet environment with his own strength.
However, manpower was limited.
If he didn't know how to operate, he could only fail in the end.
In his previous life, when Penguin bought Jinshan, Qiu Bojun announced his retirement early.
On the other hand, Lei Jun, who came from Jinshan, was doing very well in this area.
However, Auspicious Star was the other extreme.
They admired the market too much, and they looked down on technology too much.
In the end, after 360's gangster-like attack, Auspicious Star couldn't recover from the setback.
Of course, was it more about technology or the market?
No one could say for sure.
However, for Chen Yu, in the Internet era, what was important was not technology, nor was it the market. What was important was … thinking.
There was a saying that was very good.
