Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

/*Today’s big chapter is here, we have to do something big.*/

{Time: late July 2005}

{Location:China}

Zhou Hongyi once calculated in his mind that Lei Jun, who was born in Hubei and is one year older than himself, is considered to be the person with whom he has a good relationship among the current batch of CEOs and senior-level friends.

But if the boss didn't come to the rescue in this situation today, I'm afraid the feud would be over.

Helplessly, Zhou Hongyi could only shrug at Ning Zimo.

Ning Zimo on the other end saw the uneasiness in his eyes, turned around and glanced at the angry Lei Jun and realized what the problem was.

Ning Zimo hurriedly recruited, "Mr. Lei, come in and sit down?"

"Hmph... I don't dare. I'm afraid that Mr. Ning is setting up a banquet for me." Lei Jun looked serious.

Seeing Lei Jun's last picture, Ning Zimo smiled and said, "Mr. Lei, you must have heard some details about the [Security Guard] that our President Zhou talked about, right?"

"That's right... Mr. Ning has a lot of money. Naturally, he can enter the anti-software market and seize our share. And those of us who are engaged in anti-software are unlikely to just sit back and let Mr. Ning's [Security Guard] dominate, right?"

"Mr. Lei has misunderstood," Ning Zimo still smiled, "Emperor Penguin launched the free [Security Guard] plan not to target the domestic anti-software market, but to target the global market."

After a pause, Ning Zimo raised his eyebrows and said, "I wonder if Mr. Lei, when listening to our Mr. Zhou talk about [Security Guard], heard that it is a full-language version of active defense software?"

Lei Jun was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "But after all, you are taking advantage of the consumer-grade anti-software market."

"The market for consumer-grade anti-virus software has been solidified for too long. Jiangmin, Rising, and Kingsoft have not had much motivation to update their software in the past few years. It can be said that you are all exhausted, and no one is willing to make changes in this market.

breakthrough.

Rather than letting others be the disruptor, why not our Emperor Penguin? You know, our Emperor Penguin’s [Security Guard] is the world’s first active defense-level defensive anti-virus product.

And even if there is no [security guard], the system will launch a safe operating system one day to prevent the spread of viruses. Or a new operating system mechanism will replace the current operating system, so that

There is no room for anti-virus software to survive."

After a pause, Ning Zimo added, "Besides, our [Security Guard] has been positioned not only to target the anti-software user group."

At this afternoon's meeting, Zhou Hongyi spoke on behalf of Yahoo China at the Webmaster Conference. In addition to the [Yahoo One Number] plan to bring convenience to major webmasters, it also announced a subsidy promotion plan for [Tieba] products, and

A brief plan for [Security Guard].

Compared with the other two parts that are beneficial to major webmasters, [Security Guard] is a unique existence. After Zhou Hongyi was officially included in the Emperor Penguin team, it learned from the previous Qihu Company and launched [360 Security

"Guardian" is a product launched as a big killer.

Although [360 Security Guard] in the previous life was produced by Qihoo Company, it was not a product that Zhou Hongyi initially valued. At that time, Zhou Hongyi was still involved in the search market, and the person who really created [360 Security Guard] was actually

Fu Sheng, who was later regarded as a traitor by Zhou Hongyi in his previous life.

Because of his appearance in this life, Fu Sheng, the future master of the original 3721 product department, was specially transferred to the browser project by himself. But the person who is actually developing this [Security Guard] was deliberately transferred from

Liu Xu, the expert invited by Xiamen.

In his previous life, Liu Xu was the master behind the scenes who single-handedly pushed Rising into the anti-software world. However, after conflicting with Rising Chairman Wang Xin over the development direction, he chose to resign from Rising in 2003 and later founded Active Defense.

Dongfang Micropoint later even caused the biggest scandal in the anti-virus industry that year.

Humanity is this thing,

It's definitely inevitable.

But since I have made a long-term position, I will try my best to use various methods so that all capable people can fully display their abilities under the Emperor Penguin system, and then gather everyone's strength

Let’s go long and build a broader future.

[Security Guard] will bring a different active defense mechanism that subverts the current anti-software function, and then cooperate with the free entry strategy of the previous Qihoo [360 Security Guard], combined with the [Yahoo One Number] plan, to invade the end-user market and ultimately

Feed back users for [Feixun]!

Therefore, the [Security Guard] in my hand is very different from the previous life.

Naturally, it is not as simple as Lei Jun thought, just an anti-virus software!

"Mr. Lei, I said it before. The anti-software market has reached a period of slow development. A disruptor will definitely emerge. So why can't that person be our Emperor Penguin?"

"Yes, the subversive can be you Emperor Penguin, but we at Jinshan are not easy to mess with!" Lei Jun said angrily with a sullen face.

Looking at Lei Jun, whose expression was getting more and more ugly, Ning Zimo suddenly laughed.

His smile immediately made Lei Jun's anger soar.

But before Lei Jun could make any further move, Ning Zimo suddenly said, "Mr. Lei, I have two purposes for coming to Xiamen this time. One is the matter I just discussed with Mr. Cai, and the other is something related to you.

It’s not just to anger you with [security guards].”

Lei Jun glanced at Ning Zimo sternly, completely unmoved.

Ning Zimo was not upset, and stretched out his hand to pull Lei Jun's arm, "Since Mr. Lei is here, let's go inside and talk. After all, what I want to talk to you about is a very long-term potential market."

Being dragged away by Ning Zimo made it difficult for Lei Jun to break up and leave.

Besides, he didn't come to Zhou Hongyi's house just to lose his temper after talking with Zhou Hongyi.

When people reach a certain age, losing their temper is just one way. Since this Mr. Ning finally has something to do with him, why not come and listen to his thoughts? After all, although this young Mr. Ning has not had formal contact with him, he has gone there in the past.

The route is rare among domestic Internet users!

Moreover, this person

No shortage of money either!

Just like this, Ning Zimo was dragged to sit on the sofa "with great reluctance". Lei Jun looked at Ning Zimo without saying a word.

In my heart, I am also looking forward to it.

Looking at Lei Jun staring at him, Ning Zimo kept smiling.

After a long time, the first words he spoke shocked Lei Jun and Cai Wensheng.

"Bing was founded by me."

Lei Jun felt that his neck had become stiff. He opened his eyes wide and finally turned to look at Zhou Hongyi, only to see him nodding slightly. Even so, he still felt incredible when he turned around.

Cai Wensheng on the side narrowed his eyes even more, obviously digesting the deeper significance of this news to the matter he had just decided.

Ning Zimo saw the reaction of the two people in his eyes, raised his chin lightly and said, "Except for some of our Emperor Penguin executives, only Alibaba's Mr. Ma and Mr. Cai know about it externally. Because Bing still needs

I have been developing it for several years, so I ask you two to keep the secret for me."

Lei Jun and Cai Wensheng nodded slightly, finding it hard to accept this big news for a while.

Fortunately, Ning Zimo didn't do it to show off his wealth.

"When I went to work for Paypal in the United States in 2001, I already realized that search engines would definitely be the largest traffic portal on the Internet in the future. So after I left Paypal in 2002, I hired Lu Qi from Yahoo in the United States.

Start building a search engine.

After nearly three years of development, Bing has now made achievements abroad. But I have never stopped positioning Bing as a search engine, because from the beginning, when I founded Bing, I aimed to subvert Microsoft's PC.

It’s for the supremacy.”

!!!

One language is complete,

Everyone was shocked.

Especially Cai Wensheng!

He originally believed that the original development of Emperor Penguin was by no means just following the trend, but must have a long-term goal. But when he heard Ning Zimo personally say that his initial goal in founding Bing was Microsoft, Cai Wensheng was shocked.

You must know that Ning Zimo is only a 22-year-old young man now, which means that he was already planning his current development path when he was 17 or 8 years old and still working.

Perhaps without the fact that emperor penguins exist in this company, it is easier for people to think that this is a young man's lofty ambition.

But this is not the case. The young man in front of him has quietly made some achievements. If they can't do it, this is indeed a goal!

And Lei Jun no longer knew what to think of Ning Zimo's words. He originally just wanted to accuse [Security Guards] of this plan that might affect Jinshan, but why did he bring up such a big game?

Looking at the stunned two people, Ning Zimo smiled softly and said, "The birth of the Internet will allow mankind to experience an unprecedented information explosion. Software, hardware, networks and even science and technology will all lead to further development due to the information explosion.

Such development will give rise to new possibilities. Whether it is operating systems or application software, people's habits will change with technological changes. Although the replacement of operating systems is still a long way off, the SaaS model of office office suites is the future.

It’s the general trend.”

Looking at Lei Jun, who was being led by him, Ning Zimo continued, "Luban Technology has been based on the SaaS model since its establishment, and has already laid a certain foundation in the OA and ERP fields.

In the next step, whether it is Luban Technology or other collaborative office oa or ERP systems, online office office suites are necessary. Therefore, I am ready to invest in research and development in this field. And Kingsoft seems to be in office applications

I have corresponding experience in software.”

"Online office suite?" Lei Jun pondered.

Ning Zimo nodded in response to his gaze, "Yes, the office suite. The most commonly used ones are documents, forms and slides!"

"Do they correspond to Microsoft office word, excel and powerpoint respectively?"

"That's right."

After receiving Ning Zimo's answer, Lei Jun suddenly fell silent. He suddenly realized what Ning Zimo was going to do, because Kingsoft had competed with Microsoft in all aspects countless times. Although each time it was in China, but in

After entering the 21st century, they, Kingsoft, have never benefited from Microsoft.

At this moment, Lei Jun suddenly heard Ning Zimo's voice.

"In the DOS era of the 20th century, Kingsoft's WPS had its most glorious period. When Microsoft entered China, it had to find Kingsoft to seek a file interoperability agreement. If it were not for the existence of Kingsoft, our Chinese companies would not be able to use it.

Use such cheap office software.

But after entering the 21st century, Kingsoft has seized too much living space through piracy and Microsoft's hands-on cooperation. So far, Kingsoft has not recovered. In fact, in my opinion, Kingsoft's defeat was a non-war crime because it had too much power.

Many off-site factors.

Now, the next stage of our Emperor Penguin’s goal is to keep an eye on Microsoft. One of the steps is to use unequal competition in the field of online office suites to establish a new order in areas that it is not good at.”

Lei Jun raised his head and looked into Ning Zimo's eyes. It was the first time he saw such deep eyes.

"Before the official release of the Chinese version of Microsoft office 2000 on August 30, 1999, Kingsoft announced that wps2000 would be launched on April 3. This version integrates five major functions: word processing, graphic typesetting, spreadsheets, multimedia presentation production and image processing.

The price is only 1/4 of Microsoft office97.

On April 2, the day before Kingsoft WPS2000 was launched, Microsoft held a preview seminar of Office2000 in Beijing. The price of the Chinese test version was 188 yuan per set, the standard version was 3999 yuan, and the professional version was 4999 yuan. The price was lower than usual.

half.

Although Kingsoft fought hard with Microsoft Office in wps97 and wps2000 within two or three years since 1999, its counterattack against Microsoft had little effect.

Because in the 10 years before that, Microsoft had cultivated genuine and pirated versions of Office, making most users in China and even the world familiar with, accustomed to, and dependent on Microsoft Office.

It is an indisputable fact that the file format of Microsoft Office has become an industry standard, and it is no longer possible for Kingsoft to tear open an office suite in the PC field through bloody fighting.

But in a brand new field, a field with other ecological supporting facilities. The starting gun is in our hands, and we can start whenever we want. If Kingsoft can take the first step and lay a solid foundation in this field, will it let

What about Microsoft being a latecomer in this space?"

Ning Zimo constantly impacted Lei Jun's thinking, and this new way of thinking was an angle that Lei Jun had never had before.

online office suite,

That's really new territory.

There is no overlord like Microsoft there. Even if it enters this field in the future, it will take time to reflect because of its late start.

But can Jinshan do it?

Can Jinshan really do that?

"Emperor Penguin has been supporting the development of Python. This high-level programming language with a wide range of applications will also enter Emperor Penguin's expected office suite and become a possibility to replace VB.

Think about how Microsoft relies on msdn and office training to train corresponding practitioners. Why can't we apply this method to practitioner training for online office suites while promoting Python?

You know, there are already 5 million Python enthusiasts in Europe and the United States. If we Emperor Penguin insist on promoting it, this number will become 50 million or even 500 million. When the population base reaches a certain size, subversion will be possible. In this way, online office suites

Wouldn’t it be possible to find a new world with a certain foundation by finding a new way?”

Lei Jun knew that he was looking at Ning Zimo's eyes, but in those eyes, he seemed to see a galaxy.

Those little bits and pieces were connected by some indescribable things because of Ning Zimo's expanded ideas, and finally formed a vast sea of ​​stars.

But that sea of ​​stars is not peaceful, there seems to be huge energy surging inside it.

seem,

at the next moment,

It will explode.

Lei Jun suddenly felt something.

Compared with the vast sea of ​​​​stars in Ning Zimo's eyes, Jinshan's layout of one acre and three quarters of land in the country is too small.
