Reborn Millennial Gamer

In the past two days, Lu Fei took time out of his busy schedule and personally took Li Fuzhen to visit Penguin's branch in Beijing, as well as Feigou.com and Zhongtong Logistics. The scale and volume far exceeded her imagination, but it was not the whole of the empire.

On the 4th, she flew to Pengcheng to inspect Goose City, but Mr. Lu was not accompanied, and immediately transferred to Xishan Dajue Temple after being sent to the airport.

Minghui Tea House is quiet and quiet.

Magnolia blooms from ancient trees, and the fragrance is mixed with the charming fragrance of various flowers, slowly drifting into Siyi Hall. This small courtyard is surrounded by wing rooms on both sides, and the main room is in the middle.

Lu Fei stepped over the threshold, and saw Yihong in the antique room at a glance, as well as Zhou Hongyi who was fidgeting. If he didn't give IDG a face, he would rather accompany Li Fuzhen than see Master Zhou.

This leader is simply the leader of an internet cult.

The millennium is the prehistoric era of the Internet. The average netizen has to enter the URL when surfing the Internet. If there are too many URLs, it is hard to remember. The advantage of 3721 is that you can directly enter Chinese in the address bar to directly access the webpage.

In essence, it is also a search engine, but it has gone astray.

Maliciously induce the installation of plug-ins, force installation dialog boxes, and a lot of confusing closing buttons in advertising pop-up windows...

In short, the small websites of the later generations are almost regarded as the disciples and grandchildren of the leader of Zhou. Later, the followers carried forward, and the leader apostate.

Typically, only the leader is allowed to be popular, and the congregation is not allowed to drink spicy food.

Just a hooligan, still fighting for strength, fighting CNNIC, Baidu, anti-virus software, penguins, tearing deer clouds...

Just like the name of 3721, it doesn't matter what happens, just have a good fight, and you're done!

"President Lu, please sit down, sit down!"

Zhou Hongyi's expression was earnest, as if he was eager for talents.

Lu Fei shook hands with them, and as soon as he sat down, he immediately got up to make tea.

Put Biluochun into a clean and transparent glass, the tea will sink to the bottom, white clouds will roll in an instant, snowflakes will dance, and the fragrance will strike you.

Zhou Hongyi raised his glasses with both hands, "I don't serve many people in my life, but Mr. Lu is one of you. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."

"Don't dare to be that." After clinking glasses, Lu Fei sipped tea lightly.

Zhou Hongyi drank it all in one gulp, quite reckless.

Guo Yihong looked at both sides and said: "This time I invited Boss Lu to drink tea, I actually want you to give Boss Zhou an idea.

"exactly."

Zhou Hongyi tentatively asked a simple question.

The entrances for search engines to compete for traffic include the IE address bar, desktop clients, pop-up window plug-ins, and portal search boxes, which are excellent advertising positions.

But 3721 only won Sohu, no matter how much money they spend, the other three companies are not moved. It is okay to say that Wangyi and Penguin are major shareholders, but they are only minority shareholders in Xinlang. Why?
Lu Fei smiled and said, "It's not about money. Xinlang and Wangyi are the strategic investors introduced by Sogou's new round of financing."

"No wonder! No wonder I spent 200 million to no avail."

Zhou Hongyi's heart was hot, and he inexplicably stated the results of 3721, with hundreds of millions of traffic, last year's annual revenue was more than 2 million, and the net profit was more than 6000 million RMB...

Lu Fei frowned, feeling like a blind date.

Witnessed by IDG, the man introduced the situation, and then the woman opened the conditions. From this situation, I guessed the real purpose at once.

Zhou Hongyi's mouth is like a machine gun, and he said everything he can say, how to promote 3721, how to make plug-ins, blah blah blah, when it comes to the climax of excitement, but see——

Lu Fei was not moved at all, showing a Buddhist smile, enjoying the scenery and drinking tea comfortably.

Zhou Hongyi scratched his head anxiously, "Mr. Lu, what do you think of 3721?"

"Very good." Lu Fei sipped his tea with a flat tone.

"President Lu thinks so too?"

Zhou Hongyi was both surprised and delighted, "Many companies now want to acquire 3721, Xinlang, Sohu, and the highest bidder is Alibaba, and Luyun offered me 6000 million US dollars."

"Boss Zhou agrees?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, and Lu Yun made another trick behind his back!

Unlike the acquisition of eBay, at most it will expand the business scale of e-commerce, and the acquisition of 3721 is equivalent to "e-commerce + search".

Not only can it import traffic to revitalize Taoduoduo, surpassing Joyo.com, but Taoduoduo avoided suspicion before and abolished the "mandatory installation". Now it can rely on 3721 to revive it.

"Not yet, Lu Yun just gave an offer, and I made an agreement with him to come to Hangzhou for an interview in a while."

Zhou Hongyi shook his head, "But I am more inclined to merge."

Lu Fei looked sideways: "Boss Zhou, do you know what is the most important thing in the merger?"

"what?"

"Love!"

"Love?!"

"A merger is like a husband and wife. You have to find a good match, and you have to talk about your love and my willingness, otherwise the two couples will quarrel and get divorced."

"Boss Lu is unwilling?"

Zhou Hongyi asked indifferently: "Do you think 3721 has a bad reputation like Li Yanhong?"

You still know!
Lu Fei made an excuse and said, "It's wrong. Sogou has just completed its C round and raised $1550 million. Why are they so eager to merge?"

"3721 can help Sogou to a higher level."

Zhou Hongyi said anxiously: "Mr. Lu, the merger of our two companies will definitely make a fortune! The valuation will be doubled at least a few times!"

Lu Fei drank his tea indifferently, "When the time comes, it will be a major decision, should 3721 listen to Sogou, or Sogou listen to 3721?"

Zhou Hongyi said disapprovingly: "Is it necessary to make such a clear distinction, we are all a family, let's discuss it!"

After Lu Fei squinted, he smiled and said nothing.

After a while, he got excited and came out to smooth things over: "Old Zhou, there is no discussion. The merger between companies cannot avoid the issue of dominance."

"Of course Mr. Lu is in charge! I often tell people in the industry that Mr. Lu is always my idol."

Zhou Hongyi didn't say a word, "I'll just sell 3721 to Sogou, and I'll work for Mr. Lu! I don't eat too much, so I convert it into shares at [-], no, [-] million dollars."

"Hahaha, Boss Zhou, thank you."

Lu Fei's tone was extremely firm, "But I refuse."

Zhou Hongyi's eyes were red with anxiety. Some people still refuse such a beautiful thing of "1+1 is greater than 2". Why!

Lu Fei asked without answering, why are you so obsessed with the merger?
"Ah, now 3721 is facing a development bottleneck."

Zhou Hongyi couldn't help being discouraged and poured out his troubles. Even if CNNIC is at the top, the online real-name market is already saturated. Chinese domain name registration is far less popular than English domain name registration, and new business growth points are urgently needed.

Lu Fei smiled and asked: "Boss Zhou, do you know what is the most important thing about search engines?"

Zhou Hongyi suddenly raised his head: "What?"

"technology."

"Isn't forcing plugins a technology?"

"Boss Zhou thinks plug-ins are technology?"

For a moment, Lu Fei couldn't tell whether this person was really stupid or just pretending to be confused, but he didn't think that this person wanted Bilian more than me!

"Of course!"

Zhou Hongyi was proud, "Without search technology, 3721's current market share is comparable to that of Baidu, and its profitability is even higher."

"Then coupled with the search technology, wouldn't it have the strength to surpass Baidu?"

Lu Fei showed a characteristic smirk, "Why did Baidu refuse to merge with 3721, because it is confident that it is ahead of 3721 in technology. If Baidu also learns to promote 3721 and compete with you, what should you do?"

Zhou Hongyi was silent for a while, "Mr. Lu said, 3721 and Baidu will fight sooner or later?"

"We must fight. Boss Zhou had better make plans early."

Lu Fei was like a magic wand, poking at him secretly in his words.

Zhou Hongyi said nonchalantly, "Mr. Lu is alarmist, right?"

Dong dong dong, a solemn and deep bell sounded not far away, echoing in the temple and everyone's heart.

After a while, Lu Fei casually found an excuse to leave, and did not bother to persuade him to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. Before leaving, he did not forget to warn him in a low voice:
"Guo Zong, please persuade Boss Zhou, don't say that you are unpredictable."

Later, looking at his back as he went away, his head was as big as a bucket, "Ahem, Lao Zhou, Ari is not suitable for joining."

"why?"

Zhou Hongyi glanced at the cup that Lu Fei drank from, and suddenly realized, "Oh, is Mr. Lu afraid that the merger of 3721 and Taoduoduo will surpass Feigou.com?"

Then the logic is self-consistent: "Since you are worried about 3721, why don't you agree to merge with Sogou? After the merger, it will be a family. After all, you still think 3721 has a bad reputation."

Guo Yihong rolled his eyes, "Boss Lu didn't say that."

Zhou Hongyi said unhappily: "But he must have thought so, I can feel it, heh, he is lofty, he is amazing."

Guo Yi said worriedly: "Old Zhou, don't recruit him, you are not afraid to force Sogou to Baidu and join hands to deal with you?"

"Listen to his nonsense, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Zhou Hongyi curled his lips, "It seems that the rumors are overblown, we will meet in person, but that's all, he won't let me go, I'm still going!"

Guo Yihong saw him being respectful and arrogant, and he was surprised by the quick change of face: "One last piece of advice, don't mess with Lu Fei."

"What are you afraid of!"

Zhou Hongyi was possessed like a flat-headed brother, and he didn't hesitate at all. At this moment, the mobile phone on the table buzzed and vibrated.

It was his subordinate Fu Sheng who called, and he opened his mouth nervously: "Boss, Baidu copied our old den! They raided 3721's client terminal and address bar."

"what?!"

Zhou Hongyi trembled violently as if struck by lightning.

What the hell, Master Lu has opened his mouth, right?
He really hit the spot!

…………

After going down the mountain from Dajue Temple, Lu Fei asked Wang Ben to drive to Yanyuan and head to the Resource Hotel.

"Boss Lu, Baidu has made a move!"

After Wang Xiaochuan joined Sohu, Zhou Feng was transferred to take over the entire team, supporting Sogou with Yang Xin and others.

Lu Fei leaned in front of the computer screen and listened to them explaining Baidu Souba's attack routine, the so-called hitting a snake and hitting seven inches——

The reason why 3721 is rogue is that after installing 372, it will automatically install two independent programs of 3721, "Address Bar Search" and "Search Assistant". Even if one of them is uninstalled, the other will be cross-repaired by the other two software .

In other words, it is necessary to delete 3 plug-ins at one time before it is possible to eradicate the grass.

And Baidu Souba plays the role of this kind of powerful elimination. Once downloaded, all 3721 tools can be replaced with Baidu's plug-ins, thereby controlling the Internet access.

"Squeak."

Lu Fei smacked his lips, sure enough only magic can defeat magic, and rogues have to deal with rogues.

Yang Xin asked curiously: "Boss Lu, are we really just watching from the sidelines?"

"Of course not, let's fight."

Lu Fei originally planned to do so, but who made 3721 flirt with Ali Baba?

He looked down at the Sogou website, the latest version has the taste of later generations, the left side is the entry of keyword search, and the right side is the list of hot search keywords...

Zhou Feng was very curious, "Mr. Lu, how do you do it?"

"First of all, the latest version of Tieba does not have a voting mechanism. It initiates a vote on Baidu vs. 3721, creating confrontation..."

With a smirk on Lu Fei's face, he said the "shit stirring stick" Dafa.

For a moment, everyone in Zhou Feng looked at each other in blank dismay. Isn't it too wicked to make such a disturbance?
