After rebirth, I became very good

Chapter 146 New Year’s Date

"Penguin's user base should not be underestimated. If Penguin comes out to make free anti-virus software, it will definitely have a great impact on Black Panther Guardian. You must find countermeasures as soon as possible." Cheng Xiaoman said.

Xu Mo didn't care. He smiled and said: "Now that the Black Panther Guards have been changed to 360 Security Guards, and all the operations have been handed over to Qihoo, let Boss Zhou have the headache."

"Then if you are like this, you might as well take advantage of the high price now, package the Black Panther Guards and sell them directly to Zhou Hongyi." Cheng Xiaoman couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xu Mo after hearing this, feeling that Xu Mo was too irresponsible. .

Xu Mo said with a confident look: "Whether it's Penguin or Qihu, they are all big guys on the Internet. It's not worthwhile for me to offend anyone when I go out now. But Boss Zhou is used to eating alone. Now someone wants to share his market, and Boss Zhou will definitely not be willing to do so."

"You mean, Zhou Hongyi will set difficulties for penguins?" Cheng Xiaoman was curious.

"It's more than just setting the difficulty. It's a battle between fire and water. It will definitely be a bloody storm." Xu Mo said, putting the last pot of mutton into the pot. The 3Q war in the previous life was in 2010. That is, because of Tencent's participation, 360 invested in the battle. The resources of security guards were tilted. For a time, the entire Internet was talking about Tencent and 360. In this war, Boss Zhou did everything possible. He directly used his authoritative relationship with 360 to expose Penguin for allegedly stealing user information, and put Penguin into Its software is classified as a virus and users are directly required to uninstall Penguin.

Penguin was in trouble both internally and externally. In the past two months, Penguin's stock price fell again and again, directly falling below 360%. Later, Boss Ma really had no choice but to directly tell all Penguin users that Penguin and were incompatible. , only one can be selected for a computer.

Either it's Penguin, or it's 360.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a war that Penguin must win.

I just didn’t expect that users would like to watch the fun, and they had so much resentment towards Penguin that they supported 360 one after another. They even wrote a limerick saying that 360 would destroy Penguin!

It was during this period that the eldest son of the Yangtze River Group, the son of the richest man in Xiangjiang, sold 3% of Penguin's shares. Although he had made a lot of money from this investment, in the long run, Mr. Li was still very Losing money.

As a reborn person, Xu Mo had foresight, but he couldn't tell Cheng Xiaoman completely. He could only tell it roughly.

But Cheng Xiaoman is so smart that he quickly understood: "You mean, they will be incompatible with each other in the end?"

"Isn't this the most basic?" Xu Mo said.

Cheng Xiaoman asked again: "Then who do you think will win?"

"Boss Zhou won a small victory, but he also sacrificed a lot."

On the surface, Boss Zhou won, but in fact the goals of the two companies were different. In 10 years, everyone had already started to build an Internet ecosystem.

Boss Ma not only launched Penguin Butler, WeChat was also launched in this year. Externally, he began to frantically acquire the copyrights of some previously copied games. Internally, he also began to raid the domestic Internet.

Free anti-virus software is the software that Qihoo relies on for survival.

But for Boss Ma, it is just a step in the plan.

If you can't make it through this step of your plan, then you'll have to take another step.

With such a huge user base, Penguin ultimately only captured less than 20% of the free anti-virus software market, while Qihoo has always steadily occupied 80%.

It's just that Boss Zhou was also notorious in this battle. Not only did his reputation in the circle become bad, but his subsequent strategic deployment was also inferior to one move. He didn't make good anti-virus software, so he wanted to make a safe browser. Later, Everyone started to engage in mobile Internet and mobile phones.

Boss Zhou and Boss Jia got together again and made a mid- to low-end smartphone brand called Qiku. It was popular for a while, but in the end it was lost to everyone.

In 2023, 360 has rarely appeared in the public eye. Of course, its stock price is still very high, and the total valuation of the New York Stock Exchange is still 1600 billion.

Xu Mo now owns 360% of Black Panther Guards, which is 360's shares. Xu Mo is not worried about them fighting. On the contrary, Xu Mo hopes that they will fight. This war will develop after 360. At a fork in the road, in this world, Xu Mo wants to take ​​on a completely different path.

After the meal was over, Xu Mo and Cheng Xiaoman chatted a little bit to show off, as if they had known they were going to fight for a long time. Cheng Xiaoman looked at Xu Mo's confident look and secretly laughed, she said: "So, you've calculated everything?"

Xu Mo chuckled: "It can't be considered a plan, it's just arranged in advance."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very good, and the two of them forgot about the unpleasantness that happened that night. After eating, Cheng Xiaoman hesitated and finally hugged Xu Mo's arm.

It is actually not a big deal for an elder to put his arm around a younger one.

Xu Mo also hesitated and didn't say anything.

So, after the two of them finished eating, they went out to eat.

The New Year is coming in a blink of an eye. At this time, the capital is very lively at night, with colorful neon lights everywhere, and the square is packed with people.

These days, everyone is still very tolerant of small businesses and vendors. Many people coming from out of town will set up small stalls, such as ring hoops, toy cars for children, balloons and so on.

Xu Mo actually didn't want to go around the square, but Cheng Xiaoman was attracted by the bustle inside and pulled Xu Mo and said, "Xu Mo, look, it's so lively over there, shall we go and take a stroll?"

"Ah?" Xu Mo really didn't expect that Aunt Cheng actually liked the excitement. Xu Mo didn't like it anyway. He went shopping with Qi Wenwen and Gu Yuxin every day. How could he like this?

"Not willing?" Cheng Xiaoman asked.

"No."

Cheng Xiaoman is different from Xu Mo. She has been living alone since she started working, and she has never been in love during this period. The Chinese New Year is often the most difficult time for her because she has no one to accompany her.

But now Xu Mo's appearance has filled her gap. When she was in college, she was a girl who loved running and making trouble.

The reason why Xu Zhiyuan broke up with Cheng Xiaoman at that time was.

It was also because Xu Zhiyuan felt that this girl was too noisy.

She is not a woman who lives at home, so she finally chose Chen Lirong.

So, the father's debt must be paid by the son, and things Xu Zhiyuan didn't want to do would eventually happen to Xu Mo.

Cheng Xiaoman calculated that she hadn't visited the annual party like this in four or five years. Everything she saw was novel, and she was not short of money. The traps on the street cost only five yuan and thirty, and the shooting cost two. Ten yuan, very cheap.

Cheng Xiaoman wanted to play with everything he saw, first roping, and then shooting.

When Xu Mo saw Cheng Xiaoman shooting there, his hands were itchy and he asked me to try it too.

"Then when we compete, don't say I won't let you go. I was a shooting champion in college." Cheng Xiaoman said with a smile.

Xu Mo chuckled: "Then I'm really envious. We can't even touch a gun in college now."

So it was so snappy.

Xu Mo's side hit all the shots, but Cheng Xiaoman's side was a little nervous when he saw how powerful Xu Mo was, and actually missed one shot.

But the boss was a kind-hearted person. He smiled and handed the prize to the two people and said, "You two are the most accurate couple I have ever seen!"

The prize is a couple cup, blue for boys and red for girls. When the two cups are together, the cartoon characters on them will kiss.

Cheng Xiaoman's face turned red after hearing this. He wanted to complain about whether the boss looked down on people. I'm over thirty, you say my nephew and I are a couple?

Before she could complain, Xu Mo had already given the money to the boss and said with a smile: "The boss is really good at talking. I will make a fortune in the New Year!"

"Hey, thanks boss!"

Xu Mo took the two couple cups, smiled and said to Cheng Xiaoman, "Let's go?"

Cheng Xiaoman rolled his eyes, but followed Xu Mo and left obediently.

Xu Mo put the couple's cup in a bag and handed it to Cheng Xiaoman. Cheng Xiaoman said, "I can't use it. Can you take it back and give it to your girlfriend?"

Xu Mo said: "I have to bring a cup from the capital to Hanzhou? It's too troublesome. I'd better give it to you, Aunt Cheng."

Xu Mo smiled brightly, but Cheng Xiaoman was still worried about what her boss said just now. She said that the boss just now really didn't know how to look at people.

"I'm over thirty, but he actually said that we were lovers. Isn't this just poking my old cow into eating young grass?"

Xu Mo smiled disapprovingly after hearing this and said, "No way, Aunt Cheng, you are overthinking. He only said that because you are young."

"go with!"

"Let's go and see if there's anything else fun?" Xu Mo asked.

At this point, Cheng Xiaoman nodded simply. She and Xu Mo quickly ran into the crowd and played games like fishing for goldfish and the haunted house. In the end, they were all sweaty. The main reason was that Xu Mo was also very good. What were they playing? It's all easy to catch, just like fishing for goldfish or something. Cheng Xiaoman couldn't catch it for a long time, but Xu Mo caught it as soon as he fished it.

Of course, I will definitely give it to Cheng Xiaoman after I catch it.

After that, we entered the haunted house again. The ghost inside was not scary. Even though we knew it was played by a human being, Cheng Xiaoman still couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw him rushing over in a menacing manner.

It was at this time that Xu Mo held Cheng Xiaoman's hand.

Cheng Xiaoman, who was in his thirties, suddenly felt like a deer that he had not seen for a long time.

Xu Mo walked in front, and Cheng Xiaoman followed. The two held their hands tightly, and Cheng Xiaoman couldn't help but smile.

By the time they came out from playing in the square, the two of them were already covered in sweat. At this time, fireworks happened to be set off in the middle of the square.

The car was driven by Cheng Xiaoman, but for the convenience of Xu Mo's transportation in the capital, Cheng Xiaoman gave the car to Xu Mo. Xu Mo first sent Cheng Xiaoman home, and then went home himself.

When sending Cheng Xiaoman home, Cheng Xiaoman didn't want to leave Xu Mo for some reason. She said, "Xu Mo, thank you. I haven't been so happy for a long time."

"It's nothing, Aunt Cheng. I just discovered that you have such a cute side, Aunt Cheng." Xu Mo said with a smile.

After saying this, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat ambiguous for a moment.
