He seems to have heard of this company, but it doesn't seem to be very well-known.
Three seven twenty one!
3721!
This was one of the largest rogue companies in Xia Country in the late 1990s and early 21st century.
The founder was Zhou Hong, the boss of the later 306 antivirus software company.
The 3721 plug-in can be said to be the originator of Xia Guo's rogue software.
is the predecessor of the plug-in family bucket.
Computer users around 2000, without exception, hated this plug-in.
Before Chen Xiao was reborn, from 2002 to 2003, in order to compete with Baidu in the search engine market, 3721 spent a lot of money to cooperate with many websites. As long as users opened these websites, the advertisement of 3721 assistant would pop up.
And 3721 will be installed on your computer without knowing it.
At that time, after some users were forced to install 3721 Internet Assistant, the browser address bar was implanted with more than 20 url lists without notice, and the content was nothing more than pornography, gambling and drugs.
Pornography, gambling and drugs are profitable artifacts in any era.
Moreover, 3721 also passed various technical barriers to prevent users from uninstalling or deleting it.
In addition, 3721 also used old rogue methods to delete and tamper with competitors' products.
Zhou Hong also used this method to get nearly 70 million installed capacity in 2003 when the number of Xia Guo netizens was less than 80 million.
This kind of behavior made Xia Guo's older generation of netizens hate it, and cursed hooligans.
Later, the 3721 company was at a disadvantage in the competition with Baidu, and was acquired by Yahoo for US$120 million.
Later, Zhou Hong founded 306 Company, and became famous in the Internet world with free security assistants to help users antivirus.
Many netizens in the new era have gradually forgotten that Zhou Hong is actually the leader of the older generation of Internet hooligans.
He also regards 306 anti-virus software as the savior, and believes that he has changed the payment history of the anti-virus software market.
Little did they know that when the 306 software occupied the market in large quantities for free.
Zhou Hong's rogue nature was revealed again.
He used 306 anti-virus software as a new platform, forcing users to install 306 browsers, 306 application markets, 306 mobile assistants, 306 game assistants, 306 Internet assistants, 306 decompression and other family buckets without knowing it.
And from time to time, some disgusting advertisements will pop up for you, and continue to make profits in this rogue way.
The user still can't turn off the advertisement no matter how they block it, and then asks for help from 306 antivirus software.
As a result, 306 promoted users to install one of the rogue software in the family bucket¡ªSoftware Manager, and now there are more advertisements
User: "I'm xxx, you're xxx!"
However, in this era, because of Chen Xiao's rebirth, some changes have taken place in history.
The 11181 website founded by Chen Xiao, and the deeply optimized windows98 and windowsxp systems that he secretly created have occupied the market in large numbers.
According to Wang Xiang's statistics, the number of IE homepages locked by the 11181 website has grown from less than 1 million at the beginning to nearly 70 million at present.
That is to say, Changtian Technology's 11181 accounts for more than 85% of Xiaguo users.
And because of the cooperation between Changtian Technology and Baidu, the search engine that comes with the 11181 website is Baidu's search engine.
It is this kind of cooperation between the two parties, as well as the terrible installed capacity of the 11181 website, just advertising or promotion, as well as the dividends from Baidu, can bring hundreds of millions of yuan in profits to Changtian Technology every year.
The better 11181 lives, the more miserable 3721 will live.
3721 Modify and lock the ie homepage, etc. No matter how long the technology is, it is just a pediatrics here.
So even if Zhou Hong spent a lot of money to cooperate with the website, the user accidentally downloaded 3721 Assistant.
However, the 3721 assistant has no way to compete with the 11181 plug-in.
In terms of hooliganism, the reborn Chen Xiao is of course even more hooligan than Zhou Hong.
Moreover, Chen Xiao knows more about technology than Zhou Hong.
Just afraid that hooligans are educated!
So in this era, the current installed capacity of 3721 assistants is less than 1 million, and the valuation has also plummeted.
Not to mention being acquired by Yahoo for $120 million.
Zhou Hong was still a young man at this time, after losing the competition with Baidu and the 11181 website.
He was very anxious at this time, and was going to sell the 3721 website, thinking of other ways to make money.
But 3721 can't sell for much now, even if it can be sold for 10 million, it will be a sky-high price.
Because of Chen Xiao's rebirth, Wang Xiang had heard of 3721's name, but he was not familiar with it.
Chen Xiao sent Wang Xiang to Yanjing to negotiate with Zhou Hong in order to take advantage of Zhou Hong's rascal character.
? To deal with a company like Jingshan, which has followed every step and is afraid of wolves and tigers, it also needs this kind of rogue talent.
Last year, Microsoft attacked and optimized the pirated Windows98 system. Changtian Technology predicted the relevant news in advance, so it activated the firewall function of the deeply optimized system.
And quite targeted to prevent Microsoft's attack.
However, this kind of behavior is definitely not sustainable. Changtian Technology has limited manpower, and it is impossible to spend a lot of manpower and energy to guard this pirated system, and always check for hackers or Trojan horse attacks.
So now users who use deeply optimized windows system still need to install anti-virus software.
It is necessary to quickly occupy the anti-virus software market and run on the living space of Jingshan.
Chen Xiao is about to enter the antivirus software market.
Changtian Technology has technology, but no talent.
Zhou Hong is a talent, but he currently has no skills.
Of course, Chen Xiao can do the free antivirus software by himself.
But wouldn't it be nice to spend some money and ask Zhou Hong to help with it?
"You mean to buy 3721 wholly?" Wang Xiang was a little puzzled.
Whether it is negotiating with Jingshan, or rushing to develop a simple version of word software, Wang Xiang can understand that this is Changtian Technology's strategy to deal with Jingshan.
But what does the sudden acquisition of a rogue plug-in company have to do with dealing with Jingshan?
"Yes, buy this company and let their boss work at Changtian Technology."
Chen Xiao still gave Zhou Hong some leeway.
"You can leave 10% to 20% of the shares to Zhou Hong, it's up to him to choose."
Currently 3721 is in a desperate situation, and no company or capital in the world is interested in this company or Zhou Hong.
Chen Xiao is absolutely sure that he can acquire 3721 in a very short period of time.
Although Wang Xiang didn't know what kind of medicine was bought in Chen Xiao's stomach, he still followed Chen Xiao's order.
Wang Xiang and Yang Fei went to Yanjing at the same time.
Wang Xiang was going to negotiate with 3721, and Yang Fei was going to talk to Jingshan.
Chen Xiao stayed in Jiangzhou and personally supervised the development process of office.
Both sides are racing against time.
Chen Xiao drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp. Changtian Technology is not strong enough, otherwise it would be impossible to be controlled by Microsoft.
Yang Fei has arrived at Yanjing Jingshan headquarters.
Originally, he was hopeful that he could negotiate with Jingshan, after all, both parties are Xia Guo's companies.
But it was rejected.
There is no way, Changtian Technology also found a middleman, Dean Qian of Xia Guo Academy of Sciences.
Dean Qian of Xiaguo Academy of Sciences also personally talked with the boss of Jingshan, which prompted the boss of Jingshan to meet with the new CEO Zou Hai and Yang Fei. The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.
