360 is headquartered in Chaoyang District. When Zhou Yujie arrived, Zhou Hongwei came down to greet him in person.

Zhou Hongwei is very energetic at this moment. Although he was almost crushed by Penguin a few months ago, this huge popularity has also brought huge traffic to 360, which allows more people to install 360 software on their computers. More importantly, according to the plan, 360 will be listed in the United States at the end of this month. Because of the 3Q war, investors are obviously very optimistic about 360.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Facing this most controversial hero on the Internet, Zhou Yujie has to admire him.

In 1998, 28-year-old Zhou Hongwei left Founder Computer, which had been working for several years, and established the 3721 navigation website. At that time, hao123 had basically occupied the market. For the sake of competition, 3721 used rogue means to forcibly seize the user's homepage. Ordinary novices could not change it. Although this behavior aroused the anger of many people, 3721's purpose was achieved and it successfully gained a certain market share.

In 2003, in order to expand its domestic business, Yahoo, the then international portal giant, decided to acquire a local Internet company. At that time, the choices were Baidu and 3721. In the end, Baidu was unwilling to sell it, so Yahoo chose 3721, which cost 120 million US dollars. Zhou Hongwei took the opportunity to join Yahoo China as vice president and also obtained hundreds of millions of funds.

Two years later, Zhou Hongwei decided to start a business again, so he resigned from Yahoo and acquired Qihoo 360 at the time. After that, through free business model and product and technology innovation, he subverted the traditional Internet security concept and quickly defeated traditional antivirus software companies such as Kingsoft, Rising, etc. with the slogan of permanent free.

Although Zhou Hongwei's business methods are not very clever, because of his age, he missed the trend in the late 1990s. In the era of giant monopoly, he was able to become half of the domestic Internet giant with antivirus software, which is enough to prove that his ability is also the top small group in China.

"Haha, we are all surnamed Zhou, we are destined to be together. 500 years ago, it might have been a family." Zhou Hongwei shook hands and laughed, and a group of senior executives around him also became lively.

"There are two Internet companies with the surname Ma, and it's not surprising that two more surnames Zhou." Zhou Yujie said with a smile. In fact, he also thought it was strange in his previous life. It was so coincidental that the founders of the two giants of the Internet actually had the surname Ma.

"Yes, please come in there." Zhou Hongwei said with a smile.

A group of 360 executives took Zhou Yujie around half of the building and said half of it because 360's current headquarters is also rented.

Although 360 is already 0.5 among the 3.5 Internet giants in China, the business time is short and it has been less than 5 years. The profit margin of the antivirus software itself is very small and needs to be cashed out after drainage. Therefore, 360 intends to enter the game field in 2009, which is also the initial reason for the 3Q war.

This is why Zhou Hongwei attaches great importance to the upcoming listing financing. For 360, which has no stable source of profit, listing can obtain a large amount of funds. With this amount of funds and his own traffic, 360 can also make multiple attempts to find its own profit direction.

The biggest problem of 360 at present is that it does not have a stable and reliable profit model. Previously, 360 successfully launched browser, search, input methods and other businesses with its monopoly antivirus software, but these are all leftovers from others and can be eaten a little, but compared with the size of 360 software, it is still far from enough. In other words, 360's biggest problem is that it does not know how to monetize its own traffic.

After a walk around, Zhou Yujie and Zhou Hongwei came to an independent office. Compared to Li Yanhong, Zhou Hongwei's office is larger and the interior decoration is more luxurious.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the most luxurious office I have ever seen." Zhou Yujie said with a smile.

"I have decorated this office for 10 million." Zhou Hongwei said indifferently: "Maybe it's a little extravagant, but isn't we just making so much money just for the sake of life?"

"That's right." Zhou Yujie nodded. With Zhou Hongwei's net worth, it is estimated that after 360 is listed, spending 10 million a week may not be as fast as his money-making speed.

Zhou Hongwei took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet behind and smiled and said, "Come on, Mr. Zhou, this is the authentic 1982 Lafite. I finally bought it. You also know that there are too many high-end fakes in the domestic market now."

"Then I'm really honored." Zhou Yujie said with a smile.

For the 1982 Lafite thing, I heard that the transaction volume completed in the domestic market next year is ten times the total output of France in 1982. It is really difficult to buy real products.

"Mr. Zhou, if you like it, I will give you a few bottles." Zhou Hongwei said.

Zhou Yujie said: "This is too expensive."

Zhou Hongwei said: "There is nothing expensive or not, it's just red wine. This thing is actually just a gimmick. If you really can make your career bigger in the future, this thing can be used as water every day. Of course, it may not work for 1982 years."

"Okay, then thank you Mr. Zhou." Zhou Yujie agreed and said, "To be honest, I have to thank you Mr. Zhou for your article some time ago."

The article calculated by 360 pop-up window has greatly increased Quxin's popularity and download volume, and also made Zhou Yujie more confident to negotiate with several venture capital firms, and finally got a good price.

Zhou Hongwei smiled and said, "Actually, after the New Year, you have already helped us 360, not to mention that we have the same enemy, so we should naturally help.

But I'm very curious, with so many entrepreneurial projects on the Internet, why do you have to do socializing? This is a life-and-death project?"

"A lifetime of death does not mean that there is no chance. My social interaction was monopolized by text messages and phone calls. Has QQ risen differently?" Zhou Yujie said with a smile.

"That's true." Zhou Hongwei knew that the other party had not said everything, but this might involve someone's business secrets, so he didn't ask too much, but instead said: "The biggest trouble with Teng Xun's competition is actually not the huge traffic it has in QQ, but the resources behind Teng Xun."

"What does it mean?" Zhou Yujie was a little confused.

Zhou Hongwei smiled and said, "Teng Xun started his business by QQ, but after so many years of expansion, Teng Xun's other businesses have long become the strongest in many aspects. To put it bluntly, even if QQ is gone, Teng Xun is still a giant now.

Business is inseparable from Z-governance, and its relationship with the above is also a major advantage. In November last year, what you saw was only part of the struggle between 3q.

What’s behind it,………………………………………………….”

Zhou Yujie said: "Actually, I have considered this, but there seems to be no way out in a short period of time."
