141 Zhong Yue's Counterattack
After get off work, Zhong Yue drove to the animation studio, while Chu Yun sat in the passenger seat. She didn't have a driver's license and couldn't drive, so she could only let the boss be the driver.
On the way, Zhong Yue received a call from Xu Ruoyun.
"Where are you?"
On the phone, Xu Ruoyun's tone, who had always been calm, was a little quick, which surprised him.
"On the way to the animation studio." Zhong Yue was guessing in his heart what happened that made her so excited.
Xu Ruoyun immediately said, "Send me the address and I'll go there now."
"So urgent?" Zhong Yue asked.
"What happened to Qihu."
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yue showed a smile on his face. Is it finally here?
On the side, Chu Yun was not idle, so she took out her mobile phone and searched online. She knew that Qihu was the biggest enemy of the company at present, and Qihu was in trouble, which was a good thing for everyone in the company.
Soon, she found the latest news about Qihu and said excitedly, "The news broke out on the Internet that Qihu's mobile phone security software had a fatal loophole. Currently, hundreds of thousands of mobile phones using Qihu's security software have been invaded by viruses."
"Yes." Zhong Yue nodded, indicating that he knew.
Online news often has exaggerated elements and is not completely believed. What is the specific situation? We have to wait for Xu Ruoyun's news.
Fifteen minutes later, the animation studio.
"This animation studio is my industry. I am currently working on three projects, one is the animation of "Diwu", and it will be released in the fourth season soon. The second is the movie version of "Diwu", and the third is the Red Egg "Ice Sculpture Lord"..."
Zhong Yue casually introduced the current situation of the studio to Chu Yun, "At that time, I will ask Wang Mei to sort out the specific information of the studio, and you must remember it."
Chu Yun wrote down his words very seriously. She had heard that the boss had other companies, but she was responsible for Yiruan Company before, and this was the first time she had come.
After entering the studio, Zhong Yue introduced several people in charge of the studio to her, "This is Qi Xuefang, responsible for the film project. This is Qiu Rui. The investment director of the "Diwu" animation, and this is Cai Jianfeng, the person in charge of "Ice Sculpture Lord".
Just after the introduction, Xu Ruoyun has already brought her assistant over.
"So fast?"
Zhong Yue asked Qi Xuefang and the others to do their own work and went up to meet them.
"I happen to be nearby." Xu Ruoyun said without any politeness, "Find a place to talk to."
Zhong Yue nodded and said, "Go to my office."
The four of them arrived at the office. Without waiting for Zhong Yue to give him instructions, Chu Yun picked up the kettle to boil water.
"You should have known about the Seven Tigers, right?"
As soon as he sat down, Xu Ruoyun couldn't wait to talk about the serious matter. As soon as he looked up, he looked at him with a strange look. He couldn't help but touch his face and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Zhong Yue smiled and said, "No, I'm just strange. Mr. Xu, who has always been calm and composed, has such nervous times. It's really rare."
Xu Ruoyun sighed. Almost all the funds that Xu could use were invested in Yiruan. It was important. How could I not be nervous? But you are really calm and didn't seem to be surprised at all."
Zhong Yue shook his head and did not take over the last slap of her. He said, "Although I don't know the specific situation, such an accident cannot defeat a company of Qihu."
At this time, the water boiled, and Chu Yun poured a few cups of tea to bring it over.
Xu Ruoyun took the teacup and smiled, "I can't compare to Mr. Zhong's courage."
"Of course, it is also a pleasant thing to take this opportunity to shorten the gap with the Seven Tigers." Zhong Yue did not pretend to be arrogant and asked, "There are many different opinions on the Internet, and there are all kinds of opinions. Do you know what the situation is?"
Speaking of the serious matter, after Xu Ruoyun seriously heard that something happened to Qihu, I asked someone to ask, and then confirmed that Qihu's mobile assistant had really had an accident. It is said that they had a loophole accident a week ago, but they suppressed it."
"That time, Qihu urgently released a new version to fix the vulnerability. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, more serious problems arose. Although the real situation is not as exaggerated as mentioned on the Internet, more than 100,000 mobile phones were infected by the virus, and personal information was at risk of being leaked."
"Afterwards, although Qihu conducted emergency public relations, such a big accident could not be covered up, and it broke out completely today."
At the end of the story, Xu Ruoyun couldn't help but smile. Something happened to Qihu was definitely a major good news for Yi Ruan, who is also a competitor.
What's even better is that now there are news of the security loopholes on the Internet that Qihu has been exposed, and netizens' attention has been shifted all of a sudden. Naturally, no one pays attention to the negative news that is easy to manage. Qihu can't take care of himself and has also calmed down.
This crisis that has troubled Yiruan Company for more than a month has disappeared under such circumstances.
Zhong Yue couldn't help laughing, "The wall was falling and everyone pushed me. There must be many companies who would be happy to see Qihu Company unlucky. I guess for a while, Qihu didn't have the energy to come to trouble us."
What people who make security software are most afraid of is this kind of accident that is invaded by viruses. Although this time, it only has tens of thousands of mobile phones, which is less than one percent compared to Qihu’s hundreds of millions of mobile phone users. But if something happens, it will hurt the confidence of mobile phone users. Because you are a security software and cannot even guarantee security, who will use it?
If Qihu could suppress the news, it would be nothing. But now that things have come out, those who usually compete with Qihu and have resentment will naturally not miss the opportunity to beat the dog in the water. The news is constantly hyped up. Now several major portals, scarves, prestige, etc., are full of news about Qihu's accidents.
It can be foreseen that before this kind of limelight has passed, Qihu's life will not be easy.
Xu Ruo also has some connections in the media. If necessary, can I help?"
"Of course, Penguins and others charge in these things. We have thin arms, so we won't get involved." Zhong Yue did not have the idea of following up and stepping on it. Instead of trying to hit the competitors, it is better to do your own products well. No matter what industry you do, you will eventually rely on products to speak.
"However, we can't do nothing. I plan to release the new version originally scheduled for next week in advance. At the same time, we will increase our investment in advertising, especially TV commercials." Zhong Yue put forward his own ideas.
Xu Ruoyun heard this and asked, "Do you have a specific plan?" Zhong Yue is relatively conservative in the promotion of Yi Management. For investors like her and Heihuai, they naturally don't like overly radical plans, but they are too conservative and unsatisfied.
"This is a plan." Zhong Yue asked Chu Yun to take out the plan prepared early in the morning.
Xu Ruoyun put on her glasses and quickly browsed. Soon, she raised her head and said, "Sponsoring a variety show?"
It is no longer new to advertising on mobile apps. Sponsoring popular variety shows has proved that this is an effective advertising method. But most of them are providing physical-related services, such as travel services, maternal and child products, brand sales, second-hand cars, etc.
But can those who make security software really achieve good results at such a high cost and sponsor variety shows?
For those super popular variety shows, the sponsorship fees are more than 100 million.
"That's right." Zhong Yue said, "Now, most of the people who like to watch variety shows are young people. This is better for advertising in it than for TV series."
Xu Ruoyun nodded and continued to watch. When she saw the end, she had a preliminary judgment in her mind. The total budget of the entire publicity plan was 300 million yuan, and the big one was the variety show.
In her opinion, this plan can only be said to be fair and just in a normal way, and there is nothing that makes people shine. The cost is so huge that she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
She hesitated in her heart, and when the plan turned to the last page, she had already made a decision when she took off her glasses. She said, "The plan is good, when are you going to start?"
"I have sent someone to contact several popular variety shows." Zhong Yue's attitude towards her was not surprising. He owned an absolute majority of shares and had the right to manage the business. Even if the two investors were reserved about the plan, they would not easily object.
Of course, investors are not without countermeasures. They cannot do whatever they want and consume investors' trust without limits. That is very short-sighted behavior.
After talking about Yiruan Company, both of them relaxed. After chatting for a few words, Xu Ruoyun planned to say goodbye.
At this time, Zhong Yue suddenly asked, "Mr. Xu, how much do you know about mobile phone batteries?"
"Mobile phone battery?" Xu Ruoyun's mind turned rapidly. She knew that Zhong Yue would not mention this for no reason. She thought about it carefully and said, "I don't know much and have never invested in this before."
"Oh." Zhong Yue was not too disappointed. He just asked casually. Xu Ruoyun was not a dormant cat, and she could provide whatever he needed.
Xu Ruo, if you need it, I can help you collect information on this. You know, it is easier to find information for us when investing."
"Then I'll trouble you." Zhong Yue did not refuse. Over the past period of time, Xu Ruoyun has won a certain amount of trust from him with her performance. He also intends to establish a good relationship with her, which will save a lot of trouble in many things.
For example, in the mobile phone battery industry, whether it is acquiring or investing in a certain company, with her help, things will be much easier.
After a while, when he saw Zhong Yue, there was nothing else to do, Xu Ruoyun said goodbye and left. (To be continued.)
