The morning meeting lasted for two hours.

The guests took turns to the stage, but the atmosphere on the scene was still not active.

To be honest, there are quite a few people coming today.

It does not mean that Internet celebrities are necessarily sought after in the circle. For example, Dong Qifeng, as the founder of the backwards, has even surpassed many successful entrepreneurs.

For example, Dai Zhikang, in the eyes of many coders, his influence is greater than that of Zhou Hongyi. The former is a technical master, while the latter is just a successful product manager. In terms of the core of the product, 3721 is obviously not comparable to Discuz.

Chen Qiaoshan's goal has been initially achieved. Stimulated by money, the concept of entrepreneurship has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Many people are thinking about financing. Even if Zhou Hongyi comes on stage, the effect is still not as enthusiastic as before. As for the search he vigorously promotes, few people are interested.

All participants were insiders, and everyone understood that the search market was in fierce competition and the user's awareness had already taken shape.

Unless you can get tangible benefits, no one will be willing to rashly choose a product that has not been tested by the market even when the user's habits have been developed.

...

Although Friendship Hotel is just a four-star hotel, its predecessor was a guesthouse of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and places like VIP Building are comparable to five-star standards.

The luncheon is not low in specifications, mainly to entertain the special guests, which is set up in the small banquet hall of the VIP building.

Chen Qiaoshan and Zhou Hongyi attended the reception together. The two did not communicate too much, and they were full of people and were not a place to talk about things.

At the end of the banquet, Zhou Hongyi took the initiative to find him.

"Mr. Chen, if it's convenient, why don't we find a place to chat?"

Chen Qiaoshan did not refuse, and he offered to the initiative: "There is a cafe on the sixth floor, why don't we go there and have a seat?"

"Okay." Zhou Hongyi didn't want to waste time. If it weren't for the investigation, he wouldn't have been left until now.

Just as the two were about to leave the banquet hall, Tuo Xiaoxue suddenly came over. She obviously recognized Zhou Hongyi, and could not hide the surprise in her eyes.

As a student of Peking University's Information Science and Technology, she has heard of these Internet celebrities. What she didn't expect was that Chen Qiaoshan actually got together with these people.

The more you contact, the greater the impact you will bring.

Tuo Xiaoxue recovered from the Qingming Festival just after a moment of loss of consciousness. She said to Chen Qiaoshan: "Mr. Chen, there was an exchange meeting in the afternoon and an entrepreneur forum. Mr. Liu just called and asked if you still participate in these two activities?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Stop all the arrangements in the afternoon. Don't look for me if you don't have any important matters."

Hearing this, Zhou Hongyi, who was standing beside her, felt alert.

Through the morning speech, he had a new understanding of Chen Qiaoshan, who was rich, capable, and had vision. Such people must not be taken lightly.

...

When they got upstairs, the two found a private room.

Chen Qiaoshan asked for a pot of Tieguanyin, but he didn't rush to speak. Instead, he sent the waitress away and poured tea himself.

It is inevitable to have two drinks when going out for a social event.

He knew very well that it would be difficult to gain a advantage without a clear mind when dealing with people like Zhou Hongyi.

Chen Qiaoshan was not in a hurry to speak, but the other party was not willing to wait.

"Mr. Chen, what does that morning's material mean?"

Zhou Hongyi spoke first. He actually felt like a mirror in his heart. The search was very simple. He took a fancy to this name, that's all.

With Yahoo's technical strength, searching is an old business, and it is not even comparable to Google's qualifications. Developing search is naturally a piece of cake and there is no difficulty.

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, the wise man doesn't say secret words. Yisou's brand is suspected of infringement. Don't you deny this?"

"There is no problem with Yishuo. We have the ownership of the domain name and have completed the trademark registration and filing. There is no dispute."

Zhou Hongyi naturally couldn't let go. He would not lose the situation. Even if someone held the handle, he would not compromise easily.

"But as far as I know, half a month before Yisou went online, a person who claimed to be Zhang Qian contacted the owner of the 1sou domain name and proposed the purchase intention."

Speaking of this, Chen Qiaoshan stopped.

He glanced at Zhou Hongyi and saw that the other party was silent at all, so he had to continue saying: "And this Zhang Qian should be the general manager of your company's search business department. I was right?"

The evidence was revealed directly, and Zhou Hongyi was also blind.

If he insists that it is a coincidence, someone must believe it, but it is indeed a coincidence when he searches.

When doing Chinese search, it was strongly opposed by Yahoo headquarters. It was not economical or professional to put its own mature brands on the ground and start a new search engine.

Yahoo is now the world's most well-deserved Internet giant. Zhou Hongyi is now just a professional manager and it took a lot of effort to convince the American devils.

However, when naming, I encountered many problems. At the beginning, I decided to be Soso, Just, So, and So. For a multinational company, "just do" is definitely not possible. Later, I decided to be Soso. Unfortunately, there are already search products with the same name on the market.

Zhou Hongyi didn't have the heart to explain the twists and turns. He said: "The reason why we call Yisou is because we took the first letter of Yahoo, and there is no plagiarism."

Chen Qiaoshan smiled, but did not argue. Instead, he picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then said: "Mr. Zhou, you actually don't need to explain. This statement is not valid at all. It's better to say it is obtained from your name."

Zhou Hongyi's face became very ugly, and this sentence was very heartbreaking. Yisou is a brand of Yahoo and does not belong to him Zhou Hongyi.

This kind of gossip has also been heard in the company. He didn't take it seriously, but even outsiders knew it.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't know how to beat him up. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He just said it casually and unexpectedly hit the other party's pain point.

"Mr. Chen, since I've talked about this, I won't talk nonsense. We have contacted the domain name holder of 1sou, but the other party does not respond to us. If you know the relevant situation, I hope to let you know one or two."

Chen Qiaoshan didn't comment, but he was complaining in his heart that there was no such cheap thing in the world.

He knew very well that this time the matter was a domain name dispute. As for the so-called plagiarism and infringement, it was really not a good idea. However, this alone is enough to search and drink a pot of it. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a strange product.

"Mr. Zhou, I don't hide it from you. We have reached a preliminary agreement with the owner of 1sou and are preparing to acquire it."

Zhou Hongyi suddenly turned a furious look, "What are you going to do?"

How could he not be angry? If the domain name is in the hands of his own, it might just pass by. If he comes to the door, he can pay the money to settle it.

Who knew that it was so straightforward that I had a desperate mind and ignored the temptation of the acquisition.

Zhou Hongyi knew very well that once the domain name fell into the hands of someone who wanted it, it would be a huge trouble.

Even if it is Yahoo, it will not be a small amount of marketing promotion costs if it rebuilds a new search engine.

The old saying goes that the new official takes office with three shots. One search is his first shot when he takes over Yahoo. In any case, Zhou Hongyi cannot watch the project die.

What is scary comes from? I was careless at the beginning, and I had known that I would spend more time buying the domain name, so I shouldn't have been in a hurry to bring Yisou to the market.

If the domain name really falls into Chen Qiaoshan's hands, this matter may be troublesome.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I'm just talking about intention, I haven't signed the contract yet."

Chen Qiaoshan was not kidding. When Wang Sifeng told him about this, he made up his mind that this was a rare opportunity and might be able to make good use of it.

Zhou Hongyi didn't eat this set, and he asked bluntly: "What do you want?"

Chen Qiaoshan said seriously: "It's very simple. I want to cooperate with Yahoo China."

Zhou Hongyi sneered, "You are planning to cooperate with us like this. You are threatening, and I can't see any sincerity."

Chen Qiaoshan was unmoved, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, listen to me finish my words.

Putting aside the domain name dispute, there is no channel for promotion in the first search.

It is definitely impossible for Yahoo. Everyone knows that it is impossible to compete for its own brand once and the portal is even more impossible. Sohu has Sogou, Sina's Aiwen, and NetEase have news searches. Apart from that, you don't have a better channel."

Zhou Hongyi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person in front of him knew the market so well and dared to make accurate judgments based on speculation alone. With this vision, it was no wonder that he dared to be foolish with him.

Zhou Hongyi's thoughts were so loud that he might as well listen to what he said, "Then do you have any good suggestions?"

Right, that's what it means.

Chen Qiaoshan leaned back slightly and adjusted to a comfortable position.

Not to mention, although this state-owned old store looks a bit old, its comfort is beyond doubt.

Chen Qiaoshan's mentality was very relaxed, "Mr. Zhou, besides the portal, the best promotion platform for Yisou is Kangsheng."

"Oh?" Zhou Hongyi was a little puzzled.

He knew Kang Sheng. Speaking of which, the two families still had some connections. They both had financing from Jifu Asia, and their personal friendship with Zhou Zhengning was pretty good.

But in his impression, Discuz is just a forum system or an open source, a software service provider, how can it be related to promotion?

"How to promote Kangsheng? Is there any channel?"

"Mr. Zhou, Discuz has more than 80,000 installed users. Do you know what this means?"

Zhou Hongyi was also surprised. Discuz is not Windows, one is installed on a personal computer, and the former is installed on a website. This data is a bit scary.

If 80,000 sites use Kangsheng's system, if they can reach cooperation with Kangsheng, the conversion rate will be amazing even if it is only 10%.

Zhou Hongyi was a little moved. He didn't expect that Kang Sheng had already achieved such a scale.

Even if a site has only a few hundred loyal users, Discuz has covered nearly 10 million netizens, accounting for almost one-tenth of the number of domestic netizens.

With the development of the Internet, this number will continue to expand.

Thinking of the open source strategy that the media praised at the time, Zhou Hongyi had to admire Kang Sheng's decision, which was almost viral marketing.

Once you can deeply cultivate the free market, such as installing a search for free templates, this is definitely the best channel resource.

Zhou Hongyi couldn't help but feel a little excited. He forced himself to hold on and struggled in the market for more than ten years, so he naturally knew that only by giving up can one gain.

He stared at Chen Qiaoshan with a bright look and asked, "What do you want?"

"It's very simple. I need Yahoo to help my forum divert traffic!" Chen Qiaoshan's answer was very concise. "Of course, it would be better if the two sides reached a strategic cooperation."
Chapter completed!
