By spreading rumors, slandering and discrediting opponents, we defeated well-known companies in the industry such as Yahoo, Ma Yun, Baidu and CINNC (in turn).
Showing the hypocrisy of "angel investment" to the outside world, but secretly owning the largest forum gunman company in China, tens of thousands of gunmen turned their opponents from angels to demons overnight;
Making up lies such as "antivirus companies make viruses" and "antivirus software is always free" in an attempt to revive "3721"in the mode of antivirus software;
There are people in the core team who are constantly condemned by conscience and leave. "Rogue godfather" Zhou is a lone ranger;
..... This is Zhou and his Qihoo 360, a capable player in the industry who has not yet revealed his true colors, and an honest and treacherous "IT".
Zhou started with 37,265,438+0, with an annual income of 60 million.
Zhou graduated from the Department of Systems Engineering, School of Management, Jiaotong University with a master's degree.
1998 10, Zhou founded the internet Guofeng company, and its only product is the 372 1 Chinese Internet plug-in which is well-known in the industry.
In 2002, 372 1 reached its brilliant peak. In one year, plug-ins invaded 70 million computers, with annual income exceeding 65.438+0.4 billion and net profit exceeding 60 million. That year's Spring Festival party, which cost 20 million yuan on Monday, posted the sentence "It's easier to surf the Internet in Chinese regardless of the willy-nilly" everywhere in CCTV like a dog skin plaster.
In contrast, in 2002, Alibaba of Jack Ma, Baidu of Robin Li and Netease of Ding Lei were still on the dividing line between bankruptcy and profit. Even if they make a profit, it is only a few million, which is an order of magnitude less than the profit brought by the rogue plug-in 372 1.
In contrast, the anti-virus market in 2002 was tepid, and the total net profit of the whole anti-virus industry would not be much more than 372 1.
372 1 successfully adopted virus technology, misleading a generation of programmers.
372 1, a plug-in, almost reached the peak of technology. It goes deep into the bottom of the system and adopts many methods such as driving, deformation, anti-unloading, self-protection and hook injection that many viruses may not adopt. Even professional programmers want to completely uninstall, and sometimes there is nothing they can do.
At that time, many virus writers praised the driver technology of 372 1. Even Jiang Haike (the founder of An Tian Laboratory), who is well-known in Baidao, wrote an article to discuss why 372 1 plug-in is a virus.
In the face of huge profits, the reputation of 372 1 has also been destroyed to the peak, and the difference in reputation has even affected the brands of peers. Some people even classify industry leaders such as Sina and Sohu as 372 1, calling them "cyber swindlers and cyber hooligans".
To make matters worse, the money-making effect of 372 1 harms a large number of programmers and misleads a large number of shareware. Many authors of shareware, seeing this bad way of making money, began to study as usual. Some shareware also directly bundles 372 1 plug-ins. After installing 372 1 every time, you will get remuneration ranging from 0.3 yuan to 1 yuan from Zhouchu.
This way of "earning a dollar" has deeply influenced the atmosphere of the software industry in China from the ideological bottom. Since then, no one has delved into technology and studied users' needs, but wanted to "plug in a few more computers so that users can't unload them after plugging them in, and get 372 1 more money".
This example of "bad money drives out good money, and bad people suffer" made the internet community in China in chaos at that time.
372 1 small means to defeat Baidu.
