v2 Chapter 419: Three thousand seven hundred twenty one

"See if you just came out of a venture capital company, are you starting your own company?" Henry looked at Zhou Hongyi with a smile on his face, and asked slowly.

Zhou Hongyi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Henry involuntarily. Henry is 185cm tall, his face is biased towards the Americans, his skin is fair, he looks strong, sunny, handsome, and his brows seem to have an imperial majesty. The smile when the corner of his mouth is raised, reveals a strong sense of confidence and is full of charm.

Zhou Hongyi looked at Henry for a while, and thought, this is a face that can fascinate thousands of women!

"Yes, I founded a new company with my relatives and colleagues. The full name is 3721 Technology Company!" Zhou Hongyi replied.

"3721? Hehe, as expected!" Henry couldn't help but smile when he heard the words.

When Zhou Hongyi talked about his company at this time, the chatter box opened immediately. He chattered in front of Henry and Lu Zhishan and began to introduce his company. "3721 Technology Company provides Chinese Internet services. Users do not need to memorize complex domain names, directly in the browser. Enter the Chinese name in the address bar, and you can go directly to the company website or find company and product information..."

"Sounds interesting," Henry said. "Hehe, if you don't mind, let's find a cafe and have a good chat! Maybe...I will be willing to invest in your company!"

"you are……?"

"Me? My name is William," Henry didn't want to reveal his identity for the time being, because 3721 was doing search, and Isearch was also doing search, so he deliberately said a false identity. Immediately, Henry pointed to Lu Zhishan and introduced: "This is Uncle Lu Zhishan, the chairman of Mingyue Supermarket, and he is also my father-in-law!"

Zhou Hongyi was surprised when he heard this. Although he didn't know Lu Zhishan, Ming Yue supermarkets were famous, with a market value of tens of billions of yuan, and supermarkets opened all over China. In a word, it is very rich!

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I am very glad to meet you here. My name is Zhou Hongyi!" Zhou Hongyi's attitude seemed very respectful.

"I'm also very happy to meet you, boy," Lu Zhishan smiled faintly, "Looking at you, you are only in your twenties... Well, you can start your own business at a young age! Not bad, young and promising what!"

"It's not a big deal. Our company still lacks development funds. So, I have to seek the help of venture capital!" As he said, Zhou Hongyi looked at Lu Zhishan and Henry with scorching eyes. After learning the identity of Lu Zhishan, Zhou Hongyi knew that he had met the benefactor, and as long as he seized the opportunity, he might be able to get investment. Although Lu Zhishan is not very interested in his company, his son-in-law seems to be very interested!

Henry smiled: "In this case, there is a coffee shop in front of us. We are drinking coffee and talking."

"Okay!" Zhou Hongyi nodded quickly in response.

A few minutes later, the three of them walked into the cafe, and then asked the waiter for three high-quality coffee.

"Mr. Zhou, how many employees does 3721 have now?" Henry asked, "How is the development?"

"Counting me, there are only 25 employees, of which 8 are programmers! The main business of the 3721 company is to provide "Internet real name" registration for the time being. Each registration requires 100 RMB, and there are currently more than 800 users. Internet real name Registration is just the beginning. The ultimate goal of 3721's development is to use real names on the Internet to switch to Chinese search."

"Huh, ambition is not small!" Henry said, "but as far as I know, Isearch has occupied an absolute monopoly in the Chinese Chinese search market. How can 3721 break this deadlock?"

Lu Zhishan just picked up the coffee cup to drink coffee, but he was stunned when he heard their conversation. He looked at Zhou Hongyi with a weird expression. The big boss of Isearch was sitting across from Zhou Hongyi. But he didn't know Henry's details, and he said in front of his competitors, isn't this sending his head up and chopping it off?

Zhou Hongyi said at this time: "Although I don't say surpassing Isearch, I can at least steal a lot of market share from it! 3721 In addition to the network real-name method, there is another trick! However, this requires your investment, so I can say! "

Henry pouted his lips and said in his heart, what means do you have, I don't know yet? Isn't it just a hooligan? Mandatory installation, can’t uninstall! For example, when a user opens a certain webpage or installs a certain software, the 3721 plug-in will be installed into the user's computer forcibly through various means such as bundled installation, and even professionals cannot uninstall it completely. At the same time, 3721 cooperated with many personal websites, and 3721 window advertisements popped up, and some windows could not be closed at all.

Once 3721 becomes bigger and stronger, it will force other companies to buy its real-name online. The 3721 network real name is similar to Baidu's bidding rankings, that is, if you don't spend money to buy it, you will not be able to search for content.

Speaking of it, 3721 has become the most popular Internet company in China through hooligans. In the early stage, it should be regarded as the most powerful Internet company. Other Internet companies are still struggling, but 3721 has already made a fortune.

Is Baidu jealous after seeing it? Of course jealous! It competes with 3721, launches Baidu Soba plug-in, adopts 3721 the same method of cleaning rogues, but it can't do 3721. Baidu couldn't do it, so he had to go home and find "Mom~lightnovelpub.net~, sued 3721 for abnormal competition, as if Baidu itself had never used hooliganism...

However, although Baidu won, it was useless. 3721 lost tens of thousands of dollars and sent Baidu away.

3721 occupies an absolute market, and at the same time it is almost "indignation between humans and gods." At this time, Yahoo threw out an olive branch, Zhou Hongyi couldn't resist the temptation, and sold it for 120 million US dollars. 3721 was subsequently renamed Yahoo Assistant, but unfortunately, 3721 was tossed to death by Yahoo.

Tencent, Baidu...Which company has never played a rogue? Although Zhou Hongyi named the company 3721, he himself failed to do so.

Regardless of his "three seven twenty one", persistence is victory!

The end of the 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century was the best and most chaotic era of the Internet in China. Only by seizing the opportunity can greatness be achieved.

Currently, although Isearch dominates the Chinese market, even Google has been jointly suppressed by Baidu and the Chinese government, and finally had to withdraw from the Chinese market. Henry didn't have much hope for Isearch. Search is very important for a country. You can only see what the country wants you to see. If you don't want to see it, you must definitely block it! Simply put, it is to control people's thoughts!

Therefore, unless foreign Internet search companies are willing to become a tool of the Chinese government, the state will definitely try to get rid of your company. The so-called crimes, why don’t you have any trouble... From time to time, one or two policies will be introduced. If you make any corrections, just block the website, do it a few more times, and you won’t be killed!

Therefore, whether Isearch company should break up and succumb to the Chinese government is a question that makes Henry very entangled.
