On February 27, 2006, Qiandu listed antivirus software.
On March 1, 2006, Kingsoft released free version and VIP version.
On March 4, 2006, Rising announced that Rising Antivirus will never be free.
On March 8, 2006, Qihoo released Qihoo Antivirus, claiming that Qihoo Antivirus would also be free forever.
The ensuing anti-virus software makes the choices of computer users dazzling.
For antivirus software manufacturers, this is undoubtedly a war without gunpowder smoke.
At this time of hacking technology, employees are extremely nervous.
The emergence of various anti-virus software has caught everyone by surprise.
Liang Chao pays attention to the news of friends and businessmen every day, and hardly ever leaves the office.
Despite the hacking technology, there are still a few killer tricks hidden, but Liang Chao did not dare to relax in the slightest.
It is also Liang Chao's serious attitude that makes Hacker 361 develop rapidly.
In February, Hacker 361 became popular in the audience and gained a large number of users with the slogan of the first free forever in China and the ease of use of anti-virus software.
As of February 28, Hacker 361 has grown more than 5 million users by virtue of its viral outbreak, and now it has nearly 10 million users.
Hacker 361 antivirus software is already a popular phenomenon-level software.
When other software charges, Hacker 361 has been permanently free!
Hacking technology has been targeted by many capitals.
Including Sequoia Capital, CDH Investment, IDG Capital, Matrix Partners China, Hillhouse Capital and other well-known domestic and foreign capitals, they all wanted to meet the person in charge of Hacker 361, and even gave a valuation of 1.1 billion.
With a market value of 1.1 billion, this is already a very high valuation for a start-up company.
However, Feng Hao has no intention of introducing capital for the time being, and Hacker 361 is currently not short of funds.
Feng Hao came to Hacker Technology today to deal with some things.
Hacker 361 has expanded its recruitment to more than 120 people.
This is a very large number for a software company.
However, Hacker 361's office is still relatively large, and there are many seats.
Since Hacker Feng Hao did not have an independent office, he went straight to Liang Chao's office.
"Hoko, you are here."
When Liang Chao saw Feng Hao's arrival, he was overjoyed and said hello.
Now that he is alone, it is a bit difficult to carry.
The companies they faced were all so powerful, there were even Jinshan, where Lei Jun was in charge, and Qihu, the leader of the red-clothed leader.
This puts more pressure on Liang Chao.
"I have to come, how is the situation now?"
Although the two talked on the phone, Liang Chao had given the general information once, but Feng Hao still needed more precise information.
So Liang Chao explained the countermeasures of each antivirus software company to Feng Hao one by one.
"It's still Qihoo Antivirus, the biggest threat to us. Others are not a big threat, especially Jinshan's practice of changing soup instead of medicine."
Feng Hao heard this and made a simple analysis on this matter.
The target of hackers is Qihoo Antivirus, which is truly free, and it is free forever.
As for Jinshan and Rising, they are not free and have little impact on hackers.
"Yeah, it is said that the red-clothed sect leader has obtained a lot of money by selling the 3721 website, and has a wealth of personal connections, which is a great threat to us."
Liang Chao has not wasted his time in vain in the past few days. He has conducted in-depth research on these rival companies and has a deep understanding.
At this time, he directly said the relevant information of the chairman of Qihoo.
Obviously, he is also very secretive about Qihoo and the Red-clothed Sect Master.
"We need to be **** ourselves. We just need to do our best, firmly grasp the free gimmick, and at the same time improve the user's experience and retention."
"Moreover, we need to speed up and increase investment, and strive for 10 million users this month."
Feng Hao said firmly, and at the same time decided to increase the investment.
The original plan was to spend only 20 million yuan in the first half of the year, but now I am afraid it is far from enough.
"Okay, when are our three new versions going to be launched?"
Knowing that the user acquisition speed needs to be improved, Liang Chao feels that the new version can be launched in advance.
Feng Hao has always asked Liang Chao to develop and iterate several versions in advance, all to improve the user experience.
"Don't worry about it, it's not that time yet!"
Of course, Feng Hao couldn't be in a hurry at this time.
Now Youshang is not a small role, there may be some strange tricks, he has to guard against it.
"Okay, what's the best arrangement now?"
Liang Chao was helpless and asked Feng Hao.
"First, the first is to reassure people. We must not be chaotic inside."
"Secondly, in terms of capital, we will increase investment. We will invest 20 million this month. Now 10 million will be credited to the account, and by the end of March, another 10 million will be credited."
"Thirdly, in terms of publicity, we need to step up our efforts, especially on some portals."
"Fourth, new features will be introduced depending on the situation."
Feng Hao directly said four points and asked Liang Chao to make arrangements.
"Okay, then I'll implement it now."
Liang Chao felt that Feng Hao's solution was feasible, he nodded and decided to arrange it now.
"Okay, then you can arrange it first."
Feng Hao nodded, indicating that there is no problem, let Liang Chao figure it out.
...
When Feng Hao and Liang Chao already had a solution and started to arrange it.
Chaoyang District, Qihoo Company.
At this time, Qihoo Company was still an ordinary small company.
It has just been established for less than a month, and the staff is not complete, but the lineup is luxurious.
The first is the chairman of the board, the leader, who founded 3721 and joined Yahoo China.
The second is the engineering team, with Zibo serving as the main engineer of the antivirus software.
At this time, the red-clothed sect leader was full of ambition and high-spirited.
"Manager Zi, when will the official version of the antivirus software be released?"
Although Qihoo claims to be free forever, the official version has never been launched.
Just launched a primary version, due to the reputation of the red-clothed leader, it still gained a certain number of users.
Therefore, the cardinal is very concerned about the launch of the official software, which is related to a series of subsequent plans.
"Our engineers are already working overtime, and they will be online in three days."
Zibo hesitated for a while, but said a more reasonable time.
three days!
Most of the functions of the antivirus software can definitely be completed after three days, and the details can be iterated later.
"This hacker 361 company is not well-known, and Greentown has actually emerged as a technology company."
The red-clothed hierarch asked in a slightly strange way that he was a little bit incomprehensible that Greentown could produce such a high-tech company.
In 2006, Kyoto was the center of high-tech outbreaks.
More than 50% of the well-known high-tech network companies in China are located in Kyoto, especially in Zhongguancun.
Although Shenzhen, Huadu and Modu are struggling to catch up, they still need time to accumulate.
"Yeah, Greentown actually launched a technology company. I heard that it was founded by college students."
As a senior IT staff, Zibo heard rumors about the hacker 361 antivirus software, which is said to be a project started by college students.
"In any case, we need to fight the backwater. The official software will be launched as soon as possible, and then we will increase our publicity."
The cardinal sold the 3721 website, holding nearly 100 million in funds.
At this time, he was naturally full of information.
