Fang zhe looked at President Zhou and didn''t lose his appetite. He directly explained: "since you already know that Tencent can''t give up, you should make preparations earlier. Since Tencent wants to make security software, what else can he do? It''s like following your 360. As long as you can collect enough evidence, you can at least stand at the commanding height of morality.
You 360 have been doing security for such a long time. Can''t Tencent find any loopholes in the direction of privacy? Tencent forces users to install QQ doctors and so on. As long as you are fully prepared and play on time, even if you can''t completely stop Tencent from entering the field of Internet security, at least it can ensure that you 360 have the upper hand! "
Fang zhe said these words, to put it bluntly, is to let 360 find the black material of Tencent and QQ in advance, prepare for response, and then attack quickly at the right time.
One of the great reasons why 360 failed in the previous life is that 360 dragged on too long and too hard. The battle with Tencent lasted from the Spring Festival to the end of the year, and it was completely 360''s passive response. Tencent further resisted him. If Zhou Zong 360 could make up his mind at the earliest, he would fight with Tencent fiercely. I''m afraid Tencent''s QQ housekeeper would not have a chance to rise!
The wave of public opinion offensive launched by Fang Zhe and Huizhong with the help of investment YY can be regarded as a precedent. If Tencent rushed to fight at that time, it will be led by Huizhong step by step and stand on the opposite of public opinion.
Public relations and public opinion war is one of the most typical ways of competition in commercial competition. In most cases, the initiator tries to suppress the competitor by finding the loopholes and black information of the competitor, disclosing the information on the Internet and the media and guiding public opinion.
Legal public relations and public opinion wars are almost common. In previous lives, whether it is the privacy disclosure crisis of foreign Facebook several times, or domestic companies large and small suddenly become the focus of public criticism at a certain time, they can not escape the shadow of conspiracy planning or fuelling the flames of competitors. Including many stars, celebrities and even some slightly famous anchors on live broadcasting platforms, they may be ruined by competitors in this way.
As the saying goes, a fly does not bite a seamless egg. The reason why a legal public relations public opinion war is legal is that there are loopholes or black materials in the competitors themselves. However, some practices of slandering competitors by deliberately smearing and counterfeiting black materials are illegal and unfair competition. This way is common in the smoky entertainment circle, For a big company like 360 or Huizhong, it is absolutely impossible to use this dirty means!
As a man over the age of 40, President Zhou naturally understands that Fang zhe wants 360 and Tencent to prepare for a public relations and public opinion battle. He also knows that Fang zhe asked him to do so because of his own wechat development interests. However, he can''t do as Fang zhe said.
This is not that Zhou Zong and 360 are afraid to offend Fang Zhe, but because 360 has to do so. Tencent''s involvement in the field of Internet security means that the relationship between 360 and Tencent will not die and fight hard to determine the outcome. Whether President Zhou or President Ma will never give up.
If Zhou Zong 360 doesn''t fight now, I''m afraid 360 can only fight desperately when Tencent does fight in the future. After all, there is still a big gap between 360 and Tencent. Fang Zhe, this is Yang Mou, which can''t be rejected by Zhou Zong 360!
"President Fang, even so, we 360, I''m afraid it''s hard to win!" President Zhou pretended to smile bitterly. He said this just to hear whether Huizhong would make a move. If it''s just 360, President Zhou must think about it again.
Fang zhe patted him on the shoulder and said, "you should know why I came to you. We Huizhong want to develop wechat. Tencent can never sit idly by. At that time, whether we Huizhong or YY and other companies associated with us will not sit idly by.
How many companies have Tencent offended in China? I think President Zhou should have more in mind than me. These companies still bother you to contact secretly. In the past, everyone dared to be angry with Tencent. This time, you 360 and we gathered together to take the lead. I don''t believe that so many companies jointly target Tencent. President Ma''s skin is really thicker than the wall? "
According to Fang Zhe, President Zhou has a bottom in his mind. The word bath is not a casual word. It represents the strength and influence of the four companies. Although Huizhong is a rising star, its influence abroad is by no means comparable to that of the three bat companies in front. If Huizhong can affect the attitude of overseas media or wall street capital market towards Tencent, I''m afraid we can only know how much volatility Tencent''s share price listed in Hong Kong will have after this really happens.
Although Hong Kong is close to the mainland, due to differences in system, financial market and other aspects, Hong Kong''s stock market basically follows the overseas stock markets such as the United States and Europe. If the four major rating agencies downgrade the credit rating of a company, Wall Street analysts will call the company''s stock "sell" or something, I''m afraid the stock of this company has only fallen by 10%. Thank God!
Fang Zhe and President Zhou spent more than an hour talking about the detailed plan. Since this is a battle against a behemoth such as Tencent, the first one must be confidentiality. If the news is leaked in advance and known by Tencent, as long as Tencent has the ability to deal with it, the probability of victory and outcome of this battle must be reduced by at least two-thirds.
In addition, they both believe that since Tencent wants to fight more, the field of battle can not be limited to the field of Internet security, because only one field of Internet Security and 360 can''t completely defeat Tencent. Therefore, Fang zhe also cares about the other two Ali and Baidu in bath, and plans to try to pull them onto the ship.
In the previous life, google stood on Tencent''s side because it hated 360. This time, Huizhong and Fang zhe were involved. Coupled with the "extremely close" cooperative relationship between Baidu and Huizhong, I believe it''s not difficult to pull Baidu over. As for Ali, ah, Fang zhe feels that he doesn''t have to contact Arima, At that time, as long as there is a war, Ali and President Ma must be on the side of Huizhong.
The relationship between President Ma of Alibaba and Tencent is notoriously poor. The battles between the two companies have lasted for more than a decade. After Baidu fell behind, the whole domestic Internet industry has become a battlefield for Tencent and Alibaba. Domestic companies such as JD and Taobao compete with meituan, didi and Uber, ofo and worship, To put it bluntly, it''s just the proxy war between Tencent and Ali!
"Let''s put your search and browser aside first, and wait until we decide with Tencent!" Fang Zhe and President Zhou explained before they parted.
President Zhou nodded. He understood that Fang zhe meant that he didn''t want 360 and Baidu to make a stiff relationship now. If 360 announced to do search and browser now, I''m afraid Baidu would directly stand on Tencent''s side.
"Well, we don''t need to meet or contact during this period of time to avoid being seen by interested people. You wait for me to send you a signal. After the new version of QQ is officially updated, we will officially start a war with Tencent!" Fang zhe finally told President Zhou.
