recently, the industry legend Tiger 360 is interested in a stake in a plus technology. In this respect, a plus technology CE o Liu declined to comment. However, an insider told reporters in the south that there has been a lot of capital and a touch, do not rule out the possibility of negotiations with 360. As for the other side of the "gossip" 360, its media director Yeung, interviewed by South reporters, said he had not heard of the matter.





But the interesting thing is that, just after the two sides exposed the news of capital Cooperation, Zhou 祎 sent a Twitter suffix showing "from a mobile phone." On the same day, Liu in a comment on the smart-hand ring Weibo, and @ Zhou.





Zhou 祎 aim on a cell phone?





based on hardware and software with + Internet thinking, in recent years, millet technology has achieved astonishing growth, quickly become the domestic following the BA T (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) after the fourth largest Internet power. Also because of this, the integration into the hardware of the Internet model began to be many traditional internet giants to follow. Taking into account the threshold of the consumer electronics industry from the Internet, the simplest and most straightforward approach is to acquire and share a stake.





For example, Baidu by injecting a fully mobile phone in Shenzhen, the introduction of "Hundred plus mobile phones" into the market. It was also rumored to have 2 billion of Alibaba's shares of technology. Now the turn is 360, the rumors its chairman Zhou 祎 has a look at the thunder of a plus mobile phone.





Although 360 and a plus did not elaborate on this rumor, but also did not deny. "This is by no means groundless, Zhou and Liu have had several times contact." "There are people close to a tech who told reporters in the south that they had seen each other in the activities of the founder of Cheng, the media." Since then, the two sides more high-profile interaction on the network-Liu praised 360 of children's hand ring, Zhou is using a mobile phone to send Weibo.





don't deny there's been talk





A Canadian technology-related people interviewed by reporters in the south, did not deny that there has been a capital cooperation talks with 360. The people familiar with the matter said that in the past two years 3,601 straight in the search for a suitable smartphone partner, with a number of companies have contact. "From the product design, hardware and sales, the current one plus is undoubtedly the fastest jump, and naturally become the most active Zhou negotiations." ”





public data show that a plus technology was founded in the second half of last year, all known as "Shenzhen million Cypress Technology Co., Ltd." (from a plus English OnePlus), the founder of the original Oppo Vice President Liu. Currently only sell a model, priced at 2000 yuan up and down. In this year's launch of the mobile phone brand, regardless of focus or sales, a plus are the industry's highest.





has always had the idea of Zhou into the hardware field. In two years ago launched 360 special machine, but finally the case of the break, Qihoo 360 also launched including children's hand ring, routers and several hardware products. Zhou himself more than once confided in his interest in hardware. At the Forbes China Innovation Summit, for example, Zhou that 1.0 is the P-C Internet, 2.0 is mobile Internet, 3.0 may be the Internet becomes ubiquitous, the future of any hardware device to do two things, the first is to smart it, the second is to connect it to the Internet.





"Who is the word" is the cooperation threshold





However, regardless of the smart hand ring or smart router, although many companies, including Millet, have dabbled, but its fiery degree far less than smartphones. To really quickly cut into the smart hardware field, smartphones are the most direct.





Zhou has said that he had pulled a lot of unreliable small partners to do a mobile phone, and finally ended up with failure, "in the hardware we have done a lot of attempts, but today or insist on down, I think the hardware is a pretty high threshold." "Zhou stressed that the Internet age hardware user experience is critical, this and Liu operation of the concept of a relatively consistent."





"Assuming that 360 and a plus do have a capital partnership, it's critical that the" words matter ". "According to Zhou's style, if the hardware is an important hand for the future development of 360, it will certainly not be satisfied with the simple strategic stakes, but be involved in management and decision-making," said Yang Qun, chief analyst at advisory bodies and national policy. However, according to the South reporters understand the information, a plus currently only want to seek a complementary to their own strategic investors. Insiders said that the first condition of negotiations with investors is to maintain the control of the existing management, and now the production and marketing of two prosperous, money is not the most critical demand.
