360 Hardware investment Logic: putting online safety genes

We also invited the Shenzhen Open Day, Qihoo 360 senior investment manager Wei, for us to share the next 360 hardware investment logic.

1 360 hardware has only one core logic: the safety of the gene on the line, landed in the offline life scene. In 360 eyes, the earth is too dangerous ...

2 has been on the line of products, child guards, routers, anti-loss TV is based on such logic, security cameras are in the beta, will soon be launched, but also aimed at the safety of the person security. If have to do 360 security anti-theft door, can also contact cooperation.

3 Internet companies do hardware really very pit dad, especially starting 360 in the hardware field of inexperience. For example, 360 children hand ring hair Thousands of, or stopped, because the indoor positioning is not good, and then added a lot of features, recently ready to send.

Well, these holes can be exported to other products, and the pace of subsequent products may be faster. It is impossible for us to do very well in technology and rely more on our partners. On hardware products, still want to follow this road.

4) 360 hardware investment is mainly concentrated in upstream manufacturers, ODM, OEM, chip manufacturers and so on, after the formation of eco-circle, then enrich the product line, or make a product of their own, do not exclude the investment of the same products.

In fact, has invested a lot, but did not announce it, this needs to match the rhythm of the product. For example, we have also invested in ODM vendors, but not yet disclosed. Other technologies and products from the United States, Taiwan and Israel are also in contact.

5 Before the end of the year will set up a fund to 360 as the main body, from the investment point of view to pay more attention to some smart hardware, will be more than now weaken the impression of 360, the initial size of about 100 million U.S. dollars.
