Lei June and Zhou Hongyi: doomed not to be friends

Doomed not to be friends

"Predecessors have millet, we have rifles." Zhou Hongyi picked up "AK47", once again to Lei June issued a challenge manifesto. As we all know, both of them come from the Jing Chu land in Hubei. But really in line with the "Sky nine birds, the ground Hubei guys" demeanor, but only from an early age in Henan grew up Zhou Hongyi, and in Hubei spent the first more than 20 years of Lei June, its style is ingenuity, maneuvers.

Lei June was born in December 1969, one year older than Zhou 祎, and he joined the Jinshan software after graduating from Wu University in 92. Lei June, both gifted and diligent, soon gained prominence in the prestigious village of Zhongguancun, where it was a super idol. And Zhou Hongyi is in the west after finishing postgraduate, in 1995 came to founder Group, Lei June at this time has been your general manager Jinshan.

Zhou Hongyi for this career success of the fellow is very envy and admiration. Because the two wives in Fangzheng is a good colleague, Zhou Hongyi through this layer of relations at the dinner and Lei June formal acquaintance. In the following days, "Xiao Zhou" and "Brother Lei" very happy to play together. But soon, Zhou Hongyi felt less happy, because he realized that the "Big Brother Thunder" is actually "proud and difficult to approach." Once, Zhou Hongyi find Lei June to talk about their founder Flying software, lei June evaluation as "toilet embroidery", no meaning.

Since then, although still friends, the distance between the two people are more and more distant. As for the reason, in addition to the general manager and the difference between the programmer identity, small inside feel a different personality is more critical. Young famous Lei June, there is the pride and conceit of success in fact very normal, but Zhou Hongyi but the heart is sensitive and strong, this even made him early to leave the founder to start. As for leaving founder? Allegedly with Zhou 祎 temper is too hot, he even and colleagues directly in the office.

In Zhou 祎 build 3721, war Baidu, Dou Yahoo, founder 360 and successful Revenge of that period of passion years, Lei June as CEO led Jinshan and Microsoft contend, in 2007 after the successful listing of the return incarnation angel investors. It can be said that the two people walk the trajectory of the difference between the ground, it seems that the development of the next will not have intersection. But the reversal soon took place, and they eventually turned from friends to foes.

A secret in the melee

360 turned out, not only let Zhou Hongyi personally done "Yahoo Assistant", the concept of its free anti-virus also severely hit the Jinshan and other established companies market share. In this era of rapid transformation of the stage, the original is slightly senility resonant jinshan so deep dilemma. Beg Baijun had to invite Lei June Mountain, in order to lead Jinshan out of crisis.

March 2010, Jinshan launched Jinshan Guardian, trying to counterattack to 360 security guards; May 21, to further combat opponents of the 360 announced that the security guards and Jinshan Network Shield "incompatible"; 4 days later, Zhou 祎 "suddenly" bursts 42 micro-Bo revealed the enmity with Jinshan, both sides of the battle on this outbreak. At the end of May, Jinshan on the micro-blog incident indicted Zhou Hongyi, in addition to the request for public apology also claim 12 million, this matter is known as "micro Bo first case."

July, lei June officially returned. November, Jinshan announced the full free poison PA, and can be integrated with cattle antivirus. December 31, Jinshan held a conference, exposing 360 of users to steal the privacy of the issue, 360 said that this is jinshan in the rumors, the battle between the two increasingly white-hot. Lei June in the heavy Palm Jinshan, facing the small fellow, aggressive, ruthless.

In that extraordinary 2010 years, Zhou Hongyi in addition to lead 360 and Jinshan and other traditional security companies scramble for the market, also with Tencent broke out of the famous "3Q War", and Fu Sheng and can be cattle "kill", the result is one at a time Jinshan (Lei June), Tencent, can be cattle (Fu Sheng) three big opponents forced together.

In addition to the cattle and Tencent two were Zhou Hongyi pushed to the side of the Allies, Lei June in the investment layout for many years, a yy, thunder, UC, Fank and many other companies constitute the Lei Jiajun also take shape. At the same time, his two pioneering projects millet mobile phone also gradually surfaced. The strength of the two sides, although still do not see too big gap, even on the surface of the Zhou Hongyi momentum to better, but the LEI June disseminated seeds will soon sprout into a forest.

Mobile phone battle

2011 is the year lei June from software workers to Internet heroes. In this year, the millet mobile phone official debut, he served as Jinshan chairman, Cheetah also officially into the army. Complete the gorgeous turn of the lei June, experienced more than the glory of Zhongguancun idol more beautiful.

2011 is also a year for Zhou Hongyi to peak. Although the previous battles of the 360 obvious did not take advantage of, but the name of the head actually played louder. Security guards, antivirus, browser three-pronged, 360 of users have achieved massive growth. In March of this year, 360 completed the listing on the Nasdaq.

In the later period, the "私怨" between the two men continued to escalate. August, 360 in the "micro-point perjury case" in the losing, to Jinshan staff Li Tiejun apology and compensation. September, 360 continue to the Jinshan side of the lawsuit, prosecution Fu Sheng suspected of commercial secret theft, Fu Sheng himself subsequently launched a lawsuit.

Into the 2012, 360 of the smartphone program gradually surfaced. Because of "360 special machine" model and millet similar, another life-and-death battle broke out. June 29, a set of fire scene, wounded baby pictures smear 360 mobile phone pictures spread widely on the internet, the suspected rice noodle on 360 aspects of the previous attack retaliation. Zhou Hongyi immediately forwarded and condemned, Lei June is denied that millet employees or the Navy. Zhou 祎, to Lei June put forward "about you meet to talk about, next Monday 10 o'clock in the morning Chaoyang Park." Lei June again, and said, "What is he capable of interviewing me?" Look at yourself too much. "

Zhou Hongyi, who seems to have won the Battle of the mouth, has lost Huawei, which has previously wanted to work with 360, and 360 of those who have lost hardware support can only find allies. Although Alcatel, Amoi, Heiljun took the olive branch, but the limited strength they did not allow the "360 special machine" started. At the same time, lei June and Millet mobile phones are on the fast lane more and more farther.

Eventually, Zhou Hongyi had to accept the "special machine" High-profile debut but the reality of the dismal ending. After collecting "AK47", he seems to be trying to repair his relationship with Lei June. At the beginning of 2013, two people met in CCTV activities, and then together tea and chat. Then a picture of a two-person secret conversation went crazy on the Internet. Some people say, this is Zhou 祎 instruct others secretly photographed. But small inside disagree, if the intentional candid camera, that must highlight Zhou 祎 and "depressed" lei June Ah, but that picture is not the other side, certainly is a "pig teammate" for.

AK47 would be back

In the ensuing time, the two men who shook hands had no record of confrontation. But Zhou Hongyi, who has a mobile phone dream, is not likely to concede defeat. In 2014, lei June and Mingzhu's "1 billion bet" several times became a hot topic. And Zhou Hongyi this side, perhaps see "English teachers to do mobile phone" situation, he stepped up with the "Southern Plant" contact. From the old acquaintance Huawei, to the "enemy of Enemies" of the charm, and then finally and cool to come together.

Because it was "two revolutions," Zhou Hongyi learned the lesson of the year. Although still a high profile, but only talk about their own no longer easy to comment on the specific manufacturer. Even if you want to stall lei June, he also chose to learn by going to Gree, and "Dong Aunt" set the way. Even the "Thunder Week" two people at the meeting of the Asian forces at the meeting to stand a shadow.

360 with the cool joint venture management team is now on the scene, "code AK47" This microblog has also been reactivated. In a propaganda picture about 360 OS, "This may be more suitable than MIUI for millet OS" provocative means obvious. And Zhou Hongyi I also claimed that "the new mobile phone brand temporarily confidential, the predecessor has millet, we have rifles, so codenamed AK47".

A new duel between Lei June and Zhou Hongyi is about to come in 2015.

The dividing line is not a day cast

Since small inside think Lei June and Zhou Hongyi between the enmity, originates in two people in character difference. In the end, we will talk about how the two people evolved to the "Heaven and Earth Duel" because of their different personalities.

Born in the Cadre family lei June, since childhood is "Miyoshi", he is also good at sports and fascinated by Weiqi. Visible, Lei June's young fame, ingenuity, and the development of the environment and experience is closely related. And more than 10 years of Jinshan second-in-command, let him become more calm and smooth, "friends become a lot of" is from the experience.

Combined with the above many elements, it formed that led Millet "single point breakthrough, full bloom" of the Lei June, the "broad investment, at leisure to layout" lei June.

Unlike Lei June, Zhou Hongyi's parents are surveyors. So he grew away from his hometown, and his parents also gathered less and more. Naturally lively, but in a certain degree lack of warmth of the family, which led to the birth of the kindergarten from the university to participate in the work of the aggressive Zhou Hongyi. Aggression is also reflected in his greatest hobby of shooting. Those who experience the cold and warm in the fight, let him not casually believe anyone.

So Zhou 祎 sensitive and aggressive. From the 3721 dispute with Baidu, CNNIC, to the dispute with Yahoo and revenge, and then to the 360 period of countless disputes, the title of the "Holy Warrior" seems to belong to him.

The difference between personality and man, step by step to create the "Lei Zhou" today's dividing line, but also cast the Lei June and 360 of the two major internet power.

Look at "Thunder Week" from another perspective.

Let's look at the difference between Lei June and Zhou Hongyi from the perspective of the "third party" in the circle.

Speaking of the Internet from Hubei, except Lei June, Zhou Hongyi, Chen a boat can be regarded as the third figure. For his college classmate Lei June, Chen Yizhou said that no one in the industry to work harder than lei June, "our industry average effort may be only half of his"; for his old acquaintance Zhou Hongyi, Chen Yizhou that "he must be a successful entrepreneur, 360 will not easily fail, as long as he does not provoke a lot of people on the line."

It is understood that Chen Yizhou originally in Wu Physics department, later transferred to the computer department, and Lei June became a classmate. The two men had been arguing in Lei June's car for an afternoon before Chinaren was founded. Lei June says your project is too far away from the money, and Chen Yizhou says it has a future. Later, Chinaren really met the end of no money. Visible, lei June those "toilet embroidery" is often really the center of the key, but some people are too sensitive.

Another one who is familiar with Reizhou is Zhangxiaolong. Zhangxiaolong and Lei June at the same time in Wuhan to study, a Wu, although not met but two star code farmers also know each other's name. In 1998, Lei June to buy Foxmail, then contacted Zhangxiaolong. Two yards of rural dialogue, from "catching Worms" began, after the "Greetings", lei June Blunt proposed to buy 150,000 of the price, talks about the two sides reached a verbal agreement. Later, because the Jinshan technical team feel OK, the deal eventually fell through, and Foxmail later to 12 million sold to the broad interconnection.

Also in 1998, Zhangxiaolong also met Zhou Hongyi. Zhou Hongyi was introduced to the south to visit the "successful but Down" star programmer. Because there are movies this hobby, or heroes cherish heroes, two people are hit. Since then, Zhou 祎 occasionally to Guangzhou, two people will go to buy pirated discs.

In the micro-letter of the rapid rise of the period of time, including Lei June, Zhou Hongyi, including many people think that Zhangxiaolong is just the success of the establishment of QQ users on the basis. In this respect, Zhangxiaolong at a dinner once so with Zhou Hongyi said, "You do not know, the most want to kill micro-letter is not rice chat, but mobile phone QQ."

The story is finished, I do not know if you have seen the doorway. Small summary as follows: Lei June arrogant chic, ingenuity, but difficult to Shenzhen: and Zhou Hongyi is sensitive and forthright, love to provoke right and wrong, but friends true.

2015, this "Heaven and Earth Duel" between Lei June and Zhou Hongyi will also write a new chapter, who wins the negative actually already is not the key. Since both Mr Gates and Steve Jobs can rival each other and create two legendary companies, why is it impossible in China?
