Zhou 祎 first talk about buying Sogou: This company does not name Zhang

Wen/Shongqing September 23, China Internet Security Conference held a gap, Qihoo 360 chairman Zhou received the media interview, for the first time talked about his knowledge of the acquisition of Sogou negotiations some insider. After listening to the old Ji, I feel that this version of Zhou with the previous online spread of the other version is very different. It seems that even the same thing, the parties based on their own interests, said almost completely different, is really a reality version of the "Rashomon door"! (The following is the content of the old Ji according to Zhou 祎 live recording, Zhou I confirmed that the odd Tiger 360 Chairman Zhou: As far as I know, this sogou has been in with Baidu, Tencent, 360 of the three of us in the talk (Old Ji explained: this year before the Alibaba just quit from the Sogou, So bat three big giants in less Ali), we are gossip hero, finally we voluntarily gave up the acquisition. Why do we give up? Mainly based on three points: first, the road is different from the conspiracy. I particularly want to change the pattern of the search market, break Baidu a single big situation, so I am willing to issue shares through the way, so that Zhang Chaoyang and Sohu become 360 of the major shareholders (Old Ji explained: The acquisition of Sohu has been Sogou is the absolute holding of large shareholders, and Zhang is Sohu's major shareholder). Before this, Sohu search has been done for ten years, also so little market share, no impact on Baidu. and Wang Xiaoquan more value is their own Sogou company control, he has been looking for a big company to hedge, if Sogou has two major shareholders, his right to speak is even greater. If we 360 acquired the Sogou, but is the major shareholder from Sohu replaced by 360, changed a major shareholder, not to Ogawa goal. Everyone's sense of the pattern is not the same, for Ogawa, overturn Baidu is not his primary goal. Second, there are conflicting ideas. We in the process of talking to Sogou, feel Sogou and Baidu in the search on the difference is not big, Baidu a large part of the income from the medical industry, Sogou's absolute flow is much smaller than Baidu, but it comes from the medical industry's income ratio is higher than Baidu! We know that 360 do not do medical advertising, if the acquisition back after the Sogou continue to do medical care, is to hit their own face. If the purchase after the dog to give up the medical industry, Sogou most of the income is gone, Ogawa more insecure. Third, fear of team problems. The acquisition of the process, in addition to Baidu, Tencent, 3,603 outside, has been a number of "invisible people" to participate, they released a lot of wind, what out of 200 million dollars let Ogawa pull away team Ah, what except the CEO of any position can give Ogawa ah. I talked with Zhang Chaoyang for a long time, began to think that the Sogou surname Chang, and later found that it is not so. Acquisition key or recipient, what the market share is false, if I promised old Zhang expected price (old Ji explained: Zhou feel, the value of the dog in the 253 billion U.S. dollars), this thing can also be made, but this team will collapse. I bought a dog for 2.5 billion dollars, maybe someone took one-tenth of the priceThe team bought it away. I can also limit the terms and even exit (the acquisition), Lao Zhang (Charles Chang) became the victim. In the 3Q War, Lao Zhang survived me, I can't do such a thing. Finally, Baidu received 91 out of the (buy Sogou), we also quit, Tencent got a good price, before I always think Tencent how to get 3 billion U.S. dollars, sogou how much more expensive than 91? No Sogou, 360 of the search as can be done, I have been looking at the data, now active use of our search engine ratio has been more than 20%. Search Light by channel is not good, the channel is equivalent to trial, the key or trial after the user experience. We always do not do the website Alliance, is to value the user active search proportion. You find many small sites, put some ads and hot words, through the alliance to bring false market share is unreliable. Sogou used to have a large part of the search flow by Sogou browser to bring, you see the analysis of the report, Sogou browser market share has recently been declining, its search market share how overnight also rose by two percentage points? This Mid-Autumn Festival we and the dog outbreak of saliva war, before Sogou Input method bundle installed Sogou browser, our 360 security guards have been prompted, Sogou also did not say what, how this Wang Xiaoquan jumped out, perhaps he needs to "cast"? For this acquisition is not, I was quite calm, but also bless the old Zhang, we PR also advised me to like the big company so calm, the results do not know from where a large pile of people to me spray water. I was a dick Silk, others to me spray water, I will spray back!
