Zhou Hongyi - Free Master

Zhou Hongyi a few points are more powerful than ordinary people, one courageous dare to want to do, not afraid of offended peers, Cao Cao's "I am not the world, the world should not take me", in 2006 became the public enemy of the industry Killing rogue software, and even in 2013, at the cell phone maker did not hesitate to uninstall the phone pre-installed software.

The second is to advance the card bit and layout. In 2009, Zhou Hongyi spent a small acquisition of a start-up company, made out of 360 mobile guards, until now the number of users has exceeded 400 million, and now Baidu and Tencent in desperate pursuit of catch-up. In 2009 the acquisition of the window of the world spent a small sum of money, made of 360 browser, made a big breath later scored the second search market share, so Ma Huntang direct miss the window. Zhou Hongyi mobile phone assistant in advance to do the layout, forced Baidu spent 1.9 billion to buy 91 assistants.

The third is free to play, Zhou Hongyi is a free guru. 360 free anti-virus dry get on the ground Rising charge, Jinshan, 360 mobile guards dry get on the network charges Qin. By the end of 2014, Zhou Hongyi out of a free card, play a cell phone free of traffic.

The traffic that thing, north of the rich rich handsome is simply not a thing, but for people who are not too high income in the 23.4 line city, it is simply a big thing. In order to save the traffic fee, 360 portable wifi so a low-tech gadgets can sell tens of millions, also forced them to find a free wifi. The end of last year, Zhou Hongyi found another wifi pain point, 360 mobile assistant fanfare, opened the free flow area, download software, games free flow of fees, first with the cooperation of Jiangsu Telecom, then the Hubei Unicom, the third is Beijing Mobile, seeing Like our party to open up a base as a large piece. According to one of my 360 internal informants, the Spring Festival holiday 360 mobile phone assistants use more than 10 million mobile phone users using a free download service, saving a total of 253500G traffic, save 25M traffic per person, saving about 7 dollars, the total cost savings Total 70 million yuan.

According to the pull, free traffic aroused Melaleuca waves, Robin Li has been furious, Baidu Baidu BD team to spread the stalls across the country to talk about the flow of cooperation. And then pull, Alibaba plans to come up with a budget of 50 billion Ali Ali free flow of products. Again and again, 360 operators have talked about another big province to avoid traffic, once burst, the world will be all scared.

But Zhou Hongyi play for free so hey, but what are some weaknesses he knows?

First, the lack of big data. Baidu's big data played during the Spring Festival vividly, on the news network for a few days, forcing 360 browser offline grab data out of Dongguan thing, the result also scolded, was forced to delete microblogging. Saying that Baidu people early to play big data is good? Baidu index, Baidu boiling point is a typical big data, not to mention a map of the LBS, Baidu play big data that is playing Hi, give yourself a little Tim High-tech image.

Second, the lack of super APP. WeChat is a super APP, ship's gunnery, Baidu and 360. Regardless of the number of users in the hands of billions of APP, at best, are just shotgun. A small red envelope, let all Internet companies have seen the power of WeChat, even holding a telescope can not see competitors Ma also have to say this is a Pearl Harbor attack. However, Alibaba is not the United States, Tencent nor Japan, Tencent paid to dry down Ali in 2014, the muzzle will be aligned with the enemy 360 and allies Baidu.

Third, lack of money or lack of money. 360 is optimistic about the industry again is the next BAT, the reality is that the income difference between 360 and BAT is not the slightest. In the first quarter of 2013, Tencent reported a revenue of 7.4 billion yuan, more than three times the 360 ​​billion yuan of its annual revenue of 2 billion yuan in 2012. Baidu's revenue in the first quarter of 2013 was 6 billion yuan, three times that of 360. According to 360 earnings report, by the third quarter of 2013, Zhou Hongyi cash and equivalent only about 1 billion US dollars. Mobile Internet competition has greatly raised the purchase price of a mass user company, you Zhou Hongyi drive up the price of 91 assistant to 1.9 billion, others will not lift your purchase price of Zhou Hongyi it?

Big data based on LBS does not mean that there is a need, and the accumulation of technology and brand; Super APP is not to say that there is a need for team and luck; As for money, that is not to say there is, and money may not be able Buy good goods.

Coupled with Zhou Hongyi has always been more attractive in the acquisition, always like to find out a small company to spend money to do major events, we all kill the red eye era, like 360 ​​mobile guards, 360 browser less and less such acquisitions, Three weakness could not hold, Zhou Hongyi addition to free will play more?
