Zhou old? He just didn't evolve.

Zhou before the 2014 China Internet Security Conference to continue his "Pan-security" theory, and constantly emphasize "everything interconnected" intelligent hardware era, security challenges unprecedented. Alas, the industry does not want to echo the old week and pay attention to security issues, why?

Not security problems, but security issues will not be in the mobile Internet or the era of networking platform, not to build the ecology, even the future security software can not be a single product, perhaps the standard operating system, may become based on the mobile Internet server level rather than the client level of basic services.

For that, the headline brother just wanted to say that Qihoo 360 wants to be a safe business for government and business. But this to B Internet security business, can no longer be engaged in the demand-oriented product services, enhance the user experience, to do the flow platform so simple, it may even involve national security and financial security and even physical security, and other major and difficult issues, Qihoo 360 If bets on this "road of Thorns", its future development is likely to "tiger".

Even more deplorable is that, in the name of security, Zhou to draw a sword kill, but found no opponent. Ma was busy with how to get micro-letters to "connect everything" to the unification cause, and Robin Li was running on the endless road of "search as service" and "smart business"; Lei is weaving a personal life intelligent "inception space", and is regarded as "treason" fu, also put down the "strange Tiger", rode on the "Cheetah", Began the internationalization of the march.

These once "defeated" in the hands of Zhou opponents, in the "3Q war" after all consciously and unconsciously to the old weeks to build a "PC siege", let old weeks feel all the enemy, gather the main force constantly left and right conquest, and "anti-360 coalition" is everywhere to guard for attack, with the conspiracy to spend Zhou 360 Army's spirit.

At the same time, Zhou's opponents are not idle. For example, lei in the "failure" of continuous learning, reflection and metamorphosis, and finally become the "air on the fly on the pig"; for example, Fu, in the 360 Rise of the road at the same time constantly update their "methodology", cultivate the ability to judge the pattern, and finally "serf turn over the local owners"; By reorganizing the corporate structure and creating an open platform, it has finally created a micro-credit killer and transformed it from a product manager to an entrepreneur who is adept at thinking about business ecology and strategic layout. The old week, however, is also paranoid about being a good product manager and staying in the "PC Internet experience" of the past.

To be fair, the headline brother thinks Zhou is really a good person to do the product. Fu away, Zhou 360 security guards and 360 security browser products such as the function of the set and layout of ideas we all see, although there are "rogue" industry criticism, but the general public on 360 products "do not feel uncomfortable" attitude, has proved the unique Zhou. In recent years, for example, Qihoo 360 launched the "Child Safety bracelet" is actually a very good product creativity, but by the ecological more perfect price more lethal millet bracelet cover the limelight.

But Zhou is really hard to call strategy guru. In fact, although Zhou is the internet big guy, but it still has not really made a far-sighted and correct decision: 3721 difficult to say success, Yahoo's experience is not good, the main attack Qihoo search failed, and the most successful 360 security guards, whether from product creation or the construction of the business model, mainly due to Fu, And Zhou only on this basis to play a rich and perfect mode.

As Fu said, 360 of the product is really successful, but more importantly, 360 of the search engine and social tools, in the PC Internet age to explore the security software and browser of the two important traffic platform, and explore a new business model. Although the success of 360 is full of contingency, for example, Baidu, Tencent does not pay attention to antivirus, or even browser, gave Zhou 祎 rely on the opportunity to rise 360, but this successful model behind the common business ideas and logic, can be through research and summary to constantly improve their judgment ability and decision-making thinking.

Over the years, the headlines have not seen the Zhou in the business thinking and methodology of the continuous improvement and evolution of the shadow. Whether it is smart phones, routers, mobile search and even child safety bracelet, Zhou every move or have a great idea of the problem, or thinking about the model is not deep enough, or by competitors products and play buried, and missed the mobile Internet competition opportunities.

Of course, Zhou does not have a keen eye for business change, for example, he has also suggested that the future development of mobile interconnection is O2O, IoT and large data security. But Zhou has never talked about any more specific and in-depth thinking and ideas about business models, and it is extremely rare to say from what points to new opportunities and new markets. Compared with Ma's every speech, Yanzhiyouwu had to be skeptical of Zhou's 祎 strategic thinking skills.

The headline elder brother thinks, for an enterprise leader, the management and the work "The operation" is only the enterprise leads to the Success Foundation, but the vision and the pattern "the way" only then decides the enterprise destiny. A more important reason is that Zhou's "methodology" is no longer suitable for new competition, and the rules of the game have changed. In the PC era, controlling the inlet flow is everything, Zhou 祎 can put the opponent to death, but in the mobile era, the import flow is still important, but cooperation and ecology is the general trend, Qihoo 360 how to build relationships with various industries, how to build their own mobile interconnected ecology, will likely be the test of Zhou 祎 ability and wisdom of the last moment.

Zhou is not old, in addition to temper and practice is not so overbearing, Zhou is still good at building products rather than for business planning layout of the "Internet fighter", he just did not evolve into a real entrepreneur.
