Many years later, Zhou Hongyi still clearly remember that summer day in 1988.
That day, full of justice, he took his nunchucks and went to teach a 14-year-old a lesson.
This kid is Xi'an Jiaotong University Junior Class students, he committed a "big crime", but only to the old township to eat. Zhou Hongyi older than the other side, and have weapons, so although it is in the other side of the dormitory away from home, he still bullied the other side a meal. In Zhou Hongyi's view, this is to do justice.
But the kid is not to be messed with. In a few days, he called a group of people, ran to Zhou Hongyi dormitory, beat Zhou to the head, waist hanging color, and apologized and begged for mercy. Things do not end here. After a period of time, Zhou Hongyi and find someone to beat back. This time the other party quit, used the world's best trick - report to the teacher. So Zhou Hongyi was almost expelled from Xi'an Jiaotong University, and finally, with the help of the class teacher, only to reduce to "the whole department notification of criticism". --This battle, compared with Zhou Hongyi's later series of battles, is too small to be small, but it is full of metaphors for the rest of Zhou Hongyi's life. His character and fate will be repeated countless times like that summer of 1988. Liu Lian's pen and CNNIC's hand "Zhou Hongyi is ruthless enough, righteous enough, smart enough, rich enough, he is the most personalized character I've ever seen in the network industry." This is Zhou Hongyi and Liu Lian or good friends, Liu Lian's evaluation of him.
Liu Ren is the end of the nineties and the beginning of the new century IT circle of celebrities, known as "China's first IT reporter". Zhou Hongyi at that time, Liu Lian is indeed very righteous.
According to the record of Liu Ren on the Matador blog: when he founded the Matador website (DoNews), there were not enough servers, and Zhou Hongyi's 3721 gave him two directly. Later Zhou Hongyi to Yahoo China, after its time and time again agreed, Matador time and again to move the server into the Yahoo China server room - that was one of the best server room in China at that time. Zhou Hongyi on Liu Rigor's good, but also reflected in all aspects.
He himself like audio, carefully selected a set of expensive audio, to Liu Lian; Liu Lian in the "Knowledge Economy" for the job, Zhou Hongyi strong support, in the magazine invested in a lot of advertising; Liu Lian what needs Zhou Hongyi to help, a phone call will be able to get him out of the appointment; Liu Lian organization of the Matador website annual meeting, Zhou Hongyi always actively support the scene.
And the reason why he was so nice to Liu Lian, besides the fact that they were friends and righteous, there was also the idea of returning the favor.
Zhou Hongyi do 3721, had experienced a vicious battle, and the object of the battle is the official background of the CNNIC (China Internet Network Information Center). The right and wrong of this war, we have been very difficult to judge, but at that time, Liu Lian's article helped Zhou Hongyi. 2001, 3721 and CNNIC battle is in full swing, Zhou Hongyi is trapped in a predicament, the future of the confusion. Liu Ren in the "Knowledge Economy" published "CNNIC's hand" article, the CNNIC depicted very bad, and Zhou Hongyi is portrayed as a fear of authority of the lone hero. Liu Lian "IT first reporter" name is not for nothing, the article was written very exciting, and because Liu Lian was very influential in the Internet circle, the article was widely circulated, known as a heavy bomb, so that the balance of public opinion to Zhou Hongyi's side of the big tilt. Until many years later, Zhou Hongyi in the "subversive: Zhou Hongyi autobiography", but also specifically mentioned this point. Later, when 3721 gradually developed into a "rogue software", Zhou Hongyi in the circle of public opinion has become a "target", Liu Lian's good friend and partner Keso asked him: "right and wrong and friends, which is more important? " Liu Rigor replied: "friends." Keso asked a second question: "Zhou Hongyi is your friend, or partner?" Liu Ruan said, "Friend." (See "Liu Ruan return after the hijacking", originally published in the "Southern People Weekly", by Ma Li Lingshan) and IT reporter Zhang Miyue had also asked Zhou Hongyi a few questions:
What is your most cherished possession? Zhou Hongyi: Friendship What is your favorite quality in a male?
Zhou Hongyi: Real and righteous. What characteristics do you value most in a friend? Zhou Hongyi: Loyalty
(See "See how Zhou Hongyi is fast and furious", originally posted on Matador.com by Zhang Rui)
Zhou Hongyi most cherished friendship, most valued the loyalty of his friends, and himself most righteous. And Liu Lian in Zhou Hongyi bad reputation, still think Zhou Hongyi is his friend. These two people's friendship, really enviable. But a few years later, Zhou Hongyi's Qihoo reported Liu Lian "extortion", after the court found guilty, Liu Lian was sentenced to three years in prison. According to a report by Wang Hongyu, a reporter from the Legal Evening News:
In July 2008, Qihoo realized that a large number of negative articles about 360 as well as Zhou Hongyi appeared on the Internet, resulting in 5 million fewer hits for Qihoo.
In Qihoo's senior attention, Qihoo locked the publisher is Liu Lian's men, and then negotiate with each other, hoping to delete the post, Liu Lian dismissed 300,000 deletion fee of the price, and ultimately haggled to 230,000 yuan.
Qihoo paid two payments after the police on September 24, and on October 12, another appointment with Liu Lian to pay the remaining 80,000 yuan.
Liu Lian and other three people gladly went to the appointment, in Beijing Century City near a teahouse by the Xicheng District Yuetan police station police arrested on the spot.
In the Xicheng District People's Court hearing, the public prosecutor claimed that Liu Lian instructed his subordinates to publish negative articles, and then threatened to ask for deletion fees. While Liu Rigor argued that the article is a normal report, and Qihoo reached a "package of public relations agreement", rather than the deletion fee, and Qihoo's general manager Qi Xiangdong asked for a private transaction to avoid tax reasons, refused to sign a written contract.
After the trial, Qihoo was pushed into the limelight, and was accused by some peers of being "too ruthless and malicious".
Qi Xiangdong cried out to reporters, saying that the main thing is really can't stand this blackmail tactics to blackmail with negative news, "we really can't stand it before we strike."
On December 18, 2009, the Xicheng Court formally pronounced the verdict, Liu Tuan was sentenced to three years in prison for extortion.
Before the incident in 2008, Liu Rigor had written on his blog, "for friends who stick knives in the two ribs, but also must stick knives in the two ribs of friends." I don't know after being behind bars, he remembered and Zhou Hongyi once friendship of those good years, what is the feeling. 2012, Liu Ren was released from prison a year later, accepted the "Southern People Weekly" interview, according to the reporter Ma Li Lingshan reported:
More than a year, Zhou Hongyi has not stopped trustees to bring word to Liu Rigor, test "there is no possibility of cooperation". Chen Nian, president of Vancl Sincere Goods, and Liu Rigor have deep friendship, he once ran into Zhou, found Liu Rigor afterward, said, "Zhou asked me to give you a message." Liu Rigor looked at him and said nothing. Chen Nian said, "I brought the words, that's all."
Chen Tong had also been entrusted to propose for the two set up a reconciliation, Liu Rigor refused, said that "feelings temporarily can not bend to". Liu Rigor in prison, his wife will Zhou Hongyi sent the stereo stuffed into the storage room, after the release, Liu Rigor gave it away.
(See "Liu Lian's Return After the Hijacking", originally published in Southern People Weekly, by Ma Li Ling Shan)
I grew up to be you.
In 2003, Zhou Hongyi's 3721 company recruited a newcomer. This unassuming 28-year-old boy, will later give Zhou Hongyi great credit, but also caused endless mouth.
Fu Sheng graduated from Shandong Institute of Commerce and Industry, although the school is not well known, but Fu Sheng himself is very progressive, learned a handful of good technology. After a few small companies mixed, finally met Zhou Hongyi this Bole. Into the company not long, once Zhou Hongyi meeting, let Fu Sheng do summary, Fu Sheng do very perfect, let Zhou Hongyi impressed, after Zhou Hongyi every time to let him remember. 3721 was acquired by yahoo, Fu Sheng also packaged into the yahoo china, and later Zhou Hongyi left, Fu Sheng followed the departure. Originally, Fu Sheng had many offers, but Zhou Hongyi specifically called to invite Fu Sheng to join the newly established not long after the Qihoo.
Qihoo was originally set up to engage in search. 3721 was sold to Yahoo, Zhou Hongyi once regretted, he felt that in the search market, or can compete with Baidu, so there has been a search plot, and hope to create a search company. Therefore, Qihoo looking for investment in business plans are basically talking about search.
Later, by chance, Qihoo set up a micro-project team to do specifically kill rogue software "rogue nemesis". Fu Sheng served as the second team leader of the project team (the first team leader left after two months), with four brothers to develop the product out. Later, "Hooligan Buster" was renamed 360 Security Guard.
According to Zhou Hongyi said, do "rogue nemesis", in order to open their own Pandora's box personally closed.
3721 is the originator of rogue software, Zhou Hongyi himself is also known as "the father of rogue software", his "rogue nemesis", is also a kind of atonement trip it.
However, according to Fu Sheng's statement, Zhou Hongyi do "rogue nemesis" is another reason. At that time, Qihoo's search business development did not meet expectations, Zhou Hongyi wants to repeat the same trick, with the plug-in way to promote Qihoo, the results found that the rogue software has been in the world, Qihoo simply nowhere to put a foot, so Qihoo's idea is to kill the other plug-ins, and then inserted on their own. (See "Fu Sheng oral history: I am not Lin Biao", originally published in Caixin.com, author Cheng Lingfeng.) 360 Security Guard became more and more popular, so much so that it became synonymous with Qihoo. Later, Qihoo simply turned into a company that focuses on network security. As 360 Security Guard is mainly the product of Fu Sheng, Fu Sheng is also known as the "father of 360 Security Guard" by some people. There is no doubt that Fu Sheng is Qihoo and Zhou Hongyi's big credit. Zhou Hongyi also many times in some internal meetings to praise and thank Fu Sheng. However, in September 2008, Fu Sheng resigned and left after many conflicts with Zhou Hongyi.
About the reason why Fu Sheng left from Qihoo, both sides of the argument, the war of words for some years. View the statements of the two camps, for the same thing different parties, it is really dizzying. We might as well see it. According to Cheng Lingfeng wrote "Fu Sheng oral history: I am not Lin Biao" disclosure:
Zhou Hongyi want to do search did not do up, and let Fu Sheng do security but did up, Zhou's confidence was hit, psychological vulnerability. The original week on the 360 security guards basically do not ask, but later felt that this department "command does not move".
Zhou Hongyi used storytelling to remind Fu Sheng who is the boss. These three stories are: the first, Zhou Hongyi dreamed a dream of two people quarrel, Zhou said, no matter how capable you are, you must be fired. Zhou told Fu Sheng this dream as a joke. Second, a certain period of time, Mao wrote a "criticism of Wu Han" of the manuscript can not be issued, and later criticized Peng Zhen presided over the proclamation of the Department of "pins and needles do not enter, the water can not be poured into." Third, Zhou told the story of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Bai Qi, saying that Bai Qi was "proud of his achievements" and was later killed by Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
According to Fu Sheng said, Zhou Hongyi told these stories, he did not hear the flavor, and later realized that these stories are knocking him out.
The most serious quarrel, is Zhou Hongyi want to let Fu Sheng in 360 Security Guard inside to add new features, Fu Sheng hope to lay a good foundation, do not agree with the new features, and cite the example of the search, said: "Qihoo did so many vertical search before, but do up?" Zhou Hongyi furious, said: "Fu Sheng, you do a good job of 360, I did not do a good job of search, you can jump up and fight with me?"
In personnel arrangements, staff incentives, etc., Fu Sheng and Zhou Hongyi, there are also many differences between, and even made to Fu Sheng on the spot, Zhou Hongyi thoroughly irritated, Fu Sheng passive, Zhou Hongyi more fire.
Contradiction finally reached the point of irreconcilable, Fu Sheng angrily left. Zhou Hongyi afraid of others say he "unloading kill donkey", try to retain, but Fu Sheng stayed not a few months, the two sides of the conflict again intensified. Fu Sheng finally decided to leave.
Fu Sheng resigned on the day, Zhou Hongyi called the 360 core team of Fu Sheng "Criticism Conference", the criticism will last several weeks, and eventually a meeting, Zhou Hongyi finally breathed a sigh of relief: 360 last name week or last name of Fu problem, finally solved.
After Fu Sheng left, he accepted the invitation of Matrix Partners partner Zhang Ying to be the vice president of investment for more than a year, and later his startup company accepted Lei Jun's investment.
Zhou Hongyi in Zhang Ying and Lei Jun to cooperate with Fu Sheng, are strongly obstructed. He brought word to Zhang Ying and Lei Jun: do not accept Fu Sheng, acceptance is against.
Zhang Ying did not compromise. Lei Jun, on the other hand, directly entrusted people with a message to dislike back to say: Fu Sheng gave you a few years of work, does not mean that the whole life is your people; and you let me not invest in the former 360 employees, but how many former employees of Kingsoft you invested in?
The above is Fu Sheng's side of the story, while on Qihoo's side, the story is completely different.
Qihoo's side of the main two to fight: Shi Xiaohong and Li Zhao. Shi Xiaohong is Zhou Hongyi's classmate in the Western Jiaotong University, from 1992 and Zhou Hongyi began to start a business together, then served as vice president of Qihoo 360; Li Zhao is Zhou Hongyi's senior brother in the Western Jiaotong University, Founder of the period of Zhou Hongyi's coworkers, and later from 3721 to Qihoo, has been with Zhou Hongyi to work with the chief architect of Qihoo 360 at the time. The two of them and Zhou Hongyi deep feelings, and in a high position, know the inside story. According to Shi Xiaohong:
Fu Sheng simply does not have the capital of the master. He is just a middle-level cadres, and Zhou Hongyi is 360's major shareholders and chairman of the board, Fu Sheng and Zhou Hongyi does not have a competitive relationship, even if Fu Sheng credit than the sky, but also not possible to take the boss's position and replace it.
Fu Sheng left 360 because he was discovered by 360 after he worked with his employees to start a private company company outside and generate income from dubious sources.
"Assuming that a department head, thinking that they have merit, their own departments into an independent kingdom, the needle can not be inserted into the water can not be poured into the company not only can not be managed, but also what can not be understood, under the a number of employees can not say what they are doing, they are also every day in the office hours at regular intervals, "disappearance", but also not to move! What boss can tolerate this? And which company will not clean up the door, sweep them out of the door?"
(For what Shi Xiaohong said, see "Fu Sheng simply does not have the capital to be a high achiever," originally posted on a new wave blog by Shi Xiaohong)
Li Zhao is even more with a long article on Fu Sheng refutation. Li Zhao said:
Zhou Hongyi's fault is to love talent, love to go to extremes, lack of sense of proportion. He was happy to praise Fu Sheng a lot of over the top words, hand in hand coaching Fu Sheng to do the product, but also in spite of internal objections to insist on promoting Fu Sheng to do 360 Division General Manager. Qi Xiangdong believes: "Fu Sheng inflated to that point, Zhou Hongyi also bears a great responsibility."
Fu Sheng is very high self-esteem, after making 360 is even more arrogant, meeting eyes to the ceiling, chin to colleagues, is not to interrupt others to speak. Other people speak, Fu Sheng self-centered play cell phone, feet almost can rest on the table.
For Fu Sheng "father of 360" title, Li Zhao is not convinced. He believes that the success of the 360 company has financing, kill hooligans, push the browser and navigation, free antivirus, cell phone defender and so on several key points, and only kill hooligans and Fu Sheng related.
In terms of personnel, Zhou Hongyi dug people, Fu Sheng do not want. Fu Sheng has 6 or 7 employees under him, taking 360's company, but helping Fu Sheng to do private work, doing cutting-edge research in the direction of the picture.
Li Zhao believes that Fu Sheng do 360, the product did not do well, and "Zhou Hongyi can tolerate everything, but can not tolerate screwing up the product".
So, Li Zhao disclosed Fu Sheng left for two reasons: one is to do private work, the second is to take the product is not serious. (Li Zhao said content see "Fu Sheng leave inside: from 360 rebel to tencent before the horse", first appeared in the new wave blog, the author Li Zhao)
Since then, Fu Sheng has written a rebuttal to Li Zhao's article, "19 lies made up by Zhou Hongyi".
In addition to how much credit, why leave these major issues, the two sides also tangled on a lot of minutiae, such as the name of 360 in the end who started, Fu Sheng entrepreneurial cattle company is not considered to do private work, the use of important employees attitude, etc., interested in the original text can be found to see. Here will not repeat.
Fu Sheng to Lei Jun's Kingsoft network, was 360 from the product, the market to public opinion, the law of the fierce attack, forward very difficult. However, he later took Kingsoft Network (later renamed Cheetah Mobile) on the market.
Fu Sheng's microblogging, and now also left a lot of complaints about Zhou Hongyi, and even exploded foul language. 2014 July, Fu Sheng also said, "Zhou Hongyi once lit up after, and later regretted, want to get extinguished me." However, from that year after August, he never talked about Zhou Hongyi on microblogging.
And Zhou Hongyi's microblogging, Fu Sheng did not mention a word. It is worth mentioning that, although Fu Sheng is full of resentment towards Zhou Hongyi, but he did things, but Zhou Hongyi also step by step. In how to do the product, how to do the market, how to do in a company at the same time also for later open their own company secretly do preparation, how to dig the former owner of the corner, if in the public opinion war bombardment rivals, etc., Fu Sheng's practice and Zhou Hongyi as the same.
Although only a short 5 years, but Zhou Hongyi in Fu Sheng body carved too deep imprint. Fu Sheng thought he was detached from Zhou Hongyi, but in fact he did not realize that, in a period of time, living as the person he hated the most.
At the 2017 Wuzhen Internet Conference, the two shared a meal, with only one person between their seats. I wonder if they exchanged words during their drinks and what they talked about?
Which of the BAT bigwigs haven't I fought?
In addition to these juniors, Zhou Hongyi more famous battle, of course, is against the parties big brother. Several of the most famous people in today's Internet circle were once his "enemies".
Zhou Hongyi and Jack Ma used to be friends.
In 2002, he participated in the Ma Yun's third "West Lake sword", also this year, he and Ma Yun in the west of Beijing Dajue Temple of the Minghui Tea Garden, drink a altar of Ma Yun with the Shaoxing daughter of the red, chatting with the sea and the sky, the mood is relaxed. (According to "Ma Yun, Zhou Hongyi, remember the white magnolia tree? , the author Lao Rong) When Zhou Hongyi decided to leave from Yahoo China, Ma Yun also called Zhou Hongyi and asked what kind of experience it was to merge with a multinational company. Ma's counseling was, in fact, a preparation for Alibaba's acquisition of Yahoo China. in May 2005, Zhou resigned from Yahoo! In August of the same year, Yahoo China merged into Alibaba, and Jack Ma became the big boss of Yahoo China. At that time, Zhou Hongyi also specifically asked Ma Yun, must treat his old department.
After the 360 security guards up, the first to kill, is the main product of Yahoo China "Yahoo Assistant" (i.e., the original 3721, was renamed after the acquisition of Yahoo).
Yahoo Assistant was Yahoo China's main source of profit, and 360's attack, will directly put Yahoo Assistant to death. Of course, Ma Yun was very dissatisfied with this. His general Tian Jian (formerly Zhou Hongyi's deputy in Yahoo! China, who took over as Yahoo! China's general manager after Zhou Hongyi's departure) came out and accused Zhou Hongyi of being unethical. Both sides' websites were filled with articles accusing the other side. Tian Jian used the same words that Qi Xiangdong would later use: "We can't stand it anymore."
Zhou Hongyi said, "Tian Jian openly lied to the media, not qualified to talk about morality." He also said, "Unless Jack Ma hires a killer to kill me, I have the determination to let the people who despise my determination have no good ending." Ma did not talk back directly (at least I did not check), but directly to Zhou Hongyi threw a big move, Alibaba issued a statement that: never and Zhou Hongyi investment and associated companies to have any business dealings, and called on all companies and investment institutions across the industry to block. On the network, I found a lot of Zhou Hongyi said how Ma Yun how the information (good and bad), but never found Ma Yun any occasion to mention Zhou Hongyi. I don't know if he has nothing to say, or just doesn't care? However, Alibaba in a number of years and 360 happy cooperation, redefined the "forever" and "all" two words. Zhou Hongyi and Robin Li, but did not become friends.
The first meeting, Zhou Hongyi rushed to introduce 3721 to Li Yanhong, and eagerly hoped to do personal search with Baidu had just begun to reach an agreement.
However, according to Zhou Hongyi autobiography records, Robin Li listened in silence, slowly said, "I think 3721 essentially do is also a search, there will certainly be competition in the future."
Robin Li is right, later, 3721 and Baidu really hit the sky.
The most direct competition is in the 3721 and Baidu Soba two plug-in products, the two sides of each other to design the program as "you do not have me, I do not have you," as long as the user installed one of them, will receive a reminder to delete the other one.
In 2003, the two sides of the battle was fierce, Robin Li also took a protracted trick: report the teacher!
In September of this year, Baidu took 3721 to court. At that time, Zhou Hongyi and Robin Li, although a little fame, but not yet talk about big brother, lawsuit are personally appear in court.
The two accused each other in court like kindergarteners arguing: "You did something bad", "You did something bad too"; "You did it first", "No, it's you who did the bad thing first". That is Zhou Hongyi life and Li Yanhong meet the most frequent period of time.
Not only that, out of the courtroom, Zhou Hongyi and Robin Li also almost swung on the spot, but was pulled. Otherwise, according to Zhou Hongyi's experience in the jungle and pugilistic fighting, Robin Li's handsome little face may have to blossom on the spot.
Later, 3721 was sold to Yahoo, and the battle came to an end.
However, a number of years later, Zhou Hongyi's new company Qihoo 360 began to do search, once again and Baidu into a mess, known as the "3B war".
Zhou Hongyi scolded Baidu fake medical ads harmful, Baidu sued 360 unfair competition. However, due to Zhou Hongyi and Robin Li are self-esteem, scolding a lot of convergence, are no longer personally appear in court, so although the battle is very intense, but the wonderful index than 3721 period is far from.
During the two sessions in March 2018, Zhou Hongyi microblogging specifically issued a photo with Robin Li. Its accompanying text reads "Today it is allowed to bring cell phones into the venue, the representatives are extremely joyful", but on the photo, both people look serious, and can't see the joy in the slightest.
Zhou Hongyi and Ma Huateng, it is difficult to say is not a friend. 2002, he and Ma Huateng together to participate in the "West Lake Sword", said in front of the crowd, "we are these people, Ma Huateng is the most immature." When the crowd looked at each other, Zhou Hongyi explained that everyone else is married, only Ma Huateng is not married. This is of course just a little joke. But 8 years later, I'm afraid the two of them can't laugh anymore. At that time, WeChat has not yet been born, QQ is the boss of the social field, and 360 has grown into the boss of the security field. Originally, social and security well water does not offend river water, but at that time the situation was very delicate. In the eyes of 360, Tencent is a very scary monster, because it has QQ's huge traffic, if you want to intervene in other areas, basically can beat the opponents (in addition to search and e-commerce can not be shaken), so 360 is very worried about the Tencent if you want to do security, how do they do.
In the eyes of Tencent, 360 is also a monster of the same terrible, because it is the system level software, can decide the life and death of other software on the computer. If 360 to intervene in other areas, not only with the "athlete" identity of fair play, but also can use the "referee" position from the bottom of the kill, for example, 360 has the ability to declare that a piece of software has a loophole, is a rogue software, with a virus, collection or leakage of privacy, etc., so as to interfere with its operation or even kill it completely. privacy and so on, so as to interfere with its operation or even completely kill it.
That is to say, whether it is Tencent or 360, have a cross-border attack on the powerful means, and both sides have cross-border attack on the previous record, their respective victims are a lot of, either party has the ability to put the other side to death. 360 and Tencent is in a game theory on the most classic "Prisoner's Dilemma". Ma Huateng saw Rising Star, Kingsoft, Oceanis, cattle and other companies were 360 with unconventional means of hanging, very afraid of the day the fire will burn to the social, so feel the first to strike first, do their own security products, and the use of QQ bundled with the installation.
Tencent intervention in security, precisely Zhou Hongyi's most worried about things, 360's reaction was unusually fierce, has launched a "360 privacy protector" and "buckle bodyguard", from the bottom of the system hijacking QQ.
For both companies, this is a battle of life and death. Later, the war was fought to the Tencent alarm, Zhou Hongyi fled, and finally ended with the mediation of state power.
Later, Zhou Hongyi mentioned the arch-enemy in a speech, with the "great Tencent, respected Ma" such terms, and said, 50 360 are not as good as a WeChat.
In 2018, Zhou Hongyi and Ma Huateng attended the Wuzhen Internet Conference together, and at one of the events, the two sat together and patted shoulders and backs, looking intimate. At the banquet they attended together, they even took advantage of the wine to say "I love you" to each other.
Unsung Hero Zhou Hongyi
In addition to fighting with people, Zhou's struggle, there are also dangerous hunters in the virtual space, including certain online forces that have no good intentions for China.
In 2011, 360 would have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States, but in 2015, Zhou went through the trouble of redeeming his shares, withdrawing from the U.S. stock market, dismantling the VIE structure and re-listing in mainland China in 2016.
Currently, of the top 10 Chinese Internet companies in terms of market capitalization, only one, 360, is on the mainland stock market, while the others are all listed overseas.
And one of the main reasons why 360 has to go through all the trouble of returning to the mainland is for the sake of maintaining national security. Because 360 is already the world's largest Internet security company, and as a Chinese company, as the United States and China continue to intensify the dark war of cyber attack and defense, 360's situation, increasingly delicate.
In 2017, at the national political and legal police video and telephone conference organized by the Central Political and Legal Committee, Zhou Hongyi gave a lecture to 1.5 million political and legal police on "the global network security situation and response in the new period". In the PPT, Zhou wrote in bright red font: without network security, there is no national security.
Zhou Hongyi pointed out that new types of cybercrime threaten people's property and personal safety, ransomware attacks threaten social stability and security, cyberattacks threaten the security of the country's critical infrastructure, cyberattacks threaten the security of the financial system.
He proposed that the right to make networks has become the core of future wars, and that the first battle in future wars will be cyberwarfare, including the use of cyberwarfare to carry out public opinion influence, infiltration, infiltration, control, destruction and so on. Therefore, we should look at cyberspace security with the thinking of war, and strengthen our own informatization construction as well as the security of national key information infrastructure with the requirement of coping with war.
So far, 360 has risen from an ordinary enterprise, a relationship with China's national security, with important social significance and national defense value of network security forces. Zhou Hongyi, also from a once bear the name of the "father of rogue software", evolved into a maintenance of our years of peace and quiet "superhero". Only, the role of this hero, I'm afraid that has not been fully recognized by the people of the country, can only be silent and anonymous weight forward.
Who is Zhou waging war on?
Zhou Hongyi was born in 1970, is now nearly half a hundred. According to the ancient Chinese age algorithm, birth is 1 year old, then, Zhou Hongyi this year has been the traditional meaning of "know the fate" of the year. In front of half a hundred life, Zhou Hongyi had countless battles, he enjoyed the fun and fruitful results of the battle, but also suffered countless panic and pain. He once said, we come out to mix, sooner or later to return.
There was a time when Zhou Hongyi was at a loss, ready to protect himself. In a "Boshi Hall" program, Zhou Hongyi even difficult to listen to the guest of honor a sentence, everywhere on the defensive, when counterattacks, like a hedgehog can not be touched. This kind of seemingly high-spirited "fearless", in fact, is not the embodiment of the deep insecurity of the heart? People see red clothes can be afraid, I see red clothes also pity.
Zhou Hongyi believes that friendship is the most cherished possession in the world. But now he has many enemies and few friends. Moreover, in the past two years, the original brothers of the hand and foot with him for many years of suffering, but also one by one left him. In the public number, there is a popular article, the title is clearly called "oligarch Zhou Hongyi" (see "Huashang Towers" public number, the author of the sample).
Now Zhou Hongyi, is no longer in 1988, hormones nowhere to rest, with nunchaku to bully the children's reckless youth; is no longer in 2008, I feel the world and my enemy, close friends turn against the prison, the cadres far away from the red godfather; is no longer have a strong anxiety of survival, to the determination of the same death to the enemy to launch a fatal blow to the red artillery... ...
Now Zhou Hongyi, itself is already a predator, should have enough self-confidence and backbone, and thus should also have a higher pattern and greater temperament.
Moreover, 360, as China's most powerful cybersecurity company, is shouldering a huge burden in this era of unprecedented national cyber risks and critical cybersecurity, and is no longer a tiny, survival-is-the-goal, commercial-interests-first small company.
It takes a bigger heart to do bigger things.
I hope that Zhou Hongyi and 360, can virtue to match the position.
Old Chow really needs to think this through:
Who are you fighting for? Who will you fight for? Who will accompany you to fight? Maybe I say this is too obscure, then may as well use Zhou Hongyi like to play guns and real CS to compare: your AK47 to be used to protect who? To be used to target who? On the battlefield, who will put their backs to you, you can rest assured that the back to whom? A certain great man once said that the question of who are our friends and who are our enemies is the primary question of revolution. I sincerely believe that now Zhou Hongyi, the most important thing to consider, is this problem.
Zhou Hongyi once said to Ai Cheng in "Ai asked Zhou Hongyi": the most fearful thing is that when one day old, a person alone in a home for the elderly.
I would like to say that if he still has the same amount of temperament and pattern as before, and is always on guard against the whole world being his enemy and is always ready to fight with people, then this this thing, which scares him, will definitely happen.
However, I still believe that Zhou Hongyi is righteous, warm-blooded, from the bottom of his heart willing to warm people, but also for the user, for the community, for the country, to make great contributions, leaving a great reputation.
Only then should he be more forgiving, more generous, and put his soaring warlike spirit where it belongs. Only then will he have fewer and fewer enemies. Perhaps in the future, his brothers and sisters and close friends, will return to his side, and he together to fight a bigger mountain, together with back to back to play CS, together with classical music, together with drinking daughter red to enjoy the magnolia blossom. Smart as Zhou Hongyi, in the year of his life, can figure out this truth?
Once again, good luck with the old week.
