There are too many conflicts between Internet companies, and there are endless incidents of overt and covert fighting. There have even been cases of secretly using hackers to attack each other's websites and servers. However, for the entire industry, things like Makino Technology's tricks are really serious. First time meeting.
First of all, Makino Technology is fighting against Sina this time. It can be said that it is very gentlemanly. It does not attack Sina in any way, but just eliminates Sina from its products. Not to mention that the current Internet laws and regulations are not perfect, even if they are perfect, there is nothing they can do. If any sanctions are imposed on Makino Technology, they can use their own product lines however they want, so Sina is destined to suffer a huge loss this time.
Secondly, Makino Technology is really a thief. Their blocking logic was studied by a group of fixed-minded Internet people for a whole morning. After they studied the genius-level blocking logic of Makino Technology, they admired Makino Technology. It was like an endless stream of water. At the same time, everyone was mourning for Sina in their hearts. If nothing else, Sina was completely defeated by Makino Technology this time.
Sina immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with Makino Technology's sudden attack. Chen Tong's mood was extremely bad. He had long said not to do UC and not to compete head-on with Makino Technology. As a result, no one here paid attention to him. He was ridiculed and ridiculed, and now Makino Technology would only take action if it did not take action. Once it took action, it would go straight to his own efforts. He suffered such an unreasonable disaster for nothing, and his mood was naturally extremely angry.
At the beginning of the meeting, Sina.com's technical director announced a set of latest server monitoring data: From the beginning of Makino Technology's two-pronged campaign against Sina.com to now, Sina.com's visits have dropped by 26% compared to the average for the same period this month. !
In one sentence, the whole house was shocked!
Those senior executives who were confident in the past were dumbfounded. No one expected that a quarter of their website's traffic would be blocked by Makino Technology in an instant, and this was just the beginning.
Sina is a company listed on Nasdaq. The U.S. stock market is currently in daylight saving time. Nasdaq opens at 9:30 pm Beijing time. What happened today will be spread to the capital market soon. By then, Sina’s stock price will be I am afraid…
I can’t even think about it!
The CEO immediately went berserk: "The top priority now is how to solve this problem! If we can't solve it today and delay it until night, the stock price will definitely collapse as soon as Nasdaq opens!"
A quarter of the traffic of a portal website was cut off in one day. This is simply the rhythm of a dog leash! Not to mention that everyone here is terrified, once the investors in the United States know the news, they will probably be furious, right? What a listed company fears most is that investors lose confidence. Once investors lose confidence, no one can pull back the downward trend.
Chen Tong's heart was bleeding, what a disaster! An absolute disaster! Sina is my own child. Now because these greedy guys want to steal food from Makino Technology, Makino Technology directly targets Sina. Now everyone is panicking. What the hell are you doing earlier? went
Xu Jinzhong, the person in charge of the UC project, once had an argument with Chen Tong in a meeting about whether to compete with Makino Technology for the QQ team. At the beginning, he was unswervingly determined to launch the UC project and make a big splash, and even ridiculed Chen Tong. He opposed UC because he was afraid of being implicated, but at the moment he was very nervous, fearing that Chen Tongqiu would settle the score later, so he immediately said righteously: "I suggest that the legal department immediately draft an official letter and send it to Makino Technology strictly. Reprimand their behavior and ask them to stop harming Sina immediately! Warn them that if they continue to infringe on Sina’s interests, we will use legal weapons to defend ourselves!”
A group of people looked at him like an idiot, especially the head of the legal department. He asked Xu Jinzhong with a fed-up expression: "Mr. Xu, can you tell me which law Makino Technology has violated? They don't even know. They didn’t even say a word to attack us, they just blocked us in their product system. If this can sue the other party for infringing on our interests, then we can also sue CCTV. Why not add Sina to CCTV advertisements. "
Xu Jinzhong was speechless.
I just wanted to change the topic and let everyone be filled with indignation against Makino Technology, so as not to give Chen Tong a chance to settle old scores. I didn't expect that this sentence was so untechnical that he suffered so much contempt for nothing.
At this time, Chen Tong said with a sullen look on his face: "Makino Technology is playing such a big game, it must be because we poached the QQ team at a high price and insisted on developing UC. YY is the core of all products and business models of Makino Technology, and we threaten it. He will attack our core business because of our core interests. As I said before, giving up the development of UC is the only way to solve the problem!"
When Xu Jinzhong heard this, he became anxious and asked Chen Tong: "Do you mean to disband the UC team and scrap the products that we have invested so much manpower, energy, financial and material resources in?"
Chen Tong nodded without hesitation: "Only in this way can we have a chance to solve the current dilemma."
Xu Jinzhong said angrily: "Chen Tong, don't be alarmist here. Makino Technology is not a good man and a believer. I think it is fake that they are retaliating against us. It is true that they want to imitate us and build a portal! Do you think we will stop developing UC and surrender?" Will he stop? Stop dreaming!"
Xu Jinzhong was just desperately defending his territory and trying his best to absolve himself of responsibility, but he didn't expect that he accidentally told Li Mu's true intention.
Li Mu has never been afraid of UC. He has never been able to compete with QQ's products in his previous life. It is a fool's dream to compete with his own YY in this life. Li Mu just wants to use UC to scare chickens and monkeys. In the field of instant messaging, he does not just want to be the dominant one. , he wants only this one, so he must take action against Sina to let the entire industry remember his style of doing things. In addition, he also really needs a portal to support Makino Technology’s subsequent development in the PC field. , so even if Sina abandons its martial arts and kills UC and surrenders, Li Mu will never give up on being a portal.
Now Li Mu's intention is very clear. Sina must stop developing UC, and then watch it go online on the YY portal. Are you heartbroken? That's right.
One meeting and no substantive solution was found.
Li Mu always has this ability to force his opponents into an unsolvable situation. Li Mu blocked Sina from Makino Technology's product line. Sina didn't even have a theoretical basis for protest, let alone counterattack.
However, time is extremely tight for Sina. If this problem cannot be solved before Nasdaq opens, the consequences will be serious.
Sina CEO really wants to have a chat with Li Mu. He has not guessed that Li Mu is also going to become a portal. He just thinks that Li Mu is simply taking revenge. In order to defend his absolute position in YY, he launched a fatal blow to UC, which has not yet been launched. At the moment, he had to admit that in his heart, he had already compromised. He wanted to express a position to Li Mu: As long as Li Mu stopped blocking Sina's own product system, he was willing to immediately disband the UC team on the spot and think of Li Mu. Liu Xuebin and his team, who wanted but were poached by him at a high price, were all kicked out of Sina.
Therefore, he formulated two strategies at the meeting, either appeasement or desperate measures.
If you choose appeasement, then immediately surrender, cede territory and pay compensation, and sacrifice UC to preserve the portal, but only if Li Mu is willing to accept it.
Choose to fight for your life. In fact, there is no life to fight for. You messed with me so quietly and made me suffer such a huge loss. If you really don’t leave a way out, then I will risk all the 26% of the traffic. , we must also try our best to cause trouble for Makino Technology in various ways and in various fields.
So he made two execution plans based on these two strategies. First, he planned to contact Makino Technology immediately, go to meet Li Mu in person, take the initiative to cede land and pay compensation, and give up UC as a condition in exchange for Li Mu's favor to Sina. However, he also asked Chen Tong to lead the editorial department of the portal to immediately prepare a special article, preparing to use the Sina platform to launch a public opinion campaign against Makino Technology. The content of the article would not only amplify the fact that Makino Technology deliberately targeted Sina, but also We should also summarize the various despicable competition methods used by Makino Technology in the Internet industry over the past year. If Li Mu takes a step back and refuses to let go, he will use the influence of the portal to turn Makino Technology into a target of public criticism.
Chen Tong is not interested in the second plan because he knows that although YY does not yet have its own portal, it has already had the ability to deliver information based on all product lines. This is different from the Sina portal. The content of Sina Portal is passively delivered. It can only put the content you want to convey on Sina and wait for users to receive it. However, Makino Technology is exactly the opposite. Its information delivery is active and delivers information directly to all YY users. .
Therefore, in comparison, Chen Tong believes that YY's information delivery capabilities and delivery conversion rate are much higher than Sina. If Sina engages in a public opinion war with Makino Technology, Makino Technology is more likely to win.
Based on this consideration, Chen Tong once again expressed his views. He first expressed his views and then concluded: "I think we should not prepare for a full-scale war with Makino Technology for the time being. If a full-scale war begins, we will win. The chance is very small, and if we take the initiative to declare war on Makino Technology at the level of public opinion, in fact, in the eyes of the public, we are not defending ourselves, but actively provoking disputes. After all, Makino Technology has never published any content about Sina from the beginning to the end. They did not make any offensive remarks against Sina. They just blocked Sina in their product line. If we proactively launch a public opinion war against Makino Technology, how can we win public sympathy?"
It’s Friday, I wish you all a happy weekend! If you have a monthly ticket, don't forget to vote. I'm not very good at canvassing votes. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope when it comes to canvassing for votes...
