Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi went upstairs.

Lao Zhang was practicing yoga again, and his body twisted in a weird way.

Zhou Buqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Old Zhang, can you show some image?"

"Don't talk, I'm practicing!"

"Practice a fart!"

Zhang Chaoyang sat on the yoga mat with a serious face, "I'm letting go of the old and bringing in the new, you ordinary people don't understand at all."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "How about it? How did you cooperate with the relevant departments to set up the big online class? How effective is it? I heard that the website has been paralyzed a lot?"

This can be regarded as Sohu benefits.

In the cooperation between Microsoft and CNNIC, Zhang Chaoyang played the role of matchmaker and successfully made Chinese search the default language of IE browser. This is a very important diplomatic achievement. In the whole world, besides English, there is only Chinese.

At the beginning of April, the two parties had signed a formal cooperation agreement. The CNNIC Chinese plug-in disappeared and was submerged in the turbulent waves of the Internet.

Therefore, in the image project "Internet Classroom" organized by the relevant departments, Sohu suddenly took the lead, and was lifted by the authorities to the same level as Sina, co-organizing it.

It is a trivial matter to get the 3 million project fund from the state. Through this official event, it has brought huge traffic and brand blessing to Sohu Video.

Speaking of this, Zhang Chaoyang was very happy and quite proud, "Don't slander Sohu. There are many websites that are down, but they are basically official websites, such as Xinhuanet and CCTV. The level is not enough, and the traffic The server crashed as soon as it was uploaded. Sohu was able to withstand 500,000 people online at its peak."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help bragging, "Have 500,000 people? That's amazing! During group buying on Xiaonei, that's 5 million people snapping up online at the same time."

"5 million people, let's kill you!" Zhang Chaoyang snorted disdainfully, got up lazily, called a beautiful secretary to pack up the yoga mat, and sat on the sofa, "Tell me, what's wrong? Nothing can go to the Three Treasures Hall."

Zhou Buqi rubbed his nose, "That's what I said, I'm not on vacation for a month, I haven't seen you for too long."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Hey, good news!"

"Good thing?"

"Yes, some time ago we sold anti-computer virus technology, you know? Let domestic and foreign security software manufacturers share our technical achievements. This time we plan to come up with another system and share it with domestic Internet companies."

Zhang Chaoyang's nose was about to crooked, "Sharing? It sounds better than singing. Are you going to harvest leeks? How much will it cost?"

"I remember that Sohu Blog has 5 million users?"

"That was in February, and the online class is doing well this time, with more than 6 million users."

"That's it, then I have to increase the price for you."

"Um?"

Zhang Chaoyang froze for a moment, but did not react.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Our sales principle is 1 yuan per user. Since Sohu Blog has 6 million users, you can just give me 6 million. I will send a technical team over later to solve the system problems. You get it."

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned, and said in surprise, "What are you talking about? What system? It's going to sell for 6 million? Isn't it an exclusive sale? One for 1 yuan, you are too dark, aren't you?"

"Black? It's cheap!" Zhou Buqi snorted, glanced at him, and said proudly, "It's an open platform! The social open platform of Friends Network! Is this system enough? Is it attractive? ?”

"Open platform?" Zhang Chaoyang was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't believe it, "You made it?"

"certainly!"

"It is true?"

"I'm here to sell. Are you telling me it's true? You hand over the money, and I'll send you the code later!"

Zhang Chaoyang still couldn't believe it, "Is it really done?"

Zhou Buqi looked indifferent, "If you fake it, you will pay ten!"

"you made it yourself?"

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned, and seemed to have a new understanding of Ziweixing's technical strength.

He didn't even dare to think about such a big project.

Zhou Buqi didn't blush, and cleverly shifted the focus of the topic, and said with a smile: "I don't understand technology, what would I do? It was done by the technical team under him, and it can be regarded as a relatively important project of our Ziwei Star in the near future. Hey ? Haven’t you heard of it? Friends.com is in contact with the outside world, looking for application developers for open platforms.”

Zhang Chaoyang was a little stunned, as if he was still in a state of thinking, "I...I know, but I thought you just opened an API interface simply to cooperate with fixed merchants. Unexpectedly, you really built a network based on The online public platform of Youyou.com.”

Friends.com open platform is based on Ziweixing, just like Monternet is based on mobile. Internet companies can make use of the traffic of Friends.com and China Mobile to earn profits by linking their products to it.

Judging from the traffic effect, the open platform of Youyou.com must be much worse, and it is far from being comparable to Monternet.

But from a technical point of view, Friends.com's open platform is even more powerful.

As Zhang Chaoyang said, it is not difficult to open an API interface to connect with external merchants. For example, the Taobao channel of Friends.com is connected to Taobao's API. Taobao does not need to have its own open platform, just open an interface and connect it.

Monternet is this technical logic.

To connect with Montnets, merchants must first apply and then review, and only after the approval is passed will the technicians of both parties connect with each other, linking the platform and the application.

The open platform is different. It does not require a technician to connect, and it can be completed directly online. Developers upload their enterprise qualifications, and after passing the review, they can put their applications on it.

To put it simply, the former is a manual operation that requires manpower, and it takes a year to complete the docking of thousands of applications. The latter is fully automatic, intelligent operation, without manual restrictions, and it is possible to increase hundreds of thousands of applications a year.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago that Ziweixing is a technological innovation company, and we have high-tech attributes. Do you believe me now?"

Zhang Chaoyang fixed his eyes on him for a while, then gave a thumbs up, "Amazing!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, with a look of indifference, "What is this? Wait a few years for my distributed database to be completed and you will see it again. I will definitely brighten your eyes! When the time comes, help Sohu modify it. One What’s wrong with spending more than 30 million yuan a year on Oracle’s database?”

Zhang Chaoyang said: "If you really made an open platform, then I really have some confidence in your database."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Whether you believe it or not, our database will definitely be successful! Even if it is not as good as Oracle's optimization, but it is of high quality and low price, and has superior performance. The future Internet companies must be without Oracle's culture. , No one can afford such a high licensing fee. Just look at them, they are too dark."

Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand, "Let's not talk about the database, let's talk about the open platform carefully. Do you want 6 million to sell to Sohu?"

"That's right, directly connecting with Sohu Blog, is this a just-needed product?"

"Calculate."

Zhang Chaoyang nodded.

That was so much needed.

How do websites like Sohu Blog and Sina Blog make money? There is only one way, that is, the page advertisement in the Internet 1.0 era. This has long been outdated, and there is no personalized customization attribute, and the ability to make money is very poor.

Therefore, at present, none of the domestic blog forums are profitable, and all of them are losing money. Qzone is profitable, but people can sell Q coins and yellow diamonds, so there are more profit channels.

For blog sites, including social networking sites such as 5Q.com, Zhanzuo.com, and Ruolin.com, it is impossible to rely solely on advertising to make profits, and an open platform gives them opportunities.

Zhang Chaoyang was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "Xiao Zhou, that...or you can give it to me!"

"Damn it!" Zhou Buqi was angry and funny, "Old Zhang, with your red mouth and white teeth, you just wiped 6 million on me?"

Zhang Chaoyang sighed, "Life is hard, there is a war going on!"

"War? With whom?"

"Call the portal, fighting for the Olympics."

"Hasn't Sohu become the exclusive network partner media for the Olympic Games?"

"Yes, it cost a lot of money." Zhang Chaoyang was very helpless, "But you can't interfere with other people's freedom of the press. Sohu cooperates exclusively with the Olympic Organizing Committee, but others can report heresy. What is posted on foreign websites? If the news is translated and distributed immediately, it becomes our own news, what can we do? Sina, Netease, and Penguin are all forming their own Olympic reporting teams, and this battle will take a year.”

Zhou Buqi nodded.

The Olympic Games in the capital, this is the last highlight of Sohu. Last year, by cooperating with the World Cup, it became popular, and next year there will be the Olympic Games. This mode will no longer work in the future.

"Then, I'll give it to you!"

"real?"

Zhou Buqi curled his lips, "What? Why don't you give it to you for free?"

Zhang Chaoyang smiled happily: "Yes, this important product, I am determined to get it! Are you really giving it to me for nothing?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, I gave it to you. But we have to sign a sales contract. When publicizing it to the outside world, we will say that Sohu bought it for 6 million. Otherwise, there is no way to explain it to someone else."

Zhang Chaoyang was slightly surprised, "You really want to sell it everywhere?"

"Yes, big companies go there once, Sina, Netease, Taobao, Penguin, Saidi, Ctrip, Qunar, Baidu, Zhaopin...all of them go there. If you have something good, you have to share it. It's not my style .”

"Isn't it good to keep it for yourself?" Zhang Chaoyang couldn't understand it, so he was silent for a while, and suggested to him, "There is no similar product in China, and you have a monopoly position. If you make good use of it, this open platform will bring huge benefits to Youyou. profits. Did you make a mistake in your decision? Don’t affect commercial interests for the sake of feelings.”

It is too stupid and naive not to use a monopoly position.

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, and couldn't explain much, so he could only say with compassion: "I can't help it, serving the country and the people, saving the suffering and the needy, is probably my mission in life!"

"Depend on!"

Zhang Chaoyang almost vomited blood.
