Been clean for a few days.

On the third day of junior high school, I started to get busy.

This year is finally over.

In addition to New Year greeting calls, there are also many business exchanges.

Among them, the most positive one was undoubtedly Lei Jun. He was in the capital and said he wanted to come out to meet and have a chat.

Needless to say, it must be a matter of UC Browser.

Zhou Buqi didn't want to meet, and made his position unmistakable: "SP is dead."

"It's not that serious." Lei Jun disagreed. "Supervision has been strengthened, and some SP business companies that operate in violation of regulations have also been banned. But with the support of mobile companies, this business will not die."

That’s right. Of China Mobile’s total revenue, 22% comes from SP business.

Mobile and telecom operators will not allow this business to die.

The so-called SP service refers to mobile value-added services, including SMS, MMS, voice, ring tones, etc.

At the beginning of the new century, the Internet bubble burst, and 90% of the world’s Internet companies starved to death.

Very few survived.

China Mobile has done a good thing, which can be regarded as the first in the world. It launched Monternet, which connected Internet companies with its SP business and supported a large number of companies.

The most famous one is QQ.

At this time, there was no 3G in China, it was in the 2G and 2.5G stages, and mobile phones were all feature phones.

When users use their mobile phones to chat on QQ, they need to send messages through Monternet via SMS.

The sharing ratio of SMS revenue is 85% for China Mobile and 15% for QQ.

Relying on the support of Monternet, QQ not only survived, but also achieved excellent results. It made profits early and was successfully listed in 2004...

Of course, China Mobile also controlled the lifeblood of Penguin. Later, when Fetion was launched, it was forced to connect with QQ. If they did not agree, QQ was kicked out of Monternet, which had no choice but to accept it aggrievedly.

In addition to QQ, companies such as Sohu, Sina, NetEase, A8, 3G Portal, Kongzhong, TOM, etc. also rely on SP business to generate additional income.

These are all normal.

More are informal.

They try every possible means to lure users in, even using vulgar promotion methods. After luring users in, they try every possible means to extract value from them, such as hidden deductions, billing on behalf of users, or stealing user privacy for resale.

Therefore, starting from the second half of last year, the country began to introduce various policies one after another. First, it is to restrict the erosion of traditional phone calls and text messaging services through wireless Internet; secondly, it is to standardize the SP business market.

, build a harmonious society.

TOM's stock price peaked at $28, and now it's down to $10.

Zhou Buqi said bluntly: "Even if I don't die, I won't live for a few more years."

"Don't be so absolute."

"We can be considered friends. To be honest with you, I do have the intention to enter the wireless Internet and develop SP business. The interaction with friends on the Friends Network is very suitable for the SP business."

Lei Jun said: "That's not good! You have to have your own wap browser!" (Browsers do not belong to the SP business. Related services launched around the browser, such as UC Park, are SP businesses.)

Zhou Buqi asked: "What's so good about that UC browser? It's not famous at all. If I launch a micro-dot browser, what do you think college students and white-collar workers across the country will choose?"

"Well……"

Lei Jun was choked.

This is not nonsense!

"Weidian" is a well-known Internet brand. Weidian Antivirus and Weidian Security Guard cover almost 80% of the Internet-connected computers in the country. With the support of Xiaonei Network and Friends Network, if Weidian Browser enters the wireless market, it will be very popular.

It may kill UC instantly.

Even if the founder of UC is full of confidence... But as long as Dongfang Weidian spreads the word that it will launch the Weidian browser for mobile phones, no investors will give UC any more money, which is equivalent to defeat without a fight.

"Xiao Zhou, we are all friends, there is no need, right? Xiaopeng and Liang Jie are both good people." Lei Jun was very loyal to his friends and advised him.

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Brother Lei, you are making things difficult for me! Even if you borrow a tree to bloom, you have to plant it in your own back garden, right?"

Lei Jun understood what he meant immediately.

"I'll ask later, but they may not be able to agree."

"This is the only solution."

Lei Jun smiled and said, "No matter what, it's good to have another way out."

Zhou Buqi also smiled, "Yes, it can also help you save some money."

"By the way, are you really not optimistic about the SP business?"

"Didn't you hear the news? The Chairman of the Ministry of Information Industry said that the conditions for the development of 3G in my country are already in place. Experts will conduct expert discussions on this and make decision-making suggestions with relevant departments."

Lei Jun was very curious, "3G and SP don't conflict, right?"

Zhou Buqi snorted, "Smartphones and faster Internet speeds, what value does SP have?"

"Will there be policy restrictions?"

"This is the general trend."

Zhou Buqi expressed his judgment very firmly.

The promotion of 3G will truly develop the wireless Internet that focuses on SP business into a mobile Internet.

After the call ended, Wen Zhixia looked at him strangely from the side, "You didn't tell the truth, did you?"

Zhou Buqi laughed, "It's half true and half false."

"What's going on?" Wen Zhixia was curious.

Zhou Buqi sighed, "To do SP business, there are four words that are indispensable - trap, deceive, abduct, and deceive. If UC wants to start a business and make a profit, this kind of primitive accumulation is indispensable. I don't want Ziweixing to be saddled with it.

Such a reputation.”

Wen Zhixia opened her eyes wide, "Don't you want to acquire it?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It will be difficult to deal with the acquisition. Give them a sum of money and take as many shares as possible. When 3G comes in a few years, we will focus on this area. I am very good at the mobile phone business layout.

, once you use it early, it will be bad if others learn it. You have to kill it at the critical moment."

In fact, he had thought about developing SP business before.

But after He Yang came, he was persuaded.

At present, we still need to focus on the PC Internet and develop and integrate these businesses well. Don’t rashly shift the track before you have strong enough strength.

After Zhou Buqi thought about it, he respected his opinion.

In China, the 3G era will not officially begin until 2009.

Prior to this, no matter how good the wireless business was, it was still a small effort. There was no need to waste manpower, material resources and energy in this area. After all, in the PC Internet, Ziweixing still had great development prospects and room for expansion.

…

In the afternoon, Zhou Buqi went out to meet Zhou Hongyi.

The conversation was not very happy and we broke up unhappy.

Qihoo's aggregated search business was not doing well and its promotion was not going well. But Zhou Hongyi's connections were so strong and her reputation was big enough that she actually wanted to build connections to launch Series A financing.

This was very different from Zhou Buqi's original expectations.

He thought he could find an opportunity to take over this mature technical team, but in the end, he only wanted to be the big brother and had no intention of relying on others.

Then Zhou Buqi went to pick up Wu Yu and took him back to his home.

Zhou Nan still has a more harmonious relationship with Wu Yu, and she is very happy, calling her sister one after another. Mainly because of the gifts from Wu Yu, all kinds of strange stones and jewelry, which are dazzling.

Dinner is even more lively.

Wu Yu was chirping and didn't stand out at all. They were all fellow villagers, so they had a familiar familiarity. In contrast, Wen Zhixia was much more restrained and a little unable to let go.

"Nan Nan, are there any boys chasing you at school?" Wu Yu asked calmly at the dinner table. She felt that the atmosphere of the Zhou family was relatively open and not as conservative as a small family in this regard.

Zhou Nan pouted, "Much older."

"Did you agree?"

"How is that possible? A bunch of toads. They are not as good as my brother. I don't like them."

"Hehe, that's right."

Zhou Nan pursed her lips and snickered, "Sister Xiaoyu, my brother said you were the school beauty in high school and his first love."

Wu Yu pursed her lips, glanced at Zhou Buqi, her face was rosy, and she pulled her hair around her ears, "Who knows, I didn't even talk to him when I was in high school. There were a lot of boys around me, and I was confused.

No one was interested in me. As a result... As a result, we became alumni again when we got to university. So, never choose this kind of thing casually. The truly right person will definitely be waiting for you somewhere in the future.

Use time to test yourself and identify love."

Wen Zhixia is not very good at popularizing the concept of love to her sister, but Wu Yu is very good at this kind of work.

Zhou Nan blinked and said "oh" in a half-understanding manner.
