More and more companies are entering the search field.

It's really tough.

On this track, there are not only international giants like Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo, but also domestic hegemons like Baidu, Sina, and Sohu. What should we do?

Rushing upward in waves, it is really brave and fearless.

However, recently a search company has suddenly become popular - Kuxun.

What we do is the vertical field of life-oriented search - travel search. In fact, this search platform has not been launched yet, but it has launched a new function that has detonated the entire network - buying train tickets.

This is a surprising discovery for college students.

Before school started, Kuxun.com contacted Xiaonei.com and planned to cooperate with each other to allow Kuxun.com to enter the Xiaonei.com system and serve college students across the country.

Guo Pengfei agreed on the spot, but was pushed back by Shi Jinglin.

Reported to Zhou Buqi.

"this……"

Zhou Buqi hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Buying train tickets online is not a difficult operation, right?"

Guo Pengfei opened his eyes wide, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and shook his head, "Go and ask Zhang Yiming."

It's a coincidence.

A few years ago, it was too difficult to buy train tickets because of the Spring Festival travel rush. Zhang Yiming spent more than half an hour in his spare time writing a small program that could use algorithms to realize computer network ticket grabbing.

Then, this small program was circulated within the friends network, and everyone used this small program to grab tickets.

Zhou Buqi knew about this.

However, we are worried that this operation is not compliant at this stage and may violate relevant legal regulations, so there is no large-scale promotion.

Unexpectedly, Kuxun.com became the first website to become popular after the New Year by relying on its tactic of grabbing train tickets!

Relevant state departments did not impose sanctions.

This shows that this kind of operation is reasonable and legal at this time.

Then you're welcome!

Of course, there are more coincidences, and Zhou Buqi is not sure.

In his previous life, Zhang Yiming failed to start a business with his senior brother after graduation, and then joined a company, Kuxun.com, as the chief technology officer. This small program for buying train tickets was created by him.

"Ticket grabbing software? It's very easy. As long as you have a certain understanding of crawling search technology, you can make it. The more troublesome thing is the interface of the ticket purchase website. Once you find it correctly, use a separate cookie container for each process...

If you purchase tickets individually, you can save all this and just send a request directly. It’s not a big problem to grab dozens or hundreds of tickets in one second.”

Zhang Yiming explained the principle clearly in a few words.

Guo Pengfei opened his eyes wide, "Independent cookies? Doesn't that mean that you can purchase tickets in multiple processes? Log in with multiple accounts?"

"certainly."

"Is this what scalpers do? Grab hundreds or thousands of tickets at once, and then sell them to migrant workers at high prices during the Spring Festival?"

"Uh..." Zhang Yiming paused, "Aren't scalpers that high-end? They should be colluding internally and externally. But once the ticket-grabbing software is made public, the scalpers in the future may become more technological."

Guo Pengfei was helpless, "It has been made public, and Kuxun.com has become popular."

"What did Lao Zhou say?"

"He said there is no need to cooperate. Xiaonei.com can launch its own ticket grabbing platform and open it to college students across the country."

"Well, it should be." Zhang Yiming nodded, "But there is no need to open multiple processes. Tickets can only be purchased in a single process and a single account at a time. This can be regarded as solving a major trouble for college students to travel."

Guo Pengfei said: "Well, let's do that. You can send me the code later."

"How about tomorrow? I'll take time tonight to optimize it for you." Zhang Yiming saw that Xiao Guo didn't know much about search technology.

Guo Pengfei smiled awkwardly, "Okay."

…

There is no 12306 website yet, so you can complete online ticket grabbing through search-related technical means.

Zhou Buqi was very emotional.

Increasingly interested in search technology.

He decided that if he couldn't put it off like this, he had to talk to Zhou Hongyi.

After making an appointment for two days, Zhou Hongyi took the initiative to come to the door.

"This office design is quite different."

Seeing this row of transparent executive offices, Zhou Hongyi was full of praise. When she opened her eyes, she could even see the situation three offices away.

Everything is transparent and no one has any secrets.

Zhou Buqi also complained endlessly about this kind of office design, but it happened, so he could only accept it, and said with a calm smile: "In a startup company, everyone works together, it is open and transparent, and there is no difference between executives and ordinary employees. If it weren't for some

Company secrets need to be soundproofed, not even offices.”

"fine."

Zhou Hongyi nodded, quite appreciative.

Zhou Buqi asked his secretary to make tea. The secretary was Zhao Xinyan, who looked very ordinary. Because she had to work part-time as a bodyguard and driver, she was also dressed very conservatively and was not sexy at all.

After she made tea and left, Zhou Hongyi became more and more appreciative. She gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay! It can be seen from the selection of this secretary that you are going to do big things."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "What big thing are we doing? We've been fooled and we're still in the dark."

"Are you talking about me? It's not that serious."

Zhou Hongyi has obvious shortcomings. He is single-minded and stubborn, and will often resort to any means to achieve his goals. In his previous life, he made free safety products. What a great thing, and people all over the country must support him. As a result

Within a few years, he relapsed into his old ways and resorted to the same tactics as in 3721. The dragon slayer turned into an evil dragon.

But the advantages are also obvious.

I mean, I have a straightforward personality, I am honest, I say whatever I say, and I don’t do things that are different in person, so being friends is pretty good.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Do you really want to be safe?"

"Well, I thought about it two years ago... You should know, right? I bought my domain name from you."

"You know, you know. Can the current situation be the same as before? Micropoint Security Guard and Micropoint Antivirus have already dug into the profit pool of this market and have dominated this market. At this time, you still dig in,

Head iron?"

Zhou Hongyi said firmly: "I must do safety. Let me tell you something about myself. When I was in college, I wrote a virus program, which locked all the computers in the laboratory. Teacher

They said that if I handed over the code, I would be exempted from punishment. After graduation, I started my own business five or six times in a row, all of which were for anti-virus, but failed. Then I went to Founder, and then I left my job to start a business doing Chinese search.

"

Zhou Buqi shook his head disapprovingly, "When did that happen?"

Zhou Hongyi said: "Not long after I joined Yahoo, I regretted it and came up with the idea of ​​​​starting a business. My strategic thinking is different from that of Yahoo headquarters... Americans don't understand China, and they are completely blind. In July last year

After resigning, my idea is to continue the search along the 3721 route. If the search is not good, I will do security. If the security is not good, then I will surrender my gun."

Zhou Buqi frowned, "So, there is no room for maneuver?"

Zhou Hongyi said: "No, we have found venture capital institutions. Sequoia Capital, CDH Ventures and IDG will dilute 20% of the shares and raise US$20 million."

"So many?" Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, "A company that failed in search and has no performance at all is valued at US$100 million? Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Hongyi's face showed a bit of arrogance, and she pointed to her chest, "Because I will come back and become the chairman and CEO of Qihoo Company."

This is not surprising.

The name "Zhou Hongyi" has a valuation of US$100 million in the capital market, which is not high.

Zhou Buqiqi said: "Are you going to work at Qihoo? Didn't you leave Yahoo in July last year? The period of the non-competition agreement is up?"

Zhou Hongyi smiled and said: "Not yet, but the direction has changed."

"Um?"

"The dedication agreement with Yahoo prohibited me from engaging in search-related work within the next year. So I did not go to Qihoo and cooperated with IDG as an angel investor. But now things have changed. Qihoo's search business has not been completed. This

Businesses will be cut off and transformed into security products. This is not inconsistent with the non-competition agreement."

Zhou Buqi's heart moved, and he tentatively said: "Can a group of search people do security work? Is the technology direction different? I heard that in the past six months since Yahoo China was acquired by Alibaba, Qihoo has successively acquired Yahoo!

Over in China, half of the employees have been recruited.”

It sounds immoral.

This kind of thing is something that Zhou Hongyi can do without any professional ethics. Wang Haoyang and He Yang are very taboo about poaching people from their old clubs. Unless they want to leave, they will make connections.

Zhou Hongyi saw through his meaning at a glance, half-smiling but not smiling, "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly and said bravely: "Since Qihu won't do the search anymore, why not just leave your search team to me."

"You want to do a search too?"
