Zhou talks about traditional industry videos.

When 360 was in full swing, people talked about 360, and the main keywords were "wolf nature" and "flat management". This kind of sound volume reached the hottest level after it went on the market at 20 1 1 year 360. Internet practitioners describe the corporate culture of 360 as a paradise where people can do things without worrying about any bureaucratic factors. People also awarded the title of "Best Product Manager" to Zhou.

Things have changed. Looking back ten years later, you will feel a little vicissitudes. The best product manager in China has spent money on Zhang Xiaolong. Whether 360 is a wolf is unknown, but the presence of the product is getting weaker and weaker. We can only increase downloads by treating white users as "broilers" on Android phones.

Baidu was an opponent a week ago, but Baidu is now changing the track and focusing on AI. Zhou can no longer feel the feeling of shooting when he catches his opponent. The railing was photographed all over, but no one responded. This is the deepest pain of a former lean man.

Being thrown away by Lei Jun,

This doomed Zhou's loneliness.

There are many stories about why Zhou made bad friends with Lei Jun. This is a comparison between two good students. Zhou can't accept that Lei Jun is better than himself.

I have been playing in the tool software industry for so long that I haven't got a Jianghu seat. But when Lei Jun saw the trajectory of the mobile phone, the whole logic of the story changed. Lei Jun made a mobile phone, perhaps because he saw Huaqiang North's powerful cottage ability, or because he saw the encouragement given by Meizu's success. In short, this Lei Jun gambled correctly.

When two marketing experts look at each other, what they think most may be that they are both thousand-year-old foxes. What are they talking about? Lei Jun's sincerity to users must be a manifestation in Zhou's view. Lei Jun was indeed scolded several times in his early years. It is this total contempt for strategy and tactics that makes Zhou enjoy the vanity brought by fame. The old rival Lei Jun has completely unloaded the burden of honor and once again invested in new entrepreneurial projects.

When Xiaomi's mobile phone achieved something, Zhou didn't react, and Lei Jun played a big game. Others follow the traditional Internet thinking and inertia, hoping to use a certain software or a certain function point to get tickets to the mobile Internet, but Lei Jun's method seems to be sharp-edged-you make software, I make mobile phones, and one day you will all cross my "highway".

360phone

Therefore, after Michao died, Xiaomi basically did not spend any energy on software, all in product (experience) and marketing. When Zhou understood the importance of the mobile phone, it was not too late to see the opportunity, but after repeated battles and defeats, he ended up in a mess.

On April 20 16, Zhou also sent an internal letter to the 360 mobile phone team, drawing a pie of "going public within three years". By 2019,360, the mobile phone was basically confirmed dead. So far, the outside world has basically not heard Zhou talking about mobile Internet and products.

It seems that after losing my mobile phone, there is no bright moment in Zhou. The last time I remember it was a conversation between Zhou and Luo Yonghao. Two people who used to be very grumpy showed peace through rain or shine. However, Lao Luo, with his True Story, has become the godfather of live broadcast in the entrepreneurial wave because he has converged some idealistic temperament. However, after successive failures, Zhou seems to be pushed out.

Losing qi xiangdong,

This is the biggest failure in Zhou's life.

In July last year, Qi Xiangdong and Qi Anxin were officially listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. After being the "second-in-command" and behind-the-scenes role for so long, Qi Xiangdong finally came to the stage and ushered in his own highlight moment. As an old partner who has fought side by side for more than ten years, Zhou has nothing to say about it.

According to public information, Qihoo Anxin was formerly known as "Qihoo 360 Enterprise Security Group" and was established on 20 14. It is an important layout of 360 B-side business and perpendicular to the B-side market of government and enterprise security. Later, from 2065438 to April 2009, Chixin broke away from the 360 system, and Qi Xiangdong and Zhou officially "separated".

How kind is Qi Xiangdong? Qihoo 360 was first established in 2005, and its chairman is Qi Xiangdong, which means that he is the real founder of 360.

At that time, after leaving Yahoo China, Zhou went to be an angel investor, and most of his projects failed. In the end, I can only return to 360 and take over the post of chairman from Qi Xiangdong. First, the angel wheel of 360 was voted by Zhou, and other investors voted for 360 only because of Zhou's face; Secondly, Qi Xiangdong has been following Zhou's old partner since 372 1.

Qi Xiangdong

This is Qi Xiangdong, who comes first and then arrives, and his loyalty is not beyond the moment. For the development of 360, I actively cooperated with the rewriting of 360 company story clues. You know, before turning to the Internet to start a business, Qi Xiangdong was once the youngest department-level cadre of Xinhua News Agency and the first department-level cadre to resign and work in an Internet company. It is enough to see this person's strategic vision and strategic determination.

In Xinhua News Agency, Qi Xiangdong worked 17, participated in key construction projects of Xinhua News Agency such as "Three Networks and One Database" and "Xinhua 2000 Communication Project", and served as the main personnel and sub-project leader. During this period, Qi Xiangdong met Zhou, who worked hard in the north for many years and finally started his own business. A child dares to play cool outside, because he has a powerful father. And an entrepreneur who jumps on the stage dares to challenge all his opponents. The high probability is that he has a good partner who can cover for him. Qi Xiangdong has been acting as such a "daughter-in-law" behind the scenes, which makes the brand of 360 deeply bound to Zhou.

Even though 360 landed on Nasdaq, Qi Xiangdong didn't go to the bell ringing ceremony to defend the rear. But in retrospect, this statement is also a decent statement. How long can a mature company "second in command" delay ringing the bell? Zhou has become more and more petty, because power and honor have become accustomed to it. Qi Xiangdong led Qi Anxin to go public. Supposedly, our basic etiquette week should be estimated, and he should congratulate and bless.

The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of the Internet industry, which is almost the axis of the development of Internet enterprises in China. Many rebellious heroes have emerged, and the wheels of the times are rolling forward. Whether it is a company or an entrepreneur, ups and downs are normal.

However, few people are as belligerent as Zhou. The wave of mobile internet is almost like a touchstone, which makes all those who can say but can't do reveal their true colors. For example, in Zhou's Hong Yi, the clown turned out to be himself.
