Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 507 4Q War

All users who updated Century Computer Manager, when they enabled the privacy protection function, were surprised to find that the user's hard drive files could be accessed by QQ after running for just a few minutes.

There are hundreds of items unrelated to chatting, including a large number of private photos, documents and online banking data.

Century Computer Manager will also thoughtfully display how many files have been viewed and how many of them involve user privacy. The categories are simple and easy to understand, and there are even small icons for each category.

Other system files were fine, and ordinary people didn’t quite understand them, so they just scanned them. But as soon as personal photos and online banking came out, netizens went crazy and started a wave of criticism against QQ.

Moreover, Century Computer Butler even frantically collaborated with Orange Technology to launch a campaign of "Post pictures and get an oPhone".

"Any netizen who provides a screenshot of Century Computer Manager’s privacy scan about QQ’s snooping privacy can participate in the lottery after posting the picture. The grand prize is an oPhone, with no upper limit!"

As soon as the announcement came out, especially for one company, combined with the previous loss of Audition players, some netizens gradually came to understand.

The first brother and the second brother of the online game are fighting, which makes them even more excited. After all, fishermen like them benefit from the snipe and the clam.

This means that their own private data has always been in danger.

"This time, I'm very proud of myself. Well done. I've long been displeased with plagiarism."

"If there is a wave of trouble, just support it. Century Zongheng has won. It is not a good thing for one family to dominate. This is the behavior of all capitalists."

"Have you not read the news? Century Zongheng donated 5 million yuan, but it still has a conscience."

"The wool is in the sheep. If I play games and add money to Century Zongheng, and Century Zongheng donates, it means I have donated."

"You can play 666 with equal amounts of substitution, I learned it! Then I also donated several hundred."

"The melon seeds and mineral water are being sold in the front row. Do you want anything?"

"What should I do? I am looking forward to the development of things more and more. It feels more exciting than playing games."

"Century VS Kou Kou, let's call it the World Kou Kou War."

"What a World Knockout War? It's so hard to say. Wouldn't it be over with just 4Q?"

The media circle also started to revel in the carnival. This was a big achievement, and they were adding fuel to the fire. There were endless reports, and they were all written in red.

For a time, the Internet was dominated by news about the 4Q war, even faintly overshadowing the disaster and the Olympics.

Century Computer Manager's move added fuel to the fire, and the direct result was a surge in the number of QQ uninstalls.

In the first round of the 4Q battle, it was a close fight and a small victory of the century.

Tengxun urgently issued a statement on its official website. Due to the limited influence of Tengxun.com, Xiao Ma even ordered the use of pop-up windows to increase the intensity of communication.

On June 6, many users who installed QQ found a pop-up prompt in the lower right corner.

"Recently, a company's computer manager launched a privacy protection function and accused our software of snooping on user privacy. Therefore, we solemnly declare"

"A company acts as both a referee and a player. How can it be said to be honest? Don't listen to one side of the story or be deceived by a villain's one-sided speech."

"Under the guise of protecting security, we induce users to install their own software, while at the same time framing their peers' software."

On June 6th, YY will enter the venue, play when you are ready~play~play~

Not only does YY pop up a window, this window is also placed in the center of the screen, and it is enlarged and widened, occupying the entire screen, making it difficult for users to not see it.

The content goes through all the "glorious deeds" of a certain company since its establishment. It is too numerous to describe, and it cannot fit on one screen. In the end, I have no choice but to leave a link to the detailed special page.

Teng Xun discovered YY's behavior and found that the other party was even more shameless than him, so he immediately imitated him.

At first, the two of them used a certain company to refer to each other, with some restraint. Later, they broke down and stopped pretending. They directly called each other by name and insulted each other. The targets of the pop-up windows also range from the group to the product, and from the product to the CEO. It is a 360-degree firepower coverage without blind spots.

"It is rumored that the boss of Century Zongheng has a group of hackers, and he often takes revenge on his friends and businessmen as his mission."

"Relevant sources broke the news that Tengxun CEO is worth tens of billions and is still receiving affordable housing subsidies."

"Teng Xun is shameless. Hearsay comments come out of his mouth. If there is no evidence, it is slander."

"That's not affordable housing, that's a subsidy for the introduction of outstanding talents."

Slander, spread rumors, refute rumors, clarify.

The pop-up war has opened the eyes of the vast number of netizens and shattered their views. The melons are coming one after another. As a result, they have stopped reading news online these days. They can eat just by watching the pop-ups, and they also divide into camps and start teams.

High-end business wars, turbulence, stock market turmoil, and hacker wars in movies and TV dramas

The two companies' remote spats through YY and QQ software were no different from the aunts on the street yelling at each other to back off.

The reality of business war is so simple and unpretentious.

Since the number of registered users of YY in the instant messaging market has reached 3 million, while QQ only has 1 million, it is not of the same order of magnitude at all.

After a few days of spraying, Teng Xun realized that it was not cost-effective to use one's own shortcomings to attack another's strong points.

Therefore, Teng Xun took the lead in changing his tactics and announced the end of the pop-up water battle in the second round of the 4Q war. Both sides had a winner and a draw.

On June 6, Tengxun officially announced that it would sue Century Security Technology Co., Ltd. for unfair competition in the Beijing HD District Court, requiring the other party to stop the behavior and publicly apologize to the entire network.

At the same time, Kingsoft, Kaspersky, Jiangmin, Rising and other anti-virus companies jointly issued a statement accusing Century Computer Manager of major security vulnerabilities.

This is not over yet. Tengxun has joined forces with Baidu, Alibaba, Kingsoft, as well as a number of second-tier companies such as Aoyou and Keniu to issue a "Joint Statement on Opposing Unfair Competition and Strengthening Industry Self-discipline".

Baidu’s Robin Li didn’t want to get involved in this shit at first, but on the phone, Brother Ma talked about Century Search at the Century Zongheng press conference a few months ago.

Robin Li thought for a long time and finally decided to join it.

In fact, Teng Xun Guangsa's hero post was sent to everyone except Century Zongheng, including NetEase, Sohu and Sina. The three companies' Xiaoma brothers even personally called Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang and Cao Guowei to communicate.

On the surface, these three old foxes were humming, but they didn't tell the truth and were not fooled at all. They acted like the second brother also wanted to command the elder brother, which made Brother Ma feel very angry. Madhu was not a good bird.

There are a few details here. Tengxun did not choose Nanshan District, Shenzhen for prosecution, because cross-territorial execution can only be entrusted and cannot be executed directly at home and in different places, so it can only be sued in the court of the other party's territory.

Brother Xiao Ma has also heard the name of the other party's legal team, Beihai, and he does not expect to win the lawsuit, but to express his position to the public and occupy the moral high ground.

Then the pop-up content creates an image of a victim of small factories being suppressed by big factories. After all, the weak will always get the sympathy of the public.

In the shopping mall, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, unite all the allies that can be united, and finally form a century-old united front under the leadership of Teng Xun.

Since the development of Century Zongheng, many entrepreneurs have been secretly unhappy.

First, online games made huge profits, and then Century Security Guard turned the anti-virus security field upside down, making traditional anti-virus manufacturers hate it, and there were also other Internet companies with potential competition.

After recruiting a group of people with lofty ideals, Xiao Ma, who is strong and strong, has enough confidence and has a sense of deja vu as the leader of the martial arts alliance. Therefore, the joint statement dares to directly target Century Zongheng Group instead of the previous Century Security Technology Company.

These moves directly expanded the 4Q war, and in the third stage, they laid siege to Guangmingding.

　Thanks for accompanying me, and Happy New Year to all readers~
