Although Chen Yiyang responded promptly.
The rise in 369's stock price had just shown so signs of an upward trend, but it retraced because of Chen Yiyang's denial.
However, the approachable public persona Zhou Hongyi has cultivated over the years is still very effective. So uninford netizens actually turned around and accused Chen Yiyang of overreacting and not respecting his seniors.
Chen Yiyang, of course, couldn't directly explain all the intricacies involved, so he had to respect these netizens and Zhou Hongyi publicly, while buying more shares of 369 in the future.
After all, Zhou Hongyi made a groundbreaking move in the dostic stock market by cashing out during his divorce, which led the governnt to formally stipulate that divorce cannot be used as an excuse for cashing out, thereby establishing a new regulation in the dostic stock trading circles.
Nevertheless, the conflict between Chen Yiyang and Zhou Hongyi was known by many dostically.
Wu Changxun even called specifically.
"Haha, my dear brother. This is exactly how you should deal with soone like Zhou Hongyi, don't show rcy."
"This guy is still pleading on the internet, saying he just wants to communicate with a rising star in the business sector, insisting there's no other intent."
"Don't say anymore." Chen Yiyang said helplessly on the phone, "If I had known in advance there'd be so much trouble, I wouldn't have even answered his call."
"Do you want to release so dirt on Zhou Hongyi online, stir up so public opinion to counterattack? Tengxu can offer you a discounted rate on all of our social dia platforms."
"No, thanks." As soon as Chen Yiyang heard there'd be a fee, he refused outright.
But from this incident, it beca evident that Tengxu had truly let go of Zhou Hongyi, otherwise in the past, Tengxu would have been spending out of pocket to sar Zhou Hongyi.
But now, Tengxu has already abandoned competing against 369 with its own security software. Nowadays, Tengxu's guardian relinquished security to Microsoft, outsourcing its virus database, and only maintaining the guardian service updates independently.
Of course, 369 is even more outrageous. When 369 had disputes with Tengxu back then, they used the excuse of QQ's infringent on user privacy.
Originally, this excuse wasn't problematic.
But the issue was that 369 didn't shy away from infringing privacy themselves, and didn't act clean either.
Later, 369 search launched a public opinion battle, exposing Qian Du for using paid search to facilitate disreputable hospitals.
As a result, when Qian Du, pressured by public opinion, stopped providing paid search for disreputable hospitals, 369 turned around and took over, profiting from paid search for disreputable hospitals.
A bunch of scoundrels.
So Chen Yiyang considered whether he should invest in developing a pure search engine himself?
Admittedly, search engines that don't adopt paid rankings and advertisents indeed don't make money currently, but he still has DeepSeek.
By combining a search engine with DeepSeek, one can create an integrated AI Q&A and search software.
Regarding search, Chen Yiyang plans not to add advertisents, but intends to add hot keywords and similar ads on the search bar's sidebar or bottom to generate so inco.
The reason why the search engine market hasn't experienced significant changes for years.
Is primarily due to the difficulty in entering the market, high investnt, and criticism in the process of monetization.
Therefore, other tech giants are unwilling to sacrifice their reputation for money and traffic, while small companies cannot compete with Qian Du.
But Chen Yiyang feels he need not worry about these issues.
As an erging tech giant, Chen Yiyang has a plethora of valuable companies under his belt, but he's always been lacking in traffic.
Creating a search engine to aid traffic growth seems like a good idea.
Chen Yiyang discussed this idea with his assistant team, instructing them to prepare a plan.
anwhile, in Morocco, he received another tip-off.
Today's intel on Africa's network developnt: A group of dostic entrepreneurs intends to start a browser company in Africa, investing in them now is a bargain.
Contact details of relevant individuals are attached on the second page.
Starting a browser company in Africa?
Chen Yiyang found this intel intriguing but couldn't quite grasp it.
The dostic and international browser market is already established.
Is there any future in investing in browsers in Africa?
Even if Africans want to use a browser, they'd likely follow the trend and use those few mainstream foreign browsers.
However.
Chen Yiyang thought of Transsion.
Back then, Transsion succeeded when everyone thought the dostic and international mobile phone markets were fixed, but they charted a new path in Africa.
Although Chen Yiyang has already sold off all his shares in Transsion, he still holds in high regard enterprises daring to invest in the African market.
Despite Africa's slow market developnt, it ans once a firm foothold is established in the African market, they can earn stable profits for many years.
Moreover, with Africa's multitude of countries, large companies can leverage monopolies and even make governnts yield operational concessions.
As Chen Yiyang was contemplating how to contact the other party.
The hotel front desk employee called him, saying there were two individuals outside hoping to et him.
"What's their identity?" Chen Yiyang inquired.
"They claim to be entrepreneurs from Huaxia interested in promoting and developing a browser in Africa."
What?
What a coincidence.
Chen Yiyang didn't expect that as he was planning to contact them, they would approach him instead.
"Let them co up, and help book a room in the reception hall."
Chen Yiyang certainly wouldn't et them in his hotel room.
High-end hotels typically have reception hall services available.
He instructed the attendant to prepare a room in the reception hall and ordered so local specialty tea drinks.
Upon arriving at the reception hall, the two individuals had been waiting for quite so ti.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
These two greeted Chen Yiyang enthusiastically upon seeing him.
"Introduce yourselves." Chen Yiyang casually sat down on the sofa.
Nowadays, he ets these young entrepreneurs with increasing poise and casualness, feeling an internal sense of seniority in the business world.
Of course, most of the entrepreneurs Chen Yiyang ets are indeed much older than him.
"Mr. Chen, my na is Zhou Tian, and he is Yu Han."
It seed Zhou Tian was the leader, as he introduced their nas and explained why they ca to the hotel seeking Chen Yiyang.
"We saw Mr. Zhou's short video and realized you were in Morocco. So we went to the most luxurious hotel in Morocco asking if there was a Huaxia boss nad Chen.
We never imagined we'd actually et you!"
If they hadn't ntioned it, Chen Yiyang wouldn't have known Zhou Hongyi's short video disclosed his activities in Morocco.
He didn't know if it was intentional or accidental.
However, it didn't matter anymore.
Upon returning to China, Chen Yiyang planned to develop a search engine, aiming first at replacing the 369 search.
