Chapter 16: Diverting Trouble to Others

Cao Shen is still busy with his evaluation work.

Since the "Cao Shen is here" column was launched, the number of fans on Huhu, Weibo, and blogs, which originally had few real fans, suddenly skyrocketed, and they all gathered on Technology Deep Throat.

The evaluation area is getting more and more lively. There are not only investors who work hard every day, but also competitors who black each other.

Where there is traffic, there is never a shortage of people who want to take advantage of the popularity.

Therefore, Technology Deep Throat opened another place for amateurs to submit their own works.

It is called "UP Master Evaluation Zone".

For a time, UP master became a hot word, and various styles of application evaluations also flourished, including funny, complaining, and eating.

Technology Deep Throat decisively arranged the UP original incentive plan, and the official gave money to high-quality content and UP masters.

And Cao Shen's personal complaints no longer need to be forwarded by himself, and naturally there are a large number of other media or bloggers who work hard to "wash manuscripts".

This system also gives life, which Cao Shen naturally wants.

For entrepreneurs, they love and hate the deep throat of technology.

On the one hand, they can laugh at competitors, step on them, and learn lessons.

On the other hand, they are afraid of being named by the god of complaints, but they are also looking forward to it.

They are afraid of being criticized too badly, but they also want to know the evaluation of the god of complaints, and they can also get the attention of investors if they are on the list.

High popularity can also attract some users to their own applications.

But in the end, they still hope to be criticized by the god of complaints. After all, if the god of complaints does not mention you, it means that what you do is too unpopular.

So, everyone is asking privately, who is the god of complaints?

Can you buy him off with money...

There is a rumor that the god of complaints is Cao Shen.

Although the name is homophonic, this view has been unanimously denied.

This god of complaints updates hundreds of reviews every day, which is basically what he can do if he stays up for 24 hours.

Cao Shen also has to develop products and research technology, so he can't have this time!

So, who is the god of complaints?

"Please add an APP download function to my website, and directly link to the developer's official website for download."

[No, it can only be an information website, not transactions and payments! ]

The system adheres to the principles and refuses sternly.

"No transactions, only free downloads, no payment links."

[No, even if there is no payment, this is still a zero-yuan transaction! ]

The system is determined not to be fooled, look!

How much work has it done for Cao thieves for free!

"If I provide fun videos online, users want to download them for free?"

[This is possible]

"Oh, I see, the same content, videos can be downloaded, but applications cannot.

You are simply a system without principles, double standards, and deliberately targeting me!

How can a system be made like you? It's simply too shameful for the system!"

[No!

[I am a system with principles, ideals, rationality, and clear right and wrong! ]

"Do you think you have principles, ideals, and clear right and wrong!

Or, you can't make the application download function at all!"

[No! Possible! 】

Cao Shen was relieved, he could download...

Tech Deep Throat now provides app downloads,

directly linked to the developer's website!

Backflow to developers! Backflow to users!

No app store to take advantage of you!

So touching! Free volume to users!

How precious!

For a while, apps that cost one or ten yuan in other app stores were free for a limited time in Tech Deep Throat!

The reason for the limited time is that the developers are not stupid, they can't offend other app stores.

As for how long the limited time is, well, it's hard to say...

Users are of course happy to hear about the opportunity to get free tickets, and they spread the word.

What's even more shocking is that I don't know what kind of black technology Tech Deep Throat has used. When downloading apps here, the app package is less than one-tenth the size of other places, but the app experience is exactly the same!

Game apps are excited. Their game app packages are hundreds of megabytes, and the traffic fee is so expensive, which is simply a gap that hinders users from downloading!

After hearing the good news, the game companies came in large numbers and released it first on Tech Deep Throat!

So Cao Shen opened a special game application section called TUTU.

Zhang Beixin received a lawyer's letter from TT, and TT officially announced the lawyer's letter on major social networks.

His heart tightened, and he immediately called Cao Shen: "Look, TT is going to sue us!"

After taking a look at TT's lawyer's letter, Cao Shen didn't care at all.

TT, as a company, sends at least 200 lawyer's letters every year, just like a dog peeing everywhere to mark its territory.

Besides, in lawsuits such as infringement of trade secrets and unfair competition, the plaintiff has to provide evidence himself.

Let TT company do the work.

Although this incident did not lead to Cao Shen being sued, it was disgusting enough.

As an Internet giant, TT made such a big move, so naturally some developers would be deterred from using Tongcao Technology's open source products.

In just these few days, the number of new daily active users and APP outsourcing in the system has decreased significantly.

Tongcao Technology's open source products are very good, but what if they lose the lawsuit and are banned?

By then, you will have your own users and have spent marketing expenses, so the loss will be huge.

This is a risk, so be cautious.

Many developers have paid serious attention to this matter. Many developers have left messages on GitH's open source software download page to inquire about the situation.

Investors on the other side have also been alerted. The coveted hot cakes a few days ago were suddenly sent a lawyer's letter by TT.

This risk is very high. TT is such a big company. There are still many ways to curb the development of a small company.

It's a pity. In fact, it's good for Tongcao Technology to be acquired by TT. After all, Cao Shen is so young.

Stay in TT for a few years, wait for the "imprisonment" period stipulated in the acquisition agreement to expire, and then start a business.

The acquisition money has been obtained, the background of a large company has been obtained, and people have become more mature. Starting a business is more favored by the capital market.

Young people, just too ambitious.

Tongcao Technology is a new small company. In fact, there are only three core employees in the company, Cao Shen, Zhang Beixin and the system.

Although the system does not have a penny of salary, considering that it has contributed money and effort, it is barely given a title.

It is not easy for a small company to directly compete with industry giants.

Rules often do not stand on the side of reason, and the rules themselves are established by power.

So, Cao Shen carefully studied the Internet giants in this world.

Well, it is not his style not to fight back when being beaten.

Lin Hai, CEO of Giant Lion, has been very worried and angry recently, and this emotion has made his belly swell.

Just after sending off a group of people from the top international investment bank Datie, Lin Hai slammed the door of the office.

"What the hell! A bunch of pretentious people who don't even move their farts!"

Giant Lion is recently seeking to go public in the United States and has found the well-known investment bank Datie to be its securities firm.

He expects the market value of Giant Lion to be 1.5 billion US dollars. The company he has raised with his own hands is worth this price no matter how you look at it.

But the capital market does not recognize it, and the price given by the cornerstone investors keeps falling.

Every time Datie comes here, he finds all kinds of reasons to bargain!

Who the hell are you collecting money from!

The reasons for bargaining always make Lin Hai, a hot-tempered person, very angry:

You mainly make network security products. In the United States, security products are sold in sets, but yours is free.

You are a network security company, but more than 70% of your income comes from advertising.

As for your browser products, more than 90% of your income comes from your navigation homepage.

In addition, some of your income comes from joint operation of web games.

None of your income is related to security products, but security products are your main business.

The US capital market simply cannot understand your business model.

The US stock trading market is different from our domestic market. More than 80% of them are institutions.

If institutions don’t understand your business model, they won’t trade your stocks, and stocks that are not traded lack liquidity.

Without liquidity, it’s dead in your hands. If you sell a little, it will fall. This is a vicious cycle.

Or, think about it again?

It’s best if your products and business models can be matched among the listed giants, saying that you are the so-and-so in the United States. In this way, the capital market will understand it immediately, and you won’t have to worry about selling your stocks.

Also, Mr. Lin, the market share of Jushi's "Computer Manager" on the computer side has been declining in the past two years. TT's "Computer Guard" has posed a certain threat to you by relying on the huge TT user base.

This is something that investors are very reluctant to see.

In addition, although your mobile assistant has developed well, it is still burning money and has no profit model yet.

One by one, the bargaining reasons have caused the psychological price of the original market value of 1.5 billion to be cut again and again.

Seeing the offer of 1.2 billion US dollars, investors still don't want to pay.

Lin Hai is simply depressed!

He finally got users through the free "Computer Manager" and then made money through advertising, but these people can't understand it!

If you can't understand it, you can't make a financial model, and if you can't make a financial model, you can't write a profit forecast.

Without a profit forecast, you dare not buy stocks!

Can't do the math!

A bunch of dead ghosts!

The Internet is about innovation. I have figured it out, so why do it!

Who the hell can I be like?

Can you Americans come up with this way of making money by paying for the wool from the pig!

Open Tech Deep Throat to see if the foreigner has done anything recently that he can lean on, and find some inspiration.

I was very upset, and the mouse in my hand was slapping loudly.

Tech Deep Throat is a new technology website, but it suits Lin Hai's taste very well.

Especially the column "The God of Scams is Here". Every time Lin Hai sees other companies' products being exposed, he feels happy.

Lin Hai is a very temperamental entrepreneur, and he is also very irritable.

He also likes to criticize people, especially the joy of making people speechless, and criticizes those competitors who are both right and wrong. It feels great!

But the company is going to go public, based on Lin Hai's previous black history of spitting on social networks.

The public relations department repeatedly emphasized that he should keep a low profile recently, and keep a low profile and speak less.

After all, as the leader of the company, image and personality are very important.

Even the assistant went out of his way to buy him a bracelet, so that he could not help but count the beads.

As for where the beads are, they were torn off and bounced away when the big iron company came to bargain for the second time.

Lin Hai felt very frustrated and uncomfortable.

He could only relieve his depression through "Cao Shen Lai Le".

Suddenly, his eyes lit up!

The "The God of Groove Is Coming" column on the home page has a particularly long article today:

"Inventory, the top ten Internet giants in China"

Giant Lion Network ranked seventh.

A strong wind of complaints came to my face:

What is it about Jushi Technology that originally started out as a rogue software company, but then later became a security product to launder its reputation, and then sold out its former accomplices?

But different skin, same taste.

Under the guise of security, rogue software is used.

It used the slogan that computers have viruses and loopholes to intimidate users, forcing them to install Computer Manager. It quickly gained a large number of users and occupied more than 80% of the domestic free security software market.

Then, they use the same tactics as rogue software, selling advertisements, sending colored pop-ups, and collecting black money to force users to install other client software...

The most important thing is that there is a line at the end of the article that makes Lin Hai enlightened:

There are many companies that covertly infringe on user privacy and secretly install products based on the applications that users have installed. It is simply a bad trend among these Internet giants!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Lin Hai laughed. He couldn't find a target, but he could step on it!

This is just like the rivalry between celebrities, with the little flower posting notices against the big flower and secretly comparing them.

After stepping on it, people are accustomed to compare them with big flowers!

Which client has the most users in China?

Hahahaha, it must be TT with a market value of 30 billion US dollars and one billion TT users.

Lin Hai rolled up his sleeves and got to work!

As for Tech Deep Throat, send him a lawyer's letter for defamation!

No, wait!

After all, this is the media, a mouthpiece, and we can't be the first to send him a lawyer's letter.

It's about to start a war of words. It would be better to have one less enemy.

Of course, if other companies also send legal letters, Jushi will send them again!

The enemy of your enemy is your friend, unite all the forces that can be united.

Eight thirty in the evening is the peak time for computer use at night.

Almost at the same time, a small window popped up on the computer for all users who had installed Jushi Computer Manager and TT:

[High risk warning, your TT is peeking into the user's private files and data without the authorization of the account administrator! 】

Users exploded!

Most of TT's employees were not the first to know the news, including the president MC, because in line with the principle of political correctness, TT's employees installed "TT Computer Guard" on their computers.

But, Zhang Da saw it!

As a former product manager, he maintains the habit of experiencing competing products.

He was very angry.

As an Internet giant and the company with the largest number of users, TT has not had anyone dare to confront it for many years!

He immediately picked up the phone and said, "Look! Look! This is a provocation!"

MC, who was about to discuss work with his new love, was shirtless and confused.

In an instant, all interest was extinguished.

Rush to the computer, what the hell are you looking at!

Zhang Da on the other end of the phone got even more angry after not receiving any feedback for a long time!

"Computer! We've been screwed by that little giant lion!" Zhang Da was so anxious that he uttered a curse word that he didn't know much about.

Product managers are inherently protective of their own products. This is offensive! I stepped on Zhang Da’s tail!

MC quickly opened the online search and entered keywords.

My whole body trembled, cold!
