Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 274 That night, Chen Yang became famous overnight. (Please subscribe)
People who don't know Lao Zhou will definitely think that he looks like a very dull person.

He doesn't even seem very smart.

In fact, in his previous life, Lao Zhou frequently appeared on Douyin (TikTok), and many netizens would often tease him about it.

How can someone with your intelligence have such an appearance?

Ok.

Old Zhou's IQ is absolutely top-notch.

As the father of domestic rogue software, Lao Zhou made his first pot of gold with 3721.

But what goes around comes around.

Although Lao Zhou was doing very well in the business world, when he faced a penguin that was even more ruthless than them, he was forced into a corner.

Penguin, which many people looked down on back then, has now become a super giant.

Zhou, who used to be very successful, is now just a small business unit within Tencent.

Faced with Penguin's rampant imitation.

Old Zhou tried countless methods, but to no avail.

even.

He also reported it to his superiors, saying that Tencent was engaging in monopolistic practices, but there was nothing he could do.

These days.

Old Zhou couldn't sleep for several nights in a row.

He was afraid of waking up one morning.

Their 360 business was thus destroyed.

He also contacted many of his peers.

even.

Zhou Hongyi had already prepared to sell 360 to Tencent.

But later, Lao Zhou discovered that Tencent didn't even consider his 360.

Some even believe that 360 has no value whatsoever.

Yes.

For penguins.

They believed they could create a security software exactly like 360.

Why acquire 360?
"A stingy bodyguard?"

Seeing the discussions about stingy bodyguards on Weibo, Lao Zhou's eyes lit up.

He eagerly began reading a book called "Back to My Youth".

If placed before.

He definitely won't watch it.

It's just a web novel full of wishful thinking.

Although he knew that many online articles had described how he had defeated Tencent and Alibaba, becoming a dominant force in the internet industry.

He has written books like "Rebirth of Internet Hegemony" and "Rebirth of Internet Entertainment".

But in reality, they have nothing they can do.

Even if these main characters are reborn individuals, it still won't work.

At most, these reborn individuals can only make themselves wealthy, with no worries about food or clothing.

To truly dominate the industry, this reborn individual would have to be incredibly powerful even before their rebirth.

otherwise.

Then all we can do is fantasize.

But now Lao Zhou doesn't care about any of that anymore.

Now, he'll grab onto any straw he can find, no matter what.

Don't tell me this is a web novel.

Even if Lao Zhou saw a sign on a telephone pole that said how to kill penguins, he would still want to call and ask.

"Prevent Koukou from automatically downloading software, prevent Koukou from viewing user privacy, disable Koukou's automatic pop-ups, speed up Koukou's upgrades... Goodness, this kid is really wasting his talent writing novels."

The more he looked at Lao Zhou, the more alarmed he became.

Although Lao Zhou believed that this guy didn't understand technology.

He might not even know how to write programs.

But it doesn't matter if you can't write programs.

As long as you have a unique perspective, that's enough.

He had previously seen people on Weibo talking about stingy bodyguards, and some were skeptical.

But after finishing the novel, Lao Zhou was filled with excitement.

He felt that the author's imagination was simply too wild.

Not just big.

Moreover, they have a very strategic vision.

If he were to operate like that, the penguins would absolutely be driven mad.

but.

This will also raise a problem.

What if Tencent really forces users to choose between two options?
Obviously.

Old Zhou certainly doesn't think his 360 can compare to Koukou.

360 is just a security software.

He has countless substitutes.

For example, Rising Antivirus, Kingsoft Antivirus, and a whole bunch of others.

Koukou (a Chinese instant messaging platform) is so useful; without it... forget about entertainment, rest, and chatting.

It's possible that a large number of companies will be unable to conduct their work.

There was no other choice.

In the office, Old Zhou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Check out Professor Chen Yang's contact information."

The author's name is Chen Yang.

A glimmer of hope rekindled in Lao Zhou's heart.

Although he did not know Chen Yang.

But he was completely unaware of Chen Yang's fame.

Chen Yang's previous proposal of "de-globalization" sparked widespread discussion online.

Although many people do not agree with Chen Yang's views, Lao Zhou still admires Chen Yang's strategic vision.

did not expect.

He is also very knowledgeable about the internet.

But think about it.

It seems that although Chen Yang is an author, he has made quite a few achievements on the internet.

Rumor has it that he has snapped up more than 7% of the domestic internet electronic film and television copyrights.

With these copyrights in hand.

Every year thereafter, there will be hundreds of millions in dividends, and it will just sit there without any need for any operations.

This kind of business is far better than what 360 does.

After some inquiries...

Old Zhou found Chen Yang's contact information.

Originally, Lao Zhou wanted to call Chen Yang immediately.

However, he also felt that this might be a bit abrupt.

I thought about it.

Old Zhou first called Chen Tianqiao.

He had some connection with Chen Tianqiao of Shengda.

The relationship isn't very deep, but it would be helpful to ask Chen Tianqiao to do me a favor and introduce us.

……

The next day.

Chen Tianqiao brought Lao Zhou to the Aurora University campus.

However, Chen Yang was typing away.

Although Lao Zhou was extremely anxious, he still waited for two hours until Chen Yang finished typing.

The three of them then met at a coffee shop in Aurora.

"Chen Yang, you were actually typing away just now."

Chen Tianqiao and Chen Yang are old acquaintances.

The two were also fellow students and had a good relationship.

Upon seeing Chen Yang, Chen Tianqiao jokingly said...

Chen Yang nodded: "I really am writing. You know I recently wrote a rebirth novel. Including the one before, I'm doing two at the same time."

"Tsk tsk, speaking of which, your rebirth novel is really amazing. Many people say that your rebirth novels are nonsense. Like the stingy bodyguard in your book, what's going on?"

Upon meeting Chen Yang, Chen Tianqiao asked him several questions in a row.

He was also very curious.

"Look at me, I haven't even introduced you yet. This is Mr. Zhou from 360."

Facing Chen Yang, Chen Tianqiao introduced him, saying, "President Zhou, this is my junior brother, Chen Yang. I believe you know him as well."

Old Zhou nodded and extended his right hand: "Teacher Chen Yang, I am the Old Zhou you mentioned in your novel. Yes, the gang leader."

"Um, um... Mr. Zhou, I was just making things up when I was writing a novel, please don't mind."

"Of course. If I minded, why would I come here? But, Mr. Chen Yang, I really want to ask you for advice. I believe you know that 360 is now at a critical juncture of life and death. Do you think that the 'Koukou Bodyguard' you proposed is really feasible?"

"What do you think?"

"I think it's somewhat feasible, but the risks are huge. What if Tencent really has to choose one of the two options?"

"I think it was mentioned in a novel that if they really dare to choose one of the two options, the higher-ups will intervene."

Old Zhou gave a wry smile: "To be honest, we reported it to the higher-ups before, but they didn't do anything about it."

"Different."

Chen Yang said, "The reason the higher-ups haven't taken action is because their influence isn't strong enough, or it could be for other reasons. If Tencent dared to choose between the two options, I think it would definitely cause a huge public outcry. I don't believe that all netizens or industry peers would tolerate Tencent's actions. Once it sparks nationwide public opinion, the higher-ups will definitely intervene."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

This is the most crucial point.

"Teacher Chen Yang is awesome."

"That's rare." Old Zhou also said "Awesome" to Chen Yang.

"Thank you. Teacher Chen Yang, if 360 survives, I will definitely repay you handsomely."

"You're welcome. I'm just making things up when I'm writing novels."

Chen Yang said.

Seeing that Lao Zhou seemed to be in a hurry to return to the company, Chen Yang asked again, "Mr. Zhou, are you planning to go back?"

"Yes, Professor Chen Yang, I'm sorry, I have to go back now."

"Are you really planning to launch the Frugal Bodyguard?"

"I have no other way to go but this road."

"Prepare for public opinion."

"Thank you."

"Also, please be careful."

"Safety?"

Old Zhou was stunned.

Immediately, a cold sweat broke out on my back.

Yes.

If Chen Yang hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have even thought of it.

If they really do launch Koko Bodyguard.

Tencent may have to choose between the two options, which will have a huge impact on public opinion across the country.

but.

It will inevitably bring about this.

That's Lao Zhou's safety issue.

A bad one.

Old Zhou might even get arrested.

Yes.

Don't think it's impossible.

The "KouKou Bodyguard" is essentially a cheat program.

Using cheats or hacks is illegal.

Although the penguins themselves didn't do it properly either.

But it's not authentic anymore.

Aside from a moral issue, Penguin's actions were perfectly fine.

"Thank you, definitely."

Old Zhou nodded heavily to Chen Yang.

……

"Mr. Ma, there's a novel that mentions the big battle between 360 and Tencent."

"You mean the stingy bodyguard?"

"You saw it?"

"This topic is so popular on Weibo, how could I not have seen it? By the way, we should also start using Weibo in the future."

Little Ma clicked into Chen Yang's Weibo: "This kid is really amazing, does he really write novels?"

"This, this... seems to be it."

The assistant was also at a loss for words: "According to insiders, Chen Yang has a very strategic vision. He previously proposed the theory of deglobalization, although many people do not agree with it."

"Deglobalization is not impossible, it's just not the right time yet."

Pony Ma stroked his chin: "I heard that most of LeTV's film and television copyrights also belong to him?"

"Yes."

The assistant nodded again: "A few years ago, he bought almost all the internet film and television copyrights on the market at a very low price. At that time, nobody cared about these copyrights, and the price he paid was like dirt cheap. Now, the value of these copyrights is at least 10 billion yuan."

"Talented individuals".

Little Ma said with some admiration.

But he couldn't quite understand it: "You know, this guy has such good taste, why does he write novels? Does he really enjoy writing novels that much?"

"Never mind him. By the way, do you think Old Zhou might have read his novel too?"

"Such a big matter, Lao Zhou couldn't possibly not pay attention to it."

"So Old Zhou really did come up with a stingy bodyguard..."

When Little Ma said that, he became a little flustered.

However, it's unclear whether what Chen Yang wrote was a novel or not.

But from his analysis, this is perfectly reasonable.

If 360 really does create such a stingy bodyguard, even Pony Ma (Ma Huateng, founder of Tencent) won't know what to do.

“Mr. Ma, I don’t think Lao Zhou would do that; he’s breaking the law.”

The assistant said.

just.

No one expected this.

Just when everyone thought this so-called stingy bodyguard was not feasible.

That night.

360 has officially released a new software.

His name is simply "Stingy Bodyguard".

……

"Holy crap, stingy bodyguards have really appeared."

"You dare defy the gods, you will not praise them."

If previously everyone on the New Wolf Weibo was just chatting idly...

Few people believe in the so-called stingy bodyguards.

Even if Chen Yang's writing seems to make sense.

But a novel is a novel.

But now.

Novels reflect reality.

Just like in Chen Yang's novel, 360 launched Koukou Bodyguard.

"So powerful, 360 has gone berserk."

"I downloaded Koukou Protector, it's so useful, it even has the function of creating unlimited groups."

“I downloaded it too, and it also allows you to create large groups of 1000, 2000, or even 3000 people.”

"You can also use Koukouxiu for free."

"My God, this is a feature that even Tencent hasn't released."

The entire internet exploded instantly.

Countless users frantically downloaded Koukou Protector.

Those in the internet industry were also stunned, exclaiming that it was unbelievable.

"Old Zhou has gone mad."

"That author is truly talented; he actually predicted that Lao Zhou would do just that."

"There's no other way; Tencent is pushing us too hard. If we don't do this, we'll go bankrupt. Apparently, Tencent doesn't even want to acquire 360."

"Breaking news: Koukou Guard has been downloaded over 2000 million times in one night, and may reach 4000 million tomorrow."

"Okay, now it's not just 360 that's facing a life-or-death situation. If Tencent lets Koukou Guard continue operating, Tencent's Koukou will also be finished."

"What should the penguin do?"

This night.

The entire domestic internet was up all night.

Countless people are involved, whether they work in the industry or are unrelated to it.

They were all talking about it like crazy.

Some people were watching the spectacle.

People are watching how the penguin will respond.

Some people admire Lao Zhou for confronting the issue head-on.

of course.

Many more people flocked to Chen Yang's Weibo account.

"Let me pay my respects first."

I admire you to the point of prostration.

"Unsung God, now it's your turn to teach the penguin how to operate."

This night.

The penguins also stayed up all night.

At 3 a.m., Pony Ma called a group of senior executives to a meeting.

Yes.

Now, for penguins, it's a matter of life and death.

He really didn't expect it.

Old Zhou actually created the stingy bodyguard.

He never expected this.

A small security software business has actually threatened their most core instant messaging business.

"Mr. Ma, Koukou Guard has surpassed 3000 million downloads. We expect that the number of downloads in 24 hours may exceed 5000 million, and the number of downloads in a week will exceed 2 million."

"Mr. Ma, Koukou Guard has not only launched some services that Tencent has not launched, but it has also collected our data. All of Koukou's user data will suffer a major security breach."

"Mr. Ma..."

A series of bad news kept coming in.

"No need to say anything, it's one of the two."

A touch.

Little Ma made a difficult decision.

This night.

Chen Yang.

Become famous in one battle.
