Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 175 The Snipe and the Clam Fight, the One Gains Advantage Through Telepathy

On the other end of the phone, Shen Fei's voice was very calm, but you could still hear a hint of teasing or smugness in it.

This only fueled Penguin Horse's anger:

"Mr. Shen, you are a major shareholder of Tencent. What's the meaning behind promoting Transsion Security Guard at this time?"

Shen Fei chuckled and said frankly, "Mr. Ma, you've misunderstood. I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in distress."

Penguin Horse didn't say anything, but he was already cursing Shen Fei in his heart.

They weren't the type to take advantage of others' misfortunes, but that's exactly what they did. The pages are indeed different, but the core functionality is the same.

He originally thought there would be a winner and a loser between Tencent and 360, but he never expected... he shouldn't have agreed to Naspers' second share sale in the first place.

Now I've found myself a powerful figure, so you could say I found both of my powerful figures myself.

"Transsion Security Guard is made for Transsion users."

Protect privacy, block unwanted unwanted messages, clean up junk files—that's all.

"It's solely for protecting user data security and has nothing to do with the war between Tencent and 360."

But Penguin is completely obsessed with the 360 ​​issue, and any new competitor is an opponent.

He either couldn't understand, or was completely unwilling to admit, the meaning behind Shen Fei's words, which had automatically been interpreted as: I'm here to seize the market...

"Besides, Mr. Ma, do you really think forcing users to choose between two options is a good thing? This kind of behavior is outrageous..."

Penguin Ma fell silent. He knew, of course, that choosing between the two options was not a good thing and would inevitably bring heavy regulatory punishment.

However, 360 went too far, cutting off their most important source of revenue. In just a few days, several partners canceled their cooperation.

The loss is at least 5 million.

If we don't take away 360's market share, how will the market view us?

Is it a sick cat?

"I understand what you mean, but Transsion doesn't take sides, and neither do I. You can do whatever you want, we'll only do one thing: stand on the side of the users."

"This does no harm to the penguins."

Abusing the power of a ruler is not a good thing.

Shen Fei fell silent after speaking, but his words sent shockwaves through Penguin Horse.

The initial reason for the conflict between the two companies was that he wanted to seize the security market by leveraging the Penguin ecosystem.

As for the process, it's naturally the cheapest method used by Penguin: Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.

The pages and functions of both companies are... exactly the same.

It's normal for Zhou Hongyi to be a little impulsive, but...

The choice between the two options has been made, and without third-party mediation, no one can admit fault.

After all, the stock market has already given the right response to his actions, and he cannot back down!

"Mr. Shen, I'm increasingly unable to understand you."

"Don't tell me you have instant messaging test software inside your company." He asked with a chuckle.

"Mr. Ma, how did you know? We actually have that software inside."

"Mr. Shen, please don't joke around."

"real."

The more confident Shen Fei spoke, the less Penguin Ma believed him. He believed that the penguins' vast ecosystem was an incredibly strong moat.

If Shen Fei had given a vague denial, it might still be true, but now...

After hanging up the phone, Penguin Horse calmed down but then panicked again.

He re-analyzed the possibility of Transsion entering the instant messaging market.

But after his analysis, the possibility was almost zero.

Putting aside Tencent's market share of over 95%, what would a mobile phone company need instant messaging software for, and how would it promote it?

However, Transsion does have experience in this area, which cannot be ignored.

After all, the feeling of having one's fruits stolen is too unpleasant, and one cannot make that mistake a second time.

Finally, Penguin Horse remarked with a sigh, "We can't be careless. Perhaps in the future, telepathy will truly be our greatest enemy."

…………

Meanwhile, at the Kyoto 360 headquarters.

Zhou Hongyi stared at the data from Transsion Security Guardian, her brows furrowed in the same way.

Downloads increased and users overwhelmingly gave positive reviews.

He actually managed to break through; we were careless.

Transsion Security Guard's page layout is completely different from theirs, without any copying or imitation, giving people a refreshing feeling.

The virus detection rate is still very stable, and the virus killing speed is even slightly faster than 360. It can also accurately detect and kill some rare viruses.

"This Shen Fei..." Zhou Hongyi muttered to herself, "Seeing is believing, he's got some skills."

The assistant asked cautiously, "Mr. Zhou, should we contact Transsion to discuss cooperation?"

Zhou Hongyi shook her head: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. They've already gotten their share, so why would they cooperate with us?"

However, since he doesn't take sides, we shouldn't mess with him. We can't afford to offend him, and there's no need to.

He controls the end-user market, so we must seize it too. We need to talk to the other companies about cooperation.

The mediation by a third party came faster than expected. On September 28, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology intervened forcefully and ordered both parties to immediately cease hostilities.

Tencent restores compatibility with 360; 360 removed QQ Protector from app stores...

But the end of the war did not mean the end of the battle. After the software was taken down, Tencent directly sued 360 in court... This war continued in another form.

…………

On the other side, at the Transsion Building.

Liu Zhihong was incredibly excited when he saw the download count surpass 4000 million.

Within days of its launch, Transsion Antivirus has become the third largest antivirus software in China.

Although it still has the smallest user base, its activity level is very high. User feedback is very positive.

"Mr. Shen, 4200 million. The security software with the best reputation across the entire internet."

Our Transsion Security Guard has succeeded!

"It's still early."

Shen Fei raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, his eyes smiling but also carrying a hint of calculation.

"The 3Q War is over, and we've gotten a big piece of the pie, but this is just the first step."

"Most users are simply disgusted by the competition between Tencent and 360, and choose us only to avoid risks."

It's not about being a loyal user; the next step is to take privacy protection to the industry ceiling, perfect Google blocking, and create an experience that users will find addictive.

Once users get used to it, we can gradually expand into other businesses. Let's not be as aggressive as they are.

Everyone nodded, and everyone admired Shen Fei's plan.

Every time, the calculations are just right, allowing one to take the biggest slice of the pie and gracefully exit the competition.

…………

Just a few days after the 3Q War ended, Shen Fei was summoned to the provincial government again.

This time, however, Zhang Shiqing looked at him with an expression full of admiration.

"You're here so quickly? Wait a minute." Zhang Shiqing quickly picked up a pen and started signing the documents. "Okay, pour President Shen a cup of tea."

"Xiao Wang, I don't have any other work to do this morning, right?"

"Boss, it's gone."

After Secretary Wang finished speaking, he poured tea for Shen Fei.

It's this year's new tea, just snatched from the Party Secretary; Zhang Shiqing himself hasn't even had it many times.

After filling out that document, Zhang Shiqing quickly took out another document from the safe next to him.

"The Academy of Sciences has released a report." He stared at his son-in-law with utter admiration. It was as if God was standing beside him; researching automotive materials, and he'd actually come up with something like this...

As long as he doesn't go too far, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye.

Shen Fei took the document and opened the first page, which was filled with dense data.

He glanced at it and flipped directly to the conclusion:

"The materials in batch 0078 are of great value in fields such as aero-engine blades, hot-end components of gas turbines, and lightweight structural parts for automobiles. It is recommended that they be included in the national strategic material reserve system, and the civilian market should be carefully considered."

Shen Fei looked up: "So fast? And what does 'carefully consider the civilian market' mean?"

"These are materials we're developing for automobiles. Can't those old men do this?"

Seeing that his son-in-law was pretending to be confused, Zhang Shiqing smiled.

"Fast? Do you know how those old men at the Academy of Sciences reacted when they saw the test data?"
