Since the end of the 20th century, when the Internet began to spread on a large scale in China, the number of netizens on the mainland can be said to have soared, and during this period, many domestic companies have hitched a ride on the Internet and grown from small companies to large enterprises, such as Jack Ma's Alibaba, Ma Huateng's Tencent, Liu Qiangdong's JD.com and so on.

Internet companies are fiercely competitive

The mushrooming of many Internet companies not only enriched the industry, but also brought a lot of convenience to our lives, after all, e-commerce, communication and social networking have changed our way of life in the past ten years, so users also recognize these companies.

However, there are successes and failures, in the wave after wave of competition, although there are many companies rising and growing in this wave, but at the same time there are many giants that have fallen to the altar, and even from the original leader to become a forgotten object, such as the "2345" company.

Mention the name 2345 must be very familiar to many people, because the company's products are quite numerous, from browsers to chart software, 2345 is almost involved. It is not even an exaggeration to say that many netizens in the early days had more or less 2345 software products in their computers. However, this is not to say that users recognize 2345, but because of its company's "unique" development path, and even many users hate it.

Former giants were "hated" by users

In the early days, 2345 extended users in a simple and crude way, that is, through the pirated Windows system implanted 2345 family barrel products, and these family bucket software as long as installed in the computer is difficult to uninstall, so many people call it "rogue software". It is precisely because of these labels of 2345 that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also criticized several of its software by name, but it has not played a big role.

After the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology named him, The Windows system publisher Microsoft also sued for the use of pirated systems to disseminate software, and demanded 36 million yuan in damages. In this case, although 2345 gave up bundling software in the pirate system, it took another approach, that is, to cooperate with the personnel of the computer repair shop, requiring the installation of the relevant software in the user's computer, and providing a certain amount of remuneration for this. So this is why many computers repaired by computer shops at that time would have 2345 more family barrel software.

Unsurprisingly, the market capitalization fell from 750 to 14.5 billion

However, with the continuous improvement of netizens' awareness of security in the later period and the decline of the computer maintenance industry, the performance of 2345 companies was much worse than before. In response, 2345 began to transform from a rogue software company into a so-called Internet finance company. During this period, 2345's business revenue has been greatly affected for various reasons, and 2345, which was once worth as much as $75 billion, has now fallen to 14.5 billion yuan. Obviously, this former "giant" has long since lost its glory.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that although a large amount of revenue was obtained at the beginning, it was exchanged for "special means", and although these practices were exchanged for temporary results, they forever hurt the hearts of users. And 2345 has finally paid a corresponding price for this. However, this also sounds a wake-up call for other enterprises, that is, as an Internet company serving users, it must exchange practical actions for the user's sincerity, and "hooligan behavior" should not be touched.

Have you ever used 2345's software?
