Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 620: Starting a Business in Africa

Although Chen Yiyang responded promptly.

The rise in 369's stock price had just shown some 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. Some uninformed 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 domestic stock market by cashing out during his divorce, which led the government to formally stipulate that divorce cannot be used as an excuse for cashing out, thereby establishing a new regulation in the domestic stock trading circles.

Nevertheless, the conflict between Chen Yiyang and Zhou Hongyi was known by many domestically.

Wu Changxun even called specifically.

"Haha, my dear brother. This is exactly how you should deal with someone like Zhou Hongyi, don't show mercy."

"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 some dirt on Zhou Hongyi online, stir up some public opinion to counterattack? Tengxu can offer you a discounted rate on all of our social media platforms."

"No, thanks." As soon as Chen Yiyang heard there'd be a fee, he refused outright.

But from this incident, it became evident that Tengxu had truly let go of Zhou Hongyi, otherwise in the past, Tengxu would have been spending out of pocket to smear 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 infringement 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 advertisements 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 advertisements, but intends to add hot keywords and similar ads on the search bar's sidebar or bottom to generate some income.

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 investment, 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 emerging 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.

Meanwhile, in Morocco, he received another tip-off.

Today's intel on Africa's network development: A group of domestic 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 domestic 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 domestic 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 development, it means 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 governments 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 meet 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. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Let them come up, and help me book a room in the reception hall."

Chen Yiyang certainly wouldn't meet 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 some local specialty tea drinks.

Upon arriving at the reception hall, the two individuals had been waiting for quite some time.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

These two greeted Chen Yiyang enthusiastically upon seeing him.

"Introduce yourselves." Chen Yiyang casually sat down on the sofa.

Nowadays, he meets 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 meets are indeed much older than him.

"Mr. Chen, my name is Zhou Tian, and he is Yu Han."

It seemed Zhou Tian was the leader, as he introduced their names and explained why they came 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 named Chen.

We never imagined we'd actually meet you!"

If they hadn't mentioned 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.
