Zhou Hongyi was holding a brand-new engineering prototype, fiddling with it with great interest.
Ever since 360 was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, his net worth had skyrocketed by several billion. His sights were no longer limited to the internet and mobile security sectors.

He believed that with 360's 400 million users, selling ten million units would be no problem, not to mention several tens of millions.
