Episode 16 recap: Lin Xiaofan proposed open-sourcing.
Chen Kaiyu was very surprised. Lin Xiaofan said that in his eyes, Souhu is not just a search engine. It will undergo many transformations. When people open their phones, they will want to use Souhu to search for what they want to know. It can become a platform where netizens gather and allow creators to create their own things in it. Lin Xiaofan asked Chen Kaiyu to think about it. Sun Hong came over to persuade Chen Kaiyu, but Chen Kaiyu said that Souhu is like his own child. Initially, Liu Yuanqing gave him money and asked him to give up on Lin Xiaofan, but he chose Lin Xiaofan. Now Lin Xiaofan wants him to give up Souhu to save the company. However, after hearing Lin Xiaofan's ideas about Souhu, he feels that Lin Xiaofan wants to make Souhu better, so he agrees to open-source.
Sun Hong was also very surprised that Chen Kaiyu convinced himself. Lin Xiaofan brought the suppliers over and proposed open-sourcing, and these suppliers couldn't refuse. Fei Ting asked Lin Xiaofan what the next step should be, and Lin Xiaofan said that the next step is to go public. Some people are doing everything they can to make themselves go public, so he has to teach these people a lesson.
Wu Jiayue came to find Liu Yuanqing and felt that Liu Yuanqing made a wrong move. Liu Yuanqing said that he made the suppliers cut off the supply, forcing Lin Xiaofan to open-source and go public. It was all part of his plan.
