Chapter 314: Sogou Wang Xiaochuan (2-in-1 chapter, ask for subscription)
Looking for another media person means that he wants him to interview Xu Yong.
The interview was about search engines, including PPC, and more recently, Baidu's business, Baidu Music.
Although Xu Yong was mostly on Baidu's side in the interview, after all, he is Baidu's chief operating officer, no matter how he doesn't deal with Li Yanhong, he won't say this in public. It's just that Xu Yong is a perfect idea, or not a perfectionist, Xu Yong is still a person who has a dream. In the interview, Xu Yong also reflected on some issues involved in bidding rankings and Baidu Music.
Eventually, the interview ended.
The media person was very satisfied with Xu Yong's interview.
He feels that Xu Yong is a business leader with a conscience.
At the same time, he also expects Baidu to make some changes in the future.
Of course, Chen Yu is also very satisfied with this interview.
Although Xu Yong still adheres to Baidu's position in this interview, I don't know what Li Yanhong thinks of such an interview?
You must know that Li Yanhong is not an idealist.
He was a realist.
Li Yanhong's personality is not ostentatious or exaggerated, but very rational.
Rationality keeps him clear-headed, and at the same time makes him more pragmatic.
He knows exactly what Baidu needs.
Baidu needs a market, but it also needs to make money.
I don't know what he will feel after Li Yanhong sees this interview?
......
"Yan Hong, sighing again, isn't the piracy problem solved?"
"It's not piracy that I'm sighing about, it's Lao Xu. β
"What's wrong with Lao Xu?"
"Before, there was no problem, but now it is not necessarily. β
Li Yanhong said to his wife Ma Dongming: "Lao Xu is too idealistic, and he pursues absolute fairness in everything. However, where in this world is there absolute fairness? If the company doesn't use some means in its operation, how can it beat others?"
"It seems that you and Lao Xu have a disagreement. β
Ma Dongming is Li Yanhong's wife and one of the founders of Baidu.
The two met while studying in the United States and got married.
"There is a big difference, it was a bidding ranking before, and now Lao Xu has an opinion on Baidu Music again. β
"This is also because of the recent piracy incident, and the company has been investigating these days, and Lao Xu is also under a lot of pressure. β
"It's not a question of pressure or not, I think Lao Xu has some direction towards Huanyu Technology, and Lao Xu has some incompetence in the work of COO. β
"Yan Hong, calm down, it was Xu Yong who invited us to return to China to start a business together. β
"I know ......"
Li Yanhong wanted to continue, but finally stopped.
In any case, Xu Yong has been Li Yanhong's friend for many years, and the establishment of the company has his great credit.
"Say no more. β
Not wanting to continue to discuss this topic, Li Yanhong changed the topic and said: "Dongming, what do you think of Huanyu Technology?"
"Huanyu Technology is an Internet company with a long-term vision, and many of its strategies are different from those of most companies. β
"It's not just this one, in fact, Huanyu Technology is the same company as our Baidu. It's just that they are more adept at packaging. β
Li Yanhong has studied Huanyu Technology.
Obviously, Huanding Technology has a good evaluation in the society, but secretly Huanyu Technology has a lot of means.
The competition with the penguins, digging into the corners of NetEase, and creating a legend exactly the same as Shanda.
These methods are also shameless.
And this time, he even used justice and fairness to pressure them Baidu.
This made Li Yanhong very angry.
"In this case, in the packaging area, we should learn about Huanyu Technology. β
"You're right, in the packaging of corporate image, we should really learn from Huanyu Technology in the future. β
Li Yanhong also nodded.
"I'll answer the phone. β
At this moment, a phone call was made to Li Yanhong.
"Mr. Li and Mr. Xu were interviewed by Mango TV. β
"Didn't you tell him not to be interviewed at this time...... Did the interview go out?"
"Okay, I got it. β
Hanging up the phone, Li Yanhong turned on the computer and searched for a video of Xu Yong's interview.
After watching the video, Li Yanhong took three deep breaths.
"Dong Ming, it's not that I don't remember my relationship with Lao Xu, I really feel that Lao Xu is not suitable for the position of COO. β
Li Yanhong is a very low-key person.
He doesn't like to be interviewed.
An interview like this should not be accepted at this critical moment in itself.
Although he also saw that most of Xu Yong was still maintaining the company, Li Yanhong still saw that there was a huge difference between Xu Yong's concept and his own during the entire interview.
The next day, Baidu held a meeting.
The meeting was chaired by Li Yanhong.
Li Yanhong began to adjust the company's personnel structure as soon as he opened the meeting, adjusting the position of COO and COO of Xu Yong to CSO Chief Strategy Officer. Although it seems that there is no change, which is equivalent to a horizontal transfer, the so-called CSO chief strategy is a position like an advisor, with little power and no management.
Xu Yong was stunned.
The other employees of the company were also puzzled.
However, this was an order from Chairman and CEO Li Yanhong, and no one proposed an opinion.
"Li Yanhong, this is your means?"
At the end of the meeting, Xu Yong questioned Li Yanhong.
"It's not a means, I don't think you're in the same league as the company's thoughts, so for the time being, I'm not in charge of the operation. β
"It's not with your thoughts. β
"It can also be said that the company can only be led by one person, and it can only be led by me. β
"Good. β
Xu Yongbu laughed angrily: "Then it seems that it is not interesting for me to stay in Baidu." β
"Whatever you want. However, your shares cannot be transferred to another person until they are listed. β
"Rest assured, Baidu was created by me at my suggestion, and I have a deeper affection for Baidu than you. β
"Thank you. β
A personnel change, one of the founders of Baidu, Xu Yong, resigned.
......
"Mr. Chen, Xu Yong has resigned from Baidu. β
"So fast. β
"It just broke the news. β
"Great. β
Although he had known for a long time that Xu Yong would leave, he didn't expect this resignation to come ahead of schedule.
"Mr. Chen, I'm a little afraid of you. β
"What are you afraid of me for?"
"If you hadn't sent someone to interview Xu Yong, Xu Yong would not have been able to leave his job. β
"It doesn't have much to do with me. β
Chen Yu shook his head: "It's Xu Yong and Li Yanhong who have many contradictions, even if I don't do anything, Xu Yong may resign." β
Chen Yu just pushed it at most.
"Contact Xu Yong, I want to see him. β
"Yes. β
Don't ask what Xu Yong does?
Zhang Jianming naturally knows.
What did Chen Yu put so much effort into making Xu Yong break with Li Yanhong?
Isn't it just for search engines?
Huanyu Technology does not have search engine technology, but Baidu does.
However, it is impossible for Baidu to give their technology to Huanyu Technology, but if Xu Yong can be brought in, then there is hope.
"Mr. Chen, I contacted Xu Yong, and he said that he would also like to meet you. β
"No......"
Chen Yu was a little surprised.
I didn't expect Xu Yong to see him too.
Wouldn't that be better, though?
In that case, let's get to know each other.
......
"You are Chen Yu?"
Baidu's headquarters is in Yanjing, and he flew to Yanjing in order to meet Xu Yong and Chen Yu.
Seeing Chen Yu for the first time, Xu Yong was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Chen Yu to be so young.
"It's incredible, you remind me of Yang Zhiyuan. However, you are younger than when Yang Zhiyuan founded Yahoo. β
Yang Zhiyuan is the founder of Yahoo.
He was 26 years old when he founded Yahoo.
Mr. Xu praised that Silicon Valley is really a magical place, where Yahoo, Apple and many well-known companies have been produced...... It also produced Baidu Xu Mr. you. β
"I know why you Huanyu Technology is so powerful, because of you as the helmsman. However, I don't have much to do with Baidu now. β
"This is also what I want to see Mr. Xu. β
"You're trying to invite me to join you Huanyu Technology?"
Chen Yu didn't say what Xu Yong meant, but Xu Yong seemed to guess.
"How did Xu always know?"
Chen Yu was slightly surprised.
"It's not difficult, Baidu wants to do instant messaging, I'm thinking don't you want to be a search engine?"
"Hahaha...... Mr. Xu's discernment. β
Chen Yu did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, this time I came to invite Mr. Xu to join us in Huanyu Technology." β
"Sorry, I refuse. β
"Mr. Xu, don't refuse so quickly, listen to me first. β
"Yes. β
Xu Yong nodded: "You say." β
"As long as Mr. Xu joins us in Huanyu Technology, you will be responsible for the search engine business, and you only need to be responsible for me. β
"It's not too tempting, and I'm only under Li Yanhong in Baidu. Moreover, I still have shares in Baidu, which will go public next year, and under normal circumstances, I should be able to achieve financial freedom. β
"Second, we don't do PPC. β
Chen Yu did not refute, Xu Yong said the truth and continued.
"PPC doesn't have to be that bad, as long as it's rigorously reviewed, it won't be a problem. β
"Mr. Xu, aren't you very opposed to PPC?"
"I'm against it, I'm just against the loose review mechanism of PPC, but PPC is indeed very advantageous in advertising, am I so naΓ―ve that I don't allow the company to make money?"
"It seems that the outside world has made a mistake about Mr. Xu. β
Chen Yu smiled bitterly.
"You might call me an idealist, right?"
Chen Yu nodded.
"Of course, in a way I am. Baidu can have Yan Hong alone, but there is not much difference between me and me. Moreover, I also think that Yan Hong's ability is stronger than mine, and he can do Baidu better. β
"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to speak for Li Yanhong like this. β
"Anyway, he doesn't have anything to be sorry for me, it's just that his philosophy is different. However, I actually studied biology, and I was more interested in life science than search engines. I won't enter the search engine in the future, but I disappointed Mr. Chen. β
"I hope that Mr. Xu will think about it more. β
Chen Yu was a little depressed.
After doing it for so long, he didn't expect Xu Yong to be uninterested in search engines.
If he wasn't interested, what would he do with the search business?
"Mr. Chen doesn't need to be disappointed, in fact, even if you invite me, I may not be able to do a good job in search engines. Presumably you have also studied Baidu, Baidu's super connection technology comes from Yan Hong's patent, which is the world's top search technology, technically I can't be Yan Hong's opponent. β
"Not necessarily, sometimes technology is a great tool for the company, but sometimes it can also limit the company's growth. β
Chen Yu didn't think that inviting Xu Yong would surpass Baidu in technology.
There are really not many domestic search engines that can surpass Baidu, and they are almost impossible to find.
However, if the technology layer remains unchanged and does not know how to work, even if there is technology, it may not be able to be the first in the industry.
Just like in the previous mobile Internet era, Baidu lost more than half of its mobile search market share.
"When you say that, I really admire your Huanyu Technology. β
"Hehe, Mr. Xu, you want to say that we don't have any technology in Huanyu Technology, but we have made so much money, right? β
"Hahaha......"
Xu Yong laughed: "Mr. Chen, you have a very good taste for me, if I knew you before Baidu, I might do a search engine with you." β
"No, I was a kid back then, so it's weird that you're a search engine with me. β
"It's also ......"
"Okay, Mr. Xu, I won't bother you. β
It seems that Xu Yong really doesn't want to be a search engine, so Chen Yu has to find another way.
"Wait......"
"What, Mr. Xu, have you figured it out?"
"Once you figured it out, I really don't know how to be a search engine. I don't do it, though, and I can recommend someone to you. β
"Who?"
"Wang Xiaochuan. β
"Wang Xiaochuan of Sohu?"
"He seems to have interned in Sohu before, hehe, do you know?"
"Know, know, thank you, Mr. Xu. β
Xu Yong didn't mention it, Chen Yu almost forgot that there was still a number one bull in the search field.
This person is Wang Xiaochuan.
Of course, many people may not know the name.
But his Sogou input method is probably known to everyone.
At present, Wang Xiaochuan should not have been reused, and the Sogou input method has not appeared.
You can dig him up.
