Chapter 587: Rivalry at the Meeting (4,000 Words Update)
At the beginning, Yoyo and Baidu jointly built the company, so at the beginning of Weibo's establishment, it enjoyed the dividends of Tieba drainage.
So today, when the negative news of Tieba broke out, it was natural to suffer its backlash.
An overwhelming storm of public opinion is surging towards Baidu, with Weibo, web portals, community forums, and major QQ groups frantically delivering negative news about Baidu.
Their stock price, which had been steadily rising on the NASDAQ, has seen an astonishing and irrepressible downward trend.
For listed companies, as long as there is negative news, the stock price will inevitably be deeply affected.
It didn't take long for netizens and public opinion to point not only to the commercialization of Tieba, but also to focus on another lifeline of Baidu, bidding ranking.
"As long as you give money, the search ranking of counterfeit and shoddy products can appear before legitimate products. ”
"We don't need a company that doesn't have a little bit of moral blood. ”
"Li XX, looking at the kind eyebrows and kind eyes, it turned out to be such a human-faced beast. ”
All of a sudden, the entire public's negative emotions about Baidu's long-accumulated negative emotions were instantly detonated like a volcanic eruption.
The development of things is far from this, just like Liu Yun's hunch, Yoyo can't stay out of it.
Soon, some netizens found out through the industrial and commercial website that Tieba and Weibo belong to the same company called Huaxia Information Technology Co., Ltd.
The company, Yoyo and Baidu, each hold 35 percent of the shares, while Sina owns 30 percent.
This is a good explanation for why the interfaces of Tieba and Weibo have set up a link for each other.
Data can also be exchanged between the accounts of the two parties.
Netizens suddenly realized that the two companies Youyou and Baidu were already grasshoppers in the same boat.
Soon, Yoyo was also burned by this public anger, and what was even more helpless was that the company's propaganda department was unprepared for this sudden scene.
It is a fact that Weibo and Tieba are both joint ventures.
The relationship between the two is irrefutable.
They had no choice but to make an announcement first to deal with the pressure of public opinion that had already been affected.
"The operation of Tieba is fully responsible for Baidu, and Yoyo is not involved or aware of it. The company is urgently discussing and trying to give a satisfactory answer to the public within a few days. ”
At this moment, I don't know how many bosses of Internet companies in the industry raise their glasses to celebrate, and they are happy to see these two giant companies fall into a crisis of public opinion.
"It's a pity that Yoyo didn't go public, otherwise their losses would be in billions of dollars. ”
"False medical information is simply murder for money. That's much more serious than Taobao's fakes, Tencent's plagiarism. ”
"Hmph, none of the Big Four are good. ”
At this moment, Liu Yun has rushed to the Shanghai market.
The day after that post appeared on Tieba, he temporarily changed his itinerary.
"Mr. Liu. "Greeting Liu Yun at the door was his old classmate Li Hui.
"What's going on now?" Liu Yun nodded, and asked as he walked.
"According to your instructions, no hot search will be revoked, so the transmission speed on Weibo is very fast, and the official accounts of many media have forwarded it. Li Hui walked next to Liu Yun and replied with a wry smile.
"What media are they?"
People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, CCTV News. ”
Liu Yun shrugged his shoulders and replied: "It's a big fuss, it's all national-level media." ”
He understands that the reason why this matter is so uproarious is because the incident of a certain milk powder has just broken out, and the Chinese public has hated this kind of false medical information to the core, and this kind of emotion can be said to be ignited at all.
"Mr. Liu, let me tell you something. Li Hui whispered.
"What's the matter. After Liu Yun heard this, he stopped and looked at him.
Li Hui is the shareholder representative of Youyou in this joint venture company, and he is Liu Yun's eyeliner here.
He looked to the side, no one noticed, and said: "Baidu's shareholder representative is very dissatisfied with your decision not to withdraw the hot search, if the operating company becomes Sina, it will definitely not do this." They also said......"
"What else?"
"It's the first time I've seen this kind of boss digging up his company's grave, and it's an eye-opener. ”
After hearing this, Liu Yun's face was calm and terrifying, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, and replied lightly: "I know." ”
When the two walked into the conference room, Liu Yun felt countless eyes on him.
Because Ningjiang is very close to Shanghai, he quickly rushed here.
The other two CEOs of this company, Cao Wei and Li Yanhongyuan, are in Yanjing and can only entrust the shareholder representatives to be fully responsible.
Liu Yun's face darkened, and after pulling out a chair and sitting down, he shouted directly at Baidu's shareholder representative: "I told your boss a long time ago that the commercialization of Tieba should be thought twice, especially the qualifications of advertisers should be strictly reviewed, these words should be regarded as wind in the ears." How short of money Lao Li is, has he fallen into the eyes of money?"
Baidu's shareholder representative is a fat-faced, glasses-wearing, 30-something man named He Zengguang.
At this time, facing Liu Yun's complaint without warning, he blushed and looked unconvinced.
"I'm here on behalf of Mr. Li, what kind of thing are you, Liu Yun, and you're not my boss, why are you pointing at me?"
He looked around at some of the people around him, especially the Sina representative, who usually didn't look at him, and saw that the guy was a little pouting, looking like he wanted to laugh and forced a smile.
Yoyo's size is much larger than that of Sina, and after Baidu, it bears most of the anger of netizens.
What's more, Weibo is now in the hands of Youyou, and Sina has not done anything at present except for some advertising.
He Zengguang was very dissatisfied with Liu Yun's statement, and felt that the other party deliberately made himself ugly in front of so many management.
He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Liu, if your Weibo, like our post bar, delete the post and ban the account as soon as possible, things will not make such a big fuss in such a short period of time." ”
When He Zengguang spoke, Liu Yun was playing with his mobile phone as if nothing had happened, but when the other party finished speaking, he put down the mobile phone and stared at the other party with his eyes.
At the same time, the mobile phone placed in front of Li Hui made a "drop" sound, indicating that the message had been received.
But now that the meeting was going on, he just glanced at it and didn't pay any more attention.
However, Liu Yun's foot quietly touched Li Hui, who was sitting next to him, and at the same time stretched out his finger on the other party's mobile phone and lightly clicked a few times.
Li Hui was slightly stunned, understanding that this message was sent by the boss, he immediately opened his mobile phone, saw the content on it, and showed surprise.
Liu Yun's purpose is very simple, that is, he wants to make a big deal and deduct all the pots to Baidu.
He showed a very angry and smiling look, and his eyes continued to stare at He Zengguang and said: "The boy surnamed He, can you talk through some brains, if you withdraw these hot searches, then the storm of public opinion I am facing now will surpass your boss Mr. Li, why should I help the abuse?"
"How do you speak?" He Zengguang was huffing, as if he wanted to refute something.
But Liu Yun didn't give him any chance to speak, and continued: "There is another point, any company, no matter how big you do, should have moral blood flowing in its body. Your company's deletion of posts and bans has crossed the bottom line, don't expect us to be in the same boat. ”
As he spoke, he slapped the table vigorously, showing an extremely indignant look, and his words were full of gunpowder.
"Mr. Liu, please pay attention to your words. He Zengguang also stood up suddenly without showing weakness, "It's aiding and abusive, and it's complicit, I hope you can respect my work." ”
He was very satisfied with his reaction at the moment, and everything in today's meeting would soon reach Mr. Li's ears.
In the face of one of the few bigwigs in the industry, Liu Yun, the founder of Yoyo, he is not humble and does his best to defend the company's reputation.
Such a move will inevitably make Mr. Li look at himself.
As for Liu Yun, he is not his own boss, what is there to be afraid of, the big deal is not to be the shareholder representative in the future, let Mr. Li change his position.
Liu Yun was also angry, and he also stood up slowly, and said, "I don't think there is a problem with my words. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.
Every penny you earn is worthy of your conscience. Not necessarily. ”
He Zengguang replied: "I'm talking better than singing." Don't pretend in front of me. No treacherous business, which company dares to say that the money it makes is 100% clean?
We Baidu rely on our own skills to make money, and we haven't done anything wrong at all, but the fault is that you are too good at pretending, and you didn't cancel the relevant hot searches for the first time, which made things so big. ”
In fact, some of the people present are old foxes who have been crawling and rolling in the mall for a long time, and they agree with He Zengguang's words in their hearts, but it seems a little inappropriate to say it so openly.
But this guy seems to be a straight person, and he will say whatever comes to mind, even a big man in the industry like Liu Yun does the same.
Of course, some guys with eyes also saw that they were tired, and guessed that He Zengguang's performance was for the boss who was far away in Yanjing.
How many of these guys who can sit in the management are fuel-efficient lamps?
After Liu Yun heard this, in the stunned expressions of a group of people, he raised his head and laughed, and his loud voice echoed throughout the conference room.
After laughing for a while, he said, "Do you think Yoyo's aftermath behavior was wrong?"
He Zengguang stubbornly said, "Of course." ”
Liu Yun continued: "Then I will be wrong. Now I will announce that Weibo and Tieba have begun to officially separate! As a responsible entrepreneur, I need to give an explanation to the public!"
This step came earlier than planned.
In the conference room, everyone, including Li Hui, looked at Liu Yun in surprise.
He Zengguang was speechless for a while, he was not stupid, he seemed to have guessed that this was the main purpose of his meeting today, and the previous words were just foreshadowing, just to intensify the contradictions between each other.
"Could it be that I am being used, this is his real purpose. ”
This thought flashed through his mind, but he said: "Mr. Liu, it seems that you are not alone in the final say." ”
Liu Yun said: "The operation of Weibo is in the hands of Youyou and Sina, of course we can have the final say. ”
In the original cooperation agreement, Liu Yun played a scheming, Baidu and Youyo have the same shares, but Youyou and Sina operate Weibo and rotate for a year, while Baidu is only responsible for sticking to it. Data exchange between the two social networking sites, one account can be logged in on both sides without registration.
Since Weibo is a new product, and at the beginning of 2008, Tieba was popular for several years. This kind of cooperation seems to be taking advantage of Yoyo and Sina's side.
Therefore, Liu Yun put forward an additional condition, the income of Tieba Youyou and Sina do not participate, and if Weibo can make a profit, Baidu can get part of the dividends.
Judging from Weibo's promotion plan and the amount of money that needs to be invested, it is difficult to make a profit in the first few years, but the revenue of Tieba is very considerable.
This seems to be a sure-fire agreement, Li Yanhong agreed without hesitation.
Nowadays, Weibo has become popular, and it has become another huge social weapon after QQ, and the post bar is still popular, and the two sides drain each other and take what they need.
But Weibo's dependence on Tieba has declined.
Liu Yun continued: "Yoyo's stake is 35%, and Sina's is only 30%, so even if Sina doesn't agree, I can still dictate the situation. But I think Sina will also support my idea. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Sina's shareholder representative, Wang Chao.
He Zengguang said angrily and dissatisfiedly: "You guys are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge by doing this!"
Liu Yun waved his hand and said, "The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other." ”
After a pause, he said with great righteousness: "Our values are different. I always believe that a responsible enterprise should have moral blood flowing and has its bottom line. ”
"Little Dragon. Liu Yun shouted to Zhang Xiaolong, "The plan to separate Tieba and Weibo will be officially launched from now on, and you will be in charge." ”
Zhang Xiaolong stood up and nodded.
Although he felt that there was room for redemption, seeing that the boss's tone was so resolute, he had no choice but to carry it out.
Liu Yun was the first to walk out of the conference room, and then Li Hui ran out, leaving everyone to talk.
The two quickly walked to Li Hui's office, and he immediately closed the door.
"How did you do what you were told?"
"No problem!"
Li Hui smiled and took out the voice recorder in his pocket.
Liu Yun nodded and said, "Very good." I'll make an announcement tomorrow and I'll wait a few days before I release it. ”
Li Hui hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Liu, will we completely offend Baidu by doing this?" ”
Liu Yun smiled: "It's better than being dragged into the water by them and affecting the company's reputation." We are going to fight a beautiful battle of public opinion. ”
At the beginning, even a mere 360 dared to fight against the invincible Penguin Empire, and with today's size, are you afraid that Baidu will not succeed?
After the 3Q war, the value of 360 has risen sharply, and the reputation of netizens has also improved greatly.
And what about himself, why should he be afraid?
