Robin Li weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and from any point of view, he was currently more inclined to Liu Yun's suggestion.

He understands what kind of return it will bring to Baidu if he agrees to Liu Yun's proposal. At that time, the stock price will rise wildly, and the wealth brought by it is difficult to estimate.

The relationship between Baidu and Ctrip is mediocre, if it is just for the insignificant advertising expenses, it can be said that it has picked up watermelons and lost sesame seeds.

However, when he heard Liu Yun's last words, there was a very wonderful expression on his face.

"Even when netizens type in the word Ctrip, the position where Yoyo Vacation appears is still above Ctrip. ”

That is to say, on Baidu's search page, after netizens enter the word "Ctrip", the first one that appears is Youyou Holiday.com, and the second one is Ctrip.com.

As a supporter of Baidu's bidding ranking, he knows one thing very well, if you want to make money, you must be thick-skinned, and be able to withstand the criticism of those netizens, so as to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

But even so, Lao Li didn't expect this Liu Yun to come up with such an operation. Isn't that a bit too shameful?

"That's not good. In this way, even netizens who know a little bit about computers can see the trickiness in it, and then scold our Baidu company for being shameless and open its eyes when it sees money!"

Lao Li: Do you even have a time when you are afraid of being scolded by netizens?

Liu Yun put the mobile phone screen in front of his eyes, determined that the person on the call was the Mr. Li from Baidu, and continued: "Mr. Li, there is a difference in the importance of things, as long as we grasp the scale." To give a simple example, the reputation of our Yoyo Holiday Network is not bad, and the satisfaction of users with us is not low. Even if netizens type in the word "Ctrip", the first one that appears is Yoyo Holiday.com, which is not a loss for netizens. What's more, I guarantee that they can get a better user experience. ”

Lao Li listened to it for a while and felt that what the young boss said seemed to have a point.

Mr. Liu continued. ”

For another example, netizens entered the word "drug" in Baidu, and the first few items that appeared on the first page of Baidu search turned out to be fake drugs, just because they paid the promotion fee, they appeared at the forefront of the search position, and that is your company's responsibility. ”

There are only so many hints that Liu Yun can give, that Lao Li is a smart person, he will definitely be able to understand, as for whether he can listen to it, the possibility is very small, but his favor has been in place, and he will not be reminded in the future.

He knew that more than ten years later, Baidu had brought huge revenue to their company because of the bidding ranking and the commercial operation of Tieba. It is also because of the rampant use of various inferior hospitals selling dog meat on sheep's heads, which has brought a great negative impact on this company.

Liu Yun needs Baidu's technical skills, as well as the search engine's huge ability to attract traffic, but he also told himself that his cooperation with Baidu should be kept at a distance. When all kinds of negative scandals erupt, Yoyo Network can get out of it safely.

He needed to make it clear to the world that the two companies were only in partnership, and that they could not influence each other's decisions. All of Baidu's scandals about PPC and the commercial operation of Tieba have nothing to do with Yoyo.

Sure enough, Robin Li only took Liu Yun's words as a simple metaphor and did not take it to heart.

He said: "Mr. Liu, your eloquence is very convincing, I am willing to try." If the reaction of netizens is too fierce by then, I will cancel this article. ”

Liu Yun replied directly: "No problem!"

Those netizens will be idle and have nothing to worry about the Yoyo Vacation Network that suddenly appeared above the head of Ctrip.com, except for the employees of Ctrip.com, but their little people can't make waves.

Lao Li smiled: "I agree to this request." All travel-related words will not appear on the first two pages of the Baidu search page, and most of the links will point to Yoyo Holiday. Even if netizens type in the word "Ctrip", Yoyo Vacation will still appear at the top of Ctrip.com, and our company will not charge any fees. ”

Baidu has made sincerity, and now it is Liu Yun's turn to express his position.

Liu Yun groaned slightly, as if thinking about how to speak reasonably. After a while, he said: "hao123 will be officially merged with yoyo browser, although the market potential of yoyo browser is huge, but the market share does not occupy an absolute advantage like hao123." What's more, the default web page of Yoyo browser is also hao123. In this way, Mr. Li, you will pay 10 million US dollars and 100,000 Baidu shares, and you will take half of the equity of Yoyo Browser!"

Lao Li was a little hesitant, and he wasn't sure how much price he would eat. After all, hao123 is the leader of navigating web pages, but there is an industry giant IE in front of Yoyo browser. Of course, the idea of investing in Internet Explorer, he can't even think of it.

Thinking about it, Yoyo Browser seems to be his only option, but the price seems to be a bit high.

"It's expensive! We have given Yoyo Vacation a lot of sincerity in terms of searching. Robin Li instinctively began to bargain.

Liu Yun had expected it and said with a smile: "I know that Mr. Li is sincere, and I am willing to show sincerity." The second price plan is $6 million, 200,000 Baidu shares. "According to valuations, Baidu's stock today is less than $20 a share.

Robin Li was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, it seems that he is very optimistic about our Baidu stock." But I still hope that Mr. Liu can make some more concessions. ”

Liu Yun replied: "This is one of them, and the bigger reason is to be optimistic about our Yoyo browser!"

Robin Li understands that once Baidu owns half of the equity of Yoyo Browser, the company's stock price will also benefit a lot, which is a very valuable booster.

Liu Yun continued: "Mr. Li, let's do it. I'm going to make some more concessions on the amount and take more shares so that you have enough cash flow. As for me, I had to take a chance, gamble on my luck, and hope for the future of Baidu's stock. $5 million, $250,000 in Baidu stock. ”

Robin Li has some intentions, after all, whether Baidu's stock will soar or decline after the listing, he is not very sure, there is no such thing as a sure profit or loss in this world. Today's 250,000 Baidu shares are less than $5 million, and the two add up to less than $10 million, a price that he can accept in exchange for half of Yoyo Browser's equity.

Yoyo Browser's recent limelight has been too strong, and the pace of expansion is too fast, and it can be expected that its valuation will continue to increase.

"Okay, I agree to this condition, but there is also a requirement. Robin Li took a deep breath and said very seriously.

"Mr. Li, you say. Liu Yun stabilized his emotions and said. He could hear Robin Li's tone suddenly becoming very serious.

"According to the information I have received, Google will enter the Chinese market next year and name it Google in Chinese. I hope that Yoyo will never be able to access Google's search box. Robin Li said very cautiously.

"Yes, I promise!" Liu Yun gritted his teeth and agreed to this request.

He understands that after Google entered the Chinese market, it was directly driven out of the country by the top government officials in just five years, and the ban was still not lifted until 2018, when Liu Yun was reborn.

If you don't use Google, you won't have to use it, and you won't lose too many users.
