Chapter 782: Yahoo Zhang Yimin
After the Yilan people were paralyzed by the people of time last time, they quickly regained their strength, and then continued to attack banks and Internet companies like crazy, but against the time in the United States, Yahoo is thundering and raining, and Huaxia Time and Yahoo have no attacks. Zhou Shi did not call everyone to do it again.
On this day, Zhou Shi came to the Time Building, Yahoo China's office, and was preparing to work when he received a call from Zhu Yunlai.
"My father wants to see you!" Zhu Yunlai
"Your father, why?" Zhou Shi, even if he invited Zhu Yun to do things, it had nothing to do with his father?
"I don't know, do you have time?" said Zhu Yunlai
"Yes, when?" Zhou Shi, he is more in the company to make some directional decisions, regardless of the specific details of the work.
"Tonight, at my father's house, I'll pick you up then. "Zhu Yunlai
"Well, I'm sorry for you. Zhou Shi is also not polite, his opinion of Zhu Yunlai's father is very simple, he is a heroic figure.
Hung up the phone, Zhou Shi called Chen Wen over.
"Collect some information and materials about Mr. Zhu, and help me summarize what kind of person he is and how I should get along with him. "Zhou Shi
“???”
"I'm going to meet with Mr. Zhu tonight. Zhou Shi added
"Wow~~" Although Chen Wen and Zhou Shi have met many big names together, the leaders of the country still have no chance, although there is still no chance this time, but it does not prevent her from expressing surprise.
"Predict, what is he looking for me for?" Zhou Shi
Chen Wen went down quickly, this matter was more urgent, and there was not much time to waste.
Returning to Yahoo's work, in China, Yelp did not enter other companies except Airbnb, but cooperated with Baidu to establish Meituan, and under the leadership of demographic experts and Dianping, the second round of competition in the group buying market began. In the new round of financing, which was opened to third-party venture capital, Shen Nanpeng resigned from Sequoia Capital and joined the Blue Dragon Fund, and at the same time, as one of the conditions, Zhou Shi gave up the suppression of Sequoia China.
Shin's capitulation confirms, to some extent, that talent and money don't necessarily lead to success. Only enterprises that grasp the general trend can have the most opportunities.
Speaking of Yahoo, except for Yelp, Yahoo Brain, Yahoo Portal and some financial products did not enter China. It's a pity that Yahoo Pass doesn't have many users, or mainly some people who are more closely connected overseas use Yahoo Pass, and the number of users is only tens of millions. The most important Yahoo search is only ranked third in the country. However, there is one company that has few users but is the first in the industry, and that is LinkedIn, a professional social networking and SaaS sales platform. LinkedIn DingTalk users are not angry about the development, and they are not as hated as Ali DingTalk in the previous life. After all, Zhou Shi decided from the beginning to let DingTalk enhance the expansion function, so that he could add some features of companies such as NetSuite, such as cloud storage and documents of Time.
The emergence of DingTalk, a widely used platform, has made Wall Street more optimistic about Yahoo. This shows that Linkedin can not only be an Internet headhunting company, but also an advertising and sales platform for enterprises.
Now Yahoo China is a very localized Yahoo, the imagination of the Chinese market, coupled with the trust in Zhou Shi's personal ability, Wall Street investors have more expectations for Yahoo, accompanied by a steady rise in stock prices.
"Mr. Zhou, do you have any way to make Yahoo search to the next level? In the past, when I was in Baidu, Yahoo and Google were defeated, and now I want to think of a way, I haven't even hit the red-coated cannon, which is really a bit embarrassing. "Wang Xiaochuan came to find Zhou Shi
"There is really no way, once the market matures, once the advantage is determined, there will be basically no shortcuts, you don't have illusions. "Zhou Shi
"Hey, then find a way to get us over 360!" Wang Xiaochuan
"Redo 3721 and improve the URL navigation to make it more suitable for the needs of today's users, with more personalized recommendations. "Zhou Shi
"3721 becomes a URL navigation?" Wang Xiaochuan
"Don't you think 3721 is easier to remember and type than 123?"
"Yes, 123 is good and English letters, 3721 is all numbers. "King
It's a pity that the browser strategy is not good,Time Chrome browser at home and abroad upgrade and installation without any problems,Except for the 360 browser because of the bundled installation,Penguin Baidu friend browser has not set off a little storm,It's not right,Several companies that have mastered the law of bundling have begun to promote the whole family bucket。 However, for those who are familiar with the Internet, the most used version is the original Chrome browser. Even if Yahoo made another one, it wouldn't be of much use. As for the input method, the input method of 360 is good enough, just like the 360 compression software, it is not bundled. Relatively speaking, Baidu input method is bundled.
Wang Xiaochuan's three-stage rocket strategy in his previous life was completely resolved at once, and it was really difficult to appear no matter how good the method was. Binding Chrome is one way, but now the contract with Baidu has not expired, and even if it expires, Yahoo may not be able to successfully bid. 3721 URL navigation is just a way to go, and the best thing is to ally with more websites, such as letting the Chinese version of Wikipedia use Yahoo Search.
"Let's increase efforts to promote Yahoo News, Flicker and Toutiao, if the usage of these apps goes up, we will have a foothold in the field of mobile search, and beautiful Flicker pictures should be attractive to users......" Zhou Shi really has no choice, can only rely on strength, little by little competition. Of course, Huaxia consumers may be fooled and have a high tolerance for hooliganism, but with high-quality service, I am afraid that the competition is not as tied as 360. The only advantage is that soon after Google's complete withdrawal from the Chinese market, the new Yahoo can take over part of Google's legacy. Unlike a few years later, Baidu's use has become a habit, and it is difficult for anyone to shake its position on the PC side.
"Yahoo News on the PC side still needs to be done, users have a great demand for information, and high-quality news can attract a group of regular users. "Wang Xiaochuan
"Whatever you want, but be aware of copyright issues, Yahoo is an international company, and the public may demand more from him. Zhou Shi is actually not too worried about the future of Yahoo Search, and it should be no problem to wait until Chrome is bound to Yahoo Search, mobile terminals, UC Browser, Toutiao and other apps will take joint action to win more than 20% of the market share.
"At most, we jump the news link directly to their website, and we only do information distribution. "Wang Xiaochuan
"This is not bad, but our core focus is on Toutiao, that is, self-media and personalized recommendation algorithms. You can't forget this!" Zhou Shi
"You are so optimistic about that Zhang Yimin, and you bought his small company for him. Wang Xiaochuan didn't know why he said this.
In Zhou Shi's opinion, Wang Xiaochuan still has his own disadvantages, in his previous life, it was rumored that he would not find a girlfriend if Sogou was not listed, how can he be reassuring if his personality is so extreme...... The recruitment of Zhang Yimin has long been in his imagination, such a famous figure, Zhou Shi will definitely not forget. Zhang Yimin, who came to Yahoo, is responsible for the development and operation of mobile apps in Yahoo's big data division.
