The development of Tieba is really fast, and before May, the total number of posts has exceeded the 10 million mark. Although there is a guide and active atmosphere of the company itself, it is more about the participation of the users themselves. Very low barrier to entry, relatively free discussion environment, clean and refreshing interface. Interest-based stickers are supported by too many people. The launch of Time.com also made those elites less complaining about the grassroots of Tieba. After all, the grassroots today are much less hostile than the grassroots groups in 10 years.

"Tiancheng, how is it?, has the banner of celebration been hung up?" Zhou Shi hurriedly asked when he came to the company. The task given to him last time was completed quite well, and the cooperation with Yahoo was quite smooth, with one more traffic entrance, and the growth of new users has been greatly improved. Zhou Shi already had the idea of establishing branches in various places to disperse the pressure on servers and improve the user access experience, but unfortunately the funds were not enough for the time being.

"It's already hung up, but Mr. Zhou, can we start advertising?" Although He Tiancheng was very excited, he still had a lot of ideas about the market. It's a pity that hundreds of thousands of daily active users don't take advantage of it, and the registered users are about to break through the 10 million mark, and the commercial value is very obvious.

"There's no hurry, our brand advantage hasn't been established yet, and I want to think about advertising later. ”

"However, we have no income all this time, and we have no way. "He Tiancheng

"Otherwise, you put down the post, concentrate on doing a good job on the time network, and then find Wang Feng to ask a few people to develop our advertising system, my requirements are less and fine, do not affect the user experience, do not float ads, what do you think?" Zhou Shi was quite confident in this guy, and deliberately handed over the operation of the post bar in entertainment and sports to him, who knew that this guy didn't care at all, but Yin Yue was responsible for the part, and a mysterious person speculated that Chen A-bian might use the self-directed and self-staged shooting mode to win the election before the Taiwan election. After the results came out, it was put to the top of the post bar, which caused a lot of discussion, and for a time the entire domestic Internet paid attention to the post bar. Otherwise, the number of registered users would not have reached 10 million so quickly.

"Okay! I just don't want to do it. He Tiancheng didn't finish speaking, so he covered his mouth

Zhou Shi doesn't care, let him be. It's really hard to say who is better now. But the super girl summer is about to begin, and the fan culture should start to be born from the post bar this time, and the future development is a little confusing. Baidu Tieba is now a slow step, step by step, not even one-third of the scale of Tieba, which may also be related to Baidu and the lack of support given.

"By the way, how has Time Network been these days?" While walking to the office, he still asked about He Tiancheng Time Network. The skyrocketing number of visits a few days ago almost dragged down the server of Tieba. Servers are now purchased almost every week, and these infrastructures, including bandwidth, account for almost most of Tieba's operating costs.

"Zhou Shi, come over here. Before He Tiancheng could answer, Wang Feng came over.

Coming to the office together, Wang Feng closed the door. With a heavy face, he said to Zhou Shi: "We rejected Baidu's offer and shouted out a price of $50 million, Baidu gave up the offer to us, and I also heard that Baidu is going to block us from posting it." All search requests for Tieba will be imported into Baidu Tieba by them. ”

"Ahh Zhou Shi said in disbelief, he couldn't have imagined that there would be such a trick if the acquisition could not be achieved. In fact, if Baidu's price wasn't too low, Zhou Shi really had the idea of selling Tieba to Baidu. In the previous life, Baidu Tieba didn't seem to make much money, and traffic realization didn't seem to have much income. Zhou Shi is just because it is relatively simple to start a business in Tieba, and there is a sense of bad taste. The development has consumed most of Zhou Shi's cash so far, and if he devotes himself wholeheartedly to financial speculation, he may have 10 million US dollars in funds now. Baidu's offer is less than 10 million.

"It should be true, it can't be wrong. Wang Feng then said affirmatively.

Zhou Shi lowered his head and pondered, although he had prepared some back-ups, he still didn't know if he could fight Baidu this time, after all, it was Baidu!

"What is Baidu's current market share?" Zhou Shi remembered the key.

"I think it's about 35 percent. Wang Feng is also not sure.

"Let's go check it out first. Zhou Shi still wants to figure out that information at the beginning of the year shows that there are now about 80 million Internet users in China. If Baidu's market share had the scale of its previous life, Zhou Shi would have surrendered a long time ago, and there would be no chance of winning at all.

"I found it, and now it's about 39 percent. "Wang Feng

"Why are there so many, Yahoo?" Zhou Shi

"Forty-two percent of Yahoo. "Wang Feng

"I hope Baidu won't mess with me, but I can't abolish Baidu. Zhou Shi muttered to himself

"What? What did you just say?" Wang Feng

"I said, if Baidu goes too far, I will support Yahoo to kill Baidu," Zhou Shi said viciously

“……”

Baidu's matter has not yet come to a conclusion, IDG's people found it through Zhou Hongyi, and this time Sect Leader Zhou is ready to use his private identity to invest in Time Company with IDG.

The promotion of the concept of Web2.0, Zhou Shi's articles have been widely reprinted, but unfortunately no one has named him the father of Web2.0. But there are still benefits, in addition to the value of the post bar itself, the arrival of IDG has also played a great role in Zhou Shi's concept, at least that's what the other party said. In the face of Baidu's strength, Zhou Shi is also willing to have someone come over to share the pressure. A few days later, the due diligence began, and Tieba once again released a celebratory banner: warmly celebrate the number of Tieba registrations exceeding 10 million!

This almost heralds the birth of another giant of the Internet. You must know that the total number of Internet users in China is only 80 million, and one-eighth of the users use it, which can almost be said to be the first innovative forum in China. At the same time, after a few days of preparation, Zhou Shi and everyone improved it and launched the code of conduct to standardize user behavior, and recruit volunteers to assist the company in management. These include user complaints and suggestions, as well as deletion of posts. In the future, the income from deleted posts will certainly not be made public, or it may be included in the employee fund.

With a large number of reports on the domestic Internet on Tieba, Baidu's blocking of Time Tieba has finally begun. Although it is not blatantly said, but the first line of the user using Baidu search Tieba shows Baidu Tieba, and it is not until the last few lines of the first page that there is no trace of Time Tieba.

The biggest crisis since the establishment of the post bar came out quietly on May 10th, but except for the employees of Time Company, others didn't know for a while.
