"Mr~Li, how about it, the other party agreed to come to Baidu, right?"

In Li Yanhong's office in the Baidu company building, Li Yanhong invited Hu Pei, who returned to China to start a business together, and was also anxiously waiting for the result of the call made by Mr. Li.

Li Yanhong, who was standing by the window, took a deep breath.

Looking down from his position, it happens to be the junction of Yanda and Zhongguancun, Li Yanhong returned to China and came here two years ago, pulled up a team, and created Baidu Company, which has grown in scale in the blink of an eye.

It's a pity that going back, he, Li Yanhong, can't find a way to form an ecology, so Baidu can continue to walk.

is destined to end up with a dead end, and Li Yanhong has also figured it out.

At Hu Pei's suggestion, fate has undergone a change here, and it can also be said that the butterfly effect has appeared.

And this idea, after Li Yanhong thought about it for a few nights, he made a decision directly.

"I told the other party that at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the other party promised to come over. When the time comes, the plan and the prepared financing plan will be explained to all shareholders, and from tomorrow, Baidu will officially separate. ”

Walked back to his seat by the window. In just a few steps, Li Yanhong felt that he had walked all the roads in his life.

Looking at the front of the computer desk, there was a plan for Baidu's future planning, which he and Hu Pei had written down all night.

In this plan, Li Yanhong has made bold preparations, determined to split the Baidu search engine technology, and then re-register a search engine company, while Baidu, which is almost an empty shell, is going all out to attack the e-commerce industry.

It has been clearly written in the planning book that after this split, Baidu's shareholding structure will not fluctuate. In other words, there is no change in the shareholding ratio of all owners in general. What has changed is from holding shares in Baidu to holding shares in Baidu companies and search engine companies.

Li Yanhong's split plan, in fact, has almost no actual impact on all shareholders of Baidu, which is equivalent to one set of teams and two sets of management, however, this split, the difficulty that needs to be tested, is whether the shareholders of Baidu are optimistic about the search engine or the Baidu e-commerce after the split. Then choose to make a substantial transition to one of the two companies that will be spun off.

It is equivalent to two brothers in a house dividing the family, and whoever takes the big house will leave the fertile field.

Of course, in the planning book, Li Yanhong also wrote in detail that shareholders are willing to choose Baidu subsidiaries that are more conducive to investment, and they need to make things clear on the table before splitting up, so as not to regret or ridicule in the future.

In fact, Li Yanhong himself has a headache to engage in this split work.

Because he chose not to continue to be an engine and make a wedding dress for others. directly hurt Xu Yong, the old partner who returned to China with him to start a business and established Baidu Company, which is equivalent to the second veteran of Baidu Company.

Xu Yong has made it clear to Li Yanhong.

If Baidu doesn't make an engine, making other products is a dead end. If Li Yanhong has to split Baidu, then he is personally willing to transfer all his shares in Baidu to the split search engine company.

Personal hobbies can go further. It was Xu Yong's advice to Li Yanhong. As an old partner, Xu Yong can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of a friend and partner.

Li Yanhong did this, which can be regarded as a good Baidu company, and it is very likely that the tree will fall apart.

However, if you are not decisive enough to do big things, continue to drag on, and when the time comes, everyone will be played with the capital of promising science and technology and finally get out.

"Hu~ other shareholders, just let you know. ”

Li Yanhong felt that if he called other shareholders, his little heart would collapse, and this matter would be left to Hu Pei, who is now wearing a pair of pants with him.

Xu Yong broke with him directly, and Hu Pei became the last general on Li Yanhong's Internet hegemony.

Hu Pei hopes that Li Yanhong can jump out of the engine field and prove that the Internet industry is actually a one-size-fits-all from another aspect.

"Mr~Li, this time Baidu split into two companies is after Baidu's capital increase, according to the plan, the amount of shareholders to increase the capital, almost close to 800 million, and we take this money, will use 80% as the operating capital of Baidu's e-commerce project, the remaining 20% is left to the search engine, I think, this is also a disguised use of the engine to cash out, you don't have to be frustrated. ”

Seeing the old guys and the down-and-out investors on Wall Street who became poor overnight, Hu Pei said something that could be considered inspiring.

Using the search engine patent in exchange for 600 million project funds, which has become Baidu's current reputation, which is more profitable than selling this patent directly to any foreign company.

"I hope that if there are shareholders who follow us to e-commerce. Maybe Youwei Technology is now wealthy, and at the same time wants engines and e-commerce projects, and wants to plug in, then our splitting is really a loss to Mrs. and a daughter. ”

Li Yanhong could only sigh.

It's also a step at a time.

Now, what he expects most is that Youwei Technology will take the search engine away directly, and as for the project he wants to do, Youwei Technology simply chooses to give up, and Li Yanhong is thankful.

However, the search engine in Baidu, originally than Baidu's re-determined strategic direction of the e-commerce industry can be more able to obtain the support of most people in Baidu, I believe that after this separation, many shareholders will choose to leave, at that time Baidu is Li Yanhong's Baidu, the engine he gave up, all to the white-eyed wolves to fight for, change to a simpler company, let him start over.

Moreover, after Baidu's lesson, Li Yanhong is now also shrewd.

We must do our own ecology, try to raise funds as late as possible, and the financing party should also choose those investment banks or consortia that simply want to invest and obtain profits, so that the probability of the company in their own hands will be higher.

Hold your forehead with your hand.

Li Yanhong didn't want to say a word at the moment.

He and Hu Pei stayed in the office for a while.

The phone on the desk rang.

The phone came from the personnel department, and Li Yanhong directly picked it up and put it to his ear and asked what was wrong.

On the other side of the personnel department, the reply to Li Yanhong was: "Mr. Li, more than 50 of our employees today, including some middle-level leaders, have all submitted their resignations! ”
