At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Imperial Hall of Yanjing Hotel, the first press conference after the establishment of Baidu two months ago was held as scheduled.

On the rostrum, Zhang Siyuan sat in the middle. Li Hongyan sat on Zhang Siyuan's right, plus three other employees at Baidu, exactly five people. Under the podium, the invited media filled the seats below. There are even some people who are standing, which also makes Zhang Siyuan understand the huge energy of Old Man Guo.

After all, Zhang Siyuan just made a phone call to Mr. Guo to mention it, and Mr. Guo only said that he would not let him down. I didn't expect that in just one day, there would be so many people from the media.

Looking at the packed hall below, Zhang Siyuan cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Welcome to this Baidu press conference, I believe that everyone here must be very interested in what kind of company Baidu is." I am also curious about what the relationship between me and this company is, and I would like to invite Mr. Li Hongyan, President of Baidu, to introduce Baidu to you. ”

While Zhang Siyuan was talking, the flash below kept on. So far, Zhang Siyuan has only appeared in front of the news media once, and that was when he sold his shares in Sohu. The reason why Mr. Guo was able to invite so many media to come at once this time was because the media would give face when they heard that it was a press conference held by Zhang Siyuan.

You must know that Zhang Siyuan is now known as the new generation of Chinese dream by the outside world, and the public is full of interest in Zhang Siyuan. However, Zhang Siyuan's information circulating outside is too scarce, and he basically does not participate in any activities that may be interviewed by the media. This time, they were able to attend the press conference held by Zhang Siyuan himself, and they believed that they would definitely be able to get some news about Zhang Siyuan.

After Zhang Siyuan's voice fell, looking at so many news media below, Li Hongyan, who had experienced this kind of battle for the first time, was still a little nervous. The reporters below can hear a tremor from Li Hongyan's tone, but as Zhang Siyuan said, they are very curious about what kind of company Baidu is and what kind of relationship it has with Zhang Siyuan, so they all listened patiently to Li Hongyan's introduction above.

Some people are born to belong to the stage, and after the initial nervousness, Li Hongyan spoke more and more calmly. The reporters below were gradually attracted by his introduction, instead of staring at Zhang Siyuan one by one. The flash light also naturally shifted to him, and after Li Hongyan finished speaking, there was some applause below.

After Li Hongyan finished speaking, Zhang Siyuan continued: "Let's go directly to the question session, because the friends are too face-saving and the number of people is a bit large, so we won't answer them one by one." We will randomly select one journalist friend from each row to answer the question, and as for the journalist friend who is not selected, I can only say sorry. ”

As soon as Zhang Siyuan's words fell, a reporter sitting in the first row instantly raised his hand. Zhang Siyuan stretched out his hand to signal the reporter to ask, and the reporter did not hesitate, stood up and asked Zhang Siyuan: "May I ask Mr. Zhang, what is your relationship with Baidu, and why is Baidu's press conference held by you?"

"Regarding my relationship with Baidu, I believe everyone has also speculated in their hearts. I think it should be in line with the speculation of most journalists, I reached an agreement with Li Hongyan and Mr. Li yesterday, I am about to acquire 40% of Baidu's shares and become Baidu's second largest shareholder. So I should be an employee of Baidu, and nothing else matters. Zhang Siyuan replied with a smile.

After Zhang Siyuan finished saying this, some of the following authors sent the copywriting to the newspaper in a frenzied manner, striving to let their owners be the first to spread the news. In Li Hongyan's introduction just now, they already know that Baidu is a search engine-based company, and Zhang Siyuan's shareholding means that Zhang Siyuan is already reaching out to the search engine market.

For Zhang Siyuan, who is known as the darling of the Internet in the mouth of the media, he has reached out to the search engine market, and these reporters have already completed the editing of the copy. For example, the second headline such as Google has also appeared on the tables of the editors-in-chief of various newspapers, after all, the most important thing in a newspaper is the catchy headline first, and then the content.

After answering the question, Zhang Siyuan pointed to a reporter in the second row who was moving faster. The reporter saw that Zhang Siyuan had chosen himself, and like the first reporter, he asked Zhang Siyuan without thinking: "I don't know what Mr. Zhang thinks about Mr. Huang Yuguang's stake in Alibaba and the strategic alliance with Tencent?"

The meat scene came, and when the second reporter asked a question, many of the reporters below became excited. It is equivalent to the question asked by the first reporter, and the question asked by the second reporter is what they are most concerned about. Because this kind of problem can easily spark and cause heat. Thinking that if there were any radical remarks when Zhang Siyuan answered, and Huang Yuguang would be involved at that time, then there would be no need to worry about the lack of content in this issue of the newspaper.

Who knows that Zhang Siyuan is still smiling: "I don't want to answer this friend's question." Because today is Baidu's press conference, it has nothing to do with Times Technology. But since this journalist friend has already asked, I will answer. Regarding Mr. Huang Yuguang's investment in Alibaba, I think Mr. Huang Yuguang's vision is very high. Personally, I am also very optimistic about Alibaba, but I didn't expect to be the first to be taken by Mr. Huang Yuguang. As for Alibaba and Tencent becoming a strategic alliance, I don't really have any opinion. ”

"Journalist friend, please ask your question. Don't ask any more questions about me, let me be clear: from now on, I will not answer any questions that have nothing to do with Baidu at this press conference. I also hope that all media friends can ask more questions to Mr. Li Hongyan, instead of staring at me as a young man. Zhang Siyuan didn't give the reporter a chance to continue talking, but clicked on the next reporter's question.

At the same time, the following reporters' ideas of wanting to create explosive news have been shattered, and Zhang Siyuan has already said that he will not answer any questions that have nothing to do with Baidu, so they can naturally understand what Zhang Siyuan means. This is Baidu's press conference, and it is most correct to ask questions related to Baidu.

The reporter who was pointed out by Zhang Siyuan was not the same as the previous two reporters, and after listening to Zhang Siyuan's statement, he knew that he couldn't get any explosive news from Zhang Siyuan's mouth. So if you want to have any attractive news, you can only start with Li Hongyan.

The third reporter stood up, held the microphone in his hand, and said with a smile: "Just after listening to Baidu's introduction, I and my colleagues here have some understanding of Baidu. However, in Mr. Li Hongyan's introduction just now, about Baidu's future development plans, I said that I did not understand something. I don't know if Mr. Li Hongyan's statement about being the best search engine is really confident, or is it just grandstanding?"

Li Hongyan, who was asked, couldn't help but think of what Zhang Siyuan said during the meal, and replied unhurriedly: "Of course, it is confidence, I graduated from the United States, quit a high-paying job in Silicon Valley, and came back with a search engine patent, just to let the world know that we in China will also have a company with the world's top search engine technology!"

"As a developer, I am confident enough to develop the best search engine. Now people only know Yahoo and Google, but in a year, I will let a small number of people know Baidu, and in two years, I will let most people know Baidu. In three years, I will make Baidu's name famous throughout the country. In five years, I want to let the whole world know Baidu. Let those people abroad think that there is a company called Baidu in China when they mention the problem of search engines!"

After Li Hongyan's words were finished, the entire imperial hall fell into a commotion. Reporters from various media outlets were discussing what Li Hongyan had said, and they were all disdainful of Li Hongyan's daydreaming. If it weren't for the press conference held by Zhang Siyuan, then many media reporters might have gotten up and left at this time.

There was a commotion below, but Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting in Li Hongyan, suddenly applauded: "I believe that Mr. Li Hongyan will be able to develop Baidu into what he envisioned, and I also believe that all media friends are willing to witness that day with me." ”

After hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, the reporters from various media who were originally discussing fiercely below also reacted. This is someone's press conference, and it still has to give face. also applauded with Zhang Siyuan, the reporter who asked the question was already editing the copy and passing it to the newspaper at this time. From Li Hongyan's answer and Zhang Siyuan's support, his intuition told him that this news would be a hot news.

I don't know if Li Hongyan has a good idea or Zhang Siyuan is lucky, and the next few reporters who were asked by Zhang Siyuan were all asking some regular questions. did not draw the kind of reporter who found fault with Li Hongyan's speech just now, and the press conference ended safely according to Zhang Siyuan's assumption.

In a box at the Yanjing Hotel, Zhang Siyuan, who had signed the contract, put away a contract, and then said to Li Hongyan with a smile: "What Mr. Li said just now is really exciting, I really didn't expect Mr. Li to say such inspiring words." ”

It's just that Li Hongyan, who was impassioned on the stage just now, asked Zhang Siyuan with some concern at this time: "Mr. Zhang, what I just said on the rostrum, will it be too high-profile and too ashamed?"

Who knew that Zhang Siyuan's face sank suddenly, and he said to Li Hongyan: "If a R&D person doesn't even have enough confidence in the products he has developed, then I think Mr. Li, you can sell Baidu's search engine patent directly to me." ”
