A few months ago, Chen Zier publicly said this in his first formal media interview: I am very interested in many concepts of the Internet, and I know that there are many entrepreneurs who are working on it, and I want to say that since there are Chinese to do it, then I will invest in them and support them to do it...... Instead of throwing yourself into it to make money.

This is Chen Zier's true thoughts, but if he can't reach his height, he will actually feel that this passage is a bit of a flaunting taste.

Li Yanhong may not think that he is completely nonsense, but if he can say that he can understand it completely, it should be something he can't do.

It's just that at this moment, the legendary young rich man said the same thing, with a little national color, mixed with a little national feelings, and I don't know whether it should be classified as a kind of persistence or a kind of naivety.

"When I was studying in the United States in '92, a professor asked me a lot of questions, and now I don't remember much, but the last question impressed me and made me determined to make a little achievement in the computer industry. ”

Chen Zier asked, "What's the problem?"

"He asked me, do you have computers in China?" he said with a characteristic shy smile, "I really couldn't answer at that time, because it was 1992, and I really hadn't seen a computer much in China." Later, I also worked at Excite, but I probably didn't have enough say in the product, and after seeing the gap in search engines in China's Internet field, I finally decided to return to China from Silicon Valley and start my own business. ”

He was briefly talking about his original intention and experience of starting a business, trying to convince Chen Zier that he had this ability, and the market also left him room for success.

Chen Zier glanced at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were still very tight.

"Did you see this opportunity in China and choose to start a business?" After seeing Li Yanhong nodding, he asked: "What about the mission, what is the mission of Baidu?"

"Technology changes the world. Li Yanhong said succinctly and firmly.

Chen Zier lay back in his chair and was silent for a while, technology changes the world... So that's why most of the links on the first page of the whiteness are ads?

The final disconnect of whiteness, Chen Zier is an outsider after all, and he doesn't know much about the details, now that he thinks about it, this conversation alone may not have any results, the negative impact of bidding ranking, he believes that people as smart as Li Yanhong will not know.

What an obvious thing, people with a little bit of intelligence can't understand it, let alone such a smart Peking University student.

Well, don't worry about that, get the moment in order.

"About the positioning of search engine companies. Chen Zier regained his spirits, held the business plan in his hand, shook it, and said three words lightly, "There is a problem." ”

"Something?" Li Yanhong sighed in his heart.

"Yes," Chen Zier turned one of the pages, "you have developed a product, the technology of the product is very good, and you want to use it to serve the portal, and then charge a technical service fee." ”

It's a very reasonable way of thinking, "yes, that's what we're looking for for the company right now." ”

Just this moment of change, Li Yanhong felt that the person in front of him suddenly changed, when he first came in, he smiled, spoke slowly, and spoke in a flat tone, but I don't know why, at this moment he suddenly became sharp-eyed, spoke sharply, and was full of confidence!

Maybe this is the real Chen Fuhao?

"Reasonable, but not marketable. Compared with other Chinese search engines in China, you have a background in Silicon Valley, your own search technology can be ranked on the top in the world, whiteness technology is indeed excellent, you can easily occupy this market, but engaging in technology and doing business are two concept things. The first question,"

Chen Zier raised his index finger, "Now the NASDAQ has been pouring thousands of miles, from China.com to Xinlang and Wangyi, and the stocks of all portal companies have become a piece of waste paper." If you've done a little bit of business, you should know. ”

He looked directly at him and said with great certainty: "At this time, every website will only use the 'cheapest technology', not the 'best technology'." ”

This is a very understandable truth.

Li Yanhong nodded silently.

"So you will also be forced to be cheap, ok, the Internet is an asset-light industry, you can do it at the beginning, but in fact, when I see this plan, I can probably deduce the problem of whiteness in a year. ”

Chen Zier's tone was full of confidence, "A year later, I believe that with the technology of whiteness, you will win most portals, such as Home Credit, Sohu, Xinlang... Each one will use the whiteness search box, and you will occupy 80% of the Chinese search market. ”

"But the problem is, whiteness doesn't make money. ”

"I've already said one of the reasons, it's winter, and everyone is having a hard time. The technical service fee received by Baidu will not be much, and it is not even enough to support the overhead. In addition, there is also the problem of thinking, search engines are a very necessary thing for websites, you can bring traffic to them, but the problem is that this does not produce economic benefits, the problem for them is: with whiteness is convenient for customers, but there is no direct benefit. ”

"This will form a situation, not one or two, but all websites will push down the technical service fee of Baidu, or even default. ”

Chen Ziyi raised a second finger, "So now I want to say the second question, on the one hand, Baidu will become the leader of Chinese search, you have to serve more and more search requests, inevitably, Baidu's broadband and servers must be constantly upgraded, that is, this hand can not receive money at the same time, the other hand will have to spend more money." ”

The third finger was raised, "There is also a potential problem, if the portal tries to develop its own search technology, what about whiteness? This is a huge crisis at the core, because even if the technology is not as good as whiteness, but my own son is dear." ”

Chen Zier finally said: "So the conclusion is that the positioning of whiteness in this business plan limits the growth space of whiteness, and it is very problematic!"

Li Yanhong was deafening when he heard it, and he looked at Chen Zier who was talking eloquently with shock, what an industry vision this is!

"We ...... We are problem-oriented, and the current problem of whiteness is not to think about what to do after occupying the Chinese search market, but how to occupy the Chinese search market. ”

Chen Zier raised his eyebrows, thinking that the big guy is the big guy, smart, and he answered very well.

He did not deny his deduction for a year later, but retold the goal and prospect of whiteness from another angle.

Then he said: "Of course, Mr. Chen thinks from a higher angle and a longer-term perspective, which is no problem, but ...... But I want to ask, are you really that confident in what you will be able to do in a year's time?"

"Of course, I flipped a few pages and probably figured it out. ”

Li Yanhong: "......"

Turn a few pages and you can think that you are not a genius, but a demon!
