Chapter 203: Advertising Causes Trouble?
Although the war between QQ and ICQ is not completely over, ICQ has almost no chance of turning around. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And in this war between ICQ and QQ, it is QQ that benefits the most, but it is also Ye Qiu.
ICQ's strong intervention allowed Ye Qiu to successfully increase his stake in QQ, and now Ye Qiu's stake in QQ is almost equal to Ma Tengyun.
Ye Qiu still has a lot of money left from the share loan of Creative Media, but the interest is not low, so after the QQ matter is over for the time being, it is time for Ye Qiu to think about how to spend the money.
For the time being, the time is not ripe, and now even Alipay has not yet been launched, online shopping for Chinese netizens, although there was a QQ mall before, but in fact, QQ Mall is still a bottomless pit, as for the habit of online shopping?
So the most worthwhile investment at the moment is Qianbaidu, before, Ye Qiu didn't mention this matter to Li Hualong because of the limited cash in his hand.
Now that you have the money in your hands, it's time to mention it. It's just that Ye Qiu checked the recent situation of the Qianbaidu search engine on the Internet, and his brows furrowed.
During the period when Ye Qiu was focusing on the QQ and ICQ wars, C.Baidu actually completed a Series A financing.
With a valuation of 800 million, C.Baidu successfully raised 200 million Chinese dollars in Series A and gave up 25 shares.
The valuation of 800 million Chinese dollars is actually not a low valuation for the current C100.
The reason why Ye Qiu frowned was that the company's company could be said to be Ye Qiu's old acquaintance, the Yu Group.
After two years, Ye Qiu still remembers the young east of the Yu Group and Yu Donglai.
Although in business, there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests, Ye Qiu really didn't like Yu Donglai at that time, and he also didn't like to have anything to do with the Yu Group.
Yu's Group invests in Qianbaidu and invests in Qianbaidu himself, although there is no conflict of interest, Ye Qiu still doesn't like it.
It's just that the search engine is a particularly optimistic part of Ye Qiu's plan, and it would be a pity if he gave up.
Ye Qiu checked it on the Internet again, in fact, Qianbaidu is far from being as powerful in China as it is in later generations, although Qianbaidu has emerged at this time and occupies most of the share, but there are still opponents.
There are currently two main opponents of C100, one is Soso, and the other is to cover the world.
Among them, the Internet world was founded the earliest, but now it is the bottom existence, and the other search is the latest.
The background of Wang Shidong, the founder of Soso, made Ye Qiu have some interest, Wang Shidong originally founded a search company in the United States with a friend, at the beginning, the development prospects were also very good, but the result was defeated by the current No. 1 search engine in the United States Gu Gou, and finally was acquired by Gu Gou.
Wang Shidong, as a major shareholder, also got a lot of money, in the United States he knows that Gugou has become a general trend, but in the motherland of China search engine is still in the ascendant, so, with the money from the sale of the company, Wang Shidong returned to China to found SOSO.
At the technical level, in fact, Sosou and C&D have their own ups and downs, but Sosou started late after all, and the search engine is a money-burning thing, because C&D started early, and it cooperated with several other major portals one step ahead of Soso, so the development of Sosou has been very restricted.
Especially after C.Baidu obtained another 200 million yuan in financing, Soso's situation became more and more difficult.
In this way, it seems that Sosou is also a good choice, but Soso's market share is really low, only a little more than 10%.
It's a bit like the market share of QQ and ICQ.
Moreover, in fact, Sosou and Qianbaidu are also somewhat similar to QQ and ICQ, just like the Qianbaidu knowledge launched by Qianbaidu at present, which is somewhat similar to Baidu Encyclopedia in later generations, in fact, the first to launch this product was Soso.
It's just that because of the fast speed of Qianbaidu's imitation and the higher market share of Qianbaidu, Sosou launched this function is a bit like making a wedding dress for others.
But it seems that this Wang Shidong is still very capable.
And if it is a thousand degrees, Ye Qiu will definitely not give up too many shares when he comes to Li Hualong, if there is no first round of financing from the Yu Group, maybe Ye Qiu will be able to get a lot of shares from Li Hualong, but now, I am afraid it will be difficult.
Thinking about it this way, on the contrary, the search search that is currently in a very poor situation is more suitable, Ye Qiu believes that Wang Shidong should be able to see the current situation of the search engine clearly.
Once Qianbaidu dominates the rivers and lakes like QQ, then Sosou can only end in disgrace.
Of course, everything has to be decided in person and discussed.
At this time, the mobile phone rang, and it was a call from Gao Erli.
"Ye Qiu, I'm getting married, the wedding date has been set for May 20th, I'll send you to the company with the invitation, you must come to drink the wedding wine at that time." Gao Erli said.
"Okay, I can't see it, you kid still has two more hits, congratulations, don't worry, I'll definitely be there then." However, it's quite sudden, shouldn't you kid get married to your son?" Ye Qiu was also sincerely happy for Gao Erli, and joked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Gao Erli said a little awkwardly: "Hehe, what, that's what it's like anyway." ”
"Okay, I know, I'll definitely go then. Ye Qiuwan said with a smile.
"By the way, how is "Jiangnan Zero Distance" doing now? I've been busy lately and haven't watched it much. Ye Qiu asked again. After all, it was my own idea.
Gao Erli said with a smile: "It's very good, it has become the main program of Jiangnan City Station, but ...... Huh. ”
Gao Erli was halfway through speaking, and suddenly sighed again, but didn't say anything more.
"But what? I said, Erli, it's not like you, twisting and pinching. Ye Qiu feigned anger.
"It's just that the recent episode of the show was stopped and remade, speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you. Gao Erli pondered for a moment and said something that made Ye Qiuyun foggy.
"What content will be stopped? Does it have anything to do with me?" Ye Qiu was really a little dazed.
"That commercial film of Qianbaidu is the idea you gave, right?" asked Gao Erli.
"Well, what's wrong?" Ye Qiu was a little suspicious, and thought about it again, it doesn't seem to be, that commercial is actually just a public service advertisement, it's about family affection, it should be full of positive energy, how can there be a problem?
"It's not that there's a problem with that ad, I've also seen that ad, it's really outstanding, and I'm thinking that I'll buy one for my family when I earn a little more." ”
"The reason why I say it has a relationship is because that thing, so to speak, really started from the advertising idea you made for C&D. Gao Erli said.
"Let's talk about it, what's going on?" Ye Qiu is interested, "Jiangnan Zero Distance" is mainly a livelihood program, and sometimes it will inevitably touch some related vested interests, listening to Gao Erli's words, it is obvious that the reason why it was stopped should be that the content of the program may have touched the nerves of some people.
