Chapter 508: Centralization of the Business Empire
Seeing that the time is approaching the end of the year, Li Feiteng's enterprise group has entered the stage of meeting and summing up.
At the end of this year, he will be extra busy, because last year's serious illness and the arrival of the new Internet era gave Li Feiteng a grand idea.
In 1997, Li Feiteng officially proposed the concept of portal, and he was evaluated by the industry as the "father of Chinese portal".
In 1999, Qingmu, NetEase, Longteng, and Soarc were known as the "four major portals in China", two of which were founded by Li Feiteng, and even NetEase, which was not founded by himself, was invested by him many times, and in the process of development, the relationship with Qingmu and Longteng was quite close.
The listing of the portal, China.com, which did not have good traffic, was listed on the Nardas Exchange in 1999, Qingmu in May 2000, and Soarc followed in June.
In the continuation of this Internet bubble, China.com and Lifang Online have been crumbling, and everyone can see that these two portals will definitely go bankrupt, but Li Feiteng is letting Ru Lynch buy a large number of shares of China.com in the United States.
At the same time, he is also considering acquiring Wang Zhidong's "Lifang Online" recently.
The development stage of the portal network is divided into three processes, the first process is that since 1994, the traditional portal stage represented by Yahoo, the website is divided into categories, and the valuable information is integrated together in a tree-like structure, and the one-way more powerful mass communication is the mainstay.
In China, Qingmu, NetEase, and Longteng are currently such public portals.
The second stage is the era of search engines represented by Google. The website uses "keywords" to bring together a huge amount of valuable information. Let the user query. The search engine solves the problem of Internet information explosion that cannot be solved by traditional portals. The mode of transmission has become bidirectional.
To put it simply, Qingmu is a news provider, what to show users. Not only that, but Google also meets what users need, and they can see what they want, which is the charm of search engines.
In the future, the third stage is the WEB 2.0 era, and the website will give the right of choice and dissemination to the user. Provide users with a platform to act as communicators and dominate the source of content on the Internet.
To put it simply, it is the era of the scarf, everyone is a journalist, the website has become a platform, and every user is the creator of news topics.
No one knows the Internet better than Li Feiteng, he is always a few steps ahead of others, and Google and Baidu are portals that belong to the second stage.
Is there really competition between Philip Lee's major companies?
The answer is no, Baidu's source of news content. At present, they are all four major portals, and it relies on the four major portals to survive. The four portals act as news disseminators and are monitored by the state.
This is also the reason why Li Feiteng followed the steps and launched different types of websites step by step.
For example, the scarf platform, is it really not a big hit in this era?
Of course it will, everyone is eager to be noticed, there are too few people who are willing to be lonely, Li Feiteng is now launching a bib net, which can still be popular in China!
But will the state agree?
Definitely not, the scarf is that the domestic Internet has entered a mature period, the country's regulatory policy on the Internet has been relaxed, and the superiors finally understand that it is impossible to plug the mouths of the people, and they also have to accept the unstable dìng impact brought by the Internet, from treating the Internet as a wild beast to a kind of identity to participate in it.
In the past, Li Feiteng may have made the Internet very clear, the portal network is the portal network, the search engine is the search engine, and the instant messaging software is the instant messaging software, in fact, he has now entered an enlightened ideological realm.
Google, Qingmu, Longteng, Baidu, NetEase There is no real difference between these companies, the core purpose is the same, to serve netizens, in different ways, but they are all to obtain and control user resources.
With these ideas, Li Feiteng is ready to truly achieve unification.
The so-called unification is to truly merge all his companies into a global large Internet company comparable to the Microsoft empire!
The era of competing and working independently is coming to an end, and Li Feiteng is finally going to do it and realize his dream of an Internet empire!
Like a plate of loose development, the benefits are like eggs that don't fit in one basket.
But the advantage of a large group that is cohesive is that the resources are shared intimately, the survivability is stronger, and Microsoft and Yahoo have the real strength to compete with the court!
However, it is not an easy thing to achieve such unification, for example, from a vassal state to an imperial system, this process is very difficult, and if the person in charge of a certain company is dissatisfied, it may affect the whole body and cause a total collapse.
It is precisely because of the difficulty that Li Feiteng is very excited and excited, he has not been in such a state at work for a long time, which ignites a man's desire to fight!
On October 14, Li Feiteng officially set off on his private plane, and he did not take anyone with him except for being accompanied by bodyguards.
Google is Li Feiteng's largest Internet company at present, and after the integration with Soxin this year, the development speed is like a rocket launched, and anyone can see that this company is going to be popular all over the world.
The unification that Li Feiteng wants to achieve is to select the best company and put all his other companies under his umbrella, either by merging departments, or by becoming his second-level subsidiary.
He can only choose Google, and there is no second choice, because even if Qingmu and Longteng are under his personal guidance, they still can't really compete with Google.
Therefore, he can only set up Google Group, Qingmu, Longteng, and NetEase will become the second-level subsidiaries of this group, and they will no longer be like before, although there is cooperation, but there is also competition.
At the headquarters of Google in Silicon Valley, after Li Feiteng arrived, he immediately convened an urgent board meeting.
Several major shareholders soon arrived, Li Feiteng stood in the center of the conference table, he said loudly: "Everyone, the decision I want to make today will affect the entire global Internet industry, Google was established only three years ago, but the speed of development has shocked Yahoo and Microsoft, yes, we have always regarded Yahoo and Microsoft as the biggest enemy in the market, because we believe that Google's future blueprint is extremely grand!" ”
"I used to be the godfather of the Internet in China, but now I want to be one of the giants of the global Internet, so from today onwards, Google will negotiate with all the Internet companies I invest in and hold one by one to achieve real integration and unification! And I will be responsible for the great and glorious business mission of Google Group! ”
"I think this is an important first step towards an Internet business empire!" (To be continued......)
