Chapter 377: "Baidu" is coming
Yahoo Headquarters, USA.
Yahoo was the first website in the world to offer Internet navigation services, and is a leader in terms of views, online advertising, and home and business user contact, and is one of the most well-known and valuable Internet brands, ranking first among consumer brands worldwide. Yahoo also offers a variety of business and corporate services on its website to help customers increase productivity and internet usage, including the popular Yahoo Intranet, which provides customized website solutions for businesses; audio and video playback, store website storage and management; and other website tools and services. Yahoo has 24 websites around the world, and is headquartered in St. Clark, California, with offices in Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Canada and the United States.
However, back in the days of Yahoo, it was quite dramatic.
At that time, Yahoo was founded by Mr. Yang Zhiyuan, a Chinese American, and one of his American classmates, David. "And, at the time, they just wanted to use Yahoo to search for something relevant to their research. This idea is similar to the creation of the Chinese hao123. However, Yahoo, founded by Yang Zhiyuan, is more technical and has greater repercussions than hao123.
Then, Yahoo was born out of such a coincidence. It wasn't until Yahoo went public that an internet miracle began to emerge. So far, Yahoo's stock price has risen day by day, more than 20 times a year. In addition, some other Internet companies are keeping up. As a result, American Internet companies began to develop significantly.
Until now, Yahoo has gone one step further and become a global gateway and search-in-one Internet provider.
"Hello, I am very happy to meet a Chinese on the other side."
The chairman of Yahoo is Yang Zhiyuan, who is also the spiritual leader of Yahoo, and this time it is Baidu's Robin Li who came to Yahoo.
"I'm also glad that the person who came to Yahoo today is also a Chinese."
Nowadays, China is developing extremely rapidly, and there are Chinese everywhere in the world.
As Yang Zhiyuan, although he has stayed in the United States for many years, he has not forgotten his love for the motherland.
The two exchanged polite words, and then Robin Li began to say, "I heard that Yahoo has been working with Google for web search business. ”
Yahoo has actually provided search services for a long time, but until the advent of Google, Yahoo has cooperated with Google to use Google's search technology to launch search services. This is like hao123, on which Baidu's search business is hung. Xingran, Baidu has always had to provide promotion fees to hao123, but in the end, it was Baidu that fattened up.
Today, Yahoo is partnering with Google. It's even more depressing than hao123, because Yahoo also has to submit a search technology fee to Google every year. Of course, Google will also pay Yahoo a small amount of search engine promotion fees. But this promotion fee is nothing compared to the technology fee provided by Yahoo.
"Yes, we at Yahoo have already bought a stake in Google, so, all along, we've been working together."
Google's first investor was Yahoo. Even, in the past, Google had to report its annual report to Yahoo. These contents are already public things, Yang Zhiyuan did not deny it but nodded.
"Has Yahoo always wanted to continue working with Google?"
The purpose of Robin Li's visit to Yahoo today is to split the alliance between Yahoo and Google.
In fact, without Baidu to follow the historical development, Yahoo itself will be separated from Google. However, as soon as Chen Jia came to this world, many situations were different from those in his previous life. Coupled with the fact that it has caused such a big impact on the world Internet, it is not impossible for Yahoo and Google to continue to cooperate. Therefore, Chen Jiayi also sent Robin Li to go there, hoping to dismantle Yahoo and Google now.
"This, I'm sorry, I can't reveal it for the time being."
This involves Yahoo's future business operations, and people with a little business considerations will not say it.
"It's me who was reckless."
Robin Li laughed, but he was calm, he had actually been thinking about it for a long time this time, "I came to Yahoo this time today, but there is actually nothing." I just want to discuss with Mr. Yang about the development of the Internet. I have a question, I want to ask Mr. Yang, I don't know if Mr. Yang can help me answer. ”
"Please say, if I can help Mr. Li, I know everything." ,
"Thank you."
Yang Zhiyuan didn't know what Robin Li meant by coming to Yahoo, and even now, he was confused. However, then, he was quickly attracted by Robin Li's question.
"Mr. Li, what I want to ask is, what is the most important thing in the development of the Internet?"
"The most important?"
Yang Zhiyuan thought about it and remembered the development of Yahoo.
It seems that Yahoo's development is completely leading the world in technology, and changing the world with innovation. Even Google started with technology, and its search engine technology is so good that otherwise, Yahoo wouldn't have used its search technology. It's just that the Internet made its fortune on technology?
No,no,no……
The development of the Internet has been seen by more and more people.
In fact, the Internet is the least technical industry. For example, Google's search engine and Baidu's search engine are also very strong. For example, Yahoo, for example, the Tang Dynasty company's Renren Network, where is his technology, I'm afraid I really can't find it. Another example is instant messaging, there are many instant messaging apps in the world today, and their technology is not very good. However, with the help of information in the Tang Dynasty, he relied on continuous commercial operation, and suddenly became one of the three major instant messaging software in the world from China's local instant software.
"Is it money?"
If you don't think about it carefully, you may also think that it is money.
Because, in the Internet industry, without capital, you basically can't succeed. Just like the development of Yahoo, the development of Apple, every super big company, he needs countless financial support. But is it really money? No, money is only a necessary condition, but it does not mean that with money, he can do anything successfully.
Yang Zhiyuan lost the funds one by one, because he knew too well that in the world Internet, a large number of slammed funds were unsuccessful examples. Just like the operating system solution, there are many countries that have developed their own operating systems. However, ...... fight hard with Microsoft, all of them are defeated, why is this happening?
It was only at this time that Yang Zhiyuan remembered.
"It's traffic."
The answer to what is most important about the Internet is traffic.
Traffic is technology, traffic is money, and traffic is market......
If an Internet company owns the traffic, he owns everything. When the time comes, technology, money, and the market will all roll in, and this is the benefit of traffic. Even if it is an Internet company that is not profitable, or even loses a lot every year, as long as he has countless traffic, he also guards a valuable wealth.
In fact, Yahoo has been doing things to increase traffic. It's just that Yang Zhiyuan has not mentioned the word traffic to the deep places. They are always using business operations to expand the market. At the end of the day, it's about increasing traffic even further.
"Mr. Yang is really discerning, yes, I also think that the most important thing in the development of the Internet is traffic.
Robin Li smiled, followed by the word traffic, and said, "So, I don't understand why Yahoo likes to do things that pull a lot of traffic to others, and moreover, pay people." ”
This thing, of course, refers to Google's cooperation with Yahoo.
If you want me to say, Google paid Yahoo.
While Yahoo uses Google's search technology. However, in the market, the most important thing is traffic. Every flow he is a fund. Sometimes, he's a lot better than his skills.
"Mr. Yang, what do you think?"
As soon as Robin Li said this, Yang Zhiyuan's face changed suddenly. I felt like I had a sudden realization, and I thought to myself, "yes, Yahoo is working with Google now, and it looks stupid." While paying Google for technology, it also brings countless traffic to Google. ”
In fact, this incident, several marketing managers of the company, have already mentioned. However, at that time, Yang Zhiyuan thought that he had made a lot of money for himself by using Google's search engine technology. After all, the advertising cost of key words is a great temptation. However, if you continue to do this, isn't it just raising tigers?
Look, if it weren't for Yahoo providing millions of dollars a year to Google, Google would have been doomed.
If this kind of cooperation is continued now, with the development of the Internet, as long as Google's traffic reaches a certain level, then it will have an extremely terrifying development speed. Now, on the British side, the public seems to be gradually accepting Google. And they use Google more often than they do Yahoo. ,
This is not a good sign.
"Looks like you have a point. However, I want to know, why did Mr. Li say this to me? ”
Speaking of which, Robin Li is the CEO of Baidu, and he is also a search engine. With Yahoo, Baidu is actually a competitor. After all, Yahoo is also using Google's search technology to do this part of search. It is said that his peers go to the wrong family, but Robin Li came over instead, and he has nothing to do to help him? This has to be strange.
"Because, we at Baidu don't want to see Google get bigger."
Robin Li didn't want to hide it.
"In this way, Baidu intends to engage in the world search engine market."
"Not bad."
Yang Zhiyuan finally understood.
"When I came to Yahoo today, I just don't know if Yahoo has ever thought about engaging in the global search engine market. Well, yes, a search marketplace that doesn't need Google. ”
Although Yahoo owns a stake in Google, it is a different company. Moreover, after many rounds of financing, Yahoo does not own as many shares as before. Now that it's still cooperating with Google, it's really a tiger. Once Google does it, it's too late for Yahoo to regret it.
"Looks like it's a good plan."
Yang Zhiyuan had some heartbeats. In fact, putting aside Google, Ji Ge, who is doing the search engine market alone, "has always had it within the company." It's just that before, he was denied by himself. What a stupid strategy it was now. "It's just that there's one thing I don't understand. Isn't it better for Baidu to do its own search market, why bother with Yahoo, do you want to compete with Yahoo ....... ”
"That's a good question."
Robin Li had long considered that Yang Zhiyuan would ask such a question.
So, Robin Li not only said slowly, "Everyone is doing the Internet, didn't Mr. Yang see that Google has developed a general trend, if we don't join forces, how can we fight hard with Google." ”
It was only at this time that Yang Zhiyuan finally understood Baidu's intentions.
At first, he thought it was a discord plan. Now that I think about it, there is no way to do this. Otherwise, if you don't connect with Yahoo, how can you beat Google? Because, now Google's global market, but with the support of Yahoo, has covered a lot. Although he did not dominate the world, I am afraid that in a year or two, he will monopolize the global search engine market.
"Our Jige" wants to join forces with Yahoo to defeat Google together. As for beating Google, it's a battle between the two of us. ”
It's better for two parties to compete for this market than for three people.
Yang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'd like to see the competition with Baidu in the future." ”
At this point, Baidu and Yahoo reached a verbal agreement, that is, the two parties joined forces to deal with Google together.
After Baidu Robin Li left, Yang Zhiyuan quickly convened a board meeting.
And after the meeting, Yahoo immediately decided to break off the cooperation with Google with a lightning speed. And, at the same time, it was announced that Yahoo would no longer use Google's search technology, and Yahoo would unilaterally develop its own search program. To this end, Yahoo also wholly acquired Inktoml, a company that is also a search engine company.
This incident happened so quickly that when Google received the news, they thought it was a joke. Later, though, they realized that Yahoo really felt threatened. In fact, Google's slow development, for Google's high-level people, they have always been worried, they are afraid that Yahoo will wake up, put aside Google, and develop unilaterally on their own.
Fortunately, a few years later, the two companies are still doing well. Moreover, Yahoo's profitability is also growing every year because of Google's search engine, which is why Yahoo has been cooperating with Google. It's just that now, this cooperation has been terminated at this time.
Google is sorry, but it's not panicking.
If Yahoo had broken off two years ago, no, a year ago, I'm afraid Google would have been finished. Now, even if Yahoo develops its own search engine, it is no longer useful. After all, now the world has slowly begun to get used to using Google, and even in the UK, has become the number one search engine.
Shocking news "Yahoo broke off Google's cooperation and developed its own search engine. ”,
So far, Yahoo is still in full swing, and it has not begun to flatten a lot of values as later generations did. Therefore, everything about Yahoo is often watched by the media all over the world. This time, Yahoo interrupted Google's cooperation with women, and just as soon as it happened, the world's media had already reacted.
AOL said, "Yahoo and Google have been working together for many years, and everyone still thinks that this cooperation will last into this century." Unexpectedly, in just a few years, it was over. However, we see it from it. Yahoo's quick decision, he has already shown that Yahoo feels threatened by Google. Well, let's look forward to the war below, Yahoo vs. Google's hegemony. ”
This should be considered neutral news.
However, not all media outlets are like AOL.
Among them, the Wall Street Journal, which has always only watched the financial market, also participated at this time. Because, Google is about to launch an IPO, that is, the first time to raise funds in the secondary market. I am afraid that this incident will have a very big impact on Google. As the Wall Street Journal, which has always paid attention to the market, they are still watching the subsequent development of Yahoo and Google.
However, the Wall Street Journal is clearly in favor of Google, noting that "it has to be said that it is a wise choice for Yahoo to cut off its cooperation with Google now." Still, we're going to say, Yahoo, you got it too late. Because, in the past few years, Google has been pulled from a company that loses money every day to a large company that is about to go public. And, you're using your global reach to promote Google globally. Yes, everything you used to do before, was cultivating a global Internet giant. If all of Google's shares were Yahoo, perhaps we wouldn't be ....... ”
The Wall Street Journal said a lot about it, this flip shows the stupidity of Yahoo in the past, and that flip is optimistic about Google's future. In the end, it was conclusive, even if Yahoo now broke off its cooperation with Google. It will only have a certain impact on Google for a short period of time, and there will be little reaction to the future. We can even see that Google dominates the global search market.
Yes, friends, let's welcome a Google that is even greater than Yahoo.
It's not just the Wall Street Journal's voice, but other global newspapers have also expressed strong support for Google. Because, in recent years, they have seen the development of Google. Yahoo, on the other hand, relies on Google's search engine to bring a large part of its profits. In other words, the profitability of Yahoo's main business has slowly declined.
This is a reason for many organizations to choose to abandon Yahoo.
Therefore, many people are not optimistic about Google, they believe that it is not the best idea to interrupt Google's cooperation, and they should buy Google at all costs. Clearly, though, Yahoo doesn't have the courage to do that. In other words, now Yahoo, he can no longer buy Google. Because, no one wants to see a Google with super potential ceded to others.
They also want to see the myth of Google when it goes public.
Just when the media voice was one-sided, China, far to the east, suddenly announced. Several overseas fund companies officially transferred the acquired shares of Baidu to Tang Dynasty. In addition, Tang Dynasty Company refinanced Baidu, so far, Baidu has become a wholly-owned subsidiary ......of Tang Dynasty Company, and then, Tang Dynasty CEO Zhang Lixian held a press conference to land on the world search engine market.
This plan, it seems, Tang Dynasty Company has been prepared for a long time.
Just after people fell asleep, when they landed on the world's largest community website "Renren" again, a Baidu search engine logo began to appear on the homepage of "Renren". (To be continued.)
