Chapter 17 Buying Baidu (Finished)

Robin Li has a better understanding of the situation of this company called 3721.com, because if Baidu wants to develop and grow, 3721.com is an obstacle in front of Baidu.

It can be said that Baidu and 3721 are natural opponents, and Baidu must kill 3721 if it wants to grow.

"Even if you acquire 3721.com, I believe Baidu has its own advantages." Robin Li said with confidence, because Robin Li had studied the 3721 network.

"It is true that Baidu has its own advantages, but now 3721.com is the largest Chinese search service company in China, and I only need to modify the page of 3721.com to make it neat and simple."

"Just leave a brief box in the middle of the web page, abandon all ads, it's okay I have money, I can support 3721 network for a few years or even more than ten years of unprofitable, I don't know how Baidu, which has the same business as 3721, can survive." Li Xuan couldn't help but be hit when he looked at Li Yanhong's smug smile.

Hearing that Li Xuan wanted 3721.com to abandon advertising, and only leave a brief box in the middle of the website like Baidu, Robin Li was nervous, but Robin Li still wouldn't give up, because Robin Li knew that 3721.com didn't have its own core search engine. The 3721 network is all about passively asking for information.

"Even so, I'm not afraid, the 3721 network doesn't have its own core technology, he can't compete with Baidu, although Baidu can't compare to the 3721 network now."

"But I firmly believe that when Baidu has a lot of information, it can provide better search services to Chinese netizens, and netizens will definitely choose better searches, and I believe that it must be Baidu and not 3721." Robin Li's confidence comes from his confidence in his own technology and his understanding of Huaguo, because he believes that no one in Huaguo at this time can develop a search-based search engine.

For the opponent he is about to defeat, 3721.com, Robin Li is more clear, 3721.com has no search engine technology, so Robin Li will not be afraid that 3721.com now occupies 90% of the search market.

Now the 3721 network is only for Robin Li's Baidu to guard the market, and in the future, Huaguo's search market will be Baidu's, which Robin Li is convinced of.

"I know where the confidence is that you can beat the 3721 net." From time to time, looking at the tea that had just been brought up by Liu Qiang, Li Xuan felt that Liu Qiang was now more and more handy as an assistant, looking at the green tea Li Xuan continued: "There is no search engine on the 3721 network, and Baidu has its own Chinese search engine. ”

Looking up at Robin Li's smile when he heard himself say that 3721.com has no search engine and Baidu has a search engine, Li Xuan continued: "Unfortunately, not long ago, I just took a stake in the Google search company in the United States, and I think Mr. Li, who came back from the United States, will not be unaware of the Google search company." ”

Seeing that Robin Li's face became a little white when he heard himself say Google, Li Xuan patted his forehead as if he remembered something: "I forgot that Li has always worked in the United States search company, sorry I like to call him Huaguo's name, English should be called Infoseek, I think Google's technology should help 3721.com have its own search engine." What do you say, Mr. Li? ”

"What the hell do you want?" Robin Li knows that the most important core technology of a search company is the search engine. If 3721.com just changed its strategy, 3721.com without a search engine would not have made Robin Li feel afraid, but now it is obvious that 3721.com will have a search engine, even if it is a search engine completed with the help of a Chinese company.

That is also a search engine, even if the Chinese search engine completed by 3721.com with the help of Google is not as perfect as Baidu, but Robin Li deeply knows that people's habits are too powerful.

When people are accustomed to accepting the search services provided by 3721, which has a search engine, Baidu will not be able to beat 3721, even if Baidu's search engine is more perfect than the other party.

But netizens who are accustomed to the 3721 network will give the 3721 network enough time to improve their Chinese search engine, but Baidu can only be reduced to the little brother struggling under the 3721 network. There is no possibility of victory.

Li Xuan, who ignored Robin Li, continued: "How about changing the name of the 3721 network, calling him Qiandu, ten times bigger than Baidu, how about this name?" ”

"Tell me, what do you want?" Robin Li didn't bother to pay attention to Li Xuan's quips. Direct showdown.

"What do you want to talk about?" Li Xuan asked when he saw that it was almost there.

"I want to talk." Not to mention the slim hope of Baidu rushing out......

In the end, Li Xuan and Robin Li signed the same contract as Tencent, with Li Xuan wholly acquiring Baidu, and 3721.com being merged into Baidu, Robin Li will continue to be in charge of Baidu.

Similarly, Li Xuan will take out 20% of the shares, of which 10% Li Xuan will be given to Li Yanhong and his wife, and the remaining 10% will be used to reward Baidu employees.

Surprisingly, Robin Li's shares in his hands have only reached a controlling stake, and not long ago, venture capitalist Defengjie and IDG invested in Baidu again, which is why Robin Li rejected Li Xuan's investment at the beginning.

Because if Li Xuan is allowed to invest in Baidu, Robin Li will indirectly lose control of Baidu.

If Li Xuan wants to truly buy Baidu as a wholly-owned company, he will have to buy back Baidu's shares from venture capitalists DFJ and IDG.

This also leads to Li Xuan's no way to give Robin Li shares now, and Li Xuan needs to wait until he gets back the shares lost by Baidu before giving away 10% of Robin Li's shares.

Because Li Xuan needs an absolute controlling stake in Baidu, he forces venture capitalists DFJ and IDG to sell their Baidu shares to him.

Looking at Robin Li and his wife who walked out of the café, Li Xuan felt that he was a little too much.

"Brother Liu, am I going too far?"

"Sort of." Liu Qiang, who was watching how Li Xuan forced Robin Li throughout the whole process, felt aggrieved by these two returnee couples, and there was no way for Xuan Shao to take a fancy to him.

"Ahem." Hearing Liu Qiang's words, Li Xuan was embarrassed for a while, and changed the topic: "Inform Sophia and ask her to buy Baidu's shares from venture capitalists Defeng Jielian and IDG for me, and tell Sophia that if they don't buy it, Baidu will declare bankruptcy and collapse." ”

"Okay, Xuan Shao." Liu Qiang wrote down Li Xuan's instructions, and he planned to notify Sophia who was far away in the United States in a while, and Liu Qiang, who thought of something, continued: "Xuan Shao, just now the United States came to inform the SoftBank Bank, which has already made a small book, that the shares of Alibaba have been bought, and Mr. Ma Yun, the president of Alibaba in Huaguo, has been notified to come to the imperial capital, and the contact information has been sent. ”

Hearing Liu Qiang say that he bought Alibaba's shares from SoftBank, Li Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he didn't know why.

In the previous life, there were rumors that Huaguo's Internet companies said that they were Huaguo, but in fact they were all foreign companies, because the major shareholders of these Internet companies were all foreign companies.

It is also foreign companies that make the most of these Internet companies, and they all say that these Internet companies are helping foreign companies to make more money from Chinese people.

Now, at least in the future, the three most famous companies in Huaguo are under Li Xuan's name, Li Xuan feels that he has a sense of honor to win glory for the country, no matter what, Li Xuan himself has earned and may give back to the society of Huaguo. Let foreigners earn money, and there is no possibility of giving back to the society.

As soon as I thought of the richest man in China with the title of alien, Ma Yun was coming. Li Xuan was still a little excited in his heart.

"When will it arrive?" Li Xuan asked.

"Probably tomorrow."

Li Xuan raised his hand and looked at the Patek Philippe watch that Sophia personally picked when shopping in the United States.

After shopping, Sophia heard that Li Xuan liked private customized watches, so she ordered 72 watches in one go from first-line watch brands such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, half for men and half for women. They are all private customized watches with world-famous paintings as dials.

"It's still early, Deyun Club's cross talk should start soon, go to Brother Liu to listen to cross talk."

"Okay, Xuan Shao." Hearing that he was going to listen to cross talk, Liu Qiang was also a little moved.
