Zhang Bin is not in a hurry, his exchange with Mr. Li today will be directly related to the core interests of the next cooperation between the two sides, and whether the other party spares no effort to help his products go online.

Today is a year in which Hengyuan Group has made a lot of big moves, and in the same way, this year will also be a year full of opportunities for Baidu.

But Zhang Bin, who is already familiar with history, knows that Baidu not only did some empty things this year, but also lost a lot of money.

Therefore, this is an opportunity for Zhang Bin's negotiations.

Of course, Li Ke doesn't think so, at this time his "Baidu HI" is in internal testing, almost just a few days earlier than Weibo for public testing, and he has great hopes for this at this time.

You know, this product is defined by Baidu as a "strategic" product, from product research, development to testing all aspects are completed independently, Baidu from top to bottom has great expectations.

But, as it turns out, do you know this thing? It's like a meteor streaked across the sky of the Internet, leaving not even a trace of brilliance.

Instant messaging software, except for penguins, is cannon fodder at this time.

After drinking a little wine, Zhang Bin pondered for a while and said: "It's very simple, the words of funds are, netizens who jump from your Baidu website to register, how much money we give you for each registered person, of course, what specific amount of this can be negotiated, or we directly pay for your advertising and recommendation, what you recommend is easy to use, we will buy what recommendation, the same, the price can be negotiated."

"It seems that you are not short of money", Li Youhong (the previous name was harmonized, so it was changed by one word) said with a smile.

"If you want to get something, don't you need to pay first?" Zhang Bin said.

Li Youhong nodded, "Then you talk about financing, if it's just a matter of buying and recommending, I don't seem to need to sit here."

Li Youhong's words really hurt Zhang Bin a little, you don't talk about this kind of small business in your feelings, right, Lao Tzu is trying to find a way to help you, as if he has to beg you.

If it weren't for the fact that you've already drunk twice, you'd have to fall even harder.

Zhang Bin took a deep breath, looked at Li Youhong and said: "To tell you the truth, among all the products you have developed so far, I can also afford the research and development of your online payment platform project, if you want, I can carry out financing, and all my online products will be used first in the future."

Robin Li smiled and said, "Do you know any of my other products?" ”

"Of course, Mr. Li should not underestimate the internal assault ability of Hengyuan Group, Mr. Li's products this year, I think this online payment platform is still a little useful", Zhang Bin began to excite Li Youhong.

"You're not optimistic about my C2C platform?" Li Youhong asked, it seems that he is a little unconvinced, Baidu's C2C platform is a key project to build this year, combined with the online payment platform, ready to be launched in September this year, and now Zhang Bin actually said that he is not optimistic.

"It's also an online trading platform, but it depends on how to operate, and to be honest, I'm more optimistic that Taobao will succeed," Zhang said.

"I'm not optimistic about Taobao, I think Taobao will disappear in less than two years, and like those trading platforms in the past, online trading now needs a new management model, and we need to come up with more refined services and a more comprehensive and safer trading environment," Li Youhong said.

"Maybe", Zhang Bin did not want to discuss this issue.

In fact, Ali has noticed the problems of Taobao, and will be separated from Taobao Mall next month, which is the predecessor of Tmall.

"Would you consider financing?" Zhang Bin looked at Li Youhong, "I'm talking about online payment platforms."

Li Youhong was lying on the chair, seemingly a little entangled, you know, he is also under a lot of pressure when such a product is launched, and it would be better if someone could bear the pressure.

At present, Ali is the dominant family on the online transaction and payment platform, Baidu is very optimistic about this market, and online retail sales will definitely reach a crazy number in the next few years, and he also wants to get a piece of the pie.

But he also knows that with Ali's current relatively mature management and operation team, Baidu is actually under a lot of pressure.

"Are you co-managing or are you just responsible for dividends," asks Lee.

"Inject capital in the name of Hengyuan Group, get 30% ownership of this project, participate in the management at the same time, and in addition, I want to have veto power," Zhang Bin said.

"This is impossible", Li Youhong didn't even think about it, and directly refused.

Zhang Bin smiled, he is actually very calm now, why? Because Li Youhong felt the pressure on cash flow.

Relatively speaking, Baidu's cash flow has always been relatively sufficient, but the premise is that Baidu's business growth can maintain a relatively high momentum.

In the past two years, with the gradual development of Baidu's business, the investment has increased, the number of technical personnel has increased, and the cost of scientific research has increased, and the proportion of the entire expenditure has been significantly higher than in previous years.

If someone is willing to come in and take risks, Li Youhong can still think about it.

"Mr. Li, you have to understand, I have money now, I can choose to cooperate with Alibaba, they have a more mature management and Alipay, which already has a certain market, and what do you have, why don't I invest my money in a product that can see benefits, instead of investing money in your product," Zhang Bin said.

Li Youhong admitted that Zhang Bin said this truth.

"We don't really need financing," says Lee.

"Okay then", Zhang Bin nodded, "Back to the previous question".

"That's it, I'll give you the phone number of the advertising manager, don't worry, I can give you the best recommendation, but you need to negotiate the price yourself", Li Youhong stood up and shook hands with Zhang Bin, "I'm sorry for this negotiation, but I hope there will be a chance next time."

"It's okay, Mr. Li is willing to leave the best position for us, thank you very much," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

This is true, Baidu's average daily search views reach tens of millions, and if the recommendation is in place, even if you don't register, the number of views that jump over is estimated to reach five million to six million per day.

Zhang Bin handed over this task to Kuang Jing and asked her to negotiate with the other party's advertising department about purchasing recommendations.

Thinking of the Weibo payment that may be used in the future, Zhang Bin feels that he still has to cooperate with Alipay, because so far, Alipay's technology is more mature and more secure.

Zhang Bin didn't have the time to wait for Baidu's Baifubao to come out, even if it came out, it wouldn't be used, this is the market, of course, there is also a little revenge on Zhang Bin, he can even expect that in September, Robin Li will definitely call him and ask for cooperation.

But the truth is so cruel, there is already Alipay, Zhang Bin will definitely not change it, because the frequent change of payment platforms will definitely cause dissatisfaction among users, who is the loss of users?

However, in the future, Zhang Bin will eventually use his own payment platform, and when the development of Weibo is stable, he will start to develop an instant messaging platform, a communication platform that is different from Penguin, WeChat.
