The number of paying users of Xiaole Assistant is indeed shocking, but if it is all about, other technology companies will not feel anything, after all, there is no end to the money in the world.

However, when the report of its own intelligence department was sent to the company's decision-making level a few days later, some companies began to become restless, especially Baidui in China and Google in the United States!

Without him, the search engine used in Xiaole's assistant is not the two of them, but developed by Zhengdao Technology itself!

And every user who uses Xiaole Assistant has no reason to say that the search engine inside Xiaole Assistant will not be used, and specifically quit Xiaole Assistant, and then go to Google or Baidu to search for information.

Therefore, in this way, almost every more user of Xiaole Assistant means one less user of the search engine!

"Mr. Yan, we must come up with countermeasures, otherwise in a period of time, our Baidu users will be down to an outrageous level!"

In Baidu's headquarters, a high-level meeting is being held.

"Mr. Zhao, tell everyone about the current situation."

Seeing the slightly confused look on the faces of the other executives, Yan Hong rubbed the corners of his eyes and said tiredly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the date of the release of Xiaole Assistant, our Baidu share in the domestic search market has begun to decline gradually, but at that time, because Xiaole Assistant was still in the free period, so we thought that users were just trying to be fresh at that time, and when the freshness of Xiaole Assistant passed, plus the start of charging, eventually our search share will slowly come back......"

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhao's voice gradually became smaller: "But obviously, we made a mistake, first, we didn't expect Xiaole's assistant to be so powerful, and second, we didn't expect that there would be so many paying users, under the effect of the two, as of today, the market share of our Baidu search engine has dropped from 85% to 70% ...... before."

"What?!"

“70%？”

"How can there be so many?"

"Is the 15% reduction taken up by Xiaole's assistant?"

After hearing this figure, the faces of other executives changed wildly, you must know that since the original use of Google's unfamiliar China policy to squeeze Google out of China, the entire Huaguo search market has basically been dominated by Baidu, until now, Baidu has monopolized the position of the leader of the Chinese search market for more than ten years.

More than ten years, this time is too long, so long that the executives of Baidu almost all think that they are the natural kings of the Huaguo search market, and no one will be able to overthrow their rule.

However, it is precisely because of their arrogance that they have finally tasted the bitter fruit.

As long as the thought of the market share of Baidu has dropped by 15% in less than a month, the executives present can't help but panic one by one.

"Mr. Yan, what should we do?"

A vice president couldn't help but ask.

Unlike Tengxun's leadership, which has almost not changed since its establishment, Baidu's current leadership has changed by 90% compared with the team at the time of its initial establishment, so Yan Hong is the only one who takes the idea in Baidu, and at this critical moment, others subconsciously put the decision in Yan Hong's hands.

"What do you think?"

Yan Hong didn't answer immediately, but asked, "It's okay, everyone talks freely, and they all talk about what we are going to do." ”

"I think we should contact Zhengdao Technology to see if it is possible to implant the Baidu engine into Xiaole Assistant."

An executive hesitated and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Forget it, it's unlikely, you didn't say it." ”

Another executive said: "I think we need to contact Google, after all, we are not the only ones who are facing the threat of Zhengdao Technology, and Google's losses will only be greater!" ”

"In addition to this, we also need to make some efforts beyond conventional means, after all, there are still many people who are worried about the controllability of AI, and it would be best if we can provoke public resistance to AI."

An executive came up with the idea of this insidiousness.

"Also, I think maybe we can launch our own AI assistant as well......"

"Maybe we can also choose to take a stake in Zhengdao Technology ......"

Hearing the last one, the other executives couldn't help but shake their heads, and the executive was unconvinced and asked, "Why can't it, Dao Technology also needs allies!" ”

"Dao Technology is different, since the day he was born, he has never received any financing!"

An executive who is very familiar with JustTao explained.

"That can't be!"

The executive immediately retorted: "Whether it is broadband leasing, employee salaries, new headquarters or R&D funds, this requires a huge amount of cash as a guarantee, and if there is no financing, with the cash supply of Zhengdao Technology, it will not be completed at all!" ”

"Everybody knows that, but ......"

The executive in charge of explaining shrugged his shoulders: "In fact, we have obtained information from Zhengdao Technology, and their funds are all from Wang Xiao personally. ”

"Personal? Do you mean that Wang Xiao took on this huge amount of money by himself?! ”

The executive who asked the question couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, "That's billions or even tens of billions of dollars of investment!" ”

"Who knows, anyway, Dao Technology survived in the end."

The executive in charge of explaining also said helplessly that Wang Xiao's source of funds has become a mystery in the circle of technology companies.

"Okay, don't digress about that."

Yan Hong knocked on the table and concluded: "For now, there are three things we need to do first. ”

Stretching out three fingers, Yan Hongyan said: "First, immediately contact with Zhengdao Technology, if you can reach cooperation, it is the best; Second, also contact Google to see what the other party thinks; Third, spread some dangerous remarks about artificial intelligence on the Internet! ”

"Do you have any comments?"

After speaking, Yan Hong glanced at the executives, and after seeing that no one answered, he stood up and said, "Since everyone agrees, then, let's start acting immediately!" ”

The person responsible for contacting Daodao Technology is none other than Yan Hong himself.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, you're a little unauthentic, and you've quietly copied my back road."

After the phone was connected, Yan Hong pretended to be relaxed and said to Wang Xiao.

"I'm sorry Mr. Yan, we didn't expect Xiaole Assistant to be so popular, in our plan, there are only 200 million paying users at most."

Wang Xiao's tone revealed a taste of pretending that Yan Hong hated.

"Then Mr. Wang, I don't know if our Baidu engine can also be integrated into Xiaole's assistant?"

Suppressing the awkwardness in his heart, Yan Hong asked with some expectation.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, at present, with our scientific and technological strength, I'm afraid we can't do this......"

Wang Xiao said sorry, but Yan Hong didn't hear the sincerity at all.

"That's a shame."

Yan Hong said lightly, then hung up the phone, and a moment later, he dialed the phone of Larry Page, the president of Google. (To be continued.) )
