"In this way, on the one hand, let's talk to Qiandu first, and on the other hand, consider the possibility of cooperating with other search engines." Lu Yang is a very decisive person and quickly made a decision.

Lei Jun and Ye Wenbing thought about it, there was indeed no other better way.

"By the way, you evaluate it, it's really not good, we will acquire a search engine website ourselves and do it ourselves!" Lu Yang added.

Lei Jun's eyes lit up and said, "Boss, if it's an acquisition, there is really a chance now!" ”

"Tell me."

Lei Jun said: "For us, the search engine is an important part of the company's layout, and even if we want to acquire, the target can only be chosen between Aiwen, Yahoo and Sogou. Yahoo China doesn't say it, if you like to ask, Xinlang probably won't sell it to us, and the only thing left is Sogou. ”

"If you want to buy Sogou, the possibility is still relatively large. As far as I know, Sohu's development has not been satisfactory in recent years, and Zhang Chao intends to transform in the investment field. For him, Sogou is not for sale. Sohu's main income comes from advertising, and in recent years, Zhang Chao has lost a lot of money on Sogou. If the price is right, I think he's definitely willing to talk to us. ”

Lu Yang did not doubt Lei Jun's judgment, after all, he had 20 years of work experience, and his understanding of Huaxia Internet companies was much deeper than his own.

"In that case, Old Lei, this matter will be handed over to you." Lu Yang said, "The previous plan was changed, the acquisition of Sogou was our first choice, and cooperation with Qiandu was the second choice." ”

Ye Wenbing agreed: "If Sogou can be acquired, the company will make up for a shortcoming." In the past two years, the domestic Internet industry has been in a downturn, and it is not small that Sohu will sell Sogou. ”

As soon as you say a word, the three of them settle the matter.

The result was indeed as Lei Jun expected, and the negotiations with Sohu went smoothly this time. There are many reasons for this, the most important of which is that last year's economic crisis hit the Internet industry hard, and many companies, including Sohu, are facing a shortage of funds. Among the major industries of Sohu, Sogou does not have any economic benefits. If Sogou can be exchanged for funds for the company's development, Zhang Chao is naturally happy.

In this context, the negotiations between Lei Jun and Zhang Chao went very smoothly, during which Lu Yang also met with Zhang Chao. Five days later, the two @dǐng@diǎn@ small @ said, .√.¤os_(); The company formally reached an agreement to acquire Sogou for $30 million.

Such a big move naturally can't hide the attention of the media, and before the contract was signed, "Beijing Daily" first broke the news about the acquisition. At this time, it was the time when Qiandu and Google were in a fierce battle, and this report caused quite a lot of waves. Many people have predicted that after the restructuring of Tianxin Technology, I am afraid that it will enter the search engine market.

"Caijing Magazine" later commented that when the domestic Internet industry has not escaped the economic crisis, Tianxin Technology, which has sufficient cash, is likely to take the opportunity to buy the bottom and carry out more acquisitions.

No matter how much outsiders say, it will not affect the cooperation between Tianxin Technology and Sohu after all. At the end of August, the two companies held a press conference, Ye Wenbing signed a contract with Zhang Chao on behalf of Tianxin Software Technology Company, and Sogou was officially merged into Tianxin Software Company and renamed Omniscient Search.

For this cooperation, Lu Yang and Zhang Chao are very satisfied, Lu Yang has completed the company's development strategy, and Zhang Chao has also obtained much-needed funds, which can be described as a win-win situation. But for others, it's a big difference.

Qiandu first felt the pressure, as the overlord of the Chinese search market, Qiandu is not afraid of any domestic opponents. Especially recently, Google has a tendency to withdraw from the Chinese market, and it seems that Qiandu is about to be self-serving. Who knew that at this juncture, Tianxin Technology came with such a hand, and it was impossible not to be nervous.

Hearing the news, Li Yanhong regretted it very much. When Lu Yang sought cooperation before, he didn't know the benefits of cooperation, nor was he unmoved. Li Yanhong originally thought that he had seen through Lu Yang's hole cards and thought that Qiandu was the only choice for the other party, so he had no fear and wanted to fight for more benefits. Who knows, this self-defeating will not only lose the opportunity for cooperation, but also set up a big enemy for himself.

But soon, Li Yanhong's mind turned elsewhere. Google is about to be unable to hold up in Huaxia, and he must not relax in this final blow. As for omniscient searching, that's for later.

What made Lu Yang a little strange was that Ali then announced that he was going to buy Xinlang's Aiwen, I don't know if he was stimulated by them.

……

Tianxin Building, Lu Yang finished the recent backlog of work, and found Su Yan to understand the company's reorganization.

Su Yan was dressed in a capable suit, and when she walked, her feet were windy, and even the short hair on her head floated. During this time, she was very busy.

"Boss, this is a report on the reorganization of the company." As soon as Su Yan sat down, he immediately handed the report to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang said helplessly: "I said can you not be so anxious, across the desk, I can feel the wind you brought." ”

Su Yan said: "Do you think I am willing to do this, the company has a lot of things in the past two months, and you are a hands-off shopkeeper again......"

"Okay." Lu Yang surrendered, "It's really hard for you, and at the end of the year, I will definitely give you a big red envelope." ”

Lu Yang flipped through the report, and it seemed that the reorganization was going very smoothly. Up to now, Tianxin Electronic Technology, Tianxin Software Technology Co., Ltd., Tianxin Super Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and Tianxin Network Technology Co., Ltd. have completed the reorganization. Tianxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. was officially separated from the group and moved into Building 3, Tianxin Network Technology Co., Ltd. stayed in Building 1, and Tianxin Super Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and Tianxin Software Technology Co., Ltd. were located in Building 2 and Building 5 respectively.

Lu Yang took a look at the situation of the employees, and the management of the four major companies was already in place. Qi Dong was transferred back from the United States to serve as the sales director of Tianxin Electronic Technology Company. Mo Yun served as the personnel director of Tianxin Electronics, and finally got rid of Chen Xi's suppression. The latter is trusted by Lu Yang, and now he is in charge of the group's personnel department, which can be regarded as a promotion.

Lu Yang took a look at the management of the other three companies, many of whom he didn't know, and obviously joined the company later.

"In terms of group personnel, you check the gates, wait for the stability of next month, and prepare to hold an all-staff meeting." Lu Yang silently memorized the names of these people, and said to Su Yan.

Su Yan diǎn head: "You, the boss, should also meet with everyone, so as not to make jokes in the future." Here's the company's financial situation for the month......"

"It's not a small expense......" Lu Yang glanced twice.

Su Yan said: "This is natural, the headquarters project has entered the later stage, and Zhiyuan Real Estate has also entered the settlement; In addition, the mobile phone factory in Huanghuai City has just made the second batch of grants; The company recruited a large number of new personnel, as well as salary adjustments; Previous R&D budget allocations ......"

Su Yan reported like a few treasures.

Lu Yang listened quietly, and when Su Yan finished speaking, he was just diǎndiǎn head.

"In this regard, you and Li Pei are on the diǎn heart, I don't care how much it costs, as long as it is spent in the place where it should be spent. You don't need to save the money you should spend, but you must eliminate the money you shouldn't spend. The company is big, and our management cannot be as comprehensive as before, and I am afraid that some internal problems will arise. ”

Su Yan understood: "In terms of finance, the company will establish a strict system, and I will also strictly control it." ”

"You do things, I don't worry." Lu Yang showed great trust in Su Yan.

After Su Yan left, Ye Wenbing came.

"Lao Ye, how is the tablet project going?"

Ye Wenbing said: "We have improved the smart operating system in accordance with Mr. Lei's requirements, and embedded several of the company's application software into the system without affecting the user experience, including omniscient search. In addition, the Star Browser we have developed has matured and will be used as the default browser for the Smart Operating System in the future. ”

"Good job." Lu Yang was very relieved that Ye Wenbing and the others were finally able to take charge on their own.

"After the training of 'Star 1' and the test of this project, our technical team has finally matured." Ye Wenbing sighed a little, "The previous 'Starry Sky 1' project was said to be team development, and many times we relied on the boss alone, and we could only start. To be honest, I was really ashamed and stressed during that time. ”

"Everyone's growth has exceeded my expectations." Lu Yang comforted, "This is the truth. In fact, you also know that if I want, I can lead everyone to make tablets in three months at most. But what's the point? If the company wants to grow and grow, I can't do it alone. Only when the technical team is mature, the company can not be afraid of the challenges of opponents in the future. Now it seems that we are very close to the goal. ”

Ye Wenbing couldn't help but look at his head, and admired his boss's courage in his heart. In the face of the possibility that the competitor Yutian Electronics may launch a tablet computer in advance, his boss still adheres to the original plan and uses the tablet computer project to hone the team, which is not an ordinary person's determination.

"I asked you to develop a voice assistant, how is it now?"
