Chapter 159: Top Summit
Hatsune Mailbox's paid email service can wait. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The death process of Gmail does not need to be accelerated by Gu Mojie at an additional cost.
But the R&D progress of the "first secret" really can't wait.
Gu Mojie doesn't want to be equipped with an artificial intelligence voice assistant that can't understand anyone's words thoroughly after the winter vacation in February next year and the launch of the "Chuxin 2" mobile phone, and go to Apple's SiriPK.
It's time to take the initiative to go to the capital and discuss with the long-lost boss Li: how to stab the back together and accelerate the death of Google China.
After chatting with Yan Lei that night, I went back to Zhuxi Trail and fell asleep. When he got up the next day, Gu Mojie asked Ye Minru to arrange the plane.
"Arrange a helicopter, call Boss Li by the way, and have dinner together at noon."
"Okay."
On the occasion of a private party with Boss Li, in Gu Mojie's memory, the most recent one was six years ago.
That year, he was still an 18-year-old self-made man, for an input method that had just been written, as a small customer, to talk about Baidu promotion.
At that time, it was his current cousin-in-law Liu Feitong, who received Gu Mojie and cousin Zhou Lixin.
That afternoon, Boss Li felt that Gu Mojie was "bone wonderful" and "extraordinary", so he stayed with Gu Mojie to chat for two hours.
Who would have thought that 6 years later, the personal wealth of 24-year-old Gu Mojie has surpassed that of 42-year-old Boss Li. The assets of the Hatsune Group under his name are also faintly equal to Baidu.
In 2009, Baidu's market value was only about 60 billion US dollars, temporarily occupying the first place in the market value of Chinese Internet companies with a very narrow advantage.
But no one doubts that with Gu Mojie's growth trend, Chuyin Group will be able to surpass it steadily and take the first throne into its bag.
Boss Li's number, Gu Mojie still turned it out from the business card he received six years ago.
The other party really didn't change the number, and as soon as he called, he was quickly passed.
"Robin, I'm sorry. If you have something to do in Beijing, let's have a meal together at noon, and you can choose the place - let's talk about Google. ”
“JAY? Welcome, Rare Guest. ”
Boss Li on the other end of the phone smiled very kindly, and there was an illusion that made people feel like a spring breeze came from the mobile phone, "I don't pay attention to eating, is Da Dong roast duck?" ”
"Cheng, then I'll be 11 o'clock. I'm not familiar with the vicinity of Dadong, so you have to find a place to park the plane for me and get a car to pick me up. ”
"A matter of words."
Gu Mojie hung up the phone, boarded the EC-135HD, and flew straight to the capital.
……
Four hours later, Gu Mojie appeared on time in the capital Dadong roast duck.
After six years, he can feel that Boss Li's temperament is becoming more and more officialdom. The liberal and casual determination of six years ago has been eroded considerably.
Doing search in China is more grinding than doing social networking and e-commerce. The sensitive words that greet harmony above are getting more and more every year, and if you are not careful, you will offend people.
Even when they invited guests to dinner, they moved to a place full of officialdom like Da Dong Roast Duck -- ordinary top rich people, who invite guests to eat and discuss business in the capital, do not like to go to restaurants, but look for affiliated stores in Beijing and offices in various provinces.
And Da Dong's roast duck is just a pretending "family banquet" for foreign visitors like Ao Heima or ****; In terms of deliciousness, it is really not as good as those stores in Beijing.
Perhaps, this has something to do with the fact that among the four giants in China, only Boss Li stayed in Zhongguancun in the capital. The other three giants are all in places where the market economy is relatively developed.
The store was half-drawn, and Yishui's male bodyguard in a suit sealed a corridor and introduced Gu Mojie into the box.
Boss Li was already waiting there, and as soon as Gu Mojie arrived, he served the appetizer and main course within two minutes.
"Back then, I said that the future was terrifying, but I really didn't expect this day to be so soon. You're welcome, sit. ”
Boss Li's first reaction when he saw Gu Mojie was also emotional, and the degree was even worse than Gu Mojie.
Gu Mojie opened a bag of wet wipes to wipe his hands, straightened his windbreaker and sat down: "Robin, do you think I crawled too fast?" ”
"Where to say. To be honest, you have come to this point, and you have won glory for the Chinese. Without you, we Chinese really can't find someone to carry with Zuckerberg. Based on this, I, Li Yanhong, can also convince you. ”
As he spoke, Boss Li also opened a bag of wet wipes, wiped his hands, turned the glass turntable on the dining table half a circle, and turned a main dish in front of Gu Mojie: "It's you kid who is too chong." To be young is to have the capital to take risks. ”
Gu Mojie gave face to the dish that Boss Li turned over, and put a pair of chopsticks on the crispy duck skin: "I like to listen to this, young people, naturally bold." Even if I play hard, I lose the bet; Nine times out of ten, so what? I'm only 24 years old, and I have the opportunity to do it all over again. Robin, if you're 18 years younger, I'm sure you'd be as willing to gamble as I am. ”
Boss Li smiled but said nothing, and the two sat down to eat roast duck and said some old words to support the scene.
After eating a plate of oil-free crispy loose duck skin with osmanthus sauce and taking two bites of plum and cherry desserts, Gu Mojie put down his chopsticks.
"I won't say much nonsense, today's intention is directly spread out with you. Google has reopened Kai Lee, and everyone knows about it. Now Google's new helmsman only needs to make a mistake and get out of China in no time – not to mention you don't want to see that day. ”
Boss Li also put down his chopsticks and took a sip of Xue Ji sake to rinse his mouth: "I want to think about it, but I'm not in a hurry." Google really fell, and it wouldn't 'make a will' to leave it to me, would it? Leave a little two months to make the bureau solid, and if Google dies again, maybe I'll get more. ”
Gu Mojie: "It's not interesting to say this - today's heroes, only Brother Li and Jie'er." On the one-third of an acre of land in the search market, Sogou and Sou can't make waves. As long as you and I have set the terms of sharing accounts together, we will cut through the mess quickly, and it is better for Google to die late than early. ”
Boss Li's face turned slightly red, and he seemed to be ashamed of being so blatantly framing the enemy behind his back. has been in the capital for a long time these years, and Boss Li's face is really not as good as Gu Mojie's foreign wilderness who grew up in the business environment.
Isn't Hatsune ready to expand the PC search market? Give me all the vacant by Google? ”
Gu Mojie decided to reduce the ink and give some sweetness first: "After Google withdraws, I will still leave you Baidu for the homepage search and toolbar search of Hatsune Browser." But I'll take back the browser's scratch search and direct it to the Hatsune search. As for the other traffic entrances, it should be yours or yours.
I estimate that after Google withdraws, I will only take 5% of the 23% of the vacated market. Sogou and Sou each relied on their ability to grab two or three leftovers; The remaining 15% is all yours. ”
Baidu's share of the domestic PC search market is just over half. If Gu Mojie's spoils distribution plan is followed, Baidu's share can exceed two-thirds after the matter is completed.
According to Baidu's internal assessment, it is a 30% increase in business volume.
Boss Li finally looked happy. For today's meeting, it is also sincere, and it is no longer a retreat attitude.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and concessions must be demanded.
This kind of truth, there is no need to care about Mo Jie's teaching, Boss Li knows it himself.
"What do you want?" Boss Li took the initiative to ask very kindly.
"Three conditions." Gu Mojie put down the cup, dipped his hand in the water, and drew three bars on the table.
"First, Gmail users in China. You Baidu don't do email, so you don't have to meddle in this field. I will go to grab Gmail users with Ding Sanshi and Ma Huateng, and everyone has their own ability. ”
Boss Li agreed without thinking about this: "Each depends on his ability? Yes. Anyway, I don't need to spend anything, I support you in public opinion. When a new user searches for email product inquiries, I will help you push the links that are beneficial to you. I will give you another year of email keyword bidding rankings, and you will be at the top. ”
"Second, I will buy the historical data accumulated by Google China in the Chinese market in the past five years. Including those tens of billions of search records, user click results records, these are recorded.
In order to facilitate this, in the process of bringing down Google, I need you to step in and play the white face. And I can only come out in the shadows when I am operating certain government relations, and I don't show up on the surface. ”
This reason is easy to understand: if Gu Mojie personally rushed to the front line of the valley and let Google's people know, then Google would definitely not talk to him about follow-up business, and it would collapse directly.
Since Boss Li is the biggest beneficiary of the valley, he should also be the first bird to bear the notoriety.
Boss Li is not resistant to playing a white face, but Gu Mojie's motive for copying Google's five-year history made Boss Li a little frightened.
"What do you want this data for? Do you want to optimize your ......"
The unspoken sentence of Boss Li is, of course, "Do you want to optimize your search engine?" ”
Gu Mojie naturally interrupted him, so that he didn't have a chance to finish the unemotional speculation:
"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to optimize the AI voice assistant for mobile phones. Google's search history can make the phone a little more human-like. I won't tell you about the specific technical means, it's too long. ”
Boss Li was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he reacted to what Gu Mojie said: "Artificial intelligence assistant? OH, YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE ALSO WORKING ON THE SMART PHONE VOICE ASSISTANT FOR SIRI, THE COMPANY THAT APPLE BOUGHT LAST YEAR? ”
Gu Mojie affirmed the other party's statement: "That's it, you Baidu is so good, you won't even have a little cloud artificial intelligence foundation." ”
Li Yanhong nodded: "Yes, of course there is a layout, but it is just laying the foundation, and I haven't seen the products that have been cashed out yet." ”
Gu Mojie picked up the cup and took a sip of his drink: "Okay, I really treat you as a friend, and I will remind you casually." Artificial intelligence is not something that can be done well with technology and algorithms, but more importantly, 'historical records' and data. Baidu pinched the search thinking records of Chinese over the years, and it would be a pity not to do it. ”
"Thanks, I see what you mean. These are the wealth of all Chinese, put in the hands of Baidu, if you don't use it, I Li will be ********. ”
Gu Mojie smiled silently.
Remind Baidu to accelerate its investment in artificial intelligence, of course, it will form a competition for Hatsune Intelligence in the future. From a domestic business perspective, it's not necessarily good for Hatsune.
But standing in the position of a Chinese, Gu Mojie still couldn't help but remind Boss Li this time. All Chinese netizens have been on the Internet for ten years, and they are all in the hands of Boss Li, and if he doesn't do it, no one can do this. In the future, the power of Chinese against Google's intelligence will be even weaker.
Americans need Google plus Apple to stand at the pinnacle of the AI era; Gu Mojie also needs to integrate the strength of the whole nation to fight. (To be continued.) )
