Google.

"Kai-Fu Lee, the headquarters has issued an order for you to support my work for a period of time in the future."

Google's global vice president took over Kai-Fu Lee's position with an order from the headquarters after inspecting a section of the Chinese market.

For such an appointment, Kai-Fu Lee was not surprised.

Although he has been working hard, Google has been forced to such a point by penguins, and Lee Kai-fu has to bear the primary responsibility.

"I hope you can take a good look at this information."

Google's new CEO in China is named Kerry, a classmate of Google's founder, Page.

He has long wanted to come to China to take over the business, just because Google came to China before and needed to find a China expert.

In the end, Page did not let Kerry go to the Chinese market.

As a result, Lee Kai-fu's performance on the Chinese side was terrible, and Kerry took office.

However, Kerry was born with little affection for the Chinese, even when he came to China.

The same is true for Kai-Fu Lee.

If it weren't for the company's belief that Kai-Fu Lee knew more about China, I'm afraid, let alone resigning as his CEO, would not even have the opportunity to stay at Google, which is of course Kerry's guess.

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Kerry, I'll study it carefully."

Kai-Fu Lee opened the information book, and it said that one of Google's latest businesses, Google Maps, was written.

Google Maps?

"Mr. Kerry, this is Google's latest map business in North America."

"Yes."

Kerry nodded proudly, "The headquarters hopes that this business can reorganize the Chinese market." ”

"No, Mr. Kerry, I don't think Huaxia can launch a map business for the time being. Or rather, it's not time yet. ”

"Manager Li, this is the meaning of the headquarters. And, don't you see. Our Google Maps, as soon as it was launched in North America, was very popular. I believe that the same is true in the Chinese market. ”

"No, Mr. Kerry. The Chinese market has its peculiarities, although now it seems that the Chinese Internet is also very hot. However, the history of the Internet in China is still very short, and many people are coming into contact with computers for the first time. A search engine, they all find it very difficult. Not to mention, we're in the map business. I think we should wait a little longer. ”

"Wait? How long to wait, a year, two years, three years...... Manager Li, I think you're scared of being beaten by penguins. ”

"Mr. Kerry, that's not what I meant."

"Okay, don't talk about it, if you don't want to support my work, you can resign from the headquarters at any time. I'm busy. ”

After saying that, Kerry ignored Lee Kai-fu again.

……

Penguin Tech.

A week later, Chi Mingyu searched the research team and made a plan.

"Mr. Zhang, under your inspiration, we have come up with three brand new businesses."

"Three, so many."

Zhang Ning was a little surprised, "Let's talk about these three businesses." ”

"The first business, we call it the sea of words."

"Sea of words?"

Zhang Ning doesn't know what the word sea business is, and there doesn't seem to be any word sea in the search engine in later generations.

However, there is a business called Encyclopedia that is close to him.

"Mr. Zhang, in fact, this business has some similarities with knowing business. Know that the business is what you ask me to answer, and bring together all the questions in the world. Our sea of words is the same, and our sea of words is more detailed than the sea of words in reality. At the same time, the content of the sea of words does not only include words, but also includes some celebrity introductions, professional terms, and Internet slang. And, we will also build a separate business for him. Because this business is very large, we decided to open this platform and let all netizens around the world participate in it to jointly improve our word sea. ”

"It's this business."

This business is the encyclopedia of Baidu in the future, but it is called a different way.

It's just that Zhang Ning is not particularly optimistic about this business.

Of course, it is not that I am particularly optimistic that I don't like this business, but that this business cannot bring qualitative changes to the current search.

"Manager Shi, I probably know what you mean by this business. As you said, this business is the same as Sosou's knowing. In fact, he is still based on user search. This business will only be effective after the user searches. However, I don't want a business built on search. I hope that even if users don't search, they will enjoy using our search engine...... Save this plan for later use, and don't use guò for the time being. ”

Shi Mingyu was a little embarrassed when the business was denied, but he also prepared two other plans.

"The second business, which we came up with, is the search leaderboard. In addition to showing the search rankings of the day, this leaderboard also categorizes the rankings for each row category. Like entertainment stars, film and television, variety shows, universities, novels...... Wait a minute. ”

"Well, it's a bit interesting, but it's just too niche."

This business doesn't need to search, he only needs to click on the leaderboard, and he can see the search of everyone that day.

There's something like watching the news.

However, judging from the experience of later generations, not too many people like to use the leaderboard.

If you want to watch the news, you can go to the major portals.

"What else?"

Seeing that Zhang Ning still had some negativity, Shi Mingyu came up with the final plan.

They also have some worries about this plan, and they don't know if it can be passed.

"Search the forum."

The last option is a forum.

These days, they have been thinking about Zhang Ning's words.

Zhang Ning is right, if the search engine always wants other products to import traffic. Such a search engine, unless it is the world's top, no product can compare. Otherwise, such a search engine is potentially dangerous. If the search engine itself can attract users, it can generate IP itself. Undoubtedly, such a search engine is the most powerful.

They thought about it a lot.

Eventually, they turned their direction to the forum.

The forum is the most popular place.

The forum can also be soaked on it all the time.

Moreover, for this forum, they also referred to the settings of Tianya, Maopu, etc., and set up a new search forum.

Seeing this forum, Zhang Ning felt very satisfied.

Satisfied, they were able to set their direction on the forum, which is already good.

It's just that after being satisfied, Zhang Ning shook his head again.

Chi Mingyu sweated in his heart.

This is nodding and shaking his head, what does it mean, is it that all three plans are no?

If so, it's a shame.

Fortunately, Zhang Ning did not deny this plan, looking at the plan of the third plan, Zhang Ning said with a smile, "The third plan is very good, and it is indeed a good plan to retain users by using the forum." It's just that I took a look at it, and your plan is still stuck in the traditional forum mode. You must know that in the future, our search engine may have tens of millions of IP traffic every day, such a large amount of traffic, if only the traditional forum model is used. Do you think the users are interested in them? In other words, even if you are interested, the traditional model of the forum is too petty. ”

"Mr. Zhang, hasn't our forum always been like this?"

"It's always been like this, can't we innovate?"

"Manager Shi, let me ask you, why do users like to go to the forum."

"Because the forum has common topics to discuss, and it can be a long technical analysis."

"Yes, I'm pretty much the same. However, there are some people who are not interested in the current forum section. For example, everyone is talking about computers, and I don't know anything about computers. Everyone is talking about literature, and I don't know anything about literature. Everyone is talking about eating and drinking, and I'm not interested in eating and drinking, so what should I do? ”

"Mr. Zhang rest assured, we have set up hundreds of sub-copyrights in this program, and I believe that as long as users enter our forum, there will always be a copyright that he will be interested in."

Chi Mingyu seemed to have thought of this question a long time ago and answered confidently.

It's just that Zhang Ning still shook his head, "I just read your plan, and there are only more than 100 sub-sections, which is too few." Moreover, this more than 100 subreddits may not be able to include all categories. For example, I'm out and can't go home, or, even if I'm at home, but I really want to chat with my fellow countrymen online, what should I do? ”

"This is also our subreddit, and users can go to the city channel to chat."

"But my hometown is a small city, just a small county town, what should I do?"

"That ......"

Ji Mingyu couldn't help it.

"Also, if I'm idle right now, and I want to discuss the plot of a certain novel in the forum, where should I go to discuss it."

"We also have a subreddit, to the Fiction Channel."

"However, what I want to discuss is the world's whitest reborn wealth and color world, where should I go?"

"Well, it's not that specific."

Ji Mingyu was asked and didn't know how to answer.

Or when asked, it was beyond his imagination.

In his mind, where is the forum so specific.

Looking at Mr. Zhang's meaning, it seems that if he thinks of something, he wants to open a forum.

Am I idle and bored now, can I also open a boring forum?

"So, Manager Chi, the forums I thought of before were all forums in the traditional mode. Such a forum can no longer meet the growing spiritual needs of netizens. And when I talk about forums, he's a forum in a whole new way. Not only can he network all the users, but he can also collect all the sub-section channels. Just like just now, in fact, our forum can do it. We can actually refer to QQ groups, let's think about it, there are all kinds of QQ groups in QQ. Why, our forums can't have all sorts of sub-channels. ”

"Manager Chi, do you want to ask, how to create so many channels, it's too complicated."

"Hehe, we don't need to create it, just leave it to the user. We just need to make a template like this, and users can create whatever forum they want, and we only need to review it. ”

Lifting out the QQ group, Chi Mingyu suddenly understood a little.

Yes, since the QQ group has been there, many people don't go to post it.

Why?

In addition to the QQ group can gather everyone to chat together, there is a more important reason that there are various topics in the QQ group, and such topics are not available in traditional forums. And if the forum can also launch a variety of topics, that is, sub-channels, then, such a forum, he will catch all the forums in the world and become the king of the forum.

"Oh my God, Mr. Zhang, is he still called a forum like this?"

Although I didn't see what the specific forum was like, according to Zhang Ning's thoughts. Chi Mingyu has already seen that this is a forum like a Big Mac, and he can completely cover the whole of China. Moreover, by such a forum. Even if there are some people who are not interested in the forum before, they will join it because there are tens of millions of topics and sub-channels.

Is this really a forum?

"Manager Chi, what you said is right, such a forum, he has surpassed all the forums, he is no longer a forum in the traditional sense. Instead of calling him the forum, it's better to call him a poster. ”
