Chapter 258: Tanuki for the Prince
"Mr. Zhang, why do you want to cooperate with Baidu?"
After signing the cooperation with Baidu, Li Xi knocked on Zhang Ning's office and asked with a surprised expression. (Baidu search)
"Mr. Zhang, our hao123 has become the first port for countless newcomers to surf the Internet. With this one port, we can launch any Internet product. And to search for this piece, we can also enter it through guòhao123. Why, Mr. Zhang still wants to cooperate with Baidu......"
Li Xi couldn't think clearly. If it's just collaboration, that's okay. Like Yisou, it is only promoted by means of text connection on the website, which does not have much impact on them. However, Li Xi didn't understand why Zhang Ning actually moved Baidu's entire search engine to hao123, which was simply cutting off his own back road.
"Li Xi, don't get excited."
"Oh my God, Mr. Zhang, can I not be excited, didn't you put me in charge of promoting the search engine in the future? But now, oh my God, Mr. Zhang, you're not going to let me be in charge of working with Baidu's search engine, right? ”
Cooperate with other people's searches, why not make your own search, this makes Li Xi really can't understand.
"Calm, calm, there are some things that you won't know until the future is revealed. Now, you're still going to work hard. And, Li Xi, you have to know. If we don't come up with such cooperation, our hao123 will not appear on the Baidu homepage. At the same time, a considerable number of users who used to use Baidu have gradually used our hao123. ”
"Mr. Zhang, I know it too. However, more of our hao123 users have started to use Baidu. Moreover, the search engine is such a high-level storage zài. In the future, he will definitely develop more than he can navigate the Internet. Even, our users, in the future, may become Baidu users, in the long run, this is very unfavorable for us. ”
"Oh, it seems that you also think that in the future, search engines will be more important than Internet navigation?"
"Yes, doesn't Mr. Zhang think so?"
"I think so too."
Zhang Ning nodded.
"That Mr. Zhang, since you think so, how can you still cooperate with Baidu in such a way, this is too much to lose."
"Hehe, Li Xi, you're too worried. Do you think that the users who use our hao123 Internet navigation, they can tell the difference, whether they use Baidu or Yisou? ”
"What do you say?"
Li Xi didn't understand Zhang Ning's words, but Zhang Ning no longer explained. It wasn't until a period of time, that is, after Penguin Technology's search engine was officially developed and an independent domain name soso was launched, that Li Xi understood. Turns out, for novice users. In addition to not knowing what a URL is, or hate typing a URL, they don't know which search engine they use.
That is to say, as long as there is a search box on the Internet navigation, they will not care whether your search box is Baidu or Search. Similarly, when hao123 successfully replaced Sosou with Baidu, Penguin Technology completely announced that Penguin officially entered the search field. And, with the role of hao123 Internet navigation, as well as the early use of Baidu search in hao123 to cultivate users, search search just one day, has successfully squeezed 20% of the domestic search engine market.
Such a speed almost shocked the entire Internet circle.
Even, at this time, many Internet media also strongly watched Penguin Technology's launch of the search business.
To this end, they have also launched a series of powerful topics.
From NetEase Technology, a special feature of "Tanuki for Prince" exhausted Penguin Technology's horror strategy.
On this topic, a professional wrote:
Zhang Ning, who is known as a demonic character, did not let go of the search engine market. As early as 2000, Penguin Technology had acquired Yanda Search Engine Research Laboratory. However, at that time, the market was not mature, or their search engine research was not mature at that time, and therefore, Penguin Technology did not enter the search engine market.
However, Penguin Technology is one step late, and the search market is growing by leaps and bounds, just like online games. When Penguin Technology looked back at the search engine market, they had found that Baidu dominated the country in the past, and Yisou was eyeing it out, and it was difficult to enter the search market by relying solely on its own strength.
However, a genius is a genius, and a demon is a demon.
Although he was temporarily unable to enter the search market on his own, Zhang Ning adopted another method.
First of all, Zhang Ning first bypassed Penguin Technology and launched an Internet navigation. That's right, it's the hao123 we've been using now. Maybe you think that although hao123 is good, everyone likes to use it, but he is too simple and simple, so simple that he has so much traffic, but he has not been able to make much money. In fact, hao123 really didn't make much money, and in its most glorious period, hao123 only made more than 1 million a month. It's just that hao123 doesn't make money if it doesn't make money, but he is a very powerful platform. Under his promotion, countless websites have relied on hao123 to keep their market. Countless websites, relying on the promotion of hao123, have entered the sight of domestic people.
And it is precisely because of hao123's natural and powerful platform that hao123 has created the success of hao123 to promote search engines.
However, in order to stabilize dìnghao123, and also to allow users to be familiar with search engines at the beginning. Zhang Ning still hasn't launched his own search, and even, he has cooperated with Yisou and Baidu. Especially in cooperation with Baidu, almost, on hao123, Baidu has completely moved the entire search.
Such an illusion once made people think, as if, Zhang Ning, this guy may not want to engage in any search business.
However, after a period of time, a tanuki for the prince strategy made Penguin Technology's search officially debut.
Users who have been using the Baidu search engine on hao123 basically don't know anything about hao123 replacing Baidu with Soso. They are still in the search box on guòhao123, and they are constantly searching every day. Previously, the search users cultivated by Baidu on hao123 were all scored by searching.
This has also created a search business that has captured 20% of the domestic market just after it came out.
Of course, we also believe. Baidu, which has been tricked by Penguin Technology, will not stop there.
They will definitely use legal means to confront Penguin Technology on this.
It's just that we don't have much hope for that.
The market has been snatched away by Zhang Ning, and it is basically impossible to take it back.
In fact, when Zhang Ning directly replaced Baidu with Sosou, he received the anger from Baidu Robin Li for the first time.
The first wave of anger was naturally to stop all cooperation with hao123, and at the same time, it also blocked all Penguin technology products.
However, such a ban still seems to puzzle Robin Li's anger.
After the blocking, Baidu took Penguin Technology and hao123 to court.
Looking at the leaflet sent by the court, Zhang Ning didn't feel worried at all.
Although, he knows, he did sign a one-year contract with Baidu. If you really want to fight a lawsuit, you will definitely lose.
However, even if it is to lose, Zhang Ning has countless ways.
The first is procrastination.
It seems that there is not much legal support for lawsuits on the Internet until now.
As long as you want to drag them, it is possible to drag them for three or four years. And in three or four years, Baidu may be finished.
However, Zhang Ning did not plan to delay, he had already grabbed the market in his hands, and it was normal for Robin Li to get angry.
Thinking in his heart, Zhang Ning took out the phone and called Robin Li.
