"Mr. Zhang Ning, you mean that we should focus on searching, or rather, focus on searching?"

David said from the side. ~~x~

"Yes."

Zhang Ning nodded, "In the future, it will definitely be the world of search, and although the portal is strong, it is far from comparable." Moreover, the search engine can also be the interface of all websites, and any Internet product has to be through the guò search engine. In addition, the stickiness of the portal is not as good as that of search, and a country can have only one search engine. However, a country can have three or four portals. Moreover, with the improvement of each country's own Internet technology, Yahoo will face greater competition in the future. ”

"Mr. Zhang Ning, you're right. It's just a pity that we don't have much to do right now. ”

Yang Zhiyuan frowned, "This can only be said to be our mistake, and we didn't expect that a small search engine, he actually surpassed the status of the portal." But when we did it ourselves, we found that Google had almost monopolized most of the global market. We've advertised a lot in various countries or regions, but they haven't been successful. Even in the United States, our home market, relying on the promotion of our Yahoo portal, our Yahoo search, has not been promoted. It seems that, as you said, search engines are really stickier than portals. ”

"Haha, two, it seems that in recent times, searching for this piece of business has really made you tangled up a lot."

"Yes, not only that, presumably Mr. Zhang Ning also received the news that Microsoft seems to be interested in entering the search area. With the help of their operating system, I'm afraid, we'll have to add another competitor. ”

"Microsoft don't worry. I don't know, have you investigated why portals and the like can't promote search engines. ”

"After surveying, many users have responded that they are used to Google and don't want to use our Yahoo."

"It's just scratching the surface."

Zhang Ning shook his head.

"Habits will be broken one day, and besides, Google has only been around for a few years, and it's been less than four years. They say how much habit you can develop in four years with habits. What's more, the technical difficulty of a search engine is no stronger than that of an operating system. I think that Microsoft will not have a monopoly on the operating system in the future. Of course, let's not mention the operating system. Let's talk about search, you Yahoo includes a series of ads that can't promote search engines. In addition to Google's completion of its monopoly, more importantly, your portal and other platforms are only a single product for the advertising community. It's not interactive, people just receive your kind of information unilaterally.

Let's just talk about your Yahoo engine, you put it on the Yahoo portal homepage, although as soon as people enter Yahoo, they see Yahoo search at a glance. However, they don't have a strong need in their hearts to search with Yahoo. And when they have a need, they don't necessarily browse your Yahoo. ”

"Huh......"

The two glanced at each other in unison, "Mr. Zhang Ning, what you said seems to make sense." ”

"In this case, we should add some tasks that require users to use our Yahoo search."

Zhang Ning just prompted, and Yang Zhiyuan had already thought of some ways in his heart.

It's just that after a while, Yang Zhiyuan shook his head again.

Still won't work.

The positioning of portal websites is limited, even if there are some tasks for users to use search.

However, this is not long-lasting, nor is it spontaneous by the user.

This is not much of a threat to Google search.

David didn't think too much about it, looked at Zhang Ning, who had been smiling all the time, and seemed to guess something, "So it seems that Mr. Zhang Ning, you have a way." ”

"I just have a preliminary idea."

Zhang Ning nodded.

"Mr. Zhang Ning, please speak."

Yang Zhiyuan asked anxiously.

It's just that Zhang Ning didn't speak, still smiling.

"Haha, I'm in a hurry."

Yang Zhiyuan seemed to have guessed something, "For such an important trade secret, it is too abrupt for me to ask for such a plain reason." However, Mr. Zhang Ning, if you have any requirements, just mention them. ”

"Mr. Yang, I don't have any requirements, it's okay to tell you this idea."

Zhang Ning deliberately hung Yang Zhiyuan's taste, "This idea is actually very simple, that is, to use our Facebook network to promote Yahoo for you." ”

"Facebook."

The two were stunned for a moment, instantly overjoyed, and then fell silent again.

It was Yang Zhiyuan who spoke, "Mr. Zhang Ning, the potential of Facebook's recent performance makes us very impressed. Speaking of which, he has more potential than we have at Yahoo. The range of countries he covers is wider than that of Yahoo. Moreover, Facebook is also the Internet site that covers the most countries besides Google. It's just that you don't say that a single type of advertising to users doesn't have much effect? ”

"Yes, I did, but you need to understand that Facebook is not your average Internet site. It is not a portal that only provides others with a website, it is a platform for users to interact with each other. People log in to this platform, interact all the time, and operate all the time. As long as we want, we can make it natural for users to do some things to search, for example, by replacing the search for adding friends with Yahoo Search. This Yahoo search, in addition to searching for friends on Facebook, can also search for corresponding content related to this keyword. Of course, he can also search for the user's photos, profiles...... Wait a minute. As more and more such searches appear, do the two still think that Yahoo can't break Google's monopoly? Or are users really used to using Google? ”

"This, this, this ......"

Yang Zhiyuan and David's breathing seemed a little short.

Zhang Ning's words brought them a new vision.

Although this is only the initial idea that Zhang Ning said, the two have been on the Internet for so many years. They can already see that with an interactive site like Facebook, it is really possible for him to overtake and catch up with Google. It is not even known how well it will operate in the future and replace Google as the hegemon of the global search field.

Oh, my God.

The Zhang Ning in front of him is simply a monster.

No wonder he has been invincible in China.

It's no wonder that it only took him a few months to get Facebook to the world.

It's no wonder that it's not that he's lucky, it's that he's really a genius, no, more genius than a genius.

The genius is like a monster.

"Mr. Zhang Ning, I want to know, what requirements do you need."

It was Yang Zhiyuan who was the first to calm down.

Although he is now eager to cooperate with Zhang Ning immediately.

Even, no matter how high the promotion cost, they will come out.

However, when he saw that Zhang Ning had been smiling, Yang Zhiyuan seemed to think of something.

Perhaps, Zhang Ning's request will not be so simple.

"Mr. Yang Zhiyuan, don't look at me like this, I don't have any uneasy intentions, I just want to cooperate."

"I know, but, I don't think Mr. Zhang Ning can give us this benefit for nothing. Moreover, it seems that Mr. Zhang Ning also has a search engine on the Chinese side. If you want to enter this area, Mr. Zhang Ning should most hope to promote your search, not our Yahoo. ”

"Mr. Yang is still smart, in the beginning, I really didn't think about working with you Yahoo. Like you, I also see the value of the search engine of the future. However, you should know that we are a Chinese company. How difficult it will be for a Chinese company to enter the world, especially to enter Europe and the United States. If Facebook hadn't been established in the United States, I don't think Facebook would have been able to enter the world now. ”

"Then tell me about your conditions."

Yang Zhiyuan couldn't help but nodded, he did know the difficulty of penguins entering the world.

This is a national limitation, no matter how good your technology is, no matter how innovative your products are, sometimes you can't do it.

"I want your shares in Yahoo Japan."
