70 million.

True value.

After signing the contract with Yan University, Zhang Ning couldn't help laughing.

Compared with the search engine market in later generations, 70 million is completely equal to a drop in the bucket.

This flipping the contract is equivalent to Zhang Ning picking up a huge bargain.

"Professor Chi, I have injected the first batch of 50 million research funds into our laboratory. At the same time, I will also participate in the development of search engines in the future, and your task is only one, that is, to develop search engines at full speed. Strive to complete the search engine within two years. ”

"No problem."

Ji Mingyu looked a little excited.

smashed 50 million in one go, which is much more generous than Yanda.

In particular, Zhang Ning said that he will also participate in the development in the future, if so, the semi-artificial intelligence that has been bothering him will be able to completely enter the search engine market and create a world's top search engine.

"Okay, you study, I won't bother you."

After instructing Chi Mingyu, Zhang Ning returned to Penguin Technology.

Just now he received an important news that Son had contacted Robin Li from Baidu.

If nothing else, Baidu is likely to receive investment from Mr. Son, allowing Baidu to dominate the entire domestic market.

Zhang Ning is very worried about this. If Baidu really monopolizes the domestic market, even if its own search engine is pushed out, it will be somewhat unable to shake Baidu's position. Just like Google in later generations, no matter how powerful Google's technology is, in the domestic market, Google is defeated by Baidu.

It seems that we have to find a way.

Constantly, Zhang Ning searched for information on the current domestic search engine market.

Easy to search.

When Zhang Ning set his eyes on Yi Sou, his eyes suddenly lit up.

There's a way.

Like Baidu, Yisou is a search engine company.

Although in later generations, many people don't remember Yisou, and they haven't used Yisou. However, in the 2000s, Yisou and Baidu entered the domestic market at about the same time. Moreover, the share of the domestic market has also been scraped by these two companies. Although Baidu's current market size is larger, it has not formed a thorough advantage.

However, Zhang Ning knows that with Baidu's investment by capital, and Baidu's founder Robin Li was originally an expert in search engines, in the competition between the two parties in later generations, Yisou was completely defeated in technology. In the end, Baidu occupied the domestic search engine market in one fell swoop. Although in later generations, Sogou, Soso, Google and so on entered, but they also failed to beat Baidu.

At this time, help Yi Sou, this can snipe the scene of Baidu's monopoly.

Easy to search.

Yisou was founded by Pan Jun.

As a graduate of Mizuki University, Pan Jun founded Yisou after he graduated from graduate school.

So far, it has become one of the two major search engine companies in China.

However, Pan Jun is currently very troubled.

He got the news that Masayoshi Son of Japan's SoftBank had entered Baidu's headquarters.

Although, Yisou has always been not afraid of Baidu's threat, and it is divided into the domestic search engine market with Baidu.

But Pan Jun knows that compared with Baidu, which was developed by Robin Li who studied in the United States, Yisou is still much weaker in search technology. In the early days, this difference in technology may not be enough to determine who wins and who loses. However, once the market enters the middle stage, especially after the entry of capital, the technology will show its power.

Especially for search engines.

While search engines with instant messaging, portals ...... and so on, all Internet software. Originally, Internet software does not require much technology. However, search engines are different. Search engines serve the Internet website and also serve the search of users. His technical difficulty is greater than that of any Internet software.

In fact, Pan Jun also thought of a way.

For example, looking for venture capital to enter. It's not that hard, and there are venture capitalists who are willing to invest in them.

The difficulty is that they can't solve the technical difficulties.

Just when Pan Jun had been frowning, the secretary walked in.

"Mr. Pan, Zhang Ning, founder of Penguin Technology, visited."

"Zhang Ning?"

Pan Jun was stunned for a moment, and soon became a little excited, "Hurry up, please." ”

For Zhang Ning of Penguin Technology, Pan Jun has long wanted to get to know him.

Although he didn't know what Zhang Ning was doing in their company, Pan Jun still met Zhang Ning for the first time.

"It is said that the Internet is the world of young people, and Zhang always truly embodies the essence of this sentence."

Looking at a person who looked like a college student sitting opposite him, Pan Jun said with emotion in the first sentence.

Mr. Pan laughed, you know, you were named one of the top ten outstanding young people in Yanjing this year. I'm so young, I'm nothing. ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, don't shame me with this title. Well, as you said, we are all young people, and we are all welcome, drink tea. ”

After that, Pan Jun took a sip of tea first, put down the teacup, and Pan Jun said thoughtfully, "Mr. Zhang, I am jealous of you." In the instant messaging part, you penguins are invincible, this is really carefree. ”

"Mr. Zhang, you're joking again, do you know how much Penguin Technology loses every month?"

"How much?"

"20 million."

"So much?"

"Yes, if we want to keep this instant messaging market, we can only continue to invest more. Besides, you're not bad at easy searching. Among the two major search engines in China, you have one easy search. This time, I'd like to talk to you about a partnership. ”

"What cooperation?"

"It's very simple, I just want you to help us promote Penguin Technology more."

Search engines don't seem to have the same advantages as traditional advertising, in fact, search engines are much more useful than traditional electronic advertising. In particular, when people are searching, the content you want to promote is embedded in the search page, which is more convenient than any advertisement.

Zhang Ning's use of a search engine to advertise their Penguin Technology is also very reasonable.

"That's totally fine."

Someone sent to the door to do business for themselves, which one would disagree?

However, Zhang Ning's words were not finished yet, "Mr. Pan, if I say, I won't give money." ”

"Don't give money?"

Pan Jun's expression was strange, and he only felt that Zhang Ning was joking.

But seeing Zhang Ningyan's appearance, Pan Jun felt that something was wrong. However, Haochai is also a bull in the Internet industry, but after a while, Pan Jun figured it out, "It's okay if you don't have money, I believe that Mr. Zhang must have the conditions that satisfy me." ”

"Clever."

Talking to smart people is such a time-saver.

Zhang Ning was very happy, and took out a piece of information, "I have a search number method of the search engine here, although it is not the top search number method in the world, but it can make your company's easy search to catch up with Baidu's footsteps." ”
