"Meeting, meeting now."

What is the company's internal email, this is just an email from Robin Li's public relations.

It's just that the success of this kind of crisis public relations has not been successful, and Baidu's search engine market has been challenged. More importantly, if Baidu's search share continues to decline in the future, it will really have to hand over the market position of the domestic search leader.

At this time, the three founders, including Baidu's major executives, all looked stern, waiting for Robin Li's speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this PPC incident has exposed a lot of our Baidu's shortcomings. Although, we are still in control of the market. But if it continues like this, our market will have to be handed over. Now, I want you to analyze how we should go in the future, and at the same time, how to prevent these similar incidents from happening? ”

"Mr. Li, I think this incident should be done by Yi Sou behind his back."

A marketing manager stood up and said to Robin Li.

"How do you know?"

"Although I am not sure, according to people familiar with the matter, Yisou staff were involved in the whole incident. And, the early media, they also contacted. So, I think that since they are trying to mess with us, we can also fight back. I don't believe that they are so easy to search and so clean. ”

Everyone is a business, although it seems that the search engine of Easy Search is healthier than Baidu. However, in this world, as long as he is an individual, he has shortcomings. Even, even if it is a small shortcoming, but if such a shortcoming is published, it can also arouse criticism from others. Not to mention, a large commercial company. As long as you want to him, you can definitely find the problem.

It's just that without waiting for Robin Li to answer, Robin Li's wife, Ma Dongmin, who is also Baidu's chief financial officer, immediately denied it, "Whether it is a ghost behind Yisou is not for us to consider for the time being." Even if we know that it was done by Yisou, our first task now is not to fight with Yisou, but how to keep our search market. You know, if it weren't for the instructions of our superior departments this time, we Baidu might really be in a huge predicament. ”

After the establishment of China's new generation of leadership groups, the information industry has been promoted to a key industry supported by the state.

Similarly, as an Internet search engine, Baidu is also one of the state-supported enterprises.

Although during this period of time, Baidu is in crisis. However, for the development of China's Internet and the development of Chinese enterprises. The government still stepped in and helped Baidu resolve part of the crisis.

If it weren't for the government's action, Ma Dongmin really couldn't imagine how far their Baidu would be hit by competitors.

"Mr. Ma, I received news that Yisou has reached a cooperation with hao123. A large number of newcomer users pass through guòhao123 and enter the search interface of Easy Search. Coupled with our PPC event this time, Yisou has grown rapidly. I see, we are not, also cooperate with hao123 to see. ”

Xu Yong, another founder of Baidu, put forward his own opinions at this time.

“hao123？”

Robin Li was shocked, "What are you talking about, hao123, a subsidiary of Penguin Technology?" ”

The appearance of hao123, in the same way, the founders of Baidu also have attention.

It's just that at that time, they didn't have much thought about hao123, they just felt that hao123 was just left over from Yahoo's play. Even now, Yahoo doesn't survive on URL navigation. However, hao123 relied on such a very simple and simple website recommendation model to squeeze into the Chinese market.

It wasn't until the end that Robin Li and others discovered that hao123 was developed by Penguin Technology, that is, pushed by Zhang Ning.

However, even if you know, Robin Li doesn't recognize hao123 too much.

He feels that hao123's entry into the Chinese market is just a result of their advertising, not the result of hao123 itself.

"Yes, we have negotiated hao123 before, and even, we have also talked about whether hao123 will become a more important Internet entrance than search engines in the future."

Xu Yong nodded.

However, all those who discussed it at the time unanimously denied it.

They feel that Internet navigation has some effect in the beginning. Just like Yahoo back then, when they launched, it really drove popularity and really helped novice users. However, as users gradually grow, people's dependence on Internet navigation will become smaller and smaller. Finally, it will be the world of search engines.

"Hehe, there's no need to continue discussing this. Search engines have been validated both in our country and abroad. On the other hand, there is really no well-known Internet navigation company in the world. However, Xu Yong. When it comes to hao123 Internet navigation, we seem to be able to cooperate with hao123 in the same way as Yisou. Moreover, the new users attracted by hao123 are also of great help to us. ”

Regardless of whether you recognize hao123 or not, but now hao123 still has a little effect, and Robin Li does not object.

It's just that at this time, his wife Ma Dongmin frowned, "I'm afraid that hao123 won't cooperate with us." ”

At this point, Robin Li and Xu Yong both frowned.

"Although we haven't been in contact with that kid, he has purchased the Yanda search engine before. I think in the near future, they will launch their own search engine. It's just that I don't understand something. If they want to launch their own search engine, why do they also help Yisou promote the market? Don't they want to do the search part? ”

Xu Yong didn't understand a little and put the question on the table.

"That's something I've never been able to figure out."

Ma Dongmin shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

"I think, no matter what, let's get in touch with Penguin Technology."

Although Robin Li also thinks that Penguin Technology will definitely not cooperate with them, who knows if he doesn't ask.

"Of course, if they don't want to cooperate, then, I think, we can also launch our own Internet navigation."

Although, this seems to be more troublesome, and moreover, it has to compete with Penguin Tech.

But for the sake of a larger search market in the future, Robin Li feels that it is still worth it.

However, when Baidu's senior management was holding an important meeting, a guest they couldn't have imagined came to Baidu.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang of Penguin Technology is here."

"Mr. Zhang?"

"Which Mr. Zhang?"

Several people were shocked, but they all said in unison, "Zhang Ning? ”

"What is he here for?"

Robin Li asked his assistant.

Similarly, Ma Dongmin and Xu Yong are also very strange.

I don't know what Zhang Ning is doing in their Baidu?

"He said, you don't have a meeting to discuss, they Penguin Technology is willing to cooperate with us Baidu."

"Ah......h
