"Search Engines." Zhou Shuo swore that "I want to inject the third-generation search engine technology into this new company." ”

"Search engines?"

Li Zhike is no longer the electric white who was difficult to pass the computer grade exam at the beginning, and even after studying in the past few years, he is already a qualified technician.

But when it comes to search engines, she is still inevitably a little unfamiliar. The Internet in China in 1997 can be said to be the beginning of a qiē, and all kinds of websites have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Ding Lei opened a pig farm with an attitude in this year, and Wang Zhidong sold 40% of the shares of Sitong Cube in his hand, and was ready to start Sina with great ambition. Zhang Chaoyang's Sohu is also eager to try.

China has more than 10 million computers, the first generation of Internet users in China has begun to appear, and China is entering the dawn of the Internet age.

Of course, Li Zhi also came into contact with the Internet for the first time and was deeply fascinated by it. But at this time, the Chinese Internet did not have a mature search engine.

The first generation of the Internet's search engine was just a directory of jù databases, which shared the various websites collected by the website creators. The content, efficiency, and accuracy of the search are very limited.

The Internet's second-generation search engines have a much more powerful database than the first, as well as more advanced machine qì human page scraping technology, that is, spiders. This generation of search engines is the search model pioneered by Yahoo and Sohu.

The third-generation search engine technology introduces a series of evaluation criteria such as preprocessing, artificial intelligence grading, and PR value. It can locate and analyze the user's search needs and provide accurate search results.

But these are hidden behind the technical details of the application. Li Zhi didn't know much. The Chinese web doesn't yet have a successful search engine, and Yahoo's search engine is still a bit rough. I really can't see what the attraction is about this.

"The current search engine technology is still too crude, and it is just a simple search and feedback of the logarithmic jù library." Zhou Shuo nodded and said: "In the future, with the exponential increase of network information, network users will definitely face a process of information acquisition. This process is almost a necessary channel for ordinary people to access the network. Yahoo started with a category page in the United States, and now some Americans even think that the entire Internet was created by Yahoo, because all websites are accessed through Guò Yahoo Search. ”

Zhou Shuo came to a categorical conclusion: "There is not enough information on the Internet now, and the demand for this kind of sorting information is not strong. But in less than three years, the current second-generation search engine will definitely not be able to meet the needs of users. ”

But how does this search engine make a profit? Compared to software companies. The business capacity of today's Internet companies is really worrying. ”

Being able to ask this question made Zhou Shuo even more impressed by Li Zhi's ability. This is not 2015, just take out a person in the IT industry, and you can tell a 1, 2, or 3 about the Internet profit model. In fact, the explosive development of the Internet at this stage is still maintaining the traditional business model.

Netscape makes the browser free for individual users, but makes a lot of money from businesses and large customers. More network services are not to find profit points through guò model innovation, but to charge users directly. Then sell the software or services.

This may still work in the United States, where the financial system is well-developed, personal credit cards are widely available, and e-commerce is on a high footing. But not in China. Determined by the level of financial infrastructure, it is impossible for the profit model of the Internet to make profits from ordinary netizens. However, advertisers still do not recognize Internet platforms very much, and the ratio of input and output is extremely uneven.

But such a simple truth. At the time, most people were obsessed with the authorities. Li Zhi was able to get to the heart of the problem and realized that the profit model is the lifeblood of Internet companies. It's a really remarkable thing.

"Hehe, are you short of money now?" Zhou Shuo asked rhetorically. Then he explained: "Yes, the Internet does seem to lack the means to make money now, but what if the Internet is now a hundredfold larger? When more than half of the Chinese are online, who dares to say that the Internet can't make money at that time? Since this company does not have to worry about the current profitability, it is natural to think more about the future profitability. And the network is such an industry that has great achievements in the future. ”

Li Zhi said "ah", shook his head and said in surprise: "How can there be 600 million people who go online, can computers be popularized to such a point?" ”

Zhou Shuo shook his head and sighed, if he hadn't been reborn from the afterlife, who would dare to believe the scale of China's Internet economy in the future? However, the truth in this will not change, as the so-called "hindsight, God is the same beforehand", he is not so bad that he can't parrot.

"Of course, according to Moore's Law, the number of transistors in integrated circuits doubles every two years. Let's calculate how much the price of computers will be reduced by the year 2000 and what the price will be by 2010. In the same way, with the improvement of chip technology and the reduction of costs, how will the price of mobile phones be reduced, and the technology of mobile phone Internet access is now ripe, and the Internet terminal will no longer be the pattern of personal computer dominance......"

Zhou Shuo started with the cost of the computer, and with the progress of chip technology, the cost of network terminals will be reduced. If these calculations were coming out of someone else's mouth, Li Zhi would just be talking about it. But when these words came out of Zhou Shuo's mouth, they had considerable credibility.

Who is Zhou Shuo? He is the owner of China's most advanced chip production line, the owner of the chip production line, and the owner of the Pan-Han Research Institute, one of the largest electronic technology companies in China......

Such a long list of laurels can make the domestic electronics industry tremble even if it is buckled on the head of an idiot.

Since he said that the number of Internet users in China will be 600 million in 10 years, there will definitely be 600 million. He said that in the future, China will build the world's largest Internet of Things, so it is really possible to form the largest Internet of Things. Every word and thought he says has the ability to be realized, which ensures the credibility of his words.

What's more, Zhou Shuo is not just empty words, every conclusion he draws is really deduced. Based on the decline in computer prices and the rate of China's economic growth, the rate of increase in China's computer ownership can be calculated. Then, by calculating the speed of Internet access and Internet penetration in China, we can derive a timetable for the increase in the variety of Internet services.

For example, the time to cooperate with banks to popularize e-banking, the time when the network can provide real-time video transmission speeds, and the timeline for the various stages of development of online social networking......

Except for Li Zhi, Zhou Shuo has never said these things to anyone. It was also the first time for Li Zhi to know that he had such a thorough view of the Internet economy and such a careful plan.

Among the pillars that make up China's future Internet industry, the instant messaging software must be none other than Liuer IM, and China's copyright is still completely in the hands of Zhou Shuo. The other two pillars turned out to be search engines and e-commerce, listening to his reasonable, well-founded and convincing analysis, Li Zhi also had to seriously believe these descriptions of the future.

Among them, the profit models such as bidding ranking, advertising alliances, and product licensing have opened Li Zhi's eyes and understood what a big market this will be.

And Zhou Shuo is really surprised that he wants to put such an important technology into this company now.

Li Zhi asked worriedly: "Since the search engine is so important, shouldn't it be completely in your own hands, how can you take it out and put it in a joint venture company?" ”

"Your kind of thinking is not the thinking of Internet companies, since Internet companies have the word 'network', it is a network that connects the world. Eating alone, no matter how advanced the technology and how good the model is, the result will still be a loss, or even a failure. ”

Zhou Shuo shook his head and said bitterly: "Our search engine promotion must cooperate with all aspects, and all kinds of capital will come up at that time." It can't be stopped, and it's even more impossible to insist on holding 51% absolute holdings, so who dares to cooperate with you, who will have a sense of security? Just like when I insisted on taking full control of Xinke Computer, would Masayoshi Son dare to cooperate with me without hesitation? ”

"On the contrary, the shares are in the hands of these students of mine, and they have proven to be more reliable. As long as the Pan Han Group does not show any obvious signs of decline, they should continue to trust me. In this way, even if the company has more shareholders and investors in the future, there is no need to worry about getting out of our control. ”

"And our search engine can't just stay in China, the bigger stage is definitely in the United States, in the world. You, a Chinese, are the majority shareholder of absolute control, who dares to put such a deadly field in your hands? Therefore, it is absolutely inevitable that this company will eventually become international, and it is better to prepare as soon as possible. ”

Li Zhi was really convinced at this point, she wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and sighed: "I thought that it would be enough to have capital and technology to do business, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome." ”

She grabbed Zhou Shuo's hand, opened her big eyes and said coquettishly: "Brother Zhou, you have to show us more directions when the time comes, and you can't leave it alone!" ”

"You can rest assured, the search engine is only the first step, this company will be the key to the rise of China's electronics industry, how can I let it go?"

"Would you like to give it a name?"

"Hmm-" Zhou Shuo thought for a moment and said, "It's better to call it 'Rebirth Technology'." (To be continued......)
