Chapter 894 - Search Engine
"The second thing, I personally hope that you can enter the field of Internet search, cooperate with the domestic whiteness search engine, and develop together against Google, the world's largest Internet search company. As one more point, this is my personal opinion, and as for whether to implement it, it's up to you to decide. ā
Zhu Shuguang's request made Yang Yun stunned, he really didn't expect that Zhu Shuguang would make this request, which was completely beyond his imagination, and this request seemed to mean something, and he smelled a little special.
"That...... Eh, Mr. Zhu, why do you want me to do this? Actually, I'm not very familiar with search engine technology......"
Yang Yun didn't dare to answer lightly, he had a very stubborn idea, that is, he would never touch an industry that he didn't know about, which he had been trying to do since he founded Longteng Entertainment Game Company, his biggest advantage was the experience after rebirth, it was less than ten years since now, and he couldn't be the hegemon of the whole industry.
Longteng's main business is game system, because he knows some things about game system, he was an editor of a game magazine before he was reborn, and he is a gamer for many years, graduated from computer science, and understands some Internet applications and technologies, so he chose the game industry.
In the animation peripheral industry, he spent a lot of money to buy Studio Ghibli, let his woman take charge of the CLAMP comic club empire, buy the copyright of Jin Yong's martial arts game, support Huang Yi, fund the World Publishing House, cooperate with Tsinghua University Press, and form an alliance with the American toy dealer Parker Brothers. Never did it yourself.
In the computer hardware industry, Loongson CPU was relocated from the Sega Hardware R&D Center in Japan. Senior designers poached from AMD, experts invited from Motorola. From the entire team of the chip company in Taipei Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, he dug into the wall and then invested billions of dollars in research and development every year, and used the advantage of money to smash it out, while he himself desperately developed games to make money to maintain the development of Loongson.
As for other computer hardware, he didn't think about making money on peripherals such as keyboard and mouse, hard disk memory, GPU graphics card technology, which he bought Nvidia by force, and the smartphone industry wanted to borrow Ericsson to help. The operating system industry relies on the acquisition of Apple, and these industries that he is not familiar with are basically involved in the acquisition method.
In terms of software, in addition to games, he did not participate in any WORD, PPT, financial office software, and video playback software. made an official online shopping mall for Longteng, but it was full of games and peripheral goods, which was still 108,000 miles away from the treasure network that included everything, and he couldn't play e-commerce. I have to ask professionals like Masayoshi Son and Ma Yun.
In the face of Yang Yun's question, Zhu Shuguang had already expected it, and he explained: "That is, it starts with Microsoft's withdrawal from the video game market." There is a 'Yang Yun Propaganda' in China, you should know, right? ā
looked at the smile on Zhu Shuguang's face. Yang Yun blushed: "Hehe, those are all nonsense and eye-catching remarks......
Zhu Shuguang laughed: "How can this be a fabrication? Do you think that those experts and scholars raised by the General Office all eat white rice? The 70's was the era of the international business machine. The 90s was the era of Microsoft, but in the 21st century, at least the first ten years should be the era of Longteng Entertainment Game Company, and that's how Yang Yun preached the wind, right? ā
"Hehe, you really praise me so much, everyone is so familiar, it's not good to praise me like this, I will definitely not blush......" Yang Yun rubbed his hands, and after learning that this remark actually came from Zhu Shuguang's think tank, his heart was really more comfortable than eating ginseng fruit.
"Do you think this conclusion is correct? Is the 21st century really the age of dragons? ā
Zhu Shuguang slowly put away his smile: "IBM was pulled down by Microsoft after leading for 20 years, and Microsoft was replaced by you after ten years of glory, so next, how many years does Longteng Entertainment Game Company want to dominate the IT industry?" Five years? Or ten years? Or twenty years? This conclusion did not come out of our country, the original words were made by a foreigner, and he also added a ten-year period to you. ā
Yang Yun sighed in his heart, he thought of the search engine that Zhu Shuguang said today, the trend of "search engine" that is blowing in the world, and then thought of the huge scale of Google's hundreds of billions of dollars in assets ten years later, and asked a little nervously: "Could it be that he is saying that Longteng will be replaced by Google soon?" ā
Zhu Shuguang snorted: "It's good that you have self-knowledge!" ā
Yang Yun was speechless, he finally understood what Zhu Shuguang's warning meant.
In real history, IBM lost to Microsoft, and Microsoft replaced them with Google, which is the law of the market, the times change, things are wrong, and anything can happen.
Bill Gates also retired bravely at his highest peak, he gave up the throne of the world's richest man after achieving the peak of his life, and the throne of the largest company in terms of market value was also handed over to Google, and later the honor of the world's largest company by market value was won by Apple, Google and Apple took turns to lead, but everyone agreed that Google in the Internet era is indeed likely to lead the world's IT industry.
Now history has changed, and a dragon Teng was added in the middle, shortening Microsoft's hegemony by several years, and at the same time squeezing Google's growth space, and forcing the voice of Chinese in the world IT industry from 2000 until Microsoft was forced to lose.
According to the logic in Zhu Shuguang's words, Long Teng will also be replaced by others, will Long Teng really wither after a short period of glory for ten years?
In the second half of 1998, when Google had just established a private company and was still developing Google Engine in the real room, he asked Yang Zhan to take professional lawyers and risk managers to buy 60% of Google's shares for $2 million.
For so many years, Longteng has been ignoring Google, leaving it to develop, Google wants money to give money, there are no resources, all the company's decision-making and operation are composed of the original team, even Google took over the Stanford real room project, introduced a professional Internet management team, went public in 2004, financing, dilution of shares, Yang Zhan's venture capital fund has not objected.
At the time of Google's IPO, the management obtained Google's management power through the AB share dual voting rights structure of the United States, and the 60% of Longteng's rights can only be dividends, without corresponding voting rights, 80% of Google's board of directors are the original team, and Yang Zhan's venture capital fund only got 20% of the seats on the board of directors, so he went with the flow, and was even willing to accept the decision to dilute the equity to 55%, and it was very pleasant to work with Google's original team.
The low-key majority shareholder of Google, which is what Americans say about Google, has been on the market for less than a year, and Google has already raised more than $2 billion in funding, and they even plan to enter social apps, such as buying a stake in AOL, investing in plans like You-Tu-be.
Yang Yun decided not to tell the truth, he wanted to know what Zhu Shuguang really thought.
He said: "I know, Baidu is now busy going to the NASDAQ listing in the United States, and you hope that Longteng will also join the search engine industry and unite with Baidu to fight Google." Then you might as well help me pull the strings, buy the whiteness first, and I'll travel lightly and fight directly with Google. ā
Zhu Shuguang shook his head: "This construction has been rejected, mainly because of your own reasons." After Microsoft's temporary withdrawal, you get rid of your biggest competitor, but your appearance is worrying, it seems that you are the kind of person who is more stressed, the more capable you are, and once you lose competition and confrontation, you may become careless. ā
Not again......
Yang Yun twisted around his head, this is an unsolvable problem! How does he explain it? People think like this, he can't change other people's opinions of him, he simply keeps his mouth shut and doesn't explain, he does it to others with practical actions.
"Well, since everyone wants me to compete, then competition is competition, it doesn't matter! But can whiteness compete with us in a healthy way? The relationship behind them, the forces, the technology, and their marketing methods, these are not handled well, it is a protracted war, every day while scolding others, they are still doing tricky things in private, I believe that Baidu can do this kind of thing! ā
Yang Yun complained disdainfully, and did not forget to add: "And now, even if Baidu is successfully listed, can its market value exceed 1 billion US dollars?" Can this small scale compete with us? I'm not afraid to say big things and flash my tongue, I spend more than $1 billion a year on the research and development of the game department alone, I add a search function to the LongChat software, which can instantly have hundreds of millions of users around the world, and the whiteness of this little arm and leg is not enough to see! ā
He still hasn't said a lot, Google is his, and he's still fighting with Google! His only competitor on the Chinese search engine is Baidu!
Yang Yun said the truth, Zhu Shuguang couldn't cry or laugh, but he said a little slyly: "So I want to ask for your opinion." I build yƬ you set up a separate company that has nothing to do with Longteng, only do search engines, choose state-owned shares to participate in shares, and eventually list on the A-share market, become an important enterprise that affects China's economy, and can announce the relationship with Longteng when necessary. ā
Yang Yun's mouth was the boss, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Is this Zhu Shuguang? This is Mr. Zhu, whom hundreds of millions of people worship? How black must this be to come up with such a poisonous plan!
Yang Yun wanted to say something at this time: "My admiration for you is like the water of the Yellow River, and you have decided that Baidu will definitely be played to death by us!" (To be continued......)
