Chen Bo went to the Ant Map project team directly under Wang Xiaochuan to understand the situation, although there is relevant data provided by NavInfo, but how to quickly search for the exact location you want on the map is much more complex than text search, and the algorithm is also different.

"The beta version wasn't precise enough, and I tried a few slightly obscure locations, which weren't ideal." Chen Bo said bluntly, "But don't worry, as long as the accuracy rate is increased to more than 80%, you can launch the market, and I will be of great use at the critical moment." ”

"I need servers and higher bandwidth resources." Wang Xiaochuan also put forward his own requirements.

"It's not a problem, you write an application, expand the service unit in Jiangcheng, and I'll give you approval when I go back." Chen Bo said, "The electronic map must adapt to the user, provide convenience, and arrange manpower to connect with the bus and rail transit companies in major cities, and buy the data back first." ”

"Is it too costly? AutoNavi Map is now making money by selling to car manufacturers, what about our profit points? Wang Xiaochuan said worriedly.

"Profitability is not something you should think about, and you don't need to think about it at all now, we need users after the product is upgraded."

Although he needs to come up with new products faster to recover the lost users, he must not take risks to seek speed, so he first came here to see the situation here.

Immediately after that, he went to the University of Posts and Telecommunications, and although the little yellow chicken "Yoyo" developed by Shi Zhiwen performed unsatisfactory in the chat software, it was still welcomed and praised by a lot, and there should still be encouragement.

In addition, after Chen Bo secretly visited several institutions of higher learning in Yanjing, he returned to the headquarters in Pengcheng.

"How's the investigation going?" Chen Bo knocked on the table and asked.

"The Huaxia Search Alliance has a very big picture, and now it is constantly absorbing small and medium-sized websites." Zhou Botao said with a sad face.

"What I'm asking you is why HC is doing this, and who is behind it?" Chen Bo was obviously not satisfied with his unnutritious answer, and couldn't help but raise the decibels: "He is a small company that provides on-site search, what capital does he have, and what ambition does he have to go to the troubled waters of web search?" ”

"This ...... This is still under investigation. ”

"When will the results be available, and will I be able to see them before the Chinese New Year?" Chen Bo said angrily: "What do you do as a vice president?" Can you have a little strategic thinking, the news channels all look at the news, then there is still a fart, what is the difference between it and ordinary employees! ”

"It's my fault this time, and I admit punishment." Zhou Botao said in a low voice.

"Admitting mistakes is not the key, you have to know what to do!" Chen Bo held back the fire in his stomach and leaked it to his head, the information collection of modern enterprises is a very important link, and he actually waited for others to watch the news after they were all done to know that it was not the end of the calf?

China is a base camp that cannot be lost, and there must be no mistakes, if it is other overseas departments that are not perfect at present, it is understandable, but the country has been operating for a long time.

"You go and contact Ground Zero to see if there's any reliable information. I will transfer Su Chenghao back as an information officer, if you have an automatic resignation next time, I will deduct your half-year bonus this time. ”

"I'll get in touch right now." Although the amount of the half-year bonus is definitely not expensive, Zhou Botao's expression did not change, and he immediately did what he said.

Zero Information specializes in business intelligence analysis, and is the leader in this business in China. Compared with large foreign companies, they will have their own intelligence departments to analyze competitors and market information to screen the future market trend.

Su Chenghao's main work has been staring at the direction of e-commerce in Shanghai, whether it is eBay or Dangdang, he notified Chen Bo in advance, and Chen Bo is completely unimpressed by the two giants of Amazon and eBay.

There is no doubt that they have been successful in Europe and the United States, but China is different and has its own unique culture. Naturally, large international companies also have their own pride, that is, they refuse to succumb to localization, and e-commerce is directly facing users and traditional merchants, which has many more difficulties, which is not the same concept as Google's intention to snipe ants through Baidu.

Baidu, which occupies the second largest market share, and Google, which occupies the third place, have joined forces to occupy half of the country, and the local brothers have joined forces with other companies to engage in a Chinese search. The only people left are Ant, Yahoo, and Sogou, and this situation is very similar to the fighting in the United States.

No one is really a little sheep to be slaughtered, but there is good news, during the SARS outbreak, Ant Search took the initiative to cooperate with the Pengcheng City Government to launch a series of online propaganda. opened a special edition to refute rumors, which played a vital role in fighting rumors, so that many netizens could get official news for the first time, and the contribution made by Excellence Mall in stabilizing prices brought a lot of good word of mouth and indirect diversion.

Although other companies have made more big moves, Ant Search's market share has fallen back to only 36%. However, according to the data of the background, the proportion in the Bohai Rim, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta Economic Belt is the largest, and the highest cities can reach 70%, and other searches are more dominant in the central and western regions, which is also inseparable from the fact that Fox live has a relatively large audience among white-collar workers.

The most important thing is that Ant Search's advertising revenue in the first four months alone has reached 150 million yuan, and the net profit is 37 million, which is great good news. Southeast Asia has also achieved a break-even, and it is not a big problem to make a profit of more than 100 million yuan this year, mainly because there were too many places invested last year, laboratory funds, event sponsorship, etc., all of which are pure expenditures.

The emergence of SARS has made many goods uncirculating, giving birth to the growth of Internet users, and more business owners have seen that they can also use the Internet to do business, which is the accident of history. Causal effects of events.

Li Ziqiang and Liu Qing have returned to China from their vacations, and Wang Xiaochuan and Su Chenghao have also rushed from Shanghai to the Pengcheng headquarters, where the backbone elites of the overseas branches gathered.

Chen Bo looked around the conference room with sharp eyes and said directly

"The situation now, as you can see, is very serious. Ant Search from the beginning of its inception, with an innovative attitude to seize the market, is through your unremitting efforts and hard work to achieve the current market position, but we can never lie on the credit book, the rapid development of the Internet will not give you time to sit down and rest. ”

"Let's talk about it first, we have finally made a profit in the domestic business, and Botao and Ziqiang have contributed a lot to this point! According to the company's remuneration system, you will get the corresponding stock option awards. ”

"However, Botao did not do enough, and did not do a good job in collecting information from competitors, which made us very passive, so we were fined the semi-annual bonus. Su Chenghao has set up a chief information officer to serve as a professional team to collect information about opponents and report directly to me. ”

There are rewards and punishments, and no one can enjoy the privileges, otherwise the management will be chaotic, and how can the people below obey.

"Now, what do you think of the current situation?" Chen Bo already has a draft in his heart, but if he says it all, do you want them to use it? A good boss needs to fill in the gaps, not do it himself.

At this time, Zhou Botao turned on the PPT file on the computer and the projector in the conference room and began to preach

"I contacted Zero Information and did a detailed investigation on the background information of the Huaxia Search Alliance. HC was founded in 1992, the main business is electronic product quotation, more like a media company, and later developed into HC International founded HC Network, operating in a B2B model, promoting business information, and evolved into an advertising company. ”

"HC has been in the ranks of software system development since 2000, and officially intervened in the on-site search of small and medium-sized websites last summer, with news search and web search services as a breakthrough. In April this year, HC International received a large capital injection from an offshore company registered in the Seychelles, announced the establishment of Huaxia Search Alliance on May 3, and began to provide ranking services, and is currently preparing to land on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the end of the year. ”

"Seychelles? Running off the rails. Chen Bo said in a low voice, this is an archipelago in Madagasda and east of the Indian Ocean, which can never be found without an electronic map, and it is even more remote than Cayman and Panama, which are offshore company registrations.

"Yes, the registered legal person is called Peter.T."

"It's all offshore companies, so it's definitely not the real identity, if it's Chinese, there are more T surnames. Tang, Tan, Tong, Tu, I can pull a bunch out. Since it's ferocious, let's let them bounce for a few more days, and Yahoo won't sit still. Chen Bo smiled lightly, but his heart was full of question marks, this is the real earth gun for foreign cannon, very mysterious.

"Coming soon to June 1st, followed by the college entrance examination, our operation center plans to plan a series of activities to cultivate the trust of student users." Wang Xiaochuan said at this time.

"Yes, but it has to be influential, you go to Galaxy Entertainment to plan a joint event. In addition, Liu Qing, you are responsible for the establishment of Ant Charity Greater China, we can't just rely on Hollywood, we must be able to meet our requirements in China. ”

Liu Qing nodded, no private charitable foundations are allowed in China, so they have to take a detour to Hong Kong Island for registration, and the procedures are simple.

He doesn't have a good impression of those government-run charities, so it's better to do it himself.

"Our academic alliance program is necessary to be launched, and the project team of Hong Kong Island Chinese University of Science and Technology has now completed all tests, and the accuracy and efficiency are still very high." Li Ziqiang put forward his own ideas, "I have done some communication during this time, and the University of Berkeley has expressed its support for this, and Hong Kong Island University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University, Hong Kong University, National University of Malaysia, Chulalongkorn in Thailand, and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore are all willing to do so. ”

It seems that his skin is not white and tanned, and he has been running around Southeast Asia for a long time and has been fruitful.

"It's hard work, I visited the next few universities in Yanjing, but the only thing I can be sure of is post and telecommunications, plus Jinling, Pengcheng and Tongji, and that's all there is to it in China. But this is enough, you can't become a fat person by eating in one bite, although they are all science and engineering universities, but there are too many schools, and we may not have enough manpower. What about this project? ”

Talent is stretched thin again, which is a headache for him, and everyone has their own things to do.

"I'll come, after all, I can show my face in front of my alma mater, I don't want to miss such a good opportunity!" Li Ziqiang's black face showed two rows of white teeth, and he was about to become an African.
