Chapter 086 [The Internet Industry in the Melee]
Compared with the overseas version, as soon as the domestic version of Bluestar Music is launched, 2.25 million songs can be listened to for free, and the last half a year is the prime time, because there is no music player on the market, like [QQ Music], [Kugou Music], [Kuwo Music] These follow-up projects will take half a year to go online at the earliest, or even longer.
Qiao gang leader tsundere, but domestic entrepreneurs don't care about these, no matter too much, just draw a scoop according to the gourd first, what function does Bluestar Music have to move over, change the skin, change the noun can perfectly avoid legal risks.
However, some functions are not imitation can be imitated, such as Blue Star Music's intelligent recommendation of similar songs according to the user's listening habits, these are all hated high technical content, especially for algorithm requirements, and this depends on the technical strength of engineers.
Therefore, even if the project that follows the trend is launched in a hurry, its user experience is definitely not as good as that of Blue Star Music.
Unless you dig up the engineers of Bluestar Technology, the employees who have entered the Bluestar Technology Company are very popular in the industry, and the IT industry is originally a sunrise industry, and an employee who comes out of Bluestar Technology is rushing to get it in the industry.
Without him, being able to enter this company itself has already completed the screening, and it must be an elite in the industry, just like an engineer who returned from Silicon Valley, which is more sought-after than the employees of Bluestar Technology.
However, generally people with experience in Silicon Valley basically start their own businesses when they return to China, and if they work, they will not be able to return to China, but continue to stay in Silicon Valley, for the simple reason that the annual salary of engineers in Silicon Valley starts at $70,000, which is equivalent to nearly ¥580,000.
The companies that can give this kind of treatment in China can be counted on one hand.
Therefore, the engineers of Bluestar Technology are in high demand, but if they want to dig into Luo Sheng's corner, they have to face a new problem.
First of all, the treatment problem must be at least more on par with Bluestar Technology, and there are really few domestic Internet companies whose treatment can be compared to Bluestar Technology, and it is difficult for men to poach people if the money is not in place.
When the money is in place, it is not a talent but also a talent.
I'm afraid that at present, there is only one company that can give money in place, and that is Huawei Company, but Huawei is a communication equipment manufacturer, not an Internet company.
The money is in place, and what about the working environment?
Not to mention anything else, the food culture of Bluestar Technology has made all employees hungry, not foodies but also foodies, and employees go to other companies to work, which is really not necessarily used to it.
……
In the next six months, Luo Sheng set the goal for the Blue Star Music Project Department to become a necessary software for the installation of major Internet cafes across the country, taking advantage of the fact that there are no other competitors entering the market, frantically seizing the market, and directly allocating 80 million yuan for promotion in one go, not enough to add more, the copyright agreement spent 16.7 billion, and the company now has about 10 billion, and the funds are quite abundant.
Luo Sheng wants to win more than half of the market share at the end of this year, and now the biggest competitor is the whiteness of the Mp3 search, the whiteness now has two core traffic positions, the first is naturally the search engine, followed by the mp3 search, mp3 search for the whiteness to come to a huge traffic income.
If it weren't for Luo Sheng's half-cut beard, there would actually be three major positions in whiteness now, and the third major is the sticker.
But the post bar,Now it has become a related product of Yunge search,Although the whiteness post bar was launched in a hurry,But during this time, the cloud song post bar was popular in China。
Li Mingyuan, as the senior product manager of Yunge Tieba, relied on the close search mode and the operation of the "Supergirl" entertainment event, and in a short period of time, he brought the traffic of Yunge Tieba to a new peak.
As of May, Yunge search has reached the proportion of traffic internally, and the data of Tieba has soared to 22%, and the growth rate of Yunge search is now second only to whiteness, and Yunge Tieba and hao123 have contributed a lot.
Now Baidu has long regarded Yunge search as the number one competitor, it used to be Google, and now Google is ranked behind, and the threat of Yunge search is ranked first.
And the launch of Blue Star Music once again made Baidu tremble suddenly, which is the second largest traffic position MP3 under Baidu.
But it has to be said that the response of Baidu was very fast, and on the second day after Bluestar Technology launched Bluestar Music, Baidu immediately realized the importance of music on the PC side. On the third day, Baidu sent someone to contact Qianqian Music, a domestic music portal, and initiated an acquisition, Bluestar Technology suddenly entered the music field, and Qianqian Music was also panicked.
In such a context, the two sides hit it off, Qianqian Music has no financial advantage, but the whiteness has, and MP3 does a good job, but Bluestar Music is backed by Bluestar Technology, although it has just been born, it is menacing, because Bluestar Technology's products have a strong linkage ability, in the face of this all-round offensive, whiteness does not dare to take it lightly.
This year, the domestic Internet has been unprecedentedly lively, and the aftermath of the bursting of the Internet bubble has not yet dissipated, but the competition is full of gunpowder and more and more intense, which also drives the late start but rapid development of the domestic Internet field.
At present, only Ahri of the "BALT" Big Four is out of the matter, and the other three are fighting extremely hotly, which is simply turning on the melee mode, but Ahri is also pinching and laughing with others.
QQ and Blue Space are fighting, a virtual social network, a real-name social network, a user core is primary and secondary school students, a user core high school students and college students, and at the same time divided into annual groups, but the volume is more than 200 million giants.
QQ, which has sprung up in the blue space, has been losing because of user activity, and the two sides are fiercely competing over whose products users open more, take longer, and have a higher frequency.
With the launch of QQ space, Tengxun finally won back a city, and the revenue of this year's QQ show in the first quarter reached 128 million yuan, allowing Tengxun to find a strong breakthrough in realization, in addition, QQ games also performed eye-catching, surpassing Lianzhong this year, which made Tengxun taste the sweetness and finally found a new business growth point.
Bluestar Technology is still fighting with whiteness, the domestic search engine market is now a melee situation, Yunge, Baidu, Sogou, Soso, Google and other messy search engines, etc., the competition here can be said to be the most fierce position, whiteness is the most uncomfortable, the belly and back are surrounded by enemies.
Ahri didn't stay out of the matter, its Dibao and eBay are hot, as well as Dangdang and the like, and this year's Boss Ma is secretly preparing for the online payment product Alipay.
This year, the domestic Internet has been competing for the current, and there are many heroes, and the fierce competition is rapidly promoting the rapid development of the Internet.
In the middle of this month, another Internet company became the protagonist, on May 13, 2004, Chen Tianqiao rang the bell on the NASDAQ, "Legend" sent Shanda to the NASDAQ, IPO financing amount of 152 million US dollars, market value of nearly 800 million US dollars, becoming the current NASDAQ market value of the highest Huaguo concept network stocks, this company has the presence of SoftBank Capital, with more than 20% of Shanda shares.
In comparison, Bluestar Technology received $325 million in Series B financing, with a valuation of $3.25 billion.
There is no doubt that it will be listed this year, but until now the specific listing time is uncertain, some people speculate that it is next month, that is, in June, another uncertain place is the place of listing, first of all, A shares can definitely be ruled out, because Teng Xun has just completed a financial turnaround, so the suspense lies in the listing in Hong Kong or the United States.
Although Tengxun is currently facing such a strong competitor as Bluestar Technology, the market is not optimistic but optimistic, because Tengxun holds the equity of Bluestar Technology and is the second largest shareholder of Bluestar and the largest external investment shareholder.
The current valuation of Bluestar Technology is definitely above 3.25 billion US dollars, to say that the market is most looking forward to the listing of domestic Internet companies, it is none other than Bluestar Technology, which has only passed the B round of financing, and the valuation is far ahead, Shanda has just gone to the United States to IPO financing has not yet half of the B round of financing of Bluestar Technology.
The market is more optimistic about who is more optimistic.
Many people dare not imagine what kind of grand occasion Bluestar Technology will be once it develops steadily until the day of IPO, but it can be determined that it will be a gluttonous feast in the capital world.
