Chapter 057 [The industry doubts and whiteness are panicked (three more votes)]

After some combing, no one thinks that Luo Sheng's 30 million acquisition of hao123.com is a waste of money, which can definitely make Yunge enter the search engine market more than one or two steps, so that Yunge's confidence in catching up after search has greatly increased.

Time passes day by day, the development progress of Yunge search continues to advance, the development of Tieba is also constantly improving, and internal testing has begun.

And the hao123.com that has just been acquired, it is not that Luo Sheng spent 30 million yuan to buy it back and didn't care, but it is indeed too simple, there are not many people at all, and there is no need for frequent major updates, otherwise it will be impossible to say that Li Xinping is only taking care of it alone for almost four years, not to mention that Li Xinping is also messing with the 4399 website at the same time.

Everything went smoothly, and it was launched before December as required by Luo Sheng, and there was no suspense if nothing happened.

During this period, the news of the change of ownership of the hao123.com spread in the industry, and it has been reported in the industry through media reports, and it was soon determined that it was the lightning rising Bluestar Technology that acquired the navigation website.

As one of the star Internet startups of today's "BALT", its every move has attracted much attention in the industry.

The focus of the industry is that Luo Sheng actually spent a huge amount of money of 30 million to buy a website with only one person, and the hao123.com is so simple and simple that anyone can easily copy one, or a Yahoo to play the rest of the model, he actually spent 30 million, which feels incredible in the eyes of many practitioners in the industry.

There were even doubts about whether Luo Sheng took the opportunity to transfer funds and illegally cash out.

After all, Luo Sheng is a social networking site, so what's the point of acquiring hao123.com? The point is to spend so much money on it.

In the following days, SoftBank, Goldman Sachs, venture capital, IDG and other major VCs called Luo Sheng and asked about this matter.

And Luo Sheng pushed back all the investors in one sentence: don't ask, don't think about it, don't doubt it, if you wait for the company's financial expenditure list to be sent for audit, then ask and think about it again.

This makes investors very angry.

Well, then wait, just wait.

Investors also know that Luo Sheng has made frequent moves recently, and he can see the clues from external recruitment, which is to enter the search engine market.

In fact, at this point, investors want to ask Luo Sheng, as a latecomer, what to use to compete with competitors such as Baidu, Google and Yahoo?

Although the current domestic search engine market is still in a fighting situation, what are the advantages of Luo Sheng's new search engine against these old players?

But the investors still chose to keep their mouths shut, because they knew that even if they asked, Luo Sheng would still be the same when he replied to him.

Before he overturned, the investors really had no place to scold him, but Luo Sheng told them about the development of the blue space, and the picturesque growth made them seem to have nothing to say except to shut up.

What the outside world doesn't know is that when Luo Sheng spent 30 million to acquire hao123.com, Baidu was panicked internally, Li Yanhong was actually thinking, he actually took a fancy to hao123.com, and already had the idea of acquiring it.

The reason is very simple, by October this year, hao123's search requests accounted for more than 35% of the whiteness traffic, and it is still growing rapidly, which can only be seen by the internal data of whiteness, and the outside world does not know.

In other words, let's say that there are 10 Internet users who use Baidu, and 3.5 of them enter the Baidu search page by navigating the hao123.com website.

This is amazing, and what is even more terrifying is that it is still growing rapidly, and if this trend continues, it will be able to break 40% next year.

And hao123 is now bought by Luo Sheng, and what makes Li Yanhong even more uneasy is that all kinds of signs indicate that Bluestar Technology is going to enter the search engine market.

In other words, won't whiteness be the first choice for navigation links in hao123.com? Or will it be relegated to an almost neglected corner? Or if Luo Sheng is ruthless, he will directly cut off the whiteness link and switch to the search engine under Bluestar Technology?

If the worst happens, it means that more than 35% of the search requests will be intercepted in an instant, and these traffic will be intercepted when it is transferred to the search engines under Bluestar Technology, including the Google search engine.

Finally, the news that Bluestar Technology, which has been rumored on the Internet in the industry for a long time, to enter the search engine market was confirmed on November 25.

On this day, Yunge search was officially launched, and there was also a cloud song post bar at the same time, as well as the hao123.com of ushering in an updated version, and the results that Baidu and Google were most unwilling to see were staged after all.

Luo Sheng's move should not be too ruthless!

Directly and completely intercept the traffic, your Google's link entrance, whiteness of the link entrance, from today onwards, don't even want to get search requests from hao123.com website navigation, don't even give a marginal bit, just cut it directly.

After the update, hao123.com navigation website,The most conspicuous search box at the top of the web page is Yunge search,The left side of the search box is the logo icon of Yunsong search,Mouse click to jump to the home page of cloud song search,[Confirm search] on the right side of the search box,Click with the mouse will also jump to the home page of cloud song search。

And the homepage of Yunge search should not be too concise, which fully shows minimalism.

The most eye-catching thing on the whole page is the search box in the middle, the confirmation key of whiteness is on the right side of the search box, and the cloud song search is in the middle of the lower part of the search box, and the confirmation box is [Search/Search]

And above the search box is the logo icon of Yunge search - [Yunge / YunGe], which is also a bilingual icon, all in a cloud.

This is also Luo Sheng's hint at cloud services, but now there is no concept of cloud computing and cloud services, but now no one has peeked into the foreshadowing that Luo Sheng has planted in it.

The homepage of Yunge search has taken "minimalism" to the extreme, and even the post bar that is launched simultaneously is not in a conspicuous position on the page, but in the upper left corner.

Originally, Feng Yi of the project development team wanted to put the tag next to the Yunge search box and put the sticker tag there.

But Luo Sheng refused.

If it weren't for Feng Yi and Yu Jun's collective insistence, Luo Sheng would even want to remove the tag of Tieba from the main search page.

Well, Feng Yi and the others want to put the slogan of Yunge search "The world is very complicated, Yunge understands you better" under the LOGO icon.

But Luo Sheng still refused.

The search engine is just an entrance, there is no need to make a lot of fancy things on it, ten more words means that the two words "cloud song" on the page will appear in the slogan and logo icon at the same time.

This made Luo Sheng unbearable.

In the end, the simplicity is extreme, open the search page, comfortable!

That's the user experience.

So much so that Yunge search has hardly changed in the next ten years, because it has been simple to the extreme since it was launched, but Yunge search will update the version every year.

The only changes are the size, spacing, angle, color, and font of the five letters and two Chinese characters of "YunGe".

Yunge search is now more than 45% of the domestic market share of whiteness, and more than 20% of Google or other search engines, its page simplicity has reached the extreme.

Compared with Google Search, the latter's homepage also has a function bar at the top of the homepage, including [webpage], [image], [dictionary], [news], etc.

The search user is very clear about the purpose of using a search engine, and does not need you to sell for him, but only needs to bring a concise and comfortable page to the user, everything is OK, if the user needs it, it can be solved by navigating the website.

Obviously, Google later knew that this was all redundant, so the subsequent updated version is also more and more on the road of minimalism like Yunge Search.

As of this year, there are about 380,000 CN domain names registered in China and about 570,000 web sites, while the number of global domain name registrations has exceeded 60 million this year, with a growth rate of 16%, reaching a record high.

Although Yunge search is led by Feng Yi and Yu Jun, Luo Sheng is actually actively contributing his own development technology behind the scenes, and the fluency and indexing technology of Yunge search can be directly benchmarked against Google as soon as it is launched, and the whiteness is completely true, or even surpassed.

Without Luo Sheng, even if the development team of Yunge Search tripled on the original basis, it would not have been possible to successfully launch in just over 50 days.

Yunge search is mainly a Chinese search engine, so Luo Sheng actually has only one competitor in his eyes - whiteness, at most plus a Google search in the Greater China market, other search engines, listed as other options, can even be ignored.
