Chapter 112: A Combat-Oriented Company, the First Battle of the Star Search Wins!
Boss Ma stayed in Luo Jia's company for a long time, he chatted with Luo Jia for two hours, visited the legendary Star Research Institute, and saw many projects under development.
Mr. Ren sighed on the side, "When the Baoshan base was established, Luo Jia's experimental equipment was not as good as our 2012 laboratory and the Academia Sinica, but now, they have surpassed it." ”
Boss Ma nodded lightly, it seems that the legend of Luo Jia is not actually rich and rivals, it should be true.
After all, he provides the members of the tough guy Tiantuan with the highest salary in China, and his investment in scientific research is absolutely astronomical.
Centron Technology has a unique rule, the interest group system.
For example, there are three tech nerds who like old anime from the 80s or even earlier, but the old anime is very poor because of its age.
So, the three of them set up an interest group, claiming to work on a rendering engine to make up for the lack of color and picture delicacy in early anime works.
That's it, Luo Jia actually approved some money for them, and also bought a rendering server, which is currently the most efficient rendering server in the world.
So, these three tech nerds began to study rendering engines in their spare time.
If it were another boss, he would not approve such a strange research project at all.
After all, Xingchen Technology is not an animation company, and rendering will not bring any benefits to the company.
In line with the principle of profit first, employees should work more than cattle, get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, and create more value for the company.
However, Xingchen Technology is completely different, they are not only interested in the group system, but even the working hours are free.
When a comic con is about to start, and a group of employees want to go for two days, the administration department will organize a temporary trip according to the requirements of the employees. If you want to participate, the expense company pays.
Boss Ma also visited the gym of Xingchen Technology, which is currently the largest among all technology companies in China, with four floors.
There are 120 treadmills alone, a full set of top-of-the-line Hummer machines, and the best free force equipment, two standard swimming pools, plus luxury bathrooms and a full set of heating equipment, even in cold weather, the pool will still be very comfortable.
The first-class canteen is open 24 hours a day and is completely free of charge for all employees.
Many chefs are hired from five-star hotels, and there is a professional team of nutritionists who are responsible for providing healthy and nutritious meals to meet the needs of fitness people.
......
On the return trip, Boss Ma and Mr. Ren were sitting in the same car.
Boss Ma said thoughtfully, "Xingchen Technology is stronger than I imagined, Luo Jia's personal charm, coupled with the company's unique cultural atmosphere, makes them particularly capable of fighting, but at the same time, I also discovered their weaknesses." ”
"As you said, they are so upright, all kinds of stupid and stupid tables, chairs and benches, there is no beauty at all, because they are too lazy to go to the canteen to eat, they use drones to transport ice cream and lunch boxes from the canteen."
"This is simply a group of linear thinking warriors, adjectives like sleek, I'm afraid they have never existed in Xingchen Technology, and they don't understand it at all."
"So when there was a war with Google, when Google used you to coerce Luo Jia, Luo Jia and his tough guy Tiantuan chose a hard bar to expand the war again! If Google is not convinced, then beat them until they are convinced! ”
"It's not the thinking of a bunch of warriors, so what can it be?"
"I understand now, Xingchen Technology looks like a technology company on the surface, but in fact, it is a combat company at all! Luo Jia, the leader of the madman regiment, led a group of madman warriors to fight everywhere. ”
Mr. Ren laughed, "Yes, Luo Jia and his tough guy Tiantuan are such a group of people who always move forward and never know that they will not retreat, for their brazen attack and want to help us break the siege by expanding the war, Mr. Lei and I are quite grateful." ”
Boss Ma turned his head to look out the window, "Understood, from now on, we will not interfere in the war between Xingchen Technology and Baidu." ”
"Luo Jia is right, no one can stop the torrent of history, survival of the fittest is the essence of market competition."
"Moreover, I don't want to be an enemy of Xingchen Technology, that would be terrible."
......
In the country, the name of BAT is known to everyone.
Although in recent years, Xinmeida Group, especially ByteDance Group, which owns Toutiao and Douyin, the two major golden applications, has brought a lot of challenges to the former Internet hegemon.
However, their real crisis actually started from the day when Xingchen Technology began to exert its strength.
After Boss Ma returned from Xingchen Technology, he made it clear at the high-level meeting that Ali would not stand in line in this war, and even faintly revealed his preference for Xingchen Technology from his words.
Under the leadership of Alibaba, domestic Internet companies have chosen to treat it coldly, they do not support any party, and they do not publicly express their position.
As a result, in a very short period of time, the war between star search and whiteness search has entered a white-hot stage.
Because domestic enterprises have chosen not to help each other, they are all fighting alone on their own.
On the battlefield in China, none of them have allies, so they can only fight with hard power, technology and propaganda!
Public opinion is clearly on the side of the search for the stars.
However, Baidu Group has a strong capital base, and they have frantically placed advertisements on major platforms to strengthen their publicity offensive.
At the same time, Boss Li finally made up his mind to make a comprehensive rectification of his ranking bidding business, and Putian Medical was completely removed from the search content to provide cleaner and more accurate search content.
However, it was too late.
Netizens who have searched with the stars will never go back.
Because from the beginning, Xingchen Search was not born for the purpose of benchmarking whiteness, and they were the only overlord in the global search engine industry, Google.
Luo Jia used the algorithm and engine prepared to defeat Google to attack whiteness search.
It's called an unequal war.
At the technical level, only Google's troika search technology in this world can compete with Xingchen Search, and all other search engines are not opponents.
In just a few days, the war in China reached its final stage.
361 search, Sogou search, etc., these search engines that are already at the bottom of the market, have announced their withdrawal from the competition.
After all, the opponent is too fierce, this is not a game they can play, and if they continue to play, they will only lose more.
March 10.
A week after the official launch of Xingchen Search, Luo Jia won a milestone market share in the Chinese market.
Market share, up to 80%!
So far, the competition for the dominance of search engines in the Chinese market has ended with a complete victory for Xingchen Search.
The war between Xingchen Technology and Google has just begun, and Baidu is the first to die.
On the same day, Star Search became officially independent.
It became the fifth subsidiary of Xingchen Technology, following Xingchen Optics, Xingchen Electric, Xingchen Display, and Xingchen Chemical.
In fact, Luo Jia also has a star intelligence, which specializes in making robotic arms.
However, due to the mastery of key core technologies, all products of that factory are only supplied to the company, and cannot be regarded as independent operation.
Netizens celebrated, and Xingchen searched for a great success.
But Luo Jia knows very well that the real challenge has just begun.
Their opponent, Google, is not the Chinese search hegemon, they are the hegemon of the world!
The most serious challenge is how to make Xingchen Search profitable as soon as possible, because it is really too expensive to attack in the field of search engines.
Google has six super data centers in North America, three in Asia, three in Europe, and one in South America.
The number of other large and small data centers is even higher.
Google has never disclosed the number of its servers.
But in 2012, Larry Page accidentally slipped out, and the world was surprised to find that the number of Google's servers had reached a sensational two million! The world's largest server owner!
You know, it was 2012, and no one has accurate data on how many servers Google has running today.
Now, Xingchen Technology has completely stopped expanding, and even the important next-generation battery project of the hardware department has been forced to postpone because the software department has to fight a tough battle.
Luo Jia transferred all the funds to the software corps.
37,000 large servers have been purchased and leased worldwide, and the number is growing rapidly.
