Robin is confident that they will definitely not be worse than Google at the product level, let alone Yahoo, which is still the first generation of search engines.

In the future, Google surpassed Yahoo, and the essence behind it was the product advantage brought by technological advantages.

In the early days of the Internet, the content of the Internet was limited, and even if I used a better search engine, I could get the same content as I could get it with a normal search engine.

At this time, users will prefer Yahoo, which is mature enough for the overall Internet ecosystem.

When there is more and more content on the Internet, and traditional portals cannot meet the increasingly complex needs, the technical advantages of search engines are fully reflected.

In the era of mobile Internet, there is more content on the Internet, and the content produced by a few APPs is enough to meet the needs of users for a day, and at this time, the search engine is gradually declining.

"I also think it's a good thing to come to Newman, our product is so similar to Google, if we take the traditional way of promotion, our user growth will be very slow."

Robin thinks the same way, that ready-made resources don't have to be used in vain.

Robin went to Zhou Xin and told him what he meant, and Zhou Xin quickly agreed: "No problem."

I can even help you build momentum on Quora, and there are employees other than you who have accounts on Quora, right?

Ask him to ask questions on Quora, for example, how do you rate Baidu's product, and I'll answer below.

You can answer it yourself.

This includes having your colleagues go to major online forums to spread the word.

Search engines need to compete for a long time, and Google is only a little bit faster than you, and as for Yahoo, Yahoo is not a search engine track.

He is more like an integrated Internet service provider. ”

Robin said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Newman. ”

Zhou Xin has always been difficult to understand, Baidu has a natural technical advantage, and it also has a traffic advantage, QQ has traffic, does Baidu have no traffic?

Baidu is completely behind Zhou Xin in the era of mobile Internet, and it is incomprehensible that Baidu has natural technical genes, but there is no output.

Of course, Zhou Xin didn't see Wen Xin's words, if he did, then he could still understand.

When Microsoft launched ChatGPT, Baidu was able to come up with a product that was benchmarked against them, although there was a gap between this product and ChatGPT, but it was okay. Other large manufacturers are still solving the problem of whether there is or not.

"Everyone is Chinese, you don't have to think of me as an investor, you can think of me as a co-founder of Baidu.

As a co-founder, isn't it natural to stand up for Baidu? ”

Zhou Xin didn't know much about Robin, but judging from media reports and some rumors, Robin was a very controlling person, so Zhou Xin didn't think about getting actual control of Baidu.

Investing in Baidu is a purely commercial act, which will push up Baidu's valuation for Baidu's platform, and secondly, it can also add blockage to Google, so that Google cannot develop too smoothly.

"You can prepare a PPT well, and then introduce Baidu's advantages in detail, and I will participate when the time comes, and you can put this news out.

At the same time, I will also help you contact some well-known media on the media side. ”

......

"Have you ever heard of Baidu? They sent us an invitation to attend their launch. ”

"No, what do they do?"

"It's like a company focused on search, kind of like Yahoo."

"There are too many similar companies in Silicon Valley during this time, Yahoo is still ahead, and Google's momentum has been fierce recently." The subtext is that there is no need for such a small company's press conference.

"The investor behind them is Newman, and Newman will also participate in this conference."

"Then let's go and hear about it, there must be something special about the company that Newman invests in."

Yes, in the current Silicon Valley, Zhou Xin's appeal is so amazing.

After Quora came out, Zhou Xin was regarded as another representative of innovation in Silicon Valley.

The legendary experience and the few appearances in front of the media have made Zhou Xin full of topics.

"Welcome to Baidu's press conference, I'm Robin, the founder of Baidu." Robin looked very confident in a blue and white striped polo shirt.

Outwardly, Robin is also the standout of the BAT.

Pony horses are ok too.

"Baidu is a search engine that uses hyperlink analysis technology to help people find ...... more accurately"

After Robin finished speaking, it was Zhou Xin's turn to take the stage, "Hello everyone, it is rare to have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with so many media friends.

Robin and I haven't known each other for a long time, because I've always been interested in the field of search engines, and my Chinese friends recommended Robin to me at that time.

That's what he told me at the time, Robin is the Chinese who knows the most about search engines in the whole of Silicon Valley, and he can even remove the Chinese, he knows the most about search engines.

Later, I went to investigate and found out that he was really right, Robin has a very deep knowledge of search engines.

I've always wanted to invest in companies in the search space, but the technology of other companies doesn't give me a bright feeling, and Robin's technical demo can give me, and that's what I want.

Compared to Baidu, other search engines just stay at the search level, while Baidu can give you the content you want.

It's a very different concept.

For example, if you want to find Newman, other search engines will find the whole Ameriken with more than a million Newmans, and then let you filter which Newman you are looking for.

Baidu will also find out the million Newmans, but it will put me, the most famous Newman, at the forefront.

Make your search more directional.

One thing I would also like to announce is that due to the rapid growth of content on Quora, users have consistently reported that they can't see historical content well.

Baidu will serve as Quora's built-in search engine. ”

Yahoo later chose to have Google provide technical support for their search functionality, and Quora could also opt for Baidu.

"Users can find previous high-quality answers at any time through the search engine."

After Zhou Xin finished speaking, the applause from the audience was obviously much warmer.

Zhou Xin's speech at Baidu's press conference, as well as the subsequent interviews, were quickly published in major magazines in Silicon Valley, and everyone who should know knows it.

Google's Larry Page is offended: "Newman invested in us and Baidu, but he chose to build Baidu and use Baidu as Quora's built-in search engine.

It's not fair to us. ”

Sergei Brin is much calmer: "Newman is only one of our investors, but he is the only investor in Baidu, and the level of support is obviously different.

And there was never a rule that if he invested in one company, he could not invest in another.

I just need to do what we have to do and don't need to pay too much attention to the changes in the outside world. ”

Also irritated by Yahoo was, "How's Yahoo Answer preparing?" ”

"It's ready to go live, and internal testing is no problem."
