Global monopoly of technology

After sorting it out, no one thinks that Luo Sheng spent 30 million to acquire hao123.com as a waste of money. This will definitely allow Yunge to enter the search engine market by more than one or two, giving Yunge search confidence to come from behind. Greatly increased.

As time goes by, the development progress of Yunge Search is constantly advancing, and the development of Tieba is constantly improving, and internal testing has begun.

As for the newly acquired hao123.com, two people were assigned to take charge of the maintenance of this house. It’s not that Luo Sheng spent 30 million to buy it and just ignore it, but it’s really too simple. It doesn’t require many people. How frequent major updates are needed, otherwise it would be hard to justify Li Xinping alone in the four years since it was founded, let alone Li Xinping is also working on the 4399 website at the same time.

Everything went well, and it was no surprise that there was no suspense when Luo Sheng requested it to go online before December.

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

As one of the “BALT” star-rated Internet startups, its every move has attracted the attention of the industry.

The focus of the industry’s attention is that Luo Sheng actually spent a huge amount of 30 million yuan to buy a website with only one person. hao123.com is so crude and simple that anyone can easily copy one. It is still a Yahoo! Under the model, he actually spent 30 million, which seems incredible to many practitioners in the industry.

There was even questioning whether Luo Sheng took the opportunity to transfer funds and cash out illegally.

After all, Luo Sheng is a social networking site. What is the significance of acquiring hao123.com?The key is to spend such a large amount of money.

In the next few days, several major VCs including SoftBank, Goldman Sachs, Venture Capital, and IDG called Luo Sheng and asked about this.

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

This makes investors very temperless.

Yes, then wait, you can only wait.

Investors also know that Luo Sheng has been acting frequently recently, and it can be seen from the external recruitment that he wants to enter the search engine market.

In fact, at this point, investors want to question Luo Sheng again, as a latecomer, what can they use to compete with rivals such as Baidu, Google and Yahoo?

Although the current domestic search engine market is still fighting, what is the advantage of Luo Sheng's new search engine against these old players?

But the investors still chose to shut up, because they knew that even if they asked, Luo Sheng said the same thing.

Before he overturned the car, the investors really had no place to frustrate him. Instead, Luo Sheng told them about the development of Blue Space. The picturesque growth made them seem to have nothing to say except to shut up.

What the outside world didn’t know was that when Luo Sheng spent 30 million to acquire hao123.com, Baidu was panicked internally. Li Yanhong was actually thinking about it. He actually fell in love with hao123.com and already had it. The idea of ​​acquisition.

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. This can only be seen by the internal whiteness data, and the outside world does not know.

In other words, suppose there are currently 10 netizens using Baidu, 3.5 of them entered the Baidu search page through the navigation of the hao123.com website.

This is amazing, and what is even more terrifying is that it is still growing rapidly. If this trend continues, the ratio of 40% will be broken next year.

However, hao123 was bought by Luo Sheng and Hu first. What makes Li Yanhong even more uneasy is that there are signs that Bluestar Technology is going to enter the search engine market.

In other words, will Baidu's navigation links on hao123.com still become the first choice?Or will it be placed in an almost neglected corner?Or if Luo Sheng cut off the whiteness link directly and replaced it with a search engine owned by Bluestar Technology?

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

Finally, the long-awaited news that Bluestar Technology would enter the search engine market was confirmed on November 25.

On this day, Yunge Search was officially launched, along with Yunge Post Bar, and an updated version of hao123.com. The results that Baidu and Google are least willing to see are finally staged.

Don't be too ruthless with Luo Sheng!

Directly and completely cut off the stream, your Google link entry, whiteness link entry, starting from today, don’t even think about getting search requests from the hao123.com website navigation, even if you don’t give a marginal bit, just cut it off.

After the updated hao123.com navigation website, the most conspicuous search box at the top of the page is Yunge Search. The left side of the search box is the logo icon of Yunge Search. A mouse click will jump to the homepage of Yunge Search. The right side of the search box [Confirm search], one click with the mouse will also jump to the homepage of Yunge Search.

The homepage of Yunge Search should not be too concise, and fully demonstrate minimalism.

The most striking thing about the entire page is the search box in the middle. The whiteness confirmation button is on the right side of the search box, while Yunge Search is in the middle below the search box, and the confirmation box is [Search Search]

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

This is also Luo Sheng's suggestion of cloud services, but now there is no concept of cloud computing and cloud services, but now no one has a glimpse of the foreshadowing that Luo Sheng buried in it.

The homepage of Yunge Search takes "simplicity" to its extreme. Even the synchronized online Tieba is not in a prominent position on the page, but in the upper left corner.

Originally, Feng Yi of the project development team wanted to put the Post Bar label next to the cloud song search box.

But Luo Sheng refused.

Had it not been for Feng Yi and Yu Jun's collective insistence, Luo Sheng would even want to remove the tag posted on the main search page.

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

But Luo Sheng still refused.

The search engine is just an entry point, there is no need to be so funny on it. Ten more words mean that the two words "cloud song" on the page will appear in both the slogan and the logo icon.

This made Luo Sheng intolerable.

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

This is the user experience.

As a result, Yunge Search has hardly changed in the next ten years, because it has been simplified to the extreme since it was launched, but Yunge Search will update its version every year.

Only the changes in the size, spacing, angle, color and font of the five letters and two Chinese characters of "YunGe YunGe" have changed.

The comparison between cloud search and the current whiteness of the domestic market share is more than 45%, and that of Google or other search engines, which has a market share of more than 20%, has the extreme simplicity of its pages.

For Google search, the latter’s homepage also has a function bar, including [Webpage], [Picture], [Dictionary] and [News] and so on.

Search users are very clear about the purpose of using search engines. You don't need you to promote them. They only need to bring users a simple and comfortable page. Everything is OK. If the user needs it, it can be solved by navigating the website.

Obviously, Google later learned that this was a superfluous act, so subsequent updated versions are becoming more and more on the path of minimalism like cloud search.

But the key lies in the indexing technology and the number of web pages included. As of this year, there are about 380,000 CN domain names registered in China and about 570,000 web sites. The number of global domain name registrations has exceeded 60 million this year, a growth rate. 16%, reaching a record high.

Although Yunge Search is dominated by Feng Yi and Yu Jun, Luo Sheng is actually actively contributing his own development technology behind the scenes. The fluency and indexing technology of Yunge Search can directly target Google and its whiteness is completely different when it is launched. It's imaginary, it's even worse.

Without Luo Sheng, even if the development team of Yunge Search was expanded three times on the original basis, it would not be possible to successfully go online in just over 50 days.

Yunge Search mainly focuses on the Chinese search engine, so Luo Sheng actually has only one competitor in his eyes-Baidu, at most, add a Google search in the Greater China market. Other search engines are listed as other options. , Can even be ignored.
