Global monopoly of technology

For Google search, Luo Sheng doesn't have to worry at all. Peppa has to arrogantly maintain the so-called core philosophy, does not respect the laws and cultures of other countries, and sooner or later exit the Greater China market.

And Yunge Search conducts automatic review and filtering and monitoring of content, and actively cooperates with the GFWed system. The portal IP that is clearly prohibited by the state will never be parsed by Yunge search engine. Simply put, it cannot be opened directly, but it can also be accessed scientifically. , But this has nothing to do with Yunge Search.

With the launch of Yunge's search engine, hao123.com also ushered in a new version. The outside world finally realized that Luo Sheng had spent 30 million to acquire this navigation website, and it seemed to understand its value in hindsight. .

At this time, people in the industry realized the value of the navigation website.

However, it has been four years since its establishment. Hao123.com, which ranks among the best in the country in terms of traffic, has now become Luo Sheng’s pocket. Yunge search suddenly turned out. Hao123.com was originally connected to search engines such as Google and Baidu. All search requests were intercepted by Luo Sheng, and the traffic was redirected to Yunge Search.

...

Baidu headquarters, meeting room.

"Luo Sheng acquired the hao123 navigation website and cut off the white navigation links, which directly caused the search request to drop by more than 30%. We must launch our own navigation website as soon as possible."

After an executive at the meeting gave a speech, everyone else nodded in agreement. No one thought that the hao123 navigation website had such a great power. In fact, everyone knew that building a brand new navigation website is simple and has access to traffic. It's not simple.

But there is no better way. A navigation website must be established. This is no way. Is it really necessary to give up all the new Internet users to the hao123 website?

At this time, another executive spoke: "Since Luo Sheng has cut off the Baidu link and Yunge Search is online, we have already competed directly with Bluestar Technology, and we can't be soft. It is recommended to block the Baidu search. Drop BlueSpace blue space B community B community BS equal to the relevant search terms and links, or jump directly to blue space competitors, such as 51 or Renren, we also burn the fire to Luo Sheng’s backyard Still make a profit..."

Hearing this, Li Yanhong stopped on the spot, saying: "This is equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and losing two thousand. It is stupid. The main force of Internet users in the country now has almost a blue space social account. It is too radical. Search users are increasingly disgusted with white search. Eventually these users will turn to the embrace of Yunge Search. Wouldn't they shoot themselves in the foot?"

Everyone was stunned for an instant, and the executive who made the suggestion didn't say anything anymore, indeed, it was too stupid to do so.

"Have you used Yunge to search?"

After hearing Li Yanhong’s question, everyone nodded unanimously. An executive solemnly said: “The indexing technology of cloud search is very powerful, and it is not much weaker than ours and Google’s products. From the experience point of view, from the user’s perspective Look, the homepage of Yunge Search is concise to the extreme, and the index results are all based on bidding rankings. Advertisers may prefer whiteness, but users...I think they will prefer Yunge Search."

The management at the meeting all know that Baidu's bidding ranking is highly controversial, and now there is a cloud search that is clearer than Google, and the indexing technology is also quite strong. This kind of opponent who takes user experience as the core benchmark is very afraid of Baidu. Yes, because they know their own advantages and disadvantages and have strong liquidity capabilities, but the overdraft is in the future. If it is occupying a market monopoly, it is another matter.

But in the current domestic search engine market, although Whiteness already has a market share of more than 48%, all parties are striving for hegemony, and it is hard to say who can stand out in the end.

Although Yunge Search has just been born, although it is a latecomer, it has a high starting point, especially after Luo Sheng acquired the hao123 navigation website, to attract traffic for Yunge Search. Most new users who are new to the Internet are first contacted with search. When it comes to engines, it is no longer a white search, but a cloud song search.

Even if half of these users will eventually be converted into cloud song search users, that is also a very amazing volume.

Another executive who attended the meeting said: “As a result, Yunge Search will inevitably exchange user experience effects at the expense of operating losses. How long can the funds last? And if I’m not wrong, Blue Space has so far exceeded 100 million users. , I’m still doing image sharing. The bandwidth cost is scary, but I haven’t accepted any advertising business yet. Obviously, I’m not ready to monetize the traffic. It can be said that Bluestar Technology has been operating at a loss since its establishment. Operations."

"I don't know what Luo Sheng has done to those VCs. He yelled at the capital circle. So many venture capitals are vying to give him money..." Another participant couldn't help but complain. After a while, thinking about it makes me very angry, and those who have lost their investment in order to attract a group of startups are even more angry.

It really is the rhythm of people's popularity.

Don't those VCs worry about throwing so much money in, they will be in trouble?

Tengxun invested $120,000 in the angel round stage, $9.3 million in the pre-A round, and $72 million in the A round. The amount of financing is exaggerated every time. What is even more incredible is that three rounds of financing were carried out in about ten months. , And there is no profit yet.

Luo Sheng gave them the feeling that these VCs are all his relatives, no, they are closer than relatives.

Industry insiders and entrepreneurs are even more envious and hateful about this, not only because Luo Sheng frantically spends investor money constantly, the key is that the investors are SoftBank, Venture Capital, Goldman Sachs, IDG.

They are all well-known investment institutions in the industry. Their investment in Luo Sheng is equivalent to endorsing Bluestar Technology, which means that more people will participate in subsequent financing.

In other words, Luo Sheng thinks that financing will become more and more smooth.

It was a smooth step.

Li Yanhong in the conference room thought about it, and immediately decided: “First, set up the'Baidu Post Bar' project as soon as possible. The navigation website should also be put on the agenda, and there is another offline promotion issue. Now Internet cafes all over the country default to It’s the hao123 navigation website. As soon as the Baidu navigation website comes out, the competition for offline Internet cafes is very important."

The executives at the meeting said: "Mr. Li, this expenditure will be huge."

Li Yanhong sighed: "This is the key to the rapid rollout of the Baidu navigation website. Internet cafes, a traffic area, must not be ignored."

...

Three days later, Bluestar Technology Corporation, a development meeting.

"It has been three days since the launch of Yunge Search, and the number of search requests has reached 6.85% of the whiteness, far exceeding expectations." Feng Yi is particularly happy. This result is definitely a surprise to the industry for the search engine that has just launched.

The accurate index of Yunge Search itself is big on the one hand, but everyone at the meeting knows that this is the most important thing with Luo Sheng's acquisition of hao123 navigation and use of it to attract traffic. Otherwise, 2% would be grateful.

Since the birth of Google search, the "entry" of the Internet world has been transformed from navigation and portal sites to search engines. Foreign countries have almost completed this step. Therefore, Luo Sheng never thought of defeating Google in overseas markets, but The mainland search engine market is different.

The biggest significance of the hao123 navigation website is to gradually turn domestic users who have just come into contact with the Internet world from a navigation website to a cloud song search.
