Global monopoly of technology

"Boss, when will cloud song be drained through social search in the blue space? For example, it will automatically jump to cloud song search and intercept the traffic of Baidu."

Feng Yi said with expectation that the traffic here is also quite scary. The blue space social network has taken the lead in the real-name social network field. Tengxun’s renren.com has only 15% of the market share now, and the blue space has Over 70%, the Matthew effect of the Internet has become more and more powerful.

To some extent, renren.com can no longer see the rear lights of its opponents, and it can be said that it has basically failed.

Blue Space is no longer benchmarked against renren.com in China, and it is unlikely to be 51 Space, but against QQ. Currently, in the field of Internet social networking, Blue Space and QQ are equally divided. The former is the real-name social overlord, and the latter is the standard QQ. Virtual social overlord.

QQ’s current user registration volume has exceeded 200 million, while the blue space user registration volume is 100 million, but the difference is that a QQ user may have many accounts, although blue space users may also have multiple Account, but the meaning is really small, it is better to play QQ.

In other words, the average commercial value of a single user in Blue Space is much higher than that of a QQ user.

"No, I will never let Blue Space do that. Don't think about doing something that'helps' users make choices. Once you do this, users will have a natural resistance and will hate it."

Luo Sheng resolutely rejected Feng Yi's ideas and added:

"Blue Space is still in the growth stage, so don’t think about it. According to you, it won’t become a social networking site that people say they love, and it will even hate the house and the wu ."

A core member of the project development team at the meeting said: "But boss, why can hao123 do that?"

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "Why? Because hao123 is for novices and basically doesn't understand anything, you can guide these users at this time, but those who play in the blue space are regarded as old networms, and the main force is still young at school. College Students."

Another participant said: "But the problem is that I am more worried. This time we intercepted hao123's search requests such as whiteness, Google, etc. If competitors are retaliatory, they will also intercept blue space searches. Isn't it..."

Luo Sheng didn't wait for him to finish and rushed affirmatively: "This is impossible, unless Baidu Google and their decision makers are caught in the door to do this stupid thing. I can't ask for it. It makes no difference to give Yunge search an assist. ."

At this time, Yu Jun added in agreement, saying: "I also very much agree with Mr. Luo's point of view. Mr. Li would not do this. This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. This is what makes the blue space grow and active. It will be affected a lot, but this kind of fluctuation is also short-term. Instead, it will usher in a low period and then rise against the trend. At the same time, Yunge Search may surpass its whiteness."

"Because the blow to the user experience is too heavy, and Mr. Luo disagrees that it is a reason to sacrifice the user experience of the blue space to attract the cloud song search. The whiteness is also extremely profitable because of the bidding rankings. A big criticism, if you are doing this, it is tantamount to giving users a more sufficient reason to abandon the whiteness and invest in cloud search or Google's embrace."

It's hard to say that blue space is abroad, but the mainland has become a trend. If the number of users is below 10 million, the whiteness can still take the risk.

But if you do this now, you will definitely dig your own grave, unless the search engine market is already dominated by Baidu, but now the domestic search engine market is still in the "Spring and Autumn and Warring States" battle for hegemony.

After a while, Luo Sheng spoke again: "Hao123 navigation should continue to be consolidated, mainly Internet cafes. This offline traffic cannot be ignored. I believe that many people in the industry have already built their own navigation websites in secret, especially if they want to do so. For search engine companies or teams, the navigation website is an indispensable standard, even if it is useless, it must have it. Hao123 occupies the dominant level of strength. The new navigation website wants to open a gap, and Internet cafes are a breakthrough that cannot be ignored ."

There are only more than 30 million Internet-connected machines in the country, but it can create hundreds of millions of Internet users. Internet cafes that have sprung up like mushrooms are one of the core contributors, and hao123 is almost a standard configuration of Internet cafes. It is impossible for competitors to ignore this.

And Luo Sheng is even more aware that there is a close connection between this generation of Internet users and Internet cafes. In other words, the vast majority of this generation of Internet users, including the next generation, have entered the Internet world through Internet cafes. .

Although they are all rushing to play games, even if they play games, they are looking for strategies or something. Search engines are definitely used products.

"I'm in the forefront. Competitors must be uncomfortable now. If we don't want to be uncomfortable, we have to take the initiative. We can't wait for competitors' offline traffic portals to increase by leaps and bounds. Burn." Luo Sheng said firmly.

I thought of going with a competitor. This may be the first time in the history of the domestic Internet to start a money-burning war to compete for offline traffic entrance. A full ten years in advance, now the online traffic is a blue ocean. Who would have nothing to spend wrong money to go? Looking for traffic offline?

But search engines are different, and the current situation is different. Luo Sheng's appearance has changed a lot, and more will change in the future.

It is foreseeable that Internet cafe owners across the country will earn extra windfall. Originally, Internet cafes used hao123 to navigate the website to give users who are not very familiar with the Internet a better experience of surfing the Internet, thereby bringing better business.

"How much money do you plan to use to consolidate the offline traffic entrance?" Yu Jun looked at Luo Sheng, who said: "Let me think about it...a temporary budget of 50 million yuan, it should be able to support about half a year, the investment here is continuous Yes, because Internet cafes across the country will continue to expand."

Feng Yi and the others couldn't help but smashed their tongues. Luo Sheng offered himself an annual salary of less than 200,000 yuan, but he was the unambiguous master of spending money. Investors felt painful when they saw it.

Fortunately, the VCs are not present now, and it will be painful to wait for the audited finance to be delivered to them.

Looking at it this way, Yunge Search is definitely one of the company’s big money-burners. Fortunately, hao123.com can generate millions of revenue per month. With the continuous growth of users across the country, the traffic of hao123 is also The tide will rise and the boat will rise, and it will also bring a surge in flow realization. In another year, hao123 may bring tens of millions of water flows every month.

To a certain extent, the income here can also make up for the huge continuous losses of Yunge Search, and play a lot of hemostatic effects.

Now if Luo Sheng is asked to talk to Li Xinping again, he will definitely not buy hao123 if he sells 30 million, and even 100 million may not be sold.

Luo Sheng estimated that the A round of financing of 600 million yuan, North American expansion George Charles took away 20 million US dollars, the acquisition of hao123 spent 30 million yuan, here decided to spend 50 million, plus the company's operating costs As well as the company’s immediate relocation to Sioux City, this time an office building will be rented as the company’s headquarters.

In less than three months, Luo Sheng spent almost half of the 600 million yuan raised in Series A financing.

This time, Bluestar Technology submitted the fourth financial expenditure list in the past, which will definitely make several big VCs pain and happy. For Luo Sheng, it is definitely the kind that loves and hates.
