Reborn multinational giant

When Fang Zhe met Mr. Li, the boss of Baidu No. 1 in Baidu's VIP lounge on the 7th floor, his heart still thumped twice more.However, after he took two deep breaths, this unsteady state of mind was suppressed. He had heard too many legends of two horses and one Li in his previous life. Fang Zhe met him for the first time and his mood did not fluctuate. impossible.

Today, Fang Zhe’s identity is different from the past. If he shows any excitement, it will not only cost him, but also lose Huizhong’s face.

Although there is still a gap between Huizhong and Baidu, there is already a trend to catch up. I believe that it won’t be long before Fang Zhe and Huizhong will be on par with President Li and Baidu or even surpass them. When the time comes, they will go out to meet him, but It's not just a vice president of Baidu!

"Mr. Fang, welcome!" When Xiang Shaolong and the others led Fang Zhe in, Mr. Li was chatting with one of his subordinates about work. Seeing Fang Zhe entering the door, he stood up and walked to Fang Zhe to shake hands. Welcome.

"Mr. Li, congratulations!" Fang Zhe responded politely. He said congratulations to Baidu's housewarming. According to the domestic tradition, the housewarming is also considered a great event. Huizhong previously gave Baidu an old man for this purpose. Expensive flower baskets.

A happy smile appeared on Mr. Li’s face. This month he was too busy due to the relocation, but no matter how busy he was, he couldn’t suppress the joy that Baidu Building brought him. Now he goes to get off work every day and looks at the office belonging to his own company. The building, where he likes it!

The subordinate who had reported to Mr. Li before saw this scene and quietly left from the side with great eyesight. After Fang Zhe took a few seats, Chen Ting made tea for everyone, and then they sat away with Li Wen. Zhe and the others have some distance to rest on the small sofa.

Among those present were Fang Zhe and Baidu's first and second leaders, as well as Baidu upstart Li Yuan, who was highly appreciated by President Li.

Li Yuan did not evade, but Fang Zhe was a little surprised. According to his current status, no matter how appreciated by President Li, he was not qualified to sit here.

Without waiting for Fang Zhe to think about it, the big boss Mr. Li said:

"What we are talking about today is related to Li Yuan. I will let him listen to it. At the same time, I will also ask him to recognize Fang Zong. I will trouble you to take care of it in the future!"

Mr. Li said this, no matter how he heard it, there is a sense of cultivating successors, but Fang Zhe knew that he should have thought about it. Now Mr. Li has just passed 40 and is in his prime of life. If you want to retire, you must be at least ten. Thing years later.

Fang Zhe glanced at Baidu's second-in-command Xiang Shaolong. He still showed a professional smile. As for what he was thinking, he knew.

Next, the two parties chatted casually for a while, chatting from Baidu Building to the congestion of Xierqi subway station, and Mr. Li, like Fang Zhe, had a headache for employees’ traffic problems. They were both big bosses because of this. The mess of trivial things feels very congenial.

After more than ten minutes, the atmosphere was almost over, and Mr. Li finally brought the topic to business:

"I asked Mr. Fang to come over in person today because I want to talk to you about the mobile Internet!"

Fang Zhe was a little surprised. Hearing these words, does Baidu want to enter the mobile Internet field?

There shouldn't be anything unusual about this thing, but compared to the previous life, this thing has become very weird, because in the previous life, among the three bat giants, the slowest company to transform the mobile Internet is Baidu.

In the previous life, Baidu started to transform the mobile Internet until the end of December. The time was half a year or even more than a year later than Tencent and Ali. For this reason, the anxious Baidu and Mr. Li bought many mobile Internet companies one after another, from Nuomi to 91 Assistants, etc., a lot of mobile Internet companies or products bought with a lot of money are all to make up for the time that Baidu has missed in transforming the mobile Internet.

Unfortunately, if you miss it, you miss it, because Baidu's core business search engine is not very effective on the mobile Internet. After all, Baidu lags behind bat, and gradually falls a few times the gap with Tencent and Ali.

Unexpectedly, at the end of 2009 when the iphone just entered China, Baidu’s President Li actually asked Fang Zhe personally about the mobile Internet. Could it be because of his relationship with Huizhong, even Baidu? Is the development trajectory of Internet giants also affected so much?

"Mr. Li, what do you want to talk about?" Fang Zhe suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked with interest. He wanted to hear whether he and Huizhong were so awesome that even Baidu's development trajectory was changed. .

"We at Baidu are planning to launch our own Baidu browser on the mobile terminal, and hope to get your support from Huizhong and Fang!"

Mr. Li's reasons made Fang Zhe feel a little puzzled. It seems that Baidu was indeed influenced by himself and Huizhong, and he planned to launch the mobile Baidu browser now.

However, what support do they hope to get from themselves and Huizhong?Even if there are very few mobile Internet talents in the domestic market, but with the strength of a large company like Baidu, it is a joke to say that it cannot recruit people!

Without waiting for Fang Zhe’s question, Mr. Li explained: “In fact, we hope that, with the help of Huizhong’s overseas operating experience and tens of millions of users, we can help us promote the Baidu browser overseas in the future!”

"We help you promote browsers overseas?" Ha, if someone said this, Fang Zhe must think he was joking, but the person who said this was Mr. Li, so Fang Zhe had to lean on the sofa. Thinking about it.

Gradually, Fang Zhe’s thoughts became clearer and clearer, and his eyes became brighter and taller. It is really high. It seems that Baidu’s President Li, like Fang Zhe, the big boss of Huizhong, understands Huizhong’s potential better. .

Huizhong has accumulated tens of millions of active users and hundreds of millions of registered users overseas, relying on the happy series of web games and a variety of high-quality mobile games issued overseas. Therefore, Huizhong Mobile Internet Division has made several previous games. Tool products, after the initial product polishing period, have now begun to use Huizhong's resources for joint or even bundled promotion.

For example, "Fruit Games" and "Fruit Conqueror" mobile games under Huizhong all include activities such as downloading happy input method gift packages.

Relying on these incentives and other stimulus methods, the activity was launched for only one week, and the new downloads of Happy Input Method exceeded the 2 million mark. And these huge downloads have made Happy Input Method available in appstore and Androidmarket. The input method applications in the App Store rank among the top few, and the input method ranking higher than it is the input method products launched by two major companies, Google and Microsoft.

Similarly, on the PC side, Fang Zhe does not intend to waste tens of millions of players in the Happy Series games. The PC version of the Happy Input Method is currently undergoing intensive testing. When the product enters a stable period after it goes online, the same routine naturally has to come again. Again!

Now that Mr. Li raised this issue, he obviously valued Huizhong’s profitable routine, so he said that he would cooperate with Huizhong. Compared with Huizhong’s tens of millions of overseas users, Baidu’s overseas The number of users with little stickiness is simply not worth mentioning!
