Reborn multinational giant

"At present, the volume of the Zhongle platform is already very large. If it is separated, it will be more convenient to manage and its future business development. Moreover, Zhongle has a very deep cooperative relationship with Baidu. Now the web game industry is developing so rapidly. We at Baidu also intend to enter the field of web games. If we can directly use the Zhongle platform as the basis, it will naturally be the best!"

Mr. Li said these words naked, and he did not hide his ambition to share the big cake of Zhongle Platform.

Fang Zhe's face was calm, and it was uncomfortable to put someone else's hand on his neck. If Zhongle was not so dependent on Baidu's traffic, Mr. Li would not say these blatantly.

"President Li, how much do you know about the game industry?" Fang Zhe asked rhetorically.

"Not much, but the advertising revenue that your company contributes to us is quite a lot!" Mr. Li replied. Another meaning of this is, anyway, I know that I am very profitable and rely heavily on traffic, otherwise why would you guys smash? So much advertising fee.

Fang Zhe smiled on his face and said, “In fact, our competitor, 51wan, has a lot of traffic to the advertising alliance, but you have seen the benefits. If Baidu wants to make games on its own, we don’t mind much. A competitor!"

"But Mr. Fang, a half of the traffic on your company's Zhongle platform comes from our Baidu!" Xiang Shaolong, who has not spoken, suddenly said something, which seems to be explaining a fact, but Fang Zhe I heard that this was a bit threatening.

Fortunately, I just helped them promote the Baidu browser so neatly, but in the face of interest, these two Baidu's first and second leaders have the same temper. No wonder that Baidu's past life has become worse and worse. It seems that Huizhong’s cooperation with Baidu, Those who deserve to be slaughtered have to be slaughtered. What kind of nonsense, such as moving, can only be told to their own people.

"Xiang Zong is interested in studying the web game industry. I am actually looking forward to Baidu's own game making!"

Fang Zhe smiled at him. In the past, Baidu didn't have its own Baidu game center, but the development situation can only be said to be Liu Adou who can't afford it.

Even with the huge traffic provided by Baidu, I have never heard of any lucrative games launched by Baidu Game Center, especially Baidu's mobile game business, and finally it was mixed to the point where it had to sell itself. The difference is evident.

There are many reasons why Baidu games could not be made in the previous life. In the first place, it is natural that Mr. Li did not pay attention to it. Don’t look at what Mr. Li’s eyes on the public music platform say that Baidu is also going to be a game, but his heart has always been They don't really value the gaming business.

First of all, he himself basically doesn’t play games, and he doesn’t know much about the game industry. Just like Ali has always said that he doesn’t make games, but he didn’t make a big difference in games later, Mr. Ma doesn’t pay much attention to the game business. There is still some resistance.

Ma always felt that gaming was not a good business because his son was addicted to games, so even if Ali had a gaming business later, the gaming business was only the marginal business of the entire Ali system, and Baidu was the same. In contrast, Baidu did not do it. The capable players of the game, the internal system is not suitable for the game, the corruption is serious, etc., even if it is not a big problem.

Xiang Shaolong laughed twice. Actually, just as Fang Zhe thought, he and Mr. Li raised this matter today because they are only looking at the profits of the Zhongle platform, and to what extent Baidu’s own game business can do it. It depends on Mr. Li's determination.

"I heard that Baidu is preparing for a video website recently?" Fang Zhe suddenly asked lukewarm.

Mr. Li and Xiang Shaolong looked at each other, frowned slightly, and asked: "Who did you hear? Nothing!"

"Really? Is President Li interested in cooperating with Huizhong to build a separate video site?" Fang Zhe asked with interest, pretending to be, then pretending to be, if I remember correctly, Baidu’s iQiyi, It will be online in January next year. I see when you plan to install it.

"If you are interested in Mr. Fang, you can try to build a video website. We at Baidu have no plans in this regard for the time being!"

When Mr. Li started telling lies, his face was not red and heartbeat, but his heart was carefully thinking about who had leaked the news. The video website project called "Qiyi" was a key secret project that Baidu had just passed some time ago.

According to the plan, Baidu will set up a wholly-owned subsidiary to take charge of this project in January next year, and then Baidu will not announce the news to the outside world. But now, where did Fang Zhe get the news? Is there a ghost in Huizhong?

At least the top executives who participated in the meeting have joined Baidu for more than three years, which is much longer than Huizhong’s establishment. Unless Fang Zhe spends a lot of money to buy it, it is impossible for high-level officials to leak such secret information, but if there is any If the executives are bought by Huizhong, what is the point of Huizhong buying the executives of Baidu?

Huizhong’s current business does not directly compete with Baidu. Even if they are worried that Baidu is stuck with the traffic of the Zhongle platform, it cannot be changed by one or two executives.

Moreover, Baidu really wants to have Huizhong’s inner ghost. Fang Zhe can’t say this stupidly now. First of all, it is possible to expose their insiders. If Baidu builds a video website, what does it have to do with Huizhong? Therefore, President Li finally judged that this was just Fang Zhe cheating him!

Seeing Mr. Li’s constant restraint and changing expressions, Fang Zhe’s heart was beautifully relieved, your sister, because I’m so good to Baidu, you are so ungrateful, then okay, let’s not talk about business matters, you guys It makes me feel bad, and I have to add a bit of blockage to Baidu. Fang Zhe feels that he has a more and more chic and easy-going personality, or a personality that will be rewarded.

"I am also shocked by Mr. Xiang's words just now. After all, nearly half of the traffic on our Zhongle platform comes from your Baidu. I don't even feel comfortable sleeping.

So I also plan to start a video website. I heard that video traffic accounts for more than half of the Internet traffic. I think it’s not much difference in Baidu, right?"

When Fang Zhe said this, Mr. Li and Xiang Shaolong’s eyelids jumped fiercely. Mad, it seems that this young boss is really a master of grudges, just because what he said just now is a little bit In the meaning of a threat, this guy is now directly opposing the general.

The reason why Baidu has set up a separate video website is to integrate many high-quality TV, movies and other video resources. Indeed, as Fang Zhe said, video traffic occupies more than half of the Internet and Baidu’s traffic, and there is a growing trend. If Huizhong really builds a video site, Baidu's traffic, even if half of it is not robbed, will still rob a half.

In this age when traffic is king, whoever has control of traffic will have sufficient opportunities to monetize. Otherwise, Zhongle, the top-ranked web game platform in the web game industry, will not be affected by Baidu, the largest traffic user on the entire network. Threat.
