Global Monopoly of Technology

For Google search, Luo Sheng doesn't have to worry at all. Page insists on arrogantly maintaining the so-called core concept, disrespecting the laws and good culture of other countries, and will sooner or later withdraw from the Greater China market.

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

With the launch of the cloud song search engine and the new version, the outside world finally realized the purpose of Luo Sheng's 30 million acquisition of this navigation website, and it seemed to understand its value in hindsight.

At this time, people in the industry came to their senses, and the value of navigating websites was realized.

However, it has been established for four years, and the traffic that ranks among the best in the country has now become Luo Sheng's bag. Yunge search suddenly appeared, and the search requests originally connected to search engines such as Google and Baidu were all blocked by Luo Sheng. Truncated, and diverted traffic to Yunge Search.

...

Whiteness headquarters, conference room.

"Luo Sheng acquired the hao123 navigation website and cut off the navigation links of Baidu, which directly led to a drop of more than 30% in search requests. We must launch our own navigation website as soon as possible."

After a senior executive speaking at the meeting, everyone else nodded in agreement. No one thought that the hao123 navigation website would have such great power. In fact, everyone knew very well that building a brand new navigation website is simple and can be accessed by traffic. But it is not simple.

But there is no better way, a navigation website must be established, this is no way, is it really necessary to surrender all the new Internet users to the hao123 website?

At this time, another executive said: "Since Luo Sheng has cut off the whiteness link, and as soon as the cloud song search goes online, we are already competing with Bluestar Technology, and we can't be soft-hearted, it is recommended to block the whiteness search. Drop the search terms and links related to BlueSpace\\BlueSpace\\B Club\\B Community\\BS equals, or jump directly to BlueSpace's competitors, such as 51 or Renren, we also set fire to other Luo Sheng's backyard can still make a profit..."

Hearing this, Li Yanhong rejected it on the spot, saying: "This is equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and losing two thousand, stupid, the main force of Internet users in the country now has a blue space social account, which is too radical, doing so will only make Search users are becoming more and more disgusted with white search, and eventually these users will turn to the embrace of Yunge Search, wouldn't they shoot themselves in the foot?"

Everyone was instantly stunned, and the executive who made the suggestion didn't say any more. It was true, it was too stupid to do so.

"Have you used Yunge to search?"

Everyone nodded unanimously when they heard Li Yanhong's question, and an executive said solemnly: "The indexing technology of Google Search is very powerful, not much weaker than our and Google's products. From the perspective of experience, from the user's point of view Look, the Yunge search homepage is extremely concise, and the index results are completely for bid ranking, advertisers may prefer whiteness, but users...I think they will prefer Yunge search."

The management at the meeting knew that Baidu's bidding ranking was controversial, and now a cloud Google search is more clear than Google, and the indexing technology is quite strong. This kind of opponent who regards user experience as the core benchmark, Baidu is very afraid. Yes, because it knows its own strengths and weaknesses, and its liquidity is very strong, but the overdraft is the future. If it is to occupy the market monopoly pattern, it is another matter.

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

Although Yunge Search has just been born, although it is a latecomer, it has a high starting point, especially after Luo Sheng bought the hao123 navigation website,

Draining traffic for Yunge search, most of the new users who come into contact with the Internet for the first time are no longer Baidu search, but Yunge search when they first contact the search engine.

Even if half of these users will eventually be converted into users of Yunge Search, that is a very amazing volume.

Another executive who attended the meeting said: "In this way, Yunge Search will inevitably trade at the cost of loss-making operations in exchange for user experience effects. How long can the funds last? And if I guessed correctly, Blue Space has exceeded 100 million users so far. , still do picture sharing, the bandwidth cost is terrifyingly high, but it has not yet accepted any advertising business, obviously not ready to monetize traffic, it can be said that Bluestar Technology has been operating at a loss since its establishment, relying entirely on VC injection of capital. operate."

"I don't know what kind of fascination Luo Sheng did to those VCs. He shouted at the capital circle, so many venture capitalists rushed to give him money..." Another participant couldn't help but complain. After thinking about it for a while, it makes me angry, and those who run a broken leg in order to attract a group of investment startups are even more angry.

It really is the rhythm that people are more popular than dead people.

Don't those VCs worry about investing so much money in, and they'll go to waste?

Tengxun invested $120,000 in the angel round, $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 has yet to make any profit.

Luo Sheng gave them the feeling that these VCs were like his relatives, no, they were even closer than relatives.

Industry insiders and entrepreneurs are even more envious, jealous and hateful about this, not only because Luo Sheng is frantically squandering investors' money, but the key is that the investors are SoftBank, Venture Capital, Goldman Sachs, IDG, etc.

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

In other words, Luo Sheng thinks that financing will become smoother.

It's been really smooth.

Li Yanhong in the conference room thought for a while, and immediately decided: "First, the 'Bai Du Tie Bar' project should be established as soon as possible, and the navigation website should also be put on the agenda. Another issue of offline promotion is the default of Internet cafes all over the country. It is the hao123 navigation website, as soon as the Baidu navigation website comes out, the competition for offline Internet cafes is very critical.”

The executives who attended the meeting said: "Mr. Li, this expenditure will be quite large."

Li Yanhong sighed: "This is the key to the rapid spread of the Baidu Navigation website. The traffic place of Internet cafes must not be ignored."

...

Three days later, Bluestar Technology Company, development meeting.

"It has been three days since the launch of Yunge Search, and the search request volume has reached 6.85% of the whiteness, far exceeding expectations." Feng Yi is particularly happy. This result will definitely make the industry look at it for the search engine that has just been launched.

The accurate index of Yunge Search itself is big on the one hand, but everyone in the meeting knows that this is the most important thing for Luo Sheng to acquire hao123 navigation and use it to drain traffic. Otherwise, 2% will be thankful.

Since the birth of Google search, the "entrance" of the Internet world has changed from navigation and portal sites to search engines. This step has been almost completed abroad, so 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 the users who have just come into contact with the Internet world from the navigation website to cloud song search.
