Chapter 69 Not an Internet Company (23)
The car drove into Shanghai City. After getting off the highway, the traffic gradually became crowded and the speed began to slow down.
"Brother Sun, how many auctions will there be in total this time?"
"It will last for a total of 3 days, with two games every day. The time is scheduled for one at 10 o'clock in the morning and one at 19 o'clock in the evening. There are many companies that have signed up. After screening the qualified ones, there are still many companies, so we can only divide the time for the auction." Sun Zhongyong said slowly.
Chen Mengchuan nodded and said nothing.
At the same time, Xiajīng City, in the headquarters of Baidu Building, a group of various people gathered together in a hurry and concentrated in a large multimedia conference room.
The leader is Li Yanhong, the founder of Baidu Company.
A group of people quickly sat down one by one, and everyone's expressions were not particularly good.
The conference room door quickly closed, and images of conference rooms in four major areas quickly popped up in the multimedia video, including remote video conferencing.
"Hello, fellow Baidu students, my name is Li Yanhong. Today's meeting was not what we planned. After all, the last meeting was not that long ago." Li Yanhong said.
The expressions of everyone underground were calm and solemn. The people in the conference rooms of the four major areas, through the large video screens, showed that everyone's emotions were not much different.
Li Yanhong raised his hand and pressed the switch in his hand. The big screen on the other side of the conference room lit up, and then an article popped up. The title above was very dazzling to everyone - "The Wolf is Coming!" Tianzhi's three new Internet products will eliminate Baidu, 360, Weixin and OQ!"
Li Yanhong was silent for a moment and said solemnly, "It has been nearly 20 years since Baidu was founded in the Millennium of China to today. This is the first time that I have truly felt that the wolf is coming. There are two wolves here, one is the old wolf Baidu, and the other is the young wolf Tianzhi Search."
"Perhaps some of you will think that this is just a YY work by an unscrupulous self-media editor, or you may think that the article is exaggerated, or maybe some of you have not read this article." Li Yanhong's expression became much colder.
"Everyone, Baidu, is at the point of life and death!" Li Yanhong's voice became louder.
"A few years ago, I have always had a very deep sense of crisis. This sense of crisis is very intuitive and I know very well that the source of the sense of crisis lies in the core of Baidu, search. I know very well that Baidu's search is not invincible or irreplaceable. When Hua When a search algorithm superior to Baidu appeared in Xia Dadi and spread rapidly, it was the time of Baidu's demise! Over the years, I have been very lucky that such a company and an engine with a search algorithm superior to Baidu did not appear!"
"Do you know my experience when I used the Tianzhi Search engine for the first time more than ten days ago? This search engine is great! It is much easier to use and cleaner than Baidu, and it is not inferior to Google!"
"When this idea came into my head, I fell into fear! I rejected a lot of things and thought about it for three days. I called a group of our classmates and asked them to understand and take a look at this search engine. The conclusion they came to was consistent with mine."
"From that time on, I knew that the countdown to Baidu's demise had begun!" Li Yanhong said seriously.
There was a lot of chatter at the scene.
An international friend in the meeting room raised his hand and said directly, "Robo! I think your view is too pessimistic, and your current state is very bad! You need to take a rest."
After his questioning voice fell, the scene became noisy, and the other four regions in the video conference also started whispering to each other.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yanhong slowly said, "Thank you Gelin, fellow Baidu students, I admit that my current view is very pessimistic, and my condition is also very bad. In the past few days, my front-line colleagues in the search business group and I have tested this The situation summarized by the Tianzhi Search engine is exactly the same as mentioned in the article. If Baidu makes no changes or takes any action and allows the Tianzhi Search engine to continue to develop, the final result will be a scene that students least want to see."
After finishing speaking, Li Yanhong raised his hand and pressed the remote control in his hand, and the big screen changed.
"This is the status of Baidu's search frequency across China in the past three months. Everyone is very aware of the early increase. Everyone is very happy. The daily search volume is increasing day by day. Whether it is a wireless mobile phone or a computer client, the situation is very good. But 10 days ago, this situation began to plummet, and the frequency of decline was terrifying!"
"We are losing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of search clicks every day. This trend continues to expand, and the speed is getting faster and faster. If this trend is not curbed, Baidu's search will be surpassed, and it is very close! Then it will continue to expand catastrophically, until it is completely replaced. When that day comes, it also means the end of Baidu! So now Baidu needs to fight back..." Li Yanhong's eyes are burning!
More than half an hour.
Li Yanhong, whose face was still calm and dignified, felt ashen inside.
The meeting room was already filled with arguments and mutual accusations.
"You were also responsible for the medical advertisements at that time. I will not take the blame when the blame is thrown on me. If we really want to settle the score, who doesn't have a share in it? Who can escape? Look at your own moral character and tell others..."
"During public relations, as the deputy general manager, you didn't handle this matter well and just added fuel to the fire. Do you think you were speaking in human terms..."
"The plan was unanimously approved by everyone. I didn't make the decision alone. Why should I be responsible? Let's do some self-examination first. If you don't throw those advertisements up there, we will have to wipe your ass..."
"What do you mean by that? Without the income from our advertising, where would the money come from to give your public relations such a high salary..."
"What we are talking about now is the topic of Tianzhi. Why are you bringing up these useless old accounts..."
"This is either an old issue or an issue with Tianzhi now. We have not sorted this out and have not re-established Baidu's flag. Everything we do is in vain..."
"Enough!!"
"Bang!" Li Yanhong slapped the table hard, and the loud sound calmed everyone.
Feeling the pain from the palm of his hand, which was far inferior to the pain in his heart, Li Yanhong felt that Baidu was really coming to an end.
"What we need now is a solution, not the endless quarrels and accusations like the wet market." Li Yanhong looked at the crowd and said coldly.
After a moment of silence, the international friend who had previously questioned and reminded him raised his hand again and said, "Robo! Have you ever thought about why this Tianzhi company can come up with such a mature search engine technology so quickly? As far as I know, this Tianzhi company produces the core hardware of wireless chargers. It is not an Internet company!"
His words made everyone stunned.
