Chapter 240: The Dark Horse
Wang Liu glanced at him and said lightly: "What else can I consider? Just combine the two models to make a name for themselves. Use the B2C model to make a name for themselves, and then use the C2C model to form scale and quickly occupy market share. Isn't it just complementary?"
"That's it, but we have just started doing e-commerce, and both models are involved. Is the starting point a bit too high?" Li Xiangtao said with a wry smile.
Wang Liu can think of him as the project leader, the overseas returnee elite who have been preparing for nearly half a year, naturally, it is good to combine the two modes, but the steps you take are too big and it is easy to get rid of the bad.
Wang Liu disagreed and asked, "Is it high? Where is it high? Are you worried that the store is too big and the staff is insufficient? Or is it that the business is too much and the funds cannot keep up?
With such an ATM in the gaming business, the company's accounts are full of money, and they are worried that there is no place to spend it. You told me that you lack money?
Or are there more than one billion people in China, and are you worried that you can't recruit people?
Since you are neither short of money nor afraid of not being able to recruit people, what else can you worry about?"
"Uh..." Li Xiangtao was speechless when asked. Thinking about it carefully, let alone what Wang Liu said was reasonable.
There are only two factors that restrict the development of a company: one is capital and two is talent.
They are not short of money, but as long as they have money and are willing to offer prices, they can always attract talents.
Both factors are available, and the combination of the two models is obviously more conducive to seizing the market, so why not do it?
"You are right, I'm too conservative." Li Xiangtao smiled bitterly and said, "Just listen to you, let's combine the two modes."
"That's right." Wang Liu smiled, turned around and asked, "How is the QQ business recently?"
"It's not bad, well... to be precise, it's a bit beyond expectations. The QQ show business performance has been excellent for a long time, and now it can generate three to five million revenue every month.
Advertising and membership businesses are now beginning to improve.
The most eye-catching thing is the share of mobile Dream Network. The total number of mobile phone text messages sent last month exceeded 30 million. Our family accounted for almost half of the business volume of the entire Dream Network project. The share was naturally very rich. The business has only been opened for more than two months, and now the monthly profit is more than five million.
This also allows QQ business, which has just reached a balance of revenue and expenditure, to directly achieve profitability.
With the help of mobile promotion, QQ's user growth has also exploded. Now there are more than one million new users every day, and the total number of users has reached nearly 90 million. At most, half a month, the total number of users will definitely exceed 100 million."
When it comes to the increasingly dazzling QQ business, Li Xiangtao smiled a little hard to stop smiling.
Wang Liu also smiled with relief. Although this profit and scale are not worth mentioning compared to his previous life, it is rare to get this performance in QQ just over half a year after it was launched.
The road has not gone astray, the future is promising.
I asked about the game business, and the performance was also excellent. The monthly profit of "Legend" remained at around 70 million, and "Miracle" was also catching up. Within three months of charging operation, the monthly profit was already close to 50 million. The growth rate was very fast. It won't take long to catch up with "Legend".
Wang Liu was very satisfied, so he encouraged him a few words, and did not stay any longer, leaving Tiansheng.
Li Xiangtao turned around and devoted himself to the combination of search and navigation pages. The search function has been developed and now he has acquired ready-made navigation websites. They are all ready-made technologies, so it is not difficult to combine them. They were developed in a few days.
Immediately afterwards, Tiansheng Search, which has been planned for nearly half a year, was officially launched.
...
Capital.
The atmosphere in the Baidu headquarters and conference room was a bit solemn.
Just over a year after the company was established, it has successively won many well-known Internet companies such as Sina, Sohu, 263, TOM, etc. to provide them with search services. At the same time, the personal search market share is also continuing to increase, and it still has a stable advantage in competition with Yahoo.
The performance was excellent, especially in the context of the bursting of the Internet bubble and the Internet concept fell into a severe winter. Its performance was impressive. It also attracted huge financing from many international venture capital institutions such as DFJ and IDG, and the financial pressure suddenly decreased.
Nowadays, we need money, technology, and market, and the situation is very good.
Just as the company was excited and wanted to continue to work hard, Mou Zuo was ready to continue to seize the market and strive to expand its advantages with Yahoo. Who would have thought that Tiansheng quietly joined the battle group quietly and came in full force. As soon as the business was launched, it directly changed the domestic search market structure with a dark horse.
The pressure suddenly came, forcing Baidu to hold an emergency meeting in a hurry.
Li Yanhong sat on the top, his face was equally solemn. He glanced at everyone, and his eyes finally fell on Xu Yong: "Old Xu, let me introduce the situation to you."
Li Yanhong, Liu Jianguo, Xu Yong, these are the three troikas in the early stages of Baidu's entrepreneurship. Among the three, Li Yanhong served as chairman and president, responsible for taking overall charge.
Liu Jianguo is appointed as vice president and is responsible for technology.
Xu Yong is the executive vice president, responsible for the market and is most familiar with the business situation.
Xu Yong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Everyone should have heard the news. Just yesterday, Tiansheng officially launched a search business. In addition to search, the page also added navigation information. Objectively speaking, the product is very impressive.
Moreover, Navigation is the first domestic navigation website acquired by hao123. It has a good user base. In addition, the two major users of the game and social networking that Tiansheng himself has. Although the product has just been launched, it has gained a large amount of traffic.
According to Alexa data, on the first day of its launch yesterday, Tiansheng Search's global visits ranked 303rd in one fell swoop. Although it is not as good as us, it is not far away."
Everyone's hearts sank, and their faces became a little more serious.
On the first day of online launch, Tiansheng Search's visits ranking reached 303, and the increase was amazing.
Baidu is only hovering in more than 200 places. Just looking at the ranking Tiansheng and them, you should know that they have been working for more than a year before they have accumulated their current ranking.
And Tiansheng only took one day!
With the two major social user groups that Tiansheng has mastered, if they can continue to attract traffic, it will be only a matter of time before they exceed them.
The domestic search market structure will also change as a result, from the original competition between Baidu and Yahoo to the three-legged three-legged rivalry between Baidu, Yahoo and Tiansheng.
Moreover, with Tiansheng's coming in a fierce manner, the first place they originally occupied was likely to be handed over to Tiansheng.
This undoubtedly gave them a head-on blow.
"We cannot let Tiansheng continue to develop like this. We must deal with it as soon as possible."
"I suggest adjusting the company's focus, tilting its energy from developing corporate users, and focusing on individual users, and consolidating our advantages in the terminal netizen search market."
"I have tried Tiansheng Search. I have to say that the navigation information is very good. They can do it, and we can do it too."
Everyone offered suggestions.
After hearing this one by one, Li Yanhong finally looked at Liu Jianguo and asked, "Jianguo, what do you think?"
Liu Jianguo said solemnly: "Navigation must be added. To compete with Tiansheng, first of all, you cannot lose in the product, but you cannot just add navigation. We will do whatever Tiansheng does. Follow it and chase it. The situation will always be passive.
To take the initiative, we must innovate and develop new features.”
