Chapter 267 Strong counterattack, overturning the table!(2/4)
In fact, many old directors' analysis of things is based on their own positions, which is not comprehensive.
And this secretary can be regarded as a user and analyze the problem from the user's perspective, which is a perfect complement.
In addition, he was reliable, capable, and stable. Li Yan was easy to use and stayed with him as the assistant to the chairman.
As soon as the funds came out, the hot searches began to decrease.
Jian Ziyan quickly discovered this problem and immediately reported it to Wang Yi: "Chairman, Baidu is reducing the hot searches, and those hot searches are all being reduced!"
"It's okay, keep taking action. Spend money and push the hot search up again!" Wang Yi said boldly.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Compared with search, the current Xingyi Technology cannot compare with Baidu.
But compared to profits, Baidu is just a younger brother!
Xphone 1 is selling well, and Xingyi Technology is not short of money at all.
With the addition of BYD OEM, Xphone 1 production capacity has soared.
As of the 12th, the two major factories have produced 1.1 million units of Xphone 1 this month. Together with the millions of units in stock at the beginning of the month, a total of 2.1 million units have been delivered.
But even so, demand still exceeds supply.
There are still more than one million fully pre-ordered Xphone 1s waiting to be shipped, and the number of new orders every day is also over 100,000.
At present, the Xingyi mobile phone factory + BYD factory have a daily production capacity of more than 120,000.
It will take about ten days to process this batch of orders!
In addition, the production capacity of the two major factories is constantly climbing, and it will reach a daily production capacity of 150,000 units by the end of the month!
If you place an order now, it will be shipped in about ten days, which has solved the production capacity crisis.
By the end of the month, it is estimated that full stock will be available!
And the revenue is even more terrifying!
2.1 million have been sold, and the full price is 1 million+, which adds up to 12 billion+!
In addition, X buds are also sold out.
With the start of Goertek's foundry manufacturing, the production capacity of
800,000 X buds have been delivered so far.
However, there are still 1.5 million fully pre-ordered X buds waiting for delivery, and the number of new orders every day is more than that of the Xphone 1.
After all, in addition to Xingyi mobile phone users who need X buds, other users such as Apple and Samsung also need X buds.
As a result, X buds’ revenue is more than 2 billion!
Coupled with other business revenue and previous balances, even after deducting all costs, investments and other expenses, Xingyi Technology still has more than 15 billion in funds lying on its books.
Not short of money at all.
And Baidu may have a market value of more than 200 billion yuan, which is a real behemoth.
But their cash flow may not necessarily match that of Xingyi Technology.
As for cashing out 15 billion?
If Baidu dares to do this, its market value will evaporate by 50 billion, or even 100 billion!
When it comes to burning money, Wang Yi is not afraid at all!
Soon, Baidu’s hot search that had just been downgraded was pushed up again!
Li Yan was stunned: "What a rich man! You are going to die with me!"
"Chairman, what should we do?"
Li Yan sighed: "These hot searches are hanging on, which is good for Xingyi Technology, but bad for us. Continue to spend money and cancel the hot searches."
But it's a pity that just after they withdrew, Xingyi Technology came up again!
After many struggles, Li Yan had no choice but to give up.
Baidu has a big business, a lot of business, and even more business to spend money on.
It can't even be burned.
I can only watch helplessly: "I hope these hot searches will have a limited impact on us!"
But in the afternoon, Li Yan couldn't sit still.
The vice president came over anxiously: "Chairman, the situation is not good. Today, 300,000 Baidu browsers were uninstalled!"
"What? So many?" Li Yan was startled, not expecting that this kind of resistance would be so serious.
Baidu Browser is a new product launched in June 2011. It has developed rapidly based on Baidu search engine. Just half a year after its launch, it has tens of millions of users.
Now, 300,000 yuan has been dropped all at once, which is not an ordinary pain!
However, misfortunes never come singly.
The vice president added: "iQiyi is even worse, with more than 400,000 uninstalls! Today's revenue has dropped by 70% compared to the 12th of last month!"
Li Yan looked pale: "..."
I never expected that the boycott from netizens would come so quickly and so horribly!
Wang Yi knew the terrifying power of netizens, but Li Yan didn't.
After all, Li Yan has never experienced that the vast number of netizens can buy out a brand's inventory in one day, and they can also destroy a brand until it can no longer be sold!
But now, after causing public outrage, Li Yan was frightened.
In less than a day, 300,000-400,000 were dropped!
Such a loss is too great!
Neither iQiyi nor Baidu Browser can bear it.
Currently, there are hundreds of millions of users of Baidu search engine, but only tens of millions of download users of Baidu browser.
If this continues, we will be in big trouble.
The vice president was even more anxious: "Chairman, as the situation escalated, we became the opposite of Xingyi Video users and fans, and even the opposite of many netizens, so that they began to boycott us. Now we have the number of Baidu browser uninstalls
, is growing every hour, and if this continues, the impact will be too great.”
Li Yan nodded and wanted to understand this question, with a livid face: "In this situation, we really kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to ourselves. After Xingyi Video was blocked, Xingyi Video was suppressed, but we Baidu and iQi
Art was also boycotted and suffered heavy losses! What should we do?"
The current situation is so embarrassing.
Should we continue to ban them? Baidu and iQiyi will still have to lose volume.
If you don't block it, it will look like Baidu is weak, and you have to bow your head to compromise and negotiate.
It's a small shame, but it's a big trouble if it affects Baidu's brand!
The most important thing is that the dignified BAT brother has no face to bow to an emerging company?
"No, we can't compromise! Once we compromise, the losses will be more serious."
Li Yan said in a deep voice: "More importantly, once we shake hands and make peace, iQiyi will not be able to withstand the impact of Xingyi Video!"
"Yes, this is the most serious problem." The vice president also nodded: "It is precisely because of this that we blocked Xingyi Video. Therefore, we cannot compromise with Xingyi Technology!"
Li Yan agreed very much: "Yes, we cannot compromise with Xingyi Technology, but we must compromise with users!"
"Chairman, what do you mean..." The vice president didn't understand.
Li Yan smiled: "We have to pay attention to users' reactions, respect users, or differentiate between users and Xingyi Technology. To put it bluntly, even if we block Xingyi Video, we have to find a suitable reason and make a name for ourselves. That's it.
If you don’t stand against users, you won’t be boycotted!”
"That's it, Chairman Gao Ming!" The vice president's eyes lit up: "Then I will arrange for emergency public relations! Let's just say that Baidu blocked Xingyi Video. It is not Baidu suppressing its peers, but because Xingyi Video contains sensitive content. It is for
It’s only blocked because of the healthy development of the Internet!”
Li Yan waved his hand: "Sensitive content is not good, and the dramas that can be released are all those that have passed censorship. Once we say this, netizens and regulatory authorities will ask us to provide evidence, what should we do?"
"This..." The vice president was silent, and then his eyes lit up: "Then we will say that there is illegal content!"
Li Yan nodded: "This hat is good, the scope of non-compliant content is wider, and problems can always be found! In addition, there is a lawyer's letter warning!"
"good!"
Soon, Baidu issued a statement:
[In response to some netizens’ rumors that Baidu blocked Xingyi Video in order to suppress other businesses, Baidu expressed strong condemnation and deep regret. Baidu did not block Xingyi Video, just because Xingyi Video contained some illegal content. For the sake of the Internet
For healthy development, Baidu has the responsibility and obligation to take temporary restrictive measures. We hope that Xingyi Video will rectify it as soon as possible and jointly contribute to the healthy development of the Internet. In addition, Baidu strongly condemns netizens who spread rumors and smear Baidu and reserves the right to pursue legal liability.

A warning letter from a lawyer is attached below.
Similarly, Baidu spent money to directly push this statement to the top three of the hot search list.
