Top of the big era

The chain reaction produced by the cooperation between Baidu and Weidian must have put more pressure on Ziweixing.

Li Yanhong is proud and arrogant, and has an attitude of looking down on all sentient beings, that is, she does her own business behind closed doors, and looks down on these domestic counterparts, and has no business contacts.

Baidu blocked the outside world, and the reaction was relatively small.

There are fewer in-depth partners.

Ziweixing is different.

With a more open attitude, it faces domestic and foreign counterparts, and has a certain degree of business relationship with almost all well-known Internet companies.

Among them, Erma is the most representative.

It is necessary for Zhou Buqi to explain them one by one.

Call Ali's boss Ma first, the relationship between the two is okay.

"Xiao Zhou, you didn't do this!"

"I know……"

"No, if it is a normal business operation, I will never say anything, but you and Baidu teamed up, which is against common sense. How can there be a combination of the first and the second? The normal business logic should be the second and the third. Fourth, attack the number one together.”

Boss Ma said anxiously in a very concerned tone.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What you are talking about is the logic of rebellion. The logic of reform I am doing is different. Rebellion means that the prince joins the cabinet ministers, clans, and nobles to oppress the emperor together. Reform means that the emperor and the prime minister will cooperate with each other. Conspiracy, the first and second in command united, and it was pushed forward."

Boss Ma laughed angrily, "Stop telling me nonsense!"

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Lao Ma, I am not targeting you with this matter. The current Internet environment... is full of chaos! Relevant departments are working hard to rectify it, but this also requires self-discipline in our industry. Just like I did a few years ago Being a micro-point security guard is the same as free anti-virus software. It is to purify the market and sweep away all rogue software and computer viruses. As you can see, I did it. This time, I will join hands with Baidu to purify the search engine market. "

"That's not a reason."

"Why not a reason? If you don't believe me, just use your home Yahoo to search. There are vulgar and indecent content everywhere. This will pollute the minds of minors."

Boss Ma said angrily: "You really... can you stop talking about this with me? You go and fool the common people with this shit. Tell me the truth, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Buzheng said in a low voice, "Get rid of Google."

"Um?"

Boss Ma's tone changed slightly. He also often goes to Beijing to seek connections, so he vaguely knows something.

Zhou Buqi hesitated, and sighed softly, "If you asked, then I will tell you the truth. Some time ago, Ziweixing got a very favorable land policy from the government, and all the big leaders came to inspect it. gone."

Boss Ma let out a "hmm".

Zhou Buqi said: "The big leaders mentioned it to me in private, saying that they don't like what Google does in China. A lot of content in Google is contrary to our mainstream public opinion. However, letting them take action directly is to hinder A free market economy, in violation of trade agreements, should not be too ugly."

Boss Ma asked, "Is this a subsidiary condition?"

Zhou Buqi said slowly: "No, but the leader mentioned it. Isn't this hint obvious enough? If we don't have the ability, then that's fine. Since we have the ability, we have to do something, right? Take people's hands short, eat people soft mouth."

Boss Ma was silent.

This reason is very strong. As a member of the Taishan Club, for entrepreneurs who often come to the capital to make connections, he understands the truth of it all too well.

I even feel that Xiao Zhou's operation is very rational and amazing. Unobtrusively flattering the authorities, introverted and low-key, keeping a low profile, can also set up his own image high and not be taken advantage of.

The most important thing is that Baidu is used as a backstop.

The sky is falling and the big one is holding it up.

Baidu is the first in the market, and Micropoint is the second in the market. Baidu is big, and in the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, this matter is likely to be led by Baidu.

Because of the cooperation between the first and the second, the result is often that the first is invincible, and after all external threats have been eliminated, the second will kill the donkey. Put all the conflict focus on No.2, and kill No.2 to thank the world. But the real instigator is the first.

Boss Ma has dealt with both Li Yanhong and Zhou Buqi, and has a relatively clear judgment on these two people. Boss Li... is a master of technology, he is a scientist, and he can't play such insidious tricks.

This matter must be led by Zhou Buqi.

Think carefully!

Most of the time, it's the first pair that kills the second. But occasionally, the second can complete a counterattack against the first and reach the top all the way.

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "Lao Ma, tell yourself, if you were in my position, what would you do? There is such a good opportunity, if I don't grasp it, what kind of business am I going to do?"

Boss Ma sighed, a little self-deprecating, "I have basically given up on Yahoo. The market share has been getting smaller and smaller in the past few years. My goal for Yahoo is to integrate search technology into Taobao. On your side...Baidu and With Micropoint teaming up, within a year or two, we can really sweep the market."

"It won't take that long."

"Are you so relieved to cooperate with Baidu?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Why don't you feel relieved?"

Boss Ma pretended not to understand, and asked knowingly, "When the two of you join forces to unify the market, won't you be afraid that Baidu will turn back and attack Weidian?"

Zhou Buqi laughed, "No, Boss Li is not that bad."

Boss Ma snorted coldly, "Yeah, maybe it was planned by you. The Sima family endured the humiliation and took advantage of Cao Wei's power to conquer the world. When the world is unified, it's time to seize power and become emperor. "

Zhou Buqi said inexplicably: "I don't know what you're talking about. Baidu has a big business, and it's not that easy to grab the territory. Anyway, I'm joining forces with Baidu, so I don't worry about being backlashed."

Even if Baidu and Micropoint really jointly dominate the market, Baidu will not be able to spare the energy to make a move against Micropoint.

In the next few years, Baidu fell into a huge internal struggle in the "Pyramid" project, and its e-commerce business hit a wall left and right, and it was in a state of desperation... Then, it was the mobile Internet, and Baidu's future was even more confused.

Zhou Buqi knew himself and the enemy, he dared to do something against common sense, and said frankly: "The cooperation between Weidian and Baidu is limited to the search engine. I will not participate in your competition in the field of e-commerce. This will not affect Ziweixing and Ali. partnership."

Boss Ma was almost pissed off by this brat's shamelessness, "In wartime, you would be a double agent!"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "No, one code is one code. E-commerce is e-commerce, search is search, and they cannot be confused. The cooperation between Youyou.com and Taobao is so representative. Facts have proved that Ziweixing and Ali The cooperation is 1+1 greater than 2."

This is a conspiracy.

The old horse was furious, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The three major traffic distribution bases in China are Baidu, Penguin and Ziweixing. The first two are both engaged in e-commerce and have to fight with Ali. Only Ziweixing can cooperate, and there is no choice.

Especially after Weidian cooperated with Baidu and killed its own Yahoo... Taobao's traffic will be tied to Ziweixing. It's like I blow up your house and you have to come and live in my humble rental.

Boss Ma was a little dazed.

When did this kid become an important figure in the Internet circle in China! Even Penguin's Soso relies on Weidian's technical support.

This is a strategist!

Sigh!

For Zhou Buqi's side, the old horse is done, and the next step is the pony.

This is easy.

You don't need so many detours, just go straight.

Anyway, the contract has been signed.

The monthly technical service fee is 1 million yuan, and the contract is 20 months. If the contract needs to be extended, Penguin needs to give written notice three months in advance.

In case of unilateral breach of contract, 60% of the total contract amount shall be paid as liquidated damages.

The total value of this contract is 20 million yuan.

If Penguin wants to breach the contract, it needs to pay Ziweixing 12 million yuan in one lump sum.

For Penguin, the liquidated damages are easy to pay, and the amount is not large. The point is, after breaching the contract... who will Soso find for technical support?

Baidu and Micropoint have joined forces.

Blocked all search engines!

More importantly, "choose one from the other" was also played. Merchants and personal websites should either choose the alliance between Baidu and Weidian, or choose other search platforms.

There are no intermediate terms.

This means that other search engines will gradually lose customers. Without customers, there is no revenue. Without income, you can only wait to die!

Unless the state mediates, thinking that "choose one" is suspected of monopoly, Baidu and Weidian are required to abandon this policy.

But this is impossible.

Zhou Buqi devised a whole set of strategies, which was an act of pleasing and catering to the officials. Officials can only support secretly behind the scenes, rather than punishing them openly.

In the next few months, Ziweixing will launch Helo.

At that time, the two sides will become sworn enemies, and there will be no room for maneuver. The cooperation between Micropoint and Soso does have some positive effects on Ziweixing.

But compared with Helo's grand strategy, it can be ignored.

Zhou Buqi's attitude was very firm on the phone call with Brother Xiao Ma.

Either continue to cooperate, and Weidian will continue to provide technical support for Soso. On Soso, you can still find Weidian and Baidu’s ecological content, and you can also enjoy 50% of the advertising revenue dividend.

Either default and pay a liquidated damages of 12 million.

At this time, you must be stronger.

In the previous life, Taobao and QQ were super giants in their respective fields and had no rivals. Behind Baidu, there are a series of competitors, Sogou, 360, Youdao, Soso...

The big reason is that Taobao and QQ have more resolute strategies. Taobao resolutely chooses one of the two, and QQ blocks all peers.

Not giving competitors the soil to survive is to ensure their own market position.

Baidu's strategy is a bit soft.

Merchants can cooperate with Baidu or join other advertising alliances. In other search platforms, you can also search for essential content products such as Baidu Maps, Baidu Zhizhi, Baidu Encyclopedia, Baidu Library, and Baidu Music.

Li Yanhong's temperament is too modest, and he will become a weakness for competitors to attack.

Zhou Buqi is different, wild enough.

Bind Baidu and unite with Micropoint to dominate 85% of the market share.

As long as you are strong, you can crush all small platforms to death.

Well, the target is Google.

Fuck Google.

A wave of fish in the pond was easily affected.
