Chapter 1,160 Three Pillars

The news of the merger between "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo" sprung up overnight and became known around the world. Everyone's eyes were on Sunnyvale, California, USA. When "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo!"

After the merger of "Yahoo", the establishment of a new "Baidu-Yahoo" will represent that the search engine war originally provoked by "Baidu Portal" will become more and more intense. Which company can finally dominate the search engine world will start from now on.

The curtain began on a brutal battle.

In the future, will "Baidu-Yahoo" be the super hegemon that integrates "Yahoo", or will "Google" defend "Google" and become a new hegemony and continue to dominate? Also, "Microsoft" is planning to acquire "Yahoo" this time.

As a result, there were many complications, and Lin Feng took the lead. Will "Microsoft" give up? If "Microsoft" is unwilling to give up and wants to intervene in the middle, what will the future of the search engine industry be like?

No one knows! Even the most famous financial analysts cannot predict the future trends of the search engine industry. The water here is too deep and the variables are too great. The booming "Google", the powerful "Baidu-Yahoo",

As well as the eyeing "Microsoft", the three giants are not easy to mess with. In the entanglement of these three companies, whoever has the last laugh is likely to have the last laugh. Of course, the outside world is still more optimistic about "Google", after all, "Google" technology is still more

The market share is the leader, and the second is not "Baidu-Yahoo" which just merged with "Yahoo", but "Microsoft". As for the reason, it is very simple, there is nothing that "Microsoft" wants to do that it can't do

.

The outside world is so negative about "Baidu-Yahoo", which has just merged with "Yahoo", in fact, it is only for two reasons. First, although "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo" have merged, the two companies are still in the adjustment stage.

The future is yet to be known, but their opponents will not give them time. "Google" will not wait silently for "Baidu-Yahoo" to integrate and grow, and "Microsoft" has suffered such a big loss this time.

With all the cooked ducks flying, will "Microsoft" give up? Definitely not. Now that "Baidu-Yahoo" has offended "Google" and "Microsoft", it is extremely normal for the outside world to look down on it.

As for the second reason, many media and experts are very unhappy with Lin Feng. A yellow man not only became the richest man in the world, but also showed off his power and dominated the limelight in all walks of life. This makes white people like them feel embarrassed. Although

Nowadays, all countries are reaffirming the elimination of racism, but in fact, in many cases, racism is still quite, quite serious. Even in the United States, which is known as the freest country in the world, racism is extremely serious. Therefore, most Westerners,

Instinctively, I don’t want Lin Feng, a Chinese, to be too outstanding!

Lin Feng is quite "satisfied" that the outside world is so "optimistic" about his "Baidu-Yahoo".

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, since the outside world is so 'optimistic' about us, it seems that we should also give the outside world a little surprise." Lin Feng said with a smile.

After the establishment of "Baidu-Yahoo", the personnel appointments were determined immediately. Although Lin Feng personally owns 5% of the shares of "Baidu-Yahoo", including the 46% of the shares owned by "Baidu Portal", Lin Feng

There is no doubt that he is the largest shareholder of "Baidu-Yahoo". Therefore, Lin Feng is a well-deserved candidate for the chairman of "Baidu-Yahoo". Neither company has any opinion on this. As for the CEO, it is based on the previous negotiation.

, headed by Jerry Yang, and Robin Li as chief engine architecture engineer and vice president.

"Then let's launch 4G's 'tmail'!" Robin Li said with a smile.

Yang Zhiyuan nodded slightly. Now "Google" and "gmail" only have 2G capacity. Now that "Baidu-Yahoo" is established, the first step is to upgrade "tmail" to 4G. This is to tell the world that after the merger of "Baidu-Yahoo", it is absolutely

Have the strength to challenge “Google”.

"Also, Director Lin and Mr. Li, I suggest that 'Google' is currently the absolute hegemon in the US market. It is difficult for us to shake it in the US market. I think it is difficult to compete with 'Google' in the US market.

Bigger." Yang Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

Lin Feng and Robin Li set their sights on Yang Zhiyuan. Indeed, "Google", as a local IT company in the United States, has absolute local resources, which is what "Baidu-Yahoo" lacks. I wonder what Yang Zhiyuan can do.

Solve this problem.

"Director Lin, Mr. Li, I think that instead of fighting for every inch of territory with Google in the US market, it is better to put more energy into overseas markets." Yang Zhiyuan's eyes flashed.

Lin Feng and Robin Li nodded. Indeed, the U.S. market is now monolithically managed by "Google" and it is not easy to break into it. It is better to spend more energy in overseas markets.

"Director Lin and Mr. Li, in my opinion, the first thing we need to consolidate is the Asian market. This is our home market. This is a market that we must not lose. Especially Asia has three-fifths of the world's population.

As long as we can consolidate the market in Asia and become the number one search engine in Asia, we will be invincible in this war." Jerry Yang said.

Lin Feng nodded. The main profit point of search engine companies lies in advertising, and advertising companies are willing to place ads because of the popularity of search engine companies. If "Baidu-Yahoo" can become the number one search engine company in Asia, regardless of Europe and the United States,

Regardless of the market situation, advertising manufacturers will be very happy to place advertising resources on "Baidu-Yahoo".

"In Asia, the focus is on the three countries of China, Japan and South Korea. At present, the company has occupied 90% of the market share in China, so our focus is on Japan and South Korea." Yang Zhiyuan said.

Lin Feng and Robin Li nodded. Indeed, Japan and South Korea have 90 companies among the world's top 500 companies. If they capture the search engine market share of these two countries, it is equivalent to capturing half of the European market. Counting India and Malaysia

, Thailand and other countries, "Baidu-Yahoo" is enough to remain invincible in the world search engine market.

"Okay, Mr. Yang, then we will do as you say and do our best to seize the Asian market!" Lin Feng said loudly.

Jerry Yang and Robin Li's eyes were burning. This time, "Baidu-Yahoo" is finally going to officially start a war with "Google". This time, both sides are fighting on an equal footing to grab the search engine market share.

Immediately, "Baidu-Yahoo" launched a full-language version of Asia, and according to the customs of different countries, the pages in each country are also different, and the pages are completely modified based on the habits of netizens in each country. At the same time, "tmail" also

For the first time, other languages ​​besides Chinese and English were added, such as Arabic, Japanese, Korean, etc., and 4G capacity services were also launched.

"They're starting to take action!" Sergey Brin said, looking at the "Baidu-Yahoo" search engine webpages for each country displayed on his computer.

"Well, then we have to take action." Larry Page nodded. Since "Baidu-Yahoo" has taken action, they will naturally not sit still and wait for death. Didn't "Baidu-Yahoo"'s "tmail" launch 4G?

"Google" has also launched 4G. At the technical level, "Google" is not afraid of any opponent.

As for the "Baidu-Yahoo" strategy of focusing on the Asian market, "Google" will ignore it for the time being. Anyway, "Google" has always had a small share in the Asian market, and its main battlefield is in Europe and the United States. As long as it masters Europe and the United States, it will definitely

able to continue to dominate the search engine market.

When "Baidu-Yahoo" and "Google" began to engage in an all-out war, "Microsoft" was also ready to go. For "Microsoft", its current position is quite embarrassing. Although "msn" now has a 6% market share

, but this share is too small, and "Microsoft" and "Google" have one thing in common, that is, their main market share is in the United States. This gives "Microsoft" quite a headache.

However, although "Google"'s market is mainly in the United States, it still occupies an almost absolute market share in Europe. Even it has a certain market share in Asia, but "Microsoft" only has the US market.

"Bill, what do we do now?" Steve Ballmer said with a headache.

Bill Gates shrugged very irresponsibly.

"Steve, you are the president of Microsoft. I am just an engineer. I ask you how to do it, not me." Bill Gates' words made Steve so angry that he almost hit Bill Gates with a cup.

It's crazy.

You know, "Microsoft" was founded by Bill Gates. Now that the company is encountering big problems, he acts like nothing is wrong. This is so annoying. He is just a professional manager. Why should he be worried about the company?

, Bill Gates, the founder, is here leisurely?

Feeling Steve Ballmer's anger, Bill Gates had to get serious. Although he doesn't care about administrative matters now, he founded the company after all, and he doesn't want the company to suffer a major failure.

"Steve, in this situation, we have no choice but to wait!" Bill Gates said calmly, "Waiting for the outcome of the fight between the two tigers."

Steve Ballmer thought for a while and nodded helplessly.

"But while we are waiting, there is nothing we can do. For example, we can improve our search engine technology. Now the search engine technology of 'msn' is obviously not as good as 'google'. We can develop new search engine technology!" Bill -

Gates said.
