Chapter 1,161 Technology decides everything

When "Microsoft" decided to develop a new search engine technology, the war between "Baidu Portal" and "Google" was already intensifying.

Since the merger of "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo" to form the new "Baidu-Yahoo", "Google" has begun to feel the pressure of "Baidu-Yahoo". The new "Baidu-Yahoo" global market share has jumped to the top

It is 27%, second only to “google”’s 54.3%. Although the gap is far from the data, “google” can no longer deal with it as easily as before.

After all, many of "Google's" competitors in the past, whether "Yahoo" or "MSN" (Microsoft), did not have a "base camp". Unlike "Baidu Portal", which has an absolute base camp in mainland China, its market share is higher than that of "Baidu Portal".

Google's 74% in the United States is even higher, and "Baidu-Portal" has a market share of more than 90% in China. This is something that "Google" dares not ignore. Now that "Baidu-Yahoo" has been established, the strategies it has adopted

It is also extremely correct. It is aimed directly at the Asian market and wants to establish a foothold in the local market.

The Asian market has always been beyond the reach of "Google". Whether in Japan or South Korea, the highest market share is only about 30%. Now "Baidu-Yahoo" has launched a new search engine service for Asian users, hoping to

If "Google" is driven out of Asia, even if it cannot be driven out, it will try to reduce its market share as much as possible.

Faced with the "Baidu-Yahoo" approach that is similar to "closing the door and beating the dog", "Google" is naturally not to be outdone. In addition to continuing to consolidate its market share in the US market, it has also increased its publicity efforts in the European market and launched

Brand new - personalized search engine.

The so-called "personalized search engine" is to analyze the limited scope of the search needs of specific users, and then expand to other similar websites on the Internet according to the user's needs to provide the most relevant results. This kind of search engine service can provide the most relevant results in the shortest possible time.

Searching for the information that users need to search within a short period of time solves the excessive redundant information caused by popular search engines in the past and avoids the time for users to sift through junk information one by one after searching.

The emergence of this kind of "personalized search engine" is undoubtedly very popular among users. Today's Internet era is an era of information explosion. Tens of millions of gigabytes of data are recorded and sent online every day. Faced with this

There is a huge amount of information. If players want to search for the information they want, it is definitely like looking for a needle in a haystack. Finding the information they are interested in often takes a lot of time, which is naturally unreasonable.

After the emergence of "Google's" personalized search engine technology, it can save time to the greatest extent. Although it is still not perfect, it can give users the most correct information in the shortest time, but it has exceeded before.

As for its user popularity, it can be seen from its market share. After "Google" launched "Personalized Search Engine Technology", "Google"'s market share has been rising steadily, and it has rarely risen to 80% in the US market.

%, and in Europe, especially the United Kingdom, it is an unprecedented 84%. As for Asia, it has also risen to 36% in Japan, South Korea and other countries. As for "Baidu-Yahoo", although it has the support of "Baidu Earth",

But in the global search engine market, market share has begun to gradually shrink.

"Larry, you are right. In the field of search engines, technology is the foundation of everything." Sergey Brin looked at the latest global search engine market share data table and said excitedly.

In the latest "Global Search Engine Market Share" data table, "Google"'s global share has risen to 60%, and although "Baidu-Yahoo" still maintains a 27% market share, the rest of the market share is suffering

Due to the suppression, "Microsoft's" 6% market share shrank to 5%.

Larry Page is also extremely satisfied with this data sheet. If "Baidu-Yahoo" were not supported by "Baidu Earth", its market share would have been eroded by "Google". But thinking of "Baidu Earth", La

Rei Page is a bit sore.

Originally, this was supposed to be the market of "Google Earth", but now it is occupied by "Baidu Earth", which was actually launched one year earlier than "Google Earth" (according to "Google" plan, "Google Earth" was launched in 2005, that is,

It won’t be launched until next year), which is really painful for “Google”.

"Larry, do you think it's time for us to consider Intel's financing offer?" Sergey Brin asked.

Recently, after it was revealed that "Oracle" and "Phantom Technology" jointly acquired "Nvidia", "Intel" took the initiative to contact "Google", hoping to raise funds and become one of the shareholders of "Google" to achieve a powerful alliance.

, jointly fight against Lin Feng and expand the market.

Regarding "Intel's" proposal, "Google" is extremely cautious. Although "Intel"'s financing conditions are very exciting to "Google", "Google" is not stupid. "Intel" wants to raise funds for "Google" at this time.

It is clear that they want to use "Google" to fight against Lin Feng in the future personal computer battlefield, and use the popularity of "google" to attack Lin Feng. After all, after Lin Feng acquired "Nvidia", it has begun to take shape in the personal computer market.

It has become a monopoly power, which is absolutely intolerable to "Intel".

There can only be one monopoly in the personal computer market, and that is Intel.

However, for "Google", although it is now at war with "Baidu Portal" and is an enemy of Lin Feng, it is just a war between search engines. "Google" does not want to spread the war and drag "google" into it.

Go to other battlefields. In that case, "Google" is a bit unfair and feels like being used as a weapon.

"Segil, what do you think?" Larry Page thought for a long time, but was still hesitant. Let "Intel" take a stake in "Google", not only can it solve the financing problem of "Google" in one fell swoop, but it also does have one more person to fight against Lin.

Allies of the wind, but in this way, "Google" will inevitably be dragged into other battlefields.

There are gains and losses, and the stakes here are really thought-provoking.

Segil thought about it for a long time, and came up with every idea. This decision was too important and would directly affect the future trend of "Google". He could not make a decision easily.

"Larry, I don't think so. Let's just wait and see how Baidu-Yahoo responds and what Lin Feng is prepared to do. If we can finally defeat Baidu-Yahoo, then we will reject Intel's offer.

If financing doesn't work, you can only rely on external resources." Sergey Brin finally chose a moderate approach.

Larry Page, after thinking about it, this is indeed the best way at present.

At this time, "Baidu-Yahoo" is also extremely troubled by the "personalized search engine technology" launched by "Google". In terms of search engines, if the search engine technology is not as good as the other party, no matter how much advertising is done,

No matter how many other services you publish, it won't be enough.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Yang, is this 'personalized search engine technology' so powerful?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.

Lin Feng really doesn't understand IT technology. After all, Lin Feng is not a top student. He doesn't have the memory of hundreds of years of scientists from later generations. He doesn't have any magical robots. He doesn't have the talent to learn things instantly. What Lin Feng has is just

Memories, memories about the next few years.

Robin Li sighed. This "personalized search engine technology" is really powerful. It is at least 15% faster than the current search engine technology. It seems that this 15% is nothing. After all, the response time of most search engine technologies is 1 second.

Within minutes, this difference can be calculated in milliseconds. Normal people have no reaction at all to this time. However, this 15% performance is not only in terms of response speed, but also 15% faster in search results.

, reducing the error information by 15%, this gap is very large.

Moreover, the most important reason why this "personalized search engine technology" is called a "personalized search engine" is that it will automatically record according to each person's habits. As the number of uses increases, the things that each person searches for will be responded to.

The speed and accuracy of search results will be faster and more accurate.

"Director Lin, we must admit that in terms of pure technology, Google is far ahead of us. They are well-deserved number one in the world." Yang Zhiyuan also sighed at the side.

Lin Feng was speechless. Although Lin Feng had known about the power of "Google" for a long time, he did not expect that it would be so powerful that Robin Li and Jerry Yang, the two giants in the search engine industry, would be amazed and admired by it. Hope

Looking at the helpless expressions on their faces, Lin Feng really felt a little regretful. If he had known that he would have bought more shares of "Google" when he was trying to sell iron, if it could exceed 30%, there would be no problem. But Lin Feng also

I know that this is impossible. After all, I was reborn in 1999, and at that time, "Google" had already started. If Lin Feng had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in 1999, then controlling "Google" would not be a problem. But

At that time, Lin Feng was just an ordinary poor man, and he was just about to start joining an Internet cafe with the help of his later memories, and start digging for the first pot of gold in his life.

The three of them looked at the sunset, feeling lonely.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Yang, is there really no way to deal with Google's technological advantages?" Lin Feng asked reluctantly after being silent for a long time.

The future belongs to the Internet, and in the Internet, search engines are the key to controlling the Internet. Having a search engine controls the eyes of Internet users and allows them to see what they want them to see. Especially for Lin Fenglai

He said that if he could control the Internet, his other companies would have the best advertising platform resources in the world. Building a business empire that never sets is definitely not a fantasy.

But "Google" is like a mountain lying in front of him. Without climbing this mountain, Lin Feng will not be able to control the Internet and build his own business empire that never sets.

After Li Yanhong pondered for a long time, he looked at Lin Feng, as if he had something to say, but he found it difficult to say it.

"Mr. Li, tell me. If you have anything to say, just say it." Lin Feng saw what Robin Li was thinking and asked warmly.

Robin Li took a breath, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"Director Lin, since the merger with Yahoo, I have been the chief engine architecture engineer responsible for the development of the company's search engine technology. From the technical department of Yahoo, I learned that they are developing a brand new search engine

Technology - vertical search engine technology." Robin Li considered it.

Vertical search engine technology is different from general web search engines. Vertical search focuses on specific search fields and search needs (for example: air ticket search, travel search, life search, novel search, video search, etc.).

Specific search fields have a better user experience. Compared with general search, which often requires thousands of retrieval servers, vertical search requires low hardware costs, specific user needs, and diverse query methods.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up after listening carefully to Robin Li's explanation of "vertical search engine technology". This is similar to "google's" "personalized search engine technology", and it is used to deal with "google's" "personalization"

The trump card of "search engine technology".

"Mr. Li, since we have this kind of technology, why don't we use it?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

Robin Li sighed helplessly.

"Boss, in fact, our company (referring to the original 'Baidu Portal') was also developing similar search engine technology, but like the one developed by 'Yahoo', we encountered a problem, that is, when there are too many users,

The entire page may be delayed, dragged, or even crashed. I really can't believe that 'Google' has successfully developed it, and judging from the current usage, there are no problems." Robin Li sighed.

Lin Feng frowned when he heard this. Now was not the time to lament the strength of his competitors.

"Mr. Yang, what do you think?" Lin Feng asked a little unwillingly.

"Director Lin, as far as I'm concerned, this new 'Innocent Search Engine Technology' can still be improved, but it may be difficult to put it on the market in the short term," Yang Zhiyuan said helplessly.

Lin Feng frowned.

"Then what is the probability of page crash?" Lin Feng asked worriedly.

Robin Li thought for a while.

"Director Lin, if more than 100 million people use it at the same time, the crash rate will be 0.7%. If more than 200 million people use it, it will be as high as 1.5%. If more than 300 million people use it, it will be as high as 14%. If more than 500 million people use it, the crash rate will be 100%."

Robin Li said.

Lin Feng was shocked when he heard this. The usage rate for more than 100 million people was only 0.7%, and it was as high as 1.5 for more than 200 million people. Lin Feng was still acceptable, but why was it as high as 14% for more than 300 million people, which was almost doubled.

This crash rate is growing too fast. Especially after 500 million people, the crash rate is as high as 100%, which is simply unacceptable.

"Director Lin, this data is the result of my supercomputer simulation. When the number of people reaches a certain number, the crash rate increases exponentially, so I don't dare to launch it rashly." Robin Li said helplessly.

When Lin Feng heard this, he felt like a deflated ball.

"Mr. Li, I don't think we are so pessimistic. We can improve it. I believe the crash rate can be significantly reduced. If we use 'cloud computing' technology to divert users, we should be able to carry more data."
