After sorting out, no one thinks that Luo Sheng spent 30 million to acquire hao123. It was a waste of money. This will definitely make Yunge's entry into the search engine market more than one or two, greatly increasing Yunge's confidence in searching from behind.

Time goes by day by day, Yunge Search's development progress is constantly advancing, Tieba's development is also constantly improving, and testing has begun internally.

As for the newly acquired hao123, the maintenance company was sought after, it was two people who were responsible for this. It was not that Luo Sheng spent 30 million yuan to buy it and ignored it. It was really too simple. It didn’t require many people at all, and it didn’t need to make major updates so frequently. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable that Li Xinping was the only one who was in charge of it after almost four years of establishment. Moreover, Li Xinping was also making trouble for the 4399 website at the same time.

Everything went smoothly, and it was launched before December as Luo Sheng asked. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be no suspense.

During this period, the news of the change of ownership spread in the industry and had been reported in the industry through media reports. It was soon confirmed that it was the lightning-like Blue Star Technology that acquired the navigation website.

As one of the star-level Internet startups today, every move has attracted much attention from the industry.

The focus of the industry is that Luo Sheng actually spent 30 million yuan to buy a website with only one person. The simplicity and simplicity of hao123 is so simple that anyone can easily copy one. It is still a model that Yahoo plays the rest of it. He actually spent 30 million yuan, which seems incredible to many practitioners in the industry.

There are even rumors that Luo Sheng took the opportunity to transfer funds and illegally cashed out.

After all, Luo Sheng is a social networking website. What is the significance of acquiring hao123? The key is that he still spends such a lot of money.

In the following days, several major VCs such as SoftBank, Goldman Sachs, Venture Capital, IDC and other calls Luo Sheng and ask about this matter.

Luo Sheng pushed all the investors back in one sentence: Don’t ask, don’t think or doubt, you should wait until the company’s financial expenditure list is sent for audit, and then ask, and then you want to doubt or doubt.

This makes investors very embarrassed.

Well, then wait, you can only wait.

Investors also know that Luo Sheng has made frequent moves recently, and the clues can be seen from external recruitment, which is to enter the search engine market.

In fact, investors want to question Luo Sheng, as a latecomer, what should they use to compete with competitors such as Baidu, Google and Yahoo?

Although the domestic search engine market is still in a battle, what are the advantages of Luo Sheng’s new search engine benchmarking against these old players?

But the investors still chose to shut up because they knew that even if they asked, Luo Sheng would still say the same thing to him.

Before he failed, investors really had no place to criticize him. Instead, Luo Sheng told them about the development of the blue space, and the picturesque growth made them seem to have nothing to say except shut up.

What the outside world didn't know was that when Luo Sheng spent 30 million to acquire hao123, Bai Du was panicked inside. Li Yanhong was actually thinking, and he actually fell in love with hao123 and already had the idea of ​​acquiring it.

The reason is very simple. By around October this year, hao123's search requests accounted for more than 35% of the whiteness traffic and were still growing rapidly. Only internal data of whiteness can be seen, and the outside world does not know.

That is to say, suppose there are 10 netizens using whiteness now, and 3.5 of them enter the whiteness search page through hao123. Website navigation.

This is amazing, and what's even more terrifying is that it is still growing rapidly. If this trend continues, it will exceed 40% next year.

The hao123 has been intercepted by Luo Sheng and bought it first. What made Li Yanhong even more uneasy is that all signs indicate that Blue Star Technology is about to enter the search engine market.

In other words, will the navigation links of Baidu in hao123 become the first choice? Or will they be placed in an almost neglected corner? Or will Luo Sheng cut off the Baidu link directly and switch to the search engine under Bluestar Technology?

If the worst happens, it means that the whiteness will be intercepted by more than 35% of the search requests in an instant, and these traffic will be intercepted by search engines under Bluestar Technology, including Google search engines.

Finally, the news that Bluestar Technology, which has been rumored on the industry network for a long time, was confirmed on November 25.

On this day, Yunge Search was officially launched, and there was also Yunge Tieba, which ushered in an updated version of hao123. The results that Baidu and Google were most reluctant to see were finally staged.

Luo Sheng should not be too ruthless in this move!

Directly and completely intercept your Google link portal and whiteness link portal. From today on, you will never get a search request from hao123. Website navigation, and you don’t even give an edge bit, just cut it off.

The updated hao123. Navigate the website. The most conspicuous search box at the top of the web page is Cloud Song Search. On the left side of the search box is the logo icon of Cloud Song Search. Click it with a mouse and jump to the home page of Cloud Song Search. On the right side of the search box, click it with a mouse and jump to the home page of Cloud Song Search.

The homepage of Yunge Search should not be too concise, it fully demonstrates simplicity.

The most eye-catching whole page is the search box in the middle. The confirmation key of whiteness is on the right side of the search box, while Yunge Search is in the middle part of the bottom of the search box, and the confirmation box is [Search/searh]

Above the search box is the logo icon of Yunge search [Yunge/yunge], which is also a bilingual icon, all in a cloud.

This is also Luo Sheng hinted at cloud services, but there is no concept of cloud computing or cloud services now, but no one has seen the foreshadowing that Luo Sheng laid in it.

The homepage of Yunge Search takes "simplicity" to the extreme. Even the post bars that are launched simultaneously do not show the prominent position on the page, but are in the upper left corner.

Originally, Feng Yi and the others in the project development team wanted to put the label of the poster next to the Yunge search box.

But Luo Sheng refused.

If it weren't for Feng Yi and Yu Jun and others insisted, Luo Sheng would even want to remove the tags of the post bar from the main search page.

Well, Feng Yi and the others wanted to put the slogan of Yunge searching "The world is very complex, Yunge understands you better" under the logo icon.

But Luo Sheng refused.

Search engines are just an entrance, so there is no need to be so fancy on it. Ten additional words mean that the two words "cloud song" on the page will appear in the slogan and logo icons at the same time.

This made Luo Sheng unbearable.

Finally, it’s extremely simple, and it’s comfortable to open the search page!

This is user experience.

So much so that Yunge Search has almost no change in the next ten years, because it has been extremely simple since its launch, but Yunge Search will update the version every year.

The only changes are the five letters of "Yunge/yunge" and the size, spacing, angle, color and font changes of the two Chinese characters.

Compared with the current whiteness with a domestic market share of more than 45%, and with Google or other search engines with more than 20%, the page simplicity of its page has reached its extreme.

Compared with Google Search, the latter's homepage also has a function bar, including [web page], [picture], [dictionary] and [news], etc.

Search users are very clear about the purpose of using search engines. You don’t need to sell them. You just need to bring a simple and comfortable page to the user. Everything is OK. If the user needs it, it can be solved by navigating the website.

Obviously, Google later learned that this was all unnecessary, so the subsequent updated versions are increasingly moving towards cloud song search on the road of simplicity.

But the key lies in the index technology and the number of web pages included. As of this year, there are about 380,000 cn domain names registered in China and about 570,000 web sites. The global domain name registration volume has exceeded 60 million this year, with a growth rate of 16%, reaching a historical high.

Although Yunge Search is led by Feng Yi and Yu Jun, Luo Sheng is actually actively contributing his own development technology behind the scenes. The fluency and indexing technology of Yunge Search can be directly compared to Google as soon as it is launched. The whiteness is completely good, and it is even better.

Without Luo Sheng, even if Yunge Search's development team expanded three times on the original basis, it would not have been possible to successfully go online in just over 50 days.

Yunge Search focuses on Chinese search engines, so Luo Sheng actually only has one competitor Baidi in his eyes. At most, it will add a Google search in the Greater China market. Other search engines are listed as other options and can even be ignored.
