It is obviously unrealistic to compare Google and Baidu.

Google's advertising revenue this year will reach $6 billion, which is comparable to traditional media giants such as Viacom, Comcast, and Time Warner.

Baidu’s advertising expenses are more than 30 million US dollars.

However, in the domestic market, Baidu has an absolute leadership position.

The way to make money in the search business is advertising. Baidu has 80,000 advertisers, and the two parties are directly connected without middlemen. This is huge potential.

Yahoo China, which was acquired by Alibaba, has 40,000 advertisers, and only some large-client advertisers are directly connected. Most of the small advertisers are connected through advertising intermediary platforms like Jieyu Media.

Google has just entered the domestic market, and the first thing it needs to develop is naturally the search business. It needs to open up advertiser channels and build a Google advertising alliance.

This task is too difficult.

Baidu has dominated the market and created a head start effect.

As the newly appointed president, one can imagine the pressure Zhou Shaoning is under.

The domain name matter can be solved in a few words.

Cai Wensheng apologized and said that he wanted to give it to Zhou Buqi for free, but he did not accept it and agreed to contribute 200,000 yuan. There was no need to waste favors for a domain name.

Next, the topic turned to Google.

"By the way, are you cooperating with Microsoft?" Zhou Shaoning looked strange.

Zhou Buqi shook his head and said: "The main reason I cooperate with Microsoft is to use MSN's customer resources to develop the Friends Network. As for the search business, to be honest, Microsoft's Live search is so bad that I want to get out of the contract."

Zhou Shaoning smiled and said: "Okay, Google will provide you with search services!"

"It's too complicated!" Zhou Buqi sighed. The cost of breach of contract was too high, and given the current situation, Microsoft's role in Friends Network was greater.

"Is there a way around it?"

Zhou Shaoning obviously doesn't want to give up such a customer, from the school network, to the friend network, and then to the micro-point security guard, which is extremely popular in the circle recently. I wonder what new tricks he will be able to play after a while.

"We won't consider Microsoft's matters." Zhou Buqi shook his head. It is impossible to get around a contract with such a large company. "However, we might as well cooperate in other fields."

Zhou Shaoning was a little disappointed, "Google has just entered China, and the first thing it did was search business."

"What a coincidence, what I'm talking about is also related to search."

"Um?"

"Lao Zhou, have you paid attention to the input method?"

"You want to make a Chinese input method?" Zhou Shaoning immediately understood what he meant.

Zhou Buqi said: "That's exactly what I mean. The Wubi input method is too old-fashioned. I can't memorize the formulas alone. In addition to professional typists and bank counters, more people use the Pinyin input method. As a college student, every day

The first time I use a computer to write an article, it is extremely painful. The existing Pinyin input method has an error rate that is too high, seriously affecting typing efficiency."

Cai Wensheng, who was observing, added, "If I remember correctly, the most popular Pinyin input methods now should be Smart ABC and Ziguang Pinyin."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, Smart ABC is a product of Microsoft."

Zhou Shaoning couldn't laugh or cry: "Xiao Zhou, you may have misunderstood. It is true that Microsoft and Google are competing, but this does not mean that Google will compete for every business territory of Microsoft. Google is an emerging Internet company, and its background is

It is not as deep as Microsoft and can cover every corner of computer applications."

Zhou Buqi insisted: "Input method is the entrance to computer applications and must be done. For college students, an input method that suits their typing habits is an urgent need."

"What does this have to do with search?"

"I want to make an input method that is compatible with search engines."

"What's the meaning?"

Zhou Shaoning and Cai Wensheng looked at each other, unable to understand.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Let's just talk about the domain name just now, qiuzhi, what do you mean by pinyin? Job hunting, seeking knowledge, seeking value, hatred, seeking treatment, Qiuzhi, etc. Uh... you know what words I'm talking about.

Right? It doesn’t matter, you must understand what I mean. With so many words, when arranging them, which words come first and which words come last? This is very particular."

Zhou Shaoning looked at him strangely, "Is this important? My secretary also uses Pinyin input method and can even touch-type. She has memorized the entire word sequence."

"After all, they are a small number. Most people need to be searched one by one. This is too cumbersome."

"What are you going to do?"

"Integrate with search engines." Zhou Buqi was calm and unhurried, "When users search on Google, they will definitely leave a lot of search data. For example, they searched for 'job search' 1 million times and 800,000 times."

"Seeking knowledge', when arranging the input method, put 'Job seeking' in front of 'Seeking knowledge'. If on any day the search volume of 'Seeking knowledge' exceeds that of 'Job seeking', the sorting must be advanced."

Cai Wensheng's eyes were bright, "This is an Internet input method. The thesaurus is connected to the search engine and can be updated in real time. Compared with the traditional input method, some hot words can be added. For example, "Mouse Loves Rice", if you use traditional input

With this method, it may take a long time to input this word. If you connect to the search engine, the word will be entered into the vocabulary and can be displayed directly to the user."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "That's pretty much what it means."

In fact, it's much more than that.

The ultimate goal of the input method must be to create an exclusive vocabulary library for each user. With the hot words provided by the search engine, it will be extremely comfortable to use.

In 2005, the two pinyin input methods with the highest market share were Smart ABC and Ziguang Pinyin, but the one with the best reputation was the Dark Horse input method. The audience was very small because it was a paid software.

Compared with the 7M and 10M installation packages of other input methods, the installation package of the Black Horse input method exceeds 300M.

The most fundamental reason is that Dark Horse Input Method has a super large vocabulary database, which contains almost all ancient Chinese poems, place names, song titles, medical nouns, chemical nouns, etc.

With such a large vocabulary package, the input accuracy is naturally very high.

But the problem is that the input method needs to be started at boot. Such a large file package and thesaurus package take up too much memory when running, and a computer with poor performance may freeze.

For ordinary people, there is no need for such a large vocabulary package.

Doctors, just download a doctor package. Fans can download a song package, and programmers can download a computer-specific vocabulary package...

This is the product concept that future input methods should have.

But there is no need to tell them this, so as not to plagiarize the idea.

The top priority is to persuade Zhou Shaoning to open a port for Google's search data. It doesn't need to be too detailed, just display the search times for all words.

Zhou Shaoning was a little confused and hesitated: "I can't decide on this matter. I have to ask the headquarters for instructions."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Google is a great company. Hasn't it already developed an API service interface for developers around the world? It can't be like QQ, which sticks to one-third of an acre. Openness is the key to a company.

The broadmindedness that a great enterprise should have.”

"I'll ask you later."

"Well, if it really doesn't work, I can only find cooperation with Microsoft. Although I don't like Live search, it's better than nothing."

Zhou Shaoning said with a smile: "You are going to seize the smart ABC market. Will others cooperate with you?"

Zhou Buqi looked indifferent, "If it doesn't work out, I'll go to Baidu. There are so many search engine platforms, and there are always partners who are willing to cooperate."

Zhou Shaoning had no choice but to say, "I have a request."

"Tell me about it?"

"There are also some installed plug-ins for Google search. Micropoint security guards should be merciful and clean them all with one click. It is Google's philosophy to ensure that they are not rogue plug-ins and not to do evil."

"no problem!"

Zhou Buqi smiled with satisfaction.

Once a safety product is made, the income may not be much, but the right to speak will be gained.

…

In the second half of the year, the mobile phone market became increasingly sluggish.

Even waveguide and BBK are a little unable to resist.

It’s all a world dominated by foreign mobile phones.

Panda mobile phones have long since disappeared.

This is an offline pattern.

Online, Panda Mobile is the hottest brand!

I chose Panda because of the school online group buying event.

It's very simple, just low price.

On the first day of group buying, Shi Jinglin came up with an eye-catching performance report——

Panda X60 sold 12,000 units, Panda X39 sold 9,000 units, Panda T160 sold 16,000 units, Panda PHS008A sold 33,000 units, Panda M28 sold 8,000 units...

A total of 78,000 mobile phones were sold, with sales exceeding 60 million yuan!

So that at 11:30 that night, when everyone got off work, Shi Jinglin looked at Zhou Buqi with provocative eyes, like a sister who is better than you.

Zhou Buqi avoided the others and lowered his voice, "Why don't you go back to the dormitory and go to my house."

Shi Jinglin covered her chest with both hands and quickly took a few steps back. She was a little flustered and angry, but she didn't dare to yell loudly. She shouted in a low voice and said fiercely: "Is the fox's tail exposed? He is indeed a scumbag! Stop trying to trick my aunt.

!You can’t reach that high!”

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "What are you talking about? Wu Yu is here. If you are willing to go over, just talk to her! Whether Ai can go or not is inexplicable!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Shi Jinglin looked at him suspiciously, secretly took out her cell phone and made a call to confirm.

Then, he bit his lip and decided to give it a go.

My villa has been occupied by his family. What's wrong with staying there for one night?

right!

that's all!

As soon as his thoughts were clear, he saw that Zhou Buqi had already walked far away and was walking very fast, so he shouted hurriedly: "Zhou Buqi, slow down! I'm going to stay at your place tonight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be sharp eyes looking over at him with a "swish".

Everyone's expressions were joking, half-smiling but not smiling.
Chapter completed!
