Chapter 627 Search is the top of the food chain(1/2)
He Yang has a military order and will resign if he does not finish Taobao this month.
Zhou Buqi couldn't live without him, so he had no choice but to come forward in person to persuade Lao Ma.
The location is Lao Mo Restaurant again, but this time it was changed to a VIP box.
There are no outsiders.
"You have really started the C2C market. Taobao has almost become synonymous with online shopping. What is the current market share? How much is it?"
"It can't be compared with your micro-point antivirus."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "You're so humble."
Boss Ma shook his head and said: "Beating eBay only defeated foreign giants, but domestic companies are still very ambitious. eBay was bought by TOM Online, and there is also the new entrant Paipai. Recently, Taobao's share,
It should be about 83%, and the share of those two companies is about seven or eight points."
Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, quite a few!"
Boss Ma glanced at him and said amusedly: "Micropoint Antivirus...and that Microdot Security Guard, what's the share? Is it more than 95%?"
Zhou Buqi shook his head and said: "There are about 60 million computers with Internet access in the country, and the number of installations of Micropoint Antivirus has exceeded 55 million, which is just over 90%. The number of installations of Security Guard is only 50 million, and the market share is about the same as Taobao, but still far behind
It’s so far away!”
Boss Ma said with a half-smile: "Why do I think there is something in your words? Young people should have the vigor of young people, don't pretend to be mature."
Zhou Buqi said angrily: "If you don't pretend to be more mature, can you manage the company well? Okay, let me tell you a secret. Baidu just held a board of directors meeting, do you know that?"
"Not paying attention."
"You are really... I know a little about the contents of the board of directors. Several major events were announced and spread, which is enough to shock the industry."
Boss Ma raised his eyebrows and said tentatively: "It can't be related to me, right?"
Zhou Buqi hummed: "Even Penguin has built Paipai.com and is going to compete with Taobao. Do you think Baidu will just sit back and ignore it?"
Boss Ma opened his eyes wide and was stunned.
Zhou Buqi looked at him deeply, raised his glass, took a sip of the sour red wine, and said lightly: "Old Ma, Li Yanhong has withdrawn from the Taishan Club now, and you will join in soon. In comparison, I
Treat you as one of my own. This is a business secret, so don’t talk so loudly that you will deceive me."
Boss Ma seemed to have forgotten to blink and said in disbelief: "Xiao Zhou, are you kidding me?"
Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Am I kidding you about this kind of thing? From the time he quit and you joined, even if the relationship is settled, you still haven't seen the situation clearly?"
Boss Ma lost his composure and was stunned.
If Baidu enters the C2C market and builds a website similar to Taobao, it will be a devastating blow.
Lao Ma has never taken Paipai.com seriously.
It is true that QQ's traffic is very high, but its user base is mixed, resulting in low credibility. In comparison, although the traffic of Friends.com is far inferior to QQ, the user base of Friends.com is very good and has gathered domestic
The group of people with the most spending power.
Lao Ma wants to find a friend network to cooperate, which means a lot.
On the surface, it seems that it is uniting with Friends.com to fight against the traffic of QQ. Looking deeper, it is trying to use the platform resources of Friends.com to promote the trend of online shopping.
In fact, there is a more important point, that is, Lao Ma is very afraid of the group buying model on the school network.
Among domestic e-commerce companies, there are only two good brands, one is Taobao and the other is Xiaonei.com Group Buying.
In the past year, Xiaonei.com’s group buying sales amounted to just over 300 million.
Taobao's sales are as high as 17 billion yuan.
There's no comparison.
But Xiaonei.com only targets college students across the country. If this model is moved to Friends.com, it will become a huge competitor to Taobao.
In order to nip it in the bud, we can avoid this happening by promoting cooperation between Taobao and Friends.
So Lao Ma had already made plans in his mind.
In any case, Taobao must reach in-depth strategic cooperation with Friends.com.
Seeing Boss Zhou actively seeking cooperation, Lao Ma secretly rejoiced, feeling that everything was in his plan. The only shortcoming was that Sun Tongyu's anger was not a show, he really didn't want to cooperate with Friends Network.
This made Lao Ma feel deeply disappointed. He felt that his most capable general was a little behind the times, his vision was low, and he could not keep up with the times.
But I didn't expect to hear such shocking news at this time!
Baidu wants to enter C2C business!
This is much more serious than Paipai, and even more threatening than Friends.com!
The PC era is the era of search.
Search is the largest source of traffic.
Half of the transaction volume of e-commerce comes from search. Baidu is the largest search engine in China. Calculated based on Taobao, 40% of the transaction volume is brought by Baidu. Calculated based on last year’s transaction volume of 17 billion yuan,
That’s 6.8 billion yuan!
Given Baidu's capabilities, if they enter the C2C business, the results can be imagined.
Baidu will definitely block all Taobao products, and then list the products on its own platform. Many people even log in to Taobao through Baidu, and they may jump directly to their own platform.
Taobao's traffic dropped sharply by 40%, and no one could bear it.
Zhou Buqi saw Lao Ma's shocked and incomprehensible look, and raised the corner of his mouth inadvertently, saying to himself, Lao Ma, Lao Ma, you want to use me as a winner, but I also use you as a gold mine!
Isn't it just cheating? Let's see who can outwit whom.
Zhou Buqi has an information gap that far exceeds that of this era, and he can take a leisurely stroll. "E-commerce is still in its early stages in China, so even though Taobao is the only one, it is still full of opportunities. Especially e-commerce and search have
The relationship is too close. Baidu has a search engine as a killer, which is very threatening!"
Boss Ma calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Alibaba has Yahoo!"
Zhou Buqi was amused, "Yahoo? Lao Ma, don't joke with me, okay? Believe it or not, in one month, the market share of micro-search will surpass Yahoo? The original Yahoo, after acquiring 3721, had a market share of 70
%, now only 7% is left.”
Boss Ma regained his aura and said calmly: "We use Yahoo mainly to provide search services for our own platform."
"Has it been done?" Zhou Buqi snorted, "You have bought Yahoo for more than half a year. Have you integrated it well? Have you mastered the search technology? Lao Ma, don't brag in front of me.
?”
Alibaba is really a technology desert. It even bought Yahoo, but it turned out that it couldn't understand the search technology. It wasn't until 2008 that it was integrated with Taobao.
Boss Ma's face didn't turn red and his heart stopped beating, "It's almost done."
Zhou Buqi was very amused and shook his head frequently, "Yahoo and Baidu are not on the same level at all. Old horse, it's already this time, and you're still playing tricks on me?"
"What is sloppy eye?"
"Just stop pretending!"
Boss Ma was silent for a long time, "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Buqi said slowly: "Now it's not what I want to do, but what you want to do. I've told you such business secrets, do you still need me to tell you what to do? In this case, you will be defeated by Baidu
, then there’s nothing I can do.”
Boss Ma looked at him deeply, "Is this true?"
Zhou Buqi said angrily: "You think I'm lying to you? Okay, just wait and see! The C2C industry is more complicated, and the preparation period is estimated to be one year. But after they secretly contact the supply chain, they will start preparations. You guys
You can get the news."
Boss Ma sighed, "If Baidu really enters this industry, then the domestic Internet will inevitably have a war. This is much more intense than the battle between Micropoint Antivirus and 360 Antivirus."
A war is certain.
Next year, the "Baobao War" will officially break out.
The two families blocked each other and spread rumors about each other.
Taobao said that Baidu deleted negative news related to melamine and did not give people the right to know. Baidu said that in order to please users, Taobao seriously infringed on the rights of sellers...
Zhou Buqi personally came out to talk to Lao Ma, and it was definitely not just for the sake of cooperation with Taobao.
Neither of them mentioned a word about this matter from beginning to end.
This is the most basic consensus.
Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Strike first will make you stronger, but if you strike later, you will suffer disaster!"
Boss Ma hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "How about your micro-dot search? Can it really be done?"
Zhou Buqi boasted: "It surpassed QQ in half a month, surpassed Yahoo in one month, surpassed Google in two months, and defeated Baidu in three months!"
Boss Ma laughed angrily and said, "No one can compare to you in terms of bragging ability."
Zhou Buqi looked indifferent, "Believe it or not."
Boss Ma sighed, "Hey, Baidu is at the top of the food chain. Nowadays, many netizens first search in search engines, and then follow the guidance of keyword links to find products. This will inevitably lead to control
Baidu, which accounts for half of the domestic search market, is at the top of the information retrieval food chain. Once the water source is cut off on keywords, Taobao is likely to become an information island overnight."
