Chapter 1592 Heaven is good for reincarnation

This interview with Lu Weima made both Google and Baidu search companies very dissatisfied. After all, no one who is accused of being a villain will feel comfortable.

Baidu also accepted an exclusive interview. Boss Li, who has always been elegant, faced with the seriousness of the media, claiming that this is the biggest crisis since Baidu was founded, but he will never surrender. He made a passionate statement and told Baidu that there is still the outside world that Baidu will have to make every effort this time.

Baidu, which is facing a great enemy, feels a bit desperate this time. Once it can't stand this time, Boss Li knows that Baidu will completely disappear into the long river of history, just like those opponents of Chu Ke's previous technology.

For a time, the entire search industry was full of verbal wars. Bing Search, Baidu, and Google, which entered the market later, and the public relations departments of the three companies, spent money everywhere to invite media and big Vs to express their opinions. The largest verbal war in the history of the entire Internet industry was accusing the other party of being a messenger in the search industry and that they were the just side, wanting to win the support of public opinion and users.

And these are just the beginning, just like two armies fighting and sending forwards to test each other, the same is true for the search industry now.

The previous confrontation between Bing and Baidu's ground push team members was just a microcosm of temptation. As the rumors of Bing search online became more and more intense, what changed was the continuous decline in search advertising prices!

One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. Before, when Baidu, Google and Yahoo compete for the domestic search market, the search advertising prices continued to fall, and finally killed Yahoo, Baidu and Google's advertising unit prices began to increase by a part.

Now that Bing Search has entered the market, the advertising prices of the entire search industry have been reduced in a blood-spread manner, and the advertising prices of some categories have dropped by more than 30%!

The tension in the entire search industry has begun to spread? From promotion to public opinion to advertising prices? The influence of Bing Search is fully reflected? Before the official move has been made, the entire search industry has been stirred up in turmoil.

Stock prices are the thing that best reflects the dynamics of an industry. With Chuke Technology and Microsoft's repeated statements, we should support Bing search to compete for the search industry. On the Nasdaq, the stock price of the search industry represented by Baidu and Google, has plummeted? The listing plan of ASK, the fourth largest search engine in North America, which is seeking listing, was directly stopped by Wall Street institutions.

With the current situation of fighting against gods in the search industry, it accounts for nearly 10% of the search engine market in North America, which is comparable to AOL's search market.

But the emergence of Bing Search? The first unlucky one is small search engines like ASK and AOL? When Bing Search was not around, ASK could not compete with Google or Yahoo. It would be strange if ASK would not have a bloody collapse when Bing appeared. No investor is willing to invest in such a company that is obviously a scam? Obviously buying is a trap, and you will never be able to get rid of the trap in your life...

The search industry is turbulent? Yahoo is not talking about it. Microsoft's withdrawal of the acquisition? It will make Yahoo not slow down this year.

But even a giant like Google, which is winning the search industry, can't bear it? Wall Street's latest estimate for Google? Its performance plummeted by more than 28% next year? It made Google's management very worried. Although it repeatedly guaranteed that Google would not be affected by Bing search, Google has absolute confidence to maintain its position in the search industry.

But investment institutions didn't care about that, and began to reduce their holdings in Google's stock, so that Google's stock price actually fell continuously. Even in order to express their determination, Google announced that several major shareholders would not cash out next year and launched a repurchase plan, it still didn't work.

At Google Mountain View headquarters, a meeting is being held. The head of the technical department is reporting on the "Google Map Satellite" to the "Godfather" president Schmidt. Larry Page, Sergey and other executives are also present, but everyone is full of seriousness, which makes the technicians who are reporting feel a little overwhelmed.

"The Earth Eye 1 satellite, which we cooperate with Houston Commercial Satellite, will be launched today. This will be the highest resolution commercial satellite, capable of transmitting 50 cm of high-definition pictures to the ground."

The head of Google's technology department, looking at the increasingly solemn executives, said with a tough look, "In addition to being able to transmit 1.65 meters of color resolution to collect images, this satellite can also provide Google Maps with a target position within a range of 3 meters!"

This should have been something to be happy about. Google was able to provide the top map services to countless users around the world, becoming the leader in this field, and then its stock price soared.

But on the contrary, the stock price not only did not rise, but it was still falling and there was no joy. The concept of searching for maps was first proposed by the damn Bing Search. Even if Bing Search has not even been developed, the outside world subconsciously believes that this is Bing Search's strength.

"This satellite is not only serving Google, but also providing services to Bing Search!" Schmidt said to the person in front of him.

The technician asked by Schmidt was full of embarrassment. He wanted to get exclusive cooperation, or even pay a high price to buy out the commercial operation rights of this Earth Eye, but Microsoft and Chu Ke were not short of money on the opposite side.

Besides, the cost of this satellite is more than 500 million US dollars, which is not counting the subsequent annual usage and maintenance costs. If you don’t sell a few more, the satellite company may have to lose money, unless Google can buy this satellite at a high price, but this is too unprofitable. Believe it or not, Google just bought it, and Microsoft then joined hands with the satellite company to launch an identical satellite!

It cost a lot of money to develop this satellite, but after mastering the technology, it would be easy to say that one of them was exactly the same.

"Now, Bing Map has proposed the concept of Bing global and Bing street scenes. Through the virtual earth in the Bing Map, you can browse high-definition satellite images from all over the world and see real street scenes in various regions. When will Google Map achieve these?"

Sergey, who was in charge of Google's technology department, couldn't suppress his anger at this time. In the past, Google led the technology, and then a number of companies caught up, making other companies look old.

When encountering Bing Search, new concepts continue to appear, first Bing map, then Bing Global and Bing Street View and other new concepts. A map navigation function is almost played by the other party, which makes Google feel very uncomfortable.

I originally thought that these functions could be realized over the satellite, but who knew it seemed to be useless. This made Sergey a little dissatisfied, let alone Google's critical moment.

Hearing Sergei's words, the person in charge of Google's technical department was also very helpless. "The so-called street view map of Bing map is actually not a real-time map, but needs to be photographed by a dedicated street view vehicle, and then converted into a 360-degree real-life photo shoot for users."

"Even Bing is just a concept. To realize this function, you have to collect videos for a while. Even if you collect California street scenes, it will take at least 17 months to complete!"

The technical person in charge said gritting his teeth that it would be comfortable to let the Bing map go, but to realize this function, you have to collect street scenes around the world. To realize this function, you need to invest a lot of money and manpower. The update is basically only half a year before the satellite map can be updated, otherwise there will be no satellite resources available!

Hearing this, Schmidt waved his hand and asked the others to leave, leaving only Google's troika in the conference room.

"Bing search is a foregone conclusion, and now is not the time to consider other things." Schmidt looked at Larry Page in front of him, Sergey and the other two. Schmidt had already made a retirement plan and gradually withdrew from Google in the next few years and handed over Google's management to these two founders.

But who would have thought that a Bing search came out halfway, and behind it was Microsoft and Chuke, the two technology giants, who were obviously planning to join forces to work on Google.

Larry Page also understands that Google and Microsoft and Chuko are already mortal enemies. In the past few years, Google has caused trouble to both sides, such as launching PC desktop tools, teasing Microsoft, preparing to launch Google Chrome, replacing Microsoft IE browser, acquiring office software companies, launching free office software, etc. Anyway, it has a lot of disgusting Microsoft.

As for Chuke Technology, there is no need to mention it. After several large-scale acquisitions by Chuke Technology, Google has acted as a messenger. The acquisition of Skype has cost Chuke Technology at least 200 million US dollars, and has not yet obtained the absolute controlling stake in Skype.

When it was Youtube's turn, he tried hard to raise the price, so he made a startup company that had been established for more than ten months and sold it to a sky-high price of 1.6 billion US dollars. There are rumors that Google actually wanted to compete with Chuko for the Android system. These things made Chuko and Microsoft hate Google, a messenger.

The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will the heaven spare? Google has been causing trouble for Chu Ke and Microsoft a few years ago. Now the two companies have freed up their hands. They must be planning to beat Google into the shit and let Google be considered the loss of both companies in one breath!

"Now there is news that Chuko and Microsoft are making the Internet industry choose one of three, either Google, Yahoo, or Bing search!"

Schmidt said with a bad look. What he feared most was that Microsoft used the means to deal with Netscape browser to deal with Google, so that Bing search could be bound to Microsoft's system, so Google would have to stop.

"The most important thing now is that Microsoft and Chuko cannot set up monopoly competition with Google, allowing Bing Search to bind the products of the two companies, and rejecting Google search!" Schmidt said. Although he knew that the two sides must use similar means, Google cannot sit still, such as allowing IE browser to bind Bing Search, and cannot use Google.

Larry Page and Sergei also nodded. How could they not worry about this period of time? When it comes to being hooligans, Google is really not as good as Microsoft and Chuko. These two companies are really shameless. Which opponent can really bear it?
