Chapter 351 Late acquisition intention

Of the three carriages that Zhuo Ziyuan had longed for, only one was on board now, and the other one was almost gone. The remaining one finally had its chance.

Zhuo Ziyuan received a total of three acquisition intentions in his mailbox, not only from Baidu, but also from Yahu and Zhongsou. Baidu and Zhongsou are two search-focused companies, and Yahu is also involved in the search business.

In the second half of last year, the search market was in turmoil. Search ranking services have proven to be a successful profit model. This made the potential of the Chinese search market suddenly explode. Yahu acquired a US company in the middle of the year.

After searching for a service company, it acquired 3721.com in China, setting the target straight.

Refers to the Chinese search market, and Zhongsou was formed by the integration of two domestic search companies, one of which was a listed company in Hong Kong. Once integrated, Zhongsou began to exert its efforts, including the three major portals and other top websites. Originally, these websites used

It was Baidu search, and all of them were transformed into Zhongsou.

In such market competition, Baidu has experienced a weak situation. It originally occupied nearly 40% of the Chinese search market. However, it was caught off guard by Zhongsou and dropped by nearly several points. Following the acquisition of Yahu

The action made Baidu executives extremely nervous. With the actions of Zhongsou and Yahu,

With continuous encroachment, Baidu's market share has dropped to close to 30%. If it continues like this, whether it can maintain its number one position in the search market will really become a problem. Fortunately, the search giant Google, which has not been very popular in the domestic market, has not entered this market.

Join in the fun whenever possible, otherwise, life in Baidu will be even more difficult.

At a high-level meeting, someone proposed the acquisition of 123 Navigation Website. The reason why 123 Navigation Website came into the sight of Baidu and other companies so early was mainly because of their battle with anti-virus manufacturers last year, which made them see the value. Later, 361

was born, and there were only two download links directly named, one was the company's official website, and the other was the 123 navigation network, which introduced a wave of traffic to 123, directly allowing

The ranking of 123 Navigation Network has risen several places, from 22 to 16, occupying more than 95% of the market share of navigation websites. This simple and crude website is so overbearing that there is nothing to say. It can be said that it has a monopoly.

If you directly block other opponents in the 123 website, this may be an opportunity. Baidu boss, Robin Li, wants to give it a try and ask someone to contact the owner of the website.

None of these people understand the importance of 123. In Robin Li’s mind, there is a question mark as to how much role 123 can play in blocking other search websites, because Yahu is too famous. At this time, Yahu is still

It’s a giant. Almost all netizens don’t know Yahu’s website.

, Zhongsou has even occupied the major domestic portals. Even if there are no links on 123, there are still links to other portals on 123. These portals will still bring traffic to Zhongsou. It is impossible to remove all portals.

Then 123 will also face disaster.

Therefore, the entire Baidu senior management was not very sure about the specific role that 123 could play. With the attitude of giving it a try, Robin Li gave him a price that he thought was very reasonable, 35 million. If he knew

, Yahu gave an offer of 30 million two months ago, so he probably fainted.

Yahu looks a little embarrassed to 123. He is already the third offer. This offer has increased directly from the original 30 million to 50 million.

Du Gao, these two companies are actually a virtue with Bailu, and they are not sure how much the 123 network can play. The only difference is that Yahu and Zhongsou are to try to occupy the market share that can be occupied.

Du Ze is to curb the continued expansion of the two of them. However, the amount of Yahu is large. Qian is really not the matter for the current Yahu, so the price is the highest.

There is also a listed company behind it, and naturally it will not be stingy. Three and one comparison, but it seems that Robin Li's special little family is angry.

Zhuo Ziyuan certainly does not have other choices. He doesn't care about that small money at all. What he cares about is the big money after the future listing of Baidu. He has no hesitation and politely refuses the two companies. Then

Zhuo Ziyuan directly revealed the quotation of Yahu and Zhongsou, leaving his phone to the other party at the same time, and expressed his proposal to the interview with the other party.

The other party's email responded very quickly. In just ten minutes, it was said that they could meet on the 11th to meet on the 11th. It was just one day when the start of the school was reported.

The person who contacted Zhuo Ziyuan's email is Liu Jiping. It is the manager of Bailu Marketing Department. It can be regarded as the company's senior management. Bailu’s job is almost all of his life. Every night, I have to watch a lot of emails in the company.

With the information of the market in the market, the first time he returned to the email in Zhuo Ziyuan, he saw that the reason why he replied after ten minutes, because he saw Yahu's offer, which made him panic, panicked

On the one hand, the threat of the giant Yahu is really ubiquitous. On the other hand, this offer makes him have a headache. He is very clear about the company's business.

The quotation is not because of Robin Li Dianmen.

There are only two financing experiences in Baidu. The first 1.2 million dollars, and the second 10 million -dollar knife. It was in 2000, but in 2001 and 2002, it was completely losing money.

It was announced that it was profitable, but in fact, only they knew themselves, they could almost only achieve the balance of revenue and expenditure. In this case, a total of 11.2 million US dollars, equivalent to RMB of 90 million, two years of losses. They are now now. They are now now.

The funds on the book are less than 40 million RMB. The 3,500 hundred hundred given by Robin is already the limit. He still considers the acquisition amount provided by the premise of being profitable this year.

If he causes losses, he can only continue to find financing partners.

It is also for this reason that after Liu Jiping saw Yahu's offer, he communicated with Robin Lein as soon as possible. Robin Li was silent. He needed to think about the pros and cons. He also needed to hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss

Countermeasures, but at this time, he also paid attention to 123. He didn't feel the importance of 123 navigation networks before because he was used to it. Now when he heard that Yahu was acquiring, he immediately analyzed it if he was by Ya.

Tiger acquisition, what will Bailu face?

There is no doubt that in line with their thoughts, Yahu will not hesitate to block other professional search websites or put them in a corner where no one cares. Baidu will naturally bear the brunt. Who gives Baidu the largest market share?

So if Baidu is blocked on the navigation website, which means that it cannot get traffic from 123.com, what will be lost?

First of all, how will new netizens choose to search for websites? Will they type Baidu’s URL directly into the address bar? Do they know what Baidu’s URL is? As you can imagine, it’s difficult! In the past, you could still navigate through major portals.

The stream is now blocked by Zhongsou. If it is blocked again on the navigation webpage, it will be an almost foreseeable despair for new netizens.

You know, the current domestic Internet can be said to be in a period of rapid development, doubling a year is not a problem, which will invisibly dilute Baidu's market share. Even the existing mature Internet users, those who like Baidu

People who are in transit mode may be loyal customers, but those who find it troublesome originally just need to open the navigation

Just click on the website. Now you have to enter the URL. Some people may not even remember the URL. That will also lose some users. The more Robin Li thought about it, the more he became afraid. The more he thought about it, he felt a chill running down his spine. If this really happened,

, does Baidu really rely on its current limited users to make a living? Or does it rely on itself to outperform others?

People use better technology to attract users? But the problem is that in terms of technology, Yahu and Google are the big brothers. Can he withstand it? Of course Robin doesn't know now that Yahu will soon be lonely, and Google

They are also very unadapted to the domestic market and do not pay much attention to it. They have never been able to increase their market share. The two have no threat at all.

Threat, he only knows now that Yahu is undoubtedly the big brother of the Internet, and Google has been preparing for its listing, and has been exposed many times. Once it is successfully listed, it will go back to the Chinese market.

The situation he faced was unimaginable, so no matter what, he had to win this navigation website.

Robin Li wanted to understand and asked Liu Jiping to stabilize Zhuo Ziyuan first. After the two discussed it, they decided to set the time for the day after tomorrow. It was impossible to leave Zhuo Ziyuan alone. If the other party couldn't stand Yahu's temptation, what would happen?

That's bad.

Then Robin Li notified all the company's senior management and major shareholders overnight to hold an emergency meeting tomorrow. This is also the reason why the meeting with Zhuo Ziyuan was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. They needed a day to reach an agreement with the major shareholders.

Robin Li's idea is very simple. When comparing money, there is no need to think about it. He can't compare with Yahu and Zhongsou at all. Unless he conducts another round of financing, where can he find a capital company in a short time? And once this news leaks

Go out and wait to be exploited by capital.

Apart from comparing money, Baidu has no cards to play. They only do search. They cannot threaten the status of the navigation website at all. There is no way to put pressure on 123. KJ Antivirus is a lesson learned from the past, so the only thing left is the company's.

shares. According to convention, after a company is listed, its market value will always double several times. If you use shares as a temptation, communicate with Zhuo Ziyuan and use the market value after listing to seduce the other party in order to become an individual shareholder of the listed company.

To seduce the other party, Robin Li still doesn't believe it. If the other party can resist, can Yahu give shares? Just give as much as you can, a few tenths or a few tenths, almost no one will care, and when you enter Baidu shareholders

The group is different, at least it should be 1% and up. It is an honor to have names reflected in the future shareholding structure, because it is impossible for 123 Navigation website to be listed anyway. I believe it will be listed.

The amount should be enough.
