Since 2000 - VChapter 98: : deep understanding
There are frequent big moves in the Internet market, and the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, but what is surprising is that Zhou Hongyi, who entered Yahoo China, seems a little low-key.
However, Zhou Hongyi is not a quiet person, maybe he is brewing some big move.
After accepting Yisou’s section, Baidu quickly expanded its influence and quickly gained a firm foothold in the market.
With traffic drainage, Li Yanhong felt that the world seemed to have turned into a fairy tale world. The traffic of 168 combined with Baidu’s technology was a match made in heaven. He had never been so confident.
Tencent’s portal has finally been launched. As Ma Huateng expected, Tencent’s content quickly seized a large number of markets once it was launched. Now Tencent is increasingly competing with the three major portals.
Ma Huateng now finally clearly recognizes his own strength, and is more firm in his goals.
Ma Yun launched a new payment platform, Alipay, shortly after returning to Hangzhou.
Stimulated by this new payment method, Taobao’s performance has been rising steadily.
Guangshang Real Estate has also successfully established a firm foothold in the municipal market, and is preparing to enter the provincial capital in 2004.
2003 just passed away.
Looking at the thriving sectors in which he holds shares, Lin Feng enjoyed it.
It’s time to lie down and win.
If money is a measure of a person’s success, then Lin Feng is undoubtedly the most successful.
Zhou Hongyi had always thought this way before.
After selling the sky-high price of 3721 to Yahoo, Zhou Hongyi once considered herself a successful member.
The life of a billionaire and the leader of a huge corporation is what many people dream of.
But Zhou Hongyi has now tasted the bitter fruit that he sowed.
After taking over Yahoo China, Zhou Hongyi has not made any big moves.
Although 3721 integrates Yahoo’s search technology, its performance in the search market is still unsatisfactory.
“Why is this?” Zhou Hongyi was puzzled.
According to reason, he should be able to quickly gain an advantage in the market, but why is there such a big gap with his own ideas?
Zhou Hongyi attributed the reason to the previous positioning of 3721 and Yahoo in the minds of netizens.
3721 has always been positioned as a Chinese online website, and Yahoo has always been a content portal.
Although they all have search experience later, their previous inherent impressions have long been ingrained in netizens. No matter how good your search technology is later, those previous inherent thinking will still make people think that you are not a professional search company. .
Thinking of Lin Feng’s previous experience of registering for ‘Yi So’, Zhou Hongyi seemed to feel that he had found the key.
Lin Feng didn’t use the loud signboard of 168, but registered a brand new brand. At that time, Zhou Hongyi still laughed at each other in his heart, but now it seems that this little fox has a far-reaching vision.
Zhou Hongyi had the same idea in her heart.
Although 3721 and Yahoo’s brand names are loud, but if he wants to open up in the Chinese search market, perhaps he has to build a brand new brand.
Just what to name it?
“Second search?” As soon as the name appeared, it was immediately rejected by Zhou Hongyi.
Mother drop a slap, Zhou Hongyi feels that she is always unconsciously influenced by Lin Feng, even when she chooses a name.
Zhou Hongyi and Qi Xiangdong, who is now the vice president of Yahoo China, discussed for a long time, and finally they chose a catchy name, Soso.
According to Zhou Hongyi’s character, since it’s decided, just do it.
But things were not as simple as he thought.
The application for the development of a new search brand has been submitted to the United States for a week, but it has not been written down for a long time, which makes Lao Zhou, who has always been vigorous and resolute, a little annoyed.
In fact, it’s not just this matter. During the days when he took over Yahoo Huaxia, Zhou Hongyi was dissatisfied with Yahoo’s cumbersome and lengthy office process.
The Internet is ever-changing, and opportunities are fleeting. If everything has such a long process, it is bound to miss a lot of opportunities.
This seems unbearable to Zhou Hongyi, especially under the pressure brought by the merger of Baidu and Yisou.
The opponent has become stronger and stronger. If he doesn’t chase after him, when will his search dream come true?
“Has the United States responded?” Zhou Hongyi asked again.
Qi Xiangdong shook his head with a wry smile.
“Mom, you can’t decide anything for a week?” Zhou Hongyi patted the table in front of her.
Qi Xiangdong looked at the furious Zhou Hongyi and smiled bitterly.
Before joining Yahoo, they had great admiration and longing for this giant company.
But after really getting to know the company, they found that the other party also had many problems.
No wonder Yahoo Huaxia has been unable to open up the situation in Huaxia before. If you don’t say anything else, just say this office process, and let them be restrained everywhere.
It’s not bad to pay attention to the process, but maybe this is not suitable for the current Huaxia market. Those high-level personnel who have not even been to Huaxia in the United States~www.mtlnovel.com~ They only like to watch those beautiful PPT, and never care about it The underlying situation and aspirations.
Zhou Hongyi painfully pressed his temple.
After accepting Yahoo Huaxia, he was full of pride, but the reality gave him a head-on blow.
“No, we can’t sit still like this.” Zhou Hongyi murmured.
“Old Qi, let’s go to the United States.” Zhou Hongyi suddenly raised her head and said.
“Ah?” Qi Xiangdong said in surprise, “It’s going to be Chinese New Year soon.”
Zhou Hongyi shook his head stubbornly.
“We can’t wait any longer.”
Qi Xiangdong hurriedly arranged for someone to order a plane ticket to the United States, and Zhou Hongyi stared out the window in a daze.
In just a few months, he began to wonder if selling the 3721 was the right thing to do.
Perhaps, he had misunderstood the definition of success before.
He now regrets giving up control of the company.
A company that is not under its control, is it still called its own company?
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help thinking of his little fellow Lin Feng.
Lin Feng can be said to be brilliant now. He holds shares in several large companies, but he may only be able to control only 168, and even Baidu is facing the danger of losing control.
“That kid may be complacent right now, but only what is firmly in his hands belongs to him. He is at best an investor, and in the end he made a wedding dress for others.”
Zhou Hongyi muttered to himself.
Only after going through some difficult choices and experiences can people always understand some profound truths.
It’s just that those truths are accompanied by these Xu regrets.
