Rebirth 1999: Opening up the era of black technology

Baidu technician fell in love with this website immediately after looking at 11181’s comfortable page and complete website navigation links.

In addition to navigation, the most important thing about 111181 is its rich game consultation content.

The page has many game download links, as well as various modifiers and plug-in links.

Moreover, the entire download link and page are clean and refreshing.

Technicians are also game fans and will also try to find resources for game programs and plug-ins.

Most of the resources for games come from buying game discs, because in this era there are no resources online at all.

Plug-ins can be downloaded online, but one is difficult to find, and the other is that there are too many viruses. There are almost no clean and tidy websites like 11181.

11181 is not without advertisements, but the advertisements are neatly placed and not cluttered.

Sensitive whiteness technicians regard 11181 as a phenomenal product.

After discussion with the technical team, everyone immediately reported this phenomenon to the boss Li Yanhong.

Throughout this year, Baidu is still developing rapidly, and Li Yanhong is very sensitive to some things happening on the Internet.

When Li Yanhong received the 11181 situation report, his eyes lit up and he thought of two things.

The first thing is that this website is too friendly to Baidu! It actually takes the initiative to link to Baidu to give Baidu traffic.

This made Li Yanhong very happy and touched! It is very important to be recognized by the industry!

Baidu is looking for ways to gain traffic, so he has paid a lot of money to reach cooperation with some websites, allowing websites with higher traffic such as Xinlang, Netyi, and Swish to give him a friendly link.

These friendly links are paid with real money.

And the 11181 website actually took the initiative to bring traffic to itself.

At this time, Baidu's main profit point is not for ordinary users, but for a start-up company that sells technology and services to large websites. Baidu's slogan on its website is "Behind your e-success".

Li Yanhong’s business model is modeled after the American company Inktodi—a company that makes money by providing search technology for more than 100 large portals in the United States.

It's not that Baidu doesn't want to provide search services for users, but that the current conditions are simply not mature.

At this time, Baidu's popularity among users is limited. Not everyone knows Baidu and clicks to search.

In addition, Baidu has encountered a serious crisis in the past few months.

Starting in March, from the United States to China, the Internet ushered in its first "bubble" and "crash". Countless websites were closed and many domain names became "dead links."

Subsequently, most of the links provided by Baidu for search users cannot be opened, or they open the wrong version of the text, which leads to a serious crisis of trust for users in Baidu.

The stock price of Inktodi, Baidu's benchmark in the United States, fell from a high of $243 to less than $1. It was acquired by Yahoo a few days ago.

What happened to Inktodi made Li Yanhong break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, the number of large websites served by Baidu was also plummeting, and the revenue was also plummeting.

If we continue like this, Baidu may be even worse than Inktodi. Not only does it have no traffic, but it has also become a fake link professional.

The second thing, Li Yanhong was thinking, how to deal with a friendly website like 111181?

Plagiarism 11181 to serve as Baidu’s own navigation?

It is not that Li Yanhong has never had this idea before.

However, building another 11181 website at this time is not in line with Baidu's strategic positioning. Baidu's focus at this time is to stabilize the current market, optimize technology, and eliminate invalid links.

There are many well-made web pages, and Xinlang, Netyi, and Baidu did not plagiarize them, because Baidu knew at this time that in this Internet crisis, Baidu should have its own position.

What Baidu also needs at this time is friends, not enemies.

Xia Guo's current search engines are not only Baidu's, but also Google, which has a very broad market share and has not withdrawn from Xia Guo, and Yahoo, which is also interested in developing a search engine.

Li Yanhong confirmed the business strategy and said to his subordinates: "It's better to say hello to 11181 in a friendly manner and take the initiative to discuss cooperation. 11181 currently only displays Baidu links on the navigation page. Let's see if they can set up a homepage specifically for us.

Navigation bar! The price is easy to say, you can refer to the price of our cooperation with Xinlang and others."

"Also, add 11181 to our friendly links, display 11181 in the 'navigation website' search results, and pin it to the top."

Friendliness is mutual!

What Li Yanhong considers is the complementarity of 11181 and whiteness.

The technician also said: “I just downloaded the legendary plug-in from this website! It’s so useful!

"

The technician also included the plug-in developed by Chen Xiao into Baidu's search results and pinned it to the top.

At this time, everyone is considering traffic. If Baidu can continue to provide search services with high-quality content, of course it will also be able to continue to obtain traffic.

11181 and Legend Plug-in are about high-quality content and high-quality service.

[Influence +10, cumulative influence 457]

Chen Xiao has received a lot of influence!

During this period, he will receive some influence inexplicably, which shows that some products affect some people without him knowing.

This is of course a good thing.

Chen Xiao turned on the computer and received an email in Yahoo mailbox - from the Baidu technical team.

The title of the email is "Thank you letter from Baidu technical team."

In the previous life, Baidu was a rogue company in a sense, and Chen Xiao had no interest in Baidu.

The slogan "thank you" is more like a spam promotional email.

"Thank you!"

Chen Xiao didn't even read it, thinking it was some spam promotion email, so she threw Baidu's thank you email and some other spam emails into the trash can, and clicked to clear them completely.

Complete cleaning is Chen Xiao's mysophobia.

He looked at the time and saw that his father should be back from Jiangyang today.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Qiang took the last bus back home from Jiangzhou.

After De'Longhi Electronics was split into two, most of the workers in the factory were resettled, either by ADLINK, Zhongjing or Jiangzhou Machinery Factory.

Because of Chen Xiao's relationship, Zhou Linghua asked Chen Qiang to join Linghua as a manager.

But perhaps due to the negligence of ZF staff, Chen Qiang was assigned to Jiangzhou Machinery Factory, and then he was randomly assigned to Jiangcheng Branch by Jiangzhou Machinery Factory.

After wandering around for a while, I finally came back.

No, Chen Qiang is worried about this matter.

Chen Xiao made Chen Qiang a glass of water and said, "Dad, I have a small project here, and the benefits should be pretty good. What I mean is, why don't you go out and work alone instead of working in the factory."

After Chen Xiao applied for a patent and got the top score in the province in the college entrance examination, Chen Qiang no longer regarded Chen Xiao as a child who talked nonsense.

Chen Qiang said: "What project, what exactly does it do."

Chen Xiao explained the matter of selling Internet cafe card readers and cards in the simplest language. Chen Qiang listened and lit another cigarette.

His eyes seemed to be troubled for a long time, and he never gave an answer.
