Reinventing the Millennium

The proceedings of this big-name meeting at the end of March were subtle and interesting.

Fang Zhuo really didn't expect to be inspired by such a serious and joking theme.

Seriously like Alibaba, Baidu, Suning, Youku Tudou, jokingly like... this, this is always a joke.

Unlike Suning and Youku Tudou, as the head of the booming Baidu, Li Yanhong raised Yike in public with more weight than others.

However, there was nothing reprehensible in what he said. On the contrary, it made sense.

"Previously Mr. Fang invested in Sogou and regarded Baidu as a competitor. To be honest, I didn't care too much at that time, but facts have proved that Mr. Fang was serious."

"The mobile Internet is developing too fast, and Sogou is also developing too fast."

"Fortunately, it seems it's not too late."

Li Yanhong mentioned the past in a graceful manner. It was Mr. Fang who made the first move, and this time the so-called "just do Yike" was just a boomerang.

He continued: "In the business field, a hundred flowers should bloom. I believe that everyone's interaction can bring about healthy competition."

Fang Zhuo couldn't help but turned his head and said to Ma Ren: "You have finished talking."

"We didn't communicate in advance." Ma Chen replied, "Everyone spontaneously paid tribute to Yike."

He also didn't expect that his appeal would be so strong.

In other words, the development of Yike is indeed very eye-catching, and the business collision between giants is gradually intensifying, and this is especially the case with Yike. For example, the competition between Yike and Penguin took more than a year to complete, but Penguin The impact of that core business failure still feels like lightning.

I thought that Yike was sending a vanguard force, but in the end, he actually killed the general and captured the flag, causing the penguin to retreat.

Ma Ren glanced at Mr. Fang who was listening carefully to his speech, and felt that this was the feedback brought about by the way he and Yike had always done things. After fighting all the way over the years, seeing other companies in front of him, he had to listen. Bar?

Naturally, the head of Baidu took the stage not only to talk about the competition with Yike, but also to talk about their observations on the mobile Internet. Today, the market share of mobile search has shown a general outline, and Baidu still occupies the first place with 35.6 %, but the development momentum of latecomers such as Yisou, Sogou and even 360 is very strong.

Although Yisou ranks second, data from the past two quarters show that its policy of sinking the market over the years is gradually failing, and nearly 30% of the market is being continuously eroded by companies such as Sogou, 360, and Youdao.

The one that Baidu attaches most importance to is Sogou.

From the Internet to the mobile Internet, in addition to user usage habits, there is also a more subtle change in the entrance method, and the importance of default search on the hardware side is increasing day by day.

Unfortunately, Sogou has completed cooperation with Yike YMS manufacturers.

Baidu issued a clear warning at its first high-level meeting after returning from the Spring Festival holiday - don't become the second penguin!

Was Penguin's core business not solid before? Didn’t the penguins put up a fight?

The development of smart phones is getting more and more fierce, why does the situation suddenly feel a bit shocking?

Li Yanhong stood on the stage and talked about the development of mobile Internet, no longer mentioning Yike, but everyone in the audience felt that it was more targeted.

When it comes to the development of mobile Internet, Yike has played a very important role in it in recent years.

Ma Chen saw that the face of the person next to him became a little solemn, and couldn't help but ask: "What shall we say when we get to the stage later? Are you sweating?"

"I'm not Pony." Fang Zhuo replied.

Ma Ren almost laughed out loud when he saw Ma Huateng who was also listening attentively not far away.

After Li Yanhong finished his speech, several other companies that had emerged in recent years took the stage. They did not mention Yike. However, when the vice president of Fetion came on stage and joined in the fun, Ma Chen noticed that there was probably a sneer on Mr. Fang's face. .

Is this person still angry? In other words, was he annoyed?

Ma Chen was thinking about such a joint attack, and believed that there was still a lack of key competition. Yike's mobile phone business was too strong in the country, and the gradually expanding cloud computing business seemed to bring new vitality.

Not to mention the spread of Yixin in the field of mobile communications today.

Judging from the current situation, in the case of Yixin, Penguin, needless to say, is still trying to regain its market position. Fetion is also eager to try, and in the e-commerce field, Tmall and Suning are attacking Tesco, which has enough weight.

In the field of search, Baidu itself is the number one in the market. After mentioning the importance of Sogou, it has the advantage.

In map navigation, Amap is temporarily leading, but this is a market that continues to invest, and strategic planning is also very important.

Ma Chen's thoughts turned around, and he thought about the cloud computing that Alibaba will slowly launch this year. This is slower than Yike, but better than others in the country, and it seems that it also needs to catch up with the competition.

Domestic competition will still be very lively this year.

Ma 伝 likes this kind of excitement.

He heard the host on the stage starting to introduce Mr. Fang, and sat up a little straighter, intending to listen to see if there was any new excitement.

Although Yi Ke felt a bit under siege today, as Fang Zhuo stood up, the scene still burst into warm applause.

He walked onto the stage of the Yike Center, picked up the microphone, and looked around at people with different meanings. Without saying hello, he said directly: "Those are my words."

There was a little laughter at the scene.

There is no need to explain this sentence very clearly, everyone knows it.

Fang Zhuo waited until the laughter ended before continuing to speak, and said easily: "When I heard everyone's laughter, I felt relieved."

"If the audience is silent when I speak, and everyone glares at me and wants to come up and punch me twice, then I really have to go back and review what Yike has done over the years."

"It seems fine now. Now it's just Alibaba, the number one e-commerce company, that wants to hit us, Baidu, the number one search engine, wants to hit us, Suning, the number one home appliance chain, wants to hit us, and Youku Tudou, the number one online video player, wants to hit us. We, those whose names I didn’t mention later, can reflect on our own.”

There was laughter again.

Fang Zhuo looked like he was about to continue speaking but then stopped, looking at the first row: "'Just do Yike'. It doesn't matter if others laugh at this, why is Pony laughing too?"

Ma Huateng's expression froze, "Don't judge me, we are not familiar with each other."

The laughter at the scene became even louder. The last victim who “just did it” finally made contact in today’s meeting.

"I was sitting below just now. When I listened to everyone's competitive goals, I thought that Yike occupied the first place in various markets. Fortunately, not bad. Now it's just that Yike's development is good and it has not reached that point." Fang Zhuo It pointed out that the reality of "just do Yike" is lacking. The current competition is just stirred up by Ali.

He continued: "I agree very much with what Robin said just now. In the business field, it is best for all schools of thought to flourish. What Yike has always advocated is to maintain progress."

"With the increase in the size, scale and capabilities of Yike, the term 'maintain progress' has taken on a new meaning. We hope that not only Yike itself will keep making progress, but we also hope that we can provide services that allow others to keep improving as well. A boost to progress.”

"So, Yike established the YWS business group to provide cloud services to more small and medium-sized enterprises and reduce everyone's operating costs."

"So, Yike has built a YMS system ecosystem, which not only provides consumers with a better mobile phone experience, but also helps friends to make better products."

"Of course, there are also some patent-related actions. These are things that Yike is doing overseas, so I won't go into details here."

Fang Zhuo came to power and believed that it was necessary to give some explanations to avoid causing more trouble in public opinion. The two business groups of YWS and YMS can definitely stand.

The domestic development of YWS is still shallow, but YMS has made a lot of contributions in stimulating the maturity of the domestic industrial chain. This can be discussed at length.

Now it is the No. 1 players on each track who come to besiege Yike, and Yike has also essentially built a platform for common progress.

Of course, as a commercial company, Yike's actions also follow the operating logic of profit and profit. They are not free of charge. In the process, there are also small deviations such as having to increase investment in AutoNavi.

But overall, it's still okay.

Fang Zhuo's words to save Yike from being besieged were recognized by most people present.

Unlike 1.0's Just Work Penguin, this time Yike is more of a collision with the giant's business. Even Youku Tudou, which has not been listed for a long time, is also the No. 1 market after the merger of the two listed companies.

When giants collide, everyone can just watch the excitement.

"But, in the new economic era, the new era means that we must not be afraid of competition. Yike welcomes everyone's competition. Without competition, there will be no progress." Fang Zhuo smiled, "If Yike was afraid of competition, it would not be where it is today. "

He stuck to the theme of today's business conference and talked about the competition and challenges in the new era.

If it comes from his heart, Fang Zhuo actually wants to talk about the ice core that has been challenged by the recent changes in the situation, but it is not appropriate to say more, it still depends on the hard work and accumulation behind the scenes.

As for the siege faced by the Yi Ke team, he felt that it was more like 1V1V1V1 than 1Vn, and the situation was not that bad.

As Mr. Fang began to talk about things that were more likely to be reported by the official media, many people in the audience began to think about what they had just heard. Mr. Fang’s meaning was quite clear. It was not Yike’s business, but Yike was not afraid of getting into trouble. If you want to do it, come and do it.

After a while, Fang Zhuo ended his speech with "Let a hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend, face challenges head-on, and make progress together."

This polite response actually made the instigator give a thumbs up.

"It has to be Mr. Fang." Ma Ren said with a smile, "Then we won't be polite."

"How do you want to be polite?" Fang Zhuo heard something different from before.

Ma Chen smiled and said nothing, and did not answer this direct question.

When he was listening to Mr. Fang's speech just now, he received a text message from Zhang Jindong, who was also at the meeting, asking to have a chat after the meeting was over. It felt like his goal was very clear.

Mr. Fang actually slightly changed the concept on stage. Although Alibaba is number one in the e-commerce field, when it comes to the B2C track, Tesco still ranks first.

Now Tmall and Suning are aiming at this area, and the challenge is to be number one.

Also because Tesco is in front, Tmall and Suning may be able to reach a certain degree of cooperation.

Ma Chen reviewed the situation in his mind in a short time and believed that Zhang Jindong's possible invitation would be mutually beneficial. If there was a common goal, he could even learn from the original Tesco.

In order to combat Gome's transformation, Tesco united with a number of home appliance chain brands such as Suning and Five Star, and borrowed their offline channels to a certain extent.

Now you can also try Tmall. Suning has more than 1,600 stores across the country, which is an extremely rich resource for cooperation.

Ma Chen had expectations in his heart. When he came to power, the head of Alibaba who was the first to propose "just do Yike" did not hype this trend, but focused on the development of technology and finance in the new era.

He completely solved the hidden dangers of Alipay last year and is very enthusiastic about the role of electronic payment in the financial field.

The speeches of all the guests today ended with the leader’s summary, and after this session there were free questions from some media reporters.

This meeting is still very interesting. In addition to the besieged Yike, emerging Internet forces such as Youku Tudou and LeTV appear to be very viable.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, what do you think about 'Just Qian Yike'?" The reporter couldn't help but ask Fang Zhuo, a person involved in the popular incident.

Fang Zhuo noticed that many people's ears perked up and said with a smile: "My wishes won't work if I say them."

Reporters and guests were stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Fang, will there be any changes in Yike's development this year?" The reporter asked a more realistic question.

"As I said on stage, Yike will put more effort into the cloud business this year. As for other things, soldiers will come to stop it, and water will come to cover it. We don't know what the competition situation will be, but the mentality is good. Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "Oh, yes, I personally hope that the development of smartphones can be further accelerated so that more groups can use smartphones. We are exploring the possibility of further cooperation with operators. The capabilities they can exert are Very strong."

He was referring to the development of entry-level phones such as Kesheng.

On the other side, OPPO Chen Mingyong, who was paying close attention to Mr. Fang’s Q\u0026A, was shocked. He was unsure whether the industry leader was going to stir up a new turmoil in its core business.

This time OPPO cooperated with Baidu as the default engine. In fact, the benefits were not particularly large. At first, I did not expect that there would be such a thing as "just do Yike", and I did not expect that Baidu would directly announce its entry.

Last year, OPPO obtained Qualcomm's flagship chip, but the product was released early and shipped late, resulting in a mediocre response. This year, OPPO may face greater competitive pressure.

Fang Zhuo answered several questions in a row. Seeing that the reporter had no intention of ending, he had to refuse and said with a smile: "Okay, that's all for me. I have to stay up all night to think about how to face everyone's competition when I go back. Don't you be afraid of big trouble?" , I... although I’m not afraid, I still have to study the movements of my friends and businessmen one by one.”

Friends and businessmen were very enthusiastic, and Yike Department also had to give a strong response.
