Top of the big era

Baidu blocks competitors' content, but Google doesn't. Quite the contrary, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Google will be eager to help in this regard.

In the next few years, Google's domestic market share will gradually increase.

Baidu accounts for 60% and Google accounts for 30%.

Although it can't shake Baidu's dominance, it is also a leader in this market.

Baidu is a popular product, and it cannot search for too advanced content, and some content that violates national policies will also be blocked. The more popular the product, the more it can solve some daily trivialities, and the more user groups it faces.

The content in Google search is very unfriendly to many users. In particular, Google is restricted by policies and regulations, and is controlled by the telecommunications department. It often suffers from webpage crashes, freezes, slow buffering, etc. The user experience is not as good as Baidu.

So, what kind of person uses Google?

That is, those users who are willing to search for more valuable information are often college students, white-collar workers, etc., which highly overlap with the market user group positioning of the high-end knowledge platform.

After a few years, Google will completely withdraw from China... That is already the era of the mobile Internet.

Search is no longer a necessity for surfing the web.

From this point of view, Zhou Buqi's previous worries seemed to be less serious.

With Google search as a buffer period, it is indeed a relatively smooth transition.

However, there is one more problem.

Now Ziweixing Technology has launched a package of cooperation with Microsoft. The cooperation period is two years, from June 2005 to June 2007.

That means that before June 2007, Ziwei Star could not carry out in-depth strategic cooperation with Google.

In any case, everyone's active discussion erased the cloud in Zhou Buqi's heart and saw hope.

Therefore, Zhou Buqi finally made a summary——

"Do the data search business first, within half a year, I want to see that this project is stable..."

"Wait until the second half of next year, and then launch the knowledge sharing platform. Well, as Haoyang said, there can be data and document searches, Q\u0026A communities, encyclopedias, and even more knowledge sharing services in the future... ..."

"It will take 8-10 months to enrich the content of the question-and-answer community and prepare the encyclopedia. When the cooperation period with Microsoft is over, we will switch to cooperation with Google. At that time, Google's layout in China has already It is basically completed, and it is time to compete with Baidu to grab market share, this is our opportunity!"

Afterwards, Zhou Buqi looked around everyone and said with a smile: "Of course, the Internet has changed too much. What will happen in a year or two... No one can say for sure. Maybe by then the brand of Weidian will have already made a name for itself. , Micropoint Navigation and Micropoint Search have already been produced. Maybe our Micropoint Search has a much higher market share than Google.”

Everyone laughed.

Boss Zhou, you really know how to joke!

"By the way, if we want to make this knowledge platform...what's it called?" Guo Pengfei blinked and asked suddenly.

Ji Zian looked up at him.

There has long been an argument that it is the business of Dongfang Weidian.

Wang Haoyang was also a little displeased, and said lightly: "In the future, if we want to do micro-point search, it is natural to use the current data search project as the team. It is in the same line, and it should be called micro-data search. As for the knowledge sharing platform, it can be called micro-data search. Click Q\u0026A, the encyclopedia business is called Weidian Baike.”

Guo Pengfei didn't care about his face, and immediately stated: "I don't think it's good! Weidian is doing Weidian Security Guard and Weidian Search. These are popular brands, and now they suddenly enter the security market, and they will definitely be subject to competition. Smearing by opponents. A knowledge platform brand must be clean, with high positioning and high grade.”

This sentence attracted Zhang Yiming's approval, "The Weidian brand is indeed not suitable for knowledge platforms."

Wang Haoyang became anxious, "Weidian is a soon-to-be-successful Internet brand visible to the naked eye. It's a pity not to use it? If you don't use Weidian, why use it? You can't use the two brands of 'Xiaonei' and 'Friends', right? what?"

Guo Pengfei frowned, and said calmly: "Then we can create another brand! With the recommendation ability of Xiaonei, as long as it is aimed at university campuses, as long as the product is good enough, it is not afraid that it will fail."

Wang Haoyang was dumbfounded immediately.

In front of this Xiaonei tycoon, he really didn't know what to say.

Didn't Dongfang Micropoint achieve its success today because of the channel capability of Xiaonei?

"Boss Zhou..."

"Ahem, don't use this title in the future. The company will issue a document prohibiting the use of titles such as boss, president, vice president, brother, and sister. It must be declassified and respect the principle of getting along with each other on an equal footing." Zhou Buqi interrupted over him.

Wang Haoyang was stunned again, "What's that called?"

"Just call me by my name."

"Oh, Zhou... Zhou Buqi, ahem... During this period of time, I have worked hard and recruited many former Sina colleagues..."

"No one will obliterate your credit." Zhou Buqi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and looked at Guo Pengfei amusedly, "I feel like you have an idea, so just say it? It is very suitable for a knowledge sharing platform, which requires a literary and elegant name, just like Douban."

Guo Pengfei said: "If it's called a micro-point knowledge platform, doesn't that mean less knowledge platform? From this point of view, micro-point knowledge is not suitable either. However, I think we can learn from the four words 'micro-point knowledge'." , extracted and refined."

Ji Zian's eyes lit up, and he immediately blurted out: "Weizhi?"

"That's right, Weizhiwang."

"Micro-knowledge...unknown, known, so-called, only wisdom. Well, it really has a charm."

"It's called micro-knowledge, um, it's good."

"Small knowledge also has the profound meaning of small words."

"Micro-knowledge is micro-knowledge. Unlike reading a heavy book, what is advocated here is knowledge sharing in a shorter space, which is very suitable."

Hearing everyone's praise, Guo Pengfei couldn't hide his joy, and said with a smile: "Not only that, a little knowledge is also a kind of modest speech, which means that you understand a little bit. You can put out a slogan like this-"Do you know? Little knowledge." It expresses Humility also shows the self-cultivation and pursuit of this platform."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help joking, "You can change it to 'Zhihu? Weizhi.' It has more ancient charm, and it tastes better."

Soon, this proposal was approved by everyone present.

Except Wang Haoyang.

Rao is quite open-minded, and at this moment he is also a little uneasy.

He worked so hard that he summoned all his old colleagues, and specially invited Cheng Binghao, a technical expert... In the end, he made wedding dresses for others?

If Weizhiwang is really established, it will definitely be separated from Dongfang Weidian.

Zhou Buqi took a deep look at him, "Weizhi.com will be discussed next year. You will lead the team to complete the data search project first. I will find a way to get the domain name."

The word Weizhi, judging from the Chinese characters, no one should register this domain name.

However, "Weizhi" is homonymous with words such as "unknown" and "location". These two words are commonly used words, and they will definitely not be missed by those who hold the Xinhua dictionary to find phrases and register domain names.

...

At around 8 o'clock that night, Zhou Buqi was still on Friends.com, exchanging ideas on social web games.

Then, he got a surprising call.

"Charles?"

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Zhang Chaoyang.

"Xiao Zhou, are you busy?" Zhang Chaoyang's voice was very noisy, and the music was loud, so he couldn't hear his voice clearly.

Zhou Buqi hurriedly said: "It's okay, what's the matter?"

Zhang Chaoyang said loudly: "I'm singing at the KTV here at China World Trade Center. I'm a member of the circle. If I have time, come over and have fun? Let me get to know you."

As neighbors of Sohu Building in the future, the two often exchange emails.

"now?"

"inconvenient?"

"No problem, I'll go right away!"

Zhou Buqi agreed without much hesitation.

Call the driver and rush to Guomao.

It's expensive here.

As soon as Zhou Buqi got out of the car, a male waiter came over with a charming smile and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhou?"

"Um."

"Mr. Zhang asked me to show you the way."

It seems that Zhang Chaoyang is a regular customer here.

I got on the elevator and went to the 8th floor. When the elevator door opened, I almost went blind.

What a rich gold decoration style!

Standing in two rows were young women in red cheongsams, neatly looking like stewardesses, with a crisp voice like birdsong: "Welcome."

The overall atmosphere is relatively clean.

It is completely different from the miasma in the sky and on earth. In Heaven and Earth, as soon as you walk in the corridor and look at the waitresses wearing transparent hollow skirts, you know it is an informal place.

The waitresses here are much more elegant.

After walking a long way, I arrived at the innermost luxury private room.

A heart-piercing howl was heard in the distance.

I don't know which big guy is showing off his singing skills.

Open the door and see, ho!

Sure enough, they are acquaintances!

The one who sang with a microphone was Zhou Hongyi, who had just resigned from Yahoo China.

The house is full of old men.

Not even a singing lady.

Zhang Chaoyang's eyes lit up, he stood up immediately, took a book-like video-on-demand remote control, pressed the pause button, then snatched the microphone from Zhou Hongyi's hand, pulled Zhou Buwei, and introduced: "Okay, I Let me introduce to you, this kid is called Zhou Buqi, and he is still a college student, freshman this year..."

"No, sophomore!"

"Oh, yes, I'm a sophomore this year. Others may not be familiar with it, Lao Chen, you must know it?"

Zhang Chaoyang glanced at a chubby guy.

The guy didn't know each other very well.

It was Chen Yizhou, the boss of Thousand Oaks Interactive, who was the vice president of Sohu back then and Zhang Chaoyang's subordinate.

Chen Yizhou showed a very friendly smile, without the embarrassment of meeting enemies at all.

After all, it is a big boss, this city government still has it.

Next, Zhang Chaoyang continued to introduce: "The name Zhou Buqi may still be a little unfamiliar to you, but the Weidian security guards always know it? Xiaonei.com and Friends.com always know it? Group buying always knows it? Haha, don't be surprised! Yes , The products I just mentioned were produced by a group of universities led by our Comrade Zhou Buqi!"

No applause.

There was only a warm greeting, "Xiao Zhou, come, come and sit!"

Talking Dangdang boss Li Guoqing.
