The general outline of the cooperation, which was directly promoted by Fang Zhuo, Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang and other company leaders, was quickly finalized.
The construction of content ecology is carried out with Yike as the main company and other companies as supplements.
As for why it was confirmed so quickly...it's because Yike is rich.
Yike is also very experienced in doing business alliances. It is easy for everyone to have different positions and different considerations. However, most problems can be solved by simply increasing the overall interests of common ground while reserving differences.
This is the case for Yike's patent alliance with Google, and the same is the case for baseband technology research and development with Apple and Samsung.
This time, Yike is willing to spend US$500 million a year to leverage the development of the content ecosystem of the mobile Internet.
According to Fang Zhuo, this is the money given by Google to the default search engine, which means that according to the three-year period of cooperation with it, the effectiveness of everyone's cooperation will be evaluated and whether to add more.
Whether it's NetEase, Sohu or 360, they can only willingly agree with this configuration when they hear the investment figures like Yike. Old people, old people, small ones, spending money is always not as smooth as a rising giant like Yike.
I can only mean it.
The investment of this money will be used to create a series of content for the mobile Internet, such as encyclopedia.
Fang Zhuo took encyclopedia as an example. Duji Encyclopedia is a product that allows users to evaluate the overall situation. The mobile Internet still needs such a presence, and now everyone has similar plans. Sogou wants to make Sogou Encyclopedia, and 360 wants to make 360 Encyclopedia. This is undoubtedly
It's a waste.
Now, the "Chinese Encyclopedia" can be directly created, and then all search companies can freely call it, directly replacing the ecological niche of Duji in the system.
However, Fang Zhuo was also asked a question when talking about this.
"Chinese Encyclopedia is definitely not open to Duji, so what about Penguin's Sosou?" Ding Lei noticed that Penguin's Liu Chiping did not stay in Shanghai to participate in the following meeting.
"Penguin's Sosou market share is not high. To be honest, I very much welcome Penguin to join, and this content ecosystem will not take the initiative to shut down Sosou." Fang Zhuo pondered for a while, "But I really feel bad about it.
Okay, let’s work together. Due to the large size of notebooks, it will be difficult for Penguin to do anything in this search market.”
Zhou Hongyi, who has a close relationship with penguins, said: "I'm afraid penguins will have to develop their own ecology."
"In establishing the entire ecosystem, the more participants the better, so that we can learn from each other's strengths. No company is perfect." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Especially in some links that require a lot of investment and are not easy to make profits, such as,
Yixin, for example, Amap, can all contribute to everyone. We will study how to do it best while working together."
The reason why it is said to be based on YMS is that Yike already has a lot of related business cooperation that can be carried out externally. Whether Penguin develops a similar ecology is up to it.
Fang Zhuo's attitude is very gentle, Yike's investment is very real, and Qi He, who is specifically responsible for promoting this matter, is very motivated. In addition, the stock price of Duji is falling outside, and the public response is also good...
Cooperation intentions involving multiple companies were quickly finalized.
Zhou Hongyi asked another question at the end: "Mr. Fang, how long do you think this kind of competition using ecology and degree will take to see results?"
"Isn't it quite effective now? People are starting to call me hypocritical." Fang Zhuoxian smiled and then said, "Within three years, there will be obvious effects, right? The mobile Internet is developing so fast."
Zhou Hongyi said "hmm": "Du Ji is anxious. I think this Li Mingyuan's words are too unobjective."
Fang Zhuo just smiled, it was no big deal.
However, as a small spat in the competition, Zhou Hongyi quickly began to help give his own counterattack. After returning to Beijing from Shanghai, he accepted an interview with reporters and praised the mobile Internet project led by Yike.
Ecological construction.
And, he also mentioned the evaluation of Duji executive Li Mingyuan.
"If Mr. Fang was being hypocritical, I might still be inside now."
Zhou Hongyi once had the risk of being caught on the spot. When he reviewed the matter afterwards, he was still very scared. What if he didn't receive the news? What if Mr. Fang changed hands and sold it?
Fortunately, there was no danger and no one was sacrificed.
So, from personal experience, Mr. Fang has a bottom line no matter how the gossip spreads.
As expected, Zhou Hongyi's words silenced the reporters.
And he was naturally not the only one who hit back at Li Mingyuan.
Li Mingyuan is responsible for the cloud business department at Duji. Qi He has focused part of his energy on the cloud business this year, so he naturally knows how to go after his opponents' pain points.
He also talked about the chatter that everyone likes to hear in an interview with the media about the mobile Internet ecology.
"Oh, I saw the interview with Mr. Li from Duji. I was very excited at first, but then I didn't care. I thought it was Mr. Robin Li, but I didn't expect it was another Mr. Li."
"Let's talk about products. People who don't make good products are like this. If you talk to them about products, they will attack you personally. I believe 99% of people understand the right and wrong of this matter."
"I heard that Du Ji lost his position as vice president because of this. Hey, you are welcome to submit your resume to Yike."
"Facts have proven that due to the nature of the company's work, I am all acquainted. Due to their respective positions, everyone goes out to work. If they don't talk, they don't talk and just work in silence. How can they jump out and bite back?"
"I don't want to say more." Qi He said this while holding the microphone that the reporter wanted to take away with his hand. "I agree with Mr. Fang's assessment."
The microphone was successfully fixed.
"Duji's golden decade has passed. Robin had two excellent opportunities for transformation, but he failed to seize them, and even pushed them away with his own hands."
"One is cloud computing. Robin gave the evaluation of 'old wine in new bottles'. I know he wants to promote his 'box computing', and wants to solve the needs of users in the search box, making Duji the entrance to information and services.
,but……"
"Do you have that ability? You don't have that ability."
"Another issue is the slow pace of mobile transformation. If Duji had implemented mobile transformation earlier, how could we have done anything?"
"President Fang listed this as an example of strategic mistakes in the internal meeting, oh, twice."
Qi He talked eloquently, and finally said: "If you ask me, it's too easy to make money from Duji's advertising. Everyone wants to sit on the golden mountain to eat. The execution ability of anything is much worse, and there are huge internal factional struggles. Anyway, that person
When Mr. Li comes out to evaluate Yike, I hope he can look down at his own home."
The vice president of Yike was eloquent. Not only did he respond to Li Mingyuan in front of a media outlet, he also talked about Yike's domestic cloud computing competition and gave potential users a sincere suggestion.
"Even if you don't use Yike's cloud computing, even if you use Penguin's, it's better than Duji. That's what I'm saying."
An executive from Penguin News: It seems to be praising us, but it sounds weird.
Qi He's attack power is very strong, and following his speech, Yike's domestic cloud business has also been upgraded accordingly, which is precisely the cloud storage PCS launched by Duji in September this year.
Since the launch of Yike Cloud, its customers have been corporate groups, and this is the first time it has been targeted at individual users.
Duji's stock price is still falling, but compared with the panic of the first day's sudden drop, the magnitude is not that great. As if stimulated by outside voices, Li Yanhong published an internal open letter on the last day of 2012, and
Announced adjustments to the organizational structure.
Duji has established two major groups: search business and forward charging business, which are headed by Vice President Xiang Hailong and Vice President Wang Zhan respectively. In addition, there are also mobile cloud, LBS, internationalization and other business units.
One detail that caught the attention of the media was that Li Mingyuan, who had just angrily criticized Mr. Fang a few days ago, was promoted and became the youngest vice president of Duji, with a bright future.
Internal open letters are all internal and external.
Li Yanhong's open letter vaguely responded to the "two major strategic mistakes" said to be made by Mr. Fang, claiming that "the company has been doing research and reserves on related technologies, and Duji Cloud will have strong competitiveness" and "
Duji’s deployment on the mobile terminal started very early, and it has already seen results.”
Of course, he also acknowledged the changing situation.
"In the era of mobile Internet, any company will face huge challenges, and Duji is no exception. The more times like this, the more Duji students should adhere to the value of 'user first' and complete the long-term transformation from a large enterprise to a great enterprise.
Distance running.”
At the last moment of 2012, Duji's internal structure was upgraded, and Li Yanhong stepped forward to respond to public opinion. Unfortunately, everyone did not wait for Mr. Fang's response.
However, there are rumors circulating on Zhihu that Qi Shaoyu, the vice president of Duji who resigned previously, has really gone to Yike to submit his resume. Many anonymous vests with the tone of Yike employees have proved this.
Regarding the competition between Duji and Yike to contribute to everyone at the end of the year, a clever answer came to the forefront.
"Another business boss wants to blackmail Mr. Fang's contact information."
…
2013, New Year’s Day holiday.
Yike has made new progress.
As the head of Yike, Fang Zhuo got a regular vacation, which he had not had in many years, which made him feel particularly good.
Staying at home on New Year's Day, Fang Zhuo summarized the past year, one good news and one bad news.
The bad news is that Ice Core has not avoided some restrictions after all. The inability to purchase equipment will cause Ice Core to have to correct other technical routes, and it is more certain that it will need to rely on the strength of the domestic industrial chain to a large extent.
The good news is that Fang Xiaoman appeared.
When Su Wei heard Fang Zhuo make such a summary, she couldn't help but feel flattered for her son.
"It's really incredible that you were able to put your son in such a position this year..." Su Wei held it in for a while and commented, "It's rare."
Fang Zhuo was furious: "Su, I have long disliked you! In the whole world, I have long discovered that you are the most disrespectful to me!"
"Don't I still respect you?" Su Wei was surprised, "Why hasn't your biography been released for so long? Is it because it has been beautified so much that you can't even let others distribute it?"
Fang Zhuo snorted: "For Xiaoman's sake, I won't argue with you, a jobless person."
Su Wei is the one who really took a big vacation. She has gradually handed over her work since she became pregnant last year, and after e-commerce established the "President's Office", she confirmed the rotation plan.
Two kinds of people cannot sleep under the same bed.
Su Wei has always been very busy, but she has to admit her inferiority in front of the most powerful business people.
When she heard "work," she changed the topic to this topic and said seriously: "I plan to go back gradually in May."
Fang Zhuo was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "Didn't we agree to wait until the second half of the year?"
"May is not that far away from the second half of the year." Su Wei pondered for a moment, "It's just in time to make preparations before Taobao's June 18th event, so I can be a free CEO."
Fang Zhuo hesitated for a moment. If you want to take care of the child, someone will naturally take care of it, that is...
He looked at the determination in Weiwei's eyes, nodded silently, and did not refuse the notice of combining public and private matters.
Su Wei showed a smile: "I knew you wouldn't refuse to have one more person working under you."
"Hey, if you miss me so much, then I really don't like it." Fang Zhuo was just about to feign anger when he saw an incoming foreign number light up on his phone.
It's Lu Qi, the real Lu Qi from Microsoft.
"Microsoft Xiao Qi He called me, wait a moment." Fang Zhuo was a little confused about this person's connection.
Su Wei consciously set aside time for phone calls and happily went to see her son.
"Mr. Lu, do you want to come to Yike?" Fang Zhuo pressed the phone and his sincere feelings came out.
"Mr. Fang...you, um..." Lu Qi still wanted to say hello, but was caught off guard. After a moment, he said, "It's really about work. Well, it's not about me. I heard that Yike was in China recently with Du Ji.
Do competition.”
"You want to go back to China and do the work in person?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile.
"Mr. Fang, it's not about me." Lu Qi emphasized again, "However, I noticed that Yike has made great moves in the cloud business, especially in the European market. Mr. Qi often appears in Germany and France."
Fang Zhuo thought to himself that he was indeed the little Qi He of Microsoft, and he really paid attention to the movements of Qi He of the University of Science and Technology of China.
Lu Qi continued: "Yike is building a data center in Europe. Well, I know Mr. Qi is in charge of Yike YMS. Regarding the leadership of the cloud business, is there a need for a dedicated person in charge?"
Fang Zhuo heard this tone and thought that he wanted to recommend high-level people to his family to change jobs.
He smiled and said: "Qi He's current task is indeed very heavy. Mr. Lu, if you have anything to say, just say it. Are there any friends who are willing to give Yike a try?"
"Dr. Zhang Yaqin, did you know? He is our global senior vice president at Microsoft and has made outstanding achievements in many fields." Lu Qi said, "If Yike has a suitable position, maybe you can have a chat."
Fang Zhuo knows Zhang Yaqin and his two identities, one is his current identity, and the other is his "future" identity. He should be regarded as the CEO of Duoji.
Originally I just thought that Lu Qi would not have to go to Duji, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Lu, only people like this can think of our Yike immediately. Your position is so right."
Lu Qi was a little confused. How could he help his colleagues change jobs while he was at Microsoft?
He said a little vaguely: "The country is developing very fast, and everyone is on their own. Yike and Dr. Zhang also complement each other."
"Yes, we will complement each other and fight against each other from a distance. Mr. Lu, I will treat you to dinner when we meet. I hope we all have a wonderful 2013." Fang Zhuo was in a good mood.
Lu Qi felt confused and happy, Mr. Fang was really...a passionate person.
