Within a day, rumors gradually spread in the IT circle that Baidu was secretly acquiring hao123, the largest navigation website in the country.
From a small group, the scope is getting larger and larger. Now the situation of search engines is unclear. Among the three pillars, Sogou is the strongest.
But regardless of Yahoo or Baidu, as long as they get hao123, they will not only be able to reach a higher level in the field of high-end web search, but also convert and accumulate a large amount of user traffic, completely heading towards the second world.
The news quickly spread to Yahoo China's headquarters.
"No matter how much we pay, we must never let hao123 fall into Baidu's hands!"
Zhou Hongyi looked to his left at Fu Sheng and other 3721 veteran confidants, and to his right at Lin Shaoan, He Yun and other Yahoo outsiders, and slammed the table.
"Mr. Zhou, the price must be huge. Isn't it worth it? The navigation station is just full of URL links. The model is actually leftover from Yahoo. We can design one ourselves..."
Although Lin Shaoan values hao123's traffic, he scorns the technical content involved.
"I'll give you a design. Can you design Alexa's top five URLs in China?"
Zhou Hongyi simply said "you can you up" to silence everyone. Looking around, there was no objection:
"Besides, hao123 has not yet been fully commercialized. Even if it is not commercialized, Sogou and Baidu will never be able to capture it!"
After saying that, he handed over this errand related to the future of Yahoo to the trustworthy Fu Sheng.
Just as the meeting was about to end, He Yun jumped out at an inappropriate time and mentioned that Yahoo-based searches such as Yisou.com and 3721 contained a large number of prohibited videos and pictures...
"Baidu, Sogou doesn't have it? All the crows in the world are as black as black."
Zhou Hongyi stubbornly shook his head and refused. I know I made a mistake, but I just won’t change it.
He Yundao: "Sogou and Baidu have been cracking down on rectifications. At least they are doing something like that. Are we going to do the same?"
"Even if there is a mistake, it is not the fault of our platform. These keywords are automatically generated by the algorithm based on the user's search results and links. If they can control us, they can also control who the users like to watch?"
Although Zhou Hongyi was reluctant, he could only agree, full of complaints.
A group of senior executives walked out of the conference room in a hurry, and suddenly bumped into a hurried secretary, holding a list in his hand——
The Internet Information Association's Illegal and Bad Information Reporting Center exposed the first batch of websites spreading prohibited content.
Baidu and Taoduoduo are on the list, but they are listed in the mild range. Serious violations include all Yahoo searches.
3721 was ranked first, and was followed by a punishment notice, temporarily suspending the search business, and rectifying it immediately.
There is no problem with the rectification, but key websites will be closed for 3 days.
Every additional day that it is unavailable will result in a loss of more customers and traffic, which is exactly at the juncture of the new issue of "The Voice".
"ctm, someone wants to harm me!"
Zhou Hongyi's heart suddenly pounded and he couldn't help but explode.
Behind him, He Yun, Lin Shaoan and others looked at each other and rolled their eyes, thinking that he was suffering from persecution paranoia.
But the next moment, with more and more criticism of Yahoo China on the Internet, the atmosphere of conspiracy became stronger and stronger, but it was too late.
Public opinion is fierce, and the three major portals, NetArt, New Wolf, and Penguin, seem to have made an appointment and opened fire one after another.
“Yahoo China was ordered to suspend its search business due to fraud.”
"A foreign monk broke his precepts? In order to gain click-through rates, Yahoo China will do whatever it takes."
"Although Yahoo China CEO Zhou Hongyi claimed that there was no human intervention in the bad information, the results of the automatic operation of the entire keyword search technology are completely wrong, whether through technical means or manual means, operating a website in China
, we must abide by the law..."
"Yahoo China has suffered the biggest blow since entering China, which may affect its development and growth in China."
From newspapers to TV stations, "Yahoo China" is widely used as a negative example of search engines. There is no other reason.
The source of Yahoo China is Yahoo, which is foreign capital and an outsider. Although Baidu and Sogou are not clean, they are their own children no matter what.
Domestic media unanimously attacked Yahoo China and severely damaged Yahoo, a well-known international brand. Under the crisis of trust, user traffic dropped sharply for three consecutive days, and Yahoo's market share fell below 30%.
The shares that fell out all benefited Sogou by a hundred degrees.
"Welcome everyone to watch "Focus Interview" on time. The guest commentator we invite this time is..."
The TV channel was locked on Yangma, and Cui Yongyuan had a video connection with experts. The two of them asked questions and answered questions, commented on Yahoo China, and repeatedly criticized Yahoo China.
"Zizi~"
Lu Fei was lying on the bed, covered with a blanket from the waist down, and heard the sound of rushing water in the bathroom in his left ear.
Under the daylight, a graceful figure floated in the glass hazy with water mist, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.
"A World Without Thieves" was finished filming. Zeng Li and he hadn't seen each other for a few days, so of course they were waiting for him. The thief didn't leave him empty-handed, and the thief woman almost took him out.
Lu Fei shook out a cigarette from the cigarette case and held it in his mouth.
In the picture in front of me, Yahoo China's video information piece is playing to prove it, and the same voice simultaneously says:
"Relevant departments have summoned the person in charge of the Yahoo China website to interview the Yahoo China website for disseminating a large amount of inappropriate content and announce penalties for the website..."
"Huh~"
Lu Fei blew out a smoke ring and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Google was not completely expelled from China for no reason, but he committed suicide and was severely punished for allowing illegal activities to spread. He wanted to be able to easily find welfare abroad when he was young. He had a friend who was often malnourished...
Yahoo at this moment is like Google at that time.
Zhou Hongyi and others were too busy dealing with crisis public relations and had no time to consider the acquisition of hao123 Navigation. Coupled with the abstention of Sogou and Penguin, the navigation station fell into the hands of Baidu without any effort.
Just rely on a report.
False business wars, intrigues, intrigues, and schemes.
Real business wars, poisoning, drugging, snitching...
Looking at the news about Yahoo China, he had read too much these days and was not interested, so he picked up the remote control and changed the channel.
As soon as the channel was switched to the Tomato channel, it was the 16-to-8 group stage competition for Jay Chou's team in "The Voice". Xu Shangao and Hou Xian were hyped as "Jay Chou's successors" in the online PK, and the speaker rang:
"Both the cat and you want to know the taste of saury."
"This is how we find the fragrance of first love..."
This month, the "Qili Xiang" album was released in August. Once it was released, with Jay Chou's popularity and fan base, and the bonus of "The Voice", it completely sold out. The 100,000-limited cassette was sold online.
, the tape sold out in three days.
Even with reservations, the number has exceeded 150,000, and the sales volume is extremely scary, but it can't compare to the out-of-stock saury in the wet market.
"The Voice" boosts "Qilixiang", and "Qilixiang" feeds back "The Voice".
The ratings of the last two episodes have reached 40% each, which is 6 points higher than the overall ratings of Yangma. You must know that the highest ratings of "Yongzheng Dynasty" are only 20%, and only "Huanzhugege" has the highest ratings.
", "The Legend of White Snake" and other classics that have broken 50% or 60% of the ratings can only fight.
Buzzing, the phone on the bedside table vibrated.
After answering, Lu Huateng's voice came from the phone: "Mr. Lu, now there is good news and there is bad news."
Lu Fei smacked his lips and said, "When will you do this again? Let's hear the good news first."
Lu Huateng spoke concisely and concisely. Thanks to the dual drive of the "Qili Xiang" album and the "The Voice" playlist, the number of simultaneous online users of "Audition" exceeded one million, becoming the first in the country and setting a record!
Lu Fei put out his cigarette in the ashtray, "What's the bad news? Is it also related to "Audition"?"
"Mr. Lu, you guessed it right. It's true. There are now organizations on the Internet slandering "Audition", classifying it as a cyan game, and demanding severe crackdowns and banning the game."
Lu Huateng said angrily: "After our investigation, this matter has nothing to do with Yahoo China."
"Is it Zhou Hongyi again?"
Lu Fei sneered in his heart, and then retaliated with tooth, is it you again?
He could easily see that this was a shoddy plan, to create a bigger explosive point. Regardless of whether it was true or false, it was still confusing public opinion and diverting attention. Yahoo China was definitely not the best, but it was definitely not the worst.
Rather than being bad, video games like "Audition" are even worse!
"Yes, Zhou Hongyi, a bastard, would do such a dirty job. Doesn't he think it's not enough to offend us?"
Lu Huateng cursed.
"What do the relevant authorities say?"
Lu Fei touched his chin. It seemed that Zhou Hongyi realized that Yahoo China was behind him this time and retaliated.
"Fortunately, we have consciously installed an anti-addiction system, and there are many 16-ban settings, so the idea that "Audition" is a fake game that harms young people is untenable, but now the argument is open..."
Lu Huateng's tone was filled with helplessness: "Online and offline people are following the trend and criticizing "Audition" as an electronic pornographic film, and even Penguin's reputation is declining. Mr. Lu, we need to improve our image and public relations no matter what."
"It's time to commercialize e-sports and give the game a proper name."
"Commercialization? Name change? Mr. Lu, what should we do?"
"I have a plan."
Thank you to the Mu family for the big 100 points.
