Two days later, another piece of good news came. Baidu's Tieba was launched.
Baidu saw Sohu and other companies' forums were doing well, and people who are interested in them can gather online to discuss. That's why Baidu's staff suggested to Li Yanhong that Baidu should also set up a forum.
However, Li Yanhong rejected this suggestion.
Forums are good and have lots of information. But there are too many forums now. Sohu had made use of better resources to occupy the biggest share of the market. There are also new websites like Xi Ci and Tianya. Sina, NetEase, etc. are also setting up forums. This is the era of competition.
As the saying goes, 'I have what others don't have. I have what others have. I have what others have.
Not only do they have it, but they've also mastered it. How are you going to enter the market?
So, Li Yanhong suggested another idea. Tieba.
The biggest difference between Tieba and forums is that Tieba is not divided into sections. Tieba can build its own Tieba for any topic, and Baidu can use its powerful search function to support the development of this business. In the future, Tieba can also charge users for membership fees.
This is an online platform without the restriction of other forum moderators. It will surely grow faster.
Also, other companies cannot imitate Tieba as it is a keyword based community and is closely integrated with the search engine. It can accurately grasp the users' needs.
There are other search engines in China, but their scale and functions cannot be compared to Baidu. This way, Baidu will own the core technology and will be able to monopolize the market.
Without competition, Baidu will be able to grow faster. Even if there are similar products in the future, the users will be used to Tieba. Based on the users' habits, Tieba will still be the best!
Most importantly, Tieba is created by Baidu. Google and other search engine companies do not have such products, and Baidu will be the best in the world for the first time!
Once Baidu becomes the best in the world, its brand value will increase rapidly. This will be beneficial to Baidu's listing next year.
The more anticipated a company is, the faster its share prices will rise after it gets listed. Those entrepreneurs who received the original shares will get more profits.
Li Yanhong had promised his partners that they would all become millionaires, multimillionaires, and even billionaires in the future.
The simplest way is to increase the company's share prices, and all the employees will benefit from it. If the interests of the employees and the company were closely linked, then the best working atmosphere could be created and the employees would be able to work harder for the company.
Feng Yu clicked on the page and noticed many problems.
Feng Yu clicked on the webpage and noticed many problems.
First, Tieba does not have categories. Although Tieba was an online community where any hobby or interest could become a theme, if someone wanted to find a similar theme, it would be very difficult if there were no categories.
Although Tieba didn't need to be managed by the moderators of various forums like forums, it wasn't convenient enough without categories, and it was even more impossible to compete with forum users.
Tieba is.. Otherwise, of of of of of Tieba will will.
… …
"Manager Li? It's me, Feng Yu. I just heard that Baidu's Tieba is in open beta. This is the first product in the world. Manager Li, you are a genius. "Feng Yu praised Li Yanhong.
"General Manager Feng, you are flattering me. This is the brainchild of everyone, and I dare not take credit for it. But we are very confident of this product. We think this product will replace Tieba and become the most popular online community in the future. "
Li Yanhong is also a proud man. He had given up his high salary in the US to start his own business in China. It was a bumpy journey, but he is finally making some progress.
Many people do not support Li Yanhong's ideas, but Feng Yu is supportive of them. This is also the reason why Baidu can achieve what it is today.
For example, Baidu had provided search engine support to many internet companies in the past. This is also Baidu's source of income. Later, Li Yanhong decided to set up an independent search engine website and start a competitive ranking system.
All the higher management in his company objected to this idea. Baidu will not get any income in the short term by doing competitive ranking, and they will lose the source of income from those websites. Baidu is digging its own grave!
But Feng Yu told Li Yanhong to go ahead with it. If Baidu does not have enough funds, they can get loans or inject more funds into the company. Feng Yu will support Baidu to the end.
Li Yanhong started his' Lightning Plan 'to catch up with or even surpass Google in the short term. Luckily, Baidu succeeded.
Although most of the search engines in China are using Google's technologies, and some are even using Korean and Russian technologies, Baidu is able to compete with Google in terms of technology.
Of course, Baidu had spent a lot of money on this. Luckily, Feng Yu had supported Baidu in the past. If not, Baidu might not have survived.
If Feng Yu had not supported Baidu, Feng Yu would have had the chance to take over Baidu. Others might not know, but Li Yanhong knows Feng Yu is Google's biggest shareholder.
Li Yanhong still remembers Feng Yu telling him that Hua Xia's search engine technology should be the best in the world. I think you can do it. Now, Li Yanhong can proudly say that he had done it!
Now, Baidu is the first in the world to introduce a Tieba forum. Li Yanhong believes Baidu will do well in the future.
"Manager Li, you don't have to be so humble. I had tested the Tieba forum and noticed a small problem. I would like to discuss with you."
"Please speak, General Manager Feng." Li Yanhong frowned. General Manager Feng, who does not know anything about IT, had noticed the problem. How come the internal testers did not notice it?
"Firstly, the Tieba forum is not categorized. I know Tieba is a forum for any topic. But what if I want to search for a topic that I am interested in? For example, celebrities. Other forums do not have this, but Baidu's Tieba forum has it. I believe we can make use of the celebrity's influence to attract more fans. "
"Secondly, the Tieba forum's search engine needs to be optimized. Some forum moderators have a lot of supporters. Why can't we search by the author?"
"Thirdly, the login page of Tieba is not clear enough. There are a lot of text descriptions on it. I know that this is a guide for beginners, but it's too complicated. It's fun to let the users discover it themselves … Of course, these are just some of my humble opinions. Manager Li, please refer to them."
Li Yanhong kept quiet for a while and replied with what Feng Yu had said. "General Manager Feng is a genius!"
