As for Huanyu Technology's methods, Baidu was also secretly cursing at how ridiculous they were.
In fact, Baidu did sponsor a lot of counterfeit products, but some of them were not entirely their responsibility.
There were at least hundreds of thousands of products in the country.
You could tell if one or two products were real or fake, but how could you tell if all of them were real?
Besides, wasn't it the Industry and Commerce Department's responsibility to crack down on counterfeit products? Why did Baidu have to identify all of them?
However, no matter how much Baidu complained, Baidu did not dare to express their grievances in the face of public anger.
Baidu once again expressed its intention to rectify the situation and fined them a small sum of money.
This did not affect Baidu much, but Huanyu Technologies held a press conference at this time to officially launch Yi Search.
The purpose of the press conference was clear.
In addition to announcing the official launch of the "Yi Search" search engine brand, they also specifically fought back against the pain points of their business partners.
For example, they said no to all counterfeit products and blacklisted them.
Once a company's products were found to be counterfeit products, they would no longer cooperate with them.
This approach also won the favor of many users.
On the day of Yi Search's launch, many users used Yi Search to try it out.
"Not bad, it doesn't look much different from Baidu."
"It's good to use, there are fewer advertisements."
"Support Yi Search."
However, the search engine market was not so easy to do.
Although Yi Search used the opportunity of attacking Baidu to enter the market, they only grabbed 3% of the market share.
"Jianguo, is Yi Search's data report out?"
"It's out, Yi Search's indexing technology is still the previous generation technology. Their hyperlink technology performance is very poor, only 70% of our standard. Also, their market share is only 3%. I predict that in the future, their market share will fall below 2%. "
Liu Jianguo was quite worried before.
However, after seeing Yi Search's performance and market share, Liu Jianguo was completely relaxed.
Yi Search definitely could not compete with Baidu in terms of technology.
For the time being, people did not think much of Yi Search, but after using it for a long time, they would realize that Baidu was much better than Yi Search.
Of course, this was only secondary.
Most importantly, the search engine market was not something that could be casually expanded.
For example, Huanyu Technologies had to pay a hefty price to obtain their current 3% market share.
Wang Xiaochuan, the head of the search engine department at Huanyu Technologies, felt a little awkward.
In his previous plan, Wang Xiaochuan thought that Yi Search could get 10% of the market share after it was introduced to the market.
Now, not to mention 10%, it had only reached 3%, and there were signs of it falling at any time.
"Boss Chen …"
Wang Xiaochuan immediately went to Chen Yu's office. He decided to ask Chen Yu to deduct half a year's bonus.
But before Wang Xiaochuan could say anything, Chen Yu said, "Xiaochuan, you came just in time. I was just about to look for you. In view of the outstanding performance of your search engine department, I have decided to reward you with another three months of bonus. "
"Ah?"
Wang Xiaochuan was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
"What? You don't want the bonus?"
"No, Boss Chen, we don't deserve it."
Wang Xiaochuan blushed.
Even Sohu, which was the most comfortable place for him, didn't receive such good treatment.
Didn't Boss Chen say that he was a wolf?
Where did that go?
How was he a wolf? He was living like a god.
"I don't deserve it … No, no, no, there's no need."
Chen Yu certainly knew what Wang Xiaochuan was thinking. "The search engine competition is a long-term battle. You've done very well. Besides, do you want to eliminate Baidu in one go? "
"No, we don't."
Wang Xiaochuan shook his head awkwardly.
Eliminate Baidu.
Wang Xiaochuan didn't even think about it.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but it was simply impossible with the current conditions.
"That's it."
"But, Boss Chen, if this continues, we may not even be able to maintain 3% market share in the future."
"Why?"
"Our technology can't keep up."
"If our technology can't keep up, can't you use other means?"
Chen Yu inspired Wang Xiaochuan and said, "Baidu's slogan has always been to be the world's largest Chinese search platform. What about us? We can also use a slogan. For example, we can call ourselves China's Own Search Platform. "
One was to be the world's largest Chinese search platform. The other was to be China's own search platform.
Although the first one seemed to be more powerful.
However, every country had territorial protection.
This protection wasn't from the country, but from users.
Everyone liked to use things produced in their own country.
Things like clothes, food, houses, cars, and even domestic movies and TV series.
"Boss Chen, although this kind of national slogan is useful, I'm afraid it will affect our market in the future."
"I'm not asking you to use it all the time. Let's get our market share first. When we consolidate our market share, we'll also call ourselves the world's largest Chinese search platform … "
"Pfft …"
Wang Xiaochuan almost couldn't hold it in.
However, Chen Yu's words had instantly enlightened Wang Xiaochuan.
"Zhixian, you guide them on the Internet and use our Yi Search slogan."
"What slogan?"
"China's Own Search Platform."
In fact, Baidu was also China's.
Yi Search was also China's.
Logically speaking, such a slogan wouldn't have much effect.
However, although Baidu was China's, it had raised capital several times. Baidu had capital relations with various countries. Although it couldn't be said that it wasn't China's if other countries invested, Yi Search, which was purely China's, undoubtedly had more advantages.
"Brothers, do you know that Baidu has American capital investment?"
"Who said that?"
"Who else needs to say it? It was announced on the news that Baidu had American capital when it raised capital for the second time."
"F * ck, so Baidu is American?"
"No, it's still China's. They just invested. On the other hand, Huanyu Technologies' Yi Search is completely China's capital. It's 100% Chinese. "
"Looks like I'll change to Yi Search in the future."
"That's not necessary. Baidu is also China's own."
"Baidu isn't pure. Yi Search is better."
"That's too irrational."
"I like it. So what? Bite me."
Ordinary netizens couldn't tell the difference between capital and financing.
Under Wang Xiaochuan's lead, Yi Search, which was completely China's own search platform, broke into the market.
Under this rhythm, Yi Search's market share quickly rose to 5%.
"Huanyu Technologies is shameless. How dare they use such underhanded methods."
Baidu's Chief Technology Officer, Liu Jianguo, cursed.
He didn't expect Huanyu Technologies to use such disgusting methods when they couldn't beat Baidu in terms of technology.
However, Li Yanhong said calmly, "There's no need to build a country. I was a little worried about Huanyu Technologies before, but they're playing the ethnic card. They'll be like this in the future. "
Ethnic cards were good, but how many companies in China that played the ethnic card did well?
Jianlibao, which was very popular in the beverage industry, also played the ethnic card.
In the end, it became popular for a while and quickly disappeared.
There were also some online games that played the ethnic card. They consumed the passion of many players and eventually died out.
If Huanyu Technologies was ambitious, Li Yanhong would be worried.
Now, it seemed that Huanyu Technologies was too narrow-minded and didn't pose much of a threat.
"That's true, but their methods are a little disgusting."
"It's okay. Just bear with it. Let them be China's search engine for a while."
Li Yanhong didn't mind. Baidu didn't take any countermeasures.
"Hey, Baidu didn't do anything."
"Great, Zhixian. Let's continue."
Wang Xiaochuan was surprised and happy.
He didn't expect Baidu to not do anything.
"Xiaochuan, what are we going to do?"
"Play the safety card."
After being enlightened by Chen Yu, Wang Xiaochuan was also enlightened.
If they didn't have enough skills, they would make up for it with other means.
Of course, their skills couldn't reach the same level as Baidu, but they could use more means.
For example, the fake brands from before, the ethnic cards now, and the safety card that they were about to play.
"Brothers, when you watch videos, you have to pay attention to whether there are viruses on the website."
"What's the situation?"
"Sigh, I went to a website to watch videos yesterday. Damn it, my game account was all hacked."
"So serious?"
"Of course."
"That means don't watch videos anymore. How can I stand it?"
Apart from playing games and chatting online, watching videos was one of the hobbies.
When everyone was tired from playing games, it was inevitable that they would like to watch videos.
Some watched blockbusters, some watched short videos, and some watched educational videos purely for learning.
No matter what videos they watched, netizens had a great demand for films and television works.
But if you said that watching videos would cause you to be poisoned and your account would be hacked, you would feel a chill in your heart.
What if you were poisoned while watching videos? What would you do?
"Don't worry, use Yi Search."
"What's the use of Yi Search? It's just a search engine, not an anti-virus software."
"Yes, it's a search engine, but it will remind you which websites are safer and which are more dangerous."
Although many porn sites weren't very safe, there were always safer porn sites.
Wouldn't it be better to log on to the safer websites?
Of course, this was actually one of Yi Search's big businesses.
However, this business couldn't be understood by the users themselves.
When creating this business, it was necessary to use some means at the appropriate time.
For example, in the major internet cafes, various YY groups, and various chat rooms … there were all kinds of posts about being poisoned and stolen.
There were so many posts that some users accidentally redirected to Yi Search for the sake of their computer security.
Just like this, under the guidance of Chen Yu, Wang Xiaochuan's search engine department was doing very well.
From time to time, he would use some small tricks.
This situation also caused Yi Search's market share to rise from the original 3% to 10% in a short period of time.
However, when it rose to 10%, Wang Xiaochuan had a headache.
"Boss Chen, we've used up most of our tricks. It's very difficult for our market share to increase anymore."
"Who said that? Think more, there are plenty of tricks."
"Boss Chen, we've used a lot of shameless tricks. I really can't think of anything else."
These days, Wang Xiaochuan and the others had wasted many times more brain cells than usual.
In short, as soon as they went to work, they used all kinds of shameless tricks.
Sometimes, even after work, they would think about whether Yi Search could still play some tricks.
"Sigh, you technical people are easily stuck in the head."
Chen Yu sighed and reminded them again, "There are many tricks. If you really can't think of anything else, then continue to hack Baidu's bidding ranking."
That's right.
Baidu's bidding ranking was something that could be tarnished for a lifetime.
If you hacked it once, you could hack it a second time.
If you hacked it a second time, you could hack it a third time, a fourth time, a fifth time …
As long as Baidu was there, then do your best to hack it …
