Chapter 288 Qiandu was seriously injured, Google was slightly injured, Lingxi won a small victory! Chen Yizhou: Why don’t you answer the phone!
At 10:30 in the morning, Qiandu lifted the ban on 360 products.
Ten minutes later, 360 synchronized Qiandu's operations.
The 3B war came to an end, and the technical offensive and defensive and public relations war of words between the two companies finally ended, but it immediately entered the legal game stage.
Qiandu sued 360 for illegally crawling data in order to quickly obtain content, bypassing the Robots crawler protocol and seeking compensation for 100 million yuan in economic losses.
360 counter-sued Qiandu for using the Robots protocol to monopolize the search engine market.
Zhou Hongyi is not one to suffer a loss. While actively responding to the lawsuit, he rants on Weibo: "Monopoly is the greatest evil in the world because it deprives users of choice! The problem with Baidu is not only monopoly, but also malicious bundled software, products that are difficult to uninstall, and cannot be deleted completely. Isn't this rogue software?"
Netizens in the comment section joked: "This is really like a monk scolding a thief, a gangster fighting a gangster. In a nutshell, there is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
What this means is that neither 360 nor Qiandu are good things.
But Zhou Hongyi didn't care, because 360 Search had already won.
Before the war, 360 Search's market share was 0, and after the war it was 8.59%, making it the second largest search engine product in China.
The other side.
Xucheng, Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, Building No. 9.
Chen Yansen sat in the office and opened the work email sent by Zhang Yiming.
Lingxi Browser has a total of 61 million users and 37 million active users, with a market share of 10.3%, ranking fourth, only after UC, QQ and Opera browsers, and ahead of Qiandu and Dolphin browsers.
Lingxi Search's market share is 4.07%, only lower than Qiandu, 360 and Sogou. Google's market share in Dahua has fallen to 3.49%, completely becoming the fifth in the industry.
The user usage rate of Sogou Search has not fluctuated much, but the market share of Qiandu Search has dropped from 75.44% at the beginning of August to 64.68%, a decrease of 14.26%.
Qiandu was seriously injured, Google was slightly injured, and Sogou maintained stability.
A win-win situation for Lingxi and 360 Search!
"Zhou Hongyi may look silly, but he is smarter than anyone else. No wonder he is still an internet celebrity after more than a decade!"
Chen Yansen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled faintly.
Lao Zhou graduated with a master's degree at the age of 15, started as a programmer in a state-owned enterprise, was promoted to department manager a year later, and started the 3721 project three years later. Five years later, he sold 3721 to Yahoo for 120 million US dollars, and personally received 80 million US dollars.
It was 2003, and the per capita income in Shanghai was less than 20,000 yuan.
However, in Chen Yansen's opinion, Zhou Hongyi's ability in planning is too poor, perhaps it is a bad habit he developed as an investor in his early days. He does whatever is popular in the market, but he dare not go all out every time.
Resources were dispersed, and ultimately the effort failed.
His style of behavior is like a firecracker, which explodes at the slightest touch! In fact, Chen Yansen has no subjective emotions towards Zhou Hongyi, Lei Yijun, Ma Wenteng, Li Yanhong and Ma Liyun.
As a businessman, all you need to do is pursue profits!
Of course, if you cross his bottom line, you will be beaten!
Li Yanhong's investment in Didi Dache caused him a lot of trouble, so he immediately came up with Lingxi Search, which snatched 4.07% of the market share from Qiandu.
Just as he was thinking, the phone on the table rang.
Chen Yansen came back to his senses, stretched out his hand, and the phone automatically flew to his palm. He glanced at the caller ID and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Boss, Qiandu acquired Lashou.com and added the 'Food, Drink and Entertainment' section to Qiandu Maps. Li Yanhong is so shameless. He copied the O2O strategy of AutoNavi Maps one to one."
Xiao Jun went straight to the point and cursed angrily.
"The same plan, when executed by different people, often leads to two completely opposite results. If you let him copy it, whoever does it badly will be embarrassed."
Chen Yansen didn't care and spoke slowly.
After all, there is no such thing as copyright on the Internet, especially in 2012.
"Okay, boss. I understand." Xiao Jun replied with gritted teeth, intending to fight back against Qiandu's behavior from a business perspective.
In the field of electronic maps and navigation software, AutoNavi is the big brother.
Xiao Jun is confident that he will not lose to Qiandu Map in project operation.
Chen Yansen did not hang up the phone in a hurry, but asked about the progress of Amap's application in local life scenarios.
After the two chatted for more than twenty minutes, Chen Yansen slowly put down his phone.
Two weeks ago, Zhu Xiaohu called him and tested his bottom line for price.
Chen Yansen offered 240 million US dollars at the time.
This is the valuation that Gao Weilin arrived at after comprehensive calculation based on Lashou.com's business and financial data, market share, industry prospects and other information. It is not a price he decided on a whim.
Since Sands Ventures, Medon Investment and Renit Fund sold Lashou.com to Qiandu, it must be that Li Yanhong's bid was higher.
But he didn't care too much about it. There are several group buying websites similar to Lashou. If you miss Lashou, there are still Nuomi, Dianping, Wowotuan, and even Meituan.
As for whether Wang Xin will sell Meituan?
Chen Yansen would not have any hesitation on this issue at all.
As long as Kuaipao and Lashou force Meituan into a desperate situation, Wang Xin will have only two choices when he is short of funds and cannot obtain financing: either die or sell.
When Qiandu acquires Lashou.com, the first person to be targeted is Wang Xin, the second target will be Dianping.com, and the third will probably be Kuaipao.
Thinking of this, Chen Yansen turned on his computer and quickly found the relevant report on the homepage of Qiandu News.
"Qiandu acquires Lashou.com for USD 420 million, setting a record for the largest acquisition in the group buying market!"
“Group buying + travel! Qiandu spends a lot of money to promote local life services!”
420 million US dollars? Chen Yansen frowned slightly. He was not sure how much water there was in this number, but he estimated that the actual transaction figure should be around 400 million.
Two weeks ago, Zhu Xiaohu's offer was 320 million US dollars, and in a blink of an eye it increased by 100 million US dollars.
Li Yanhong is such a sucker! Chen Yansen couldn't help but curse inwardly. If there were no Qiandu to mess things up, Senlian Capital's voice in the online car-hailing and group-buying markets would definitely be far greater than the current development status.
But he changed his mind and instantly calmed down.
Without Baidu, other big capitals will emerge.
As far as he knows, Zhu Nanli of Legend Capital had privately communicated with Xu Xin of Today Capital, Wang Qiong of Sunet Asia and Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital, hoping to push Liu Yiqing to the position of CEO of Didi Dache.
It’s just that Qiandu’s shareholding ratio was too high, so he failed.
With Liu Yiqing's network of connections, even without the help of Lenovo and the Liu family, he could easily attract investment from Australia, Europe and the United States.
The other party has worked at Goldman Sachs for more than ten years and must have a wealth of personal connections.
Compared with Liu Yiqing, the indecisive Li Yanhong is obviously easier to deal with.
When the losses from the subsidy war reach Li Yanhong's psychological limit, the negotiations between the two sides will begin.
That afternoon, Kuaipao launched a meal card recharge activity with the same gameplay as Kuaidi Taxi. Without any competitors to constrain it, it created a revenue record of 590 million yuan within six hours of its launch.
After gaining a firm foothold in Hui'an, Sujiang, Hucheng, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Pei Yi immediately "led his troops northward", and with Yanjing, Tianjin, Changshan, Tangcheng and other places as the center, he quickly expanded to the surrounding prefecture-level cities, preparing to capture the North China market in one fell swoop.
The businesses of AutoNavi, Kuaipao and Kuaidi Taxi complement each other. The three products have achieved ecological complementarity in terms of traffic and commercial monetization, and both daily active data and user stickiness have made great progress.
Before leaving get off work, Chen Yansen received a call from Ma Wenteng. He was puzzled and couldn't help but wonder: What is this guy doing in Xucheng? Without thinking too much, he pushed the door and walked out, calling Zhou Shouzhi, Ye Qiuping and Gao Weilin to accompany him.
Three minutes later, a Rolls-Royce Ghost with panda color and a Bentley Mulsanne drove out of the science park one after another and sped towards the city.
at the same time.
Chen Yizhou of Renren.com realized that he had been fooled by Li Yanhong when he saw the news of Baidu's acquisition.
"Banma! It's delayed me for a month."
Chen Yizhou was so excited that he spoke in his long-lost hometown accent. After thinking for a while, he called Chen Yansen again.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, no one answered.
Has Chen Yansen also given up his plan to acquire the group buying website?
Chen Yizhou suddenly became anxious. Nuomi.com was losing two to three million US dollars every month. If he sold it a month later, he would lose a villa in Shanghai.
Apart from Chen Yansen, he really couldn't find any decent buyer in the country.
You should know that venture capital institutions that have confidence in the group buying business entered the group buying track as early as early 2011.
Now we have reached the finals of the 'top five to top four' competition. How could it be possible that an investor would temporarily change the group purchase product and switch to a new product?
On the other side, Chen Yansen just got off the car and walked into the sky garden, and he saw Ma Wenteng coming towards him.
