Chapter 266 Google Strikes (seeking a monthly pass)

Baidu MP3 is currently Baidu's most trafficked project besides Tieba, and it is a very important supplement for an Internet company like Baidu whose core is a search engine.

Li Yanhong is very clear that with the resources in Shen Lang's hands, if he wants to build a similar type of MP3 download website, he can launch it soon, and Shen Lang still has the genuine resources of major music companies. There is no doubt that this is a huge threat.

However, what puzzled Li Yanhong was that Shen Lang didn't immediately launch the MP3 download website. Just when Li Yanhong was still on his mind, a piece of news came that made him shudder.

Google is going to officially enter the mainland market!

In fact, as early as 2000, the two founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were paying attention to the mainland market, but at that time Google was not strong enough, and they had to face their own development problems. After the stock market crash in the United States, it was not until 2004 that Google officially launched the China strategy.

Originally, before Baidu went public, Google's idea was to acquire Baidu and then directly turn Baidu into a mainland branch of Google. However, Li Yanhong resisted the temptation and insisted on sending Baidu to NASDAQ.

This made Google very angry. Since last year, it has officially put the establishment of a mainland branch of Google on the agenda.

However, the embarrassing situation of Microsoft MSN in the mainland has forced Google to pay attention to the issue of cultural differences. Compared with Microsoft, Google is a real Internet company. They are good at learning and more cunning.

Google is very clear that if they directly parachute American executives and adopt Microsoft's style of play, they will end up with a complete defeat, so they have their eyes on one person, and this person is Li Kaifu, who was the global vice president of Microsoft at the time.

Tang Jun is proud of the title of vice president of Huaxia District and working emperor, but he can only be regarded as a younger brother in front of Li Kaifu. This is the Chinese who has achieved the highest achievement in the global Internet except for Yang Zhiyuan.

When Tang Jun left Microsoft, Microsoft did not do anything at all, but when Google came to poach Li Kaifu, Microsoft not only persuaded him to stay more than once, but even told Li Kaifu.

"If you must go to Google, then we have to impose sanctions on Google. I hope you don't feel that this is targeting you, we are only targeting Google."

When your existence poses no threat to Laomei, they will smile and say to you: America is a free country, and you are free to do whatever you want.

However, once your existence threatens them, they will take out the big stick of sanctions and try to destroy you.

Since March last year, Google has been in close contact with Li Kaifu, and successfully persuaded Li Kaifu to resign from Microsoft, and Microsoft turned Li Kaifu to court to impose competition control on him.

The lawsuit lasted for [-] days, and finally Microsoft and Google reached a settlement at the end of last year, and Li Kaifu had the opportunity to work for Google.

Just imagine, if Google is not an American company, but a Chinese company, a settlement is bound to be impossible.

This also shows the energy of Li Kaifu. Newspapers all over the world are also reporting on this matter. The two top technology companies in the world are actually going to court for a Chinese, which can be regarded as a proof for the Chinese in the world.

After Li Kaifu officially worked for Google, Google appointed him as the president of the mainland and gave him the right to over-recruit employees independently. Compared with MSN's Xiong Minghua, Li Kaifu's authority is much higher.

After entering the mainland, Li Kaifu immediately started a lecture tour in major universities across the country, leading his team to campuses in more than ten cities in China. When speaking at Wushi University, the auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people was completely surrounded.

With the strength of Google and the influence of Li Kaifu, it is no wonder that Li Yanhong's face has changed.

In fact, when Shen Lang got the news, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: what should come finally came.

Undoubtedly, the arrival of Google will greatly reduce the living space of 360 search. After all, in the mainland search market at this time, Baidu occupies more than 50%, and 360 search relies on the market share of 360 browser to firmly occupy the second place in the industry. The share reached more than 32%, and the rest of the market share was divided by companies such as Yahoo.

However, compared to Li Yanhong's shock, Shen Lang is much calmer, and his confidence is also very simple. With 360 browser users guaranteeing the bottom line, 360 Search's market share is not so easy to win.

What Shen Lang didn't expect was that when he was thinking about how to defend against Google's next move, Li Kaifu actually came to him on his own initiative.

"Oh, Mr. Li, I'm really sorry, I'm so far away. Why didn't you inform me before you came, so that I can pick you up at the airport." Shen Lang went downstairs to meet him in person.

Li Kaifu smiled and held Shen Lang's hand: "Mr. Shen is too polite. I came to learn from Mr. Shen as a student today, and I hope Mr. Shen will not keep it private."

Shen Lang cursed in his heart, this old fox must have planned it long ago, otherwise why would he bring the reporter here, facing the camera, Shen Lang naturally couldn't refuse.

So he played Tai Chi with a smile.

"What does Mr. Li say, you are the old man, how can I compare with you, I should be the one who asks you for advice."

Li Kaifu was secretly surprised. During this lecture tour in the Mainland, all the young people in the Mainland would float up if he praised him a few words, but Shen Lang not only did not float up, but blocked his words.

This also made Li Kaifu put away his contempt.

"Mr. Li, let's go, go to my office first, I've been fascinated by you for a long time." Shen Lang didn't care what Li Kaifu thought, took his hand and walked towards the elevator.

And this scene showed in the camera that a big boss like Shen Lang was respectful to a senior in the industry like Li Kaifu, showing the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and Shen Lang's extremely high quality.

Li Kaifu wanted to start a conversation several times and visited the company, but Shen Lang kept pulling him to ask questions, asking him what he thought of Microsoft, and asking him if the weather in Washington was good, whether it was suitable for living, etc. life problems.

Li Kaifu thought that Shen Lang was longing for life in the United States, so he patiently answered them one by one. In fact, it is no wonder that he thought so. At this time, the United States is still the lighthouse of the world. It is not surprising that there are many Shen Langs who yearn for immigration.

What this scene showed in the follow-up shots is that Shen Lang and Li Kaifu communicated closely, showing the friendly scene between colleagues. The reporter who followed the film couldn't help feeling: It seems that the business world is not completely life and death. The key It still depends on the quality of people.

"Mr. Li, please sit down. What do you like to drink? Coffee? Coke? Or tea?" Shen Lang didn't wait for Li Kaifu to speak, he pulled him to sit on the sofa, and sat down next to him.

Li Kaifu said casually: "It's still tea."

"Black tea or green tea?"

"I don't care about this, just drink what you have."

"Then black tea, I happen to have a can of good Jinjunmei tea here." Shen Lang asked his assistant Yang Mei to make tea.

Li Kaifu took this opportunity and said to Shen Lang: "Mr. Shen, I heard about the 360 ​​ecological chain when I was in the United States. Today I came here specially to visit and study, and I hope that Mr. Shen will not hesitate to enlighten me."

Shen Lang quickly waved his hands, looking flattered: "Mr. Li just joked, my three-acre land is nothing compared to Microsoft and Google. You are a person who has seen the big world, how dare I play tricks on you?" ah."

The corner of Li Kaifu's mouth twitched, and his heart became more and more vigilant. Why is this young man so defensive towards him?
After a while, Yang Mei arrived with a tea set, and Shen Lang poured a cup for Li Kaifu himself, then looked at him expectantly.

"Mr. Li, how are you doing?"

"Well, the aftertaste is long, good tea, good tea." What else can Li Kaifu say, he can only act with Shen Lang.

Yang Mei almost laughed out loud when she heard it, what kind of Jinjunmei tea, this is a can of roadside goods worth tens of dollars, and the real can of good tea was robbed by Lei Jun two days ago.

After drinking tea, Li Kaifu still didn't give up: "Mr. Shen, you can create a world in just three years of professionalism. Why don't you show me around?"

Shen Lang readily agreed this time: "Of course there's no problem."

Speaking of which, Shen Lang brought Li Kaifu and his party to the restaurant on the second floor, and introduced himself as a guide.

"Mr. Li, you see, this floor is our restaurant. We have recruited four restaurant companies to ensure the food for our employees, including me and the company's executives, who usually eat here."

Li Kaifu gradually became a little irritable. He didn't come here to care about the dining problems of Shen Lang's employees.

On the contrary, the reporter was very curious about the restaurant and asked, "Mr. Shen, just now you said that all the executives of the company, including you, usually eat here? With ordinary employees?"

"Yes, when it comes to eating, company executives don't have any privileges." Shen Lang explained with a smile, and made a wave of advertisements by the way.

After finally waiting for the reporter to finish asking questions, Shen Lang took Li Kaifu upstairs again.

As a result, he reached the third floor, which was still a restaurant. If he hadn't faced the camera, he would have rolled his eyes.

Shen Lang didn't make a big statement this time, he just said a few words and led everyone to the fourth floor.

"Mr. Li, look, this is our gym, how does it compare with Microsoft?" Shen Lang introduced with a very proud look.

Li Kaifu's face was obviously a little stiff, but he could only cheer: "Well, I used to hear that domestic companies do not pay attention to the physical and mental health of their employees in the United States. Now it seems that it is completely nonsense."

The reporter also asked curiously: "Mr. Shen, how did you come up with the idea of ​​building a gym in the company?"

"In fact, doing so is helpless. The company's programmers often stay up late and work overtime. After a long time, it will inevitably damage the spine and lumbar spine. Moreover, programmers generally stay home. If they are asked to go to the gym outside to exercise, they will definitely not want to enter. , so I built such a gym with the office space that was not ample." Shen Lang explained solemnly.

The reporter asked again: "Do the employees come to exercise a lot after get off work?"

"There are still quite a lot, especially after get off work in the afternoon, there are many equipments that have to be lined up, and we also hired professional private trainers to teach the staff, and the effect is quite good."

Li Kaifu was about to lose his patience, he didn't care at all whether Shen Lang's employees would come to the gym after get off work, he already regretted bringing the reporter here.

After coming out of the gym, Shen Lang took them to the game area again.

Before Shen Lang started to introduce, the reporter asked in surprise.

"Mr. Shen, why do you still have a place in the company to play games for employees? Aren't you afraid that they won't be interested in going to work?"

Shen Lang said with a smile: "Games are actually a very good way to relax, and our company also has a dedicated game department. For every new game we make, we will also put the game demo we made in the company for employees to experience. Then listen to their opinions and make revisions, the reason why there are relatively few bugs in the internal test of [Ghost Blowing Lantern] is because we have repeatedly conducted internal tests here in advance.

The reporter looked envious, and helped Shen Lang make an advertisement: "Wow, it seems that I am really envious of Mr. Shen's employees along the way. They eat well, there is a special gym, and there are places where you can play so many games. Mr. Shen, are you still recruiting here?"

"Recruitment, of course, we still have great demand for excellent programmers, artists, and game planners." Naturally, Shen Lang would not miss this opportunity.

Just when Li Kaifu thought that Shen Lang would continue to delay, Shen Lang took the initiative to say so.

"The fifth floor is our office area. Mr. Li must be careful for a while, many of our programmers are your fans."

Li Kaifu's expression softened immediately when he heard that, and he quickly followed.

Sure enough, as Shen Lang said, when the employees at work saw Li Kaifu, they screamed frequently, and many people recognized him.

Shen Lang couldn't help laughing and cursing: "One by one, look at your worthless looks!"

The employees burst into laughter, but still frequently cast curious glances at Li Kaifu.

Li Kaifu also nodded to these employees in a very gracious manner. Afterwards, Shen Lang took Li Kaifu and his party to introduce him to the company's core department.

That’s right, it’s YY, and the introduction is very detailed. In addition to the YY theme, there are also YY logs, and the YY space that will be launched soon. The main reason for doing this is to create momentum for the YY space.

Li Kaifu is also very interested in YY. Before he came to the mainland, he heard the rumors that YY killed MSN.

The reporter is very curious about the upcoming YY space, and wants to dig out the news about the YY space.

Shen Lang also co-operated in bragging about YY space. Of course, the core point must not have been revealed.

Li Kaifu suddenly realized that he didn't come here to visit YY, so he reminded him.

"Mr. Shen, can you show me the 360 ​​ecological chain?"

To Li Kaifu's surprise, Shen Lang agreed very readily.

However, Shen Lang brought them to the 360 ​​security guards at the first stop, and he also focused on publicizing the deeds of a wave of Huaxia Honkers.

After finally waiting for the 360 ​​security guards to finish their tour, Shen Lang finally brought Li Kaifu and his party to the office area of ​​the 360 ​​browser.

However, at this time, it was twelve o'clock at noon, and the lunch break was up, and the employees all went to the restaurant to eat.

Shen Lang slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I was so excited when Mr. Li came, are you all hungry? Let's go, Mr. Lei has already prepared a restaurant."

Li Kaifu gritted his teeth secretly, if it was a coincidence, he could eat the keyboard on the table as chocolate!

　It's the last day today, friends who still have monthly tickets in their hands, let's vote, there are still more than 100 monthly tickets, and the monthly ticket is [-].
