Chapter 92 Baidu's Press Conference
Robin is confident that they will never be inferior to Google in terms of products, let alone Yahoo, which is the first search engine.

Later generations of Google surpassed Yahoo, and the essence behind it was the product advantages brought about by technological advantages.

In the early days of the Internet, the content of the Internet was limited, and with limited content, even if I used a better search engine, the content I could obtain was similar to that obtained with ordinary search engines.

At this time, users will prefer Yahoo, whose overall Internet ecosystem is mature enough.

When there are more and more Internet contents, the traditional portals cannot meet the increasingly complex needs, and at this time the technical advantages of search engines will be fully reflected.

In the era of mobile Internet, there is more content on the Internet, and the content produced by a few APPs is enough to meet the needs of users for a day. At this time, search engines are gradually declining.

"I also think it's a good thing to find Newman. Our products are too similar to Google. If we adopt traditional promotion methods, our user growth will be very slow."

Robin thinks so too, ready-made resources are useless.

Robin went to Zhou Xin and told him why he came, and Zhou Xin quickly agreed: "No problem.

I can even help you build momentum on Quora, does anyone else have an account on Quora besides you?
Let him ask questions on Quora, for example, how to evaluate Baidu's product, and then I will answer it below.

You can follow along with the answer yourself.

Including asking your colleagues to publicize in major online forums.

Search engines need long-term competition, and Google is only a little bit faster than you. As for Yahoo, Yahoo is not a search engine track.

He is more like an integrated Internet service body. "

Robin said gratefully: "Newman, thank you so much."

Zhou Xin has always had a hard time understanding that Baidu has a natural technological advantage and also has an advantage in traffic. If QQ has traffic, does Baidu have no traffic?

It is incomprehensible that Baidu is completely behind Zhou Xin in the mobile Internet era, and what is even more incomprehensible is that Baidu, which has a natural technological gene, has no output.

Of course Zhou Xin didn't see Wen Xin's words, if he did, it would be understandable.

After Microsoft launched ChatGPT, Baidu was able to come up with a product that could compete with them. Although there was a gap between this product and ChatGPT, there was at least one.Other big factories are still solving the problem of availability.

"Everyone is from Huaguo, you don't have to think of me as an investor, you can think of me as the co-founder of Baidu.

As a co-founder, isn't it a matter of course to be a Baidu platform? "

Zhou Xin doesn't know Robin very well, but according to media reports and some rumors, Robin is a person with a strong desire to control, so Zhou Xin didn't think about getting the actual control of Baidu.

Investing in Baidu is a purely commercial act. Firstly, Baidu's platform will push up Baidu's valuation, and secondly, it will also add obstacles to Google, so that Google cannot develop too smoothly.

"You can prepare the PPT well, and when the time comes to introduce Baidu's advantages in detail, I will participate at that time, and you can release this news.

At the same time, on the media side, I will also help you contact some well-known media. "

"Have you ever heard of Baidu? They sent an invitation letter, inviting us to attend their press conference."

"No, what do they do?"

"It seems to be a company that focuses on the search field, a bit like Yahoo."

"There are too many similar companies in Silicon Valley during this period, Yahoo is still ahead, and Google is also gaining momentum recently." The subtext is that there is no need for such a small company to hold a press conference.

"The investor behind them is Newman, and Newman will also participate in this press conference."

"Then let's go and listen. There must be something special about the companies Newman invests in."

Yes, in the current Silicon Valley, Zhou Xin's appeal is so amazing.

After Quora came out, Zhou Xin was regarded as another representative of Silicon Valley innovation.

The legendary experience and the seldom appearance in front of the media made Zhou Xin full of topics.

"Welcome everyone to attend Baidu's press conference. I am Robin, the founder of Baidu." Robin looked very confident in a blue and white striped polo shirt.

In terms of appearance, Robin is also the most outstanding one in BAT.

Pony horses are also ok.

"Baidu is a search engine that uses hyperlink analysis technology, which can help people find more accurately."

After Robin finished speaking, it was Zhou Xin's turn to take the stage, "Hello everyone, it's rare to have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with so many media friends.

I haven't known Robin for a long time, because I have always been interested in the field of search engines. At that time, a Chinese friend recommended Robin to me.

That’s what he told me at the time, Robin is the Chinese who knows the search engine best in Silicon Valley, and he can even remove the Chinese because he knows the search engine best.

Later, I went to investigate and found that he was right. Robin has a very deep attainment in search engines.

I have always wanted to invest in companies in the search field, but the technologies of other companies did not impress me, but Robin's technology demo can give me, this is the feeling I want.

Compared with Baidu, other search engines only stay at the search level, while Baidu can give you the content you want.

This is a very different concept.

Just like you want to find Newman, other search engines will find more than 100 million Newman in the entire American, and then let you filter which Newman you are looking for.

Baidu will also find these 100 million Newmans, but it will put me, the most famous Newman, at the top.

Make your search more directional.

At the same time I would like to announce that due to the rapid growth of content on Quora, users consistently report that they cannot view historical content very well.

Baidu will serve as Quora's built-in search engine. "

Yahoo later chose to let Google provide technical support for their search function, and Quora could also choose Baidu.

"Users can find previous high-quality answers through search engines at any time."

After Zhou Xin finished speaking, the applause from the audience was obviously much warmer.

Zhou Xin's speech at the Baidu press conference and the follow-up interview were quickly published in major magazines in Silicon Valley, and everyone who should know knew about it.

Google's Larry Page was very upset: "Newman invested in us and Baidu, but he chose to stand for Baidu and use Baidu as Quora's built-in search engine.

It's not fair to us. "

Sergey Brin is much calmer: "Newman is only one of our investors, but he is the only investor in Baidu. The level of support is obviously different.

And it has never been stipulated that if he invests in one company, he cannot invest in another company.

I just need to do what we should do well, and I don't need to pay too much attention to changes in the outside world. "

Yahoo was also stimulated, "How is Yahoo Answer ready?"

"It can be launched at any time, and the internal test is no problem."
