"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to this year's Bing conference..."

As soon as Lu Qi spoke, the flashlights in the audience flashed again.

But those shining lights were partially blocked by his eyes, and his mind was also caught up in the breaking news.

"In 2008, Bing's U.S. search market share reached 41.7%, and revenue reached 16.1 billion, of which advertising revenue accounted for 85%. This means that our investment in Bing in the United States over the past few years has received an equal return.

.”

Bing is not a listed company, so there is no need to release financial reports to shareholders every year.

But starting from 2005, Bing will release corresponding plans on April Fool's Day and make public last year's financial statements.

Those achievements displayed in front of the world are like a dull knife, slowly cutting through Google's flesh.

Although Lu Qi doesn't know why Bing must be targeting Google, he knows that in the field of search, Google, which focuses on search, is indeed the most worthy competitor!

In this case, let the storm come more violently!

"This year, Bing will launch a comprehensive cooperation with Cheetah Browser, a subsidiary of China's Emperor Penguin Company. We will sign an annual search cooperation contract worth 1 billion with Cheetah Browser."

boom!

The audience immediately went into a frenzy!

Seeing this situation, Lu Qi raised his arms to press down, and continued with a raised voice, "In other words, Bing will serve as the sole search technology partner of Cheetah Browser and provide professional services to all users of Cheetah Browser.

Search for technical services!”

Just as Lu Qi spoke, a group of arms suddenly rose up.

The host and Lu Qi looked at each other and immediately picked up the microphone, "I would like to invite a reporter from the New York Times to ask a question."

"Mr. Lu, why does Bing spend such a large amount of money to cooperate with Cheetah Browser?"

"Gentlemen, in the past four months, we have carefully tested Cheetah Browser and collected user opinions from a small user group." Lu Qi replied, "As an important tool for users to surf the Internet, the browser needs to have a

A more convenient user experience, and the feedback we have received from users is that Cheetah Browser has such qualities."

"Mr. Lu, does this mean that Bing will compete with Microsoft?"

"Oh, no, no, gentlemen."

Lu Qi quickly waved his hand. Although Bing will become the opposite of Microsoft one day in the future, at least that day is not today.

"Bing focuses on search services and is committed to providing users with better search services..."

"Mr. Lu, may I ask..."

"Mr. Lu, may I ask..."

Facing the increasingly harsh questions, Lu Qi couldn't help but think of the boss's calm tone.

And his answer,

Also very orderly.

…

Hans watched the press conference of the World Trade Center in Manhattan that was simultaneously broadcast live on YouTube, and felt that his already tangled heart had already fallen into an ice cave.

Browser! That is the original source of Internet traffic. In the past, Netscape Browser and Microsoft Internet Explorer fought for this largest Internet traffic entrance. But now, Internet Explorer has become the browser tool with the largest number of users.

.Although it has been criticized by many people, it is undeniable that without IE, 70% of the traffic will be reduced.

But there is a Chinese Emperor Penguin company that dares to stand up and launch a browser product at this time? And Bing will actually reach a 1 billion annual cooperation with this company?

The important thing is that their Google Chrome browser is still open.

Why is this Cheetah browser launched first to seize the market, just like the dispute between gmail and gbmail in the early years?

Hans slumped on the stool, he could no longer care about the reactions of the two Google founders in the room.

Perhaps, they feel like they are in an ice cave.

Because, after Bing teamed up with Cheetah Browser to do this.

Google has a 12% share of the U.S. search market.

How long can it continue?

…

Half an hour later, when Lu Qi walked off the podium, the news reporters in the audience couldn't wait to disperse outside the door. They had to find a place to send out today's news because the news was so explosive!

Bing not only wants to seize more search traffic market,

It is more likely to shake Microsoft’s browser dominance!

What on earth were they thinking?

Turning the corner and walking into the passage, Lu Qi had forgotten the turbulent situation just now. At this moment, his mind recalled the conversation he had with the boss a long time ago.

"We must compete for the browser, the largest entrance to PC Internet traffic. After all, Google no longer has much ability to compete with us, but we need to continue. So in this next step, we must face

Competition between Yahoo and Microsoft.

But you don’t have to worry. Although Yahoo ranks second, it is not our opponent at all technically. And although Microsoft has dominated the browser industry for several years, as long as we lay it out properly, we still have a lot of calculations.

of."

Lu Qi's mind flashed back to the boss's calm smile with the corners of his mouth raised at that time. Although the three opponents he described had a combined market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, his tone was calm and calm.

"The European and American markets have their own rules, so we must abide by the rules to compete with them. We don't follow the route of rogue software and even paid specifically to silence the European and American antitrust agencies."
