Chapter 133 Kneel down to Brother Lang

Lin Lang naturally couldn't answer that, he was developing Baidu in its infancy from the perspective of a time traveler.

Therefore, Lin Lang could only pretend to be profound and replied: "Everyone's brain circuits are different. Maybe my brain circuits are more unique!"

Li Yanhong said respectfully: "I admire Director Lin's advanced thinking and unique vision!"

"Mr. Li, you are too kind! Flattery is not our corporate culture at Baidu." Lin Lang put out the cigarette butt between his fingers into the ashtray.

"hey-hey……"

Li Yanhong smiled awkwardly and wrote down all the creative ideas for Baidu functions that Lin Lang had just proposed with pen and paper.

It is no exaggeration to say that every business idea that Lin Lang comes up with is worth a fortune and can make Baidu a ton of money in the future.

Lin Lang continued: "In addition to the search functions that I just mentioned, Baidu search engine needs to launch some Baidu community services."

"Director Lin, please go ahead and talk. I'm all ears."

Li Yanhong held a pen in his hand and looked at Lin Lang with bright eyes, as if he was longing for guidance from a famous teacher and asked humbly.

Lin Lang took a sip of mineral water and then said, "When we officially launch Baidu.com, we will launch Baidu Tieba and build it into the world's largest Chinese community."

Li Yanhong's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly asked, "Director Lin, please tell me more details."

Lin Lang patiently explained: "Tieba is a keyword-based theme exchange community. It is closely integrated with search, accurately grasps user needs, and is born out of interest."

“The mission of Tieba is to bring together like-minded people.”

"The establishment of Tieba relies on search engine keywords. Whether it is a popular topic or a niche topic, it can accurately gather a large number of netizens with the same interests, show their style, make friends with like-minded people, and build a unique 'interest-themed' interactive platform."

"For example, campus forums, celebrity forums, picture forums, forums in the same city, dating forums, broken-heart forums, etc. In short, whatever forum you want to create, you can apply on Baidu to create it and attract like-minded friends to join."

Li Yanhong was ecstatic after hearing this, and could not hide his excitement and said: "Mr. Lin, the business idea you proposed for Baidu Tieba is simply unbeatable!"

"I understand Director Lin's idea!"

"The so-called Baidu Tieba is to build an online communication platform in combination with a search engine, so that people who are interested in the same topic can gather together to communicate and help each other conveniently. Am I right?"

After hearing this, Lin Lang praised: "Mr. Li is an extremely smart technical expert. I like dealing with smart people like you."

"But Director Lin, creating a huge online community like Baidu Tieba requires a lot of staff to maintain and manage it. Isn't the operating cost too high?"

Lin Lang replied, "No. The maintenance and operation of Baidu Tieba will naturally be done by our Baidu official staff. As for handling station affairs, the forum members can do it themselves!"

"Director Lin, I don't understand. Can you explain it in more detail?"

Lin Lang patiently replied: "All keyword forums are created by forum members themselves, and we at Baidu have auditors to review and approve them. After a forum is successfully created, forum members who meet the activity standards can apply to become the forum owner of the keyword forum, and the forum owner will accept website affairs and manage forum members."

"Each keyword forum has N top moderators and N small moderators. The application and appointment and removal of top moderators are approved by our Baidu staff, and the appointment and removal of small moderators are approved by the top moderator of the keyword forum."

"The sense of achievement and honor gained by applying to become a Tieba moderator will motivate moderators of all sizes to manage and maintain each keyword Tieba on a daily basis without any investment from Baidu Tieba."

"To put it bluntly, no matter how large the Baidu Tieba community is, even if there are millions or billions of keyword Tieba, the forum owners will manage the forum and its users for free. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Li Yanhong could no longer sit still in his chair. Unable to hide his excitement, he stood up and paced around the conference room. He walked back and forth twice with his fists clenched, and his brain successfully digested what Lin Lang had just said.

"Brilliant!"

"Boss Lin, you are really awesome!"

"Director Lin, you proposed a Baidu Tieba management method whereby forum users can apply to become forum owners and manage the forum and its users for free. This is simply a genius idea!"

"Director Lin, you are truly a gifted business genius!"

"In this way, the daily maintenance and capital investment for Baidu to set up the Tieba community will not be very large. This Baidu Tieba project is completely feasible!"

Lin Lang said proudly: "In this era when the Chinese Internet is still lacking in information, our Baidu Tieba will be very popular once it is launched and will establish a huge community."

Li Yanhong rubbed his hands and said, "Awesome!"

"The launch of Baidu Tieba is imperative. Director Lin, if you have any insights on Baidu's functional innovation, please feel free to tell us!"

Lin Lang continued: "In addition to launching the Baidu Tieba community, we are also launching the Baidu Zhidao community."

"Mr. Lin, what is the concept of Baidu Knows Community?"

Lin Lang replied: "Baidu Knows Community is an interactive knowledge question and answer sharing platform based on search."

"The search model of Baidu Knows is that netizens raise questions in a targeted manner and mobilize other netizens to solve the problem through a points reward mechanism."

"At the same time, the answers to these questions will be further provided as search results to other users who have similar questions, achieving the effect of sharing knowledge."

"Just search Baidu and you'll know! Do you understand?"

Li Yanhong suddenly felt enlightened after hearing this. He was so excited that he clenched his fist and said to himself: "Just search on Baidu and you will know?!"

"Brilliant!"

"Just search Baidu and you will know!"

"Mr. Lin, this idea from Baidu is really amazing!"

"It can't be done, it can't be done!"

"I am so excited right now because of Mr. Lin's feasible suggestions on Baidu's functional innovation that I am almost going crazy!"

"My blood is boiling now. I feel full of energy. I can't wait to have a good fight!"

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Yanhong almost knelt down after hearing this, and he was completely in awe of Lin Lang.

Lin Lang said calmly: "Mr. Li, you don't have to be so excited. I still have many golden ideas to share!"

"what?"

Li Yanhong was shocked and said, "Director Lin, do you have any other good ideas?"

"Come on, come on!"

"Mr. Lin, please smoke first. I'll listen to you slowly tell the story! Hehe..."

Li Yanhong's eyes were full of admiration. He nodded and bowed as he lit a cigarette for Lin Lang. He already regarded Lin Lang as a god and was extremely respectful to him.

Lin Lang took a puff of his cigarette, continued to sit on the chair with his legs crossed and said: "Our Baidu search engine website is also going to launch the Baidu Encyclopedia community function."

"The so-called Baidu Encyclopedia is an open and free online encyclopedia. It is a Chinese information collection platform covering various fields of knowledge based on the Baidu search platform."

"It is also the further deepening of our knowledge search system after Baidu Tieba and Baidu Knows."

Li Yanhong's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he said, "Mr. Lin, your idea for Baidu Encyclopedia is great, but Baidu Encyclopedia's positioning covers almost all known areas of knowledge. The operating cost of a large number of employees editing Baidu Encyclopedia entries seems too high, right?"

Lin Lang replied with smoke puffing out of his mouth: "Mr. Li, you think too much. The model of Baidu Encyclopedia is still the same as Baidu Tieba and Baidu Knows. It is netizens who deal with netizens."

Li Yanhong chuckled and said, "I'd like to hear more about it!"

Lin Lang continued: "Baidu Encyclopedia emphasizes the participation and dedication of netizens, fully mobilizes the power of Internet users, gathers the wisdom of netizens, and actively communicates and shares."

"To put it bluntly, it is to create a Baidu Encyclopedia points system, offering rewards to Baidu netizens, in order to earn points, to edit Baidu Encyclopedia entries on their own initiative."

"So we, Baidu, don't need any employees to edit Baidu Encyclopedia entries."

"At the same time, Baidu Encyclopedia has been integrated with Baidu Search and Baidu Knows to meet the information needs of netizens at different levels."

Li Yanhong's horizons were opened after hearing this, and he exclaimed: "Director Lin, you are really an expert!"

"Using netizens to deal with netizens, this highly participatory mutual assistance model can not only increase the user stickiness of netizens, but also enhance the sense of existence and honor of netizens, thus obtaining a better user experience."

"The most important thing is that Baidu can save money. The cost of maintenance and operation can be reduced to a very low level. Such a powerful business operation model is not something that ordinary people can imagine."

"Director Lin is truly an expert in business operations!"

"With CEO Lin behind the scenes, Baidu will have no problem achieving great success!"

Lin Lang said modestly: "Mr. Li, you are overpraising me! I only know a little bit about business operations, just a little bit, just a little bit!"

Li Yanhong almost knelt down before Lin Lang, and said excitedly: "Director Lin, I, Li Yanhong, am a person who is proud of my talent. I have never admired anyone in my life. Today, I have benefited a lot from Director Lin's advice. My horizons have been opened!"

"I deeply admire and admire your wisdom and foresight, Director Lin!"

After hearing this, Lin Lang laughed and said, "Mr. Li, stop flattering me. Next, I will tell you about the creation of Baidu Library, Baidu Netdisk, Baidu Translate, Baidu Hot Search, Baidu Academic, Baidu Education and other functional sections."

Li Yanhong's jaw dropped after hearing this, and he said in an exaggerated expression: "No way?"

"Mr. Lin, you actually have so many great ideas for innovative functional sectors for Baidu. Isn't that amazing?!"

Lin Lang leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette in a pretentious manner while explaining in a pretentious manner that the innovative functions of Baidu's search engine website had broadened Li Yanhong's horizons and business landscape in advance, leaving Li Yanhong stunned.

Listening to Lin Lang's talk is better than reading for ten years.

I have to admit, Lin Lang was indeed impressed.

At this moment, Li Yanhong's admiration for Lin Lang was like the surging river, endless, or like the flooding of the Yellow River, unstoppable.

It is obvious that Lin Lang will make a fortune by spending 65 million Chinese yuan to acquire % of Baidu's shares, bringing in a generous return on investment of hundreds of billions.
