Chapter 627 Search is the top of the food chain

He Yang has a military order, and if he doesn't finish Taobao this month, he will resign.

Zhou Buqi couldn't do without him, so he could only come forward in person to lobby Lao Ma.

The location was Lao Mo Restaurant again, but this time it was changed to a VIP box.

No outsiders.

"The C2C market is really created by you. Taobao is almost becoming synonymous with online shopping. What is the current market share? How much is it?"

"It's incomparable to your micro-point antivirus."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Being humble."

Boss Ma shook his head and said: "Beating eBay is just defeating foreign giants, but domestic companies still have big ambitions. eBay was bought by TOM Online, and there is also a new pat. Recently, the share of Taobao, It should be around 83%, and the share of those two companies is seven or eight points."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, quite a few!"

Boss Ma glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Weidian antivirus... and the Weidian security guard, what is the share? Over 95%?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head and said: "There are about 60 million computers with Internet access in the country, and the installation volume of Micropoint Antivirus has exceeded 55 million, which is just over 90%. The installation volume of Security Guard is only 50 million, and the market share is similar to that of Taobao. It's far away!"

Boss Ma said with a half-smile: "Why do I think there is something in your words? Young people should have the vigor of young people, don't pretend to be mature."

Zhou Buqi said: "Don't pretend to be mature, can you manage the company well? Okay, let me tell you a secret, Baidu has just held a board of directors, you know?"

"No attention."

"You are really... I know a little about the contents of the board of directors. Several major events were announced, and the news spread, which is enough to shake the industry."

Boss Ma raised his eyebrows, and tentatively said: "It must be related to me, right?"

Zhou Buqi snorted, "Even Penguin has made Paipai.com and is going to compete with Taobao. Do you think Baidu will just sit back and watch?"

Boss Ma opened his eyes wide and froze in astonishment.

Zhou Buqi took a deep look at him, raised his wine glass, took a sip of the sour red wine, and said lightly: "Old Ma, Li Yanhong has withdrawn from the Taishan Club now, and you will join in soon. Compared to me, I Take you as your own. This is a commercial secret, so don't talk too much, and you will cheat me when the time comes."

Boss Ma seemed to have forgotten to blink, and said in disbelief, "Xiao Zhou, are you kidding me?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Am I joking with you about this kind of thing? From the time he quit and you joined, this problem is settled, and you haven't seen the situation clearly yet?"

Boss Ma lost his composure and was dumbfounded.

If Baidu enters the C2C market and builds a website similar to Taobao, it will be a devastating blow.

Lao Ma never paid attention to Paipai.com.

It is true that the traffic of QQ is high, but the user base is mixed, and the result is that the credibility is not high. In contrast, although the traffic of Youyou.com is far inferior to that of QQ, the user group of Youyou.com is very good, bringing together a group of people with the most spending power in China.

Lao Ma wants to cooperate with Friends.com, which means a lot.

On the surface, it seems that it is united with Friends.com to fight against QQ traffic. Looking deeper, I want to use the platform resources of Friends.com to promote the wave of online shopping.

In fact, there is a more important point, that is, Lao Ma is very afraid of the group buying model of Xiaonei.com.

In domestic e-commerce, there are only two brands that can be sold, one is Taobao, and the other is Xiaonei group buying.

In the past year, the sales of group buying on Xiaonei.com was just over 400 million yuan.

Taobao’s sales are as high as 17 billion yuan.

Nothing compares.

But Xiaonei only caters to college students across the country. If this model is moved to Friends.com, it will become a huge competitor of Taobao.

In order to prevent problems before they happen, promote the cooperation between Taobao and Friends.com, so that this kind of thing can be avoided.

So Lao Ma had already made up his mind.

In any case, Taobao must reach an in-depth strategic cooperation with Friends.com.

Seeing Boss Zhou actively seeking cooperation, Lao Ma secretly rejoiced, feeling that everything was in his plan. The only downside is that Sun Tongyu's anger is not feigned, he really doesn't want to cooperate with Friends.com.

This made Lao Ma feel deeply disappointed. He felt that his most capable general was a bit outdated, his vision was low, and he couldn't keep up with the times.

But I didn't expect to hear such a sensational news at this time!

Baidu wants to enter the C2C business!

This is much more serious than Paipai, and even more threatening than Friends!

The PC era is the era of search.

Search is the biggest source of traffic.

Half of the turnover of e-commerce comes from search. Baidu is the largest search engine in China. Calculated by Taobao, 40% of the transaction volume is traffic brought by Baidu. Based on the turnover of 17 billion yuan last year, it is 6.8 billion yuan!

With Baidu's urgency, if they enter the C2C business, the result can be imagined.

Baidu will definitely block all Taobao products, and then list the products on its own platform. Many people even log in to Taobao through Baidu, and they may jump directly to their own platform.

Taobao's traffic has dropped by 40%, and no one can bear it.

Zhou Buqi saw the shocked and inexplicable look of Lao Ma, the corner of his mouth raised inadvertently, and he said to himself, Lao Ma, Lao Ma, you want to treat me as a winner, and I will treat you as a gold mine!

Isn't it just fooling around, let's see who can plot against whom.

Zhou Buqi grasps the information gap far beyond this era, and can walk around the layout. "E-commerce is still in its infancy in China, so even though Taobao is the only one, it is still full of opportunities. Especially e-commerce and search. The relationship is too close, Baidu has a search engine, which is a big killer, and it is very threatening!"

Boss Ma regained his composure, calmed down a lot, and said in a deep voice, "Ali has Yahoo!"

Zhou Buqi was amused, "Yahoo? Lao Ma, don't you joke with me? Believe it or not, in a month, the market share of Weidian Search will surpass that of Yahoo? At the beginning, after the acquisition of 3721, Yahoo had a market share of 70%. % more, and now only 7% are left.”

Boss Ma regained his aura, and said calmly: "We use Yahoo mainly to serve our own platform for search services."

"Have you made it?" Zhou Buqi snorted, "Yahoo has been bought by you for more than half a year. Have you integrated it? Have you mastered the search technology? Ma, don't brag in front of me. ?”

Ali is really a technology desert. They even bought Yahoo. As a result, they couldn’t figure out the search technology. It was not until 2008 that the integration with Taobao was completed.

Boss Ma didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, "It's almost done."

Zhou Buqi was very funny, shaking his head frequently, "Yahoo and Baidu are not in the same order of magnitude at all. Ma, it's already this time, and you still play sloppy with me?"

"What is sloppy eye?"

"Just stop pretending!"

Boss Ma was silent for a long time, "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Buqi said slowly: "Now it's not what I want to do, but what you want to do. I've told you about such business secrets, so what should I do? If so, you will be defeated by Baidu." , then I can't help it."

Boss Ma gave him a deep look, "Is this true?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Do you think I'm lying to you? Okay, just wait and see! The C2C industry is relatively complicated, and it is estimated that the preparation period will take a year, but when they secretly contact the supply chain, they are starting to prepare, you guys get the news."

Boss Ma sighed, "If Baidu really enters this industry, then the domestic Internet will inevitably have a big battle. This is much more intense than the battle between Weidian Antivirus and 360 Antivirus."

The big war is certain.

Wait until next year, "Battle of Hundred Treasures" will officially break out.

The two shielded each other and spread rumors about each other.

Taobao said that Baidu deleted the negative news related to melamine and did not give the common people the right to know. Baidu said that Taobao seriously infringed on the rights of sellers in order to please users...

Zhou Buqi came out to talk with Lao Ma in person, certainly not just for the cooperation between Friends.com and Taobao.

Neither of them mentioned a word about it.

This is the most basic consensus.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's better to strike first, and then you will suffer!"

Boss Ma hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "How about your micro-search? Can you really do it?"

Zhou Buqi said brazenly: "Take QQ in half a month, Yahoo in a month, Google in two months, and Baidu in three months!"

Boss Ma laughed angrily: "In terms of bragging ability, no one can compare to you."

Zhou Buqi looked indifferent, "Believe it or not."

Boss Ma sighed, "Hey, Baidu is at the top of the food chain. Nowadays, many netizens search in search engines first, and then look for products according to the guidance of keyword links. This will inevitably lead to control Baidu, which has half of the domestic search market, is at the top of the information retrieval food chain, once the water source is cut off on keywords, Taobao is likely to become an information island overnight."

Zhou Buqi was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma is Mr. Ma, and knowledge is high!"

"How about the micro-point search technology?"

"Excellent!"

"Blow lightly."

"Slightly worse than Google, but much better than Yahoo. When you bought Yahoo China last year, didn't you say you wanted to integrate search technology with Ali's business? Looking at it now, technology is technology, and business is business."

Boss Ma was most annoyed by people talking about technology with him, so he waved his hand, "Okay, the opponent's opponent is a friend. We have the same enemy in the matter of searching. We will talk about this matter later, and now the matter of Friends.com is settled. .”

"What is there to say? My plan is the final plan."

"The God of Wealth is very dissatisfied."

Zhou Buqi shook his head and said: "Lao Ma, Friends.com built its own website to help Taobao sincerely. Taobao has a huge commodity library, and Friends.com can present it to users in a better and more refined way, thereby improving Sales. Taobao is not good at doing this, nor does it have that technology. Let me help you do it and make a sample, and you can learn from it in the future.”

Boss Ma wanted to slap him in the face, and said angrily, "What does this have to do with technology?"

"The essence of the Internet is to change the existing way of life through technology and become smarter. You will know when the Taobao channel is online."

"Okay, let's wait and see!"
