Chapter 635 The Data That Shocked Old Zhang

Bill Gates has come to China.

As the leaders of this matter, Zhou Buqi and Zhang Chaoyang naturally received a grand reception from the officials. It's not that a mere CNNIC can control the field, the Chinese Academy of Sciences can't do it, and the Ministry of Information Industry doesn't have enough. A higher-level leader came to receive foreign friends.

There were 50 minutes of friendly and amicable talks.

Zhou Buqi refused the invitation and did not participate in the meeting, expressing that he did not want to be on TV and could not cope with such an occasion. Together with Zhang Chaoyang and the leaders of CNNIC, we drank tea, chatted and waited in the small room next door.

CNNIC is the National Internet Network Information Center. Many authoritative data reports on the domestic Internet are compiled and published by this organization.

While chatting, we talked about Ziweixing's acquisition of Sogou for US$80 million.

Director Liu couldn't help being curious, and asked, "It really cost 80 million US dollars?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "At first, he asked for 100 million U.S. dollars in a big way. I just said it and reduced it by 20 million U.S. dollars."

Director Liu was astonished and said, "Do you really want so much?"

At one time, he thought it was just a hype between the two parties, and offered a sky-high price to help the two companies increase their brand awareness.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true!

Zhang Chaoyang sighed, and said bitterly: "80 million is 80 million, but it's been three months, and I haven't even seen a penny!"

"Ah? What's going on?"

"He doesn't give money!"

Zhang Chaoyang looked aggrieved.

Zhou Buqi felt that Lao Zhang was indeed loyal and willing to cooperate with him, so he smiled and said: "Our company has only been established for a few years, how can we have so much money? We can only pay the bills first. When will we have money in the future?" , add more."

Director Liu laughed out loud, "So it's an empty-handed white wolf! Mr. Zhou's level is really high!"

Zhang Chaoyang knew that this kid didn't like publicity and that he didn't show his wealth, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Director Liu, how can you do business like this? After Sogou was bought by him, it was changed to Weidian Search, and it's doing so well now. , how much is it worth? If I knew this, let alone 80 million US dollars, I would not sell 100 million US dollars!"

Director Liu, the peacemaker, said with a smile: "You can't say that. You can do a micro-search. That's Mr. Zhou's ability. Besides, you can also pay interest on debts."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "That's right, it's not that I won't give you interest, what are you in a hurry for?"

Zhang Chaoyang glared at him and snorted.

Cursed in my heart.

Depend on!

I was tricked by this kid again!

Interest?

Interest shit!

In October, the acquisition of Sogou was concluded. Even if he cashed out the Google stock at the end of this month to pay back the debt, he still owed it for 3 months. The principal of 80 million US dollars, even if calculated at an annual interest rate of 8% of the debt, will have to give 81.6 million US dollars by then!

This kid spoke better than he sang, and he never mentioned interest, but he was a good boy when he got a bargain in front of the leader.

CNNIC is an enterprise in name, but in fact it does not distinguish between government and enterprise. Director Liu is very good at chatting. , Your micro-point is too powerful. My granddaughter is only 8 years old, and she told me to install micro-point anti-virus, and the advertisement is really powerful."

Zhou Buqi said with a headache: "I have been reported by my peers, saying that the advertisement is too brainwashing and the impact is not very good. I guess it will have to be withdrawn in the next year."

"Haha, it's quite brainwashing."

"I think it's because the advertising plan is good, and the colleagues are enemies."

"A market economy, as long as it's legal and compliant, and conforms to the values ​​of a harmonious society, it's fine. By the way, your micro-search is doing well!"

Zhou Buqi was very modest, "It should be okay."

Director Liu said: "How much is the search volume every day? The scale is not small, right?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that, I don't pay much attention to things like market share."

Director Liu was very surprised and couldn't understand. He felt that Xiao Zhou was really a weirdo.

If you don't care about market share, what do you care about?

Back then, he led the CNNIC Chinese plug-in to fight with 3721. Wasn't the fight for market share?

Kindly educated: "Mr. Zhou, this is wrong. You are the boss, and you have to grasp the direction and implement it. How do you judge the results? It has to be reflected in the data."

Zhou Buqi bowed, and laughed at himself: "It's mainly because of dense data and messy formulas, I can't understand it either."

Director Liu just laughed, and pointed at him, "Xiao Zhou, don't set me up. Ziweixing is doing so well, why can't you understand the report?"

Then, he turned around and gave instructions to the secretary, asking him to take out this month's search data.

CNNIC holds the main data of the national Internet, and the data they produce is much richer than that of Ziweixing. However, it is only the end of January, and a lot of data has not been audited and collated, and the accuracy is not too high.

Ten minutes later, the secretary divided the copied materials into several parts and passed them on.

January is the winter vacation, so it is the peak season for surfing the Internet.

Zhou Buqi still remembers the data in December, the total search volume in a single month is about 3.3 billion times.

Today is only the 25th, and the search volume has already reached 4.2 billion times!

Look at the data below... Zhou Buqi nodded secretly, Zhang Chaoyang froze suddenly, turned his head in disbelief, and stared at him, as if bewitched.

What a joke!

too exaggerated!

The number one market is still Baidu, with 2.08 billion searches and a market share of 49.5%.

But the second place...is not Google, but Weidian!

In the past 25 days, netizens have completed 1.36 billion searches through Weidian search, with a market share of 32.3%!

Google ranked third, with 580 million searches and a market share of 13.8%.

Next is the Yahoo search system, and the market share has dropped to 3.1%.

Dozens of other search engines are basically full of food.

Compared with December, Baidu's market share has dropped from 65.7% to 49.5%, Google's market share has dropped from 16.2% to 13.8%, and Yahoo has become a marginal product, from 7.8% to 3.1%. .

It's too awful!

The main reason is that Yahoo search is really not working. Earlier this month, there was a report on domestic search engines in 2006. It is said that in the user evaluation, Baidu search is the most popular, and Yahoo search is the most rubbish.

However, judging from the material in hand, Google's user base is the most loyal, and under the impact of Weidian Search, its market share has decreased the least. Baidu is the hardest hit.

Zhou Buqi secretly sighed, thinking that a person like Director Liu might suffer from poverty? Holding power in your hand is equivalent to having first-hand information.

Baidu suffered such a big blow, the news spread, and the stock price must have plummeted.

As long as you contact your relatives in the United States and short Baidu in advance, financial freedom is very easy.

As for this material... Zhou Buqi was not too surprised.

He said he didn't care about the data, but Weidian search is the core strategy of Ziwei Star. How could he, a big boss, not care? Such a market share is not beyond his expectations.

Even he feels that the 32.3% market share is less.

In the previous life, the market share of 360-series browsers was 70%, and the search share reached 30%. Now the micro-point browser market share is 80%, only 32.3%, which is really not that high. In particular, the micropoint security browser is still bound to the Hellologo navigation page, and the default micropoint search will only increase the search share.

The reason is also very simple, because the micro-point browser is a new product.

Many users did not download and install it on the 1st of this month.

Today is the 25th, and he may have been a user of Weidian Search for only 3 days. It is not surprising that the proportion of share is lower than that of 360's supporting facilities.

Waiting until next month will be the time to test the results for the first time. However, it will take a longer period of time to really verify who is No. 1 between Weidian and Baidu.

Micropoint Search is a new product, and users are very curious, and they all try to use it.

If you feel that the experience is not good, maybe you will still switch back to Baidu.

So when doing search, we still have to look at it in the long run. Don't say that it is now the second in the market, even if it surpasses Baidu and is the first in the market, this result does not mean anything.

But Zhang Chaoyang was different.

He felt like he couldn't breathe anymore, and felt that his hands holding the document were shaking.

Shocking!

When Sogou handed over to Weidian, its market share was only 1%.

Even in December, relying on Ziweixing's channel resources, Sogou's market share was only 1.9%, ranking fifth in the country.

Unexpectedly, from "Sogou" to "Weidian" and changing the skin, it will turn around and change from a marginal product to the pillar of a domestic search engine!

Who should I ask for reason?

Not to mention surpassing Google, you can even wrestle with Baidu, and this has only been online for less than a month!

Director Liu is also an expert. After carefully reading the report for a while, he said earnestly: "Mr. Zhou, the results of Weidian are gratifying, but there are also hidden dangers here. Look at the number of requests for this keyword, Weidian only accounts for 28.7% , but Baidu is as high as 58.8%. This shows that users still prefer Baidu when they are serious about searching.”

The proportion of keyword requests can reflect the degree of user approval.

For example, search for "Friends Network", which is a keyword. This is a random search, you can use any search engine, and you can enter the homepage of Friends.com through the search engine.

But if you search for "Which is fun, Friends.com or Xiaonei?"

This is a number of keywords, which is a serious search. At this time, users will choose the search engine they think is reliable to use.

The data shows that users choose Baidu.

Micro-point search has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even Google's keyword search accounted for only about 10%. That is to say, only about 10% of users in the market truly love Google search from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Buqi didn't care much about these data, and said with a smile: "Yes, Weidian is a new product, how can it compare with Baidu? The main reason is that panda burning incense is very popular now, and netizens are using Weidian because of the popularity. .After this gust of wind, the micro-point search will be revealed."

"Humble! Be humble!"

Director Liu laughed, thinking that this kid is ignorant and can do superficial kung fu, so he is worth dating.
