Chapter 1637 Going

Li Dong and Ma Yun made an appointment to meet in Huashan on the 10th, so naturally it is impossible to leave on the 10th.

On the 9th, Li Dong set off for Huashan.

Huashan is located in the east of Sanqin, not too far from the capital. In order to get to the place conveniently, Li Dong did not take a plane this time, but took a car to go there.

Today, Yuanfang's business is spread all over the country, and Li Dong doesn't have to worry about using a car wherever he goes. He can mobilize many vehicles locally at any time.

...

This time, Li Dong was not riding in his own car, but a vehicle temporarily called from the capital.

When we left the boundary of the capital city, Li Dong didn't care about the traffic lights ahead, and Tan Yong, who was driving, suddenly said, "Mr. Li, it seems to be Mr. Li's car from Baidu."

As a driver and head of the bodyguard, Tan Yong still has the qualities he should have. At least, he has good observation and memory skills.

He has not seen Li Yanhong's car many times, but he still has an impression.

It is Li Yanhong's Audi that is waiting for the traffic light ahead.

In the business world, I don’t know whether everyone avoids them subconsciously, or they really have their own hobbies. Most of the cars of the big names are not of the same brand.

Even if it is, no one will choose the same model.

There are quite a few people who drive Audis, but among the big names in the IT industry, Li Yanhong is the only one who still drives this car, and everyone else is a car of other brands.

Hearing that Li Yanhong was in front, Li Dong smiled and said, "Go and say hello at the meeting."

Seeing that he didn't call, Tan Yong looked helpless at the boss's expression. Obviously, the greeting the boss said was not a normal greeting.

...

ahead.

Although Li Yanhong was on the way, she was not idle.

While listening to the secretary's work report, he quickly replied: "The Phoenix Nest system should be switched as soon as possible. The bidding system has been criticized too much. Once the market accepts it, the bidding system will be taken offline quickly and seamlessly connected...

In addition, what is the progress of Qiyi.com's preparations?

if things go well,

Go online as soon as possible..."

The secretary hastily recorded what he said. The Qiyi.com that Li Yanhong mentioned, which will be iQiyi in the future, is a video website invested and established by Baidu.

Today, among the IT giants, only Baidu has a comfortable life, so Li Yanhong has the time and energy to build the Baidu ecosystem.

As for Ali, Teng Xun...

Teng Xun has become far away, and Ali is in a lot of trouble now, so naturally he has no time to go to multi-line layout.

While the secretary was recording, Li Yanhong suddenly said, "By the way, do you know about the food ordering website?"

The secretary hurriedly said: "I know, the online food ordering website that emerged from the Shanghai stock market has just entered the capital recently, and it has not long since expanded its business in the capital.

A few days ago, Mr. Gao also suggested to you that it is time for Baidu to deploy in the O2O field.

At that time, I talked about ordering websites and some group buying websites now..."

As Li Yanhong's secretary, there are some basic things that must be understood.

The secretary said, Li Yanhong shook his head and said: "It's difficult to manage the food ordering website, Mr. Zhang said that Baidu has also set up a group buying website, including catering O2O business.

Or simply acquire the ordering network and build our own O2O system.

It's a good idea, but it's unrealistic.

In the car, not only the driver and secretary were sitting, but also a Baidu executive.

The other party was sitting in the co-driver's seat. Hearing this, he turned his head and said curiously, "I've heard about Ordering.com. Recently, the other party has entered Zhongguancun, but the scale and strength are not too strong, so it shouldn't be worthy of our attention, right?"

IT companies have reached the level of Baidu and accounted for 80% of the market share in the search field. At this time, it is time for diversified development and a breakthrough from the application layer to the open platform.

Online video, third-party payment, e-commerce, Internet finance, group buying...

These things, as long as you have the strength, then go to the layout.

Compared with other businesses, group buying should be the simplest in the eyes of everyone in Baidu.

As for catering O2O, it is only a small part of it, and it is not worth mentioning.

But I don't know why Li Yanhong specifically mentioned Ordering.com at this time.

Li Yanhong shook his head without explaining, he knew Qin Yuhan.

At the beginning, he went to Pingchuan to ask Li Dong for help, and talked about Li Dong's acquisition of Baidu stocks. At that time, Li Dong picked him up at the airport, and picked him up by the way.

And who is it?

It was Qin Yuhan!

After Li Dong got married, Li Yanhong almost forgot about it.

As a result, Li Yanhong suddenly thought of this elementary school girl after seeing the information of the boss of the ordering website a few days ago.

Unexpectedly, the food ordering website was actually founded by Qin Yuhan.

After learning about this, Li Yanhong did some research and found out a lot of interesting things.

Yuanfang was a former member of the board of directors, and Qin Hai had been working at Ordering.com since he left, and the other party was also Qin Yuhan's father.

The food ordering network is rising rapidly and has abundant funds. According to statistics, the investment is no less than 50 million.

A college student who has just graduated, even if his father has been a distant executive, how can he have so much money?

Obviously, the source of this start-up funding is somewhat complicated.

In addition, that guy Li Dong is protecting the calf, who knows if he will show up in the end, which will lead to a head-on conflict between Baidu and Yuanfang.

Up to now, no one in the business world has seen through it, and Li Dong has followed him. No matter who wins or loses in the end, it will end badly.

If you lose, it goes without saying.

If you win, you are afraid that that guy will continue to fight with you, just like the current Ali, who is stared at from afar, under great pressure, and has the illusion that the building is about to collapse at any time.

Li Yanhong also didn't want to confront Yuan Fang for a small part of the layout, the loss outweighed the gain.

There is not much competition between Baidu and Yuanfang. In Li Yanhong's opinion, the value brought by a catering O2O is not as great as the value of cooperation with Yuanfang.

Just when Li Yanhong was considering whether to stagger this link, there was a sudden sound of a horn behind him.

Li Yanhong frowned slightly, but did not speak.

The driver and others didn't say anything, they were driving normally, and there was no need to talk to them.

As a result, the horn sounded louder and louder. It wasn't just a car, but several cars were coming from behind, as if they were trying to force a stop.

Now, the driver couldn't help but said, "Mr. Li, you've left the capital now..."

Out of the capital, it means that anything can happen.

There are so many cars suddenly coming out on this halfway, who knows what will happen after they stop.

Li Yanhong frowned, and was thinking about what to do when she saw a car behind her suddenly driving over to keep pace with her own car.

Immediately afterwards, the other party's car window opened, and Li Dong smiled and shouted: "Lao Li, the robber is coming!"

Li Yanhong heard the voice, turned her head to look at Li Dong's face, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "This bastard!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yanhong greeted: "Stop."

The driver also recognized Li Dong at this time, and slowly stopped the car on the side of the road ahead.

Li Yanhong waited for the car to come to a complete stop, opened the window and cursed: "Pay attention to your quality, you really thought you were going to be robbed in the middle of the road!

You can do this kind of thing! "

Li Dong laughed and said: "Idle is idle, don't talk nonsense, get in my car, there is no one to talk to on the way, let's make a companion and chat a few words."

"Not on the way!"

"What the hell, aren't you going to Mount Hua?"

"It's not the right way to go!"

"It's still hypocritical. Believe it or not, I called my sister-in-law and said that you were alone in the car with your secretary. I let you get in my car. You are unwilling to live or die..."

Li Yanhong's face was covered with black lines, completely speechless.

Although he and Li Dong didn't get in touch very often, they had known each other for several years after all. Sometimes when they attended some gatherings, Li Yanhong would bring his lover to attend.

His wife is from Pingchuan, so she and Li Dong are half of the same village.

I have met several times, and because we are fellow villagers, the two sides are familiar.

Li Dong was not polite to them, but respected their family members, his sister-in-law shouted, but Li Yanhong's lover felt that Li Dong was quite gracious.

Li Dong said that he would call to file a complaint, of course he was joking.

But at this point, Li Yanhong couldn't laugh or cry, and told some people in the car, and then got out of the car and got into Li Dong's car.

...

in the car.

Li Yanhong laughed and scolded as soon as she got in the car: "You're threatening me, believe it or not, I'll call Mr. Shen to complain!"

"I have something to sue..."

"Ordering Network..."

Li Yanhong said something in a low voice, Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said indifferently: "The investigation is quite detailed, what do you want to be a spy?

Or is Baidu ready to enter the market? "

"Some ideas."

Li Yanhong did not deny it, and thought for a moment and said: "With the advent of the mobile Internet era, the IT industry is also changing.

Focusing on community-based, localized lifestyle platforms still has a bright future.

You are all laying out for O2O, and you are all laying out for Internet+, and Baidu can't lag behind naturally.

A single search service can no longer satisfy Baidu's current development..."

Li Dong pondered: "These are your company's own affairs, and I have no right to interfere.

How you want to arrange it is also your business.

As long as there is legitimate business competition, what else can I do for this matter?

What's more, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, who knows if you will be shot to death on the beach, you can enter the venue if you want. "

Li Yanhong understood, and couldn't help laughing: "That's true, so let's not talk about it.

By the way, do you have any good suggestions for going to Huashan this time? "

"suggestion?"

Li Dong said strangely: "If you want any advice, it's enough for everyone to eat, drink, and have fun.

I'm not a tour guide. If you want advice, I'll find a tour guide when the time comes. "

Li Yanhong laughed, shook her head and said, "It's not true."

Li Dong smiled and said, "It's not that I'm being dishonest, it's that I really don't have any good advice.

Just chat casually, not to fight.

This is a rare opportunity, and we haven't been together for a long time.

When Ma Yun mentioned this matter, I just thought about it, and we got together to chat, so I agreed.

It turned out to be a good thing, it was you people who insisted on doing it with great fanfare, as if you were going to the battlefield.

Well now, outsiders are saying that we are going to divide the territory.

Actually, there is no such thing.

Besides, the land has already been divided up by us, so do we need to divide it again? "

Li Dong casually said a few words, then changed the subject and said: "Don't mention this, not long ago, didn't you put forward a technical concept of 'box computing' at the Baidu Technology Innovation Conference?

These days, there is a lot of news outside, but it has been ignored.

Let me ask the truth, can you realize automatic computer identification now, or are you manually involved in information sorting? "

Li Yanhong smiled wryly, "What do you think?"

Li Dong understood, then shook his head and said: "You still use the same old routine, and after a while, I'm afraid it will be a bidding ranking model again in the end.

I still have some expectations for you. If your side can really do this automatically through a computer, then I would like to introduce it to the far side.

The current big data and open platforms are not very reliable, and the main thing is actually manual retrieval.

Too much trouble!

It’s okay to process less data, but sometimes it’s impossible to respond to a lot of data.

In recent years, the network has developed rapidly, and some existing technologies can no longer keep up with the pace. If new technologies emerge, it can be regarded as making some contributions to the development of the IT industry. "

The reason why Li Dong mentioned this is mainly for the next Double Eleven service.

Baidu's frame calculation technology is actually not complicated to say, it is to perform precise search and positioning.

Enter a keyword, Baidu will recognize it, and the result you want will appear.

In fact, it is the future Baidu model.

Before the implementation of Baidu box calculation, Baidu's search page actually had more than one search box, but many categories.

But in the later period, Baidu canceled these, leaving only a search box, which is the simplification brought about by the use of box calculation.

Nowadays, because the technology is not up to standard, although platforms such as Yuanfang Mall and Dibao also have search services, the positioning is not very accurate, and the data processing is also very complicated.

The big data business has just emerged, and the processing is not too precise.

If Baidu Box Computing has a breakthrough development now, platforms like Yuanfang Mall will be able to streamline the search and classification of the homepage search box.

It may not seem to be very useful at ordinary times, but when it comes to promotional activities, the more people participate, the more useful it will be.

Being scorned by Li Dong, Li Yanhong smiled and said nothing.

Nowadays, in the professional field, many people are still exclaiming that box computing will change the future of IT.

However, for people like Li Dong, what is touted is not worth mentioning, the key is to be practical.

But when he heard this, Li Yanhong still thought deeply: "I think Yuanfang's current technical foundation should be sufficient to meet your needs.

You are eager to be concise and precise, is there any next action? "

Smart people can often see something through a few words.

When Li Yanhong asked, Li Dong was also unambiguous, nodded and said: "Yes, I want to use the technology on Weibo for precise location search.

Now Weibo has hundreds of millions of information to process every day, and it is often difficult for users to find what they want to see and know.

In addition, Weibo is still closed now, and I also want to take this opportunity to make Weibo an open platform to connect more collaborators.

The concept of box computing is actually not uncommon. Isn’t it actually the initial application of AI?

Speaking of which, this time we can have an in-depth chat at the party. With the rise of industries such as big data and cloud computing, the foundation of AI has actually been established.

Today's complicated manual identification and manual information sorting can no longer keep up with the pace of the times.

For example, Yuanfang Mall can handle 1 million or even 10 million orders every day, but once it handles hundreds of millions of orders, it is unrealistic to rely on manpower.

You can sell so many things, and the platform can't handle it..."

When Li Dong said this, Li Yanhong said noncommittally, "Let's wait until your daily order exceeds 100 million."

Although Yuanfang Mall is developing rapidly, its performance in the first half of the year even surpassed that of Amazon.

However, the performance does not represent the number of orders processed. The daily transaction volume of Yuanfang Mall is about 800 million yuan, and the average transaction volume of each order is more than 250 yuan.

In other words, Yuanfang Mall currently processes less than 4 million orders per day.

The daily processing orders are hundreds of millions, and the daily transaction volume has also increased by at least 30 times.

In fact, it should be more than 30 times. Such a large transaction volume shows that users are highly enthusiastic about buying, and the transaction volume per order may be higher.

That is to say, hundreds of millions of orders are processed in a single day, and the minimum transaction volume will not be less than 30 billion.

What is the concept of a daily trading volume of 30 billion!

At least for now, no company in the world can achieve such performance.

If this is the case throughout the year, the annual revenue will exceed 10 trillion yuan. Among the top 500 companies in the world, the top four can be worth it together.

Now there is no company in China that has this hope, let alone 10 trillion, and there is no telling when it will be 2 trillion.

Seeing that he was noncommittal, Li Dong smiled and said: "I didn't say it's like this every day, forget it, let's not mention these for now, let's talk when we get here.

Having said that, don't you have a soft spot for AI?

Why don't you talk to me? "

Li Yanhong glanced at him, and said after a while, "Since when did I have a soft spot for AI?"

"Haha, that's because I remembered wrongly, but there is still a prospect..."

Li Dong doesn't care either. The development of artificial intelligence is not a robot or something as imagined by the general public.

The current IT industry has actually reached the time when these are needed.

At the very least, some data processing, analysis, and calculation, with the cooperation of artificial intelligence, can achieve very good results.

Let’s talk about Double Eleven. Li Dong wanted to achieve a daily transaction volume of 100 billion. Without the cooperation of big data and AI, even if there were so many orders, the platform would not be able to handle them.

But now the conditions are not mature enough. This time, Li Dong also knows that he will definitely not be able to achieve a record of 100 billion.

It would be a miracle if it could exceed 20 billion.

But even if it reaches 20 billion, it is an unsurpassable legend in the field of e-commerce.

Li Dong is looking forward to it now. When everyone is gathering tomorrow, Yuanfang will start a promotional activity. How will Lao Ma react.

I remember that in the previous life, Ali also launched Double Eleven in 2009. I don’t know if he has taken action in this life.

But looking at the situation now, there seems to be no movement on Ali's side, and it may not be possible to do it.

...

Along the way, Li Dong and Li Yanhong chatted, but the time passed quickly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the car stopped in front of a hotel at the foot of Huashan Mountain.

As for the hotel, this time it was also taken over by Li Dong and the others, and a banner was hung up in front of the hotel early, nothing more than a warm welcome to so-and-so.

Li Dong glanced at it, but didn't care.

This gathering has been heated up, and now everyone knows that they will gather here, and there is no value in hiding it.
