I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 263 Can't beat it, let's join!
Two days after persuading Lu Jianguo, Lin Xiao met Li Yanhong.

In order to complete the task assigned by Lin Xiao, Dong Meilan specially accompanied Li Yanhong back together.

But out of the emphasis on talents, Lin Xiao went to the airport to pick him up in person.

Although he already knew that Lin Xiao was very young, Li Yanhong was a little surprised when he saw Lin Xiao.

"Boss Lin, I made several phone calls and finally met with you today."

After Li Yanhong finished speaking, Lin Xiao responded with a smile: "I am looking forward to Dr. Li."

"Go and see my two companies!" The three got into the car, Lin Xiao spoke first, and Li Yanhong nodded immediately.

During this period of time, Li Yanhong also had a general understanding of Lin Xiao through the information on the Internet. Thanks to this period of time, there was a storm of public opinion surrounding Lin Xiao, which made it very convenient for many people to get to know Lin Xiao.

After coming to Eternal Technology and Eternal Network, Li Yanhong was a little surprised.

He has also known some domestic Internet companies, most of which are a few founders together, and the scale is not large.

And he only saw a lot of people in each department in the Eternal Network Company.

Especially in the introduction of Lin Xiao and Chen Tianqiao, Eternal Network also has a sales promotion team scattered all over the country.

After walking around the company, Li Yanhong thought that Lin Xiao would sit down and talk to him about developing a search engine, but Lin Xiao didn't do that, instead, he took him to the Internet cafe unexpectedly.

"Dr. Li, let's go to a few Internet cafes and see what characteristics they have when surfing the Internet."

Lin Xiao took Li Yanhong around the Internet cafes, and Li Yanhong himself had good observation skills, but after looking at a few, he discovered an astonishing phenomenon.

"All of them access the website through a webpage called hao123 for surfing the Internet."

Li Yanhong said to Lin Xiao in surprise that he had never seen this in Silicon Valley of the United States.

In the United States, everyone's personal computer is used to setting the webpage as their frequently used webpage, and more and more people start to set the homepage as the search page, because in the United States, there are already many search engine companies.

Seeing that Li Yanhong had discovered his intention to bring him to the Internet cafe, Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, then threw out the first trump card, and said to Li Yanhong:
"If we put a search box on this page..."

Li Yanhong immediately realized the message behind Lin Xiao's words after listening.

At present, whether domestic or foreign, search engines are mainly placed on portal websites, and almost every portal website has a search engine function.

And like the current situation in China, everyone is using hao123 to surf the Internet. If you put a search engine on this page, it is equivalent to having a natural promotion channel and an environment for use.

And it doesn't need to go through a portal, but directly to Internet users.

As an industry insider who has worked in search engine technology abroad for many years, he will not be ignorant of the value of such an entry.

Thinking of this, Li Yanhong immediately asked Lin Xiao: "Is this also from the Eternal Network?"

"No." Lin Xiao shook his head and said with a smile, "However, it's mine."

Li Yanhong nodded silently after listening.

At this time, Lin Xiao said again: "Let's meet someone together. He is also a top expert in search technology. You should have something to talk about when you meet."

As he said that, Lin Xiao let out a soft "Oh" again, "By the way, I don't know if you have heard his name, Lu Jianguo."

Lin Xiao guessed that Li Yanhong knew about Lu Jianguo, otherwise, when he founded Baidu in his previous life, he would not have gone to Lu Jianguo to invite him immediately.

Sure enough, Li Yanhong immediately asked in surprise, "Lu Jianguo? Professor Lu Jianguo of Yenching University?"

"That's right." Lin Xiao responded with a smile, and then threw out the second trump card.

"He agreed to join my Chinese search engine project a few days ago."

After hearing this, Li Yanhong fell silent again. He finally saw clearly Lin Xiao's attitude and preparation for being a search engine.

At the same time, Li Yanhong is also pondering whether he has the ability to compete with Lin Xiao if he runs a search engine independently.

Seeing Li Yanhong's silence, Lin Xiao knew that the two trump cards he threw out had some effect.

From the very beginning, Lin Xiao was not prepared to persuade Li Yanhong by persuasion, but chose to show his muscles directly, because he knew that returnees like Li Yanhong were more confident and returned to China with great ambitions.

What Lin Xiao wanted to tell Li Yanhong was that he had much more tools than him.

There are application scenarios for hao123 out there, and I have a natural advantage in being a search engine.

And with Lu Jianguo around, Lin Xiao also changed his direction and told Li Yanhong that even if he didn't join, Lin Xiao could actually develop a good search engine.

What's more, I am looking for engineers in Silicon Valley to do search technology on a large scale. Of course Li Yanhong is one of the best, but he is not the only one.

Li Yanhong was obviously aware of this, so the next meeting between him and Lu Jianguo, who was about the same age, meant to learn from each other.

Then he discovered that although the two had their own strengths in technology, Lu Jianguo's technical strength was indeed no worse than his own.

The more they chatted, the more they felt sympathetic to each other.

At the end of the chat, Lu Jianguo had already proactively invited Li Yanhong and said, "Dr. Li, let's join this project together. Together, we will definitely be able to develop a very good search engine product."

Li Yanhong pondered for half a minute, weighing his chances of winning if he and Lin Xiao developed a Chinese search engine at the same time.

Finally found out...

If you can't beat it, join it.

"Mr. Lin, I have decided to join this project." As soon as Li Yanhong said this, Lin Xiao immediately extended his hand to Li Yanhong with a smile, "Welcome to join!"

Shaking hands with Li Yanhong, Lin Xiao's heart moved. He was planning to set up a new company anyway, so why not just sell it well? Thinking of this, Lin Xiao said to the two:

"Professor Lu, Dr. Li, I'm not going to put this search engine project in the ancient network company, but to set up a new company. Do you have any good suggestions for the name?"

After Li Yanhong heard it, he blurted out immediately: "Or is it called Baidu? Everyone searched for her thousands of Baidu, and suddenly looked back, but that person was there, in a dimly lit place. It is not only related to search and search, but also has artistic conception. It combines traditional Chinese culture and Chinese language. Search engines are very apt."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao was secretly happy. Li Yanhong was really prepared.

So, Lin Xiao turned his head to look at Lu Jianguo, and asked, "Professor Lu, I think this name is not bad, what do you think?"

"I have no objection." Lu Jianguo replied.

Lin Xiao also said to Li Yanhong at this time: "Then the name of our search engine is Baidu Search, and the company name can also be based on this."

"Okay!" Li Yanhong had a joyful expression at this time. The Chinese search engine he developed could use the name he had been thinking of together. For him, a literary youth, it was a dream.

Lin Xiao also had a happy expression on his face at this time, the name belongs to you, the company belongs to me, everyone is happy, perfect!

With joy, Lin Xiao said to Li Yanhong and Lu Jianguo: "If this is the case, then our project will officially enter the preparation stage from now on, Li Bo, you have thought about doing this before, do you have any plans? "

"Let's do project development first, and set up the technical team first!" Li Yanhong replied.

"In terms of the technical team, Professor Lu and I may not be enough, and we need to recruit some more people. At the same time, we also need a start-up fund of about 100 million yuan to solve the expenses of office, personnel and servers. "

"These are not problems." Lin Xiao said grandly, "For the start-up capital, I will invest 1500 million Huaxia coins first. As for other matters, you and Professor Lu will discuss it."

"Mr. Lin, why don't Li Bo and I have separate jobs?" Lu Jianguo said at this time, "I spent a lot of time in school before, and I don't know much about the company's operations, so I'll be responsible for technical development. Let Li Bo participate together, and let Li Bo take care of other things."

After Lin Xiao listened, he looked at Li Yanhong, who immediately nodded and said, "I have no objection."

Lin Xiao heard that this is the best way. This is really a bit like the model created by Baidu in the previous life. As for Baidu in the previous life, there was also a founder, Xu Yong, who was mainly responsible for capital operations and other things. Now he has his own Now, naturally there is no need for it.

Although the name is still Baidu, but with him, this Baidu will naturally not be the Baidu of the previous life.

At least, Baidu's criticized search ads, especially the notorious Putian hospital incident, must be curbed from the root.

But it’s not that far yet. The current project is still in its infancy. First of all, we have to set up a project team and establish a company.

Therefore, Lin Xiao said to the two of them: "Li Bo, Professor Lu, how long do you expect to be able to develop this project?"

The two looked at each other, and Li Yanhong replied: "Mr. Lin has such strong financial support, we can build a technical team in a short period of time, and then directly start project development. In this case... at most six months, I think It should be possible to develop a search engine.”

After listening, Lu Jianguo nodded beside him, "Six months should be fine."

"Okay, let's do it!" Lin Xiao said vigorously. "Looking forward to seeing your results in a few months!"

In fact, Li Yanhong and Lu Jianguo were full of enthusiasm without Lin Xiao's encouragement. They both love search technology very much. Building a Chinese search engine is a very tempting thing for them.

In the afternoon of that day, Lu Jianguo began to formally build the technical framework.

Li Yanhong was in charge of all trivial matters such as renting a house and recruiting people.

Originally, Lin Xiao was still thinking about whether to recruit one or two people from Gengu Network, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, and let Li Yanhong start from scratch.

After all, in the previous life, it was the other party who built Baidu.

If there is no accident, in the next few months, I don't have to pay too much attention to it, just wait for them to develop Baidu!
I'm going to be the flat boss again.
