When business tycoons are verbal battles, there are naturally countless people watching. Although Fang Li and the others are not doing this, it is difficult for netizens to sympathize with Baidu.

In the 2013 China Internet search engine industry, Baidu is absolutely NO1. Last year, 360 built a comprehensive search engine, but it was quickly rubbed by Baidu. As for Sogou, it also did not pose any threat to Baidu.

When it comes to monopoly, it is probably only Penguin who can compete with Baidu. The key is that Penguin now has an opponent like Yilan, and he is not as unscrupulous as before, but no one can shake Baidu's status.

"When will Baidu cancel the bidding ranking be qualified to say that others monopolize it."

This is what netizens think about this matter.

Liu Jun was so angry that he jumped but had no choice. While bidding rankings brought huge profits to Baidu, they also made users hate it because you can't tell whether the results you searched out are valuable reference information or simple advertisements. Generally speaking, it's fine, but it's not a mess. However, when it comes to medical and medicines, life-related matters, Baidu has no review of bidding rankings. It's not a big mistake for everyone to have no good impression of Baidu.

Of course, as a veteran in the shopping mall, Liu Jun naturally would not be so naive that he thought that fighting verbal wars would alleviate the current situation. The purpose of his doing this was nothing more than to gain sympathy, but to promote Nuomi.com.

Unfortunately, he did not gain sympathy, but the purpose of publicity was achieved. Liu Jun then openly declared war on Meituan, Dianshi.com and Dianping, and threatened to invest 10 billion in group buying business to build a nationwide group buying platform.

This statement caused an uproar. You must know that the "Thousand Groups War" has just come to an end. This largest melee in the history of the Chinese Internet has only burned 7 billion yuan in two years. Liu Jun said 10 billion yuan. No matter whether it is true or false, it is full of gimmicks.

Sure enough, Liu Jun's high-profile publicity has indeed attracted great attention from Nuomi.com, and some merchants have also begun to sway. After all, that's 10 billion. Although the three Dianshi.com have a large market share, they can't stand the money they have.

Moreover, for such rich local tyrants who have just entered the industry and are rich, merchants naturally want to take the opportunity to get some wool, so as not to be able to get the wool when they learn to learn the truth, and it will not be so easy to get the wool.

And this is exactly what Liu Jun wants. Of course, Liu Jun cannot be a fool if he can gain a foothold in the mall for so many years, but he doesn't mind others treating him as a fool. As long as he can attract merchants to cooperate with Nuomi.com and break Fang Li and others' blockade, the money will be worth it.

Therefore, some merchants began to try to contact Nuomi.com, and Nuomi.com did offer much more preferential conditions than Dianshi.com. For example, Nuomi.com does not charge any commission for all special products for group purchases, and even subsidize merchants for some low-discount products. For example, Nuomi.com also rewards cash for merchants with the top sales.

After a series of measures, Nuomi.com has really opened up the situation. Nuomi.com's market share has increased from 5% to 8%. Moreover, under Nuomi.com's crazy money-burning model, some users have also begun to be attracted by low-priced group buying products, and user traffic is also increasing.

Many businesses that are not highly valued on Dianshi.com, Meituan, and Dianping have turned to Nuomi.com.

Wang Xing specially called Fang Li to discuss countermeasures for this.

Fang Li smiled and said, "Will people spend so much money and not have some effect? ​​Don't worry, offline group buying is not about who has more money, but about who has more high-quality merchants. As long as we hold these high-quality merchants in our hands, he will not be able to make a fortune. Besides, someone helps us make the cake bigger, which is actually quite good."

"That's right." Wang Xing also smiled.

In fact, the reason why Fang Li and Wang Xing are completely unhappy is mainly because offline group buying is a temporary need. For example, having a meal with friends on weekends, singing, and washing feet, usually only consume once or twice a week, and the user stickiness is not high. Many users have several group buying apps on their mobile phones, and they basically use which one is cheaper.

The current user stickiness between Dianshi.com and Meituan is actually mainly supported by the takeaway module. After all, three meals a day are indispensable. After years of cultivation, many users have developed the habit of ordering takeaway, especially as smart phones are gradually becoming popular, ordering takeaway is more convenient. As long as Nuomi.com does not involve takeaway business, no matter how much money it is, it will be useless.

This is also the reason why Dianping accepts Penguin investment. Although Ele.me currently only accounts for 15% of the takeaway industry, it is not easy to survive tenaciously between Meituan and Dianshi.com.

On January 10, 2013, Dianping announced that it would accept Meituan's strategic investment of 110 million US dollars. Penguin officially became the largest shareholder of Dianping. At the same time, Dianping and Ele.com teamed up to create a new APP. The new APP will cover Dianping's group buying business and Ele.me's takeaway business.

Wang Xing flew from Beijing to Wuhan City and had an emergency interview with Fang Li.

"Dang Yan was blinded by Yan all day long. It seems that Zhang Tao had planned to join forces with us to deal with Nuomi.com, and it is true that the merger with Ele.me is concealed." Wang Xing said self-deprecatingly.

Fang Li smiled: "Actually, we have guessed that this day will come, right?"

"That's right, but who would have thought that they would move so quickly and chose such an opportunity." Wang Xing sighed.

"Normal, if we are in a different place, we will make such a decision. In fact, what I am most afraid of now is whether Dianping will cooperate with Nuomi.com." Fang Li frowned.

"This probably won't be true?"

"I hope not, either, otherwise we will be in big trouble."

Behind Nuomi.com is Baidu, and behind Dianping is Penguin. Logically speaking, these two companies should not join forces. However, things have completely deviated from the trajectory of their previous lives. Due to Fang Li's intervention, the takeaway industry has made efforts two years in advance. The group buying industry is not a pattern of Meituan competing with Dianping, but a three-legged stadium of Dianshi.com 40% Meituan 30% Dianping 15%.

If Dianping hadn’t had Penguin’s investment, it might have become the next Lashou. The purpose of Penguin investing in Dianping is also very simple, which is to snipe Dianfo.

As a disruptor, Nuomi.com seems to be a good option to cooperate with Dianping. After all, if Nuomi.com wants to gain living space between Dianshi.com and Meituan, it seems to be a good and only option to cooperate with Dianping.com.

Sure enough, the regional manager at the station soon reported to his superiors that all the stores that banned Nuomi.com had reopened to Nuomi.com at the request of Dianping.com. Obviously, the two parties had reached some kind of agreement.

On January 20, Baidu announced that it would acquire Nuomi.com with full ownership and launch Baidu Takeaway. Not only that, Baidu also announced on the same day that it would launch Baidu's third-party payment platform - Baidu Wallet.

For a time, the entire Internet industry was shocked. Whether it is Nuomi.com or Baidu Takeout, the weight is not as good as Baidu Wallet. Some experts even analyzed that the emergence of Baidu Wallet is likely to change the current pattern of the entire third-party payment industry.

No one expected that Baidu, which had previously been committed to a search engine, would suddenly enter other fields, and it would be so big of a move.

"It's messy, it's completely messy." Fang Li's first reaction was chaos. The appearance of his little butterfly finally caused a storm in the Internet industry. In his memory, Baidu Wallet and Baidu Takeaway should not be launched until next year. Baidu not only entered the market in advance, but also cooperated with Penguin.

This also means that it is difficult for Fang Li to use his memories of his previous life to gain a first-mover advantage. Every step he will have to take on himself!

Fang Li came out the window and pushed open a window. The biting cold wind was coming towards him with snowflakes. However, Fang Li ignored it and looked into the distance.

"Actually, it's enough, isn't it?" Fang Li murmured to himself.

Fang Li is no longer the time he traveled through time in 2008. In these four years, he founded the tutoring network, Dianshi.com, Yifu, AppTrea, Lilith Games, and Yida Sharing Technology. Although he was still catching up with the pace of BAT, they could be vaguely seen.

"Come on, Baidu, Penguin, Alibaba, see who will fall behind in the end and who will become the new overlord of the Internet industry!"

Good February 3, on the Little Year of the Lunar New Year, Fang Li went to Beijing to participate in the first rehearsal with makeup on the Spring Festival Gala. This rehearsal also means that the Spring Festival Gala has officially entered the countdown, and it is only 5 days before the New Year's Eve of this year.

"Mr. Fang." The programmers of Yipai came to see Fang Li and greeted him one after another.

Fang Lichong smiled: "How is it? Can you still bear it? The temperature in Beijing is very low recently, so you should pay attention to keeping warm, gloves and earmuffs with you."

The programmer smiled bitterly: "Mr. Fang, we basically live here now and we don't have time to go out at all. The heating here is very strong, so there is no need to worry about being frozen."

"Thank you all for hard work. This year, everyone's year-end bonuses are all *3. I'll give you another half month paid vacation next year."

"Long live the boss!"

After calming the employees' emotions, Fang Li asked about the work progress again, and the employees patted their chests and promised that there was no problem.

Fang Li chatted with Director Ha for a few more words, but the other party was too busy, so he said a few words and hurried to the backstage.

The list of programs this time has almost changed 60% from Fang Li's last time. Fang Li actually saw Celine Dion's name on the list, the one who sang [My Heart Eternal].

Back from Beijing to Wuhan City, Fang Li convened a joint meeting with executives from various companies.

"Although it's the New Year, our business has not been reduced. For example, Dianshi.com's New Year's Eve dinner group purchase, and delivery guys staying behind must be arranged, let alone Yifu. Zhao Lei and Liu Chang will join me for the New Year this year."
