Chapter 57 - Yunge Search

After sorting it out, no one thinks that Luo Sheng spent 30 million in acquisitions is an injustice, which definitely allows Yunge to enter the search engine market by more than one or two steps, which greatly increases Yunge search 's confidence in later ranking .

Time goes by day by day, the development progress of cloud song search continues to advance, the development of the post bar is also constantly improved, and internal testing has begun.

For the newly acquired company, two people are responsible for the maintenance of this house. It is not that Luo Sheng spent 30 million yuan to buy it, but it is really too simple. It does not need many people at all, and how often. It 's a big update. Otherwise, it 's almost four years since the company was founded. Only Li Xinping can take care of it alone. Besides, Li Xinping is also working on the 4399 website.

Everything went well, and Luo Sheng requested to go online before December, and no surprises were no suspense.

During this period, the news of the change of the owner spread in the industry, and has been reported in the industry through media reports, and it was quickly determined that the rapid rise of Bluestar Technology acquired this navigation site.

As one of the "BALT" star internet startups, every move has attracted much attention in the industry.

The focus of the industry's attention is that Luo Sheng actually spent 30 million yuan of funds and bought a website with only one person. The simplicity and simplicity of the website are so simple that anyone can easily copy one out, or a Yahoo! He actually spends 30 million, which seems to many people in the industry feel incredible.

There were even rumors that Luo Sheng was taking the opportunity to transfer funds and illegally cash out.

After all, Luo Sheng is a social networking site. What is the significance of the acquisition? The key is to spend so much money.

In the following days, several major VCs including Softbank, Goldman Sachs, Venture Capital, IDG, etc. all called Luo Sheng and asked about this.

Luo Sheng put all the investors back in one sentence: Do n't ask, do n't think, do n't doubt, or wait for the company 's financial expenditure list to be sent to the audit, and then ask again.

This makes investors very angry.

Well, just wait, you can only wait.

Investors also know that Luo Sheng's recent actions have been frequent. From the external recruitment, we can see the clue that he wants to enter the search engine market.

In fact, at this point, investors want to ask Luo Sheng, as a latecomer, what do they use to compete with rivals such as Baidu, Google and Yahoo?

Although the current domestic search engine market is still in a slaughter situation, what advantage does the new search engine that Luo Sheng makes against these old players?

But the investor chose to shut up because they knew that even if he asked, Luo Sheng would say the same thing.

Before he overturned the car, the investor really had nowhere to beat him. Instead, Luo Sheng told them about the development of the blue space, and the picturesque growth made them seem to have nothing to say except to shut up.

What the outside world does not know is that when Luo Sheng spent 30 million in the acquisition, Baidu was panicked inside. Li Yanhong was also thinking about it. He actually took it seriously and already had the idea of ​​acquisition.

The reason is simple. By around October of this year, hao123's search requests occupied more than 35% of the whiteness traffic, and it is still growing rapidly. This can only be seen by the whiteness internal data, and the outside world does not know.

That is to say, suppose there are 10 netizens now using whiteness, and 3.5 of them have entered the whiteness search page through website navigation.

This is amazing. What's more horrifying is that it is still growing rapidly. If this trend continues, it will be able to break 40% next year.

And hao123 is now bought by Luo Sheng's stubborn step. What makes Li Yanhong even more disturbed is that there are various signs that Bluestar Technology is going to enter the search engine market.

In other words, the whiteness of the navigation links will not be the first choice? Or will it be placed in an almost neglected corner? Or if Luo Sheng cuts the whiteness directly,

Switch to the search engine of Bluestar Technology?

If the worst situation occurs, it means that the whiteness will be intercepted by more than 35% of search requests in an instant, and these traffic will be intercepted in the search engine of Bluestar Technology, including Google search engine.

Finally, the news that Bluestar Technology, which has been circulating in the industry for a long time, entered the search engine market was confirmed on November 25.

On this day, Cloud Search was officially launched, and there was also a Cloud Search post, and the updated version was ushered in. The result that Baidu and Google were most unwilling to see was finally staged.

Luo Sheng's trick is not too hard!

Directly and completely intercept the flow, your Google link entry, whiteness link entry, starting today, do n't even think about getting a search request from the website navigation, even if you do n't give a marginal bit, just cut it off.

After the updated navigation website, the most prominent search box at the top of the webpage is Yunge Search. The left side of the search box is the cloud song search logo icon. Click the mouse to jump to the home page of Yunge Search. [Confirm search on the right side of the search box ], Clicking with a mouse will also jump to the homepage of Yunge Search.

And the homepage of Yunge search should not be too concise, which fully demonstrates minimalism.

The most striking part of the entire page is the search box in the middle. The confirmation button for whiteness is on the right side of the search box, while Yunge Search is in the middle part below the search box, and the search box is [Search / Search].

Above the search box is the cloud song search logo icon-[云 歌 / YunGe], which is also a bilingual icon, all in a cloud.

This is also Luo Sheng's suggestion of cloud services, but now there is no concept of cloud computing and cloud services, but now no one can peep into the foreshadowing that Luo Sheng has buried in it.

The homepage of Yunge Search put the "simple minimalism" to the extreme. Even the posted posts that are online simultaneously are not in the prominent position of the page, but in the upper left corner.

Originally, the project development team Feng Yi wanted to put the sticker label next to the search box of Yunge.

But Luo Sheng refused.

If it weren't for Feng Yi and Yu Jun who insisted collectively, Luo Sheng would even like to remove the posted tag from the main search page.

Well, Feng Yi and they want to put the slogan of Yunge search "The world is complicated, Yunge knows you better" under the logo.

But Luo Sheng refused.

The search engine is just an entrance. There is no need to be so fancy. The addition of ten words means that the two words "cloud song" on the page will appear in the slogan and logo icon at the same time.

This made Luo Sheng intolerable.

In the end, simplicity was minimal. Opening the search page was comfortable!

This is the user experience.

As a result, Yunge Search has hardly changed in the next ten years or so, because it has been simplified to the extreme since it was launched, but Yun Ge Search is updated every year.

Only the size, spacing, angle, color, and font of the five letters of Yunge / YunGe and the two Chinese characters changed.

The comparison of cloud song search is now the whiteness of the domestic market share of more than 45%, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. com and more than 20% of Google or other search engines, the simplicity of their pages has reached the extreme.

Search Google, the latter's homepage also has a function bar, including [Web], [Image], [Dictionary], and [News], etc.

Search users clearly understand the purpose of using a search engine. You don't need to sell it for him. You only need to bring a concise and comfortable page to the user. Everything is OK. If the user needs it, it can be solved by navigating the website.

Obviously, Google later also knew that this was all superfluous, so the later updated version also became more and more on the road of minimalism like Cloud Search.

But the key lies in the indexing technology and the number of web pages included. As of this year, there are about 380,000 CN domain names registered in China and about 570,000 web sites. The number of registered global domain names has exceeded 60 million this year, a growth rate 16%, a record high.

Although Yunge Search is led by Feng Yi and Yu Jun, Luo Sheng is also actively contributing his own development technology behind the scenes. The fluency and indexing technology of Yunge Search can be directly used against Google and Baidu. Void, even before.

Without Luo Sheng, even if the development team of Yunge Search was tripled on the original basis, it would not be possible to successfully go online in just over 50 days.

Yunge Search focuses on the Chinese search engine, so in the eyes of Luo Sheng, there is actually only one competitor-Baidu, plus at most a Google search in the Greater China market. Other search engines are listed as other options. And can even be ignored
