People on Baidu are going crazy these days.
It is said that a strange infectious disease has sprung up among top managers: pinkeye.
So much so that the first thing executives do when they come to the company in recent days is to check the data of Yiting.com and Tieba. When they see the rising data of Tieba, these executives can't help but be jealous.
They were planning to copy the Tieba model a few days ago, and took advantage of their own advantages to directly launch the All-Star Tieba in view of the shortcomings of Yiting.com’s Tieba, which was only a singer Tieba. As a result, their technical development team had not even written out the requirements. , other people’s Tieba launched the All-Star Tieba.
This made the company's executives and technical directors vomit more than three liters of blood. Immediately afterwards, Tieba took another even more awesome move: building its own Tieba.
Jack Zhou also tried this function, and then easily built a Jack Zhou bar. He thought this was really interesting. Thinking of his wife, he also built a post bar with her name, and immediately exclaimed: "Awesome, awesome!"
The vice president also gave it a try. He liked playing badminton when he had nothing to do, so he wanted to build a badminton bar. As soon as he entered the results, he found that someone had established a badminton bar a few days ago, and now more than 2,000 netizens have followed this post. With a large number of posts about exchanging technology and equipment, he was deeply shocked by Tieba's ability to gather netizens with the same hobbies, idols, and pursuits. He even felt that the current Tieba alone could already be valued at 50 million. Even higher.
At this time, he looked at hao123, which he was also paying attention to, and suddenly felt that Hao123, which he had been relatively optimistic about before, was simply too weak. This navigation site, like the current Baidu search, cannot retain users. When users come here, how can they It was so painful to be somewhere else within seconds!
User retention and user stickiness have always been Baidu’s pain points! Combining this pain point with reading the forum, it’s like a life-saving straw. It’s a masterpiece! What a genius idea! But why wasn’t it Baidu’s idea
So he immediately reported it to the president, hoping to acquire Tieba as soon as possible regardless of the cost. It would be best to take over Yiting.com as well. However, his pricing power is limited. If this kind of thing requires the board of directors to make a decision together, then he should open a business as soon as possible. Let’s discuss it at the shareholders’ meeting. Time waits for nothing!
In fact, Baidu is not a rich and handsome person in the Internet field at the moment. They have just started. Now they are eager to find other platforms to provide search engine services for others. Although the founder Li Yanhong brought many people with him when he came back from Silicon Valley. With little investment, capital gradually followed, but a lot of money was burned along the way, and the profit model has not yet been truly figured out.
After all, Baidu itself is still trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. It is still a little bit unrestrained to use large sums of money for acquisitions, so shareholders need to discuss it. If the shareholders unanimously decide to acquire, they will also increase capital if the company does not have enough money. Come and collect it, if they decide not to acquire it, it will be in vain if the company has enough money in its account.
However, Li Mu took the time to go to the house he rented on Saturday and used the computer there to check his email.
At present, there are several companies interested in Tieba.
Yi and Lang were also very interested and hoped to have an interview with Li Mu.
Li Mu just communicated with his representative online and got a rough quotation. However, he was not satisfied with the valuation. He wanted to package it for Yiting.com and Tieba, but the quotation did not exceed 30 million.
Li Mu declined for the time being, citing considerations. He still tended to sell to Baidu, because he understood the truth that only by selling something to the person who needs it most can he get the best terms. Although he sold the comb to a monk, It sounds awesome, but it doesn’t comply with market principles.
…
Near noon, Su Yingxue called Li Mu and asked what he was doing. Li Mu said that he was surfing the Internet outside. Su Yingxue asked him if he wanted to have lunch together, and Li Mu agreed.
The two arranged to meet at a restaurant outside the school, and then Li Mu turned off the computer, looked in the mirror and went out.
As soon as the two met, Su Yingxue asked Li Mu: "Are you busy this afternoon?"
Li Mu did not answer, but asked: "What's wrong?"
Su Yingxue said with some embarrassment: "There are some junior high school classmates of mine in our school, and they insisted on dragging me to attend a gathering of fellow villagers from South Jiangsu Province in the afternoon. I don't want to go, but I can't shirk it, so I want to ask you. Do you want to come together?"
Li Mu asked in surprise: "Are there any junior high school classmates of yours in the school?"
Su Yingxue nodded: "I went to Jinling Experimental Middle School for junior high school, and I didn't return to Haizhou until high school."
Li Mu then remembered that it had been so long that he had forgotten that Su Yingxue studied in the best junior high school in Jinling when he was in junior high school. Jinling Experimental Middle School has always been the cradle of Jinling college students. There are junior high schools and high schools. The college entrance examination undergraduate rate and the undergraduate rate have always been the best. No. 1 in the province.
Su Yingxue's junior high school classmates there should all be at the top level of academics. Besides, the total number of people enrolled in Renmin University's various majors in South Jiangsu Province in a year is at least fifty or sixty. Among them are several of Su Yingxue's junior high school classmates. It is normal to enter Renmin University.
Li Mu thought about it in his mind and said in surprise: "Then there won't be hundreds of people in this fellow villagers' association?"
Su Yingxue nodded: "It stands to reason that there are so many people, so when organizers organize parties, they usually gather separately. This time they mainly invite us freshmen, and then their sophomores, juniors, and seniors as well. The Fellows Association of the Graduate School each has a few representatives, so there should only be a few dozen people.”
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Our dormitory Sun Jian is also from Nansu. He asked me to accompany him yesterday, and I agreed."
"Really?" Su Yingxue was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "That's great. I don't want to go at all, but I can't refuse. It would be nice to have you with me."
Li Mu hadn't seen Su Yingxue in the past few days since class started, so he asked her what she had been doing these days. Su Yingxue's reply was similar to that of Zhao Ziqiu. Apart from attending classes and self-study, she just spent time in the library. Su Yingxue said that she could choose elective courses in the first semester of her freshman year. It was time for class, and she wanted to prepare in advance.
After hearing this, Li Mu asked awkwardly: "It's hard to get through the senior year of high school. Don't you want to relax?"
Su Yingxue smiled slightly: "Isn't it already summer vacation?"
"Can it be the same?" Li Mu curled his lips and said, "College is not the third year of high school. There is no need to make yourself like a learning machine."
Su Yingxue thought for a moment, stuck out her tongue and said, "But if I don't study, I won't know what to do anymore. What should I do? I can't lie down in the dormitory and sleep after dinner every day, right?"
Li Mu was convinced, knowing that he could not understand the world of top students, so he laughed twice and said: "You are right..."
The time for the fellows meeting was set at two o'clock in the afternoon. It was said that the typhoon shelter was reserved. After Li Mu and Su Yingxue finished eating, they strolled outside the school. It was almost time. Li Mu called Sun Jian. She made an appointment with him to meet at the south gate of the school, and she and Su Yingxue went to the south gate to wait for him.
Sun Jian came quickly and was slightly startled when he saw Li Mu and Su Yingxue together. However, when he thought that this beautiful school beauty who had become popular in school recently was Li Mu's high school classmate, he knew that she must also be from Nansu Province, so No wonder.
Li Mu introduced Sun Jian to Su Yingxue again, and then the three of them went to the typhoon shelter together.
When they arrived at the typhoon shelter, two senior seniors set up a small table at the door. They had already collected the birthplace information of the freshman Li Nansu and made a form. Regardless of whether they had received an invitation or not, as long as they were from the People's Republic of China All freshmen from South Jiangsu Province in the 01st level of the university can participate.
As soon as Li Mu, Su Yingxue and Sun Jian arrived at the sign-in area, they found that the two seniors looked at Su Yingxue with straight eyes.
One of them stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Oh, it's classmate Yingxue, please come in!"
Su Yingxue pointed in surprise at the two classmates who had just registered and paid to enter, and asked: "Don't you still have to pay?"
The man said hurriedly: "Wu Shuai, the vice president of our fellow villagers association, handed over your share to you."
Su Yingxue frowned and asked, "Who is Commander Wu? I don't want him to pay for me." With that said, Su Yingxue was about to pay.
The man blurted out: "Oh, Marshal Wu, you don't know? The president of our School of Economics, he is from Jinling, he..."
"Here you go, for the three of us."
Su Yingxue didn't give him a chance to continue speaking, and took out a hundred-yuan bill and placed it in front of him.
The man looked embarrassed: "President Wu has already said hello, and we have also collected the money he paid for you. If we collect it from you again, it will be difficult to explain later. Besides, there will be errors in the accounts. What a mistake." It’s hard for us to make a living, isn’t it?”
Li Mu next to him said: "Is it wrong to have too much money? Then just give that money to the classmates behind you."
As he said that, Li Mu pointed to a young man behind him and said, "Brother, you don't have to pay out. There is a senior named Wu who paid it for you."
"Huh?" The young man was still stunned, and the two people in charge of registration also looked at each other. Li Mu took out a hundred yuan at this time, took Su Yingxue's money back and handed it to him, then put his own money in front of the man and used Pointing his finger at the table: "Hurry up and find ten dollars. What are you thinking about?"
"This..." The two of them were embarrassed and exchanged glances with each other. The man who collected the money took out ten yuan angrily and handed it to Li Mu. Then he took out the roster and said, "You two can sign up."
Li Muxin said there are three of us, are you blind? But when he took the roster and looked at it, he realized that they had already checked for Su Yingxue. Li Mu despised these two people in his heart. He found his name on it and checked it first. When he was about to find Sun Jian, Sun Jian pointed at it. Own name: "Mine is here."
Li Mu nodded, checked the boxes for Sun Jian, and then handed him the notebook: "Is everything okay? Can you go in?"
The man hurriedly said: "Wait a moment." After saying that, he took out three number plates and handed them to Li Mu: "Each person has an exclusive number. Take the number and go directly to the second floor."
Li Mu nodded, took the numbers and looked at them, 50, 51, 52, and then gave 51 to Su Yingxue and 52 to Sun Jian.
When the two people in charge of the reception saw Li Mu and the others leaving, they took the roster and found his name based on where Li Mu had just checked. One of them said to himself: "Li Mu... this kid is so damn pretentious. Yes!"
Another person sneered, pointed to the place of origin behind Li Mu's name, and said, "See, he's from Haizhou too. He should be a high school classmate with Su Yingxue, and this kid is not bad looking. President Wu has a competitor this time."
"It's a bit interesting..."
