Chapter 330: Treat Others With Their Own Medicine, Will Jisou Search Go To Sea?
Facing the pressure from Future Group, Gu Ge obviously will not sit still and wait for death.
What's more, North America is still their home field.
then.
At the end of October, Gu Ge decisively began to prepare to burn the fire into the back garden of Future Group, and began to have close and frequent contact with Face competitor MySpace.
Although Larry Page's actions were very low-key, he still couldn't escape the eyes of interested people, and some paparazzi took photos of him meeting Xiao Zai.
This obviously caught the attention of face president Jim Stokes.
Because face’s biggest competitor in North America is MySpace.
Although the other party has been suppressed and has little power to fight back, it will be different if the other party and Gu Ge reach strategic cooperation.
then.
He immediately reported the situation to George Edward, the head of North America, and Lucci, COO of the head office.
October 31st.
"660" future group headquarters.
"Director Lu, face referee Jim Stokes reported a very important news, Guge is negotiating with MySpace.
"Currently, the number of MySpace users has reached about 32 million, and the North American market share is about 18%, while our company's face market share is about 75%. MySpace is our biggest competitor in North America.
"Previously, George Edwards strictly implemented your strategy of 'beat me to death as long as I don't beat you to death' and has always maintained a high-intensity suppression of MySpace. This continued after Jim Swanks took over."
"But if MySpace and Gu Ge reach a cooperation agreement, it will be difficult for Face to suppress it with the help of Gu Ge's traffic and influence."
Lu Qi came to Lu Yi's office and gave a quick and brief report on the relevant situation.
This matter not only attracted the attention of the North American branch, but also attracted his attention.
The domestic Xiaonei network and overseas Face are the two cornerstones of the entire group.
at the same time.
As much as 60% to 70% of the group's revenue also comes from here.
If MySpace and Guge reach a cooperation, it will have a big impact on the expansion of face, and it will also affect the group's revenue.
Face Jim Stokes is currently in full control, and the parent company will basically not interfere too much, in order to be more in line with the local market.
Lu Yi has one requirement for these foreign executives, that is, once the parent company makes a corresponding decision, the subsidiary must implement it unconditionally.
If there is any overstep, one reminder, two warnings, and the third time just pack up and leave.
The suppression strategy of faceMySpace was originally requested by Lu Yi.
As for how to carry out the suppression and what methods to use, as long as it does not break the law and does not get caught, Lu Yi will not interfere too much. He only looks at the results.
Of course.
Lu Yi will not completely trust these foreign executives, so every member of the supervisory board sitting in these subsidiaries is absolutely trustworthy by Lu Yi, and the power of the supervisory board is not just for show, it is really great.
Lu Yi has always maintained a high degree of vigilance against the North American authorities, fearing that he would be caught by his pigtails.
He doesn't want to become the 'Frederick Pierucci' or 'Meng Wanzhou' in his previous life.
These foreign executives may not have thought about cheating the company, but what if the North American authorities trying to crack down on the company set a trap for them?
Hearing this, Lu Yi looked at Lu Qi and asked, "Lao Lu, what do you think of this matter?"
"Obviously, Guge wants to support the development and growth of MySpace, thereby using MySpace's hand to slow down our development and consume our energy." Lu Qiyan said concisely and comprehensively.
"Guge's third-quarter financial report showed a significant decline in both total revenue and net profit, and the stock price has also been falling. Obviously, people like Larry Page are anxious."
"In the advertising business, the two of us are each other's biggest competitors."
"Larry did this to set a fire in our backyard and distract us.
Lu Yi had a smile on his face and deep eyes. It was obvious that he could see everything clearly.
"Jim suggested to the parent company that we should step in and talk to Xiao Zha, the founder of MySpace, to invest in MySpace or directly acquire MySpace to prevent Gu Ge from becoming a potential threat to Face." Lu Qi said.
"Acquire MySpace?"
When Lu Yi heard this, he immediately rejected the suggestion.
"Today, face has more than 120 million users in North America, let alone around the world."
"Both our user traffic pool and user ecological chain have been established, forming an unparalleled first-mover advantage."
"Now as long as we don't make mistakes, MySpace will never be able to turn around, even if they have Gu Ge's support behind them."
"But once we acquire MySpace, think about it, in the North American market, our market share will be as high as 90%, directly forming a monopoly..."
"If we do this, that's definitely what Gu Ge would like to see the most."
"When the time comes, they will put the monopoly hat directly on our heads, and the North American authorities will come down with a hammer, and we will not be able to resist it, because it is on someone else's territory, someone else's home court."
"Everyone knows exactly what a lousy person the Lao Mi authorities are. They may be sharpening their knives right now, waiting for us to make mistakes and find clues to come to our door."
Lu Qi nodded and added: "Having said that, if we do nothing and let the pigeon light a fire in our backyard, we will still feel very unhappy and aggrieved.
"Haha, who said we don't do anything?"
Lu Yi chuckled, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He is not the kind of character who doesn't fight back when beaten.
Lu Qi's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Oh? What do you think, Director Lu?"
"Simple, treat others in their own way."
Lu Yi continued to explain: "Didn't Gu Ge want to set a fire in our backyard? We can also set a fire in his backyard."
"Jisou Search has now surpassed Qiandu and become the new leader in the domestic search engine field. It's time to go out and have a look. We can't just play on our own land.
"Isn't Larry going to set a fire? Come on, whoever is afraid of you?"
"We also went to his backyard to play."
"Even more than that, we can also cooperate with Yahu to support them in search engine technology."
"Hehe, I would like to see what Larry's face will be like then."
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lu Qi 2.3 was a little stunned.
Our own Jisou engine is just going overseas, but it is actually planning to cooperate with Yahu
The key is..………
Director Lu, you just took advantage of Yahu some time ago!
Is it appropriate to go back and find others to cooperate now?!
Seeing Lu Qi's strange look, Lu Yi understood what he was thinking.
"how?"
"You think that because we took advantage of Yahu some time ago and we are enemies and rivals, Yahu will not cooperate with us because of shame?"
"Thinking too much!"
"There are no absolute friends and no absolute enemies in this world.
"A large part of the reason why Yahu declined so quickly is from Gu Ge."
"If we propose a cooperation in search engines, I believe Yahu will be happy to cooperate with us, and they will not give up this opportunity to re-emerge.
