Sun Pechang on Baidu as the world's biggest search engine the time is not ripe

Figures show that Baidu is very powerful

According to the world's most users of the search engine Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) has welcomed the opportunity. If the company keeps its current growth rate, it will surpass Yahoo! within a year (Nasdaq:yhoo), and create much more profit. Baidu's earnings rose to $528 million in the second quarter, up 78.4% from the same period in 10. Net income of 252 million dollars, an increase of 95%. Yahoo! 's second-quarter profit was cut by 5%, only 1.128 billion dollars, and net profit of 11% to $237 million. Baidu's share price rose 6% from its all-time highs, and its share price rose 300% over the past two years.

Baidu, three years ago, was just a toy for Wall Street. Baidu's annual earnings in 2007 amounted to just 239 million dollars, only to the benefit of a US standard Internet company, which was already the world's largest internet market. Investors have questioned why Baidu has not grown into a bigger business in such a good Chinese market. Now all this is not a problem.

What the market cannot judge is the level of revenue that Baidu will reach after 3 years. China now has more than 450 million netizens, and the number of people will reach 600 million in a year. Baidu has many potential users of Google in North America and Europe, and Google's incompetence in the Chinese market has been recorded in history. Baidu's market will continue to grow fast, especially if the Chinese internet market is already so large.

Baidu tries to enter the world

By the year of the calendar, Robin Li's summary of Baidu is: 2002, technical year, Baidu search technology is truly mature; 2003, traffic year, the flow rate is 7 times times higher than the previous year; 2004 is the brand year, Baidu received a wide range of recognition; 2005, is the income year that year, Baidu Smooth listing, and created the Chinese capital myth in the United States. Next, Robin Li accelerated the internationalization of Baidu's footsteps.

This very like documentary film "The Rise of great powers," Baidu boss, had to rise to the great powers analogy Baidu, Baidu hopes to become an international leader enterprise. "Internationalization is the inevitable choice." Li said in an interview with the media, "15 years later, Baidu revenue should be more than 50% from outside China." ”

This is not the first time Li said so. Since 2002, Li has put forward an international vision on the board of directors every year, but repeatedly denied it. Even by the end of 2006, when Baidu's success in China had been hard to shake, the question of its internationalization strategy was still ringing.

Two years ago, Baidu began the pace of internationalization. Early last year, Baidu spent heavily on a formal attack on the Japanese market, and increased investment, Li said, the European market will become Baidu's next target.

As strong as the local, you line, as the world is strong, Baidu, you still do not

It is understood that Baidu's 58 billion dollar market value shock. This is equivalent to Yahoo! three times times more than Google's 30%.

Try to imagine, these numbers can prove you, Baidu into the world, stable first? Google in China did not rely on the foot, it is he did not understand China's Internet system, blindly into the Chinese market, leading to the current outcome; What about you, China's Baidu boss, you can guarantee in the United States, Germany, Britain and other international can rely on the feet? I don't want you to take the Google Road in China, That's very passive and awkward! As a Chinese, China's SEO engineer Sun Pechang, I would like to wish Baidu, Bon voyage.
