2013, a magical year: the internet's big boys no longer adhere to hatred, began to believe in love

After 2012 years, 2013 has become a magical year: the internet's big boys no longer adhere to hatred, began to believe in love.

Ali Group Investment Sina Micro-blog, Baidu wholly-owned acquisition of PPS, just experienced two big club wedding banquet, the lake and began to rumors of another section of the leading edge of the story: Sogou Joys 360.

Sogou and 360 can be emotional road hardships, is it about to repair the fruition? The story starts with Google's withdrawal from China.

Red Banquet

January 2010, Google China announced its withdrawal from China. According to the statistics of third party data, Google at that time occupies the Chinese search engine market share 19.8%, is Chinese search engine market's second.

Google left a piece of fat, so that everyone excited, including Baidu, Tencent, Sohu, NetEase, 360, Ali Group and other companies. A scene of "conspiracy and love" The net reason is to pull open the big curtain.

Baidu's most exciting: years of fighting opponents in an unexpected way out of the battlefield. Deutsche Bank forecast at that time, Baidu's share price target price is 792 dollars, Baidu will occupy the Chinese search market market share of 95%.

This prophecy is half done. April 2010, Baidu shares 10, May 9, Baidu stock price of about 96 U.S. dollars, if not split then more than 960 U.S. dollars; After the split, Baidu's share price was higher than 166 U.S. dollars, if not split up to 1660 U.S. dollars.

The other half has never reached, Baidu's Chinese search engine market share up to 80%, which became the peak of Baidu, never climbed to Deutsche Bank predicted 95%.

The quickest action is Zhou. The Google incident soon, Zhou found Zhang, said "we have a common goal", Charles Zhang understood, replied that "Challenge Baidu." Zhou 祎 imagination: If the Sogou and 360 merged, this thing became!

Both sides hit, and then start to do two things: first, discuss the details of the merger, and the second is to find a place to drink. Wine is red wine, two people are very excited after a toast, imagination of the future several.

A number of details. One business integration plan is this: Sogou browser to 360 of the team, the original Sogou team and 360 team to develop search, challenge Baidu, Sogou Pinyin is still the original Sogou team.

This plan has a key omission: bypassing the Sogou team leader Wang Xiaoquan.

Wang Xiaoquan strongly objected, the reason for the objection is: The browser is very important. Wang Xiaoquan later to the media told a story of a level three rockets, sogou pinyin + browser + search engine, in this three-class rockets, the browser is choke, even if the merger, Wang Xiaoquan also do not want to be stuck in the throat.

Hangzhou Line

Wang Xiaoquan strongly opposed, Charles Zhang strongly insisted: The search market is too tempting, intension to challenge Robin Li.

Charles Zhang disregard Wang Xiaoquan against, Sogou and 360 of cooperation continue to advance. A week before the formal signing of the weekend, Wang Xiaoquan went to Hangzhou alone, leaving when Zhang said that the Hangzhou line is to "see customers."

Wang Xiaoquan not see the customer, see is Ma Yun. Wang Xiaoquan Explain the purpose, Ma Yun, at the same time also secretly pleased: surprised is Zhou 祎 down so fast, so ruthless, so accurate, happy is the opportunity or Ali. Ma Yun thinks he has a way to say service Wang Xiaoquan, also have the way to persuade Charles Zhang.

The same day, Mayunfei Beijing, the face of Zhang Chaoyang, things happened reversed.

The story of Ma Yun is: Alibaba owns Taobao, Alibaba, Ali mother and other electricity business resources, support Sogou search development, challenge Baidu. The story is very beautiful.

August 2010, Sogou from Sohu Split, at the same time Alibaba Investment Co., Ltd., Yunfeng Fund investment Sogou, a total of about 16% of the company's shares, Zhang Chaoyang personal possession of 16% of the company's shares, the remaining 68% of the shares owned by Sohu.

"Ma Yun has said that the service force", one of the parties later this sigh.

Less than a year, June 2011, from Taobao derived from a Amoy net undertook all Ma Yun "e-commerce search" dream.

P.S. a year, July 2012, Alibaba quit Sogou, Sohu announced to 25.8 million dollars to buy back the previous Alibaba held all Sogou shares.

No business, no friendship. Because both (Sohu and Qihoo 360) in the browser Market direct conflict, Sogou and Qihoo 360 Kaniko dry battle, a dozen is two years.
