His good neighbor, China, had four giants in the Internet industry.
Other than Bai Du, there were only Da Ma, Xiao Ma, and Old Zhang.
In the past few years, Ma Ma and Ma Ma had made great achievements. One of them relied on earning money from a woman to start his career, while the other relied on money from a child to start his career.
Now, it was filled with all kinds of industries, with a market value of more than 400 billion dollars, far ahead.
As for the newly risen Old Zhang, his headline was already worth 75 billion, surpassing Baidu's 60 billion.
Even Jing Dong was about to surpass Bai Du.
From the market value, Bai Du seemed to have been left far behind.
It could even be said that the four magnates could be rewritten as two magnates.
Because Bai Du and the headlines, there was already a huge gap between them and the two giants.
However, after some investigation…
Qi Yang knew that the reason why Hundred Du had been unable to recover in the past few years was because he was planning to change his career.
They planned to transform from a search service company to a high-tech platform.
And artificial intelligence was the main focus.
Most importantly, during this period of time, Bai Du's market value had started to rise.
All of this was because they had achieved some results.
"Ling 'er, how is the matter of purchasing Bai Du? This is the most important thing."
Qi Yang leaned back on the ergonomical chair and enjoyed Xiu 'Er's massage as he asked Ling' Er.
"Your Majesty, I've already sent people to discuss this matter with the shareholders of Bai Du, but they've all been rejected.”
When Ling 'er heard about Bai Du, her expression turned slightly bad.
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Of course. They are very tough. It seems that it will be very difficult for us to buy their shares directly.”
Actually, Bai Du's rejection was not without reason.
After all, Bai Du had been working on the artificial intelligence project for several years.
Now, it was finally time to receive the goods.
In the end, someone came to them and wanted to buy their shares.
Everyone would probably reject such a thing.
Although Qi Yang's funds were very strong.
His own liquid funds were comparable to the entire market value of Bai Du.
Moreover, his current skills had already surpassed Bai Du.
However, the shareholders of Baidu had been preparing for the artificial intelligence project for several years.
At this moment, they were all looking forward to the return of this project.
Most importantly, they were one of the four giants of China's Internet.
Although they were no longer the same as before, they still had their own dignity and pride.
Moreover, they were confident that as long as they started the project of the commercial application of artificial intelligence, they would soon catch up with the two giants, Ma and Ma.
In the near future, he might even overtake the two giants.
Old Zhang, who had just surpassed him, was the same.
Therefore, now that someone wanted to buy their shares, they were naturally very determined.
However, Qi Yang was not someone to be trifled with.
Since he had decided to acquire Bai Du, it would be better for him to carry out the next artificial intelligence project.
Then he would definitely buy Bai Du.
Earth had entered the information age.
He wanted to have a place on Earth.
The Internet had to be involved.
The artificial intelligence this time could be said to be the transformation of the Penglai Kingdom.
The transformation from an oil country to a technological power.
Moreover, this time, it would definitely attract a large amount of benefits.
At that time, it would be the time to show off their new military strength.
The Penglai Kingdom would become a top-notch country in a single leap.
This time, if they could directly take down the world's largest Chinese search engine company.
It would definitely be of great help.
Search engines were definitely one of the core businesses of the internet.
If Qi Yang could take down Hundred Du, it would greatly accelerate Penglai's internet industry.
In fact, Qi Yang had thought of creating his own search engine.
However, this matter had been put on hold and there was no movement.
The difficulty of this matter itself did not lie in the search engine.
It was about the stickiness of the users.
Almost all the users who used Chinese were already used to using Bai Du.
In Bai Du, there was a complete search system and an unimaginable amount of data.
All kinds of Bai Du Encyclopedic Knowledge, Bai Du Knowledge, Bai Du, etc.
Although he could use them directly through the Nebula Butler, it would still be a lot worse.
The search engine created by the Red Alert Research Lab might be faster, more accurate, and more functional than Bai Du.
But some things were hard to compare to Bai Du.
For example, if a certain user had a question, such as encountering a bug while playing a game, he would obviously open Bai Du to search for it.
At this time, if other people also encountered this bug and someone gave an answer below, then the user could see the answer and solve the problem.
However, if they used their new search engine, they might not be able to find information about this bug in the early stages.
Even artificial intelligence couldn't solve it because there was no information about it in the database.
Even though he could develop a search engine that was similar to Bai Du's, it would take time.
Other than that, there were also users who were looking for things, so it was natural for them to add the words 'Baidu Encyclopedic' or something.
All of this would require a lot of time to change.
However, Qi Yang could afford anything but time.
This was because the Penglai of Qiyang was a high-speed carriage.
It was impossible for him to stop and slowly admire the scenery by the roadside.
Therefore, if he could acquire Bai Du now, it would be killing two birds with one stone.
"Then what if we buy those scattered shares?”
After thinking about it, Qi Yang already had some ideas in his heart, so he asked Ling 'er.
"We have already used the Penglai Royal Bank to purchase some of Bai Du's scattered shares on the stock market on a large scale. However, if we want to control Bai Du through purchasing shares, I'm afraid it's not realistic.”
Ling 'er understood Qi Yang's thoughts, but she shook her head and said.
"When Bai Du went public, they must have considered the possibility of a hostile acquisition, so they took precautions.”
"What do you mean?"
Qi Yang frowned slightly.
"They split the listed shares into Class A shares and Class B shares. Class B shares have ten times the voting rights of Class A shares!”
"In other words, as long as the higher-ups of Bai Du have enough Class B shares, then our goal of controlling Bai Du through the acquisition of shares won't succeed.”
Ling 'er explained the reason.
"I see!"
Qi Yang nodded.
No wonder Ling 'er and the others couldn't do anything about it. It turned out that Bai Du had already taken precautions when it went on the market.
"Looks like I'll have to personally take action.”
Qi Yang said indifferently when he heard Ling 'er's words.
P.S. Two days ago, my hand was injured. Now, I'm writing with one hand, which is why there are so few updates. But everyone, don't worry. Starting from the day after tomorrow, I'll start writing five chapters a day.
