Chapter 704

"Hello, my name is Wang Xiaochuan, 37 years old, CEO of Sogou company.

When it comes to Sogou, I think you should be most familiar with Sogou input method. I don't know how many students here have used Sogou input method. If you don't mind, please raise your hand and let us have a look. "

The first person to stand up and introduce himself was Wang Xiaochuan, CEO of Sogou, and he also interacted with the students on the scene.

At the scene, more than two-thirds of the students raised their hands. Seeing this scene, Wang Xiaochuan's face was filled with a smile. He continued:

"What I said just now is that I have used it. I don't know how many people are still using the search input method. If you still use it, please keep raising your hands first. If you don't use it, please put your hands under your hands."

As soon as Wang Xiaochuan said this, nearly half of the students who raised their hands at the scene put down their hands. Although they did use Sogou input method before, they have now switched to other input methods.

Wang Xiaochuan smiled and said:

"You can see from the situation and situation at the scene why I came to lakeside University.

In the PC era, our Sogou input method ranks first in the country, with a market share of nearly 70%. However, in the era of mobile Internet and smart phone, because our transformation is slightly slow and our competitors are strong, the market share of Sogou input method in the mobile terminal is not high.

In our classroom alone, there are two competitors of Sogou input method. People I want to know should have guessed that some of them are the happy input method launched by president Fang and others are the iFLYTEK input method launched by Hu Yu and iFLYTEK.

Both of them have their own strengths. The happy input method is strong. It launched skin change, expression package and bucket map function very early, which is very popular with mobile Internet users. The advantage of iFLYTEK input method is that the accuracy of voice input is very high.

With their two strong competitors, it is quite difficult for us to keep the existing market share without making Sogou input bigger and stronger.

I come to the lakeside this time, one is to improve myself, the other is also to hope that I can communicate with President Hu of iFLYTEK to do a good job in the product experience of input method. If Fang can always give me advice and give me some suggestions on the future development of Sogou and me, it would be great! "

Wang Xiaochuan said here that the eyes of many students are focused on Fang Zhe. As a "competitor", I don't know whether Fang Zhe is willing to "point out" Wang Xiaochuan and Sogou.

Fang zhe smiled faintly, and the people couldn't guess what he thought. In fact, in Fang Zhe's eyes, Wang Xiaochuan and Sogou are no competitors!

Sogou input method is one of the core pillar products for Sogou company, but for Huizhong, even if the happy input method has seven or eight billion users worldwide, it is just an ordinary product in the app matrix of Huizhong toolbox. For others, such as happy browser, happy email, mobile phone cleaning master and happy Mobile phone housekeeper, which does not have hundreds of millions of users?

In Fang Zhe's eyes, Wang Xiaochuan and Sogou are not competitors, but a piece of meat. Whether to eat this meat depends on Fang Zhe and Huizhong's appetite!

After Wang Xiaochuan introduced himself, President Ma made a brief comment. The next student stood up and picked up the microphone to introduce himself. He is Yao Jinbo, the founder of 58 city.

Speaking of 58 city, I'm afraid most netizens who have rented a house online and find part-time experience will not be unfamiliar. 58 city is the leading enterprise of domestic classified information navigation website. At present, its biggest competitor is another well-known classified information navigation website, ganji.com.

As early as October 2013, 58 followed Huizhong and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

At present, the market value of 58 in the same city exceeds US $5 billion, which is a veritable super Unicorn enterprise. Huizhong also strategically invested in 58 in the same city last June, holding more than 20%, and is the largest shareholder of 58 in the same city.

58 the same city is a veritable Huizhong department.

At the first World Internet Conference last autumn, Fang Zhe and Yao Jinbo just met. At that time, Fang Zhe wrote a letter of recommendation to Yao Jinbo at his request.

I remember when Yao Jinbo asked Fang Zhe to write a letter of recommendation, Fang zhe was surprised. With Yao Jinbo's age and achievements, he had basically stepped into the ranks of domestic Internet giants. Otherwise, he would not have been invited to the first World Internet Conference.

I don't want Yao Jinbo to insist on asking Fang Zhe to write a letter of recommendation. For his reasons at that time, 58 city has fallen into a development bottleneck. Now the market value is several billion dollars, and it may still be several billion dollars ten years later. How can 58 city cross the threshold of ten billion dollars and enter the industry of small giants,

Yao Jinbo has been thinking and longing to even cross the threshold of $100 billion and become a real Internet giant.

He had the opportunity to listen to the lectures given by 9 top leaders such as Fang Zhe and President Ma, and then study and communicate with other excellent students at the same level. I think he will gain a lot and be inspired. Therefore, Yao Jinbo chose to come to lakeside University.

In fact, lakeside university did not disappoint Yao Jinbo. Just looking around at the students with small achievements in all walks of life, Yao Jinbo felt that it was a worthwhile trip.

"After we went public last fall, we had more money to expand our business and try new tracks.

At the beginning of last year, we set foot in loans and financial management. In the middle of the year, we accepted the strategic investment of Fang Zong Huizhong, which is regarded as a thigh.

Last October, we invested US $20 million in E-Drive. At the end of last month, we spent nearly US $300 million to wholly acquire anjuke, a real estate information service platform.

When I say this, teachers and students should have been able to hear the anxiety of 58 and me in the same city. Although we are listed, how to develop after listing, how to do bigger and stronger, and how to achieve and maintain rapid growth have always been my great anxiety. The Internet industry says that the ceiling determines the height of achievement. When I come to the lake, I just hope to find someone To break through the ceiling, I hope to find a more promising future for 58! "

Yao Jinbo's self introduction aroused the resonance of many students present. Many of them, more or less like Yao Jinbo and 58 in the same city, encountered the bottleneck of management or enterprise development. Although they have made small achievements, they don't know how to go next and how to make great achievements. They even hope to enter the ranks of top giants like several big men in front of the stage.

In short, most of the CEO students present have already passed the stage of 0-1 in the early stage of entrepreneurship, and even many have achieved 10 or even 30 or 50.

What they are longing for now is 1-100, 10-100, or even 10-1000 ideas and methods!
