Baidu CEO Robin Li made a rare appearance at the Web 2.0 Summit this afternoon and revealed some interesting information on the extent of his company’s reach. “Baidu answers more search queries in China than any other search engine in any other market, including Google in the US.”
This might be one of the many data points supporting why the Baidu stock has more than doubled since January, now at a market cap of 40 billion. That is roughly the size of eBay’s.
“We have a lot of room for growth,” Li said, as 1/3 of China currently has Internet access which boils down to about 420 million people. According to Li 99% of those people use Baidu as their search engine and that number can more than double with growing popularity of mobile phones.
So why Google was not as successful in China? “China is a very different market and Google was not close enough to feel the market.” Li also blames Silicon Valley. The proliferation of VC money poured into the local search market was one of the reasons Google failed to reach market share. Before it redirected its Chinese site to Google Hong Kong, that is.
Interestingly enough, Li himself said he thought about moving Baidu to Hong Kong a year after starting Baidu because of Chinese censorship. Li’s decision to stay has been somewhat vindicated by the fact that Baidu’s revenue has grown by 30 times over the last 5 yrs.
Li also does not regret having turned down offers in the $1.5 to $2 billion range from Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. “I knew Baidu had more potential than 1-2 billion,” Li said.作者: 奧特曼 時(shí)間: 2010-11-16 16:13
“空口無憑據(jù)部門”中文說明：
李彥宏稱，中國的網(wǎng)民數(shù)量已經(jīng)達(dá)到4.2億，其中99%用過百度。他相信百度還有很大的增長空間。在談到為什么Google沒能在中國取得成功時(shí)，李回答，中國是一個(gè)完全不同的市場，Google未能屈尊去感受市場。他接著譴責(zé)硅谷的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資商，認(rèn)為Google退出中國市場的一個(gè)原因就是來自投資人的壓力。最有趣的部分是，李彥宏透露百度也曾經(jīng)因?yàn)橹袊膶彶橹贫榷紤]搬到香港，但他們堅(jiān)持了下來，過去5年他們的收入增長了30倍。作者: Armoric 時(shí)間: 2010-11-18 14:44

99%用過百度（不排除他們也使用Google），還是靠譜的。我基本使用Google，但Google常常被河蟹，所以也是百度的用戶。作者: zhanglixing7890 時(shí)間: 2010-12-3 12:19 回復(fù)3樓Armoric：

百度把我們公司旁邊的樓租下來了（原來是華為租的），前一陣在裝修，現(xiàn)在開始入住了。好像百度新址剛建成沒多久啊，這就裝不下了。。�？磥戆俣葦U(kuò)張還是挺快的。。。
