Really alien? After Tencent and Alibaba revealed their true colors, we found out who is carrying the banner of technology in "BAT"
I wonder if everyone will lament the word ruthlessness when they see this era. The reason for this At the beginning, because everything was changing so fast, I couldn’t help but think of the saying that the only constant thing is probably change. But no matter what, we cannot deny that the "trendy maker" in this era is the Internet circle, because its influence is so amazing, ranging from our daily necessities to aerospace. Internet giants are faced with choices one by one: whether to pursue the ultimate "short-term realization" or to be optimistic about "long-term investment". This is a question.
It is true that we are now in the mobile era, and the former "BAT" has become "TMD". Of course, no matter how the latter three companies become bigger and stronger, "BAT" still has its dominance at this stage. In any case, they are the old "Yu Sanjia" who have fought their way out of the "sea of ??blood". In the face of changes, the three companies have also taken different paths. Tencent has built its own Tencent empire using games and social networking as entry points, while Alibaba has built its own empire using e-commerce as a bargaining chip, while Baidu seems to be hiding in everyone's sight.
But it did not stop its progress. After the PC search engine gradually lost its dominance, Baidu also looked for traffic entrances, but in the end it gave up and embarked on a completely different path. The road has embarked on the road of hard-core technology in multiple dimensions such as artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, Baidu Assistant, etc. Compared with Tencent and Alibaba, it seems to be an "alien", so it is really an "alien" ?
I believe everyone has noticed the recent actions of Tencent and Alibaba in community group buying. The reason why it has caused such a big reaction is simply that Alibaba and Tencent have gone a bit too far. They stretched their hands too far in an attempt to achieve monopoly through successful "routines" in the past. When their true colors were exposed, they were showered with abuse. People have accused these two giants of not having a "bottom line" and competing with a group of small vendors for a few dollars of business. The People's Daily even singled out them for not being responsible and not having a long-term vision. They turned a deaf ear to technological innovation in order to realize short-term profits.
When we look back, we find that at the forefront of technology, in addition to the familiar Huawei, there is also Baidu. Maybe the choice at that time was not understood by many peers, and maybe the choice at that time lost immediate benefits, but it gave the Internet company a true definition and carried the banner of technology. The most fearful thing in everything is comparison. When all these things are before us, we will suddenly realize that Baidu is the company most worthy of everyone's praise.
At present, the global research and development of AI intelligent technology has become a general trend. Baidu has become the "pioneer" of many domestic Internet technology companies. When AI became popular two years ago, Baidu AI ranked among the four giants in the world. one. Although there has been a "cooling down" phenomenon this year, it is conceivable that when 5G enters every household next year, AI will exude new vitality, and Baidu will become the leader of many Internet companies.
Of course, in addition to AI technology, Baidu is also continuously empowering autonomous driving and driverless technology. With the advent of the 5G and big data era, it can analyze every process and various aspects of driving. Baidu with this kind of problem will also be a "dark horse" in the Internet market. Although everything is still in its infancy, Guizai has already started taking action. Looking at other Internet giants, it is inevitable to feel a sigh of relief.
Robin Li once said that technology can change the world. Now that I think about it, it is indeed the greatest simplicity. Yes, Baidu, once the dominant player in the Internet industry, has been slowly forgotten in recent years, and some people even thought it had declined. But when it stands up again, it will definitely make the whole world stunned.
