So I hit it off with a few friends at that time and started the initial establishment of Baidu search engine.
Later development of Baidu's search engine also proved that Li Yanhong's decision was correct at that time.
Nowadays, the development of the Internet has become a major trend in global development, so Baidu has risen with the current rise and has now firmly occupied the leading position in the domestic search engine industry.
Although there are still many other search engines appearing in recent years, Baidu's first position is still not shaken.
