The story of 陸奇

為在網搜市場上擊敗Google,微軟延攬前任雅虎搜尋引擎高手陸奇(Qi Lu)。出生於中國的陸奇曾是雅虎網搜和廣告技術部門的大將,他10年來的工作只有一個,就是擊敗在網搜領域稱霸的Google。陸奇將對抗Google視為其畢生職志,在業界以超級工作狂著稱。而微軟吸收陸奇,也代表微軟要與Google正面對決,力拚高下的決心。

 紐約時報報導,現年47歲的陸奇,於14個月前離開雅虎,如今他再度回到擂台與Google單挑,不過這次背後支持他的是對網搜投注更大資金和心力的科技巨擘-微軟。

 陸奇離開雅虎後曾考慮投入創投業,甚至是回到中國,不過陸奇在與微軟執行長鮑默會面後即改變心意。

 鮑默受訪時憶起他帶著兩位工程主管,飛至矽谷與陸奇會面,立即折服於他的才幹。當陸奇走出房門後,鮑默對另兩人說:「天哪!我們應該延攬他加入微軟。」

 去年12月鮑默賦予陸奇線上服務部門總裁的重責大任,迎面而來的是網搜市場艱鉅的挑戰。

 歷經數周的馬拉松會議後,陸奇和其團隊成功拉攏雅虎與微軟結盟,這項複雜的合作協議,將為微軟帶來其領渴望多年的搜尋用戶。

 不過即使加上雅虎的網搜流量,微軟搜尋引擎Bing的市占率仍不到Google的一半,要攻下Google堅固的網搜堡壘並非易事。陸奇在訪問中表示,他沒有輕忽這項任務的難度,若拉長戰線,微軟勢必須推出與眾不同且令人讚嘆的搜尋服務,才足與對手抗衡。

 陸奇行事低調,但在網路業卻備受推崇。他有著異於常人的旺盛精力以及狂熱的工作態度,驅動旗下團隊為微軟力拚強敵。

 穿著印有Bing的T恤和牛仔褲,陸奇看起來更像工程師而不是企業高層。針對加盟微軟一事,陸奇表示,他將延續在雅虎未完成的任務,即是擊敗Google。

Bilibala comments:

Interesting story!! But if a person cannot beat Google in Yahoo, can he beat Google in Mircosoft? Also, to replace a succuessful company in the market is hard, especially it cannot be done by just 1 person. The only thing that will pull down a successful company is the market (meaning its customers).

On the other hand, as an advertisement for Bing, it is a smart move to be a story teller, as least, newspapers will report it and people will talk about it and try to search about it, by using Google.
