Li Yanhong said that Baidu also has the problems mentioned in Ma Huateng's internal speech, and is trying to actively solve these problems. Robin Li said frankly that Baidu does not have such a star product as Channels, which is a gap compared with Tencent in the past year, and it is necessary to face such a situation and reality. For AIGC, Li said that this is the technical direction that Baidu "ponders every day", and it is difficult to commercialize it, but Baidu must do it. It is understood that the problems mentioned by Ma Huateng in his previous internal speech include shocking internal corruption, many businesses cannot be done, and the corruption loopholes are too large, and the business has been hollowed out. The harmonious reform methods and superficial work forms of some BGs are not the crisis mentality that entrepreneurs should have. (36 Kr)
