在创立百度以前，李彦宏先生在硅谷的Infoseek工作，是一位优秀的搜索引擎工程师。尽管当时的行业前景并不明朗，李先生依然坚持致力于搜索引擎技术的开发。李先生在2000年回国，与他的业务伙伴共同创立了提供搜索引擎后台服务的百度。在2001年，李先生决定改变业务模式，推出了搜索门户网站服务，直接面向互联网终端用户。受惠于这一次转型，自2003年以来百度的业绩年度增长率接近两倍，并于2005年在美国纳斯达克交易市场成功上市。李先生被《商业周刊》杂志评选为“2006年度最佳商界领袖”，并被一些风险基金认可为当今全球五大搜索引擎技术专家之一。百度目前是中国最大、使用频率最高的互联网搜索引擎、并且是全球最大的中文互联网搜索引擎，亦是中国最大的网站。
Before setting up Baidu, Mr Li worked in Silicon Valley as a leading search engineer at Infoseek. Although the industry outlook was uncertain at that time, he showed great perseverance by continuing with the development of search engine technology. Mr. Li returned to China to establish Baidu with his business partner in 2000, which provided pure back-end search engine services. In 2001, Mr Li decided to change the business model and launched a search portal for Internet end-users. The transformation brought Baidu an annual growth rate close to 200% since 2003, and led to a hugely successful IPO in 2005. Mr Li was awarded “The Best Business Leader 2006” by BusinessWeek and was recognised by some VC investors as one of the Top-5 search engine experts in the world. Baidu is now the biggest and most frequently used Internet search engine in China, the biggest Chinese language Internet search engine worldwide, and the largest website in China. |
