Li Yanhong Founder and CEO of Baidu Company

Baidu's listing is undoubtedly one of the hottest topics in the IT industry this year. This company, founded by Li Yanhong more than five years ago, has set off a China whirlwind on Wall Street with its excellent technological innovation ability and leading position in the field of Chinese search. On August 5th, 2005, Baidu was listed on NASDAQ. On the day of listing, its share price rose more than 354%, setting a record for foreign companies in the US securities capital market since 2 13.

Baidu's successful listing broke Wall Street's practice of discounting the issue price of China company with reference to similar enterprises in the United States, and it was a wonderful appearance of China's national brand with independent intellectual property rights in the international capital market. The capital myth created by Baidu has also made overseas investors pay more attention to the China market, which has become a landmark event to drive a new round of investment boom in the IT industry.

The high recognition of the capital market stems from the full affirmation of Baidu's focus on technological innovation in the past five years. Li Yanhong, a technical background, is not only the holder of the patented technology "Hyperlink Analysis" widely used by mainstream search engines around the world, but also deeply rooted the concept of technology and innovation in Baidu culture, and cultivated and promoted a large number of technical talents, making Baidu a rare company with core technological innovation capabilities in the Internet industry.

Considering the special significance of search engines in promoting national culture in the information age, Baidu also creatively launched the "Niuka Plan" to prevent multinational giants from taking over maliciously, making it clear that the original shareholders have the super voting right of 10 per share, and ensuring that the most important Chinese search engine is in the hands of China people themselves.

At present, Baidu has become the fourth largest website in the world, the largest Chinese website and one of the largest Chinese search engines. Baidu, which is committed to providing people with the most convenient way to obtain information, provides hundreds of millions of information search services to people in more than 50 countries and regions around the world every day.
