As early as 20 15, Tencent participated in the C round of financing in Zhihu as the lead investor, and went all the way to the E round. Between it and ByteDance, there is a "micro-vision -Tik Tok" war, and Aout is the direct enemy of Tik Tok.
Baidu needs Zhihu because it needs Zhihu to supplement its content. Search engines are still the channel for most people to obtain information, but in the mobile Internet market, each App is independent of each other and has its own content, and the content between products is not open. In order to have content to search, both Baidu and ByteDance need to supplement the content in their products.
In the last year of 20 19, Baidu made four public investments in the content field, namely, Shell, Zhihu, Seven Cat Novels and Uncle Kai's storytelling. Any company that receives an olive branch is choosing to take sides, and Zhihu has made a choice.
