中國最成功的科技企業(yè)家之一李彥宏(Robin Li)日前對群聚在硅谷的中國科技專家們喊話，指出中國正在經(jīng)歷從復(fù)制到創(chuàng)新的轉(zhuǎn)變過程，那里，仍有許多機(jī)會等待被發(fā)掘。 這位中國的網(wǎng)絡(luò)搜索巨擘并未計(jì)劃設(shè)計(jì)自有的智能手機(jī)，但他希望能在 Googel Android 之上建立新的軟件層，并開放給全球各地的軟件開發(fā)人員，李彥宏在最近一次的中國創(chuàng)業(yè)家會議中表示。 “我們將開放我們的云端運(yùn)算基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施給全球的開發(fā)人員，我們是中國唯一這么做的企業(yè)，”李彥宏稍早前在華源科學(xué)技術(shù)協(xié)會的年度會議(Hua Yuan Science and Technology Association (Hysta)中接受采訪時(shí)表示。 “在美國，如果你想要5GB的云端空間，你就得付錢；但我們直接提供15G甚至高達(dá)300G的空間，而且都免費(fèi)，”李彥宏說。 百度還提供能讓使用者將智能手機(jī)的照片上傳及儲存到服務(wù)器的應(yīng)用程序，完全不用壓縮?！斑@項(xiàng)服務(wù)目前在市場上還不多見，”他說。 而談到所謂的 B-phone 時(shí)，他表示，“我們并不需要全部重新來過，”他說。 “Android是免費(fèi)的，所以我們還有很多事情可以做，去滿足其它還沒得到滿足的需求。我們正在努力做的事情，就是還沒有針對中國使用者最佳化，或是還不夠完善的部份?！? 百度成立于2000年，2005年上市，現(xiàn)號稱擁有5億使用者，營業(yè)額達(dá)150億人民幣約24億美元)。該公司聲稱擁有全球最快速的瀏覽器，以及最準(zhǔn)確的中文語音識別軟件。 “我在1999年圣誕節(jié)回到中國時(shí)，很多人說，你晚來一步了，網(wǎng)絡(luò)熱潮快過了，這個(gè)市場已經(jīng)太過擁擠，沒什么機(jī)會留給像你這樣的人了，”李彥宏說。他在美國拿到計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)博士學(xué)位后，曾在兩家美國公司工作，開發(fā)搜尋算法，而后才回到中國。 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 本文下一頁：遍地商機(jī)

{pagination} Baidu founder calls China's tech experts home Rick Merritt SANTA CLARA, Calif.--Engineers returning to China still have plenty of opportunities in a country poised to shift from copying to innovating, the founder of Baidu told a gathering of 1,500 mostly Chinese tech experts in Silicon Valley. China’s Internet search giant has no plans to design its own smartphone, but it does want to create new layers of software on top of Google’s Android and open up its data centers to developers around the world, said Robin Li, at a conference of Chinese entrepreneurs. "We will open up our cloud computing infrastructure to developers everywhere so they can work at the highest level--this is something unique for China," said Li in an on-stage interview at the annual conference of the Hua Yuan Science and Technology Association (Hysta). "In the U.S., if you ask for 5 Gbytes of storage [in the cloud], you have to pay for it. But we give 15G and even up to 300G for free—it’s another free thing," said Li. Baidu also provides an app that lets users upload photos from the smartphones to its servers, storing them without compression. "I think this is very rare," he said. As for a so-called B-phone: "We don’t need to reinvent the wheel," Li said. "Android is free, so there is a lot we can do to satisfy unmet needs by building on top of it. We are trying to do things that haven’t been done properly or done well for China’s users.” Founded in 2000, Baidu went public in 2005 and now claims 500 million users and revenues of 15 billion renminbi (about $2.4 billion). It claims it has the world’s fastest browser and most accurate Chinese voice recognition software. “When I came back to China at Christmas 1999, a lot of people said, 'You are too late to the Internet—it’s already crowded and there are not many chances for people like you,' " said Li who earned a doctorate in computer science in the U.S. and went on to develop key search algorithms at two U.S. companies before returning to China. Plenty of opportunity Like Li, today’s returnees still have a shot at success. "As long as the technology is changing, there are still many opportunities, so coming back to China is always a good option," Li said. China’s big consumer market is the gateway to its next level of growth, Li said. "When we come up with a new idea at Baidu, we don’t have to debate it--we go try it out on a one percent sample of our customers—that’s 5 million people," he said. "There weren’t platforms life that before." With such reach, "there are challenges we can encounter before the U.S., and so we have a lot better chance of innovating--there is a great opportunity to have a lot more innovation in China," he said. "It’s ridiculous that we don’t have more truly international companies in China," said Li. "People are satisfied focusing on the China market, and it’s hard to blame them for the time being." Baidu is now entering markets surrounding China, but Li declined to comment on whether it would open a U.S. office. "Today we believe we are able to compete for talent, so we are on the way," he said.
