【新唐人2013年02月19日訊】前中國乒乓球世界冠軍鄧亞萍領軍的「即刻」搜索引擎，即將裁員100人。網上有消息披露，鄧亞萍因「即刻搜索」花錢太多，經營不善，去年底遭到《人民日報社》副總編輯馬利的批評。也有多個傳言指稱，「即刻搜索」兩年花掉20億元，占有率卻低於萬分之一，使用率幾乎為零。
「即刻搜索」的前身是《人民網》推出的「人民搜索」。被媒體比喻為搜索行業的國家隊。
2010年，《人民網》推出「人民搜索」，使用「goso」域名。運營一年後的「人民搜索」使用新域名「jike」。新域名有即刻、飢渴等含義。2012年6月，「即刻搜索」全新改版，使用全新商標，突出字母「i」與「即刻」兩個字。
鄧亞萍，是一名退役女乒乓球運動員。擁有4塊奧運金牌、劍橋大學博士學位；求學期間兼任國際奧委會和北京奧組委工作；2010年9月，鄧亞萍出任《人民日報社》副秘書長，兼「人民搜索網絡股份公司」總經理。
2月17號，有網文匿名透露：「即刻搜索到現在基本沒有收益，領導不願意了，把小鄧（鄧亞萍）教訓了一通……。於是，一張百人裁員名單出爐了，據說近期就將公布。」
根據《人民網》招股說明書，2010年「人民搜索」營業收入為零，淨利潤卻達3000多萬元。
也有多個傳言指稱，「即刻搜索」兩年花掉20億元。而去年中國搜索引擎訪問量前十名，「即刻搜索」不見蹤影，占有率低於萬分之一，使用率幾乎為零。
曾經擔任「微軟公司」全球副總裁，和「谷歌」中國區總裁的李開復，17號在推特發文說：「我在新浪、騰訊都被禁言三天」。
稍早前，網友廣傳李開復一篇被刪除的微博。據說李開復問了鄧亞萍幾個問題後，被禁言。
李開復問：1，為何用納稅人的錢來做商業運營？花了納稅人20億打水漂！黑點吧？2，做搜索引擎，卻沒有信息通暢開放的信念，可能有戲嗎？她咋連微博也沒？3，搜索引擎公司老總，為何由黨任命？4，如果當年美國民主黨任命菲爾普斯任谷歌CEO，谷歌能打敗雅虎嗎？
《南都網》引述業內人士的話表示，搜索引擎市場已經接近飽和，連「百度」這樣的巨鱷都面臨著衰退。近來，「360 搜索」、「搜狗」呈上升態勢，憑的是瀏覽器入口的優勢。網傳《騰訊》的「搜搜」也面臨被「搜狗」納入囊中的命運。而像「即刻」這樣的愣頭青，想在對手環視的市場裡闖出一番名堂，可能性很小。
大陸網友張先生：「她（鄧亞萍）可能不懂業務，但是我覺得她就是懂業務的話，她這個搜索引擎它也不能市場化，因為現在敏感的信息搜索不到，用戶叫的那些東西搜索不到，這樣的話肯定沒有市場，沒有市場就搞不下去。」
2010年12月，鄧亞萍在「北京郵電大學」的一次演講中聲稱：「《人民日報》創刊62年，從來沒有出過假新聞。」而遭到輿論砲轟——「幼稚」。
北京藝術家、獨立製片人楊偉東：「她上人民搜索當總裁的時候，不是說人民日報從來就沒有說過瞎話嗎!一個最基本的歷史常識她不知道，第二，最基本的良知她都不知道，這個官員能稱職嗎?這是共產黨用人的方式吧!現在的官員就希望用自己的人嘛!沒有競爭嘛!」
李開復發出被禁言的推文後一小時，又在推特轉發一條博文，題為「習近平：對中國共產黨而言，要容得下尖銳批評」。
李開復推文說，習近平表示，共產黨要容得下尖銳批評，做到有則改之、無則加勉；對黨外人士而言，要敢於講真話，敢於講逆耳之言，真實反映群眾心聲，做到知無不言、言無不盡。
有人向鄧亞萍發問：「《人民搜索》究竟是為黨搜索還是為人民搜索？」鄧亞萍當時連忙轉移話題，沒有作答。

Jike to Layoff 100 Workers after 2 Billion Investment
China’s Jike search engine, managed by former Pingpong
world champion Deng Yaping, is about to lay off 100 workers.
Internet news says Deng Yaping last year received criticism
from Ma Li, deputy editor-in-chief of “People’s Daily," due to poor management of Jike.
Other sources released news Jike has cost 2 billion yuan
in past two years,
with only a ten-thousandth market share
and literally no usage.
A new version of former People Search launched by
People.com, Jike Search is known as a government instrument.
In 2010, People’s Daily launched “People Search",
domain name “goso".
One year later it changed to its new domain jike,
which translates as fast and hunger.
June 2012, a new revision of Jike highlights the
letter “i" and Chinese characters of Jike.
Deng Yaping, a retired female table tennis player,
is the winner of four Olympic gold medals & holder of Cambridge doctorate degree.
During her study at Cambridge she served in International
Olympic Committee and Beijing Olympic Committee.
Sept. 2010, Deng was appointed Deputy Secretary-
General of “People’s Daily", and CEO of People Search Internet Corporation.
Internet news on Feb. 17 says, “Without any income,
Jike is an annoyance to the leaders, who blamed Little Deng (Deng Yaping).
… As a result, the lay-off list of 100 workers
is soon to be published.”
According to People.com’s pronouncement,
People Search had a revenue of 30 million yuan, although its turnover was zero.
It is pointed out that although Jike cost 2 billion yuan
in two years, it ranks below top ten search engines,
with less than one ten thousandth of market share,
with nearly zero usage.
Former Microsoft global vice president,
and Google China president Kai-fu Lee,
said on 17th upon Twitter, “I was banned from
speaking for three days on both Sina and Tencent.”
Earlier, a banned Twitter post by Kai-fu Lee circulated online.
It is said that after questioning Deng Yaping, Lee was silenced.
Kai-fu Lee asked: 1. Why do you use taxpayers’ money for
commercial purposes? Is it not corruption to spend 2 billion in vain?
2. Is a search engine possible when the manager has no
sense of open information? Why does she not have a Twitter?
3. Why is CEO of search engine company appointed by the Party?
4. If U.S. Democratic Party appointed Phelps Google CEO,
could Google beat Yahoo?
Quoting from insiders, Nandu.com says search engine
market is close to saturation.
Even giant companies like “Baidu" are facing recession.
Recently, 360 and Sougou Search see growth
is due to their advantages in browser.
Internet news say Tencent, Soso is also facing
the fate of being eaten by Sogou.
It is unlikely that a novice like Jike takes up
much market share.
Mainland netizen Mr. Zhang:
“She (Deng Yaping) may not understand the business.
Even if she does, I don’t think her search engine
can be market-oriented.
Now sensitive information are filtered. What users need
cannot be found on it. There will certainly be no market for it.”
Dec. 2010, Deng Yaping claimed in a speech at
Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications,
that People’s Daily never published fake news reports
in its 62 years.
She was widely blamed of being too naive for this claim.
Beijing artist and independent filmmaker Yang Weidong:
“When she became CEO of People Search,
she claimed that People’s Daily never had fake news!
She is even ignorant of basic history.
When she does not understand basic conscience,
can she be a competent official?
I guess this is CCP’s principle of appointing officials—
to choose its own members and to avoid any competition.”
One hour after Kaifu Lee posted about his being silenced,
he made another Twitter post entitled “Xi Jinping: CCP Should Be Able to Take Sharp Criticism.”
Lee’s post cites Xi’s words that CCP should accommodate sharp
criticism, so that they can correct and prevent what is wrong;
And that non-party people should have the courage to speak
the truth that reflects people’s voices without any reserve.
When Deng Yaping was once asked whether the
‘People Search’ engine work for people or for CCP?
Deng quickly changed the subject without providing an answer.
