【新唐人2013年02月19日讯】前中国乒乓球世界冠军邓亚萍领军的“即刻”搜索引擎，即将裁员100人。网上有消息披露，邓亚萍因“即刻搜索”花钱太多，经营不善，去年底遭到《人民日报社》副总编辑马利的批评。也有多个传言指称，“即刻搜索”两年花掉20亿元，占有率却低于万分之一，使用率几乎为零。
“即刻搜索”的前身是《人民网》推出的“人民搜索”。被媒体比喻为搜索行业的国家队。
2010年，《人民网》推出“人民搜索”，使用“goso”域名。运营一年后的“人民搜索”使用新域名“jike”。新域名有即刻、饥渴等含义。2012年6月，“即刻搜索”全新改版，使用全新商标，突出字母“i”与“即刻”两个字。
邓亚萍，是一名退役女乒乓球运动员。拥有4块奥运金牌、剑桥大学博士学位；求学期间兼任国际奥委会和北京奥组委工作；2010年9月，邓亚萍出任《人民日报社》副秘书长，兼“人民搜索网络股份公司”总经理。
2月17号，有网文匿名透露：“即刻搜索到现在基本没有收益，领导不愿意了，把小邓（邓亚萍）教训了一通……。于是，一张百人裁员名单出炉了，据说近期就将公布。”
根据《人民网》招股说明书，2010年“人民搜索”营业收入为零，净利润却达3000多万元。
也有多个传言指称，“即刻搜索”两年花掉20亿元。而去年中国搜索引擎访问量前十名，“即刻搜索”不见踪影，占有率低于万分之一，使用率几乎为零。
曾经担任“微软公司”全球副总裁，和“谷歌”中国区总裁的李开复，17号在推特发文说：“我在新浪、腾讯都被禁言三天”。
稍早前，网友广传李开复一篇被删除的微博。据说李开复问了邓亚萍几个问题后，被禁言。
李开复问：1，为何用纳税人的钱来做商业运营？花了纳税人20亿打水漂！黑点吧？2，做搜索引擎，却没有信息通畅开放的信念，可能有戏吗？她咋连微博也没？3，搜索引擎公司老总，为何由党任命？4，如果当年美国民主党任命菲尔普斯任谷歌CEO，谷歌能打败雅虎吗？
《南都网》引述业内人士的话表示，搜索引擎市场已经接近饱和，连“百度”这样的巨鳄都面临着衰退。近来，“360 搜索”、“搜狗”呈上升态势，凭的是浏览器入口的优势。网传《腾讯》的“搜搜”也面临被“搜狗”纳入囊中的命运。而像“即刻”这样的愣头青，想在对手环视的市场里闯出一番名堂，可能性很小。
大陆网友张先生：“她（邓亚萍）可能不懂业务，但是我觉得她就是懂业务的话，她这个搜索引擎它也不能市场化，因为现在敏感的信息搜索不到，用户叫的那些东西搜索不到，这样的话肯定没有市场，没有市场就搞不下去。”
2010年12月，邓亚萍在“北京邮电大学”的一次演讲中声称：“《人民日报》创刊62年，从来没有出过假新闻。”而遭到舆论炮轰——“幼稚”。
北京艺术家、独立制片人杨伟东：“她上人民搜索当总裁的时候，不是说人民日报从来就没有说过瞎话吗!一个最基本的历史常识她不知道，第二，最基本的良知她都不知道，这个官员能称职吗?这是共产党用人的方式吧!现在的官员就希望用自己的人嘛!没有竞争嘛!”
李开复发出被禁言的推文后一小时，又在推特转发一条博文，题为“习近平：对中国共产党而言，要容得下尖锐批评”。
李开复推文说，习近平表示，共产党要容得下尖锐批评，做到有则改之、无则加勉；对党外人士而言，要敢于讲真话，敢于讲逆耳之言，真实反映群众心声，做到知无不言、言无不尽。
有人向邓亚萍发问：“《人民搜索》究竟是为党搜索还是为人民搜索？”邓亚萍当时连忙转移话题，没有作答。

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.
