@ Jürgen,

habe letzte Woche auch Info der "Nigeria Connection" erhalten, daß ein bei dem Tsunami 2002
mir unbekannter Namensvetter 20 Mio. hinterlassen hat, und ich ihn beerben darf.

Ist bereits in Ablage "P".

und hätte ich von ienergy ein solches Schreiben bekommen, würde es auch dort landen, aber
ich habe es nicht bekommen.

und darüber, ob so etwas seriös ist oder warum es gemacht wird, mag ich kein Gehirnschmalz
verwenden.

Meine Anteile bleiben, wo sie sind.

Gruß

Hallo,

habt ihr auch ein Aktientauschangebot von der Bank für eure BAIDU Aktien bekommen?

Das Schreiben verlinkt auf diese Page: http://bai.ienergy.ag/index.html

Wenn ich richtig rechne wären das bei dem Tauschverhältnis von 1:17 ca 130 Euro pro Aktie. Erstmals frage ich mich natürlich ob das seriös ist und zweitens weiso jemand das macht?

Beste Grüße
Jürgen

Baidu Bing Deal Is Great Strategy But Unimportant For Microsoft Stock
Jul. 8 2011 - 2:32 am

Baidu, the most popular Chinese search engine with over 83% of the market, has been the dominant player in the Chinese search landscape for years. While Baidu offers quality results in the local language, it hasn’t fared well when it comes to search results in the English language.

On Tuesday, Baidu announced a partnership with Microsoft, which opens the China market to Bing and is a rare success over Google that left China following censorship concerns. [1] Bing will now power the English language search results on Baidu, which could help it grow its market share vs. Google and Yahoo.

Strategic Move & Muted Upside for Now

We currently have a $27 price estimate for Microsoft, which implies a 4% upside to the current market price of near $26. This deal is largely strategic in nature so we do not expect much of an impact Microsoft’s as Bing accounts for less than 3% of the Trefis price estimate for Microsoft.

Microsoft Gains Access to Chinese Internet Population – 470 Million Users

With the Baidu deal, Microsoft now has a chance to reach the largest Internet population in the world – 470 million users – who are increasingly beginning to use the English language search on Baidu. Bing currently powers close to 10% of all global searches with about 4% through Bing and 6% through Yahoo Search. [2] With the Baidu deal, it has a chance to increase this further. Gaining access to the Internet population in the Chinese mainland gives Bing a huge boost over Google.

Baidu, NTT DoCoMo to Set Up JV in China
By JURO OSAWA
08.07.2011

TOKYO—Japanese telecom operator NTT DoCoMo Inc. said Friday it has agreed with Chinese Internet search operator Baidu Inc. to set up a joint venture in China to distribute games and other mobile-phone content in the mainland in a move that could help them cash in on the expected growth of smartphone users.

Baidu, China's largest online search engine, will hold 80% of the joint venture, while DoCoMo, Japan's largest mobile carrier, will hold 20%. DoCoMo said its investment will amount to about ¥2 billion ($24.6 million).

Demand for mobile content in China is expected to surge in the coming years. Content to be distributed by the joint venture will include Japanese games, animation and comic books.

With smartphones, more people are surfing the web and using various online services on their handsets, creating a huge incentive for Internet companies to launch services for the mobile market.

Baidu is looking to expand its business beyond online search advertising, which accounts for most of its revenue. The company's other efforts to diversify its businesses include its e-commerce joint venture in China with Japan's Rakuten Inc., and its online video venture Qiyi.

Baidu's share of the revenue in China's online search market was 75.8% in the first quarter, up from 75.5% in the previous quarter, while Google Inc.'s share was down to 19.2% from 19.6%, according to Beijing research firm Analysys International.

DoCoMo will provide Baidu with its know-how in building content distribution systems for mobile handsets.

The partnership is part of DoCoMo's efforts to increase its overseas presence. Although the carrier continues to control about half of Japan's mobile market by subscriber figures, the country's population is aging and shrinking. Seeking long-term growth, DoCoMo has been seeking more opportunities to expand overseas. The company has invested about ¥263 billion in India's Tata Teleservices Ltd. and holds a 26.5% stake in the mobile carrier.

Why Baidu Could Triple From Here
by: Sean Farhy July 7, 2011

Could Baidu (BIDU) triple from here? It may sound a little crazy but let’s look at a few reasons why.

* Baidu trades at 37 times forward earnings, Google (GOOG) trades at 14 times forward earnings, if we take Google’s current multiples and overlay them on Baidu’s current stock price, we could see an increase from $145 a share to around $385 a share. If we look at trailing earnings—we estimate that Baidu shares would be worth around $600 a share.

* Baidu’s quarterly year-over-year revenue growth and is 88% vs. Google’s 26%, and Baidu’s quarterly year-over-year earnings growth is 122% while Google’s was –8%. Future estimated growth for this year and next is 14% and 16% for Google vs. 75% and 50% for Baidu.

* China is still a growing market, despite government obstacles and regulatory issues. China is expected to grow at around 10% while the U.S. and other western economies will be lucky not to slip back into recession. A growing China market will further justify Baidu’s high multiples.

There are certainly risks associated with investing in China, mainly political ones. Over the past several years Google has had repeated problems with the Chinese government, as it has threatened to shut down Google's operations there. Google’s loss would be Baidu’s gain, as Baidu already has 75% of the Chinese search market, and it's still growing.

Eventually Baidu’s growth will mature as Google’s did, but with over a billion Chinese still coming into a first world economy, one should not ignore this stock. It is my belief that this stock still has good reason to rise further, a triple from here is certainly possible. Years ago, I was in the camp that one could not justify the multiples, business model, and growth forecasts of Google. I don’t want to make the same mistake twice.

Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Baidu in deal with Chinese firm to grab TV viewers
6:00am EDT

SHANGHAI, July 6 (Reuters) - China's top search engine Baidu Inc said on Wednesday it had reached an agreement with a Chinese television company to bring its search box to millions of television screens.

Baidu said in a statement it reached an agreement with Huashu Media Internet company to jointly develop digital products and business models for Chinese television users.

Baidu will also provide its current services of search, video, music and communication to more than 100 cities, potentially reaching tens of millions of television users.

"Search is not limited to a PC or a mobile terminal. We hope that everyone, through any terminal, anytime, anywhere, can easily find the accurate information they need through Baidu's 'box'," Baidu's assistant to the chief executive Zhang Dongchen said in a statement.

Baidu, which owns a stake in online video company Qiyi.com, is trying to diversify outside its core business of search. Earlier this year, the firm announced a tie-up with Microsoft that will see Microsoft's search engine Bing power its English-keyword searches.

Baidu leads China's search market with around 80 percent of user traffic. China is the world's largest Internet market with more than 450 million users. (Reporting by Melanie Lee; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)

Is Baidu Sleeping With the Bing Enemy?

http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2011/07/05/is-baidu-sl…

Rick Aristotle Munarriz
July 5, 2011

China's leading search engine is teaming up with the world's largest software company to beef up its English-language queries.

Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT ) Bing will begin serving up results to the roughly 10 million search requests in English that are entered daily on Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU ) .

The deal makes sense in theory. Baidu is the undisputed champ of Chinese-language search, accounting for more than three quarters of the country's search traffic. Expanding into Japan -- home to another character-driven language -- a few years ago hasn't been easy. It will probably take even longer before it masters Western searches.

Baidu still needs to be careful here. As a hometown fave, Baidu's decision to lean on Bing for English searches will validate the foreign provider. We all saw what happened when Yahoo! turned to a then-upstart Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) to fuel its searches a decade ago. Yahoo! dumped Big G as its search technology in 2004, but the damage was already done. The Google brand had arrived.

Microsoft has been opportunistic lately, offering up billions to power Yahoo!'s searches and Nokia's (Nasdaq: NOK ) smartphones. However, both of those companies were grappling with meandering market share and uninspiring top-line growth. Baidu is on top of the world. Revenue and earnings soared 88% and 123%, respectively, in its latest quarter. It has blown past Wall Street's quarterly profit targets with ease over the past two years. It also doesn't need the money, though the financial details of this arrangement are not being disclosed.

In short, Baidu has more to lose than gain here. In the eyes of China, Bing will become the search engine of choice for English queries. This may dent Google's fading market share at first, but won't it ultimately build up Bing as Baidu's biggest threat as Microsoft beefs up its Chinese-language search?

Be careful with Mr. Softy, Baidu. History hasn't been kind to the outsourcers in this space.

Bei dem Deal mit Baidu würden die gesamten Werbeeinnahmen zwar beim chinesischen Partner bleiben

Nun, wenn dem tatsächlich so ist, wäre das natürlich eine feine Geschichte.

Microsoft
Dank Baidu: Chinesischer Markt für Suchmaschinen im Visier

Microsoft will den chinesischen Markt für Suchmaschinen aufmischen. Kooperation mit dem Markftührer Baidu bis Jahresende geplant.

Microsoft möchte künftig mit Baidu kooperieren


Berlin. Während der große Rivale Google in China nach einem Zensur-Streit auf Sparflamme fährt, prescht Microsoft ins Suchmaschinen-Geschäft in dem boomenden Markt vor. Marktführer Baidu wird für englischsprachige Suchanfragen auf seiner Webseite auf Microsofts Bing zurückgreifen, wie das chinesische Unternehmen am Montag laut Medienberichten mitteilte. Der Plan solle zum Jahresende umgesetzt werden, berichtete die „New York Times“. Dem „Wall Street Journal“ zufolge geht es dabei nur um einen Teil der Suchanfragen, der Anteil wurde jedoch nicht näher genannt. Baidu beherrscht die Websuche in China mit einem geschätzten Marktanteil von bis zu 80 Prozent. Die Dominanz wurde zementiert, nachdem Google eine Kraftprobe mit den chinesischen Behörden wagte. Der Internet-Konzern hatte Anfang vergangenen Jahres nach einer Hacker-Attacke angekündigt, sich nicht mehr an Pekings Zensurvorgaben halten zu wollen und dafür notfalls auch die Verbannung aus dem Reich der Mitte zu riskieren.

Chinesische Behörden schreiben Internet-Unternehmen als Voraussetzung für den Betrieb vor, für die Machthaber in Peking politisch heikle Inhalte herauszufiltern. Dafür gehören etwa Informationen über die blutige Niederschlagung der Proteste auf dem Platz des Himmlischen Friedens oder die Kontroverse um Tibet. Obwohl dazu keine Angaben gemacht wurden, sei davon auszugehen, dass auch Microsoft seine Suchergebnisse werde zensieren müssen, schrieb die „New York Times“. Google leitete bei dem Streit mit Peking zunächst die Suchanfragen aus China im Frühjahr 2010 direkt auf seine Seite in Hongkong um, wo die Treffer nicht zensiert werden müssen. Die Behörden blockierten den Zugang umgehend. Als ein Verlust der Lizenz für China drohte, ersetzte der Konzern dann im Sommer die automatische Weiterleitung bei google.cn durch einen Link zu Hongkong-Seite, den die Nutzer selbst anklicken müssen. Nach dem Streit schrumpfte der Google-Marktanteil in China von zuvor mehr als 30 auf zuletzt geschätzte knapp 20 Prozent. Weltweit ist Google die mit Abstand meistgenutzte Internet-Suchmaschine.

Microsofts Bing liege in China derzeit nur bei einem Prozent, schrieb die „Financial Times“ unter Berufung auf die Marktforschungsfirma Analysys International. Bei dem Deal mit Baidu würden die gesamten Werbeeinnahmen zwar beim chinesischen Partner bleiben, Microsoft werde aber seinen Dienst in China etwas bekannter machen können, hieß es. (dpa)

Microsoft und Baidu schließen sich zusammen

Chinas größter Suchmaschinenbetreiber Baidu geht eine Partnerschaft mit dem US-Software-Konzern Microsoft ein. Dadurch solle Baidu sein englischsprachiges Angebot verbessern und Microsoft von mehr Nutzern profitieren.

Shanghai.Der US-Software-Konzern Microsoft hat eine Zusammenarbeit mit Chinas größtem Suchmaschinenbetreiber Baidu besiegelt. Die Kooperation sieht eine Integration von Microsofts Suchmaschine Bing auf der chinesischen Internet-Seite vor, wie Baidu am Montag mitteilte. Tippen Nutzer künftig eine englischsprachige Suchanfrage auf Baidu ein, wird demnach automatisch Bing aktiviert, dessen Ergebnisse dann auf Baidu angezeigt werden. Dadurch verbessere Baidu sein englischsprachiges Angebot, während Bing Zugang zu den mehr als 450 Millionen Internet-Nutzern von Baidu erhalte. Microsoft war für eine Stellungnahme zunächst nicht zu erreichen.

Nach dem Rückzug des US-Konzerns Google aus China wegen eines Streits um Zensurfragen dominiert Baidu den chinesischen Suchmaschinen-Markt mit einem Anteil von 76 Prozent. Die Kooperation mit Microsoft dürfte es Google weiter erschweren, in dem Riesenreich wieder Fuß zu fassen. China ist schon jetzt der größte Internet-Markt der Welt. Mit einer Web-Verbreitung von lediglich 30 Prozent birgt das Land aber nach Einschätzung von Analysten immer noch ein großes Wachstumspotenzial für Internet-Unternehmen.
