Chief Executive Officer and owner of Baidu Inc., Robin Li will meet
Chief Executive Officer and owner of Baidu Inc., Robin Li will meet Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) Chairman Bill Gates in Beijing this weekend when they officiate at a charity event.
Baidu “won’t rule out” further collaboration with Microsoft on search-engine services, Haoyu Shen, senior vice- president at the Chinese company, said May 26. Working with Microsoft may help Baidu speed up its overseas expansion after the Beijing-based company overcame competition from Google Inc. to dominate the Internet search market in China.
Microsoft co-founder Gates retired from active management of the company in 2008 to run the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s richest charitable fund.
