From
Reuters:
"Technology veteran Jerry Liu, who helped develop China's Internet search firm
Baidu.com Inc. into a Nasdaq hot stock from a start-up, may be considering launching his own business.
Liu's resignation from the company dubbed "China's Google", effective
Dec. 19, was "not a huge surprise", said Lesley Zhang, senior manager
of Baidu's investor relations department."
" Baidu said in a
statement late on Tuesday that Liu, who was Baidu's first employee and
had been the company's vice president of engineering since January 2000
before becoming CTO at the beginning of 2006, resigned for "personal
reasons"."
