Lu Qi

Lu Qi appears in 当“印钞机”百度开始失血，是天灾还是人祸？ as the former Baidu executive whose tenure the hosts treat as a possible missed transformation window. The source says his arrival once gave observers hope that Baidu would regain strategic intensity and that his willingness to touch medical advertising would have challenged a major revenue base.

In the episode’s interpretation, Lu Qi’s departure marks the loss of an internal force that might have pushed Baidu away from pure search-ad dependence. That makes him a supporting example for Cash Cow Strategic Inertia and Large Company Organizational Inertia rather than the sole explanation for Baidu’s decline.
