The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 642 First-mover advantage

On May 2004, 5, Zhao Yao appeared at the gate of Jiangnan University. After he returned home that day, he asked his father for his opinion, and his father told Zhao Yao very clearly that he must go, even if he did not pay his salary. Go to class early!
"Why?" Hearing his father's affirmative answer, Zhao Yao asked in puzzlement.

"Because of the first-mover advantage!" Zhao Yao's father said, "There are two kinds of advantages in the market, one is called the first-mover advantage, and the other is called the late-mover advantage."

"The advantage of the first-mover advantage is that it can occupy the market one step ahead of time. By the time everyone rushes in, they have already occupied the most important part of the resources!"

"The latecomer advantage is the last entry. They can stand aside and watch the competition of the first movers, watch the various problems exposed by the entire industry, and then continuously improve their products and plans."

"When those who entered the market first competed to the death and consumed all kinds of resources, the latecomers entered the market with perfectly prepared products and resources, and they could instantly overcome a lot of exhaustion. The opponents who are exhausted will come from behind."

"Dad, isn't what you're talking nonsense? You've already told me the whole story!" Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and said.

"Wrong, first movers and late movers are not everyone. First movers refer to one or two people who entered the market first, while late movers refer to one or two people who entered the market last. These two kinds of people may only be They account for about 1%~5% of all the competitors, and the remaining 95% are those who enter the field in the middle, and they will definitely die!" Zhao Yao's father said lightly, and Zhao Yao listened Can't help but nod.

"Besides the first mover and late mover, you definitely can't be a late mover. First of all, time does not allow it. You have already stood at the forefront of time. There is no need to wait a few years to become a late mover. "

"Secondly, if the latecomers want to win, they must carry huge resources. Because if the latecomers want to use their latecomer advantage to overwhelm the market, they must carry a rolling torrent, that is, an extremely large variety of resources. Resources, directly wash away all the markets that those middlemen have worked so hard to occupy."

"To put it simply, latecomers need a lot of money, so latecomers are often made by large companies."

"On the contrary, the first mover is very suitable for the poor. It does not need a lot of resources, and even a single person is enough. Because the entire market is empty, he has no competitors, and he does not need to engage in any fierce fighting. You can take over the market with your strength.”

"If you look at the real business war, whenever a brand new market is opened up, the first ones to rush in must be those individual entrepreneurs with only a small amount of resources."

"Just like the Internet industry back then, the first to rush into the Internet industry were teachers like Brother Ma, students like Brother Xiao Ma, and a large number of people who only had tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars and started to start their own businesses. people."

"And these people did occupy the market at the beginning, and built a huge country with their own abilities."

"And next, those latecomers with strong strength entered the market after seeing the changes and laws of the entire market. For example, Huang He with Jiangnan Group, Softbank Capital with billions of dollars, Hong Kong The richest man, Yingke Telecom, etc., these latecomers with huge power will enter the market, and then they will mess up the earlycomers!" Dad said quietly.

[PS: In fact, a more appropriate metaphor should be the online game industry. The first movers to enter the game are Stone Age, Legend of Blood, and Fantasy Westward Journey.The latecomer to enter the game is Tencent, which carries huge resources and traffic.Among them, the first movers like Shanda were killed, while the first movers like Netease survived, and finally formed a two-strong situation with the late movers like Tencent]

"Father, according to what you say, I should be the latecomer, after all, Boss Huang won!" Zhao Yao said with a smile.

"But your father, I have no money!" Zhao Yao's father patted his son on the head and said, "Your father and I still owe millions of foreign debts, and our family depends on you, so you can only be this The first mover!" Zhao Yao's father's expression changed, and he said very seriously, "Listen, my son, Dad is not joking with you."

"After you go to school this time, you must be proactive, cooperate with all the teacher's requirements, and even apply to take the initiative to do a lot of work that is not yours!"

"Your father has been investigating and thinking about this Jiangnan University these days. The speed at which Jiangnan Group established Jiangnan University is too fast and urgent. This does not conform to the development rhythm of a normal thing, so Jiangnan Group must now have a very Huge projects that require a large number of researchers to carry out research, so a large number of researchers need to be recruited!"

"This point can be clearly understood from the fact that Jiangnan Group directly engages in the integration of production, education and research, allowing you to do research as soon as you enter school, and even take the initiative to pay you wages. Jiangnan Group must have a very large scientific research project this time. , although I don't know what this project is, it actually requires students like you who just graduated from high school to do scientific research, but this kind of project must be special, it can be completed by people like you, and this is also the reason for your rise Best opportunity!"

"Now that you enter Jiangnan University three months earlier, you will definitely enter research in advance. In this way, compared with the students who enrolled in September, you will have three more months of experience!"

"Then when all the students are grouped together to do research, I think as long as you are a normal administrator, you students who entered the school first will be promoted to be the group leader, or the class leader, or the person in charge of a small project. , or a position like dormitory head."

"Because this is a newly established school, you don't have any seniors and sisters, so you can't get help from those seniors. For example, you have three months of experience and can lead the later students to adapt to the study and work research environment. , the school will definitely make you a petty official!"

"Of course, this is just a small official. If you don't work hard, this official may not be yours in a few months. But if you work hard enough, use the three-month first-mover advantage to continue to grow , to become even better, to become the most experienced and mature of all my classmates."

"In this way, even if you are not the strongest in scientific research, the school will definitely let you become a manager or the president of the student union, which will further consolidate your first-mover advantage."

"Afterwards, we will continue to work hard and continue to consolidate. After graduating from university, Jiangnan Group will definitely not disappoint people like you. Once all the students enter Jiangnan Group to work, they will become regular workers."

"The vast majority of students must start from the most ordinary employees, but you start from the middle of the group. As far as I know, the average age of middle-level cadres in all large enterprises is over 32 years old , You, a 22-year-old student, can get a starting point that is more than 10 years ahead of others, do you think this first-mover advantage will be low?"

When Zhao Yao's father told Zhao Yao all these words, Zhao Yao was completely dumbfounded. When did he think about so many complicated things in his head.

But it is undeniable that what his father said is very reasonable, and thinking of the millions of foreign debts he has borne, Zhao Yao felt that he had to shoulder the burden of the family, so he nodded vigorously, and then on May 5 Arrived at the school gate.

It's a pity that there are very few people who have a smart father like Zhao Yao. As for those who are willing to give up the rare three-month vacation and come to class, it is even rarer. So when Zhao Yao gathered in the class that night At the time, there were only 43 students who arrived early in the entire class.

80% of them are dressed in very simple or shabby clothes, although they are not considered shabby, and their faces are dark and full of traces of life.His hands are full of calluses, and his face is written as a child from a poor family who often works.

Well, for them, being able to start receiving a monthly salary of more than [-] yuan three months in advance is simply the most wonderful thing in the world.

In fact, among the students who took the test this time, children from poor families accounted for more than 60% of the total. So more than 30 people.

The 60% application rate created an admission rate of only 3%, which shows how expensive education is.

Next, their class teacher appeared, first encouraged all the students, and then talked about the general rules of the school, and then the class teacher was very generous and invited all the students to eat in a nearby restaurant, so that everyone had a good time A pretty comfortable night.

But the comfortable one is only for one night, and in the next month, everyone will study hard.

One or two teachers come to teach them every day, but Zhao Yao can feel that these people don't seem to be professional teachers, and the level of class is quite limited. Fortunately, the content of the explanation is relatively easy to understand. From the appearance of the computer, and then the diode , five-ary calculation, the architecture principles of computer chips, etc., step by step to reveal to everyone a mysterious world belonging to computers.

Because everyone is a top examinee carefully selected by the whole country, even the last few like Zhao Yao, IQ is not covered, naturally there is no problem in understanding this knowledge.

This is because they don't know that most of the computers in the world are in binary, and they think that the computers in the world are in quinary.
