legendary trader

Chapter 909 910 Company
After listening to Li Yihong, they not only came up with a bidding trading system, but also came up with an over-the-counter trading system, and even kept saying that the second trading method is easier to be liked by current currency players, and there is a so-called investigation basis. Supported by the data, Chen Fan felt speechless.

"I understand."

Chen Fan said lightly, looking out of the window while speaking, "Did you know that the current bitcoin transaction is actually similar to the second type you mentioned, and the current players are used to this kind of transaction, so if they choose, they will choose this one." way out.

But what we want to do is not to provide them with a place to trade, we want to charge transaction fees in their transactions. This transaction fee was originally obtained by those miners, which is called a miner's fee in the Bitcoin circle.

I told you my thoughts on the phone at the time. Using the first trading method is not only more convenient, faster, and intuitive, but also allows you to earn some income from the Bitcoin bookkeeping rights, because this fee does not matter. No matter how they trade, they all have to pay out in the end. The only difference is whether they pay us or pay the miners. "

Having said that, Li Yihong knew that Chen Fan's choice must be to choose the first trading system instead of providing a trading venue, but Li Yihong still planned to finish his sentence, so he continued:

"In terms of charging, we also analyzed that two methods were proposed at that time. The first is to charge according to the transaction volume, with a fixed charging ratio. The other is not to charge during the transaction, but to withdraw cash or Fees in Bitcoin."

"My previous thoughts have not changed, so I choose the first way."

Chen Fan turned his head and said to Li Yihong.

"There is another thing, this only involves setting issues, which is the unit of bitcoin, because the currency value of bitcoin is very low now, but I asked, bitcoin can actually be divided into eight digits after the decimal point .”

Li Yihong continued.

"For the time being, it is still based on individual units. As for the future, we will have to wait until later."

After thinking for a while, Chen Fan said, "Have you discussed the amount of transaction fees? Have you consulted with the tax department about whether bitcoin transactions are subject to stamp duty or other taxes?"

"The tax department responded that Bitcoin is not a securities asset, so stamp duty and the like are not levied.

As for the collection of transaction fees, we initially considered two-way fees, both buyers and sellers will be charged. However, due to the low price of Bitcoin and the fact that the transaction unit has not been determined, it seems that it is not suitable at this stage. One-way Fees are easier to implement, that is, buyers do not charge, and sellers charge one-thousandth of the transaction fee, with a minimum of 1 yuan. "

Li Yihong replied.

"What does the representative from Keyuan mean?"

Chen Fan asked.

"This is the preliminary plan we decided after discussion. They also proposed that after the buyer buys bitcoins, if they choose to withdraw bitcoins, they have to pay a certain fee. However, although bitcoins can be divided, because of the previous The trading unit has not been confirmed, so it is temporarily put down, and I am waiting for you to come over this time to make a final decision."

Li Yihong said, “Because there were no such transactions in Bitcoin before, no reference case could be found. Even those traders who are familiar with the financial market are still scratching their heads. .”

"Actually, Bitcoin withdrawals can be directly charged in Bitcoin. Those traders may not be aware of it. We also receive a few fractions of Bitcoin in Bitcoin transactions. After all, it involves Bitcoin transfers and they all have to pay. miner's fee.

This point may be a bit difficult for new bitcoin players to understand, but it is acceptable for players who understand the characteristics of bitcoin. "

Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, "It seems that you just made the trading system, and the trading rules still haven't made much progress."

"It's easier to reach an agreement if it's simple, but there are some differences between our people and the people on the Science Park side in some details. In fact, when we discuss internally, the differences are also very big."

Li Yihong smiled a little embarrassedly.

"It's understandable. I went to the company in a while and gave me a copy of the trading rules I'm doing. I'll take a look at it when I go home. I can't make a decision on this matter. I have to wait for Mr. Zhang to come over to make a decision."

Chen Fan thought about it before he said.

The car drove into the underground garage of Chaofan Network Company, and they took the elevator up to the top floor. There is an office here that is not used all year round, but it is cleaned every day.

After Chen Fan walked into his office and sat down, Li Yihong quickly asked someone to send over all the previous information about the exchange, but Chen Fan was not interested in the trading system, because he couldn't understand it even if he was interested.

Flipping through the documents in his hand, Chen Fan said to Li Yihong indifferently: "I said on the phone before that the procurement of the most advanced servers, electronic trading systems and clients must undergo intensive testing. How is this going? gone?"

"The selection of servers refers to the configuration of overseas financial markets. High defense, low latency, and remote disaster recovery are all taken into consideration, which can ensure the security of transactions. At the same time, we will deploy a professional team from the protection department to take charge of network security in the early stage. .”

Li Yihong said, "The people at Science Park saw our plan and fully agreed with it.

However, they also raised one thing, that is, after the company starts operating, it is best to apply for a piece of land from the city government, and refer to the standards of the exchange to rebuild a building as the venue of the exchange.

However, this investment is a bit large, and we did not respond. "

"They're thinking too far ahead."

Chen Fan said without raising his head, and continued to look through the documents in his hand.

"Where is the server set up now?"

After a while, Chen Fan flipped through the documents in his hand, looked up at Li Yihong and asked.

"In the Hongkou Building in the financial district, we rented three floors, one of which is the floor where the backup server is installed, and the other two floors are the main server and daily office space."

Li Yihong said, "When does Mr. Chen plan to go and have a look?"

"I won't go there for the time being. I'll wait for Mr. Zhang to find time to come and go there together. At that time, we will also decide on some pending matters of the exchange."

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "I'll take this part of the information about the trading rules you drafted home to read first, and I won't be able to decide for a while."

Speaking of which, Chen Fan put the two stacks of documents back away, and asked Li Yihong again: "Please tell me about the company's recent operations."

This time I came to Shanghai mainly to deal with the affairs of the Bitcoin exchange, but I also need to pay attention to the affairs of Chaofan Network Company.

It is impossible for Chen Fan to unilaterally decide on the trading rules in a short period of time. Naturally, his energy will be transferred to Chaofan Network Company, which is also his due responsibility.

Of course Li Yihong knew that when Chen Fan asked about the company's business situation, he definitely didn't come by looking at the data. The company's financial report was sent to the headquarters on time every month, and Chen Fan could see it in the imperial capital office.

In fact, the development of Chaofan Network Company in the past two years is still good. The portal website is facing strong competitive pressure, but this is the case when it entered the industry, and it has accumulated a lot of users over time. Now the traffic of the website is also high. Steadily improving, the traffic ranking of domestic websites has risen to No. 7. You must know that they were only No. 9 at this time last year.

The network security department is a little more serious, because it was an early entry into the industry, and other companies in the industry charged fees at the beginning, and Chaofan Network's security software was mainly free when it was launched, which naturally attracted many individual users, after all, it does not cost money.

However, with the rapid increase in market share, some other companies have also participated.

They also launched the castrated version of network protection software for free, which greatly reduced the market share of Chaofan Network Company, which once almost monopolized domestic personal computer protection software, but it has stabilized now, after all, it still has a certain degree of stickiness.

The only one that is still in a state of competition is IM. So far, it is still a big money burner of the company, and it is still inseparable from TT in order to compete for users.

Although the market share of IM still lags behind that of TT, which has a first-mover advantage, the gap between the two is narrowing due to the addition of protection software and game sectors. The solution, unless there are special means, can only use time to grind and narrow the gap little by little.

As for the last part of the company, which is the game department established less than two years ago, it has mainly introduced overseas games so far, and it is currently the only profitable department of the company.

Although I have plans to make my own games, so far due to the lack of developers, the actual progress has not been great.

After Li Yihong quickly went through several sections of the company in his mind, he really didn't know what to say for a while.

The purpose of Chen Fan's question should be to find out the company's current problems, that is, the difficulties encountered in the operation, but the company seems to be well-organized under his own management, and there are no problems that need to be solved. If there are any problems, he will ask the boss for money , If the competitor is acquired, the market will be monopolized, but can this be said?

In fact, this kind of behavior of directly spending money to acquire competitors is already very common in overseas markets. It is not only to eliminate an opponent, but also to obtain some technical patents in the hands of the opponent.

Li Yihong hesitated for a moment, but thought a lot. Although he didn't think of a clue for the time being, he still said: "The company's business scope is mainly four business segments at present."

So Li Yihong chose to analyze the company's main businesses one by one in front of Chen Fan, and also explained the current market situation to Chen Fan. In the past, such industry information would not be mixed into the submitted reports. Yes, the submitted report contains only data such as market volume, market share, and future plans.

Chen Fan sat there and listened carefully, without interrupting Li Yihong's narration.

"You plan to continue to expand the game department?"

After Li Yihong finished talking about the company's business and future plans, Chen Fan asked.

"At present, in the company's business sector, only the game business has profitability. Although the headquarters is very supportive of us, relying on external blood transfusions for a long time is not conducive to the healthy development of the company.

In fact, the company's continued development has fallen into a bottleneck. If it wants to continue to expand its market share, it is difficult to do so in a short period of time without the influence of external factors. The market has basically been solidified.

At present, the company consumes more funds in the development of technology and applications, which requires a large number of technical personnel to develop products as soon as possible after the planning department gives a new plan.

But at this stage, there is a very frustrating phenomenon. Once we develop a product or function with relatively high potential, because the technical threshold is not high, other companies can easily imitate it. This is the case in IM and TT. is particularly evident in the competition.

To put it bluntly, taking IM as an example, if we want to defeat TT, I think it may be a long-term process, that is, more consumption, because everyone’s products are similar, and a relatively fixed group has been cultivated to use them. It is almost impossible to replace the opponent at once. It can only be said that it depends on who has no money in the competition and chooses to surrender and admit defeat.

Therefore, I think our main job at this stage is to find profit points and try our best to make the company more viable. The game department, from now on, is one of the company’s opportunities. As I said earlier, domestic games The market has been developing very rapidly recently. "

After listening to Li Yihong's words, Chen Fan thought for a while before continuing to ask: "You first said that there were originally three game production plans in the company, but later two were canceled due to lack of manpower, and only one game development was retained. How can the human resources department deal with the shortage of manpower?"

"This has nothing to do with the human resources department. It's not that they have problems with their work, but that there are relatively few domestic game developers. At present, several technical teams in China are treated as treasures by their companies. Even if they want to poach people, it's very difficult Disaster.

We started recruiting personnel at the end of last year and plan to train them ourselves, but this will take time.”

Li Yihong told Chen Fan about the company's ongoing game development project in detail, at least he said that he and the company's management team were not lazy, and were still trying their best to advance the company's affairs.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, do you know that several domestic telecommunications companies are planning to upgrade their networks and increase bandwidth?"

When Li Yihong's conversation was about to end, Chen Fan asked suddenly before getting up and leaving.

"You need information on this?"

Chen Fan asked in surprise.

"No, on the website, didn't we acquire a large number of music copyrights before? When contacting these entertainment companies to purchase online music copyrights, they tied up and traded the online broadcasting rights of some film and television works at the beginning."

Li Yihong said hurriedly.

"I know this, the price is not expensive anyway, just buy it if you buy it, but what does this have to do with your question about network speed?"

Chen Fan was still puzzled, he didn't understand what Li Yihong meant when he said this.
