this man is not calm

Chapter 142 Cold and Hot

The pancakes are too small, even if I eat them all by myself, it's just that, not worth mentioning.

It is necessary to raise the expectations of all sectors of society for the Internet industry, more policies and capital tilts, and the joint efforts of everyone to make the pie bigger, in order to truly promote and leverage a larger fundamental market.

As for whether Jinxi Culture's operating costs will be greatly increased due to competition, and its development speed will be limited?

This is not a problem!

They are not fools, and they cannot be stopped. It is better to seize the initiative and attract more people to open up wasteland.Anyway, there is no possibility of making profits in the short term. Ninety-nine out of ten Internet start-up companies cannot survive for three years.

Leaving aside other industries, Internet companies with light asset operations and "golden fingers" traversers have both first-mover advantages. They can't compete with local aborigines, so they should change careers earlier and be honest.

"In such a lucrative and fast-growing industry, people are stupid and rich, hurry up!" 』

Keeping the right direction, maintaining the advantages of scale, and bluffing more capital into the front line, this is actually more in line with the long-term planning of Jinxi Culture.

After the meeting, Jin Shang exchanged pleasantries with several people who came over for a chat, called Sun Daqi, Yang Qi and Yang Qiuping, and found a small restaurant that was not too conspicuous, serving beer, edamame, peanuts, and barbecue while eating while chatting.

"Brother Sun, where is the Buddha who asked the data question?"

"The accounting and finance department is quite famous. Maybe he will be transferred to the bank or the finance department..."

"Which bank?"

"Can there be a second one?"

Sun Daqi breathed out the smell of alcohol, pointed to the sky,
"I've been here for so long, but I haven't been able to talk a few times. Today is a rare opportunity to get close..."

After getting along for a long time, Jin Shang felt more and more that Sun Daqi was really a soft-hearted person, and he was relatively calm in doing things, but he was really acquainted, and bragging was also the kind of fluff.

Running around and doing business is a very outstanding talent, but if you don't know when to shut up, you will easily get into trouble.

Fortunately, Lao Sun's business has just started, and he doesn't have enough capital yet. The Yellow Pages business, which he worked hard for a year or two, is about to change hands.

"Brother Sun, will you work here from now on?"

"Let's wait for two years to talk about it! I used to think about earning some money to improve my life, and I had more contacts with people in the ministry. I think this line of work has a lot to do. Now I feel very lucky. When I went abroad to see flowers, I saw some of them. The idea of ​​the Internet is to think that you have caught the code to get rich, come back to fiddle with it, and have nothing to lose, and you are really lucky.”

"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other! It's not bad now, whether it is to continue to work hard within the system, or go to sea again, it's fine."

Jin Shang raised his glass and touched Sun Daqi, and took a big swig boldly.

The vision is different, and the layout is different. To be honest, the current Sun Daqi may not really be interested in the Yellow Pages business, even though it can bring tens of millions of income every year.

It may be more in line with his wish to push the boat along the way and cash out.

"Since I met you, I feel that my life has taken a different path. I should be able to live in a different way. I should be a teacher honestly and make money by translating. In fact, it's okay, but... it seems that something is missing. "

"I'm not willing to be mediocre, Brother Sun. You're used to the feasting and feasting in the capital, are you still willing to go back and be a teacher on the banks of the Qiantang River?"

"20 years from now, maybe you will, but now..."

Sun Daqi smiled and shook his head,
"Xiaojin, Sanshui Network, when the actual business transfer starts, I will trouble you..."

"Don't worry, the great talents of your company can come anytime as long as they want to."

"With your words, I feel relieved. Back then, I swore to take them to the north and boasted about Haikou. If I couldn't even keep a guy to eat, it would be too shameful."

Most of Sun Daqi's company ended up being reduced to a vassal, or its main business was emptied out.

Those employees of Sanshui Network, not all of them will eat public meals, and not all of them are willing to be bound by that.

If you can't find a job in the capital as soon as possible, you can only go back to your hometown.

With Jinxi Culture's current strength, it's not difficult to take over the whole thing, but it's not necessary.

After talking about some trivial matters, several people talked about the topic of e-mail.

Discussions on technology are secondary. The key lies in information security, operating model, adapting to the usage habits of Chinese people, etc. Jin Shang, Yang Qiuping, Yang Qi and others seem to have some differences.

Yang Qiuping's plan is to develop a mailbox management system to provide technical support for all companies willing to develop email services.

Jin Shang wants to develop his own e-mail and integrate it into a series of services of Jinxi Culture.

There is little point in renting a mature product from a third party.

E-mail is not a core business, but its importance is not low. At least at this stage, it is one of the indispensable components of Internet companies.

"Dr. Yang, how far is your e-mail system developed now?"

"The basic framework has been completed, and the rest is pure investment, perfected with manpower and material resources!"

"It's a little troublesome!"

Jin Shang pondered for a while, then sighed regretfully,

"It's not that my desire to master is too strong, but that it must match the company's overall operating plan."

E-mail is an effective carrier to provide paid value-added services in the early stage. You ask netizens to open a yellow diamond and green diamond just to decorate your private space more beautifully. It is true that no one is willing to spend money. You can spend a little money to upgrade your e-mail Space, the privilege of receiving large attachments, etc., those in need are still willing to spend this money.

But if the technical service is not done by our own people, there is no way to operate it.

"Worry! Dr. Yang, do you mean to sell the source code separately? We will do the follow-up maintenance and development by ourselves, or we can engage in technical exchanges..."

"This... I have to think about it, Xiao Jin's request is too sudden, I haven't considered it before!"

This should be a polite refusal.

That's right, buying and selling source code is equivalent to exposing the core secrets of the software to outsiders.No one would do it unless absolutely necessary.

E-mail is not a very clever network technology, but in this era, it is still very bluffing. After 20 years, an independent e-mail management system has been developed, including software and hardware investment, network investment, computer room service operation and maintenance. Wait, after two or three years, it will cost 40 to [-].

It may be cheaper if you rent a ready-made cloud mailbox.

It is now the midsummer of [-], the technical strength is not that strong, and the objective conditions are not so convenient. If it is really necessary to complete a complete system, the cost is still not small.

Not to mention anything else, the security protection and anti-spam modules alone are enough for the technicians under Jinxi Culture to study for a year and a half.

If you want to quickly expand your strength, recruit talents step by step, and train programmers, it will not work. When you can’t do it, buy ready-made products, recruit mature teams, or even directly acquire small and beautiful companies that can supplement your strategic layout. Studio, more efficient.

After actually embarking on the road of Internet entrepreneurship, Jin Shang also understood why the big IT companies in the previous life spent a lot of money, from independent research and development to buying, buying, and even plagiarism.

The market is changing so fast that even a leading company may only take three to five months to be disrupted.

Judging from the current situation, there is actually no need to worry about the e-mail business, even if it takes a year or two, there is still time.

However, Jin Shang didn't want to wait!

Afraid of long nights and dreams!

If you don't occupy a position in advance, you will be preempted by others, and you will occupy the market in advance. If you want to regain it, you will need to spend more time and energy, and the investment will be much larger.

"Is there any special reason why Xiaojin has such an urgent need for e-mail? You can ask the operator first. They seem to have launched some mailbox leasing business."

"Telecom mailbox, I've heard of it!"

Jin Shang shook his head lightly,

"It's difficult to persuade them to provide customized services! Their work focus is not here, and they may not be willing to invest too much energy in the operation."

"If it wasn't for me, the equity would have been allocated long ago, and it would be nice to have Xiao Jin as a partner."

Yang Qiuping roughly understood Jin Shang's thoughts,
"If the requirements for the e-mail system are not too high, you can try to buy a ready-made one. For example, go to various universities and ask..."

"Can you do it?"

"I have great hopes! In fact, many powerful universities have done research on similar subjects. You also know that the products they make are not very practical and not suitable for business development, but they are barely usable..."

"This... is true!"

It's like the School of Computer Science, Beijing Normal University. If you look through the family background, you can find similar things in everything.The instant messaging software that is now being developed intensively is stripped from existing applications.

First solve the problem of whether it is available, and then deal with the difficulty of whether it is easy to use.

Overall planning, rapid iteration!
In the rapidly advancing Internet arena, what stands out is not necessarily the best and most mature product, but it must be the product that is most in line with the user's usage habits.

Habits can be cultivated!
After making up his mind, he asked Director Huang Kunyu if he could buy Jin Shang, the source code of the e-mail system, and put it aside for the time being.

"Dr. Yang, if there is an opportunity in the future, we will strengthen our cooperation."

"must!"

The two shook hands sympathetically, but Jin Shang knew very well in his heart that the two parties might become competitors in the future.

With Yang Qiuping's knowledge, experience and ambition, it is absolutely impossible to be satisfied with only tossing in the field of e-mail.

In the Internet world, in the stage of barbaric growth, it is basically to do what you want to see, and to rush to the top, the survival of the fittest, losers lose everything, and winners take all.

As far as Jin Shang knows, IT entrepreneurs these days, except for Beijing Technology's kind of disruptors who are completely amateurs and don't have a little bit of Internet thinking, as long as they have a little foresight, the entry point is either email or anti-virus software.

Those with better technology and stronger capital are fighting in the meat grinder of browsers and system software. If they have nothing to accumulate, they will develop office applications.

As for those who sell video games, they are basically not in the mainstream.

The main online businesses of Jinxi Culture are basically no one to follow suit, and it is also because they have not stepped on the current hot spots.

In the eyes of a group of Ph.D. masters, overseas returnees, and amateurs who love to generate electricity, Jin Shang's company is more like a media company than an Internet technology company.

It is not pure enough, its technical strength is not strong, and it is "not doing business properly". It has launched its own website, developed several small games, and has not produced any products that can be sold. It is impossible to talk about core competitiveness.

In the past, he had been immersed in his work and had little contact with his peers. Jin Shang really didn't know much about the things in this circle. After dealing with Yang Qi and others a lot, he gradually came to terms with it.

In the previous life, the number of registered users of QQ exceeded 2000 million, and the number of online users exceeded one million at the same time. Most of the Internet peers, and even industrial capital, could not recognize its value. In the second year after the new century, seeing that the number of active users exceeded [-] million is just around the corner. Little Superman sold the shares.

"At least three years... no, within five years, it is estimated that not many people will be optimistic about the instant messaging software I invested heavily in.Social networking, which is a stronger demand than shopping, search, leisure and entertainment, is too obscure and too difficult to show its value. 』

Human beings are highly social creatures. The need and behavior of socializing are integrated into all aspects of life. Although it is usually indifferent, once it shows its power, it is the time to tell the winner.

Social networking can provide massive traffic, while e-commerce’s demand for traffic is never-ending.

In the process of Internet development, there are two eternal keys, obtaining traffic and monetizing traffic.

Jin Shang saw the ending of the previous life, that is, everything has become a financial digital game. At the end of the so-called model innovation, only lending and investment with the highest profit-making efficiency will become the biggest winners.

In this life, Jin Shang wants to see if different timelines, development process and end will be different.

The four of them chatted for a while in the small restaurant, and Sun Daqi was going to change places to continue having fun, but Jin Shang found an excuse and declined.

Ten minutes later, Li Xuan appeared in the parking lot and knocked on the car window.

"Coming? I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"Didn't you say no to drinking? Look at you..."

"Don't worry, I'm pretending! Actually I'm not drunk, I just don't want to participate in the nightlife of middle-aged men. After a busy day, I want to go back and rest early..."

Young, able to carry it, and protected by the "golden finger" power, it is actually very safe, and it is not a big problem to drive home.

It's just that it's not beautiful to be caught with a drunken appearance.

Started the car a bit jerky, drove out of the parking lot, and got on the main road. The speed picked up. Looking at the lights flying backwards outside the window, Jin Shang let out a mouthful of alcohol, relieved the pressure on his chest and abdomen, and then said leisurely :

"Just now, I went the wrong way."

"Hey, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"It doesn't matter, it won't take much time to go around a little farther."

"Looking at you, isn't it a little rough today?"

"Not really, just a little disappointed. I thought I was number one in the industry, but..."

The idols of young people, the mysterious talents in the eyes of fans, the big-mouthed academic masters, and all kinds of personality designs, in the eyes of real elites, they don't actually have much sense of existence.

"It's like sports. Others are playing football, sprinting, swimming, racing, boxing and tennis. If you don't compete for these, you can turn around and win all the table tennis and badminton championships. No one thinks you are very good. I In fact, I don’t really look down on the business prospects of e-mail, office software, browsers and messy edge systems, but it doesn’t prevent them from becoming the favorites of the industry elite...”
