this man is not calm

Chapter 484 Division of Tasks
At present, the biggest contribution to Jinxi Mall's revenue is from white goods, which have a high unit price. Relying on better door-to-door service and after-sales service, it maintains a decent gross profit. The operating losses of the consumer electronics sector, which is mainly composed of mobile phones, game consoles and PC computer complete machines and accessories, second-hand assembly and MP3, have also begun to shrink.

The main orders are still ready-made clothes, books, film and television discs, etc. The cost of the goods is low, they are easy to mail, and the return rate is not high at present. The growth rate is so-so, and it is the most stable link.

The products with the highest profit margins are infant formula, eco-friendly diapers and early childhood education products, and the growth rates are also exaggerated, especially dairy products, which are really profitable.

Other items such as sanitary napkins, cosmetics, women's shoes and daily necessities are also okay. During the weekly group purchases or discount promotions, many users who are accustomed to online shopping place orders to buy a lot at a time, and the accumulation of small amounts can be considerable.

Infant formula and other similar consumer products, which were considered by Jin Shang as its main product in the early days and even hoped to earn foreign exchange, are actually difficult to export abroad.

At first Jin Shang didn't quite understand, but after investigating, he suddenly realized that wealthy countries in Europe and the United States consume a lot of materials, but they are also major producers of dairy products. The market is very stable, and it is difficult for outsiders to squeeze in.

Moreover, this matter more or less involves security strategy, and it is difficult for foreign investors to get involved.

Another frustrating reason is that most of the world's populous countries and countries with high birth rates are located in Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia. The economies in these places are not developed enough, and most people are self-sufficient in having children. The few wealthy families cannot consume too much milk powder at all.

There are many births every year and great potential for development. The economy has improved a bit in recent years, and people have money in their hands. More people are willing to provide a better growth environment for their children. Those who meet these conditions will really be ours.

No wonder foreign counterparts are trying every means to squeeze in. In a market environment with a stable structure, any growth point is worth investing in.

The dairy products produced by Jinxi Shopping Mall and the food company owned by my second uncle Zhang Hua can be marketed nationwide, which is also due to the right time, place and people.

It is not easy to transform a local brand into a large company known nationwide. Fortunately, these few years provide a rare opportunity.

It is precisely because of such conditions that Jin Shang and Zhang Hua's plan to invest in the north has attracted special attention in the local area.

If it weren't for his second uncle's influence in the local area, Jin Shang had no intention of spending money at this time. The business environment in the north is worse than that in the south after all. Without the support of the local bosses, it would be impossible to make money.

Some time ago, Jin Shang planned to go to the north again and escape the heat of the summer, but he was delayed due to some trivial matters.

Fortunately, it is not a big deal and does not affect the progress of the work. According to the news from my second uncle, it is going smoothly. It is not that we need help from others, but that the local area is in great need of investment.

Of course, no matter what the result is, we need to be cautious. In places far away from the capital, control is too poor. If something really happens, even finding Lao Huang may not be of any help.

In a place where the emperor is far away, the old man who has been bossing around in the capital for most of his life may not be intimidated. On the contrary, the big shots who are seen every day will more or less give face to them.

How to do it specifically depends on the ability of his second uncle Zhang Hua, and it also tests Jin Shang's own judgment. Fortunately, the time traveler holding the "Golden Broom" can generally avoid major mistakes in decision-making.

Most of the hot summer passed in dull days. At the end of August, as the school season was approaching, various business entities under Jinxi Culture started promotions.

The price of a laptop computer with “double discounts” is less than 8,000 yuan after using the full discount. It is really too cheap. Families with better off are still willing to pay for it for their children.

The era when student computers, which are a must-have for prospective college students, are popular has not yet arrived, but more people are buying PCs or game consoles as rewards for academic progress or as pre-incentives. Mobile phones costing thousands of dollars are not affordable for immature children, but it is still affordable to equip children who go to school or work far away from home with a mobile phone.

With multiple advantages, the business of Jinxi Mall, offline stores, and even second-hand trading malls is obviously much better.

The profit may not be high, but the transaction volume has increased, which is also a good thing. Jinxi Payment, which has obtained the third-party payment license (pilot) qualification, already has many ways to generate income using the funds deposited by prepaid payments.

As revenue from the financial sector continues to rise, offsetting the operating expenses of physical businesses and e-commerce, the company's cash flow pressure has been alleviated a lot. Coupled with the addition of more than 6 billion in mortgage loans, even if the next round of financing is not carried out, there is no need to worry about the second half of the year.

As for next year, we’ll talk about it later.

At the end of the year, there will be another round of three-year lease auctions in the used car trading market and the collective market, which can bring in billions of yuan. After deducting labor expenses and capital costs, there may even be a slight surplus.

After getting through the mid-year financial pressure smoothly, Jin Shang estimated his personal debts. The expenses for buying a private jet, several private cars and a small yacht were not large, but the "Eclipse" was too expensive.

Even so, Jin Shang did not regret it. If he earned money and did not use it, what was the difference between that and working for nothing?
Whether it is Jin Shang or Li Xuan, their demands for external things are not high. They are not keen on luxury cars and luxury goods, but they are willing to spend money on things they are interested in.

In the words of his fiancée, as long as Jin Shang doesn't squander his family fortune to the point of having no food or clothing, it will be fine. No matter what, it won't get to that point.
-
In the small conference room of Jinxi Culture Headquarters, the technical briefing and communication meeting chaired by Yang Qi had been going on for a long time and only came to a close near noon.

Most of the participants left to have lunch or take a break. Only Yang Qi, Yin Muye, Liu Yanqing and Yin Feiyang, as well as Huang Yiyi who was in charge of taking notes and Li Rong who took the time to pour tea, remained in the conference room.

"Xiao Yin has been working for a while. How do you feel?"

"Fortunately, it's better than expected..."

After considering the wording, as a fresh graduate in the workplace, I decided to accept Jin Shang's invitation to join the company. After nearly three months, I have learned a lot and can barely get started.
"The hardware is not very strong, but it is really comprehensive, with many advanced invention patents. Although it is still a long way from commercial use, it is really thoughtful and the research and development results are really amazing. As for the software, there is Mr. Yang who is good at planning, and Team Leaders Liu and Yin who are good at practical work. It is quite stable..."

Liu Yanqing, who returned to work after getting married, looked a little better than before. She was in high spirits and grinned happily:
"We have been dealing with each other for several years. There is no need to be too cautious. There is no need to flatter us..."

After a pause, he added with a hint of self-mockery:
"Xiao Yin and I are not from professional backgrounds. We are OK at general discussions, but we are not good at deep research. Only Director Yang and the people he recruited, as well as the people in the system software development and operation and maintenance department of the merger and acquisition, can help. Mathematics and algorithms, if you don't know them, you don't know them. Programming... is a craft. The threshold is not low, but it is not particularly high either. If we really want to make achievements, we still need top students like Xiao Yin to take the lead..."

Product design and management are certainly important, but without the help of truly top elites to implement them, sooner or later you will be exposed. This industry is developing too fast. If you cannot keep up with the most cutting-edge technology in a year or two, you may be eliminated, let alone three to five years.

Yang Qi, who has the most experience, encouraged:
"I'll leave the network security to you. These two software applications, Jinxi Antivirus and Jinxi Computer Manager, are directly connected to the underlying system and closely related to the company's 'PC Desktop Conquest Plan'. How to seize resources plays a huge role..."

"I understand. President Jin has told me a lot." It is unimaginable that a company that claims to be an Internet technology company has weak network security capabilities. With the operation of Jinxi Culture's data centers, including e-mail, online game platforms, instant messaging, PHS consultation and exchange, Jinxi Music, Jinxi Video, Bai Ze system, Jinxi browser and comprehensive portal websites, once they are breached, the losses will be unimaginable.

"Xiao Yin, don't be too stressed. Network security is not just a software issue. Hardware development also needs to be coordinated."

Currently, most computer viruses on the Internet, such as flood attacks, do not have high technical content. In fact, they are "turtle punches" that exert extreme pressure and cause software and hardware to crash. When protection software is unable to cope with the situation, hardware protection becomes the top priority.

In fact, when Yin Muye first joined the company, he thought he would be responsible for Jinxi Chat and Jinxi Game business. After all, he was the main programmer who actually participated in the development. Especially for the former, he was personally responsible for the first version of the software and was very familiar with it.

Although there were some unexpected things, the impact was not significant. It could be said that software security, antivirus software and system protection could better demonstrate Yin Muye's strength.

Huang Yiyi checked the minutes of the meeting and found nothing wrong. She closed the notebook and said calmly:

"Recently, the data center is under a lot of pressure. There are more and more cheats for "Fengshen", which has the largest number of users. It is very difficult to ban them using remote technology. We need to think of a solution from the server side, which is also a part of network security. In fact... another sister game "Lich War" that is similar to the previous one has fewer users, but it also has big problems..."

The two games were released one after the other. The former is more commercially oriented, while the latter has tried many groundbreaking technologies, so its gameplay is slightly worse and its popularity is quite different, which is understandable.

"The problem of online games is easy to solve. Just sort out the data, pick out the abnormal ones, and focus on monitoring them. Basically, they can't escape."

Yin Muye answered very confidently. Huang Yiyi shook her head slightly and said:
"We should be prepared for the worst. As the number of users increases, it will be difficult to manage. Not only this, but also the Jinxi chat client and many third-party plug-ins..."

"I heard about this. President Jin emphasized this and is very concerned about it."

When he arrived at the area he was responsible for, Yin Feiyang said:

"Currently, only a very small number of users use enhanced functions, ad removal, diversified automatic replies, and keystroke wizards to grab group-buying coupons, which affect the user experience, but it is not all bad. For example, ad removal, simplified version, do not disturb, and status adjustment can all be used as one of the value-added services for VIP customers."

The functions of the plug-in are basically those that the original program does not have. If the impact is not significant and it helps to increase the number of users, you can also "borrow" from the plug-in and improve your own program.

but……

"If it's just this level, President Jin won't focus on it. What if one day, external plug-in skins intercept data information and directly 'transfer' social relationships, friend circles and contact information to the plug-in, and then add their own value-added services? What should we do?"

"That……"

Everyone is an expert and may not think it is urgent at first, but Huang Yiyi's words instantly wake everyone up.

Jinxi Chat and Fetion have been competing openly and secretly for almost three years. What are they fighting for?
user?

Good looking data?
Or additional value-added services?
At this point, everyone can almost appreciate Jin Shang's foresight.

Social networking, relationship chains, friend circles and the resulting user stickiness.

If the friend list and circle of friends of Jinxi Chat are really allowed to be "copied" by the plug-in, it will not only be a matter of laying eggs by borrowing chickens, but will directly help hatch a direct competitor.

"This is a crisis of life and death. The fight will not stop until one dies!"

After a brief thought, Liu Yanqing said very seriously:
"The people in this room are basically the technical backbone of the company and will be its core in the future. It seems we need to act quickly and reach a consensus."

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"

Yang Qi agreed with approval,

"Many plug-ins are not satisfied with just improving the user experience, but are on the verge of breaking the law. As long as it's not too extreme, the company will turn a blind eye, but... there must be a 'red line' awareness, and we will fight to the death if it crosses the line."

"As it should be. Not only Jinxi Chat, but also online games and the platform itself are the focus of protection. Then there are Jinxi Payment and Jinxi Mall, which are directly related to money and goods. Once something goes wrong, a lot of people will be affected, and they will be all over the country..."

If we really make a fool of ourselves in front of users across the country, it will probably take many years to restore trust.

"Xiao Yin's task is not easy, but you can't just carry it all by yourself. The company does lack technicians, but we can temporarily allocate some manpower to complete the most urgent tasks first, then the most important ones and those arranged by President Jin, and finally other matters."

"it is good!"

Yin Muye, who was relatively taciturn and a little shy, agreed readily.

Originally, he wanted to partner with Li Rong, who had joined the company at the same time, but the latter was transferred to assist the search engine development team personally directed by Director Yang.

The tasks there are also very heavy. I don’t know how many programmers will go bald just by sorting an algorithm.

Not only that, the resistive screen testing machine developed by the hardware team is nearing completion, but the compatible mobile phone system has not yet been completed. Yang Qi, who has received the task, wishes he could use it in one day as if it were three days.
