this man is not calm

Chapter 49 Technical Reserve

There is no shortage of smart people in this world. The business opportunities that Jin Shang can see must be followed by other interested people.

E-mail is nothing new and has been around for years.

Leaving aside the status quo in the past, since the computer system began to use the graphical user system, which greatly reduced the difficulty of operation, coupled with the increasingly mature development of browsers, more and more people in the industry began to work hard to explore the opportunities.

System service providers and browser manufacturers have fought openly and secretly for several times in order to compete for the right to control Internet users' access to the Internet. A larger-scale commercial war is imminent.

This time it's not a trial to the end, but a life-and-death battle.For browser manufacturers, if they lose, the end will be miserable, either being incorporated or disappearing.

In addition to the most eye-catching battle for control of the browser, there are a series of other seemingly insignificant and important areas.

Email is one of them.

In the past, it was a tool used by professionals, but now ordinary netizens also have the opportunity to easily access the "e-post office" system through a browser, register an account and send and receive emails, without the need for a high level of knowledge reserve and necessary tools.

This is the convenience brought by the development of science and technology. Only by following this trend can we go more smoothly.

For the portal website that will be launched soon, how to attract the attention of netizens is the most important thing.Nowadays, most Internet users in China are professional scientific researchers, technology enthusiasts and white-collar elites, and the need to send and receive emails is quite urgent.

and so……

"Can you recommend it for me? I think there is still room for cooperation in this regard."

Yang Qi was taken aback for a moment when he heard the words, and immediately realized, he laughed and said:

"Of course. The circle of this industry is so big. There are not many talented people who are willing to invest time and energy. It is not a bad thing to communicate more. I have a question. When we first came to the door, Xiaojin always planned to be in this industry. Have you plowed deeply?"

"That's right!"

There is nothing to hide, Jin Shang graciously admitted,

"Even if there is no Sanshui Network, I will find someone to develop the portal website. Of course, there are talents like Yang Gong who will come to my door. I wish for it."

"No wonder, I have always felt that President Xiao Jin has a clearer understanding of the planned route, unlike other colleagues who are mostly groping around and can't find a way out. Without careful consideration, this step cannot be achieved. I was not very enthusiastic when we first met, probably because I was not very optimistic about the Yellow Pages business, I should have thought of it earlier..."

While talking, Yang Qi laughed at himself,
"Mr. Sun and I actually don't know how to go in the future, so we had to explore and deal with it flexibly. I will deal with disputes and technical problems in the industry. While developing the market, Mr. Sun dealt with people from top to bottom. Seek inspiration."

"Isn't Boss Sun active in foreign propaganda and economic and trade departments? If you can't find the direction, follow the policy direction, and you will never go too far wrong."

"We also think the same way. Doing business is about following the trend. Although I am a technical person, I have learned a lot from Mr. Sun's ups and downs."

The topic is deep and familiar, Yang Qi doesn't seem to be as reticent as usual, and he has entered the comfort zone of communication, and he talks a lot.

"By the way, Mr. Jin, when are you free? I'll introduce a few friends to meet..."

"Okay! But I may not be free recently, as you know, I have more than just Internet cafes and portals..."

Jin Shang happily agreed,

"The team still has three rounds to enter the summer break, spending money on signings, repairing the stadium, and maintaining the turf; the safety test with the School of Computer Science must be watched. Although the strength is weak, it should not be ignored, and it cannot be left; in two days we have to go The school participated in the graduation ceremony and discussed school-enterprise cooperation..."

Counting with my fingers, I haven't finished talking, there are only a few days free this month.

Jin Shang is free, and the others may not be taking a break, so it's really hard to determine the time.

"How about it, it looks like it's mid-August, you're almost busy with important things, so let's spare a day for a little gathering?"

"Yes. Everyone is from a technical background. They are very dull and speak very directly. Xiao Jin will take care of you when the time comes."

Next, the two discussed the technical prospects, the development trend of programming languages, the difficulties in developing e-mail, etc., and returned to the office after more than an hour.

After looking through the confirmation document that Liu Yanqing handed over, after finding nothing wrong, Jin Shang signed his name and stamped the official seal, and this time the in-depth technical cooperation between the two parties has come to a successful conclusion.

Stretching out his hand and shaking Yang Qi, Jin Shang said with a smile:

"Thank you for your company's technical support, and my company's employees have benefited a lot."

"Happy cooperation!"

Declining the official dinner proposed by Jin Shang, Yang Qi left in a hurry with his assistant, it is said that he was rushing to another partner to negotiate technology licensing matters.

"Technicians are born to work hard, especially programmers."

Jin Shang whispered with emotion,

"Development is fast and technology changes frequently, so we must always stay focused and keep learning. When people reach middle age, their energy and body cannot keep up. If they are young, it is very dangerous."

While tidying up, Huang Yiyi echoed:

"Mr. Xiao Jin is also new to the Internet industry, so he has a very thorough understanding. Many people can't tell which industry has a future and which industry is about to fade away."

"It's simple."

After finishing the matter, Jin Shang replied with a very relaxed mind,

"Looking at the university courses, you can understand which year the textbooks are used. Some are half a century ago and have not been updated for decades, which means that there has been little development in such a long time; some were written in the past two years. See It’s a bit outdated, and this type of major is obviously a sunrise industry. Literature and history is a little bit stronger, and science and engineering are particularly outstanding.”

The former is more typical of shipbuilding. The last major change was welding instead of riveting. Since then, there has been no substantial improvement in half a century. If it is not for electromechanical equipment, power systems, satellite navigation, etc., which can still touch the edge of the new era, it is almost impossible. look at;

The latter is represented by computers. In the past, if you don’t keep up with the trend for three years, you will fall behind. In the future, if you don’t study for three months, you may have no place in the industry.After the age of 35, the learning ability cannot keep up, the body cannot survive, and has not mastered irreplaceable key technologies. In the ever-changing "code farmer" circle, the competitiveness of the workplace may not be as good as that of migrant workers.

Listening to the boss's eloquent talk, which seemed to be a joke, but after thinking about it carefully, she really felt that it made some sense. After tidying up the meeting room, Huang Yiyi drank tea and looked at the postman's delivery not long ago. The company express mail that came said:
"President Xiao Jin seems to have a very keen and forward-looking vision for grasping the overall situation. No wonder he can graduate with a master's degree and create a career."

"It's too early to talk about my career. It's just getting better. There's still a long way to go!"

Jin Shang, who was somewhat self-aware, suddenly changed the subject and asked,

"These... most of them are letters sent by readers of "Miscellaneous Talk". Do you need someone to reply to show your gratitude! Wait, this won't work..."

Before Huang Yiyi could answer, Jin Shang overthrew this idea himself.

"It consumes too much manpower and material resources, and there is a problem with timeliness. How about this, open a dynamic update of readers' replies in the "Friends Miscellaneous Talk" section under the "Women's Care" column of the website..."

On average, there are dozens or hundreds of letters from enthusiastic readers a day, and there may be more in the future. It is not an easy task to read and reply one by one.

Arranging full-time personnel to deal with it is a trivial matter, and it doesn't cost a lot of money. The key is that the effect may not be good.

In the online reply area, it is impossible to display every letter, select a suitable part and reply solemnly, hang it on the portal website, and then advertise in the next issue of newspapers and magazines, so that readers who are looking forward to reply Let's go check it out.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. Jin Shang paced back and forth, and continued to add if he realized something:
"Add two pages of letters from readers and the essence of the editor's reply to the end page of "Miscellaneous Talk", and let everyone enjoy the more content online. Sister Yiyi, write it down and let Editor Wang arrange it. It won't take much time, but it can be brought closer. The distance from the readers can also indirectly promote the portal..."

"it is good!"

After getting used to Jin Shang's inspiration, the intern secretary who thought it was a one-off took out a notepad, wrote it down solemnly, and emphasized it to show that it should be done as soon as possible, and then asked with some doubts,
"Regarding the assessment indicators of the website, President Xiao Jin mentioned the concept of article response popularity, but the upcoming 'Northern United Online' does not have this function. Is it missing?"

"No, it is temporarily reserved as a technical and creative reserve."

While speaking, Jin Shang shook the stack of envelopes in his hand, and said very firmly,
"Offline newspapers and magazines, enthusiastic readers write to us to communicate with us, and online news will definitely have this demand. It will be a matter of time to add reply and discussion functions. The problem is that in the next few months, 'Northern United Online' will be the domestic It is a unique portal website, as long as the server is not shut down, netizens will definitely come here. However, once other websites compete or even directly copy our page, I will release the prepared functions to keep it fresh..."

It is more important to provide better services for netizens by fighting copyright lawsuits and attracting eyeballs.

Even if such a small advantage can only be maintained for two or three months, it is very precious to entrepreneurs who are fighting desperately in the same subdivision track in the Internet industry. And the underground, and even decided life and death.

In the fast-paced "hand-to-hand" competition of Internet companies, verbal battles are useless. Many debates in this industry involve new emerging things, which may not be regulated in detail in the law, so a quick verdict cannot be pronounced.

In many cases, time is more important than winning or losing. Winning the lawsuit and bankrupting the company is not a joke in this business, but a reality.

"Competition in the Internet industry is a long marathon competition, not a [-]-meter sprint that requires amazing explosive power. You must grasp the rhythm and don't play all your cards at once."

Replies to posts, emails, chat rooms, celebrity advertisements and instant messaging boosts, and even release the big killer of social media.

In order to maintain the aura of the number one portal in the country and become a fashion sought after by young netizens, Jin Shang even made preparations for the company's website platform by using the gimmick of a genius boy transforming into an entrepreneur himself by the founder himself.

Compared with the operations of those reckless heroes in the IT industry who built up their reputation in the previous life, what Jin Shang has to do is not worth mentioning.

I didn't pretend to be a female account to fool netizens to chat and kill time, and I didn't plan to dress up as a female at the annual meeting to attract attention, and I didn't want to stir up scandals with female celebrities to make headlines.

Pretending to be a literary youth, and emphasizing the talents and talents every now and then, is already very restrained.

Can't compare with Gan Luo who was 12-year-old Shangqing of the Qin State, and can't be compared with Huo Qubing, the God of War who was named the champion. His master's degree is also very powerful. Put it on firmly.

Of course, it's not there yet.

All over the country, there are only hundreds of thousands of Internet users. Even if most of them are fans of Jinxi Culture, it is impossible to form a stable network of relationships, and the moat cannot be dug.

After understanding her boss's thoughts, Huang Yiyi suddenly realized and replied:

"That is to say, the online strategy at this stage is to stabilize one's own position, not to seek an absolute advantage for the time being, and to secretly suppress competitors is enough?"

"Yes! Now is not the time to draw swords and kill each other. The influence of the Jinxi Cultural family is still too weak. We need more peers to come in and make the cake of the Internet industry bigger..."

In another three to five years, it will be the best time to kill each other, blood flow into rivers, dye this blue sea into a red sea, turn into a giant crocodile, devour the loser's territory, and dominate one side.

After discussing business affairs, before Huang Yiyi was about to leave, she suddenly asked Jin Shang:

"I almost forgot, Mr. Jin and Mr. Yang discussed the development of e-mail today, how is it?"

"There is a small technical problem, but it's not a big one. The difficulty lies in how to win the trust of users..."

Jin Shang replied somewhat vaguely,

"E-mail is different from portal websites, and has higher requirements for stability and security. After all, it involves personal privacy and even commercial secrets. Without a mature and reliable system, there will be endless troubles."

Can a novice boss who has taught himself for a few months, two programmers with half a barrel of water, and several unreliable assistants develop a usable e-mail?
May be!

However, it is still impossible for Jin to devote all his energy to research and development, or to do it himself.

This is not what an entrepreneurial boss at the helm should do. If you spend all day writing code, can the company manage it?

Regardless of the severity, it is not advisable to lose the big because of the small.

"Then... are you ready to give up?"

"No, continue, but I'm not going to do it myself. If you don't have enough research and development capabilities, you should actively seek external help. Cooperation with the School of Computer Science is a way. There are also many excellent projects in the society. You can buy them with money, saving time and effort. If It would be even better if we could recruit a few great talents.”

The Internet is a big cake, and it is impossible for Jinshang to take it all, even if he has a golden finger and the foresight of a traveler.It's okay to grasp the key points and leave the corners to others. Maybe you can win over a few industry allies, which can come in handy when needed.
