this man is not calm

Chapter 515 is approaching
The demand for online social networking is almost the strongest in the Internet era. Even if the suffix "one of" is added, there will be no more than three that can be compared with it.

In the mainstream field of instant messaging, it is almost impossible for a "competitive battle" to occur in a market above a certain scale. Either one company's software will "dominate the world", or a "28 division" situation will be formed after full competition.

Ultimately, it is the "social chain", "circle of friends" and "circle culture" that are at work. As far as we can see, among the new-age IT applications that have been born, social software... especially instant messaging applications, are almost the segment with the most exaggerated first-mover advantage.

If your friends are all using it but you are not, then it is not just a question of whether it is fashionable or trendy. If you cannot contact the people you want to communicate with when you need it, what is the use of you?
Naturally, the user stickiness of instant messaging software is stronger than one can imagine. Once users develop a habit of using it and the number of users increases, there will be no room for latecomers.

Relying on the application software matrix and flexible and user-friendly operation methods, Jinxi Chat has gradually reversed its slightly weaker situation in the competition with Fetion. Currently, there are only two "duos" playing the leading role in the mainstream market, and the other three or two "small fish" are not a big deal.

In terms of market share, Jinxi Chat has accounted for nearly 70%, which is very close to a complete victory. However, due to the weak Internet user interface, Fetion still accounts for more than 60% of the new netizens and users.

Around the millennium when the IT industry was developing rapidly, it was difficult to determine the winner of the tug-of-war between the two in the short term.

Judging from its development path over the past two years, Fetion has a powerful backstage, deep background, and plenty of trump cards, but it is big but not strong, and is slow to respond to market trends. It can only passively "take a beating", tending towards a spiral of "chronic death".

But if we replace it with a team with strong execution capabilities, or let professional private entrepreneurs take over, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win the chat today and tonight.

Three years is not a short time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the advantages and disadvantages between Fetion and Jinxi Chat.

Jin Shang's old competitor, the founder of Wenhua Online and Jinghua Mall, and the partner of his second uncle Mei Yingnian - Tan Qian, the son of Tan Mingli, the owner of a well-known domestic hotel chain, after failing to get in touch with Feng Jinxi, tried hard for a long time and won over a group of partners. He finally persuaded the management of Fetion to accept the suggestion of strategic investment and shareholding, and the company is about to be transformed from a state-owned enterprise-led company to a joint-stock company.

The process has been almost completed and will be officially implemented after the new year. A new operation team will soon take office and start all-round competition with Jinxi Chat.

He even tried to poach the core members of Jinxi Chat, but failed.

Although the father and son of the Tan family are partners of partners and have close ties with many of Jinxi Culture's businesses, and in the business development roadmap, there are many cases of joining forces to deal with market crises and advance and retreat together. However, in the Internet, an emerging field that is gradually showing great value, it is not surprising that they directly compete.

After getting the upper hand in advance, Jin Shang did not try to stop it. He couldn't stop it anyway. It is better to say that the market is developing rapidly, and powerful competitors will emerge sooner or later. It is not convincing without a brutal "fierce battle" to defeat many strong opponents and let the blood irrigate the fertile soil.

How to make industry peers recognize the dominant position of Jinxi Chat is not enough just by market share. Without a few well-known "victims of death" as sacrifices, there will always be people who are not afraid of death and want to give it a try.

During the social gathering after the New Year's Eve Gala, Jin Shang and the father and son of the Tan family also met and exchanged a few words, but did not say anything of value in detail.

I don't have any concerns, but... since we are in a head-on competition, I will have to follow the rules of the underworld. I have to accept the defeat and don't blame Jin Shang for being ruthless.
-
After the Little New Year, the week leading up to New Year’s Eve is basically in holiday mode. People are distracted and can’t do anything.

Except for those positions that require staff to be on duty, Jinxi Culture will not force overtime in most cases, and those who are supposed to go home for the New Year will be let go.

Even Jinxi Mall, a branch of the company that it relies on very much, only retained warehouse management and online order taking, and logistics and delivery were basically stagnant. On this day of family happiness, consumption of white goods, consumer electronics, and alcoholic beverages skyrocketed, and consumption of maternal and child products, stationery, books, and textiles and clothing also climbed steadily.

As for online products, on the day of the Spring Festival Gala on the eve of the Chinese New Year, the Xiaolingtong SMS service generated a revenue of 100 million yuan, which cannot be compared with the "miracle" of the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve last year. But since it has the word "small" in it, naturally there is no expectation of the same traffic as New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival.

Excluding the directly related commercial value, holding a small New Year's Eve celebration party not only did not lose money, but actually made more than 30 million yuan.

After finally discussing it and obtaining the opinions of our partners, we decided to donate the money directly to the foundation for aiding out-of-school children and left-behind children. This amount of money is not too much, but not too little either. It is just the right amount for charity and all parties are very satisfied.

In the next few days, Jin Shang and several management members took time out to visit the employees who were still working on the front lines in various company departments, send their condolences and blessings, and give out some gifts and bonuses. The gifts were not much, but they warmed people's hearts.

After finishing their busy work, Jin Shang and his family did not stay at home in this cold winter, but took a plane to Nanyang for vacation.

The sun, the beach, the yachts and the delicious food brought laughter and joy.

The Eclipse ultra-luxury yacht, which has been delivered for more than two months, is finally put to use.

After three years of hard work in starting a business and making so much money, most of it was invested in this ship. This is not the company's profit, but Jin Shang's personal earnings.

After leaving the cold of the north and arriving at the warm island, my grandmother Xian Guizhen wanted to try skydiving and paragliding, and it took a lot of persuasion to dissuade her from this whim.

It would be fine to play with it when you are young, but you are nearly 70 years old and still doing so much. It is such a dangerous sport that young people don’t dare to play it casually, let alone older people.

However, the idea of ​​riding a jet ski could not be rejected.

As for Xiao Jinfeng, he prefers to go underwater to watch fish in a submarine (submersible).

Li Xuan and Jin Shang preferred to bask in the sun and drink some cold drinks on the boat, which was really comfortable.

"Your ship... is really arrogant. It is larger than an ordinary cruiser, with a displacement of more than 13,000 tons and a length of nearly 170 meters. It cost nearly 2.6 billion to put it into full use. The cost has broken the global record for luxury yachts."

"Records are meant to be broken. I don't think they will last for many years."

"You're obviously not a flamboyant person in private, so why is it so exaggerated to build a yacht?"

"It works great! Look, isn't everyone having a great time?"

"That's it?"

"if not?"

Jin Shang closed his eyes slightly, turned over to let the other side get more exposure to the sun, and responded lazily,
"After making money, the first thing I should do is to make myself and my family live comfortably and have fun. As for the rest... I can think about it later. Anyway, I can afford it."

As the saying goes, "cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world", satisfy yourself, take care of your family, take care of the country, and travel the world, the order cannot be messed up. At this point, Jin Shang suddenly remembered something, and then he took out his digital camera, took a selfie, and then posted a dynamic with a "brick computer" (tablet).

Since the launch of weblog, in addition to the traffic from the Beijing Student Union BBS forum, it has basically relied on spontaneous traffic to develop. In the beginning, it was just people I knew, and gradually more and more people came, and the number of users began to "split", especially with the celebrity effect. The number of daily active users is approaching 800,000, and it has become an interactive social website with some influence.

As Jin Shang updated his status, a series of acquaintances began to comment and give feedback.

Jin Shang did not look at it carefully, but turned off the computer and continued to doze off lazily to kill time. He said to his fiancée Li Xuan slowly:

"Keeping a low profile and developing quietly is certainly a good strategy, but Jinxi Culture has grown into a behemoth. Anyone who is not blind can see the 'elephant' in front of them. They are no longer 'little mice' hiding in the bushes, pretending to be pigs to eat tigers... If you pretend for too long, you will really become a pig and be targeted by tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves."

Showing your strength appropriately can also intimidate the smaller characters who secretly want to get their hands on something. Even if it may attract the covetousness of the real "big sharks", it is better than being harassed frequently.

Powerful "predators" are usually not hungry, or not very greedy, so they will pay more or less attention to their eating manners.

As long as it is fair competition, Jin Shang is not afraid. Even if it is the attention from outside the market, he does not need to be afraid. If he really cannot resist it, Huang Zhengkuo will protect him.

Even though the old guy looks sick, he can probably live for many more years. If nothing unexpected happens, a hundred years is not his limit.

The closer he gets to the end of his life, the more powerful his "personal golden finger" is. The rest is not worth mentioning, but in terms of prolonging life, it is really too powerful.

"The spotlight will expose you to the elements. Even those who want to take advantage of others will be more cautious and will not dare to play tricks openly."

"Only petty thieves would act in secret. The truly powerful ones would take everything openly and legitimately, obtaining the greatest benefits in a reasonable and legal manner. There is nothing wrong with them, and they even make people grateful to them."

With a disdainful curl of his lips, Jin Shang said leisurely,
“Creating value and distributing value are two different lines, and this is the key. If I can create value while also completing… assisting in completing the assigned tasks, then in terms of the greater good, I will be as stable as a rock.”

"Profits, taxes and employment, it's so mysterious."

Many seemingly lofty rhetoric and theories often change their appearance and appear around us openly.

In his position, seek his own government!
As a private entrepreneur and an outstanding young person, you don't need to think too much. Just "play" your "role" well and you'll be considered qualified. If you can do more, for example, promote the upgrading of related industries, achieve breakthroughs in key technology fields, earn foreign exchange through exports, and fill domestic gaps, that would be even better. You can get good or even excellent evaluations.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What else do you want to prepare for the wedding next month?"

March 25th, the eighth day of the first lunar month, is a good day for getting married, setting up the bed, holding the coming-of-age ceremony, and accepting a son-in-law. It is a big day for Jin Shang and Li Xuan.

Nowadays, many red tapes are no longer welcomed by young people. Working hard to entertain friends and family, and the so-called beautiful scenery, are no longer novel.

Fortunately, Jin Shang is rich, a wealthy man. He can pay someone to do all the troublesome things for him. He has an experienced housekeeper to manage the household business, so he doesn't have to hurt himself with trivial matters.

"It has come to this, what else do we have to do? When the time comes, we can just be happy, dress up beautifully, look handsome, go through the motions, say hello to our relatives and friends, and toast with a glass of wine."

"Do you have any special customs over there... Yunmeng?"

"Wedding pranks? Not that much trouble! Actually... there are some, but no one should embarrass us."

In essence, wedding pranks are a part of traditional wedding customs. They are used to ward off evil spirits and disasters through play, or to test the courage of the groom or the character of the bride. It has a history of nearly two thousand years, and even though there are some objections, it has been passed down. Naturally, there is a reason for its existence.

"In Yunmeng, there are only brothers and sisters. Children will get some grass fruits or thorny fruits and throw them on your head, or rub shoe polish on your face. They just do it for fun, not for real. When I was a kid, a relative of mine got married, and the children made too much noise and made the shy groom cry..."

"Are you that naughty little guy?"

"Nonsense, I'm just a nobody, I was the one who helped, it wasn't me who did it."

It's almost the 21st century, and many customs have lost their original value, but are still passed down in some form. Everyone just goes through the motions and treats it as a joke. The vulgar wedding pranks that really cause problems are particularly hated by both the bride and groom, no matter if they are for real.

"That's good. Even if it's a little excessive, I can tolerate it!"

"can you?"

"Don't underestimate me. Even though I'm a little arrogant and out of touch with reality, I can still handle some unhappy things."

It's not a matter of principle. My small sacrifice can make my relatives and friends laugh, so it's harmless.

"It's not easy traveling so far! Generally speaking, for long-distance weddings, the couple will hold their own wedding banquets and pick up the bride a few days apart."

"There's a private jet for pick-up, it's all settled."

What's a luxury car pick-up?
A luxury private jet is not bad either. It is more than enough for a round trip in a day.

It's just a little bit rushed!
Considering the distance between Yunmeng and the capital, some minor shortcomings are not unacceptable.

After buying the 6,000-square-meter villa, I spent a long time renovating and maintaining it, and it is finally time to put it to use.
