Coquettish Rebirth

"No, it's sold." Jia Hongjian said with a smile, "Actually, that company was acquired in 93, that is, a backdoor listing. A stronger company aimed at our weaker listing. Enterprise, so they chose to acquire us, let us become a subsidiary of them, and then raised funds. And my father was fired after the acquisition, so our family had to start a business..."

After hearing this, Olson realized that the topic of entrepreneurship happened to be discussed, so she led her to ask about it. After all, she was entrusted with making Jia Hongjian's image more friendly to the people, so that the common people would not be able to hate him. , then take out his entrepreneurial history and share it with the common people, which will gradually make the common people think of him as an acquaintance, and it will not be easy to be so hostile!After all, compared with a real person and a simple "Chinese" label, the latter is more likely to be misled and hostile.

When the question was asked about how to start a business, the audience at the scene became even more into the state!Everyone loves entrepreneurial experience, let alone starting a business from scratch!At this time, I heard Jia Hongjian say: "Starting a business is also very simple. Our family bought the stock of that company after my father left the job...then the stock swelled for a while and made a profit of about 4 US dollars. With the addition of our family’s savings, etc., we finally got together a capital of about 4 U.S. dollars. At that time, a group of Chinese long-distance runners got good results in the World Series. Everyone knows that Chinese sports were not very good at that time. Winning a medal in a long-distance race is a major breakthrough. So our family embarked on a journey with about 2 US dollars in funds, from Shanghai all the way to the northeast, the distance is almost the same as from Los Angeles to Seattle. Our family took a train for three days to get there Dongbei, and then contacted those team members. At that time, the business sensitivity of people in China was not very good, so we didn’t have many competitors, and then we used [-] US dollars to sign a contract with them, and then started to make health care products ..."

Seven out of Jia Hongjian's ten sentences were true. After hiding some key content, he told the story of their family's entrepreneurial experience.The live audience listens.It's really like listening to a story.Even after listening to them, they feel that they can do it themselves-this kind of thing about finding celebrity endorsements after sports stars become famous is too common in the United States.Didn't expect it to be a rare thing in China?So if they were in China back then.I will definitely raise money to find that sports team as an endorsement!Then there is no need to produce any health care products.It's okay to produce any sports products, such as sports shoes, which will obviously sell well!

So after thinking about these.Looking at Jia Hongjian's net worth today, many audience members really felt that Jia Hongjian was actually an ordinary person similar to them—a person of the usual level in the United States!If they were in China back then, they might be as good as Jia Hongjian now!This is a fortune of trillions!This China is obviously a land full of opportunities!

Then, under Oprah's guidance, Jia Hongjian slowly explained how he came up with this Sherlock Holmes engine.To be honest, it was a bit difficult for him to compile, because there was no Internet in China back then, and there was not even a webpage in the country. How could he think of making something that could search the web?This is obviously unreasonable!Ever since, he pushed the source of the matter to Ye Jing.

According to him, this is when he came to see his girlfriend, Ye Jing, and found out that Ye Jing’s website in the United States, such as America Online, is very interesting, and even he is deeply involved in it. look or something.As a result, Ye Jing casually said that there is a lot of content on the Internet, but it is very difficult to find what you want!Because there is not even a directory!After all, in that era, even Yahoo’s directory-style engine hadn’t been invented yet. To find a webpage, you could find links one by one through a large comprehensive website like America Online, and it was really difficult to find unfamiliar pages.

So Jia Hongjian said that at this moment he thought about it, how can he make something that can smoothly search for unfamiliar web pages?So he thought of something like the telephone yellow pages, but the telephone yellow pages are registered with the telecommunications provider, and the telecommunications provider will add the name and phone number of the head of the household to the yellow pages. It's different, and the network provider obviously has no way to know what webpage is created by the user who opened an account with them, or whether to establish a webpage or not.

In the end, Jia Hongjian thought of a way, that is, whether he could make a software like "newspaper delivery boy" to register the main content of each website one by one.Then he commissioned relevant domestic experts to start research, and finally designed a prototype of spider software, and then went to the United States to register a patent—after all, there were only a lot of web pages in the United States at that time.Later, his girlfriend set up a server by herself, put this spider software on mit's intranet, and then she could browse various personal homepages, and even created a public service page on a whim... So Holmes was born slowly...

At this time, the audience at the scene finally began to discover the gap between them and Jia Hongjian—according to the scene described in Jia Hongjian's story, many of them felt that inconvenience before, but everyone It's just that I feel it, and no one really stands up to figure out how to solve it!But Jia Hongjian was different. He took the initiative to figure out how to solve this problem. When he found a solution, he registered this solution as a patent, and then became a company... This is obviously impossible for ordinary people!

That's right, it was only at this time that everyone began to feel that Jia Hongjian was really Jia Hongjian, and that this was a real entrepreneurial story, not relying on some newly opened market to seize opportunities that everyone could seize What to get rich...

After talking about some things with Holmes' company here, we moved on to the issue of online shopping.This time, Jia Hongjian continued to push the matter on Ye Jing. According to him, Ye Jing wanted to buy a few books, but because the books were relatively small, he went to many bookstores, and even went to several bookstores. Only the city can buy it.Later, because Jia Hongjian felt sorry for his girlfriend, he began to think about how to establish a way to quickly buy the books he wanted.What he first thought of was to build a search engine similar to Sherlock Holmes, that is, let all large, medium and small bookstores upload their picture titles on the webpage, and then use robot spiders to crawl these webpages to collect them, and finally search for the signature. If you know where these books are sold in the United States, you can go to buy them!

But such an idea was quickly overturned, because many people in bookstores don't know how to build a website, especially some small bookstores.Not to mention that after letting them build a website, they have to keep updating it, which is very troublesome, and no one tells them how to build a website.So Jia Hongjian thought of making a network template, plus a client software, each family only needs to scan the barcode of the book with the scanning gun at the cash register, and then it can be directly entered into the system, and then they don't need to do anything To maintain, and sell a copy, just modify the quantity in the background of the computer software.Then in this way, it can be searched and can reduce the expenditure of merchants.However, this idea was overturned later, because Jia Hongjian discussed with Ye Jing and began to feel that this solution was not enough to stimulate merchants to take the initiative to install it.

Because if there is no computer in the store, why would they buy a computer to install such a system?The book catalogs of most stores are similar to those of others. How many people in the United States can buy their books across several cities?So in the end, it is not enough to attract merchants to install it, at most it is useful for some merchants who specialize in out-of-print books.So, in the end, Jia Hongjian and the others thought of an online shopping platform, where individual out-of-print book merchants can create their own pages, and then rely on mail to save consumers from the cost of traveling across several cities, and at the same time allow large-scale Book companies put their inventory directly online, so consumers can buy books cheaper than bookstores...

When they heard this, the audience at the scene could be said to have begun to admire Jia Hongjian!Especially the applause!At first, when Jia Hongjian came on stage, everyone just gave polite applause, but when Jia Hongjian finished talking about how to build the Sherlock Holmes online shopping platform, the applause of the audience was a kind of warm applause from the bottom of their hearts!After all, this is really impossible for ordinary people to do!Just seeing how many times the plan was overturned is enough to see Jia Hongjian's commercial sensitivity!

Many people even began to think that Jia Hongjian's experience could be written into a success study book or an autobiography!However, from a certain point of view, Jia Hongjian can indeed write this as an autobiography—the autobiography of a real big man, of course, like him, will hide some things that are not suitable for publication, and then say everything that is very "the halo of the protagonist" look like.For example, Tang Jun, the former "boss" of Microsoft China, bought his doctoral degree from Yeji University, and the mixed results are basically based on deceit, but he will put this real situation write it out?What he writes is all kinds of hidden secrets, and then beautifies the "success" afterwards...

"Very well, we have all heard that Jia Hongjian, a very smart young man who can be said to be a genius, has achieved success in our land in the United States, and he may not be successful in any other place in the world. , because we have the world's most advanced technology here, and it is more suitable to stimulate the germination of new technologies than other countries in the world! And here, because of the people of all kinds of skin colors, we attract foreigners from various cultural environments , can generate brainstorming and stimulate the generation of various new technologies and new ideas. Can I say that Jia Hongjian’s success is actually an American dream?” This Aunt Oprah is really an excellent host, In the blink of an eye, Jia Hongjian's success was linked to American patriotism.Connect Jia Hongjian's success with the national pride of the American people!In this way, Jia Hongjian was like a friend of the American people, not a foreign spy!
