Crossover: 2014

Chapter 393 Targeting Overseas Markets
The main purpose of Huang Jing's call to Lin Hui this time is to report to Lin Hui about the progress of the online office system leasing.

So after a brief chat about the content related to the game "T-rex's Journey".

Huang Jing chatted with Lin Hui about online office.

Regarding the leasing of the online office software "F.FSG", Huang Jing has already conducted preliminary negotiations with overseas teams.

Huang Jing's call was mainly to give Lin Hui feedback on the outcome of the negotiation, and at the same time, Huang Jing wanted to know Lin Hui's next plan.

When it comes to online office, in fact, Lin Hui didn't tinker with online office software in his previous life.

However, this does not prevent Lin Hui from expressing his views on online office.

If you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs run.

In this case, it is not impossible for Lin Hui to do some micro-manipulation.

Lin Hui has used similar online office software/office systems in previous lives.

Lin Hui is still very clear about some common shortcomings or disadvantages of online office software/online office systems in the previous life.

Speaking of the reason why many companies choose to work online in the previous life, it is also a last resort for many companies.

When faced with certain special circumstances, people are not allowed to gather together, and the normal operation of the enterprise requires countless technical personnel to carry out daily work.

In this case, online office software/online office system has become the last choice for migrant workers.

Speaking of which, the earliest online office software/online office system in the previous life was actually quite informal.

Because the earliest online office in China in the previous life did not focus entirely on office work.

When many people turn their attention to online office, it is only to understand the urgent need.

The earliest online office was mainly used for online meetings.

In the early days, this kind of online communication was completely realized by WeChat/Xin groups and QQ groups.

Although instant messaging software such as WeChat and Penguin can provide online meeting functions to a certain extent.

But just online meetings are not the whole of online office.

With the further upgrade of enterprises' demand for online office tasks.

Enterprises began to turn to professional office software such as Ding Ding and Fei Mi.

Lin Hui was a bit disapproving of the professional capabilities advertised by this type of professional office software.

Lin Hui thinks it is better to call this kind of software professional office software.

It is more appropriate to call it general office software.

The reason why this kind of software is called general office software rather than professional office software.

It's because the professionalism of this kind of software is not interesting in terms of Lin Hui's actual use experience in his previous life.

Especially when these softwares were just launched, even the most basic general office was meant for tea breaks.

Software such as Ding Ding and Fei Mi always give people a very tasteless feeling when they are just used for online office in a special period, and they are tasteless.

Although this kind of software that focuses on efficiency can meet certain online office needs.

It can only play a certain role in online meetings, signing in and punching in, and synchronizing documents.

For more complex work content, it is simply impossible to satisfy online.

Even in the face of some complex work tasks, the performance of online office software is quite weak.

Anyway, Lin Hui's work in the previous life was difficult to handle with this kind of online office software.

It is a pity that even the domestic online office software on the eve of Lin Hui's crossing did not properly solve the corresponding problems.

As for why it couldn't be solved?
Lin Hui felt that it was not simply because of technical problems.

Speaking of domestic technical strength related to software, it is actually a very metaphysical issue.

The strength shown by domestic software is a very metaphysical question.

Why do you say that?
Say that domestic software technology is weak!
It just so happens that a website like 123O6 can be born in China.

As for 123O6, an "ordinary" website, although most people are familiar with this website.

But few people pay attention to this website.

As for the past and present of this website, maybe not many people will care about it.

In the eyes of most people, its technical level is often equated with the technical level of the general zf portal webpage by people who don't know the truth.

This view is quite one-sided.

But in fact, it is quite difficult to build a website like 123O6.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is world-class difficulty.

After all, it is facing the travel problem of more than one billion population.

The ticketing system of such a website is not uncomplicated.

The first is the large number of visits, as the only official online ticket buying channel.

Although not everyone buys tickets online.

But it still does not prevent the website from selling more than 30 billion tickets a year.

What is the concept of 30 billion tickets? If these tickets are connected end to end, they can circle the earth more than 7 times.

And because of the habits of Chinese people, during the Spring Festival/Spring Festival, the number of visits to the website will easily exceed [-] billion times.

Lin Hui remembered when he saw a set of data in his previous life saying that the Spring Festival in 2020.

The website receives a staggering 1495 billion visits a day, with an average of 170 million hits per second.

This kind of terrifying traffic, if it were an ordinary website, it would probably have been paralyzed long ago.

In addition to the number of visits, the ticket grabbing system is far more complicated than people think.

For example: a random high-speed train may involve more than a dozen stations. Among these more than a dozen stations, there are many possibilities for customers to choose a certain station to get on the train and choose a certain station to get off. In terms of seat settings, there are three common seat options: business seat, first class seat, and second class seat. In this way, users can choose from a wide range of options just by purchasing tickets for one high-speed rail.

And that's just one route!
You must know that there are nearly 1 passenger stations across the country, and they operate every day at peak times, with more than [-] passenger flights.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to describe the options available for ticket purchase as "a plethora of options".

Moreover, the ticket is still a dynamic commodity, and ticket purchase, refund, and rebooking can happen at any time.

This requires the website to monitor dynamic changes all the time and respond immediately, so it depends on the amount of calculation, complexity, and load.

It is said that the combination of several giants of domestic e-commerce in the previous life, such as Bao, Dong, and Xixi, can't keep up with one-fifth of 123O6 in complexity.

In addition to the above-mentioned problems, there is also the problem of security protection. The 123O6 system contains a huge amount of personal information. If there is a little misuse, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Some media have done statistics, and 123O6 receives as many as 82 risk requests per second.

A website like 123O6, which was just started in 2012 in the previous life, invites bids from all over the world.

Many international giants, including Microsoft and IBM, came to bid, but none of these giants could make No.1.

In the end, the domestic technical team got the website done.

The domestic technical team has the strength to handle such a website, and the corresponding technical strength is not weak.

But according to this, the domestic software technology is strong, right?
It is an indisputable fact that some very commonly used websites have the same poor experience as shi.

Lin Hui feels that whether the domestic technical team is strong or not does not lie in the difficulty of the technology itself.

It's about how determined you are to make a product.

Do you really want to get something done?

If you really want to get something done and are willing to take action, there is no reason why you can't do it.

The Analects of Confucius also has a similar expression:

"The glory of Tangdi is the opposite. Don't you think, the room is far away."

The Master said: "Thinking about the future, how far is it?"

(A poem in ancient times wrote like this) "Tang Di's flowers are swaying lightly. How can I not miss you? It's just because I live too far away."

Confucius said: "He still doesn't really miss it. If he really misses it, how far is it?"

Although the above statement is quite idealistic.

But Lin Hui still felt that if he really wanted to get something done, there would be very few difficulties for the Chinese people.

In Lin Hui's previous life, until the eve of time travel, domestic Internet companies were still not doing well enough in terms of online office work.

Even some online office software experience is very poor.

As for the reason for all this?

Lin Hui felt that the root cause was that the development team of the online office software did not make up their minds about this matter.

At least I didn't really put my heart into it when I did it.

And why didn't these development teams make up their minds?
This is how the wise see the wise and the benevolent see benevolence.

Anyway, Lin Hui thinks that it is not difficult to do it if it is really determined and the direction is clear when it comes to online office.

Even if it is impossible to make the kind of online office software that can completely replace the offline office scene.

At least you can come up with a worthwhile one.

What's more, Lin Hui is not doing online office from scratch now.

Instead, we directly cooperate with overseas teams with mature technology.

This in itself is a shortcut.

In this way, Lin Hui does not need to face technical problems in a short period of time.

As for what kind of path will Lin Hui's online office software take in the future?
For the time being, Lin Hui only intends to be "self-sufficient" to meet a certain degree of internal use.

As for whether it will be introduced to the market in the longer term?

Lin Hui thinks that the online office software/office system that will be developed in the future will be fine if it is not opened to the public in the future.

If it is opened to the outside world, it will also mainly face overseas markets.

This has nothing to do with the question of whether the fart/butt is straight or not.

It is a decision made based on facts and based on the market.

To be honest, even past lives are affected by various circumstances.

The online office penetration rate of domestic enterprises is not too high.

In contrast to overseas, in 2017 in the previous life, more than 3000% of the companies in Ugly Country introduced the remote office system, and [-] million people worked remotely at home.

Although the number of "3000 million people" does not sound like a lot.

But you must know that there are not too many people in Magnesia.

As for the country's working population compared to our country is very limited.

In this case, it is measured from the perspective of proportion.

There are 3000 million workers who work remotely at home, accounting for almost 16%-19% of the working population in Magnesium.

This ratio is undoubtedly quite exaggerated.

It can even be said that almost one out of every five people in Magnesium may rely on online office for work output due to some circumstances.

Magnesium Online Office The reason why the online office penetration rate is so high.
Lin Hui thinks that it is mainly due to the following reasons:
First of all, the overseas Internet penetration rate is high, and technology is highly intensive.

In terms of the number of Internet users, there is almost nothing comparable to my country.

(Even if you are more confident, you can remove the "almost".

Although the official data of the number of netizens in the Ganges Kingdom is quite large, Lin Hui feels that there is a lot of moisture.

Maybe it's just Lin Hui's prejudice, but there are too many examples that the mud in the Ganges country can't support the wall. )
But in terms of popularity and influence, Ugly Country is still ahead of my country.

According to the data of the previous world in 2018, the Internet penetration rate in Ugly country is about 89%, while that in my country is 59.6%.

Smartphone users accounted for 70% of the total population in the country of Magnesium, while the usage rate of smartphones in China was less than 51% at that time.

It's not 2018 yet, it's 2014.

In 2014, the gap is probably even worse.

In addition to the factors of high penetration rate, the reason why Lin Hui thinks that online office has more business prospects in ugly countries is as follows
Magnesium State-owned Silicon Valley, the most famous in the world, has given birth to countless well-known technology and Internet companies.

Ugly countries have many global companies.

Such as Google/Google, Apple, Facebook/Book, Microsoft/Soft, etc.

In 2018, there were 500 magnesium companies in the world's top 126 companies.

2018-2019 Derwent Global Top 33 Innovation Institutions, Magnesium has [-].

Among the top 2018 global technology brands in 100, there are 55 in China and 18 in China.

The top five are also Magnesium brands, namely Amazon, Apple, Google/Google, Facebook/Book, and Microsoft/Software.

The more global companies and Internet high-tech companies, the more popular online office will also have an important impact.

Furthermore, it is because of other reasons such as labor costs.

Although Magnesium has a land area comparable to that of my country, its population is only about 1/4 of that of China.

However, various potential factors play a role and have an impact on the popularity of online office.

Compared with the situation faced by our country, the labor cost in Magnesium is very high, and with the fierce competition for talents, real estate prices have risen.

In this context, many Internet companies in Magnesia have begun to set up branches in other regions of Magnesium and even around the world to carry out online office models.

In short, various factors make Lin Hui feel that overseas is more suitable for the commercialization of online office in the short term.

If you take a longer view, because the online office model is a good choice for companies to deal with the current situation of soaring housing prices, high talent costs, and traffic congestion.

Therefore, it is not only the commercialization of online office in overseas regions, but also the direction of online office in the near future in China.

Even so, for a longer period of time, Lin Hui didn't pay much attention to it for a short period of time.

Even if Lin Hui has some "prophetic" information, who can predict more long-term things?
Sometimes it seems that we can only take one step at a time.

Lin Hui would not say that he was completely desperate, but he hoped that there would be a way for the car to reach the mountain.

There are priorities, and now Lin Hui is facing matters related to online office.

Lin Hui has already made a rough judgment on the online office.

Therefore, Lin Hui naturally knew Huang Jing's inquiry about online office.
