Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1384 Yellow Pages Project

After getting Li Guangnan's attitude, Zhou Zhi followed up and visited the ministry.

As someone who has just won the special prize for technological progress, it is now much harder to walk through the door.

It should be said that the new leadership has a clear understanding of the current industrial ecology, the difficulties and internal and external conflicts it faces, as well as the mess of things Zhou Zhi and Lao Hu are doing, and their relationship with each other.

After Zhou Zhi reported his idea of ​​bringing Li Guangnan to Shanghai for development, Zhou Zhi felt that he was relieved when he saw his leader?

However, the leader did not let up. He only said that he needed to continue to understand the opinions of various parties on this matter, and then mentioned Zhou Zhi's most important task now, asking him not to be distracted by other trivial matters.

Zhou Zhi immediately expressed his understanding that the company does have a big thing to do now, and said: "Minister Liu, you already know about our decision to launch the Hanwen Domain Name Yellow Pages Project?"

"What plan?" Minister Liu surprised Zhou Zhi: "What new idea is this of yours?"

It turned out that this person didn't know it yet, so Zhou Zhi had to explain patiently: "Now Hanwenku has basically established its status as the world's only mainstream Chinese character input method, and according to the latest reports, our country has also become an officially internationally recognized 'Internet country'" '."

“For some of our country’s time-honored names and brands, we should step up our efforts to apply for international domain names to guard against being registered by others, including domain names with Chinese characters and English domain names.”

This is another huge difference from the previous life, and this difference was also brought about by Zhou Zhi, so Zhou Zhi is quite proud.

In the previous life, due to the inconsistency and widespread dissemination of Chinese character libraries, during the most intense period of disputes over Internet domain name registration, there was no such thing as Chinese domain names, because Chinese did not exist in major mainstream operating systems, nor did Added to the World Wide Web Organization's default domain name rules.

Another important reason for using letters is because the Chinese codes used in different regions are also different. If you register a domain name with a Chinese code in one region, it will look garbled in other regions, and it will not be possible to input, and others will still not be able to access it. The address you registered will not have this problem only if you use an alphabetical domain name.

For example, the domain name of Luzhou Laojiao is basically www.luzhoulaojiao.com, and www.Luzhoulaojiao.com does not appear.

This is of course something Zhou Zhi doesn’t want to see happen, so before the first phase of the Han font library was launched, he had already connected with Microsoft through the Unicode organization and bundled the Chinese Unicode font library into the Windows system.

This resulted in the subsequent registration of domain names by major Chinese companies, and most of them could only register brand domain names through Pinyin.

Now it has finally come true. The globally unified Chinese code has emerged in this world, and it has become natural for a unified Chinese domain name to appear in the international domain name registration rules.

Later, I used this result to try to compete with Apple, and coupled with UNIX, which is already open source, basically all the mainstream operating systems in the world are equipped with Hanwen library.

"Xiao Zhou, your reminder is very timely!" Minister Liu nodded: "The Internet has only been connected to a 64K line now. It is an emerging thing. Even the international rules are not complete yet. If we don't take precautions, we will be preempted by others in the future. , if you want to come back, it will be troublesome."

"The most troublesome thing is not here." Zhou Zhi said with a wry smile: "The most troublesome thing is that domestic enterprises have no awareness of this matter at all."

"We have called many manufacturers to remind them, and even the Clover Company has set up a team to take charge of this matter." Zhou Zhi said that he was very happy: "It turned out that the shaved guy had a hot head, and the other party wanted to Either treat us as liars, or say that they have no overseas business and don't need it at all." "How about issuing a document in the name of the ministry?" Minister Liu thought about it for a while: "But we are really not good at business matters. Intervention, if several ministries and commissions hold separate meetings to discuss this, wouldn't it be a big deal? Coordination will be very troublesome..."

At this point, Zhou Zhi basically understands the attitude of the ministry. Indeed, whether to register a domain name or not is only an act decided by the company. If it is changed to mandatory, it seems so unreasonable today when we are calling for companies to be loosened and relieved of their burdens, and administrative intervention is reduced. Out of place.

Especially when this ministry is still an electronics department that has nothing to do with business operations, it is even more inappropriate.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhi had already responded: "It's really hard to over-intervene. If I remind you, others may not listen. So my idea is to set up a Yellow Pages management unit to compile the brand domain names with relatively high brand value in my country into one." Manage the Internet Yellow Pages.”

"If the ministry is not willing to participate too much, our company can register all these domain names first, and it will not cost too much." Zhou Zhi said: "When these companies need to use these domain names in the future, they can come to us. To go back, all you need to do is return the management fees we paid over the years.”

"Well, it's better to do this." Minister Liu nodded: "Since it's not a big deal, it's better for the ministry not to participate now. It's better to maintain its status and be your referee in the future. I know about this. But that’s not the big thing I’m talking about.”

"what?"

"This time, both Samsung and Sony are very enthusiastic. The representatives they sent to invite you to visit are already waiting in Shanghai."

"Director Hu meant that this matter couldn't be done without you, so he added you to the list of members of the delegation. I thought he had already told you that you came to the ministry for this matter!"

"I really don't know about this." Zhou Zhi thought about it and said, "I only know that he has been negotiating with several companies for more than a month. It seems that things are already coming to an end?"

"Yes, Samsung and Sony are very active. Samsung agreed to invest in a memory particle manufacturing plant with Huahong in Zhangjiang. This is also its own need in order to compete with several companies in the island country for the world market share of memory components."

"Sony's attitude is even more anxious, demanding that negotiations on MPEG-2 agreement cooperation be started immediately. Xiao Zhou, are you aware of their weakness? Why does the mood of their representatives seem a little wrong?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhi felt secretly happy: "Because we launched the MPEG-1 video decoding chip and VCD first, all their investment in the research and development of the MPEG-1 protocol was wasted."

"At the same time, we have also obtained multi-format audio decoding chips such as MP3 and WMP. Even if their digital audio decoding chips can be developed now, their competitiveness has dropped to the point where it is difficult to match the previous R&D investment."

"Now Sony still has an advantage in MPEG2 product development. Unfortunately, we are also playing with this, and now it seems that they don't have much confidence in themselves." Zhou Zhi spread his hands and shrugged Shoulder: "In other words, they don't have the confidence to beat us in terms of time, efficiency, and R&D costs."

"If you can't beat me, then you'd better join in and play together..."
