Chapter 162 Dating (6k)

"So in the future we have to walk on two legs. Enterprise users are one type, and individual customers are another type. Everyone in Pengcheng still has some relationship with Yanjing.

We have to make enterprise-type QQ products first, then find companies that we have a good relationship with to promote them, and sell enterprise-type QQ to them. After selling to them, we have a few cases before we can promote it nationwide.

In addition, different from enterprise computer products like SAP, the essence of enterprise QQ is still instant messaging, which is faster than mail transmission. Therefore, we will not require project managers and developers to go deep into each project like SAP does. Enterprises, a project is at least three months.

Because an enterprise business management system such as SAP requires customized development according to the actual needs of customers, it requires SAP staff to have a deep understanding of the nature of the enterprise's business.

Therefore, their business model is relatively heavy, and Guanghua has nearly [-] people responsible for its implementation.

For enterprise QQ, we only need to grasp the common needs of enterprises for internal communication, develop all these functions, and then sell them at different prices.So we don't do customized development, we only sell products and sell deployment.

They provide a server environment, and our engineers can help them deploy locally within one day.

In order to prevent other companies from cracking, a lot of confidentiality work has to be done on the code.

Finally, Zhou Xin and I mentioned the functions to be realized by enterprise QQ, such as check-in, group building, and reading, including the fine-tuning of fees to the maximum number of people that can be accommodated in a group, and the maximum number of groups that can be built. .

After listening to these, everyone felt that Zhou Xin was amazing and well-deserved of his reputation. These functions are very suitable for the actual needs of enterprises. It is the most correct choice for us to find him to invest in this Internet conference.

What I want to say is that these are Zhou Xin's thoughts, not yours, nor mine.

We can't rest on Zhou Xin's thinking and eat our food. His thinking about products is really powerful, he grasps the needs of users almost instantly, and meets the needs of users through functional design.Just a few words, if I were the management of a large enterprise, I would be interested in the enterprise instant messaging software he mentioned.

His thinking can only help us open up the situation in the first year, and our advantage can be maintained for half a year at most.The companies in Zhongguancun have a very keen sense of smell. Zhou Xin developed Quora in Silicon Valley. In just one month, Huaguo has produced a benchmark product.

The same is true for our enterprise QQ. Once we achieve temporary success, there will soon be competing products that will compete with us for the market.

So we need to have our own thinking, and you don’t want to. Every time I call Zhou Xin across the ocean, I ask: Newman, what difficulties have we encountered recently? Do you have any good solutions here?

He is our investor, not our product manager. What he said to Tencent is valuable enough.In my opinion, these are more valuable than the $220 million, which is what can really keep Tencent alive.

We can't just rely on his thinking forever, we need our own thinking, we must be able to truly touch the fundamental needs of enterprise users, and think about how instant messaging can meet their fundamental needs.

So everyone get moving as soon as possible.Zhidong, You and I are in charge of the product development of enterprise QQ, Li Qing goes to run demand, to find out which large enterprises in the market have similar needs, Chen Ye and Yidan are in charge of the development of QQ avatar. "

After Zhou Xin communicated with Pony Ma, Pony Ma returned to the hotel to hold a meeting on the turning point of Tencent's development.In the next three days of the Internet Conference, Tencent’s founder team went to participate in the Internet Conference’s exchanges and lectures during the day, and wrote codes in the hotel at night.

They were skeptical about whether avatars could really make money, but this idea was brought up by Zhou Xin and the enterprise class QQ, and they called him one of the two paths. Zhou Xin's vision made them have to pay attention .

After pointing out another direction for Tencent, Zhou Xin continued to meet other Huaguo Internet entrepreneurs.

One of them, Yitang.com, left a deep impression on him.

The founder of Yitang.com is a Harvard MBA, and then found four other Harvard MBAs and two MBAs from the University of Chicago to found this company, and got 4 million US dollars in financing just by relying on the entrepreneurial plan.

As soon as he came up, he was bragging with Zhou Xin, how to provide life information and fashion and cultural information services for the new generation of consumers, and establish the company's brand.

After establishing the corporate brand, we will make Huaguo's own fashion consumer products, and use the brand of Yitang to empower the products.

After hearing this, Zhou Xin knew that this path was feasible, at least from the perspective of capital operation.Eslite Vancl is a pioneer. If it does not make so many products but focuses on clothing, it may not be able to achieve the form of Uniqlo.

The later SHEIN is an advanced form of Vancl Eslite.

The reason why Zhou Xin did not choose to invest in Yitang is that Wu Shiqiang told him in advance that there was a problem with the company's founder team.

After receiving a huge investment, the founder team lived an extremely luxurious life. At the same time, they invested heavily in publicity, but they could not see the output for a long time.

It claims to be a fashion consumer product, but there is no substantial progress.

When Zhou Xin chatted with the founder of Yitang, he only heard him talk about the future. Regarding the current situation, he only talked about the number of users, not about the revenue.

This made Zhou Xin very speechless. Instead of investing in Yitang, it is better to wait for Lei Jun's Joyo.com to be established next year and then vote for his Joyo.com.

With his advice, Joyo may not be acquired by Amazon.

After chatting in the last few days, Zhou Xin invested about 5000 million US dollars, and he basically invested in Internet companies that can survive the first decade of the 21st century.

Except for Sina, Sina is purely a personal grievance, so that after the news came out, there were many discussions on major Internet forums in China.

The investment circle is also discussing, and everyone is discussing whether there are risks in Sina that they are not aware of.

Zhou Xin's behavior directly led to Sina's investors talking to them about divestment.

Because of Zhou Xin's investment behavior in China, it can be seen that his threshold is obviously very low. From the perspective of investors of multinational companies in China, giving back to the motherland is the first priority, and investing in the Internet is second.

Under such a low threshold, Sina did not get any investment, which also cast a heavy shadow on Sina's listing.

"Hua Guo Youth Daily: (Reporter Wang Yongzhi) On December 1999, 12, Yanjing time, the five-day Internet conference came to an end in Beijing.

At this Internet Conference, representatives from over a thousand Internet companies from all over the world conducted full exchanges through the conference.The conference resulted in a total of more than 1 million US dollars of on-site signing cooperation intentions, more than 10 billion yuan of cooperation in the on-site investment promotion area, and a total of more than 2 million US dollars of transaction intentions.

Some economic commentators pointed out that after the Nasdaq crisis intensifies, Internet companies in Huaguo may usher in new opportunities for development.Because compared with American Internet companies, the valuation of Huaguo Internet companies is generally low, which is a value depression.”

During the five days when the Internet Conference was held in Huaguo, the decline of the Nasdaq index did not stop at all.

Especially after the judgment of the District Court of Columbia against Microsoft, Microsoft fell 30.00%, bringing down the entire Internet company.

Bill Gates, who originally planned to stay in China for the entire Internet conference, hurried back to China the next day.

Others like Jerry Yang, Gerald Wright, etc. did not stay for five days. Everyone’s company’s market value is falling, and the board of directors is waiting for them to go back to a meeting to discuss how to stabilize the stock price.

The stock price of Riot Games is also falling, and the decline is not small, it has fallen by 20.00%.

But Zhou Xin is not in a hurry. He knows that after this round of bubble ends, a large number of Internet companies will go bankrupt, and the market value of a large number of Internet-related companies will fall to a very low price.

Fist Games is no exception, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to recover some of the shares in Fist Games.

As well as the acquisition of some other companies, Zhou Xin can think of such as Nvidia and ARM, these are available.

Like Intel, he can afford it but can't.

In this crisis, all companies related to information technology and the Internet cannot escape the fate of a sharp drop.

So Zhou Xin knew that it was useless to be anxious, and he was not in a hurry at all. He never thought of cashing out Riot Games.

When companies such as Amazon and ebay realize the importance of electronic payment, they will definitely try to build their own electronic payment software. Once they drive NewPay out, Riot Games is likely to be the most important payment channel for NewPay.

Just for NewPay, Zhou Xin will not sell Riot Games, he also has to repurchase heavily to maintain stronger control over Riot Games.

"Sister, long time no see." Wearing a mask, Zhou Xin asked the other party to have dinner at the Lanrun Hotel next to Yanda University.

When she received Zhou Xin's invitation, Li Jingyi couldn't believe it.

Because she met Zhou Xin at a lecture organized by New Oriental last year, and after getting his email from Zhou Xinna, Li Jingyi wrote an email to Zhou Xin, wanting to ask Zhou Xin some more specific details about studying abroad. .

After she left her contact information in the email, she did not hear back.

Later, he watched Zhou Xin become more and more famous and rich, and his fortune was faster than riding a rocket.

This name appears on Yanda's BBS forum every day, and if I don't see it for a day, it seems that something is missing.

Originally, Li Jingyi just wanted to ask this junior some questions, and didn't have too many ideas.Moreover, being able to transfer to Berkeley only proves that Zhou Xin has a strong learning ability, and does not prove anything else.

Even after Zhou Xin became famous, Li Jingyi never went to find Zhou Xin again.Unexpectedly, Zhou Xin would call and ask her to meet with her on the first day after entering the 21st century.

Zhou Xin's place was at the Lanrun Hotel near Yanda University. Cao Yongluo invited them to eat here before.

Zhou Xin thinks the environment is good, and it is also close to Yanda University, a 10-minute walk away.

After Li Jingyi sat down and took off the scarf, she looked a little cautious when she saw this face that she often saw in the news and on the Internet: "Student, do you mind if I call you that?"

Zhou Xin took a closer look and found that the other party was even more beautiful than the rough meeting last year, and his appearance was high enough, and he belonged to the type of looking more and more beautiful.

However, as a veteran driver, Zhou Xin seemed very familiar: "I don't mind, I call you senior sister, doesn't that mean I don't mind you calling me junior?

Let's take a look at the menu. What do you want? "

Li Jingyi said: "Just look at it."

After Zhou Xin picked out a few signature dishes at random, he called the waiter over to order and said, "We haven't seen each other for about a year."

"Yes." Li Jingyi didn't quite know why Zhou Xin wanted her here.

Zhou Xin said: "I know it's very presumptuous to call you out this time, to put it simply, it's like this, I need to have a girlfriend, whether it's in public or in private, I need to have a girlfriend.

Would you like to play this role? "

Li Jingyi also guessed the purpose of this meeting before coming to see Zhou Xin, but she didn't expect him to be so direct, she subconsciously asked: "Why me?
We seem to have only met once before? "

She knew that the only things she could sell were her appearance and education. To Zhou Xin, it didn't matter what happened to her family.

Zhou Xin: "Because I think you are suitable, I don't want to have a political marriage, I don't want to look for it abroad, and I don't want to look for it from within the company.

During my return to China, I tried every means to introduce my daughter or the daughter of relatives to me and met too many people.

In the foreseeable future, such things will only increase.Not only at home, but also abroad, there are many people who want to introduce their daughters to me.

I want to avoid this from happening, I need to have girlfriends in public. "

The privacy of Lanrun's private rooms is guaranteed.

I have seen many in China, except for the ones I mentioned above, the one I am most familiar with is you, and we have talked a little bit.

And I also asked someone to ask, you didn't have a boyfriend before, and you didn't have a boyfriend before, so in summary, I think you are very suitable.

What do you think? "

Li Jingyi hasn't realized it yet, for materialistic people, being Zhou Xin's girlfriend is definitely a piece of cake from the sky.

But as a student of Yanda University and a student of science, Li Jingyi is very calm. She keeps herself calm while drinking water.

Because she knew that this was a decision that could change her fate.

For many people, choosing what job to choose, who to date and get married, and which city to go to will have a major impact on life.But they don't realize it the moment they make a decision.

Now the options given by Zhou Xin, as long as he is an individual, he knows that if he agrees to it, it will bring about earth-shaking changes in his life.

"I don't know. The class gap between you and me is too big. I don't have any channels to judge whether what you said is true or false." Li Jingyi said.

Zhou Xin replied: "These things are easy to verify, you will become my girlfriend in public.

I will go to Shenhai in the future. I will invest in an entire semiconductor industrial park in Shenhai. At the same time, two semiconductor companies under my name will also land in Shenhai.

When I go to meet the leaders of Shenhai City, you will attend as my girlfriend.

To put it simply, in the future, if I need a female partner in any public occasion, it will be you. We are not in an underground relationship, and you also have to show up in front of the media.

As for how we started dating, I gave you my email address when I gave a lecture at Yanda University, and then we had a cross-border online dating for more than a year.

I will introduce you to the outside world after I finally return home to meet you.

Makes sense, doesn't it? "

For a cold-blooded animal like Zhou Xin, he only needs to have a girlfriend who can help him avoid a lot of trouble, it doesn't matter who he is.

Of course looks are important.

Zhou Xin continued: "Don't think that being my girlfriend is such a good thing.

You also said just now that there is a huge difference in our class, so in the process of getting along, you can't have your own petty temper, and you need to put my feelings first.

I can't guarantee that you are the only object, you are only an object in public. "

Now that the foundation is not deep, Zhou Xin dare not mess around.

In the private room of Lanrun, before he came to eat, he asked his security team in China to confirm in advance that there was no wiretapping device.

"Of course we will have a lot of time to get acquainted with each other. The physical contact during the relationship, except for the intimate contact with the outside world in public, I will fully respect your opinion."

"The things mentioned above are what you have to pay, and as for what you can get, I think it is probably something you have never seen before.

For example, from the establishment of the company to the listing, the customs and customs in different parts of the world, the nature of the operation of governments at all levels, and the intrigues of the financial industry.

When you make this decision, your life will be very different from before. "

Zhou Xin talked a lot, and Li Jingyi thought that more than a year ago, he was talking like this in the middle of a large classroom in the teaching building of Yanda University.

Facing the seniors and sisters in the audience, Zhou Xin acted as if he was a teacher.

Li Jingyi said: "I know what you just said, the deal you proposed, I think it is a deal.

This transaction is so sudden, you also said that this is a decision that will completely change my life.

How can I answer you so quickly? "

Li Jingyi knew that she would accept it in the end, and once she missed this opportunity, she would never have it again.

But she still hopes to know more about Zhou Xin and Zhou Xin outside the media.

If the other party just walked away because of this, and Li Jingyi lost this opportunity, she felt that she would not regret it.

Because of the deal Zhou Xin proposed, this option never appeared in her planned life.

It's like you are playing an RPG game, and the NPC in the RPG game comes out and asks you if you want to enter this world to experience it.

Zhou Xin smiled after hearing this, and he also hoped to chat more with the other party.

For Zhou Xin, the person she chooses and her personality are not important, because no matter what her true personality is, she must accommodate him in the process of getting along with him.

But if you can get to know more, the other party's personality is very good, which is of course even better.

"Okay, let me introduce myself briefly, I have just said so much, I haven't introduced myself yet.

My name is Zhou Xin, a native of Huaguo, a Ph.D candidate in the field of integrated circuits at the University of California, Berkeley, under the tutelage of Professor Hu Zhengming. Executive director of CAAS, executive director of Committee of [-]. "

Yes, at the end of last year, the internal committee of the Committee of [-] gave Zhou Xin the position of executive director.

"The board member of the Huaguo Internet Association, the honorary school director of Yanda University, these titles are too many, I will pick a few that I can remember. Because I want to hold an Internet conference in Huaguo, this Internet Association was established.

In addition, several companies have been established and invested in. Some of these companies are still managed by me, some have been sold, and others are managed by others.

That's about it. "

Without Zhou Xin, the Internet Society would not have been established until 2001.

After Zhou Xin finished speaking, Li Jingyi looked at the young man with a childish face in front of her, and it was really difficult to associate him with the above titles.

As if remembering something, Li Jingyi raised the corner of her mouth, and then stretched out her hand to shake hands with Zhou Xin: "Let me also introduce myself, my name is Li Jingyi, from Yanjing, majoring in Applied Mathematics at Yanda University, a senior student.

You have too many titles, I can't even remember them, so I will treat you as my junior. "

After Zhou Xin shook hands with her, he also grinned, and being with a beautiful woman always makes one feel at ease: "The more titles you have, the more tiring you are.

The most relaxing time for me was also when I was studying at Yanda University. At that time, I only needed to study well.

I am still a student now, but it is not enough to just read the book well. "

"I just heard from you that you are a senior, what do you plan to do after graduation?
If not I have another option for you. "

Li Jingyi replied: "I have already contacted the University of Hong Kong. After graduation, I will go to the University of Hong Kong to study for a master's degree."

Zhou Xin asked: "I remember when you asked me last year, didn't you want to study in American?"

Li Jingyi: "I originally planned this way, but American's master's programs are very expensive. I thought about it and let it go. Xiangjiang's colleges and universities are more cost-effective.

At the same time, I want to switch to computer science at the postgraduate stage. The computer science at HKU is still very good.

The only disadvantage is that Xiangjiang is not easy to find an internship on the Internet.

However, going to the Bay Area to study abroad should be similar. Now that the Internet industry is in a downturn, it should not be easy to find an internship, let alone stay. "

Zhou Xin: "Compared with Xiangjiang, no matter what happens in Silicon Valley, there are still many more job opportunities.

But it is true that being close to the Bay Area means that prices, accommodation and tuition will not be cheap.

The reason why I accepted New Oriental’s job last year to give lectures to you was because I was short of money because I was going to Berkeley to study for a Ph.D.

I was too short of money. Before I went to Berkeley, the sum of my whole body was only a four-digit rmb, which was still a four-digit number starting with 1.

He couldn't even afford a standing ticket for Zhang Yanjing to fly to San Francisco. "

After hearing this, Li Jingyi felt that Zhou Xin was very down-to-earth and had no airs at all: "It was really difficult to save enough travel expenses by working for New Oriental.

Therefore, when the heavens will send a great mission to the people, they must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skins. "

Zhou Xin shook his head: "No, Professor Hu bought the air ticket for me. I don't need travel expenses myself. It's best to work for New Oriental simply because I want to have some money on hand."

　Work and rest began to change gradually
　　I got the boutique badge, do you think it is better to have a big chapter, or is it better to divide it into chapters?

　　If you think it’s better to divide it into chapters, I’ll post it in 3k-4k chapters tomorrow.
