Reboot 2003

Chapter 190 098: The First Year of Entrepreneurship (Two in One)

Chen Qin knew about this before—he had been guarding against Mr. Lei for a long time, but it was already 2005, and Mr. Lei probably finally realized it.These two things were originally 360 things, but now they seem to be preempted by Lei Jun.

However, it is not surprising. After all, Lei Jun’s Kingsoft Antivirus has outperformed those traditional anti-software through price wars and low-price strategies at the beginning, and now it is free of charge. Developing in the direction of free, and also actively proposed to join the ecology of Galaxy software...

Now, of course, Chen Qin will not have any opinions.

Although antivirus and security guards are the things that 360 needs to live and work, the security field itself is a technology-intensive industry. It is not only troublesome to do this, but it will also ruin the jobs of those old Internet veterans, which will have a bad impact.

'Computer Assistant' - not to mention the security guard of the Kingsoft version. Taobao, eBay, Yahoo, and Baidu are now engaged in various bundled plug-ins. It is really an offending job.

On the contrary, the third-party browsers of Galaxy Software are high-level substitutes for various plug-ins. Of course, I am happy to see Lei Jun engage in this kind of nuclear weapon against the industry. Recently, these two softwares have just been released, and it seems that they have not been announced. He seemed to have attracted a lot of attention, but when Chen Qin talked about this matter, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Gu Wenjie: "By the way, what is Yahoo China doing recently?"

"Why did you ask this all of a sudden? Ali also joined Yahoo China recently. Yahoo is willing to cooperate with us. Jack is helping, but there has been no movement since then."

"I know this, but didn't there be that big gun before Yahoo Tianchao? He is still there?"

"Yeah, Ali continues to engage in e-commerce, Zhou Dapao's 3721 is in charge of Yahoo's 'Panama' and search engines, saying it is a peaceful competition, but it is just stealing business from us in a grand manner, that's it."

"Uh……"

Sitting on the chair, Chen Qin scratched his head. He knew about it—Ali’s future has not been as good as it has been in the past few years. Taobao spent money with eBay throughout last year. Thanks to the help of the Kuaikan platform, it probably didn't cost too much money, but even if their boss Ma is so pushy, this year is so miserable that he didn't even manage his West Lake Lunjian...

Fortunately, the hard times are over - the share of eBay has been surpassed by Taobao recently, although they also announced that it is free, but the situation is already difficult to recover.Taking advantage of this upsurge, Ma Yun got a billion-dollar investment from Yahoo, accounting for 40%. He said that he annexed Yahoo China, but actually became a part of Yahoo China.

And this incident is quite famous in the Internet circles of Tianchao. It is famous that Zhou Hongyi left immediately and founded 360, and later set up a company called "riding tiger", but it didn't happen in this plane for some reason. Chen Qin also heard Lei Jun was a security guard and suddenly remembered that Zhou Hongyi was still in Yahoo Heaven when he asked...

Is this the butterfly effect?Or it would be better to call it the tornado effect.

Of course, it is other people's business after all, and there is not much to pay attention to the affairs of Yahoo China, but when it comes to the annoying 'Zhou Dapao', Gu Wenjie complains: "By the way, Zhou Dapao's business was pretty good that week. Too much, it’s fine to make an advertising system and his search engine, it seems that I secretly made a one-click installation version of a pirated Windows system before, and asked me to set up an advertising billing plan for them, so fucking convinced..."

Chen Qin heard a confusing word, typed and asked: "Pirate system? Who made it?"

Gu Wenjie said: "It's his contribution, but in name it's probably his friend who is doing it. It's the kind of pirated XP system installed with ghost one-click. It used to be a forum, but after he bought it, he specialized in it. know what's the use..."

Chen Qin said: "In fact, we have been buying advertisements for pirated systems for quite a long time."

Gu Wenjie finally realized that Chen Qin was not joking: "I really haven't noticed this, it seems to have popped up all of a sudden this year..."

"Because last year's update of Windows XP sp2 updated the network authentication, many installation packages are not very easy to use, and now there are too many versions, it is becoming more and more difficult for ordinary people to find resources, so this kind of professional network pirates have become popular."

Gu Wenjie thought for a while, and some aftertaste came back: "No wonder I saw that the systems installed by the technicians in the company were all your free software. I thought they installed it themselves."

Then he made a suggestion that seemed a bit unreliable: "Then, can we actually do this? Anyway, the technical content is not high, so we can learn from your Getaiwang and make something uploaded by users themselves. Provide an advertising billing plan for those pirated systems to use, and grab a wave of Zhou Dapao's business, but I don't know if Microsoft and the government will have any objections..."

"Microsoft is definitely not happy, but the interests involved in this matter are huge. The government actually supports pirated systems secretly. Although they probably don't want someone to use this to make money, they certainly don't want Microsoft to take this as the head of the Chinese enterprise. To collect taxes..."

Gu Wenjie recalled: "Then do you think it is Yahoo's intention to create a pirated system?"

"I don't know, but Yahoo is definitely willing to do this. The prospects of all Internet companies are based on the premise that Microsoft has lost the access to the Internet. When we build our own small ecology, we must also find ways to prevent Microsoft from rushing in. Put us in a pot..."

Chen Qin chatted with Gu Wenjie, looked at the financial report on his mobile phone, and vaguely thought of something; of course, the pirated system can't be put on the table, if he really wants to get involved, his [-] million US dollars is somewhat not enough, and the sky is falling With a tall man on top, and a leading brother in front, there is really no need for him, a reborn primary school student, to spend extra money to promote pirated editions...

However, the so-called running around provokes bears. This theory is actually copied. It was originally called "Norvig's Theorem". It is not a forward-looking theory in itself. Speaking from experience afterwards.

The current Internet industry has reached this point - because it is impossible to continue to seek growth after 50%, so it must continue to expand horizontally. Of course, it is not cost-effective to provoke bears at this time. After all, the concept of "ecology" has just emerged. Many industry nodes that lack profits are no-man's lands without bears and other peers. This is the core of the Internet field that is most suitable for expansion.

However, the so-called "offending the bear" itself is unavoidable, not to mention that once you get close to those profitable nodes, the traditional interests entrenched nearby will have a very violent reaction, just like when you set foot in the music industry before. It will disturb the media and record companies that are now overbearing, and when it comes to those popular Internet services, it will provoke other colleagues...

But other than that, for the Internet industry, there are some fundamental and unavoidable places, almost everyone will pass through there, and will inevitably 'mess with the bear'...

After chatting for a few words, Gu Wenjie soon went back to have a meeting with the designers. Chen Qin looked out of the window and was lost in the rain. In the quiet room and on the balcony, the old man was hunched on a chair with a needle and thread, and he was sitting in front of the computer. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Until the door sounded, someone came in, and there was the sound of changing slippers in front of the door. Grandma Xu asked from the balcony: "Lingling is back!"

"Um!……"

The little girl entered the door covered in moisture, patted Chen Qin on the back with a "hi", threw a pack of biscuits on the table, and went out with the clothes on the bed.

Chen Qin looked twice unconsciously. The girl's straight and soft legs and ponytail swaying behind her disappeared from the door, and then went to the master bedroom to change clothes. When passing by the balcony, she seemed to take out another Bag of snacks: "Does grandma eat biscuits? Open your mouth~"

"what--"

The old man seemed very happy too. After eating the biscuits, she asked her if it was raining heavily on the way. Xu Lingling changed her clothes, said a few words to her grandma, went back to the bedroom, and closed the door.

"Do you want to eat it? The junior high school sister in class gave it to me today."

Chen Qin picked up the packaging bag, tore off the plastic, and ate the biscuits.

"By the way, Aqin, look at this."

The girl with a faint mint smell came over, and Xu Lingling showed him some photos: "That sister went to Jiuzhaigou this summer, and I gave him souvenirs, she gave me snacks and showed me her photos, you look……"

The photo was probably given to her by other girls who attended the hobby class with her. Xu Lingling's hair was hanging down from her sideburns. Chen Qin was a little absent-minded. After reading it, she didn't know what she was looking at. On the other side of the window, Chen Qin asked her: "You don't talk to anyone in class, why do you still give gifts to people in dance class?"

"Then what should I do? You don't want to dance together." Xu Lingling thought of something, and stood by the window and said to Chen Qin, "Well, there are boys who learn this, and there are boys who learn the folk dance next door, Aqin Do you want to try it too?"

Chen Qin shrank his neck, he didn't have time to make such a mess... By the way, what did he think of just now?

But Xu Lingling saw that he seemed to be very busy today, and she started talking more: "Speaking of which, Aqin, which school do we go to in junior high school? That sister is from Longshan No. [-] Middle School, and her home is also very close to mine. She said that we will She must also go to that middle school, and said that her family has a stationery store in front of Longshan No. [-] Middle School, and she can go there to find her in the future; but she asked me, and I said I didn't know..."

"Of course it's Longshan No. [-] Middle School." Chen Qin said as a matter of course. He went to Longshan No. [-] Middle School before he was reborn, and he misses the friends and teachers he didn't meet, and it's meaningless to go elsewhere.

"I thought you didn't read it."

Xu Lingling didn't know why, she opened the window halfway through her sentence, and the damp wind blew in.

Chen Qin was a little embarrassed, and coughed: "Then what will you do if I stop reading?"

"Of course I listen to you. I don't know how to do business or write songs."

The money you earn by yourself is enough for you to earn [-] a year... Chen Qin thought in this way, inexplicably recalling the thoughts just now, and his thoughts became broadened.

"Don't worry, let's continue to study. After all, we are still elementary school students, and the future still has a long way to go."

Xu Lingling just waited for his words, ran over and shook his arm and said, "Aqin, are you coming to dance? If you come, we can dance folk dances together. There are boys and girls like that If we dance together, then we can learn together, besides, this will also give you extra points in the future exams!"

"You also taught me to add points, look at your final exam results last semester..."

Boss Chen is a masculine man, and the company has not gone bankrupt, so of course he will not be reduced to going to learn dancing with a little girl, and then scolding her again; but Xu Lingling thought of the junior high school, and Chen Qin certainly thought of it, junior high... ...Although it will be another two years, it is almost the same. The fifth grade will start preparing for the quiz, and until then...

The rain that day stopped at night, but after returning home, Chen Qin also knew what to do.

Then autumn gradually came. On August 8, Google acquired a small company called Android. Compared with Getaien a few days ago, the market did not pay much attention to it.

On August 8, the Super Girl election ended. Li Yuchun won this year's Super Girl championship and appeared on the cover of Asia's "Time". Pen's seemingly forward-looking investment has dispelled the worries of the shareholders of Getai.com about its previous announcement that it would take the multimedia route.

On September 9th, the "Administrative Measures for Share Merger Reform of Listed Companies", which had a huge impact on the private enterprise market, was officially promulgated...

For any Chinese entrepreneur, 2005 is an inevitable year. This year is the first year of digital music and online social networking, but for Chinese entrepreneurs, this year is actually "the first year of Chinese entrepreneurship". , this document is the beginning of everything.

Of course, there have been early signs of the government’s shareholding split, and the share split itself has other meanings. For example, the complicated shareholding restructuring of bank shares was caused by this. Not a good idea—before this restructuring, all domestic listed companies in Tianchao were unable to cash out. The government doesn’t like speculation, and requires everyone to do business well. Just like our current boss Chen, he only regards the investment market as a means of financing channels, so the exit channels of the securities market were directly cut off.

The result is that the listed companies don't care about the stock price at all, they issue additional shares if necessary, and just drop if they don't need it. Now there are a lot of companies in the Tianchao stock market whose stock prices are below [-] yuan, and the capital raised is used for insider trading in a grandiose way. The companies making money in the stock market seem to be doing well, and they are also expanding their business scale after listing.

Although it will inevitably bring about a lot of bad habits in the capital market, it should indeed be a black cat that can only catch mice. Therefore, since the beginning of this year, the shareholding reform has begun to be piloted. After the announcement in September, the first reaction is Investment areas--

Since China's accession to the WTO, a large amount of foreign capital has poured into China. Because of the large gap between domestic and foreign economic bases, before the signing of the WTO, the news that foreigners bought houses in Yanjing on the street as a unit shocked the whole country.

This is of course a good thing. After all, the country has at least introduced foreign capital. Even if these assets are essentially sucking the blood of China's economic development, those small countries that have not survived the financial crisis in Southeast Asia will not even have such opportunities.

Later, the country began to vigorously develop foreign trade, and now the regional prosperity of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta has emerged because of this. Although it is still inevitable to do miscellaneous work in the mature foreign trade industry chain, it is better than directly selling high-quality assets for US dollars. some.

The shareholding restructuring is good for investors, that is to say, if the investment is successful, then the investor will have an institutionalized exit channel.

It is actually good for the government... Although this seems to be a move to package and sell Yanjing real estate for money, investment capital is one of the troikas that drive economic growth. Previously, this task was borne by banks, but with technology With development, the bank's financing system has been unable to work in most emerging fields that faced fierce competition from the very beginning. With exit channels, a large number of investment institutions will formally enter the Chinese market.

In order to promote this force and enable the economy to truly grow under this trend, the government has introduced quite a few measures to encourage entrepreneurship.

Of course, there are many measures at the legal level, such as this year's new company law, such as the relaxation of banks' policies on venture capital, such as the well-known "Opinions" on self-employed and non-public enterprises. In addition, in the media and service The training industry is also starting to provide some officially led environmental support.

Then... at the end of September, Yahoo and Microsoft announced data exchange, and it seemed that they intended to attack the Chinese communication giant Tencent. However, because Tencent's financial report became more and more healthy, and the popularity of the previously launched QQ space was very high, the stock price rose a lot against the current .At the same time, the lawsuit between Huawei and Cisco officially opened, and Huawei won a big victory.

On October 10th, Shenzhou-12 was successfully launched into the sky. At the same time, Changjiang University, China Europe Institute, Harvard University, and Spain's IESE Business School launched a four-week CEO class across the country.

Gu Wenjie, the boss of Kuaikan Media, has just launched "Three Kingdoms Online", and Weibo will also be launched soon, so it is the busiest time.

But he was dragged by Ma Yun to sign up there, because it was officially organized, and the MBA course these days is not a vanity fair for famous ladies to catch their own money. There are still a lot of real bosses. Supplemented by correspondence teaching, the main thing is to make contacts. Although everyone does not sit in the classroom together to attend classes, of course those in the same grade must meet for dinner, drinks, and a class reunion.

Ma Yun has just received investment from Yahoo recently, and he is very proud of himself. He has gradually recovered from the big battle last year. He likes to make contacts, and naturally he talks about it. He not only created a classmate address book on the spot, but also yelled I plan to hold a class reunion or something, and we can keep in touch in the future.

However, as an old friend and former follower, Gu Wenjie seems to be interested in other areas. He said that everyone can build an address book, which can be done on our website.

Traditional entrepreneurs are not interested in this kind of thing. Although experts and scholars who have heard high-spirited opinions on blogs are awesome, what can they write on it? Come out not.

But after that, Gu Wenjie mysteriously told their company that there was a new product, which was a social blog for the public or something...

Because he didn't speak very clearly, the older generation of entrepreneurs didn't pretend to talk to him - they were already impatient enough before, but this time they didn't even think about it, and Gu Wenjie encountered a lot of obstacles.

However, although most people can't see the upstarts who engage in the Internet, online advertisements are really delicious, and they are willing to make connections like Gu Wenjie.

So although I don't understand what his blog is doing, Gu Wenjie still got a lot of verbal promises like "I will join you when the time comes" because of the possibility of cooperation in the future, and the time gradually approached the end of the year , the upsurge of entrepreneurship is gradually surging, and the Internet industry is becoming more and more lively. Twitter... oh no, it should be that Crooked Neck is about to go online.
