Reboot 2003

Chapter 97 004: Galaxy Software

With all kinds of beautiful fantasies, Mr. Chen, who had just been promoted to the chairman, sat down in his office, turned on the computer, and logged in to msn. The information from the accounting company had just been sent.

Last month's financial statement is very simple, with a monthly expenditure of 33 yuan, most of which are equipment purchases, a small part is salary expenses, and some miscellaneous expenses.

No funds have been credited.

It is foreseeable that this month's expenditure is also similar. Although the cost of purchasing equipment and equipment is reduced, but there are more operating and investment expenditures, the deficit will inevitably become larger and larger.

Chen Qin, the boss, took a look at the file and closed the file, but the news from Sun Xiaomei, his confidant, had already arrived: "Mr. Chen, are you here yet? Is the meeting still open at 4 o'clock? How long will it take?"

"Go, you should debug the equipment first."

Chen Qin replied, he was stunned for a while in front of the computer, and took a sip of lemon tea.

What are you going to say at today's meeting?

Sun Xiaomei's ID has been changed to 'Galaxy Software-Sun Xiaomei', she is quite modest-now Chen Qin's company has been established, although Sun Xiaomei is not listed on the ID, but she is the veteran of the work number 001, and also the legal person and CEO.

Of course, he is no longer a powerful CEO like Gu Wenjie.

After New Year's Day, Chen Qin registered 'Shencheng Galaxy Software Technology Co., Ltd.'.

Among them, Shencheng is an administrative division. Although Chen Qin has never been there, this company is located in Lujiazui, Shencheng, and the government has approved a rent-free office building.

'Software technology' is an industry logo. In order to avoid competition in the same industry, coupled with the company's strategic planning, it chose the track of software technology.

'Limited company' is the form of organization, which means that the shareholders have only limited liability for the company's debts, which requires the company not to be a sole proprietorship.

Of course, this rule is just talk, now 99.9% of the company's equity is held by Chen Qin's shell company, and 0.1% belongs to the legal person; this equity was originally assigned to Xu, but Xu recently resigned from Galaxy Software, so this task finally fell to Sun Xiaomei.

Sun Xiaomei was the intern recruited by Lao Xu at the beginning, she is a big girl from Northeast China, although her abilities are limited, she is certainly far behind Gu Wenjie, and also much worse than Lao Xu.

But this big girl is a nice person, and she is very clear about her position, just being a white glove is enough.

As for the name 'Galaxy'...

is from the project.

After several rounds of discussions, the trademarks of the previous browser and input method were finally decided to be 'Galaxy' by the programmers. On the one hand, the domain name xingxi is very good. It is a common word with a sense of technology, which is in line with the language habits of the Chinese people, and it is in line with the meaning of product ecology, and closely fits with the company's strategy...

In short, everyone discussed it and thought it was very good, so the name of the company and the name of the trademark were also registered as this.

When it was first established, the company had only five people.

Among them, the eldest sister Xiaosun is an errand runner and Chen Qin's confidant, and the financial and tax affairs are outsourced to an accounting company, and the remaining four are programmers from Kuaikan Media's R&D department.

Then Sun Xiaomei started recruiting.

Although everything is easy to do with money, but the current business demand is not high...

So don't waste too much money.

In short, the goal is still to cultivate the core team. Sun Xiaomei has recruited enough people and expanded the company to more than a dozen people, most of whom are programmers. Next, they are going to participate in this year’s school recruitment. This is also the condition for living in a rent-free office building.

Chen Qin, an honest elementary school student, of course likes this kind of place the most.

But now there are people, places, and money...

Then you can start doing business. After all, the company really has nothing else to discuss.

Thinking of this, Chen Qin entered his official website xingxi.com and took a look.

In the past two months, the company's first two products have been launched one after another.

Now their download links hang on the homepage——

Galaxy Smart Browser.

Galaxy smart input method.

The browser is a third-party browser that uses Apple's webkit core. It not only has favorites and the popular multi-tab page function, but also the company's exclusive patent-dual-core engine technology.

It is faster when visiting some basic websites, and can switch to compatibility mode when there are compatibility problems.

Although it is not stable yet...

However, the software is still being updated, and most of the problems will be resolved in version 2.0 next month.

In addition, 2.0 will also launch some security features.

This can filter out browser rogue plug-ins and prevent the browser home page from being tampered with.

Galaxy Browser is currently the main product of Galaxy software. Relatively speaking, 'Galaxy Smart Input Method' is relatively simple.

But ordinary does not mean mediocre, it is an intelligent Chinese input method based on Internet technology.

At present, some more complex and fancy functions—such as input method skins, picture or expression input, and cell thesaurus—haven’t been compiled yet, but the most basic automatic memory ability has come out.

In addition, Chen Qin and Zhang Tong of Google Tianchao obtained authorization and connected to a Google API interface.

It can use Google's search bar association function to directly generate phrases in the cloud. It can be regarded as a prototype of a cloud thesaurus, and a server is built as a cloud thesaurus, so that the input method can improve the thesaurus by itself, which is convenient for subsequent updates.

then……

And is it over?
of course not.

Just as Monopoly thought, now is no longer the era of honestly running a business, making profits, and then using the profits to expand the scale of production, and then extracting surplus value from the business.

Although such capitalists are already very bad, but now it is the 21st century, and this kind of honest and responsible organizational production model is being eliminated.

Of course, it is not necessary to find a huge number of investors, or make a bunch of dazzling financial statements for listing, and pull the debt ratio to several thousand percent...

However, there are indeed some ideas that can be used now, which are very unfamiliar to ordinary entrepreneurs, but they are real shortcuts to entrepreneurship.

And today's meeting is to talk about this, Chen Qin also remembered.

Just at this time, the preparations for the meeting are almost ready...

It is said that it is a meeting, but it is actually an online exchange of work progress. Who made Chen Qin just a primary school student?They can only communicate once every two or three days, and then hand over the specific development work to Chang You and Zhao Shiqiang. In addition, Sun Xiaomei, the nominal CEO, can also be responsible for supervision, and the company's personnel personnel are responsible for checking attendance.

But Chang You and Zhao Shiqiang are really reliable. After two months, their work efficiency is very high, and basically nothing happened.

Now he is not only continuing to preside over the development of browsers and input methods, but also helping Chen Qin with other tasks.

"Mr. Chen, the audio-visual side is almost done. In fact, there are not many parts of the project that need to be optimized. The ui update will be done tomorrow. If there is no problem, it will go online directly as planned."

"Mr. Chen, Xiao Lu from the legal department has already set off to Canada to sign the contract. Today, Xiao Wang and I went to learn about the program in advance with that person. His program is actually quite simple. The only problem is that some materials in the interface library have copyright issues. Take a look at this form..."

Because the company meeting is not very particular, there are more than a dozen small screen windows in the meeting column, some people are at home, and some people are in the company. Now Galaxy Company is purely a programmer company. Everyone’s job is to develop software, and the boss Chen Qin is even more heavyweight. Today, he didn’t turn on the camera at all.

But no one thought there was a problem.

Everyone knows that the boss, Chen Aotian, is an industry leader. It is said that he is one of the founders of Kuaikan Media and the author of the Kuaikan platform.

Meeting with them on weekdays is not to make demands from the role of the boss, but more to explain the design ideas to them in the tone of a product manager. His ideas are very clear, and UI interaction and product logic are considered in every aspect.

Good-end software development is the same as outsourced coders. Programmers are of course happy and relaxed, and they are very satisfied with their current work content.

Of course, the most intense development work has passed. Now Kuaikan Media has launched two products. Although it will continue to be updated, the construction period is not so tight.

Today Zhao Shiqiang and Chang You are talking about another issue, actually two acquisition cases——

And this is an important development direction of Galaxy Software at present, that is mergers and acquisitions...

Although there is no financial operation plan at present, mergers and acquisitions are undoubtedly a shortcut for the rapid development of modern enterprises. This kind of business behavior has not been popular for a long time. It first appeared in the Wall Street banking circle in the 80s, and later spread to other industries. If a company wants to expand and expand its business rapidly in a short period of time, mergers and acquisitions are a simple and effective means.

Of course, the reason why mergers and acquisitions are useful depends on some financial tools that have also become popular during this period. Most of the time, it is still a bit of a loss to use your own money to acquire other companies.

Chen Qin has no plans to raise funds on a large scale now, and can't get a loan for a while, so he can only use his own money to buy it.

Fortunately, he is a reborn person, and he bought those valuable items in advance without spending any money...

For example, the project Chang You mentioned just now is called Baofengyingyin.

Its maker is Zhou Peng, and he made it together with two female apprentices. It is just on the road now, and the main one is easy to use.

What Zhao Shiqiang was talking about was a downloading software called Flashget, also known as Internet Express, which is the most popular downloading software nowadays.The developer's name is Hou Yanchen, a Canadian Chinese. Recently, Chen Qin contacted this person and wanted to buy his software...

In addition, Chen Qin also took a fancy to Zheng Nanling's Qianqianjingting, and a decompression software 'Yaobao'. They haven't started formal talks yet, but they are already in the company's acquisition plan.
