The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 216 Seize the first shot in the market [Please order for complete data]

After talking to Ma Huateng, Zhang Zhipeng had a discussion with the main middle-level leaders and technical backbones of Penguin Company.

This is mostly meant to be inspiring.

Today, Shenzhen is the most dynamic city in China.

Various start-ups are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

As the Internet speeds up and becomes more popular across the country, Internet users are increasing.

Many investors and entrepreneurs have also seen opportunities in the Internet industry, so they have begun to enter the market.

In this process, many returnees will return home to start their own businesses with the venture capital they received from Aramco.

The increase in startup companies means fierce competition for talent.

Now Penguin has become a benchmark enterprise among Chinese Internet companies.

Naturally, there will be many start-up companies looking to poach people.

Moreover, the number of investors entering the market to establish instant messaging software companies is also increasing.

Therefore, Zhang Zhipeng naturally requires stable talents now.

If you want to keep talents stable, you must give them enough benefits.

These days, it is no longer useful to talk to people about your feelings.

Therefore, when Zhang Zhipeng held a meeting, he told the key personnel of Penguin that their wages would be at least 30% higher than those in the same industry.

Moreover, they will also receive dividend stocks from the company. As the company develops, their income in the future will be higher than that of employees of first-tier Internet companies in Europe and the United States.

After discussing salary and benefits, Zhang Zhipeng also took advantage of the situation to discuss the company's future development plan.

The first long-term goal he mentioned is: to make Penguin the largest Internet company in the world within five years, to make Penguin users all over the world, and to make Penguin QQ a global social software.

He said to the backbone of Penguin: "Everyone will be a prince in the future. Our market is not only the billions in China, we also have to keep an eye on the billions of people abroad."

"As long as our software becomes world-class, then we will firmly hold the traffic entrance of the Internet in our hands."

"By that time, we will be successful in anything we do..."

I have to say that Zhang Zhipeng is still very motivating. After he held the meeting, the morale of Penguin Company was directly inspired to the highest point.

After the meeting, Zhang Zhipeng also had a meal with everyone, showing his approachability.

When leaving Penguin Company, Zhang Zhipeng told Huateng that in the near future, a large number of outstanding talents would be recruited to prepare for the company's business expansion.

Later, Zhang Zhipeng went to Warwick Company.

With the efforts of Warwick Company in mobile communications, Warwick Company has now become a benchmark large enterprise in Shenzhen.

Its current number of employees has increased to over 20.

Its factories are spread throughout Shenzhen.

It has begun building its own Warwick Building and supporting housing for Warwick Company employees.

In short, in one sentence: Today's Warwick is on the rise and has become a high-tech company that China's outstanding talents aspire to.

Before Zhang Zhipeng went to Warwick Company, he had naturally called Ren Zhengfei.

When his car arrived at the current headquarters of Warwick, Ren Zhengfei was already there to greet him.

Seeing Zhang Zhipeng, Ren Zhengfei smiled and shook hands with him. However, Zhang Zhipeng still felt that Ren Zhengfei seemed to be in a bad mood.

When they arrived at Ren Zhengfei's office, Zhang Zhipeng smiled and asked, "Comrade Zhengfei, did something happen to you?"

Ren Zhengfei was surprised: "Comrade Zhipeng saw this?"

"Oh! It's not a big deal!"

"Someone from a securities company just called and wanted to list our Warwick company."

"Moreover, it also has a bit of a coercive feel."

"I just wondered, isn't the purpose of going public to raise funds?"

"We are not short of money, so why go public?"

"Should we let interested people acquire the company's shares and seize the company as their own?"

"I have said many times that the company belongs to all employees, the country and the nation."

"We must not allow some unkind capital to take advantage of the loopholes."

It turned out to be the case.

Not to mention Huawei, even Loongson and Huaxing are actually under great pressure.

Some people want to promote high-quality companies to go public to enhance their appearance.

However, Zhang Zhipeng is also very uninterested in the stock market.

Because, after all, the stock market is actually a place where you can make money.

Originally, the stock market was a place to raise funds.

The listing of a company can indeed bring some high-quality funds to the company.

However, with the financial chaebol, everything is different.

The stock market has been made like a roller coaster by various artificial means. Some people directly regard the stock market as a leek field.

Not only the investors who speculate in stocks are leeks, but even the listed companies are leeks.

Therefore, companies that operate well and are not short of money at all do not need to list their companies at all.

"Yes! Comrade Zhengfei said it very well."

"It coincides with me."

"From now on, all companies in our series will not be listed on the market!"

"We don't play with those vain things!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile.

After talking about this little episode, the two began to talk about formal work.

In fact, Zhang Zhipeng also knows all the big and small affairs of Warwick Company.

Because he led the establishment of a huge internal network database.

As long as it is a company that he invests in or leads, the company's documents and information must be uploaded to the database in categories.

Zhang Zhipeng can access data and files anywhere.

Warwick Company now basically dominates the development of the world's 2G mobile communication network.

It has become the world's largest communications equipment supplier.

More than 50% of the world's market share is now gradually in the hands of Warwick Corporation.

Its consumer business, that is, mobile phones and other products, is now booming and has begun to sell well all over the world.

It is now building mobile networks for various countries while selling its own mobile phone products.

Warwick's products are becoming more and more popular all over the world.

At the same time, its ADSL network broadband business has also begun to go abroad and develop to many countries around the world.

Today, it is a peak period for the development of the Internet around the world.

What Zhang Zhipeng wants to talk to Ren Zhengfei is also about how to go out better.

We must help third world countries accelerate the development of the Internet. Likewise, we must try our best to quickly enter the markets of developed countries in Europe and the United States.

Ren Zhengfei told Zhang Zhipeng: In terms of Internet equipment, Huawei is also accelerating the pace of cooperation with countries around the world. Similarly, countries around the world, whether developed or developing countries, also welcome Huawei's Internet equipment.

After all, Warwick's products are not only easy to use but also very reasonably priced.

Zhang Zhipeng is very satisfied with Ren Zhengfei.

He is worthy of being one of the best entrepreneurs in the country. Both his management capabilities and his strategic vision for corporate development are world-class.

No wonder he was able to lead Warwick Company to achieve so many great development miracles in his previous life.

In previous lives, after the domestic economic development was dominated by the market economy, a large number of private enterprises developed in the country.

Many of them are very large in scale.

However, very few of the leaders of these companies can be called entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs are not only good at management and able to make enterprises bigger and stronger, but more importantly, they have a sense of social responsibility, national justice and feelings for their country.

They do business not only for their own glory and wealth, but they also deeply understand that doing business is to strengthen the country and enrich the people.

When an enterprise becomes bigger and stronger, it is no longer in the hands of one person or one family. It has to shoulder the burden of the country and the expectations of the people.

Only those enterprises that live up to the country and the people can be respected and cared for by the people.

Only such business owners can be called entrepreneurs!
As for those who are only interested in making money for themselves and are mean and unkind, they are just capitalists.

Ren Zhengfei is a true entrepreneur.

Moreover, he is a great entrepreneur.

Zhang Zhipeng feels that he does not need to pay special attention to the development of Warwick Company in the future.

With Ren Zhengfei here, he will definitely be able to do everything beautifully.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was late October 1998.

In 1998, it was the time when Ameijia’s Internet entrepreneurship was in full swing.

This year, many great companies were founded.

For example: Google.

Google was founded in September 1998.

After this company was founded, it developed rapidly. In just two or three years, it monopolized more than half of the world's Internet search engine market share and became a giant-level monster.

On October 10st, Page, one of the founders of Google, was reading the newspaper in his office.

He read the New York Times.

Page is now full of ambition and high in fighting spirit.

The Google company he co-founded has been favored by the big guys in Huaer Street and received a lot of investment.

With these investments, he can roll up his sleeves and go big.

He felt that success was already beckoning to him.

Page was reading the newspaper and drinking coffee.

At this time, he saw a recruitment notice.

This recruitment notice was posted by a company called penguin.

They are all recruiting network engineers and the like.

The main business of the company they want to create is called KK chat software.

Peppa Pig thought, this is interesting.

The other party wants to develop Internet social software.

At this time, Internet social networking was actually very popular in Ami.

The famous Aramco Online and Yahoo.com all have their own online chat rooms. Online chatting is very popular.

In addition, ICQ, a chat software, is also very popular and is popular all over the world.

Internet social networking is recognized as the three major mainstream traffic entrances on the Internet, and it is the most important entrance.

Page and his partner Brin also thought about doing social networking.

However, the competition in the social networking area is too fierce, and the chat rooms of major portals attract the vast majority of Internet users.

If you compete with them, as a new entrepreneur, the possibility of success is very small.

It is for this reason that Page and the others chose the search engine business. They have also made a lot of algorithm innovations in this area.

After the business was launched, the response was very good.

Page doesn't know where this Penguin company comes from, but he dares to touch the social aspect, which is really tough.

He was looking at the recruitment notice and thinking about it when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Jingle Bell--"

Page reached out, grabbed the phone, and put it to her ear.

"hello!"

"Hello, I am the head of Penguin's promotion department. My name is Robin Lee. I would like to talk to you about advertising." A very magnetic voice came from the phone.

Paige smiled.

This is really amazing.

I was looking at the recruitment notice of Penguin Company, and then someone from Penguin Company called me.

"Aha! You want to place ads on our software page? Welcome, welcome!"

Paige said with a smile.

Although Google has only just been established, it has received great popularity since its launch, and the number of people using Google to search is increasing rapidly.

But within a month, it has already surpassed Yahoo search.

That's right, Yahoo not only makes a portal, it also makes a search engine.

At this time, Yahoo was a well-deserved Internet giant.

The market capitalization is also the highest.

Yahoo's market value has reached nearly 2000 billion U.S. dollars at this time.

They also do a lot of business.

Among them, the search engine only does it incidentally, and its purpose is only to serve Yahoo users.

Yahoo didn't pay much attention to this business at that time.

Page and another founder of Google were both employees of Yahoo and worked on the search engine for Yahoo.

These two geniuses are very powerful in this area.

They are eager to get the attention of Yahoo executives.

But, unfortunately, they got no response.

So Page and Brin jumped out and did a Google search.

It received investment from the big boss of Huaer Street and developed rapidly.

Nowadays, almost everyone who surfs the Internet knows that Google is the best way to search online.

Google's popularity has been established in a short period of time.

However, their advertising business is not doing very well right now.

After all, this has just opened, and advertisers haven’t paid attention to them yet.

Today, the most profitable website for Internet advertising is definitely Yahoo.

Page really didn't expect that the newly established Penguin Company would take the initiative to find him and want to advertise with him. This was a great thing.

Page arranged a meeting time with Robin Lee on the phone.

They planned to meet in the morning of the next day to discuss in-depth cooperation.

Robin Li put down the phone and stretched out his tie, still feeling a little bit unwilling.

Robin Li, whose real name is Li Yanhong, was a graduate of Peking University.

After graduating from my undergraduate degree, I came to the United States to study. After getting a master's degree, I stayed here to work.

However, he has a restless heart.

He is not willing to work for others all his life.

He hopes to start his own business.

After graduating with a master's degree, he worked as a consultant at Oracle for a period of time.

At the beginning of this year, he wanted to return to China to start a business.

He originally thought that in China, Internet entrepreneurship must still be a blue ocean, and he could let him run freely.

He originally wanted to start a business in search engines.

However, after returning home, he discovered that domestic search engine companies had sprung up, and there were several of them.

Moreover, the largest company is called Qiandu Search, and its business is very good. The sub-business sections have opened encyclopedia, know-how, Q&A, search questions, library, Tieba, etc. It can be said that it is doing very well and has occupied the vast majority of China's market. part of the market.

What shocked Li Yanhong was that Qiandu Search obviously coincided with many of his ideas and creativity.

They did it even more perfectly than he planned.

Tieba, for example, has become the largest Chinese community. All Internet users have gathered here to set up different forums to criticize and criticize, and it is very lively.

The two areas of encyclopedia and knowledge are also very complete.

What does this mean?
It shows that they have invested heavily and operated meticulously.

Without huge investment, it would be impossible to build an encyclopedia and knowledge of so many terms in such a short period of time to make searches more accurate.

Li Yanhong thought about it again and again. He felt that if he failed to attract investment, he might not be able to compete with the other party.

Since you can't fight, then just don't waste your efforts.

Li Yanhong actually thought about many other entrepreneurial ideas, but he finally found that Hua already had everything he could think of, and they were doing quite well.

There was no other way, Li Yanhong could only return to Ami.

After returning, he continued to work at Oracle.

He worked like this until late September this year, when he suddenly received a call from a headhunter asking if he would like to change jobs to a company called Penguin.

Li Yanhong heard the conditions promised by the other party and thought they were pretty good.

So, he met with the head of Penguin Company.

The person in charge is named Tian Hongtao, a Chinese.

Tian Hongtao did not hide it from Li Yanhong and told him that KK Chat was actually the Penguin chat software in China.

KK Chat is here to seize Ami’s social software market this time.

If Li Yanhong is willing to join, he will become one of the founders.

Tian Hongtao told Li Yanhong that instead of working for foreigners, why not work hard with his compatriots.

As long as Li Yanhong does well in the future, even KK chat can be controlled by him in the future.

Li Yanhong actually did not do well at Oracle.

He felt discriminated against at work, and there was basically no room for advancement.

So why not give Penguin North America a try?

So, Li Yanhong changed jobs and came to Penguin Company.

He has only been working for more than 20 days.

But it was such a short period of time that allowed him to see the strong development potential of Penguin North America.

The company is really powerful. It rented the best office building in San Francisco from the beginning, and rented the entire floor.

The servers are also ready.

All are top-notch servers, and they are distributed across the United States.

This was the beginning of a big fight.

After Li Yanhong arrived, he did several pieces of work.

This includes promotion.

He took the initiative to get in touch with Google and agreed to discuss advertising cooperation.

Li Yanhong decided to talk to CEO Tian Hongtao: Is it a bit too thin to just promote on Google?

It needs to be promoted on mainstream Internet portals anyway, right?
At this time, Tian Hongtao was also busy nervously in his office.

Tian Hongtao felt that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders.

He has been doing management work at Loongson Company before.

Then, Zhang Zhipeng suddenly gave him a task: let him go to Aramco to develop the social software market and turn Penguin Chat into the most powerful online chat software in North America.

Tian Hongtao could be regarded as taking orders in the face of danger.

Zhang Zhipeng had an in-depth talk with Tian Hongtao before he came to establish the North American company.

The core of the conversation was to fight high and make Penguin Chat a popular software in the North American market in the shortest possible time.

Zhang Zhipeng told Tian Hongtao at that time: "This time I am just asking you to go on a short trip. I will ask you to come back after the company is officially operational and on track."

"Brother Hong Tao, this can be considered a training for you."

"I hope you can complete your mission successfully."

Tian Hongtao naturally patted his chest and said: He will complete the task successfully.

So far, things are looking pretty good.

Tian Hongtao thought to himself that our software has many advantages in North America.

Compared with ICQ, Penguin's chat software is more user-friendly and user-friendly.

For example: ICQ software, which is currently popular in North America and even around the world, makes it difficult to search and add friends.

Adding friends to chat is only temporary, and the added friends will not be retained for the user. If you change the computer, they will be cleared.

Chat history will not be retained and will be gone after you log off.

This kind of chat experience is very bad.

Moreover, ICQ is unstable and can easily collapse.

This is also the main reason why it did not develop around the world later.

The software made by Chinese people really lags behind these North American software companies in many aspects.

Software companies here in North America basically only make one software for each idea. Chatting is chatting, posting to Moments is posting to Moments, and sending short messages is just sending short messages.

Huaguo people, on the other hand, pay attention to comprehensiveness and efficiency, bringing users a more convenient one-stop application experience.

Tian Hongtao felt that he had overestimated his competitors before coming to the United States.

In fact, Penguin Chat is probably the most useful instant messaging software in the world.

With such a good product, it would be weird if it didn’t succeed, right?

Li Yanhong knocked on the door and came in. He smiled and said to Tian Hongtao: "Mr. Tian, ​​I have already talked with Google. We will meet tomorrow morning to discuss cooperation."

"However, I'm wondering, if we only advertise on search engines like Google, isn't the spread too narrow?"

"Actually, right now, the most influential website here in the United States is Yahoo."

"We only need to hang a banner on Yahoo's homepage, and within two days, all Internet users will know about our software."

Tian Hongtao smiled and said: "Actually, Google's communication coverage is not narrow."

"Now, here in Damili, anyone who wants to search on the Internet will click on Google to search. We only need to place an advertisement on the homepage of Google, and within a day, many people will download and use our software."

"Then, those who have used it will automatically promote it to us."

The next day, Li Yanhong went to see Page.

PS: Here’s today’s update. Thank you to all the guys who have been supporting me. Please continue to give me motivation.
