Age of Dreams

In the Internet age, many unexpected super rich people are often created.

For example, a young man who just wanted to sell a pen he didn’t use, he founded EBAY; for example, he just built a photo sharing system, but it became a global Instagram; for example, because he often forgot to bring a USB flash drive, he wanted to invent A network synchronization storage tool, and finally this college student founded this cloud storage company named as the number one cloud storage giant with a valuation of tens of billions!

That's right.

After Yang Na’s reminder, Xiao Qicai remembered that yesterday when he heard that Huangfu Cai talked about the space expansion cost of WeChat, he had a vague idea in his mind, that is, a cloud that is cheaper, more unlimited, and unlimited Storage tools.

In the original past life history, there is such a ready-made example, which was founded by Andrew Houston!

Founded in 2007, under the siege of cloud storage giants such as Microsoft, Apple, etc., it was able to break through. The giant that has always occupied the number one market share of cloud storage is absolutely outstanding in ability and marketing methods.

Compared with the intelligent electronic cloud storage of WeChat, the main sphere of influence of cloud storage is on the computer terminal. In fact, it is adhering to the concept founded by Houston, which is a removable U disk.

As long as you set a designated storage folder through the downloaded program, the files you store into this storage folder will be synchronized and uploaded to the cloud storage database. When you change a computer, then you only need to use it again Log in through the account, you can transfer the files stored in the cloud storage to this new computer.

If this concept was said in 2013, you would definitely say, "Damn. Isn't this the 360 ​​cloud folder?"

But now it is 2008. The concept of cloud storage in Europe and the United States has only slowly begun to develop. It is far from being popular in the world. Of course, China has no influence at all.

The advantage is that it is software running on a computer, whether it is or an operating system. It can be used. It does not involve exclusive personal account secrets, nor does it involve the privacy of WeChat personal space. The privacy of all folders belongs to individuals and does not conflict with the operating system.

To put it simply. That is, any computer user can use it, not only for any purpose, but also for files, videos, letters, etc., and it doesn’t have to be like WeChat, which cannot be disclosed to everyone.

Popularization of the public, this is the biggest advantage of a program, it has it. So later it became popular and became the number one in the world.

Of course, no company is perfect. Apple, known as the "miracle in the history of the smart electronics industry," quickly declined after the leader of Qiao left, and was gradually caught up by Samsung. This is a clear proof.

In the second half of 2013. The huge lead has gradually disappeared. Regardless of user experience, price compliance, upload and download speeds, those with strong technical backing and Microsoft have all caught up, and within a year or two, there will be no problems.

The reason, Xiao Qi thinks, is that it has always been a small business, always thinking about saving, saving and then saving, with the smallest price to get the greatest gain.

But I don't know at all. After entering 2010, when the financial crisis eased, the world changed.

Everything has become a world respected by capital.

Whether it is Microsoft, Apple, or even other giant companies. They are all through large-scale capital entry, directly using their own competitors and potential companies to spend money, and gradually form a real monopoly of the industry.

In this case, how can such a small-capital company have the power to fight against them?

People can use better equipment, lower prices, and more adequate services to fight against you, because they have money, but you don’t, so in the end they are either squeezed out of the market, or acquired by a powerful opponent. There is also no third result.

However, now that Xiao Qi thinks of this cloud storage business, there is nothing wrong with it. In the future, Microsoft and Apple will never be able to surpass the cloud storage company of Fairy Company.

Wait a minute!

Doesn't Fairy Company already have cloud computing and cloud storage, or even WeChat cloud storage space?

Why build another one? Isn't that a waste?

In fact, it is different. Just as Xiao Qi thought before, the previous cloud computing and cloud storage are all specifically for a certain product program, and the new cloud storage space company is a very simple U disk and hard disk function. , And it is aimed at computer users, it is completely different, there is no problem of duplication of functions at all.

Even Xiao Qi doesn't need to find the Andrew Houston who founded it. As long as Hoffman finds a group of experts in related industries in Silicon Valley, combined with his own ideas, then the cloud storage company can be successfully set up.

To say that Xiao Qi now thinks that his most capable subordinate should be Mr. Hoffman. He has helped him establish three companies, and now there is another company to be established, and there will be many more in the future.

Although Xiao Qi wants to give him some shares, Hoffman’s contacts in Silicon Valley can ensure that he can invite the most professional talents to Xiao Qi’s company, which not only greatly reduces the time spent in the middle of the toss, but also It can make the company better run-in and quickly grow into an eye-catching large company.

With this plan, after Xiao Qi separated from Yang Na, he just returned to Jia Yuwen's apartment and called Hoffman.

"Oh, **** it! Xiao Qi, don't you know that it is 22 o'clock in American Western Time? I'm all asleep!" Hoffman roared like this after calling.

There is a 16-hour difference between Western Time in the United States and the capital time on the west side. But New York, which is a thousand kilometers eastward, is now past 1:00 in the morning. The left and right sides of Silicon Valley have reached tomorrow, but it has Even today, this kind of wonderful time zone division is really fascinating.

Xiao Qi smiled, "Reid, it's so early, don't rush to exercise with your wife, I'll talk to you about business!"

"If you have something, can you call during the day?" Hoffman mumbled and complained: "You don't know how tired I am for your three companies in the past few months. I have lost 20 pounds! My wife has I want to send you an email, thank you for your contribution to our family!"

"Or you can give me a bottle of red wine as a thank you gift." Xiao Qi laughed, and then said: "Well, don't complain, don't you thank me for increasing your wealth by at least several hundred million dollars?"

"Both companies are still developing and have not yet launched. The money is just a number and cannot be realized." Hoffman said with disdain, but the joy in his tone can still be felt.

"I have another new idea."

Xiao Qi didn't care whether he got cheap or sold well, so he told Hoffman about the idea of ​​the cloud storage company.

Hoffman deserves to be the most informed person in Silicon Valley, and he immediately smiled and said, "Isn't this the company's idea? You want to make money on this simple cloud storage?"

The company is still a small company, but their ideas are very interesting. There are many angel funds in Silicon Valley that have taken a fancy to them, and there are already two investments.

"What the company picks up is my cloud computing and cloud storage idea, why don't you say it?" Xiao Qi shrugged and said, "In short, I think this method of relying on expansion of space charges is definitely very profitable. Because this kind of portable The huge hard disk space is exactly in line with people’s business and travel life nowadays."

"Well, since you have this meaning, then do it." Hoffman groaned and gave his opinion.

Anyway, Xiao Qi has money and some creativity.

It's strange that a smart person like this has the most personal wealth in the world.

Anyway, it’s all from Xiao Qi~www.readwn.com~ He helped find a suitable professional manager, and then the company started to officially open and do business, and in the end, it depends on the market’s performance and people’s acceptance. degree.

"Reid, do you want to buy some shares?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in this." Hoffman said, "What's more, I still have so many company affairs to be busy with... I found that since I met you, I really haven't rested. Next time I go to China, if you don’t treat me well, I'm really sorry for my hard work!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qi sat lazily on the sofa.

This cloud storage company named "" by Xiao Qi has to spend more money in the initial stage, and build a cloud storage architecture faster, so that it can quickly occupy the entire market.

The last thing Xiao Qi lacks is money. The investment of just one or two billion dollars is really nothing.

The confidence to have money is different! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote recommended votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to read.)
