Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 705 The Internet is a big piece of fat meat (1/2)

The lunch was very sumptuous, and the shareholders of Earth Network, big and small, enjoyed it very much.

After leaving Chinatown, we drove to the company's location together.

Liu Qingshan was in Silicon Valley for the first time, and it felt quite interesting.

In his imagination, such a high-end place would definitely be extremely prosperous, with tall buildings and elites everywhere.

In fact, sitting in the car all the way, it felt a bit like a rural area.

The vegetation was very lush, and there were not as many tall buildings as imagined. Maybe when the car turned a corner, in the shade of the trees, you could see the logo of an apple that someone had bitten.

There are also many giants in the Internet industry who don't know what they are doing now.

The headquarters of Earth Network is even more unsightly. It is just a two-story building, which looks quite solid.

There is no way, San Francisco is a famous earthquake zone.

The company's logo is quite eye-catching, and it is also from Liu Qingshan's creativity: a pair of hands holding a blue planet.

"The environment is nice."

Liu Qingshan took a deep breath and looked at the trees growing around him. He actually liked this place a little bit. It was better than all those reinforced concrete shells.

At least working in such a place, the air is fresh and beneficial to the body and mind.

When he entered the company, Liu Qingshan felt that the office conditions needed to be improved. At least they had to be equipped with decent computer chairs, so as not to make those employees who sat there typing code all day long crippled.

There were about 40 employees working in a large office with partitions, and basically each person was equipped with a computer.

Liu Qingshan paid attention and found that Chinese people accounted for nearly one-fifth of the employees.

Jiang Renyi clapped his hands to attract the attention of the employees:

"Everyone stop your work for a moment. I solemnly introduce you. This is the chairman of our Earth Network, Mr. Liu Qingshan!"

A low exclamation sounded, and then the employees began to applaud enthusiastically.

Although most of them saw Mr. Liu's true appearance for the first time, they still knew a little about him through TV or newspapers and other channels.

After all, Liu Qingshan is a celebrity here, especially in the past month or so, he has been in the limelight.

As for understanding through the Internet, well, Earth Network is the first portal website.

What about Yahoo, MSN, and the United States Online, all of them are gone.

That's right, Liu Qingshan's Earth Network, no matter how it develops in the future, must first grab the title of the world's number one.

So far, it has successfully grabbed two: the first company to set up a free mailbox and the world's first portal website.

The next goal is to be the first in the world to provide free antivirus software.

Liu Qingshan smiled and waved to the employees: "Good afternoon, everyone. Although this is our first meeting, I have already felt everyone's enthusiasm for work."

"Most of you here are young people, which makes me feel energetic. This is also completely in line with the sunrise industry of Internet technology companies. Let us work together and hold up Earth Network with our hands."

Liu Qingshan did not say too much. For an enterprise to form its own corporate culture, it also needs a process, and it is not something you can do with a few chicken soup.

As long as the Earth Network develops smoothly, the welfare benefits of employees continue to improve, and the stock reward mechanism stimulates, employees will naturally be of one mind with the company.

"Boss, take a look at our website first." Hunter was eager to show their greatest achievements.

Because in this era where paper media is still the main media, the creativity of the Earth Network portal website is indeed very alternative and of course very high-end.

At present, everyone thinks that the Internet is an emerging industry with an extremely bright future.

But how to develop in the future and what it can develop into, no one has a clear direction and goal.

It can be said that many companies are now in the trial and error stage, because it will also cause a waste of resources and even take a lot of detours.

More often, they find that they have entered a dead end, and then the company will naturally go bankrupt.

However, for Liu Qingshan, this problem does not exist. He can take the shortest way and successfully reach the correct nodes one by one.

As for the way to make money on the Internet, this is still under exploration.

The current situation is that everyone realizes that the Internet is a big piece of fat meat, but they just can't get it in their mouths, and they are jealous.

So most Internet companies are burning money.

Just like Earth.com, it sounds great, but in fact, the profit last year was only more than 500,000 US dollars, which is not enough to pay the company's employees.

However, after the listing and financing, the situation should be able to improve.

Yes, Internet companies like Earth.com are now considered good, at least they have a profit point, and most of them are losing money to gain publicity.

At this stage, it is a time of chaos and chaos. Many companies are entering Nasdaq to make money under the name of Internet technology companies.

At worst, after making money this time, they can change to another company to continue playing.

Of course, Liu Qingshan's Earth.com is ready to continue, and making money is not the main purpose.

Hunter led Liu Qingshan and others to a computer, and then turned on a small earth logo on the desktop. Next, they waited patiently.

At this time, you can't ask for too much Internet speed.

After finally entering the website, Liu Qingshan saw a long-lost scene:

The webpage was pulled open from top to bottom, bit by bit, just like there was a snail below, pulling it slowly.

That feeling reminded Liu Qingshan of the first time he went to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet. In order to see a picture, he had to wait for several minutes...

The page of the Earth Network is very clean and concise. It is not good if it is not concise. The Internet speed does not allow you to add too much content.

Textual things are better. If you want to put a few pictures in it, you have to wait patiently until the flowers are all withered.

The content of the Earth Network is mainly news at present, and there are not many news, only about a dozen.

Including several current affairs news, some from the United States and some from the world.

For example, there is a piece of world news: the Iran-Iraq War was officially declared over.

In addition, there is news about literature, art, sports, etc. Liu Qingshan saw a very interesting news, which is also the only news with pictures in the Earth Network.

In the picture, it is Liu Qingshan who is holding out his fist and greeting boxing champion Ali.

"Boss, of course we have to promote you on our own website." Hunter boasted proudly, probably because he was the one who posted the news.

The content of the news was that boxing champion Ali received acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatment.

Liu Qingshan clicked the mouse, and there was a very conspicuous link under the news, so he clicked it.

It was actually a comment area, or a small forum.

After registering on the Earth Network, you can speak and discuss and interact.

This was the most popular and most popular content at the beginning of the development of the Internet, after all, you can communicate with people thousands of miles away.

There were already more than 20 comments in it. Liu Qingshan took a look and saw that some wished Ali a recovery.

Of course, some people said that he was desperate and tried all kinds of treatments, questioning that Ali's brain was completely broken.

"Boss, I heard that you came up with this idea. It's really great. After reading the news, everyone wants to say something."

"Since the addition of this discussion function, more and more users have registered on our Earth Network. Now we have nearly 80,000 users in total!"

Hunter admires Liu Qingshan, not just because he is his boss. These technical people are actually very proud in their hearts.

If you want to impress them, you must either surpass them in technology or convince them with creativity.

As for 80,000 users, this is really a lot at the moment.

The servers purchased by Earth Network can only accommodate 100,000 users in total.

At this time, Executive Vice President Adrian interrupted and said, "Boss, we have collected some feedback from computer practitioners on Earth Network in the past few days."

"Most of them think that our Earth Network is too simple. Should we improve this aspect?"

This is also a common problem of Internet companies and companies now. Practitioners think that the Internet and computers should be high-tech and of course the more complex the better, so that they can be superior to those users.

It is this kind of superior attitude that makes many companies complicate simple problems, causing great trouble and distress to users, and they often enjoy it.

"Adrian, we don't need to listen to those people's opinions." Liu Qingshan looked around and saw that many people cast their eyes on him. Obviously, everyone had the same idea.

So he decided to change the employees' wrong thinking:

"Let's imagine that if we are ordinary users of computers, we don't have professional knowledge, right? It's even the first time we go online. We are the kind of computer novices who don't know anything."

"Hehe, computer novices, this term is very interesting." Hunter couldn't help but interjected.

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Yes, novices, if you are such a novices, you click on our Earth Network, if we set the webpage as a maze, you operate randomly, and you don't even see a piece of news, do you have the urge to curse?"

The employees in the office laughed, obviously agreeing with Liu Qingshan's statement.

"So the more concise and clear our Earth Network pages are, the better. Just like the link in this discussion area, if it is not obvious, it may be ignored, and naturally no one will click in to discuss."

Many employees began to nod. After thinking from the perspective of others, the logic became much clearer.

Liu Qingshan continued: "As computers enter homes, there are more and more computer novices. This requires that the simpler and more practical things designed by our developers are, the more acceptable they will be to people."

"Please remember that this is the general trend of the development of this industry. I hope everyone will not take detours!"

More than half of the employees began to nod, and the rest were also concentrating on thinking.

You know, the theory Liu Qingshan talked about is contrary to the mainstream at present.

Liu Qingshan casually clicked on the link of the free mailbox on the webpage and registered an email account casually. It took about a minute:

"Just like this mailbox, if the user took ten minutes to successfully register, and we now take one minute to register, which one will the user prefer?"

Everyone smiled, and the answer was naturally self-evident.

Liu Qingshan then continued: "So I remind everyone to consider the problem from the user's perspective."

"Just like the free mailboxes we launched, compared with the paid mailboxes, I don't need to tell you which ones users prefer to use, right?"

The employees nodded in unison: If there is an advantage, don't take advantage of it. This principle is applicable all over the world.

At this time, someone asked another question, this time it was Nathan, who likes music:

"Boss, but we give users free email. What's the benefit to us? We don't gain any income?"

Someone next to me immediately added: "And we obviously need to spend money to purchase large-capacity servers and other equipment."

How to make money is a big problem that plagues all Internet practitioners nowadays.

Liu Qingshan smiled and returned to the registered email page: "There is a text description here. If you want to use our email for free, you must agree to this agreement and allow the website to push emails to users."

Most of the people present are developers, and of course they know it best, but they have not yet understood the mystery.

Liu Qingshan paused and saw that everyone was still confused, so he continued to guide: "So, what emails will we push to users?"

Everyone present began to think. Suddenly, Executive Vice President Adrian's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Advertisement!"

Liu Qingshan cast an approving look at him: "Yes, it's an advertisement."

As soon as this was mentioned, everyone present also understood that they knew the money-making model of advertising.

But advertising on computers and the Internet has really refreshed their understanding.

"Oh, why didn't I expect that, boss, you are such a genius!" Hunter started to flatter him with excitement.

No, he was definitely not flattering, but he was truly conquered by this idea.

Others also looked at Liu Qingshan with a little more respect.

With such a leader, the future prospects of Earth Network will definitely be extremely bright.

"But, boss, will users be disgusted with advertisements?" Adrian considered the issue quite comprehensively.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "If you want to use your mailbox for free, you have to pay a small price after all. And for people who have just learned to use computers, they don't think advertisements are spam."

This principle is just like when you first started watching TV, even if there were advertisements, everyone would still watch it with gusto.

The most excited person is Adrian. In the past, he had been struggling to find a way to make money. Now, he can legitimately advertise.

Other employees are also very excited. Liu Qingshan's arrival has given them a clearer understanding of the future, at least clarifying the general direction of development.

Seeing that the people's support was available, Liu Qingshan clapped his hands again: "Everyone, our Earth Network is about to be launched. Everyone is a contributor. The company will not treat everyone who has contributed badly."

"So I announce that the first batch of Earth Network employees, that is, everyone here, will receive a certain amount of shares in the company!"

"Although some people may only get a few tenths or a few tenths of a share, everyone believes that when our Earth Network becomes a large company with a market value of billions or even tens of billions, how much value will be created by the shares in your hands."

When Liu Qingshan finished his announcement, the office immediately burst into cheers.

There seemed to be a stack of printing paper flying in the air.

March, early spring.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red rain of blood.

The city is in ruins and everything is withered. Collapsed houses can be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.

The streets that used to be bustling with people are now desolate.

The sandy dirt road that used to be bustling with people is no longer noisy now.

Only blood and mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper were left, indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck deep in the mud, full of sadness. Only an abandoned rabbit doll hung on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerieness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some residual resentment, looking lonely at the mottled rocks in front of them.

There, a figure was lying down.

This was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, his clothes were torn and covered with dirt, and he had a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The young man squinted his eyes and remained motionless. The biting cold penetrated his worn coat from all directions and spread throughout his body, gradually taking away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, he saw a skinny vulture gnawing on the carrion of a wild dog, seven or eight feet away from him, occasionally observing its surroundings vigilantly.
