Start earning money as the girl next door

Someone from Alibaba publicly said in an internal forum that senior management should be wary of Taobao and must eliminate this potential competitor.

Then, Jack Ma personally came forward to explain that Taobao was an internal incubation project of Alibaba.Ali employees discovered that a flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple.

In the first few months of Taobao's launch in 2003, the initial website traffic was not very large, and the number of sellers was even smaller, mainly through user use and feedback.Discover various problems and improve them step by step.

For example, after Taobao went online, it was discovered that there was a lack of mutual trust between sellers and buyers, and the cost of trust was high. This was the reason for the sparse initial transaction volume.

So, in October 2003, Alipay was launched.The money placed by the consumer is first frozen in the Alipay third-party account. The merchant can only receive the money after receiving the goods and clicking Confirm.

Once this third-party payment tool was launched, the entire Taobao transaction volume began to rise rapidly.

In essence, the current Taobao is not powerful yet, but e-commerce and payment, these two important infrastructures, have been built, and everything is ready. All it takes is burning money.

Around the beginning of 2004, Alibaba raised more than $8000 million in financing for the Taobao project.Then, Taobao began to accelerate its money burning and challenge eBay.

I worked until 2006, completely surpassing eBay and becoming the new leader in China's e-commerce market.

Then, Alibaba, which became the overlord of e-commerce, also began to defend the ring.JD.com, Pinduoduo, Douyin, and Kuaishou are all eyeing the e-commerce market and using their own methods to encroach on Alibaba’s share.

At the beginning, Alibaba was invincible after defeating eBay.But because he had been invincible for a long time, he didn't pay much attention to the actions of some little ants. As a result, those little ants gradually became a threat to Ali.

The e-commerce landscape in the future will also be exciting. To use the words of the Three Kingdoms to describe it, if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide.

Zhao Han doesn’t like Taobao too much in the future, but Taobao now is indeed a good thing, both for merchants and consumers!

In the early days of Taobao, it was really hard for eBay to cope with the world’s hardships for a long time.

eBay's various fees make online shopping more expensive than offline, and the delivery time takes a long time.Both merchants and consumers are complaining about eBay.

At this time, it was Taobao who came to slay the evil dragon eBay with a dragon-slaying knife, and rescued merchants from the evil eBay sea of ​​suffering.Give consumers a conscience price.

Taobao slaughtered eBay and later became a dragon. Pinduoduo, who was looked down upon by others, picked up the Heavenly Sword again and slashed at Taobao.

Later, many people did not understand Pinduoduo's success, but... Zhao Han basically understood it after reading the history of eBay and Taobao.

The script used by Pinduoduo is the script used when Taobao was founded. The playstyle may be different, but the core is similar.

The second-hand notebook is the domestic Shenzhou Tianyun P170C, which uses a C41.7GHz processor, 128M memory, 20G hard drive, built-in 24XCD-ROM and a 14.1-inch display screen. It is basically the current low-end mainstream configuration.The shell is black and weighs about 3kg.

This thing itself is focused on cost-effectiveness, and the ex-factory price is about 5800 yuan.The ex-factory price is actually similar to the configuration of some foreign brand laptops priced at over 1 yuan.Hmm...not to compare with weight.

However, the weight of this product is a huge disadvantage, and it is second-hand.Sellers are just getting their funds back by disposing of unsalable goods.

Under various factors, if it sells for 3500 yuan, if there is no quality problem, it is considered a miss.

Zhao Han pressed the power button, and then...successfully turned on this Shenzhou laptop.

It boots up well, and there are basically no problems with various operations. I can plug in the Internet cable and dial up to access the Internet.

Zhao Han showed a satisfied smile, and then... dialed Liu Mengcheng's home phone number.

"Hello?"

"Are you up yet?"

"Is it you? What's the matter?" Liu Mengcheng's tone became more relaxed. He thought it was another publisher's rejection call.

"Come here first, there are good things!"

"what?"

"Come here, you'll find out if you come here."

"Oh."

After a few minutes.

Hearing the sound of people going up the stairs, Zhao Han opened the door without waiting for the knock on the door.

"Let's go, there are some good things specially prepared for you!" Zhao Han said.

"What is it? I didn't say anything on the phone. It's mysterious." Although Liu Mengcheng said this, it was with a hint of curiosity.

Zhao Han took her to the living room and pointed to the laptop on the coffee table in front of the sofa: "This! I bought it for you on Taobao. It just arrived and the inspection is fine. You try to use it!"

"Buy it for me?" Liu Mengcheng couldn't help but be confused, "Why did you buy such an expensive computer for me?"

For a moment, she felt a little flustered. She had never received such an expensive gift since she was a child.

"You're welcome, I didn't give it away for free. Only in your hands can it play its role." Zhao Han said, "I tell you, there is no future for writing with paper, and using a computer is the way to go. Here you go. After buying a laptop, I will use it more to code!”

"..." Liu Mengcheng's emotion suddenly vanished. Return her emotion, you bastard!

"This is yours. From now on, if you have nothing to do, try using it to code." Zhao Han said, "In addition, you can also use it to surf the Internet. When the master from Telecom comes, I will ask him to change it to a modem with multiple network ports. Plug in multiple network cables so that two computers can access the Internet at the same time.”

"Okay! Since it's for work, I'll accept it."

Liu Mengcheng had no ink marks and was familiar with using this laptop at Zhao Han's home.

Fortunately, during this time, she was actually no stranger to surfing the Internet and typing.

Typing speed, although not as fast as handwriting for the time being.

But this is just the reason why the hand feel has not caught up yet. If you practice more with the keyboard, the hand feel can be improved.

Chapter 37 Mom and Dad’s Talent for Making Money

After the laptop was given away, Zhao Han looked at the balance on his bank card with pain, only more than 6000 was left.

Grass is a plant.

This is the realistic situation of many coders who pay money before they can make money.

Before coding, Zhao Han had a deposit of 6000.After coding, the price dropped to [-] yuan.

"Hello, Dad?" Zhao Han's cell phone rang and answered, "Who did you listen to? Well, he resigned. You have seen that stupid fat man before. You persuaded him at that time, with a gentle look on your face, and you looked at me It's not like Zhongliang... Yes, yes, Dad, you are right about people... Hmm, don't worry, I live in the county, can I starve to death?"

"Mom? Oh...oh! Well, I got it! It's okay, I'm starting a business, and I have a partner who is a very beautiful girl. Lose? Mom, don't worry, even if you lose, I will earn you back. Is it a loss?" Zhao Han said with nonsense, "How much does it cost to fall in love directly? Cooperate to start a business, save money and effort... Can I suffer a loss? Just kidding! Okay... I don't need to give you money for the time being. If you need money, I will ask for it! I'm done with it. , If you have anything to do during the Chinese New Year, we’ll talk about it when we go home.”

Zhao Han's wallet shrank rapidly and he was not anxious because he still had his parents.

If necessary, you can use Mom and Dad to make money.

Of course, Zhao Han also knows that the fact that his parents can make money now is a factor of the times. In the future, as the population in his hometown town becomes smaller and smaller, his parents' money-making talents will also be exhausted.

The most prosperous period for Zhao Han's family was probably in the 90s, when they had three shops: a small shop, a pork shop, and a rental bookstore. They were considered rich in the town.

When Zhao Han went to college, his parents were always in the air when they walked around town. The neighbors looked up to them wherever they went, and they wished they could have their pride written on their faces.

Why, Zhao Han's parents could actually buy a few more apartments in the county and move to the county.I have to go back to town because...you can't show off in the county!

With that kind of worth, no one in the county cared about him.

In the town, I feel good every day, and my life would not change even if I were a god.

Now, Zhao Han's parents have four shops in the town, including a small store, a rental bookstore, a pork shop, and an Internet cafe.

Small shops are the foundation of fortune. In the late 80s, Zhao Han's father had the courage to open a small shop.

Rental bookstore. Zhao Han’s father is also a fan of martial arts books. Because he likes to read novels, there is no rental bookstore in the town, so he opened his own one. It is running well now, but he pays equal attention to renting books and VCDs.

Zhao Han saw the prosperity of Internet cafes in the county and where the university was located, and suggested that his family open the Internet cafe. Now it is making a small profit.

Then there’s the pork shop, which is definitely evergreen.

In the future, as the rental of bookstores and Internet cafes has become less popular, the small shops will not make any profit, but the pork shop will continue to make money.

Therefore, Zhao Han never worried that his parents would not be able to provide money, but he did not need it for the time being.

If there is a real need, Zhao Han will not hide it. After all, his parents are still somewhat talented in making money.

……

Liu Mengcheng can also be considered a martial arts practitioner.

Carrying the computer bag containing the Shenzhou laptop in one hand, walking up the stairs felt like walking on flat ground.

The strange weight of Shenzhou is because it takes a desktop CPU and changes it into a laptop CPU.

This kind of magic modification is to save money and achieve cost-effectiveness.The disadvantage is that the laptop is overweight due to the awkward operation!

A three kilogram laptop, plus other accessories, weighs more than seven kilograms.

However, Liu Mengcheng didn't feel heavy at this time, but felt that there was a lot of material and it was strong!

I tried to tell her that the laptop should be lighter, but she wouldn't listen!

After returning home, Liu Mengcheng happily opened his laptop, and then started reading on the laptop...

Well, these days, the pastry Chinese website has a novel download function, and you can only download free content. Of course, paid content cannot be downloaded.

The reason why there is a download function is mainly because, considering that many users do not have long access to the Internet, the Internet fee is not cheap.

If you download it, you can watch it offline without an internet connection.

The beginning of the free version attracts readers.If the content has huge appeal and readers want to see the VIP content later, they will be converted into VIP paying users.

I have downloaded dozens of online articles offline. Although I can only download the first two to 30 words, it is enough.

Because, the so-called scanning of online articles is to learn and understand the popular novels on the list.

By constantly looking at the creativity, style and themes of current popular novels.

If you want to get started and improve online writing, the main thing is to read more and write more.

From a utilitarian point of view, just looking at the hits, or even analyzing the reasons for success, is undoubtedly a shortcut to becoming a god.

Of course...you also have to be talented!

If you don't have that talent, even if you scan the rankings every day and your analysis is clear and logical, but you have a good eye but a low hand, and you can't write it yourself, it will be in vain.

Today's list scanning is still relatively traditional, that is, at least reading the beginning of the free version.

Many of the tricks of later generations to scan the list have gradually evolved into reading only the first tens of thousands of words, or even the first three chapters.Because the beginning is often the most important reason for success...

The disadvantage of only learning the opening chapter may be that if you read less long-form stories, you won’t be able to edit later, and the plot will easily get out of control and collapse.

But in such a complicated environment in the future, if you are not good at the beginning, it is easy to be eliminated directly.Are there any opportunities for the long-form layout later on?

If there are works like "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality" that are slow to gain popularity, the general environment will not allow it to slowly become popular.

"These works are not as good as those written by Zhao Han? Could it be that he is really that kind of gifted and rare novel genius?" Liu Mengcheng couldn't help but have this thought while scanning the list for reading.

Liu Mengcheng has read too many books and concluded that in the face of "Rebirth of the 1990 Literary Era", the story pace of these books is either too impatient or too slow, and the plots are not innovative at all.

Even in terms of writing... Zhao Han is so self-effacing that dogs don't even look at his writing.

In contrast, Liu Mengcheng felt that Zhao Han's writing style was still better than most current authors.

Zhao Han dragged her to write together, it seemed...she was really a little drag.In terms of writing style, she really improved the polish of the work.

however……

I saw the pastry Chinese website and found that some whose writing skills were even worse than Zhao Han’s could still make it to the weekly rankings.

She realized that writing is actually not that important.

of course……

Writing style is not important. This conclusion is very popular in the early days of online writing.

But as the industry develops, authors with this idea must finally admit that good writing can indeed do whatever you want!

After all, creativity is more important than imagination. When iteration reaches a certain level, it will be difficult to produce big creative hits.

When everyone only has routines or micro-creative ideas, the power of writing style becomes more and more important.

Although, in the later period, there were still some quick swordsmen with evil-proof sword skills. The title, introduction and opening three-piece set of the book could also make a name for themselves in the world of big books.

However, if someone is good at writing, who would be so curly?

A strong airbender writer can sell even an ordinary routine!

Chapter 38 Doing business with Fortune [-] companies

in the afternoon.

A short telecommunications master came to Zhao Han's house with a toolbox.

"To connect two computers, you either have to buy a router and install it yourself. Or, I can apply for a single-port router to be replaced with a double-port router. It's not technically complicated, so just change it to another one." The short master smoked a cigarette and checked the indoor environment of Zhao Han. line, “Just apply!”

"Master, if you can help me, I'll finish it today." Zhao Han pointed to a pack of Chinese cigarettes on the table.

"See what you said." The master smiled happily, put the Chinese cigarette in his pocket, and took out a new double-mouth cat from the bag with his backhand, "I have a double-mouth cat that I replaced for another family. That family has moved, I will go His cat was recovered. If you want it, I’ll install it for you first.”
