My father, Zhao Lichun, is in the name of Tiggo!

Money is the wheel of power,

This thing can most directly show the special way of power,

It can also help Zhao Ruihu unite his comrades on the road,

Zhao attaches great importance to this.

In addition to Longhu Group,

there are Hanwang Security, Sanwang Group, etc.

After chatting with Liu Guanghan for about half an hour,

Zhao Ruihu immediately met with Qiu Laodao and Remi of Sanwang Group,

these two people came from Kingsoft.

At that time,

After Zhao decided to get involved in the Internet,

he asked Cheung Kong to come forward to acquire Kingsoft,

After several negotiations,

finally, he took over Zhang Xuanlong's company together with the people.

What made Zhao Ruihu happy the most was that these backbones in the company did not leave!

When Qiu Laodao came, he was in his early 30s.

He was a handsome guy.

When he didn't talk, he looked like a young girl.

Even so,

He should never be underestimated.

He was the first generation of programmers in China.

He was a genius programmer!

Back then, he was alone in the room writing WPS.

When he was hungry, he ate instant noodles.

When he was tired, he slept.

When he woke up, he typed on the keyboard.

In a year and a half, he typed out more than 100,000 lines of code by himself.

Finally, he developed WPS that could compete with WordStar.

It was like he was the first programmer in China!

At that time,

This set of WPS sold for more than 2,000 yuan.

More than 30,000 sets can be sold every year!

Of course,

As soon as the company reached its peak, it wanted to go further.

In 1994,

Kingsoft established a special R&D department under the leadership of Remi,

developed a set of products for Microsoft Office suite,

called Pangu Components. Unfortunately,

this product, which cost Kingsoft a lot of effort, was not well received by the market,

and the team also fell apart,

directly from more than 200 people to only 10 people,

returning to the pre-liberation era overnight.

It was also under the background of the "August 10" incident,

that Zhao Ruihu was able to acquire Kingsoft through Cheung Kong.

Because Remi, this young man, was once discouraged,

he was ready to resign.

Qiu Laodao and Remi looked at each other,

Neither of them knew how to address Zhao Ruihu,

After all, he was a programmer,

He was a bit of a homebody.

Zhao Ruihu smiled and said, "You don't have to be so restrained in your own home."

"I asked you to come here to talk to you about the future of Sanwang."

He looked at Qiu Laodao: "I heard you are making a stand-alone game?"

In addition to stand-alone games,

Qiu Laodao, in order to help Remi regain confidence,

Currently, he is focusing on the development of wps97.

"Yes."

Qiu Laodao said: "It's an RPG game."

After that,

he fell silent.

Zhao Ruihu couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Qiu is going to create new history again."

In his previous life,

Zhao had actually played "Swordsman Love",

and was quite impressed by it.

Of course,

For Zhao Ruihu,

the filter of his previous life would not affect his judgment.

"What else?"

Remi said: "We are currently developing Kingsoft PowerWord and WPS97."

Zhao Ruihu laughed: "It seems that Sanwang has picked up a ready-made bargain."

Qiu Laodao and Remi looked at each other: "It may not be cheap..."

Both of them were very honest,

Remi had not been trained yet,

He told the truth at the moment: "When we were optimizing WORD, we made it compatible with the WPS interface."

"Some of the original WPS customers have been converted to Word."

This is Microsoft's old trick,

Netscape Browser was so excited by its bundling of IE Browser that it was dying.

Zhao Ruihu smiled slightly: "In this case, you still sell your villa to develop WPS?"

Due to the establishment of Pangu,

Kingsoft was seriously injured,

A large number of backbones left,

Remi almost wanted to resign.

In order to save this young man,

Qiu Laodao simply burned his boats and sold his villa for the final development.

"Career has nothing to do with money."

Qiu Laodao said: "Boss, when you devote yourself to development, you have to do it even if you are not paid."

"Good, good."

Zhao Ruihu applauded: "Where there is a will, there is a way. The millions of Qinguan will eventually belong to Chu."

He immediately changed the subject: "There is a grand event on Wall Street this year. I wonder if you have paid attention to it?"

Remi hesitated and asked: "Boss, are you talking about the listing of Yahoo in the first half of the year?"

"Not bad, not bad."

Zhao Ruihu was very satisfied: "Yes, it is Yahoo . "

In March this year,

Wall Street welcomed a big baby,

Yahoo!

This company was founded last year,

and it was listed by capital in less than a year.

At that time, Yahoo's stock was initially priced at $13,

But,

The market really liked this thing,

The transaction was once frenetic,

The average number of changes per hour was as many as 6 times,

The stock price soared to $43 in a short period of time,

Helping Yahoo's market value reach $850 million.

Mr. Zhao smiled: "When it went public, I asked someone to buy some related stocks, so I have some understanding of this aspect."

Qiu Laodao and Remi suddenly realized,

It seems that,

This bossYou have a strong ability to absorb new things.

Angel investor?

"Then you must know what Yahoo does?"

Remi nodded: "Yahoo is a media company that makes profits by building portals and selling advertising space."

"The valuable thing is traffic."

Very good!

Although this young man has not grown into the Godfather of Lei,

But he has already shown considerable acumen.

Zhao Ruihu said: "That's right."

"Then why have you always stayed in the field of software development?"

He said slowly: "Ideals should be realized, but we must also keep up with the times."

Remi was silent and then said: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to do it, there are mainly two problems."

"Let me tell you."

"One is that the company currently does not have enough development staff."

If a large number of backbones had not left,

Zhao Ruihu would not have been able to buy Kingsoft so easily.

"Another is that this model has not yet found a profit point in the country."

The Internet in China was almost blank,

There were several common difficulties at the time.

For example, there were no access network operators to provide public Internet access,

The market needed network service operators to help users access the Internet.

The general public does not understand the Internet at all,

We need to cultivate the Internet concept of the market.

The market is completely blank,

There is no ICP that acts as a content service provider. Remi smiled bitterly and said, "Even Yinghaiwei doesn't know how to make a profit."

Yinghaiwei can be said to be the ancestor of China's Internet.

It directly copied AOL and

prepared to provide a one-stop solution for Internet life for the majority of netizens.

But it is really too advanced.

According to its concept,

As long as you log in to Yinghaiwei's Internet client Yinghaiwei Time and Space,

the netizen can use forums, post offices, coffee shops, game cities and other services here.

The problem is,

The concept of the Internet is free,

and foreign countries have already started to adopt this concept,

As a result, Yinghaiwei did not choose to open its own resources,

but continued to choose the online charging strategy.

At the same time,

The network protocol used by Yinghaiwei Space is not the more universal TCP/IP protocol, and thus cannot be opened by the Netscape browser widely used by netizens.

This has gradually made Yinghaiwei Space an isolated island.

The concept of the Internet is to be inclusive,

Yinghaiwei goes against the trend,

Naturally, it is not accepted by the market.

Both Remi and Qiu Laodao have made pilgrimages to Yinghaiwei Company,

The result disappointed them greatly,

They believe that Shenzhou does not have the conditions for the Internet at present,

So they thoughtContinue to work on software.

Zhao Ruihu smiled slightly: "Not long ago, at the Baiyi intersection in the imperial city, Yinghaiwei put up a billboard there."

He paused,

Then asked: "I think you must know the content?"

Qiu Laodao and Remi said together: "How far are we from the information superhighway!"

"That's right!"

Zhao Ruihu said again: "I think many things in the world cannot be viewed with the current perspective, let alone judged by short-term interests."

"The Internet is a superhighway. In this regard, foreign countries have set a good example for us."

The hottest stocks abroad at present are companies related to the Internet.

Whoever grasps this concept will become a big treasure in the capital market.

Zhao Ruihu had a plan in mind: "The country has already started the infrastructure construction in the information field."

At this point,

Zhao Ruihu understood it very well.

Among the several infrastructure projects that Longhu received,

there are services for the information field.

"The tide of the times has sounded, and I need you to adjust the direction."

Zhao Ruihu smiled and said: "WPS and RPG can continue."

"In this regard, you can control it yourself."

"As for the problem of manpower, there is one word, recruit."

Qiu Laodao asked: "Boss, do Yinghaiwei?"

Zhao Ruihu shook his head,

He asked: "Do you think there is no profit point in the Internet?"

Qiu Laodao and Remi nodded: "No discovery for the time being."

Currently, the idea of ​​a considerable number of software companies in Shenzhou is to design software,

such as Hanka, etc.,

and then sell it.

The Internet is a brand new way of playing,

They don’t know how to sell.

If they rely on advertising alone…

Neither Remi nor Qiu Laodao think that the current market can support a portal company.

That’s the problem!

Zhao Ruihu smiled: “I’ll take care of the money.”

“What you need to consider is to bring Sanwang into this era.”

“Let’s do this.”

Zhao Ruihu has never been stingy with money and treatment for talents,

He said to Qiu Laodao: “Let’s change the equity of Sanwang again.”

“Spin off Kingsoft into a subsidiary, and I will list it in Hong Kong Island next year at the latest.”

Zhao Ruihu asked: “If it goes public, will you be more confident?”

Qiu Laodao and Remi were both confused,

In fact, they have always wanted to go public,

but they just haven’t found the opportunity.

Zhao Ruihu smiled,

He then asked: "I will list Kingsoft, and you will do Sanwang according to my perspective, is there any problem?"

Remi hurriedly said: "Boss, we are not opposed to developing towards the Internet. ....... "

"It's just because we are worried about the investment being too large."

"Since you are so determined, we will certainly do our best."

Zhao Ruihu waved his hand: "Answer the actual question!"

Qiu Laodao and Remi looked stern,

The boss looked young,

but had a strong aura,

and said without hesitation: "No problem."

"Okay!"

Zhao Ruihu said: "From the perspective of development, I hope you will start to move the company to Jingzhou."

"Here, I can give the company the best policies and treatment."

"It will help development."

"I promise that here in Handong, there will be absolutely no monsters to make things difficult for you. ”

This point,

is quite attractive.

Remi hesitated and said: "Boss, it may be difficult to recruit people in Handong."

"Give money."

Zhao Ruihu smiled and said: "It may be a little difficult now, so let's spend money."

"When Kingsoft goes public, with your appeal, I think it will not be difficult to attract talents. ”

Having said so much,

Qiu Laodao and Remi did not hesitate,

and agreed together.

At present, Kingsoft is almost an empty shell,

with only a dozen people in it,

as long as you are willing to pay and provide treatment,

it is not a problem to move the office space.

At present, Qiu Laodao focuses on research and development,

so Remi is in charge of the company's business,

after thinking about it, he said: "Boss, in this case, I think we should start with the portal."

"Very good."

Zhao Ruihu smiled and said: "I hope you don't think of Sanwang as an employee."

"We are all partners."

He said: "In this regard, I, Zhao, am still willing to give."

"As for the business. ”

Zhao Ruihu said: "I hope that when you use foreign things for China's benefit, you will consider the actual situation of your own country more."

To put it nicely, it is called using foreign things for China's benefit,

but in fact, it is just copying!

This is also a hard-to-avoid fact.

After all, the Internet was created by foreigners,

and everyone is completely in the dark,

so they will definitely copy it directly.

"Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while oranges grown in the north of the Huai River are bitter oranges."

Zhao Ruihu said earnestly: "It is undeniable that the Internet is the key to a new era, but we must also consider the actual situation of the Chinese people. ”

What is the actual situation?

According to the first "Statistical Report on Internet Development" released by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC),

it is confirmed that there are 299,000 Internet-connected computers in the country,

620,000 Internet users,

about 1,500 points.

A spark of fire,

It will take some time for it to spread.

In this case,

How can we make a profit?

Zhao Ruihu told Qiu Laodao and Remi a business essence that they will never forget: "In China, free is the hard truth."

"Only free can survive!"

Qiu Laodao and Remi stood there in shock.

I have never heard of a company that can survive by being free.

Remi couldn't help asking: "If that's the case, how can investors be willing to pay?"

"Prospects!"

Zhao Ruihu said a concept: "Everyone invests in the future, not the present."

"Because 0.8 is visible now, but the future is invisible, so it can arouse everyone's interest."

Qiu Laodao and Remi immediately understood that

The boss is betting on the future development speed of the Internet in China,

It is betting on the market!

Zhao Ruihu highly values ​​Qiu Laodao and Remi.

These two people have strong business capabilities.

They are good helpers that he has chosen.

He smiled and said, "Of course, we can't just spend money to buy traffic."

Remi thought,

Spend money to buy traffic?

That's really appropriate!

"Mr. Qiu, when will your RPG be launched?"

Qiu Laodao quickly said, "It is expected to be next year."

"Hmm."

Zhao Ruihu has a filter for stand-alone games,

But,

he is not optimistic about its future.

There is no way to deal with this.

China's economy has not yet been improved.

Not everyone is willing to pay for genuine products.

At a time when piracy is rampant,

he believes that

the focus should be shifted from stand-alone games to online games.

He said: "After the listing, I need you to lead the R&D team to transform into online game R&D."

"MMORPG."

Qiu Laodao was confused.

He found out that

this boss really understands the relevant aspects.

The problem is that

online games have no future.

I quickly said: "Boss, there are still a series of problems in the current online game revenue."

In 1994,

Shenzhou was allowed to access the Internet,

Until this year,

an Internet cafe called Wigate appeared in Shanghai,

but it was called a computer room at that time.

An hour of Internet access costs up to 40 yuan,

definitely a luxury consumption place.

Not to mention the poor bandwidth!

In this environment,

who would be crazy enough to engage in online games?

Zhao Ruihu smiled: "General."

"We engage in online games, from project establishment, research and development to listing."

"It will take at least two years, right?".
