Chapter 187: The Beginning of the Titan War
Cheng Ran asked Li Mingshi if he knew Deng Yu, Jiang Ling, and Liao Miao, and Li Mingshi said, "If you say it alone, there may be duplicate names, but as soon as the names of the three people come out like this, I roughly know who it is, Deng Yu, the moderator of LinuxBBS, known as the 'Lonely Swordsman'." Liao Miao is a moderator of the NetEase Linux forum, with the screen name 'Border City Prodigal', while Jiang Ling used to be in NetEase FSD, and now he should be the deputy moderator. All three of them are currently experts in the domestic Linux field. ”
The BBS moderator of a well-known website in this period means a recognized identity in the field, especially when the niche resources of the BBS forum are not abundant in the early days, the status of the moderator is very high. And it's like another identity in the new continent of the Internet, some people may just be one of the silent and mediocre beings during the day, but logging on to the Internet at night is to point out the turmoil and talk about extraordinary people.
The Internet provides another level of opportunity to show talents, so when the Internet era comes, people will imagine that one day people will only live in the real world as a shell, but the spirit will swim in the neural network to open up and try infinite lives.
Cheng Ran laughed mischievously, "How is that ...... 'Lonely Swordsman' and 'Border City Prodigal' compare to you?"
At this time, Li Mingshi appeared again that kind of Master Li's unfathomability, "Different fields can't be compared." But if they come to CQ, then I'm the one who interviews them across the coffee table. ”
Looking at Li Mingshi with a superior face, Cheng Ran smiled and burst the bubble of his imagination, "I don't have the idea of bringing them into CQ." ”
"This is a bit unexpected...... Li Mingshi smashed his mouth, breaking away from the dream of sitting on the world's heroes, and felt a little regretful, "I thought you had any strategic decisions, or grasped their movements, I said, although we don't have a Linux project now, maybe you have to make technical reserves, or develop in this area." ”
"But they don't have to give you an interview, they have a company called Blue Dot Technology in the Tianxing Gym. ”
Li Mingshi was stunned, "rely on ......"
"No wonder, these guys are here...... They are now missing all day long on the major BBS, many people run up to scold them for not updating things, scold them for being lazy, don't answer questions from netizens, don't put good things into BBS, and from time to time they run up to respond to the good things are coming soon, the dawn is ahead, let everyone wait. It's very mysterious, I didn't expect to get together here. What do they do?"
"A product is about to be smashed, the Chinese operating system, the Chinese Linux kernel, and the future will expand in this direction." ”
Li Mingshi didn't grasp the movements of Deng Yu and the others, so this was probably just their secret, so he didn't wonder how Cheng Ran could know this.
"All three of them are geniuses, and they must be outstanding in this area. I'm guessing you definitely have an idea. Li Mingshi said, "But you have to think clearly, Linux is destined to fight against Microsoft's Windows to the end from the day it was born, and what you are facing is to compete with Microsoft's giants." ”
Cheng Ran thought for a moment and shook his head, "It's not just Windows. But even if it's a war of giants, it's pretty much the same......"
Windows is the leader in both the desktop and server fields, especially in the desktop field, and Linux wants to compete with it on this, but it can only be said that there is no light in sight...... But in the future, it's not just desktop products on the PC side.
Blue Dot, is it possible to compete with Google's Android in the future?
The giant Google of later generations acquired Android, and Android defeated the Symbian system through smartphones, thus entering the road of glory, and even in the future, Google can in turn balance domestic technology companies on the battlefield of science and technology. The Blue Dot Linux system, which was once a great achievement, turned out to be implicated in the stock market crash because of the excessive pursuit of listing in the United States, but it was only a flash in the pan.
"If this is a war...... So let's get started. Cheng Ran whispered.
"Huh?" Li Mingshi looked at him with some doubts.
"If there is such a war in the future, then it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day. ”
Li Mingshi smiled, "Set up an imaginary enemy." ”
"Maybe, an imaginary war, all of which are Titan Titan Titan Battles, named the Battle of ......Ragnarok, is also quite exciting," Cheng Ran smiled.
Li Mingshi knew that Cheng Ran's mind must not know which dimension he had gone to, and he often had such words that seemed to live in fantasy.
But I can't help but wonder, "Is the war of the Titans......
......
Deng Yu, who was twenty-four years old at the time, didn't look young, but in fact, he went out after graduating from high school in ninety-three years, speculated in stocks, sold compatible machines in the computer city, and did electrical appliances business.
Liao Miao is better in skills, he is a microelectronics major from China Overseas Jiaotong University, and he is extremely interested in mathematics, and computers and mathematics are simpler, learning computers have not been exposed to DOS, directly Linux, so it is recognized as the strongest among the people.
As for why it is in Rongcheng? It turns out that CQ and Lianzhong, CQ, which has recently become popular because of the virtual community game "Spiritual Domain", and Lianzhong, who signed an investment agreement with Ali not long ago, are two big news exposed on the Internet, which makes Deng Yu and Liao Miao, who are ready to do something, agree to come to Rongcheng for a tour, and by the way, investigate the soil. was originally a young man, Deng Yu and Liao Miao came for a few days, playing in the streets and alleys, during which the two of them ate hot pot skewers and talked about technology, ate hot and sour noodles and talked about technology, and ate back to the pot meat to talk about technology, and finally found that they could also go back and continue to talk about technology, what can they eat later?
Both of them are alone, and they resigned when they were ready to work together, so since they want to start a business, it is better to rely on the rent advantage of the Tianxing Dao Pavilion to build the company here, and then expand to the deep city and the capital.
After making such a decision, I told Jiang Lingyi that the deputy moderator of NetEase BBS, who helped to make a chat room in the Hainan Telecommunications Bureau, immediately resigned and flew to Rongcheng to follow the two to the sea together.
A few people scraped together hundreds of thousands of dollars, aiming at the Linux Chinese kernel, and planned to get the first version out first.
It was at this time that Cheng Ran discovered it.
Listening to the whole cause and effect of Deng Yu and the others coming to Rongcheng, Cheng Ran never thought that this was actually related to the butterfly effect he made...... Of course, on another level, are these foodies corroded by the comfortable environment of Rongcheng?
The so-called young people don't get into Sichuan and don't get out of Shu, and a few people fall under this old saying? Then this core is really not their own reason.
This is the city's enchantment at work.
In short, a few people left behind by the enchantment met with Cheng Ran and Zhao Qing who were introduced by Li Mingshi on the fourth floor of the Tianxing Dao Pavilion.
Li Mingshi himself has been surprised to find them, Li Mingshi is the number one person, how can he be regarded as a well-known head of the domestic Internet IT sect, and their small sect has just started, Li Mingshi is of course a senior in this regard.
But several people are young and arrogant, and they are powerful in their own fields, but they may not be so restrained about Li Mingshi, but they have basic respect for him, but they still have a sense of self-confidence.
It was only when they learned that Li Mingshi was going to introduce venture capital to them, and that the investor was only a young man who was not even twenty years old, that they still tried to maintain their composure. If it weren't for Zhao Qing's consultative attitude in front of Cheng Ran, they would have thought that Zhao Qing was the angel investor.
Just like all young people in their twenties, trying not to make a fuss about this matter, and Cheng Ran's words and conversation made them already guess, maybe it was a certain second ancestor, which was much more reasonable.
Cheng Ran felt a little funny when he saw that they were obviously entangled in their hearts, but they still had to deal with themselves with a well-informed demeanor.
Li Mingshi's endorsement on this gave them a great deterrent. Li Mingshi was next to him, this didn't seem like a joke, so it was really mysterious for a young man who was not as old as them to invest in them.
But they are all engaged in technology, and there is no number of investment in equity at all, Deng Yu and the three of them chatted all night for a career together, and the ultimate goal is to go public in the United States, but how to operate has not yet been figured out, just make things first. Anyway, going public in the U.S. is their ultimate goal.
After thinking about it for a while, Deng Yu felt that the three of them had shallow energy in this aspect, and venture capital was of course very tempting, but they didn't understand that it was easy to get people to get the company over, Deng Yu remembered his former colleague Kang Ming, Kang Ming is a veteran newspaperman, graduated from the Department of Journalism of Wuhan University, and successively worked in the Economic Newspaper and the Special Zone Newspaper.
After Deng Yu mentioned it to Kang Ming, this high-level executive in Shencheng Shenghua Company flew directly to Rongcheng and contacted Cheng Ran.
After a conversation, Kang Ming closed the door and discussed with Deng Yu and others.
Deng Yu asked, "How is it?"
"With a 3 million investment, he wants 30 percent of the shares. Commitment to make additional investments as appropriate according to the company's development needs, and this transaction can be made. Kang Ming nodded.
"We are going to go public in the United States, and after we go public, it will not be a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars, and 30 percent of the shares, will it be high?" Jiang Ling asked.
"The goal is indeed this, yes, but before that, what do you take to go public? The 200,000 yuan that everyone raised? The development of the company, do you want to recruit people, do you need money to recruit a large number of people? Don't just look at how much this period occupies, millions of operations are listed, if we succeed, our shares are worth money, if we don't succeed, we will die!"
Deng Yu looked at Kang Ming, "You want to join?"
"I'll quit when I get back. Kang Ming nodded.
"Then set the company framework, and you will be the CEO and be responsible for the operation. We concentrate on technology and strive to ship products as soon as possible!" Deng Yu nodded.
It didn't take long for a few people to discuss behind closed doors. Coming out of the room in less than an hour, Kang Ming nodded to Cheng Ran, "We accepted it." ”
So what follows is some conversation about Cheng Ran and the young man of the Blue Dot system.
"We are going to go public in the United States, and the future financing must be in the unit of 100 million, and now this investment, can it be higher ......?"
is also listed, didn't you just collapse by the US stock market crash in your last life...... Cheng Ran, who had a headache when it came to listing, could only be tempted step by step, "This is not in a hurry, the investment is currently the highest, but the company will have difficulties in the future, can it still stand by and watch, don't worry about the capital, and don't want to go public so much...... Let's do the basics first......"
"There is a framework, and the time is pressing, we apply for technology companies to have discounts, but the approval process may not pass, so it is still according to the ordinary company, with the financial supervision of Mr. Xiaocheng, I believe it will be very formal, and it will be ......much more convenient for us to go public in the United States in the future."
Cheng Ran: "I don't want to go public first......
"Now that the shelf has been put up, we must also improve the details of the framework as soon as possible, the company's culture, rules and regulations, reward and punishment mechanisms, and we can also draw up the story of our entrepreneurship......
Cheng Ran: "Can you not talk about the listing......
So that afternoon, Cheng Ran listened to this group of young people who were not only foodies, but also like chickens, opening and closing their mouths to shout the slogan "I want to go public in the United States!" for an afternoon.
Cheng Ran now felt a headache like he was pulling the reins, and his body was straightened, but on the opposite side was a group of cows who couldn't pull back.
They're going to hit the south wall and smash the heavens and the earth.
But this is what such an army looks like at the beginning.
