In these years, Zhongguancun, outside of Shangdi, is still desolate and tight.

The small building where NetEase is located, that is, a bare seat on this land, is not magnificent, let alone glamorous, but it is already the most conspicuous landmark in this area.

Because everyone knows that NetEase is the first domestic Internet company in China to start listing on the NASDAQ.

This kind of glory is incomparable to those who come after it in any way.

Since moving to the capital, Ding Lei has found that NetEase has entered a new world.

Not only are all kinds of resources at your fingertips, but even all kinds of capital are coming in one after another.

Although NetEase no longer needs to refinance, the feeling of being sought after by capital is still quite cool.

And all of this is inseparable from Wu Tao's inspiration and support.

So when he saw Wu Tao leading a team to visit, Ding Lei felt like a friend at first sight, and his mood was also very different.

So much so that the reception of the team of Tianjing Company is almost the highest standard of hospitality.

Holding Wu Tao's hand all the way, he said with emotion: "Oh, Mr. Wu, I heard that you came to the capital to go to school, and I have long wanted to visit you." But these days, the U.S. side is going to review this and that, which makes me anxious, and I really don't care about it. ”

Being held by a big man like this, Wu Tao always felt awkward.

Quietly withdrew his hand and said, "I'm new to the capital, so I should be hugging your thigh." ”

One sentence made Ding Lei's old face red, "Mr. Wu, don't make fun of me." If you can come over today, I also expect you to give our NetEase team a good talk, give us the road to the future IPO, and how to go after the IPO, and point out the direction. ”

"Don't mind!" Wu Tao glared, "You don't come! Today, I am leading a team to learn the scriptures, not to pass on the scriptures." I'll organize your IT experts and project management team and bring someone to talk about it. ”

“...... I'm telling you, you have to speak until they understand. Otherwise, I won't leave the team, and I'll eat and drink here until ......"

Before he finished speaking, Ding Lei raised his hand and swore: "Mr. Wu, don't worry, don't worry." I arranged it early in the morning and will definitely make you satisfied!"

After speaking, Ding Lei explained a few words to the female secretary next to him, turned around and invited Wu Tao to his own office.

Seeing Qiu Wuyan and the others leaving with the female secretary, Wu Tao walked into Ding Lei's office leisurely and glanced at it with interest.

Sure enough, it's a typical programmer's office, with a technician's style everywhere.

Guiding Wu Tao to sit down in the sofa area, Ding Lei personally poured him a glass of water and said: "Mr. Wu, look at many people in your team, their faces are very young." You're not short of money, so why bother looking for some raw melons and eggs to do a project?"

Wu Tao raised his eyebrows and said, "I have to plan this project slowly, and I am not in a hurry." Besides, the core technology development is a technical team that I poached from Netscape in Silicon Valley. Technically, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Ding Lei slapped his thigh, "I'll just say, you can't make such a mistake." actually dug a team from Netscape, so it is a foregone conclusion that Netscape will be merged?"

Wu Tao nodded, "Almost." ”

Ding Lei couldn't help sighing, "I think at the beginning, I also saw the popularity of Netscape and Yahoo, so I moved the idea of doing NetEase." Now NetEase has not been listed, and Netscape is about to be acquired. It seems that the IPO is not a peace of mind. ”

"Of course, IT companies are rising fast, but if they can't keep pace with the times, continue to innovate, and decline faster!" Wu Tao said lightly, but Ding Lei's brows tightened.

"You're so right, Mr. Wu. Ding Lei lost his high-spirited side in front of his subordinates, and said with a worried face: "I can't hide it, since the NetEase IPO was confirmed, I haven't slept a day peacefully!"

“...... My mind is full of a sense of crisis, lingering. But in front of his subordinates, he couldn't say it, and he was thinking all day long, what will NetEase's performance be after it goes public......?

Wu Tao didn't say a word, sitting and waiting for him to finish.

Because Ding Lei is so chattering, he is not really in a hurry to get any answers from him, or point out the direction or something. But as an IT upstart, he is full of this sense of crisis in his bones.

It's just that there is really no one to sue, so I poured bitter water with Wu Tao, a friend who is also a teacher and friend, to release the pressure.

It seems that experience can really change a person, at least Ding Lei in front of him is no longer as detached and fun as when they first met.

Ding Lei said and spoke, and then sighed, full of pessimism and disappointment about the Internet industry.

It wasn't until later that Wu Tao couldn't listen to it anymore and felt that he had to say a few words.

"It's good to have a sense of crisis! But to be overly pessimistic and hopeless is to go to extremes. Wu Tao's voice was unquestionable: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain! Besides, even I have invested so heavily in the Internet industry, what else do you have to worry about?"

When Ding Lei heard this, his eyebrows lit up, yes.

The gold lord in front of him, since his rise, is what to invest in, what to do. Since he dares to jump into the pit of the Internet, the situation must be far less serious than he thinks.

It's just that as soon as the thought returned to the intranet project that Wu Tao did, Ding Lei couldn't help but judge with his professional vision, to consider, and then pondered for a long time, and then said cautiously: "Mr. Wu, with all due respect, did you make this intranet purely for the nature of playing tickets? At least, I haven't figured out the profit model until now." ”

"Then you should be full of thoughts!" Wu Tao leaned back on the sofa and said: "I can only tell you that my product is aimed at the next generation of Internet craze." ”

Ding Lei tilted his head and pondered there, but his face was still skeptical: is it really fake?

The day's visit was fleeting, and when everyone left by bus in the evening, Ding Lei still couldn't figure it out.

Wu Tao knows that not only Ding Lei thinks so, but also the current generation of IT upstarts in China will think so.

This is the limitation that the development of the times and the environment has brought to the people of the present.

When I came back to my senses, everyone on the bus was discussing the day's harvest in full swing.

Especially Yang Zili's eyes were shining, "Boss, after a day of visiting and studying, I found that Mr. Ding and Mr. Zhang have created an era of the Chinese Internet!"

Many people echoed with sincere admiration on their faces.

But when Wu Tao thought that Ding Lei was still pouring bitter water in front of him during the day, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.

However, he quickly regained his mind and took the opportunity to encourage: "Then the next era of the Huaxia Internet depends on you!"
