Chapter 12: Laying out the future
After the party, Deng Shuying's mother came to pick her up, and before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Shao Diheng a few times, making him feel hairy all over his body.
When he turned around, he found that his mother was scanning him with the same eyes.
"Mom, why do you look at me like this?" Shao Diheng looked up at He Meiqiong with innocent eyes.
"Son, I heard that you made a good girlfriend at school...... Ahem, I became a very good friend with a female classmate, and I don't leave the weight every day, is it the girl just now?" He Meiqiong smiled a little sadly.
"Yes, no, when will I get along with her?" Shao Diheng was almost taken into the pit by He Meiqiong.
"Isn't it, how did I hear that you wrote that song just to sing with that girl on stage? Now it's all spread in the circle?" He Meiqiong's look of "you can't fool me" made him wonder if he changed a children's version for Deng Shuying.
"No, Mom, it must be that unserious Uncle Huang who is spreading the word, originally I wrote it as a solo version!" Shao Diheng resolutely defended his reputation.
"Yes, yes, yes, I believe, let's go home!" He Meiqiong said with an obvious "I don't believe it" expression, nodding.
This time, He Meiqiong and Shao Yuncheng came back to Xiangjiang, of course, they did not receive an invitation, their focus was already in the United States, and the government would not specially invite them.
This time they came back, firstly, because this was Shao Diheng's first time performing on the public stage, and his parents would definitely witness and record such an important moment, and secondly, they received the news and came to meet the future...... Ahem, mostly the first one.
It was close to two o'clock when I returned to Shao's house, and everyone washed up and went to sleep.
The next day, Shao Qianlou, Fang Fanghua, Shao Yuncheng, He Meiqiong, and Shao Diheng were eating breakfast as a family, and the TV was still repeating last night's handover ceremony and party, adding a few current affairs analysis from time to time.
"Dad, how has your investment company's income been in the past few years?" Shao Diheng asked Shao Yuncheng.
"Well, although there is no general direction in the past few years, the income is still good, so far the company has more than one billion dollars in funds, as for the next few years, I am more optimistic about the Internet!" Shao Yuncheng has become accustomed to Shao Diheng's old and heavy-minded.
"Oh, why?" Shao Diheng was a little surprised, it seems that this father really can't be underestimated.
"Two years ago, a browser called 'Prospect' appeared, and it was sold as shareware, and because the functions were added quickly, the market share was quite high at that time. After the accumulation of users in subsequent versions, 'Prospect' has become the first browser market share. The following year, the company's initial public offering was a huge success. Throughout 1995, the company's revenue doubled quarterly. ”
Later, Prospect made more attempts to create a web application system that could be operated by users through a browser. This attracted the attention of the computer giants 'Micro Hardware', fearing that the 'prospects' might threaten the 'Micro Hardware' operating system and application market, so they developed their own browsers and entered the browser market, and the fierce competition between the two sides began, which became known as the 'Browser Wars'. Now, after a year of competition, the prospect of the company's decline is fully revealed, and I am afraid it will not last long. ”
"Even so, the Internet is still noticed by many investors, but because the current profit model of the Internet is not clear, many people are still waiting! And I will study this thing in the next six months and choose a few promising companies to invest in. Shao Yuncheng expressed his opinion.
Shao Diheng knew that if the development trend of the world was the same as in the previous life, if he wanted to make money in the Internet industry, he would not need to study it at all! At the end of the 20 th century, investors' fanaticism for the Internet had reached the point of blindness!
No team?
No technology?
No experience?
As long as you make a plan and fool around with investors, you can get 90% of the investment!
It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, I don't understand it anyway, but as long as you make the website and put it on the stock market, it will rise, why don't I invest?
In those years, it was the real "standing in the wind, pigs can fly" beautiful years!
If somebody says that ten years from now, just listen to it, he just wants to eat you, the pig that fell to his death, when the wind stops.
But even if these two worlds are so similar, Shao Diheng doesn't dare to fight, at least the time when the Internet bubble bursts, he doesn't dare to guarantee 100% of it!
After thinking about the rhetoric, Shao Diheng said: "Dad, I think if the Internet can really develop, then the most important part of the future must be socialization!"
"You look at the development of our communication, from letters to telephones to BB machines to big brothers, and even now mobile phones, e-mail, the development direction of communication has always been more immediate, more convenient! So if the Internet can appear instant messaging software, more convenient than email, there must be a big market, and the more popular this software, the competitiveness of other competitors will be weak, because when your relatives and friends around you use this software, it is difficult for you to switch to other software, this is the so-called user stickiness!"
After Shao Yuncheng heard Shao Diheng's words, he didn't even eat the breakfast in the bowl, and asked anxiously: "Is there anything else?"
Shao Yuncheng thought about it for a while and said, "If there is anything else, it is business transactions and navigation." ”
"First of all, let's talk about navigation, if people use the Internet at the beginning, they are definitely not so proficient, if there is a navigation website, can classify all types of websites, then it will definitely attract a lot of users!"
As for the search in the troika, Shao Diheng did not say.
Because in the early stage of the development of the Internet, navigation must have more advantages than search, faster to seize the market, and then combined with the development of the previous life, the current search technology should not be mature, and the inaccurate search will make users want to black, and they will not want to use it in the future.
Finally, search is actually an extension of navigation, as long as you don't make the mistakes of Yahoo in the previous life, Google will never be able to run, because Google is a leech stuck to Yahoo, sucking Yahoo's blood and strengthening itself.
"That's how I understand business transactions. In the real world, we can open a store and sell a limited number of things, even in shopping malls, there are many products missing, but as long as we establish a channel on the Internet to connect sellers and buyers, then this market has endless possibilities! If the advantage of instant social networking is stickiness, then the advantage of business transactions is big! Infinite!" Shao Diheng affirmed.
Shao Yuncheng patted the table excitedly and said: "I said son, how long is your head, I feel that your ideas may be ten years ahead ......of the world!
"Ahem!" Shao Qianlou killed with one look.
Shao Yuncheng cleared his throat, as if swallowed by saliva, and said, "Why don't you tell me how this Internet should be profitable!"
Of course, Shao Diheng knows how to make money on the Internet, and he can even say a hundred and a thousand ideas, but it is too much, and now the important thing is to occupy all the pits.
"Dad, I haven't thought of how to make a profit for the time being, but since this market has infinite possibilities, then we should be able to occupy the market as soon as possible to cultivate users, and the way to seize the market is - free!"
Then there is a detailed explanation of the power of the "free" big killer, and finally do not forget to remind to separate the Chinese market and the non-Chinese market, of course, he explained that it is just that everyone's values are different, and it is easier to manage separately.
"Well, I said, how come this bread is getting more and more tasteless the more I eat it? Just after the two fathers and sons discussed for more than half an hour, He Meiqiong suddenly interjected, her tone sour.
"Mom, what are you talking about, is the bread spoiled, why do I smell a sour smell?" Shao Diheng pretended to sniff the air.
"Son, after talking for so long, why don't you care about your mother's career? Say, don't you love your mother anymore?" He Meiqiong flattened her mouth, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"Uh...... Mom, I'm not very familiar with this aspect of fashion, but have you ever considered creating a high-end underwear brand?" asked Shao Diheng after a moment's hesitation.
"High-end underwear brands, aren't there Xian Erdai, Da Anfen and so on?" He Meiqiong didn't understand for a while.
"No, that's not high-end enough, I'm talking about high-end, underwear with diamonds!" Shao Diheng said with a smile.
He Meiqiong seemed to have grasped something in her mind, but quickly slipped away again.
"Isn't there a Super Cup in the United States, the scene is similar to our Spring Festival Gala, you said that if we find a group of super models, with all kinds of wings on their backs, and then wear diamond-encrusted underwear on the catwalk, will it cause a sensation?!" Shao Diheng rubbed his chin and said.
"Great! Son! This will make all men and women blood boil! It will be difficult for this underwear brand not to become an instant hit!" He Meiqiong hugged Shao Diheng and kissed him fiercely on the face.
"Hey, what else are you eating!" He Meiqiong dragged Shao Yuncheng, who was eating porridge with his head down, "Let's go, let's take the fastest flight back to the United States, I don't feel like I have to sleep for the next seven days!"
Wife, you're full, and I've only eaten two bites......
"Mom and Dad, you have to work hard, if the Shao family really can't help it, I will have to rely on you for the rest of my life!" Shao Diheng looked at their backs and said secretly.
