After a short stay in Jinling for a few days, the day before the Lantern Festival, Wu Tao and his people returned to the capital.

Since he embarked on the road of studying, this Lantern Festival has rarely been spent at home. Among the many traditional festivals, this festival is the most extinct in name.

Even so, the Tsinghua canteen has specially prepared a variety of Lantern Festivals for this festival.

Big and small, salty, sweet, round, square, white, you name it.

In the Yushuyuan canteen, Wu Tao tasted the dazzling array of small lantern festivals while paying attention to the latest Internet business trends.

Since NetEase completed its magnificent transformation on the NASDAQ a few years ago, the entrepreneurial enthusiasm for the Internet industry in China has obviously risen unprecedentedly.

Sohu and Sina, which were just a few start-ups, have all announced their plans to go public on the NASDAQ, which has given a shot in the arm to the already overheated Chinese Internet market.

As a result, Wu Tao is very worried that the day when the global Internet bubble will collapse is very likely to come early.

This amount of advance may be half a year or a year.

Putting down the documents in his hand, Wu Tao thought for a moment, and then a call came to Xue Jiaqian's mobile phone.

"Within three months, I sold off my NetEase shares. ”

Xue Jiaqian was taken aback, "Three months, boss, didn't you say half a year before? ”

Wu Tao was unmoved, "The rise rate of NetEase stock in the past month has also exceeded our expectations, isn't it?"

The other end of the phone was immediately speechless, Xue Jiaqian was silent for a moment, and then took a deep breath and said, "Yes, boss, I will adjust the cash plan." ”

After receiving the phone, Wu Tao's face was still solemn.

An Rong glanced at him, scanned the ink-smelling fax document again, and asked suspiciously, "Is the situation really as serious as you analyzed?"

Wu Tao pointed to a set of data on the document and said: "According to the latest market analysis report of Tianqi Investment, the number of Internet users in Huaxia has exceeded 30 million! The market share of private computers has reached 30% of the entire computer market share, which means that the Internet environment in Huaxia is accelerating towards maturity." ”

The rapid growth rate of this data is something that Wu Tao never expected.

Looking back, he realized that this was probably a chain reaction under the fermentation of the butterfly effect.

The free promotion of Counter-Terrorism in China has played a catalytic and magical effect on the cultivation of netizens in the domestic market.

Coupled with the hot launch of the school intranet, the number of registered users exceeded 5 million in less than half a year.

This has also played a certain role in promoting the cultivation of domestic netizens.

The surge in the number of users has stimulated the maturity of the computer hardware market. Lenovo and foreign brands are vying to enter the mature domestic market, and the intensification of competition will inevitably lead to the price of computer hardware becoming rational.

This led to the early popularization of computers, which further led to the skyrocketing of the number of Internet users.

Today's scale has reached the data of one and a half to two years from the previous life.

After listening to Wu Tao's words, An Rong couldn't help but think, "Isn't this a good thing?"

This is a bit difficult to explain, Wu Tao's judgment on the Internet bubble is based on these data.

As for why these data can be used as weather vanes and reference indices, it is difficult to explain.

As An Rong said, it makes perfect sense to use these data as indicators for judging the development potential of the Internet industry.

Therefore, Wu Tao did not directly explain this, but tried to analyze: "The maturity of the Internet environment is not only reflected in the growth of the user scale and the formation of the market, but also in the elimination of the chaff and the essence of Internet enterprises. ”

“…… In the past few years, large and small Internet companies have emerged one after another, and homogeneous competition has been very bad. Coupled with the stimulation of NetEase's listing, this phenomenon tends to be even more crazy. ”

“…… As the saying goes, if God wants it to perish, he must first make it mad. I'm probably in that crazy phase now. ”

When I left Yushu Garden, I happened to meet the radiant Junin on the main road of the campus.

I have to admit that since the establishment of the Qianqian Listening Music website, Hu Ning's whole person has taken on a new look.

The original fresh and pleasant face has become more positive, energetic, and full of energy in everything.

At the beginning of the new semester, she racked her brains to develop a plan for the development of a music website.

The success of NetEase's IPO, as well as the fact that many domestic websites have successively announced their plans to list abroad, has greatly boosted her morale.

Everyone else can do it, why can't I?

"Boss, I was planning for you to find you. As he spoke, Hu Ning nodded at An Rong with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.

Wu Tao came back to his senses from his solemnity, and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Senior Sister Hu Ning, is there anything to do with me?"

Hu Ning handed over a folder in his arms and said, "This is the development plan I have compiled about the Qianqian Jingting website, please review it." ”

Wu Tao took it, put it under his armpit and said, "Oh, I'll take a good look." ”

However, Hu Ning not only had no intention of leaving, but kept up with the pace of Wu Tao and the others, chatting as he walked: "Boss, now the newspapers say that our country has ushered in a golden age of Internet development, and all kinds of Internet companies have sprung up. I heard that after the end of this year, more than a dozen small companies in Zhongguancun will be registered every day. ”

Wu Tao asked with interest, "What do you think?"

Hu Ning took a deep breath and said, "I think this is both an opportunity and a challenge. It is said that it is an opportunity because the current huge user base is a good thing for Internet companies; it is said that it is a challenge because there are many companies, and competition will naturally intensify and deteriorate, and the survival of the fittest has existed since ancient times. ”

"Then what is your positioning of the Qianqian Jingting Music website?"

"On this point," Hu Ning said with sparkling eyes, "I have already elaborated in the plan submitted to you, so please boss, you must take the time to take a look." ”

After that, Hu Ning winked at An Rong, waved goodbye, and turned to leave.

Wu Tao turned his head and said with a wry smile to An Rong: "You said that if I poured a basin of cold water on her on the spot, would it be too cruel?"

An Rong said thoughtfully: "Cruel or not, I don't know." But I think you're likely to lose the heart of this senior sister. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you adopt a unified approach to the development of your Internet companies and get through this period without discrimination. ”

Wu Tao's heart was touched, and suddenly a strong self-confidence swelled, "I have this intention!"
