Chapter Eighty-Five: Meeting with the Thunder Sect Master
In Xiangshan, at a well-known seaside barbecue stand, Zhao Shanhe met the Lei Sect Leader as he wished.
It was getting late, the sun was about to set, and the sunset filled the sky.
Sect Master Lei looked at Zhao Shanhe in front of him, and handed the menu in his hand to Zhao Shanhe: "Mr. Zhao, take a look at what you want to eat." ”
Zhao Shanhe shook his hand and refused: "Mr. Lei, you can come, and the guest is as you please." ”
Seeing that Zhao Shanhe was resolutely unwilling to order, the Lei Sect Master took back the hand that handed over the menu: "There's nothing taboo, right?"
"No, anything. Zhao Shanhe replied.
When the Sect Master Lei heard this, he put the menu aside and shouted directly to the guy: "Twenty skewers of pork belly, ten skewers of squid, fried clams, one prickly of beer, not enough to order again." ”
"Okay. The guy who was serving food on the other table said yes.
When the Thunder Sect Master ordered, Zhao Shanhe looked at the sea level.
"Mr. Zhao rarely goes to the beach to play, right?" Seeing that Zhao Shanhe had been staring at the beach scenic spot, Sect Master Lei asked with a smile.
Zhao Shanhe replied when he heard this: "Yes, although Zhonghai is also close to the sea, compared with Xiangshan, the gap is too big. ”
The place where the two of them met was set by the Thunder Sect Master.
Zhao Shanhe came relatively late, and it was definitely impossible to go to Jinshan to discuss business.
Zhao Shanhe didn't want to socialize, so he asked the Lei Sect Master to set a place at will, and the Lei Sect Master set the meeting place here.
After hearing Zhao Shanhe's words, Sect Master Lei said, "Xiangshan is a good place, if Mr. Zhao has time, he can stay for a few more days." I don't have anything to do these days, I can be your tour guide. ”
"If you have a chance, you've been very busy lately. Talk to you here, I still have to go to Yanjing. Zhao Shanhe directly rejected the Lei Sect Master, if he agreed, he would be a real fool.
It was obvious that Sect Master Lei was saying kind words, and if he was serious, he would lose.
Sect Master Lei showed a look of pity on his face: "That's a pity, next time." The next time you come to Xiangshan, you will definitely stay for a few more days. ”
"Heh, next time I come, it's a good thing that you don't show me a face. Zhao Shanhe thought in his heart, but on the surface, he echoed the words of the Lei Sect Master: "Certainly, definitely." ”
Since Zhao Shanhe is going to make protection software, he must be going to fight against Jinshan.
Although there is currently a three-power competition in China, Zhao Shanhe knows very well that Jiang Min has no competitiveness at all, and the main competition is Jinshan and Ruixing.
When the Lei Sect Master sees Zhao Shanhe, it is really difficult to say whether he will be as enthusiastic as he is now.
Zhao Shanhe felt that the gossip was almost over, so he brought the topic to the topic: "Mr. Lei, there is something I am very curious about, I don't know why you thought of promoting Jinshan in hao123." ”
At present, Jinshan is in a state of prosperity in China.
Due to the existence of WPS, Kingsoft can be described as the Microsoft of China.
"It's not impossible, hao123 is aimed at those netizens who have just come into contact with the Internet, and we in Kingsoft itself are competing with many companies. The business is complicated, and there are always netizens who need one of our products to promote on hao123. The domestic Internet has reached a stage of rapid development, and if it is still resting on its laurels as before, Jinshan will soon be thrown off. Sect Master Lei said with a wry smile.
Zhao Shanhe nodded, what Sect Master Lei said was not wrong at all.
Kingsoft started as a software, and WPS is a masterpiece, competing with Microsoft's Word.
Other large and small software, famous and not famous, many are very much.
In particular, software such as Kingsoft Typing that is very helpful for computer beginners will be of great benefit to Kingsoft if it is popularized.
However, Zhao Shanhe's main thing was not to agree with this, but the first sentence that Sect Master Lei said.
The core of the navigation website is to help those netizens who have just come into contact with the Internet to integrate into the Internet faster, which is something that many people in the industry can't imagine. Sect Master Lei could think of it, which made Zhao Shanhe feel that Sect Master Lei was indeed worthy of his reputation.
Sect Master Lei looked at Zhao Shanhe and nodded, and he was also sighing in his heart.
People in the industry are surprised that such a simple website as hao123 can create such a high value.
If he hadn't known that hao123 had become a big trend, Sect Leader Lei would really want to get involved.
You must know that in Zhao Shanhe's previous life, after the Lei Sect Master left Jinshan, he turned around and became an investor.
While the two were chatting, the guy at the barbecue stall brought beer and pork belly first.
"Come, Mr. Zhao, please first. Sect Master Lei pushed the plate with the skewers in front of Zhao Shanhe.
After Zhao Shanhe was polite, he took a bunch and began to eat.
At noon, I ate a little casually with Ma Huateng outside, it was past six o'clock at this time, and Zhao Shanhe was a little hungry.
"Mr. Lei, what do you think of Foxmail?" After the two of them drank a glass of beer, Zhao Shanhe suddenly asked.
Sect Master Lei looked at Zhao Shanhe, and seeing that Zhao Shanhe didn't seem to be laughing at himself, he smiled bitterly: "What else can I think, I myself met someone unladylike and lost a good project in vain." ”
"Haven't you thought about buying Foxmail again?" asked Zhao Shanhe.
Sect Leader Lei shook his head: "The price is too great, I want to collect it useless, the company will not agree." ”
"So, I'm interested in Foxmail, but unfortunately I don't have enough money. Otherwise, I'd like to take Foxmail over. Zhao Shanhe said with a smile.
Sect Leader Lei looked at Zhao Shanhe in surprise: "hao123 can develop to this point in the hands of President Zhao, there is really a reason." Actually, it's not Foxmail that I value, it's his developer, Zhang Xiaolong. It's a pity, alas. ”
"Hehe, fate is such a thing, you can't force it. Mr. Lei, maybe there is no fate between you. Zhao Shanhe said with relief.
There are not many people in the industry who know the reason why Sect Master Lei missed Foxmail, but there are many of them.
Zhao Shanhe happened to know about it, although he also heard about it.
Lei Jun nodded approvingly: "Yes, I can't force it." It's like hao123, if I had your vision and made it first, then the two of us wouldn't be able to sit together now. ”
When Zhao Shanhe heard this, he smiled: "It's because it's simple, so it's my turn to do it for someone who doesn't understand." You're elites, and you're certainly not interested in such simple things. ”
"Don't talk about this, Mr. Zhao is now famous in the circle. Sect Master Lei directly diverted the topic.
Zhao Shanhe said modestly: "I am just a junior who doesn't know how to do it, and I am lucky to stand on the cusp, not as good as a predecessor like you." ”
Hearing this, the Thunder Sect Master laughed: "If you talk about technology, I can be your senior, in terms of vision, I can't compare to you." ”
After several waves of business blowing each other, the two gradually became acquainted.
After a few glasses of wine, his speech was not as polite as at the beginning: "Mr. Lei, when will we sign the contract tomorrow?"
Zhao Shanhe came to Xiangjiang in person, on the one hand, he wanted to meet Sect Master Lei, and on the other hand, he wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible.
"In the morning, there are not too many details to discuss, just sign the contract. Sect Master Lei replied directly without even thinking about it.
The promotion of hao123 is too simple, just put the link of Kingsoft on it.
This is also the reason why Sect Master Lei has been saying so just now, let him do hao123, at most half a day, he can get the website out.
As for the link through train above, it's even simpler.
It's not like other advertisements, but pictures and stuff.
Zhao Shanhe saw that Sect Leader Lei answered so refreshingly, and his heart also relaxed, and he smiled and touched a glass with Sect Leader Lei.
After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Shanhe asked Sect Leader Lei again, "Mr. Lei, there is something I want to ask you." ”
"Mr. Zhao, you said. Sect Master Lei looked at Zhao Shanhe quietly, waiting for Zhao Shanhe to say it.
"I don't know if you have any opinions on paid and free? For example, game card and direct free. Zhao Shanhe wanted to probe the tone of the Thunder Sect Master and see what he thought about free.
After all, the protection software that Zhao Shanhe is about to make is ready to be done in the name of free, and it must be right to listen to the opinions and ideas of insiders.
It's just that Zhao Shanhe will definitely not let the Lei Sect Master guess his purpose, so he uses the game as an example.
Sect Master Lei thought for a moment and replied, "Paid and free, each has its own benefits. The Internet itself is for traffic, but traffic is for monetization. If you can find a suitable monetization model in the case of free, then it must be better to be free. But if the whole industry is in a cold winter like now, it must be better to pay. Because, you can only rely on payment to maintain a profit. Otherwise, I can't afford to eat, and it's free, so don't you push yourself into the grave? ”
"The Internet industry itself burns money very much. Like a game, it's better to play with fewer people. The more people play, the more servers you have. Servers don't fall from the sky, they all have to be bought. If you don't charge for free, who will pay for it. Venture capital: If you dare to do that, the venture capital can kill you. ”
"You don't have a suitable profit model, and the cash-burning venture capital can only admit it. But if you don't make this money when you can make money, that's not an excuse to make trouble for VCs. Mr. Zhao is going to make a game?"
"A little thought. Zhao Shanhe replied.
Another reason why Zhao Shanhe took the game as an example is that 4399 is about to be launched, so that a smoke bomb can be released.
Otherwise, let the Thunder Sect Master guess that he was going to make free protection software, and if he was prepared in advance, he would not be able to catch them off guard.
"Online games?" Sect Master Lei then asked.
Regarding Zhao Shanhe's next move, Sect Master Lei was still very interested.
hao123 is developing so well, with Zhao Shanhe's vision, there will definitely be a new development direction.
The domestic game market is still in a barren stage, and Sect Leader Lei feels that Zhao Shanhe should be interested in this piece.
Zhao Shanhe shook his head: "Casual game." ”
"Casual games, playing against Lianzhong?" Sect Master Lei looked at Zhao Shanhe curiously.
"No, I'm an online mini-game, playing directly on the web. Zhao Shanhe said.
Zhao Shanhe was not afraid that Sect Master Lei knew what he was going to do, after all, Jinshan was mainly based on software.
Although I also dabble in games, I can't match it with mini-games.
Thinking of Jinshan's game, Zhao Shanhe suddenly asked, "Mr. Lei, have you ever considered making an online game for swordsman love?"
Sect Master Lei looked at Zhao Shanhe in surprise, he had been thinking about this matter recently. I didn't expect Zhao Shanhe to pay attention to the love of swordsmen, it seems that Zhao Shanhe is really interested in the game market.
"I'm thinking about it, but the domestic game market is not very good now, and I'm a little entangled. Thunder Sect Master replied.
It's not that the Thunder Sect Master is defenseless against Zhao Shanhe, Swordsman Love is a stand-alone game.
Many die-hard fans of swordsman love have long been clamoring to let go of online games, to put it simply, it was meant to be done, and they can't hide it if they want to.
It's a good thing that someone helps spread the word.
Zhao Shanhe thought for a while and said: "There is still a market for swordsman love to make online games, and many people in our country are martial arts lovers. It's a pity that there is no martial arts game that fits the taste of our Chinese people, and if the swordsman love can be made into an online game, the market should not be bad. ”
"Hmm. Sect Master Lei nodded appreciatively.
For the swordsman love online game, the Thunder Sect Master has ideas.
The two of them chatted while eating, and soon ate twenty skewers of pork belly and ten skewers of squid.
A beer save, most of which also went into the stomachs of two people.
The two of them also ate about the same, and after the Lei Sect Master settled the account, the two of them left the barbecue stall and walked around the scenic spot.
When he walked to the beach, Sect Leader Lei said in a joking tone: "Mr. Zhao, you say, what we do, is it very similar to this wave?"
"Wave after wave, the front wave dies on the beach?" Zhao Shanhe looked at the Thunder Sect Master.
Sect Master Lei nodded: "Yes, I have been in the business for so long. I have seen too much, too many companies that were originally developing well, but because of strategic reasons, they were shot to death on the beach by latecomers. ”
"The Internet is not good if it is too stable, and it is not good if it is too aggressive. I really look at opportunities, opportunities, I really don't know what to say. ”
When Zhao Shanhe heard this, he stopped: "The times are developing, as long as we keep up with the pace of the times, don't stay the same, not to mention that we will definitely be able to stand on the tuyere all the time, at least it will not be so easy to be beaten to death by the back waves." ”
"Maybe wait for someone else to do it first, and you can know if you can do it. However, if others do it first, if they succeed, then it will take a lot of effort to compete. After all, in the Internet industry, one step ahead, then step by step, unless there is a big change, otherwise, it is difficult to catch up with the footsteps of others. ”
"Opportunities and risks always coexist. If Mr. Lei thinks that the online game of Swordsman Love is too risky, you can bring me if you don't mind. I'm quite optimistic about the online version of Swordsman Love. ”
Sect Master Lei also stopped with Zhao Shanhe's stop, and after listening to what Zhao Shanhe said, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhao is really a good idea, but unfortunately, Xishanju does not accept any investment." Otherwise, I wouldn't mind taking you with me. After all, it's good to have someone willing to help take the risk. ”
