Chapter 51: Guiding Daddy into the Pit
Chen Feng was very hurt, he was engaged in IT, he couldn't speak, and he never quarreled with Shi Jia.
But his wife is a knife mouth and a tofu heart, Chen Feng knows that he is really down, how can his wife only raise his son and not him.
"Okay, I'll really quit my job after the New Year and go out on my own. Chen Feng confirmed to Shi Jia again.
"It should have come out a long time ago, I still work so hard at such an age, I work overtime, my life will be gone sooner or later, and I can live a few more years if I come out early. Shi Jia was not joking, he was very serious, and agreed to let Chen Feng come out to start a business.
Chen Ziang on the side was already dumbfounded.
Mom, this is God's assist, and the most difficult first step is to let Dad quit and go out on his own.
He hasn't mentioned the slightest bit of QQ, and he's still thinking about how to coax his dad out to work for him in the future, so his mother silently helped him take his dad out.
Daddy came out to work alone, didn't he just fall into his pit?
"Dad, what are you doing when you come out to do it alone, do you have any direction?" Chen Ziang asked excitedly.
Facing the reality, Chen Feng's high spirit and ambition just now were gone, and he said depressedly: "Children care about adults, you just need to study yours." ”
"Do you want to open a store or an IT company?" asked Shi Jia for Chen Ziang.
Chen Feng can be angry with his son, but he can't move his wife, and said honestly: "I open an IT company, take over some projects, I don't understand how to open a store." ”
Chen Zi raised his eyebrows, Dad's idea is very normal, he does his old job, and the risk of the entrepreneurial model is relatively low, the project is the fastest profitable, it is easier to survive, make his own products, he can't sell them, or long-term projects, which require a lot of time and money to pave the way, and it is easy to go out of business.
"Dad, you have been working in IT for so many years, you should have seen a lot of products, do you want to make a product you want and promote it to the society and the world?" asked Chen Ziang.
Chen Feng wanted to answer, he also wanted to, but he felt that his son was a big fart and knew something, so he didn't bother to tell his son, so he said angrily: "What do you know, don't meddle in adult affairs." ”
Chen Ziang was depressed, his father was actually very macho, and fortunately he met his mother's nemesis, otherwise the family would not be harmonious, and he often fell out.
"Say!" Shi Jia said coldly to Chen Feng, he was too much for his son.
As everyone knows, she is also very excessive to Chen Feng.
The family is reporting and reporting.
However, Chen Feng, like Chen Ziang, can endure it, so he had to answer obediently: "IT people like us, many people have ideas and want to make a unique software, but this kind of thing can only be thought about, many people who start such a business have failed." Making your own products is relatively risky, and it is possible that after making it, others will not like it, you can't sell it, you can't use it, and you won't be able to return home. Unlike taking on a project, they will pay for it regardless of whether the product software is useful to the customer or not, and we don't need to take the risk of profit and loss. This is how many Internet companies start, and only when they are profitable and have money in their accounts do they dare to step into other fields or develop their own products. ”
Chen Ziang really didn't know much about this, but after listening to his father's words, he thought about it, and what he said made a lot of sense.
It seems that Daddy's entrepreneurship is also the safest path.
"Dad, do you think the current way of communication is convenient?" After Chen Feng finished speaking, Chen Ziang suddenly asked.
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, and didn't want to answer, but after looking at Shi Jia, he had to say: "What's inconvenient, it's convenient to make calls and send text messages, and the communication fee is not expensive." Some packages also have free call minutes and text messages, and people who don't make many calls can't finish the free minutes in a month, and they can't send enough free text messages. ”
Chen Ziang shook his head secretly, it seems that in this world, in this era, people are still relatively satisfied with the status quo.
It may also be that someone thought of it, but didn't dare to take action.
Thinking about QQ in the previous life, it has always been a free business model, there was no profit model at the beginning of its establishment, but the operating costs are burning all the time, and the server alone is a big expense.
Lao Ma and his team persisted for less than a year, and the money was almost burned out, and in the absence of capital injection, they had to plan to sell, and the price went from 3 million, 2 million, to 600,000 below psychological expectations, before someone was finally willing to take over.
It's just that at the moment of signing and drawing, Lao Ma refused. He was reluctant to sell his hard work, so he could only continue to look for people to borrow money, and he was once so poor that he rubbed other people's servers.
The rise of QQ has invested too much in the early stage, and ordinary people really can't bear it.
In his previous life, Lao Ma also found many investors and investment companies, including Internet geniuses, who are known as the kind of geniuses who have insight into the future of the Internet, but they are not optimistic and are not willing to invest.
Thinking of this situation, Chen Ziang somewhat figured out why QQ didn't appear in this world.
"Dad, now the network is quite developed, it is convenient to watch videos and TV on the Internet, do you think that you can develop a software that can be used for online instant messaging? That is, users register this software, and then you can use this software to chat and send messages on the Internet like mobile communication tools. Chen Ziang asked curiously about the baby's appearance.
Chen Feng was stunned, how did his son think of this, but it was not special to think about it, he explained: "The software developed by mobile operators is a tool that can be said to be dispensable attached to the business. If you really want to develop a tool that users can register for online chat, it's not impossible, but this kind of thing is to be a good person with nothing to eat, do you think it doesn't cost to maintain this software? I'll provide you with a tool to chat, no money? If I ask for money, then what are you using it for, mobile phone phone text messages, or mobile operators' own tools, can't you use it?"
Chen Ziang has a headache, but at the same time, he is also glad that his father's thinking is definitely the thinking of most IT people.
People who think of developing this software probably know that if they want to survive in the online instant messaging software, they can only be free, benefiting others and themselves.
To charge, it is better to use the tools of mobile phone carriers.
"Dad, this thing is necessary for free, so as to attract users and accumulate users. Chen Ziang discussed with Chen Feng.
Shi Jia couldn't interject at all on the side, she didn't understand it yet.
Chen Feng really couldn't get used to his son arguing with his peers like this, so he sneered: "Free? Burning money to attract users and accumulate users, this is to let as many people as possible know that I am a good person and serve the people?"
Shi Jia kicked Chen Feng: "Speak well." ”
Chen Feng immediately changed his tone: "Businessmen put profit first, whether they can accumulate users first, how to make a profit, how to find the right profit model, everyone can't see this, no one is willing to burn so much money to make a software with an uncertain future in the early stage." ”
