Chapter 436 Internet Service Reality
Sun Dawei brought over a draft of the Strait Investigation Committee the next afternoon, and he meant that since the Strait Investigation Committee was to be established, he would not be in a hurry to talk to Yahoo for the time being, because Yahoo's project was only one of the tasks of the Strait Investigation Commission, and it might be more effective to talk about it in the name of the Strait Investigation Committee.
Liang Yifei was noncommittal about this, and only said that he would go to Yahoo for convenience after he went back, after all, Sun Dawei had no prophet, and he didn't know that in two or three months, SoftBank would inject a lot of money like Yahoo, so there was not much time to wait for this opportunity.
However, these words could not be said explicitly, and Liang Yifei himself attached more importance to the matter of the Strait Investigation Conference, so he took two days to do nothing, discussed in detail with Sun Dawei, and finally drew up a rough preliminary framework.
Set up a headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area, the location, just between Stanford University and Silicon Valley, the staffing of Sun Dawei can be determined by the situation, the principle is best to focus on the new era or Chinese students, the funding is temporarily uncertain, first 100,000 US dollars for office purposes, and then say, if the development is good in the future, you can open branches in other cities in the United States.
Externally, this overseas research conference can deal with more Chinese students, not only in the new era, but even not limited to China, as long as it is confirmed by Sun Dawei, international students who are indeed in need can be funded to a certain extent, of course, the way of funding is not limited to money.
For example, in the center, coordinate these people to go to various companies for internships.
Liang Yifei also gave Sun Dawei several very specific tasks.
Even if Yahoo can't talk about it, it's fine, but these tasks must be implemented.
First, always pay attention to the development of the Internet search engine industry in the United States.
At present, AOL has the largest search engine in the United States, or the world, but it is still very unprofessional, and it has been rejected by Yahoo when it intends to acquire Yahoo, and the purpose of its acquisition of Yahoo is to do search based on the current Yahoo.
Liang Yifei is not a professional in this area, and only knows a general principle of search engines: like a spider's web, covering all corners of the network, and then screening the results, the key to this lies in the huge coverage ability, and highly refined search algorithms, Yahoo is relatively leading in this regard.
This is especially true for new search engine companies.
Liang Yifei almost said Google.
He is not in this major, and he will not study Google in the exact year he will appear in MBA, but he can only have a very vague general impression based on memory, that is, between 96 and 98.
It doesn't matter if Yahoo's round of soup doesn't catch up, Google's round has to be eaten, and the latter's potential and influence are even greater in comparison.
Using the Maritime Survey Committee and combining with a limited number of prophets to find the world's top enterprises in the future that have not yet been born is one of the important purposes of Liang Yifei's establishment of this organization.
This is a medium-term task.
The second task is to keep a close eye on Apple's development process.
Apple started out as a computer, but Steve Jobs's interest in hardware was always limited, and he always focused on manipulating the system, which led to the ups and downs of Apple and himself in the early 90s.
Especially after the advent of in95, Apple's operating system has been dealt a fatal blow.
In Liang Yifei's plan, cultivating a group of talents who understand operating systems, have R&D capabilities, and chip talents, and keep up with international advanced technology, this is a long-term work, and can be implemented from now, so the start of these international students will be on the same level as the most advanced international level to prepare for the future.
Of course, this is a long-term task.
As for the longer-term, such as keeping an eye on emerging companies, this is the lifelong work of this research office.
If after 2000, Liang Yifei has this ability, he can intervene on Facebook, Youtub, or even porn.
Japan has Son Masayoshi, China can also have Liang Yifei, when it comes to investment vision, no one in the world is stronger than him.
The first two tasks are not imminent, but the third task is to be done immediately.
"Last time I heard a classmate say that the United States is now buying books online?" asked Liang Yifei seemingly casually.
"I don't know. Sun Dawei shook his head, his face dazed.
"You go back and ask, I heard, it seems to be over there in Seattle. There's a website called Amazon or something, where you can buy books directly from it and have them delivered to your door. I think this model is very promising, and when you go back to the United States, you can investigate it yourself, and it's best to find the other person and tell them that I want to talk to them. Liang Yifei said.
According to the logic of normal thinking, Sun Dawei doesn't know in the United States, but Liang Yifei knows it clearly in China, and even the name of the place is said, which is somewhat suspicious.
But after these few days, Sun Dawei's impression of Liang Yifei before returning to China has changed dramatically, I was worried that this domestic boss did not understand the Internet such a high-tech, but I didn't expect that although Liang Yifei did not understand technology, he knew a lot about the new thing of the Internet, and many of them were bottom-up, even deeper than his major.
Sometimes chatting with Liang Yifei about the Internet, Sun Dawei feels as if he is chatting with professors in the university who are at the forefront of the world, it should be said, learning.
So his first reaction now is to ask, "What do you think is good about this business model?"
"It connects online and offline, directly to the end user. Liang Yifei said another sentence that shocked Sun Dawei.
"I don't really understand that the existence of the Internet is precisely because it is detached from the real world and creates a virtual network world that can be communicated and shared?" Sun Dawei did not explain.
Liang Yifei thought for a while and said: "I think the first thing to understand is what is the purpose of the Internet's existence? In addition to obtaining information, it still has to serve the real world, so the key to the success of the Internet, at least I think, lies in what it can provide for reality." ”
After a pause, he added: "Even if you say that obtaining information and communicating with each other is for the sake of making it more convenient for human beings to work and live in the real world and to relieve the loneliness in reality, in the final analysis, it is all for the sake of serving reality." Buying books is one of the essential parts of the life of the American middle class, and it has grasped this piece, at least it has found a customer base that can be relied on. You see the Internet as technology, I see the Internet as business, and there is nothing more important than finding the right customers to do business. ”
