"I came to you this time mainly to talk about the company's new strategic development direction in the future!" Lin Qi said with a smile.

"A new strategic development direction?" Ueshima and William Zhang couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes!" Lin Qi said, "The Pangu computer of the New Venture Electronics Group can only be regarded as an ordinary personal computer at present. It supports offline games, music, movies and television, office and other functions. Even if some users are connected to the Internet, they are mainly only sending e-mails or accessing specific BBS. Basically, it is to read and communicate in a text-only way. However, this is not the case with the real Internet. With the development of technology, the Internet will have more interactive functions, for example, more content-rich websites, users can not only see text, but also images, and even, music, video, ......"

"Are these technologies mature?" said Ueshima with a frown.

"It's quite mature, at least, in the laboratories of our group companies. Lin Qi said proudly, "In terms of Internet technology, our company's laboratory, currently mature technology, is at least five years ahead of the world. As for the projects that are still under development, there are not a few that are ten years ahead of the world or even more. ”

William Zhang nodded and said, "I don't doubt this. In fact, the Group's BBS is already the most popular BBS in the world, with more than 50,000 users visiting it every day. Not only our own employees, but also other users around the world who are not our company have registered for BBS!

At present, many countries do not have special Internet broadband lines. Instead, the network is connected to the modem through a telephone line. At present, the world's most commonly used modem has a speed of only 2400 bit/s to access the Internet, which is converted into a download speed that users understand, and the download speed is only about 0.2KB per second......

It is precisely because of this that the Internet speed is too slow, so the current mainstream Internet in the world is basically a text-only version of email and BBS services.

This garbage-like infrastructure limits people's imagination about the Internet. However, it is precisely because of the current level of hardware garbage that many business opportunities have not been seized!

"With the popularization of Internet technology, the cost of communication will definitely come down! Moreover, the future network speed is also rising rapidly, and now the 2K network speed will soon increase to 20K, 200K, 1M, 10M, 100M. The speed at which ordinary users access the network is getting faster and faster, and the ecology on the Internet is gradually enriching to the point that it affects reality. In the future, the communication within the modern company is no longer even telephone, mobile phone, a lot of work is carried out through the Internet instant messaging and e-mail, etc., the telephone is only a supplementary tool. Watching the news, users will also read less and less newspapers, and choose to read the news online. In addition, the Internet can also be used for shopping, and users can purchase goods without leaving home. Even, merchants can also sell goods without leaving home, because the purchase can be submitted on the Internet, the delivery of logistics companies is also through the Internet to receive orders, the process of transportation and delivery of goods, the progress of logistics, can also be queried through the Internet...... "Lin Qi said, "It can be said that the semiconductor and computer industry at this stage is only to make preliminary preparations for the Internet industry! The future Internet is the key to why computers will flourish!"

When Uejima and William Zhang heard this, they felt as if they were listening to myths. If an ordinary person talks to them about this kind of thing, the situation is better, and they will think that he is a science fiction writer. If this person seems a little paranoid and excited, he may be mistaken for a psychopath.

But a successful person like Lin Qi is more convincing to say.

"Boss, how should the Internet be laid out?" said William Zhang.

"First of all, at this stage, you can register more domain names and hoard domain names, and the North American branch has a unique advantage...... "Lin Qi said," Lin Qi said, "and then you can invest in some startups that may have something to do with the Internet." For example, hardware companies that make routers and switches, and entrepreneurial teams that make dial-up software and BBS programs. Of course, any kind of project that may have a future on the Internet can be invested if it doesn't take much money to invest in the initial stage. Of course, some companies that do not seem to be the Internet, but it is okay to have software and hardware companies that have transformed in the direction of the Internet! In short, the Internet is a completely new field, and everyone is not clear about what the future industry pattern will be. To be clear, this is the direction in which this is the most worthwhile investment. Invest in all directions, cast a wide net, as long as a few projects can be developed, the overall harvest in the future is not low!"

After informing William Zhang of the direction, Lin Qi looked at Ueshima and said, "The environment in Japan is different. It is estimated that for a long time, not many people in Japan are interested in Internet entrepreneurship, so it can only be the new venture electronics group as a pioneer, and the Japanese branch directly does its own Internet projects, and will do offline comics and publishing on the Internet. To open a professional and comic website, no, it must be a paid website, but it is cheaper than offline paper books to attract users to buy. In addition, the authors are paid remuneration with the proceeds of the fee. Only in this way can a new type of business form of self-hematopoiesis and endogenous growth be formed. ”

When Uejima heard this, he said, "What about games, film and television projects?"

"This ...... At present, the hardware facilities of the Internet have determined that online games are not yet mature. Lin Qi smiled and said, "When the network speed gradually increases, online games will be possible! Not to mention Internet film and television, this project will take at least 20 years, and it is impossible to make a profit, whether it is through paid viewing or advertising mode." However, by the 21st century, the Internet hardware infrastructure of all countries in the world has gradually improved, which is a good direction!"

In order to let the two generals have a concept of the Internet, Lin Qi directly asked the two to use the "Pangu Browser" developed by the New Venture Electronics Group, enter the IP address in the browser, and visit the homepage of the company's newly developed official website.

Although, this new entrepreneurial electronics group homepage is very simple in Lin Qi's opinion. However, it was Ueshima and William Zhang who were shocked.

The information displayed on the web page is both text and images. The content is richer, even more than traditional newspapers and magazines. Moreover, after the content is released, users who can connect to the Internet in any region of the world may see these pages in any region of the world!

"This is the company's official website, you don't need to enter this IP address in the future, and after the domain name is registered, you can directly enter the domain name and you can jump to the website. Lin Qi said with a smile, "We should be the first company in the world to use hypertext technology to produce the company's official website! The official content is distributed in English, Chinese, Japanese, French, and other languages in different regions of the world. The company's various contact information, whether it is business cooperation or after-sales service, are clearly written on the official website. The contact information includes not only the phone number, but also the e-mail address, and our company is ready to develop its own instant messaging software TT! This can reduce the barriers for customers to contact and communicate with us, so that we can virtually talk to more customers and talk about business on the Internet!"

"Boss!" William said affirmatively, "I don't know if the Internet has the power to change the world. However, I can understand...... The company's official website is really great! We can even make this kind of platform for other companies to display their products and news information, and it is definitely possible to make money!"

"This ......" Lin Qi felt speechless, making official websites for others, this kind of business was later done by third-rate Internet outsourcing companies. Any first-class Internet company will hire someone to make a website by itself, so as to avoid any backdoor on the website and in the hands of others.

Unfortunately, William Zhang only saw such a little mosquito meat, and other hoarding some valuable domain names, or servers, browsers, instant messaging software, and even specialized email services, which can be called a greater business opportunity. However, William Zhang turned a blind eye......

Ueshima was very interested in William Zhang's proposal and said: "Yes, perhaps, many companies don't understand the Internet, but this kind of official website, which can be accessed anywhere in the world, is very important for the company's brand image." Like some big companies, I spend $1 million a year to have an official website that enhances my brand image, and I would definitely be willing to do it!"

You know, the humble official website of later generations does not even need to be done by special code farmers, but can be made through templates. Even, later artificial intelligence programs can replace low-end coders to copy code. After some low-end code farmers received the job, they basically copied everything from east to west, and then did it perfunctory. And these things that lack creativity, and even, smart programs can already do better. Many of the AI projects in later generations included taking code farmers and letting the program write the program itself. Of course, in terms of completely original programs, artificial intelligence has not surpassed humans in later generations. However, piecing together a solution based on the existing code, this kind of thing, artificial intelligence can already replace low-end coders.
