Chapter 66: All are struggling

Chen Zier himself couldn't quite understand why Professor Wang was so excited, because in his opinion, even if all cities of all sizes adopted such a design, they should still be blocked.

He didn't understand the part of the theoretical argument, but Professor Wang was very interested, and he slowly put Chen Zier on his lips, because this usually inconspicuous student gave him another surprise.

This made Chen Zier regret it in his heart, he knew that he had told him before the exam, and he didn't have to work so hard to review, even if it was not enough 60 points, he might have given it as soon as the old man was happy, and he made a mistake and scored a lot more points, which was really a waste.

……

……

Xu Yan of Home Credit has been just as excited lately, a few days ago he received a promise from a person with the ability to invest that as long as the business plan is done well, there will be no problem with this financing.

Xu Yan is a native of S West, 28 years old this year, five years ago from his hometown to Zhonghai struggle, he himself is a computer student, very interested in this industry, these years has been mixed in major forums, has become a standard Internet geek.

The seeds of entrepreneurship have long been planted in his heart, in the fall of 96, he took out his savings and his friend Qian Xiaodong to start Gitzo, their idea is simple: people want to communicate on the Internet, then just like the real world, everyone always needs their own address, so they launched a mailbox service.

They are one of the gold diggers in the Internet field this year, but this monster that burns money and has no clear profit model makes every young person with dreams have to be cheeky and have the courage to find money.

Xu Yan was lucky, his girlfriend Chen Lin told him that he had met a young rich man and bought a house of nearly 500,000 yuan without blinking an eye.

It is important to be rich, but it is also important to be young, because only when you are young can you have the patience and interest to get in touch with new things.

Like the previous times, he put on that cheap ragged suit and typed the draft in his mind over and over again, carefully considering every word he had to say, he wanted to make that person have faith in him, in his Gitzo.

He almost failed, and the young man listened to his profit model and turned away.

Luckily, the man eventually changed his mind and promised him that as long as you make a viable business plan with a free mailbox, money is not an issue.

Xu Yan was ecstatic, he didn't know how much money he could raise, but even if it was only a few hundred thousand, it would be enough for Home Credit to survive for another half a year, and if he was lucky, there were several million, maybe Home Credit could hit the top Internet companies in the country.

When he returned to the company, he quickly found his partner Qian Xiaodong and his girlfriend Chen Lin, and the three of them discussed overnight how to draft this fateful business plan.

Qian Xiaodong also attaches great importance to it, the three of them are all salarymen, where is the amount of money, in order to start Home Credit, they took out all their savings, and borrowed a lot of money everywhere, it is not easy to survive until now, and they have saved the money they usually can buy a bottle of drink.

The company ran out of money on its books, but the number of mailbox users was growing, expensive server rentals had cornered them, and Home Credit hadn't paid its employees for two months.

So they are bound to get this financing, otherwise what awaits them is death.

Qian Xiaodong is full of beard, but he is in good spirits now, he and Xu Yan are both technical people, and they don't know much about business.

Qian Xiaodong said: "I went to find my classmate, who works in a large company, and must know more about these things than we do." ”

Xu Yan knew who he was talking about, that person was his college classmate, and now he was working as an assistant manager at the Microsoft branch in China, and he seemed to have a bright future.

Xu Yan said: "Didn't you say that the person looked down on people, you went to him for help, is it reliable?"

Qian Xiaodong was not 100% sure in his heart, but now is the moment of life and death, and he still cares about face, he muttered: "Always try it." He knows a lot more about business plans than we do, and having his help can increase our success rate. ”

This success rate is the probability of survival.

On December 31st, the news came from the United States on the other side of the Pacific that made every Internet geek extremely excited, and they high-fived each other and celebrated each other, as if the dawn of victory had broken through the thick fog and sprinkled into the world.

On December 31, 1997, Microsoft spent $350 million to acquire hotmail, the world's largest free Internet e-mail provider at the time.

$350 million, that's a lot of money.

Hotmail was co-founded by Jack Mies and Shabir Tia, an entrepreneur in India, in 1995, and started business operations on July 4, 1996, and was acquired at the end of '97, but in about two years, from scratch, $350 million was acquired.

Chen Zier remembered that Ding Lei, who had just founded NetEase, and his partners were affected by this incident and decided to take the development route of the free email system. And free mailboxes have a way out, and they have inadvertently proved it like this.

Home Credit's Xu Yan and Qian Xiaodong were even more shocked, and the young man said this: the mailbox must be free to have a way out!

Xu Yan immediately made a decision: "I'll quickly study the structure of the hotmail free mailbox system to see if I can learn from it, Xiaodong, you go to your friends for help, we must complete this plan in the fastest time." ”

Qian Xiaodong doesn't care so much, he is cheeky.

As long as they do well, Home Credit is the hotmail of the East, not to mention 350 million US dollars, just exchange the unit for RMB, and they can wake up with a smile!

Xue Bohua hastily passed the final exam, and the whole person had been thinking about renovating the second floor of the computer room, he found a housing structural engineer, and the two discussed it together for a long time.

In addition, in view of the popularity of the decoration style of the pudding convenience store, he also asked Chen Zier how to decorate the computer room.

It's actually a very new thing, and you don't have much experience.

However, the name of the Internet café is pudding, and the pudding convenience store gives people the feeling of being clean and fashionable.

But Xue Bohua was in a hurry, and he wished that the pudding Internet café would open tomorrow.

But no matter how anxious he is, he can't do it, because the winter vacation is coming soon, and Chen's mother Pan Meijuan's phone frequency has increased significantly these days, and she has been confirming when Chen Zier will go home.

I don't know if Sheng Qianyu can handle the matter of network management software, all in all, Xue Bohua has to wait.

But there was another thing that aroused Chen Zier's interest, as if Sheng Qianyu was going to go to the pudding to give a small-scale speech, and she really needed such an opportunity to exercise her courage and enhance her self-confidence......

Chen Zier thought it was a little interesting...... He was going to check it out.
