Chapter 81 The Internet Changes the World
Chen Zier saw that it was Xu Yan, but he didn't know what was going on with him.
Picking up the phone, a very respectful voice came from there, "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Jixin Xu Yan, didn't bother you, right?"
Chen Zier glanced at Shi Yangqing, whose face was as usual, and said, "No, you can tell me something." ”
In the temporary office of Home Credit, Xu Yan made an 'ok' gesture to his girlfriend Chen Lin and Qian Xiaodong, and then said slowly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that according to your suggestion to make a portal before, we have done almost everything, and if it goes well, it will be launched in the near future." ”
"Yes? Congratulations. I believe that the judgment of the portal will not be wrong, but the topic of the news should be well chosen, and I feel that it is better to find an experienced editor who specializes in the media industry. ”
Xu Yan took the opportunity to say: "Regarding this matter, my partner and I would like to hear your advice. ”
Chen Zier felt that there was nothing wrong with this, "Okay, then the day after tomorrow, I'll go over the day after tomorrow." ”
Xu Yan said yes.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zier remembered that he had said that he wanted to find someone to monitor the flow of funds to Home Credit a few years ago, but at that time, because there was no suitable candidate and it was close to the end of the year, so he put it on hold.
Now that I think about it, this person seems to be really hard to find......
Chen Zier frowned unconsciously.
Shi Yangqing saw that he was stunned, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Zier saw Shi Yangqing and suddenly thought that there must be a lot of high-end people in the workplace who he had contacted, so he tentatively asked: "Does Mr. Shi know someone who understands both finance and the Internet?"
"Internet?" Shi Yangqing thought as he bit the beef in his mouth, "I know a lot of CFO, but I have little contact with the Internet, this industry is just starting now, and it will take at least ten years to form an ecology, right?"
Chen Zier listened to her pessimistic views on the Internet, and some words were not said until he came to his lips, and debating with Shi Yangqing was the most boring thing he felt, because she was too logical and did not have enough facts, and it was too difficult to convince people like her.
"Forget it, I'll just ask, it's okay, I'll look for it myself. ”
Shi Yangqing asked, "You invested in the portal?" she had just heard the word.
Chen Zier nodded, "That's right, I think it's a little interesting, so I invested a little money in it." ”
"Can you tell me about the Internet? ”
Chen Zier sighed in his heart: Niucha people have some good habits, obviously they are not very optimistic about the Internet, but they still have a thirst to understand new things, just like a sponge that will never be saturated, constantly absorbing new things.
But where to start?
"It's such a big concept, and if you want me to say, I really don't know where to start for a while. ”
Shi Yangqing nodded lightly, and then said, "Then let's talk about the portal, didn't you just invest in this." ”
Chen Zier thought for a while, and then said: "The portal is: I have something here, you all come and take a look." ”
Shi Yangqing was stunned, "It's gone?"
"It's gone. ”
"What about your business plan, your profit model, and the update of your website?"
Chen Zier's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "I am not a professional manager, how do I know." ”
"But you've spent money to make investments, you should know the most basic, right? Do you just do business based on a concept?"
Chen Zier said: "Concepts are very important in the Internet. ”
Chen Zier said: "Let's put it this way, I remember there is a saying in Yinghaiwei, which says: We all know that after 2000, we will make money, but we don't know what to do now." ”
"This is the confusion when entering the Internet field, not one or two people who are confused, but everyone who is confused. Therefore, it is very important to understand the concept of the Internet, and anyone who can't figure this out, no matter how much money he is given, no matter how good the business model is, it will not be able to do well, just like Infohighway. ”
This is indeed a pity, this domestic Internet leader, since the beginning of 98 can no longer hide its decline.
"The idea of the portal is very clear, make good things and attract netizens to come and see, but what can attract netizens? When Yinghaiwei returned to Hong Kong in 97, it spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to do activities with the theme of 'patriotism', but netizens didn't buy it at all. So this thing is not simple at all. ”
Shi Yangqing is smart enough, which is the same as the fact that a physical enterprise launches a product, and consumers don't buy it at all.
But what was more strange about her was Chen Zier's self-confidence, "Since everyone is confused, why do you think you can see clearly?"
Chen Zier said nonsense: "I can see that some of them are too big, just spend 500,000 yuan to try some angel investment." ”
He went on to explain: " Because if the content of the website is good enough, the result will be different immediately, the expansion of Internet companies is super fast, they are not limited by supply channels, in recent years, has not been talking about channel is king, people say that no matter how good your product is, there must be a channel to send it to consumers, but for Internet companies, there are no such constraints at all, as long as you grasp a right point, the traffic of the website will go up, so you look at Yahoo, look at AOL, look at hotmail, are only a few years of life of enterprises, but their valuationIt's hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. ”
"Do you know how much advertising revenue Yahoo made in '97?"
Shi Yangqing asked, "How many?"
"$90 million, and he only started the 'baby' company in '94. ”
Shi Yangqing was silent, and she said: "But the number of domestic netizens is limited after all, and home computers are too expensive, which is a huge obstacle. ”
Chen Zier said: "It will slowly get better, and although some things are difficult, someone has to do them." ”
Shi Yangqing looked at Chen Zier and thought, "Do you really think these Internet companies will succeed?"
Chen Zier nodded firmly, "It will definitely be, and soon, the Internet is changing the world." ”
"Then how about I also invest with you?"
"Ahh
Shi Yangqing said: "I'm not very optimistic myself, but I'm optimistic about your vision." ”
She then explained: "Sometimes if you are too rational, it is easy to rub with others, if you are too obedient to emotions, you will be swayed by emotions, and if you are too insistent on your own opinions, you may end up at the end of the road." Therefore, this world is not suitable for people......"
"But if I change my perspective and choose to believe you once, maybe there will be unexpected effects. ”
"Trust me?"
"Yes, when I first met you, I thought you had both insight and taste, and now I want to add one more, I also think that you have enough endowment for business, your thinking is different from most business people, in fact, in any industry, thinking and concepts are very important, but not as prominent as the Internet. ”
Chen Zier was really a little uncomfortable being praised by such an excellent strong woman, "Really voted?"
"Really, and didn't you say that these companies will expand exponentially in a few years, in case they succeed, my little 'small money' may make a big profit. ”
Chen Zier thought that there seemed to be nothing inappropriate, and he believed that with the guidance of his own 'advanced Internet thought', failure should not be possible.
But he's not a philanthropist, so there's always something good about making you rich, right?
"If you succeed, you are willing to fully trust my vision and philosophy...... Do you want to take up a position in Pudding?"
