There was no snow a year ago, and I thought that this winter would not fall again, but I didn't think that on the fourth day of the new year, there was no sign in the morning, and after lunch, fine snowflakes fluttered and fell from the air. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the evening, the howling cold wind continued to whimper, and the temperature dropped to the lowest point since the beginning of the year.

Although the weather is cold, everyone's enthusiasm for the New Year has not diminished, especially for the brothers and sisters of Gu's father and mother, the whole family is shrouded in a joyful atmosphere.

Gu Heng did not favor one over the other, since he proposed to help a few cousins start a business, the aunt's family, as well as the uncle's and aunt's family, would naturally treat everyone equally, and they also helped to give advice.

For example, at his uncle's house, Gu Heng proposed that they open a water plant, which is also the road they walked in their previous life around 2010, but due to factors such as capital and channels, the scale is small, and the sales are only limited to some areas of Lianshui City.

Now that he has his own financial help and intervened in this market earlier, Gu Heng has certain expectations for this, and he does not dare to say that he can compete with Wahaha, Nongfu Spring and other products, as long as he can cut out a little bit in this huge drinking water market and spread the market to the entire Hunan Province, it is enough to incubate a brand with a market value of hundreds of millions.

For another example, the aunt's family are honest people and have no talent for doing business, so he suggested that the aunt and the uncle start a joint venture, with more sufficient funds and more room for development, and in the early stage of entrepreneurship, the uncle's driving skills can also come in handy.

………

After visiting relatives after the New Year, on the night when Gu Heng's family returned to Lianshui City, Gu's father and Gu mother finally couldn't hold back and expressed some worries in their hearts.

"If you lend so much money to Gu Qiang and them, it won't affect your own company!"

This is Gu's mother's worry, Gu Heng's rich and noble practice of not forgetting to bring relatives is very satisfied, after all, uncle and aunt are her mother's siblings, and it is of course good to be able to watch them live a good life. But then again, in the heart of a mother, the first thing is still her son, and if she delays her son's business because of this, it will definitely not be what she wants.

Each family is three million, and this shot is twenty or thirty million!

"Xiao Heng can make this decision, naturally he thinks it through, he is in charge of a large company, and the accounts are not as clear as you? I am just worried that Xiaoqiang and they can't grasp the direction, so they said that Xiaojun and them, they used to just work in the factory, and suddenly came to do business, can they do well?"

Gu's father took over the topic and expressed his concerns, doing business requires brains, and the transaction of millions of dollars is not as simple as opening a commissary, worried that Xiaoqiang will not have that ability.

Gu's mother nodded on the side and agreed: "Yes, yes, your father is right, Xiao Heng, you have to watch this matter more." ”

"Dad, Mom, you can rest assured, the ideas I gave them are relatively easy to get started, and there is nothing too high a threshold, what is sold is a resource and characteristics, just like the development of the farmhouse, as long as the framework is set up, some special projects are launched, the publicity and promotion work is done well, and the relationship is dredged, and the business will be very good in the future." Besides, uncle's side, there are two high-quality water resources in the local village, as long as you win the right to contract, pass the water quality test, and then buy a set of water purification equipment to start production, as for the most critical sales, this is a water mill kung fu, but no matter what, now the market competition in this piece is relatively small, as long as you are willing to spend effort to promote the market, it is not a problem to earn a million a year. ”

Gu Heng said that he was very confident, and it was precisely because he knew that this kind of business was easy to get started, so he recommended it to Gu Qiang, as long as it was steady, even if it could not be rich, it was enough as an heirloom.

It's just that what he didn't say at the time has another meaning, if they do well enough to prove their ability, then he won't really ignore it in the future, on the contrary, he will expand investment and help them run a good brand.

Although he doesn't have much demand for everyone, he still has some expectations in his heart, and he expects that everyone can seize this opportunity to make a name for themselves, and in five or ten years, his brothers and sisters can also become the number one person in the city and even the province.

………

After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Heng went to Xiangshi first, and as for Gu's father and Gu's mother, they planned to wait for the Lantern Festival before leaving.

2004 was an extremely critical year for Gu Heng's career blueprint.

At last year's year-end meeting, the company had already set the strategic development direction for this year, eliminated Tengxun, and booked the position of an Internet giant in advance.

The strength of Renren is not bad, but the opponent is not a weak chicken, as the Teng Xun with the largest user group on the Internet today, the little penguin has a strong lethality, if you only rely on these chips and weapons on the table today, it is almost impossible to shake Teng Xun.

Therefore, after the annual leave, Renren and Hengcheng started the rhythm of high-speed operation and are ready to go.

Two days before the Lantern Festival, Gu Heng received an MSN message from Xu Tingting.

A few screenshots, to be exact!

Within the scope of colleges and universities in the United States, a social software called Facebook has been quietly launched.

The message sent by Xu Tingting was about some information about Facebook, and asked: "This platform is called Facebook, which is a popular dating platform in the Boston University circle recently, and the first stop I flew back to the United States this time was to go there to play, and I accidentally found this, I took a look, the creativity is very similar to your Renren network, will it affect you?"

There is definitely an impact, and the positive impact is that it can improve the quality of Renren. After the development of Facebook, when everyone studies its development history, whether they want to or not, it has to carry the pot of imitating Renren.com, and as a melon-eating masses, it is natural that they will feel high, and look, even the most successful social platform in the United States is an imitation of Renren.com, how awesome.

Of course, there are negative effects, if Renren intends to enter the international market in the future, then Facebook is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, in the case of little difference in the strength of the two sides, Facebook's innate attributes, will undoubtedly make it more favored by the international market, one is the United States is the world, and the other is that English is the world's largest language, and Facebook, born in the United States, can cater to the international market faster.

Well, Gu Heng admits that he is thinking a little too far, if he wants to enter the international market, he has to face too many problems, and he is far from being qualified to consider those many problems.

Faced with Xu Tingting's kind reminder, Gu Heng thought for a while and replied: "I want to have an idea in my head, even the students of the United States come to imitate my creativity, on this earth, there is something I can't do." ”

Typing the words, Gu Heng touched his face, well, it's not hot, his chest, and his heartbeat is not fast.

There's nothing wrong with it, in this world, Facebook is the second on Renren!

"You say, how about launching a similar dating platform here at my Delaware campus?"

"Uh...... , play really?"

Gu Heng was silent at first, and then thought of something, intending to confirm further.

Xu Tingting replied: "Serious face, I want to start a business and make money from the people of the United States!"

"Wait, my head is a little messy right now, let me think about it. ”

Three minutes later, Gu Heng replied: "If you really have this idea, I will give you a few suggestions, first, find a few partners, who are of the United States nationality and understand the Internet." Second, if you want to do it, you can do it well, spend money in the early stage to build momentum, you want to occupy the college student market before Facebook, if you don't have money, look for me, and in the first round, I can invest three million dollars and give me a part of the shares. Third, if you are really successful, are you ready to become a U.S. citizen? That's all for now, you think about it before replying. ”

Xu Tingting spent a day thinking about this issue, I don't know if reason overwhelmed sensibility, or emotion overwhelmed reason, and the final reply she gave was: "Send money, I decided to be adopted by you." ”
