In most people's memory.

The year 1999 will be the starting point for the rapid development of China's Internet, specifically China's social networks.

But really speaking.

The year 2000 was the beginning of the wave of social networking.

Li knows better than anyone what Tencent's next move will have on China's social networking market.

I know better what kind of cyber empire Tencent will create.

Although the speed of development of the circle of friends after the trial operation is gratifying, in comparison, QQ before the name change is still more rapid.

By the end of 1999, the number of registered users of QQ had exceeded the 1 million mark for the first time, and this number has at least doubled so far.

Undoubtedly.

Li Yang could almost predict how terrifying the development speed of QQ would be once the name was changed, which was the main reason why Li Yang immediately made up his mind after receiving a call from Chen Xiaowu.

Very simple.

If you don't catch up, then the circle of friends will definitely be crushed by QQ all the way, and it will be even more difficult to surpass the past.

in the conference room.

Li Yang made a long story short, and after relaying Chen Xiaowu's news to the heads of various departments attending the meeting, he immediately proposed to start the free trial of the network management system immediately.

The atmosphere in the conference room was immediately frozen.

Although Li Yang has already made a notice, the opposition in the company is still relatively obvious.

The biggest disagreement is undoubtedly the debate over whether to fully liberalize or to carry out trial trials first.

"Boss, if it is fully implemented immediately, there will be no new profits in the company for the next two months, and this risk must be considered in advance. ”

Li Yang's face was still unmoving.

Through the glass in front of him, his eyes swept the expressions on the faces of everyone in the conference room, and he had been thinking about the question of time in his heart.

Wait for Zhuo Baolin to finish speaking.

Only then did he take a sip of the cup in front of him, put down the glass and said with a smile: "Then have you ever considered that if the pilot is carried out first, then this cycle will inevitably be extended for more periods of time, and then it will be more than two months."

And it is very likely that there will be some unexpected situations, but it is better to put it in place directly from the beginning, so that even if there is any problem, we can solve it within the free cycle.

When it comes time to charge again, the questions we need to consider will be much simpler. ”

Listen to Li Yang's words.

Zhuo Baolin was silent for a moment.

He is a technical backbone, not a marketing officer, but such a simple truth is still clear.

The fundamental purpose of Li Yang's free trial is to bind the marketing advertisements of the circle of friends.

The advantage of being completely free is that it allows the trial to accept this binding model, but what if you try it out, what if there is an objection?

When the time comes, will there be disagreements that some people oppose or simply do not accept it?

According to common sense.

When people try a product for free, even if there is an objection, they will not take action at the root.

However, if it is a fee stage, it is not necessarily the case.

From this aspect, Li Yang's consideration is not unreasonable.

"But no matter which model, we have to be prepared for the decline in profits, this is inevitable, now the domestic system is not only us, they have more room to choose, I have another consideration, that is, I don't know what you think. ”

After Li Yang finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

They all raised their eyes to look at him.

Seeing that Li Yang looked confident, everyone also thought about it in their hearts.

But there was a faint worry in my heart, combined with the new ideas that Li Yang suddenly came up with before, and I was afraid that this boss would come up with something more unacceptable.

In fact

They really guessed it.

didn't wait for everyone to ask.

Li Yang said directly: "What if we completely divest the business of the network management system? Do you think this is too risky?"

Boom.

There was only a moment of silence in the conference room, and it immediately buzzed like a pot.

Completely strip the network management system?

I'm afraid I'm not crazy!!

Tian Mengfei was the first to react, and immediately asked, "Boss, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is what you think in your heart, that is, to completely remove the business of the network management system, and only retain the research and development of antivirus software and the operation of social networks, which can not only effectively alleviate the company's financial pressure in the shortest time, but also completely release manpower to lay out the next antivirus software marketing strategy. ”

Everyone was a little stunned at this time.

As everyone knows.

At present, the biggest source of profit for Blue Sky Technology is the network management system, and even the profits of the entire company from the beginning to the present come from this aspect.

It can be said that if there is no sales of the network management system, Blue Sky Technology will not have the subsequent antivirus software research and development and the circle of friends.

If you follow Li Yang's approach.

So what's next in the company?

Even if it's a shipwreck, it's not such a way to play.

There was silence again in the room.

But Li Yang's words were still hovering in his mind, and he was categorical, even Tian Mengfei, who had always been nervous, realized that the boss Li Yang was not joking.

And Li Mingfang, who was sitting next to Li Yang, was also completely dumbfounded, a pair of beautiful eyes widened and looked at Li Yang, and his mind was like a mess.

As Li Yang's secretary, the boss Li Yang's personality is really clear, since it has been proposed, it means that it must have been carefully considered.

In her impression, although the heads of various departments of Blue Sky Technology have the right to advise on the company's operation, to put it bluntly, the company is still Li Yang's alone.

As long as Li Yang said the decision, there was absolutely no reason to change it, and sometimes she was secretly intoxicated because of Li Yang's courage.

But it's just that there seems to be something wrong with the current situation!!!

"What's wrong? Don't you agree with that?"

No one spoke.

One by one, I sat upright and didn't know what I was thinking.

I saw Li Yang squinting his eyes, and without waiting for everyone to speak, he suddenly stood up and said: "You all think about this opinion, in addition, the marketing department, you must come up with a plan today, I ask you to start the official notice of free trial in the shortest possible time, and the longest can not exceed three days." ”

After speaking, Li Yang didn't sit down anymore, and directly pushed open the door of the conference room and returned to the office.

Behind.

Everyone left the conference room one after another.

Zhuo Baolin and Tian Mengfei didn't move, sitting in the conference room, the two raised their eyes and looked at each other, and suddenly looked at each other.

"Lao Zhuo, it seems that we have underestimated our boss, this kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have, don't want such a big profit. ”

Tian Mengfei naturally knew what Li Yang meant.

Although the profit of the network management system is good, there is no choice for Blue Sky Technology at the moment.

If the network management system is completely stripped away, there is no doubt that Blue Sky Technology will obtain a very considerable amount of money in a very short time.

Don't say anything else.

At the end of last year alone, several domestic companies submitted the idea of acquiring this business and overall technology to Blue Sky Technology.

At that time, the highest price was even as high as 30 million yuan, of course, they knew that the technology of the network management system itself was not worth so much money, and the main purpose of the other party was that the drunkard was not drinking, but the sales channel established behind the network management system.

There are nearly 400 agents in the country, which is more terrible than the sales network of many large sales companies in China.

But the premise of all this is that Blue Sky Technology's antivirus software can be developed within half a year.

Li Yang is undoubtedly making a big gamble by doing so.

If it is not developed within half a year, or if the research and development project is completely aborted, then the deal is considered a complete failure.

After all, there are two choices facing Blue Sky Technology at the moment.

Either stop the research and development project of antivirus software, so that even if you only rely on the network management system, you will have a profit of up to tens of millions every year.

Either take a gamble, and if the bet is successful, the company will have a new development situation, and if the bet is lost, then there will be nothing.

"So what do you think, to do it or not to do it?"

Zhuo Baolin took a deep breath, and secretly admired Li Yang's choice.

"Of course we did it!What was the idea of joining Blue Sky Technology, do you remember, other problems aside, I still agree with Mr. Li's statement, we want to do the best, since we are back, then fight hard, what if it succeeds?"

Zhuo Baolin squinted his eyes and did not speak.

But a sentence echoed in my heart.

If it works!

Then they will create a class that seems to be the miracle of Microsoft.

Just this risk!

It's really big enough!
