Chapter 168: Autohome

After talking with Wang Zhenguo about investing in 4S stores, Jiang Hui thought that since he had decided to get involved in the automobile industry, he had to do his best. The automobile industry is actually very wide-ranging, and the first reaction of ordinary people when it comes to automobiles is the automobile factory, which is actually only a part of the automobile industry. R&D, production, sales, after-sales, parts, basically these five major contents, in addition to R&D and production are generally done by OEMs, and the threshold for entry is relatively high, other fields can be directly or indirectly considered to get involved.

Sales and after-sales this part, the most direct is to open a 4S store, which is now in preparation, and the factor that affects sales, in addition to the product itself, is marketing. The marketing business of automobiles is mainly promoted by the sales departments of OEMs, but the implementation is often through advertising companies to produce advertisements and place them on major television stations, newspapers, websites, etc. In later generations, when everyone buys a car, most people will check it on the Internet, and the most used query website is "Autohome".

Without Jiang Hui, Autohome was founded in June 2005 and has grown rapidly to become the world's most visited automotive website. Autohome provides car consumers with the most valuable Internet car marketing platform in the Celestial Empire, and its market value once reached more than 30 billion yuan after its listing.

Jiang Hui planned to make "Autohome" in advance, and as for the original founder Li Gongzi, he had to be embarrassed. In this way, I can do more publicity for the cars sold in the store in the future, and by the way, exert my own influence on the entire automobile industry. You must know that in later generations, an article by Autohome has a great influence, it says that a certain model is good, consumers may not necessarily buy it, but if it says that a certain model is not good, consumers still believe it.

Jiang Hui also wants to wait for the Internet industry to become bigger and stronger, looking for a suitable opportunity to enter the real industry, smart phones, cars, robots, drones, etc. are more suitable projects, if you want to engage in automobiles, it is even more important to master Autohome, an Internet car marketing platform.

Thinking that the 4S store project was carried out by the third Wang Zhenguo, the old man, and the related project "Autohome" does not seem to be very suitable if he is left alone.

"Third, when it comes to cars, I have a new idea, I want to set up a car-related website to provide car buyers with reference information on model selection and other aspects, are you interested in doing it together?" Jiang Hui said.

"Building a website? This is what you are best at, so I won't participate in it," Wang Zhenguo said.

"Don't underestimate this website, it may not be worse than you selling cars in the future, or else, I will pay 800,000 yuan, you will pay 22, we will 28 points, and I will be responsible for finding someone to build this website," Jiang Hui said.

"Yes, I'll just take your ride," Wang Zhenguo said with a smile.

"I have asked an intermediary company to help me with the registration procedures, or tomorrow I will let them go through the registration procedures of the 4S store and the website, I estimate that it should be done in about 20 days," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, I'm worried that I don't know how to start, and I'm much more relieved to have someone like you to guide me," Wang Zhenguo said.

……

What is most important in the 21 st century, and talent is the most important! Jiang Hui has come to realize more and more the true meaning of this sentence. I have a lot of ideas, but I don't have enough suitable people to move forward. The school intranet is accompanied by Fang Dawen and Tang Wenwen, and there is a group of shareholders below to help, but Jiang Hui doesn't need to bother too much. But Jiang Hui is still supporting the glorious game by himself, and he originally wanted to push out the fishing game and plants vs. zombies as soon as possible, but he was busy with no time, so he just built up the framework of the game, and now he urgently needs the apes to implement their functions.

Fortunately, since Liu Chujing joined the company, she has begun to interview and recruit several employees, and the subsequent shortage of talents should be alleviated. Among the newly recruited personnel, Jiang Hui found two people who were interested in high game development, and directly transferred to Guanghui Games to be responsible for game development. The current personnel of several companies is not so clear, and the entry procedures and follow-up projects involving five insurances and one housing fund are not on the right track. This is not to ask for three months' money, mainly because the people in charge of this part of the business have not been recruited yet.

In addition to the glorious game, the glorious payment is now also in a relatively weak state, although Zhou Gang and Shen Yanhuan were transferred to be responsible for development and technology, and a few interns were also assigned to help, but the payment company wants to develop, in addition to technology, marketing and marketing are also very important, and this part of the work needs a lot of manpower to carry out.

As for Autohome, this company, which has just been preparing to be established, does not even have a small soldier. However, fortunately, Jiang Hui's School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering has a major in vehicle engineering, and it is relatively easy to find a few interns to do the content writing of the website, car evaluation, etc., as for the technical development of the website, Jiang Hui has to build the architecture himself, and then find the program apes to fill in the detailed code.

Projects are blooming everywhere, and money is spent very quickly. At the beginning of the year, Guanghui Games got 100 million yuan from Penguin, spent 2,000 taels when it acquired Hao123, and later lent 20 million to the school intranet, spent more than 2 million to buy a house, and spent another 5 million to set up a 4S store, and Autohome spent another 800,000 yuan. With the renovation of the office building, it will definitely cost a lot of money to buy a server at that time, and I really don't know how long the 50 million will last. It seems that the time will also be given to consider financing the intranet in due course.

In fact, Jiang Hui's original intention was not to raise money so quickly, and the current school intranet, no matter how optimistic other institutions are about it, will not offer a valuation of more than one billion, but in Jiang Hui's heart, even if it is financed according to a valuation of two billion, it is a loss. But if you want to develop rapidly, you can't do it without funds, it's a real headache.

Jiang Hui, who was worried about money, thought about it, looked at the financing to see where else could he get money, and somehow thought of Du Niang. I put them together on Hao123, this week has passed, they should also reflect it, I don't know how Boss Li plans to solve this problem.
