The Internet industry has not yet entered the first period of rapid explosion.

When the industry develops, the Internet will rise and penetrate all walks of life.

There is no clear plan for "seed incubation"; Domestic Internet investment institutions have also not developed. For domestic Internet entrepreneurs, there is no development environment, and there is no development fund, and the entrepreneurial environment is cruel.

This is a great opportunity for Xia Sen. Xia Sen alone could not spread his tentacles all over the industry. Therefore, he chose a method with the highest input-output ratio.

Invest in college students' entrepreneurship projects.

In the future, many excellent projects will be produced by students who have graduated from the School of Computer Science in the last two years. What Xia Sen has to do is to advance this incubation process.

Entrepreneurial projects during college students are best incubated, and college students do not need a large salary to support their families and have no worries. And it's easy to organize a team among your classmates.

Investors don't have to give them a lot of money and sign very complicated contracts, just provide them with a space, some equipment, and let them develop on their own.

These students have a dependency relationship with him before the project is incubated. The progress of their project is also well known to Xia Sen. Their results, Xia Sen can be the first time to support and share.

If the project develops to a later stage and has a certain investment value, the first thing they consider must be Xia Sen. If their project has no investment value, Xia Sen has nothing to lose, just lending them computers and servers for a period of time.

And such a low-cost investment can often incubate very good projects!

For investors, it's a sure win!

Xia Sen first found his own school, just to do a pilot to see if such a form of investment would work. If he could really incubate some of these projects in his school, he would promote this form to major universities!

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this thought was actually seen by Cheng Yuran.

The word "incubation" uttered by Cheng Yuran was not popular in China at that time, and this word was literally translated from English. Therefore, when this word came out of Cheng Yuran's mouth, Xia Sen understood. Cheng Yuran saw through his purpose and understood this investment method.

That's why we had the previous conversation.

……

Cheng Yuran arrived at Xia Sen's company, on the one hand, to visit, and on the other hand, he really implemented his identity as an intern.

Of course, Xia Sen would not fail to pay him a salary. If Cheng Yuran really carried this project, he would pay Cheng Yuran more. Xia Sen will do his best to meet the needs of this "senior" and keep him in his company. Help yourself make money~

The address of PP Chat has not changed, and it is still a three-bedroom 90-square-meter residence bought by Zheng Fang before.

The house was built in the middle of all the non-load-bearing walls, a total of all the necessary equipment and five computers. Xia Sen, Zheng Fang, and Liu Yan, as well as two technicians who were later recruited to help Xia Sen do online maintenance.

"Your company... Is it really simple enough? Cheng Yuran tugged at the corners of his mouth, "You have made so much money, you are willing to buy us a computer, and you are reluctant to change to a bigger place." ”

"Well, it will change. But don't worry, think about it in three years. Xia Sen replied.

"Three years from now?" Cheng Yuran couldn't help but be stunned, and thought carefully, "How did you give such an accurate time, is it based on your company's future turnover?" It's not right..."

Cheng Yuran is already trying to figure out his style of acting, and he is almost to the level of a magic barrier.

Xia Sen: "......"

After Cheng Yuran officially entered Xia Sen Company for internship, he lived up to expectations and became the most efficient person in this company.

His brain speed is fast, and his hands are fast.

The next day, he pulled three classmates from the programming club, who he had obviously set his sights on before. The four of them carried the laptop supported by Xia Sen, rolled up their sleeves and started to work.

Several people have clear goals and an appropriate division of labor. And it is a pleasure to do it day and night.

The point is that Cheng Yuran seems to have really thought about the feasibility and implementation plan of developing a portal early on. He even has a mind map of the overall project and a preliminary demo in his hand.

"Why do I think I'm being calculated by you?" Xia Sen said helplessly.

"I originally planned to take these things and kill your company directly, and convince you to use my plan." Cheng Yuran still kept typing the code in his hand, and replied without raising his head.

"How do I remember that you thought about the portal before, and then overturned it yourself?" Zheng Fang found an opportunity and asked Xia Sen secretly.

“…… That's because I didn't know Cheng Yuran before. Xia Sen said.

The development process of the portal was not particularly smooth.

Xia Sen was never particularly satisfied with the search engine algorithms. This also stems from Xia Sen's high vision, and the technical means at that time were compared with a search engine that had been iterated for many years and survived to the end. In the end, Cheng Yuran and Xia Sen came to the conclusion that they should first go online and include more websites, and then slowly optimize the algorithm.

This part of the news and information was prepared early, and Cheng Yuran crawled a lot of daily news from competing products, and it was more than enough to fill the homepage of the portal. Because his method is relatively novel, it can be said that it is the best of a hundred schools. Xia Senjia's news and information, on the contrary, other portals are more abundant.

In the end, the strategy was to focus on news websites, ignore search engines, and collect fees through advertising. Since there is PP chat, which is a very useful entrance, they don't have to worry about the news and no one is watching.

It's just that there are too many people who have seen their portal go online.
