Chapter 3 NextTencent, Baidu, Alibaba?

"First of all, you have to think about your actual situation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Wei Ye found a comfortable position as much as possible, and he moved his buttocks, which had been sitting stiffly for a long time, ready to start with his actual situation first.

He skipped a grade in elementary school, and although he is only 20 years old, he is already a sophomore in computer software engineering at Tsinghua University.

When he was a child, he had a more active brain and liked to draw inferences, especially for science, he had a feeling of being at ease, otherwise he would not have been admitted to Tsinghua University, one of the highest universities in China.

This can be said to be a very sensational news in their small county town at that time.

After all, this still belongs to 1998, and Wei Ye was admitted to Tsinghua University two years ago, and the gold content at this time is naturally much more than that of later generations.

Even if his level is actually only able to rank downstream in Tsinghua University, and even sometimes often at the bottom, how can outsiders know this?

They only know that those who can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University are all geniuses who belong to the pride of the sky!

In this era, there are naturally countless iron rice bowls waiting for you to choose after graduating from Tsinghua University, if you have a little relationship to keep you in the province, it is not impossible to even solve the BJ household registration directly.

However, it's a pity that Wei Ye's family can only be regarded as ordinary, located in an economically backward small county in the Guanzhong area of SX Province, even in the later generations, I don't know whether it is a fourth-tier or a fifth-tier town.

Being able to provide Wei Ye to study in BJ, this is already the greatest ability of the family, although Wei Ye's parents are both holding iron rice bowls, one is a clerk of the Environmental Protection Bureau, and the other teaches mathematics in the county junior high school.

But for a college student, and he is still studying and consuming in the capital, even if Wei Ye's family responds to the call of the country, there is only one child like Wei Ye, but this almost exhausts Wei's father.

As for what scholarships and the like, these really have little to do with Wei Ye on the talent-filled Tsinghua campus.

Therefore, it is obviously extremely unrealistic to expect the family to give Wei Ye some money for him to start a business.

Let's not talk about whether the family has this money, even if they have parents, it is impossible for them to mess around with it, they still expect that after they finish college, they can also hold an iron like them, no, it is better to have a golden job.

"What should I do if I don't have start-up capital? ”

As the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero, even if Wei Ye has too many business models that have been verified in the future, but Nima has no start-up capital, what can I do?

Although he knows some technology, after all, he was also a technical background at the beginning, and he has dabbled in programming languages such as JA/VA, PHP, HTML, C, C++, etc., but the problem is that he only understands a general idea, but he is not proficient.

If you barely make a web page out,He can also make a seven-seven-eighty-eight when he reads books to learn and learn.,But if you want to write a QQ out of thin air.,Or search engine out.,It's really a little embarrassing.。。

In other words, what Wei Ye is good at is actually more of a product manager like Steve Jobs (the founder of Apple), who is good at controlling the overall situation at a strategic level, but if you really let Jobs do the drawings by himself, it is pure.

So if you want to start a business, Wei Ye must find a technical partner, this person can not understand marketing, do not understand operations, and even do not understand products, but he must be extremely proficient in programming.

Technology, this is a serious shortcoming that Weiye has to face at this moment.

In addition, it is more important funds, with funds can recruit technology, from this point of view, in fact, capital is the biggest problem restricting Wei Ye at present.

But in his current situation, he doesn't have to think about asking his family for help, and it is almost impossible to go to the bank for a loan, and the risk of borrowing usury is too great.

After all, the Internet industry is not as good as others, this is an industry that has to focus on traffic in the early stage, and it can be said that there are empty users for a long time, but there is no profit, which is a very normal situation.

And how can a loan shark give you this time, and even if you want to borrow as Wei Ye's current student, it is estimated that you will be able to borrow 1,800 yuan to die.

This is completely a drop in the bucket for the grand cause he wants to perform, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

"Okay, let's not think about money for now, I'll give the general direction first. ”

After pondering and meditating for a while but finding nothing, Wei Ye had no choice but to put it down for the time being, preparing to set the direction of his future efforts first, and then slowly refine it according to the goal and his actual situation.

"If there is a lack of start-up capital, then you have to choose a direction in which the upfront investment is not so large. ”

Following this line of thought, Wei Ye's first thought was Alibaba's e-commerce platform.

The so-called Internet e-commerce platform is actually to connect people and things across regions through the Internet.

What did the later generation of Jack Ma, as the recognized godfather of entrepreneurship, leap from an ordinary English teacher to the new richest man in Asia?

Relying on the Internet, e-commerce, Taobao, Alibaba, Tmall and even Alipay are e-commerce platforms and payment tools.

Without Jack Ma and Alibaba, which he founded, there would be no millions of Taobao merchants today, and there would not be so many high-quality and inexpensive goods for you to consume.

Therefore, e-commerce is definitely a decisive factor in changing the future business form, and if this field can be monopolized, it is enough to be called China's Internet giant!

But if you really want to follow Jack Ma's old path and become an e-commerce platform, let's not talk about the B2B model, that is, the business-to-business e-commerce platform (Alibaba).

Or the C2C model, that is, the person-to-person e-commerce platform (Taobao, Tmall).

No matter what kind of e-commerce model you do, you can't get around the concept of platform in the first place.

What is a platform?

In fact, it is a communication bridge between buyers and sellers, so in addition to promoting your platform and products to consumers, you must also advertise to sellers, that is, the party selling the goods.

Otherwise, there are no users and no products, why should consumers come to your platform to buy things?

This will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost in the early stage, you have to take care of both ends, unlike a single product, then you only need to think about how to promote your product to users.

From this point of view, the e-commerce platform that must take into account both buyers and sellers, that is, Jack Ma's Alibaba model, was first put aside by Wei Ye.

Unless there are abundant funds, Wei Ye will not kill himself and choke himself to death by going to a platform that has a buyer and must have a seller.

Then the next thing left is Tencent's social software, and Baidu's search engine.

Both of these are essentially a product, not a platform, one is an instant messaging software, the other is a search engine service, and both only need to focus on consumers or users.

The so-called instant messaging software, also commonly known as social software, is actually a social tool commonly used by people to communicate and communicate with acquaintances and strangers, such as QQ, WeChat, Momo, MSN, meager (because it is forbidden, so it is written as thin).

This kind of communication tool that connects people is collectively referred to as social software in the industry.

In the domestic scope, the real social software giant is naturally Tencent founded by Xiao Ma Ge (Ma Huateng).

Tencent's QQ and WeChat, can be said to have accompanied the growth of a generation, deeply changed people's way of life, if you can achieve something in this field, then the future will naturally be able to occupy an important position in the domestic Internet industry, the impact is no less than Ma Yun's e-commerce platform.

As for Baidu's core search engine, it is an indispensable search tool for countless netizens to surf the Internet, occupying an absolute dominance in the Chinese search engine market.

If you don't have Baidu, then if you want to check the information, you have to find it slowly one by one, and if you want to search for keywords, you have to turn page by page, it can be said that the search engine is almost a necessary tool for every Internet user to surf the Internet.

And in addition, Baidu Tieba, Baidu Cloud Disk, Baidu Map, Baidu Encyclopedia, etc., these products provide people with extremely convenient network services, and the future market space is also not small.

Later, Baidu and Alibaba and Tencent, two Internet companies, were listed as the three giants of the domestic Internet industry, and the initials of the three were combined into BAT, which actually shows Baidu's influence and potential in the future.

For Wei Ye at this time, if nothing else, as long as he can do a good job in one of the three giants of BAT, his future achievements will actually be limitless!

As for one person doing all three companies' business?

Hehe, that's called a dream, not a business.

"If you do a search engine. ”

Wei Ye began to furrow his eyebrows again, technology was really not his forte, but it was an important link that could not be bypassed.

Although he studied computers, he mainly involved networks and theory, and specific programming belonged to another field.

And when it comes to search engines, which is different from ordinary code, it is already a patented technology at the innovation level.

In his previous life, Robin Li, the founder of Baidu, was able to return to China to do Baidu search, in fact, by virtue of the 'hyperchain analysis technology' he proposed in 1996 and applied for a patent in 1997.

Even Google, whose founders Larry Page and Serge Brin were inspired by Google, which later became even more successful in the field of search, at a lecture by Robin Li in Australia in April 1998.

In October of the same year, Google was officially launched, and at the same time applied for a patent for PageRank, but because of the similarity between this technology and Robin Li's 'hyperchain analysis technology', the US Patent and Trademark Office did not approve it until September 2001.

It can be said that it is Robin Li's hyperchain analysis technology that has laid the cornerstone and development of modern Internet industry search engines, and it has pointed out the trend and direction for the development of modern search engines, which is beyond Weiye's reach.

So even if you think about it with your ass, if you don't have a patent such as hyperchain analysis technology in hand, it's better not to think about what search engine you want to do.

So in the end, it seems that there is only one Tencent instant messaging software that can do it.

"Do you really want to do QQ? ”

Wei Ye squinted slightly, carefully considering the feasibility of this plan, he was not doubting the future development potential of QQ or even WeChat, he was just determining whether he had the ability to do a good job.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed more feasible, first of all, there is no technical difficulty, and there is no technical content in this era of IM software (English abbreviation of instant messaging software).

At the very least, there will be no problem with Baidu's hyperchain analysis technology.

In terms of funding, the development of an IM software is not very practical, and it does not require much manpower to operate, and it is completely possible to maintain a small and beautiful entrepreneurial team to operate in the early stage.

It can be said that the biggest pressure is the problem of renting servers, the more users there are, the more servers are needed to carry them, but this is also a matter of doing it in the future.

In the previous life, Brother Xiaoma's Tencent company was not officially registered until November 1998, and at first it was mainly to expand the wireless network paging system, and it was not until February 1999 that the first generation of OICQ was officially launched.

Yes, OICQ is the predecessor of QQ, which was popular all over the country in later generations, and was created by Xiao Ma Ge to imitate the IM instant messaging software that was more popular in the world at that time, ICQ.

It was not until 2000 that OICQ was forced to voluntarily change its name to QQ due to a complaint filed by ICQ's parent company, AOL.

But now, ICQ has just been acquired by AOL for $287 million, and Xiao Ma may still be working as an engineer at Runxun Communications, and even Tengxun has not yet been established.

This is undoubtedly an excellent entrepreneurial opportunity for Weiye at present!

It can be said that the research and development of QQ is now taking the road of social software, which is a promising and very consistent road with the current actual situation of Weiye!

Even, because of his prophetic foresight and insight, Wei Ye may even accomplish a feat that Xiao Ma failed to do in his previous life, and it can even be said that the entire Chinese Internet industry has failed to do it!

That's...

Out of China, to the world!

Just imagine, when people all over the world use QQ WeChat together, what a magnificent cause of the times, and what an unimaginable infinite business opportunity?!

At this moment, with a vision of a beautiful blueprint for the future, a hot-blooded teenager who sat on the edge of the playground for a whole afternoon finally determined the entrepreneurial road he was going to take next!

That is, to create a hand-made one that covers all countries in the world...

Social Empire!!

PS: This book has been brewing for a long time, and Xiaoqiang has done a lot of preparation for it, consulted a lot of materials, and tried to restore history to the greatest extent.

It just so happens that Xiaoqiang himself has two consecutive Internet entrepreneurship experiences, and he thinks that he still has a little bit of his own experience in the Internet and entrepreneurship.

Part of the protagonist in the book is based on Xiaoqiang himself, and the reason why Xiaoqiang wants to write this book is to make everyone feel refreshed.

More importantly, in today's era when Prime Minister GWY advocates Internet +, I hope to popularize some Internet and entrepreneurial knowledge for everyone.

It's not that everyone should start a business, but at least they know some knowledge of the Internet, so that they will not fall behind and it is possible to keep up with the pace of the times.

This is Xiaoqiang's original intention, and it is also the direction of Xiaoqiang's efforts, I hope you will support it!

In the new book period, every click, collection and recommendation is extremely precious, I hope everyone can support Xiaoqiang, let Xiaoqiang lead everyone back to the whole process of the rise of the Internet...
