Chapter Seventy-Nine: My Country, My Company Continued
To be honest, Liu Si really admires Ma Yun, he can speak well, dare to act, and have a very fighting spirit, founded Haibo Translation, and launched the China Yellow Pages project, which was a very bold act in the 90s. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
China Yellow Pages was launched in 95, and the real success was after the Asian financial crisis in 97, with a turnover of 7 million yuan and a profit of more than 5 million yuan in 97.
Now that China's Yellow Pages have not succeeded, Alibaba has broken into the market of China's Yellow Pages, which makes Liu Dashao, who robbed Ma Yun's later bigger business, very embarrassed. Although the China Yellow Pages did not grow later due to the competition of Hangzhou Telecom, the Alibaba team was still somewhat embarrassed that the content of the Alibaba information column plagiarized the content of the China Yellow Pages.
What information on the China Yellow Pages is not only excerpted by Ma Yun from the Hangzhou corporate phone book, but also the information he himself obtained from door-to-door sales, which may not cost 200,000 if needed, but time can't wait, so in the end, it was decided to let Alibaba technicians learn from the China Yellow Pages.
Guilty, he decided that Ma Yun would not be able to do it in the future, but he would try to recruit him, after all, Ma Yun's success showed that he was capable. I just don't know if I can recruit it?
Not only plagiarized the content of China's Yellow Pages, Li Haiping also set up his own offline team to collect corporate information to promote Alibaba. There is relatively little information in the merchant column, only more than 30, most of these merchants are clothing manufacturers, and they can enter Alibaba is the credit of Zhang Xiao, Wu Ke and others.
This is an era when content is king, so the richness and correctness of the content of Alibaba's website are particularly important, so Li Haiping ruthlessly invested 1 million to set up an offline team to collect corporate information and promote Alibaba.
At this time, in addition to testing Alibaba's website, Alibaba was also busy relocating its office. The 4th and 5th floors of the office buildings leased by Weixing Building were finally renovated in a month of intense renovation. The entire fourth floor is the office of Alibaba, which makes dozens of people who originally worked in the faΓ§ade room on Yan'an Road feel heaven. Thinking about the crowded scene, looking at the relaxed, cool, clean and tidy office area, employees who did not know that the company had already planned to rent office buildings cried with joy.
"The new environment, good mood, everyone can settle in such a dignified and comfortable office building, and get 30% higher wages and benefits than their peers, now everyone will use the most enthusiastic work to repay the company!" Test group, I hope to see the test results by three days at the latest. Li Haiping was facing a tiger, nearly a week later than expected, and Alibaba had not yet been launched, which made him very embarrassed.
"Guaranteed to get the job done." The answer was Jin Guohua, who graduated from Hangzhou Normal University with a major in computer science and technology, and his technical ability is very good, so he is currently the leader of Alibaba's test team.
"Okay, everyone hurry up and get into work, otherwise I can't guarantee that the stingy boss will not deduct wages." Li Haiping's face was very ugly, and he was very unhappy when he talked about Liu Dashao, because his president's office was occupied again.
"Come in." Looking up at Li Haiping, who had a bad face, Liu Si said with a smile, "Mr. Li's face is very bad, is he sick?" β
Li Haiping ignored Liu Dashao's ridicule and reported very seriously, "Boss, at present, Alibaba is already in intense testing, plus the subsequent debugging, patching and other operations, it is expected that Alibaba will be officially launched in a week." At the same time, at present, part of the team has been building the 1688 online trade website, which is expected to be officially launched in a month and a half. β
"yes, I see. By the way, you should know that Taisho security, the upstairs, of course, is also mine, you go up and place an order, recruit two security guards for Alibaba, and take care of my business. With that, he lowered his head and played the newly installed Myst game on the latest pentium-class multimedia computer on his large desk.
Pentium-level multimedia computer is twice as high as last year's 486 computer configuration, ipc586/90/8mram/540m hard disk/cd-rom drive/sound card/speaker/1280x1024 color display, but the price of such a model is close to 20,000 yuan, not ordinary people can play.
In the next week, Liu's father and Xu Gang spent a lot of money to relieve several depraved girls, and Liu Si occupied Alibaba's president's office.
In the past week, except for CBM company contacting Liu Siwei again to renew the operation rights of the Zhangqu operating system, there is basically no major event. CBM company also only made 3 calls in the first half of the year to say that they wanted to talk about the idea of renewing the operating rights of the Zhangqu operating system, entering August, in the second half of the year, Liu Si remembered that CBM company called nearly 10 times, all about the renewal of the contract, it seems that the time is getting closer and closer to November, CBM company is really anxious.
If he can really set up an operating system software company by himself, how can he Liu Si not want to benefit the operating system market, you must know that the operating system is a market of hundreds of billions of dollars, but he really has no technology, personnel, and no funds, so he can't afford to play the operating system.
The development of the operating system is not simple, and the Hongqi operating system, which has been developed in China for more than 20 years, is only equivalent to the technical level of win98, which shows its difficulty. The most important thing is that the money required to develop an operating system is huge. In the 90s, Microsoft invested more than $1 billion in research and development of win95, win98, and win2000.
Liu Sike has no money to engage in operating system research, not to mention that there is no soil in China, whether it is the market or R&D personnel.
Although he made up his mind not to renew the cooperation with CBM, he has not yet received the annual dividend for this year, and he is not good to reply to CBM bluntly, but he just said on the phone: "You already know part of the core code of the Palmfun operating system, and it is most appropriate to cooperate with your company from your own interests." β
CBM was not at ease, but Liu Si just didn't let go of the renewal of the contract, which made them very troubled. But as Liu Dashao said, CBM already knows part of the core code, and CBM can still make the Palm Fun operating system if it does not renew the contract, and it is Liu Si who suffers if it does not renew the contract, so CBM is not panicking.
At present, among Liu Si's companies, the most rapid development is Taizheng Security Company. Because 16 people, including Zhou Chang and He Huajian, who first joined the Taizheng Service Company, brought in many former comrades-in-arms one by one.
Zhou Chang, He Huajian and others were all selected from ordinary soldiers to enter the special brigade through layers of selection, so they knew a wide range of people, comrades-in-arms in ordinary military camps in the past, friends who went to cooperate with other special brigades to carry out tasks after entering the special brigade, and so on.
After the recent expansion of Dazheng Security Company, the number of employees quickly exceeded 50, and Liu Si was most happy that 4 of them were willing to follow Zhou Chang to go abroad.
On this day, after nearly a month of intense R&D and testing, Alibaba finally ushered in the official launch today. After the launch, it is impossible for this new website to have traffic and visitors, and the Alibaba team is happy that the boss has paid bonuses.
Alibaba Liu Si gave great hopes, so after the launch, he ordered the Alibaba team to put aside the rest of the work today, and strive to make Alibaba's reputation on major BBS forums today, and Shuimu Tsinghua is the focus.
Shuimu Tsinghua BBS is an internal forum of Tsinghua University, but in 96 years, there is no content on the Chinese Internet, Chinese netizens will basically fill and stay in Shuimu Tsinghua.
More than 50 people poured into the Shuimu Tsinghua Forum at once, and news about Alibaba also appeared on the forum page at once.
"Congratulations on the official launch of Alibaba, China's first e-commerce website!"
"China's version of Amazon, Alibaba!"
"Business Economy, Alibaba"
"The website of the nation, the gospel of the people, the Alibaba of everyone"
β¦β¦
Liu Si saw the speech of the company's programmers on Shuimu Tsinghua, and to be honest, he was not satisfied, thinking about the combat effectiveness of our country's naval army in later generations, these sub-programmers are completely scum. However, after watching it for several minutes, Alibaba's four words occupied part of the topic of the Shuimu Tsinghua forum, and even half an hour later, many netizens began to discuss Alibaba.
In addition to mobilizing the company's employees to pour water on Shuimu Tsinghua, there is no shortage of offline publicity, but there is no news media that spends a lot of money to borrow CCTV like Brain Platinum.
However, provincial-level newspapers in Guangzhou, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and other southeastern coastal provinces inevitably need tens of thousands of yuan for a small half-page advertisement, and the price is affordable.
So from Shanghai to Hainan, from Chongqing to Shanghai, most of China, the whole south of China began to promote Alibaba in mid-September, Alibaba, a slightly more pleasant legendary China's first e-commerce website, began to be familiar to the ears of southerners.
Alibaba is on the right track, and Liu Si began to stop paying attention to Alibaba Network Company, but turned his attention to Delicious Food Co., Ltd.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Liu Si looked at the distant style of Nanjing with emotion, which is indeed worthy of being a metropolis.
I came to Nanjing for Hohai University, which has a history of 80 years, and is a 211 and 985 key university focusing on hydrology and engineering. Mineral water is different from bottled water, pure water, it has high requirements for water sources, through the golden finger Liu Si can easily find the previous life Nongfu Spring, C'estbon, Master Kong, Wahaha and other brands of mineral water source site, but its water source report, water quality testing and other content he Liu Si is not qualified, and these jobs are indispensable for hydrologists. The main purpose of coming to Hohai University is to prepare Nongfu Spring for passing the water quality test.
"Let's hope it goes well!" With a sigh, Liu Si closed his eyes and waited for Xu Gang to drive slowly to find the hotel.
