Chapter 365: The Internet Wave
readx;
Regardless of whether the fate of the whole family was reversed in the summer of 94, the brother-in-law had to go back to Haizhou every few years to take a look, as for the two cousins, they grew up in Xi'an since they were children, and their feelings for Haizhou were dispensable, Zhang Ke had gone to Xi'an on a business trip to see his eldest cousin Liang Wenshan's family several times, and Liang Wenshan never returned to Haizhou when he became an adult; The little cousin Liang Wenjiang went directly to the United States after graduating from Tsinghua University, but I am afraid that they have not met a few times between their brothers.

The high mobility of modern society has greatly weakened the traditional family concept, let alone the family concept, but the many capital and political forces in modern society show more familial characteristics and have their own profound existence basis.
In Zhang Ke's generation, including Liang Wenshan, Liang Wenjiang, Liang Jun, and Liang Junru from his mother Liang Gezhen's line, including Zhang Yi and Zhang Mei from his father Zhang Zhixing's line, there are only seven people, Zhang Ke of course also expects the members of the family to achieve higher achievements, in order for the whole family to have wider influence and penetration, not just wealth and power on the books.
Among his peers, Liang Jun was the first to place high hopes on him. For the convenience of making master plates, Sheng Qing, Shao Zhigang, and Zhang Zhifei registered a series of companies and studios in Shenzhen and Hong Kong to operate this matter, and Liang Jun was responsible for this matter with Sheng Qing in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so that Sheng Qing was his right-hand man.
As for Zhang Yi, Zhang Ke expected him not to cause trouble, Liang Wenshan and Liang Wenjiang are still returning to Haizhou for the first time, Zhang Ke does not know how much they identify with the family, this is not to mention, as long as Liang Wenshan and Liang Wenjiang have enough ability, it is because of their mother, Zhang Ke will try his best to help them live a decent and dignified life.
Liang Wenjiang came to Haizhou this time, of course, not to attend the engagement banquet of his cousin Liang Jun, who has rarely seen each other for several years, he did not know that Ding Chunjian's boss would not even remember his appearance before he came, before the construction of the public network (China) in major provinces and cities in the country was completed, he and several Tsinghua classmates had long established a sports competition website on the campus network, which was probably one of the earliest prototypes of the domestic website, which was only due to interest at the beginning, and did not take into account the commercial value. It was only because of the expansion of the website that there would be serious stagnation in the use of the space provided free of charge by the original campus network, and the cost of renting a commercial server in '96 was not something that a few of their students could afford, so everyone originally planned to give up the expansion of the website, and later contacted Ding Chunjian, thinking that Aida Electronics could buy Ding Chunjian's IDE to USB technology at a high price, and maybe he would be interested in the new thing of the Internet -- Liang Wenjiang took the opportunity to go to Haizhou to try his luck.
In Ding Chunjian's view, Liang Wenjiang did encounter good luck.
After lunch, Zhang Ke did not go back to school with Tang Jing to continue to review his homework, but accompanied his brother-in-law's family to visit the R&D center of Aida Electronics. Zhang Yi and his colleagues also left because of other things.
The three ** buildings are connected with steel beams and tempered glass air corridors, which are quite imposing of modern buildings, and in a few days, this will no longer be the technology research and development center of Aida Electronics, but the first technology company.
During lunch, Liang Guosheng and Liang Wenshan father and son heard Zhang Ke say that he was an investor in this company, and he didn't particularly care about it at first, but after seeing it at the R&D center, he felt quite shocked, the profession they are engaged in are all in the direction of automatic control, and there is a certain degree of relevance to computer technology, not to mention what the R&D center is developing about the topic, only the experimental environment and facilities of the research center are rare in China, which is often the most envied by people who do technology and research.
"How big is this company, with such a beautiful laboratory?" Liang Guosheng only thought of asking about these details at this time.
"It's not too big, after all, it was a company that was established last year, but it invested more in the direction of research and development...... "Zhang Ke didn't introduce the data of sales income and profitability, he said too much, others thought he was showing off, and there was no need to introduce it in too much detail, after all, for more people, the number is large to a certain extent, then it really becomes a number, and the mouth reports four or five billion data, and has not directly piled four or five million cash in front of people. When the uncle entered the company, he didn't even see the company signboard at the gate.
In the afternoon, Liang Wenjiang naturally talked about the topic of the Internet and websites, but Liang Wenjiang did not directly mention to Zhang Ke that their website had a desire to raise funds, but Ding Chunjian made it clear on his behalf that at the beginning of the establishment of the website, it was still in the form of a campus network BBS, and Ding Chunjian also participated in the construction.
In the history of the development of computer technology in China, the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University occupies a very important position.
In the spacious and bright coffee room of the R&D center, located in the air steel beam corridor, through the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, you can see the birch forest in the south, the foot is translucent tempered glass, the coffee room is quite spacious, several groups of sofas of different colors form several relatively first-class areas, providing a variety of drinks and coffee, as well as some leisure food, convenient for R&D personnel to rest and talk here after work.
Liang Guosheng They didn't dare to imagine that there was such a relaxed working environment in China, they came over, many R&D personnel chatted in coffee, and when they saw Zhang Ke and Ding Huai walking in, they also greeted each other naturally.
Zhang Ke: They chose a corner to discuss the Internet.
"Before, I used the school's workstation to make a BBS website," Ding Chunjian saw Zhang Ke enter the BBS of Tunghai University, and I believe he can understand such a professional term, "I also participated in the construction of the website before, after I left, Liang Wenjiang and they compiled a list of classified information, and gradually turned the BBS website into a customizable database. ”
"Do you have any more specific ideas...... Zhang Ke is not very concerned about technical things, said, "As far as I know, to make a website, technology is very cheap, creativity is also very cheap, the most important thing is confidence and persistence, to make great efforts outside the Internet, and one point is that capital is very important......
In ninety-five years, the Internet really spread to China, and the number of Internet users in ninety-six years was probably quite rare, with about 200,000 dial-out users, and the largest user group was still in the campus network of colleges and universities; In '97, Sina.com was officially established, and the following '99 ushered in the first wave of the Internet, which eventually formed a huge Internet bubble under the pursuit of hot money until it burst.
For the future of the Internet, Ding Chunjian and Liang Wenjiang have a more optimistic estimate, which is not difficult to understand the formation of the Internet bubble, but Zhang Ke does not have much enthusiasm.
Even if a portal like Sina did not directly generate profits until four years later, it is undeniable that in the first wave of the Internet, these portals still created huge paper wealth, but from a professional amateur website to grow into a portal, it takes a long way to go, it requires strong confidence and long-term persistence, and at this time, it also needs a lot of development funds and a large number of market operations outside the Internet; Just like Sina.com, before it was finalized, it had gone through three private placements for several years, raising nearly 100 million US dollars before and after.
The miracle of Silicon Valley is not so much the dream of engineers as the fact that venture capital is in the limelight there, and the ease of finding money is the advantage of Silicon Valley.
Although the Internet created huge paper wealth in the first wave, Zhang Ke would still be happy to withdraw the investment and make a big profit before the dot-com bubble bursts, but spending hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars over several years to support a portal and list on the Nasdaq does not have enough time to withdraw before the dot-com bubble bursts due to the existence of restrictions on investors in the stock market.
Zhang Ke did not have much interest in investing in the Internet at this time, but he was still willing to provide some funds in his private name. I didn't expect the initial millions of funds to be able to build a portal, but I didn't give up the possibility of becoming a portal, so I said: "I can get some money out, but you must at least make a list of money to use, so that I can allocate the money to you." ”
Although Liang Wenjiang saw the prototype of a domestic portal from Yahoo, he had not yet started to expand their website into a portal. He said: "After all, it is the interest of a few classmates, it is good to be able to get the company's sponsorship, there is no need to pay privately, we now hope to find a server to store files, and other problems are easy to solve......
Seeing Liang Wenjiang say this, Zhang Ke knew that his eyes had not gone so far, and he still positioned their website on a very narrow professional application platform. Said: "Since it is a business, it is necessary to point out where the interests that can make us tempted...... "It seems that they should be pushed forward a little, but it is just a very narrow professional application platform website, and there is no investment value at the moment, "Your classmates who build websites together, if it is convenient, you can invite them to Haizhou to play in the name of the company, and discuss and discuss whether there is anything that interests the company in your interest." ”
