Fan Wuxian thought about it and felt that Fan Kang probably hadn't heard this joke, so he told him about it.
There is a couple surnamed Huang who gave birth to three daughters, and they have all reached marriageable age in a blink of an eye. The body of a woman.
The couple surnamed Huang found a fast son-in-law for their three daughters, and they couldn't help but worry when they saw that the day of worshipping in the cave room was coming. The marriage was lively, and the three daughters and their husbands were about to leave home for their honeymoon. Mr. and Mrs. Huang were very concerned about whether their daughter's first night was a success, so the mother said to the three daughters privately, your father and I are concerned about your wedding night, and we hope to know whether you are happy.
A week passed, and the couple surnamed Huang received the first letter, and when they opened it, they saw that it was written back by their eldest daughter, and only a few big words were written on the letter, Yalan Simmons mattress. Without saying a word, the couple immediately picked up the newspaper at hand and looked for an advertisement for Arlan Simmons, and Mr. Huang found it, with the headline "Oversized, Strong and Gentle." At that moment, the old gentleman and his wife were very happy.
Seven days later, the second daughter wrote a letter, and she simply wrote Nescafe. This time, Mr. Huang quickly found the advertising page of Nescafe, and the main headline was Joy to the Last Drop. The husband and wife embraced each other and were overjoyed.
And behold, seven days passed again, until. A month later, they still didn't hear from their third daughter, and the couple began to worry. The third daughter's letter finally arrived two months later. The words written on it were very unclear, and Mr. Huang struggled to decipher it, and it turned out that his daughter wrote Cathay Pacific.
Mr. Huang didn't care about putting on his coat and even taking his belt. He went to the nearest newsstand nearby to buy a newspaper, and when he got home, he quickly flipped through the newspaper with trembling hands for Cathay Pacific advertisements, and finally found it. Mr. Huang clutched the newspaper and read it out loud, and before Mr. Huang could finish reading it, Mrs. Huang had already slumped on the recliner, only to see that the headline of the advertisement was, seven days a week, three shifts a day, without stopping.
After Fan Kang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. laughed, laughed for a long time before saying, "Do you think it took so long for my sister to call back, so what associations did you have?" ”
"Ahem-" Fan Wuxian said solemnly, "Your idea is not pure. Jie, be careful that my sister comes back and spans your ass, I won't help you then. ”
"How could she know unless you went snitching?" Fan Kang replied.
Fan Kang wants to start a charitable fund, but Fan Wuxian has no objection, but the matter of letting Fan Kang go to the United States to collect money has indeed been mentioned on the company's agenda at this time.
The madness of the Chinese concept of Internet stocks, that is, the Internet in the United States. The scene staged when the technology stock market is at its hottest, basically there is a fixed pattern, once the stock market is on the chicken dog to the sky, that is, it is the last moment of the market.
So on the Internet. Before the bubble collapsed, several Chinese concept Internet stocks listed on the NASDAQ were doing very well, but with the bursting of the Internet bubble, the stock prices of most companies were not supported by actual performance, and finally plummeted, almost falling into junk stocks.
If you want to make money in the U.S. stock market perfectly, you must list a network company with a strong Chinese concept on the NASDAQ before the Internet bubble arrives, and then find a more suitable buyer to transfer the shares.
This year, China's Internet industry has shown unprecedented vitality. Although at that time, the development of the domestic Internet was still a little thin, according to the CNNIC report, the total number of domestic Internet users was only about one million, and the international export was less than 100Mbps, just like a toddler who had just learned to walk. However, some people in the industry have been keenly aware that the storm of the Internet is about to sweep across the land of China, and a new era full of dreams and legends is coming.
At the beginning of the year, it began to become known, much to the surprise of the first generation of Chinese netizens, who are now less than a million. From now on, many people are starting to print their email addresses on their business cards. Although in this day and age, the symbolic meaning of this act is much greater than the actual value. However, it heralded the beginning of a new era.
In March this year, the First Session of the Ninth National People's Congress formally approved the establishment of the Ministry of Information Industry. This marks the beginning of the long process of breaking the monopoly of China's telecommunications industry, which is undoubtedly good news for the domestic network industry, the high network usage fee has finally been reduced, and the network industry as a new pillar industry of the national economy is also receiving unprecedented attention, many people in the front line of China's network industry clearly feel a little spring that warm breath.
Because he wants to use the network company to go to the United States to make money, so Fan Kang is also concerned about the development of the Internet during this time, he said to Fan Wuxi, "In July, the second phase of China's public computer Internet backbone network project began to start, and it is planned to expand the backbone bandwidth of eight large regions to 155M, and replace all node routers in eight regions with gigabit routers. ”
Fan Wuxian nodded, he also noticed this, and the major media really cheered for such broadband for a while, but I believe they will soon find out that in the Internet era, bandwidth is never enough, and the networms at this time are happily looking forward to their "cats" running at full speed.
"It's not as good as it could be in many ways, but things are getting better." "Our company is also vigorously expanding its network infrastructure, and at the same time, it is also coordinating with the United States to expand the export bandwidth by more than two times, and we must also make use of the advantages of satellites as much as possible, so that the network quality of Fan's Network Services Company will surpass that of the companies under the General Administration of Telecommunications." ”
Hardware construction is always an important foundation for the development of all network technology, no matter how the situation develops in the future, the underlying network service provider will definitely make a profit, so Fan Wuxian must continue to maintain his advantage of being able to compete with the network service technology of the General Administration of Telecommunications, and even continue to carry it forward.
"Did you read Time this month?" Fan Kang asked.
"I don't see that kind of thing very often, and I don't have my cover photo, what do I see it for?" Fan replied.
"If you don't want this kind of thinking, it's still good to see." Fan Kang shook his head and said.
That is, this month, Zhang Chaoyang, president of Sohu, was selected as one of the world's 50 "digital heroes" selected by the famous American magazine "Time".
So Zhang Chaoyang naturally became the focus of the domestic press, and all kinds of reports related to him were overwhelming, and his entrepreneurial story was regarded as a legend, as if he became Yang Zhiyuan's second. The image of the domestic "digital heroes" represented by him has gradually begun to take root in the hearts of the people.
In fact, in February this year, the first professional search engine site in China was officially launched, and within a month of the official opening of this website, the average number of visitors per day was about 120,000, and the page traffic exceeded 100,000 pages per day. With such an almost shabby number of visits, the website quickly became one of the most popular websites in China, and the name of this website, which was later known to almost all domestic netizens, was Sohu.
At this time, Sohu's domain name was a difficult name to remember, and the digital hero Zhang Chaoyang was carefully making a Chinese clone of Yahoo, which was already in full swing at the time, hoping to bring Yahoo's success to China.
Two months after the launch of the Sohu website, Sohu received its second venture capital since the establishment of the company. Investors include Intel Corporation, Dow Jones, Hang Lung, IDG International Data Group and Harrison Corporation. At a time when many people didn't know what venture capital was, it was a cause for celebration, even though the investment was less than $2 million.
At the same time, another of the three musketeers in China's online industry, the well-known Ding Lei, is vigorously tinkering with NetEase's free email, free e-cards, free homepage, free domain name system, and a lot of other games that start with free.
After the unprecedented success of NetEase's free mail system, many local information ports and Internet companies have purchased this product, and NetEase has gained extremely considerable benefits. It is also with the funds obtained from the sale of the free mail system that NetEase has been independently supported by its own funds for a long time without any external financing in the early days of its operation, which is also one of the main reasons why Ding Lei has such a high proportion of shares in NetEase.
However, from Fan Wuxi's point of view, NetEase's most praised service at this time is not free email, but they are the first to launch a free personal homepage space system in China.
At a time when Chinese information resources are relatively scarce, the service launched by NetEase has not only cultivated a large number of web designers with professional production standards, but also greatly enriched the Chinese network information resources with these various personal websites.
It can be said that the reason why NetEase was able to establish a good reputation among netizens was due to this free personal homepage space service at the earliest, and this good reputation also laid a solid foundation for NetEase's future development.
As another of the three musketeers, Wang Zhidong, who founded the number one portal site Sina.com, has not yet made Sina.com, the predecessor of Sina.com, Sitong Lifang Information Technology Co., Ltd., opened a World Cup special site in May, and became the only officially designated Chinese site in France. After the start of the French summer, which made hundreds of millions of fans fanatical, the number of visits to the World Cup site of Stone Lifang also increased daily, and soon hit a record of 2 million hits per day. This is a miracle now, and the success of this operation has made the general public gradually recognize the value of the Internet as a new medium.
Fan Wuxian has always been more concerned about the development of the three major portals in the future, so he is also very clear about what these three people are doing now, and when chatting with Fan Kang, he said to him, "If you have time, it is best to go and contact these people, indicating that you are more interested in network technology, and it is okay to buy some shares or something with them, it is best to get some dollars to go over and ensure that it is good." ”
"Since you want to do it, wouldn't it be nice to do it yourself? Why do you have to join in the fun? Fan Kang was a little puzzled by this, he felt that since he had decided to set up an Internet company to build a portal, why did he have to partner with someone else?
Besides, isn't funding someone else's development equivalent to supplying bullets to the enemy? And it's very likely that none of these investments will be recouped.
Fan Kang has studied the matter of venture capital seriously for a while, and knows that this is different from loans.
"These are two very different effects." Fan Wuzhi immediately explained, "Running your own website is nothing more than two results, one is to fatten up and sell, and the other is to keep it, no matter which one it is, it takes a lot of effort, and it is not so easy." As long as the other party can become bigger and stronger, then your investment will get hundreds of times the return, and the return is staggering, and you don't need to spend any effort yourself. ”
In fact, this is an important reason why venture capital is very popular overseas, because there is too much hot money overseas, so everyone has to invest this hot money in various projects, not to find a job for themselves, but to try to make the capital flow and achieve value-added as much as possible.
Generally speaking, if a hundred investments are scattered, there will always be more than a dozen projects, as long as one or two projects are successful, the investment in their own 100 projects will be considered to be a return, and the rest will be pure profits.
For entrepreneurs, venture capital is life-saving money, but for venture capitalists themselves, these money are actually a burden, and only by letting them flow can they not depreciate and bring profits to themselves.
"Oh, there is some truth to that, but do you think these websites are reliable?" Fan Kang listened to Fan Wuxi's words and felt that this was the case, but if he invested money in it, he still needed to seriously investigate it.
There are no pop-ups
