Chapter 6 The Machine That Makes Money
In the previous life, the domestic electric shaver market was full of various brands, such as Philips, Gillette Braun, Panasonic, Sanyo, etc., and domestic first-line brands such as Feike, Pentium, Superman, True Man, Dingling and other brands that did not enter the stream.
Lu Xi is very unfamiliar with the name Ruifeng, if Wanle razor in his previous life also used this trademark later, it should be in the list of not entering the stream. But now there has been a slight deviation in the historical trajectory, Liu Wenbiao was only imprisoned in 05 in the previous life, Guo Quanxiao made false accounts may not have been found out at that time, and there may not be a store of the brand Ruifeng.
At this time, with the accumulation of technical experience of Wanle, after the replacement of the Ruifeng trademark, as long as the promotion and publicity are in place, this new brand should be easy to open the market. No matter what kind of development Ruifeng can develop in the future, this is good news for him, with the brand of Ruifeng, Dad does not have to vigorously develop the market.
Seeing that Zhou Jiahui didn't look like she was lying to herself, for the development of her own factory, Lu Xi also wanted to help her make a new product promotion plan.
After leaving the hospital, Lu Xi went home and wanted to inform his father of the good news, but his father was not at home.
Xiaomei is chatting with strange netizens abroad with ICQ and translation tools, and she is still preparing for high school abroad. In the previous life, my parents planned to send my little sister out to study abroad, but the family was in ruins, and my little sister died tragically before she graduated from junior high school.
Lu Xi stood beside him and watched for a while, not knowing if his parents still had such plans now, seeing that the little sister turned around and asked what the words sent by the netizen meant, Lu Xi looked at it twice and said with a smile: "This person scolded you, delete him." ”
The little sister pouted and asked him angrily what words he used to fight back, Lu Xi shook his head and said that he didn't know, so the little sister typed a string of Chinese, turned around and said: "I want to scold back, he can't understand me before he is angry." ”
The little sister refused to suffer any loss, looking at the words she sent, Lu Xi sweated profusely, turned around and walked out of the house. The computer at home is still configured two years ago, which is somewhat insufficient for Lu Xi, and the little sister and father often rush to use it together, and he wants to have a new computer.
Lu Quanzhong and Xu Youzhen came back together in the evening, and saw a computer in Lu Xi's bedroom, and no one paid attention to him as if he was staring at the screen and was fascinated, Xu Youzhen suddenly frowned and said, "Where did the computer come from?" ”
Lu Xi turned around and smiled, and replied: "I just bought it, I need a good one to write a program to make a website." ”
Xu Youzhen glared again and said, "Waste, what's the use of having two at home?" When I came back, I tinkered with the computer all day long, and hurried to school after the Mid-Autumn Festival. "I looked back and counted the husband's money at this time.
Lu Quanzhong smiled innocently and said, "That's what your son earned by writing his own program abroad." After speaking, he stood behind Lu Xi and looked at it twice, didn't understand anything, and asked with a smile: "Studied abroad?" Lu Xi smiled, nodded to his father with a smile, and then turned around and waited for his father to praise him for a few words, and then saw his mother say with a straight face: "If you can get a Sohu out, it's okay, if you can't get these things that are not doing your job, take a few days off and let me go to school well, Danying has been admitted to Xingang University, and you can't be bad." ”
Lu Xi grinned, Chen Danying is the daughter of her mother's distant cousin's family, only one year older than him, the two have been playing together since they were children, and after going to school, his mother always compares his little cousin with him, and he has always pressed his little cousin.
Lu Quanzhong pulled his wife aside with a smile and said, "The future is a technological society, and your son will at least starve to death." ”
I thought that my father, the first generation of netizens in China, would say that there was great development, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, Lu Xi smiled helplessly. I didn't want to be nagged by my mother, Lu Xi smiled and said: "Oh, I have something to tell you, our factory doesn't need to rush to develop the market, the Taiwanese woman named Zhou Jiahui who went to the hospital to find you today, she said that the brand Wanle can't be done, and when Guo Quanxiao's fake accounts are dealt with, he will kick out the bath machine business, replace it with a new trademark, and continue to make razors." ”
Lu Quanzhong was stunned and looked at Lu Xi in a daze, he didn't believe that the woman would tell her son about these things.
Xu Youzhen was afraid that Lu Xi would get too close to Taiwanese businessmen to let Liu Wenbiao know, so she taught a lesson: "Don't mix with you child, it's nothing to do with you." ”
Lu Xi grinned and said with a smile: "You can't watch my dad mortgage his car and house to the bank for loans to develop new markets, and if the new market is not good, he will lose Wanle, a stable downstream manufacturer." ”
Xu Youzhen glanced at her husband, Lu Quanzhong ignored her, and asked Lu Xi, "Are you sure?" "This news is really good news for him.
"Zhou Jiahui said it personally, but this matter has to wait for Guo Quanxiao's fake account to be over, I think it won't be long before this matter will have a result."
Lu Xi was afraid that his parents would worry, so he didn't dare to say that he had pointed out Liu Wenbiao, a key figure hidden in the middle, to Zhou Jiahui. He didn't care at all, he was sure that the Taiwanese proprietress would seek help from the Lucheng government, and Lucheng would definitely make a decisive move in order to attract investment, Liu Wenbiao has not been whitewashed, and the evidence of such a person's crime can be found lightly, even if Liu Wenbiao can jump again, it is impossible to confront the government, he has a few days to toss.
Lu Quanzhong laughed twice and said, "Oh, that's good news. However, he is not sure whether the evidence of Guo Quanxiao's false accounts can be found by the Taiwanese proprietress, after all, there is a Liu Wenbiao mixed in it, if there is no such person, he wants to help.
Xu Youzhen also sighed when she heard the conversation between her husband and her son, her husband had already planned to mortgage the car and house and Lutang's old house to the bank, she was really afraid that the factory would not do well, so that the family would not even have a place to live.
Lu Xi led the conversation to this matter, and his parents stopped asking him about the computer. Mom went out to cook dinner with relief, and Dad also sat on the sofa in the living room and called to ask about Wanle.
At present, my father will not be as anxious to develop new markets as he was in his previous life, and Lu Xi is also relieved, as long as Liu Wenbiao's scourge is removed, Guo Quanxiao's fake accounts will come to the fore, and the brand Ruifeng will not be far away.
Early on Monday morning, I heard my father say that the relevant departments in the city were going to the factory for acceptance, and Lu Xi followed his father to the battery factory for a walk. Earlier, the company was suspended for rectification and fined, and the pollution control equipment of the factory was purchased and installed from the manufacturers designated by the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, and the acceptance was also completed after a formality.
The group of people left, Lu Quanzhong also showed a smile on his face, it seemed that the depression of the past two months had been swept away, yesterday he had determined that after the Taiwan boss and Guo Quanxiao's matter was dealt with, Wanle would reorganize and eliminate the bath machine business and replace it with a new brand as a razor.
****************
The matter at home is settled, and Lu Xi has to think seriously about his own affairs.
In his previous life, when he was abroad, Lu Xi had been paying attention to the dynamics of domestic Internet companies, and even if he only returned to China in 05 in his previous life, he also had an unusual understanding of the development of the domestic Internet. If the trajectory of history remains unchanged, there are already three Chinese versions of instant messaging software in the domestic market, PICQ of Taiwan Information People Company and the Internet Genie of Jianye Polaris Technology Company, as well as PCICQ of Feihua Company of Suizhou Telecom, and in another month, Xiao Ma Ge's company will be established, and the first version of OICQ will be officially launched in February next year, in addition, there is an English version of the instant messaging software ICQ in China - which is also the world's first instant messaging software.
Under today's new wave of technology, domestic and foreign portals and e-commerce are the mainstream, instant messaging has not yet had a real definition, at this time the country is still called the network pager or network big brother, because it is too niche, not favored, even developers and operators are too lazy to come up with a Chinese name.
The software that Lu Xi brought back was also instant messaging software, and he named the software - WeChat, the icon is a giant panda with a red scarf, holding an emerald green bamboo in his hand, and the name of the company applied for registration is Green Bamboo Technology.
ICQ is a pure English version, at this time at home and abroad has tens of millions of users, but does not pay attention to the Chinese market, the Chinese version is far away, as a person who has come over, Lu Xi will not consider competing with it, it will also be wiped out in China, the most important competitors at the moment are PICQ and Internet Genie and PCICQ.
Even if the Taiwanese information company did not know how to operate the huge market in the mainland due to various policy restrictions in the previous life, PICQ lost the best opportunity; Polaris is a chess-based company that lacks investment in Internet elves; The PCICQ developed by Feihua is only one part of the many services provided by the Suizhou Information Port, and the state-owned enterprises lack the foresight and strategic awareness, and the three have been tepid, and finally lost in the competition with OCIQ, and finally withdrew from the market. But the three software have been online for nearly two months at this time, and this life is not the previous life, Lu Xi will not take it lightly, if he wants to have the strength to fight with OCIQ and the future of domestic and foreign instant messaging software next year, he must first turn over the three mountains in front of him.
Of course, Lu Xi has a lot of confidence to compete with PICQ, Internet Genie and PCICQ, in addition to Weixin's more powerful functions and concise operation, he also has three forward-looking companies that do not have the future market - at this time, the vast majority of people do not know that websites or software can rely on traffic to make money, and when the Chinese people wake up, or after Baidu's acquisition of website navigation hao123, Lu Xi is now going ahead of everyone, so that Weixin has more registered users, laying a solid foundation for the future.
At the same time as the micro-message is launched, the opening of the Internet café is also to provide a foundation for the micro-message, even if the micro-message is launched now, the profit will have to wait for one to two years, and at this stage, the money will be burned all the time, and the money in his hand is not enough at all. The cost of the Internet café in the Xingang business district is fifteen yuan per hour, and the number of Internet cafes near several universities has dropped to ten yuan because of the fierce competition, and there are not many Internet cafes in Lucheng, and the price is ten yuan per hour.
In the past week or so since returning to China, Lu Xi has to go to the Internet café that is being renovated every day to take a few looks, and his parents have urged him to go to school several times, but they have given him jet lag and prevaricated the past.
On the morning of October 8th, the filing of the domain name finally came down, and he called the agency company, Lu Xi looked forward to the good news again, the company's license has also come down, and now only the procedures for the Internet café have not been completed.
The license and domain name came down at the same time, and Lu Xi bought a train ticket and went straight to Xingang. After getting out of the car, Lu Xi first went to get the license, then engraved the official seal, applied for a registered trademark, and then bought a ticket and flew directly to Yanjing to file the software.
Even if he was afraid of taking a plane, but he didn't want to delay it for too long, Lu Xi could only insist, fortunately, the journey from Xingang to Yanjing should not be too long.
