The vision of the B2C model is good, but the pressure on logistics and warehousing is too high. A few orders a day, dozens of orders are easy to handle. Pick up the goods in the market, and the delivery can be done, but the profits will be thinner and thinner in the future, just like selling cabbage.

What about hundreds of orders? What about thousands of orders? You can't only sell assembly computers and peripheral products forever, then you need to build your own warehouse, the warehouse of e-commerce is different from the ordinary inventory warehouse, there are a wide variety of products, how to do it quickly sort, pack, and ship after placing an order is a big test. To build a warehouse of tens of thousands of square meters, it is impossible to do it without 30 or 40 million.

And since Chen Bo has obtained the right to sell iPods online, he also needs to make good use of this channel.

Chen Bo first found Su Chenghao, he will be responsible for the operation of the entire company in the future, and after talking with him, I found that his changes are also quite big, from the initial introversion and admitting death, he has gradually become cheerful, but he is still in order and meticulous, which is also where Chen Bo values him more, he can learn if he is not capable enough, but some people can't learn the attitude of doing things.

Dingdong registered a company separately after the year and sent people to expand the market in Yangcheng, the provincial capital. Recruit website technicians, build independent servers, and facilitate C2C customer trading platforms. The problem of traffic, who are you afraid of now holding Pangu Navigation and Tencent QQ? And Chen Bo has a bigger plan.

After encouraging Su Chenghao, he had another meal with all the employees of Dingdong. His boss is a little disappointed, and since he was established, he has been completely free-range, and he basically didn't ask much. The Spring Festival benefits are naturally indispensable, and the same treatment as Sky.com, the annual meeting will also organize programs to carnival together.

"Yiming, do you want to find more breakthroughs on the road of technology?" After returning from Dingdong, Chen Bo found Zhang Yiming as soon as possible.

"What's wrong? I felt as if something big was going to happen! Zhang Yiming lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and there was an expression that pierced everything.

Chen Bo said, "I'm preparing to plan a big project, you will definitely be interested!" ”

"Another big project? Don't fool me! ”

Last time, Chen Bo said that it was a big project, and he came back from abroad, first making a fortune from Wanwang, and then making a sky network. Although there are some achievements, for him who is a technical maniac, the sense of achievement is still a little unsatisfactory. Now that the sky net is stabilizing, he feels bored.

"Search engine!"

Chen Bo only said a few words, which made Zhang Yiming's eyes light up.

"I'll go, the search engine is awesome. But I can't do it alone! Zhang Yiming didn't expect Chen Bo to want to be a search engine, isn't this really like a website, which can be made casually.

"You only need to be responsible for doing a good job in the Chinese search function, and you don't have to worry about the other links." Chen Bodao.

The working principle of the search engine requires the web crawler to crawl the web page on the website, then store it on the text server, and then search according to the keywords searched by the user.

It seems that it is simple to enter a keyword, and hundreds of thousands of messages will pop up immediately, which is very easy, and can be done in the case of 0 points and seconds, but in fact, it has gone through a very cumbersome and complex process in the invisible background to obtain the results, so the search engine has always been a project with high requirements for technical conditions.

This is also why, although it is also the cold winter of the Internet, Yahoo is still profitable, he has mastered the entrance of traffic, and all websites that want to be included have to be charged, which is a profitable business.

Nowadays, the experience of mainstream search engines is not good, because all indexes are added manually. The second-generation search engines used today, also known as manual search engines, may not produce the results you want.

The on-site search engine technology that Chen Bo exchanged from Xilang and Suhu is actually a technical reserve in the keyword logic algorithm. It would have been a few years before search technology could be developed, but now that there are better prerequisites, this is on the agenda.

Shi Zhiwen's web crawler, Pratt's paper verification of the final results can finally complete the web page rating system, Zhang Yiming led the development of intelligent search for Chinese keywords. The result is a whole set of search engines.

Now it's about money and money, and technology is about technology, and while Google and Baidu haven't officially changed from technology companies to Internet companies, why not do it.

Zhang Yiming is no stranger to the technology of search engines, and he feels that this is a challenge for him, and the technical content of making a website is much lower than this, so he readily agreed. Zhang Yiming now holds 7.7% of the shares of Sky.com, and even if the current market value is valued at $80 million, there is still $6.16 million.

Chen Bo promised to give him 10% of the shares of Pangu Search, although it seems that Pangu Search is not valuable, but his future development prospects are absolutely beyond the existence of Skynet, and now he is facing the situation of splitting. Of course, Zhang Yiming can also see which one is more worthwhile, and Chen Bo of course also has to leave 5% stock options for the other two technical engineers.

Relying on Chen Bo's strength alone, 40 million US dollars thrown into it may not be able to make a splash, and it will inevitably be refinanced in the later stage, although it seems that Pangu Technology now occupies 85% of the shares, but in fact, until the day of listing, it may be diluted to only a dozen percent.

There is no need to worry about the technical problems of the sky network, now the website is stable, and you can be responsible for choosing a strong one from the technical team, how can you make others feel that there is hope in the company without room for growth, and the development speed of Internet companies has always been compared with non-traditional industries, which are hundreds of times and thousands of times the growth rate.

After Chen Bo returned to Pengcheng, he never stopped his movements, like a spinning top, without respite. After getting Zhang Yiming, Chen Bo began to contact the founding team of Tencent again.

Lingnan culture likes to eat morning tea, which is a traditional way of socializing, not only drinking tea, but also eating snacks, and there is no cumbersome etiquette rules in the north, only when the host pours tea, the guest index finger lightly touches the table to express gratitude. The relaxed, comfortable environment is the best choice for gatherings and leisure, brewing a pot of oolong tea, or chatting, or parents or business contacts are the best choice.

The founding team of Tengxun are all Lingnan people, so they are naturally no strangers to this culture, although Pengcheng, an immigrant city with multiple cultures, is not easy to find this kind of place, but there is a small private room in a teahouse to receive them.

After making a pot of Tieguanyin, I will serve some delicious dim sum snacks, such as dry steamed siu mai, crystal shrimp dumplings, abalone sauce and chicken feet, and pork ribs with soy sauce. It is fragrant in the mouth and has a long aftertaste.

"I said, Brother Chen, this morning is not just as simple as asking us to have morning tea." Zeng Liqing is a straight man and took the lead in speaking.

Ma Teng was always smiling, staring at Chen Bo with interest, as if he also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

Chen Bo said slowly, "As you know, I just came back from the United States. Not only did it reach a cooperation agreement with Apple, but it also approached some local venture capital companies in the United States. I told them in detail about the current development status of QQ, and they were very interested in Tencent's current business and were interested in financing. ”

"How much do they want?" Ma Teng said vigilantly.

Although Tengxun is in a very difficult situation now, if it were not for Chen Bo's interest-free loan of 500,000 US dollars and the traffic fee settled by Sky Network, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on, but this does not mean that he wants to lose the controlling stake in the company, as long as the other party is not too excessive, he can still agree. After all, the founding team now owns 60% of the shares. At the same time, it occupies the vast majority of voting rights, and Chen Bo's voting rights are also granted to Ma Teng himself.

Chen Bo smiled and said, "Brother Ma, don't worry, they won't dilute the share issue, and they won't want control of the company, what they want now is Yingke's 20% share." As soon as you nod your head and agree, they will go and talk to each other and then inject capital into the company. At the same time, they also brought a gift, which is the top-level domain of QQ. ”

Several people were shocked that the top-level domain name of QQ had already been registered by an American and used as a personal website. When Tencent changed OICQ to QQ, he wanted to acquire this domain name, but the other party's price was 2 million US dollars, which really scared them. Therefore, the company's English name, Tencent, can only be used as the domain name of the official website.

Whether the domain name of a website is simple or not will directly affect the website traffic, if your name is QQ, I am easy to enter and remember. If you call it Tencent, many netizens have low educational qualifications, how can you remember this, it will waste a lot of traffic invisibly, and it is not conducive to brand building. Unexpectedly, the other party is obviously wealthy, and he prepared a generous gift in advance, and it seems that he has also done a detailed investigation.

Then the other party asked Chen Bo to be a lobbyist, I don't know what considerations it was? The specific financing can be negotiated by themselves, Ma Teng faintly felt that there was something wrong in his heart.

"We don't have any other questions, but do they have any other requirements than that?" Ma Teng said.

"Nothing else, the other party will not appoint additional independent directors and non-independent directors, you can rest assured of this, I am just a front station. If I can, I'll let them do it, and you'll talk about it when the time comes. ”

Chen Bo shouldn't say too much, because he doesn't want to expose himself and make a fortune in a muffled voice. Anyway, Depp will be in charge at that time, and this is just to give them a preventive shot first.

Specifically, how Tengxun will operate in the future, we need to wait for Chen Bo to fully control and enter the board of directors, and then solve it one by one, so let's spend the New Year in peace first.
