Chapter 692 Internet Industry

After smoking a cigar for a while, Luo Feng began to get to the point.

"Mingyu, what you told me last time in Fenglinwan, after I went back, I thought about it seriously for a few days, and my heart was indeed very hot! I think about it, the opportunity given by this era is indeed rare, if you don't fight hard now, then ten or twenty years later, you will definitely regret it! So, I'm ready to do it! Moreover, we aim to be among the world's top 500! Zhang Ruimin set the time for Haier to enter the world's top 500 in 2006, and I am far inferior to Zhang Ruimin now, so I will push this time back ten years, and I will set my company to enter the world's top 500 in 2016! Like you said, the ideal still has to be there, in case it is realized! Luo Feng said in high spirits.

"Hehe, Brother Feng, you're right! This era is an era of rapid change, and it is also an era of great technological change, and there are so many opportunities! If you can seize this opportunity, position yourself in the direction of development, and maintain patience, then I think it is a high probability event to enter the world's top 500! Chen Mingyu encouraged.

"Hahaha......" Luo Feng laughed, "Brother, seriously, you are the calmest and most low-key person I have ever met, and at the same time, you are also the wildest and most awesome person I have ever met!" As far as our entire country is concerned, I don't think there will be a few people like you who are so confident and dare to speak out! ”

"Hehe, Brother Feng, are you praising me, or are you hurting me?"

"Haha, of course it's a compliment on you! However, what I have just told you is limited to the two of us. If I let others know that I actually said that I want to enter the world's top 500 in the future, then they will definitely laugh off their big teeth! ”

Luo Feng stretched out his right hand to Chen Mingyu and said, "Mingyu, this dream is a secret that only belongs between the two of us, how about it?" ”

Chen Mingyu also stretched out his right hand and said briskly: "No problem! ”

"Smack!"

Two big hands slammed together.

"Mingyu, in addition to you helping me keep it secret, you have to help me with one more thing."

"Okay, you say."

"You came up with the idea first, so you'll have to help me choose a direction! You can't shirk this! ”

"Haha, Brother Feng, if you want me to promise you, you have to promise me one thing."

"You say!"

Chen Mingyu stretched out his finger and pointed to the cigar on the table, and said, "The cigar you brought today made me addicted, and you will have to take care of me smoking cigars in the future!" This kind of good thing is not something that ordinary people can buy! ”

Luo Feng laughed and said, "Okay, it's decided!" In the future, I will take care of your cigar smoking, and I will ensure that you are fully supplied! ”

Chen Mingyu was actually just joking with Luo Feng, and at the same time asked Luo Feng not to have any psychological burden because he helped him, so he took the initiative to ask Luo Feng for cigars, in fact, he didn't take these cigars in his eyes at all, with his own strength, no matter what cigars he wanted to smoke, it was easy.

Taking another puff of his cigar, Chen Mingyu asked, "Brother Feng, do you remember the Samsung Group I mentioned to you last time?" ”

Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mingyu, you don't really want me to learn the development model of Samsung Group, do you?" ”

"Brother Feng, don't you look down on Samsung Group?"

"How can I not look at it, the main thing is that the Samsung Group has developed very well, I think this reference is really difficult for me!"

"Hehe, Brother Feng, in fact, I don't want you to completely refer to the Samsung Group. I remember saying to you last time: the road to success is difficult to copy, but the spirit of success can be shared. So, what I want you to learn is the spirit of the Samsung Group, not exactly the development model of the Samsung Group. ”

Luo Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "Then specifically, in which direction should I go?" Or rather, what business should I do? ”

Chen Mingyu stretched out two fingers and said: "Walking on two legs, the first leg is the development of Samsung Electronics, the largest subsidiary of Samsung Group, to develop electronic technology products, and the second leg is the Internet!" ”

"Internet?"

"That's right, the Internet!"

Luo Feng looked at Chen Mingyu in surprise, he was almost stunned! Although he felt that it was very difficult for Chen Mingyu to ask him to refer to Samsung Electronics and develop electronic technology products, he was not surprised, because he was already mentally prepared for this, but he was very shocked that Chen Mingyu actually asked him to develop the Internet industry!

In the past two years abroad, Luo Feng has been in contact with the Internet, and he is very shocked by this unfathomable technology, and has realized that this will definitely be a sunrise industry, a gold industry, and a big outlet in the future! However, he never thought of getting involved in this field at all, because in Luo Feng's view, this industry is too mysterious and requires too much technical content, and it is not something that ordinary people can get involved in!

In addition, Luo Feng knows that in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, there are very few people who have been exposed to the Internet, and there should not be many people in China who have been in contact with the Internet world!

Therefore, he was really shocked that Chen Mingyu suddenly proposed to let him get involved in the Internet industry!

How can this Chen Mingyu know everything, he is really too godly, right?!

Chen Mingyu looked at Luo Feng's stunned appearance, couldn't help but smile, and asked, "Brother Feng, you should have been in contact with the Internet abroad, right?" ”

Luo Feng nodded and said, "I've been in touch, and I also heard a speech given by Bill Gates, the CEO of Microsoft, at Harvard, and I was deeply shocked!" But, Mingyu, did you really let me get involved in this industry? Not kidding, right? ”

Chen Mingyu smiled: "Of course it's not a joke. ”

Luo Feng frowned and said: "However, the threshold of this industry is too high, those foreign network companies, such as Microsoft, Apple Computer, and Shi Yuzhu, who founded the giant company in China, etc., these companies are all founded by talents who are proficient in related technologies, I don't know much about the Internet, but I don't have the confidence to do this." Besides, I think the domestic environment is not too good, and the impact of foreign companies is too great, and even Shi Yuzhu has changed careers to do it*, which proves this. ”

"That's right, Brother Feng, what you're worried about is very right. However, you still haven't quite understood what I mean. When I say getting involved in the Internet industry, I don't mean that you want to be a company like Microsoft, Apple, or Giant. ”

"Oh? What kind of company is that? ”

"Hehe, Brother Feng, have you ever heard of a company called Yahoo abroad?"

"Yahoo?"

"Yes, Yahoo. THE ENGLISH NAME IS YAHOO! The founders are Chinese Americans Zhiyuan Yang and David Ferro. ”

Luo Feng shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." I spent two years in the U.S., but I was still too limited in my exposure to things. Is this Yang Zhiyuan and Yahoo famous? ”

Chen Mingyu was not surprised that Luo Feng had not heard of Yang Zhiyuan and Yahoo, because according to his "previous life" memory, the company, which was established in 1994, that is, just last year, had a turnover of only $1.3 million in 1995 and an actual loss of $630,000, and it was not until the end of 1996 that it made a mere $90,000.

However, on April 12, 1996, YAHOO! On the first day of its official listing on Wall Street, the total price of its shares reached $500 million!

In January 1997, USA Today screened "the most content, the most entertaining, the most attractive and the easiest to use online platforms" for the network community of the national information network, and found that "Yahoo" won the first place in the category of the best content, the most practical and the easiest to use for several weeks!

Later, Yahoo also grew to become the world's number one portal search site.

Later, domestic Internet tycoons Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang and others also imitated Yahoo and created a web portal, and Zhang Chaoyang even imitated Yahoo with his name, which was directly called Sohu (SOHU), and NetEase and Sohu later grew into top Internet companies in China. Also influenced by the Yahoo model was Wang Zhidong of Stone Lifang, who founded a company that was later renamed Sina.

But at the end of 1995, whether it was Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang, or Wang Zhidong, they were still confused in the ocean of Internet goodness and beauty, and they did not find their own way.

At this time, Ma Huateng was still working as a programmer in Shenzhen Runxun Communication Development Co., Ltd., focusing on the development of pager software, and was later promoted to the director of the development department.

Ma Yun went faster, he resigned from Hangzhou Institute of Electronic Industry in March this year, took out all his six or seven thousand yuan, and borrowed more than 10,000 yuan from his sister and brother-in-law, and scraped together 20,000 yuan to found the first Internet business company in China - Hangzhou Haibo Computer Service Co., Ltd., at that time there were only three employees in the company, namely Ma Yun, Ma Yun's wife Zhang Ying and He Yibing. In May, the China Yellow Pages was officially launched, and Jack Ma began to do business from his friends. At this time, there are still 3 months before China can access the Internet. In July, China Yellow Pages created a website for the Zhejiang Provincial Foreign Propaganda Office to promote Zhejiang's economy and culture on the Internet, called the "Golden Pigeon Project".

Compared with those who still swim with their heads covered in the sea of the Internet but can't find their way, the genius Jack Ma has clearly seen the path he wants to take, and all he lacks now is the opportunities brought by the capital and the environment.

Therefore, Chen Mingyu knows very well that in the coming 1996, if he grasps the opportunity, he can create a domestic "first year of the Internet"!

That is, from 1996 onwards, the Internet industry will soar like a rocket!

This is the best sunrise industry, there is no one!

Someone once said that if you stand on the tuyere, then pigs can fly!

Now, the Internet industry is the biggest outlet!
