Chapter 1479 - Keen Sense of Smell

Ma Teng finally declined Chen Hai and Xu Jie's kindness.

He always couldn't believe that a young man in his early 20s could make such a big career, but he knew that Chen Hai and Xu Jie would not use this matter to deceive him.

Therefore, Ma Teng was really interested in the founder of the legendary Xinghai Group, but his pride made him unable to accept the kindness of Chen Hai and Xu Jie.

He can be said to have lost at the hands of the other party this time, and to meet the winner as a loser, this will make Ma Teng feel very aggrieved.

That afternoon, the new owner of the bar came to take over the bar, Ma Teng got up to say goodbye, but Chen Hai and Xu Jie left the bar alone.

Instead of going home, he strolled through the streets.

The strong confidence that had always been in his eyes disappeared at this moment, and was replaced by a misappropriation of doubt, not of others, but of oneself.

At this moment, there was only one thought in Ma Teng's mind, was he too proud of himself? Did he overestimate his abilities?

No! Ma Teng shook his head, although he was a bad move this time, he felt that he was not a loser, at best, he had only checked his luck a little.

At this moment, Ma Teng was very curious, why did Mo Shaokun make the same choice as himself and use instant messaging software to enter the Internet industry?

You must know that there are many people who realize the broad prospects of the Internet industry, but there are definitely not many people who will choose instant messaging software as a product to enter.

At present, there are several Internet companies in Huaxia, and most of them have entered the Internet industry through portals and information websites, which is the most secure and effective way to enter the Internet industry.

After all, instant messaging software is still a very new term for the people of Huaxia, and there are not many netizens in Huaxia now, so there will not be much benefit from doing instant messaging software in the short term, at least it is far less effective than doing a web portal.

He valued the stamina of instant messaging software and concluded that with the opening of the Internet in China in the next few years, the number of Internet users would increase wildly, so he chose to imitate ICQ and specially developed OICQ...... It can be said that what he wants is not the immediate benefits, but the future benefits!

But what is Mo Shaokun's reason? Is it because he is as keenly aware of the future prospects of instant messaging software as he is and has entered the field, or is he just choosing a random project?

Ma Teng didn't know, but he had to admit that his curiosity about Mo Shaokun at this moment was simply beyond measure.

He couldn't wait to get to know his potential rival, and what kind of person was a young man who could open a Sunday supermarket in his freshman year and build a business giant like Xinghai Group in just a few years.

But he knew that now was not the time, at least he wouldn't meet each other as a defeated man, and even if they would meet in the future, it would definitely be as an opponent!

But although he thinks so in his heart, the so-called curiosity kills cats, once they have a strong curiosity about someone or something, then they will want to know anything about the other party out of control.

At this moment, Ma Teng had this kind of thought, he turned around and walked quickly towards the bar, he wanted to chat with Chen Hai and Xu Jie, and learn more about Mo Shaokun.

However, unfortunately, when he came to the bar, he learned that Chen Hai and Xu Jie had left.

A little annoyance appeared on Ma Teng's face, he knew that he should have asked more before.

Now that the two of them are gone, where can he learn about Mo Shaokun? There is no one around him who will have anything to do with Mo Shaokun.

Suddenly, Ma Teng's face turned wooden, and then a little dazed look in his eyes gradually turned into ecstasy, clenched his fists and waved fiercely, and he called Liu Dong while walking briskly towards home.

At this moment, Liu Dong just took out the only remaining ones and prepared to go to the Sunday supermarket near his home to buy some gifts, and visit the unit leader's house in the evening.

In order to start a business with Ma Teng, he handled the suspension of pay and left his job, and he knew that even if he returned to work now, it would not be his previous position, and if he wanted to return to his previous position, he could only pat the leader's ass first.

Just walked to the door of the supermarket, Liu Dong received a call from Ma Teng, listening to Ma Teng's excited tone on the phone, Liu Dong's eyes flashed with doubt.

"Ma Teng, you kid has discovered the New World? So excited? Liu Dong asked.

"You're right! I've really discovered a new continent this time, don't grind, hurry up and come to my house, you believe me, if this thing is done well, then we will definitely be able to make a comeback! ”

"What's up, we've never gotten up on this mountain." Liu Dong said a little depressed.

"Oh, come quickly, I won't tell you yet, I want to check some information." After speaking, Ma Teng hung up the phone directly.

Liu Dong listened to the beep sound coming from the microphone, and frowned slightly.

looked at the Sunday supermarket that was close at hand, and then looked at the mobile phone in his hand, Liu Dong's expression looked a little tangled.

He knew that Ma Teng must have some idea to call him so excitedly, he trusted Ma Teng, not only trusted his technology, but also trusted his ability, so at the beginning of Ma Teng's call, he almost didn't consider it at all, so he went through the procedures for suspension of pay and left his job without hesitation, and took out all his family funds to develop OICQ in partnership with Ma Teng.

But this failure made Liu Dong a little scared, he couldn't afford to play, all the family resources had been trapped, he didn't blame Ma Teng, but he was really afraid that tossing with Ma Teng like this would only waste more time.

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Dong finally gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn! This guy, then I'm going crazy with him! ”

Although he failed this time, Liu Dong believed in Ma Teng's business acumen and ability, and to be honest, Liu Dong didn't want to live the life of a 9-to-5 office worker, otherwise he wouldn't have followed Ma Teng in the first place.

Anyway, so much time and money have been wasted, and now that you are poor, what is there to be afraid of? It's a big deal to gamble, and if you lose, you will lose some time, and if you win, then ......

Thinking of this, Liu Dong took a deep breath and didn't go to the Sunday supermarket chain again, turned around and came to the side of the road, stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, and went straight to Ma Teng's house.

Ma Teng's house, as soon as Ma Teng came back, he rushed directly into the study, turned on the computer and began to consult the information.

Gradually, a happy smile bloomed on his face, and his fingers tapped the table in a rhythmic manner, and after a moment, he clenched his palm into a fist and slammed it on the table while whispering, "Damn! I don't believe that this time I can be preempted? ”

Hearing a knock on the door outside, he knew that it was Liu Dong coming.

Opening the door and seeing Liu Dong with a depressed face, Ma Teng lightly punched him in the chest and said, "I knew you would come!" ”

"Don't be too happy, I can sue you first, I'm just here to see the situation, whether I want to accompany you to continue to be crazy depends on whether you can convince me." Liu Dong rolled his eyes and said.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be interested, let's go, go to the study!"

When the two came to the study, Ma Teng pointed to the computer desktop and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Liu Dong frowned, looked at Ma Teng like an idiot, and said, "Are you okay with this guy?" Isn't this Archie? ”

"That's right! It's Archie! So I ask you, what is Archie for? Ma Teng looked at Liu Dong excitedly.

Liu Dong rolled his eyes and said, "I said, are you stimulated and your brain is not clear?" Do you want me to take you to the hospital? Don't burn out your brain. ”

"Oh, I'm fine, you answer my question first." Ma Teng shook off Liu Dong's hand that reached out to touch his forehead and stared at him.

Liu Dong was completely speechless, and he sighed lightly: "Archie, is an FTP text jiàn resource search software, born in 1990, can help people search for FTP wen resources on the Internet. However, now this software has been largely obsolete, because when this software was born, the World Wide Web (that is, URLs that start with WWW) had not yet been born, so Archie could only search for FTP format text jiàn resources. But now that they're mostly using the World Wide Web, Archie is basically useless. ”

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Ma Teng snapped his fingers and said: "What you said is right, then what do you say if we make a search engine that meets the needs of the modern Internet?" ”

Liu Dong looked at Ma Teng in amazement, and then a little light gradually appeared in his eyes and said, "How can you have this idea?" ”

At that moment, Ma Teng told Liu Dong about what he heard about Mo Shaokun in the bar before.

"Then I thought to myself, there must be a lot of people who are just as confused as I am, who are eager to know about some things but have no access and no means, after all, TK may still be available in books, but there are many things that cannot be obtained from books. Thinking about it, I suddenly thought of Archie, wasn't the original intention of Archie being made out to make it easier for everyone to find something? Although Archie is very backward now, it is a reminder that why can't we make a similar search engine of our own, so that everyone can easily use our search engine to find what they need to know or want to know? Ma Teng said.

Liu Dong's brows kept frowning, and after being silent for a long time, he nodded slowly: "Your idea is good, if it can really be done, the prospect should be very good." ”

After a pause, he raised his head and looked at Ma Teng and said, "But we don't know anything about this, so we don't know where to start." ”

Ma Teng smiled and said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, as long as we want to do it, there is nothing we can't do, just like the original OICQ, we don't have any experience, but don't we do it after pondering?" One of the biggest commonalities of the Internet industry is that many technical features are common! ”

Liu Dong smiled bitterly: "You are optimistic, the problem is that all our funds have been smashed into OICQ, and we have no extra funds to do this." ”

Ma Teng was silent, and then said: "I'll figure out the funds, this thing is a technical job, let's build the framework first, this shouldn't need much money." As for the rented server required for the later launch, we can wait for the framework to be set up and find investors, as long as our things have a future, we are not afraid that no one will invest! ”

"That's what you said when you did OICQ, but we ended up running around for months and people used us for liars. There are too few people in China who know about the Internet industry, and they don't believe that a virtual technology product can bring them much benefit, making it difficult for them to invest. ”

"If it doesn't work in China, let's go to Hong Kong Island to find it! It's much more open than in China, and it's much earlier to get in touch with the Internet. If Hong Kong Island is not enough, then we will look abroad! If it's not good abroad......" Ma Teng looked at Liu Dong and paused, and then said word by word: "Then I'll go back and beg my dad!" We'll do it ourselves! ”

At this moment, Ma Teng may have been stimulated by Mo Shaokun, and his heart was full of pride.

A young man a few years younger than him can create such a big business, why can't he Ma Teng? If no one is willing to invest, then he will pull down his face and go back to his father, in short, he can only succeed this time anyway, and cannot fail!
