Chapter 16 Jianghe Group
After several deliberations, Jiang Heyang finally chose not to go anywhere, neither to go to Tsinghua University as a teacher, nor to follow Yuan Fuye as a younger brother. Just do it yourself, although the sales of the software are not good now, but this software has attracted the attention of some insiders, indicating that the software itself is still very good. In addition, don't you still have hundreds of thousands of bottoms, what are you afraid of? But Jiang Heyang also knows that if the software still can't open the market like this, it will really be like Yuan Fuye said, once it is pirated, then the software will be completely finished.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to make the software free and open the market first, rather than being pirated to seize the market, it is better to seize the market himself. It took Jiang Heyang another four or five days to improve the software and change the authorization method. Finally, this free version was released to the major software markets. As a result, the number of downloads of this software increased exponentially from the next day. In just one week, it has been downloaded more than 10,000 times. Jiang Heyang regained his confidence, and now it seems that it is really not that his software is not doing well, but mainly because everyone is unwilling to pay for it. But in this case, even if there is such a good number of downloads, what can it do? If you can't make money by yourself, you have to spend money and energy to update and maintain the version. What's even worse is that the investor came to the door and scolded Jiang Heyang, saying why he made the software free without their permission. Jiang Heyang didn't give them a good face, so he went back directly. Say they are short-sighted and don't know how to market.
That night, Jiang Heyang thought about it and held back another trick, since his software now has such a large number of users, it is better to advertise on it, only do advertisements when opening, and the advertising time is not long, only 5 seconds. This can not only generate advertising revenue, but also not allow users to only see a progress bar when they open it, and also give users more brand awareness. The more Jiang Heyang thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, so he planned to go to the sponsorship to find cooperation the next day. But good ideas are good ideas, the reality is still very cruel, Jiang Heyang searched for a week and didn't find a sponsor. He thought maybe his popularity was too low, what should he do? He thought of another trick, since others are not willing to do it, then I will do it myself, and give them a demonstration first. That night, Jiang Heyang designed an advertisement when opening the software, 5 seconds, in the form of animated pictures and text, put his own three-point water technology into it, and wrote a line of small print below, welcome to join the software's opening advertisement. After doing it, Jiang Heyang pushed out the code of this advertisement on the same day. Jiang Heyang was a little excited in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of attitude everyone would have towards this approach.
The next morning, he opened the computer to see the software comment area, but fortunately, most of the users still said that the software was good, maybe because it was free, and everyone didn't care too much. He continued to scroll down, and at this time a special comment of his came into Jiang Heyang's sight, which read: We want to advertise. Then the contact and phone number are written underneath. Looking further down, some users wrote: Why should this software be left on the server side, is there a risk that the data in our software will be leaked? Jiang Heyang hurriedly replied below: The database inside does not exist on the server side, and we will not capture any user data, but the framework code of the software is updated with the server side. After a few days of tossing back and forth, Jiang Heyang finally explained to users one by one. The most important point is that he contacted a company to advertise, and they verbally promised to spend 1 million on advertising a year, but they also demanded that if the number of downloads of the software did not reach 2 million after a year, the advertising fee would be halved. However, this doesn't seem to be too much of a problem for Jiang Heyang, even if it is halved, it won't affect anything, it's a free thing, and you can still earn 50 or 1 million a year, it's not too exciting.
As soon as their advertising contract was signed, the people from the investment company came over, and they felt that Jiang Heyang didn't listen to them at all, and it was difficult to cooperate with him anymore, and they felt that Jiang Heyang would kill himself sooner or later. So they hired a third-party appraisal company to value Sandianshui Technology. In the end, they estimated 2 million, and then the investor asked Jiang Heyang to refund them according to the proportion. Jiang Heyang didn't even look at the contract, and didn't care whether their cooperation expired or not, and returned the money to them without blinking an eye. Because in his opinion, they only look at the short-term, not the long-term, and it is not interesting to cooperate with them.
In the following months, Jiang Heyang devoted himself to another software development process. Because of his keen observation and unusual thinking, he designed software ideas that were so novel that they were even a year or five ahead of his time. Then he felt that he was alone and too inefficient, so he began to expand. He first asked two classmates to help, and then directly recruited people, so that after a year, they have released more than 10 software, and the advertising fees are also more and more, and the funds are sufficient. Jiang Heyang felt that it was time to make hardware, so he found a few foundries and began to talk about his ideas, foundries only have certain requirements for quantity, but Jiang Heyang felt that these were not problems, and he felt that the most critical and expensive place was product design. So Jiang Heyang found a few art students in his school to design the appearance of the product, and then the electronics department, the computer department, and the foreign language department quickly gathered more than ten people to start product research and development.
The things they started to make were really bad, but in that era when materials were scarce and the design was outdated, as long as there was a new product coming out, someone would still pay for it. In this way, Jiang Heyang and his three-point water technology developed very rapidly. Jiang Heyang also has almost no time to go to school to study, and his affairs have long been discovered by the school teachers, and the school has talked to him a few times, still hoping that he can go to school first and then start a business. At first, he said a few perfunctory words, and finally went directly to the teacher and said that he wanted to suspend school. In the end, Jiang Heyang realized his wish, and after taking a break from school, he had more time to manage the company.
During this period, he wanted to go to the United States to find Gu Minghui, but the company was developing too fast and there were too many things to leave, so he delayed it again and again. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. Jiangheyang's company is no longer Sandianshui Technology, but has become Jianghe Group. The software and hardware they developed have also caught the express train of the mobile Internet, and the group's real estate companies have also caught the express train of China's real estate industry. In short, the company's crazy expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and many emerging industries have been caught up and led by them. Including the previous Fuye Group, it was also defeated after several battles, from the original leader to a follower and eventually acquired by Jianghe Group. However, Jiang Heyang did not get carried away because he achieved such a great achievement, although he has superhuman ability, he has completed what most people can't accomplish in a few lifetimes before he is 30 years old.
On this day, he called Gu Minghui and said: "Minghui, come here, don't stay in the United States, my current strength can support you for a few lifetimes, you don't have to work so hard to go to school, and it will be more tiring to work for others after school." ”
"You just called me today, I originally wanted to call you, and today I want to formally talk to you about our affairs. We will still be friends in the future, but only in the ordinary relationship between good friends and old classmates. You are talented and intelligent, and now you are down-to-earth and capable, and I hope that your career will flourish and get better and better. You don't have to call me all the time anymore. ”
"What are you talking about? Are you going to break up with me? Did you find a boyfriend over there? Say, "Who is it?" Is he as good as me? Jiang Heyang roared and questioned Gu Minghui.
"Whatever you want, but I hope you know that there's nothing between us. More than a month is just a drop of water in the long river of time, and our drop of water has not even stirred up a ripple so far. ”
Jiang Heyang wanted to say something, but Gu Minghui had already hung up the phone. Jiang Heyang had some pain in his mind, but it was far from being overwhelmed as he thought before. He was thinking about what Gu Minghui said, maybe there was really nothing between the two of them, it was just over a month. And in this hurried years, it has long been exhausted. If you divide it, you can divide it, so that you can focus more on your career, and Jiang Heyang's goal now is to be the best enterprise in China and become the best entrepreneur. Of course, I think the first judging factor is personal assets.
Letting go of the emotional baggage, he started his own business more attentively, and after nearly ten years of hard work, he gradually formed a near-monopoly on some industries. The smart office industry, the Internet finance industry, the smart home industry, and the smart city industry are their core competitiveness. Especially for smart cities, the starting point of this industry is too high, first of all, there must be a huge database and super cloud computing capabilities, and then there must be independent core software and hardware support and a strong network of contacts. Jiang Heyang felt that this was the top priority, so he was personally in charge of this business. Local experiments and large-scale construction have been carried out in many cities in China, and very good results have been achieved. And this technology is also first-class in the world.
One day, Yuan Fuye came over and gave Jiang Heyang a document, saying: "There are two cities in the United Kingdom and France that want to jointly carry out a smart city pilot, so they have found several internationally renowned companies in this field to participate in the design and construction of the scheme, and this is the invitation letter they sent us." Jiang Heyang became interested when he heard this, this is a good opportunity, and it may be a turning point for them to go to the world. So he personally appointed 20 engineers to participate in the planning of the main scheme. He is responsible for the communication with customers, as well as the deployment of human resources in all aspects and the final review of the plan. After nearly half a year of program design and planning, they finally came up with a plan that made Jiangheyang feel very good, and they also invited customers to China to visit their successful cases, and the customer experience was very satisfied. Jiang Heyang himself is no longer the original fledgling young man after more than ten years of hard work in the shopping mall, he has rich experience in this kind of business operation, and often surprises and wins with one move, so that competitors have lost the competition before they even understand what is going on. This time, too, he devised a lot of tricks and released them one by one, but when he was about to win, the client suddenly declared the American company victorious. Jiang Heyang felt extremely indignant, and he couldn't get the order after paying for so long, which made him very angry and strange. I have been in business for so long, and I basically win more and lose less, and what I lose is basically the business that I don't like very much. And this time he didn't get such an important order, which really made him a little unacceptable.
Jiang Heyang lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa, he wondered if he was still too underestimated, the other party's company had his subordinates do the investigation, they were not in this industry, how could they snatch their orders? Thinking of this, he walked to his desk, turned on the computer, and looked up the American company "Hoth Group". The encyclopedia writes the general history and business scope of this company, this company is indeed a very powerful multinational enterprise, and the fields involved are also very wide. Suddenly, Jiang Heyang noticed a line of small words, the current president "Ma."
ia. Gu”。 The name was familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it, so he took a hard puff on his cigarette and closed his eyes in search. “Ma
IA GU: "Isn't this Gu Minghui?" At that time, Gu Minghui said that her English name was Ma when tutoring her English
ia, and also told herself that she was actually a legal U.S. citizen. It's her, it's actually her, I didn't expect it to be my own goddess who won my own. "I just thought, who in this world can beat me? Hehe...hehe..."Jiang Heyang muttered to himself. Then Jiang Heyang picked up his mobile phone and searched for Gu Minghui's number, he wanted to call it, but finally put it down. I haven't fought for too long, and I suddenly hit and say something, saying that I was defeated by her, no, it will make her laugh at herself. However, Jiang Heyang is also thinking about why his plan is so easily defeated at such a good price? Could it be that Gu Minghui already knew that the competitor was herself? But even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to defeat herself easily, right? This made Jiang Heyang a little puzzled. Unless it's... He shook his head again, how could there be a mole in this company, they were all brothers brought up by themselves, and it was impossible to betray them. Hey, I don't want to, it doesn't matter if I lose at the hands of my goddess anyway, thinking of this, Jiang Heyang is actually in a much better mood.
Under the leadership of Jiangheyang, Jianghe Group has maintained a state of rapid development. Not only is it second to none in China, but also in the overseas market, it is also making great progress, constantly attacking cities and grabbing land, and has become a leader in high-tech research and development, real estate, intelligent manufacturing, new energy and other fields in the world. Especially in terms of real estate and new energy, all over the world, wherever Jianghe Group passes, other competitors are all down.
Although this is very beneficial to the development of Jianghe Group, it has also caused panic, jealousy and even boycott of many competitors, and the voice of anti-monopoly has sounded everywhere, and Jiangheyang has to expand the staff of the legal department to deal with the entanglement of various lawsuits. One of the Indian companies caught the attention of Jiangheyang because the company sued Jianghe Group in 10 countries around the world at the same time, including patents, antitrusts, debts, etc. This made Jiang Heyang very annoyed, wondering if this Indian Ah San was deliberately targeting himself, why did he have to get along with himself, because as far as he knew, the conflict between the field involved in this company and himself was not too big, why did they die of themselves? In order to find out the reason for the matter, Jiang Heyang planned to visit their boss in person. He first asked people to make an appointment with the head of the company's headquarters in China, surnamed Zhou, a native of Shanghai. When they met, Jiang Heyang didn't give them any chance to play falsely, and when he opened the door, he asked why he was the enemy of Jiang Hehe Group in a completely unfamiliar field to them. This Mr. Zhou was obviously not mentally prepared, and he didn't know that Jiang Heyang would ask such a straightforward question. He smiled and coughed twice, and then said: "This is the normal operation of the company, we protect all our intellectual property rights and the right to compete in the market, do you think we are deliberately making enemies of you?" ”
"Intellectual property, the right to compete, do you have it? Do you have high-tech things like our intelligent manufacturing and new energy technology, and you have no intellectual property rights in these fields at all, as far as I know, you started by smuggling, drug trafficking, opening casinos, and reselling arms, and you are also worthy of talking to me about intellectual property rights? ”
At this time, the surname Zhou's face was a little unbearable, and then he said sharply: "The surname Jiang, don't talk nonsense, our company is a regular multinational enterprise, and it is all innocent business, if you say this again, I can sue you immediately." “
"You still have fewer prosecutions, huh? Come on, come on, just add another one today, see how many tricks you have? Bastard! After speaking, Jiang Heyang turned around and left with a few people. I heard the man surnamed Zhou say in the back: "Bandits, bandits!" ”
Jiang Heyang, who returned to the office, recalled the scene just now and seemed to think of something, he felt that the high-tech he just said must have caused an impact on this Indian underworld somewhere and hurt their chain of interests, so they couldn't get along with themselves like this.
The next day, Jiang Heyang asked his subordinates to investigate the Indian company again to see what was going on behind the scenes. A week later, Yuan Fuye came to Jiang Heyang's office, took a document in his hand and said: "Mr. Jiang, look at this, this is a summary of some information about the Indian company you asked them to investigate. This company did start as a smuggler, drug trafficker, and arms reseller, but now on the surface, they are mainly engaged in real estate, entertainment and other industries. I don't know if the original ones were transferred underground. “
"Did you find out who was behind them?"
"I'm not sure, their official profile shows a Saudi, a man named Awad, the emir. However, it is said that the real boss behind them is an Indian. It's not clear what it's called. ”
"Oh, Indian company, Indian boss, that's right." Jiang Heyang sneered: "You continue to find someone to investigate, I will go to the United States next week." You and Liu Wan are staring at this side of the matter, and you can call me for something particularly important. ”
Yuan Fuye agreed and withdrew from Jiang Heyang's office.
"The slanting sun returns to the twilight bell rises, and the morning dew falls on the flat ground of the morning sun. For a long time, the ancient sages have great ambitions and live up to the chic of their youth. 》
