Chapter 108: The Theory of Cake and the Theory of Fire

The female reporter from "Youth Daily" is called Sun Man, who looks like she is twenty-seven or eighteen, with short hair.

Before coming, the editor-in-chief told her that Mr. Xu should pay special attention to it, especially when it comes to Internet issues, dig more, dig deeper, and get first-hand reports in front of scientific and technological information newspapers and periodicals.

Sun Man understood after listening to it, this is to let himself do the work.

The venue was about to be in a café, Sun Man came half an hour early, took out a notebook to check the questions he wanted to interview, and a hotel of California song was playing in the café.

Half an hour later, a domineering tiger head stopped at the door of the coffee shop, Xu Xinian black windbreaker with a black suit, and a black scarf, really had the style of a black club.

As a reporter, as soon as he recognized his face, Sun Man immediately got up and greeted him, and stretched out his hand to Xu Xinian with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, hello, I'm a reporter from Youth Daily, Sun Man."

Xu Xinian bowed, "Reporter Sun, be natural, let's nag." ”

Sun Man was stunned for a moment, and Xu Xinian added.

"Nag, this is Northeast dialect, just chat casually."

This natural and easy-going attitude is very comfortable and can quickly shorten the conversation.

"Is Xu always from the Northeast?"

The two sat down on the seats, and Xu Xinian put his coat on the chair next to him.

"No, I'm a person who likes to run around the country, and I've been influenced by local dialects."

Sun Man thoughtfully, "Well-informed, no wonder Xu can always make such insightful remarks, it seems that this is really reading thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles." ”

"Reporter Sun's words are not right, reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, this is complementary to each other, it doesn't matter to others, but you are a youth newspaper, I have to say two words, now one is stimulated by the reform and opening up, the other is to cancel the package distribution in college, college students are not high, low is not enough, and the theory of useless reading is rampant for a while, but I still advise more young people to go to college and study in college."

Sun Man gestured to Xu Xinian for a moment of voice recorder, and then put it next to him.

"Why? Do you think that the cultivation of knowledge is important? ”

"That kind of statement is too much like rotten Confucianism, I can say that those legends of getting rich overnight have ended, if there is a cake, then this cake has basically been divided, and it is no longer an era when ordinary people can enter it and share a piece."

Sun Man quickly recorded with a pen, "Your statement of this cake is really vivid and interesting, but now there is such a saying, the United States on the other side of the ocean, the NASDAQ is creating a legend of wealth after another, isn't the Internet just a new cake on the table?" ”

Xu Xinian spread his hands, "So you see, the answer to this question has been derived, if you don't study hard, you don't even know what the Internet is." ”

Sun Man suddenly asked a very tricky question, "Mr. Xu, everyone knows that you are a shareholder of Luzhi, do you have the idea of dabbling in the Internet next?" ”

"Of course, I think that '98 and '99 were the golden stage for Huaxia Internet to grow."

Sun Man: "Now many people are actually full of suspicion about the Internet, they think that there is no profit at all, including the three major portals that are particularly famous, Sina, NetEase, and Sohu, all of which seem to be popular or not, I talked to Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu before, and when I asked him if he had a mature way to make money, Mr. Zhang smiled and said that time will give the answer. ”

"So have you found a way to make money on the Internet?"

Xu Xinianxin said that the way to make profits on the Internet should be divided, one is how Internet companies make profits, and the other is how Internet products make profits.

The difference is huge.

If someone is really stupid enough to merge the two into one, thinking that the Internet is just you sell something out and collect the money back.

If you do that, it won't work.

Let's talk about the profit method of Internet companies first, simple Chinese Internet people are not familiar with the set of capital financing venture capital that has been played rotten on the other side of the ocean.

Let's take Brother Xiao Ma as an example, starting from doing OICQ with his head covered, he basically did OICQ for a year by taking private jobs without anyone investing, and it was until the last quarter of 99 years.

In the end, he finally encountered the dilemma of the capital chain, and only then did someone give him an idea, telling him that there is something in the Internet, called venture capital.

Before that, the programmer didn't understand at all.

So now there are actually only a few people who have mastered the key and know-how.

And Xu Xinian can proudly say that now he is the only one who understands the true meaning and paints cakes.

So he decided to draw it here with Sun Man, "How does the Internet make money, I have a theory of fire, which is very simple. ”

The theory of fire machines, which had a profound impact on the Internet in later generations, was born!

"I said I had a friend, and one day he was walking down the street, and someone stuffed him with a lighter, saying that the spore skin surgery was free, free, and he thought that he would not do it in vain, so he went."

"People really did it for him, and it was really free, after the operation, the eldest brother pushed him into the house, and then his little nurse in the hospital, wearing a white translucent little gauze skirt, when he finished the operation, as soon as he entered the room, there was an immediate reaction, the line below all collapsed, and the little nurse sent him into the operating room, and the second operation was charged, and he was charged 12,000."

Sun Man struggled to control his laughter, and quickly recorded this theory of fire.

This theory of fire machine was widely circulated later, and Li Moumou, Ma Moumou, Ma Moumou of BAT, as well as Liu Moumou, Lei Moumou, Ding Moumou, and even later a certain Wei of the rice clam oil company, once said that he was inspired by the theory of fire engine.

The theory of fire machine is a wonderful expression of the free model and value-added services of the Internet.

There are thousands of books on the theory of fire machines, which is regarded as the first lesson that Internet business entrepreneurs must learn.

Luo Yonghao has publicly expressed his views on the theory of fire machines.

"If you understand the theory of relativity, you can declare that you understand modern physics, and if you understand the theory of fire, you can announce that you understand the Internet profit model."

It is no wonder that so many people are crazy about it, profitability is the most troublesome problem for Internet companies, and even for a long time, the Internet world in China is in a deadlock, a deadlock in which no one can make a profit.

This deadlock was broken by Zhang Chaoyang in 02, and Sohu made a profit.

When Jack Ma earned his first dollar, he was almost so excited that he couldn't even speak.

At the end of the interview, Sun Man quickly packed up his things and shook hands with Xu Xinian with a smile.

"It's funny, I've been interviewed here, I don't know your name yet, Mr. Xu, I believe everyone is also very curious."

"My name, Zhang Guobin!"

"Gah?"

"Just kidding, my name is Xu Xinian."
