"So in the future, we have to walk on two legs, enterprise users are one type, and individual human customers are another. Everyone still has some relationship with Yanjing in Pengcheng.

We have to make the enterprise QQ products first, and then find companies that have a good relationship with us to promote, sell the enterprise QQ to them, and after selling to them, there are a few cases, and we can promote it nationwide.

In addition, unlike SAP, which is an enterprise computer product, the essence of enterprise QQ is still instant messaging, which is a faster way than email transmission, so we will not be like SAP, each project needs project managers and developers to go deep into the enterprise, and a project is at least three months old.

Because SAP, an enterprise business management system, needs to be customized according to the actual needs of customers, and SAP staff need to have an in-depth understanding of the essence of enterprise business.

Therefore, their business model is relatively heavy, and there are nearly 1,000 people in Guanghua who are responsible for the implementation.

Enterprise QQ, we only need to grasp the common needs of enterprises for internal communication, develop all these functions, and then sell them at different prices. So we don't do custom development, we only sell products and deployments.

They provide the server environment, and our engineers can deploy them on-premises in a day.

In order to prevent other enterprises from cracking it, a lot of secrecy work is also done on the code.

Finally, the functions that Zhou Xin and I said about the enterprise QQ to achieve, such as punching in, building a group, and reading, including the refinement of fees to the point where the maximum number of people can be accommodated in the group, and how many groups can be built at most.

After listening to these, everyone thinks that Zhou Xin is too good, and it deserves its name, these functions are very suitable for the actual needs of enterprises, and we can find that his investment is the most correct choice to participate in the Internet Conference.

What I want to say is that these are Zhou Xin's thoughts, not your thoughts, nor mine.

We can't lie on Zhou Xin's thinking and eat, his thinking about the product is really powerful, almost instantly grasped the needs of users, and met the needs of users through functional design. In just a few words, if I were the manager of a large company, I would be interested in the enterprise instant messaging software he said.

His thinking can only help us open up the situation in the first year, and our advantage will remain for half a year at most. The sense of smell of Zhongguancun enterprises is very sensitive, Zhou Xin developed Quora in Silicon Valley, and in just one month, Huaguo has a target product.

The same is true for our enterprise QQ, once we achieve temporary success, there will soon be benchmark products to emerge and compete with us for the market.

So we need to have our own thinking, and you don't want to, every time we call Zhou Xin across the ocean, asking: Newman, what difficulties have we encountered recently, and do you have any good solutions here?

He's our investor, not our product manager, and what he said to Tencent is valuable enough. In my opinion, these are more valuable than those $2.2 million, and that's what can really keep Tencent alive.

We can't always rely on his thinking, we need to have our thinking, we need to be able to really touch the fundamental needs of enterprise users, and think about how instant messaging can meet their fundamental needs.

So everyone got moving as soon as possible. Zhidong, Ling and I are responsible for the product development of enterprise QQ, Li Qing is responsible for the demand and finds which large enterprises in the market have similar needs, and Chenye and Yidan are responsible for the development of QQ avatars. ”

After Zhou Xin and Pony Ma finished exchanging, Pony Ma returned to the hotel to hold this meeting at the turning point of Tencent's development. In the last three days of the Internet conference, Tencent's founding team went to the Internet conference to participate in exchanges and listen to lectures during the day, and wrote code in the hotel at night.

They were skeptical about whether the avatar could really make money, but this idea was put forward by Zhou Xin and the enterprise QQ together, and he was also called one of the two roads, and Zhou Xin's vision made them have to pay attention to it.

After pointing out another direction for Tencent, Zhou Xin continued to meet with other Chinese Internet entrepreneurs.

One of them, Yitang.com, left a deep impression on him.

The founder of Yitang was an MBA from Harvard, and then found another 4 MBAs from Harvard and 2 MBAs from the University of Chicago to found the company, and it got $50 million in financing just by virtue of the entrepreneurial plan.

As soon as he came up, he bragged with Zhou Xinda, what to provide life information and fashion culture information services for a new generation of consumers, and establish a corporate brand.

After establishing the corporate brand, Huaguo will make its own fashion consumer products and empower the products with the brand Yitang.

After listening to it, Zhou Xin knew that this road was feasible, at least from the perspective of capital operation. Vancl Eslite is a pioneer, if it does not make so many products, but focuses on clothing, it may not be able to make the form of Uniqlo.

Later, SHEIN was an advanced form of Vancl Eslite.

The reason why Zhou Xin did not choose to invest in Yitang was that Wu Shiqiang told him in advance that there was a problem with the company's founding team.

After receiving a huge investment, the founders' team lived in extreme luxury, and at the same time invested heavily in publicity, but they did not see the output for a long time.

It claims to be a fashion consumer product, but there is no substantial progress.

When Zhou Xin was chatting with the founder of Yitang, he only heard him say what the prospect was, and about the current situation, he only talked about the number of users, not about the revenue.

This made Zhou Xin speechless, instead of investing in Yitang, it is better to wait for Lei Jun's excellence network to be established next year, and then vote for his excellence network.

With his guidance, Excellence may not be acquired by Amazon.

In the end, after a few days of chatting, Zhou Xin invested about 50 million US dollars, and he basically invested in Internet companies that could survive the first decade of the 21st century.

In addition to Sina, Sina is purely a personal grudge, so much so that after the news came out, major Internet forums in China discussed it.

The investment community is also discussing, everyone is discussing, whether Sina exists, and they are not aware of the risks.

Zhou Xin's behavior directly led to Sina's investors talking to them about divestment.

Because of Zhou Xin's investment behavior in China, it can be seen that his threshold is obviously very low, and in the eyes of investors in multinational companies in China, giving back to the motherland is the main thing, and investing in the Internet is secondary.

Under such a low threshold, Sina did not get investment, which also cast a thick shadow on Sina's listing.

Huaguo Youth Daily: (Reporter Wang Yongzhi) On December 31, 1999, Yanjing time, the five-day Internet Conference came to an end in Beijing.

Representatives from more than 1,000 Internet companies from all over the world had a full exchange of views at this year's Internet Conference. The conference contributed to the signing of on-site cooperation intentions of more than 100 million US dollars, the on-site investment promotion area reached cooperation of more than 1 billion RMB, and the total transaction intentions exceeded 200 million US dollars.

Some economic commentators pointed out that after the NASDAQ crisis intensifies, Chinese Internet companies may usher in new development opportunities. Because compared with Americ Internet companies, the valuation of Chinese Internet companies is generally low, which is a value depression."

In the five days that China held the Internet conference, the decline of the Nasdaq index has not stopped at all.

In particular, after the Columbia District Court's verdict against Microsoft, Microsoft plummeted by 30 percent, bringing down the entire Internet company.

Bill Gates, who had planned to spend the entire Internet conference in China, hurried back to China the next day.

Others like Yang Zhiyuan and Gerard Wright didn't stay for five days, everyone's company market value was falling, and the board of directors was waiting for them to go back to a meeting to discuss how to stabilize the stock price.

Riot Games' stock price is also falling, and the decline is not small, it has fallen by 20 percent.

However, Zhou Xin is not in a hurry, he knows that after this round of bubble ends, a large number of Internet companies will go bankrupt, and the market value of a large number of Internet-related enterprises will fall to a very low price.

Riot Games is no exception, and this is an opportunity to reclaim some of its shares.

As well as acquiring some other companies, Zhou Xin can now think of things like Nvidia and ARM, which can be bought.

Like Intel, he can afford it but can't.

In this crisis, all companies related to information technology and the Internet cannot escape the fate of the collapse.

Therefore, Zhou Xin knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry at all, he never thought of monetizing the Riot Game.

When companies such as Amazon and eBay realize the importance of electronic payment, they will definitely try to build their own electronic payment software, and once they kick NewPay out, then Riot Games is likely to be the most important payment channel for NewPay.

Just for NewPay, Zhou Xin will not sell Riot Games, he will also buy back a large amount of money to maintain stronger control over Riot Games.

"Senior sister, long time no see." Zhou Xin wore a mask and asked the other party to eat at the Lanrun Hotel on the edge of Yanda.

When she received Zhou Xin's invitation, Li Jingyi couldn't believe it.

Because she met Zhou Xin at a lecture organized by New Oriental last year, and after getting the other party's email address from Zhou Xin, Li Jingyi wrote an email to Zhou Xin, wanting to ask Zhou Xin more specific details about studying abroad.

She left her contact information in the email and did not hear back.

Later, I watched Zhou Xin become more and more famous, more and more rich, and his development speed was faster than riding a rocket.

This name appears on the BBS forum of Yan University every day, and if I don't see it for a day, it seems that something is missing.

Originally, Li Jingyi just wanted to ask this junior some questions, and didn't have too many ideas. And being able to transfer to Berkeley only proves that Zhou Xin has a strong learning ability, and it doesn't prove anything else.

Even after Zhou Xin became famous, Li Jingyi never went to Zhou Xin again. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xin would call her to meet her on the first day after entering the 21st century.

Zhou Xinding's place is at the Lanrun Hotel on the edge of Yanda, and Cao Yongluo invited them to eat here before.

Zhou Xin felt that the environment was good, and it was close to Yanda, a ten-minute walk.

After Li Jingyi sat down and took off the scarf, she saw this face that she often saw in the news and on the Internet, and she looked a little restrained: "Senior brother, you don't mind if I call you like this, right?" ”

Zhou Xin took a closer look and found that the other party was even more beautiful than last year's rough meeting, and his appearance was high enough, and he belonged to the type that the more he looked at it, the better he looked.

However, as an old driver, Zhou Xin is very familiar: "Don't mind, I call you senior sister, doesn't this mean that I don't mind you calling me junior brother?"

Take a look at the menu, what do you order? ”

Li Jingyi said: "You just look at the dots." ”

After Zhou Xin casually selected a few signature dishes, he called the waiter to come over and order, and then said, "We haven't seen each other for more than a year." ”

"Yes." Li Jingyi didn't know what Zhou Xin was looking for her.

Zhou Xin said: "I know it's very presumptuous to call you out this time, to put it simply, it's like this, I need to have a girlfriend, whether it's in public or in private, I need to have a girlfriend."

Would you like to play this role? ”

Li Jingyi also guessed the purpose of this meeting before coming to see Zhou Xin, but she didn't expect the other party to be so direct, she subconsciously asked, "Why me?"

We seem to have only met once before? ”

She knows that all she can do is her appearance and academic qualifications, and for Zhou Xin, it doesn't matter what her family is.

Zhou Xin: "Because I think you are suitable, I don't want to go through political marriages, I don't want to look for them abroad, and I don't want to look for them from within the company."

During the time I returned to China, there were too many people who tried to introduce their daughters or relatives' daughters to me.

This will only happen more and more in the foreseeable future. There are many people who want to introduce their daughters to me not only in Japan but also abroad.

I want to avoid this from happening, I need to have a girlfriend in public. ”

The privacy of the private rooms is guaranteed.

I've seen a lot of things in China, except for the ones I mentioned above, the one I'm most familiar with is you, and we've chatted for a couple of sentences.

And I also asked someone to ask, you didn't have a boyfriend before and now, and you didn't have a boyfriend before, so to sum up, I think you're a good fit.

What do you think? ”

Li Jingyi hasn't reacted yet, for material people, being Zhou Xin's girlfriend is definitely pie in the sky.

But as a student at Yan University, or a student studying science, Li Jingyi is very calm, and she keeps herself calm while drinking water.

Because she knew that it was a decision that could change her fate.

For many people, choosing what job to do, choosing who to fall in love with to getting married, and choosing which city to go to can have a significant impact on life. But the moment they make a decision is actually unaware.

Now the choice given by Zhou Xin, as long as a person knows, promised to bring earth-shaking changes to his life.

"I don't know, the class gap between you and me is too big, and I don't have any channel to judge whether what you say is true or false." Li Jingyi said.

Zhou Xin replied: "These things are easy to verify, you will become my girlfriend in public."

I will go to Shenhai next, I will invest in a whole semiconductor industrial park in Shenhai, and at the same time, two semiconductor companies under my name will also land in Shenhai.

When I go to meet the leaders of Shenhai City, you will be present as my girlfriend.

To put it simply, in the future, if I need a female companion in public, it will be you, we are not an underground relationship, and you will also have to appear in front of the media.

As for how we started dating, it was when I gave a lecture at Yan University, I gave you my email address, and then we had a cross-border online dating for more than a year.

Finally, when we return to China to meet, I will introduce you to the outside world.

Reasonable, isn't it? ”

For a cold-blooded animal like Zhou Xin, he only needs to have a girlfriend to help him avoid a lot of trouble, and it doesn't matter who it is.

Of course, looks are still very important.

Zhou Xin continued: "Don't think it's a good thing to be my girlfriend.

As you just said, there is a huge difference between our classes, so in the process of getting along, you can't have your own little temper, you need to put my feelings first everywhere.

I also can't guarantee that you're the only one who is the one who is in public. ”

Now that the foundation is not deep, Zhou Xin does not dare to mess around.

In Lanrun's private room, before he came to dinner, he asked his security team in China to confirm in advance that there was no eavesdropping device.

"Of course, we will have a lot of time to get acquainted with each other, physical contact during the relationship, except for the intimate contact in public to cooperate with the outside world, I will fully respect your opinion."

"That's what you're going to give, and what you can get, I think it's something you've never seen before.

For example, from the establishment of enterprises to listing, the customs and customs of different parts of the world, the essence of the operation of governments at all levels, and the deception of the financial industry.

When you make this decision, your life will be very different from what it was before. ”

Zhou Xin said a lot, and Li Jingyi thought that more than a year ago, he was in the center of a large classroom in the teaching building of Yan University, and he also talked like this.

Facing the seniors in the audience, Zhou Xin seemed to be a teacher.

Li Jingyi said: "I know what you just said, this deal you proposed, I think it's a deal.

It was a sudden, and you said it was a decision that would change my life forever.

How can I get back to you so quickly? ”

Li Jingyi knew that she would accept it in the end, and once she missed this kind of opportunity, she would never have it again.

But she still hopes to know more about Zhou Xin and Zhou Xin outside the media.

If the other party leaves because of this, Li Jingyi loses this opportunity, and she feels that she will not regret it.

Because of the deal proposed by Zhou Xin, this option has never appeared in her planned life.

It's like you're playing an RPG game, and the NPCs in the RPG game come out and ask you if you want to enter the world and experience it.

Zhou Xin smiled after hearing this, and he also wanted to talk more with the other party.

For Zhou Xin, the choice of the object and personality are not important, because no matter what her true character is, she must accommodate him in the process of getting along with him.

But if you can get to know each other better, the other party's own personality is very good, which is of course better.

"Okay, I'll also briefly introduce myself, I've just said so much, I haven't introduced myself yet.

My name is Zhou Xin, a native of China, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in the field of integrated circuits at the University of California, Berkeley, under the supervision of Professor Hu Zhengming. Executive Director of CAAS and Executive Director of Committee of 100. ”

Yes, at the end of last year, the internal committee of the Committee of 100 gave Zhou Xin the position of executive director.

"The board member of the Internet Society of China, the honorary director of Yan University, there are too many titles, I have an impression of saying a few. This Internet Association was established because I want to hold an Internet conference in China.

In addition, I have set up several companies and invested in several companies, some of which I am still in charge of, some of which I have sold, and some of which are managed by others.

That's about it. ”

Without Zhou Xin, the Internet Society would not have been established until 2001.

After Zhou Xin finished speaking, Li Jingyi looked at the young man in front of him with a childish face, and it was really difficult to link him with the above titles.

Li Jingyi seemed to remember something, the corners of her mouth rose, and then she stretched out her hand to shake hands with Zhou Xin: "Let me also introduce myself, my name is Li Jingyi, a native of Yanjing, majoring in applied mathematics at Yan University, and a senior student."

You have too many titles for me to remember, so I'll just treat you as my junior. ”

After Zhou Xin shook hands with her, he also grinned, and being with a beautiful woman always makes people feel comfortable: "The more titles, the more tired you are."

When I was at my easiest, it was also when I was studying at Yan University, and I just needed to read well.

I'm still a student, but it's not enough to just read well. ”

"I just heard you say you're a senior, what are you going to do after you graduate?

If not, I'll give you another option. ”

Li Jingyi replied: "I have already contacted the University of Hong Kong, and after graduation, I will go to the University of Hong Kong to study for a master's degree." ”

Zhou Xin asked: "I remember when you asked me last year, didn't you want to go to Ameriken to study?" ”

Li Jingyi: "Originally, I planned to do so, but Ameriken's master's programs are very expensive, so I thought about it for a while and forget it, the universities in Xiangjiang are more cost-effective."

At the same time, I want to change my computer science major at the graduate level, and the computer science at HKU is still very good.

The only drawback is that it is not easy to find an internship on the Internet.

However, it should be similar to studying in the Bay Area in the past, but now that the Internet industry is in a recession, it is not easy to find an internship, let alone stay. ”

Zhou Xin: "Compared with Xiangjiang, no matter how good Silicon Valley is, there are still many more job opportunities.

But it's true that being close to the Bay Area means that prices, housing, and tuition aren't cheap.

The reason why I took over the job of New Oriental last year and came to give you a lecture was because I was going to Berkeley to study for a doctorate and was short of money.

I was so short of money that before I went to Berkeley, I only had a four-digit RMB all over my body, or a four-digit number starting with 1.

I can't even afford a standing ticket for Zhang Yanjing to fly to San Francisco. ”

After listening to this, Li Jingyi felt that Zhou Xin was very down-to-earth, and there was no arrogance at all: "It is really too difficult to save enough travel expenses by working for New Oriental."

Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin. ”

Zhou Xin shook his head: "No, Professor Hu bought the ticket for me, I don't have to pay for the journey, I help New Oriental work simply because I think it's best to have some money on hand." ”

The routine is starting to gradually pervert again

I got the boutique badge, do you think it's better to have a big chapter, or is it better to divide it into chapters?

If you think it's good to divide it into chapters, I'll split it into 3k-4k chapters tomorrow.

(End of chapter)
