1991 Starting from the core

Looking at the three people at the door, Pony was slightly stunned.

Of these three people, he only knew one of them - Xiao Shouping, a big boss from Yuanxin and currently the technical chief of the VCD Division.

The person standing with Xiao Shouping had a messy hair and looked like he hadn't woken up.

Standing in front of these two people was a young man who was a little too young. The young man looked at him with amusement.

Pony immediately thought of a possibility - according to legend, Su Yuanshan was so young!

"It's okay, you continue."

Su Yuanshan glanced at the blackboard and said with a smile: "Let's listen in."

Pony looked at Xiao Shouping as if asking for help.

Xiao Shouping winked at him, but did not let him continue to be embarrassed, and introduced: "Pony, this is Mr. Shan and Mr. Li Mingliu."

"Ah...welcome Mr. Shan, welcome Mr. Li, and welcome Mr. Xiao to inspect the work."

Pony strode forward. At this moment, he was a little confused, but he did not forget to remind the employees below, "Everyone applaud!"

The conference room immediately burst into applause.

Xiao Shouping has been here before and everyone already knows him, so I won't introduce him anymore. But it was the first time for the two big guys, Su Yuanshan and Li Mingliu, to come here, so a group of people came up to shake hands - some people said afterwards that the immortality of the two big guys was really useful, and the code on that day was a BUG. nothing.

When everyone returned to their seats, Ding Lei, who was next door, also heard the news and quickly came with his deputy. Unexpectedly, Su Yuanshan pulled him to sit next to him and asked them to attend the product meeting together.

This time, Pony was a little embarrassed.

Standing in front of the blackboard again, Pony coughed, adjusted his glasses again, tried not to look at Su Yuanshan and others, then pointed at the blackboard and said: "Since the bosses are interested, let's continue to discuss these two options."

However, after he waited for a few seconds, no one was there to support him. Several guys who usually talked a lot and always made excuses also kept their mouths shut and didn't say a word.

Pony knew these guys were intimidated by the big guys.

But after all, he himself was a little nervous.

Especially... Li Mingliu ran over, which he didn't expect at all.

When Ding Lei came over with Mr. Shan's mission to build this Internet research center with him, Ding Lei, as a "big brother", talked to him about the glorious deeds of several outstanding people at the Yuanxin headquarters.

In Yuanxin, besides Su and Xi, Li Mingliu is the most awesome and has the most temper - who dares to disapprove of a boss who dares to compete with an old engineer from the Chinese Academy of Sciences?

However, just because the younger brothers are ineffective doesn't mean that Pony is giving up.

Pony coughed and smiled: "Then let me say a few words first. In addition to the expectation of profitability, joining the pager docking system can also accurately locate our target group. Why? Because the current market for BP machines It remains to be discovered. To put it bluntly, people with BP machines are richer and more fashionable, which coincides with Internet users."

As he said this, Pony wrote the word "target group" under the word "paging".

After a pause, Pony continued: "In addition, according to the news from Mr. Wang of the Communication Equipment Division a few days ago, the domestic GSM network will be installed on a large scale before New Year's Day, and several networks will be completed before the Spring Festival. Networking work in key cities. This means that GSM networks will also be a development trend in the future... and GSM mobile phones can receive text messages called text messages. This can also be the direction of future development..."

"As for the offline messaging function..." Pony coughed again and glanced at Ding Lei.

Ding Lei looked at him expressionlessly.

"I rather believe that offline information will definitely be the direction of future communication software development."

After finishing speaking, Pony erased the word Email, wrote the words "offline information", and then wrote two words below.

"future".

When he turned around, he saw that Su Yuanshan had begun to smile and applaud.

Pony let out a small breath.

…

…

Ding Lei led Su Yuanshan and others to the rest area.

Having worked at Yuanxin, he followed suit when he came to the Special Zone and provided a rest area for programmers to have afternoon tea and take a nap.

The rest area is elegantly decorated, and there is even an unattended bar. Of course, there is no alcohol in the bar. Most of the bar is filled with everyone's lunch boxes. In addition, there is a coffee machine and a water dispenser that has only recently entered the country.

"You have a nice place." Su Yuanshan praised as he walked.

Then the five people sat down around a round glass table, and soon the girl at the front desk came over to serve them coffee - instant coffee.

"Learned it from the headquarters." Ding Lei said with a smile.

Su Yuanshan nodded, looked at Pony beside him and said, "Brother Pony, you summarized it very well just now. But there is a problem..."

Pony immediately sat up straight and asked seriously: "What's the problem?"

"The question is how to charge for the paging function. As the founder of EM, you should have thought that EM, as a communication software, is difficult to charge according to the existing model. After all, there are various free forums."

Pony nodded: "Yes, that's why I plan to explore the profit model by relying on the paging station and future SMS system."

"Yeah, but you haven't considered that if you cooperate with the Post and Telecommunications Bureau - how can you let users pay through EM?"

Su Yuanshan spread his hands as he spoke: "In a word, I used EM to send the paging message. Who should I pay? How to pay? And how much should I pay?

You know, local calls have become cheaper now. As the country launches a series of golden projects, there will only be more and more public phones in the future, and local calls will only become cheaper. "

Pony opened his mouth, but he really hadn't thought about this specific question.

After all, he is engaged in technology and sees the direction of technology, so he doesn't care about it and just fights it first.

"Not to mention that the current Internet speed is extremely slow, it is still expensive..." Su Yuanshan smiled: "The idea is good, but it is too ahead of the times. And... it can be released slowly as a function expansion."

Pony was silent for a few seconds, then glanced at Ding Lei and asked tentatively: "So we're going to do offline messaging first?"

"Well, let's do offline news first, and go to countries like the West and Ni Country where the Internet is relatively developed and the computer penetration rate is high. As for profit and so on... we can ignore this for now. Let's occupy the foreigner's computer desktop first."

Su Yuanshan paused: "Occupy the desktop, have users, and then consider the profit model. This is one of the signs of the Internet era."

If we take China as an example, the Internet is divided into three stages.

The first stage is from 1995 to the era before the Internet bubble burst in 2000, the second stage is from 2001 to about 2010, and the third stage is after 2010.

The first stage is called the barbaric era. Massive amounts of capital went crazy and poured money into Internet companies, especially portals. As long as one could be built, it meant getting a ticket to Nasdaq.

However, with the greed of capital, the collapse of Nasdaq, the semiconductor winter, and the shocking collision in 2001... a large number of Internet companies were frozen to death.

Pony originally planned to sell Oicq for 600,000 yuan - but people still didn't buy it.

The reason why the first stage collapsed was that Internet companies at that time failed to find a profitable direction.

In other words, we have found a direction - for example, advertising business is the most intuitive - but the advertising market does not accept it, and the number of netizens is still too small.

Then the second stage is to try various profit model directions, various games and videos are emerging, and the concept of WEB2.0 is also emerging. Various blogs have appeared on the stage, and advertising has also begun to recognize the Internet. It can be regarded as entering a period of positive development.

In the third stage, as the speed of mobile communication networks accelerates, wireless Internet begins to sweep the world... Mobile games, live broadcasts, social apps, short videos, and information islands begin to take shape. (More on this later)

But no matter which stage it is, users are the most important and can be called the cornerstone.

…

After spending a day in the Internet Center, Su Yuanshan and Li Mingliu went to inspect the newly built mobile phone production base the next day, and finally arranged their trip to the design center of the motherboard factory.

Since listening to the advice of Su Yuanshan and his sister and moving the design center to the special zone, Chen Daohua feels that he has become much luckier.

In the past ten months, Chen Daohua has witnessed with his own eyes how Meijie motherboard has been reborn from the "building is about to collapse".

Chen Daohua also deeply realized how powerful this guy Su Yuanshan was - it has been ten months since he designed the diagnostic function, and his peers have not yet been able to bypass the patent and develop the same function.

Colleagues can only promote that with a diagnostic card, there is no need for the motherboard to have its own fault code display.

But those colleagues forgot that the diagnostic card was also designed by Su Yuanshan and Mei Jie.

Moreover, Chen Daohua also experienced what is called the positive feedback of technology snowball. In the past half year, Meijie increased its investment and continued to recruit employees at home and on the island for research and development. Various technologies related to safety, power saving, and overclocking have also been introduced. developed.

Today, Meijie has become a leader in the DIY market and has also consolidated its OEM relationships with major complete machine manufacturers.

"Mr. Xiao Su, please come. Mr. Li, please come."

Chen Daohua enthusiastically invited Su Yuanshan and Li Mingliu into his office. The secretary brought tea and closed the door at the same time.

Su Yuanshan opened his briefcase and found a package of things wrapped tightly in a plastic bag and handed it to Chen Daohua: "Mr. Chen, this is the tea that Sister Jing asked me to bring you. It is a specialty of the mountains."

"Oh? She's interested." Chen Daohua opened the tea leaves, smelled them, and wrapped them carefully. He smiled and said, "She didn't cause any trouble to Yuan Xin, did she?"

Hearing what was basically a casual greeting, Su Yuanshan and Li Mingliu became happy at the same time.

Chen Daohua immediately realized that what he said was too exaggerated, and he waved his hands and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Oh, it goes smoothly, it goes smoothly..."

Isn't that right? His sister is now a CEO who is so busy that she can't keep her feet on the ground all day long. She doesn't even bother to put pen to paper if the contract is not over 100 million yuan. In his words, she is like a small employee who entered a big company through connections.

After Chen Daohua smiled, he immediately said: "Mr. Su, let's go into the factory after a short rest."

"good."

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded.

Li Mingliu looked at him a little doubtfully.

"Mr. Chen and the others have completed the design of the 3D accelerator card. Scott Schillers had to ask Senior Brother Xi to come over and witness it, but Senior Brother Xi was not available, so I had to come over." Su Yuanshan explained to Li Mingliu: "This is The first 3D accelerator card used in personal computers in history, it is destined to be great - so Lao Li, I brought you here to witness it, and you have to thank me."

Li Mingliu: "..."
