Rebirth starts with small money

Regarding the fate of hao123, Chen Li is undoubtedly the one who knows best.

After hao123 was acquired by Qiandu in the previous life, although it caused a lot of repercussions at the time, it even made a lot of contribution to Qiandu's subsequent listing.

But in fact, shortly after ~hao123 was acquired, almost all Internet sites of the type of website navigation represented by it suffered extremely obvious industry blows.

With the development of the Internet, the role of this type of website navigation becomes smaller and smaller as Chinese searches become more and more common.

Later, even netizens who can be called newbies can easily find what they want to search for on the Internet just by typing out the corresponding search content in pinyin, or even simply using pinyin.

And at that time, the so-called website navigation will naturally come to the end of its own industry.

Anyway, in the previous life, even 20 years later, even Chen Li's mother would not use the so-called website navigation.

Although Ms. Wang doesn't know much about using a computer to surf the Internet, she is smarter than Chen Li in using smartphones, and often recommends Chen Li some health-care public accounts that I don't know where to find.

Of course, it may be a long time to say that 20 years later, but basically after 05 and 06, Qiandu almost occupied the vast majority of the domestic search market.

At that time, it didn't mean that no one used these URLs to navigate, but only a small number of people used them.

At that time, there was a popular saying on the Internet, "Ask Google if you are undecided about foreign affairs, ask Qiandu if you are undecided about internal affairs"!
As for the extremely popular website navigation websites in the early stage, almost none of them made any waves.

If Chen Li wants to continue to develop hao123, unless he increases investment, let hao123 change from a single website navigation to a later search site.

This is actually not impossible~ Even Chen Li has thought about this.

But in the end~ Chen Li gave up on this idea.

No way~ A person's energy is too limited, and he himself is not very proficient in Internet technology.

So for getting involved in the Internet industry ~ Chen Li finally decided to focus on investment.

Maybe in a few years, after he has enough capital, he will start a technology company, but it doesn't necessarily have to be based on Internet technology.

Chen ideally wants a technology company that can transfer the black technology products in that system to reality.

However, this goal has only been shelved for the time being.

After all~ those technology products in the system want to be exchanged by him, but need a large amount of mall currency.

However, after Chen Li asked Xiaomeng, the system elf, the fastest way to obtain the currency of the mall was the traditional industry.

Whether it is manufacturing~ or farming or even other traditional industries, the efficiency of obtaining mall currency is far faster than that of the Internet.

Just like every time a chicken is raised in a chicken farm, Chen Li can get a piece of mall currency from the system.

Although the mall currency given by a single product is very small, when the quantity increases, the efficiency of obtaining mall currency will naturally increase.

On the other hand, those technological products, such as the "Year 350 Bug Vulnerability Ultimate Patch" and "[-] Security Guards" that Chen Li exchanged before, no matter how much money these things sold in the end, or how many copies were sold, Chen Li's mall currency had no money. Increase.

There is a faint guess in Chen Li's heart. It seems that the system is deliberately set up like this. As for the reason~ Chen Li has a little guess, but he is not sure.

So ~ Chen Li has not entered the Internet and technology industry for the time being, but this is not a big problem. After all, it is not a matter of overnight if Huaxia's private technology wants to develop.

Make a foundation for yourself first~ lay a good foundation, and then slowly plan in the future. This is also a correct path.

Of course~ there is another reason, and that is the appearance of Qiandu.

Yes~ Although Chen Li doesn't know when Qiandu appeared in his previous life, Qiandu has already appeared now.

And the other party's office is just below the floor where Red Pony Technology is located.

Even Mr. Li, who has a thousand degrees, went to Red Pony Technology to visit under the guise of learning.

However, this is not surprising, because among domestic Internet companies these days~aside from the three major portal websites, the most famous one is probably Red Pony Technology.

Mr. Li first went to Wangnan for a visit, and then went to Red Pony Technology through Ding Sanshi's relationship.

And the reason why these two companies agreed to Mr. Li's study and visit. In fact, there is a very ridiculous reason.

They all want to recruit that Mr. Li!
Many people's impression of Mr. Li is probably the later CEO of Qiandu.

If you know a little bit, you probably know that this guy was admitted to Yanda as the No. [-] scholar in his hometown city, and then went abroad to study in the United States~ and what he studied was in computer-related fields!
It was also his study abroad this time that gave birth to Qiandu later.

However, few people know that Mr. Li has actually held several jobs after graduation.

Mr. Li~ first worked as an intern at Panasonic, and then got a letter of appointment from Dow Jones. If there are people who don’t know much about Dow Jones, then many people probably have heard of the famous "Wall Street Journal".

This newspaper, which ranks second in circulation in the United States, can almost be said to be one of the standard items for those elites in the financial and business fields.

At that time, Mr. Li first served as a senior consultant of Dow Jones, and then became one of the designers of the real-time financial information system of the online version of the "Wall Street Journal".

But~ Although these resumes seem luxurious, they are actually not very meaningful to the current Wangnan and the red pony.

What makes these two Internet companies value is the job that Mr. Li has after leaving Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal.

Infoseek, also known as Soxin Company.

Of course~ this company is relatively unfamiliar to most people.

But when this company started to be a search engine, the two Googlers were still playing with mud!

Well~ It must be an exaggeration to say so, but this Infoseek launched its own search service in 94, and the later famous Google was established in 98.

And Mr. Li from Qiandu worked for this Infoseek company before returning to China.

Even ~ Mr. Li is one of the core engineers of this Infoseek.

It is precisely because of the previous accumulation in Infoseek that Mr. Li founded one of the later famous Internet giants after returning to China for inspection.
Thousand degrees!

The reason why Chen Li knew so well was that the source of the news could not be his memory, but Ma Xiaoyun.

Ma Xiaoyun attached great importance to the work experience of Mr. Li, who was not Mr. Li at the time, and he wanted to invite him to work at Red Pony Technology.

Not to mention Wangnan, perhaps because of the influence of the butterfly Chen Li, Wangnan is now very concerned about the field of "search", and this Mr. Li is simply the technical talent that Ding Sanshi dreams of.

It's just that it's a pity that the ideas of these two companies have come to nothing.

The reason is very simple. Before Mr. Li returned to China from abroad, he had already received a venture capital investment.

To put it bluntly~ people have investigated it a long time ago, the purpose of returning to China this time~ is to start a company.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for them to go to work for some Wangnan and Red Pony. Isn't he good to be the boss?

So shortly after visiting Red Pony Technology, Mr. Li started his own company directly, and the name was exactly the "Qiandu" in Chen Li's memory.

What's more funny is that at the beginning of Qiandu's business in the previous life, it is said that Mr. Li directly rented two rooms in a hotel under the name of Yan University for a long time.

But now~ This newly established company has directly settled in a certain building in Zhongguancun, and the change between them was actually led by Ma Xiaoyun.

The reason why Ma Xiaoyun did this made Chen Li a little dumbfounded.

"This guy~ has some skills."

"Let's bring him closer ~ this way we can better understand the situation of their company."

"When they encounter any difficulties in the future. Hehe~ Let's buy him!"

Good guy~ Chen Li really called him good guy at that time!This old horse's abacus beads~ it's crackling!

At that time, Chen Li wanted to refute Ma Xiaoyun. After all, he is a thousand-degree man. They are the three Internet giants later, so there is no possibility that he will be incorporated by his old horse.

But Chen Li didn't say what he refuted at that time. But he suddenly thought of the current CEO of Red Pony Technology Zhou.

That week Hongyi became the technical director and chief engineer of Red Pony Technology, so it seems that it is not impossible for Red Pony Technology to incorporate Qiandu and Mr. Li?
In particular, Chen Li also knew that Qiandu had encountered difficulties before he succeeded!

The 3721 dispute between Mr. Li from Qiandu in his previous life and Zhou Hongyi was quite the turmoil.

Even at that time, if Zhou Hongyi hadn't been too quick at the time, Mr. Li of Qiandu might have sold Qiandu to Yahu.

If this is the case~ then Zhou Hongyi should have a place in the past and later Internet Big Three.

Well, of course, these speculations are all nonsense.After all, this is all about putting aside the facts and not talking about speculation, so there is no specific meaning at all.

But the predicaments that Qiandu encountered were all real.

If Qiandu still encounters such a predicament now, then it is not impossible for Red Pony Technology to recruit the other party!
Of course ~ these are some predictions made by Chen Li from a position almost standing in the "God's perspective".

As for what the future will look like, Chen Li is hard to say!
But no matter what, Chen Li didn't really want to be an opponent with that smart guy like Mr. Li.

Just as Chen Li was unwilling to compete with Ma Xiaoyun and Ma Xiaoteng, Chen Li was also unwilling to compete with this President Li in the future.

After all, no matter what kind of troubles Qiandu encountered in his previous life, he did succeed in the end.

Instead of fighting to the death with those successful people in his previous life, Chen Li might as well give up this idea, choose another industry directly, and... look for opportunities to see if he can make friends with them.

If you can find an opportunity to invest a sum, it would be perfect.

For example, at the right time, sell hao123 to the other party at a "good" price.

However, Chen Li would definitely not choose to ask for cash, what he wanted was of course...shares!

Of course~ it’s still too early to say these things, but Chen Li has already started to prepare for the future transformation of hao123.

To be precise, it should not be said to be transformation, but to open up new businesses.

But this time, after some consideration, Chen Li finally chose the new target of hao123 studio.
Review network!
I believe that when seeing these three words, the first thing that pops into many people's minds is the Dianping.com that later merged with a group buying website.

That's right~ Chen Li's idea also came from that Dianping website.

The so-called Dianping.com should actually be called an independent third-party consumer review website.

This website can not only provide users with business information, consumer reviews and other information services, but also provide transaction services such as group buying, restaurant reservations, takeaway and electronic membership cards.

Of course~ it's only [-] now, and many of the services provided by Dianping.com in previous lives are basically impossible to realize in these years.

However, it is still possible to provide users with business information, consumer reviews and even consumer discounts.

When Chen Li told Song Xiaolan about his idea, this senior student majoring in computer science at the University of Science and Technology who hadn't even graduated this year was already shocked by Chen Li's idea.

"Boss, how did your brain grow?"

Obviously, Song Xiaolan recognized Chen Li's idea very much, and expressed shock at Chen Li's thinking.

If it is someone else, they may not necessarily understand the benefits that Chen Li's proposal will bring, but...as the station master of hao123, Song Xiaolan is very clear about the concept.

Since the official commercialization of hao123, Song Xiaolan's most distressing thing is probably to find a website that is both suitable and willing to cooperate with hao123.

But in 123, the domestic Internet industry had just started, so although there were not few websites that met these conditions, there were not many who were willing to spend real money to cooperate with hao[-].

But this is due to the impact of the overall environment of the entire domestic Internet industry, after all, it started late!
But if you replace these websites with other traditional businesses, such as catering~hotels, etc.

Then this market. Compared with the Internet environment in [-], it is much bigger!

Especially after Chen Li and Song Xiaolan exchanged about the mutual benefit of the website itself and the merchants, and provided free services for users, Song Xiaolan couldn't help feeling admiration for Chen Li, a boy who was three years younger than her. .

No wonder Chen Li has already become a big boss at such a young age. With his brain, ordinary people like you really can't think of these ideas.

"Hey~ What's your brain? I actually got inspiration from others."

"You know about Michelin, right? At least you should have heard of it, right?"

"Not selling tires. How can I tell you?"

Chen Li was a little speechless. He ignored that in [-], ordinary people didn't know as much about the so-called Michelin restaurants as they did later.

However, Michelin tires, because they were advertised on TV, so many people have some impressions.

"This Michelin not only sells tires, they also run a magazine."

"This magazine will select some delicious restaurants and score these restaurants according to the selection criteria."

"My inspiration comes from here, and I plan to move this magazine to the website."

"Of course ~ our website itself does not rate these merchants."

"The right to score merchants. We want to give it to those users who have made purchases at merchants."

"And ~ we are not only targeting restaurants, but also other stores ~ supermarkets, etc., can be reviewed."

"so.!"

Chen Li stayed in this office for a whole morning, and in the end he finally let Song Xiaolan fully understand the Dianping website he wanted.

"Boss~ I understand what you mean."

"However. This matter is not a small matter! Such a big matter, you leave it to me. Me."

After hearing what Chen Li was going to give her, Song Xiaolan suddenly retreated.

God knows~ She is a senior who hasn't graduated yet!Those of her classmates are basically still working as interns doing odd jobs of serving tea and water.

But now Chen Li wants her to preside over the research and development of such a website, she really feels a little bit.
Panic!
