Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 12 Wheat and bread

Although full of curiosity, Meng Qian was more cautious about how to unearth the historical truth. He thought about it for a while, considering that Zhang Shuxin had actually passed the “microphone” to himself, Meng Qian decided to simply Slowly clear these things through communication.

“There are two points of slightly different views between Mr. Zhang and I. First of all, our current enterprise is indeed constantly copying things from the West, but if we look at this thing objectively, we will find that, otherwise?

The development of the Internet The United States is ahead of the world. We want to develop the Internet and learn from others. In my opinion, this is a behavior that is right to stand on the shoulders of giants to develop ourselves.

In addition, regarding the Internet bubble, I quite agree with Mr. Zhang’s views. Maybe I don’t know the United States as well as Mr. Zhang. To be honest, I can’t judge more about this matter. The emergence of a bubble crisis may not only be a collateral effect for China, it is an opportunity instead.

As far as I know, the investors behind most of China’s emerging Internet companies are foreign investors, including Ali, which has just received investment.

The root cause of the Internet bubble is not the Internet itself. There is nothing wrong with the Internet. The reason for the bubble is capital. But now China Capital hasn’t realized how important the Internet is, so our local capital environment is surplus, which can support our capital self-sufficiency after the Western bubble.

Moreover, we can learn from the advantages of others, and we can also learn from the failures of others. Once the Internet bubble occurs, we will not be greatly affected because the popularity of the Internet is still small, but the United States will definitely suffer a huge disaster. .

At that time, China’s Internet companies must have their own reflections on seeing the situation in the United States. In the next few years, if our Internet foundation is better, we will not lose too much in this Internet bubble, but may learn from history and create a A more successful Internet market.

To be honest, I am really optimistic about our China Internet market because we have a population of more than one billion. ”

After hearing Meng Qian’s words, Zhang Shuxin smiled deeply, “Yes, this is an opportunity.”

Looking at Zhang Shuxin’s expression, Meng Qian inexplicably felt that Zhang Shuxin saw a deeper level, but this made people more curious. Why did she leave the Internet industry?

There is no reason.

Zhang Shuxin’s next words gave Meng Qian a possible answer, “Xiao Meng, you forgot what I said, return to the basics, the premise of the development of the Internet is the development of the Internet itself.

Do you know what I did the most during the years when I founded Yinghaiwei? ”

Meng Qian shook his head, and Zhang Shuxin continued, “It’s an explanation. I’m constantly explaining to the government and explaining to my colleagues. I’ve tried my best to tell them that the Internet is great, and that the Internet is more pros and cons. future.

But they don’t listen. They don’t believe me. Let me give you an example. Two years ago, I went to Lenovo and asked them to make a network card on the computer, but the reply I got was, why are you pretending to be that stuff?

Internet services have begun to develop, but everyone still maintains a conservative or even bad attitude toward the Internet. Do you understand how ridiculous and terrible this is? ”

Zhang Shuxin Speaking of this, Meng Qian subconsciously understood something, because in his memory, he often said two sentences when he saw Zhang Shuxin interpreted by the media of later generations. They were too far ahead and the money for selling bread was not enough for her to grow wheat.

Meng Qian asked subconsciously, “So you have been trying to build the foundation yourself? Do you want to promote the development of the network yourself?”

Zhang Shuxin nodded his head in affirmation, but his expression was helpless, “We lack the basic environment for the development of the Internet, but the problem is that this environment is firmly grasped by the government.

We didn’t have the opportunity to fight, but they couldn’t listen to our opinions, because the nurturing they received all the year round was prudent, conservative, doing less and making less mistakes…

I dare to make another bet with you. Now Yanjing has more than 100 companies doing e-commerce, half of which have relatively strong backgrounds, but they are likely to lose to Hangzhou that is looked down upon. Eyes of Ma Yun.

The people here are too conservative. The Internet belongs to creative people. Although I don’t like Ma Wan very much, at least Ma Wan has such creativity and imagination. These companies here lack this kind of thing. ”

Meng Qian reacted, “In other words, Mr. Zhang originally wanted to open a bakery. He wanted to make bread but found that there was no wheat, so he had to grow wheat by himself, but the problem was that the little money he earned from selling bread was not enough. To support you to grow wheat.”

Zhang Shuxin showed a somewhat surprised expression. She seemed to be scribbling Meng Qian’s words, “Interesting, I didn’t expect Xiao Meng to have a high literary accomplishment.”

Meng Qian smiled. He couldn’t answer this. After all, this was said by the media of later generations, not by him. He continued at his own pace and asked, “Mr. Zhang, regardless of whether you will have this obsession. It means hitting the south wall a little, why don’t you consider selling the bread a little bit more expensive? That way, you can make up for the shortfall in growing wheat?”

“If you sell it too expensive, you have to sell it. You can buy a newspaper and read the news for only 50 cents. If you read the news online, I will charge you 50 yuan. Can’t you read it?

What’s more, this is not what I envision the future of the Internet. ”

“What is the future of the Internet in Mr. Zhang’s eyes?” Meng Qian looked at each other sincerely, he really wanted to know.

Zhang Shuxin didn’t know if he was hesitating. He waited a few seconds before answering, “Hundreds of millions of netizens can harvest and even cultivate plants on the Internet, and they only need to pay a small amount of Internet fees or service fees within their power.”

Meng Qian’s heart moved, his eyes shifted slightly, and his thoughts changed. Zhang Shuxin’s words were like helping Meng Qian to straighten out the chaos in his heart. He felt as if he understood the cause and effect of all this. .

Zhang Shuxin is indeed a very far-sighted person. He has seen the Internet very far, and he has also seen a flourishing Internet future, but in her perception, she seems to package the Internet and services as a whole, and users only You need to pay a fee to use the network and services.

From Zhang Shuxin’s previous expressions, it can be seen that in her eyes, the key to this packaged item lies in the service, but this service, that is, the profit of bread is not high, bread is bread, and it will be sold if it is dead. money.

However, Zhang Shuxin completely underestimated the creative ability of Huaxia Merchants. If she really thinks like this now, I am afraid that Zhang Shuxin will be able to make so much money by selling QQ shows and various diamonds when she sees QQ in later generations, which should subvert her belief. Know it.

If Zhang Shuxin really has such an idea, she should still want to be a service provider in essence, but seeing the slow development of China Network, UU read www.uukanshu. com felt that it would not be a problem to go on like this, so she started to do it herself.

But as she said, the Internet is not like the West, and it is difficult for China to give it to private companies, and later generations will prove that it is true.

And in Meng Qian’s view, this is normal, because the Internet is a two-sided thing. Once it is used improperly, the Internet is a “killing weapon”, and the Huaxia government will not let this kind of “killing weapon” be left unchecked.

At this point, Meng Qian didn’t know if Zhang Shuxin understood it.

With this kind of thinking, Zhang Shuxin will naturally face constant debts and constant losses. In front of capital, she will naturally be kicked out. As a major shareholder of Xingfa, his stake is to make money, not to accompany Zhang Shuxin to realize his dream of building the Internet. of.

If Meng Qian’s guess is correct, the merits and demerits on this issue may not be as one-sided as later generations say.

But no matter what, Meng Qian who had this kind of speculation felt that Zhang Shuxin was a pity, because she was really one of the very few people in this era who could see the Internet so far, and she did not expect that Internet services could have such a powerful earning power. , Perhaps because of her “literary spirit.”

In fact, many people have mentioned this problem. Zhang Shuxin is not suitable for a business because she is too emotional. As the boss of a new business, she has been traveling abroad, and what she loves most is not to manage the business, but to follow Poet friends drink tea and make poems.

Emotional people may indeed lack a little bit of “creativeness” in business.

Of course, all of this is only Meng Qian’s guess, but at last there is a certain basis. Meng Qian believes that somehow she is closer to Zhang Shuxin than he knew about Zhang Shuxin in the past, and Zhang Shuxin really took the initiative to say a lot, Meng Qian knows It’s time to put dry goods by myself…
