Exploiting Strengths and Avoiding Weaknesses

In the past, even if it was embarrassing, the old Huang family could just hide away and get away with it. At that time, it was really famous all over the country. If only two hundred years ago, some good people had compiled a chapter novel similar to "A Dream of Red Mansions"

, it will not be a problem for his name to be passed down to future generations.

The old woman Xian, who had been raping her for most of her life, finally seemed tired of playing. She entrusted a large number of notes and manuscripts to her son Jin Shi, and went to travel by herself and visit famous mountains and ancient temples.

After Jin Shang graduated from the bachelor's degree and entered the master's program, Xian Guizhen hurried back to attend the teacher appreciation banquet and the college entrance banquet. After sending a box of Buddha, amulets, treasure gourds, yin and yang boards and other things that he brought back from nowhere, he also stuffed a lot of "

Pocket money" and left quickly.

Apart from occasionally reading a few essays by the old lady Xian in newspapers and magazines, Jin Shang had not seen her for almost three years.

Last time I heard Lao Jin mention it, he was hiking on the snowy plateau to cleanse his soul of impurities and understand the true meaning of the gods.

Even if Jin Shang went there, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the ravages of altitude sickness. Xian Guizhen is already quite old, but she doesn't know why she is in such good health and still feels energetic even though she runs around all day long.

Speaking of that strange woman, Nan Dabiao didn't know how to evaluate her for a moment.

The two talked about the preparations for the movie, and the sky turned dark before they knew it. They declined the invitation to have a drink with Nan Dabiao. Jin Shanghe said hello to Huang Yiyi, who was still sorting out paperwork, and asked her to get off work early.

, after closing the doors and windows, he drove back to the apartment near the school.

After calling Li Xuan and asking her to come over later, Jin Shang cooked a few side dishes himself, poured himself a glass of beer, and then heard the doorbell.

"Huh? You actually have so much free time today to cook for yourself?"

The girlfriend who was welcomed in saw a scene she hadn't seen in a long time.

I still remember that night. It was precisely because Jin Shang was cooking seriously and meticulously, with a serious look on his face that made Li Xuan feel the sincerity and charm of this little brother for the first time, and she was willing to be deceived by his sweet words.

Perhaps, cooking skills are not the key to bringing the two together, but it is indeed the last bit of cleverness that breaks their hearts.

"Actually, for me, cooking time is equivalent to relaxing..."

Jin Shang smiled and handed over the bowl filled with rice and chopsticks, and responded with a smile,

"My father and I live together, and there are always times when the housekeeper and nanny can't take care of us. Therefore, cooking is an essential life skill. It doesn't need to be good. When you are hungry and need it, you can cook something for yourself.

The dishes on the table still give me a sense of accomplishment.”

"I can't do it. I don't have that kind of experience at all."

Therefore, let alone cooking, the noodles under boiled eggs are quite choking. If there is no school cafeteria, Li Xuan can only survive by boiling water and making instant noodles.

Jin Shang already knew about this.

How can you expect a girl who had trouble combing her hair and braiding her hair before going to college to have a high level of housework? It's really too much to expect.

To this day, Li Xuan has short hair that is above her ears. Once it reaches shoulder length, she can’t help but keep it short. This is all a conditioned reflex caused by past experiences.

After the two had a delicious dinner with home-cooked food, they rested for a while, and after chatting a few private words about school, they sat across from each other leisurely, enjoying the wind and the moon on the balcony, chatting.

Jin Shang spoke candidly about how to arrange Li Xuan's arrangements during this period. Li Xuan, who thought for a while, took a big sip of the orange juice at hand, and then said slowly:

"Do you position your company in the future as an Internet technology company, and do you also need to take into account offline business?"

"Um!"

Jin Shang recognized the other party’s judgment,

"The Internet cannot survive alone. It must be supplemented by entities. Only by walking on two legs, online and offline, can it be stable. Now the focus is on online. It is not that offline is not important, but that resources are limited and capabilities are insufficient to take care of both.

We can only concentrate on developing in the asset-light Internet field. After we have an overwhelming advantage in the important field of instant messaging and form a de facto monopoly, we can make up for the lessons we have missed in the past. And..."

After a pause, Jin Shang decided to say a few more words,

"What do you think is the end of Internet companies?"

"Science fiction world, second life?"

"That's too far away."

Jin Shang couldn't help but sneered a few times and waved his hand,

"Essentially, what Internet companies do is just to move the offline business model online, without any essential changes. It can be a virtual shopping mall that collects rent online, a virtual bank that lends usury, a broker transaction without meeting, a group of

It is a dumping ground for public opinion where people vent their emotions by swearing.”

science and technology?

The so-called Internet technology does not produce any substantive products. It only presents things in reality or in human imagination in a digital way.

Only when artificial intelligence develops to the point where it can really liberate humans and improve productivity to a great extent will there be real output.

Of course, by that time, humans will also have to worry about whether they can conquer the virtual life they created.

“At the beginning, all walks of life may be confused by the manifestations of Internet technology. When it develops to a certain extent, the side effects will become clear to people. This thing will have the side effect of turning reality into fiction, severely hitting the real economy, just like...

"

Jin Shang raised his index finger, pointed at a telecommunications base station on a tall building not far away, and said leisurely:

"If my instant messaging software becomes popular and is not only convenient and easy to use, but also free of charge, will there be a lot fewer people calling and sending text messages?"

Li Xuan thought about it briefly and understood the reason.

"If it is really easy to use and affordable, then it must be good. It saves a lot of phone bills, which is great!"

"It's good for you, but what about the telecommunications department?"

"Eh?"

In essence, this is digging into the telecommunications bureau's roots. If no one makes calls or sends text messages, where can they make money?

Even if the future Internet fees and income from selling data traffic will far exceed the income from selling phone calls, it is still unreasonable to say so now in 1995.

From basic telecommunications companies, base station construction, electronic components, research institutes, and university tutorials, they all revolve around the existing system.

Everyone is living a good life, but if a private company suddenly appears and wants to destroy everyone's iron rice bowl, what will happen?

"You mean?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but stick out her playful little tongue, shrank her neck, and pointed to the sky.

"Is there any obstacle above?"

"That's for sure. The emergence of every new thing will definitely break the old pattern and redistribute benefits if it wants to survive for a long time."

Is there any risk of QQ being ordered to shut down in the previous life?

Yes, and it’s not small!

If it weren’t for the foreign Internet companies’ example and the domestic pressure, coupled with the difficulties in negotiating to join the WTO, it would be inappropriate to overly restrict the living space of small innovative companies. Given the social environment at the time (laid-off and re-employment),

How can a private company have the qualifications to compete with the country for profit?

Even if they are lucky enough to survive, telecommunications and mobile companies will also create similar software such as "Fetion" to compete.

If it were not for the rigid constitution and backward operating methods of state-owned enterprises that cannot adapt to the rapidly changing market, QQ would have been crushed into dregs like a mountain.

The same thing has happened to other Internet companies to a greater or lesser extent.

The development of online business models will inevitably snatch away some of the offline benefits. When the economy is in a stage of rapid development, the pie is getting bigger and bigger. Although the share of the pie is getting smaller, the volume is increasing, and the contradiction is not obvious yet.

Once the economic development speed slows down, it is certain that online and offline people will not like each other.

"Now I can not think about things that are too far away, but once my company develops and has a certain social influence, I will have to consider some competition outside of business."

Large taxpayers, providing a large number of jobs, high-tech enterprise recognition, charitable donations, social influence, public opinion guidance, etc., there must be one thing to make the competent authorities realize your value, so that when the company encounters extraordinary suppression,

Take action to protect you.

"This is what you men in the capital often think about. Are you thinking too much?"

"Be prepared for a rainy day and be prepared for any trouble!"

Jin Shangyun spoke calmly and did not overemphasize anything, he just explained his thoughts to Li Xuan.

For a long time, Internet companies were just gimmicks with little real output in sight. Their valuations were inflated and many of them died when the bubble burst.

Therefore, there must be tangible real industries to make everyone realize that Jin Shang is not a liar who brags all day long, and the company he runs is a serious one and will not run away.

The major Internet giants in the previous life gave the public completely different impressions. JD.com is a high-tech company with a sense of social responsibility; Alibaba is a second-rate dealer who eats sellers and buyers, sells fake goods and lends usury; Tencent started by plagiarism and promotion

Game companies that harm children through online games;

Why do the public have such a big difference in understanding of several large Internet companies that emerged at about the same time?

In the final analysis, JD.com has adhered to the strategy of simultaneous online and offline development since the beginning of its development, laying the solid foundation and becoming the company with the most positive public opinion, social response and official image.

It is easy to move from the real to the virtual, but it is much more difficult to turn from the virtual to the real.

"So, how do you want me to help you?"

The two chatted for a long time before Li Xuan asked seriously,

"There has to be a plan so that I can learn some necessary knowledge in advance and be prepared."

"local life!"
