Chapter 129: Divide the cake
When the business seminar officially started at 2:30 in the afternoon, Ma Yun discovered that the reason why Du Qiu asked Jiang Danfeng to confirm whether he was willing to accept investment was because the seminar was actually a meeting to grab resources and divide cakes. With Haibo's current bleak strength, if he was unwilling to accept investment, there was no need to attend.
The product launch conferences in the Internet industry are full of publicity. Having a press conference does not mean that the product will be launched immediately. Du Qiu traveled too short. Even if he had the three major killers, "future computer", "future mobile phone" and "super brain", it would be difficult to get the operating system, database and eB server software within a few months. Therefore, at the morning press conference, he announced that this set of products is still under development, and the official version will not be launched until the end of the year. In order to let partners understand the characteristics of the product in advance, Snapdragon is willing to provide 20 free training places, with the training time of 3 months, which coincides with the official version's launch time.
The so-called layman watches the excitement, and the experts watch the tricks. The products released by Snapdragon are all available from server-side operating systems to client-side web design, which perfectly solves the pain points and difficulties of the current development of the domestic and even international Internet industry. It is a shocking strategic weapon. Whoever masters this set of products first will seize the market opportunity. In the days of the Internet Conference, Du Qiu showed his financial resources, ability and charm in all aspects. Everyone knows that he never hides his personalities and is willing to share knowledge. He also realizes that Snapdragon's future prospects are limitless. Therefore, whether it is to improve the technical strength of his own company or to establish good relationships with rising technology stars, these 20 training places are very important.
"Xiao Du, you can't give all of your 20 training places to commercial companies. At least you have to leave a few for our Computer Research Institute. Our Computer Research Institute is the first in China to study the Internet, and it only does scientific research. There is no commercial conflict of interest with Snapdragon. Everyone has complementary advantages and improves together, and the best of both worlds."
"Professor Qian, you have studied all national grants. If you want to study, you can come to Yuncheng by submitting a report from above. You can be reimbursed for tickets, food and accommodation, and even open a branch in Yuncheng. Don't compete with us for these training places. We private enterprises have no place to reimburse them."
"Mr. Du, I don't want to have more, only 5. I will give each employee 10,000 yuan of food and accommodation. Haha, I know that Mr. Du is not worthy of this little money, but it is just a little bit of intention. After all, employees come to Snapdragon training, and you can't be responsible for food and accommodation."
"Since that's the case, I also need 5 places. Each person will give him 10,000 yuan in food and accommodation every month, and a total of 150,000 yuan will be spent in three months!"
Fortunately, there were not many domestic Internet companies in 1995, and the promotion prospects of training employees related to Snapdragon's new products, after some bargaining, Yang Fan half-supported the quota to 30 people, and quickly solved the problem of training resources. Next, a group of people began to divide the cake, which was the city information port released the day before yesterday.
Urban Information Port is a concept that is both novel and gimmick. It can not only allow government officials to make achievements, but also involve various interests such as telecommunications investment, website construction, and software and hardware procurement. Just two days after its launch, it received consultation calls from more than a dozen local governments, and it is all good places with relatively developed economies. The Internet companies in China, which were originally confused and did not know how to make money, are now like sharks smelling bloody smell, ready to move.
"I think this is the case. The government is divided by region. China.com is relatively powerful in the north. Mr. Wang's Xunyejin.com is the boss of Guangdong and Guangxi. Sister Zhang in Qilu has been doing business for many years and has good connections. Yinghaiwei is responsible for it. As for Pujiang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, Snapdragon is responsible for it."
"In addition to the government, many large state-owned enterprises also need this information port, especially those who mainly engage in import and export trade. Now there are only a few domestic website companies. It is better for everyone to communicate first and make a gentleman agreement to avoid competing with each other and causing a harsh harmony."
"There are hundreds of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises across the country nowadays, and they are very large, so there is no need to subdivided them. I think they will rely on their own skills. Whoever gets them will be the one who gets them, but they must not break down each other and suppress prices. They have destroyed the rules of the entire industry for a little profit."
Du Qiu was not interested in this kind of sharing the spoils. After watching coldly for a while, he remembered the classic movie "Black Gold" starring Tony Leung and Andy Lau. He suddenly had the urge to cosplay, so he imitated Zhou Chaoxian's appearance and said with a smile: "I hope everyone can make money together, and jointly make the Yuanzai soup in the Internet industry, and share the government's money together. Our government is very rich, hahaha..."
"Black Gold" is a 1997 movie and has not been released yet. However, Du Qiu has good imitation ability. Cosplayed the tone and expression of Leung Ka-hui in the movie 70 to 80 points. His reputation is now rising and he is already recognized as a leader in the domestic Internet industry. His status in the world is not inferior to Zhou Chaoxian. Therefore, although these words are old-fashioned, they do not seem abrupt. Everyone was slightly stunned and reacted, and they laughed and responded: "Mr. Du is right. None of the cities or state-owned enterprises that can build information ports are poor now."
"Rubbing Yuanzai soup is a popular saying in southern Fujian, but I didn't expect Xiao Du to know it."
While talking and laughing, Yang Fan and Du Qiu exchanged glances. Seeing him nodding, they announced: "Snapdragon is a local Internet company in Yuncheng, so they have the responsibility and obligation to build an information port for Yuncheng Government. However, this is not Snapdragon's main business. We have no plans to expand to other cities or enterprises for the time being, so we will not participate in the business in Pujiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
Pujiang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are one of the most prosperous areas in China. When Snapdragon gently let go of this piece of fat, they were overjoyed, and then started a new round of cake-sharing discussions. Even Ma Yun, who had been in a state of worrying about gains and losses and had not spoken much, couldn't help but participate, wanting to get a quota for Hangzhou and surrounding areas.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Du Qiu found that Sun Shaobao, who was sitting opposite him, looked at his watch frequently, with an obvious impatient expression on his face. He knew that Liu Yunlai's brother-in-law was short-sighted and looked down on the small business that did websites for the local government. He was thinking about the plan to invest in VCD to make a lot of money. He was impatient to argue here, and his evaluation of him was reduced a little.
However, from the perspective of businessmen, such officials are better controlled and exerted better influence. Therefore, Du Qiu gave him face and gently tapped the table, interrupting the increasingly lively discussion in the conference room, saying: "About the information port, please find another time to communicate. Now let's discuss the preparations for next year's Internet Conference."
"Everyone knows that at first I just wanted to hold a CFido offline netizen gathering, but later it became bigger and bigger, and finally it became this Internet conference. However, it was nominally an Internet conference and essentially a Snapdragon product display, which was somewhat unworthy of the name."
"In the past two days, I have collected feedback from netizens, all of whom believe that the Internet conference should continue to be held. The so-called "a hundred flowers blooming is spring. If it continues next year, Snapdragon can no longer sing a solo show." Du Qiu said this, looking around the conference room, then raised his hand to point out Sun Shaobao, and said: "I propose that Director Sun of the Ministry of Electronics Industry will take the lead, join hands with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and related companies in the domestic Internet industry, domain name institutions, the name is China Internet Information Center, abbreviated as cnnic. In the future, this cnnic will be responsible for the Internet conference."
In the original time and space, a non-profit organization that was established only in the year to register and issue top-level domain names, but in fact, for a long time, it was neither a government department, nor a public institution, nor a private enterprise or charity organization. It was a gray organization entrusted under the name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and used public power to make money. It was both a referee and an athlete. It has done many things that ordinary netizens hate, such as occupying popular domain names, stealing hooligan plug-ins, etc., and even involved financial fraud, with a very poor reputation.
.cn is China's top-level Internet domain name. It was applied for and registered on behalf of China by Professor Qian Tianbai from the Computer Network Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1990. At that time, the Internet was not opened in China, and the server was placed in Germany. It was not transferred to China until May 1994. The domain name was so it was in a state of no interest and was not valued.
Professor Qian Tianbai also came to Yuncheng to attend the Internet conference. After Du Qiu communicated with him, he decided to make a time difference and use the gimmick of holding the Internet conference to tie the Ministry of Electronics Industry, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Telecom, Snapdragon and Yinghaiwei and jointly form CNnic, preparing to transform it into an official name, private operation, and a neutral organization with a guild nature to prepare for the future.
If Du Qiu had no interest in establishing cnnic at the beginning of time travel, and even had the intention to kill it, but now he has evolved from an ordinary netizen to a qualified businessman. In the eyes of merchants, right and wrong are not important, but interests are important. Although cnnic has various problems, it has a very important function. The management responsibility of domain names is a natural private and official communication channel, which can be used to influence domestic Internet industry policies. Before, Du Qiu had lacked such channels, so he had to use the news of Teresa Teng's death to exchange media resources with Liu Yun, and wrote articles to praise the Internet everywhere.
Unlike Western media, China and Western media can only blow the wind around and cannot really affect government decision-making. With the development of the Internet, the importance of cnnic is becoming increasingly prominent. At the beginning of its establishment, it was just an inconspicuous small institution, and even higher-level organizations could not be found. However, more than ten years later, it was one of the direct departments of a senior official institution managing the domestic Internet industry.
At this time, except for Du Qiu, no one knew the importance of cnnic to the development of the entire industry. It was a great thing for other companies to turn the Internet conference from Snapdragon's one-man show to participate in the whole industry. The participants had no reason to make the right statement, so they quickly passed the proposal unanimously.
Sun Shaobao took the plan that Du Qiu prepared for him in advance and talked step by step about the content of founding CNnic. Before everyone could start discussing, he said impatiently: "There are many things in the past two days, the weather is hot, and people are very tired. It is already past four o'clock now. I think I'll be here today. Take a copy of this plan back and check it out. If you have any questions, I will discuss it tomorrow. Du Qiu, what do you think?"
