Chapter 773
Gu Hongxing actually gave Jing Jian a difficult problem. The 200,000 yuan was much less, but it was actually not much more. Since it was a special funding for "overtaking on the curve", Jing Jian's first thought was to establish a platform for publicity and communication.
However, what kind of model should such a platform be? It is definitely not an investment model. With such a small amount of money and so many emerging industries, it can be said that it will not even make a wave. And let the CPPCC open innovative enterprises? Although there are no policy obstacles to encouraging the whole people to do business in this era, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit inappropriate?
Those can only be publicity models. If it were put in the present, Jing Jian might not have any worries at all. He did not hesitate to add two or five. No matter what he is doing, just build a website first?
However, at this time, the Chinese Internet industry was still in the exploration stage. At the end of last year, in November 1989, the Chinese Academy of Sciences took the lead in joining the Beijing University of Science and Technology, and Huaqing jointly implemented the Zhongguancun Regional Education and Scientific Research Demonstration Network (NCFC for short), which means that the first campus network had just been established. It was not until three years later, in 1993 that China's four major Internet backbone networks began to be built, and it was not until October 1997 that the interconnection of the four major backbone networks was realized.
In other words, it will take at least 1996 and 1997 that the idea of building a website will have the possibility of realization. This makes Jing Jian scratch his head. How should he promote it? Should he post small advertisements on the street?
Unexpectedly, the problem in Jing Jian's eyes was not a problem with Gu Hongxing: "Director Jing, can we run newspapers and magazines? Printing and distributing are all ready-made. It's just that advertising sponsorship is a bit difficult, but it shouldn't be difficult to balance income and expenditure."
"Yeah." Jing Jian nodded secretly. This was a good idea. It was the golden age of domestic print media. No matter how messy newspapers and magazines were, it was difficult not to make money. And we could lay a solid foundation, first use print media, and then gradually transform into online media, and build this publicity platform step by step.
"I'll solve the sponsorship problem. I'll give you a call later and ask them to give...50,000 start-up fee first." Jing Jian ordered, "It's better to run a magazine to track the latest foreign news and popular science communication..."
Jing Jian is not planning to publish a very professional magazine, but he must make good use of this platform to play a pioneer in trends.
The magazine will provide popular science introduction to the latest scientific information of six major international hot industries (introduced in the previous article, computer IT, biotechnology, aerospace technology, etc.), among which computer IT will account for nearly half of the content, and the others are basically embellishments. However, those embellishments are also very important, at least content like clones or outer space Star Wars should be of interest to readers, right?
As for the magazine's manuscripts, you can find American students to translate or invite domestic experts to special articles. Anyway, there are no copyright issues in this era, so it doesn't cost much.
As for future operations, it is even simpler. As long as the magazine makes its reputation, will foreign multinational companies care about a small amount of just a hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands? To give the simplest example, in the article introducing nuclear power plants, Westinghouse Electric will be willing to pay for 1 million? If cooperation with China's nuclear power plant project is successful, it will be a big business worth billions of dollars?
Of course, these things are still far away at the moment. But Jing Jian’s concept foundation also needs this platform. It is almost the end of the year, and the scientific research projects and investment projects for the next year have begun to be submitted for review. However, the influence of the concept foundation is still limited to a small circle. If there is a platform like a magazine, many things will definitely be much more convenient in the future. Therefore, Jing Jian did not say a word and prepared to ask the concept foundation to fund 50,000 first.
However, at this time, neither Jing Jian nor Wang Zhi, they all expected that this magazine, which had no name, would have a great influence in the future...
...
When he hung up the phone, Jing Jian felt that Gu Hongxing seemed to be full of energy, so he was about to roll up his sleeves and do something big. Jing Jian felt it was a bit funny. For him, this was nothing more than a casual man.
However, when thinking of Xianzi, Jing Jian remembered another Xianzi, as if... it seemed... there was no news about the biological company he invested in for a long time?
He thought of it and made a cup of coffee. Jing Jianke called Billy and asked with a smile: "Billy, I just want to ask, have the company's money burned out?"
"Hahaha." Billy laughed, "Bramble, what I like most is your generousness. I'm just about to find you, and the company's money has been used up."
Jing Jian almost spit out a mouthful of coffee. He was just kidding me? I didn’t expect it to come true. “Billy, how can money be used so quickly? What I care most about is when will the results come out?”
"Do you want to hear the truth or the lies?" Billy seemed to be in a good mood, and was still in a mood to joke with Jing Jian.
"Haha. Tell the truth! I have a first aid kit around me."
Amid the laughter, Billy introduced the latest situation to Jing Jian. Jing Jian didn't understand the specific biological content very much, and there was no need to understand it. He just understood Billy and his fellow research to the last step. However, the previous money burning was too ruthless, and the funds were almost unsustainable.
"I understand what you mean. I just need to continue investing money?" Jing Jian asked half a joke.
"It's true, at least ten million."
"Okay, okay." Jing Jian agreed with a smile, "This is the last ten million, and it is also my stop loss point. I know that you are going to bargain with me and you will definitely not need that much money. But I still want to be generous for the last time."
An investment like this can be said to be a gamble. Not to mention whether there is fraud on Billy, even if you are honest in scientific research, there are countless projects that die in the last level. Anyway, if you don’t need to doubt people, Jing Jian believes that they will be the last time. Moreover, this ten million is the stop loss point, and Jing Jian will never continue to bet heavily.
...
After arriving in Germany, it seems that a lot of things have happened. Fortunately, after attending today's dinner, I will leave tomorrow.
The banquet is located in the Hamburg Municipal Government Building, which is located in the Yangcheng District in the city center. The exterior style is Neo-Renaventurine style and is quite beautiful. Due to repeated bombings by the Allied forces during World War II, it is one of the few historical buildings in Hamburg City that are preserved and are also one of the attractions of Hamburg City.
