Chapter 1175: Look at the rice

The Israeli company that initially developed the ICQ network communication software, acquired it for American Online (AOL) in 1998.

"Okay, just go and have a look." Seeing that it was still early, Zhang Ke did not waste time in 1978, and took a bus to follow Du Fei and the others to the software laboratory of Dongda Chuangyu. The competition in the consumer electronics industry and the differences in hardware technology will gradually narrow, and will eventually evolve into a situation where content is king. Kumho is inherently difficult to overcome in the European and American markets in terms of developing content, and also has the advantage of leading overseas electronic companies in the domestic market. Of course, Kumho will face the monopoly pressure of mobile and China Unicom to expand content supply in China. Now that domestic Internet users have just exceeded 20 million, the domestic Internet industry has reached the bottom, which just means giving more companies a new starting point. Faced with a broader market, the advantages accumulated in the early stage are nothing.

Zhang Ke felt that it was appropriate to rename MICQ to officially release a new version of MQ at this time, which is better than delaying the lawsuit for three or four years; Tencent's QICQ communication software is also destined to be renamed QQ.

It was already nine o'clock in the night, and the software laboratory of Dongda Chuangyu was still brightly lit. Shi Xinfei and others were still insisting on the R&D position. Xie Zijia was also there. When she saw Zhang Ke running over, her eyebrows raised. However, she saw Sun Jingmeng and Chen Feirong walking in with Zhang Ke, her mouth turned sagging and she didn't say anything. She continued to discuss the development plan with the R&D personnel, and ignored Zhang Ke's intention.

Zhang Ke knew that Xie Zijia, the younger sister-in-law, had a big temper, and her talents were demonstrated in the development of the new version of MQ. He had read the new version of MQ software development plan written by Sun Jingmeng, leading the development group. In addition to not agreeing to inserting the advertisement bar in the MQ software interface and adding search functions to avoid the software being too bloated, he could not make any other suggestions for the development plan.

Du Fei greeted Shi Xinfei, Xie Zijia and others to the conference room and demonstrated the new version of MQ software to Zhang Ke on the projector.

"We plan to launch a new version before the end of the summer. Through this revision, some user resources in business fields such as e-commerce, game platforms, forums, and emails will be gradually concentrated on MQ, forming a situation of competing with Tencent QICQ and Microsoft MSN in the Chinese instant messaging market..." Du Fei explained the goal of Dongda Chuangyu in the near future in the instant messaging market. "MQ software can also be integrated in GPRS mobile phones. We plan to discuss this value-added service plan with mobile Donghai Province in the near future."

"How much financial support can Kumho provide to Dongda Chuangyuan in the near future?" Xie Zijia asked.

Du Fei, Meng Le and others both smiled, and could not tell Xie Zijia clearly that Kumho planned to import 800 million US dollars from Dongda within five years. They still believed that Kumho and Kewang Hi-Tech had a clear boundary. Xie Zijia represented Kumho as the equity director of Dongda Chuangyu and participated in daily development and management work. However, Xie Zijia was a member of Kumho and a child of the Xie family. A few years ago, the conflict between Kumho and the Xie family had a lot of trouble.

Zhang Ke puffed his cheeks and said, "It depends on how big the pot you have set up..."

"The basic Internet services we can count now are basically free. Affected by the crisis of the bursting of the Internet bubble, the Internet industry is gradually falling into a low point. Various Internet companies are beginning to have headaches over profit problems, and will reflect on the free policies and hesitate. At this time, if Dongda Chuangyu can raise the banner of free with a greater momentum, it can win more opportunities in building user advantages..." Xie Zijia said, "If possible, Dongda Chuangyu's software laboratory should expand its scale and launch more free services in anti-virus, input methods, etc. On the one hand, we must avoid making MQ software too bloated. On the other hand, we need more, more comprehensive and more stable competition for free services to expand user advantages."

In order to win more user advantages and raise the free banner with greater momentum, solid capital is needed to support it.

Xie Zijia knows Kumho's capital strength, but also knows that Kumho has to spend a lot of money. Kumho's efforts to acquire the Hyundai Semiconductor LCD business have become a major news in the industry. Now Japanese and Korean electronic companies invest in TFT LCD business in one billion US dollars. After Kumho acquires Hyundai Semiconductor's LCD business, it will inevitably continue to invest. However, the financial support needed by Dongda Chuangyu is not to be taken out at once. The key is Kumho's attention to the market in this area. If Dongda Chuangyu ranks among the top in Kumho's industrial strategic development list, there is naturally no need to worry about capital support. If Kumho does not attach much importance to the market in Dongda Chuangyu, then the capital support for Dongda Chuangyu will naturally be limited.

Zhang Ke thought for a while and said, "Although the number of domestic Internet users is only 20 million, the value that the entire market can create is far less than that of the Internet market with the same user scale in Europe and the United States, we must see that almost every new generation that grows up in the future may become Internet users. The Chinese economy will continue to grow, and the consumption potential of the Internet market will continue to increase... Maybe it will take a longer time, but we also have enough patience, right?"

Zhang Ke would discuss many things with Chen Jing before making a decision, so he did not hesitate to let Xie Zijia know about some things, but he just wanted others to keep the attitude of being Jinhu and Kewang Hi-Tech in front of him. For further discussion, it would be better to wait for Xie Zijia to leave.

Zhang Ke told Du Fei: "Xie Zijia's idea is correct. Competing for user advantages is the focus of your work at this stage. In fact, the capital investment in Dongda Chuangyuan is not large compared to that of Jinhu as a whole. If you squeeze in other places, you cannot lack here."

Qin Gang sat together and thought to himself that filling 200 million or 300 million per year is enough to meet the needs of three businesses, and it is enough to allow Dongda Chuangyu to have a first-class domestic software laboratory; the annual investment of 200 million or 300 million or 300 million is really nothing compared to the investment of Kumho in other places.

Only the industry has great prospects, and even temporary continuous losses are nothing. Samsung Electronics has been losing money in the LCD industry for seven years and has become the world's largest supplier of LCD panels.

After coming out of the Dongda Chuangyu Software Laboratory at night, Du Fei asked about Qin Gang's house. Zhang Ke then realized that Qin Gang had no extra rooms when he came to Jianye to settle down. He said: "There is still a house. The two apartment buildings in the east gate of the school have been vacant for three years. There is no need to continue to be vacant. Lao Qin can choose one..."

"..." Qin Gang was a little surprised. The Youth Apartment had twelve buildings. The two buildings near the East Gate of Dongda were separated into an enclosed unit. Zhang Ke lived on the top floor of the building next to the East Gate. Some people who were close to Zhang Ke had rooms in that building. One was for safety reasons, and the other was to ensure the privacy of Zhang Ke's personal life. Another building in the same unit was always vacant. Qin Gang did not think that he had a close relationship with Zhang Ke so much that he could officially settle in. He thought: Zhang Ke took the initiative to propose that he would leave there and buy another house in other places in Jianye?

"I will graduate from Dongda University in one year, although I have been in trouble in the past three years..." Zhang Ke smiled self-deprecatingly. He knew why he had to enter Dongda University and chose to live there, or for the indescribable expectations? People always have to make up their minds and said to Qin Gang, "There are still a lot of rooms in those two buildings. Besides, the apartments are very in short supply now. I can't just do my own convenience - it's not just for you, but I will let the administrative department re-arrange it. Since I told you first, you can choose first."

"Then I'm not polite," Meng Le said, "I have to let Ruolin pick it up quickly."

Meng Le and Xi Ruolin returned to Jianye only, and had no place to live. They temporarily squeezed into the villa in Yanyuan with Du Fei. After hearing Zhang Ke’s ban, they naturally did not forget to get one first. There were only a few large-area duplex apartments in the high-rise apartment building, and they really couldn’t get it if they were slow.

Zhang Ke smiled and said, "I knew you were staring at the apartment on the top floor and giving you a wedding gift for Senior Sister Xi..."

Qin Gang didn't expect Zhang Ke to give him a duplex apartment. It would be a great thing to move in. Qin Gang came home at night and told his wife that his wife did not sleep well in the middle of the night. At dawn, he woke Qin Gang from his sleep and told him which apartment to take and how to arrange the apartment. Qin Gang quickly agreed with the administrative department. Now there are many employees in the entire Jinhu area in Jianye, and Qin Gang cannot count as a multi-weight person. He is slower and may be stolen by the houses.

Qin Gang was about to go to Xinwu with Zhang Ke, Sun Jingmeng and others at dawn, but they couldn't get rid of their bodies. They ignored their wife and asked her to go directly to the Oak Garden Administrative Office.

Jianye is unbearable in the heat of summer. Even if the sun is bright and sunny in Xinwu, the temperature is only 31 or 2 degrees at noon, and the Tianyun Mountain is cooler. At night, you even have to wear a long-sleeved thick cotton shirt to avoid feeling the coolness. The difference between the two places is less than 200 kilometers, and many people do not understand that the temperature difference between the two places will be so obvious.

This is the first time Qin Gang has seen Zhang Ke's father Zhang Zhixing. Compared to Zhang Ke's hidden secret, Zhang Zhixing has a great reputation in the province. In addition to his extraordinary political achievements over the years, his promotion is also talked about. In just six years, it is also a rare success in Tushi.

It was the first time that Qin Gang was a little restrained and unable to let go of his home in Xinwu. He thought that the Sun family and the Zhang family should have a very close relationship, but he did not expect that Sun Jingmeng, who was usually a straightforward person, could not let go of Zhang Zhixing and Liang Gezhen and his wife. On the contrary, Chen Feirong and Liang Gezhen had a close relationship and had no worries to get along with each other. This kind of thing made Qin Gang confused in his heart.

This time they went to Xinwu to discuss the investment issues of the film and television city. They also had Xue Shi, a vice president of Century Kumho Real Estate Group.

Xue Shi's father is Xue Guohua, director of the Ancient Architecture Research Institute under the Haizhou Garden and Cultural Relics Bureau. He has a family background. Xue Shi is also responsible for the repair of other buildings in Danjing Lane and Shatin East. Now he is going to invest in the construction of a film and television city in Xinwu, and he is an expert in building a construction planning and design.
