Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: January 22, 2001}

{Location: Flower Planting-Qin Province-Hannan City}

Ning Zimo's second uncle is named Zhang Qingshan. After graduating from college, he came to Hannan City with his second aunt Ning Yaping and started working as a small vendor.

The second uncle used to joke with people that he was a gambler, which of course had a lot to do with his rise in business.

In 1996, Zhang Qingshan spent all his savings for several years and bought a shop of less than 20 square meters in the newly opened Computer City in Hannan City.

The remaining money was used as starting capital to start a computer compatible business.

This was Zhang Qingshan's first bet, but he was right.

In those years, the hardware business in computer halls and Internet cafes was really booming.

With an income of hundreds of thousands a year, Zhang Qingshan praised his wise decision.

In 1999, Zhang Qingshan once again showed his gambling nature.

Aiming at the back-to-school season, he used most of his savings in the past three years to stock up on a large number of memory sticks, which amounted to 300,000 yuan.

But luck seems to have always been on Zhang Qingshan's side. As soon as his goods arrived, an earthquake occurred in Hsinchu, Wanwan. Within a few days, global memory prices began to double.

Just like that, Zhang Qingshan made the right bet again.

Not only was all the 300,000 invested returned, but an additional profit of nearly 1,000,000 was made.

With this operation, he established a good cooperative relationship with upstream distributors and became the largest compatible distributor in the computer market in Hannan City.

Subsequently, he took over five adjacent stores and turned his store into the largest compatible machine assembler in Hannan City.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Zhang Qingshan, who likes to make troubles, began to be dissatisfied with the current company development.

After studying the market and determining that he could not compete with Lianchuang Computer Company, the number one brand machine agent in Hannan City, he set his sights on the software business.

Therefore, Yaqing Computer Company, a subsidiary of Zhang Qingshan, established a new department in March 2000 - the software department.

It's just that the business development of this new department is not as comfortable as he is in the compatible machine market.

In his previous life, because of Luna's death, Ning Zimo had no time, energy or ability to deal with Zhang Qingshan's decision-making.

In this life, Zhang Qingshan's wrong choice can closely connect the thoughts in Ning Zimo's heart.

…

While Ning Zimo was looking at Zhang Qingshan, his second aunt Ning Yaping recovered from the surprising news and asked, "Zimo, what are you thinking about?"

In this era, it is a general consensus among the public that all people are of inferior quality and only those who are good at education are good.

Although Ning Zimo had the approval of his parents, it was difficult for him to understand the same choice in front of his second aunt and his family.

But at this time, Ning Zimo, who had deceived someone once, didn't mind deceiving him again, so he just told the "lie" he had made up.

"5,000 US dollars? The current US dollar exchange rate is 8.2. Calculating this, you have earned more than 40,000 yuan in the past six months!"

"Ah? How much is 40,000?" Zheng Yawen was surprised when he heard Zhang Qingshan's words.

Zheng Yawen knew that U.S. dollars were valuable, but she didn’t know that U.S. dollars were so valuable.

After a few simple tricks, my son ended up with more than five times the savings the family had saved over the years.

Ning Zimo allowed "Lie"'s own surprise to spread in the room. He waited for his parents to exchange glances with each other before speaking calmly, "Second aunt, second uncle. In fact, as I said, money is not something I particularly value.

Yes, I just feel that I have found a good development path for myself."

Ning Zimo began to revise the details of his plan in his mind from the moment he met Han Qinghua to pick up his bride in the morning, and then saw Zhang Qingshan at the lunch banquet.

The second uncle, Zhang Qingshan, is a top student in the Department of Computer Science at Nanjing University. For him, making money from a hardware company means supporting his family and building a well-off society.

But half of the software department he established was to expand his business scope, and the other half was not just for his dream?

Although I didn't have much contact with my relatives in my previous life after "escaping" from my hometown.

However, during the only few visits home, I occasionally heard his regretful remarks in the professional field from his second uncle Zhang Qingshan.

Since the second uncle has an idea,

His employee and his cheap brother-in-law, Han Qinghua, has development needs.

And I need a higher starting point.

As long as you plan well,

Isn't this a matter of killing three birds with one stone?

So at this time, what Ning Zimo wanted to talk about was no longer about his suspension of school, but how to involve his second uncle-in-law.

"Uncle, you should know a famous person in our free software for planting flowers - Zhang Xiaolong?"

Zhang Qingshan was stunned when he heard his nephew's sudden change of topic, but his head nodded unconsciously, "Of course I know, that is the pride of our countrymen in the software industry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qingshan frowned and asked curiously, "But, what does this have to do with you wanting to drop out of school?"

In Zhang Qingshan's view, based on his nephew Zimo's performance, Tsinghua University and Peking University may have difficulty, but with hard work it may be possible.

Therefore, regarding the matter of his nephew's suspension from school, Zhang Qingshan felt that what his wife and brother did was really unwise.

Even though his nephew earned 5,000 US dollars, Zhang Qingshan still felt that a young man should focus on studying. What's more, the current software industry is not progressing very well.

Can a 17-year-old boy get a better chance than others in this troubled water?

Zhang Qingshan didn't think so. At the same time, Zhang Qingshan also knew that the key person in this matter was still his nephew, so he thought about how to stop his nephew's whims.

Although Ning Zimo didn't know what his uncle Zhang Qingshan was thinking, he knew very well what Zhang Qingshan was thinking when he asked back.

"During the summer vacation, I studied two pieces of software. One was foxmail developed by Zhang Xiaolong, and the other was FlashGet developed by Hou Yantang."

"Yes, two free software. Foxmail was acquired by a company called Boda after four years of development. Although the acquisition price was as high as 12 million, it was achieved in exchange for Boda shares."

Halfway through Ning Zi's silent words, he was interrupted by his second uncle Zhang Qingshan.

He has a 37-year-old soul and a vision that is 20 years ahead of his time. How can he still know what his second uncle means when he says this?

I just want to remind him not to be fooled by the superficial value of foxmail.

Thinking of this, Ning Zimo gave Zhang Qingshan a thumbs up, "Second uncle really has a software person's heart. He has been in the hardware business for so many years, but he understands his profession so well."

After all, he is a man who has been on his own for 12 years. How can Ning Zimo not use his own methods?

This rainbow fart was shot, and Zhang Qingshan's pleasure was immediately captured.

In front of his family, Zhang Qingshan still felt a little jealous.

Ning Zimo hurriedly called the iron hot, "Although Foxmail and Internet Express are free software attributes that can be widely disseminated. However, I have seen from them some feasible future development directions of the software industry."

"Feasible development direction?" Zhang Qingshan was stunned by his nephew's words. Little did he know that this was a hole dug for him by his nephew.

"Foxmail and Internet Express are positioned as civilian software, which is not a way to make money. But if the software is developed in the professional and commercial fields from the beginning, can it directly become commercial software? There is no need to sell oneself to make money, but to sell services.

make money?"

"Selling services? Making money?"

Ning Zimo naturally has many unique insights when looking at the future. These things can fool people casually, not to mention that this is a trap that Ning Zimo deliberately dug for his second uncle Zhang Qingshan.

After Zhang Qingshan jumped into the pit, he entered the tunnel dug by Ning Zimo and was completely controlled.

Others present could not understand what the aunt and nephew were talking about, and it felt a bit like watching gods fight. But judging from Zhang Qingshan's reaction, they could more or less understand that the ability that this nephew showed today was beyond them.

imagination.

Ning Zimo couldn't care about other people's feelings at this time. He had a clear purpose, so he naturally continued to dig the hole deeper.

"Software is also a product, and it also needs to make profits. Only in this way can we invest in the production of new products and earn profits, and only then can this business model continue to cycle.

Therefore, shouldn’t a qualified software practitioner aim to find the right market and the right business model to promote the healthy development of the market and ultimately make money?

Uncle, look, the right market is the corresponding product, and the right business model is how to sell the product.

If you have products, you can make money, and the industry can develop healthily. Isn't this what a software person pursues?"

Ning Zimo spread his hands and looked at Zhang Qingshan, the curve of his mouth seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Zhang Qingshan stared at his nephew in stunned silence, blinked and then looked at his wife's brother Ning Guoping.

"Don't I know better than you about my son's character?" Ning Guoping glanced at his son, turned to Zhang Qingshan and said, "I have known for a long time that persuasion is useless, he must be prepared to mention it to us.

"

Only then did Ning Zimo realize that when he was plotting against his family, wasn't his father plotting against him?

It seems that he was given a half-year leave of absence, but in fact it was still within the framework set by his parents and showed full respect.

Just like you would treat a child,

Should you brush your teeth first or wash your face first?

Letting go in education is not indulgence, but free play within a large framework.

After all, education still needs guidance.

After all, education is also a kind of calculation.

It's just this calculation, but it's something I can accept.

Ning Guoping looked at his sister Ning Yaping again with a smile on his face, "Brother-in-law is helping to torture this person today. Although I don't know much about their industry. But judging from his expression and Zimo's expression, I think Zimo is better prepared.

It’s quite sufficient. So, let’s let him wander around for half a year. If it doesn’t work, go back and study hard.”

"This..." Zhang Qingshan only said one word, and the rest was swallowed hard.

If he still doesn't understand after things like this, then he's not a father in the right way.

Faced with the unconventional ideas of the next generation, it would be unwise to resist with all your might

.The wife and brother just used an unconventional way to deal with it. What an unwise move.

Zhang Qingshan looked up and saw the eager look in Ning Zimo's eyes, and the words his nephew just said suddenly came to mind.

The pursuit of software people.

Can this be said by a young man who is only 17 years old and has never been in this industry?

Is this considered ambitious or too high-spirited?

Is the person in front of me still my nephew?

Why didn't I see him with such a vision and ambition before?

An idea suddenly and inexplicably occurred in Zhang Qingshan's mind. Once the idea came up, he couldn't help but want to implement it.

Turning his eyes, Zhang Qingshan's tone also changed, "Since Zimo said it is the pursuit of software people, how can software people not have a computer? Well, our company has some important things to do before 11 a.m. tomorrow.

Deal with it. Come to our company after 11 o'clock and discuss the development of the software industry with our company's top students. If you perform well, my uncle will award you a high-end computer."

Ning Zimo was a little bit dumbfounded.

Emotions have bypassed enlightened parents, and turned around to face relatives who couldn't figure it out?

Is the second uncle still unwilling to give up and wants to persuade him to return to the right path?

Behind the seemingly tempting temptation of a high-end computer is a threshold that is completely unreachable for a 17-year-old boy.

But faced with such an unexpected opportunity, doesn’t the chosen one still have some way to deal with it?

Now, things get more interesting!
