Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

Ning Zimo's sly smile made Zhang Xiaolong blush.

But he really had no choice. He had to lower his body and ask the young man in front of him for advice.

After all, professional fields coexist with seniority rankings, especially the Internet, which is a miraculous place where you can achieve what you want through creativity.

The young man in front of me participated in the development of the American company Beibao team, and together with his partners created a miracle of 1.8 billion US dollars. But as for him, he couldn't find a way out with foxmail?

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaolong shook his head to the side of Chen Li. He really lowered his body and said in a deep voice, "Zimo, I am different from before. After all, these 20 or so people are following me now."

, I can’t make everyone’s life miserable.”

Ning Zimo heard Zhang Xiaolong's helplessness. It was a dilemma that he couldn't solve at the moment.

But Ning Zimo can. The main purpose of his visit this time is to find Zhang Xiaolong to participate in the most important link in the [bing ecological chain].

But what surprised him was that Zhang Xiaolong still had a whole team with him at this time.

There were a total of 20 people. For Ning Zimo, this was a matter of sleepiness and pillows.

After thinking about it, Ning Zimo stopped going around in circles and said directly, "Brother Long, let's get to the point. First, I want to ask you, how do you understand it?"

Zhang Xiaolong saw that Ning Zimo was jumping very quickly, and quickly followed up, "It should be the portal."

"Yes, it is a portal, very accurate. The website provides content, allowing users in this era to form the habit of browsing on the Internet, and eventually expand value-added services. The general profit model of portal websites in this era is news + advertising.

host.

The main portal business serves as a breakthrough, and the concurrent business serves as a supplement. All content in this era is provided by editors. Therefore, the key to this era is to cultivate users' habits of accessing on the Internet."

In the early days of the Internet, the behavior of Netizen, New Wolf, and Sohu in cultivating users was particularly obvious. Internet users in this era are not like the previous era when entertainment resources were abundant. Users can browse news on major portals and chat.

The norm in the early days of the Internet.

Zhang Xiaolong is a trendsetter of this era, so he is naturally familiar with the habits of Internet users during this period.

Ning Zimo paused and continued, "The beginning of the era means that there will definitely be expansion of 2.0 and 3.0. If the era is about cultivating user habits, then by the 2.0 era, the Internet population base has actually existed, and people's needs

There must have been corresponding changes.

When the time comes, people who have the habit of surfing the Internet will definitely not be satisfied with the content provided by the website, but will definitely use the convenience of the Internet to interact, express their personality, create, and share. Therefore, there are four key words in that period: interaction,

Create, content, share.”

In the previous life, the era was reflected in the land of flowers, and more in the public's demand for platforms such as QQ space, blogs, and even Weibo.

Ning Zimo understands that Zhang Xiaolong is actually confused about how to find a suitable profit model between the transitions between the two eras so that the product can continue to develop. But Ning Zimo can provide a good one at this point.

Chance.

This is a mutually beneficial thing, and it is also the important purpose of Ning Zimo coming here.

And, no matter what the cost!

"Every web era has its focus, but there is one commonality throughout the era, and this commonality is the focus of Foxmail's development." Ning Zimo said firmly.

Hearing that Ning Zimo really had a plan, Zhang Xiaolong couldn't wait. But when he saw Ning Zimo stopped in the middle of what he said, he even looked at him. Zhang Xiaolong savored the details in his words, and suddenly in his mind

An incredible answer emerged.

"Mailbox? Do you think mailboxes can last through three eras?"

Although Zhang Xiaolong thought of the mailbox, he was still not sure.

Because the biggest problem with mailboxes when making profits is what he is encountering now.

"Yes, it's the mailbox." Ning Zimo nodded.

Think about the user login systems of major platforms in the past. Before the advent of the mobile Internet era, account registration on every platform almost used email to receive verification codes. What's more, email was used as a login account.

This form changed later because after the arrival of the mobile Internet, people were changing their habit of using email to other tools. For example: QQ, Weixin, Alipay.

In China, the account systems of Tengxun and Ali account for more than 90% of Internet users in Zhonghua. But before these account systems were popularized, email account dominated.

That is to say, Zhonghua Internet users do not have the habit of using email. Otherwise, Sohu, Xinlang, and Wangyi would definitely crowd out QQ and occupy the user base.

Look at the O&M country in the previous life, which is as powerful as Facebook, which accounts for half of the user base of the small broken ball. Didn’t it need an email address to carry users in the early stages of its development?

Ning Zimo saw the corner of Zhang Xiaolong's mouth twitching and spoke first, "I know you are worried about profitability, and this is what I want to explain to you now. After all, it is not enough to just make Foxmail a real Internet mailbox. Because

After all, an email is just a user account, and users still need an entire ecosystem to enjoy services.

Such as social networking, storage, games, documents, pictures and other services. As long as the user is in an ecosystem, the mailbox has its specific meaning. When talking about mailboxes outside of the ecology, maybe you can consider mailbox advertising? Well, that one is a bit annoying

thing."

"Game? Document?? Picture???" Zhang Xiaolong felt that he couldn't keep up with Ning Zimo's thinking.

Seeing that he was confused, Ning Zimo explained: "Yes, use the email account as the user account, and all services can be used with one number. Email is just a way for users to rely on you. As long as they are used to using your email, you can provide them with anything

They will try to serve them if they need it.”

Zhang Xiaolong was even more helpless, "How can you sustain your mailbox if it is not profitable? There is a lot of investment in hardware, and the profit it can generate is almost nonexistent. What you are talking about is beyond what our foxmail development team can do?"

Ning Zimo turned his head and winked at Li Ying. When he saw the corners of her eyes twitching, he understood that she was signaling him not to go too far.

Ning Zimo clasped his hands, turned his head and smiled softly, "Brother Long, I have it. I have a whole ecosystem that just lacks an email product to cooperate with. If you are willing, you can join in."

While talking, Ning Zimo opened his notebook, and the name of a ppt chapter was displayed on the screen.

"Bing Ecological Chain Completion Plan"

At this time, not only Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Li looked surprised, but also Li Ying.

"Did you stay up all night again last night?" Li Ying frowned.

Ning Zimo shook his head, "After flying for more than 20 hours, even an Iron Man can't bear it. I went to bed before one o'clock last night, got up at 6:30 in the morning, and completed the plan in half an hour.

"

After hearing what he said, Li Ying's brows relaxed.

Ning Zimo saw that she was relieved and knew that she was worried about him. Now that everything was fine, he turned to Zhang Xiaolong and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Long, my shares in Beibao will be sold in July. I guarantee that I have enough capital to start my big plan. In fact, I now have enough money to buy back the foxmail brand and ownership rights from Boda.

.But my plan is currently only for my partners to see. So, you may have to take a gamble."

Ning Zimo's sudden move made Zhang Xiaolong's newly ignited expectations come to an abrupt end, and he was a little annoyed.

But seeing Ning Zimo's serious face, his mood suddenly dropped.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed understandable for Ning Zimo to do this.

In the Internet age, every idea is a business opportunity.

He may have to face this choice.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaolong was still deep in thought, Ning Zimo pointed his fingertips at the screen and pushed him, "Brother Long, this must be a door. You may not know what is behind this door, but I have to let you

Take a gamble."

Seeing Zhang Xiaolong looking up at him,

Ning Zimo looked into his eyes,

Word by word:

"Do you want to open the door?

What will happen?

It's a new century,

Still chaos,

All you need is a choice.

You might even consider,

Don’t push the door open!”
