Rebirth of the Wild Age

Rongcheng.

Song Weiyang was playing chess with Old Man Lin, and the two met each other, and the situation was very tense—at least it seemed so.

It's easy to win, and it's easy to lose. It's very difficult to fight back and forth without being seen by the opponent. Song Weiyang feels that this thing is too tiring.

"General!" Song Weiyang jumped on his horse.

Old man Lin immediately propped up the "scholar" to trip the horse's legs. Song Weiyang drove over with a "car" to eat the "cannon". Old man Lin hurriedly moved the "cannon" to the "elephant" nest for defense. Forced to eat, "car" for "cannon", and another "horse" to jump over the general. Old man Lin moved his old commander to hide, but was eaten up by two "horses", "scholars" and "elephants".

"Wait, regret one step!" Old man Lin held down the chess piece.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Are you sure you regretted one step, not several steps?"

Old man Lin was very frustrated, as long as he was given the first chance, he would be able to put Song Weiyang to death. It's a pity that the success fell short, Song Weiyang forced him to deal with it passively, and the overall situation that he had painstakingly planned before was completely ruined.

"Again!" Old man Lin didn't bother to regret the game, because he couldn't regret it.

Today is really evil, every time old man Lin almost wins, but always gets overturned at the most critical moment, this is more annoying than being killed directly.

After another half an hour, Old Man Lin burst out laughing and snapped out the pawn: "General, you can't run away!"

Song Weiyang said sadly: "Oh, I should have replaced your pawn a long time ago, and it will be used as a car until the end of the game."

Old man Lin finally won a round, and immediately he was full of relief, rolled up his sleeves and said the truth: "The pawn who crosses the river is a cart, don't take it seriously. You should be like this, don't take anyone lightly. If you bully a beggar today, he might become a big shot in a few years."

Song Weiyang echoed: "Uncle is right. Chess is like life, and life is like chess. Your level of playing chess is no longer that of ordinary people."

"You son of a bitch, don't flatter me!" Old man Lin scolded with a smile, not knowing how beneficial it was.

Lin Zhuoyun came out with a plate of steamed sausages, and shouted into the room: "Doudo, wash your hands and eat!"

"Eat, eat." Old man Lin stood up with a smile, still immersed in the joy of winning chess. This feeling of winning chess after repeated fierce battles is countless times more refreshing than winning chess easily all the time. He even looks forward to continuing to play in the afternoon.

Everyone sat down around the table, old man Lin didn't move his chopsticks, but asked his wife to call his eldest daughter.

Lin's mother held the phone and said, "Xiaozi, it's me. Are you still busy? You won't be home for the New Year this year... Oh, I want to come back, come back on New Year's Eve... Yes, this is my phone No, the card that Xiao Song gave..."

Mother Lin said something, and the phone was snatched by old man Lin, then passed to Doudou, and finally Lin Zhuoyun and Song Weiyang.

After hanging up the phone, Mother Lin put down the slider phone and said happily: "This phone is of good quality, the sound is clear, and the signal is good. How much does it cost in the market?"

Song Weiyang said: "More than 3,000. However, your and uncle's mobile phones are not for sale for stereotype testing. I specially picked two and brought them back."

Old man Lin has been popularized for a long time, and now he showed off in front of his wife: "Xiao Song's company is very powerful. This is the best domestic mobile phone at present. It has many core technologies developed by itself. Don't look at the domestic mobile phones on the market. There are a lot of mobile phones, all of which are assembled by OEM, and the money is earned by foreigners. An enterprise, just like a person or a country, cannot look at other people's faces, and must be self-reliant. When New China was just established, Anglo-American joint blockade of China..."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to your rationale every meal." Mother Lin interrupted impatiently.

"I have long hair and short knowledge, I'm too lazy to tell you," old man Lin chewed on the bacon and took a sip of wine, "Xiao Song, the last time I read the newspaper, the news said that many Internet companies you invested in had lost money. That What is the name of Google’s website in the United States, and you lost hundreds of millions at once, isn’t it true?”

Lin's mother was quite worried: "A company loses hundreds of millions? Xiao Song, is your business doing well?"

Song Weiyang explained with a smile: "It's normal for Internet companies to go up and down. The hundreds of millions that Google lost were all earned in the past. Now the Internet industry is losing money, and the environment is not good. After two or three years, it will make money back." .”

"Yes, yes, the newspaper said that all Internet companies are losing money," old man Lin half-knowledged, "There are still people running this money-losing company? Are there no profitable Internet companies?"

Song Weiyang thought for a while and said, "There are some people who make money, and 263 is very profitable. But if 263 doesn't transform, it is doomed to go bankrupt sooner or later. The potential of this company is not as good as that of a money-losing company."

263 is an Internet service company. In the cold winter of the Internet, it is hard to make money.

In the past two years, at least dozens of venture capital institutions have taken a fancy to 263, but Bruce Lee, the boss of 263, directly said: "What are we doing financing? We are not short of money, and shareholders pay dividends every year."

263's profit model is very simple, it is for network access.

Since the private line fee for users to access the Internet is very expensive, ordinary Internet users can only buy stored-value Internet access cards in order to save money. However, this kind of Internet card must be prepaid at the bank, and the Internet access procedure is so cumbersome that many Internet users would rather spend more money than spend a lot of trouble in order to save money.

Therefore, 263 saw the business opportunity and took the lead in launching the "caller billing" method. Netizens don't need to go through complicated procedures, just dial 2631 to access the Internet, and the Internet fee can be paid together with the call fee.

Since then, "caller billing" has become the basic service method of Chinese ISPs, which has been imitated by many competitors. However, 263 has a first-mover advantage, and has successively launched services such as monthly subscription payment and free mailboxes. It has expanded rapidly in more than two years, and has completely wiped out service providers such as Great Wall and Lenovo.

Take Beijing as an example. Telecom’s network users accounted for 40%, 263’s network users accounted for 40%, and service providers such as Netcom, Great Wall, and Lenovo shared the remaining 20%.

Although Bruce Lee, the boss of 263, refused to accept financing, he was stunned by the venture capital institution that came to him for financing. Everyone told him that building a portal website has a future, so he started building a website just before the Internet bubble burst. Now the traffic is only second to the three major websites Sohu, Sina and Netease, but the website business has been losing money, and it will be a year later. Give up completely, and then focus on the VoIP market.

Internet calls are not online calls, but use landlines to make Internet calls. I don't know how much business has been robbed of China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom. This thing, like PHS, belongs to an unrecognized gray area, and even replaced PHS—becoming the most hated thing of the telecommunications tsar, and spared no effort to suppress it crazily.

So there was no way to do it in China, so 263 bought italk, the No. 3 VoIP service provider in the United States and No. 1 in the North American Chinese market, and went abroad to seek overseas development.

By the way, Lenovo is also working on a portal website, and it is cooperating with America Online (the world's largest Internet company).

It's a pity that Lenovo, like 263, joined the National Party in 1949, and encountered a severe winter in the industry just after the establishment of the website. These two companies are thieves rich, and other websites are shrinking, but they are crazy about money circle traffic.

In another two months, Lenovo and AOL will continue to make efforts, each investing 100 million US dollars to continue to circulate traffic, and spread the advertisements of the website throughout the country. The default homepage of all Lenovo computers is this website! So in 2001, 263 website traffic ranked fourth, Lenovo's website traffic ranked fifth, and then both websites lost money.

This is not an adjective, it is really a loss to death.

If Lenovo persists, with its strong financial strength, it may be able to kill all three major portals. However, Lenovo's portal website is for the purpose of going public to collect money. Since it has been unable to go public for a long time, and it has been losing money if it fails to make money, it should not be done at all. What's more, the death is ugly, the website is not renewed, and after the website expires, it is directly bought by other companies, and the portal website suddenly becomes a navigation website, and the data in the website is wiped out.

Song Weiyang tried his best to saliva, and finally let old man Lin know about the operation of the website, but was interpreted by old man Lin as a game of drumming and passing flowers...

After eating, Doudou went to play games. There are various activities during the Spring Festival, so she wished she could spend every day in games.

In the kitchen, Mother Lin was washing and playing quickly, turned her head to look at the living room, and asked in a low voice, "When will you and Xiao Song get married?"

Lin Zhuoyun said: "There is no rush, we are still young."

Mother Lin anxiously said: "What do you mean by being young? You will be 30 years old in a few years! A woman is an old girl after 30 years old, and Xiao Song is capable. There may be many women who seduce him. If you regret it at that time, you will be old." It's too late!"

"Let's talk about it later." Lin Zhuoyun said.

Lin's mother could only be anxious: "You, you, you never let me worry since I was a child."

In the afternoon, Song Weiyang and old man Lin continued to fight fiercely, and the two sides were fighting on the chessboard.

Mother Lin pretended to be looking at the flag, and from time to time she would gossip about someone's daughter getting married again, someone's son buying a wedding house again, and which colleague is about to have a grandson.

Lin Zhuoyun felt very helpless, and quietly said to Song Weiyang at night: "My mother is too anxious, don't worry about it."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Why don't we go get the certificate?"

"Huh?" Lin Zhuoyun was surprised and delighted.
