Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

Gong Yu led a man about thirty years old into the office and introduced: "Mr. Wang, this is Bi Sheng. He has arrived at his post."

Wang Zheng stood up, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Welcome Manager Bi to join Huoyun. Your name is so good, you will win every battle!"

Bi Sheng shook hands and the three of them sat down on the sofa.

"Mr. Wang, I made a special trip to Nandu City before I came here. The design concept of Yunwang Internet Cafe management and the operation strategy of the Internet cafe are indeed more advanced." Bi Sheng first praised it and then said: "But the pricing is very low.

, I’m curious about how Huoyun plans to make a profit?”

Wang Zheng replied: "The cloud network management was originally designed not to make money by selling software, but to make money from Internet advertising."

Bi Sheng suddenly realized: "It's a very advanced idea. Through low-price strategies, business strategies and annual fee systems, we can increase the stickiness of Internet cafe owners and increase market share. Then we can make profits through desktop advertisements and Internet cafe homepages."

As expected, he is very experienced and can understand everything at once.

"That's right, but software promotion and online game promotion should not be underestimated. These need to have a high enough share before we have the right to speak." Wang Zheng said emphatically: "Manager Bi, your burden is still relatively heavy. Get it as soon as possible.

Come up with an effective promotion strategy.”

"Okay, I understand Mr. Wang."

Mr. Wang nodded, raised the issue that he had considered for a long time, and added: "In addition, Internet cafe customers are very mobile and the customer base is also very uncertain, so it is inevitable to be subject to government supervision in the future."

"Later, I will hand over to you the supervision client specially developed for the government Internet supervision department. You should focus on this issue during the promotion process."

After hearing this, Bi Sheng became more confident and immediately replied: "No problem, I will give you a review after I go back and formulate a plan."

"Then I wish Manager Bi victory in every battle!"

The Yunwang Internet cafe management system is divided into several parts, the server, the client, the cashier, the supervision terminal and the database. There is also a master control terminal for direct connection to each Internet cafe server and advertising placement.

The overall structure is very complete, and it is not difficult to bring it under government supervision. However, the laws and regulations are not yet perfect, the second-generation ID cards are not yet popular, and the definition of web cameras is relatively low, so some functions cannot be used, but there is less regulatory content.

Gong Yu arranged an office for Bi Sheng and brought his Penguin into the company group.

Wang was transferring files to Bi Sheng, but found that even on the same intranet, the speed was extremely slow. He wanted to open a network share, but the sharing of the Windows system was really difficult to use. He couldn't help complaining: "What rubbish?"

thing!"

Suddenly remembering something, Wang Zheng patted his head, quickly connected the USB flash drive, opened the folder "Company", and quickly found a subfolder named "Xiao Ming IM".

This is an intranet instant messaging software that was developed by Wang Zheng's company in the future. It is not sold and is only used within the company. Wang Zheng was responsible for deploying this system at the time, so he was still very familiar with it.

The software was developed around 2018. Functionally, it is a simplified version of Penguin + Dingding + WeChat. Because the server is local to the company, the chat content is not easy to leak and is easier to manage.

It was originally a software for the company's own use and was not intended to be sold to the outside world, so the useful interface functions were basically copied and the useless ones were discarded. Of course, the ones copied were from 2018's Penguin and Dingding. Compared with 2005... it's really...

There's no comparison.

As a result, the functional modules of this software became a stitching monster, Penguin's chat system and group management system, and Dingding's office collaboration system, all merged together.

Zhou Ruoyun was asked to go to the administrative department to order the deployment of an internal server. Within an hour, the purchase, installation, account password, and IP address had been sent to him.

The installation of the server is very simple. After a simple debugging, Xiaoming IM can be used normally.

Grant system permissions to the administration and let them slowly refine the organizational structure, approval process, etc.

Wang Zheng arranged for Zhou Ruoyun to distribute the Xiaoming IM client, and soon Bi Sheng came online.

Drag the software set of cloud network management and Internet cafe tools into the file sharing function of Xiao Ming IM, and grant permissions to Bi Sheng, so that he can directly drag these files there.

It's very convenient.

After a while, Gong Yu came in and asked impatiently: "Mr. Wang, does the company want to do instant messaging business?"

Wang Zheng was confused, "What do you mean?"

Gong Yu was very excited: "Xiao Ming IM, I tried it just now. The chat system is very good, especially the office collaboration OA system, which has very excellent functions and is very competitive in the market."

That's true, but Xiao Ming IM is based on the internal network. Although it can be used as a VPN and can be used on the external network, it is too complicated. Wang Zheng thought about it, shook his head and said: "The main purpose of Xiao Ming IM is for enterprises and institutions.

The office collaboration is developed based on the intranet and has no social attributes. If it is used for instant messaging, I am afraid it will not be adapted to the local environment."

DaDao Group started Dingding, and the OA market was so big, but in the end it failed to succeed socially. Knowing what he has learned from the past, Wang Zheng will definitely not let Xiao Ming IM go into that troubled waters.

But Gong Yu is still insistent: "The market for instant messaging is huge. With Penguin as an example, many large companies are working in this direction. I think we should separate the chat system and OA system and make a separate social IM.

There is a great opportunity to use the OA system to attract corporate customers."

Wang Zheng has no doubts about this point of view. The chat system of Xiaoming IM is originally a copy of Penguin and WeChat in the future. Even if it abandons many fancy functions, it is still an excellent chat software in the final analysis.

As for instant messaging, instant messaging and messaging functions are fundamental. With Wang Zheng’s foresight, it is indeed not difficult to develop a useful social software.

And Wang Zheng didn't want to dampen Gong Yu's enthusiasm, so he agreed and said: "Since it's going to be done, you can get a team together as soon as possible. I have other things to do. I'm only a product consultant, and I won't be involved in programming and design."

Of course Gong Yu was very happy that his idea was approved by his boss, and he immediately agreed, fearing that Wang Zheng would regret it - it costs money to do business.

"Please speed up the communication with the game company. The company does not have much funds."

"I understand, we are already communicating. Later, the other party may want to see the effect. How should we deal with this aspect?"

"Ask them to bring a server with the server installed and a computer with the client installed to the company, and I will demonstrate on the spot."

Now Huoyun Company only has more than 600,000 yuan left on its books. Most of the money was spent on the servers and bandwidth of "Huo Rong Security", as well as the company's office equipment, job advertisements, and operating funds. In total, more than 800,000 yuan was spent.

The income from Nandu City Internet Cafe is just a drop in the bucket. Fang Xing is still negotiating with 365 Navigation and has not made any money yet.

Gong Yu wants to engage in instant messaging and also supports Fang Xing in preliminary research on cloud computing.

Wang Zheng had a splitting headache when he thought that the amount of money needed to invest in these businesses was almost astronomical.

All online game tycoons, please give me some help and contribute some funds to let Xiaohuoyun develop.
