Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Zheng and Zhou Ruoyun landed in the capital. It took another hour to arrive at Zhongguan Town.

Walking on the street, Wang Zheng looked at the familiar streets and felt a little dazed.

After so many years, when he came to Zhongguan Town in the capital again, he felt more like remembrance. At this time in his previous life, he was working as a small installer in these high-rise buildings in Zhongguan Town while absorbing knowledge.

But when I came here for the first time in this life, things were different and people were different.

After making an appointment with Lei Jun in a very private teahouse, Lei Jun chose the place. He asked Zhou Ruoyun to open an extra room to stay there, and Wang Zheng opened the door of the "Banshan Hall".

The first time he saw Lei Jun in real life, Wang Zheng always felt that Lei Jun seemed older at this time than when he held a press conference every year a few years later.

Wang Zheng still likes Rebus who is wearing casual clothes and jeans on the platform.

"Mr. Lei, I am Wang Zheng, I have long admired my name."

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I didn't expect you to be so young."

The two exchanged a few words and sat across from each other.

Lei Jun poured the tea and asked proactively: "Mr. Wang, you must have heard about my resignation."

"That's right." Wang Zheng nodded and said: "Huoyun's HR manager Li Qingyu worked for Capital Jinsoft for a while. This morning he told me that you resigned, and I still didn't believe it. Later he

After confirming the news, I will contact you immediately."

Lei Jun suddenly said: "I remember him. He was doing pretty well in the administrative department at that time, but I didn't expect that he would now be in the personnel department."

"No wonder Manager Li told me that you are a person with great management charisma, and you are indeed worthy of being Mr. Lei." It is rare to be able to remember colleagues from two or three years ago.

Lei Jun waved his hand and said: "Wang Zheng, don't praise me. Your Huoyun is developing so well now. I have heard about it in the capital, why would you think of coming to me?"

"Mr. Lei, please don't laugh. In terms of management, I am actually a layman." Wang Zheng said sincerely. Seeing that Lei Jun wanted to refute, he added: "Mr. Lei, you will know what is going on after you listen to me.

.”

Then he flexed his fingers and said: "After I got the operating authorization of "Huo Rong Security", I promised to operate it for free and create a clean environment for the Internet. But the company had to make money, so I thought of a way and did it.

A very broken navigation page.”

Lei Jun laughed and said happily: "It's really bad. If I do it, it will definitely be much better than this."

"My original idea was very simple, which was to fish. When the number of downloads of "Huo Rong Safety" increased, I would sell the default homepage to Qiandu or hao123." Wang Zheng said and also laughed: "At that time, I just wanted to make some money quickly.

money and then start other businesses.”

"Later, the company hired people and built an official website for Huorong Security. A small artist couldn't stand it, so he changed the navigation website, which is now 365 Navigation."

Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head, laughing at himself: "At that time, Fang Xing had already joined Huoyun. Many people asked him how to sell the LOGO link on the navigation page. He was so annoyed that he asked me what to do."

"I run it by myself, I don't understand this. If I sell it, I feel a loss." Wang Zheng said about his feelings at the time, very helpless: "Later Gong Yu, Huo Yun's general assistant, said, do it yourself, it won't work.

If you want to learn, you can recruit people."

Lei Jun felt incredible after hearing this: "365 Navigation is so popular now. Is this how it came to be?"

"Yes, and we haven't even recruited an operation and management team yet. It's all done by the little artist himself."

"It's not surprising. After all, the two launches of "Huo Rong Security" are indeed very powerful. Huo Rong's market share has driven the market share of navigation, and the experience is excellent. Even I use it myself."

Lei Jun held up his hands and said with a smile: "So Huo Yun is planning to switch to the online game industry? I heard that you have won the agency right for a game."

"It is true that we have won the agency rights, but we are not switching to the online game industry." Wang Zheng said with a smile: "Huoyun has set its main business from the beginning, which is cloud computing and platform business. Online games are more profitable, and they are used to support them.

Cloud computing.”

Lei Jun thought for a while and determined that he had never heard of this term before, so he asked: "Cloud computing? Is it the same principle as the cloud anti-virus proposed by Huorong?"

Wang Zheng told Fang Xing about the "water plant" model again, and Lei Jun was indeed very interested.

"This is indeed a very avant-garde technical route." Lei Jun thought about the prospects for a moment and asked: "What does the platform business mean?"

Wang Zheng was afraid that if he didn't ask, these topics would become public knowledge in the future, and no one who often used funny words would be able to say a few words.

"Platform business refers to the entrance to the Internet, including but not limited to hard platforms such as mobile phones and PCs, and soft platforms such as operating systems."

Lei Jun was stunned: "How do you make an Internet entrance on a mobile phone? Do you mean Monternet? That experience is too bad."

"It's not that." Wang Zheng shook his head, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket, and handed them over.

This was a temporary painting by Wang Zheng on the plane. He knew it would not be easy to convince Lei Jun to join Huoyun, but he still wanted to do his best.

Lei Jun looked at the pattern on the paper and frowned, thinking that the drawing was too poor.

Wang Zheng took out his 8800 and said: "Mr. Lei, my drawing is very crude because there is really not much information collected so far. But what is certain is that there are at least three companies in the American League competing for this track.

"

"Imagine that the future mobile phone will no longer have a keyboard, but a complete screen. Computer-like applications are running on the screen, where you can easily browse the web, use Penguin, and write blogs..."

Lei Jun was shocked and quickly grasped the key point: "Touch screen!"

"As expected of Mr. Lei, he immediately grasped the key point of the problem, which is a touch screen mobile phone."

Wang Zheng said seriously: "Our PC era has been dominated by Microsoft for so long. If we want to change the situation, the only way to change the situation is to find another battlefield."

"Apple, Google, and Microsoft have now embarked on the mobile operating system track, and Daxia cannot lag behind any longer. Otherwise, we will face the same ending."

"Mr. Lei, I remember you said something when you rewritten WPS before. You may not be able to beat Microsoft if you rewrite it, but you will definitely not be able to beat Microsoft if you don't rewrite it. If you don't make steamed buns, you will lose your reputation!"

"I want to invite you to join us and fight for another breath!"

Lei Jun leaned on the back of his chair and looked out the window and thought for about ten minutes. Wang Zheng did not disturb him and was somewhat lost in thought.

What he said just now was really not a joke, but he really thought about doing this. He has been thinking about it since he registered Huoyun Company.

We are about to enter 2006, and the distance to 2007 is getting shorter and shorter. Starting from 2007, Apple released ios, Google released anos, and Microsoft released wpos, and the battle for mobile operating systems began.

In the end, giants like Microsoft did not survive. iOS and Anos split the world equally, while Daxia Juchang's hmos only took a slight place in 2024, and it is still far from being an industry giant.

Now Wang Zheng has the opportunity to rewrite history, why not?

Furthermore, if we start working now, due to the slow development of Daxia's chip industry, the chances of success may be low. But if we don't do it, we will never succeed.

Maybe it can force the investment in the chip industry in Daxia.
