Revisiting Future Path

#045-Fifth

The score of 879 is the result of the efforts of the teachers who approve papers in various subjects.

The deliberately low scores for the subjective questions of Chinese subjects alone can push Wei Dongsheng's total score to 900 points, which proves that taking a leave of absence for one month has no negative impact.

Teacher Wei, the head teacher, was pleased that Wei Dongsheng's grades did not drop, worried about Wei Dongsheng's threat of dropping out, and contacted other departments with complicated psychology. After discussing for a long time, the school decided to remain ambiguous about the matter for the time being, and let Wei Dongsheng go his own way. When Wei Dongsheng's academic performance drops significantly, he will negotiate how to deal with Wei Dongsheng. At the same time, the school asked the teacher Wei to track Wei Dongsheng’s detailed family information, to see if he could communicate directly with Wei Dongsheng’s parents and use family pressure to force Wei Dongsheng to obey school discipline.

When the school came out, it was already Friday evening.

This week, the school week, students hurried home after taking the exam. Teacher Wei, the head teacher, went back to Class 9 and walked around and asked the students who were still in the classroom, and learned that Wei Dongsheng had already handed in his papers and left school. Teacher Wei, the head teacher, didn't have Wei Dongsheng's mobile phone number, so she had to keep the result in her heart and talk to Wei Dongsheng until next Monday.

However, Teacher Wei, the head teacher, was destined to be disappointed.

Wei Dongsheng reconciled with Huo Yongshan on Saturday, and played with his girlfriend Ginguo on Sunday, and rushed back to Yanjing in the dark that night. Teacher Wei, the head teacher, came to see Wei Dongsheng again on Monday. An empty table was greeted and Wei Manman handed it out and then played the request for leave. He was depressed all day.

Back in Yanjing, Wei Dongsheng briefly inspected Chunqiu Network and Chunqiu Software, and finally arrived at the seed download artifact project.

The seed download artifact project is currently managed by Wei Dongsheng’s assistants Chang Mingxia and Lei Jiafei.

In his previous life, Lei Jiafei was nicknamed Kuaijian Afei. As his name suggests, he made quick moves when he opened up the market, and he often hit the core target without waiting for his opponent to react.

In her previous life, Chang Mingxia's achievements were even more remarkable.

In the previous life, the head of Tencent was Jia Wenqing. Jia Wenqing's father became rich overnight by selling health products in the 1990s, and Jia Wenqing became a famous rich second generation in Shenhai.

Before the Internet bubble crisis, Ma Huateng felt that QQ's technical content was extremely low, and it was difficult to succeed in the instant messaging market in the Red Sea where similar products coveted, so he sold QQ everywhere. Ma Huateng negotiated with Shenpeng Telecom Data Bureau. Ma Huateng insisted on selling 1 million yuan, but Shenpeng Telecom Bureau was only willing to invest 600,000 yuan. At the moment when the negotiation was about to break down, Jia Wenqing visited Shen Peng Telecom Data Bureau and accidentally ran into Ma Huateng, and decided on the spot to acquire Tencent at a premium of 2 million yuan.

Jia Wenqing is very optimistic about the future of the instant messaging market and promised to invest 100 million yuan to expand Tencent's business and warmly invite Ma Huateng to continue operating QQ. Jia Wenqing especially valued Ma Huateng, saying that Ma Huateng himself is more valuable than QQ. The premium of 1.4 million yuan from 600,000 to 2 million yuan is all to subdue Ma Huateng. However, Ma Huateng thought for a few days, but shook his head and rejected Jia Wenqing's invitation, because he refused a premium of 2 million yuan, and finally sold it to Jia Wenqing for auspicious figure of 880,000 yuan.

Ten years later, the market value of Tencent rushed to 370 billion US dollars.

Jia Wenqing's gracious invitation to Ma Huateng turned into a black joke of netizens mocking Ma Huateng: "Brother, I am optimistic about you, you are more valuable than QQ."

In fact, Ma Huateng is not bad at all. After selling Tencent at a low price, Ma Huateng continued to engage in business and accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars in assets intermittently. He is a successful person. It is a pity that his assets of several hundred million yuan are insignificant compared with Tencent's market value of 370 billion. Under the strong contrast, Ma Huateng is a successful person, but he was hacked by netizens and became the first blind person in China.

As a digression, Wei Dong ordered cyanobacteria, green algae and other computer intelligent life to search for information on Jia Wenqing's family a few days ago, and was surprised to find that Jia Wenqing's father was not in the health product market in this world. After continuing to track, Wei Dongsheng found a piece of information with horror. Jia Wenqing and his father died in a car accident in the 1990s. Jia Wenqing and his father returned to the underworld before they were in the health care product market. Without Jia Wenqing’s wisdom to know people, Ma Huateng made a round and never sold QQ to the base price he could accept. Only then did he continue to operate Tencent with a tasteless attitude. On the eve of the dot-com bubble, I was lucky to get an investment of US$2.2 million from IDG and Pacific Century Digital.

Looking back at Jia Wenqing, his rise has not been smooth sailing. At the end of 2003, the Jia Wenqing family encountered a political and economic double crisis, the capital chain was broken, and Tencent faced a life and death crisis. As the so-called wind knows the grass, Chang Mingxia led Tencent into the online game industry at this critical moment, and the first online game made a substantial profit, alleviating Tencent’s death crisis; in the past three years, Chang Mingxia has been cut. Captured by rivals such as NetEase, Giant, and Shanda, topped Huaguo as the No. 1 online game manufacturer in 2007, and firmly monopolized the throne until 2018.

Chang Mingxia was the Tencent savior no one questioned in her previous life.

Chang Mingxia has already proven her ability in her previous life. Although she is only an artist at this time, Wei Dongsheng is still willing to believe in her talent. In fact, Chang Mingxia was not born with the power of the game industry in her previous life. At the time, Tencent was panicked and no one was available, so she was driven to the shelves to negotiate agency contracts with game developers. Wei Dongsheng has every reason to believe that Chang Mingxia can quickly awaken her talent and sensitivity in the game industry after a period of assistant training.

Stop the gossip for now.

When Wei Dongsheng arrived at the office where the Seed Download Artifact Project was located, Chang Mingxia folded her hands together and only put her index fingers together against her chin, staring thoughtfully at the LCD screen. Wei Dongsheng grinds a cup of coffee, took a sip, and walked to Chang Mingxia's table: "Telephone 29 said that the total number of downloads of the seed download artifact exceeded 500,000. How many are they now?"

Chang Mingxia was taken aback. He saw that it was Wei Dongsheng and hurriedly answered: "The latest data is 685,000."

Wei Dongsheng praised: "On the 29th, the total number of downloads was 500,000; on the morning of the 31st, the total number of downloads was 685,000, which is a good growth rate."

Chang Mingxia explained: "The main reason is that our products have caused a topic on the Internet, which has invisibly expanded the impact. The number of new downloads on the 27th is a full 184,000. However, the topic has its advantages and disadvantages. Several days after the popular forums became popular, programmers and other more professional technicians focused on our seed download artifact. Some technical forums appeared to attack the bitstream protocol, accusing the seed download artifact of rogue software. The user agrees to privately upload the data downloaded by the torrent artifact."

Wei Dongsheng: "How did you deal with it?"

Chang Mingxia: "Lei Jiafei is dealing with it, trying to guide the public opinion of the technology forum and interpret the greatness of the bitstream protocol in the spirit of information sharing."

Wei Dongsheng walked around to Lei Jiafei's small office. Lei Jiafei was crackling and quickly tapping the keyboard. Approaching and staring at the LCD screen, it turns out that Lei Jiafei was using a vest to interpret the bitstream protocol on the forum. He argued that the spirit of information sharing in both downloading and uploading is the cornerstone of the Internet, and that these downloads and uploads do not involve user privacy. Perhaps technicians can quickly understand the principles of the bitstream protocol, and rationally understand that the so-called data upload has nothing to do with user privacy. This forum has been quietly changed by Lei Jiafei and discussed the specific technology of the bitstream protocol.

Seeing that everything was fine, Wei Dongsheng did not disturb Lei Jiafei, and silently returned to his desk.

Wei Dongsheng activates the statistical sub-function of the computer's intelligent life, and instantly displays the market share of the seed download artifact, which is about 4.3%. It went online on October 21. In just ten days, the seed download artifact looted 4.3% of the market share, which is enough to witness its invincible posture like a broken bamboo.

Looking at the entire download tool market, 4.3% is not enough.

The current leader in the download tool market is FlashGet (Express) with deep roots. In the past, FlashGet also rose by technological innovation, relying on multi-threaded downloads and resumable downloads to defeat the old NetAnts (network ants) and win the first share of the market. Today, FlashGet is old and not dead, with a market share of about 45%.

The top spot in the download tool market is the long-established veteran NetAnts, with a market share of approximately 19.2%.

The search flower in the download tool market is StreamVCR, which was born with the topic of streaming media, with a market share of approximately 10.4%.

The fourth place in the download tool market is the replacement product NetTransport (network conveyor belt), which was born because StreamVCR only supports single-threaded download defects, with a market share of about 9.9%. Speaking of it, NetTransport is very sad. It combines the advantages of FlashGet and StreamVCR and is the new darling of the download tool market. November 2002 and December 2002 were just in its infancy. The market share increased slightly every day, and it was only a matter of time before it surpassed StreamVCR. Unexpectedly, a more excellent seed downloading artifact turned out to be a blow to the upward trend of NetTransport.

The four softwares, FlashGet, NetAnts, StreamVCR, and NetTransport, have low technical gold content and lack financial support. Like the two older generations of FlashGet and NetAnts, their version iteration speed is very slow, and now they cannot perfectly support streaming media downloads, which indirectly led to the rise of StreamVCR and NetTransport.

Wei Dongsheng can understand the slowness of FlashGet and NetAnts.

In fact, it is still a matter of money.

The problem of profitability of download tools has always been a big problem. Not to mention that FlashGet and NetAnts at this moment are the next generation of famous download software to replace them, and it is extremely difficult to feed themselves through pure download business. If downloading tools want to survive and make money, they often attach a large number of disgusting cheap advertisements, provoke users to dislike them and then uninstall them, and then usher in the ceiling of market share. The masters behind FlashGet and NetAnts lack sufficient funds to operate. How can they keep up with the market and update the version in time?

Wei Dongsheng is different.

Wei Dongsheng didn't expect to make money from downloading the artifact, he invested millions in promotion expenses.

With the advantages of advertising promotion and technical experience, the seed download artifact is definitely capable of catching up with the four software quickly.
