The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide

Slow is fast, this principle was realized by Zhou Xin when he was studying.

When Zhou Xin received exam-oriented education in Huaguo before, the reason why he was able to enter the junior class of Huaguo University of Science and Technology at the age of 16 had a lot to do with his understanding of this truth.

When a student is doing a lot of questions, he is thinking about the relationship between knowledge points, and associating his wrong questions with knowledge points, so that learning can be targeted.

The speed of brushing the questions is fast, but it is effective if you do not go in the right direction.

The same methodology is effective when dealing with exam-oriented education, and it can also come in handy when running a business.

For an enterprise, the strategic direction is very important.

After Zhou Xin came to this era, when he realized that he needed to help Huaguo's semiconductor industry chain achieve a certain breakthrough, he knew that the first thing he had to do was to think clearly about the specific context of the entire plan.

First of all, if he is all on his own, even if he travels back from 2030, he will not be able to make domestic alternatives for the entire industry chain.

This must rely on Huaguo's own strength, from talent training to business incubation to climbing up the low-end industry.

Emerging investment has taken on the heavy responsibility of industrial investment.

As for whether the task of emerging investment should be explained so clearly to Wu Shiqiang, Zhou Xin decided to tell him after a long time of thinking.

Because he will not return to China in a short time, Wu Shiqiang is the specific implementer. If he is not told why he is doing this, even if Wu Shiqiang is asked to investigate semiconductor companies, he will only start from the perspective of revenue and profit.

Talent in the field of semiconductors is far more important than profits, not to mention Huaguo, where the entire industry is blank.

As for telling outsiders about the strategic plan, this is only a small part of the strategic plan. Secondly, even if Wu Shiqiang told the Americans that they would not invest money in emerging investments after they knew it, at least not before 2010.

American did not regard Huaguo as a competitor at all in the early days. In 1999, you told the American government that Huaguo wanted to develop its own integrated circuit industry. To China, where labor costs are lower.

Secondly, American investors will not invest in you because you invest in the integrated circuit field, which is even more impossible.

From the perspective of Zhou Xin's future generations, even if he invests part of his money in the integrated circuit field, he can still guarantee an annual return of more than 20%. The return rate alone is here, and American Capital will not invest. Europa, Neon, Lion Investment institutions in the city will also come to your door with money.

The field of integrated circuits is a highly subdivided and specialized field. No one can understand all fields. Even a manager only understands the management of fields he is familiar with.

So Zhou Xin first abandoned the idea that it was all on his own.

The same holds true for specific business operations.

Zhou Xin only had experience in managing hundreds of people before, and integrated circuit companies are completely different from Internet companies.

After arriving in Silicon Valley at the end of the 20th century, whether it was Riot Games or NewPay, Zhou Xin chose to hand over the management to experienced managers. He was only responsible for strategy and products.

The game community and electronic payment are very mature products in later generations, and there are many cases for reference.

Needless to say about the game community, Zhou Xin just combined Steam, Douban and Baidu Tieba to create a stitched product.

Electronic payment, the mobile payment war in the later Huaguo, WeChat Pay and Alipay are fighting happily, and foreign paypal and eBay's Billpoint are also fighting happily.

WeChat Pay and Alipay fought in the decade from 2010 to 2020, while Paypal and Billpoint fought hard at the beginning of the millennium.

Ebay chose to acquire paypal after the Billpoint struggle failed.

However, only Quora and Zhihu can learn from the ecology of the Q\u0026A community.

Later generations of quora and Zhihu chose the invitation system in the early stage, and later gradually opened up the permission for more users to register accounts.

Whether they did what they did, Quora in 1999 should also do what they did, Zhou Xin never thought so.

So regarding this issue, Zhou Xin also thought about it for a while. After thinking about it, he decided not to open the registration authority on a large scale for now out of a practical point of view.

"Obviously this question is yes, even if we open up user registration on a large scale, these Internet companies will also be a knowledge question-and-answer community.

Since we cannot avoid competing with them head-on, what we need to do is to build our own community ecology.

Why is it that after the launch of the Riot Electronics Community, the Yahoo Game Community was launched not long after, but the Yahoo Game Community is not comparable to Riot in terms of page views and active users?

Because the fist electronics community has a good ecology and rich content, Yahoo can only mechanically carry the propaganda of game developers.

Fist is a vital creation based on the developer's publicity.

Similarly, as long as Quora has a healthy ecology and has enough valuable content, even if the number of users in other knowledge question and answer communities is ten times that of ours.

Once we open user registration, their users will naturally come to our community. "

Seeing Jimmy Wells and Larry Sanger nodding again and again, Zhou Xin continued: "Of course, we don't do nothing.

I think we also need to do something to deal with it.

First of all, we do not open the verification code to the outside world in the American area, and then adopt an application system. If a user wants to have a Quora account, let him apply, set a threshold, and at least a master's degree or above can apply.

The second is to promote this product to the Europa region, which is also only open to experts and scholars in the Europa region, as well as some doctors and masters.

We need to accumulate the thickness of the content.

American scholars alone are not thick enough.

Then, for those users who don’t have a master’s degree and want to apply for a Quora account, they are given two ways to register an account. One is to do the questions and set up a question bank, and then randomly select 100 questions for the exam when registering, and set a score line. How many points to register successfully.

This score line can be stuck, or it can be a ratio.

For example, 10,000 people registered on the same day, and after the exam was sorted, the top 100 registered successfully. "

Find experts and scholars in the Europa region to register on Quora. Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wells can understand that the more scholars there are, the more professional content they have. This is what Zhou Xin said.

The latter exam really sounded silly to the two of them. They can still play like this. They have some doubts about life.

"Newman, would our users really want to take the test just to register for an account?"

Zhou Xin laughed. Every user who registers an account at station B in the future will have to take a test, and those users are not obedient to the test.

Today's Internet practitioners are still too young to underestimate users' self-PUA capabilities.
