Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 12 Wheat and Bread

Although full of curiosity, Meng Qian was still cautious about how to dig out the historical truth. He thought about it for a while, and considering that Zhang Shuxin had actually handed the "microphone" to him, Meng Qian decided to simply Slowly go through these things in a communicative way.

"Boss Zhang and I have two slightly different views. First of all, our current enterprises are indeed constantly copying things from the West, but if we look at this thing objectively, we will find it, otherwise?

The United States is ahead of the world in the development of the Internet. We want to develop the Internet and learn from others. In my opinion, this is a natural behavior to stand on the shoulders of giants and develop ourselves.

In addition, regarding the Internet bubble, I quite agree with Mr. Zhang's opinion. Maybe I don't know as much about the United States as Mr. Zhang. To be honest, I can't make a judgment on this matter, but I will make a bold guess on one point. The occurrence of the bubble crisis may not only be a collateral impact for Huaxia, but an opportunity.

As far as I know, most of the emerging Internet companies in China are now backed by foreign investors, including Alibaba, which has just received investment.

The root cause of the Internet bubble is not the Internet itself. There is nothing wrong with the Internet. The reason for the bubble is capital. But now Huaxia Capital has not realized how important the Internet is at all, so our local capital environment is abundant and can support our capital self-sufficiency after the Western bubble.

Moreover, we can learn from the advantages of others, and we can also learn from the failures of others. Once the Internet bubble occurs, we will not be greatly affected because the popularity of the Internet is still small after all, but a huge disaster will definitely occur in the United States .

At that time, Huaxia Internet companies would definitely have their own reflections when they saw the situation in the United States. If our Internet foundation is better in the next few years, not only will we not lose too much in this Internet bubble, but we may use history as a mirror to create a A more successful internet marketplace.

To be honest, I am really optimistic about our Chinese Internet market, because we have a population of more than one billion. "

After hearing Meng Qian's words, Zhang Shuxin smiled meaningfully, "Yes, this is an opportunity."

Looking at Zhang Shuxin's expression, Meng Qian felt inexplicably that Zhang Shuxin saw a deeper level, but this made people even more curious, why did she leave the Internet industry?

There is no reason.

Zhang Shuxin's next words gave Meng Qian a possible answer, "Xiao Meng, you forgot what I said, back to basics, the premise of the development of the Internet is the development of the Internet itself.

Do you know what was the one thing I did the most during the years when I founded Yinghaiwei? "

Meng Qian shook his head, and Zhang Shuxin continued, "It's an explanation. I keep explaining to the government and my peers. I try my best to tell them that the Internet is great. The advantages of the Internet outweigh the disadvantages. The Internet is future.

But they didn’t listen, they didn’t believe it. Let me give you an example. I went to Lenovo two years ago and asked them to make a network card on the computer, but the reply I got was, why install that thing.

Internet services have begun to develop, but everyone still maintains a conservative or even unfriendly attitude towards the Internet. Do you understand how ridiculous and terrible this is? "

When Zhang Shuxin said this, Meng Qian subconsciously understood something, because in his memory, he saw the two sentences that the media of later generations often said when interpreting Zhang Shuxin, namely, she was too advanced and the money for selling bread was not enough for her to grow wheat.

Meng Qian asked subconsciously, "So you have been trying to build the foundation yourself? You want to promote the development of the network yourself?"

Zhang Shuxin nodded affirmatively, but his expression was very helpless, "We lack the basic environment for the development of the Internet, but the problem is that this environment is firmly in the hands of the government.

We have no chance to fight, but they don't listen to our opinions, because they have been taught to be steady, conservative, and do less mistakes

I dare to bet you again, there are more than 100 e-commerce companies in Yanjing now, half of them have a relatively strong background, but they are likely to lose to the despised one in Hangzhou Eyed Ma Yun.

People here are too conservative. The Internet belongs to creative people. Although I don’t like Ma Yun very much, at least Ma Yun has such creativity and imagination. These companies here lack this kind of thing. "

Meng Qian came to his senses, "In other words, Mr. Zhang originally wanted to open a bakery. He wanted to make bread but found that there was no wheat, so he had to grow wheat by himself. But the problem is that the little money he makes from selling bread is not enough. To support you to grow wheat."

Zhang Shuxin showed a slightly surprised expression. She seemed to be savoring Meng Qian's words carefully, "Interesting, I didn't expect Xiao Meng's literary accomplishment to be very high."

Meng Qian laughed it off, and he couldn't take it. After all, it was said by the media of later generations, not him. He followed his own rhythm and asked, "Mr. Zhang, regardless of whether your persistence will be It’s like hitting the south wall, why don’t you consider selling bread more expensive? Wouldn’t it make up for the shortfall in growing wheat?”

"It's expensive and you have to sell it. You can buy a newspaper and read the news for only 50 cents. If you read the news online for an hour, I will charge you 50 yuan. Do you want to read it?

What's more, this is not what I imagine the future of the Internet will look like. "

"What does the future of the Internet look like in Mr. Zhang's eyes?" Meng Qian looked at the other party sincerely, he really wanted to know.

Zhang Shuxin didn't know if he was hesitating, so he waited for a few seconds before answering, "Hundreds of millions of netizens can harvest plants or even cultivate plants online, and they only need to pay a little Internet access fee or service fee within their ability."

Meng Qian's heart moved, his eyes shifted slightly, and his thoughts changed. Zhang Shuxin's words seemed to help Meng Qian straighten out the mess in his heart. He felt as if he understood the cause and effect of all this. .

Zhang Shuxin is indeed a very far-sighted person. He sees the Internet very far, and also sees a future where a hundred flowers bloom. However, in her perception, she seems to have packaged the Internet and services as a whole. You need to pay a one-time fee to use the network and services.

From Zhang Shuxin's previous expression, it can be seen that in her eyes, the key to this packaged thing lies in the service, but the profit of this service, that is, the bread is not high. money.

However, Zhang Shuxin completely underestimated the creative ability of Huaxia merchants. If she really thinks so now, I am afraid that Zhang Shuxin will see in later generations that QQ can still make so much money by selling QQ shows and various diamonds, which should subvert her belief. know.

If Zhang Shuxin really had such an idea, she should still want to be a service provider in essence, but seeing the slow development of Huaxia Network, she felt that it would not be a problem to continue like this, so she started to do it herself.

But as she said, things like the Internet are not like the West in China, and it is difficult to let them go to private companies, and later generations have proved this to be the case.

And in Meng Qian's view, this is normal, because the Internet is a two-sided thing. Once used improperly, the Internet is a "killing weapon". The Huaxia government will not allow this "killing weapon" to be let go.

Meng Qian didn't know if Zhang Shuxin understood this point.

Zhang Shuxin, who has this kind of thinking, will naturally face constant debts and losses. In the face of capital, she will naturally be kicked out. As a major shareholder of Xingfa, he bought shares to make money, not to accompany Zhang Shuxin to realize the big dream of building the Internet of.

If Meng Qian's guess is correct, the merits and demerits on this issue may not be as one-sided as later generations said.

But no matter what, Meng Qian who has such speculation feels that Zhang Shuxin is a pity, because she is really one of the very few people in this era who can see the Internet so far, and she did not expect that Internet services can have such a strong ability to make money , perhaps because of her "literati atmosphere".

In fact, many people have mentioned this problem. Zhang Shuxin is not suitable for a business because she is too emotional. As the boss of a new business, she has been traveling abroad in later generations, and her favorite thing to do is not managing the business, but following up with her Poetry friends drink tea and write poems.

Emotional people may indeed lack a little "creativity" in business.

Of course, all of this is just Meng Qian’s guess after all, but there is a certain basis. Meng Qian thinks that she is somewhat closer to her than what he knew about Zhang Shuxin in the past, and Zhang Shuxin really took the initiative to say a lot. Meng Qian knows that It's time to put dry goods
