Back To 1995

   Chapter 287 Crazy Years

  Ying Haiwei has the most staff, not the technology development department, but the promotion department, that is, advertising.

   The technology department is busy now, not to improve Yinghaiwei's most profitable online business technology, but to engage in "exchange center system", "online payment system", and the most fashionable "online game" business.

Is there anything wrong with these businesses? Of course there is nothing wrong, and it can even be said to be ahead of the curve, but now Yinghaiwei, the most profitable business is the Internet business, that is, dial-up Internet access through Yinghaiwei, and Yinghaiwei makes money from that level. Toll!

   Unlike America, what Yinghaiwei does is to act as an agent for these domestic telecommunication lines, and then charge through users, and the bulk of the collection is handed over to telecommunication operators.

Domestic telecommunications lines belong to post and telecommunications operators and telecom operators. The bulk of the Internet access fee is also the telephone fee generated by dial-up Internet access, which is taken away by the two departments of post and telecommunications and telecommunications. What Yinghaiwei can earn is that meager. Tolls, nominally "access service charges".

  AOL can make much more money than Yinghaiwei, and Yinghaiwei can't touch the capable business of AOL.

Even so, Yinghaiwei doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the "access service business". Song Yang saw Shutong call and complain about Yinghaiwei's disconnection problem in just a few minutes in the technical department. But Ying Haiwei didn't seem to care much.

   After receiving the call, he just hung up the phone perfunctorily. It is not difficult to solve this problem technically, but Yinghaiwei's technical department seems to be a little indifferent, and Song Yang only knew why Yinghaiwei did this after asking.

At present, there are not many domestic sites, and a large part of users visit foreign sites. However, the longer and more frequent visits to foreign sites, the higher the fee to be paid to telecom operators, and Yinghaiwei has to post it backwards Money to telecommunications and post and telecommunications there.

In this case, it is not surprising that the problem of "dropping" occurs. Yinghaiwei has no interest in solving this problem, and even wants to drop several times, so that domestic users do not visit foreign websites. , Yinghaiwei can also lose some money, not only Yinghaiwei, but also several other companies that provide access to Internet services have also lost money and are struggling to support.

  When Song Yang saw this, he could only shake his head and sigh. Ying Haiwei's situation is like this, and the situation of other domestic Internet companies can be imagined.

   "Yinghaiwei now has more than 20,000 registered users, of which more than 8,000 have subscribed to Hotmail, and provide Internet services to more than 200 companies!"

   After visiting Yinghaiwei, Zhang Shuxin, Song Yang, Zhang Songcheng and others entered the conference room. Basically, it was a process. Under the witness of electronic information and other departments, the two sides reached a cooperation.

Zhang Shuxin talked to Song Yang and others about the situation of Yinghaiwei, "At present, Yinghaiwei has a variety of services such as forums, mailboxes, Internet information, etc., and is now developing a Yinghaiwei Internet program, users need this program software to Internet access, which is expected to increase a large portion of the payment ratio!”

Hearing this, Song Yang finally couldn't help but said to Zhang Shuxin, "Is it necessary to launch this kind of program? Users are now accustomed to the current way of surfing the Internet. They use Yinghaiwei because Yinghaiwei can provide them with Forums, e-mails and other services, rather than having to surf the Internet through Yinghaiwei!"

   This is like, it used to be able to surf the Internet directly, but now Yinghaiwei insists on using this software to surf the Internet, which can certainly increase the charging ratio, but for users, it is just taking off the pants and farting, without any benefit, but more troublesome.

   But after hearing Song Yang's words, a technical director of Ying Haiwei immediately said, "This Internet access system was developed by us with a lot of manpower, technology and funds, how can we give up like this?!"

   Hearing the technical director's words, Song Yang didn't know what to say for a while.

   And Irene, Whitman and others were surprised when they saw that someone refuted Song Yang's words.

Not to mention here, as the founder of DoubleClick, ICQ, and Hotmail, Song Yang's achievements in Internet products are unmatched in Silicon Valley. Now these two websites are far away in terms of product design and functional experience. Ahead of its peers, it is regarded as a classic website, and the viral marketing of Hotmail mailboxes has been selected by Harvard and Stanford Business School.

   Even rivals such as Netscape, Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL, and Softbank have never doubted Song Yang's talent and vision in the Internet industry, so he is being questioned here?

Zhang Songcheng, who was sitting on the side, also frowned at this time. He was chosen as the person to receive Song Yang this time. He naturally understood the Internet, and what could be questioned by Song Yang, Zhang Songcheng did not dare to say that there must be a problem, but he was sure. Certainly not so good.

   The reason that Ying Haiwei put forward is that this Internet access system can't be given up because it spends too much money. This reason makes Zhang Songcheng not know what to say.

   Zhang Shuxin doesn't actually care much about Internet products. What she wants to do is to keep Yinghaiwei famous and let more domestic users use Yinghaiwei to surf the Internet. For others, she doesn't really care much.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Zhang Shuxin changed the topic, "Mr. Song, ICQ's acquisition of Xue Leshan to enter the online game industry, I think it is the most important decision. In the future, the game industry will be one of the most important industries in the Internet. Yinghaiwei is also developing the online game business, and will complete the development of more than ten high-level online game projects by next year!

   Zhang Shuxin's sense of smell and vision of the Internet, he didn't say anything at all, and he could see the trend of the Internet, but he was too hasty.

   Irene, who is in charge of ICQ and Xue Leshan, was stunned when she heard that Yinghaiwei was going to develop ten high-level online games in this year.

Xue Leshan also has its own game studio. It takes at least one or two years to develop a game. Blizzard develops a game. The average cycle is more than two years, and it is getting slower and slower. The game on Wei's side is comparable to that of a prolific racing sow.

   In fact, Zhang Shuxin said that he was a little humble. Yinghaiwei's previous requirement for the game development department was to develop ten games within three months. Next year, Yinghaiwei's game revenue should reach more than 10 million yuan...

"Yinghaiwei's revenue will be greatly improved in the future. We hope that we can reach cooperation with Double-click, ICQ, eBay, America Telecom, etc.!" Zhang Shuxin seems to be very profitable for Yinghaiwei. Reasonable and confident.

On the contrary, Song Yang's side had to visit the group. At this time, all of them were confused. It was Ying Haiwei's side who was bragging too much. Double-click, ICQ, etc. would also brag, but they didn't dare to brag like that. Irene, Whitman, etc. all turned their attention to Song Yang.

At this time, Song Yang didn't know what he was thinking. After a long while, he said, "Asia Star Hope Fund can give Yinghaiwei a venture capital investment of more than 3 million US dollars, and provide Yinghaiwei with technical and other support. Double-click company can start cooperation with Yinghaiwei in Internet advertising business!"

   invested a sum of money in Yinghaiwei to let DoubleClick enter the domestic market, but Song Yang did not mention ICQ, eBay, America Telecom, etc.

Hearing this, Zhang Shuxin and the executives of Ying Haiwei felt a little abnormal in their hearts, but Irene, Omidyar and others were relieved and handed over ICQ and other business to Ying Haiwei. Really worried.

However, Song Yang did not allow ICQ and eBay to enter the domestic market, not only because Yinghaiwei was unreliable, but for future consideration. If ICQ entered the domestic market, then in the future, America's Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Trade, and Ministry of Legal Affairs Even when the FBI and other departments ask ICQ and others to hand over domestic user data, should Song Yang hand over it or not? !

   It's okay to invest money, but Song Yang has no plans to let ICQ, eBay, and America Telecom enter the domestic market!

Zhang Shuxin seemed to want to say something, but Song Yang had already got up and was about to leave the venue to visit Lao Zhang. At this time, Zhang Songcheng, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly said, "Mr. Song, I hope America Telecom can talk to Yinghai. Weiwei cooperates with telecom broadband technology!"

Song Yang's eyes met Zhang Songcheng's, and they both looked at each other. The domestic telecommunications industry is not conservative. Before he came to Song Yang, the parent company of the Alcatel mobile phone that he just bought had opened in China as early as ten years ago. It has established an office and has a considerable market share. In addition to Alcatel Telecom, there are Japanese benzene and European telecom giants, which are pioneering in China.

   So it seems reasonable to enter America Telecom, and Zhang Songcheng mentioned this to Song Yang, obviously not just wanting America Telecom to enter the domestic market.

Song Yang and Zhang Songcheng looked at each other for a while, and finally nodded, "America Telecom can invest five million US dollars in Yanjing to establish a telecommunications laboratory and introduce Bell Labs, which will be jointly developed by American Telecom, Bell Labs and Yinghaiwei. Telecommunications!"

It wasn't until Song Yang's figure left the conference room that Zhang Songcheng got up and slowly packed his things. There were many people who wanted to come to the domestic telecommunications market to get a piece of the pie, but there were not many companies who were willing to cooperate with China in technology. , Zhang Songcheng was also testing just now, but Song Yang agreed.

Song Yang's actions after coming to Yanjing are obviously completely different from those of the previous investors. It was a large-scale long-term investment. The foreign exchange that Song Yang has shed in the past two days is far more than the investment of some giant companies in China. .

   After packing up, going downstairs and boarding the car, Zhang Songcheng took out a report and began to write it. This is Zhang Songcheng's work report, which was also handed over to the head of the department.

  When Song Yang left Yinghaiwei and went to Lao Zhang's office, the venture capital department of the Star Wish Foundation was established, and the venture capital of 20 million US dollars has spread throughout the Internet industry.

   At this time, the news that the venture capital department of Star Wish Fund, the first investment, three million dollars was thrown into Ying Haiwei, through a large group of media, spread the news again!
