The strongest richest man training system

Chapter 231 Actions of all parties

At this time, in the headquarters of Yanjing Sohu Company.

In one of the conference rooms in the office area, there were five young and immature faces. They looked about 24, five or six years old, and they were of different ages. In addition, Zhang Chaoyang, the current general manager of Sohu Company, was sitting on the top, and there were six people sitting around at a round table.

What I have to say is that at this time in 1997, the real economy was still the mainstay in China, and the overall domestic environment was like this. From this, it is conceivable that the entrepreneurial atmosphere for novelty things like the Internet was not very good. Because the Internet is a novelty that does not seem real, and is too trendy and avant-garde, it has not been accepted and popularized by the public.

As for how bad the Internet industry atmosphere was in the late 90s?

To give the simplest example, what a decent job is a job like a programmer in the prosperity of the Internet in the future?

Take wages as an example, except for a few industries that have better treatment than IT, IT wages are definitely a relatively high industry.

However, at this moment in time, it is completely different.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the late 90s, if you said that you were doing code writing and programming, in the eyes of many people, you were as unemployed.

If you tell those middle-aged or older people that you start a business online, they will definitely think that you are not doing business properly, that you are a little extreme, and that your mind is a little abnormal.

Of course, not only the middle-aged people, many young people can't understand it, let alone pay attention to it.

The reason for this situation is mainly because the Internet at this moment is too advanced in China.

On the one hand, there are not many people in contact with it, and it has not really become popular.

On the other hand, even those people who have access to the Internet may not necessarily think of starting a business on the Internet. They have no capital, no technical background, and no such far-sighted ideas. Those ordinary Internet users are at most using the Internet to do something they like. , using the Internet as a new tool.

Who would have thought that the Internet economy would grow bigger and bigger in the future, and it would even create so many rich people?

There are not many people with such a unique vision, and even rarer are those who can really discover the opportunities that exist and have the courage to take action.

In the same way, most of those who dared to try on the Internet under such circumstances later became the number one person on the Internet.

The well-known and wealthy Internet tycoons in later generations are basically the group of people who started their businesses on the Internet in the late 90s and early 20th century.

And Zhang Chaoyang is one of them.

Zhang Chaoyang, who is just 33 years old this year, is a veritable top student.

Graduated from a top domestic university with a bachelor's degree, and later went to the United States to study abroad and obtained a doctorate from MIT.

Last year, that is, in 1996, Zhang Chaoyang, who returned from his studies, returned to China with venture capital and founded the company Sohu single-handedly.

It's just that Zhang Chaoyang spent more than a year exploring, and although he made a lot of website products, none of the websites really became popular.

Until the appearance of the Fuyi portal website, Zhang Chaoyang's eyes lit up, and he had the idea of ​​imitating, and immediately put into action and put all his efforts into launching the Sohu portal website.

Facts have proved that Zhang Chaoyang's decision is extremely correct.

Relying on its strong financial backing, Sohu portal has hired a large number of employees and relied on manpower to collect some different news content, successfully occupying a place in the field of portal websites.

After the website of Sohu's portal site was included in the navigation website this time, Zhang Chaoyang's website traffic had another leapfrog improvement.

The most direct benefit of this increase in traffic is that it brought a second round of financing to Zhang Chaoyang's Sohu company.

With more funds in his hands, Zhang Chaoyang instantly gained a lot of confidence.

At this time, Zhang Chaoyang cleared his throat: "Xiao Li, have you finished counting all the statistics that I asked you to count yesterday?"

The young man called Xiao Li by Zhang Chaoyang is one of the backbones of Sohu's technical department. Hearing Zhang Chaoyang's words, Xiao Li didn't dare to delay, and immediately responded: "Mr. Zhang, everything is done. This is the data."

After speaking, Xiao Li passed a piece of paper in his hand to Zhang Chaoyang.

Seeing this, Zhang Chaoyang immediately waved his hands and said with a smile, "While everyone is here, you can directly report at the meeting and let everyone listen."

Hearing this, Xiao Li nodded: "Okay."

After a while, according to the data collected this time, Xiao Li excitedly said: "Since our portal website was included, the current daily traffic of our portal website has exceeded 13. Compared with the previous data, it has doubled." More than doubled!"

Whoa! ! !
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar!

Surprised gazes looked at Xiao Li at the same time!
You must know that the Sohu portal website has only been included for a little over a week!

After a while, everyone in the meeting room started talking.

"My God, this increase in traffic is too exaggerated!"

"Let me tell you, the power of the navigation website is really terrifying!"

"I thought the traffic would increase, but I didn't expect it to be so abnormal!"

Zhang Chaoyang, who was sitting on the side, smiled. He didn't seem surprised by the result, but he interrupted: "Okay, everyone, don't be surprised, let Xiao Li continue talking."

Hearing this, Xiao Li nodded first, and then couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhang, the navigation website has such a great role in diverting traffic. I think we can also make a navigation website? That thing has no technical content at all. It is easy to make, as long as our navigation website is completed, then we can all promote our products in the future!"

"You think too much." Zhang Chaoyang shook his head with a smile, and said lightly: "First of all, the market position of the navigation website is very stable, and netizens are used to it. If we follow up and do it now, it will be difficult to divide it. A piece of the pie. In addition, the main function of the navigation website is to serve as a tool for Internet users to navigate the Internet. In terms of including URLs, the navigation website is not suitable for a particular product. This time they included our website. Does that make sense? So, it doesn’t make much sense for us to do that now.”

"You have to remember that we have to distinguish the current key development direction of our company. For us, the most important thing right now is the blog."
