Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

Wang Dana drove An Xin to the outskirts of Futian, where there was a newly opened restaurant. Wang Dana had heard about this restaurant on the recommendation of others, so they could just come here to solve the dinner problem.

This restaurant specializes in authentic Cantonese cuisine. Although there are no new ways of eating, they are all traditional Cantonese dishes, but the signature dishes are quite good, fresh and delicious.

Especially the old hen ginseng soup, which is both delicious and nutritious. Just this bowl of soup is completely worth it for the two of them to drive half an hour to come here for a meal.

After finishing their meal, the two returned directly to the old Planning Commission staff quarters.

Wang Dana's home is in room 202, which is not on the same floor as An Xin's.

So after driving into the public parking lot of the family compound, An Xin said goodbye to Wang Dana directly and returned to her home in Room 301, Building No. alone.

After An Xin returned home, she went straight to the bedroom, took out a set of pajamas, and ran straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Anxin walked back to the hall feeling refreshed and began to tidy up the tea sets on the tea table.

After everything was done, An Xin walked back to the sofa in the hall and sat down. She took her cell phone and checked the time. It was 21:10.

Hey, this is a good opportunity to chat on the phone with Li Hong.

So he called Li Hong directly, and then the two of them began to express their love for each other and told each other how much they missed each other.

Half an hour passed by the time we finished this sweet phone call.

An Xin, who had some free time, did not plan to check the copper futures market. Instead, he directly manipulated his mouse to open a blank document and began to draft a plan for the Internet project Weibo.

What were you most afraid of when working on Internet projects in 2006?

The answer is that I am most afraid of encountering plagiarism from Penguin!

At this time, Penguin was a notorious copycat king in the industry.

As long as a new project has some traffic and becomes popular online, that project will be in trouble. Penguin will simply copy a similar project within a month and embed it into Tencent's social system.

Faced with Penguin, which has 6 million registered users and more than 2000 million users online at the same time, most startups are completely powerless and desperate.

Suing is almost useless, and many companies have even gone bankrupt due to the run on Penguins during the prosecution stage.

Even if some companies manage to survive until the verdict is handed down, they will certainly be disappointed, because at most Penguin will be ordered to pay compensation of 300,000 or 400,000 yuan.

Penguin also abides by the law and will definitely compensate you, but it will continue to copy your project and does not care about winning or losing at all.

The main dish is the rolled meat.

An Xin has sufficient plans for this kind of thing that is bound to happen.

What is the most important thing about the Internet?

Functional innovation and publicity!

Functional innovation is easy to understand. It means constantly introducing new products for the project you are going to do, enriching the user experience and improving user stickiness.

Promotion is also very important. In this day and age, even good wine needs to be hidden in a bush. You have to let users know about the existence of such a project, how fun the project is, and how well it meets the needs of users. These all need to be promoted, otherwise not many people will use it.

Anxin has enough ideas for the Weibo project.

First of all, he didn't plan to launch a mature version of Weibo right from the start, as that would be meaningless.

Because one month after you go online, Penguin will be able to launch something with the same function, and by then you will most likely still not be able to beat Penguin.

So skills are very important.

Anxin planned to create an initial version of Weibo, which would only provide basic functions for ordinary users, such as registration, text publishing with a 139-character limit, picture publishing, forwarding, following, commenting, searching, private messaging, and long blogging. These basic functions could fully meet the usage needs of netizens in 2006.

However, in addition to ordinary users, the company also plans to directly launch channels for stars, celebrities, media and other users, and provide these users with fast and free authentication channels, specific promotion channels, etc., to create an online business card.

As long as the above functions are realized and the website is launched, it will definitely be the most functional social networking site, able to beat all the current social networking sites in the world.

Anxin also plans to add other functions gradually after Weibo goes online and attracts enough basic users.

In this way, through this rapid iteration strategy, a siphon effect can be quickly formed, completely driving Penguin and other competitors out of the social platform market for sharing and communication.

After listing all the functions of the initial version of Weibo one by one, An Xin saved the document, logged directly into the commonly used 163 mailbox, uploaded the document, and sent it directly to He Weidong's mailbox, preparing to let him think about the relevant technical issues.

After sending the message successfully, An Xin took out her cell phone and called He Weidong.

"Hey, Anxin, I was just thinking of calling you to report on the progress of recruiting technical personnel."

The call was quickly connected, and He Weidong's series of statements came immediately from the microphone.

It seems that He Weidong has not been idle during these days when he returned to his hometown.

An Xin smiled and nodded, then said into the microphone: "Weidong, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

“Well, it’s like this, after I got home, I started contacting some technical bigwigs I knew in the industry.

I had a preliminary discussion with them about the projects the company was going to undertake, the initial salary packages, etc.

The effect is very good. Currently, 16 technicians who can program independently have agreed to give it a try in our company.

Some technical personnel may need to wait until we register the company and determine the office location before considering trying our company.

So don't worry, you should quickly register a company and rent an office.

Once you have settled these, I will let them go directly to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and then we can discuss the specific salary and benefits with them."

An Xin was very happy to hear He Weidong talking about the good news with a little excitement.

It was totally unexpected that He Weidong convinced 16 technicians in just three days.

As for other technical personnel, they will most likely be able to be brought over once the company is registered and office space is in place.

It seems that He Weidong has really done his best. He is worthy of being my chosen technical partner. He is so capable!

An Xin smiled rather narcissistically, and then decided to give He Weidong some rich man shock: "Weidong, in fact, the company's business license has been issued, but there are still some permits that are being processed, so it will take a few days.

As for office space, I have already rented one in the CBD business district, 3360 square meters, absolutely high-end and classy!

Everything is ready, we just need the right time, and we are waiting for you technicians to arrive!"

Perhaps he was shocked by An Xin's generosity, He Weidong did not speak immediately. After a while, he stammered, "3...3360 square meters? CBD business district? How much will it cost? Isn't it too expensive? We still need a lot of money for subsequent development."

"Haha, don't worry, money is not a problem. What you need to do is to recruit more technical talents and do a good job of our technical reserve." An Xin laughed and thought about the initial concept of Weibo. He added: "By the way, Weidong, I have sorted out the materials for the initial concept of Weibo and sent it to your email. Please study the structure as soon as possible to see if there are any difficulties."

He Weidong hummed, and then said, "Don't hang up, I'll check my email now."

Soon, the sound of He Weidong typing on the keyboard came from the microphone. After about three or four minutes, He Weidong spoke: "Anxin, I took a quick look at the information you sent, and my preliminary judgment is that there are no technical difficulties in achieving it, and it is completely possible to achieve the effect you want."

An Xin burst into laughter when he heard this. He really didn't understand technology and wasn't sure if there were any technical difficulties in implementing the functions of Weibo at the moment. Now with the judgment of He Weidong, the technical partner, he could feel at ease to push forward the subsequent related plans.

After calming down, An Xin said to He Weidong: "Weidong, come to Shenzhen Stock Exchange as soon as possible. In this way, we can communicate and solve any problems as soon as possible."

He Weidong on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said firmly, "Then I won't wait until mid-July. I'll fly directly to Shenzhen the day after tomorrow."

An Xin was very happy to hear this and said directly: "Okay, I'll wait for you in Shenzhen, see you the day after tomorrow!"

Afterwards, the two discussed some company issues and chatted until almost 12 a.m. before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, An Xin sat on the sofa and began to think about tomorrow's arrangements.

It’s so inconvenient without a car. I’m going to buy one tomorrow morning!
