Chapter 1898 Angel
However, Mai Xiaomiao's appearance surprised Zhou Zhi even more. This girl is a foreigner. It would not be surprising if she knew Guan Tingting, but the Big Baozi band who recently became the "red singer" also Do you have fans in the United States?
After asking, I found out that Mai Xiaomiao also knew them from the forum. In the past, there was very little Chinese information on the Internet, but now it is different.
After the global unified use of a Chinese code, everyone discovered that there are actually a lot of Chinese users on the Internet.
So everyone talked about the current portal website again.
In the life when Zhou Zhichuan came over, China had two interconnections before 1995. The first time was on March 2, 1993. The Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences rented AT&T's international satellite line and built a 64K dedicated line. , connected to the SLAC National Laboratory at Stanford University in the United States, becoming China's first dedicated line to access the Internet.
Then on April 20, 1994, promoted by President Hu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, researchers from the Computer Network Information Center used the NCFC project loaned by the World Bank to open another 64K dedicated line.
From this day on, China entered the era of Internet access as a country.
But at this time, the Internet was actually something that ordinary people could not see or touch.
Until January this year, China Telecom opened two INTERNET nodes in the capital and Shanghai.
At first, these two nodes could only be regarded as an explanation for strengthening openness between the two countries. Originally, this was a business undertaken by Sprint, one of the world's three major telecommunications giants. As a result, Sprint really looked down upon this " "Small Business" and subcontracted it to AsiaInfo, an Internet business company established by a group of Chinese Americans.
AsiaInfo only had ten people in total, and it was actually a very grassroots team at the time. In fact, the business value Sprint received was two million US dollars. However, when Sprint subcontracted it to AsiaInfo, it only It cost two hundred thousand dollars.
Even so, AsiaInfo has become a "pig in the spotlight". When their entrepreneurial boss Liu Yadong came to China, he couldn't help but complain.
Because he found that Sprint gave up this piece of fat because of deep considerations.
China is not the Internet desert that everyone imagines. There is already a giant crocodile here that is eyeing it - the Clover Group.
Clover had already rented more advanced satellite lines at that time, established the Southwest Campus Network, and connected universities all over the country. At the same time, it had also completed preparations for almost all Internet applications in the later period, from browsers with search guidance functions to mature architectures. BBS, real-time communication software, portals, etc.
As for Liu Yadong, who is also complaining endlessly, there are actually three "big guys" who have just resigned and gone to work.
But the big guys are still little crabs now. They have just founded their own company.
Ding Lei built his own BBS in Ningbo, Ma Huateng created PonySoft, and Ma Yun created China Yellow Pages.
What a misfortune.
Which BBS is better? Of course Clover Forum. So Ding Lei cried.
What does PonySoft do? It was just a "BBS-like website" built at home using a CFido architecture server and four phone lines. Even Ding Lei's BBS couldn't do it, so Ma Huateng also cried.
The Chinese Yellow Pages itself is a very good idea, but I encountered the "Chinese Enterprise Yellow Pages" created by Clover. This Yellow Pages also has the official background of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and has registered many international famous national enterprises and brands. The domain name was protected before the majority of enterprises were aware of it, and then returned to the enterprise free of charge. Only maintenance fees were charged. This has created an excellent reputation among management departments and enterprise users.
Now it also has a search function, and has even begun to try to link upstream and downstream customers, so Ma Yun also cried. Nowadays, it is very difficult to access the website. For example, Ma Huateng's PonySoft with four phone lines. According to the records of "China Computer Users" magazine: reporters often have to dial ten or twenty times to get in. In addition, there are too few lines and restrictions. As long as the user stays on the site, a new user only has a few minutes to connect to the Internet.
Clover's automatic reconnection and breakpoint resume technology can solve these problems very well.
Fortunately, these people themselves are also senior users of the Clover Forum. The Clover Group has been paying attention to their development and extended a helping hand in time when everyone was feeling difficult.
To put it in the words of being thoughtful and extremely beautiful, even a four-leaf clover has been caught in the rain, so even though I only have a broken umbrella, I still want to cover it for others.
Hu Tianyu once slandered the boss behind his back. The boss had always been hiding in the shadow of giants and eventually became a fat man that even a giant could not ignore. How could he ever get wet in the rain? ?
Isn’t the rain blocked by giants?
However, Hu Changfeng greatly appreciated Zhou Zhi’s words. Lao Hu was the one who had really been exposed to the rain. The failure of Project 908 really put the country’s chip industry in turmoil. What was it like to stay in the ministry during those years? No one knows the taste better than him.
In the national information industry, both soft and hard legs must be strong to be able to move forward. No one understands this better than him.
So he personally went to the ministry and organized the Clover Group, AsiaInfo, and Qiu, Lei, Ma, and Ding who were just about to go to Haibo Lang and were named by Zhou Zhi one by one. , held a meeting at the Ministry of Electronics Industry.
At the meeting, Clover Group agreed to transfer relevant technologies to five people and provide financial support to help them develop in China's Internet industry.
Among them, Lei got the advanced architecture code of the Clover Forum and could use JAVA to develop his own new BBS.
Ding got another set of codes from the Clover Group, which was also developed based on JAVA. He could freely set news pages and other content. The group called it a "portal".
Malaysia has obtained the server maintenance outsourcing contract of "China Enterprise Yellow Pages" and can build a yellow pages and business matching system with real national influence.
Erma got the maintenance outsourcing contract of KuoKou software and devoted himself to the research and development of real-time chat software.
Lei Ze continued to work in his old profession and started an outsourcing business for Clover anti-virus software, continuing to play with viruses and firewalls.
Because the Clover Group provides the main development technology and funds, this is very different from the "angel investment" approach, so the shares it holds in a company of several people are quite large, as requested of the company, Clover Group even holds as high as 70% of the shares.
In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of several people, Zhou Zhi proposed a proposal that no one could refuse, that is, for five years, the group will not interfere with their operations, and after five years, they will be allowed to buy back shares, or dilute Clover's share ratio through capital increase and share expansion, until it is reduced to less than 50%, or even reduced to a proportion that cannot affect the entrepreneur's decision-making even if he votes against it at the shareholders' meeting.
In the eyes of several big bosses who were still little shrimps, Clover's actions really made him an angel with a halo.
Only Zhou Zhi knows how much return his investment in these few people will bring him in the future.
