Back to 1995

Chapter 295 The Butterfly Effect
Zhang Shuxin, Zhang Chaoyang, Lao Rong and others all appeared in this "Great Wall Photo" of the earliest generation of domestic Internet.

Song Yang gave up the C position to Martin Solo today. The things he came to China this time, igniting the wave of the domestic Internet, investing in mobile phone production bases, developing new LCD TVs, and researching and developing LCD panels, etc., are basically completed. Naturally, there is no need for any focus, and it will not steal the limelight from "Nahuang" Martin.

This time, Song Yang has basically done what he can do. Freezing three feet is not a one-day cold. Now there is a gap between the Internet and the technology industry in China and America, but it is more of a gap in concept and theory. Technically, to be honest, there has not actually been an insurmountable gap.

Song Yang came this time, apart from leaving a sum of venture capital for the domestic Internet industry, the rest is to bring the latest Internet and technology concepts to the domestic Internet industry. In the end, the domestic Internet tree will What kind of flowers will bear, it is unknown.

Martin Solo was in the front, followed by a large group of media and reporters, and walked on the Great Wall mightily. Martin Solo also invested heavily in the country this time, announcing that Ogilvy, Burson-Marsteller, JWT, Lanhan, Weida and other companies have entered the domestic market across the board.

In addition, WPP Group is signing cooperation agreements with Central Media, Yanjing TV, Shanghai TV, Guangdong Provincial TV and other local stations. Through these TV stations, magazines, newspapers, etc., it will bring users of WPP Group to the domestic market , showing the demeanor of the world's top advertising giants.

In terms of Internet advertising, WPP Group will continue to cooperate with Double Click in China, but this time it has added Ying Haiwei.

Song Yang followed behind leisurely. Tomorrow, he will go to Guangdong Province, the last stop in China, and then start his return journey. Song Yang is rarely in the mood to see the scenery of the Great Wall today.

Irene, Whitman, and Eiger were talking to each other, and they were not in the mood to look at the scenery at all. Song Yang was about to return, but for them, there were still many things to do. After leaving the country, they had to go to Bangzi, Singapore, Siam, Ah San and other markets to investigate and bring business there.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are. Regardless of how poor they are, they can squeeze oil out of them. There are big markets in Asia. As long as they can be captured, places like Ah San, even though Internet users and The market is not big yet, but the foundation is still there. After all, there are so many people, it may still be possible to make some money.

Gleick talked with Marcus, Fang Qiuyu, and Pan Jianghong. In the future, the American Investment Foundation and the Asia Star Wish Foundation will have to deal with each other, and the two sides will jointly handle Song Yang's industries and investments on both sides.

Omidyar, the founder of eBay, who was behind, chatted happily with the "Old Banyan" who was still unknown and hurried over. Lao Rong, who was with Omidyar, looked up at the figure in front from time to time look.

The "Old Banyan", 34 years old, is a [-]-year-old on the BBS forum. Other people's BBS forums are just bragging, but the "Old Banyan" Wang Juntao's action is beyond the charts, and he really rushed to Yanjing.

Originally, Wang Juntao was not eligible to enter the group photo just now, and could only be mixed with a group of reporters, but after Song Yang heard his name, he pulled him into the group photo.

In addition to liking football, Wang Juntao is also a good player in technology, and he can talk to Omidyar. Wang Juntao also worked as an engineer in Silicon Valley. In the 80s, he didn't have two brushes, but he couldn't get along in Silicon Valley.

The first person to connect to the Internet in Lingnan Minzhou is Wang Juntao. Now Wang Juntao is a Minzhou franchisee of Lianbang Software. Lianbang Software is the largest software seller in China. Before the Internet, computer software required hard disk installation. , users want to install office, anti-virus and even games, etc., they need to purchase software installation from Lianbang Software.

Wang Juntao is the franchisee with the highest sales volume among the franchisees of Lianbang Software, and even able to participate in Lianbang Software's headquarters plan. Now Wang Juntao is considered to have a small net worth, at least much higher than Zhang Chaoyang's!

When Song Yang came to China this time, the wind blown by butterflies still caused some waves. Wang Juntao, who had been in Silicon Valley before and spent time on forums after returning to China, was very interested in the Internet.

When he was in Silicon Valley, he had been exposed to e-commerce, but at that time, e-commerce in America was just in its infancy and had only a prototype.

But this time, the huge delegation brought by Song Yang, including the e-commerce eBay company, gave Wang Juntao the idea of ​​building an e-commerce company in China.

After all, Martin Solo is no better than a young man. Even if he held his breath, he couldn't help but slow down. Song Yang paused when he saw Wang Juntao who was with Omidyar.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" When the two arrived, Song Yang smiled and extended his hand to Wang Juntao.

Song Yang's attitude was somewhat beyond Wang Juntao's expectations. The domestic media has been reporting Song Yang's news at length these days, and Wang Juntao has read a lot of them.

But Wang Juntao, who has been in Silicon Valley, knows how proud the technological geniuses are, but Song Yang seems to be quite different there.

"Song, Wang is a master of technology, and his ideas are very novel!" Omidyar said to Song Yang. He also had a technical background, and he had a good impression of Wang Juntao.

Song Yang nodded, but the first thing he asked was not technical things, but asked Wang Juntao with great interest, "I heard that you are familiar with the people on the BBS forum of Huiduo. The station master at Pengcheng Station?"

Wang Juntao was obviously taken aback by the question. He thought that Song Yang would ask him various questions, but he didn't expect it to be this one. He shook his head and said, "We have talked a lot in the forum, but we haven't met each other yet!"

Wang Juntao saw that after hearing this, Song Yang showed a somewhat inexplicable expression on his face, which seemed to be a little regretful, but also had other expressions.

At this time, Song Yang was really curious about those people on the domestic BBS forum. Song Yang still remembered the old photo that he had seen.

At the turn of the century, Zhang Chaoyang, who was dressed in a windbreaker and looked like a big boss, and two bosses Ma followed him like younger brothers. It can be regarded as one of the classic photos of the domestic Internet industry, but I don’t know what they are now. situation.

However, Song Yang asked only once, and stopped asking. He looked at Wang Juntao and said, "Are you going to enter the e-commerce industry?"

A group of people kept walking towards the Great Wall, and Wang Juntao, who was standing beside Song Yang, explained his ideas and plans to Song Yang, "I am now developing the e-commerce website of "Software Port". I want to talk to Lianbang Software headquarters, my plan is to build an e-commerce company, start with Lianbang Software, and put Lianbang Software's business on the Internet!"

Apparently, before coming, Wang Juntao had made some plans, "The e-commerce platform sells software and book business first. Lianbang Company has exclusive stores in more than [-] cities in China. These exclusive stores can complete delivery and collection, After-sales service, if you can gain a firm foothold in the software, books and other industries, you can sell other products on the e-commerce platform..."

It has to be said that Wang Juntao's call on the BBS forum to build the first e-commerce website in China is really not groundless, and all aspects have been considered.

For an e-commerce platform, the most important thing is payment collection, delivery and after-sales service. Now there are too few online collection channels in China, let alone delivery. However, after cooperating with Lianbang Software, these problems seem to be no longer a problem.

Lianbang software stores in [-] cities across the country can collect payments for e-commerce platforms, deliver goods, etc., warehouses and logistics supply chains can also be shared. The liar who asks for the price of the PPT is much stronger.

Song Yang listened to Wang Juntao's plan and didn't speak. He just listened, but Omidyar argued with Wang Juntao from time to time. Wang Juntao wanted to turn e-commerce into B2C, which is the model of Taobao, which is similar to the current eBay model. different.

"If you want to establish an e-commerce company, do you need to cooperate with Lianbang Software?" After walking a few steps, Song Yang asked Wang Juntao.

Hearing this, Wang Juntao said quickly, "President Wu Yi and the board of directors of Lianbang Software are willing to support the e-commerce business, and I can guarantee cooperation with Lianbang Software!"

Wang Juntao has a close relationship with the executives of Lianbang Software, including the president and chairman of Lianbang Software. In addition, Lianbang Software has dealt with the computer industry itself and has the highest acceptance of the Internet.

Hearing this, Song Yang looked back at Wang Juntao, and had to say that Wang Juntao's vision was fine, but the same sentence, luck or timing is also very important.

The concept of e-commerce is still a bit too advanced in the domestic market with only a few hundred thousand Internet users. Of course, venture capital companies are also very important. If you encounter a venture capital company that is eager to kill chickens and eggs, it will be bad luck for eight lifetimes. .

"E-commerce is not only enough to have a platform, even with the support of Lianbang Software Company, it still needs storage centers, logistics and express companies, deals with banks and agreements with domestic manufacturers. China is not as good as Silicon Valley, and everything may need you. Start from scratch!"

Song Yang stared at Wang Juntao and said, unlike eBay in America, Wang Juntao is engaged in e-commerce in China, which really requires him to start everything from scratch, even Amazon and eBay are crossing the river by feeling the stones, let alone giving him experience .

"I know, but according to Song Yang's "time machine" theory, e-commerce will appear in China sooner or later, and I hope to be able to build the first e-commerce company in China!" Wang Juntao, who is slightly thin, has a look in his eyes behind his glasses. With a bit of heat.

Song Yang glanced at Wang Juntao and nodded, "Star Wish Foundation can invest in e-commerce companies. After the e-commerce companies are established, they can cooperate with Lianbang Software, but they must be operated independently!"

The next day, newspapers and magazines in major technology industries such as Computer News, Computer Magazine, Zhongguancun Online, etc., put yesterday's photo of the Great Wall on their homepages, and the first batch of Internet personalities in China began to appear in front of Chinese people.

When Song Yang took the plane to Guangdong Province, Irene, Whitman, Eiger, Omidyar and others also flew towards Bangzi, Ah San and other places.

In Yanjing's business center, where there are many foreign companies in the office building area, the signboard of an 8848-story business building has become the Asia Star Wish Foundation. The entire building has been leased out. The newly named [-] e-commerce company has all moved into this building!
