Chapter 237 Influence

Father Dong nodded and said, "That's right! Our province's influence on domestic public opinion is a bit weak. Even the newspaper with the largest circulation only has influence within the province, and has limited right to speak to domestic public opinion."

"At present, most of the various news and public opinions among the people in China are in the hands of major Internet companies, and the government only has the right to supervise."

"And these companies are currently located in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. We can't control it, and we can't influence it. If we want to speak out when we encounter something, we can't do it as we want."

"Recently, Weiyang Weibo has suddenly sprung up, and it is also an enterprise in our province. Since the beginning of this month, its registration number exceeded 500 million, and the Public Opinion Monitoring Center of our Propaganda Department has noticed it."

"In the beginning, I just paid attention to him silently. During this period of time, I saw that he has developed so smoothly all the way, and his performance is full of potential. He has attracted a lot of attention, and gradually began to increase his attention."

"In fact, the ministry is very happy to see such a Weibo platform appear in our province, and it is now the focus of attention."

Dong Qingxuan seemed to understand a little bit, and said puzzledly: "Dad, it's a good thing that Lin Rui's company is now getting the attention of your propaganda department!"

Father Dong said: "Of course it's a good thing, but it's not a good thing to be paid attention to by the Propaganda Department of our provincial party committee. Many companies want it!"

"According to this development trend, if their company has been developing smoothly and performing well, it can create momentum and have a certain influence throughout the country."

"Not only the Propaganda Department of our provincial party committee, but also the local government of Los Angeles City, and even the provincial party committee and provincial government will pay attention to them. By that time, there will be fewer supportive policies and resources."

Dong Qingxuan still couldn't figure it out, and wondered: "Is it too exaggerated? Lin Rui's company is not too big now. Even if everything goes well and has some influence, there is no need to take it seriously."

Father Dong said with a smile: "If Weiyang Technology goes downhill from now on, it has no potential, it can't be done. Of course, it will stop here, and naturally it will not attract too much attention."

"But what if Lin Rui really has the ability to develop the company better and better?"

"We must know that Weiyang Weibo has nearly 800 million registered users now, and it will definitely be no problem to break through 1000 million in the future. What if it breaks through 2000 million, 3000 million, or even more in the future? The influence of the platform is getting bigger and bigger, we think It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay attention.”

"What's more, our Central Plains Province is a large agricultural province. The development of science and technology is not satisfactory, and the Internet industry is extremely poor."

"What era does it belong to now? It is in the third industrial revolution and the era of the information industry revolution. The government pays special attention to the information industry. Our province is inherently weak in this area, and there are no leading companies. Internet companies have none."

"If Weiyang Technology has this potential and develops smoothly in the future, and has the ability to take on this role, it will become a banner of our province's information industry. Do you think the local government will pay attention to it? Not only the province will pay attention, but the city will also pay attention to it. We will give great support in all aspects and become the darling of the local government.”

Dong Qingxuan muttered to himself: "It's too difficult to develop to that scale! It feels a bit dreamy. What if Weiyang Technology neither declines nor meets the requirements? Will the government still support it?"

Father Dong smiled and said, "You have a lot of problems, but from my point of view, what should be supported and will be supported is the question of how strong it is. In fact, the government has no choice in this regard. Some is better than nothing."

"We are not Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. There are not so many large Internet technology companies, and there are very few entrepreneurial technology companies."

"The current scale of Weiyang Technology, from a national perspective, can only be said to have great potential. Putting it in those first-tier cities will not attract attention at all, because there may be many technology companies of this size there."

"But it's rare to put it here. To be honest, our province has not made much progress in the computer field, and the foundation is weak, and there are few companies in this field."

"Don't look at Weiyang Technology's small scale now, it doesn't seem to be very eye-catching. I'm not bragging, I really have to strictly count and rank the Internet companies in the province. Weiyang Technology is already the best-developed and largest Internet company in our province. , the well-deserved number one ranking."

Dong Qingxuan said with a smile: "You're giving him gold, and you can win the first place in the province so easily. If you know it, you won't die of laughter."

Dong's father spread his hands and said: "But what I said is the truth, who let us save the Internet from being so weak. Don't laugh... just watch!"

"Although the local government departments seem to be indifferent to their company now, it seems that they don't pay attention at all. That's because their company has not yet grown in size. I don't know if there will be changes. I'm afraid that just supporting the company will make it dirty!"

"But you wait a few more months. If Lin Rui really has the ability to run Weiyang Technology smoothly, it will go to a higher level. The scale has also reached a certain level and has a certain momentum."

"At that time, it is estimated that people from various government departments will come to visit and inspect the threshold."

"It will be used as a banner and a model of technological innovation for the whole city. Not only the leaders of their city will go to inspect it, but the leaders of the province will go to their city for research, and they will inevitably arrange visits."

"It is even more indispensable for brother cities to come to investigate and study. It is necessary to pull people over to have a look and see the city's scientific and technological innovation achievements."

"Exchanging and learning with big coastal cities, when people come to us, they will be pulled over. Let them see that in addition to traditional industries, our inland cities can also develop such large-scale Internet technology companies."

"Even if the central government leaders come to our province for inspection, as a representative of the province's Internet technology community, it will definitely be necessary to arrange a visit to the company to show the development achievements of the province's technological innovation."

Dong Qingxuan said: "Is that an exaggeration? It's an Internet company. Even if it is bigger, it has created a certain amount of momentum. In terms of profitability and taxation, it is not only not ranked in the province, but also in Los Angeles. Number."

Father Dong shook his head and said, "You don't understand. What the local government values ​​is its influence and its technological attributes. For a large agricultural province like ours, there is an Internet technology company that has influence across the country. Conducive to improving the local image.

"Internet technology companies themselves represent vitality and innovation. What will the outside world think of a backward and conservative inland city that suddenly develops into a large Internet technology company?"

"Does it mean that the city has a good political ecology, a good business environment, is very dynamic, suitable for innovation, and suitable for entrepreneurial development."

"And as time goes by, if this Internet company becomes more and more influential in the country, and everyone mentions this company, they will bring the city where it is located. Will everyone's impression of this city be changed subtly? .”

"From old-fashioned, conservative, with traditional industries as the mainstay. It has become open, innovative, and dynamic. It is a city with a sense of technology and innovation capabilities. This will attract more technology companies and start-up companies to settle down."

"It's actually just one more technology company that is regarded as a benchmark."

Dong Qingxuan nodded, understood what his father meant, and gradually began to agree with his point of view.

Dong's father went on to say: "Actually, when it comes to earning power and tax payment, what industry can compare with real estate? China's GDP is more or less supported by it."

"But to be honest, real estate companies rely on the government for their livelihood. All kinds of land supply policies are tightly controlled by the government. It's easy to make you feel good, and it's easy to make you unlucky."

"Just like our city, there are hundreds of real estate companies, none of which is irreplaceable. As long as the government wants to support that company, he can get up, and he will be unlucky if he wants to decide which one to choose. No matter how powerful a real estate company is, it depends The face of the local government."

"Internet technology companies are different. First of all, their products are oriented to the whole country, and they compete with similar companies across the country. Local government policies have little impact on them."

"And their flexibility is not comparable to other types of companies. If a local government is not friendly, they can directly move the company to other places and continue to develop, with little impact on the company's business."

"Because the company is facing users all over the country, one city and one place will not affect the overall development of the company at all."

"And Internet technology companies are not like real estate companies. The local government can support them if they want. If you have no potential or ability, the local government can't help it if you try your best."

"Because you are facing national competition and users are distributed across the country, local governments can only beat the drums and provide policy support and resources."

"Although it will make the development environment of the enterprise much better, but if you don't have that ability, you should not be able to develop, and you still cannot develop."

"Otherwise, why do you think we haven't had a large-scale Internet company for so many years? This is not an industry that can be developed only with policy funds."

Dong Qingxuan said: "It turns out that there are so many details in it, should I tell Lin Rui these words?"

Dong's father smiled and said: "He is so powerful before graduating from university. He may have realized these things a long time ago. Even if he didn't understand it for a while, he will naturally know after a while. It's up to you!"

Dong Qingxuan nodded, and decided to turn around and talk to Lin Rui. After all, Dong's father works in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee and sees problems from a different perspective.

Father Dong looked at her and smiled again.

"In fact, you don't need to make Lin Rui pay too much attention to these aspects. The foundation of everything is to develop the company well. If the company develops well, he doesn't need to open his mouth. Some honors, resources, and policies will naturally lean towards his company."

"If the development is not good, then all this is fantasy, and everyone will not pay attention to it at all, and other things will naturally be out of the question."

Dong Qingxuan nodded and said, "Got it!"

……

After dinner, Dong Qingxuan hummed a song and helped Mother Dong clean up the dishes with a happy face, apparently in a very good mood.

Dong's mother also looked at her with a look of relief. Her precious daughter has finally grown up, and she has found such an excellent boyfriend, and her heart is finally relieved a lot.

At this time, Dong Qingxuan was a little entangled in her heart, should she tell her mother that she will go to Lin Rui later, and if she doesn't return at night, can her mother agree?
Dong's mother is also a very shrewd person, she can see Dong Qingxuan's intentions at a glance, and she immediately feels sour.I feel that the cabbage I have raised for so many years is about to be humiliated, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

But young people, these are things that will happen sooner or later, and she can't stop it, so she said sourly: "Do you want to go out to find Lin Rui? Sure enough, my daughter can't keep it when she grows up, and you have grown up too. This matter You make up your own mind, Mom respects your opinion."

Seeing her mother's expression, Dong Qingxuan knew that what she said was not sure what she was thinking, she must be uncomfortable, so she sighed and decided to stay with her mother at home today.

……

Lin Rui didn't have much hope for Dong Qingxuan's coming out. The two chatted on the phone for a while, knowing that her parents had approved her, and they could communicate freely in the future.

I don't care if she can't come out to accompany me, after all, there are still two days to play!
He also heard Dong Qingxuan talk about Dong's father's views on his company, and Lin Rui had already realized this.

After all, what is scarce is the best. For a province that lacks Internet technology companies to support its appearance, if such a company really appears, or if a company shows such potential, it is inevitable to pay attention to it. Which city should I switch to? , provinces are like this.

However, Weiyang Technology is still very young and needs to grow and develop, so it is too early to talk about it.

In the future, if he really wants to make the company better and better, honors, resources, and benefits will naturally come to him one by one.

If he ruined the company, these are just illusions, let's go to bed and don't think too much.

After thinking through these things, I feel much more comfortable, and my goals are clearer. Let the outside world think and say what they want, and it is the right way to do a good job in the company with peace of mind.

Lin Rui's heart immediately calmed down a lot, and he stopped worrying about other things. After dinner, he went to the gym to exercise for a while.Only then did I return to the hotel room, poured myself a glass of champagne, took out a book I bought in the morning, and started flipping through it while sipping it.

After all, no matter what, learning cannot be left behind.

The book he is reading now is mainly about the theory of six degrees of separation. It is said that Facebook was founded based on the theory.

Simply put, the theory of six degrees of separation means that there are no more than five people between you and any stranger, and you can know any stranger through at most six people.

Although it is a sociological theory, it is more like a mathematical theory, especially after being closely integrated with the Internet, it has begun to show great commercial value.

The SNS social platform represented by Facebook was born, and many theories were included in the book, which gradually became a commercial means.

Weiyang Weibo will also take a social path in the future, and Lin Rui usually starts to learn some knowledge in this area to broaden his horizons and experience.
