Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

The internet cafe on the first floor of the laboratory building at the south gate of the school is bustling with activity. Ever since this internet cafe opened, it has been almost full every day. A group of college students do not want to make progress and are obsessed with online games all day long. They are addicted to the sense of accomplishment brought by the game and cannot extricate themselves. Of course, as an Internet cafe owner, he is naturally happy to see this phenomenon, but Gao Hongda feels a dull pain in his heart. In his previous life, he had ruined his life because of his addiction to online games. He felt that he could not survive a day without a computer. I continued until I started working and sat in front of the computer all day long, to the point where I felt like vomiting when I saw the computer.

Walking up to the software studio on the second floor, I heard the noise in the conference room as soon as I got upstairs.

"We are technicians, and our job is to develop software. If you ask us to be salesmen, isn't this killing people?"

"That's right, if the user doesn't know how to use it, we can publish a tutorial on the website, and the instruction manual can be more detailed. Why do we have to provide step-by-step guidance?"

"It's so torturous for us to go out for a run on this hot day!"

"If I were asked to do sales, I would quit the studio immediately!"

...

Gao Hongda opened the door and walked into the conference room. The people inside immediately fell silent. He glanced around and saw the thin Zhu Qiuting surrounded by more than a dozen people, hesitant and speechless.

"I heard you guys arguing from downstairs. What's going on? Sit down and talk slowly!" Gao Hongda pulled up a chair and sat down.

Zhu Qiuting said aggrievedly: "Our first batch of products has been produced, and the school has also helped us handle the copyright. I suggest that everyone disperse to construction sites and schools across the country to promote the software. After all, as R&D personnel, we are most familiar with This software. They don’t want to go.”

Gao Hongda tried his best to keep his tone as kind as possible: "I just heard your conversation outside, and I understand your difficulties. But I support Senior Zhu Qiuting's suggestion."

Now this group of college students started to stir up trouble again.

Gao Hongda signaled everyone to be quiet and asked Zhu Qiuting: "How much does our software cost?"

"150. In fact, the cost is only about 80. The main reason is that the dongle is too expensive. It only costs two yuan to engrave a disc." Zhu Qiuting replied, "The company gives everyone a commission of 20 yuan and reimburses travel expenses. This treatment Very good."

Gao Hongda immediately shook his head and said: "That's not how you calculate the cost. We invested so much manpower in the early stage, and the intellectual property rights are also costs. Plus the usual customer service and software upgrades are also costs. The price is set at 280, and the price is unified nationwide."

Everyone looked at each other and expressed their opinions: "Can it be sold at such an expensive price?"

Gao Hongda continued to explain: "This is why I asked everyone to hurry up and develop it. There is currently a market gap in this software. Our software is unique to Scorpion Shit, and it can save a lot of labor costs when used. Besides, Which construction company would be short of two to three hundred yuan? It's just the price of 80 kilograms of steel bars, so it's only a matter of time before the market opens up. However, the commission I will give everyone is [-] yuan. Anyone who is willing to lead a team to do marketing, The market he develops will always have his commission. No matter which generation our products are upgraded to, you will benefit for life. As long as the market is opened in the future, you can make money lying down at home. I say this, everyone can understand ?"

Someone raised his hand and asked: "Boss Gao, can I understand that if I go to Shijiazhuang to sell software, whether it is a construction bookstore site or a school, the software sold in this city in the future will belong to my performance?"

Gao Hongda solemnly nodded and said: "That's what I mean! You can go to the marketing department of our head office to learn from experience and train agents in various cities. As for how to share dividends with agents, you make your own decisions, and I will give you a discount. The policy is to distribute goods for free.”

Then he pointed to Zhu Qiuting and said to everyone: "Half a month ago, I originally planned to let our company's sales team develop the market. After all, they are more hard-working. Senior Zhu Qiuting fought for it again and again, and asked me to leave the opportunity to Yourselves, that's why I choose to believe everyone. What is the purpose of our coming out? I won't make any big talk here. To put it bluntly, we just want to make money and let our family live a good life, lying in bed It's quite comfortable, but it's a pity that we are not prostitutes. We can't make money in bed! I have said it clearly. We are all young people, so there is no need to mince words. I will give you two minutes to think about it. Those who are willing to make money and make money, raise your hands. ! Those who just want to get a dead salary don’t force it! The market says whether it’s big or small, the only thing we don’t lack now is talent.”

Thanks to this era, young people still have no immunity to chicken soup for the soul. If these words are placed 20 years later, Gao Hongda is guaranteed to gain a lot of soles.

Just by his slap, these young people were immediately ignited with enthusiasm. They raised their fists and shouted in unison: "Do it! Make a lot of money! Make a fortune!"

Gao Hongda looked at the confused Zhu Qiuting proudly, with an expression that seemed to say: Brother, learn from it! This is the courage to be a leader! To deal with these computer nerds, you have to fool them.

Afterwards, he checked the first batch of software produced and felt extremely proud. At the same time, he also secretly mourned for the companies that came up with this software in the future. He didn't know what they were doing now. If they were also developing this software, he learned that it was People have the upper hand, but I don’t know how to feel.

The young people in the software studio began to pack their bags and each made a bunch of samples, fearing that they would get less.

Zhu Qiuting stood next to Gao Hongda with guidance, lowered his head in embarrassment and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. It seems that I really don't have the ability to lead a team. Let someone from the company be responsible for marketing."

Gao Hongda chuckled: "No one is born with a talent for management. Everything must be tempered. Rome was not built in a day. You have studied abroad, so you must have confidence first!"

"Can we not mention this matter abroad?" Zhu Qiuting became even more embarrassed, "That will be the shame of my life!"

Gao Hongda suppressed his laughter and continued: "I'll give you another task. I just thought of it. You plan a website for me that can connect with the backend of China Mobile or China Unicom to provide users with paid ringback tone services."

Zhu Qiuting asked with confusion: "What is a colorful bell?"

Now it was Gao Hongda's turn to scratch his head. This was a new term. He really didn't know how to explain it, so he said vaguely: "Currently, the sounds we hear when calling others on the mobile phone are all beeps, which are very monotonous. We Change this beep to hot music..."

Before he could continue, Zhu Qiuting grabbed the conversation and said: "I understand, but this is a system project. Although it is difficult to build a website, it is nothing compared to connecting to the Internet with a mobile company. This The music also has to be edited, which is quite troublesome!”

"Let me ask you, with our current capabilities, can we handle it? As for the connection with the mobile company, you don't have to worry about it." Gao Hongda didn't want to hear him talk about the difficulties, so he asked directly.

Zhu Qiuting answered simply: "No problem! As long as there are enough funds, everything is not a problem!"

Gao Hongda's answer was even more straightforward: "Money will never be a problem here with me! Just figure it out for me!"

In Gao Hongda's memory, CRBTs have been popular for several years. It costs two yuan to download a CRBT. There are hundreds of millions of users across the country. The annual industry chain formed by Guangcai business is worth hundreds of billions, and the profits are considerable. , now it’s time to strike first, and whoever can seize the market opportunity in advance will be the winner.

Zhu Qiuting patted his chest and said: "This can be done! However, I need to increase the manpower! The people in our school are really not that good. We have to go to a good university in the capital to recruit good people!"

Gao Hongda solemnly promised: "Go ahead and let Roland provide you with the funds. I don't care what you do, I just want the results! The sooner the better!"
