Rebirth: From catering group to world’s richest man

A considerable number of people who had access to the Internet in the early days later became big names in the Internet industry. Naturally, Lin Shen knew this very clearly. So he created a relatively bloated online name so that if anyone was short of money, he could invest in them.

The netizen named”Silicon Valley Fire” looked like he was short of money just now, but Lin Shen took a step slower and the other party seemed to be offline.

Lin Shen made a screen name for himself, and seeing that they were still chatting enthusiastically, he was ready to join their chat.

Call up the input method. Currently, the only Chinese character input methods are the Wubi input method and the smart ABC input method. Lin Shen, who is used to the brainless input method of Sogou, will feel that this input method is very retarded when he uses the smart ABC again. Although the emergence of smart ABC has lowered the threshold for computer typing a lot.

Lin Shen could only choose the Wubi input method. Lin Shen took a look at the root characters of the Wubi input method and memorized them all in one minute.

Then he typed furiously on the keyboard.

I rushed 100,000 points: Is the fire of Silicon Valley still there? If you need investment, come to me, I have the money.

Hunshi Mowa: Wow, this must be the big guy who earned 100,000 credit points that Ink just mentioned.

Huang SIR: Judging from his online name, that’s it. He is so rich. He paid 10,000 yuan directly. Alas, let’s not talk anymore. It’s time for me to log off. The time limit exceeded again today. We can’t talk too much, it’s all about money. bigstone: You should come earlier. Silicon Valley Fire is very busy, and it only took a while for him to be online.

I rushed 100,000 points: Who knows what the Silicon Valley Fire is about? bigstone: I heard him say once that he works in Yanjing, seems to be doing office software, and his real name is Junzi or something.

Hanyu Dujiang: I also heard him say once that he graduated from the Computer Science Department of Wuhan University. He doesn’t like to talk, but I guess he belongs to Kingsoft Software Company.

I spent 100,000 points: Is this the Kingsoft company that makes WPS?

Hanyudujiang: 80% of the time it’s this company.

I charged 100,000 points: That’s it.

Lin Shen wanted to post something just now, but suddenly found that he was disconnected from the Internet. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the dial-up Internet connection was down, and Lin Shen had a black line.

This is the current network environment, and disconnections are commonplace anyway.

Lin Shen didn’t want to dial anymore.

Just a few words with those netizens made Lin Shen guess who the”Fire of Silicon Valley” was. If Lin Shen’s guess is correct, this person should be Lei Jun, who will be known as”Rebus” in the future. At this stage, Lei Jun happens to be working at Jinshan Company.

In the future, he will be in the 16-year class of Jinshan University until he later founded Xiaomi.

During this time period…

Jinshan Company, where Lei Jun worked, really encountered some difficulties.

And it’s not just some small difficulties, but big difficulties that make the company face dissolution.

It all starts with WPS, the word processing software.

To put it simply, Qiu Bojun of Kingsoft Company developed WPS in 1988. Later, WPS developed rapidly in Longguo, and soon WPS occupied 90% of the Chinese word processing market in Longguo. At this time, Microsoft’s office software from the Stars and Stripes Kingdom entered the Dragon Kingdom. Among them, the word processing software directly competes with WPS.

Then, at this time, in order to meet the challenge from Microsoft, Kingsoft decided to develop a suite similar to Microsoft office software, named Pangu Components, which included functions such as word processing, spreadsheets, and dictionaries. Lei Jun led a development team of dozens of people and worked hard for two years. However, when Lei Jun and the entire Kingsoft company launched Pangu components to the market with full confidence, they encountered a huge Waterloo.

The Pangu component failed completely. Because it did not continue the name of the already famous WPS, this component failed completely and even the original WPS users were lost.

Kingsoft spent millions on promotion and advertising, but after the ads went out, many people had no idea what your Pangu component was used for.

As a result, everyone at Jinshan Company was hit hard.

The company originally had 200 people, but in the past year, employees have left one after another, leaving only about 20 people.

There is no other way, Qiu Bojun can only develop WPS again, hoping to rely on WPS to return to the top.

However, there are only more than 20 people left in the company, and the developers are all scattered. There are only less than ten people left. Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun lead the development of less than ten people. Personnel, what else to do? Just this year, Qiu Bojun sold his villa worth two million, which allowed the company to persist.

However, at this moment, Jinshan Company is indeed teetering on the edge.

Regardless of whether the person”Fire of Silicon Valley” was Lei Jun or not, he reminded Lin Shen that Kingsoft needed money now.

And Lin Shen is very willing to be the God of Wealth.

It seems that I have to take time to go to Yanjing.

After thinking about these things, Lin Shen closed the computer

…………

1996 will not be a peaceful year.

Lin Shen’s traditional industries will face increasing competition.

Take Master Kong’s drinking water product as an example. In the future, Wahaha pure water and Nongfu Spring will appear this year. Of course, since Master Kong has snatched the name of Nongfu Spring’s nature porter in advance, he doesn’t know if this brand can still be born, and if it is born, how will it be hyped this time? But Lin Shen knows that 80% of Nongfu Spring’s Zhong in this life will be The boss cannot become the richest man in Dragon Kingdom just by selling water.

Then there is Taibai Xianjiu. During the Spring Festival in a few years, the country introduced new regulations. From now on, government agencies will no longer be allowed to drink white wine at official banquets. This used to be a huge market, but now that the government does not allow drinking liquor at banquets, the sales of Taibai Xianjiu may be greatly affected.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and there will be more and more restrictive policies on liquor in the future.

Lin Shen could only let Taibai Xianjiu Distillery move towards high-end wine in the future.
