Chapter 200 The Best Times

Three days after the annual meeting, Yang Xing rushed back in turmoil. Although the cold was not cured and he felt a little weak, his shining eyes were filled with confidence and satisfaction. This trip to Shenzhen can be said to be back with a full load.

As soon as he saw Wang Shufu, he knew that his simple high salary and generous salary could not impress him to take the initiative to join his subordinates. Wang Shufu is not old. He became the department director of the Beijing Nonferrous Metals Research Institute at the age of 26, and became the general manager of the Shenzhen Battery Company of the Nonferrous Metals Research Institute at the age of 27, which is also considered a teenager. The key is that in addition to being an unfair technical maniac, he also has a keen sense of business.

The obvious difference between Wang Shufu and other grassroots entrepreneurs in China is that many domestic entrepreneurs blindly admire foreign countries because they do not understand technology and blindly pay attention to foreign countries, and often spend a lot of money to introduce so-called internationally leading production lines. However, Wang Shufu advocates based on domestic technology and pursues independent development and development of products. He once said that instead of spending huge amounts of money to introduce technology, why not mobilize the huge domestic scientific researchers and concentrate on research and development of technology, local experts may not be worse than foreign experts.

He consistently implemented this spirit during the product development process of his company. When he developed ten scientists, there were only fifty ones. If fifty ones were not good, there were only one hundred. Anyway, the value of Chinese scientific researchers was not as good as that of foreign scientific researchers, but there was not such a big gap in mind. It could also produce good products based on quantity and quality. BYD is also one of the few companies in China that focuses on scientific research and development. It is the leading in the production and research of nickel-cadmium and nickel-hydrogen batteries. It is now launching an attack on the lithium battery market that is full of hands, with great ambitions.

After the two met and sat down, Yang Xing did not show his superiority that he was a teenager but had several times his wealth. The warm and equal frank conversation between the two sides surprised Wang Shufu very much. Because Yang Xing directly expressed his intention to join his company as soon as he came up. Wang Shufu just wanted to smile and reject it. However, he didn't expect Yang Xing to take out a thick plan and put it in front of him and said: "Let's not discuss Mr. Wang, your whereabouts, please first look at this new product that my company, Xingchen Manufacturing, is preparing to develop. Mr. Wang, see if you are interested. Regardless of whether you agree to my conditions, I hope that everyone will have opportunities to cooperate on this project. After reading it, you will consider my suggestions?"

Wang Shufu opened the plan with the words "Top Secret" on it, and was immediately attracted by a line of text that raised his head. "Research on the market size of the family car market after my country's entry into the WTO and whether the company should launch a feasibility report." He almost forgot to be polite with Yang Xing, and looked along the way with great enthusiasm. Yang Xing looked at him while clenching his fists tightly, unable to hide his inner tension, and couldn't help but feel funny. He was betting on Manager Wang's dream of making domestic cars in his mind. He knew that more than ten years later, BYD's well-known product was not batteries, but family cars. Wang Shufu integrated battery technology into the electric car products developed by the automobile, and even the God of Investment Buffett voted for the company's future development direction by purchasing BYD stocks.

Yang Xing knew that Wang Shufu was obsessed with the "car dream" deep in his heart. When he launched the automobile project, BYD did not even get the qualification to enter the national automobile production list. The outside world also criticized him for saying that he was not doing his job properly and would definitely get bloody. Unexpectedly, he had to make a breakthrough in the domestic sedan market where heroes emerged. Every time Yang Xing thought of this, he felt that this gambling would definitely win.

Now the domestic automobile market is still occupied by joint venture car manufacturers such as FAW, II Automobile, and SAIC. They are still producing models that have been eliminated from abroad, such as Santana and Jetta. After joining the WTO in 2001, international automobile giants will enter the domestic automobile market strongly. If they have not laid the foundation for domestic cars before, they will be more passive.

When he wrote the founding plan of Xingchen Manufacturing, he considered launching automobile production. The symbol of a country's industrialization is the ability to produce automobiles, ships, aircrafts, rockets and other products. In the domestic environment, Yang Xing did not expect to build aircraft and rockets, but automobile ships always allowed him to enter private capital like this. Moreover, the automobile project has a great effect on improving the mechanical manufacturing capabilities of enterprises and expanding the upper and lower industrial chains, so Yang Xing wanted to use this project to impress and tie Wang Shufu.

It took Wang Shufu more than an hour to finish the plan. Thinking of Yang Xing who was hanging beside him for a long time, he stared at Yang Xing's eyes and said, "If I were willing to join your company, how much authority would I give me to host this plan?" Yang Xing said solemnly: "Xingchen Manufacturing will set up an automatic machinery department to be responsible for the development of cutting-edge industrial products such as automobiles, ships, industrial robots, etc. In the future, it may also develop products such as aircraft, trains, etc. Mr. Wang will operate this department. What do you think?" Wang Shufu was moved. Yang Xing described it as the next General Electric!

Until Yang Xing left Wang Shufu, he did not give a clear answer, but he was 80% sure that Wang Shufu could not escape. For many entrepreneurs, a broader stage to display their talents is far higher than other material temptations. Yang Xing saw this from Wang Shufu, so he was confident that he would agree to his own conditions.

After completing his lobbying for Wang Shufu, Yang Xing turned his attention to Ma Huateng, Zhang Zhidong and others. In this life, the world's first instant messaging software was crowned on the ICQ software developed by three young people in Israel in 1996. This free software quickly spread all over the world and attracted countless followers from all over the world. In 1998, AOL (American Online) spent nearly $300 million to acquire ICQ, which was once a legend in the Internet era.

However, ICQ itself uses an English interface and has added many large and inappropriate programs in the later stage, resulting in poor user experience. It has retreated step by step in front of the MSN launched by Microsoft and eventually became a loser. On the contrary, its Chinese copycat version of QQ suddenly emerged and achieved great success.

Yang Xing was one of the first people to use QQ back then. He watched QQ grow up almost step by step, and naturally had a deep understanding of its successful experience. Perhaps QQ is not the best instant messaging software, but it is the most in line with the Chinese usage habits. Moreover, its user stickiness is obvious to all, so even if it is not the first to enter portals, online games and other fields, it can always force its opponents to breathe. The saying "Never do what Tencent wants to do" is not just a joke in the Internet industry.

Since he wanted to set up an Internet company, Yang Xing naturally would not give Tencent a chance to have a portal. Ma Huateng and his team won't start this small company that was only providing services to Shenzhen paging stations next year. Ma Huateng's biggest dream back then was just to have a boss who knew his keen eyes and spent millions to acquire his company. Yang Xing asked him to return to his identity as a technician in advance. Although he could not be the father of the Penguin Emperor, the treatment and opportunities he gave him must not be weaker than his previous life.

Many years later, Ma Huateng, Zhang Zhidong and other executives who had become heads of Zhongxing International's information department talked about the speech of their new employees on the future development trend of the Internet when they first joined the company, and they were still very excited when they mentioned it. They believed that the young boss' accurate predictions of technological development were comparable to that of Nesbitt, a futurist. At that time, he had to write his predictions into a book called "The Big Trends of the Internet" to ensure a big sale.

Yang Xing was not in good condition at that time, and the cold did not improve. He had a low fever. Liao Qing followed him in an endless stream, and even with an injection during his speech. However, the audience below did not notice this, and they were completely intoxicated by the scene depicted by Yang Xing.

"The biggest advantage of the Internet era is to bring each other closer together. Xingguang Entertainment already has an entertainment website with the latest gossip entertainment news from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the click rate is amazing. Now their artists have opened blogs on it and provide genuine MP3 music listening and download. Now the website click rate has jumped to the top five websites in East Asia. It can be seen that among the websites of East Asian countries, the most popular young people who are online online like to do entertainment when they go online." Yang Xing calmly analyzed to them that these new employees only knew that Xingguang.com, which was founded in May this year, has achieved such brilliant results.

"But this is not enough. We have newly developed instant messaging software. We want these young people to chat as close as they are in the sky when they are online. As soon as they go online, they will greet each other. Everyone's vision cannot be simply focused on the development of communication software, but should consider the needs of young people and add some things they like. For example, in communication, young people first contact each other, except friends and classmates, why not build a dating website in universities around the world? Upload and share their willingness to disclose their resumes, photos, songs, and videos to everyone through instant messaging software. You can also use instant messaging software to connect to teams to play some small games. Everyone should give full play to your imagination!"

"If the internet speed allows, you can add special chat rooms and private spaces to communicate with each other, and transfer documents through software, download songs and movies. In the future, you can also use network cameras to make video calls. With the development of mobile phone technology, the Internet will also move, and the above-mentioned communication functions between mobile phones, computers, and networks will also appear..."

Yang Xing talked for a long time, integrating the characteristics of famous websites such as QQ, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. that appeared in later generations. Of course, he added a lot of his insights and also talked about possible setbacks and mistakes. Anyway, although many of the technical conditions of the concepts are not yet mature at this time, as long as they can point out the correct direction to their subordinates, sooner or later they will find ways to realize their concepts in practice.

After the speech, he shook hands with the recruited talents one by one. Finally, he deliberately stopped in front of Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong. Looking at the two new employees in front of him who were not much older than him, he shook hands with them hard. A pale face of sickness showed a smile, "I'll give you a famous saying from Dickens, 'This is the best era, and the worst era'. For you employees who have joined the new family of new things like the Internet, how you will view this era in the future depends on your efforts! I sincerely hope that this Internet era is the best era for everyone!"
