Chapter 174: The First Internet Company

There are two names in Kyoto's entrepreneurial incubation base, one is called the High-tech Innovation Center, and the other is the well-known Zhongguancun.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the birthplace of the Internet, because many Internet companies in China came from here, including the first Internet company in China.

Many people think that the first Internet company in China is Soohu.

Actually, it is not. Soohu is just the first Chinese portal Internet company.

The real first Internet company is a company called Yinghaiwei.

At first, the company sold American computers, and later became a service provider. The predecessor of this company, Kyoto Technology Co., Ltd., was founded in 1995 and was located in Zhongguancun. Therefore, according to time, Yinghaiwei was the first Internet company.

There is a billboard on the South Street of Zhongguancun, which says: How far is the Chinese people from the Information Expressway - 1,500 meters north!

One thousand five hundred meters north is Yinghaiwei Network Technology Company.

It’s a pity that this company could have become the largest Internet company in China and could get an investment of 80 million yuan when it was first born. However, because it was too rude to Chinese netizens, coupled with the rise of NetEase Souhu, when they raised the slogan of users, Yinghaiwei was doomed to fail.

Yinghaiwei mainly does network access. Without equipment, they are among telecommunications and help ordinary people access the network. In just three years, they opened branches across the country.

As a result, because managers do not know how to adapt and do not understand the pain of users, the Internet itself is a very fast and changeable place. Naturally, the success of understanding how to adapt remains, and Yinghaiwei's founders all resigned last year.

It is said that Yinghaiwei has the idea of ​​re-establishing a company in Xiangjiang this year. Chu Han is not very familiar with this company, because in less than two years, the company will completely disappear into the torrent of history.

Thinking will change, and change will be smooth.

No matter what industry or what you do, the above six words are all famous sayings. When you forget these six words and indulge in the success you create, leaving only arrogance and arrogance, you are doomed to failure.

Why did Xiang Yu fail? Why did Han Xin go to Liu Bang’s account?

Because Xiang Yu can fight, has a brain, and does not need smart people under his command, he is a smart person himself. When a smart person has been around for a long time, and a person is accustomed to arrogance and arrogance, and does not know how to obey other people's opinions, then what is left to him will inevitably be failure.

Yinghaiwei was Xiang Yu when the Chu-Han battled for hegemony. Not long after Yinghaiwei was founded, Souhu and NetEase were also established one after another, but they were both low-key, silently strengthening themselves and learning the most advanced Internet technology. Soon, because they followed the trend, they walked up the wind in this Internet trend and stepped on Yinghaiwei tightly under their feet. China's first Internet company disappeared like this.

But it is normal. Although Ying Haiwei has killed himself, their role is flag-like, just the role of negative teaching materials.

The next day, when Chu Han had just finished breakfast in the hotel's buffet restaurant, Li Fei was already running downstairs with his tiger head running.

He is really enthusiastic and values ​​Chu Han very much, which shows that they really need funds.

As far as Chu Han knows, if Li Yanhong can't find investors in China, he will turn to the US Silicon Valley for funds, and then, a venture capital company called Defengjie invested in BD.

Defengjie invested a lot of money for them, but compared with the huge market value that BD later had, it was almost worth mentioning. Defengjie made a lot of money.

There is no way, this is the case in China in the 1990s. They were too superstitious about real estate and industry, the Internet bubble and their lack of understanding of this industry, which made them hesitate.

Although Sohu NetEase and the Bridegroom have started to make profits and are of great value, this is only in the past two years. How much money can the Internet make? How long can this form last? Can it be upgraded in the future and innovate?

These are all unknowns. In addition, the Internet itself belongs to the field of high-tech technology. When some talented young people bring a bunch of information that you can't even understand, they ask you to invest and say that this thing has great potential in the future, will you invest?

Most normal people will not invest, which leads to 60% of the Internet companies in China, especially those that began to be founded in the late 1990s, the largest investors are foreign investment companies.

There is no other reason, just because they understand that this thing may change the world in the future, and then they succeed, and the Internet eventually really changes the world.

God made Chu Han reborn. Chu Han always believed that this rebirth must have a purpose. He didn't know what the specific purpose was, but at least, he could do something for his country.

For example, BD, the search engine technology that will occupy the only four in the world in the future, must remain in China.

Today, Chu Han lived a very fulfilling life. He went to the Great Wall, Xiangshan, and the Great Man Palace. Anyway, Li Fei took Chu Han to play all the things he could.

Everyone goes to luxury hotels at mealtime. After dinner, you go to massage and take a shower. Don’t get me wrong, they are all regular places.

In short, it was to obey Chu Han's service. Of course, the reason why Li Fei did this was definitely to leave a good impression on Chu Han and let Chu Han invest in them.

Why did he trust Chu Han so much? It was just because when I was reading the news recently, whether it was the Soohu Bride or NetEase’s portal, it all posted a news about Penguin.

"At a young age, he has the ability to invest in Penguin Company for 8 million?"

This news immediately ignited the entire Internet, and some netizens even started to eat melons.

Because Penguin, the company suddenly became popular in the second half of 1999, the Penguin Instant Message they launched became the number one software downloaded this year.

So far, there have been more than 10 million downloads.

The number of updates in penguins in the past six months is only thirteen times. If 300,000 people use penguins, it is conservatively estimated that each version of penguins has been downloaded three times. If you can understand it, it means that each person has downloaded penguins thirty-three times.

The number of times in this is definitely uninstalled and installed. Why is it uninstalled? There must be something that users are not satisfied with, so why are they installed again? It must be that this software has functions that they must use.

Brother Xiao Ma strives to make the things that users are not satisfied with become places that satisfy them, and then optimize the functions they need to be better. Therefore, this software exploded the entire Internet.

The groom, Souhu NetEase, saw the opportunity. They all wanted to get a share of the pie and wanted to acquire Penguin, but they didn't have enough money. They wanted to make the same software, but now the only thing they could fight was Souhu's Xunhu.

Unlike later generations, when things like taxi-hailing and errand-run shared bicycle takeaway software were immediately acquired by giant Internet companies because giant companies lacked nothing, and they lacked new products.

If a new company lacks nothing, it is short of money. But in this era, it is not possible. Every company is exploring to move forward. Similarly, everyone lacks nothing, technology, enthusiastic friends, determination and hard work, it is short of money.
