Chapter 534 Zhalang’s stock price has plummeted

In 1992, when the world's first text message was successfully sent from a PC to a mobile phone on Wolfon's GSM network, no one would have thought that this was originally a project initiated by telecom operators to solve the problem of high mobile phone bills.

The launch of a low-cost text messaging service, which seemed like a very childish communication tool, would actually have such a great impact on people's economic and cultural life, and even politics, many years later.

Mobile communication networks already had text messaging capabilities as early as 1994, but people with mobile phones at that time didn't need it at all.

Therefore, text messaging at this time was still a completely new thing in Xia Kingdom, and not many people had contact with it and knew about it.

Even domestic telecom operators are hesitant, fearing that after launching mobile phone text messaging services, fewer people will call, resulting in a drop in phone bill revenue.

That is to say, Lu Yiming and Wu Ying used PHS to vigorously promote the text messaging function. As a result, once this service was launched, it was immediately well received by customers and even became one of PHS's biggest selling points.

After trying to run it for a period of time, the operator found that users' phone bills did not drop significantly, but the additional revenue from text messages increased rapidly, allowing PHS to gain a lot of new revenue.

And because only PHS has SMS service, more and more people have subscribed to PHS, which has occupied a lot of the market of the two major telecom operators, forcing them to activate SMS services in advance.

Precisely because SMS is a new thing, the market has not responded so quickly, especially domestic Internet companies, which do not yet know that they can actually make money through SMS services.

At least Cao Guowei had never thought about this level. He was so confused by what Lu Yiming said.

"Mr. Lu, forgive me for being stupid, can this SMS business help Zhalang generate income?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Of course. You know the "Millions of Painters" I worked on before? The text message function was enabled. Users can vote by sending the player's number via text message. Sending a text message costs one yuan. This one yuan

Money is my net income, and the service fee is charged separately by the operator. Later, PHS launched the ring-back tone service, which was also widely used.

SMS has been widely used. Both of these have brought objective benefits. We can do the same at Zhalang. I plan to provide a monthly news subscription service. After users activate SMS, it will cost ten or twenty yuan per month, divided into grades and levels.

, we package and push daily news to users’ mobile phones. Those who pay less can read the summary, and those who pay more can read the full text.”

When Cao Guowei heard this, he was immediately shocked and said: "Wonderful. In this way, the shortcoming of the portal website's lack of stable cash flow income will be eliminated."

For Lu Yiming, Cao Guowei was truly surrendered. This kind of unbridled imagination simply left him unable to describe it in words.

"Mr. Lu, with this killer weapon, I dare say that Quwen will be able to turn around immediately and will definitely become the first Internet company to emerge from the Internet winter."

"Haha, I don't dare to say this. Come on, come on, let's eat first. After talking so much, the food is already cold. Come on, let me toast you first. Zhalang will ask you to worry more about it in the future."

"I'd like to toast Mr. Lu."

The SMS monthly subscription service, Lu Yiming's most profound experience before, was to use this thing to open QQ membership and red diamonds and blue diamonds. It was very popular for a period of time. And Xiao Ma also relied on these businesses to make money in those years.

Only then did he survive. Otherwise, with his trick of seducing users by dressing up as women, QQ would have been completely cooled down long ago.

Later, text-based NBA broadcasts became popular in the school. Once get out of class was over, several students gathered together and stared at the one-inch or two-inch mobile phone screens, watching the text scroll crazily.

James made a three-step layup.

Pass the ball.

…

The picture is purely based on imagination, but it still makes many young people enjoy it and watch it with gusto.

Cao Guowei has been in charge of Zhalang for three days, and the internal situation is basically stable. However, a sudden phone call made Lu Yiming dumbfounded.

"Mr. Lu, Wang Zhidong is back at work again."

"ha?"

Lu Yiming almost choked on his own saliva.

"Is this person so powerful?"

Cao Guowei asked tentatively: "Do you want the security to drive him away?"

Lu Yiming smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be so unhuman. I'm not a devil. Mr. Wang likes to go to work so much, so let him do it."

Then, a surprising scene occurred at Zhalang Company.

Wang Zhidong, who still insists on coming to work every day despite having no work to do, has become the focus of everyone's attention.

But he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but few of Zhalang's old employees dared to say hello to him, for fear of getting on the new boss's blacklist.

On this day, Wang Zhidong appeared in the office on time again.

Jiang Fengnian, who had been observing for several days, came to him and persuaded him: "Why bother? When it's time to let go, you must learn to let go."

Wang Zhidong gritted his teeth and said: "Although I say that, I am not willing to accept it. I obviously founded the company, and I worked hard to run it and get it listed. But now I, the founder, have been kicked out, and I am asked to do so."

How can you swallow this breath?"

After Jiang Fengnian finished listening, he was silent for a while.

He remembered his past.

He went to the United States in 1995 and tried to start a business in Silicon Valley the next year. At that time, the Internet was just emerging. He saw the future potential of this industry, so he decisively established Huayuan Information.

This is the predecessor of Zhalang.com.

When he was working on the Internet, Jiang Fengnian was already thirty-eight years old. At this age, people tend to prefer peace and stability, but he made an even more puzzling move, that is, he had an affair with Wang Zhidong.

Fangwang merged to form the Chinese Internet - Zhalang.

When it was decided to merge Huayuan and Sitong Lifang, no one supported Jiang Fengnian's bold decision, thinking that his brain might have been kicked by a donkey.

Everyone found it unimaginable, especially the American employees under him.

Why do you want to merge with a Xia Guo company?

Why build a Chinese Internet website?

Countless questions and arguments came one after another.

Jiang Fengnian looked at Wang Zhidong and said with a sigh: "At that time, everyone thought that I had a short-circuit in my brain, but I was determined to be the boss of Xia State Internet, so how could I not enter the Xia State market? In the end, I was among all the investors.

In the face of opposition, we completely gave up risk capital, burned everything, and completed the merger in just two months."

Wang Zhidong was also brought back memories by Jiang Fengnian's words, and said with emotion: "It is this kind of foresight that together we made the largest Chinese portal on the Internet later, and Zhalang was born."

You must know that Zhalang’s journey was not easy at the beginning, and Jiang Fengnian and Wang Zhidong also did not escape the hardships faced by entrepreneurs.

Wang Zhidong smiled bitterly and said: "I remember at that time, the three of us once stayed in a room with two beds on a business trip. The waiters thought we were strange. How could three men sleep in the same room?"

Jiang Fengnian also said: "When Taiwanese employees went to the United States for business trips, they stayed at my house. Looking back on that time, I still feel very emotional."

The two of them talked to each other, reminiscing about the past. At the end of the conversation, Wang Zhidong gritted his teeth and said, "It is precisely because I have endured such hardship that I don't want to give up just like that."

Jiang Fengnian persuaded him again: "If you let go now, you still have a chance to catch up again. If you continue to stay in Zhalang, it will only waste your time and energy. Lu Yiming worked hard to set up this killing trap. Believe me, you really

There is no chance of a comeback.”

These words made Wang Zhidong finally loosen his fisted palms in frustration: "Am I just going to give up?"

Jiang Fengnian shook his head and said: "You just stumbled. The worst thing you can do is get up. Why admit defeat? Wasn't Steve Jobs kicked out by Apple? What's the result? Apple can't survive anymore, so it has to be polite.

Please bring him back in a sedan chair."

Wang Zhidong also recalled that when he was kicked out, he also said that he would imitate Steve Jobs, and immediately said proudly: "You are right! Now that Zha Lang has kicked me out, one day they will invite me back in a big sedan chair!"

Seeing Wang Zhidong's renewed fighting spirit, Jiang Fengnian smiled and said: "That's right. Who among young people has not done somersaults a few times? The important thing is that after somersaults, you should stand up immediately and keep running forward."

Back in his office, Jiang Fengnian hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone on the desk and dialed Lu Yiming's number.

"Mr. Lu, I am Jiang Fengnian from Zhalang."

Lu Yiming still had some impressions of Jiang Fengnian, but not much. He asked in surprise: "Mr. Jiang, do you have anything to do with me?"

Facing Lu Yiming, the well-known richest man in the Xia Kingdom, Jiang Fengnian sighed in his heart and still sent out an invitation: "Mr. Wang, are you free at noon today? I would like to treat you to a meal."

After a pause, he continued: "It's just the two of us."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Of course I'm free. I'm not active in eating, and I have a problem with my mind."

At noon, Lu Yiming met Jiang Fengnian in the restaurant as scheduled.

The two sat down and Lu Yiming asked: "Mr. Jiang, you invited me here today. Is there anything you want to discuss?"

Jiang Fengnian has a good temper, and he is the kind of educated person who can tell by looking at him that he is well-educated.

Although Jiang Fengnian was several years older than Lu Ding in terms of age, he did not act like an elder in front of Lu Yiming. Instead, he was very kind: "Mr. Lu, I invited you here today, mainly because I hope you will be noble and let Wang Zhidong go.

"

Only then did Lu Yiming realize that Jiang Fengnian was here to be the peacemaker.

I saw Jiang Fengnian's sincere tone: "Wang Zhidong is too upright in his words. He has offended Mr. Lu in the past, but now Mr. Lu is angry. Can you please stop pursuing me further?"

Then he was afraid that Lu Yiming would not agree, so he added another weight: "I have already persuaded Wang Zhidong. He will not go to the company to cause trouble again. The shares in his hand are also willing to be transferred at a fair price. I only hope that you, Mr. Lu, will have a lot."

Wang Zhidong still owns 3.8% of Zhalang's shares. Although it is not much, at the current market price, it will be worth a lot of money when the stock price rebounds in the future.

It can be said that Jiang Fengnian's move was very sincere. Lu Yiming thought for a while and decided that he could not kill anyone without nodding his head. He had already taken down Zhalang and slapped those who deserved a slap in the face. If he continued to hold on, he would be beaten instead.

I think he is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others.

Just because someone scolded him a few times, he couldn't have to destroy the other person's family, right?

So Lu Yiming thought about it and decided to agree to Jiang Fengnian: "Yes, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, I won't pursue this matter anymore."
