There is no shortage of smart people in this world. The business opportunities that Jin Shang can see must be paid attention to.

Email is not something new, it has been around for many years.

I won’t mention what the past state was. Since computer systems began to use graphics user systems, the difficulty of operation has been greatly reduced. In addition, browser development is becoming more and more mature, more and more industry insiders have begun to work hard to discover the opportunities.

In order to compete for control of the ports of netizens to access the Internet, system service providers and browser manufacturers have not decided on several open and secret battles, and a larger-scale business war is about to break out.

This time, it is not a test that ends with the last minute, but a life-and-death battle. For browser manufacturers, if they lose, they will end up miserably, either being incorporated or disappearing.

In addition to the most eye-catching competition for browser control, there are other seemingly inconspicuous and important areas.

Email is one of them.

In the past, it was a tool used by professionals, but now ordinary netizens also have the opportunity to easily access the "email office" system through their browsers, register an account and send and receive emails without requiring much knowledge reserves and necessary tools.

This is the convenience brought by the development of science and technology. Only by following this trend can we go smoother and smoother.

For the portal website that is about to be launched, how to attract netizens' attention is the top priority. Nowadays, most domestic Internet users are professional scientific researchers, technical enthusiasts and white-collar elites, and the need to send and receive emails is quite urgent.

so……

"Can you recommend it on your behalf? I think there is still room for cooperation in this regard."

Yang Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then reacted and laughed:

"Of course, the circle in this industry is so big. There are not many capable people who are willing to invest time and energy to make trouble. It is never a bad thing to communicate more. I have a question. When we first came to our door, Xiao Jin always planned to deepen his career in this industry?"

"That's right!"

There is nothing to hide, Jin Shang generously admitted it.

"Even if there is no Sanshui Network, I will find someone to develop a portal. Of course, there are talented talents like Yang Gong who come to him, so I can't ask for it."

"No wonder, I always feel that Mr. Xiao Jin has a clear understanding of the planned route. Unlike other colleagues, most of them are fumbled around and can't find a way out. Without careful consideration, you can't do this step. You are not very enthusiastic about the first meeting, maybe you are not optimistic about the Yellow Pages business. I should have thought of it long ago..."

Yang Qi smiled self-deprecatingly,

"Mr. Sun and I don't know what to do in the future, so we have to explore and respond flexibly. I will deal with industry disputes and technical issues. While developing the market, Mr. Sun deals with people from all over the world and seeks inspiration."

"Didn't Boss Sun engage in activities in foreign propaganda and economic and trade departments? If you can't find the direction and follow the policy direction, you will never be too far away."

"We also think so. We should follow the trend in doing business. Although I am a technical person, I have gained a lot of insights after following Mr. Sun's wind and rain."

The topic is in-depth and familiar, Yang Qi doesn't seem to be as taciturn as he usually acts. He enters the communication comfort zone and talks a lot.

"By the way, Mr. Xiao Jin, when are you free? I'll recommend a few friends to meet..."

"Okay! But you may not have time lately. You know that I have more than just Internet cafes and portals under my command..."

Jin Shang agreed happily,

"The team has three rounds of summer break, spending money to sign up, repair the stadium, and maintaining the turf; keeping a close eye on the safety tests that connect with the School of Computer Science and Technology. Although the strength is weak, you should not be ignored and you cannot leave. You will also go to the school to attend the graduation ceremony in two days and discuss the cooperation between schools and enterprises..."

I counted around with my fingers, and before I finished speaking, I had time to do it this month.

Jin Shang was idle, and others might not happen to rest, so it was really difficult to determine the time.

"Let's do it like this, it's like mid-August, and you're almost busy with your work. Have a day to get some fun together?"

"Yes. Everyone is from technical background, very dull and speaks very directly. At that time, Xiao Jin will take care of him."

Next, the two discussed the technical prospects, programming language development trends, difficulties in developing emails, etc., and they returned to the office more than an hour later.

After looking through the confirmation documents handed over by Liu Yanqing, after not finding any problems, Jin Shang signed his name and stamped it with the official seal. This time, the in-depth technical cooperation between the two parties was successfully concluded.

He reached out and shook Yang Qi for a moment, and Jin Shang said with a smile:

"Thanks to your company's technical support, my employees and I have benefited a lot."

“Happy cooperation!”

After politely rejecting the official dinner proposed by Jin Shang, Yang Qi hurried away with his assistant, saying that he was rushing to another partner to negotiate technical authorization matters.

"Technicians are born to work hard, especially programmers."

Jin Shang sighed in a low voice,

"The development speed is fast and the technology changes frequently, so you must always keep focused and learn continuously. When you reach middle age, your energy and body cannot keep up with it, and you cannot get enough young people to get angry, it is very dangerous."

Huang Yiyi agreed while cleaning up:

"Zheng Xiao Jin has also entered the Internet industry for the first time, and his understanding is very thorough. Many people can't tell which industry has a future and which industry is about to decline."

“This is simple.”

After the matter was completed, Jin Shang, who was very relaxed, replied,

"Looking at the university courses, you will understand the textbooks that year are used. Some have been half a century ago and have not been updated for decades, which means that there has been almost no development for such a long time; some have been written in the previous two years, which looks a bit out of date. This type of major is obviously a Chaoyang industry. Literature and history are a little stronger, and science and engineering are particularly obvious."

The former is typical of shipbuilding. The last major change was welding instead of riveting. Since then, there has been no essential improvement in half a century. If it weren’t for electromechanical equipment, power systems, satellite navigation, etc., it would be impossible to see if it weren’t for electromechanical equipment, power systems, satellite navigation, etc.;

The latter represents computers. In the past, if you don’t keep up with the trend for three years, you will be out of date. In the future, if you don’t study for three months, you will probably have no place to stay in the industry. After thirty-five years, your learning ability cannot keep up, your body cannot hold on, and you have not mastered irreplaceable key technologies. In the ever-changing "coders" circle, your workplace competitiveness may be worse than that of migrant workers.

Listening to his boss talking and saying something seemed to be joking. After thinking about it carefully, he really felt that something was reasonable. After Huang Yiyi tidied up the conference room, she looked at the company express delivery delivered by the postman not long ago and said:

"President Xiao Jin seems to have a very keen forward-looking vision of the overall situation. No wonder he graduated from a master's degree at the age of 18 and created a career."

"It's too early to say that career is just getting better, and the road ahead is still long!"

Jin Shang, who was a little self-aware, suddenly changed his mind and asked.

"Most of these... are letters sent by readers of "Sincere Messages". Do you want to ask someone to reply specifically to express your gratitude! Wait, this won't work..."

Without waiting for Huang Yiyi to answer, Jin Shang himself overturned this idea.

"The manpower and material resources are consumed, and the timeliness is problematic. Let's do this, in the "Sounds of Meaning" section under the "Female Care" column of the website, a dynamic update for readers' replies and displays..."

On average, there are dozens or hundreds of letters from enthusiastic readers a day, and there may be more in the future. It is not easy to read and reply one by one.

Arrangement of full-time personnel to deal with it is a trivial matter, and it doesn’t cost much money. The key is that the effect may not be good.

In the online reply section, it is impossible to really display every letter, select some suitable ones and reply solemnly, hang them on the portal website, and then advertise in the next issue of newspapers and magazines, so that readers who are looking forward to replying will check it out.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was a good idea, Jin Shang paced back and forth, and continued to add with some clarity:

"Add two pages of the highlights of readers' letters and editorial replies on the last page of "Zhiyin Miscellaneous Talks", and more content will be allowed to be appreciated online. Sister Yiyi, write it down and let Editor-in-Chief Wang arrange it. It won't take much time, but it can narrow the distance with readers and indirectly promote the portal website..."

"good!"

I got used to Jin Shang's inspiration. After thinking about it, the intern secretary took out the notepad, solemnly wrote it down, and marked it to show that he would do it as soon as possible, and then asked in confusion.

"About the website assessment indicators, Mr. Xiao Jin mentioned the concept of popularity of article reply, but the upcoming 'Northern United Online' does not have this function. Is it missing?"

"No, it is reserved temporarily, as a reserve of technology and creativity."

As he said that, Jin Shang shook the stack of envelopes in his hand and said with great confidence.

"Offline newspapers and magazines, if enthusiastic readers write to us, online news will definitely have this demand. It will be a matter of time before we can join the reply and discussion function. The problem is that in the next few months, 'Northern United Online' will be a unique portal in China. As long as the server is not closed, netizens will definitely come here. However, once other websites compete and even directly plagiarize our page, I will release the prepared functions to keep them fresh..."

When fighting copyright lawsuits and attracting attention, you cannot waste time. It is more important to provide better services to netizens.

Even if this tiny advantage can only be maintained for two or three months, it is extremely precious for entrepreneurs who fight desperately in the same sub-track in the Internet industry. It may be that the gap between heaven and earth can be divided into heaven and earth, and even life and death can be determined.

In the "close-to-body" competition of fast-paced Internet companies, fighting verbal battles is useless. Many debates in this industry involve new things, and there may be no detailed provisions in the law, so the verdict cannot be quickly announced.

Time is often more important than winning or losing. Winning a lawsuit and destroying the company is not a joke in this industry, but a reality.

"The competition in the Internet industry is a long marathon competition, not a 100-meter sprint that requires amazing explosive power. You have to grasp the rhythm and never play all your trump cards at once."

Replies, emails, chat rooms, celebrity ads, instant messaging, and even the killer of social media are all there to do.

In order to preserve the halo of the first portal in China and become a fashion that young netizens have sought after, Jin Shang even prepared for the founder to personally take action, using the gimmick of a genius young man to transform into an entrepreneur, and to prepare for the company's website.

Compared with the operations of the grassroots heroes in the IT industry who created momentum to gain prominence in their previous lives, what Jin Shang has to do is not worth mentioning.

He did not pretend to be a female actor and fooled netizens to chat and kill, nor did he plan to dress up as a woman at the annual meeting to attract attention, nor did he want to quarrel with female celebrities to make headlines.

It is already very restrained to pretend to be a literary youth and emphasize the talented persona every few days.

Can't compare with Gan Luo, who was the prime minister of Qin at the age of twelve, and cannot be compared with Huo Qubing, the god of war who was awarded the title of champion at the age of 18. The 18-year-old master's student is also very powerful. After the "Writing Copy" several famous works are published, the hat of a young talent should be able to be steadily put on.

Of course, it hasn't reached that point yet.

There are only hundreds of thousands of netizens across the country who have to die. Even if most of them are fans of Toyosu culture, they cannot form a solid network of relationships and cannot even dig a moat.

After understanding what his boss thought, Huang Yiyi suddenly realized and replied:

"In other words, the online strategy at this stage is to stabilize one's own position, not seeking absolute advantages for the time being, and it is enough to secretly suppress competitors?"

"Yes! Now is not the time to draw swords to each other. The influence of Tony Culture Family is still too weak. More peers need to pour in to make the cake of the Internet industry bigger..."

In another three or five years, it will be the best time to cut and kill each other, blood flow into a river, dye this blue ocean into a red ocean, transform into a giant crocodile, devour the territory of the loser, and dominate one side.

After the business talk was over, Huang Yiyi was about to leave, and suddenly asked Jin Shang:

"I almost forgot what happened to the email development that Mr. Xiao Jin discussed with Mr. Yang today?"

"There are some minor problems in technology, but not big. The difficulty lies in how to win the trust of users..."

Jin Shang answered a little vaguely,

"Emails are different from portals, and require higher stability and security. After all, it involves personal privacy and even commercial secrets. Without a mature and reliable system, there will be endless troubles."

Can a novice boss who has been self-taught for several months, two half-bucket programmers, and with several unreliable assistants, develop a useful email address?

Maybe it can!

However, Jin Shang could not focus all his energy on R&D, and he could do it himself.

This is not what an entrepreneur boss at the helm should do. He is busy writing code all day long, and the company can still manage it?

It is not advisable to have no distinction between slight and heavy losses due to small losses.

"Then... are you going to give up?"

"No, continue, but I'm not going to do it myself. If I don't have enough R&D capabilities, I should actively seek external forces. Cooperating with the school's computer school is the same path. There are also many excellent projects in society. You can buy it by spending money, save time and effort. It would be better if I can recruit a few big talents."

The Internet is a big cake, and it is impossible to occupy all gold. Even if you have gold fingers and the foresight of time travelers, it is not enough. Grasp the key points and put them on the corners of others. Perhaps you can win over a few allies in the industry and come in handy when needed.
