Chapter 77 Coping Plan (please read it!)

Slow is fast, this truth was realized by Zhou Xin when he was studying.

When Zhou Xin received examination-oriented education in China, the reason why he was admitted to the Youth Class of Huaguo University of Science and Technology at the age of 16 had a lot to do with his understanding of this truth.

When a student is answering a large number of questions, he is thinking about the relationship between the knowledge points and associating his wrong questions with the knowledge points, so that he can learn in a targeted manner.

The speed of answering the questions is fast, but it is not effective to do it slowly and in the right direction.

The same methodology is effective when dealing with exam-oriented education, and it can also come in handy when running a business.

For a company, strategic direction is very important.

After Zhou Xin came to this era, when he realized that he needed to help China's semiconductor industry chain achieve a certain breakthrough, he knew that the first thing he had to do was to think clearly about the specific context of the entire plan.

First of all, if it all depends on him, even if he travels back from 2030, he will not be able to make the entire industry chain domestically replaceable.

This must rely on China's own strength, from talent training to business incubation to climbing up the low-end of the industry.

Emerging investment assumes the important task of industrial investment.

As for whether the mission of emerging investments should be made clear to Wu Shiqiang, Zhou Xin decided to tell him after a long period of thinking.

Because he will not return to China in the short term, Wu Shiqiang is the specific implementer. If he is not told why he is doing this, even if Wu Shiqiang is asked to investigate semiconductor companies, he will only start from the perspective of revenue and profit.

Talent in the field of semiconductors is far more important than profits, let alone China, where the entire industry is completely blank.

As for telling outsiders about the strategic plan, this is only a very small part of the strategic plan. Secondly, even if Wu Shiqiang told Amerikan people that they would not invest money in emerging investments in the future, at least not before 2010.

In the early days, Amerikan did not regard China as a competitor. In 1999, you and the Amerikan government said that China wanted to develop its own integrated circuit industry. They would only hope that you would do it quickly so that they could move away the backward production capacity.

Go to China where labor costs are lower.

Secondly, Americen investors will not invest money in you because you invest in the integrated circuit field, which is even more impossible.

From Zhou Xin's perspective, even if he invests part of his money in the integrated circuit field, he can guarantee an annual return of more than 20%. Just the rate of return is here, Americen Capital will not invest, Europa, Neon, Lion

Investment institutions in the city will also come to you with money.

The field of integrated circuits is a highly specialized field. No one can understand all fields. Even a manager only knows the management of the fields he is familiar with.

So Zhou Xin first abandoned the idea of ​​relying entirely on himself.

The same is true when it comes to specific business operations.

Zhou Xin only had experience managing hundreds of people before, and integrated circuit companies are completely different from Internet companies.

After arriving in Silicon Valley at the end of the 20th century, whether it was Riot Games or NewPay, Zhou Xin chose to leave management to experienced managers. He was only responsible for strategy and products.

Game communities and electronic payments are both very mature products in later generations, and there are many cases for reference.

Needless to say about the gaming community, Zhou Xin just combined Steam, Douban and Baidu Tieba to create a stitched product.

Electronic payment, the mobile payment war in China in later generations, WeChat Pay and Alipay are fighting fiercely, and foreign PayPal and eBay's Billpoint are also fighting fiercely.

WeChat Pay and Alipay fought in the decade from 2010 to 2020, while Paypal and Billpoint fought fiercely at the beginning of the millennium.

Ebay chose to acquire PayPal only after the Billpoint fight failed.

However, only Quora and Zhihu can learn from the ecology of Q&A communities.

Later, quora and Zhihu chose an invitation-only system in the early stage, and later gradually opened up the permission to more users to register accounts.

Whether they did what they did, Quora would have done the same in 1999. Zhou Xin never thought so.

Therefore, regarding this issue, Zhou Xin also thought about it for a while. After thinking about it, he decided from a practical perspective not to open registration rights on a large scale at present.

"Obviously, this problem will exist. Even if we open user registration on a large scale, these Internet companies will still build knowledge question and answer communities.

Since we cannot avoid competing head-on with them, what we need to do is to build our own community ecology.

Why is it that Yahoo Game Community was launched not long after Riot Electronics Community was launched, but Yahoo Game Community cannot compare with Riot Games in terms of number of views and active users?

Because the Riot Games community has a good ecology and rich content, Yahoo can only mechanically carry the promotions of game developers.

Riot Games makes viable creations based on developer promotions.

Similarly, as long as Quora has a healthy ecosystem and has enough valuable content, even if the number of users in other knowledge question and answer communities is ten times ours.

Once we open user registration, their users will naturally come to our community."

Seeing Jimmy Wells and Larry Sanger nodding their heads, Zhou Xin continued: "Of course, we are not doing nothing.

I think we need to do something to deal with it too.

First of all, we will not open the verification code to the public in the Amerikan region, and then adopt an application system. If a user wants to have a Quora account, let him apply and set the threshold. Only those with at least a master's degree or above can apply.

The second step is to promote this product to the Europa region, which is also only open to experts and scholars in the Europa region, as well as some PhDs and masters.

We need to accumulate the thickness of content.

American's scholars alone are not strong enough.

Then for those users who do not have a master's degree and want to apply for a Quora account, we will give them two ways to register an account. One is to do questions and create a question bank. Then when registering, we will randomly select a hundred questions for the exam and set a score line.

How many points do you get to successfully register?

This score line can be stuck or it can be a ratio.

For example, if 10,000 people register on the same day, after the exam is sorted, the top 100 people will register successfully."

Find experts and scholars in the Europa region to register an account on Quora. Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wells can also understand that the more scholars there are, the more professional content there will be. This is what Zhou Xin said.

In the later exam, they were really dumbfounded. They were still able to play like this. They were a little doubtful about life.

"Newman, are our users really willing to take the exam just to register an account?"

Zhou Xin laughed. In the future, every user who registers an account at Station B will have to take the exam, but those users are not taking the exam obediently.

Today’s Internet practitioners are still too young and underestimate users’ self-PUA capabilities.
