Chapter 274 IM software must also be made (please vote)

Everyone was shocked by Gao Yang's sudden proposal to make long-term plans like IM software.

Jin Yang said: "Gaoyang, there is a certain rationality in your strategic thinking, logically. However, how long will it take for our imagined era of mobile Internet access to the Internet?"

He Guangwen said: "From the current development route of mobile communication technology, no matter how fast the development is, it is estimated that it will take six or seven years."

Fang Jian nodded: "In six or seven years, it should be similar to transition from 2G to 3G."

Gao Yang said: "I agree, it may take five or six years if it is faster."

Jin Yang said: "Okay, then let's take an intermediate value, 6 years. In 2010, the era of mobile Internet access will usher in.

So, if we make a PC-side IM software, it will take 6 years to develop slowly, or to burn money for 6 years.

In terms of cost, isn't it a bit scary?"

Gao Yang smiled and said, "I said that I will solve and be responsible for the funds for project operations. What we are discussing now is directional and long-term strategic issues.

I hope that everyone will first reach a consensus on the strategic direction, and then promote it step by step, setting it as a phased goal.

In the past, when we were doing business in CPI, almost everyone thought it was impossible when we set goals at first, but in the end we did it, because careers were made by people and were constantly trying.

Moreover, the Internet industry is also a world of martial arts. If we want to build a 51 series, we must make friends in the circle, cooperate with each other, and join forces.

Dominating the world is jealous. In the future, if we really compete with Tencent, we will definitely need allies.

Anyway, my opinion is to try it first, do it, and then take a look at it step by step.

Planning a company's strategic development is like playing chess. It must look at the long term and live in the present, but it must look far and see the future.

Otherwise, the probability of losing in the end is very high.

IM product, first develop and make it, at least it can be used internally in our company.

It is precisely because we were a few years late and failed to catch up with the first wave of Internet investment, and we caught up with the second wave. Faced with giants like Tencent, we have to go to the social platform track and can only try from all directions to accumulate brand and popularity.

At the core, when we do the Internet, we will build a brand, that is, the 51 brand.”

Fang Jian smiled and said, "Okay, according to Gao Yang's idea, I also think we can try to develop an IM software that we can use internally, and then on the 51 platform, it will not cost much money for the time being in terms of user promotion and operation."

Chen Sen smiled and said, "Then let's do it according to Lao Gao's meaning. Tencent has made a well-known QQ, and its image is a penguin, but it looks very cute. Let's do IM and design what kind of image?"

Gao Yang lit a cigarette and thought about it: "Let's go and be a national treasure, and it's the kind of cubs, how about it?"

Fang Jian laughed: "This is good, it's really good. The appearance of a panda baby is not worse than a penguin."

Gao Yang said: "From the perspective of image communication, giant pandas have a very high degree of awareness and are also global.

Our side is preparing to donate 600,000 yuan to the Wanglang Nature Reserve in the name of Jiaoyang Company to protect the living environment of giant pandas and related scientific research.

In the next step, for example, we can make this type of donation through 51 companies, and then join forces with relevant domestic protected areas and institutions, as well as the media to frequently spread information on this aspect.

After the 51 Renren platform is developed, it can not only be used for individual users, but also for relevant institutions.

With this idea, we can find many things, and we can combine these disseminations with the promotion of IM software.

The overall idea is to be based on the present and face the future.”

Jin Yang smiled and said, "If you want to do it, do it. What name will we give this IM software?"

He Guangwen scratched his head and suddenly said, "How about calling 51talk?"

He Guangwen explained: "The word talk has the meaning of conversation, discussion, discussion, etc., and the four letters are also very simple and easy to remember."

Jin Yang's eyes lit up: "Yes, 51talk is easy to remember, and the meaning is very accurate."

Gao Yang naturally agrees very much. Talk. As for me, it seems that Google also made an IM software, which is called this name, but it seems that it has never entered the Chinese market.

From the perspective of name transmission, it is indeed very suitable.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Okay, then let's make it this way. The 51 Renren.com plan has begun to be promoted as planned. Now in May, we will strive to look like September, and the latest one will not exceed October. Let's go online.

Next, we will divide the labor according to our respective division of labor, and I will solve the affairs of funds and company registration. Everyone will do their own things, especially Guangwen, which will be hard for a while.

Technology development is the first, and the technical and human resources needs should be submitted to Yanran as soon as possible. It is the graduation season for college students, and it is still time to go."

He Guangwen nodded: "Okay, I will report a human resources plan to Yanran tomorrow. Zhang Xuan and I will use our personal relationship to see if we can find a few capable classmates to come and do it together.

In October, it is also appropriate for everyone to go online. The development and initial promotion of this project have ended, so I can also prepare for the Spring Festival wedding with confidence.”

Gao Yang and others smiled and said, "Yes, we are all waiting to drink your wedding wine..."

After the meeting ended, Gao Yang returned to the office. Shao Hanyun, the assistant who just took the meeting minutes, said: "Mr. Gao, the company is about to recruit staff again. I have some classmates and friends. Can I introduce them?"

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you are willing to do things and be motivated, it's fine."

Shao Hanyun said happily: "Mr. Gao, I will definitely recommend the most ambitious and excellent ones."

At this time, Gu Yawen came in and asked, "51 Renren.com, have you decided to do it?"

Gao Yang nodded: "Yes, even if it is started today, Guangwen will immediately arrange the introduction and recruitment of technical personnel."

Gu Yawen asked again: "How many people will be there after this project is fully launched?"

Gao Yang said: "It is certain that dozens of people are number one. If the development goes well, it may expand to about 200 people in about a year."

Gu Yawen said: "The company's current office is not enough at all. Should I ask my mother to buy an office building?"

Gao Yang asked: "Is there any office building that has been transferred in Weber Building now?"

Gu Yawen said: "I haven't noticed it recently."

Shao Hanyun immediately said: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Gu, I'll go and have a look now..."

Shao Hanyun followed and went downstairs to inquire. Gao Yang called Wu Ruohan and Tong Hua to inquire about the funds on Jiaoyang Company's books.

Tong Huahui reported: "By the end of May, if the payment is smooth, it should be 20 million."

Gao Yang nodded: "Okay, I'll get 13 million yuan in special funds at the end of the month. After determining the office location here, I will register for 51 Renren Company immediately."

More than half an hour later, Shao Hanyun came back to report that there was no office building transfer at the moment. On the 14th floor of Building B, there are 1,200 square meters of super-large office building for rent. It has been more than two months and has not been rented out.

The apartment type is the same as the company's office on the 9th floor.

Gao Yang ordered: "Ruohan, go to Hanyun to talk to the owner in the afternoon. If the price is right, you can consider renting it."

In the afternoon, Wu Ruohan took Shao Hanyun to find the owner. After a long time of grinding, he only talked about the price of 2.5 yuan per square meter and the monthly rent of 90,000 yuan.

This is because the area is too large, and the 14th floor makes people feel a bit unlucky.

Gao Yang thought that the monthly rent of 1,200 square meters is 90,000 yuan, which is still good. It is 50 cents less than the 8th and 9th floors, and the daily rent per square meter is 50 cents less, so the owner gave in the price.

At Gao Yang's instruction, Wu Ruohan and the others went to discuss again. Finally, the owner agreed to start renting in June, which is equivalent to waived 20 days of rent.

However, the contract will last for three years.

Gao Yang was naturally willing to agree to such conditions.

Two years later, the 51 Series will definitely be basically formed and can be changed to a group. At that time, the company's funds can definitely be bought directly or built by yourself.

Moreover, in 2008, the real estate market in Beijing would experience a sharp drop...
