When Kang Jianfei brought someone to the door, Hu Juncai was taking care of his child at home. His son was called Hu Zhao, who was almost one and a half years old and had a tiger-like head.
"Hurry up and call your godfather!" Hu Juncai came over with his son in his arms.
The child had a bad memory and had no impression of Kang Jianfei at all. Hu Zhao called "godfather" and turned his attention to the short Ma Yun, because among all the people, Ma Yun had the strangest appearance, like an alien.
have to.
Ye Zishan made a few cups of tea and brought it over, and then went to chat with Tao Huimin, not to get involved in the affairs between their men.
Even without Kang Jianfei's introduction, Ma Yun took the initiative to speak: "Hello, Mr. Hu, my name is Ma Yun, and this is my partner Guo Qinghuai. We founded a website called China Yellow Pages..."
In 1880, the world's first telephone directory containing advertisements was issued. Because it was printed on yellow paper, it was called the "Yellow Pages". Since then, "Yellow Pages" has become a professional term through which people can understand
All kinds of information.
At this time, Chinese people did not have the concept of portal websites, and these websites with various information were collectively referred to as so-and-so Yellow Pages.
Ma Yun only heard about the Internet at the end of last year. At that time, China had been fully connected to the Internet for more than half a year. At the beginning of last year, Ma Yun went to the United States. He knew nothing about computers and had his first real contact with the Internet.
.
It was as if a door to a new world had opened. Two months after being exposed to the Internet, Ma Yun's website was opened. He, his wife and a friend scraped together 20,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and registered.
He founded a Haibo Internet company and named the website China Yellow Pages.
Nowadays, all websites in China are losing money, but Ma Yun is particularly capable. Even if he had not met Kang Jianfei, in the original time and space, he would have made 5 million in three years relying on this website.
In the future, China Yellow Pages will be characterized as a BB commercial website, serving as an interactive platform between enterprises and users. But at this time, it is far less formal, and Ma Yun does not even know what BB is.
"So, you are here to ask me to advertise BBK on the website?" Hu Juncai also didn't know much about the Internet.
In order to promote his website more intuitively, Ma Yun asked: "Does Mr. Hu have a computer at home?"
"There is one in the study," Hu Juncai said.
Ma Yun said: "I can show it to you personally on the computer."
If they hadn't been brought by Kang Jianfei, Hu Juncai would never have let them in. He glanced at Kang Jianfei, who nodded with a smile, and then said, "Come with me."
Several people came to the study room. The room was very large, and the bookshelves were mostly filled with books on literature, history, industry and commerce. Many of the books had been refurbished and looked like they were not furnishings. Hu Juncai was quite motivated.
However, the computer was a prototype. It was brand new and had not been used for a long time. The letters on the keyboard were clear and there were not many signs of use.
Ma Yun was not polite and sat directly in front of the computer to open the web page and skillfully entered the URL of the China Yellow Pages.
Kang Jianfei took a look and found that Hu Juncai's computer was also using the IE browser. It must have come with it during installation. This is the power of Microsoft. Whether it is EC or Netscape browser, it cannot compete with the IE browser.
Grab the market.
After opening the China Yellow Pages, Kang Jianfei only glanced at it a few times and lost interest. Because the website was too rough and the positioning was also very vague. It contained information about various companies and products, as well as relevant introductions from government departments. It was a complete hodgepodge.
.
Contrary to Kang Jianfei's disdain, Hu Juncai was quite interested in this. He clicked on multiple links in succession and found that he could easily find information about certain products. He nodded and praised: "This website is very good. It will be more convenient to do business in the future."
many."
Seeing that he seemed interested, Ma Yun excitedly introduced: "Our website is very comprehensive. Mr. Hu, look here. Even government departments have cooperated with us. It is definitely the most formal and influential Yellow Pages in China. Just put it
BBK's product information is placed on it, so both ordinary customers and dealers can easily see it..."
After Balabala talked a lot, Hu Juncai was still browsing the Yellow Pages carefully, but Kang Jianfei suddenly said: "Boss Ma, how much traffic does your website have?"
"Traffic?" Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, because he met someone knowledgeable, and his face became a little embarrassed.
China Yellow Pages is a commercial website that has the prototype of a BB. It only provides product information and a small amount of departmental and institutional information. Only special groups of people will pay attention to this thing. Ordinary people are not even interested in taking a look. How can the traffic increase?
?
Ma Yun usually relies on deception to get business, and he talks like an information highway. This word is often used in newspapers now, and it sounds like high-tech. With a few professional terms, he can easily confuse people.
In particular, some government agencies and state-owned enterprises spend money to advertise in the China Yellow Pages, mostly for the sake of face and political performance.
Is showing your face on the Internet considered a political achievement?
This may seem funny to us today when the Internet is popular. But it was indeed the case at the time. Newspapers would say this: XX company has achieved globalization and informatization...
Ma Yun is also very brave. He only has a crappy website with little attention, so he dares to carry his wallet and go to the national ministries and commissions to solicit business. Although he is often bullied, he has actually negotiated a few business deals.
Guo Qinghuai, who had been silent until now, asked: "Mr. Kang also understands the Internet?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and asked: "Have you ever heard of EITC and OCW?"
"I know," Ma Yun nodded subconsciously, "EITC is the world's first commercial Internet company, and OCW is the world's largest commercial website."
"EITC is my company." Kang Jianfei said.
His tone was casual, but in the ears of Ma Yun and Guo Qinghuai, it was like a thunder.
"EITC is Mr. Kang's company?" Ma Yun said in disbelief.
It was a top company that led the technological trend and created the Internet business era. Although there were rumors that the boss of EITC was Chinese, Ma Yun subconsciously thought that he should be a Chinese American.
Ma Yun never expected that the founder of EITC would actually be standing in front of him, and he would even come to deceive others.
Hu Juncai was also surprised: "When did you engage in the Internet again?"
"The website of Boss Ma was earlier than the year before last," Kang Jianfei said to Ma Yun with a smile, "I am a little interested in your Chinese Yellow Pages. Have you ever thought about cooperation?"
"How to cooperate?" Ma Yun no longer dared to fool around.
Kang Jianfei said: "My Oriental Charm Network is a commercial portal for all netizens. Boss Ma's China Yellow Pages is another very novel model. I value its potential very much. For government agencies to promote things,
Don't do it anymore, specialize in providing enterprise product information. Enterprises exchange products, services and information through the Internet, and the website is this exchange platform. Why not give this model a name BB
."
"BB?" Ma Yun frowned and began to think seriously.
Kang Jianfei smiled and nodded: "Yes, BTB, Business to Business."
Ma Yun pondered these three English words carefully, and suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his head, and his previously vague ideas suddenly became clear. (To be continued)
