"Su Wang, you have never been to the capital. After this trip to the capital is finished, I will take you around, climb the Great Wall, go to the Tiananmen Forbidden City, and see the chairman's photo."
After getting off the plane, Sun Liancheng patted Su Wang on the shoulder. Su Wang could only roll his eyes silently in his heart.
For people who come to Beijing for the first time, the Great Wall and Tiananmen are must-see places. Especially for people before the 1980s, a visit to Tiananmen to see the photos of great men is like a pilgrimage.
However, Su Wang couldn't arouse much interest, because in his previous life, he was no stranger to the capital. He had also drifted north for half a year, climbed the Great Wall seven or eight times, and visited Tiananmen no less than ten times.
There is no way, for people who come to the capital for the first time, this is a must-see attraction, and some of Su Wang's classmates come to the capital to visit, and Su Wang wants to take them to visit, so naturally they have to go to these two attractions, the number of times they come
If there are too many, there will naturally be no freshness.
Regarding this point, Su Wang once saw a joke on the Internet. There was a student who went to college in Jiujiang. According to his complaints on the Internet, after four years of college, he climbed the entire Mount Lushan no less than thirty times.
Relatives at home would come to play and take them to climb Mount Lushan. High school classmates would also come to play and climb Mount Lushan. When dating girls, they would also climb Mount Lushan. He would know almost every plant and tree in Mount Lushan.
It's not scary to study in a tourist city in college. What's scary is that the city where you study is a famous tourist spot.
"Uncle Sun, I'm going to take the final exam soon."
"What kind of test are you going to take? I think you can just drop out and study in my company. I'll give you a job as a vice president, and your salary will be hundreds of thousands a year. It's no problem." Sun Liancheng said proudly.
Su Wang was a little depressed. Before he had a holiday, Sun Liancheng asked him to accompany him to the capital.
The reasons given by Sun Liancheng are also very sufficient. The planning of the Majiayou project can be said to have come from Su Wang. Now that it is the first step to come to the capital to advertise, Su Wang cannot be absent.
As for asking for leave from the school, Sun Liancheng had already arranged it, so Su Wang didn't need to worry about it. Su Wang couldn't even find a reason to refuse.
If Su Wang knew that the real reason why Sun Liancheng wanted to take him with him was because he was afraid that he would defraud his precious daughter while he was away, he would be so depressed that he would vomit blood.
The wind in the capital was very cold and dry, but Sun Liancheng didn't leave much time for Su Wang to rest. The group left the airport and headed straight for their destination.
Zhongguancun!
This name may be unfamiliar to people who don’t understand the Internet industry, but for people in the Internet industry, the three words Zhongguancun have endless charm.
Lenovo, Baidu, JD.com, Xiaomi...
Many well-known Internet companies came out of here, and this is also the germination place of domestic Internet companies.
In 1995, a woman erected a sign in Zhongguancun full of colorful patterns and a sentence: How far are Chinese people from the information highway? 1,500 meters to the north.
Yinghaiwei Time and Space, China's earliest Internet company, was born in Zhongguancun. At that time, NetEase, Sina, and Sohu had not yet been established. Jack Ma might still be studying his Chinese Yellow Pages, and Ma Huateng was just a programmer at a telecommunications company.
As for Robin Li, he still works for people in Silicon Valley.
Su Wang knows very well that no matter where the Internet giants of later generations move to, when it comes to Zhongguancun, it is still the holy place in the minds of Internet companies. The reason is because this is the origin of Chinese Internet companies.
In 2008, Zhongguancun was already booming. Stepping into Zhongguancun, Su Wang looked up and saw many huge billboards, including Lenovo, Baidu, and the famous Pacific Computer City.
Each replacement of these billboards represents the history of the rise and fall of an enterprise. It can be said that no place has the development and destruction of enterprises at such a rapid speed, and this is the speed of the Internet.
Sun Liancheng had made an appointment a long time ago. After arriving in Zhongguancun, a middle-aged man led everyone towards the computer city. The entire computer city was crowded with merchants and customers selling electronic equipment.
"This is Pacific Cyber City, and it's a bit too big."
When Su Wang heard the words of the people around him, a smile appeared on his face. The Pacific Digital City was at its most prosperous at this time, and almost all computer cities across the country were named after the Pacific Ocean.
However, it was precisely because of its excessive glory that the leaders of Digital City lacked a sense of crisis. Many merchants joined forces to deceive customers, and the reputation of Digital City gradually became bad. When e-commerce fully emerged a few years later, Digital City ushered in a crisis.
It came to an end and had to choose to close.
After passing through the Cyber City, Su Wang and his party finally arrived at Sina.com, which was Sun Liancheng's first stop in Beijing.
According to Su Wang's publicity plan, if you want to advertise on online media, you must choose a portal website. At this time, the portal websites are nothing more than large sites such as Sina, Sohu, and NetEase.
Su Wang did not participate in the business negotiations. Among the team members brought by Sun Liancheng, there were also talents who knew the Internet and knew how to sign advertising agreements. He did not need to worry about this matter.
Su Wang joined Sina's office area alone with great interest.
There is a big difference between Internet companies and traditional companies. Some traditional industries worth hundreds of millions or even billions often have many office areas and various leadership and management offices. However, Internet companies are often large.
There are hundreds of computers in the office area, with a staff member sitting in front of each computer.
For people who don’t understand the Internet industry, it’s hard to imagine that the value created by just a few dozen computers in an area of over a hundred square meters can be as high as hundreds of millions or even billions.
While Su Wang was visiting, a young man walked out of an office not far away. The man frowned slightly, as if he had encountered something disturbing.
The young man lowered his head and thought, seemingly not noticing Su Wang in front of him. Fortunately, Su Wang noticed the other person, and the moment he was about to collide with the other person, he ducked sideways.
"Excuse me!"
Su Wang's actions woke up the young man. The young man smiled apologetically at Su Wang. Su Wang didn't pay attention. He smiled and said it didn't matter and walked over. However, when he walked to the door of the office where the man came out, he subconsciously scanned it.
Look at the sign on the office door: Sina CTO Cheng Binghao.
When he saw this brand, Su Wang was stunned for a moment. The name gave him a familiar feeling. But after he searched for memories in his mind, his eyes lit up because he thought about why he felt familiar with this name.
.
Cheng Binghao, former CTO of Sina and later founder of Kaixin.com.
Kaixin.com is no stranger to Su Wang. He registered an account on this website when he was in college. It was the first website in China to combine social networking and gaming, and it also achieved great success.
"If it were him, then it wouldn't be long before he resigned from Sina and founded Kaixin.com."
Su Wang touched his chin, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, that is, riding on Cheng Binghao's east wind.
You know, Kaixin.com has been making rapid progress since its establishment. It was extremely prosperous until 2013. That is to say, with the rise of the mobile Internet era, Kaixin.com began to gradually come to an end.
"If you haven't met it, forget it. Now that you have met it, you must not miss this opportunity."
Su Wang made a decision, looked at Cheng Binghao's leaving figure, and quickly chased after him.
…
A coffee shop in Zhongguancun.
Cheng Binghao looked at the little boy sitting opposite him. Yes, in Cheng Binghao's view, the other person was just a little boy. He might not even be eighteen years old yet. But what made him feel even more dumbfounded was that he would accept a little boy.
The boy invites him to sit and drink coffee with him.
What caused me to do this was because of what the other person said when he was at the door of the company: Mr. Cheng, I don’t know if you are interested in social games.
No one knows better than Cheng Binghao himself how shocked he felt when he heard this sentence.
The idea of social games had sprouted in his mind half a year ago, and he had discussed it with his colleagues, but none of his colleagues could accept his idea. He even thought that putting the game on the website would be detrimental to Sina.
It causes damage to the image in the minds of netizens.
As a portal website, it naturally requires authority, and Sina has always done this, and this is also their advantage.
At this time, the Internet already had a chain of contempt. Those who read news online despised those who chatted online, and those who chatted online despised those who played games online. In the minds of netizens born in the 1980s and even those born in the 1970s, the Internet is only used for reading news.
Serious business, chatting and playing games are just a waste of time.
This can be seen from the development trajectory of Tencent, which is also a portal website.
In 2008, Tencent already had Tencent.com, with huge users of QQ, and direct access to Tencent.com, but in terms of news information, it could never be compared with Sina Sohu at the time. This is the reason.
In the view of Sina's senior management, if games are added, it is likely to reduce the authority of Sina in the hearts of netizens. After all, games at this time are equivalent to opium in the minds of adults.
Without support for his ideas, Cheng Binghao had not been comfortable at Sina in the past few months. He wanted to leave his job and start a business several times, but he never made up his mind.
On the other side of the table, Su Wang also had the answer in his mind at this moment. Cheng Binghao's intention to create Kaixin.com was not a temporary idea. I am afraid that this idea has been lingering in his mind for a long time.
In this case, it would save him a lot of effort. What he has to do now is how to make Cheng Binghao willing to let him ride on Kaixin.com's car.
