What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
Within the company, the criticism that Lao Liu was a poor manager was growing louder.
Wujiang Group followed a "technology, industry, and trade" approach and has now developed into a global giant!
Lenovo followed a "trade-industry-technology" route and developed into a small comprador enterprise!
The most ridiculous thing is that when Wujiang Group poached people from Lenovo, Liu Chuanzhi deliberately let it go, handing over all of Lenovo's technical personnel to Wujiang Group.
Submitting this matter is like rubbing salt into Yanagawa's wounds.
This has always been a source of resentment for Liu Chuanzhi, who deeply hates Zhao Ye.
Sometimes, Liu Chuanzhi would think that if Wujiang Group hadn't poached people from Lenovo, and Lenovo had its own research and development team, it wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
Liu Chuanzhi placed all the blame on Zhao Ye and the Wujiang Group.
"A broken website that's still losing money has a market value of over 100 billion US dollars? Are all those institutions and retail investors idiots?" Liu Chuanzhi said angrily, furious that they were all fools. However, deep down, Liu Chuanzhi was envious and wished he could take their place. Why didn't he develop the portal website himself?
In fact, seeing how favored Wujiang Portal was by Wall Street capital, Liu Chuanzhi also had the idea of starting his own website.
Just like Kong Yiji said: "The monk can touch it, but I can't?"
Lenovo can also create portal websites!
The following morning, Liu Chuanzhi convened a meeting and announced that Lenovo would enter the portal website market and try to get a share of the pie.
"I'm sure everyone knows about Wujiang Portal's listing on NASDAQ," Liu Chuanzhi said slowly, his expression serious.
"We know!!!" Everyone nodded in unison.
"Well, since you know that, you must all be quite envious. As the saying goes, 'It's better to weave a net than to stand by the water and envy the fish,' so why don't we, Lenovo, develop a portal website?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in support.
The internet market is just too tempting.
Upon seeing this, Liu Chuanzhi nodded and smiled slightly, then shared his pre-thought-out ideas on how to create and develop a portal website.
"First, let me talk about the website name. It's called 'Lenovo FM365 Website.' FM stands for FM radio, and a year has 365 days. The main function of a portal website is to provide news, so I think the name Lenovo FM365 Website is a good match for a portal website. What do you think?"
Of course it's good! What else could I think? Aren't I afraid you'll make things difficult for me?
Everyone agreed.
Liu Chuan nodded in satisfaction, and then continued.
As the head of Lenovo, a company known for its learning spirit, Liu Chuanzhi is well-versed in the art of learning. He immediately stated that Lenovo's FM365 website directly copied Wujiang Portal, and that whatever Wujiang Portal had, Lenovo's FM365 website should have as well.
These words resonated deeply with the executives.
Liu Chuanzhi smiled with satisfaction and then made a bold statement: "We at Lenovo will use the most popular people to create the most popular advertisements, burn through 100 million yuan a year, and become the most popular website in China in three years!!!"
At this point, Liu Chuanzhi expressed his disdain for Wujiang Portal's decision not to hire celebrities as spokespeople.
He believed that as long as Lenovo hired the hottest celebrities to advertise, it would quickly be able to seize market share from Wujiang Portal in China.
In the field of marketing, Liu Chuanzhi believes he has some skills!
"Mr. Liu, who should we invite to be the spokesperson for Lenovo FM365 website?" an executive asked.
Liu Chuanzhi already had a plan in mind, and immediately replied without hesitation: "I plan to invite Jackie Chan to be the spokesperson for the website! Jackie Chan is an Asian superstar with great fame in China, as well as in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia."
"I recently read in the newspaper that Jackie Chan is starring in the sci-fi blockbuster 'Independence Day,' produced by the Shanghai Animation Film Studio. The film's production cost alone exceeded 560 million RMB, a scale comparable to Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters! I believe in the strength of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio. Once 'Independence Day' is released, Jackie Chan's fame and popularity will increase significantly! At that time, if we invite Jackie Chan to be the spokesperson for Lenovo FM365 website, it will definitely have a huge impact on our website!"
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their support.
The decision to have Jackie Chan as their spokesperson was made on the spot.
After the meeting, Liu Chuanzhi asked his assistant to contact Cheng Long, and then wrote an article in his office, which he then emailed to all Lenovo employees.
Are you ready for the internet age?
...
Starting in November, the number of domestic internet companies surged.
A large amount of foreign capital has entered China, and some of it has been invested in the internet sector.
Zhao Ye wasn't surprised that Lenovo was creating a portal website, but he was surprised that Lenovo had hired Jackie Chan as its spokesperson.
To this, Zhao Ye can only say, Lenovo did a great job!
Choosing Jackie Chan as a spokesperson was a very wise decision!
I just don't know how long the Lenovo FM365 website can last...
At this moment, there are as many domestic portal websites as there are dumplings being dropped into a pot, and the competition among them is becoming increasingly fierce.
But it doesn't matter, none of them can threaten the position of Wujiang Portal.
Zhao Ye actually welcomed these portal websites because they could contribute to Wujiang Group and increase its revenue. For example, servers cost money, broadband costs money, advertising and promoting the portal websites cost money, and purchasing enterprise versions of Wujiang Cloud Drive, etc.
Right now, Zhao Ye's most important task is preparing for his wedding; everything else is secondary.
