"One million US dollars?" Ma Guoliang was surprised. This amount of money was not too little, but too much.
He never dreamed that he would receive such a generous reward for simply completing a task assigned by Chen Dong.
"This isn't much money, just take it."
Hearing this, Ma Guoliang gave a wry smile, his heart filled with warmth.
"Thank you, boss."
"You're welcome, you deserve it." Chen Dong nodded with a smile. Wang Cai and the others also smiled and congratulated him. Some even suggested that Ma Guoliang treat them, which he readily agreed to.
One million US dollars, at the current exchange rate, is close to ten million Hong Kong dollars. This amount is enough to buy a decent apartment in Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong's property market has been rising in recent years, it is still far from its peak. In particular, the recent devaluation of the Thai baht caused the property market to drop by several percentage points. It's not just Chen Dong and his group who are smart; there are many smart people in this world, and T and his team also sensed something unusual in this crisis.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic." After everyone had finished laughing and joking for a while, Chen Dong immediately called a halt and said, "Manager Ma, I'd also like to trouble you to register a new internet company in the Cayman Islands."
"It's best to have several companies with overlapping shareholding structures. If there are any issues you don't understand, consult Attorney Zhang to resolve them together."
Upon hearing the words "internet company," Annie's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Boss, are you going to start an internet company?"
It's important to know that the internet is no stranger to Annie and her friends. If we're talking about the best-performing stocks in the stock market in recent years, internet companies are definitely among them.
Chen Dong had Annie invest in many internet companies early on, such as Microsoft, Apple, and Cisco. These listed companies brought Chen Dong substantial returns, with Microsoft being a prime example, its stock price increasing tenfold in just two or three years since its IPO.
Annie was so surprised to hear Chen Dong say he wanted to start an internet company, since, according to past practice, Chen Dong usually chose to invest rather than personally take charge.
"Yes!" Chen Dong nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right. The Internet is currently the hottest industry. If we don't enter the market now, it will probably be too late when everyone has already divided up the pie."
"Boss, have you decided what industry to go for?" Annie couldn't help but ask.
While current internet companies appear to be growing rapidly, ultimately, they haven't found a way to monetize their profits. Microsoft's rapid growth stems from its focus on system development; once you buy a computer, you can't do without an operating system.
While Windows may not be the best choice, and in some aspects even falls short of Apple's iOS, it is relatively easier to develop with. In contrast, Apple's iOS is more like a sealed can, not easily accessible, which has led more and more users to choose Windows over iOS.
However, profitable internet companies, whether Microsoft or Apple, cannot do without the support of their operating systems. In terms of software, there is currently no consensus on what can be sustained for profitability.
"We've already made some progress." Chen Dong smiled and continued, "If you have any talent in programming or databases, please try to help me. This is a massive database project."
Moving a shopping mall online isn't difficult. Simply add the appropriate programs and images to display the products, and users can see them by entering the correct URL.
But Chen Dong's ambitions go far beyond that. In other words, his main product right now is just an MP3 player, but in the future, he will inevitably add more products. At that time, as the number of products increases, they will definitely be categorized. In the later stages, the products pushed to users will also vary depending on their browsing habits.
It's somewhat similar to the big data we use today. It allows you to tailor your approach to different people, providing customers with products they're interested in based on their individual preferences.
Of course, it's still a long way off before he can achieve all of this, but since he knows the future direction, he can avoid many detours and build this part ahead of time using a straight-line approach.
And cultivating internet talent is the most crucial step, and also the first and most difficult step in everything.
“Okay, boss.” Annie nodded. Although she didn’t know exactly what Chen Dong wanted to do, finding good programmers was a necessary stage for every internet company.
night.
The Li Family Mansion.
Richard Li knocked on the study door.
"Dad, did I disturb you?"
"Come in." A deep voice came from inside the room.
At Li Ka-shing's age, self-cultivation is essential, and he likes to practice calligraphy and painting in his study every night, which not only cultivates his character but also keeps his mind clear.
This is also the choice of many wealthy people, not what people see as parties and socialites. Those are platforms built by the middle class to meet wealthy people in the upper class.
When people truly reach a certain status and have a certain amount of money, they actually don't like to attend these kinds of gatherings, just like Li Ka-shing is doing now.
Soon, the study door was pushed open.
Li Jiacheng picked up a wolf-hair brush and began to write with great skill on a piece of Xuan paper. In no time, the two characters "舍得" (meaning "willing to part with") appeared on the paper.
"Excellent calligraphy!" Li Zekai exclaimed sincerely. Li Jiacheng's calligraphy had reached a certain level of skill, and even renowned calligraphers could not find many faults in it.
