1998 can be considered the inaugural year of China's portal websites.
In that year, Sohu, Sina, and Tencent were established one after another, and the wave of the Internet surged in.
Liu Feng also wanted to catch up with this booming trend and carve out his own niche in the online world.
lounge.
Liu Feng sat comfortably on the leather sofa, leisurely sipping tea and taking a nap.
at this time.
Zhang Kaitai stepped into the room, followed by a group of energetic young people.
"Liu Feng, I've poached someone for you!" Zhang Kaitai said with a broad smile.
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng's gaze instantly focused on those young faces.
He stood up and shook hands with each of them to greet them.
Afterwards, everyone sat down, and the staff quickly served exquisite tea and snacks.
After Zhang Kaitai's introduction.
Liu Feng's gaze lingered particularly on the young man wearing black-rimmed glasses.
His name is Li Yang, and he is the core figure of this team.
Having served as the deputy chief engineer at Yinghaiwei, China's first internet company, he is not only a core member of the team but also a rare talent in the industry.
Unfortunately, Yinghaiwei was destined not to go far.
In essence, it was a gathering place for righteous men. At first, it seemed extremely professional, but in the end, it was just like the Liangshan Marsh.
Initially, everyone was full of enthusiasm and tied together to start the business, blurring the lines between boss and employee.
They worked together for a while and then broke up.
At Yinghaiwei, the vast majority of employees are completely unaware of their own future prospects, the company's future prospects, and what the general manager is actually doing.
That's why.
Yinghaiwei, which was once at its peak, only enjoyed two years of glory before sinking into the rolling waves of the internet and disappearing without a trace.
Let's get back to the present.
Li Yang is indeed a talented individual. Zhang Kaitai went to great lengths to invite him over, and it cost him a considerable sum.
The creation of Xianshan Entertainment City can be said to be partly due to its purpose in catering to these young people.
Half of the entire sixth floor was temporarily set up as offices for them.
The interior is fully equipped and luxurious.
The working environment in their company in Zhongguancun is much better than before.
This is thanks to Uncle Zhang's frequent travels to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, which broadened his horizons.
The office space he built was naturally of high quality, and most importantly, he had ample funds and was willing to invest heavily.
After seeing the company's environment, Li Yang was extremely surprised that such a small county town had such high-end facilities.
At this time.
When he saw Liu Feng again, he found it even more unbelievable.
It turned out that the person behind the scenes whom Zhang Kaitai brought them to meet was actually a young boy.
He wondered to himself, "Could it be that I was invited here to play with this boy?"
Liu Feng then said, "Welcome to join us. This will be the best decision you've ever made. The next ten years belong to the internet, and also to us creating a legend."
"Do you think this is a video game? It's not that easy." The crowd couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
"Mr. Li, now that you've chosen to leave Yinghaiwei, how long do you think it can hold on?" Liu Feng asked.
"I don't know, I'd like to hear Mr. Liu's opinion," Li Yang replied.
"It will take at least two years, and at most three years!" Liu Feng asserted decisively.
Upon hearing this, no one could say for sure.
China's first internet company, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, how could it possibly perish so quickly?
They simply don't believe it.
Liu Feng didn't give them a chance to question, and said directly, "Yinghaiwei has four major flaws, and its decline is inevitable. First, its market positioning is unclear, lacking clear goals and direction; second, it relied on the paid model too early, ignoring the huge potential of the free model; third, its technical development capabilities are weak and its services are insufficient..."
Li Yang was deeply shocked; what Liu Feng said was exactly what he had been thinking.
That hits the nail on the head.
Knowing the problem is one thing, but knowing how to solve it is the key.
He couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Mr. Liu, is there any solution?"
Liu Feng continued, "We adopt a free strategy to acquire users for free, and then generate revenue through monetization methods such as advertising, value-added information services, and enterprise-level services..."
A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study.
They seemed to have emerged from the previous fog and found their way forward.
Liu Feng shared his understanding of the internet from his previous life, selecting only the simplest parts.
This immediately moved everyone present.
Next, Liu Feng put forward his own requirements: "Establish a portal website and a search engine, seize content, and take advantage of the opportunities brought by the development of the Internet."
Everyone gathered together.
After working day and night for more than two months, the basic framework of the portal website and search engine was finally finalized. The most difficult part was that the search engine algorithm had many problems.
The only solution is to increase investment in technical personnel and gradually overcome the challenges.
However, there are talents who understand both technology and have the ability to process algorithms and data.
Relatively scarce.
The final decision was to move to Kyoto, which has a well-developed network infrastructure and gathers the best internet talent in China, so technology and operations are not problems.
In October 1998, Liu Feng's "Future Vision" was registered and established in Zhongguancun, Kyoto.
In November 1998, all of Yinghaiwei's middle and senior management personnel, except for the general manager, resigned collectively.
It has provided a large number of talents for "Future Vision".
To Liu Feng's surprise, some of these talents had developed an "online payment system," which was quite advanced internationally at the time.
Initially, Yinghaiwei invested heavily in hiring a group of elites to create an "online payment system," but after it was put into the network, it disappeared without a trace and was abandoned.
Liu Feng brought together this group of elites to work independently and continue to develop and refine the "payment system".
The establishment of Future Vision requires a large amount of capital investment in its early stages.
Meanwhile, in Hong Kong...
