Liang Shichu was really frightened by Chen Fan's words.
He was worried that Chen Fan was confused by his grades during this period and was drifting away.
If the boss really gets carried away and starts giving orders recklessly, the company will be in real trouble.
Seeing Liang Shichu's nervous look, Chen Fan smiled.
"Lao Liang, don't be impatient. Just listen to me slowly."
Chen Fan took the teapot from the other person and poured Liang Shichu a cup of tea.
Put down the teacup and look at each other with a smile.
"Based on your understanding of you, do you think you are the kind of person who gets cocky easily when you have some achievements?"
Liang Shichu thought about it and shook his head.
“This is it.”
"I believe that 놖's decision is based on 놖's judgment of the future of the Internet."
Liang Shichu opened his mouth and said, "But, if we recruit so many people at once, our current company space...can't accommodate them."
"Then move to a bigger office building."
Chen Fan waved his hand proudly: "Next you can recruit more people and have them look for a new office building."
"If there is a suitable commercial building, it is not a problem to directly rent an entire building."
"I can tell you a secret. I am planning to set up a real estate company and will enter the real estate industry in the future."
"When we have the strength in the future, we can build a company building of our own."
Liang Shichu opened his mouth slightly.
I originally thought that the boss's expansion of staff was exaggerated.
It seems that Chen Fan not only invested in Feifan Technology, but also crossed over to the real estate industry.
Liang Shichu smiled bitterly: "Boss, if you do this, you will have to rent a new office building and double the number of employees. The funds...are just a small amount."
Chen Fan smiled.
“Funding is the problem.”
"Our company is currently making some money. We can always leave it in a bank account to earn interest."
"Lao Liang, you must believe that only when you spend money can you earn more money back."
Liang Shichu was still a little relaxed.
"But why are you hiring so many people?"
Chen Fan sat up straight, his expression rarely becoming serious.
"The reason why we made this decision is because we consider the future development of the domestic Internet."
"In the past two years, the number of domestic Internet users has skyrocketed, and domestic Internet companies have begun to develop from the embryonic stage to the competitive stage."
"Faced with the blue ocean of the domestic Internet, our start is both early and late."
"But next, no matter whether you admit it or not, all companies will enter a very fierce period of competition. This process may last for several years or even more, until eventually, two or three Internet giants are born."
Liang Shichu nodded. He himself made a living in the Internet industry, so it was natural for him to understand what Chen Fan said.
Chen Fan picked up the teacup in front of him and gently placed it in the middle of the table.
"We have enjoyed some benefits from starting early, but there are too many competitors behind us. All we can do is to maintain this advantage."
"And what we have to do now is to grab a spot in front of everyone..."
“No matter what product we launch first, no matter how many other companies launch it later, it will be labeled as a copycat or even a knockoff.”
"What we do is to maintain our first-mover advantage and then tell all competitors the same thing."
"He who imitates 놖 will die, and he who plagiarizes 놖 will perish!"
Liang Shichu stared at Chen Fan blankly, his eyes somewhat excited.
He was naturally a person who was easily instigated, but at this moment, Chen Fan's words made his blood boil.
Chen Fan glanced at Liang Shichu and continued.
"It's not about rising after achieving some results, but about making new plans for the development of the incoming companies."
"In the next period of time, the video website that you told me about is a research and development direction. And I have another idea."
"We plan to conduct dual-line research and development, recruit more people and develop another product at the same time."
Liang Shichu was really trying to hold back.
"You, what direction do you plan to develop?"
Chen Fan smiled slightly: "Mobile browser...what do you think?"
"Mobile browser?"
Liang Shichu was shocked again.
"Mobile browser? This... seems like there has never been a similar product online?"
"And boss, to be honest, with the current mobile phone network speed, isn't it a bit too early to develop a mobile browser now?"
Chen Fan showed a confident smile.
"Both domestically and abroad, the research and development of 3G networks has actually already begun."
"I believe that in the next few years, 3G will be launched soon, and it will completely change the Internet ecosystem."
“Although it is the 2G era now, our mobile phone browsers can focus only on pictures and text news. When 3G is launched in the future, video and image transmission will become the mainstream.”
"Lao Liang, we have experience in developing GO Navigation Home, and I believe we should have an advantage over other manufacturers in terms of development."
"I believe that as long as we can develop these two products, video websites and mobile browsers, we will be able to stand out in the future 3G era."
Liang Shichu remained silent.
After a while, he picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all.
Bang.
"Fuck! Old Liang is convinced by you."
"I have to say, boss, you really should go into marketing. You are really good at persuading people."
Chen Fan smiled, raised his teacup and motioned for another to drink it in one gulp.
Liang Shichu rubbed his hands.
"Okay. Next, we will follow your plan and look for an office building first, then recruit more people. Once we have enough people, we will immediately launch the two projects."
Chen Fan reminded: "Both projects were developed at the same time, but the mobile browser project had a higher priority. At a critical moment, the development of the video website could even be put on hold."
“We must ensure that our mobile browser software is online first.”
Seeing Chen Fan's serious tone, Liang Shichu couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, do you have a time limit for the R&D cycle?"
Chen Fan hesitated for two seconds and then spoke.
“It has to be online before August next year.”
Liang Shichu was stunned.
August next year.
There is still about a month of research and development cycle, and the time is very tight.
Of course, he was more concerned about the time Chen Fan mentioned.
It's so detailed.
This shows that the boss must have heard some news.
And it is very likely that this product is designed to intercept a certain product.
Looking at it this way, I realize that I am facing a lot of pressure.
Chen Fan remained silent and looked down at the tea on the table.
August 2004. UC Browser was officially launched.
…
After talking to Liang Shichu, I declined his request to have dinner together.
Chen Fan walked out of the company alone, still thinking about the conversation just now, when the phone in his pocket rang.
I took it out and saw that it was Su Ruchu calling.
A brilliant smile immediately appeared on Chen Fan's face.
"Hey, wife, are you out of class? Come back right away and we'll have dinner together."
Su Ruchu's tone on the other end of the phone sounded a little awkward.
"Um... your club is holding Jay Chou and SHE concerts recently, right?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Yes. Did you know this all along?"
"So... is there a set time?"
"It will be on Friday."
Su Ruochu asked somewhat embarrassedly: "Is it true that only club members can go to the concert?"
Chen Fan was stunned, then he said jokingly, "Why? Do you want to go?"
"Are you the boss lady or a member? Just go in and no one will dare to stop you."
Su Ruochu asked shyly, "Oh, it's really you."
"Yes... Song Linlin wants to go to the concert and wants to ask if you have any special tickets!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan was immediately happy.
"Are you still asking? You are the boss, you can let anyone in if you want."
