Chapter 349

After relying on the co-branded Shenzhou U-disk to let the Tianya input method survive these few years, the domestic internet will be in full swing.

By then, whether it is letting the input method launch advertisements or launching hardware products such as simultaneous translation earphones and translators, the Tianya input method will not lose money. If the operation is more flamboyant, splitting and listing is also fine.

Furthermore, in the future, it will also become one of the most important traffic-attracting platforms under Dongling High-Tech. Even if it really loses money, the Tianya company can afford it.

For the Tianya input method, whether it is now or in the future, Li Dongling has given corresponding countermeasures, which also allows Zhou Zhinong and the input method R&D team to continue to develop and upgrade the Tianya input method with peace of mind.

Hearing the bundling with Shenzhou U-disk proposed by Li Dongling to solve the urgent need of the Tianya input method, Zhou Zhinong, Zhu Chongjun, and others all looked at Li Dongling with complex eyes. They felt that this trick was absolutely feasible.

Now Shenzhou U-disks are still selling hot, or rather, as long as new computer users are still increasing, the number of Shenzhou U-disk users will continue to increase.

And is the Pinyin input method a rigid demand? Before other Pinyin input methods appear, in a certain sense, it is also another kind of rigid demand. For users who have just come into contact with computers, or those who have no time, or are unwilling to learn Wubi, it is a rigid demand!

With two kinds of rigid demands added together, if the sales of the Tianya co-branded Shenzhou U-disk are not pulled up, it is a bit unreasonable.

Now Zhou Zhinong and the others suddenly understand a little why Dongling High-Tech can develop so rapidly!

Guo Jingyun and Zhou Hongyi also looked at their fellow student sitting in the first seat in astonishment. They had a preliminary understanding of Li Dongling's wrist and vision, and it also gave them the feeling that they could still play like this, and the routines could still be put like this.

At this moment, Zhou Jiaozhu's gaze toward Li Dongling was no less than the look of longing and unreachable that he had toward Lei Shen, who was turning the internet upside down in his previous life, whether selling mobile phones or new energy vehicles, with endless marketing themes...

"If Shenzhou U-disk is willing to pull the brother department, the input method team will definitely not have to worry about funds!"

Guo Jingyun said with a smile. Now a 16M Shenzhou U-disk sells for 60 US dollars, 480 RMB. If it can pull up the sales of 50,000 units, that is 24 million in revenue. Sharing 1 or 2 million in funds to the Tianya input method team is enough for the next upgrade.

"What stage has the Tianya Forum reached now?" Li Dongling asked.

Compared to the input method, Li Dongling is much more concerned about the Tianya Forum. Of course, with it, besides being able to pour water, the most important thing, of course, is that Li Dongling hopes that the Tianya Forum can become a flag for Dongling High-Tech on the internet!

In the later generations, perhaps with the emergence of various websites and mobile APPs, forums have declined, but from now on, for the next ten years, or even more than ten years, forums are in their prime period. It has an astonishing number of users and influence on the domestic internet.

Even, to a certain extent, the forum's activity and traffic-attracting ability are even stronger than portal websites, and its influence is even greater. At its peak, the monthly active users of 100 million users may be a bit exaggerated, but it is definitely far beyond various peers.

Of course, Dongling High-Tech cannot stick to one forum, but as long as the Tianya Forum exists, Dongling High-Tech can advance and retreat in the PC internet era for more than ten years, and have a place of its own.

Guo Jingyun looked at Zhou Hongyi, "The technical development of the Tianya Forum is currently mainly led by Hongyi and the technical team!"

Being able to hand over the work of developing the forum to Zhou Jiaozhu shows that he trusts him very much and also recognizes Zhou Jiaozhu's technical ability.

"It is now in the late stage, mainly according to your requirements, Mr. Li, to develop the functions of the five major sections: Tianya Miscellaneous Talk, Tianya Entertainment, Tianya Sports, Tianya Literature, and Tianya Finance!"

Now several sections have been developed and are being tested. If all are developed and tested, it is estimated that it will be around the end of the year, and Tianya Net can be officially launched!"

Zhou Hongyi said to Li Dongling, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again, "Tianya Forum, if there are too many functions online, I am afraid it will need to rent or purchase servers to maintain so many functions of the website!"

Now there is no such thing as crossing the river by feeling the stones. Dongling High-Tech and Tianya Company can be considered the first people to eat internet crabs. Even peers in Silicon Valley don't have these and can only rely on themselves to explore bit by bit.

Li Dongling put forward some requirements for the Tianya Forum, but the Tianya Forum is completely different from the current BBS forums. The website interface design, layout, function design, etc., all need Zhou Jiaozhu to lead people to explore by themselves.

As for whether it makes money or how much it loses after the forum is opened, no one can be sure. Just like the BBS forums all over the country now, they rely entirely on the stationmaster's enthusiasm and fill it with their own pockets. Without some wealth, they really can't afford to raise a BBS site.

The Tianya Forum is much bigger than the various sites of the Huido network. If you add servers, the cost will be even higher!

"After the station is opened, buy a server as a backup!" Li Dongling said directly.

Unlike the input method, even if the Tianya Forum loses money temporarily, Dongling High-Tech can accept it. This is a fortress for Dongling High-Tech in the internet industry and must be guarded.

Everyone at Tianya Net could hear that Li Dongling attached great importance to the Tianya Forum and obviously did not care about the gains and losses in the early stage. After the station was opened, no one mentioned whether it would lose money.

After talking about Tianya Net, Li Dongling glanced at everyone in the conference room, "The agency rights for the Silicon Valley internet company Yahoo are currently with the Zhixing Foundation!"

"If Yahoo can successfully land on the Nasdaq as expected next year, then the Yahoo mainland website will also begin to be established."

If there are no accidents, the Yahoo mainland company will be operated by Tianya Company, and the Yahoo mainland president will also be appointed by Tianya Company!"

Li Dongling released another big news. Hearing this, the executives of Tianya Company showed anticipation on their faces.

If Yahoo lands on the Nasdaq, it will be a listed company worth hundreds of millions of US dollars. Becoming the president of Yahoo mainland company will also become a big figure in the domestic technology industry!

"Mr. Li!"

When the meeting was about to end, a voice with a Lu accent suddenly came out. The one who spoke was Wang Jiangmin.

Wang Jiangmin was thin, but his face was full of perseverance. Wang Jiangmin had polio when he was a child, and his legs were a bit inconvenient, but he liked climbing, swimming, etc., and his personality was much stronger than the average person.

Among the group of programmers in the conference room, he was a half-way monk who entered the computer industry without formal training, but no one present dared to question his strength, especially in computer security.

The security program of the Tianya input method and the security of the Tianya Forum being developed were all developed by him.

After coming to Zhongguancun, although Wang Jiangmin was at Tianya Company, his reputation had already spread to Zhongguancun. He did not yet have the title of the father of antivirus software, but the name of the computer virus expert in Zhongguancun had already appeared in Zhongguancun.

Before Wang Jiangmin, he had already made several antivirus software, including KV100, but they were basically small troubles. Only companies that had heard his reputation or had needs purchased some.

After coming to Zhongguancun, many companies encountered tricky computer virus problems and also found Wang Jiangmin to save the situation in the Jianghu, and Wang Jiangmin could basically solve the trouble. In other words, those computer viruses that popped up in the country were not Wang Jiangmin's opponents.

Li Dongling looked at Wang Jiangmin. Wang Jiangmin hesitated for a moment and then said, "Mr. Li, I want to quit Dongling High-Tech and Tianya Company!"

As soon as this was said, Zhou Zhinong moved his lips, and Zhu Chongjun and Wu Xiaojun's expressions did not change. Obviously, they were aware of it.

"Dongling High-Tech and Tianya Company have treated me well, and the salary offered is much higher than when I was at the Lu Bearing Instrument Factory!"

Wang Jiangmin subconsciously touched the pocket where he put cigarettes and moved his hand away, his face carrying a bit of apology. The treatment Tianya Company gave him was indeed high enough. Guo Jingyun, including Zhou Jiaozhu, who didn't know why but had always been at odds with him, respected him quite a bit.

"But I am already 45 years old this year. Time does not forgive people. If I don't do something I want to do, I am afraid I won't have any chance in my life!" Wang Jiangmin said to Li Dongling.

Li Dongling heard this, but laughed lightly, looked around at everyone in the conference room, and asked Wang Jiangmin, who was a consultant at Tianya Net, "Consultant Wang, what do you want to do?!"

"Antivirus software industry, I am preparing to establish Jiangmin Antivirus Software Company and treat this line as a serious matter!" Wang Jiangmin said without hesitation. Obviously, he had already thought about it.

Li Dongling nodded, was silent for a few seconds, and then raised his head, "Consultant Wang, if you are willing, Dongling High-Tech and Tianya Company can venture capital your antivirus software company!"

"Even if you go out, you are still from Tianya Company. Our own people must help each other. In the future, if people from Tianya Company break up peacefully with Tianya Company and go out to set up their own doors."

"As long as you don't fight for food with Tianya Company, if there is demand, if Tianya Company can help, it will definitely help!"

Li Dongling's words are also telling Zhou Zhinong, Zhu Chongjun, Wu Xiaojun, including Zhou Hongyi and others, that as long as they go out and don't fight for food with Tianya Company, that is setting up their own doors, and Tianya Company is also willing to venture capital the companies they establish.

Early technology companies, whether it is Jin Shan, Sohu, or Ali, have appeared many big shots. Like Sohu, it is even called the Whampoa Military Academy of the internet, and many big figures in the internet have gone out.
