Chapter 34 - Chapter 34 A lesson worth millions (Part 2)

Fang Zhuo took the whiteboard and marked a black dot on it with a pen.

"When we build a registration network, we must first understand what foundation it is based on."

"It's not just Guahao.com, it's also true for other Internet companies."

"This black dot represents the number of Internet users in 1997, 630,000."

Fang Zhuo continued to click on two slightly higher black dots in sequence, pointed at them and said: "The second one is 1.17 million in 1998, and the third one is 4 million in 1999."

He ​​looked at Zhou Xin, a computer major, and asked: "Not talking about professional studies, do you think it is difficult to learn to surf the Internet?"

"It's not difficult. You have to practice typing with ten fingers, but you can click on each letter one by one. When surfing the Internet, you just enter the website address and browse the information. It is more of a habit that is easy to develop." Zhou Xin answered seriously.

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, reached out and pressed the fourth black dot with a pen, and said calmly: "I checked the data from the Internet Information Center. The number of people they announced in July this year was 16.9 million."

"It is already September. If the whole year is over, this point can be conservatively estimated to be 20 million Internet users."

Zhou Xin and Song Rong nodded in agreement. They were both computer majors and thought this number was normal.

 The other two, Su Wei and Yu Hong, were a little confused.

Fang Zhuo gently connected the four points with lines and said: "This is the growth curve of Internet users in the past four years. It is quite steep, right?"

He raised a finger: "As of now, our population is 1.295 billion and the number of Internet users is 20 million. The annual growth rate in the past four years has exceeded 100%, even 300% or 400%."

"This is the foundation of our registration network."

"Similarly, this is also the basis for other domestic Internet companies."

 "And what is conceived on such a foundation?"

Fang Zhuo's speech speed increased from slow to fast, and became more sonorous: "It has given birth to Sina, NetEase, and Sohu that can be listed in the United States, not to mention companies such as Qiaoxing and China Leasing that were listed in the United States earlier."

"Next year, next year, we will officially join the WTO, and the speed of economic development will inevitably take off. We still conservatively estimate that even if the growth rate is 100%, where will the next black spot be?"

Fang Zhuo glanced at the four people who were listening quietly, stretched out his hand to write down the fifth point, and connected it with the previous curve.

 "What about the sixth point?"

Fang Zhuo asked and answered his own questions and wrote down the sixth point.

 Then the seventh and eighth.

 Finally, he leisurely connected all these points and drew a beautiful curve.

Fang Zhuo said in a deep voice: "The basis for the existence of the registration network is not only the Internet environment of 20 million Internet users this year, but also the dynamic expectations of curved development in the next few years."

"There is a vast space and development dividends. As long as we don't make mistakes, what kind of registration network will appear in a few years? How much can we use the Internet to change the ecology of hospital pre-diagnosis?"

Fang Zhuo slowed down his speech again and added: "In fact, this will be the general basis for the development of Internet companies in the next few years. However, different channel choices face different competitions. To build a portal website, you have to compete with NetEase and Sohu." , we have to compete with Tencent in instant messaging..."

"And the registration we do is a niche field. When we have enough first-mover advantages, others will compete with us."

 "Do you understand?"

The four of them listened with bated breath, especially when they saw the curve and heard the names of listed companies, they felt that they could go straight to Nasdaq in the United States when they stood up and walked out the door.

Yu Hong recalled the static and dynamic information on the whiteboard, imagined the majestic and exciting development of the Internet, and took a deep breath.

 Then...

 "Grass, my ribs!"

Yu Hong stood up and rushed into the kitchen, getting a pot of charred braised pork ribs.

"It seems that we can only make do with what we have to eat at noon today." It was only then that Su Wei smelled the burnt smell, "I'll serve the rice and we'll chat while eating."

Fang Zhuo took a sip of water and said, "Anything is fine, everything is fine. I'll show you my skills next time."

Su Wei said in surprise: "Can you still cook?"

"I understand a little bit," Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

At this time, Song Rong, who had been silent, said: "In the future, the number of Internet users in our country will definitely not grow linearly, but will definitely grow faster."

"From a statistical and data point of view, such a high speed will not last forever." Su Wei said from a professional perspective, "As Xiao Fang just said, with 20 million, there can be so many listed companies now. High speed Once it reaches a certain level, it will be enough to support a prosperous market, and growth will inevitably fall back significantly."

Yu Hong ran out and served rice and vegetarian dishes.

She said a little depressed: "I didn't expect that our company's first all-hands party would only be able to eat vegetarian dishes... I'll take a picture of cucumber salad."

 After a while, cold cucumbers, green peppers, potatoes, boiled broccoli and five bowls of rice were placed on the table.

"Just from this dish, we know that our company's situation is not optimistic." Fang Zhuo joked.

"Hey, if you can charge for registration, I really think you can make a lot of money. You said you want to find venture capital, but I think it's still not very stable." Yu Hong was a little worried.

Fang Zhuo tilted his head and pointed: "What I said today is more hoped to give you a different perspective on the development of the enterprise."

"Just like I said just now, the impact of policies can be avoided by foreseeing it in advance, but it can also be borrowed."

"I said that registration has the attributes of a public medical infrastructure. In this case, think about it, will the government not have any positive support for this area other than not charging fees?"

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly and only had a feather fan in his hand to shake. He looked at the thoughtful expressions of the four people and asserted: "There will definitely be support. It just depends on whether the support comes sooner or later."

"If I'm right, if we don't build this registration network now, the higher-ups will want to do this five, eight, or ten years later, and it will be a top-down reform."

"But, are the problems that have existed in these five years, these eight years, and these ten years worrying us?"

"Now is the best era. As long as we expand the registration network, it will grow with the rapid development of the Internet, and it will enjoy the dividends of rapid development."

"In the future, not only will everyone be able to use it, but at least most people will be able to save time in this area."

 "This is a commentary on the impact of the Internet on the times."

Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "I believe this annotation will be favored by venture capital investors, as long as they or someone around them uses the Internet to register."

 Zhou Xin and Song Rong put down their chopsticks and finally gave them warm applause.

Yu Hong suddenly understood: "Yes, we don't want to wait for a top-down reform, we have to launch a bottom-up..."

Fang Zhuo's expression changed and he interrupted: "Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense! Let's eat!"

Su Wei couldn't help laughing and dropped her chopsticks on the ground.

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "In today's class, let me tell you, in a few years, I won't even say anything if someone offers me a million appearance fee."

 "Tch, one million, it's just worth my meal of braised pork ribs." Yu Hong admired her in her heart, but she couldn't forget her braised pork ribs.

 "I'll pay you a meal another day."

Fang Zhuo smiled and was very satisfied with the atmosphere that was completely different from before the meal.
