Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 40

Xiong Ge introduced Qu Li to many elites in the IT industry, and also introduced him to Baidu Li Yanhong. This was really a big surprise, but she was an IT elite and did not discuss the possibility of cloud computing with him.

"What do you think of Li Yanhong?" Leaving Baidu Xiong Ge asked him

"Baidu is an excellent company." Qu Li said cautiously

"Really, isn't Google great?"

"I think ID cards are very important. Search engines are the entrance to Internet traffic, the first platform for content distribution, and the main channel for Internet users to understand the world. In other words, search engines can exclude content they don't want you to know. Vice versa, this is Google's original sin." Qu Liduo said a few words

"You haven't said anything about Li Yanhong yet."

"Of course he is a technical elite, but I'm afraid he doesn't understand management, and he has an elite style at heart. He is not the same person as me at the grassroots level."

Baidu may be the most regrettable Internet technology company in China, with a strong R&D atmosphere and strength.

Judging from the results, Li Yanhong is excellent as the founder of Baidu, but he is not a qualified entrepreneur. He obviously had a cash flow second only to Penguin for a long time and a strong team of engineers. In the end, he almost disappeared in Mobile Internet era.

Xiong Ge was noncommittal about Qu Li's judgment. Li Yanhong was a little proud, otherwise he wouldn't have said publicly that there were only three people in the country qualified to be Baidu's CTO.As for whether browsers, cloud computing, and smartphones are the future development direction, he really doesn't know. Logically speaking, what elites like Li Yanhong say is more credible, but the logic deduced by Qu Li's keen business sense makes it easier for him to understand.

No, Wang Jian from Microsoft Research Asia actually came to talk to him. When Qu Li saw him, he knew that he was the father of Ali Cloud. With its own independent architecture of cloud computing and database, Ali’s contribution to domestic technology has exceeded The vast majority of domestic Internet technology companies.

"I started with the derivation based on the actual needs of enterprises, such as cloud computing. There are huge differences in the number of visits from consumers in different time periods on large e-commerce platforms. However, in order to meet peak demand, enterprises have to over-provision the hardware base, which results in This will lead to huge waste. If there is cloud computing, computing resources will be opened to third parties through virtual technology..."

"What you said is theoretically feasible. I also think it is necessary to develop cloud computing. This may be the future Internet infrastructure." Wang Jian

"Aren't you afraid of being scolded for saying that?"

"What can I be afraid of?"

"I'm not a professional. When I talk about cloud computing, it's just a joke to others, but you are the executive vice president of Microsoft Research Asia..."

"Just because I am, I am not afraid." Wang Jian said firmly. He has transformed from a psychology expert into an IT elite, and his psychological quality is much better than Qu Li's.

“Do you want to do cloud computing?”

"I don't think so!" Qu Li affirmed at first, and then shook his head in denial. He had no money. Even if he took out all the money from the bank and securities company, it wouldn't be enough for him to develop cloud computing.

"The most powerful companies in China to develop cloud computing are Baidu, Penguin, and then Ali. If you don't have huge cash flow, you can only rely on venture capital to do this. But venture capital cannot see this trend and will not invest heavily. .”

Many people say that China has risen, but competition between countries includes not only wars but also entrepreneurs. Of course, the richest among the three BAT companies is Xiaoma Ge, followed by Hongyan Huoshui. The former is a standard businessman, while the latter lacks Necessary leadership skills, lack of courage at critical moments.Later, he chose the unmanned driving track, which gave people hope of success, but this was a big gamble after countless trials and errors.

If you have money and technology, you will be willful. You can try and make dozens of mistakes without going bankrupt. As long as you succeed once, you can get a ticket to the next decade.It can be said that Baidu and Penguin are the two most terrifying opponents on the domestic Internet at this stage.

Wang Jian had obviously thought of this as well. He was just curious about Qu Li and had no idea of ​​starting a business with Qu Li.

"You are short of people now. What do you want to do to find excellent IT programmers?"

"I don't know very well myself. Maybe it's about building a big framework. I want to be a clothing brand and sell mainly through e-commerce. Well, that's not the point.

In the future, I will hire a team of designers with more than 1000 people. The works they submit (including design requirements, fabrics, processes, etc.) need to go through the data center I envision, in the form of a website that meets our requirements (such as geographical location, production, etc.) capabilities, business reputation, etc.) can grab orders here or accept orders from the company.Not only OEMs, but also raw material suppliers, similar to Toray.

I want to incorporate thousands of garment and textile companies across the country into our system and help them with IT transformation if necessary.We may need to build our own database and ERP, CRM software, or use open source software...

If possible I would like to form a team working on mobile operating systems. "

Qu Li's vague description still made Wang Jian feel a majestic atmosphere. Is it true that a person's pattern is innate? Why is Qu Li so majestic at such a young age?

After the exchange between the two, Shen Nanpeng took him to meet with the former CEO of Yahoo, Zhou Hongyi, the cannon in red. Qihoo company was established, but there was no clear direction at the moment. Zhou Hongyi seemed to want to do community search and invest in it. An open source community forum software called Discuz!

"Now the whiteness of the search engine market tops the list, followed by Google, and Yahoo Search may disappear..."

"Community search is too niche. You can't make money or traffic. It's better to focus and choose between traffic and money."

Qu Li really didn't want Zhou Hongyi to give up the path of his previous life. The reason was simple. A safe Internet environment would be of great benefit to e-commerce payments.At this time, many people are afraid to pay online, fearing that their computers will be hacked or poisoned, and they will lose their lives and money.

The emergence of 360 Security Guards contributed to the rapid development of the domestic Internet. Later, it was spurned by many netizens. Perhaps it was not because of too many advertisements. The big reason may be that this security company has undertaken huge national defense tasks and has been criticized by others. Jealousy.

"Then what do you think I should choose?"

“Is this a critical moment that entrepreneurs should make decisions about, whether it’s traffic or money?”

"If you have traffic, you will have money!" Hongyi looked determined.
