Chapter 1997 Where is the profit point?
First of all, I want to tell you the concept of a foreigner.
To be precise, it is the concept of developed Western countries.
They never recommend that others donate or help others free of charge. They advocate that those who help others can get enough rewards.
This reward includes both spiritual and material.
A very simple example.
In China, if you pick up a wallet or mobile phone, can someone say thank you to you? You are very happy and relieved?
If others bring out something to repay, most of the time, we simple Chinese people will not want it, right?
If the thing you picked up is of great value, then you hope others can express it appropriately, and you will usually be scolded as "going into the money", right?
But it is different in Europe and the United States.
For example, the United States, their clear regulations.
If someone else picks up other people's items, including wallets and other items, the owner should give rewards and rewards according to the value of about 10 of the items he was picked up.
If not given, then others have the right to sue the owner and ask for more compensation.
The person who lost the lawsuit in the end must be the owner. Not only will he give it more, but he will also be ridiculed by people who are familiar with it.
Yin Jun thinks this regulation is very good and should be implemented in China.
Because it is the same as Confucius said that his apprentice, if you do good deeds alone without asking for reward, then you will invisibly kidnap others, causing the social moral cost of others to do good deeds. Then, in order not to damage their reputation, they will be unwilling to do good deeds directly.
The owner had lost the thing but lost it 100 yuan. If someone picked it up for you, you would have received such a valuable thing. Shouldn’t you give others some reward?
It's very much!
If the owner complains, or simply says viciously, "Give it back to me quickly, otherwise I will do whatever I want", the person who picks up the thing will definitely be full of anger.
If you have a bad temper, you can just give it to you to endure the things in the gutter or grass. For example, if you pick up a mobile phone, you will fall to the ground and break it, regardless of who you are.
Look, it was originally a matter of happiness for everyone, but in the end it made both of them unhappy and both suffered losses. Why bother?
Let’s not talk about this little topic.
At this moment, European and American people are having great doubts about Guge.com.
They never believe in free lunches, especially when starting a company.
If you say that you set up a charity, you may be doing charity and not making money.
But if you open a company or an online company, you just make a search link for free, so that people can get what they want through your search network and don’t make any money. This is a bit incredible, right?
It's okay for a day or two. If you don't make money for a long time, wouldn't Guge.com be in danger of going bankrupt?
If Guge.com goes bankrupt, how can we find such a good free search website?
Do you think there are other companies that continue to do it?
What a joke!
The richest man in the world can't hold on anymore. Is it necessary to have more money and more people who have nothing to do to build this search website?
We must find a way to make money, so that this search website can continue to develop and we can use it better.
So, many people started writing letters and calling Qilin Group to ask what the Guge.com will be like and what future development plans will be.
Most people have the same meaning, "Brother, you must stay calm. We all rely on you. How do you want to make money? Tell us in advance so that we can feel at ease."
Regardless of whether these companies are related to Guge.com, as long as it is Yin Jun's company, they will write letters and make phone calls, which makes these people in the mailrooms of each company laugh and cry.
Yin Jun was filming at this time, so of course he would not pay attention to these things.
Ye Linqinwa, who received the news, felt that this matter was not very important, so she naturally pressed it down and waited until Yin Jun finished filming the scene.
She knew that once Yin Jun started filming, he would almost ignore anything and devote himself to filming the movie.
But Ye Linqinwa also started to think about it in her spare time.
Ye Linqinwa does not have very high business talent. This is determined by her vision, knowledge and the surrounding atmosphere, and has nothing to do with her personal talent.
If Bill Gates hadn't had his mother been an executive in the banking industry and his father was a lawyer, he wouldn't have learned electronic programming, something that seemed to have no future at the time.
If Buffett's father and grandparents were not bigwigs in the financial industry, he would not have been tempted since childhood, and he would have been engaged in this stock trading house in the end.
Ye Linqinwa was born in a country with extremely poor modern technology like Czechoslovakia. She has been farmers for three generations in her family and grew up in the suburbs of the city since she was a child. How much knowledge do you want someone like her to have?
Surely not!
Even after she arrived in college, she continued to study and contact foreign cultures, which was a very basic contact. It was impossible for her to suddenly jump to the point of contact with giants such as Goldman Sachs Merrill Lynch, Intel, and Motorola.
Even if she followed Yin Jun, she had been working hard to supplement her various knowledge and desperately accepting all kinds of new things for so many years, and she would not have grown up suddenly.
This time the same is true for Guge.com.
Ye Linqinwa knew that Yin Jun had such a company, and had long seen its test, internal test, public test and other steps, and also went to read and understand the development model of Guge.com.
But she didn't expect that after just one month of launching, Guge.com became a popular internet company and became the most popular online company. Compared with Microsoft, it is more popular and more controversial.
Free is always the most powerful marketing method.
Just like Yin Jun's "Qilin Daily", it has created a vast country from such a small place in Xiangjiang and so fierce newspaper competition. Isn't it just that it's free trick?
If it weren't for the free "Qilin Daily" and the more than 100 newspapers in Xiangjiang, some of them would have made the Kirin Culture, which was still weak at that time, feel embarrassed and could not start the situation for several years, and might even be squeezed out directly.
But once the killer of free came out, all the newspapers in Xiangjiang were frightened and surrendered in just a few months, watching the Qilin Daily ascend to the throne of the No. 1 newspaper in Xiangjiang.
If you are a Guge.com, you still use this trick.
In addition to the Internet fee and electricity fee, people can find what they want on Guge.com without spending any money.
Or if you are bored, you can find some new and interesting news, short stories, celebrity anecdotes, etc., which are also quite interesting.
The greatest function of the online world is to connect the entire world.
This world is not just the reality of the present we live in. It can connect thousands of years before, narrowing the distance between time and space to the extreme.
This makes it much more interesting immediately.
Just like in the future, you will watch news on Weibo and videos on Douyin. One interesting and fun news will appear in front of you, one link after another, making you reluctant to close the web page.
Even if the web pages are open very slowly now, they can make people wait and look forward to it actively and enthusiastically.
Such a thing will happen again to Chinese netizens 10 years later.
At that time, no one felt that it was wasting time. They just thought that waiting was interesting. They stayed up all night to read these web contents and felt relish.
When Ye Linqinwa is resting on weekdays, she uses the computer provided by the hotel to search for various things on the Guge Network.
Although many materials involving knowledge copyright have not been presented, many web page contents can be found.
For example, Ye Linqinwa checked the history of Czechoslovakia, and searched for the origin of the Slavic people through the web pages, and then checked the migration of medieval people... Unconsciously, she could understand the knowledge she taught by teachers in four years in college and just read it online.
Think about it, if the channel to obtain knowledge is so simple, then how big should the Internet play a role?
As a result, Ye Linqinwa has increasingly confirmed the greatness of the Internet and the importance of a website like Guge.com that accurately locates searches.
But that's still the problem.
With its high popularity alone, there is no way to promote Guge.com to continue to grow and grow.
The maintenance of the website, the technical updates of various engineers, and other server purchase costs, manual rental and other operating costs are not a small amount.
As Guge.com becomes more and more precise and professional, the money will be an astronomical figure every year.
But what if it is announced that it is not free?
Announce how much you have to pay for each page you browse, or the more professional the content you have on the website, the higher the fee?
Then Guge.com is not that powerful. In other words, almost all websites can be the same as Guge.com, and will no longer be unique or so irreplaceable.
This is a dilemma.
Collecting money will destroy the current good situation. If you don’t collect money, you will only lose money.
In the long run, it is absolutely unbearable for a businessman to lose money for the sake of fame.
Even if Yin Jun has enough money to survive for decades or even hundreds of years of losses, what's the need?
Ye Linqinwa thought about it but didn't even think about how Yin Jun should solve this problem.
But after she thought too much, she would laugh secretly.
If you can think of these things, you can compare with Jun Shao, so how is that possible?
But Ye Linqinwa also firmly believed that Yin Jun must have thought about how to make Guge.com profitable, otherwise he would not have let the website go online at all.
