My Age of Investment

Zhang Yong led the team to South Korea. Before leaving, he asked Xia Jingxing a question - should Overseas Holdings engage in cloud computing?

With the protection of Fuxing Cloud, there seems to be no need for overseas holdings.

But if we don’t do cloud computing, new questions arise. Should we do tob business?

If we don't do b-side business, we can only entertain ourselves to the end and focus only on c-side personal business. The company's growth imagination will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, if Haihai Holdings wins the instant messaging war, it will start to build an ecosystem. WeChat is not just for individual users. It is a huge business connector that has to connect with countless small Internet giants and unicorns. Make friends with beast companies, that is, industrial investment + traffic empowerment. While sharing the growth dividends of China Mobile Internet, we can monetize WeChat traffic in another form and further expand the use scenarios of WeChat payment.

In addition, Hainei Holding Group has also built an open platform around the two major social platforms of Hainei.com and Weibo. Over the past few years, it has attracted a large number of developers to follow. These small companies can become the seed users of Hainei Cloud.

There is also the huge storage and computing needs of the domestic holding group itself, which can be regarded as a good experimental field for cloud computing. Let’s test it on ourselves first. After the product is polished, we can then open up cloud computing services to the outside world step by step. c The client can make cloud disks and cloud documents, and the client can provide technical support for WeChat applets, corporate WeChat, and video conferencing software.

WeChat is actually a product with a very special status. If it can reach the status of its previous life, it will be almost equivalent to reaching all netizens in the country.

With this big killer in hand, Hainei Cloud, which is from the same category, is still very attractive to b-end enterprises, g-end governments and public institutions. Perhaps these institutions are here to more easily reach users, promote and operate their own products. Choose to use Hainei Cloud.

From this point of view, Hainei Cloud has certain differentiated competitive advantages - after all, it has a good brother WeChat covering it, and all units that are greedy for WeChat user resources have a high regard for Hainei Cloud.

The advantage of Fuxing Cloud lies in hardware. The comprehensive coverage of mobile phones, computers, cars, home appliances, various wearable devices, and Internet of Things devices will also create an ecosystem that is beyond the reach of countless companies and can also attract some companies. , the government chose to use Fuxing Cloud’s services.

From this perspective, Hainei Cloud cannot be called a rival of Fuxing Cloud, but an effective complement. The two cloud computing companies, both controlled by Xia Jingxing, can be like two large open pliers, taking away most of the domestic cloud computing companies. Demands are firmly within their own sphere of influence.

Cloud computing companies such as Ali, Qianxun, and Juhua Factory are in serious trouble, because one more mouth means one less piece of food will be distributed to their bowls.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing decided to allow Domestic Holdings to enter the cloud computing market.

But before that, he needed to recruit a leading general.

…………

…………

Shangdi Science and Technology Park.

In the general manager's office of Kangsheng Chuangxiang Company, Dai Zhikang looked at the visiting Xia Jingxing with surprise and said, "You want to acquire us, are you kidding me?

Is there anything in our small company that catches your eye?

technology? Any laboratory in the Fuxing Industrial Park can beat us. "

Xia Jingxing waved his hand, "It's not Fuxing Industrial that wants to acquire you, but Overseas Holdings wants to recruit your 200 employees.

Let me tell you, what's the point of living with a broken website building software? I think you are suitable for something more challenging. "

"For example?" Dai Zhikang asked tentatively.

“Like cloud computing!”

Xia Jingxing looked at Dai Zhikang with a smile and found that just as he expected, the geek's eyes lit up when he heard about cloud computing.

In his previous life, Dai Zhikang, after selling the company to Penguin, served as the general manager of Penguin's lifestyle e-commerce division, and then pioneered the deployment of WeChat QR codes to tens of millions of offline merchants, starting the process of digital transformation of physical commerce.

This is a talent who understands both technology and business!

After working at Penguin for several years, Dai Zhikang left to join Partner Cloud, a company he invested in, and became CEO.

Partner Cloud happens to be a cloud computing company, but unlike Fuxing Cloud, it also provides IaaS infrastructure as a service. This company only provides the upper two layers of the three-layer pyramid, Paas and Saas. To put it simply, the former It provides a platform for enterprises to develop, deploy and manage applications. The latter is ready-to-use collaborative office software like DingTalk and Feishu.

Although Dai Zhikang is not as well-known as Li Xiang, He Xiaopeng and other star entrepreneurs who started their own businesses for the second time, Xia Jingxing still admires this person very much and wants to pull him into the chariot of domestic holdings and appoint him as the leader of the cloud computing development project By.

Dai Zhikang thought in his mind for a few seconds before asking: "Does Hainan Holdings want to do cloud computing?"

"Yes, we not only want to engage in cloud computing, but we also want to make it big and make it a steel knife for domestic holding companies to enter the b-end business market."

The amount of information in Xia Jing's jargon was a bit large. Dai Zhikang digested it for a long time before continuing to ask: "Haihai Holdings doesn't have the b-end gene, does it?"

"What's not genetic? That's the theory of blood. We Chinese only believe in princes, generals, and ministers. We would rather have blood!"

Dai Zhikang knew that the other party was joking with him again, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let me change the words, do you have this condition? You haven't even developed a B-end software now."

"Isn't cloud computing a good entry point? And we also have WeChat, which is not a simple instant messaging platform, but a super application. It will become a good carrier for developing b-side businesses.

By then, we will have WeChat and cloud computing, and we will be able to take a bite of the B-side business cake. "

Dai Zhikang smiled, "But I have no experience in developing cloud computing projects."

"Hi, except Wang Jian, who in China has experience in developing cloud computing projects? And Wang Jian also learned while developing. The most important thing is that he studied psychology, can't write code, and doesn't have much computer theory knowledge. He learned it from auditing and self-study in college.

When it comes to technology, he is far inferior to you.

When it comes to software development experience, he is far inferior to you.

What he can do, can't you do it? "

Faced with Xia Jingxing's provocative tactics, Dai Zhikang did not fall for it, but said in an extremely humble manner: "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to do it, but I'm mainly afraid that my talents and knowledge will be limited, which will delay your work."

"What can I delay? I can assign you China's top technical team and recruit dozens of core technical backbones from Fuxing Cloud to help you."

"Ah? The person who dug up Fuxingyun?"

Xia Jingxing smiled, "It's just a normal flow of talents between companies, how can it be called poaching?"

In fact, Xia Jingxing's poaching behavior has violated the interests of Fuxing Industry's shareholders. However, the shareholders of Fuxing Industry all hold very small shares. As long as Xia Jingxing doesn't go too far, no one will fall out over this trivial matter. of.

Dai Zhikang thought carefully about the conditions Xia Jingxing proposed, and it must be said that he was a little tempted.

Although the company Kangsheng Chuangxiang has developed well under his leadership, it has hit its growth ceiling.

It is difficult to truly become a b-end enterprise service software giant in China. There are many reasons. Companies lack payment awareness, software development technology and direction are imitating foreign countries, lack of innovation, lack of their own technical standards, etc., to name a few.

Dai Zhikang developed the Internet community forum software discuz! when he was in college at the age of 20. It was circulated on the Internet with a "personal free + corporate fee" model. Later, all software was converted to a free model. This strategy also influenced Kangsheng Chuangxiang Angel investor Zhou Hongyi laid the foundation for the subsequent launch of free anti-virus software.

At its peak, there were 300,000 community forums across the country using discuz! community software, which accounted for more than half of the total number of domestic community forums at that time.

However, compared with the turbulent wave of Internet entrepreneurship in the first decade of the 21st century, this achievement is somewhat unsatisfactory. On the one hand, the market for software services is too small and the difficulty of innovation is too high. On the other hand, with the With the continuous development of the Internet industry, the popular community forums are gradually coming to an end. There are no gold diggers, and community forum software can no longer sell shovels.

Seeing Dai Zhikang's silence, Xia Jingxing continued to persuade: "You should also be aware that the community forum is no longer popular. What about Tianya and Maopu? Who of the young people still play! Don't you feel comfortable playing online with others on Weibo?

If Kangsheng Chuangxiang wants to get a ticket to the next decade of the Internet, it must make changes, and cloud computing happens to be a good development direction.

I plan to use cloud computing as the technical base to build an enterprise service business group with domestic holdings and reshape China's enterprise service industry pattern.

Kingdee and UF are just scum. They were crushed or included in them in minutes. "

Dai Zhikang was amused by Xia Jingxing's words. It sounded like the other party was bragging, but if he thought about it carefully, Mr. Xia, as the richest man in Asia, definitely had the strength to achieve his goals.

"Don't believe me. Is Oracle enough? Larry Ellison always acts like I am first and God is second!"

But what now? Workday and Salesforce, which I invested in, have lost their armor in the international market. In the Chinese market, they are also facing a wave of de-ioe caused by Fuxing Cloud. The database orders in their hands are constantly shrinking.

The technological explosion of cloud computing has given Chinese software manufacturers an opportunity to catch up with leading international companies. "

Xia Jingxing looked into Dai Zhikang's eyes and said in a slower tone: "Your future should not be tied to a small software. There is a bigger and broader stage waiting for you ahead.

Okay, I won’t persuade you any more. In short, just one sentence: If you are a brother, join us and join us to kill the international software giant! "

Thanks to Xichen Book Friends for the 10,000-coin reward. Recent updates have been weak, and this reward is indeed well-deserved! Also a little embarrassed!

The weather in Sichuan has been really hot recently. I have never experienced such extreme temperatures since I was born. I feel dizzy every day. I will resume my second update when the weather cools down a bit.

In addition, I would like to thank the people across the country for their power support for the people of Sichuan. Today, our community has also received several power generation vehicles. Thank you so much!
