Rebirth of God Against God

Take the essence, discard the dross, and make up for some of your own shortcomings and deficiencies by absorbing the strengths of others!

The Internet is an industry that is changing every day. There are many people who are ahead of the trend, but more often than not, it does not mean that they will have the last laugh.

If you can't accurately grasp the real core and essence of the selling point, you can't grasp the real needs of customers and the market, even if the concept is relatively new, it will be quickly eliminated by the market to the back row.

To give the most obvious example, the QQ chat software created by Ma Huateng Qijia was actually called OICQ at the earliest time, and it was also an instant chat software called ICQ developed by imitating foreigners.

As early as 1996, people of that era communicated on the Internet, relying on the cumbersome, one-to-one communication method of sending emails, which was very inconvenient.

So at that time, three Israeli software engineers got together and developed a software that allows users to communicate quickly and directly on the Internet, which is the so-called instant chat software.

The three engineers named the new software ICQ at that time, and it means "ISEEKYOU (I'm looking for you)" if the speech speed is a little faster, including some interesting homophonic meanings.

This ICQ software supports functions such as instant chatting on the Internet, and even many people can enter the same chatting room to chat together!

These functions were regarded as epoch-making creative designs at the time.

So soon, only six months after the software was launched, ICQ announced that it had become the instant messaging software with the largest number of users in the world at that time!

Then in 1998, ICQ was acquired by MOL at a sky-high price of 4.07 million US dollars!

The 90 million US dollars in the 40s of the last century is almost equivalent to the value of [-] billion US dollars today!

Even Mahuateng of Dahuaguo imitated and borrowed from this ICQ company's research and development ideas in the initial stage of research and development of Koukou in 1998, and then imitated the gourd and came up with an instant chat software called OICQ...

Then in 2000, ICQ company sent a lawyer's letter to Ma Huateng's OICQ company, suing it for name theft, causing a huge infringement storm.

As a result of this turmoil, the other party forced Ma Huateng to change the company's name, and it became the familiar QQ now.

From this result, everyone can know how awesome that foreign ICQ software was at that time. It was simply a star company in the Internet industry back then!

But who would have thought that due to poor internal management, coupled with complacency, lack of progress and many other reasons, after the market share of ICQ software reached a certain amount, the usage rate would never rise again.

On the contrary, Mahuateng, who was forced to change his name, worked hard to develop various new functions, such as storing QQ user data in the cloud server, allowing users to log in to chat on any terminal; Login functionality and more...

This is a function that ICQ did not realize at that time, and soon QQ seized almost all the user markets in China!

All the way to 2018, the total market value of Teng Xun, a subsidiary of Mahua Teng, reached 3.51 trillion Hong Kong dollars!

The 2018 financial report shows that the total revenue of Fuji Xun Company for the whole year was 3127 billion yuan!

3127 billion yuan!

What a terrifying number!

On the other hand, the ICQ company that forced Ma Huateng to change its name and pay compensation back then has already declined and eliminated, and even the entire company has been acquired by other large companies, and has transformed into other businesses as a subsidiary!

Coincidentally, when Ma Yun founded Ali Baba, she also encountered almost exactly the same thing.

As early as 2003, the leader of the e-commerce industry at that time was not Ali Baba at all, but a platform called EachNet.

eBay was in full swing at the time, once occupying almost 80% of the domestic C2C market share!

But later, Ari Baba was born, like an ant swallowing an elephant, and gradually trampled eBay under his feet.

Even at that time, there was an e-commerce platform known as "South Ali, North Huicong"—the Huicong Platform, and it was almost the same experience.

The name of the boss of Huicong.com is Guo Fansheng (homophonic). This name may seem strange to many young people nowadays, but he was once a legendary figure in the Chinese business circle!

Because as early as when Guo Fansheng started his business, Ma Yun was still buying goods in the small commodity market in Yiwu, struggling to maintain the operation of his translation agency.

At the same time, Ma Huateng was still studying at Shengzhen University, and Milk Tea Dong had just graduated from high school at that time!

As early as December 2003, Huicong.com was listed in Hong Kong and Hong Kong. It not only became the earliest B12B e-commerce listed company in Dahua, but also created 2 millionaires overnight. The company’s market value exceeded 126 billion Hong Kong dollars. !

At that time, Guo Fansheng could be said to be in the limelight and was known as the most successful entrepreneur among entrepreneurs!

And what about Ma Yun?At that time, everyone regarded him as a "lunatic"!

A "lunatic" whose thinking is so advanced that it is beyond comprehension!

Chapter 841 Going to buy a car!

Just imagine, in 2003, the company was launched on the Hong Kong stock market, and within a short period of time after the successful listing, 126 millionaires appeared in the company!

The chief chairman of such a company is really a successful person in everyone's eyes!

So at that time there was an entrepreneurial program called "Win in the Great China", and Guo Fansheng, a successful person, was specially invited to the program as an important guest, and asked him to comment on the entrepreneurs seeking investment in the program.

At that time, the program happened to discuss the topic of who is superior between Guo Fansheng's Huicong.com and Ma Yun's Ari Baba. There was a young and energetic poor guy who bravely stood up and predicted the future.

At that time, the poor boy talked about his views on the two e-commerce platforms Ali Baba and Huicong.com in front of dozens of hundreds of viewers in the talk show.

The poor boy said that although he often uses HC.com, he is not optimistic about the future of HC.com. He believes that in the future in the e-commerce industry, only Ali Baba can do the best.

Even this poor boy made an accurate prediction. He deduced that as soon as Ma Yun solved the pressure from Yahoo, he would be free to deal with Guo Fansheng!

Who would have thought that no one in the audience believed the poor boy's words, and even everyone burst into laughter, with contemptuous smiles on everyone's faces!

Because at that time, Huicong.com was almost equivalent to the current Ali Baba. It was the time when the momentum was strong and powerful, so Guo Fansheng didn't pay attention to Ma Yun at all.

So Guo Fansheng laughed very loudly on the show at that time, and even directly mocked the young man and said:

"I'm already so successful, but you don't even believe me, but instead trust someone who is not as successful as me (referring to Ma Yun), then why do you make other people believe you?"

"If you can make other people believe in you with just a few business predictions, then you should be rich early."

Even at the end, Guo Fansheng mercilessly mocked the poor boy in every possible way:

"If you want to say that you failed to start a business because of lack of money, then I can tell you that a good start-up does not lack funds at all. What you lack is not money, but the trust of rich people in you!"

The implication is that this poor boy was sentenced to "death penalty" in front of other business tycoons present!

At that time, this poor boy was just an ordinary person in front of Guo Fansheng, and he couldn't make any great achievements at all, and the two of them couldn't be compared at all.

So, being ridiculed by Guo Fansheng in front of so many people, the poor boy was immediately embarrassed, and his ears were red.

And when everyone in the audience laughed loudly and mocked the poor boy, Guo Fansheng's face was full of disdain and contempt!

Who would have thought that time has passed, and after just ten years, the market value of Huicong.com is still only 61 billion, while the market value of Ma Yun's Ari Baba has reached 3864.06 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 2 trillion yuan. Chinese coins!

In the past ten years, HC.com has not only made no progress, but also regressed too much.

His company's market value is not to mention compared with giants like Fuji Xun Ali, even compared with Milk Tea East, it is only 82/[-] of the market value of Milk Tea East!

And later this poor boy founded Wanwang, which was acquired by Ali Baba with a lot of money!

Later, he directly used his power and forcibly blocked the domain name of Huicong.com for 4 hours!
