Chapter 248 Sitong Lifang
Xu Wangshan was amused when he heard Yi Ruoshui's words. He had already discovered that the Internet era is completely different from the PC era. Even if it is not used to calculate time with days, it is still used to calculate time with months. It is completely fine to delay competitive products in the PC era for a year and a half before going online. However, the Internet era must race against time. Three or four months ago, Chabyte was the most powerful commercial website in China, but now the Jiangdong Information Port under Xingzhou Telecom has surpassed Chabyte.
Xingzhou Telecom's 188 email was launched on July 13, 1997. There are more than a dozen free emails that have been launched in China and are about to be launched. Xintianheng's free emails are actually delayed until after the Spring Festival. It is simply slower than a turtle. At that time, it will be difficult to break through the siege. Therefore, Xu Wangshan was suddenly happy, "Why is it so slow? Hasn't the pig farm's system been debugged internally many times?"
Yi Ruoshui replied, "In fact, it's not slow either. The main reason is that Xintianheng's price pressure is too harsh and he wants to advance the construction of the pig farm, so the pig farm is not very enthusiastic. And now they are talking to us about the issue of the general agent in South China, so they are a little distracted!"
Xu Wangshan knew that the funds on Xintianheng were very tight during this period. He immediately asked, "Xintianheng is a little tight now. Do we want us to help him get more fire!"
Xintianheng and Wangshan Computer are old rivals. After Xintianheng is preparing to invest in the construction of an annual production base of 200,000 computers in Jinjiang, the relationship between the two parties is to the point of death. There can only be one survivor on both sides, so Xu Wangshan feels that he doesn't have to be polite to Xintianheng, and he will kill Xintianheng directly while he is sick.
But Yi Ruoshui is not as optimistic as Xu Wangshan. "Now, he can't kill Xintianheng. Xintianheng has been operating for so many years. Millions can only make them uncomfortable but he can't kill them. Don't worry about this. Take your time. If we don't take action, we must kill Xintianheng!"
Xu Wangshan felt that Yi Ruoshui's statement made sense. Although Xintianheng suffered a complete defeat in the Jiangdong market this year, the lean camel is larger than a horse. Xintianheng has accumulated a lot of capital in the past years. Moreover, if Xintianheng really wants to force Xintianheng to death, he cannot kill Xintianheng with one stick. At that time, Xintianheng will definitely drag Wangshan computer to death.
But how can Wangshan computer development situation be so good? How can he die with Xintianheng? After thinking about this, Xu Wangshan immediately said, "Just follow Manager Xiaoyi's plan. You must be fatal and don't give Xintianheng any chance!"
Since talking about Xintianheng, the old rival, Yi Ruoshui also said frankly, "We don't think there will be any scenes in Xintianheng's free email. This is our absolute advantage at home. You can do whatever you want. What I really worry about now is Sitong Lifang. Uncle Shan, you must help me pay attention to the trends of Sitong. That is our real opponent of Starry Sky Internet!"
For Xu Wangshan, the name of Sitonglifang is very familiar. After all, behind Sitonglifang is Sitong Group. Sitong Group's Sitong typewriters have dominated the market for a long time. It was not until Shi Yuzhu created the popularization of Chinese cards and the popularization of Chinese-DOS systems that the sales of Sitong typewriters were cut off. However, Sitong Group is still the true "slim camel and llust bigger than horses" and is still the top domestic enterprise.
The growth rate of the Sitonglifang website under their name is even more amazing. The traffic has increased dozens of times in more than a month. Although this is the traffic attracted by the article "Dalian Jinzhou Don't Believe", they had only one Sitonglifang forum before, but now they have transformed into a real portal website and are striving to catch up with the two little brothers connected to the starry sky, Jiangdong Information Port and Jiangdong Information Supermarket.
But Xu Wangshan didn't expect that Yi Ruoshui had such a high evaluation of Sitonglifang. He always felt that Sitonglifang was at most an opponent of Jiangdong Information Port and was not in the same realm as Starry Internet. "Manager Yi, there is no need to regard Sitonglifang as such. At most, they are small chabytes. It will take several months to catch up with Jiang Yuerong and Shen Jianye, let alone your Starry Internet!"
But Yi Ruoshui knew very well that Sitonglifang Forum would be renamed Sina.com in not long, and Sina.com is the strongest one in the three major portals in China. "Don't forget that it only took us three months to surpass Chabyte. They surpassed Jiang Yuerong and Shen Jianye in these two or three months. Uncle Shan, you probably don't know yet. Their free email is about to be opened!"
Xu Wangshan knew that this was the case, and Sitong Lifang used the Starry Sky Internet super mailbox solution and Wangshan computer's email server. "Since that's the case, why not drag them and drag their free mailbox for a few months or two! With this or two months, Starry Sky Internet's chances of winning will be even greater!"
Xu Wangshan felt that this matter was completely under Yi Ruoshui's authority, but Yi Ruoshui shook his head and said, "Things are not that simple. Sitonglifang clearly regards Starry Sky Internet as the biggest enemy, but still asks us to order a super mailbox system. That means how determined they have made. If they really want to force them to engage in spontaneous research and development, they may be forced out the Sitong Group behind them!"
Now the battle with Starry Sky Internet is just the original Sitonglifang forum. Although it has been upgraded to Sitonglifang website, it is only a small department of Sitonglifang under Sitong Group. The real Sitong Group is an absolute giant monster.
The current valuation of Star Internet has reached 20 million US dollars and has accepted 4 million US dollars of venture capital from SSA. It is the number one commercial website in China. However, these achievements are not worth mentioning in front of Sitong Group. As early as 1986, Sitong Group's annual sales revenue exceeded 100 million yuan, and directly exceeded 1 billion yuan in 1988. Although the development speed has been slowing down since the 1990s, Sitong Group's annual sales revenue this year is more than 6 billion yuan and its net assets exceed 1.8 billion yuan.
If you really want to start a Internet battle with Sitong Group, let alone a Starry Sky Internet, even a few Starry Sky Internet is not a match. Even Yi Ruoshui brought out Roger Wei and SSA as a rescuer. Sitong Group is now such a giant. Fortunately, Sitong Group is now suffering from a typical big enterprise disease and is slow to do anything.
As for why Sitong Group has been slow to do everything over the years, it is naturally because the management of Sitong Group is busy with the secondary stock reform. Although Sitong has been listed in Hong Kong, it has further stimulated the enthusiasm of employees. Sitong Group's management has put all its energy into the secondary stock reform and put all its thoughts into it.
So in a few months, the stock reform consulting group sent by the superiors will suddenly find that bo (management acquisition) is the most perfect stock reform plan for Sitong Group. Sitong management claims that all this is the meaning of the stock reform consulting group and has nothing to do with them. However, in order to establish a modern enterprise system, they have to turn public to private, and according to the plan of the stock reform consulting group, they will turn Sitong, a giant, into their own private property.
Anyway, Sitong Group is now a sleeping giant. The management is busy turning public into private and has not discovered the amazing potential of the Internet. The only one who fights with Star Internet is only a small department under a small software company.
In order not to wake up the sleeping giant, Sitonglifang came to order the super mailbox system Starry Internet not only needed to serve and provide the best service, but also specially provided Sitonglifang with unprecedented special discounts and free of charge for three email servers. It even allowed Sitonglifang to jump into the queue to install it in advance. Anyway, Sitonglifang could not force Sitonglifang to get out of the Sitong Group behind it.
Xu Wangshan also knew what kind of giant Sitong Group was. "I understand. I will help you watch Sitong. If Sitong Duan really wants to end, we Wangshan computers can't sit still and wait for death!"
Yi Ruoshui is in a good mood recently and nodded and said, "Uncle Shan, don't worry, just give me a few more months. As long as Sitongli Party put all its energy into free email and sports news during this period, I will not be afraid that Sitong Group will end in person!"
Although Starry Internet has accepted investment from SSA, it is still a "small company", but the situation will be different after a few months.
At this time, Sitonglifang Company was also holding a special meeting specifically for Starry Internet. Although Sitong Group, a giant, looked down on the Internet business, Sitonglifang had already devoted a considerable amount of energy to the Internet, and the cause of all this was just a long online article "Dalian Jinzhou does not believe in tears".
Strictly speaking, Sitong Group is not looking down on the Internet business, but they seem to be able to make a lot of money. Moreover, with the strength of Sitong Group, there is no access problem for any industry they want to invest in. They are even planning to form an independent mobile network with the military, so the priority of Internet business is relatively behind within Sitong Group.
But for Sitonglifang, the Internet business is their only hope. Their original main business was Chinese Star and rich plug-in Chinese platforms on English Windows. However, Microsoft has now launched the Chinese versions of 95 and 97, and will also launch the Chinese version of 98 next year.
Although the Ministry of Information Industry feels that Microsoft is not authentic and hopes that Microsoft will give this market to third-party Chinese platforms like Dos, the localization of the operating system has no way to stop the trend, which is a great news for users. However, on the other hand, it is sentenced to the death of Sitonglifang's Chinese platform in a sense. With the official Chinese version, who still uses the third-party plug-in Chinese version, so this business is still growing and profitable, which is considered the only example of successful transformation of many third-party platforms in the Dos era, but Sitonglifang knows that this business will definitely not last.
