Chapter 359 Vertical Search

Chen Hua and Wu Shichun obviously listened to it and agreed with Chen Qiaoshan's point of view, with a little disappointment on their faces.

Chen Qiaoshan glanced at the two of them and said nothing. Since it was an investment, he could not throw money into the water.

Compared with other entrepreneurs or investors, Chen Qiaoshan's ability to discover traps and risks early is also his advantage. Of course, he is not omnipotent. For the same product, different teams can achieve different results, and he is not sure that he will succeed.

Chen Hua was the first to recover. He invited the person. No matter whether he could get investment or not, it would not affect his friendship. Moreover, he did not hide it and pointed out the problems inside directly. He had to accept a favor. After thinking about it, Chen Hua could only smile bitterly and said, "Dashan, I really have to thank you this time. If you didn't tell me, Lao Wu and I would definitely fall apart."

Wu Shichun was also worried. After staying at Baidu for more than a year, he believed that he was familiar with the search business and had some savings in his hands. Then he hit it off with Chen Hua. Who knew that before the project started, he was poured into cold water into his heart.

When he heard Chen Hua talk about Kang Sheng's incident, Wu Shichun was a little dissatisfied. Chen Qiaoshan didn't even understand the code and dared to run into a software company. It was definitely an accident that he could get huge financing. Now he realized that entrepreneurship is not that simple, technology is just the foundation, and the market is the key.

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Huazi, you are not an outsider, don't be polite to me." After a pause, he asked again, "What are your plans next?"

Chen Hua and Wu Shichun looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. The work had already quit and the project could not continue. There was nothing worse than this.

Wu Shichun felt aroused. He still had a project in his hand, and maybe he still had a chance. He asked: "I have an idea to make a web version of instant messaging software. What do you think?"

Chen Qiaoshan was completely convinced. The two people on the other side were really together. No wonder they could get together. One wanted to be a search engine and the other wanted to do instant messaging. These two industries are now popular. No matter how much money you spend in, you may not hear a sound.

People asked, but Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to veto it, "Tell me, what is your market position?"

Wu Shichun looked at Chen Qiaoshan and was also a little excited. Today, he might not be able to do something about Dongfang Buliang and Xifang Liang. He thought for a while before saying: "I understand the current situation of the instant messaging market. Major Internet companies are doing it. I want to make enterprise version of the communication tool, mainly for office users, integrating the internal email system and multiple online meetings. I think there should be a market for this..."

After listening to Wu Shichun's story, Chen Qiaoshan's face was very strange. When Chen Hua saw it, he hurriedly asked, "Dashan, if you have any opinions, you can just say it. Old Wu is also a cheerful person. He is all friends, and there is nothing that cannot be said."

Only then did Wu Shichun feel that the situation was a little abnormal. He was very nervous. He would never be so unlucky. He had problems with two consecutive projects.

Chen Qiaoshan asked, "You have never done market research, have you?"

"I asked people in the circle and haven't heard of similar products yet." Wu Shichun reacted quickly. Baidu has cooperated with many Internet companies, including several major portals. It is very convenient to understand some industry trends. Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.

"Don't you usually read the news?" Chen Qiaoshan asked a question. The two of them were a little confused and didn't understand what he meant. Chen Hua asked, "Dashan, what's going on?"

Chen Qiaoshan glanced at the two of them and asked, "You should know about clicking on technology financing in April?"

Wu Shichun nodded, "I know, the software industry has the largest financing."

Chen Qiaoshan asked again: "Then do you know what they are doing for financing?"

Both of them were stunned. Clicking on technology financing is a hot topic recently, so everyone is just watching the excitement. Who cares about how others spend money? Chen Hua said: "They are working on collaborative software, and they also work on internal corporate emails. This is not a big conflict with Lao Wu's project, right?"

Chen Qiaoshan shook his head, "Click Technology is undergoing transformation. They want to be an instant messaging platform provider. The software has been developed and its functions are more complete than Lao Wu's idea. When you go back, you can find the Science and Technology Daily at the end of April, which contains an exclusive interview with Wang Zhidong, and there is a detailed introduction."

Wu Shichun looked confused. Who is still reading newspapers in IT these days? Chen Hua is not surprised. "Dashan, what do you mean is that this project can't be done?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "You have not started research and development yet, and their products have taken shape and their functions are more complete. They are still holding 100 million yuan in their hands to build the market. Even if you are interested in competition, you still need a large amount of promotion funds in the early stage. There is nothing short of other products, funds, and channels. How much chance do you think you have to win?"

Both of them didn't say anything. They thought they had found a girl and said that they had already been occupied by the big and round landlords, and how could they be willing to do so?

Both of them were in a low mood. Chen Qiaoshan felt that it was almost done, so he took the initiative to speak, "I have an idea, I wonder if you are interested?"

Chen Hua hurriedly said, "What's your thought?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "I remember you said that you want to do news search, and news is divided into social news and life news. NetEase has done it. They are trying to divert traffic to the portal, while no one has done it yet."

Chen Hua was a little surprised, "What is life news?"

Chen Qiaoshan explained: "For example, the second-hand train ticket information during the Spring Festival travel rush is also a market with demand."

Wu Shichun felt a little dissatisfied. This guy was so inauthentic. He just rejected this project, and now he is talking about it. Isn’t this a joke? “Didn’t you say this is not a real need?”

"Yes, this kind of demand is temporary." Chen Qiaoshan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and continued: "But there are many such demands in life. If you put them together, it is a complete market. For example, tourism is also seasonal, and recruitment information. It fluctuates with the graduation season every year. For example, housing rental information and second-hand item transaction information, integrating these will make it a complete market for demand."

Chen Qiaoshan knew that the concept of vertical search had not yet appeared.

As long as you provide appropriate guidance and with the ability of the two in front of you, you will definitely be able to occupy the high point of the market. His goals are more than that. Recruitment, tourism, house rental, and second-hand transactions are all potential markets. Once you seize the opportunity to form a leading advantage, it will definitely bring huge returns.

Chen Qiaoshan is full of confidence, but Wu Shichun and Chen Hua are quite suspicious.

Nowadays, people are skeptical about the Internet. It is generally believed that the Internet is virtual and the express delivery industry is just starting out. Most of Taobao's business is still in the same city transactions, and the people who try it are young people. As for finding a job or renting a house, no one can be sure whether there is a market or not.

Wu Shichun thought for a while but couldn't calm down: "Dashan, is it reliable to find a job online?"

Nowadays, those who have background and relationships are not counted. The rest can either go to a job fair, go to a job introduction office, or the labor market. It is really rare to rely on the Internet.

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Is it strange? Kangsheng recruitment is posted on the BBS in Peking and Qing dynasties, and it is also a mess. It seems that Baidu often posts recruitment information on these forums."

Chen Hua looked up at him, and he deleted several sensitive sections in a mess, upgraded the server, and optimized the page, and his popularity increased instead of falling. He was a little curious and asked, "Dashan, it's been so long, when are you going to merge the mess into the Qingshan Forum?"

Wu Shichun was stunned for a moment and asked again: "Are you doing the Xinyi mess?"

"Yes, I made the mirror station." Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, why did the topic suddenly change?

Wu Shichun suddenly changed his appearance and said embarrassedly: "Dashan, please help me and unblock my account. I have used that ID for more than three years. There are many old friends in the forum, so I really can't bear to leave it."

It was a mess independent of Qingshan Forum. Wang Sifeng was responsible for the system maintenance. Chen Qiaoshan did not pay much attention to it. He asked, "How did he get blocked?"

Chen Hua smiled and said, "Isn't the first section of the Renzhi section deleted? This guy posted a few words in the triangle, but was banned by the administrator indefinitely."

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but laugh. As the saying goes, at the beginning of human beings, the contents in it are similar to the human body photos of Tianya Forum. Such a page must be deleted naturally, otherwise there will definitely be problems. "Huazi and Lao Wang know each other, and you will deal with it yourself. I won't get involved. Let's talk about the serious business first."

Thanks to the improvement of the server, the operation was much more stable and the users were also steadily increasing. Seeing this, Chen Qiaoshan dispelled the original merger plan, but naturally he would not say these plans everywhere.

Chen Hua asked: "This kind of search can be done in different categories, but it is quite troublesome, and the number of users is not guaranteed for the time being."

Chen Qiaoshan knew that the market was blank and it would have to be a lot of trouble to convince them. After thinking about it, he said, "If you are willing, I can provide funds. After all, I will still search. I will not give you performance requirements for the time being. If you are interested, you can try it."

The two people on the other side looked at each other, and they were a little moved. The conditions were very relaxed and it was difficult for people to refuse.

Wu Shichun muttered in his heart. Although it was the first time he saw him, the impression that the person in front of him gave was a bit strange and he couldn't say it specifically. However, Kang Sheng's incident undoubtedly proved Chen Qiaoshan's ability, and with his understanding of the market, he wanted to try it.

The two of them discussed in a low voice for a while, and Wu Shichun said, "Why don't you do this? Huazi and I will take 400,000 and take 60%, and you will take 40% of the time. How about it?"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised. According to this agreement, he became the company boss. He was not looking for investors, but clearly looking for partners. "Do you want to bring me into the group?"

Chen Hua said: "Dashan, Lao Wu and I are both technically born, and our friends are programmers. I really don't have much confidence. We have half of our equity. We are like Kangsheng. We are responsible for technology and you are responsible for the market. Is this okay?"

Chen Qiaoshan was speechless. He really didn't expect that Yu Yongfu's experience would happen to him, and he was really at a loss.

Vertical search is a new thing after all, and Chen Qiaoshan is not confident that he will succeed. However, the two people on the other side are not simple people, so he can try it, "So, since you believe me, then let's try it."

Wu Shichunqi said: "How to try?"

"Let's do this, you can find an office space first, start with second-hand houses and rent houses, and make the search engine first, let's try the specific effect." Chen Qiaoshan was actually not sure, and the housing supply was not settled, and he didn't know how it would work.

58.com and Ganji.com have not yet appeared. If it really doesn’t work, Chen Qiaoshan wants to get involved and build a classified information network. Maybe it will have more promising potential.

Of course, things have to be done step by step. If it really works, maybe he doesn't need to remind you, and these two guys might even make it happen by themselves.

Chen Qiaoshan doesn't want to be a prophet. The world is so big that it is impossible to hold everything in his hands. That's too unrealistic, and for the time being, I can only let it go.

Wu Shichun said: "No need to look for it. I bought a suite in Huaqing Jiayuan, which is 120 square meters. I live alone. I can work in my office for the time being."

Huaqing Jiayuan and Lanqiying Community are two intersections, opposite the Central Bank's Graduate Department. Chen Qiaoshan was a little impressed. This area would have to go up 100,000 per square meter per square meter in the future. With this investment as the foundation, Wu Shichun's tens of millions of dollars is guaranteed.

"Let's do it, you can make a product development plan first, let's talk about it later, and let's talk about it in detail." Chen Qiaoshan was not in a hurry. As long as the product was not released, there would be no competitors in two years. He would have the patience to polish the product.

Wu Shichun and Chen Hua were impatient. As soon as they discussed the result, they hurriedly left and left Chen Qiaoshan on the spot.

...

In order to avoid causing market fluctuations and causing unnecessary trouble, Wang Wei's clearance plan was progressing slowly. Chen Qiaoshan did not urge him, but just took a loan amount to Kangsheng. The loan agreement was necessary and the interest rate was not low. After all, investors had been introduced and the company was on the right track. Everything was handled according to the rules.

Chen Qiaoshan himself was not idle, and the facts of the paper could not be dragged down. Fortunately, the materials were complete, and Professor Yan was guided by him, and previous papers were used as references, so the progress was going smoothly.

Kang Sheng is busy relocation these days, and Chen Qiaoshan is not worried much, but Jia Yinan stabbed a hornet's nest. The news of Nasdaq's withdrawal from China was disclosed by Sohu Finance, which has become a hot topic in the past two days.
