"Also, have you considered the cost and profit of doing this?" Boss Jia continued to stab Ma Huateng's heart with a knife.
According to the way you set up reserve warehouses all over the country, you have to hire servants to manage these warehouses. At the same time, you have to be responsible for receiving customers and so on. Just this set alone will cost you more than a billion RMB.
This is only the initial cost. In the future, the monthly maintenance cost will be around tens of millions of RMB. Then, according to the calculation of Shang Chao's 5% profit, you will need at least a billion RMB in sales every month to recoup the cost.
"Let me take a step back. Even if the Daqian Group pays for these costs for you, how many people in the country have computers now? How many people have the Internet? To maintain such a huge website, how huge of a database is needed? And the cost in terms of electronics?"
"How about this? If you join, I will only give you three million RMB as the starting capital. Tell me, how long will it take for you to make a profit?"
"You know, it took Leng Xunxin less than a year for his Tian Xing to make a profit. Moreover, the profit is more than 30 million USD every month! How long will your plan take to give me 30 million USD in profit? "
Ma Huateng was sweating profusely from Boss Jia's questions. In fact, Ma Huateng had thought about this problem. However, Boss Jia had given Tian Xing a few hundred million USD as the starting capital. Therefore, Ma Huateng estimated that Boss Jia would also give him a few hundred million USD. He did not consider the problem of insufficient funds at all.
But now, Boss Jia only gave him three million RMB. What was that enough for?
Besides, it was only three million RMB. He, Ma Huateng, could take out this money himself. Why would he join the Daqian Group?
"Now, sit back and think about the problem I gave you!" Boss Jia let the dazed Ma Huateng think about this problem by himself. Then, he looked at Ma Yun and said to Ma Yun, "Ma Huateng's proposal has a specific implementation problem. However, your proposal has a problem with the entire direction!" Boss Jia said faintly.
"How is it possible? How can there be a problem with my direction!" Ma Yun immediately asked in confusion.
"I've read your proposal. You want to create a minimalist instant messaging software, right?" Boss Jia's words stunned Ma Yun, because Ma Yun had never heard of the term instant messaging software.
However, Ma Yun wasn't stupid. Instant messaging software was the name of the software he designed. It was a very professional name that even Ma Yun didn't think of. Ma Yun didn't expect Jia Yapeng to come up with such a professional name just by taking a look at his proposal.
"Sure enough, the gap between people is huge!" Ma Yun sighed in his heart.
Then, Ma Yun recalled what Boss Jia had just said to him. He suddenly felt a sense of injustice. He looked at Boss Jia, wanting to know why he was thinking in the wrong direction.
"The software you designed, in terms of UI, seems to be quite good. It's very indirect. There's only a name column. Click on the name column and you can directly communicate with your friends. The overall blue color scheme is also very comfortable. In terms of minimalism, it's done very well!"
Boss Jia praised, which made Ma Yun nod. However, in the next second, Boss Jia snorted and said, "But your mistake is in the minimalist style. There's only a friend column and friends can only communicate with each other through text. This direction is very wrong!"
"Is there anything wrong with minimalism?" Ma Yun was anxious, "Work is a very busy thing. Therefore, I think that software should be minimalist. Use the fastest speed to complete the simplest things. This is the software that's needed for work!"
"Well, let's not talk about how narrow your definition of this software is. Let me ask you, when you add it to work, your colleagues need to see a picture. How can a software that only has text function send the picture to them?"
"You can even send pictures?" Ma Yun was stunned.
"Also, when communicating, is there anyone who doesn't like the blue background? Can they change the background color of the software to better suit their aesthetic needs?"
"Also, can we also integrate an email function into the software so that when customers use the software, they can automatically use the email function for comprehensive communication?"
"Right, when working, if possible, can we directly send some smaller programs through our software? Isn't that more convenient?"
"Also, also, why is everyone's avatar fixed in the image of an ant? Why can't customers set their avatar according to their own wishes?"
"Also, also, I think we can also give users a place to show themselves. They can write some of their feelings in this place, send some of their own photos, and even do some interactive activities on the web. It's full of show off!"
"Also, also, also, you actually set up a setting that can only search for friends through their ID and then add each other as friends. This is even more wrong. I think we can totally design a random search function. Everyone can randomly search for a friend on the Internet. It's random enough. Wouldn't it be more interesting to chat together? "
…
"Lastly, which is also the most retarded setting, you actually have to pay for this software. Every hour, you even have to charge 30 cents for the communication fee. Are you looking for death?"
Boss Jia said dozens of "also" in one breath, which made Ma Yun completely confused. In the end, Ma Yun stupidly said, "But this way, the software is incomparably complicated. And if we don't charge for it, this software won't be profitable. Especially if you add so many functions, the cost will be higher and it will be harder to make a profit! "
"Don't worry, as long as the traffic increases, making a profit is just a matter of minutes!" Boss Jia smiled faintly, "Even if it's not enough, there's still me. I can give you 10 million USD as a fee. Before this money is spent, I think you can find a way to make a profit!"
"Boss, this is too unfair!" Ma Huateng stood up and said angrily.
"Shut up, I don't want to talk to you!" Ma Huateng sat back down obediently.
"Alright, you do the same as him. Sit back and think about it. Is minimalism better or a full-featured software better?" Boss Jia also arranged for Ma Yun to sit down and began to think about life.
"Alright, it's your turn. Stand up and tell me your thoughts!" Boss Jia said to Ma Huateng again after Ma Yun sat down.
"But you just asked me to sit down!" Ma Huateng said, wanting to cry but having no tears.
