Fang Tian took a sip of red wine and looked at Li Jiuding. "It's my honor to be able to talk to Mr. Jiuding."
Since they were familiar with each other, there was no need for pleasantries.
Li Jiuding asked directly, "Let's continue the topic from last time. Last time, we mentioned that the Internet software industry is generally not optimistic. The biggest problem is, how can a free software be profitable? How can it make money? That's the reality. Many Internet software companies have been losing money for a long time. What do you think of this? "
Fang Tian thought for a while and put down his glass. "The Internet industry hasn't figured out a mature business model yet. It's very dependent on traffic and advertisements. This business model won't go far. "
Li Jiuding was a little surprised. "Why do you say that? Almost all the websites now use this business model? "
Fang Tian: "Companies that rely on this business model will never escape the cycle of losses. Such companies will never become the leaders of the Internet industry. 90% of the companies that rely on this business model will go bankrupt in five years! "
Li Jiuding was dumbfounded. She was really going to shock him to death with her words! However, he liked Fang Tian's style. Only people with bold ideas could achieve great things in the Internet industry.
Li Jiuding asked, "Why do you say that?"
Fang Tian smiled. "Because a new era is coming. The business model will be completely changed."
"A new era?" Li Jiuding vaguely guessed something. Let him continue.
Fang Tian took out a pen from his pocket. It was a pen made of pure gold. He wrote a line of words in the white space behind the menu.
A golden string of words — Web 2.0 Era!
Li Jiuding was surprised. "I've heard people mention it overseas, but you're the first to mention Web 2.0 in China."
Fang Tian laughed. "This is the real arrival of the Internet's golden age. We're still in the Web 1.0 era. Netizens surf the Internet and their behavior is one-way. They'll look at whatever the website provides. When the Web 2.0 era comes, netizens won't just be content viewers, they'll also be content creators! "
Li Jiuding was shocked. According to what he said, a new era was really coming!
"For example, netizens can publish media information, create music, novels, and so on." Fang Tian took a sip of red wine. "The arrival of Web 2.0 is the arrival of the golden age of the Internet! The entire business model will undergo a huge change. "
Lin Keqing did not speak, quietly watching the two of them talk.
In the conversation between Fang Tian and the IT big boss, the topic of discussion was so tall and handsome!
Most of the time, her gaze was focused on Fang Tian. A serious man was very charming. At this moment, this was the feeling that Fang Tian gave Beauty Lin.
Li Jiuding drank and asked, "The business model will undergo a huge change. What is the change? Where's the greatness? "
Who could say for sure what would happen in the future? Predictions alone were not enough to convince anyone. What Li Jiuding wanted was concrete evidence.
Fang Tian moved the golden pen again. This golden pen was given to him by Li Yingming. He was reluctant to use it and had never used it before.
Today, the Golden Pen had finally given up its virginity.
In the blank space of the menu, Fang Tian wrote two big words. Each word was as big as a palm. The big golden words — platform!
"Platform?" Li Jiuding looked at it, puzzled.
"That's right, platform." Fang Tian nodded and said.
"Software can also become a platform?" Li Jiuding was surprised. This kind of thinking revolutionized his view of software in the past.
Software was software after all. It was not a physical thing. How could it become a platform? Wasn't this a castle in the air?
Fang Tian said, "Of course software can become a platform. Its scale is much bigger than a physical platform. A software platform can gather 700 to 800 million people at the same time. Yes, 700 to 800 million people gathered on a software platform! That's unimaginable in reality. Where can there be such a big platform? "
Li Jiuding thought for a while and said, "According to what you said, the future of Internet competition lies in platforms?"
"Yes!" Fang Tian snapped his fingers and said, "Platforms are the core of Internet competition. A good platform will become a battleground for military strategists! Back to what you asked me just now. After the arrival of the Web 2.0 era, what changes will happen to the business model … "
Fang Tian cleared his throat and said, "In the Web 1.0 era, we rely heavily on traffic to click on advertisements. After Web 2.0, we no longer need to provide content. Content can be provided and created by the masses of netizens. We will become a platform provider, providing platform resources and services. Our method of earning money will change from relying on advertisement clicks to value-added services, commission, big data, cloud services, and so on. Our income will become more diversified! "
The amount of information was too huge!
Li Jiuding could not digest it all at once. Even though he was an IT big shot, when it came to software platforms and software ecosystems, he had no concept of them in his mind.
It was not only him. In this day and age, no one thought that software could become a platform or ecosystem.
In this day and age, the concept that people in the industry mentioned the most was "portal". There was no "platform". The more mainstream and capable Internet companies were all web portals. Their main method of earning money was very dependent on advertisement clicks.
What Fang Tian said completely subverted Li Jiuding's understanding of Internet business models.
"You're an incredible person!" Li Jiuding was impressed. He smiled and said, "You're practically an alien."
Fang Tian chuckled and said, "I've always looked at the software industry with an Internet mindset. That's the biggest difference between me and the current software industry."
In this day and age, software developers were very lacking in Internet thinking. In this day and age, there was no other person in the world who used Internet thinking to make software like Fang Tian.
Fang Tian could not reveal his identity after his rebirth. He added, "Of course, those are all my predictions. You can doubt them too. After all, no one can predict the future."
"Yes." Li Jiuding smiled and said, "No one can predict the future, just like no one can predict that you and Miss Lin will one day become husband and wife and have children together!"
Lin Keqing blushed and said unhappily, "Uncle Jiuding, you're making fun of me again."
Li Jiuding stopped smiling and returned to the previous topic. "Just now, you said that the future of Internet competition lies in platforms. Then, how should an Internet platform be built? "
Fang Tian said, "The so-called platform, simply put, is a place to gather popularity. Think of ways to win users and retain users. In order to increase the number of users, burn money to promote, and allow the platform to lose money for a long time! "
Li Jiuding was shocked and said, "How can a company survive if it loses money for a long time?"
"Six words." Fang Tian started writing again with the golden pen. He wrote a line of golden words on the menu — Supported by investors!
"This works?" Li Jiuding's eyes were full of doubt.
"Absolutely." Fang Tian said affirmatively, "Internet software companies are optimistic about their prospects. Even if it's losing money now, it's worth buying and holding on to for a long time. It's like a man. He doesn't have much money now, but he's a potential stock. He's worth owning. "
Li Jiuding laughed. Fang Tian was a man who knew how to live off a woman!
