What Wei Mingrang didn't know was that on the day the school network was launched, his imagined competitor had just come up with this idea.

Wang Xing, who originally created the School Network, happened to see an article about the American social networking website Facebook on December 1, 2005, and decided to imitate it in China.

Then Wang Xing pulled two other classmates to take pictures of the cat and paint. It took only a week to launch the Chinese version of Facebook on December 8, which is the original historical school network.

After Wei Mingrang's rebirth, Wang Xing, who was in Beijing, saw an article about Facebook in the afternoon and had the idea of ​​imitating it.

Then Wang Xing called his classmate Wang Huiwen and wanted to invite him to create a domestic version of Facebook. He even thought of the name, so he called it School Inside Network.

However, after listening to Wang Xing's endless excited explanation, Wang Huiwen said to Wang Xing on the phone: "Your idea is too late. Someone has launched an intra-school network in China, and it's today."

Wang Xing was stunned and said in disbelief: "Is it true or false? Such a coincidence?"

Wang Huiwen said: "If you don't believe it, you can watch it online by yourself. The name of the website is the same as you think. It is also called Zhongnei.com, Sohu, Sina, and NetEase. Moreover, the people who founded the website are very famous online. Have you heard the song "I believe"? It is the original creator of this song, Ming Qiao, and his second new song was released on Zhongnei.com. The quality is very high. It is estimated that the number of registered people in Zhongnei.com has exceeded 10,000. Moreover, Ming Qiao is also the author of the online novel "Buddha is the Tao". There may be tens of millions of readers in the online novel industry. The traffic and number of registered people in the school network will continue to soar in the next period of time. You are one step too late and there is no chance!"

After putting down the phone, Wang Xing still couldn't believe that such a coincidence was happening.

He just came up with this idea today, but others have already launched the campus network today, and even the name and website are the same as his idea.

He is a doctoral student who has returned from the United States and has just thought of imitating Facebook. Some people in China think of this like him, and the time and name are really coincidental.

Wang Xing, who didn't believe in evil, quickly checked the Internet, and then found that Wang Huiwen was right and he had no chance.

Wang Xing is actually a rich second generation. He has a cement factory with an annual output of 2 million tons in his family. The investment when building the factory reached more than 600 million yuan.

That is why Wang Xing became one of the first people in the local area to own personal computers and was also the most proficient in computers in the local area. He was able to directly be admitted to the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University, and later went to the United States to study for a Ph.D.

It was in the United States that Wang Xing thought about the idea of ​​returning to China to imitate and copy the Silicon Valley Internet Enterprise Model and make a time difference between China and the United States.

At this time, Wang Xing had just returned to Beijing not long ago, and then today he targeted Facebook and determined the first object to imitate.

Unexpectedly, someone else wanted to be ahead of him and had already put it into practice.

If Wang Xing is an ordinary entrepreneur, he is not so frustrated, he can find a few students from programming experts to get the website out in three to five days, and then use their reputation at Tsinghua University and more funds in his hands than the other party to promote and spread, squeezing out competitors.

But after searching the Internet and checking the information of Ming Qiao, the boss of the school network, Wang Xing could only admit that he had no chance at all.

Because Ming Qiao is not an ordinary entrepreneur, he is a master writer in the online novel industry with tens of millions of readers, and countless companions also recommend him to him.

At the same time, Ming Qiao is also a popular singer who became famous in one song, and the quality of the second song is also very high. She also used its first release on the campus network to drive traffic on the campus network.

Ming Qiao's own fame has a role in the early stage of the website, which is difficult for Wang Xing to reach.

No matter how rich he is, he cannot beat Wei Mingrang's famous one.

What's more, it was his father who had money, not him.

My father always wanted him to go back and manage the cement factory, but he did not support him in the Internet.

Therefore, the family will not use large amounts of funds to support his startup in the Internet. Wang Xing's startup capital is just more than 1 million yuan obtained by saving pocket money and New Year's money.

More than 1 million in 2005 were naturally a super big money and millionaires for ordinary people, but it was completely impossible to burn money in the Internet industry, especially to compete with Internet celebrities like Ming Qiao.

It is said that the monthly electronic manuscript fee of "Buddha is the Tao" is more than 100,000 yuan, and Wang Xing has no advantage in terms of funds, let alone Qiao's fame online.

If it takes one year for Wang Xing to start the school network himself to increase the registered users to the level of 1 million, Mingqiao's school network may take less than a month.

Unless he can convince his father to invest tens of millions of dollars and then carry out overwhelming publicity and promotion in the national media and campus, he can compete with Mingqiao's intra-campus network.

But that is impossible. My father would never invest so much money in him to start a business on the Internet, or even with such strong competitors.

Wang Xing, who was originally complacent about his idea of ​​a good idea, became a little depressed.

Think about the United States with MSN and QQ in China; the United States with Yahoo and Sina in China; the United States with Google and Baidu in China; the United States with Amazon and Taobao in China...

It seems that my idea of ​​imitating American Internet companies in China is not unique, and countless people have long been ahead of me.

After thinking about it for a while, watching the increasing lively scenes of various sectors and comment areas of the school network, Wang Xing was envious and frustrated and suddenly felt moved: "Since I no longer have the opportunity to create the school network, and Mingqiao's school network will obviously be successful. Can I be an angel investor, invest a certain amount of funds to obtain some shares, and wait for appreciation?"

According to public information reported by media reports, Ming Qiao, whose original name was Wei Mingrang, came from a rural area in Guizhou. She has just entered her freshman year. "Buddha is the Tao" has not been on the shelves for a long time. I guess Wei Mingrang didn't have much money either.

With the explosive growth of the number of registered students in the school network, the demand for servers, broadband, office space, employee salaries and other expenses will also increase rapidly, and Wei Mingrang's income may not be able to catch up.

Moreover, Wei Mingrang, who was born in a rural area and just entered a freshman, should not have many connections. The company's employees can only recruit from the market and cannot recruit any experts. However, he has many connections from Tsinghua University and the Internet abroad. He can help Wei Mingrang contact some management and technology experts to take charge, make the campus network bigger and stronger, and increase the chance of success.
