Chapter 476
Xiong Xiaoge almost laughed at Qin Shaoyan's shamelessness.
"If you are not familiar with Sina, you are embarrassed to poach people, and then let me do the offending things?" Xiong Xiaoge snorted coldly, "You are smart enough in your abacus."
< "Acquaintances are easy to deal with." Qin Shaoyan did not respond to Xiong Xiaoge's words. "Sina management team is so chaotic, and shareholders are messing around, and the good company is what it is now."
"Loss After NetEase lost Sohu, if you continue, you will have no chance of losing. You can only rely on your blog to survive, but it won’t last long. ”
The first blogger in China was not Sina, but it was not popular when it first came out. Later, various domestic portals such as Sina, Sohu, and NetEase were not optimistic about the blog business and joined the blog camp. In the end, Sina brought in a number of Internet celebrities. Cheering, winning the largest market.
But this blog is good-looking but not delicious, like a chicken rib, and cannot be cashed in.
As soon as Weibo is released, the blog will soon withdraw from the stage of history, and Sina, the Internet predecessor, will fall to the second-rate level.
Xiong Xiaoge thought for a while and sighed, "I'll invite you some people to help you. As for how much Weibo can do, it depends on yourself."
"President Xiong Work hard, Weibo is related to the future of the campus network. "Qin Shaoyan continues to PUA, "Mr. Xiong, Mr. Zheng, I always feel that you are not in the same realm as other venture capital investors. Why do I have been working with you? That's because you value it. Professional qualities."
"If you really have concerns, just think that I have never mentioned this. It's just that whether Weibo can jump over the dragon gate depends on its own luck."
"It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, after all, Xiong must maintain his relationship with his friends, and the stock price of campus network is not that important. "
Xiong Xiaoge was furious, "Qin Shaoyan, don't be sarcastic, I didn't say I won't help."
"I'll just say it casually." Qin Shaoyan said with an innocent face, "I know Mr. Xiong will definitely try to convince his friends. Whether Weibo can succeed depends on your efforts."
Xiong Xiaoge Frowning, "Weibo will be online on January 1st, are you ready in advance?"
"It's almost done." Qin Shaoyan answered very confidently, "The United States will also launch Twitter simultaneously, and then global Internet users can experience the convenience of the social 2.0 era."
"Hey, the world's Going online simultaneously? "Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised, "Who decided this strategy? Is it you?"
"Of course it was me." Qin Shaoyan replied, "We can use the publicity created by US Twitter to give Weibo creates momentum, which will also benefit the stock price of campus network, killing two birds with one stone."
Zheng Nan asked, "Will Twitter attract domestic users?"
"I'll let the push The registration of IPs in East and Southeast Asia has been temporarily blocked. "Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "Twitter's current target users are still limited to North America and some English-speaking regions in Europe, and they do not have the intention to expand globally."
Xiong Xiaoge and Zheng Nan were very satisfied with this plan. Qin Shaoyan still had great experience in publicity and momentum. He can be said to be an Internet marketing expert.
However, Xiong Xiaoge pondered for a moment and said earnestly: "Your Weibo is indeed a bit funny, but you should not focus all your focus on this project."
"Campus After all, the Internet is the foundation of starting a business, and its foundation cannot be shaken. "
For Xiong Xiaoge, it is still unknown whether Weibo can rise, when it will rise, and whether it can make a profit.
He disagreed with Qin Shaoyan's tilting all the resources of the campus network to the top. After all, the campus network is a listed company, and every move will affect the stock price.
If Weibo does not achieve expected results and the development of campus network will be hindered, it will be quite unfavorable to the stock price.
Although the campus network may have bottlenecks in the future development, the market still doesn't know that it can still operate well during this period.
They's shareholder hasn't made enough money yet.
If you really want to do Weibo, you can wait until there is a bottleneck on the campus website.
"Time is endless, Mr. Xiong." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "The Internet is developing rapidly now. We can wait, but our opponents won't wait."
"We can survive by keeping our original intention, users first, keep making progress and breaking through." Xiong Xiaoge frowned, exchanged glances with Zheng Nan, and finally said seriously: "We support you when you do Weibo. You, but you cannot put down the campus network. At least you must keep the campus network growing and keep the prosperity of the campus network for at least one year."
Qin Shaoyan nodded, "No problem, campus network It will continue to develop, at least it will continue to improve in data."
Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief after obtaining Qin Shaoyan's guarantee.
No matter what method Qin Shaoyan is planning to use, as long as the report can be made beautiful, everyone is here to make money, not to accompany you to innovate.
After sending the investor away, Qin Shaoyan still smiled, "Did you see it? This is the virtue of venture capital institutions."
Zhang Pingyi sighed, "Maybe your bold plan scared me After they were gone, they gave up the campus network and made all their efforts to make Weibo. It was a bit too exciting for them. "
"I admit that I do have the gambling element." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "This one on Weibo It's indeed a bit radical. I was afraid that my backup plan would be too conservative and not in line with their appetite, so I didn't mention it. "
Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment, "What is your backup plan?" "Just bet on instant messaging software directly and try it out with Penguin." Qin Shaoyan replied, "Get a piece of the market before 2011, and then prepare for the new Internet era."
"Ah?" Zhang Pingyi was shocked, "You call this plan conservative?"
"It's indeed conservative." Qin Shaoyan replied naturally, "I'm equivalent to giving up all the social public opinion platforms. Ah, I'm really reluctant to let it go. "
"No, are you so optimistic about the instant messaging software market?" Zhang Pingyi was a little confused, "Penguin is now the dominant one, and I want to compete with it Not too risky? "
"It's indeed a bit risky, but the penguin is not a monster with copper heads and iron arms. For so many years, no one really threatens it." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, " It does not mean that it is invincible."
"QQ can be regarded as a dividend of the times. Thanks to the rapid development of China's Internet, it has accumulated it, but it also has its own strengths and faces pressure from its opponents. It can continue to iterate and evolve."
"The early QQ was not profitable, which led to huge financial pressure. Now it has found a way to make a profit, and its development will become smoother and smoother in the future, and it will be more and more difficult to challenge it."
QQ was truly called in the early years. The one who can match the opponent is MSN, which claimed to be 300 million users in China back then.
It's just that there are few MSN functions, slow iteration, and it is not easy to use, so it was quickly surpassed by QQ.
Zhang Pingyi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Will you win?"
"I will definitely win." Qin Shaoyan said confidently.
"Why are you so confident?" Zhang Pingyi continued to ask.
"Sina, Sohu, NetEase." Qin Shaoyan raised three fingers, "The three major portals back then were also the first Internet companies to go public in the United States. In the early days, the domestic Internet was at its peak. What's the point now? Like? "
"Sina and Sohu plus a market value can't keep up with half of our campus network, and NetEase lives on its gaming business." "
"The development of the Internet is also changing with each passing day, No one can always stand on the verge of the wind and stand at the forefront, and there is no company that cannot be defeated."
"After the arrival of the new era, the old giants will be ruthlessly left behind the new trend. .”
"New era?" Zhang Pingyi thought slowly, then nodded, "I find that your confidence in the future is stronger than anyone else."
Qin Shaoyan smiled. He was not confident in the future. Just read the reference answer in advance.
"I have confidence in the future of the country." Qin Shaoyan forced a sublimation of the topic, "There are more opportunities to make money in the future."
"Even if the instant messaging software cannot win, We can rely on something else. "
"I believe you." Zhang Pingyi also smiled, "Anyway, I am rich and I can't spend all the money I earn in my lifetime. What do you think I'll do Just do it."
"Then let's start with the first five-year plan." Qin Shaoyan suddenly became full of fighting spirit.
…
The first day after "Happy Farm" opened the channel mall, the turnover exceeded 10 million. This news was like a bombshell that swept the entire Internet circle, allowing all peers to Shocked.
Why is it ten million?
Is a vegetable stealing game so profitable? It's still a web game, and the design is not complicated, and technically not very difficult.
But such a simple thing had a revenue of 10 million on the day of opening the payment.
Why is it so easy for others to make money? We work hard to attract users, but we can’t make much money by paying, which is entirely supported by advertising revenue.
A large number of Internet entrepreneurs were jealous and wanted to create a "Happy Farm" themselves.
As the leading company in the online game field, NetEase also quickly held an internal meeting to review "Happy Rural Areas".
The boss Ding Lei listened to the assistant reporting various data from "Happy Farm" with a serious face, and the entire conference room was silent.
Ding Lei glanced at the others and said directly: "You are all elites in the game field. Tell me, what is the success of "Happy Farm"?"
The people below are here He immediately spoke enthusiastically, "Its gameplay is not the main thing, it focuses on social attributes."
"Easy to register, easy to operate, and easy to understand the development route."
"Ranking The list function allows users to show off in their social circle, which is more fulfilling than showing off to strange gamers. "
"It's just a web game, you can play it when you open it. The cost of user acquisition is very low, which is incomparable to client games. Of course, its gameplay and picture quality are just that."
No one is available." One wrong poem, one post, one content, one in one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one read!
The people in the game department talked about their opponent's strengths and weaknesses, and what they said made sense, but Ding Lei still frowned. "Do you think web games have a future?" Ding Lei suddenly asked.
Faced with this problem, the people present looked shocked.
How could the boss have this idea? What kind of game is web games? It can’t be used on the table.
"Mr. Ding, web games are not technically difficult, but they have too many shortcomings. Client games are developing more and more perfectly, and users may not be able to accept low-quality products like web games. "
"Yes, Mr. Ding, "Happy Farm" is strictly not a game, so we don't need to learn it."
"There are a lot of games in the Internet cafe, and I haven't seen anyone who plays "Happy Farm". There are many white-collar workers and middle-aged and elderly people at work. These people are not our target users."
Ding Lei suddenly asked, "Then why do you think Qin Shaoyan is talking about? Will you make such a game? ”
Someone immediately replied: "Of course it's for socializing. Campus Network itself is a social networking website. The game is to expand the user group."
Ding Lei nodded, "The analysis is very good, so we can Can't you make something similar? "
The people below were stunned and looked at each other.
"NetEase also needs a social game to expand its user base." Ding Lei said, "Since web games are not difficult, let's do one too."
"..."
<..." br>
…
Penguin Company.
Ma Huateng said to Zheng Zhihao with emotion: "I didn't expect "Happy Farm" to have such potential. The decision was a bit hasty before."
"QQ Farm's project was wrong, but the strategy The direction is right."
Zheng Zhihao nodded. The mistake of QQ Farm was that he shouldn't have copied it directly. As a result, he didn't eat the meat and even made him feel slutty.
"If I had changed to a new social game before, the situation in QQ space will be different now."
Ma Huateng thought for a moment, "Mr. Zheng, you can reorganize a group of people and make web social games." This project is done again."
"But remember that we must not copy "Happy Farm", we must make our own originals."
"It should not only be original, but also in user interaction It is better than "Happy Farm"." Zheng Zhihao agreed immediately, "I will immediately re-establish a project team when I go back and take responsibility for it."
Leaders often formulate KPIs for their subordinates that they need both. Regardless of whether they can be completed or not, the task is arranged anyway.
Ma Huateng said regretfully, "Qin Shaoyan is... It's a pity that it's not our penguin."
At the same time, not only NetEase and Penguin, but also Baidu, Sina and Sohu all released it. The news of the wind is about to play their own social games, and even Alibaba, the e-commerce person, is rushing to join in the fun.
In the United States across the ocean, Facebook has launched the overseas version of "Happy Farm".
As soon as the game was launched, it was immediately popular in the entire American Internet, and countless users flocked to it, and the number of registered users of the game exceeded 2 million that day.
In less than a week, the registered users have exceeded 30 million.
The revenue on the first day of the game actually reached 20 million US dollars, and the news shocked the US Internet industry.
As the largest social networking website in the United States, Facebook has always relied on advertising revenue.
Because of the large traffic and a lot of advertising, we can barely balance the income and expenditure, but the profit is still far away.
As soon as the overseas version of "Happy Farm" was launched, it immediately showed its huge money-making ability, which made Facebook boil from top to bottom.
If a company makes money, it means that their salary will increase. The company has good development prospects and continues to make profits, the listed stock price will become higher and higher, which will be more beneficial to employees holding shares.
The happiest person is naturally the investors behind Facebook. Sequoia, Goldman Sachs and other institutions immediately mobilized some public opinion media and blew hard at Facebook.
Bill Gates is even happier. The ability to make money on Facebook means that he has a good investment vision, especially because he just bought a large amount of shares.
Facebook's excellent performance made the voices against him disappear immediately, replaced by flattery.
Investment institutions have issued reports, continuing to be optimistic about Facebook's future, and everyone is looking forward to Facebook's listing.
There is no accurate news about when Facebook will be listed, but its brother campus network is listed.
"Happy Farm" was introduced from the Campus Network, which shows that the Campus Network is also a very high-quality stock.
As a replacement for Facebook, the stock price of Campus Network immediately rose on the Rockets, and its market value directly exceeded 15 billion US dollars, heading towards 20 billion US dollars.
After the news came back to China, the domestic Internet was in an uproar again.
The current market value of Campus Network has exceeded that of NetEase and has become the number one Internet company in China.
The company's boss, Qin Shaoyan, also became the richest man in China.
Multiple media have begun to go out, wanting to interview CEO Qin Shaoyan and ask about his thoughts as the richest man.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoyan hid at this time, and all the interviews were handed over to the public relations department to respond, claiming that Qin's richest man was going into seclusion to create an epoch-making product.
This made everyone's curiosity arouse.
What is Qin Shaoyan fiddling with? It has become the topic of everyone's most concerned.
Before New Year's Day, the campus network suddenly issued an announcement.
Announcement is short.
"On January 1, 2007, a new era of Internet social networking is about to arrive!"
