Chapter 119 The Heroes Come Together
“Our main target users are Internet users with dyslexia. Because of the low-threshold model of picture blogs, ordinary users can browse easily.”
“ The early development market of the website is aimed at the sinking market, and low threshold is our advantage.”
Qin Shaoyan made the final conclusion.
While sipping his coffee, Steve thought about it, and then asked after a long time: "Do you have any ideas for the future of the website?"
"I have a little idea." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "In addition to advertising, we encourage bloggers to create more high-quality content and attract enough fans to pay for this high-quality content through high-quality content."
“Payment for content?” Steve’s eyes lit up, “Can you elaborate on it?”
“This is just a preliminary idea of ours.” Qin Shaoyan smiled, “I call it For OnlyFans mode!”
“OnlyFans?” Steve sat up straight and became excited.
This is another new concept.
New concepts, new stories, new models, this is what the capital market loves to hear.
“To put it simply, the creator publishes content on the website, the user pays the creator directly, and the website takes a part as a share.” Qin Shaoyan briefly introduced, “Ordinary users can benefit from these three Functions include payment to creators, subscriptions, content decryption and rewards. "Our goal is to be a content sharing platform for creators and attract users to pay for content through enough high-quality content." >
Steve put down the coffee in his hand, "Very good, I like this mode very much. Can you let me take a look at this website?"
"Of course." Qin Shaoyan stood up, "Please wait a moment while I call my partner in."
Qin Shaoyan walked to the next door and called Zuckerberg over, who was still in a daze, "Steve wants to take a look at your website. Did you bring your laptop?"
"Yes." Zuckerberg Berg quickly shook the computer bag in his hand.
"Go ahead and give a good demonstration. This is a good opportunity to show off." Qin Shaoyan cheered from the side, "Relax, don't worry about screwing up, just treat it as a preview."< br>
Zuckerberg was dragged into the office by Qin Shaoyan. He opened his laptop with a stiff expression, connected to the Internet, and opened the page to display it.
Steve glanced at it for a few times and didn't care at all about the various large-scale photos above. Instead, he carefully studied the functions of the website.
Seeing that Steve was silent, Zuckerberg quickly explained: "These are just a strategy we use to attract users in the early stage, and we will gradually improve it later."
Steve doesn't care about this, After asking about the registration, daily activity and other data of several websites, he looked at Qin Shaoyan, "How much?"
"Ten million dollars." Qin Shaoyan raised a finger, "Release 20% of the shares ."
"Two million dollars is fine." Steve nodded without hesitation.
Fuck, Qin Shaoyan regretted it, the price was too low.
"But you have to sign a betting clause." Steve added.
Qin Shaoyan looked at Zuckerberg, "Mark, what do you think?"
Zuckerberg hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I think it's okay!"
So the two parties quickly reached an agreement. The Tupu website would attract 100,000 users within half a year and reach 300,000 users after one year.
If the Graph website can meet the standards, Yahoo is willing to continue to invest at a valuation of US$100 million. If it does not meet the standards, Yahoo will obtain 40% of the shares.
All three parties are happy with this result.
Yahoo invested in a website with great potential, and Zuckerberg received valuable development funds.
As for Qin Shaoyan, he not only gained money, but also gained a website with great potential.
The most important thing is that the most threatening opponents have been bound for one year through this website.
This year is enough for Facebook to grow into a unicorn worth over 10 billion and become an unshakable king in the social field.
After receiving funding from Sequoia, Facebook has been conquering cities and territories, and the number of users continues to grow at a rapid rate.
More and more people are paying attention to this newly emerged social networking site. As the traffic increases, the value of Facebook is also constantly highlighted.
For example, Trish, a cheerleader from a small town high school, has just been shortlisted for the Popular Stars National Finals and was immediately spotted by the agency.
After a short negotiation, Tracy signed a contract with an Internet celebrity agency and obtained a promotion contract worth tens of millions of dollars.
For a time, the Popular Star contestants were so popular that other agencies rushed in to compete for these newcomers.
Many TV stations followed up on the hot topics, allowing these new Internet celebrities to show their faces in front of the cameras.
In addition to people, cats and dogs have also become new stars on Facebook.
A blogger who likes to share his cats every day became popular and became a blogger with 100,000 followers. In addition to the fame brought by the surge in traffic, she also quickly gained financial benefits, not only receiving a monthly creative reward of US$500.
A pet products company even came to the door and bought out three months of advertising for US$100,000.
The birth of wealth legends attracts more and more people.
“If you want to become an Internet celebrity, hurry up and register on Facebook!”
For a time, this sentence became the hottest topic on the Internet.
Facebook has also become the most popular website in the United States.
……
Qin Shaoyan ended his affairs in the United States and set off back to China with his team.
Zheng Nan, who had followed all the way, was full of melancholy at this time, and sighed in front of Qin Shaoyan, "Mr. Qin, your appetite is too big."
"Is it big?" Qin Shaoyan was very innocent asked in reply, "I have restrained myself enough."
"It's only been a few months, and the valuation has increased by 50%." Zheng Nan sighed, "Before, it was only 200 million, but now It costs 300 million to open your mouth. The price has increased too fast."
"It was before, it is now," Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "The valuation of Campus Network is based on Facebook. At the current valuation of Facebook, I only want you 300 million for the sake of Sequoia’s first investment.”
Zheng Nan grimaced, "I regret it. If I had known this, we should have forced you to sign before you got on the plane. Just a moment of hesitation, and 100 million is gone."
"Three hundred million is already a lot of money. Mr. Zheng." Qin Shaoyan comforted with a smile, "The valuation of Campus Network will be at least ten times higher in the next round of financing."
Zheng Nan did not refute Qin Shaoyan's words, he sighed, " We are going to bring IDG in to invest together.”
Qin Shaoyan is naturally in favor of this kind of thing. The more people who come in to win, the safer it will be.
If conditions didn't allow it, Qin Shaoyan would have wanted to bring in more than a dozen venture capital firms.
As soon as the plane landed, Zheng Nan immediately went to organize a group and started investment negotiations in a hurry.
Having already missed one opportunity, Zheng Nan was afraid of missing a second opportunity.
It will be too late if you don’t vote.
As soon as Qin Shaoyan returned to the company, Chen Guangxia, who was left behind, hurriedly came over to report.
"Mr. Qin, you are finally back." Chen Guangxia said a little anxiously, "Now our campus network has competitors, and I have issued several."
"Competitors?" Qin Shaoyan suddenly laughed, "This is a good thing. The more competitors, the more our value can be reflected."
Chen Guangxia said worriedly: "These websites are all malicious. Ah, the campus social market is so small, and with so many companies suddenly crowded in, the competition will be fierce."
"Sooner or later," Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "We can live comfortably. It’s been a long time, and it’s time to increase the intensity.”
Facebook is making a killing on the Internet in the United States, and its popularity is off the charts. This wind will soon spread from the other side of the ocean to China.
Those Internet practitioners have a very keen sense of smell, and they will definitely pounce on business opportunities when they see them.
Even with the campus network as a first comer, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of many entrepreneurs.
The couple who returned from Yale MBA directly received an investment of US$5 million, allowing Zhanzuo.com to launch the first shot of the challenge.
Dazhong.com quietly received 48 million U.S. dollars and expanded throughout the south of the Yangtze River, with the momentum of dividing the river to rule.
At the same time, imitators such as Gaopeng.com and Kaixin.com emerged one after another.
These websites may be ambitious and trying to compete, preparing to become China’s Facebook.
Or they may develop in a low-key way to seize the market, make up their mind to make a fortune and run away.
No matter what the purpose is, invisible smoke is spreading everywhere on the Chinese Internet.
Faced with the appearance of the challenger, Qin Shaoyan was not anxious at all and urged Zheng Nan very calmly.
"Mr. Zheng, when are you going to give me the money?"
"Hurry up and send me the money so that I can have a showdown with those knockoffs."
"I, Qin Shihuang, make money!"
My body is still recovering, and the sequelae of the new coronavirus are still a bit difficult to deal with. I will rest for a few days before updating
