Chapter 707 Hanhua America
It also integrates some functions of QQ space that impressed Xu Liang deeply.
For example, drift bottles and Facebook shows similar to QQ shows.
With this, Facebook has obtained a monthly revenue of 3.75 million US dollars, but this income is completely unable to balance Facebook's huge expenditures.
But it is better than nothing.
Of course, the ‘Facebook Show’ is still developing and its revenue is growing.
In addition to the above functions, there is also a music button on Facebook. Just click it and it will jump to the Hongmeng Music webpage.
The same kind is Twitter.
The union of several websites has richer functions and is more playable than Facebook alone.
Of course it can also attract more users to register.
"Dear, although the log and comment functions can add fun to Facebook, they cannot create profits. Now Facebook has more than 20 million registered users.
It also allows singers to publish their new songs on Twitter Link.
Currently, it has 32 million registered users.
Xu Liang thought briefly, "I will figure this out. Your most important task now is to give birth to the child safely. ”
The reason is also very simple, there are basically no competitors.
Only a maximum of 140 characters are allowed to be posted and only 9 photos are allowed to be uploaded to Weibo. There is no profit point at all.
“Now Twitter’s advertising profit model has been developed very well, but advertising alone is not enough to improve Twitter’s revenue.”
I picked up the Twitter development report next to it and read it. stand up.
After all, many people are stars of movies, TV shows and songs.
Ideally, it can even exceed 35 million.
Xu Liang nodded.
At first the singers just dealt with it.
This trend soon spread to the acting profession.
But as the number of registered users on Twitter increases, more and more people are downloading and listening to songs through the link to the Hongmeng Music website homepage.
In this environment with few competitors, Twitter’s registered users have also grown rapidly with the help of Facebook’s development.
The gap between the investment of $3.2 million per month and growing is too big.
It’s a pity that I pursued traffic too much and neglected management, so I was blocked directly by the above.
I didn’t tell you this method before because we don’t have enough users to convince companies to pay.
In this era, blogs and forums are actually more popular.
“Christina, have the ‘Hot News’ function and the celebrity ranking function been implemented?”
These celebrities have huge fans.
Christina beamed.
“This method is called ‘Twitter Authentication’, which provides authentication services to public figures and well-known companies and earns a certain amount of income.
After the acquisition of Mete, coupled with our own growth, in half a year It can definitely exceed 30 million users.
Xu Liang nodded.
"Okay."
But Christina, like Helen, also has a headache about Twitter's profitability.
"Husband, do you have any better way?"
They gradually paid attention to it.
Compared to Facebook, Twitter is undoubtedly developing much faster.
"It has been released.
Xu Liang nodded. The celebrity ranking list is easy to attract fans and create hot spots.
The effect is very good."
Now that we have 32 million users, we can try this approach.
Although Twitter has introduced embedded advertising, for the overall effect, there are very few ads, and the current monthly revenue is only US$1.3 million.
On Facebook, there are Rose Network, MySpace, and Mete, but on Twitter, he is the only one.
As for the specific payment ratio, you can discuss it with Twitter’s management. ”
Actors are also promoting their new films on it.
So can we seriously consider the issue of profitability?
Only rely on ‘Facebook Show’ , it is difficult to support Facebook’s revenue.”
Soon Twitter's user base grew faster than Facebook's.
In the last generation, Weibo made this list ridiculous. Fans fought every day for their idols to be ranked higher, which kept Weibo's traffic high.
A large part of the reason why there are so many users is that Universal Music has introduced all its contracted singers to Twitter.
“Thank you, husband.”
Christina directly rewarded Xu Liang with a kiss, and then looked at Helen next to her provocatively.
Not to be outdone, the latter directly hugged Xu Liang's right arm.
The already abundant headlights have become even larger due to pregnancy.
Xu Liang’s right arm pressed against it. It was big, soft and slippery, and the experience was incomparable.
After rubbing it again and again, the nephrite was fragrant, and Xu Liang’s head softened.
If Christina hadn't joined him, he would have almost agreed.
"Ahem.
Helen, don't worry. I have long-term plans for Facebook's future, and now is not the time to develop a profit model. But don't worry.
When will Facebook's number of registered users break through? 50 million, I will develop a second profit model for Facebook.”
“Isn’t it possible now?” Helen said unwillingly.
“No.
Facebook's dominant position in social networking sites has not yet been fully established. If it is released rashly, it will be easy for others to follow suit.
At that time, it will not only attract more capital, but also make it more difficult for us to compete for the social market. Wise people will not do this. "
Helen nodded and did not continue.
"Christina, continue to invite more celebrities to register on Twitter, which is related to more ways of making money on Twitter. ”
“Okay, husband. ”
"It's getting late, just take a quick wash and go to bed to rest."
After settling the two pregnant women, Xu Liang came downstairs. Sure enough, my parents weren't asleep yet.
“Is everything settled?” Lao Xu asked.
“Well, we all fell asleep.”
"No trouble?"
"We are an old married couple, what's the point?"
Looking at his son's natural behavior, Lao Xu was a little envious, why didn't he have this kind of support? The blessing of the right hand.
“Son, let me tell you, there are quite a few women around you. Xiaoyang, Yuhui, Kaiyue, Mingzhen and Yizhen, plus Christina and Helen, there are seven.
Three wives and four concubines are enough, is it time to calm down?" Wang Lingxiang said.
"Mom, I listen to you."
Waving his hand and slapping him on the shoulder, Wang Lingxiang said angrily: "Shut up, when I saw you like that just now, I knew you didn't listen to me. Go in."
"Mom, I am sincere in what I say."
"You are the one who raised me. I know what your ass is. ...Son, having too many women is not a good thing.
Have you ever seen how many of the emperors in ancient times lived a long time?
Why?
Did you die on a woman’s belly because you didn’t know how to exercise restraint? "
Xu Yongpei also helped.
"Son, we are also doing it for your own good. Haven't you heard the old saying?
Erba's beautiful body looks like a crisp,
He holds a sword at his waist and kills ordinary people.
Although there were no dead heads,
secretly the bones of the emperor were withered.
Even if you don’t do it for us, you must exercise restraint for yourself. ”
Looking at the earnest way the couple spoke, Xu Liang understood that he had done a lot of homework in advance.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will control myself and will never act recklessly."
"Really?"
"It's absolutely true."
Xu Liang promised again and again Finally, my father and mother let him go.
Back in the study, Xu Liang picked up his cell phone and called Lu Hui.
"Mr. Xu."
"Rent a villa as soon as possible, and let her live in it when Xinmei is here."
The due date of the two pregnant women is still half a month away, and plus During postpartum recovery time, he had to be a monk here for at least two months. For Xu Liang, who was used to the smell of meat, this was simply torture.
So I brought Fukuda Shinmei over from Japan again, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
"Okay, Mr. Xu. What kind of villa do you want?"
"It doesn't have to be too big, 1,000 to 2,000 square meters is enough."
Xu Liang is used to manors of several thousand square meters, or even tens of thousands of square meters.
A house of one or two thousand square meters is really small in his eyes.
After the explanation, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
The next day, after spending some time with Christina and Helen, Xu Liang came to No. 2104 Shaqiu Road, the office of Hanhua Silicon Valley.
"Mr. Xu."
His eyes quickly swept over everyone.
“Let’s all sit down.”
After everyone sat down, Xu Liang continued with a smile.
“It has been more than half a year since we last met. In this short period of time, Hanhua has gone a step further and already has two branches in New York and Silicon Valley and six funds.
< br>
We also have two new comrades among us. "
The eyes changed.
"Javid, Chad, welcome to join Hanhua. "
Two middle-aged white men in their thirties, one thin and one fat, stood up quickly.
"I am honored to join Hanhua, a group that has created countless honors, and I am also very happy. I can work with everyone.
I hope to achieve dazzling achievements under the leadership of BOSS in the future and realize my life ideals. ”
Javed Karim, the head of Fund 13 of the venture capital department, said.
Noting everyone’s gaze, Chad Hurley, the head of Fund 14, thought for a moment.< br>
“Me, too. ”
Xu Liang was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect to hear the theory of ‘me too’ in the United States.
But he quickly reacted, applauded and laughed.
"Excellent speech, please take a seat, please."
Javed Karim and Chad Hurley are both venture capitalists recruited by Jiang Xiaoyang. Elite.
However, the former is good at the Internet and consumer fields, while the latter is mainly in the biomedical field.
Compared with Javid's witty words, Chad is not good at words, but he is very shrewd and good at seizing investment opportunities.
His most successful investment case is the discovery of the famous biomedical company Agilent Technologies.
In the five years since I entered the venture capital field, I have invested in 29 projects and successfully exited 16 of them, with a probability of more than half, and the results are very good.
But everyone has advantages and disadvantages.
Chad Hurley, who is not good at words and has a hot temper, ran away angrily because of a conflict with the president of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers over the investment in Biogen Idec.
Poached by Hanhua with a high salary, he is in charge of Fund No. 14 and manages US$500 million.
Javid doesn’t have his stellar resume, but he’s also an industry veteran.
“There are two main things announced today.
First, in order to face the increasingly fierce competition in the venture capital industry.
The head office has decided not to interfere with the U.S. branch.
In other words, starting from today, except for a few auxiliary businesses such as finance, personnel, and security, all other matters will be decided by you. ”
The head office's further loosening of restrictions made everyone's faces show excitement.
