Chapter 756: Pony
After the National Day, Sohu was listed.
Three months ago, China Online offered 4.2 million new shares at $20 each, which rose to 60 at the opening.
Sohu 4.5 million shares, $18 per share, opened at 40 and broke through $50 a few days later......
When the news came back to China, it did not attract large-scale attention, and in an era when most people did not even understand the Internet, they were not expected to study an Internet company.
It is only published in professional newspapers and periodicals, and it has set off a lot of waves in the industry.
China.com is in the front, and Sohu is close behind, which seems to indicate that the spring of the domestic Internet is coming.
In 1999, 11 well-known Internet companies were born in China: Alibaba, Dangdang, Ctrip, Shanda, eBay, Tianya Community, etc.
They were all trend-setters at that time, and some later died, some were acquired, some became bigwigs, and some grabbed official seals...... At this moment, everyone takes Zhonghua and Sohu as examples, especially Zhang Chaoyang.
The entertainment industry temperament that comes with this product is easy to attract people, and it can be called an industry idol and a leader!
As for Times Ventures, which is a major shareholder, it continues to keep a low profile. Since Boss Xu understood that he couldn't cash out, he has been like water.
"Lao Zhang, congratulations!"
In the company, Xu Fei hugged Zhang Fox, who had just returned from the United States, and said with a smile: "With the current market value, it means that the net worth is over 100 million." ”
"Hey, I can't compare to you. ”
Zhang Fox is not modest, because he is familiar, he knows the details of the other party, and only said: "It was like a dream, and I found that I was pushed to this position overnight, and I looked at it, and it was at the foot of the mountain."
It's just very annoying, I just came back and received more than a dozen invitations to give speeches. ”
"Ha, what's next?"
"I ......"
He didn't plan for it, or those businesses, and asked, "What do you think?"
"Two!"
Xu Fei simply broke and said: "First, a new website has emerged. It's probably an alumni directory, which can be understood as a virtual campus community.
Second, there is a new thing called blog abroad. ”
“blog?”
Zhang Fox thought for a while and said, "You said weblog?"
"Yes, it's a different name now. I'm going to introduce China, it's called blogging. ”
"This thing is an online diary, which can be introduced and integrated with the community. Zhang Fox said.
"Yes, and a good addition, we are looking for an opportunity to acquire it and create the world's largest Chinese virtual community." ”
Blogs, which were introduced to China around 2002, have a website called "Blog China".
At first, it didn't make much of a splash, but then a female writer became famous, wrote a sex diary, and recorded a one-night stand with a rock musician.
The story shows the details in white strokes, like a small yellow film, which makes countless officials addicted.
This woman's name is Mu Zimei.
This musician's name is Wang Lei.
After being exposed, the musician angrily said, "It's really immoral!"
"Next year, we will launch the blog function, and it must be user-friendly. ”
"How do you call it human?"
"Simple, give the author three choices: visible to himself, visible to friends, and visible to all. ”
............
Shencheng, Huaqiang North SEG Science and Technology Park.
In an office on the fourth floor of the east of Building 2, there are probably some of the most anxious young people in the whole city. They have a software that has almost millions of users, but they are worried about adding another server.
The young man at the head was very thin, from an ordinary family, and his appearance was mediocre, but he was much stronger than the old horse.
He was nervous about the upcoming guests, and a little unbelievable.
The company was founded last year, launched OICQ in February this year, and originally planned to grow 1,000 users in the first year, 3,000-4,000 in the second year, and 10,000 in the third year.
As a result, it immediately broke a million!
The huge number of users brings huge operating costs, and a group of people take jobs everywhere to subsidize their families, and their wages are halved.
At this time, the news of Sohu's listing came, and he was blinded.
As the boss, Pony Ma was nervous and sent the news to Times Ventures, but he didn't expect the other party to be super efficient, so he was going to come to investigate today.
"You're Mr. Ma? Hello!"
"Hello, hello!"
When he saw the visitor, Xiao Ma suddenly stopped being nervous and politely greeted each other.
"You must know ICQ, which has the largest number of users in the world, but it is a foreign software after all, not local enough, and not very friendly to Chinese support.
We are different, first of all, we moved the user information and friend list to the backend server. ICQ changes computers, there is no all the information, OICQ avoids this problem.
Our archive is only 220kb and can be downloaded in a minute.
163 and 169 number access are supported, and ICQ only supports 163.
We've integrated chat rooms, person-to-person, and peer-to-peer file transfers. And users can receive offline messages, leave messages to BP machines......"
The pony Balabala was introduced, and the people who came were unmoved.
The rise of OICQ is said to have benefited from this year's National Day, I don't know if it's true or not.
During the National Day, the Internet was blocked, and netizens were unable to log in to ICQ, so they looked for alternatives, so they found OICQ and successfully retained a large number of users.
After Pony finished speaking, he asked him to look at the data on the server and the user growth curve. Now there can be tens of thousands of new users every day, and it will break one million next month.
“......”
The visitor nodded his head in recognition of it, and finally asked, "Then how do you make a profit?"
Ga!
Pony Ma was momentarily embarrassed and couldn't answer: "We, we're exploring some new profit models. ”
"Well, I know the basics, and I need to study them. ”
"Thank you for coming in person. ”
The pony sends the guest out the door, returns to the house, and spreads his hands to a group of business partners. I also looked for a pick-up before, but when people heard that they couldn't make a profit, they were immediately uninterested.
Venture capitalists, on the other hand, are just habitual negotiation skills, but they have already been instructed by their bosses and know what to expect.
Historically, IDG and Yingke Company, a subsidiary of Li Cucumber, each injected US$1.1 million and each acquired a 20% stake in Penguin. The next year the bubble burst, and the ponies were peddling around, and it was not until 2001 that the South African company MIH arrived.
MIH first used $20 million to acquire a 32.8% stake, and then acquired it from IDG and Yingke. IDG transferred 13%, the remaining 7%, spent 1.1 million when I bought it, sold it for 10 million, and I was happy with it......
This will be IDG has not yet come, the era has come first.
A few days later, the two sides agreed that Times Wind invested $2.2 million and received 40% directly.
............
National Day is indeed the most special day.
Everything has to be a little bit later.,It's like the end of the National Day.,Eh,Everything is back to normal.,Even this chapter can be sent.。
The undercurrent in the film industry is surging, and the introduction of films was banned in May, and for almost half a year, the provincial companies could no longer hold on. Endure before the National Day, this will finally break out.
"Old Wu, Old Wu!"
"Old Han, you can't see death without help, help say good things. ”
In the office of China Film Group, representatives sent from all over the country, including the president of the Beijing New Film Association, surrounded the two.
Tears are falling, both soft and hard.
"It's really not going to work!"
"I can't hold it!"
"We understand the national policy, but we also have to be considerate and considerate of us, right? The 500,000 film army can't go without eating!"
"It's not just to reflect to you, we have to go to radio and television in a while, and tell Leader Tian face to face! It's been more than 5 months, and the ban should be lifted!"
