Chapter 753 - Portals Are Not Important (2nd Update)
"Don't worry!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "There's nothing to rush about!"
"Qin Feng, although there is still a gap between the number of people who log in every day and us, it is not that far! The three of them are all our user groups!" Jiang Yong said eagerly.
"I know!" Qin Feng said soothingly, "Before this, there was only one portal for us, but now there are four, isn't it to divert our customer base!"
"So, we have to find a way to keep it! Especially, these portals, in order to compete with us for customers, they have come up with all kinds of ideas, you see, there are some super hot headlines, why the United States wants to block China, so-and-so celebrities have illegitimate children and so-and-so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and As a result, when you click in, it's completely the bull's head and the horse's mouth!" Jiang said angrily.
"That's right, it's a gimmick!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Qin Feng, why aren't you in a hurry!" Jiang Yong was in a hurry, but Qin Feng was there, not moving like a mountain, which made him feel like he was about to collapse.
Qin Feng smiled.
"There's really no need to worry!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "This kind of thing, what is there to be anxious about!" You must know that the Internet, in the end, can win not because of these gimmicks, but because of its own value. In other words, its own technical strength!"
Qin Feng took a sip of tea.
"The portal thing, as I said a long time ago, is just a transitional product of an era. We don't need to worry about that. Even if they snatch up all the traffic, it's nothing to us!" Qin Feng said.
"What's important?" Jiang Yong asked.
Qin Feng smiled.
"QQ! search engine!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "This is the most important thing for us at the moment." You'll have to get these two right. It's going to mess up, and you're going to completely bury our cyber future!"
"But portals, aren't they able to bring traffic now? Moreover, there are already advertisers who are negotiating cooperation. This can make money! And QQ, what other search engine can make money?"
"Of course, you can't make money now! But soon, you will make money! Remember, any era is an era of eyeball economy. For those advertisers, where there is an eyeball economy, there is a presence for them. Whether it's QQ or a search engine, it's the mainstream in the future, so don't worry about the portal. We do ours, the rest, let them toss. ”
Jiang Yong was still skeptical, but since Qin Feng said it, he could only believe it. After all, now the company doesn't have much extra money to toss.
The company has not chosen financing so far. Because financing, it means dilution of equity. That's what they don't want to do. In particular, companies are reluctant to raise money when they can borrow from banks.
To borrow, you only need to pay interest and repayment.
"By the way, QQ, we still have to guard against it!" Qin Feng said, "to prevent them from getting a similar social media software to come out." So, you hurry up and get a chat group out. Don't launch it just yet!"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yong asked.
"It's just like the forum chat rooms in the forums of the portal. It's just that this is a chat group, and different QQ users can join a group to chat. That way, it is possible to bring together those who share the same hobbies. Qin Feng said.
"In this case, the server requirements are relatively high. Jiang Yong said, "In this way, our expenses will be much larger." ”
"How much money is left in the company's account now?" Qin Feng asked.
"A little more than 100 million!" Jiang Yong said, "Moreover, we don't have any income at the moment, and in terms of portals, we probably have a monthly income of two or three hundred thousand now!"
It can have two or three hundred thousand a month, which is not bad now. After all, Yahoo in the United States also has a low income. That's an international giant.
"Qin Feng, if the chat group is opened, coupled with the increase in users, then the server, we must increase. There are also expenses such as purchasing lines, plus salaries. In this way, in the future, our expenses in all aspects will probably not be less than 10 million yuan!" Jiang Yong said.
At the beginning, Brother Xiaoma's QQ was difficult to operate. At that time, the number of users was not much, and there were still very few, and they almost sold Brother Pony for 500,000.
Later, no one bought it, thinking that this thing could be made out of any way, what was the value. At the beginning, the first object that Brother Xiao Ma wanted to sell was the boss of Fox Hunting.
As a result, the fox hunting boss came and said, I can find a few college students and spend a night to get this thing. You have to sell it for 500,000, it's too expensive!
This fox hunting boss didn't look down on him at all. So I didn't buy it either.
Looking at it now, Qin Feng doesn't think that these people have such an outstanding vision and will think that QQ is the king of the future.
However, it's always good to keep everything ready.
It's like, if anything happens, you can have both hands to prepare, then don't panic.
"Don't be afraid of a lot of money, so be it!" Qin Feng thought for a while, "I'll talk to the Modu City Government again, and see if the company here can borrow a little more!"
If you can take out a loan now, you must borrow more. It is better to owe the state and the bank than to the so-called angel investors.
They are all capitalists, and they absolutely want a profit. You ask them to borrow a penny, and they want to get 1,000 yuan in return from you.
Instead, banks just want to earn interest. Because it's so secure. For banks, it's just a matter of earning interest. The rest, it doesn't matter.
Of course, this also leads to the fact that if you don't have to do it, it will be difficult for the bank to borrow money.
Especially in recent years, the country's various policies have not been completely liberalized, and it is really difficult to borrow money. Therefore, venture capitalists can only be sought.
But for Qin Feng, it was different. Now I have a reputation, a project, a reputation, and a network. Then borrowing money, it's simple.
Afterwards, Qin Feng made a phone call to Director Geng, who was in charge of attracting investment from the Demon Capital Government, and told him about it.
"Mr. Qin, don't worry. This matter, it's easy to say. These portals are all in Beijing. You Kyushu portal network, willing to relocate to the magic capital, our government is very welcome!" Director Geng laughed.
"Alright, you'll visit this Director Geng tomorrow! he'll solve it!" Qin Feng said.
As for Qin Feng, he is still in class here. This is also a very rare learning opportunity for Qin Feng. Therefore, Qin Feng will not give up this opportunity to learn.
On the way to study, Shen Manli and Yi Hannuo came to visit the class with a well-prepared boxed lunch.
"Why are you here? I'm going to take a leave of absence and go play with you!" Qin Feng looked surprised.
"You're studying, why are we annoying you!" Shen Manli said with a smile, "Sister Nuonuo, I brought you a lot of delicious food." ”
"Hehe, it's better to be our family Nuo Nuo! uh, our family leader is better, well, I'd better eat!" Qin Feng hurriedly stuffed a mouthful of the donkey and rolled in.
"Hmph, tell me honestly, how could a beautiful girl come to you!" Shen Manli snorted.
Yi Hannuo also stared at Qin Feng with a suspicious expression.
