Ding Sanshi was very depressed.

He made a cloud space, and Qin Feng followed.

He wrote an advertorial, accusing the cloud space of being too big and useless. As a result, Qin Feng also wrote an article, saying that it was useful.

This made Ding Sanshi very angry.

Qin Feng, this guy, is too much of a bully.

"Mr. Ding, what should we do?" the crowd asked.

Obviously, they got out of the cloud space first, but it turned out to be good, but they were picked by Qin Feng instead.

Originally, they were counting on the cloud space to attract office white-collar workers to use MSN.

That way, when the group grows and MSN usage goes up, they can get the next batch of funding from Microsoft.

This time, Microsoft raised $100 million upfront and got a 40% stake.

There is only one condition, the number of MSN users in China will reach 1 million.

If it can reach 1 million, then Microsoft will raise another $500 million to help it increase the number of MSN users to more than 10 million. Moreover, the $500 million is counted as a loan, not as a share-based financing.

In other words, as long as the number of users can eventually reach 10 million, then Microsoft's $500 million will only need to be repaid by the company in the future, and Ding Sanshi will not need to take out his personal shares for financing.

This is naturally a very lucrative condition.

But only if they reach 1 million users.

If not, there is no follow-up financing plan of $500 million. Moreover, Microsoft's 40% equity financing plan has one additional condition. That's $100 million burned out, if it doesn't reach $1 million.

Then, 40% equity will automatically become 50% + 1 share.

In other words, Microsoft will have a controlling stake.

Now the money is more than $20 million less. There is still a lot of money to burn.

But the problem is that the number of MSN users online every day is only tens of thousands.

Well, that's too much of a problem.

Tens of thousands, to 1 million, is difficult.

Tens of millions may not be able to burn out.

What to do?

"Mr. Ding, do you want to follow suit?" everyone proposed.

Ding Sanshi thought about it and refused directly.

If you want to follow the trend, you should follow, and now you should follow the trend, it will seem too stupid. This serves no purpose other than proving that he is stupid.

This does not regain lost popularity.

But now we have to find a way to solve it, and we can't always do it like this.

Ding Sanshi pondered.

Cloud space, if it's cold. So how else does he attract white-collar workers to MSN?

According to Ding Sanshi's calculations, there may be more than millions of white-collar workers in the capital alone in the future. Counting the white-collar workers in the magic capital, Yangcheng, and other cities, the white-collar people in China combined, including those who may not be white-collar workers in the real sense, but at least sit in the office, there are at least one or two million people.

If we include civil servants, there are 30 or 40 million people to say the least.

These people should be MSN's loyal customer base. At the same time, this group of people is also the group with the most spending power. At that time, it should be very easy to monetize on this group of people.

Therefore, he carefully constructed the cloud space for them.

But now that he has been stirred up by Qin Feng like this, his cloud space has lost its selling point. But now he can't follow suit.

Otherwise, it would be stupid. It is not good for its own image, and at the same time, it is not good for the future development of the company.

If Wang Zhidong has been following the trend, anyway, the outside world is used to it, so it doesn't matter.

If he chooses to follow the trend, he will degenerate into a commodity with Wang Zhidong all the way. That's not a good thing.

Therefore, he had to come up with a way to avoid being perceived by the outside world as falling into a product like Wang Zhidong, and at the same time attract popularity.

What should I do?Ding Sanshi frowned.

For a while, where is the way.

On Qin Feng's side, Jiang Yong came back after an inspection in the United States.

"Qin Feng, you're really awesome. After Jiang Yong came back, he looked at the current situation of the company, and he was quite a little crying and laughing.

Qin Feng is the major shareholder, but the management of the company has always been him. As a result, now Qin Feng is spending more than 20 million yuan in an extra month.

This makes Jiang Yong, who has always been economical, lives in economy class when he goes abroad, and lives in an ordinary hotel, saying that spending money like this is too luxurious.

I haven't seen the ability to monetize yet.

Of course, it feels very cool to be able to make Ding Sanshi deflated and make Wang Zhidong a follower.

"Okay, don't worry about this money. It's not like we don't make money. Qin Feng smiled and said, "As long as you are still making money, all the investment is worth it." ”

"That's too!" Jiang Yong smiled.

Before going abroad for investigation, Jiang Yong had to reason with Qin Feng for a long time.

After all, spending tens of millions of dollars is too painful.

But going abroad for an inspection was an eye-opener for him.

A real eye-opener.

In the past, the perception of the outside world came from the hearsay of others and the introduction of various magazines, but with the Internet, it is slightly more convenient. But no matter how you understand it, it's all itching in your boots, and you can't understand and experience it if you don't go in person.

This trip abroad has made him evolve a lot.

So, although I complained about it now, I didn't take it to heart.

"By the way, what company did you buy?" Qin Feng asked.

For future development, Qin Feng knows the general direction, but before he was reborn, that is, ordinary people, how could he remember so many things.

Therefore, Qin Feng is not very clear about which companies will rise in the future.

Therefore, Qin Feng also hopes to let Jiang Yong pass, and maybe there will be different opportunities.

"Well, there really is!" Jiang Yong nodded, "I have met some young people who have started businesses, and they are all very thoughtful. However, I really haven't bought any companies. ”

Qin Feng was slightly stunned.

"I think the best opportunity for the IT industry in the world right now is in Silicon Valley. And not Huaxia. Many aspects of Huaxia are still immature, so I just cooperated with some people and invested in some companies in the name of the company. But it did not get a controlling stake. Jiang Yong said, "After all, you also know that those entrepreneurs don't want the company to belong to someone else." They will sell their companies and cash out, but people will also leave. So, I invested in a couple of companies, but I didn't get a controlling stake. I decided to give them the freedom to do their own thing, and when the time comes, if it develops, we can make a profit. If it can't be developed, then forget it! Anyway, there is not much money. ”

Qin Feng smiled.

"That's a good idea too. After all, some talents are unwilling to be restrained!" Qin Feng grinned.

"Tell me, which companies?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

Jiang Yong smiled, then quoted the names of several companies, and at the same time took out the investment agreement signed by both parties.

"Look at it!" Jiang Yong put it in front of Qin Feng, "There are a total of seven companies, involving different fields. ”
