In 2000, not to mention the spread of the information network era in the world, even in China, what is the concept of instant messaging, probably after a long time, no one can define it, only know that it must be the memory of many people for a whole era.

It's a period when I call you "Dancing and Flying" and you call you "riffraff", so you can talk from online to offline with your heart.

During that period, there was a very famous saying called "you never know if there is a dog on the other side of the computer", which is also the earliest source of the development of the term "meet netizens". The literary point is that you take a magazine, I take a bottle of Coke, place McDonald's or KFC, and then find a garden, and meet Ai Ai. The ordinary point is what clothes you wear and what clothes I wear, everyone meets to meet the novelty and chat, maybe they can become friends for a long time, and what I remember is also the purity of the interaction between people, in short, the field is very simple. The unrestrained is the direct hotel, the express hotel, the rain and clouds, and the restless raft body of many people is also placed.

The initial period of the vigorous "meeting netizens" on the land of this period is the ecology that the Internet brought about at the beginning of the impact on people, which also derived a word called "dinosaur".

Accidents are always everywhere, every year, from time to time, at that time it is not a coincidence, as long as a signal, pager or phone rings in time, look at the message or answer a call, it is often a "catastrophe".

My classmate was hit by a car, my house was earthquaked, my wife was about to give birth, and my dormitory was on fire......

At this time, most of them were the sentence of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", "Who dares to be worse than me?"

Of course, this is really an era when you can really understand each other's life and hearts after a careful "hello" to strangers. In the future, this naivety and innocence, like this period, will return to the surging world.

There is no doubt that the phenomenon brought about by CQ's rapid progress is affecting many people at the moment, and some things have changed from quantity to quality, and Cheng Ran seems to be the same, after CQ's first million has reached, the number of users in the future has exceeded the previous order of magnitude, showing shorter cycles and faster characteristics, so that the CQ team that has personally experienced and participated in it will go from excitement to numbness.

The first 100,000 people registered for the breakthrough, the first million people registered for the breakthrough, to the back of the calculation of this is no longer meaningful, the number of daily registrations has become an expectation point within CQ, and when the number of daily registrations begins to reach 100,000, it will inevitably make people look back on the past and intuitively feel the strength and speed of growth.

Therefore, the people in the dormitory will be excited to find a bug in CQ, which to a certain extent also shows that this thing is known enough to form a deep and consensus foundation in people's hearts.

But what surprised Cheng Ran, and even differed from his previous life, was that so far, except for one or two funds that came to the door, and the valuation given was extremely low, only millions of dollars, no one was willing to come to buy CQ's shares.

With the current scale of CQ's development, if it had to rely entirely on external investors, I am afraid it would not be able to support it now. Cheng Ran felt that this phenomenon was very strange, and the original form of the previous life could always get financing before the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and then struggled tenaciously to survive and develop. And why don't you have such good luck in other words?

There may be reasons for not taking the initiative to sniff into the capital market, but this is not the main thing, with the current popularity of CQ, it is a lighthouse, and the argument that there is no active access to capital and no one intends to buy stocks is obviously untenable.

So the rest may be the capital circle, not optimistic about the future of CQ at all? Is there a potential opponent who creates public opinion to lead the way, or is it thrilled by the NASDAQ fire, which leads to timidity?

However, it is also true that the current CQ profit model in addition to the Avatar plan CQ coin issuance, CQ software is banner advertising may be able to earn a little money, depending on the scale of the content, CQ advertising costs are 20,000 to 90,000 yuan per day, which is very low compared with the current price of portals such as Tonglang.com.

During this period, Internet companies had a practice of advertising each other, and privately discussed, how much I invest in you, and you also invest some in me, so that you can make a book, to put it bluntly, it is a joint effort to show investors, which is not uncommon in the Internet era of burning money.

With the cold snap of the Internet, CQ's advertising business is also shrinking, which is also the ebb and flow that most Internet companies are suffering. The return on CQ's investment in the game field has also made some Internet companies see the lottery, so some companies have begun to build game businesses, and the process of introducing some foreign online games to China is also accelerating. However, Lingyu still firmly occupies the first place in the market in a way that subverts the traditional MUD, and also provides a large amount of cash guarantee for CQ, so that CQ can expand its territory without avoiding server and labor costs, and Cheng Ran has no logistical worries.

Of course, all kinds of public opinion and official activities that arise because of influence on this are all blocked by Li Mingshi, so from the outside, Li Mingshi is the chief CEO of CQ and the incarnation of CQ, of course, if something goes wrong, he is naturally scolded by others.

CQ's user volume growth, one of the benefits is that the number of users of the Lianzhong game platform that has opened up channels with CQ is also increasing day by day, and the number of active users is also quite vigorous, unlike large-scale online games, the rules of chess and card games are fixed, there is no technical threshold, players and QQ users are highly overlapped, there is no upgrade trouble of online games, and the casual game group is also expanding rapidly. Lianzhong is already the leader of casual games, and there are no competitors, although there are small websites like winger games in the south, which is not a problem for Lianzhong, and life is still quite comfortable.

Coupled with the previous shareholding of Ali, Cheng Qi is now famous, and his name can often be seen in some related magazines, and now it is said that he doesn't have much classes at the university, but in private, the school has actually acquiesced to him to open the book to take the make-up exam, and finally get a graduation certificate with all passing grades.

And Cheng Qi's name is also very famous in the circle of friends of relatives in Shanhai, and I don't know how many families are ready to introduce their own girls. At the same time, compared with CQ's unattended, Lianzhong is very favored by capital, Cheng Qi has been in contact with a number of companies, including the background of the national character, Cheng Qi painted a voice and told him that people invited him to come to the door, the place is called a magnificent, located in a building with excellent terrain in the capital, you can see the profound heritage everywhere, and the key price is not cheap.

Cheng Ran said that Lianzhong is actually not short of money, and there is no need for a large amount of money. Second, if the other party's share ratio is not high, no more than 3%, and the shares do not have decision-making power, then there is no problem in letting the other party come in and occupy some shares. As a result, the matter fell through, and it was stuck in the final decision-making seat. The other party probably also thinks that the Internet winter, this investment that did not obtain the decision-making seat of Lianzhong is not cost-effective, and the last step ended without a problem.

After that, Cheng Qi also asked Cheng Ran several times, and the willingness of many parties to contact him for investment was very strong, and the money was very rich, so he was not allowed to come in? Cheng Qi always seemed a little unable to sit still, but despite this, in the end, he also responded to Cheng Ran's opinion, and most of them did not move, so Lianzhong's shares have not been diluted.

Cheng Ran knows that it is impossible to pinch the shares of Lianzhong forever, sometimes the success of a company, in addition to doing a conscientious job in the industry, to a certain extent, it is also necessary to surround the icing on the cake around the periphery, when will Cheng Ran divide the stocks, now there is no shortage of money, money is not the most important, it is some necessary checkpoints on the way forward, such as enterprises with special backgrounds, investment or technology shareholders with future value, can help smooth out the market, policy, public opinion and propaganda problems, Cheng Ran is willing to share shares.

Otherwise, Cheng Ran is of course willing to close the door almost inconceivably in the eyes of the outside world, cherish his own profits and losses, and no matter how rich the capital is, he can't pry open this door.

However, this approach has also given rise to a lot of speculation from the outside world, including some people saying that Cheng Qi wants to build an independent kingdom.

Even in a magazine that likes to depict commercial things in a bloody and eye-catching way, Cheng Qi's photo was put up, and then followed by a sensational headline - "Youth achievements are famous, the iron-fisted territory of 'Lianzhong Tsar' Cheng Qi!"

The opening content is a suspenseful and imposing progressive statement, "Some people say that he has become famous as a teenager and has been named a prodigy, and some people envy him for competing for the Internet at a young age, creating a precedent for Chinese casual chess and card games, and now he is even more vertical and horizontal, teaming up with CQ to get user diversion, and occupying 80% of the casual chess and card games in one fell swoop, so that latecomers in the field can only rely on his snort to survive......"

"Cheng Qi's Lianzhong is a lion-like existence......"

"What's even more unbelievable is that at a young age, he has an ordinary family, he has repeatedly rejected the temptation of high-priced acquisitions by American capital, and has been able to spend tens of millions of dollars to invest in the e-commerce website Alibaba......

When Cheng Ran called Cheng Qi, Cheng Qi also said, "This magazine said interviews, and I gave them photos at that time, how about it, handsome or not, my mother is quite satisfied with it...... It's just too exaggerated, strategic ambitions and ambitions, I don't even know what ambitions I have, and some of the above are written and I blush when I look at myself, hahaha......"

Moving the microphone next to his ear a few inches, Cheng Ran looked down at the magazine again, listening to the undisguised laughter in the microphone, thinking to himself how this person became the "Tsar"?
