Chapter 806: Let's Go to NASDAQ to Ring the Bell
After Yang Wei made Ding Lei a cup of coffee and withdrew, Ding Lei crossed his fingers together and said with emotion: "This time I'm looking away again!"
Wu Tao knew what he meant, so he didn't break it: "It doesn't matter if you look away at my company, don't look away at your own company, otherwise it's a joke with investors' money." ”
"Hey, I listen to what you mean, is there something in the words?" Ding Lei is also a snake beater.
But Wu Tao was reluctant to say more.
After all, the other party is now in a different status and identity, and some words can only be pointed, and there is no intention to say more.
"Tell me about business, why did you come to me today? Don't tell me, you're idle!"
Ding Lei looked back at the busy workshop outside the glass wall, "I really didn't expect that this intranet model in the school really let you do it." Tell me, what is the scale of registered users now?"
"1 million!"
Ding Lei was shocked!
As a result, Wu Tao immediately smiled and said, "That's impossible." 500,000?"
Ding Lei was not fooled this time, and even guessed by inference, it seems that even 500,000 has not arrived, which is not too shocking.
Unexpectedly, Wu Tao followed the conversation, "It is estimated that by Christmas, it will be almost." ”
"Huh?" Ding Lei's heart suddenly flashed back, "Can the registration scale reach 500,000 by Christmas?"
Wu Tao nodded, without the slightest smugness on his face, but said a little regretfully: "According to the current growth trend, it is conservatively estimated that it will be able to break through the 500,000 registered user mark by Christmas." But the follow-up growth is sluggish, and it's too difficult to make a new website!"
Ding Lei's heart was suddenly hurt by 10,000 points.
"Boss, what do you want to do in two or three months to reach 500,000 registered users? This is already very prominent, okay?"
Wu Tao looked suspicious, "Really, I don't read much, don't lie to me." ”
Ding Lei almost wanted to scold his mother madly.
"Boss, do you know that Lao Zhang's Sohu, a few months earlier than you, has reached a daily IP traffic? less than 100,000!"
“…… And my NetEase mailbox, which has been launched for more than a year, and now how many users there are, do you know? less than 200,000!"
"So little?" Wu Tao was a little confused, in this impression, most of the registered bloggers were in tens of millions, he thought that 500,000 was really nothing, just a drizzle.
Ding Lei knocked on the table and said bitterly: "Boss, it's a good thing that you set a high goal." However, it is also necessary to take into account the current situation of Internet users in China, the base is so small, and if you want to break through, you have to wait for the conditions to mature. ”
That's just as well.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Lei changed his words and said: "However, the growth of user scale is only the first step. The next step is how to create benefits. To put it bluntly, it's profitable ......"
At this moment, Qiu Wuyan knocked on the office door, and then pushed it open and said, "Boss, good news." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Ding Lei, and there was no follow-up.
Wu Tao waved his hand, "It's okay, you just say that Mr. Ding is not an outsider." ”
Qiu Wuyan walked in and said beautifully: "That's right, boss, just now I talked to Yuanqi Technology about an advertising business, and they plan to use our intranet platform to advertise Lotus MP3 players." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ding Lei said with a look of understanding: "Boss, you are a field where fat water does not flow to outsiders!"
Wu Tao glanced at him, and asked Qiu Wuyan directly: "How much money did you talk about?"
"That's right, at my suggestion, they chose an annual contract, 100,000 yuan a year!"
"It's only 100,000?" Wu Tao was really shocked and said: "I said Mr. Qiu, you are letting the family take advantage of it! No, I will call Zixia immediately." ”
Ding Lei can be regarded as knowledgeable, they are all his own enterprises, and his left hand is down to his right hand, and he still thinks that he has less money.
It is said that with the current scale of the school intranet, the banner advertisement on the homepage of the website is not a lot of 100,000 yuan a year. After all, NetEase's banner advertisements back then were less than 10,000 yuan.
Seeing that Wu Tao was about to call, Qiu Wuyan hurriedly begged: "Boss, I have negotiated with Mr. Xiao, can you give me a face......
"That is, Zixia is not an outsider. Why do you want to be more serious with her?" Ding Lei also persuaded.
Wu Tao picked up the phone and put it down again, saying the same thing. waved his hand to let Qiu Wuyan go out first, turned around and said to Ding Lei angrily: "Are you particularly jealous when you see that my Tianjing Company is so enterprising? ”
Ding Lei said with a wronged posture: "Boss, I was stimulated today, okay? You will have 500,000 registrations and 100,000 advertising fees, which is simply incomparable!"
"Alright, get down to business, lest the longer you sit, the more exciting it will be. ”
"Okay, good!" Ding Lei took a sip of dry coffee and said: "That's the case, I have already discussed it with Vice President Xue, and I hope I can invite you to go to the NASDAQ to ring the bell together!"
It turned out to be this, no wonder the other party came over for a trip.
Wu Tao asked, "When?"
"1/29/99. ”
"Then I won't go!" Wu Tao shook his head, "First, I may not have time, after all, it is so close to the roots of the year, and second, even if I have time, I can't steal the limelight from you." Let Jia Qian come to the stage on my behalf!"
"Boss, are you really not going to go to such a good opportunity?" Ding Lei didn't expect this kindness to be rejected by Wu Tao, and asked with a look of disbelief.
Wu Tao glared, "Do I lack your opportunity to ring the bell once or twice?"
When asked like this, Ding Lei nodded with a bitter face, and said the same. Whether it is Tianxing Game Company or Tianjing Internet Technology, they are all potential stocks, and there is no problem in preparing for listing.
"But boss, have you ever thought that NetEase is the first Internet company in China to be listed on the territory of Laomei?"
It seems to make a lot of sense.
Wu Tao turned around and pondered again, "Okay, I'll try to be there then." However, the opportunity to come to power is still left to Jiaqian. ”
Seeing that the other party did not accept this kindness, Ding Lei was very disappointed.
In addition to being disappointed, he couldn't help but turn his mind and asked: "Boss, if NetEase and Tianjing Company have a strategic cooperation agreement, how about we join forces and communicate with each other?"
Wu Tao looked vigilant, "You also want to start a blog?"
Well, it's suspected that you're too much on the pole. Ding Lei hurriedly explained: "Actually, to be honest, boss, I, Lao Zhang, and many people in the industry are generally not optimistic about your school intranet. In the short term, they won't follow suit. ”
"That's for the best. Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Ding Lei with a wronged expression, and was a little reluctant, so he reminded nonchalantly: "Lao Ding, listing is not the end, but the starting point." You can't relax the burden on your shoulders, no matter what the situation is after NetEase goes public, you have to be down-to-earth. ”
“…… After all, the Internet bubble exists considerably, don't wait for the bubble to burst before you find yourself in the fruit swimming ......"
