When it comes to the Internet industry, most people have the impression that it is the BAT three, and other Internet companies are more or less related to these three giants.

But in fact, before these three giants, there is a bull known as Internet entrepreneurship, this is Wang Xing, the founder of Meituan.

When it comes to Wang Xing, who does not know the history of the Internet, or the younger generation only knows one Meituan, only a few circles and some old netizens know that before Meituan, Wang Xing created two well-known companies in the Internet industry.

The school intranet, the overlord of social networking sites at this time, was made up by Wang Xing and three other companions when he was in school, but it was later sold to Thousand Oaks Group.

After the school intranet, Wang Xing also created two websites, one is Fanfu.com and the other is Hainai.com.

Su Wang didn't know about it, but when he was writing a novel and checking information in his previous life, he had learned about this website in detail and knew how awesome this website was.

Fanno.com, is a mini version of the blog, so many people may not know the Internet, but if you talk about the word Weibo, everyone will know.

Fanno.com is the earliest microblogging website with a certain scale and influence in China.

If it weren't for an incident in 09 that led to the closure of Fanno.com, in Su Wang's view, it would be a problem whether Sina Weibo was still there.

Therefore, when he recognized the other party as Wang Xing later, Su Wang's heart was still a little fluctuating, and the person in front of him was one of the first bigwigs in the future Internet industry that he came into contact with.

However, at this time, Wang Xing's focus is not on the rice network, but on the domestic network, which Su Wang can hear from the focus of Wang Xing's conversation at the dinner table.

"To be honest, if there was no Kaixin.com, Mr. Wang's domestic network would be the preferred investment target of our Carlyle Investment Bank, and even in the first month after the launch of Kaixin.com, we reached the first round of investment agreement with Mr. Wang. ”

Wang Kaige's words made Chen Binghao and Su Wang glance at each other, and they didn't notice this news.

Chen Binghao naturally paid attention to the domestic network, after all, it was a website created by the founder of the school intranet, Chen Binghao naturally did not dare to despise it, but because of the suppression of the domestic network by the Thousand Oaks Group, the number of users of the domestic network has not increased much, and when the number of happy network users exceeded 10 million, he did not take the domestic network to heart anymore.

"If there is no happy network of Mr. Chen and Mr. Su, I must want Mr. Wang's investment, after all, it was not my wish to sell the school intranet at the beginning, but I really can't bear it. ”

Wang Xing showed a wry smile on his face, it was his helpless move to sell the intranet, because the development trend of the intranet was very good at that time, but it was precisely because of the good development trend that with the increase of users, more servers were needed to support the operation of the website, but he couldn't get the money at that time.

In addition, the company was founded by several people, and Thousand Oaks Group offered a price of two million US dollars, and two partners were moved, and the company had to be sold if it was not sold.

"Because I was unwilling, I created the domestic network, and everyone can see that the name is to compete with the school network, but because of the emergence of the happy network, I have stopped fighting with the school network, and even Mr. Wang's first round of investment was persuaded by me to return. ”

Su Wang and Chen Binghao were a little surprised, and withdrawing Carlyle's investment would be equivalent to Wang Xing giving up the domestic network.

"The two of them must be very puzzled, but in fact, the reason why I did this is very simple, the current Internet environment in China, can accommodate two competitors of the same category, but definitely not the third, the school intranet and the two of them have accounted for 90% of the social networking site users, I will not help to stir up the situation. ”

Wang Xing is very calm, because he is telling the truth, if the domestic network wants to compete with the school network and the happy network, unless it is also the same as the happy network, there is some kind of miracle idea, but since it is a miracle, how can it be so easy to come up with.

If there is no excellent idea, it can only rely on hard power to compete, the school intranet has raised billions, and the happy network relies on the game of farm, and there is at least 100 million in cash on the account, what does he use to compete with others.

Well, even if a venture capital company like Carlyle is willing to invest money in him and is willing to throw billions at him, but how much does it cost him, I am afraid that the shares of the entire company will remain in his hands with only a small amount of management shares, which is equivalent to working for others completely.

And if he succeeds, if he fails, it will be difficult for him to get money in the hands of investment banks in the future, and no investment institutions will invest in him again, which will cut off his future development.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Wang Xing made such a decision.

"Mr. Wang can afford to put it down, which is really admirable, and I may not have made such a decision. Chen Binghao said sincerely.

"Actually, it's a helpless move, and now my whole focus is on the food network. ”

Wang Xing smiled slightly, while Wang Kaige sat next to him and didn't speak, Su Wang knew in his heart that Wang Xing's previous words were just foreshadowing, and now was the time for the real start of this dinner.

"I don't know what Mr. Chen and Mr. Su think of my rice network?"

"The idea of Fanfu is very good, and I think it is an innovation compared to blogging. Chen Binghao did not deliberately flatter, but just used the word "innovation" to describe it, because this kind of mini-blog is not popular with the market at present.

Hearing Chen Binghao's answer, Wang Xing was a little disappointed in his heart, if Chen Binghao didn't pay attention to his own food, then it would be difficult to continue the conversation later.

"The idea of Fanfu is very good, and I also believe that Fanfu will lead the trend in the future, and this kind of mini-blog has a huge potential market. ”

Su Wang spoke, but the slightly green voice made the expressions of the other three people present different, Wang Kaige was still very calm because it was none of his business.

Chen Binghao was surprised in his heart, he and Su Wang are partners, so he knows Su Wang, knows that Su Wang's talent is very high, especially his vision is extremely vicious, and many of the current development trajectories of Kaixin.com were proposed by Su Wang.

Since Su Wang can say such a thing, it means that Fanfu.com really has potential, is it because he has lost his eyes?

"Mr. Su really thinks so?"

Wang Xing's expression was a little excited, he had already learned from Wang Kaige's mouth that Su Wang, the founder of Kaixin.com, had a lot of shares in Kaixin.com, and he accounted for 50% of them like Chen Binghao, and he had a lot of say in Kaixin.com.

If Su Wang values his own rice network, then the next conversation will not be meaningless.

PS: No one guessed it, tsk tsk, I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day!
