Chapter 281: Friends of Time in Development
For several days in a row, Zhou Shi participated in the symposium, and he basically did not speak. Lu He said a lot, such as the crisis is not over, and Liangfang, AIG and Citibank may all be finished.
"And what about Lehman Brothers? You're not ......," quipped, apparently unconvinced.
"We will push him to bankrupt!" Lu He Zhengse said, if a Wall Street company wants to rise, it will inevitably encounter countless opponents in the middle, and only by defeating the other party can it truly establish its authority. A company that can't fight and doesn't dare to fight, no matter how much money it makes, it's just a fat pig. Wall Street hollow John Paulson was such a fat pig, as evidenced by his subsequent failures. For a giant like Goldman Sachs, a few failures will not affect their development at all. Even a lone predator like Soros can withstand a fiasco, and a company's combat capability can never be missing, just like a country cannot lack blood.
"Hehehe......" Even if it is such a formal occasion, everyone does not believe it.
Lu He doesn't care, the more he is suppressed now, the more profound the slap in the face will be in the future, and the result is that he believes them very much, and some people who feel embarrassed may be angry with Zhou Shi and Lu He of Galaxy Capital.
The opening ceremony is still the opening ceremony, Xiao Bu died also participated in this grand ceremony, and unexpectedly mentioned the Dark Knight and Zhou Shi who have been screened recently, reality and movies complement each other, and his fame finally rushed to the sky, and began to communicate and meet with leaders and dignitaries of various countries.
In the Forbes Global Rich List in March this year, although Zhou Shi was on the list, he was still ranked in the hundreds, and their assets were only about $3 billion, and not many people cared about it at all. Although in this turmoil, some people found that Zhou Shi's wealth was wrong, but no one would help him brag about it, saying that he had made tens of billions of soft girl coins by trading stocks. Zhou Shi didn't care about these fames, so he didn't emphasize them. The status of the domestic Internet industry in the national economy is not high at all, not to mention that it can be ignored, at least compared with industries such as steel, it does not have much influence.
Zhou Shi is not such a good social person, and he can't stand it in a few days on this occasion. Returning to Time Company, Huang Huainan went to Yangcheng, and Time Premium was also established there, and the start was not bad.
"Has the address of our headquarters been decided?" Zhou Shi asked Lei Jun
"Not yet, but recently they've given us a few places to choose from. "Lei Jun
"Where are they?" Regarding the choice of headquarters, it would definitely not work without his nod.
Lei Jun asked people to take out a few maps and pointed out a few locations for Zhou Shi. Zhou Shi suddenly saw a familiar place without a name.
"Is it sold here?" Zhou Shi asked curiously
"I'll take a look, it's good here, but the area is too big, and they have a plan!" Lei Jun quickly gave an answer.
The place chosen by Zhou Shi is a large open space opposite Rongke Olive City, which is the future Wangjing SOHO, if you have the opportunity, why let it go.
"It's good that the area is large, the development of the friend network needs more allies, and we can turn this place into an Internet business park. What's more, friends don't have to worry about the problem of funds, we will develop it first, and we will talk about the property rights later. "Zhou Shi
"Well, since you are such a tyrant, then I have nothing to say. "Lei Jun
"We always have to show our strength, otherwise any cat or dog will dare to show their teeth and claws at us. "Zhou Shi
"The penguin thing has been arranged, but there have been too many hot events recently, and we are not in a hurry. "Lei Jun
"Well, it's good that you know what to do. If there is no good way, let the friends network merge with the time game. Zhou Shi said casually that in Zhou Shi's opinion, the profitability of the friend network is not very good, and the main source is advertising and game sharing plus virtual value-added services. The monthly revenue has not yet reached 100 million, and the net profit is even less.
The farm vegetable stealing activity, which is now popular all over the world, has given a huge amount of traffic and turnover to the friend network. The number of real-name registered users of Friends.com has exceeded 200 million, and it is an exaggeration that the monthly active data and registered users have maintained a high degree of unity, reaching 190 million. According to CNNIC data, as of June 30, 2008, the total number of Internet users in China reached 253 million, that is, four-fifths of Internet users are using the services of Friends.com.
Penguin's market capitalization of less than $5 billion is another proof of the success of Friends.com. Friends without a web portal, advertising revenue surpasses that of Penguin, perhaps as proof.
The development of the happy network and the school intranet is also good, although there is too much overlap between the user group and the friend network, but there are always some who like to try it. And for the sake of competition, the happy network and the intranet of the school appear more vulgar. Especially now that the Internet environment is relatively open, a lot of violent # force, fear # horror, blood # blood, and erotic # erotic content are very proliferating on these two websites, and all kinds of pirated films, television, and music works are frantically shared on them. Moreover, their real-name authentication is not as strict as the requirements of Friends.com, and their control of content is not as experienced as that of Friends.com. Even the popularity of Happy Farm has not suppressed the development of these two websites, each of which has more than 50 million users. Compared with the development speed of the friend network at the beginning, it is much faster. Moreover, Friends encourages everyone to report false and untrue information, and Friends will punish those who spread false information and official accounts. For this reason, there is an idea of an information push (which can be seen as a simple credit rating) level within the friend network. People with high levels will get their personal news pushed by the friend network as soon as possible, and people with low levels will hardly have the opportunity to let others see them, except for those who follow him. And even those who follow him have a good chance of missing out on this information.
The development of other products under Time is also very good, such as Time Music. Although it does not focus on niche routes, the development path of social music is more suitable for Time, and due to the purchase of a lot of formal copyrights, the sound quality of Time Music has always been the best in China. However, because only members can download it, and there are random ads for non-members, Time Music also occupies the third position in the domestic music software market.
Time Labs has been a huge help in the development of Android, accounting for half of the world's developers, with 20 percent developers in the lab in Bangalore, India, and 30 percent in Silicon Valley. However, in terms of expenses, Time Labs in Silicon Valley accounts for 50% of the expenses. Fortunately, in addition to the cash support of Time Games, Time Browser is basically self-sufficient. Although open source and encouraging people to make their own improvements, the crazy pace of updates has caused most companies to give up on their efforts. Most of the apes and browsers have also received a lot of help from various aspects of technology, and have been greatly improved, and their performance on mobile is getting better and better. Yu Yongfu also had a new view on the future development, and took this opportunity to find Zhou Shi.
