Chapter 131: The Birth of Xinlang, Wang Zhidong's Strategy
Putting down the phone, Zhou Xuan thought of the three major portals in 98, Wangyi and Whoosh Fox have already appeared, and Xinlang is also fast.
That is, in September, under the facilitation of Mao Daolin of Huadeng International, Batong Lifang merged with Huayuan.com, a Chinese website in the United States, with a valuation of 30 million US dollars, which was the largest portal in China in the future, Xinlang.
Zhou Xuan remembered that Xinlang's domain name was registered on September 17, which means that it was less than a month before their merger. I don't know what it looked like when Wang Zhidong found out that the new domain name they had worked so hard to come up with was actually registered?
You must know that the Chinese name Xinlang was still thought up by Wang Zhidong. If Zhou Xuan's asking price is too high, whether Xinlang will become a wave, this Zhou Xuan does not know.
However, Zhou Xuan knew that he needed to grasp a degree this time, otherwise it would be possible to change the name of the first portal in the future.
What Zhou Xuan didn't know was that in the distant US imperialism, Wang Zhidong, the CEO of Batong Lifang, was saying to his subordinates, "Xinlang." β
"Xinlang, Xinlang, Xinlang...... sinaγsinaβ¦β¦β
Wang Zhidong read it several times in a row, and the more he read it, the more he felt that it was smooth, and the more he read it, the more he liked it.
"Xinlang represents a new era, new opportunities, and a new wave. There is the latest information, there is the latest content, Xinlang represents the latest wave of the Internet. Xinlang is the top of the new wave. β
"Okay, sina, it's called Xinlang!" Wang Zhidong made a final decision, looked around after speaking, and said to everyone.
"From then on, we are Xinlang people! We strive for Xinlang!"
"Xinlang people, new wave!"
"We are Xinlang people!"
"Come on!Xinlang!Come on!Xinlang people!"
Several subordinates gave Wang Zhidong and Xinlang warm applause, and they also felt that the name was too good.
After a while, Wang Zhidong waved his hand to calm everyone down, and then commanded.
"Xiao Wang, you will register Xinlang's domain name immediately. Don't let go of mainstream suffixes such as cn, .cn, .cn, etc. Also, don't let go of Xinlang's full spelling. β
Xiao Wang happily agreed: "Okay, I promise to complete the task." β
In Xiao Wang's view, at this time, the Internet in Huaxia has just begun, and no one will notice the value of domain names. Therefore, the domain name of the future portal - "Xinlang", which was just determined in the morning, has definitely not been registered.
But just when Wang Zhidong was drinking coffee, thinking about waiting for the matter on the side of the US imperialism to be finished, he immediately returned to China to prepare for the debut of Xinlang portal.
Xiao Wang, who was going through the website of the domain name service provider, was registering a domain name, but the beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping. After several searches, Xiao Wang said to himself in disbelief: "How is it possible?"
The domain names of Xinlang and Sina were registered.
The cn domain names of Xinlang and Sina have also been registered.
Xinlang, sina's spelling domain name, also registered.
Xinlang, Sina's full spelling cn domain name, also registered.
The suffix has not been spared.
What shocked Xiao Wang the most was that these domain names were all registered by the same person. And that person registered on the day of January at the beginning of the year, and at that time, no one knew that Batong Lifang and Huayuan.com would merge. It is even more impossible to know that after a day of discussion, the final portal is called sina, and the Chinese name "Xinlang" is what Wang Zhidong just came up with.
Is this a coincidence? Or is there a ghost?
Thinking of this, Xiao Wang, a person with a higher university education, suddenly felt a little chilly on his back.
After half an hour, Xiao Wang felt that this matter should be reacted to by Wang Zhidong as soon as possible, after all, this matter is really weird.
When Wang Zhidong was drinking coffee and heard the news from Xiao Wang, Wang Zhidong's first reaction was not to believe it.
"How is it possible? The name I just came up with was actually registered in January, and it is still a full set. Wang Zhidong is very aware of the current situation in Huaxia, the Internet has just developed, how can it be so coincidental that his domain name has been registered.
As a last resort, Wang Zhidong could only check it on Xiao Wang's computer himself, and then he really believed it.
Rubbing his head, Wang Zhidong said to Xiao Wang: "You call the owner of this domain name, and say that we want to buy Xinlang's domain name." β
"How much does it cost?" asked Xiao Wang.
"50,000 yuan, up to 100,000 yuan. Wang Zhidong thought that the current domain name registration price is almost 400 yuan a year, and this domain name holder holds a total of ten domain names related to Xinlang, which is almost a few thousand yuan.
When Zhou Xuan received Xiao Wang's call, it was 8:50 the next morning, and Zhou Xuan was working in the office at this time.
After receiving an international call, Zhou Xuan subconsciously thought that he was a liar, but after thinking about it, the scammer would not make an international call at this time.
"Hey, that one?"
"Hello, are you the owner of the s-i-n-a dot domain name?"
The voice from over there shocked Zhou Xuan's heart, "Isn't there still a month before Xinlang comes out?"
In an instant, Xinlang's early birth made Zhou Xuan have a lot of uncertainty about the future, and he became more and more cautious in his heart.
The conversation that followed naturally ended with Zhou Xuan's asking price being too high, and Zhou Xuan asked for $5 million. This price goes straight to Skyrim, which is a full ten times more than the last time the Whoosh Fox domain name.
When Xiao Wang reported Zhou Xuan's offer to Wang Zhidong, Wang Zhidong felt that Zhou Xuan was crazy, and he was simply crazy about money.
In Wang Zhidong's heart, Zhou Xuan is a person who takes advantage of the fire to rob. But thinking that the name Xinlang is good, my heart seems to be enchanted, and I must get it before I stop.
Therefore, Wang Zhidong thought about it for a few minutes, and still gave a price, that is, 100,000 US dollars, if Zhou Xuan still didn't agree, then there was really no way to talk about it.
100,000 US dollars, of course, could not satisfy Zhou Xuan, he wanted Xinlang's shares. Therefore, Xiao Wang and Zhou Xuan's second call hung up in just two minutes.
Zhou Xuan's resoluteness made Wang Zhidong completely confused, and then decided to dry Zhou Xuan.
"Well, call him in five days, we're not in a hurry anyway. It's about making an attitude about whether we want or don't want this domain name. Wang Zhidong said to Xiao Wang.
"Okay, then I won't contact him for a few days. Maybe he can't stay up and call?" Xiao Wang guessed.
Wang Zhidong sneered and said, "Then we don't want a domain name, and we have already thought about using other domain names." In that case, he will cry and shout to sell us the domain name. β
Wang Zhidong's thoughts, Zhou Xuan guessed later when he didn't receive the call.
However, Zhou Xuan, who knows the importance of Xinlang, has never doubted the inertia of history, and Wang Zhidong will definitely call him again.
This Zhou Xuan is very unsure!
It's going to be eleven soon, and eleven is getting married. I wish you all a happy holiday.
