In fact, Lin Cheng has long found that it is difficult for him to completely monopolize an industry in China, but the Internet industry that has entered the cold winter has made him see an opportunity.

The so-called crisis is only organic when there is a crisis, and only when there is an industry-wide crisis, is it most likely that a monopoly of the whole industry will emerge.

At this time, the Internet industry, affected by the collapse of the NASDAQ stock market, entered the Internet winter, batch after batch of Internet companies have gone bankrupt and closed down, and countless investors have changed color when they heard the Internet, and have withdrawn from this monstrous pit.

But as Warren Buffett said: when the tide goes out, you don't know who's swimming naked.

It is the existence of the Internet winter, Internet companies will go to the chaff, those companies that can survive the Internet winter, the future generations are all famous existence, such as Alibaba, Penguin, Baidu, Sina, NetEase, Sohu, out of the Internet winter, these companies dominated the Internet industry in the 00s.

It is also the existence of the Internet winter, at this time, all Internet companies are eager for the emergence of angel investors, that is, as long as you take out real money to invest money in the company, let him kneel and call Dad, he will be willing.

From March to June, BF Investment Company invested $200 million and won 30% of Sina's shares, 25% of Sohu and 28% of NetEase.

Li Muzhen's investment of 200 million US dollars is undoubtedly a feat in the Internet industry in the cold winter, which immediately makes many Internet companies regard BF investment as a savior, and they are all eagerly looking forward to being favored by Li Muzhen, the "Queen of the Internet", and become the next investment object of BF Investment Company

……

The Internet winter is a great opportunity for Lin Cheng to monopolize the Internet industry, but Lin Cheng also made an obvious mistake, because he has invested in Google of the US imperialists, Lin Cheng is worried that his investment in Baidu will anger Larry Page and Sergei Brin if Google knows it, so Lin Cheng did not woo Li Yanhong in the US imperialism, causing him to miss the establishment of Baidu.

Later, Lin Cheng thought about it carefully, he was really stupid, as long as he registered a vest venture capital company in China, Larry Page and Sergei Brin knew that the boss behind this vest company was himself!

Baidu was founded on New Year's Day in 2000 in the original time and space, and this life has not changed.

In addition to BF Investment Company, Lin Cheng also created a venture capital company called Little Bird Capital in China, and won a 20% stake in Baidu at a cost of $20 billion in Baidu's first round of financing in February this year.

Of course, this is not that Lin Cheng is unwilling to invest more money to acquire more shares, but that Li Yanhong and other venture capital companies are not happy, so they only sell 20% of the shares to Little Bird Investment at most.

However, Lin Cheng has already explained to Xu Xin, the president of Little Bird Investment, and told her to keep a firm eye on each round of financing of Baidu, try to fight for more shares, and become the largest shareholder of Baidu.

Some readers may ask, who is this Xu Xin? Can he actually get Lin Cheng's blue eyes and become the president of Little Bird Investment?

To get Lin Cheng's blue eyes, there is no doubt that Xu Xin is a big bull in later generations, Lin Cheng used the name of today's capital, in the original time and space, it was the venture capital company founded by Xu Xin, in the Internet industry in later generations, Xu Xin also has a more awesome title - "Queen of Venture Capital".

Today's capital in the original time and space, everyone should know that the biggest achievement is investing in JD.com, and Xu Xin has also become famous because of his identity as an investor in JD.com and has become a legendary queen in the venture capital industry.

Xu Xin's investment philosophy is "find a potential company that can become the king in a certain field, make a big bet, and make him the boss!", and he can also make a lot of money.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Jingdong, who is short and fat, does not look good, and lives like a fat and round person, but he is a potential king that Xu Xin admires with a unique eye.

In 2007, Xu Xin invested $10 million in JD.com in Series A, and then increased his investment. After JD.com's listing, Today's Capital holds 7.8% of the shares, and the original investment of 18 million US dollars has been worth more than 2.6 billion US dollars, with a return on investment of more than 150 times and a book profit of more than 10 billion yuan.

Prior to that, Xu Xin co-founded Bullying Investments with a group of investors in Xiangjiang, and when she was the executive director of Bullying Investments, she invested in NetEase's Ding Lei, which achieved an 800% return on investment for the company.

However, before Lin Cheng poached Xu Xin from Bullying Investment, Xu Xin's life was not easy, NetEase was listed on the NASDAQ, and the stock price skyrocketed from 5 yuan to 30 yuan.

However, the outbreak of the NASDAQ bubble crisis caused NetEase's stock price to fall from 30 yuan to 1 yuan, causing the shareholders of Bullying Investment to be extremely dissatisfied with Xu Xin, so Lin Cheng took the opportunity to dig Xu Xin into Little Bird Investment and gave her 5% of the shares, as well as unconditional trust.

At this time, Lin Cheng was the richest man in the world, and the great trust of the world's richest man was undoubtedly a relief for Xu Xin, who was questioned at this time, so Xu Xin did not hesitate to bully investment, and immediately jumped to Little Bird Investment as president.

For the development of Little Bird Investment, Lin Cheng naturally has a clear plan, BF Investment has invested in the old Alibaba, Penguin, Kingsoft, Sina, Sohu, NetEase, Little Bird Investment is naturally investing in the rising stars Baidu, JD.com, Xiaomi, Didi Travel, Meituan, Toutiao.

The Internet companies of later generations are likely to be divided into two factions by Lin Cheng, the big boss behind the scenes, one is the BF department and the other is the bird system.

Li Muzhen, the "Internet Queen", and Xu Xin, the "Venture Capital Queen", are estimated to be each other's "lifelong enemies" of the Internet industry.

When the two major factions fought for the crown in the future, Lin Cheng, who was hiding behind the scenes, felt that he was fighting with his left hand and his right hand, practicing the technique of fighting left and right, which was quite interesting to think about.

The fact that the Internet tycoons and real estate bosses of later generations were able to be equally divided on the Hurun list in China and dominate the rich list shows that the Internet industry is not inferior to the real estate industry, and the market value of Internet companies is much higher than that of real estate companies because of their listing and financing.

If the Internet industry finally forms a situation in which the BF system and the small bird system fight each other, this undoubtedly means that the domestic Internet industry has been dominated by Lin Cheng, and Lin Cheng has become the hegemon of China's Internet industry, and his dream of establishing a monopoly consortium can be regarded as being realized.

At that time, the wealth of the Lin consortium should not be weaker than some large consortia in Europe, the United States and Japan, and the Lin consortium is also qualified to compete with the European, American and Japanese consortia and become one of the big black men behind the world domination.
