Ding Lei's spirit is invigorated, 1%, and now Yahoo's market value is more than 12 billion US dollars, if you benchmark Yahoo, it is 100 million US dollars! Even if it is not US dollars, RMB is fine.

Ding Lei was very excited, looking at the meaning of IDG, it was really going to operate and list this portal that had not yet taken shape. If it can really be made into the largest portal in China, how can it be listed on the NASDAQ in 10 years, right? How much will the 1% stake in your hand be at that time?

In fact, Zhang Chen gave Ding Lei special preferential treatment, if according to the original incentive plan, by 20 years, these 7 and 8 level old employees will become tens of millions of dollars of wealth, and they are worthy of them.

But for Ding Lei, Zhang Chen still feels a little guilty, after all, if it weren't for himself, the other party would be worth more than 10 billion US dollars in the future. Now because of his own appearance, the other party has lost the opportunity to become the richest man, and it is estimated that he will not be able to raise pigs. Out of compensation, Zhang Chen still promised Ding Lei a point of equity.

Of course, this has to be done by Ding Lei himself. Some people are suitable to be employees, but not to be bosses. And some people, who are naturally suited to be bosses, are not good employees. It depends on Ding Lei's own creation.

Moreover, in this life, even if Ding Lei starts a business again, he may not have the glory of his previous life.

Zhang Chen's money-burning style after his rebirth has virtually raised the threshold for Internet entrepreneurship. Later, it will be too difficult for people to enter the field of portals.

Even in 99, Brother Xiao Ma could still make Teng Xun with the 500,000 yuan he earned from stock speculation, and Chen Tianqiao could also make Shengda with 500,000 yuan. Even if the portal burns more money, it is now 96 years, and the start-up capital of 500,000 is enough. Later, the computer newspaper launched the Skyline Network, until 2,000 years later, it was raised to 2 million US dollars, and only 560,000 yuan was invested before.

Zhang Chen's investment of 15 million yuan in the past three years can be said to be shocking now, after all, the domestic Internet is still in its infancy, and it is not even one thousandth of the market in the United States.

But if at this stage, invest a lot of money and occupy the Internet entrance first, and the benefits in the future will not only be portals.

With the help of portals, the layout of search, e-commerce, social networking, payment, and even mobile Internet in ten years will be of great help.

Zhang Chaoyang, who was criticized in later generations, even if his net worth is only a few billion yuan, not even a fraction of Brother Xiaoma, he still sits in the front row every time he is in Wuzhen Internet Conference. Why? This is his status as a portal.

With a little equity, his Taiwanese girlfriend can't think he is poor at that time, right? Ding Lei has already begun to happily imagine a happy life in ten years.

It's a pity that Zhang Chen's specialty is not to fight chicken blood, but to pour cold water。。。。。。

"Internet young master, don't be too happy too early, if you still maintain the style of a young master with me, don't talk about this point, maybe you will be fired in less than four years. Zhang Chen said lightly.

Ding Lei gave a big red face, the Internet master is his screen name, but he didn't expect Zhang Chen to hit him with this at this time.

Since Ding Lei can become one of the richest people in later generations, opportunities and his own ability are important, and self-confidence and arrogance are naturally not lacking.

Ding Lei settled down and decided to show Zhang Chen a hand or two, don't think that only you understand the Internet.

"Zack, I think you missed something you just said. Ding Lei said in a slow voice.

Zhang Chen was interested: "Oh?"

Ding Lei said slowly: "-mail." ”

Zhang Chen patted his head, really, how could he forget this? Sure enough, it was dark under the lights, and he used email every day, but he forgot about this important business.

Ding Lei continued: "I have an idea, now all email addresses are paid mailboxes. My friend and I originally developed a free mailbox system, but of course, it's just a prototype now, but it doesn't take much time to complete it. Originally, I was planning to sell various Internet companies, but if we can incorporate the free mailbox feature into the website, I believe it will help attract more users. ”

Zhang Chenqi said: "Free? How did you come up with the idea of launching a free mailbox? This will lose a very important source of profit." ”

Ding Lei scratched his head: "I think the Internet service should be free." Only if it's free, more people will use it. I used to be in telecom and I used UNIX all the time, and UNIX is free, so maybe it affected me. If you don't agree that Email is free, just don't say it. ”

Ding Lei showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Zhang Chen was indeed frightened by Ding Lei, and now there are only a handful of people who can understand the free Internet services, and a large number of ISPs and ICPs are struggling with the problem of profitability, and they can't wait to charge for all services. This has also caused the number of Internet users to grow explosively.

The profit model will plague the entire Internet economy in the next decade.

Penguin in 04, actually implemented the stupid trick of charging registration, although it was only implemented for a month or two, but it also had a very negative impact on the penguins. It can be seen that there were only a few feasible profit models for the Internet at that time.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Chen felt that he had really found the right place to find Ding Lei. With this idea alone, this person is really condescending if he doesn't do the Internet.

Zhang Chen said categorically: "I agree." ”

Ding Lei thought he had misheard, and looked at Zhang Chen with a question mark on his face.

Zhang Chen repeated: "I agree, the launch of a free mailbox is a good thing. In addition, we can also launch a free personal homepage. All the basic services on our website, all for free!"

Ding Lei was anxious, "It's all free, so what profit do we make?"

Zhang Chen said slowly: "Advertising, for portals, only advertising, is the most feasible profit model. ”

Ding Lei was dumbfounded: "Advertisement?

Zhang Chen's eyes were firm: "At present, there are less than 100,000 Internet users in China, but what if it reaches 10 million? What about 100 million? At that time, the advertising revenue of the Internet will inevitably be 10 times and 100 times greater than that of traditional media." ”

Ding Lei thinks that Zhang Chen is crazy, 10 million, 100 million, this can only reach this number of users in the Year of the Monkey?

Zhang Chen stretched out five fingers, "In five years, within five years, the number of netizens in Huaxia will exceed 50 million, this is my expectation." ”

Ding Lei shook his head: "Impossible, the number of Internet users in the United States is only 12 million, accounting for less than 5% of the total population, and the gap between us and the United States on the Internet is more than 5 years." If, within 20 years, we can surpass the United States in the total number of Internet users by virtue of our demographic advantage, it will already be considered a victory. ”

Zhang Chen smiled mysteriously: "Okay, let's make a bet, if after five years, the number of domestic netizens does not exceed 50 million, I will personally give you another point of equity." If it's more than 50 million, I don't want your point, as long as you promise me one thing. ”

When Ding Lei heard this, he hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Chen shook his finger: "Don't go to raise pigs." ”
