Chapter 281: AOL Company Status

Xu Qing had a brief chat with the newly appointed manager, which gave Xu Qing a good initial impression and a further understanding of Jinat's ability.

These more than 10 managers were personally interviewed by Jinat after taking office, and Jinat has recruited more than 10 good managers in less than 2 months after taking office, which shows that he is very capable.

Now Jinat is continuing to interview managers, and there are currently more than 30 vacancies for managers in the Carney Group, which need to be filled as soon as possible.

Jinat gave Xu Qing a guarantee that a month later, all managers would be recruited.

Xu Qing left the Carney Group and looked at the time, it was more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still 2 hours before the time to get off work.

Xu Qing came to the Future Group, first, to talk to Bruker about the media problems faced by the Carney Group, and Xu Qing asked Bruker and Jinart to contact them, and the two sides worked together to solve them.

The second is to understand the preparations for the listing of extraordinary companies.

Brooke happened to be in the office, Xu Qing briefly told Brooke about the media problem of the Carney Group, and Brooke immediately promised that it would be resolved satisfactorily.

AOL is now the underdog of the future group.

AOL's current business is mainly AOL online service website and AOL community, of which AOL community has cooled.

The Matthew effect is also very evident in the community website space, where the more users in the future community, the more new users will join.

When people see that people around them are playing the Future community, they can't help but become users of the Future community because they can't fall behind or keep in touch.

It's like the Penguin Company in the original plane, everyone is using their instant messaging software, your friends are playing, and if you don't play, you will fall behind, and your social relationship with them will change.

Although Xu Qing didn't like to use prestige in the original time and space, he preferred to use the Penguin, but his relatives and friends were using it, and no one used the Penguin, so Xu Qing had no choice but to use prestige.

Community websites and instant messaging software both use social attributes, and when the number of users reaches a certain level, those around the user who have not yet used the community website will involuntarily use it.

Maybe some of them, like Xu Qing, don't like to use it, but there is no way, everyone is using it.

There are more and more users in the Future community, and there are naturally fewer and fewer users in the AOL community, plus AOL is full of black Xu Qing's posts everywhere, it is no longer a normal community website, and there are even fewer people who use it, except for Xu Qing's hardcore sunspots.

AOL's other business online service website, and the most important business, AOL originally started with online services.

Unfortunately, AOL's online services business is starting to cool down as well.

AOL's online service business mainly provides Internet users with services such as news browsing, shopping, and stock information.

But now these services are available to companies in the Future Group, and some of them are better.

The news browsing future community and the extraordinary browser can provide it, and although the amount of news is currently no more than AOL, it is not much worse, and the update speed is faster.

In particular, there are many netizens who provide various information spontaneously in the future community.

Some of this information has already been reported in the major media outlets, but more information is not reported by the major media, after all, the media layout and page space are limited.

There are so many things happening every day around the world that it is impossible for them to be covered by the media.

Moreover, some future users can provide different information about some news that has been reported by the media.

This is a bit like the scarf of the original time and space, the circle of friends, which provides information that is not reported by various media.

Of course, the information provided by many future users is false or exaggerated, which is a bit like a scarf and a circle of friends.

But netizens love to read this information.

So the future community and Extraordinary Browser together have more news views than the AOL community.

Then there is the aspect of shopping, which is the weakness of the Future Group, which does not currently provide shopping services.

Only some netizens posted some information about selling and buying in the future community, which is a bit similar to the salted fish website of the original time and space.

However, AOL's shopping service itself is not very good, and the proportion is very low, because online shopping has not yet emerged, and the vast majority of people choose to shop in physical stores, and there are very few people who shop online.

Then there is the provision of stock information, AOL's online service provides accurate stock information on a daily basis, which is not currently available in the future group.

Brooke once suggested that Xu Qing start this business, but Xu Qing refused, Xu Qing knew the future development of the Internet.

In the future, the stock information will be completely open and free, and the business volume of the stock information will be very small, which is weaker than the volume of the online shopping business.

The online shopping business of the original time and space gave birth to the two giants of Amazon and Alibaba, and is there any giant in the stock information business?

Although the Future Group does not provide stock information, many users in the Future community provide various stock information independently.

Not only do they provide, but they also have lively discussions about which stock to buy, stock trends, stock tips, and other information, which is not available in AOL.

The people of AOL were so angry that they vomited blood when they saw those users in the future community discussing stock information.

Although Xu Qing does not know the specific details of AOL's online services, judging from various public information, Xu Qing can determine that AOL's online service business is starting to cool.

AOL is not worried at the moment, they want to use those who have been fired to engage in the Carney Group, so as to achieve the goal of hitting Xu Qing, and the results achieved are destined to disappoint them.

Unless there is a miracle at AOL.

Xu Qing simply talked to Brooke about the troubles made by AOL Company, and put it aside, the listing of Extraordinary Company is the top priority at present.

There are more than 10 days left, and the extraordinary company is about to go public, which is the first company listed by Xu Qing, and the degree of attention is incomparable.

The listing of Extraordinary Company will affect other companies under Xu Qing to a large extent.

If the market value rises sharply, then Xu Qing's company will also benefit, and it will be smoother when it goes public in the future.

If the market capitalization performance is not satisfactory, then it is very bad.

The current valuation of Viva is $1.6 billion, which shocked the United States immediately after being reported by major media.

The company currently has no other business except for the Extraordinary Browser, and the valuation of a web browser alone can reach such a high level, and some people question whether this valuation is deceiving shareholders and investors.

When Xu Qing heard these doubts, he only felt ridiculous, the valuation of $1.6 billion was already very low, you must know that the market value of the original space-time Netscape was more than $2 billion when it was first listed, and then it reached more than $6 billion shortly after it was listed.

Extraordinary Company is now better than the original Netscape in all aspects, and Xu Qing expects that on the day of listing, the market value will definitely exceed $2 billion.

If not, Xu Qing's live broadcast chop... , uh, there's no live stream yet.

However, it is clear that Xu Qing's net worth will skyrocket again.
