Don't Chang'an knows this, and the people in Baidu also know it. Le Wen XS520. ＣＯＭ

Xiang Yunlong told the director of operations about this point of view, and what he meant was that if it could, Baidu could even negotiate with Chang'an Network at double the price, and it was best to package and acquire their O268 together!

The chief operating officer said that although he is also optimistic about this project, the acquisition of this kind of thing must be brought to the board of directors for full discussion, especially for such an important IT project.

In fact, the current Baidu business has not yet fully unfolded, and they are not the legendary bosses in the Internet field today, and Baidu has just started for a few years. Although Mr. Li has attracted a lot of investment from abroad, once there is no capital support in the future, Baidu's road is naturally not so easy to follow.

Therefore, Baidu attaches great importance to this project of Chang'an Network, but it cannot blindly use large sums of money to acquire, it must be fully discussed, made a decision, and finally made a decision.

Don't Chang'an is not in a hurry, Baidu can agree to his own conditions, that's the best, it's okay if you can't agree.

He believes that with the current results of "Chang'an Cloud Music", completing the A round should be a piece of cake, and it will not dilute his shares.

Right now, the spring of tribal products and the turning point in the social sphere have not really arrived.

Bei Chang'an remembers that in 2005, the super girl who made the whole people crazy can definitely be regarded as a turning point that influenced the culture of the Chinese community.

Due to the topic of super girls, the breaking news between fans, and the shady gossip in front of and behind the scenes, every corner of the gossip section of Tianya Entertainment is flooded, which is almost equivalent to being "exploded" by Super Girls.

When crazy Supergirl fans talk about their favorite girls in some small talk sections, the moderators can't understand and often get their posts deleted.

Other users of Tianya rose up and protested en masse, and a hot post "Tianya does not welcome super girls to let go of your voice and say no" represents the voice of mainstream users of Tianya.

The mutual scolding war between the fan groups has also turned this place into a place of saliva and a headache for the administrators.

In contrast, the advantages of the post bar are revealed, corn, pen fans, cold powder, and lunch boxes can all find their own organizations in it, and quickly unite in actions such as SMS voting, solidarity at various stations, canvassing and mobilization, and unanimously make their voices heard on the Internet, instead of crowding into a comprehensive forum mixed with friends and foes to compete with other fan groups for exposure and volume.

Alexa data at that time showed that the traffic even surpassed Sina, becoming the world's largest Chinese site.

Li Yuchun, who was very popular at that time, quickly surpassed other post bars and became the number one post bar!

In the past few days, Bei Chang'an took a look at his mailbox again, and found that there are many companies interested in the tribe at the moment, in addition to Baidu, Wangyi, Sina, Sohu, and Yahoo have all sent letters of intent for cooperation, and they want to talk to Bei Chang'an.

Don't Chang'an is hiding in the besieged city, and there is no way to come forward in person, so he can only communicate with them by email on the Internet.

The attitude of these companies towards "Chang'an Cloud Music" is not much different from Baidu's, and they all want to package and acquire, and they are all gone.

But the offer they gave, Bei Chang'an did not have a satisfactory one, at most only 25 million, so all of them were rejected by Bei Chang'an, he actually wanted to throw this project to Baidu, so that the tribe with the help of search engines can become the baton of online discussion and creating hot spots.

After all, in later generations, it was based on such ideas that attracted a large number of netizens.

Therefore, a "zero threshold" topic discussion forum like the tribe is irreplaceable in the future, and the tribe can still gather a sufficient number of enthusiasts because of its breadth of coverage of netizens, forming a high-quality discussion atmosphere, and killing other "small network" social networking sites.

At this point, breadth determines depth.

What's more: compared with "user-oriented" discussion forums such as Douban, Weibo, and Zhihu, tribes are content-oriented.

Tribal is the most content-oriented of all mainstream Chinese Internet communities, and there is no one.

Compared with Han Han's Weibo, which can trigger tens of thousands of comments with a full stop, and Zhihu, which is "a big V, a big V on the whole site", even if you are already a tenth-level veteran in the history class, you have to start obediently from a first-level novice when you go to the entertainment post bar.

Because of the separation between the 19 million tribes, the experience accumulated by each user in their respective tribes is only valid internally, and the "knowers" who can answer any questions and have 500 likes of cross-domain science popularization have no place in the tribe, which also ensures the equality and professionalism of the discussion within the tribe.

In addition to the tribal owners and internal affairs who hold the tribal rules and the power to delete posts, the status of users, the generation and dissemination of content are all equal relationships.

Although this is due to the extremely simple product design for the sake of universality, it ensures that every newcomer's question can be seen by everyone and has the possibility to be answered. There is no seniority and Internet celebrity V, everyone can discuss issues on an equal footing.

The Internet has evolved from the UGC 1.0 era where everyone is equal to the UGC 2.0 era where users are naturally graded based on the number of fans, the weight of likes, and the amplification range.

May 21, rain.

The school paid for all the students living in the isolation building to eat McDonald's, and Tang Wan put an extra chicken nugget in the No. 2 package belonging to Bei Chang'an.

Tang Wan and the volunteers of the student union finished collecting the temperature gauge and went to 202 to accompany Chang'an for dinner.

Liu Banxian and Zhou Yang, who witnessed all this, were envious.

The cold years know the pines and cypresses, and the adversity sees the truth.

The two of them didn't say anything, don't Chang'an was eating, Tang Wan was watching him eat, the room was quiet all of a sudden, and the spring rain was still pouring outside, and the breeze was gentle.

After eating, Don't Chang'an sent Tang Wan to the door, and then continued to go to the mailroom to surf the Internet, the mailroom has become his second base in the past few days, and he basically came over to stay for a while when he had time.

After getting on QQ, Bei Chang'an received a message from Zhuang Yu.

"Boss, Alipay's plan has been completed and has been sent to your mailbox. ”

Don't Chang'an boarded his mailbox, then found the email sent by Zhuang Yu to himself, looked at it casually, and gave him a few comments for him to continue to revise.

Immediately afterwards, Bei Changan asked: "How is the traffic recently?"

"It's ok. Zhuang Yu replied on QQ: "During this time, the team has always focused on Alipay. ”

Bei Changan said: "After a while, I will raise money." When the time comes, you will concentrate on operating Alipay. ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Is it too early to conduct the A round?"

Don't Chang'an said: "It depends." ”

Zhuang Yu learned a lot from his side during this time, first of all, he personally led the team to revise "Chang'an Cloud Music", which greatly improved Zhuang Yu's business ability and vision.

The fact that he can ask this question proves that his current eyesight and thinking have changed a lot.

Sometimes, it's not a good thing for a business to go ahead too early.

A few years ago, the Internet industry began a capital winter, and the venture capital circle at that time generally circulated a round of death, if the angel round is the recognition of managers, a round can be said to be the recognition of the model, for enterprises, a round is a big hurdle, B round, Not to mention the C round of upgrades, a large number of startups will be brushed down at each stage, and there are very few who can laugh to the end, and the vast majority of them will declare failure at a certain stage, which is normal, after all, success is only a small probability event, and it is normal to hang up when to hang up, but summarizing the major outlets over the years, you may find that those companies that have come to the end are not the first to be established, or even the first to get a round of financing.

It was incredible to get up early in the morning to catch the evening set.

Don't Changan explained: "You don't have to worry about this, with our current traffic, the problem will not be very big, no surprise, the valuation is at least tens of millions of starts, and now the momentum is so fierce, if the A round is carried out, I think no investor will give up such a big project." ”

A truly awesome enterprise, while relying on capital to rise, also has immeasurable potential.

Even if they are late bloomers, it is not without companies that make their debut halfway but take advantage of business opportunities.

For example, group buying, in March 2010, Meituan and Lashou in the field of group buying have just been launched, but Wowotuan has ended tens of millions of A round of financing, less than 3 months, GSR led the investment to inject tens of millions of dollars into Hands, Meituan's financing, and waited until October to complete, another group buying started, and was later acquired by Baidu Nuomi was just established after Hands' A round of financing.

Various companies in the field of group buying in China have experienced a tragic battle, and those who remain are Meituan and Nuomi, which are the latest to get the A round!

Although the high-profile and high-flying wowo group and handle were listed through various means, they failed to hold out to the end.

Speaking of vertical e-commerce, if the capital bubble and capital winter from 2013 to 2015 were mainly caused by O2O, then the big tuyere from 2009 to 2012 belongs to vertical e-commerce.

Of course, bubbles and cold winters also belong to it.

The first few vertical points mainly opened the way from the women's field, which were divided into women's clothing e-commerce Vipshop and cosmetics e-commerce Jumei.

Let's not talk about the listing experience of these two companies, but they are definitely not the companies that first melted into the A round.

Vipshop's initial positioning was luxury e-commerce, this industry as a tall, profitable tuyere has had many business founders involved, more famous, Shangpin.com and Jiapin.com, the former just went online and got Lei Jun and Morningside's A round of dollar investment, the latter took the lead in winning the A round of financing half a year before Vipshop got financing, and Vipshop got $20 million investment from Sequoia and DCM in December 2010.

In addition, there is also a Guangzhou main women's clothing category of Mombazaar, which can be regarded as the predecessor of Vipshop, not only two years earlier than the establishment of Vipshop, but also financing earlier, all this did not make it ahead of Vipshop, although it has always lived according to its own logic.

Therefore, while playing with capital, the reason why Bei Changan is confident is that he has foresight and ideas beyond the times, because he knows the development trend of Internet social platforms, and he also knows that in the next ten years, the development of the Chinese community will definitely be a different landscape.
