Zhang Xian, who was in a very good mood, looked at the financial report and was very satisfied; although it is basically difficult for him and Zhu Jiarun's industries to ensure that they break even, in general, this is a rapid development, which is a healthy state. There are a few businesses that don't have some debt ratios or loans!

Dream Media can actually make a profit, but because of the new projects and the construction of theaters, even if there are successful movies, variety shows and the income brought by its artists, it is still not enough. The construction of the theater is really a gold-swallowing monster, and it can even be said that there are some bottomless ones.

As for Weibo, not to mention, Internet companies themselves are a money-burning model, and now Weibo is not profitable, because there are many places to spend money. But as long as it develops, then wait to sit at home and collect money, which requires a long-term perspective.

On the investment side, many projects do have some success, but now we still need to continue to invest in some new projects, so even if we occasionally sell a few more successful projects, there are still other projects to invest in.

Although they can't see profits, and it doesn't seem to be paying dividends for the time being, Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun don't care, because what they see is the rapid development of the Dream People Group, and what they see is that the Dream People Group is getting stronger and stronger.

As long as these projects are on track, then no matter which one of them is, it will basically bring huge benefits.

has been busy with work, Zhang Xian still has a lot of work to continue to be busy, and this time, it is not in China, Zhang Xian is going abroad. The matter of the photo wall naturally has to be dealt with, and as the second largest shareholder of the rapidly developing Quora and as the co-founder, Zhang Xian naturally needs to come forward, he is not really just a second shareholder who doesn't care about anything.

Although Zhu Jiarun was a little reluctant, she didn't say anything, she really wanted to be with Zhang Xian all the time, but isn't there something more important now. She needs to have a baby with peace of mind now, and that's the top priority.

When he arrived in the United States, Zhang Xian naturally did not need to worry about not having land to live in; although his and Zhu Jiarun's house in the Bay Area was empty most of the time, they still had a place to settle here.

D'Angelo came to discuss some things with Zhang Xian, Quora's development is very good, and the two of them are also very optimistic about Quora's continued development. Naturally, as the two founders who hold the absolute stake in Quora, it is natural to have a good chat.

"Zhang, there are many investors who are optimistic about our website now, and the high-quality Q&A community is a foundation for our success. D'Angelo is proud of his ability to continue to grow, and he is also optimistic about Quora's continued development, "We may need to continue to raise funds in the future, but I hope to attract those who are focused on long-term development." ”

Although the valuation of the website and the company's profit model are not clear, Zhang Xian and D'Angelo are not in a hurry, they are full of confidence. Excellent reputation in the industry and constantly iterative and updated products, this is the capital of two people's self-confidence.

Quora has over half a million registered users, which is a good statistic for the United States, especially since Quora is a Q&A site, which naturally justifies not counting on tens of millions of registered users.

"We need to make the world more open, we need to tap into knowledge that isn't available on the web, and then give it a strong social attribute. Our website is a knowledge base for people to share, learn and showcase. ”

Zhang Xian felt goosebumps all over his body when he said these words, but who made D'Angelo such a person; Although they may not believe all of them, they claim that this is the case, because they need a better corporate image.

"We now need to do a good job of having the topic pages and navigation of the website redesigned to help users discover the information, and we also need to pay attention to the mobile version. Whether it's iOS or Android, today's smartphones must be taken seriously. ”

Hearing D'Angelo say this, Zhang Xian was naturally satisfied, because he was a pioneer who cared about the mobile version, and Weibo had been eyeing the user's mobile phone for a long time. Mobile is really a new area for website development.

"If we do that well, then we need to think about the internationalization and mobility of our services, which will help drive growth. And we have to focus on quality. This becomes more and more important as the website grows. When users come to the site to ask for answers, there must not be a lot of distracting answers. ”

Hearing Zhang Xian say this, D'Angelo couldn't help but high-five Zhang Xian, because he also thought the same, other things can be put aside first, figure out the most important things, and focus on this matter with all his might, this is D'Angelo's opinion.

It is obvious that he and Zhang Xian have agreed on some things, neither of them is in a hurry, they both want to develop in an orderly manner. In fact, Quora is not necessarily in a hurry to raise funds now, because although they burn money, they are really much more worry-free than some other Internet companies.

Although financing is now used for the development and promotion of mobile terminals, more of it is still in banks for emergencies. Zhang Xian and D'Angelo really didn't feel too much financial pressure on the Quora project.

The two people are communicating and discussing with each other, although there are small differences in some places, but the general direction is very clear.

The chat is still very happy, the two founders have the same goal in the development of the website, and Zhang Xian does not seem to have much control over the website, which naturally shows that D'Angelo can be more assured.

It was a pleasant meeting, Zhang Xian and D'Angelo were very satisfied, and the two of them could be regarded as having confessed to each other!

Sean Parker and Moskovitz have also arrived at Zhang Xian's villa, where they are now discussing the sale of the wall, which Facebook looks set to acquire and the founders of the wall are now in good conversations.

"As long as the price is right, I'd certainly love to see Facebook buy our Instagram. Zhang Xian was very calm, and threw a cigar to Parker, "But Sean, it looks like you've come full circle, and then you're back on Facebook." ”

Moskowitz and D'Angelo both laughed, because they certainly won't be returning to Facebook again. But as the CEO of the photo wall, Sean Parker is also the one who is being packaged in this overall acquisition.

"I don't think so, if our Instagram is acquired, it should continue to be independent. Parker was speechless, but there was no resistance, "but for me, it might be funny too." As you know, although I like to enjoy life, I can't be idle, and I enjoy the challenge and fun that comes with work. ”

Parker and Zuckerberg have a good relationship, they are allies, close partners. So Parker is not at all resistant to returning to Facebook again. There is even a little bit of pride, because he is back on Facebook this time, with a successful new project, and he has once again proved his ability and worth.

Zhang Xian, along with D'Angelo and Moskovitz, had no psychological barriers to selling the wall, because the success of the project would bring them huge profits. Everyone's real money can be divided into hundreds of millions of dollars, and they can also get some Facebook shares, although it is estimated that the numbers are pitiful, but after Facebook is listed, the value is obvious!

As for the potential for the photo wall to continue to develop, how to say it, maybe the potential is indeed great, but these people don't have much energy to continue to take care of it. In addition, these people are all shareholders of Facebook, so they also hope that Facebook will develop better, and the acquisition of the Instagram by Facebook can actually create greater value, and the development of the Instagram will be better.

In such a situation, it is natural to be responsible for their interests, and it is also a good thing that the photo wall is acquired.

watched a Warriors game, and when the director found the Warriors owner sitting on the sidelines, there was a boo on Oracle Center. It was the young owner who sold the Warriors' new favorite, the core of the past few seasons, and the new centerpiece, Curry, was tepid, even though the sophomore won the All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge and scored nearly 20 points per game. But this skinny playmaker doesn't look like a man who can lead the Warriors back to the top.

And the Warriors have been torn apart, the core of the team has been completely broken up in the past few seasons, and those rookies have basically been sold. The team is really old, small, and injured now, not to mention the playoffs, and it is not the bottom record of the league, in fact, the fans in the Bay Area have been thankful.

Once again, the team is entering a rebuilding period, much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, who might have had a chance to touch the playoff threshold this season without the new owner.

General manager Larry Riley is briefing the owner on the team's revenues, expenses, and so on this season, which is almost certainly a loss. Because the team's record is tepid, the price of tickets is not high, and other commercial developments are not successful, so it is really tepid, and it is understandable that it is losing money.

However, Zhang Xian was not too worried, because in order to rebuild quickly, the team had to absorb several garbage contracts that were about to expire, so the total salary of the players was relatively high. It doesn't matter if the ball market is tepid, in fact, some manufacturers in China are optimistic about the Warriors, after all, the owner of the Warriors is Chinese, and Da Yao is also reimbursed for the injury season, so the Warriors are still more concerned.

The situation is good, but it is just a small loss, Zhang Xian can accept it, and Zhang Xian believes that in the next season or two, the Warriors may be able to slowly improve. Reconstruction, naturally, you need to be patient, Zhang Xian is still very patient.

After chatting with the new core Curry for a while, and also communicating with the Australian big-mouthed inside gate Bogut, Zhang Xian is in a good mood, although the team's record is tepid, but the potential of the players is still good.

Bob Myers, the next general manager of the team, who is in the inspection period, is also talking about it. That is, although the season is still going on, the Warriors have entered the stage of scouting rookie players and head coaches. In other words, this season is not much hope for the Warriors, and the team's rebuilding strategy is obvious and resolute!

Zhang Xian is also very happy, the team's current record is indeed very average, which is a bit disappointing, but Zhang Xian is not in a hurry, he does not plan to immediately build a luxury squad for the city as soon as he takes office, he does not plan to overdraw the team's potential in the next few seasons, and he does not plan to take the money seriously.

Of course, in the NBA, there are times when there is money and nowhere to spend it, because you don't buy players if you want to buy them, and the salary cap is still more restrictive. And those superstars, it's really a seller's market, it's hard to buy.

"I'm giving you two years to build a new young core and I'm not asking you to lead the team to the playoffs right away. Zhang Xian smiled, crossed Erlang's legs and said to the team's management, "But you have to understand that I need a manager with potential and strength, and I need a young and potential core team." ”

Myers understood, continued to straighten the core Curry, and brought in the Butler University head coach Brad Stevens, who was favored by the owner; although there were doubts about Stevens' age, he had to admit that the young head coach had a few brushes. At least last season, he led Butler University, who didn't have a stellar roster, to the NCAA finals.

Zhang Xian is quite satisfied, the team's management is actually very smart, and at first glance the team's owner is not eye-catching, and even considered to be not very powerful. But really, it's the owner of the team, the guy who pays everybody, and these people have really a lot of power, if they're willing to fight for it.

Firing the head coach, the team's general manager, vetoing a trade or signing is a piece of cake for the team's owner. Therefore, these people are the biggest and biggest bosses of the team, and their strength should not be underestimated, at most, they can't bring wonderful basketball games to the fans, which does not mean that the team's owner is not strong enough.

Mr. Chang may seem like a strong-looking owner who likes to meddle in the team's running in the eyes of some, and while such an owner is annoying, such an owner is not uncommon in the NBA. And the management of the Warriors, they execute the boss's strategy very well.

For Zhang Xian, this is naturally a very satisfying thing; it doesn't matter if the Warriors' current development is not good, just develop better in the future. And Zhang Xian also knows very well that in fact, buying the Warriors is also an investment, because the NBA market is getting hotter and hotter, and the market value of NBA teams is rising.

So even if the team's record is not outstanding, as long as he holds this team, Zhang Xian is constantly making money!

This is a business that is sure to make money without losing money, which is certainly worth doing, and if it is done well, it may be able to multiply several times in a row, and it is really a big profit!
