When I arrived in Boston, I naturally had to go to Han Lei's side to sit down, DROPBOX has not yet launched the C round of financing, and due to its participation in the development of Icloud, the company's overall valuation has exceeded 1 billion yuan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even if Erniu's shares are diluted, just this net disk makes him worth more than 700 million yuan, but the numbers on paper have not been reported by the media, and no one has noticed Kraft Nguyen, the Internet predator hidden in the NBA.

ERNIU VISITED THE INTERIOR OF DROPBOX AGAIN AND, AS A SHAREHOLDER, ATTENDED A REGULAR MEETING OF THE COMPANY'S TOP MANAGEMENT. Even if it is just a mascot, Ruan Erniu is a very popular existence.

In Han Lei's office, he said to Erniu: "How do you feel?"

Ruan Erniu said: "Johnny, or how to put it, your current performance is already a qualified IT entrepreneur. ”

Han Lei said with a smile: "I became a manager, only to find that my brain is completely insufficient, the market is changing too fast, and the size advantage of those giants is a headache, whether it is Apple or Google, they are all eyeing us!"

Erniu said: "In this regard, I respect your personal opinion, since you have such a good foundation for cooperation with Apple, even if you plan to sell the company to them as a whole, I personally have no objection." ”

Han Lei was puzzled: "Well, Kraft, do you want to sell the shares?"

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "No, Johnny, everything is subject to you, I am an investor and only care about maximizing profits." ”

Han Lei nodded in agreement, Internet companies are like this, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies.

It's like the historical PayPal (that is, PayPal, which can be understood as the Alipay of the United States).

Founders Peter Thiel and Elon Musk (yes, the one who later developed the SPACE-X rocket project and Tesla, who is said to be the prototype of Iron Man), set their sights on online payments almost simultaneously.

Peter Thiel founded Confinity and officially established the PayPal in '99, coincidentally, Elon Musk built the X.com right next to PayPal.

Due to the proximity of product projects and similar operating models, the competition between them is quite fierce.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and as the pressure of competition continues to escalate, the emotions of both sides are becoming more and more tense.

The characteristic of Internet startups is that their thinking is quite divergent during internal meetings, and the engineers under the boss dare to come up with all kinds of magical and bizarre ideas.

When did Peter Thiel realize that his rivalry with Musk had reached the point where it was untenable?

On this day, PayPal held its usual internal meeting, and it was Peter Thiel's turn to speak under an engineer, only to see him nagging to close the doors and windows, and then open the slides and start telling all his plans.

It turned out that the engineer didn't think of a new operational strategy or product optimization, and he directly designed a bomb to blow up Elon Musk's company.

Everyone should laugh at such an absurd idea that it does not conform to the normal legal order, but then something happens that makes Peter Thiel jaw-dropping.

Peter Thiel miraculously discovered that most of his engineers actually agreed with the engineer's idea. Instead of exposing the problem, they discussed the details of how to store the bombs, how to detonate them, and how to ensure that all X.com employees were within the company and could kill them all at once.

Peter Thiel then realized that the competition between the two sides had reached an extremely bad state, and if it continued, both sides would collapse sooner or later.

Businessmen are like this, no one wants to fall in vicious competition.

As a result, the most classic scene in the history of business appeared, Peter Thiel, after stopping the bizarre ideas of his subordinates, took the initiative to come together with Musk, and they merged the online payment companies of both parties in a ratio of 50:50, which led to today's PayPal.

They created a new win-win model for those who came after them, and finally avoided blind competition.

In fact, they avoided not only the bitter competition between the two engines, but also the dot-com bubble crisis of 2000.

As a result of the merger, the new PayPal occupied a very high market share, and finally obtained enough financing to survive the most difficult Internet winter.

In fact, the people of the Celestial Empire, who are good at learning, have also fully learned such a competitive strategy, and the same will be true for Youku and Tudou in the future, Didi and Kuaidi.

Once you can't do it in a short time, use all kinds of commercial means to kill the opponent. It is better to let two strong people cooperate and instantly become a monopoly-level force in a certain field, so as to maximize their respective interests.

Ruan Erniu patted Han Lei on the shoulder and said, "CEO, think about it slowly, anyway, I will definitely support your choice, go first, I will go to today's adaptation training later." ”

The Hawks are in no hurry to leave Boston after taking out the Celtic Heat, where they will rest for a day before flying to New Jersey the next day to complete their final four-game row.

The New Jersey Nets traded Kidd last year, and this summer, they even wanted to trade Richard Jefferson, a single-handed boy.

But in the end, the deal didn't go through, and the Bucks were the closest team to a trade, but the Nets were bent on getting Al Horford, who was also not for sale for the Bucks, and in the end the two sides couldn't reach an agreement.

The Nets' starting lineup this year has changed dramatically from the start of last season.

The starting point guard changed from Kidd to the incredibly fast Devin Harris, Carter was moved to the shooting guard position, and the small forward was naturally replaced by Richard Jefferson, who was not traded.

On the inside, they boldly used two rookies as starters, Brook Lopez with the 10th pick and Ryan Anderson with the 21st pick.

The Hawks don't know if it's homesick or if they think the Nets are just that.

At the beginning of the first quarter, he was caught off guard by his opponent, and Ryan Anderson continued to empty the interior and hit a 3-pointer against Chris Anderson from outside the three-point line.

Birdman was instantly beaten by fellow Anderson.

What about Ruan Erniu?

In fact, it is not much better, Brook Lopez has solid skills in the low post, and he does not waste his shots, and he actually completed the mutual explosion with Erniu on the offensive end for a long time.

Mr. 65 has just experienced a glorious night, and he is stunned that he has not bargained in front of the rookie.

What's even worse is that in this game, Devin Harris went berserk.

He took advantage of his speed, made Bibby and Dragic lose his temper at all, and broke through the interior to cause kills in a row, and Harris alone made 12 free throws throughout the game, and magically hit all of them.

Ruan Erniu was trapped in a foul and his playing time in this game was sharply reduced, but despite this, he finally scored 27 points and 14 rebounds.

However, compared with Da Lopez's 25 points and 9 rebounds, Erniu's dominance was obviously not fully displayed in this game.

The Hawks' second leader stepped up, shooting 11 of 16 in this game, including 5 of 8 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, helping the team bite the score.

At the last moment, Ruan Erniu was not soft after all, and he succeeded in singled Lopez in the low post and overtook the score.

At 116:115, the Hawks won the last of their four-game winning streak and returned to Atlanta overnight with an eight-game winning streak at the start of the season.

Where they still have back-to-back games to play, and the opponent is the Nets who have just played each other.
