Chapter 155: One Step Late

The so-called P2P technology, relatively simply put, is to download and upload at the same time, not only to provide services for users, but also to share between users, the more people who download, the more people will pass the downloaded part to you, so, the more people the faster. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This technology was later widely used in download software, and almost all mainstream download software, such as Thunderbolt, eMule, BT seeds, etc., adopted this model.

Solving this problem will greatly reduce the hard threshold of network speed for network playback.

It's not that if it can't be solved, it can't be played on the Internet, after all, now the Internet is popular in China, most home users have popularized ADSL, and the fiber optic speed of Internet cafes is faster. However, if P2P technology can be adopted, it can obviously further lower the viewing threshold and improve the user experience.

Internet user experience is important.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Zejun finished speaking, Li Mingran said: "Yes, you are talking about P2SP technology, and some people in China have already realized it." ”

"P2SP?" Zhao Zejun is not very familiar with this term, is it not P2P in his impression? What is P2SP, do you remember it wrong, or is this the predecessor of P2P?

Li Mingran explained a little, and Zhao Zejun realized that the two are basically the same thing. P2P is peer-to-peer, user-to-user, P2SP, with one more server, user and user, user and server. It's essentially the same, one thing.

"How long will it take for us to develop it ourselves?" Zhao Zejun asked Li Mingran.

"Mr. Zhao, I want to ask, are you interested in P2P technology itself, and want to develop a network product to promote and expand Zelianke's business, or is it just to solve the problem of non-sincere do not disturb network broadcasting?" Li Mingran asked.

Zhao Zejun thought for a while and said: "Of course, the top priority is to play the network without disturbing, of course, if time permits, the investment can be controlled within a certain range, and we can also develop our own P2P software, now netizens have more and more demand for downloads, and download software must be the market." However, do not disturb is the point. ”

"If that's the case, I'd recommend not developing it yourself. First, the R&D cycle is long, and the time is definitely too late, and secondly, even if it is developed, the future marketing is also a hurdle, and it may not necessarily be able to occupy the market. ”

Li Mingran smiled easily: "In the past, you were a business, there was no way, now it is different from more than a year ago, you are also a party of 'capital', if necessary, you can directly acquire or invest in financing, let those entrepreneurs and developers work for you, as long as the price is right, there is no project that cannot be taken." ”

"You didn't say that I almost forgot ......" Zhao Zejun thought about it for a while, and asked uncertainly: "What do you mean, it's Xunlei, right?"

In his previous life, Lao Zhao was very familiar with Thunderbolt, and often used this thing to get off the film, but in this life, he really didn't have much effort to watch the film: whether it was a serious film or a serious film, he didn't have time to watch it, and all the required materials were also prepared by secretaries and assistants, so he really hadn't used Thunderbolt much since he traveled so far, and he almost forgot about it.

But Thunderbolt has indeed appeared on the market at this time, and has made great achievements.

"Yes, it's Thunderbolt. Li Mingran nodded and said: "The concept of PTSP is the founder of Xunlei Zou Shenglong in 01 years in the United States Silicon Valley put forward, and in Silicon Valley applied for a technology patent, I and he had a relationship, in 2003 he returned to China to start a business in Pengcheng, we have contacted several times." If memory serves, he officially established Thunderbolt Technology Company this year. The Internet is developing too fast, and many of the current Internet products themselves are very famous, but the entrepreneurial team and the company are out-and-out small companies, and the same is probably true for Xunlei Company, are you interested in investing?"

The later development of Xunlei's company, Zhao Zejun has some impressions.

It is a well-deserved leader in the domestic download industry, the tenth largest Internet company in the country, and listed in the United States.

However, after the listing, from the perspective of business operations, the development has not been very good, despite the continuous investment of well-known companies such as Xiaomi, but the stock price has always been dead, falling below the issue price at every turn, and the market value has been dangling under the line of $1 billion all year round.

1 billion US dollars does not sound small, but you must know that Xunlei ranks in the top ten among domestic Internet companies, and is listed in the United States, before and after it is said to have gone through more than a dozen times of financing and investment, behind the strong support of many domestic Internet strongmen regardless of blood costs, under these premises, Xunlei's performance is really a bit ashamed to see people.

Lao Zhao lit a cigarette and pondered for a moment.

Thunderbolt's performance is not good, but it doesn't mean that it must not be invested.

Anyway, it's also a market value of 1000 million US dollars, and investing in this kind of thing is not too late, since Xunlei Company was only established this year, the scale of the company is definitely not large, if you can spend a little money, such as a million, or even millions of yuan, take a part of Xunlei's equity, in terms of rate of return, it is also dozens of times, of course, it is not a loss.

At the same time, it can immediately solve the problem of network playback speed, killing two birds with one stone.

"Lao Li, you contact the other party as soon as possible and find out. Zhao Zejun knocked on the table, "By the way, in the name of Zelianke, Zelianke has a blog China, which is of great help to the promotion of Xunlei." Let's just say that Zelianke intends to lead the investment, and even my exclusive investment is not impossible. ”

"Okay, I'll get in touch right away. You give me the bottom, how much money can we probably come up with, how many shares do we want? I'll talk to each other. Li Mingran asked.

Zhao Zejun pondered for a few seconds and said: "The upper limit of investment is 15 million yuan, accounting for 30% of the shares, and the lower limit is 10% of the shares. That's about it. ”

"Got it. ”

Li Mingran turned around and went out to contact, Zhao Zejun leaned on the boss's chair with his arms crossed, closed his eyes and thought, wondering where the money came from.

Most of the money from Zelianke and Zeyue has been promised to Gianna for the development of the two companies and to support the data center, and a small part of it is invested in the Zeye project, which can be twitched is really limited.

For the rest, the loan of Zeye Plaza cannot be touched by a dime, and the special funds must be earmarked, otherwise Sushang Bank will not be able to pass the pass in the first place, and the bank will supervise the use of funds after the loan, not that you can do whatever you want to do with the loan. Besides, Zeye Plaza is indeed short of money, and he is too willing to spend money on this project, and the 80 million loan and the money raised before are tightly packed together, and even the first phase may not be enough, let alone allocate funds to support other projects.

It's really not good, sell a little Baidu shares, Baidu's stock price 100 times the stage of making profits, and then more than ten years of steady growth, selling a small number of shares, in exchange for the original shares of another future listed company is still very cost-effective.

That's pretty much it, and after the broadcast of Do Not Disturb, Zhao Zejun has the bottom in his heart, and he can have a return in a short period of time, and it can be carried out smoothly in several aspects.

After a while, Li Mingran came back.

"What's the matter, the conversation didn't go well?" Zhao Zejun saw Li Mingran's face was strange.

"This ...... Blame me, I didn't do a good job of investigation in advance, I haven't been in touch with them for a long time, and I just talked on the phone, only to know that the situation has changed a lot. Li Mingran shook his head and smiled bitterly, sat down opposite Zhao Zejun, and said, "Xunlei is not a small company now. ”

"Tell me more. ”

That's right, when he won the patent in Silicon Valley, he contacted several venture capitalists, and returned to China in 03 to develop Xunlei, and got a million dollars of investment that year. After a pause, "Investors may still know each other." ”

"Who?" Zhao Zejun asked curiously.

"Yang Fei of IDG. ”

"Oh, I've heard of this guy. "Zhao Zejun doesn't know him, but he does have a relationship.

This investor is really famous, it is precisely this year, like Zhao Zejun, that he made a lot of money from Baidu, IDG's investment in Baidu is his responsibility, and the five-year investment cycle has brought a hundredfold return to IDG, and Yang Fei himself has become a well-known venture capitalist in the industry.

For venture capitalists, Zhao Zejun is not cold, just kidding, in terms of investment vision, ten Buffetts can't catch up with a traverser.

"One million dollars, how much of his shares?" Zhao Zejun asked.

The other party didn't say it explicitly, but listening to that meaning, it doesn't have much of a stake. Li Mingran said.

In other words, Thunderbolt is not short of money. Zhao Zejun smiled.

"I guess there is still a lack of money, Internet start-ups, at the beginning, they are burning money, and how much money is not enough. However, this year's Baidu listing has also made Yang Fei, an investor, popular, and several projects he invested in have become key projects in the industry, including Xunlei, which has attracted many venture capital institutions. ”

Li Mingran shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We are also unlucky, just one step too late." In May this year, as soon as Xunlei Technology Company was established, several venture capitalists took the initiative to come to the door, among which Chenguang Technology led the investment, injecting 10 million ......" pause and added" US dollars. ”

Zhao Zejun of Chenguang Technology knows that many world-famous venture capital companies have its shadow behind them.

hugged the thigh of Chenguang Technology, and just got 10 million US dollars, Xunlei estimates that there is really no shortage of money.

"Well, I also put forward our ideas, and the other party welcomes Zelianke's investment and hopes to cooperate with Blog China. According to the words of Mr. Zou, the current Internet industry, blog China, Baidu, and Tencent are the three major engines, and they can't be asked for cooperation. ”

"What about money and shares?" asked Zhao Zejun.

"Ten million dollars, 8% equity. After Li Mingran finished speaking, he laughed.

Obviously, there is no need for Zhao Zejun to speak, even he knows that Lao Zhao will not agree.
