Chapter 579: Dialogue
On Monday, March 13, the U.S. stock market opened in a ripple effect of selling tech stocks. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Investors, private equity funds, and financial institutions of all kinds liquidated, and the stock prices of high-tech and Internet companies fell, and the dot-com bubble burst.
There are many reasons for this.
There are excessive speculation by investors, the performance of Internet companies does not meet expectations, and some coincidences, which cause investors to lose enthusiasm and confidence in the Internet industry.
When the news reached China, everyone in the domestic Internet companies was at risk.
For a long time, the goal of domestic Internet companies has been to go public in the United States, and once listed, the market value will double, and investors will earn huge profits from it.
Today, technology stocks in the United States continue to fall, and a large number of Internet companies are at risk of going out of business.
The market outlook is worrisome, and the Internet economic crisis has begun to erupt.
China's news media reported that the Internet was originally a new thing in China, and it was not understood, and this time it was even worse, and the cold winter was coming.
Lin Zixuan read the report and knew that this was a major reshuffle in the industry.
It is estimated that it will take two to three years to recover, during which time Internet companies will have to operate miserably, and when they burn out venture capital, they will go bankrupt.
However, finding a new profit model in this desperate situation is also a way to survive the cold winter.
After this crisis, only the enterprises that persist can get the opportunity for development, and most of the Internet companies have been ruthlessly cleaned.
This is exactly the survival of the fittest.
Penguin may not be long before a new round of financing is coming, and Lin Zixuan, as a shareholder of Penguin, has not placed people into Penguin.
He receives an email every month about the company's operations and major decisions for the month.
This is the right as a shareholder.
If Mr. Ma wants to raise funds, he will notify Lin Zixuan and convene a shareholders' meeting.
Lin Zixuan is not in a hurry, judging from the current situation, Penguin is developing rapidly, with more than five million registered users, and it is still growing rapidly.
It has a 60% market share in the domestic instant messaging field, leaving competitors behind.
It's just that, in the absence of profitability, the faster it develops, the more money it burns.
This is the characteristic of Internet enterprises, which are bottomless in the early stage and completely rely on financial support.
Just like Time.com, Lin Zixuan has to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to maintain the normal operation of the website, and as the scale of the website expands, the investment will also increase.
But this kind of website can't be profitable.
In the future, he may be able to sell movie tickets or movie-related products, but now he can only rely on Lin Zixuan to support him.
Investing in the Internet is easy to say, but it is necessary to survive the previous few years, and 80 percent of Internet companies have fallen on the road to success.
At this time, Lin Zixuan received a call from Huaguo TV.
The caller was a choreographer he knew, who worked at the Economic Channel and graduated from the Beijing Broadcasting Institute.
Lin Zixuan used to often go in and out of Huaguo TV, knew some people, and some kept in touch.
The Economic Channel has undergone a revision this year, and the director plans to produce a program called "Dialogue".
In fact, similar to "Shanshan Interview", they are all interviews with the parties in response to hot news in society.
As an economic channel, it focuses on topics in the field of entrepreneurs or finance.
He didn't call to learn from Lin Zixuan, Huaguo TV elites gathered, this kind of column has no technical content, just find a good host and interesting topics.
He asked Lin Zixuan about Han Han's situation.
Han Han's novel "Triple Gate" sold more than 150,000 copies in a month and a half, and he could get nearly 200,000 yuan in royalties based on 16 yuan for a book.
And that's just the beginning.
The media estimated that this novel could bring Han Han an income of more than 500,000 yuan.
If Lin Zixuan's novel earns 500,000 yuan, everyone thinks it is normal and not worth reporting, but a high school student earns 500,000 yuan, which is definitely hot news in this era.
Ordinary workers earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, and a high school student earns more than they can in ten years by writing a novel.
This contrast is too strong, and through the publicity of publishing houses and media, Han Han is popular all over the country, and he is so red that he turns purple.
Huaguo TV's "Dialogue" column wants to invite Han Han to have a dialogue with education experts and sociologists, and they will also find a peer with excellent character and learning to communicate with Han Han.
"What is your position, is it criticism or simple discussion?" Lin Zixuan asked directly.
"Mr. Lin is to discuss the education system and the criteria for success, and there is no criticism of it. The choreographer explained.
Lin Zixuan didn't dare to agree with this, Huaguo TV's programs have always preset their positions, and they invited Han Han to use it as a negative teaching material.
After all, in the current social environment, good students are in line with the mainstream values of society, and poor students are the objects of criticism.
Whether to participate in the show or not, Lin Zixuan can't help Han Han make a decision, this is Huaguo TV.
On the program of Huaguo TV, Han Han's popularity will reach a new level, and it can also promote the sales of novels, neither the publishing house nor Han Han himself will refuse.
"That's okay, I'll tell Han Han whether to participate or not, let him decide for himself. Lin Zixuan agreed.
The purpose of the choreographer to call Lin Zixuan was not to let Lin Zixuan tell Han Han, the program team could inform Han Han by himself, he wanted to invite Lin Zixuan and Han Han to be on the show together.
Lin Zixuan is not only a best-selling author, but also the vice chairman of the Beijing Writers Association, and the person who excavated Han Han.
The most important point is that Lin Zixuan entered the rich list and became a wealthy man in China.
His popularity is much higher than Han Han's, and the two of them are more topical when they appear on the show together, and the ratings are guaranteed.
Moreover, Lin Zixuan rarely gives interviews, and rarely appears on TV shows, only once was when Mu Shanshan was still on Huaguo TV, he interviewed the crew of "Beijingers in New York".
For the audience and readers, Lin Zixuan has a kind of mystery, and inviting Lin Zixuan is his real purpose.
"You guys do the show, what am I going to do. Lin Zixuan shirked.
"Knowing that Mr. Lin is busy, it will be done in one day, besides, aren't you afraid that we will embarrass Han Han, you can come and supervise us. The choreographer tried his best to convince.
Speaking of which, Lin Zixuan is not easy to refuse, and his relationship with this choreographer is okay.
"Let's see, you've got someone in touch and tell me. Lin Zixuan didn't say anything to death.
"We'll work with your time, as long as you say yes. The choreographer assured.
can invite Lin Zixuan, this episode of the show is half the success.
Hanging up the phone, Lin Zixuan sighed in his heart, life is like this, often involuntarily. (To be continued.) )
