Chapter 43: Teng Xun

Although Su Wen's humiliation of Li Mingzhe in the cafeteria was known to almost everyone in Jiangda, no one stabbed this matter to the school office, and Su Wen was naturally not punished. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Lee Ming-che passed through the cafeteria, several of the people who had been following him before looked down on him, and they were humiliated like this by a freshman, and the whole person was completely wilted.

Half a month has passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, in November, Su Wen's space website has undergone many revisions, and after adding real-time dynamics of the friend space, not only the number of visits and registrations has increased significantly, but the phenomenon of adding friends to interact and leave messages has become more and more frequent, and it has gradually become a social attribute.

But after all, it has only been promoted in Yan University and Jiang University, and the registered users are basically students of Jiang University and Yan University. The number of registered users of the website exceeded two thousand, and it almost came to a standstill.

Su Wen carefully wrote down his memory, and the famous social networking site Facebook in later generations was first promoted among colleges and universities, and then slowly promoted to the whole society.

However, there is a reality that the origin of Facebook is the United States, and the origin of Space is China. At this time in the United States, middle-class families have achieved one computer per household, but the gap in China is obviously still far away, the number of computers is not even one percent, and now more Internet users are still surfing the Internet in Internet cafes, and there are not many people who can afford computers.

This gave Su Wen the idea of making the space website into a computer desktop software, so that users don't have to remember the domain name, and they can reach it by opening the software directly.

However, the number of users is not very large yet, so there is no need to rush to think about this for the time being.

There is also no need to think about how websites make money, and there is no Internet company in China that has announced profits. Even if it expands to the world, only Yahoo, the most successful Internet company today, has just announced that it is profitable.

Most of today's Internet companies are doing one thing in common, which is to make their companies promising in order to gain the favor of venture capital.

At present, the space website is different from the domestic Internet companies, and it does not need to burn a lot of money, but only needs to pay the rental fee of the server attached to the telecommunications bureau.

What Su Wen is thinking about now is whether he should promote his website to more netizens.

Because it is obvious that Jiang Da and Yan Da's current netizens have almost been collected by him, and the rest may be netizens who are not interested in his website. Therefore, if the space website wants to achieve sustainable development, it is bound to need to be promoted to other places.

And now in 99 years, Tianya, the largest Chinese community in later generations, has just opened its station, and it is far less popular than later generations. At present, the largest number of people in the community is still Tsinghua University and Wangyi, the two major BBS communities, known as Nanwangyi and North Tsinghua, Su Wen decided to promote his space website to these two communities first.

After the space website was piloted in the two major universities of Jiang University and Yan University, Su Wen's confidence has greatly increased, and he is very sure that most netizens will like this website that can send photos and make friends and interact.

Unlike Su Wen, who is still living and is at ease, he is in Jiangbei Province, but Tengxun, who is far away in Shenshi, has not had a good life.

At the beginning, I just held the Teng Xun of raising OICQ first, but as the number of users increased, I found that this little thing was simply a starving ghost reincarnated, which has overwhelmed the company's operation.

In order to feed the fast-growing OICQ, Ma Teng and the company's partner Zeng Qing had to take jobs everywhere. Feed the tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars you earn to this OICQ, which can only call Didi at the moment.

OICQ was only developed in February this year, and now in November, the number of users has exceeded one million, which is currently the software with the largest number of registered Internet users in China, but the founders of several companies can't laugh at this time.

Because several of them are facing the problems that make them extremely difficult.

Originally, he was holding OICQ to participate in the Teng Xun of the first International High-tech Achievement Fair held in Shenzhen. However, he suddenly received a thick letter package from the United States, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a lawyer's letter from AOL, which had filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court against OICQ for infringing ICQ's intellectual property rights, and demanded that Tengxun stop using OICQ and OICQ's domain name and return it to AOL.

Several founders looked at each other, and after reading the analysis of Chen Dan, a legal professional, they came to a conclusion. It's that Teng Xun doesn't have the money to fight this lawsuit now, and even if he does, it will be more than lucky.

Compared with this lawsuit, there is another problem that makes them feel more tricky, that is, the company only has 10,000 yuan left in its account.

Several of the founders have worked for a few years and do not have much savings, so even if they want to continue to invest, they are powerless.

What's more, OICQ is still a product without any profit direction, because OICQ does not belong to any of the current popular concepts of the Internet, such as portals, search, e-commerce, etc.

In the case of the inability to increase capital and the hopelessness of open source, selling the company may be a more pleasant way.

With the money from the sale of the company, they can continue to open a company.

If this is a product that allows them to see the way forward, they may borrow money to continue to persevere, but the reality is that the OICQ product Tengxun has not been able to give it a clear positioning so far.

After deciding to sell the company, the parties agreed to keep the lawsuit confidential and let the person who bought the company settle it.

The first buyer that several people looked for was SEG Group in Shenzhen, but in the eyes of the people of SEG Group, OICQ is just a product that seems to have a rapid growth in the number of users, and no one in the world knows how it makes money. Even ICQ, the originator of OICQ, has not found a way to make money from it so far, and is not interested in it at all.

After hitting a wall in SEG, several founders also went to Jiangzhou and Yanjing respectively, and successively found four companies to negotiate the purchase of Tengxun.

But in the end, they didn't talk about it, because according to the price of several people's hearts, it was three million. As the negotiations deepened, the prices in the hearts of several founders fell again and again. But the most of these negotiation companies was only 600,000 yuan, and it was estimated according to how many computers, tables and chairs Tengxun had.

This price could not be accepted by a few people at all, and the company could not sell it for a while, so several people could only find a way to maintain the company first.

The founder, Chen Dan, tried to get some loans from the bank, but the bank staff asked, what assets can the company pledge? Chen Dan replied, yes, the product we designed OICQ has more than one million registered users. The bank officer laughed and said, you have come to the wrong place.

To sum up, this is the current situation of Tengxun.
