Chapter 2 Pull out the radish and bring out the puree
Because Liu Qian is still in San Francisco to deal with the aftermath, there are no staff members in the capital industry around Gu Cheng who are particularly knowledgeable at the moment, who can help him analyze what has happened outside in the past few days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the wine table of the Jiangnan Club, Lei Jun just threw Gu Cheng a copy of the Wall Street Journal and asked her to read it for herself.
Gu Cheng flipped through the pages pointed by Lei Jun, and only one or two vague conclusions such as "Legendary Entertainment may be valued at more than $5 billion if the IPO is successful". However, the article basically does not mention the technical analysis of why the capital market is bullish on Legendary Entertainment.
All the arguments are derived from Gu Cheng's discourse when he participated in Donald's "Flying Huang Tengda", believing that Gu Cheng's legendary entertainment future must be the vanguard of discovering the differential spiritual needs of Chinese people, and what are the outlets.
Those who know know at a glance that these arguments are not probative, so anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is whitewashing some reasons that cannot be put on the table.
To put it bluntly, Wall Street is optimistic about Gu Cheng, thinking that he has strong external reinforcements and a promising future - can a man who can compete with New York real estate tycoon Donald and the young lady of the Samsung Li family have a bright future.
"It seems that the news has really leaked, and I thought that at the most high-end cocktail party, every attendee was tight-lipped. Gu Cheng put down the Wall Street Journal and sighed.
Among the people here, Lei Jun was the CEO of Jinshan, and he has the most experience in this area.
"Ah Cheng, this kind of thing...... How do you think that the rumors leaked out because someone was 'gossiping'? After sitting at that height, no one can control themselves. This kind of news is clearly leaked by some people who 'hyped up the valuation of Legendary Entertainment and was beneficial to him'. ”
As soon as Lei Jun said this, Gu Cheng suddenly woke up.
"Well, maybe it was leaked by Sun Zhengyi's people...... However, if he still has the idea of continuing to expand his holdings in the future, the higher the market value, the higher the acquisition cost, right? By the way, he doesn't know that he has the possibility of expanding his holdings in the future, and maybe he will really shoot himself in the foot.
There is also a possibility that Quan Shunyu did it. Brother Quan also invited him to the reception that day, and he knew my plan. And when I signed the white glove shareholding agreement with him, there was a VAM clause. Even if it is official, if he can speculate on the part of the equity held on behalf of him in the future, he can make tens of millions of dollars more. ”
Gu Cheng analyzed it in his heart for a while before he could understand this matter completely.
It's just that he has to be a public figure again, and he is regarded as a gossip legend.
Thinking of this, Gu Cheng instructed Wang Qingming: "Lao Wang, I've been staring at YY stickers recently, if there is a scandal between me and Miss Li of Samsung uploaded on the post bar related to me, delete the post and control, don't leave the impression and handle of 'we are taking advantage of the situation' to Samsung." If it's about me and Ivanka, it doesn't matter, the people of the United States don't have the concept of chastity anyway, and they are not afraid of reputation problems. Dongyi's wealthy chaebol is too conservative in terms of the reputation of men and women. ”
"Yes, Mr. Gu, I know what to do. Wang Qingming took over this harmonious task without saying a word, but his heart was still looking up to Mr. Gu: Look, what is a dick? This is called a dick! The third princess of the Samsung family chased after her, and she had to help people block the news.
"I've been abroad for two months, is the situation okay at home? Are there any emergencies that I haven't prepared for? ”
Gu Cheng didn't ask anyone this question, but Lei Jun, who had the highest status, took over the conversation: "It's all okay, it's only two months, the projects you have arranged haven't been settled yet, what can happen." The peers are just like that, Lao Li and Lao Ma have no new movements, one is busy deepening ADSENSE, and the other is busy revising Taobao. ”
GU CHENG NODDED SECRETLY, HE ALSO KNEW THAT ADSENSE WAS NOT SO EASY TO OPERATE, AND A LOT OF WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE IN THE INITIAL CREDIT BUILDING STAGE. Fortunately, he only has a 20% stake in ADSENSE, so he doesn't have to worry about it, and the work in the operation stage can be left to Boss Li to worry about.
Boss Li is a scholar-type entrepreneur, and the skill of controlling people is definitely not good, and it is good not to be tormented by the corruption and exploitation of KPI loopholes by his subordinates when operating. But Google's ADV-GO has been on the board for more than two months, and I hope he can learn a little bit of Google's management model experience and use Baidu's first-mover advantage. ADSENSE WILL BE ABLE TO OCCUPY THE INTERNET ADVERTISING INTERMEDIARY MARKET IN ASIA IN THE FUTURE, AND GU CHENG IS VERY SATISFIED.
As for Ma Feng's Taobao, as far as Gu Cheng knows, it seems that when Taobao was first launched, it also underwent many revisions and various optimized experiences, and it took at least two years to completely enter the orbit. So how busy Ma Feng is, Gu Cheng can completely imagine. In his estimate, before 05 years, everyone will think that there is no such person as Ma Feng in the Huaxia Internet circle - he has no time to provoke others or buy and buy, and others have no time to provoke him.
"What about the others?" Gu Cheng pondered about these and continued to ask.
Lei Jun counted a few treasures and said: "Zhou Hongyi is still his angel investor, and he has not invested in any great good projects, it is said that he wants to learn from us to engage in free antivirus, and it is not free to bind the account, it is unconditionally free." But he hadn't found an entry point and allies yet, so he didn't dare to start easily.
Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang hasn't done anything this year, and the portal has also been beaten down a lot of traffic by Huang Yi, which we jointly have. After the industry completely recovered, I heard that Zhang Chaoyang began to brew a transformation, learn from Baidu to make a Baidu-style search engine, temporarily named Sogou, and is expected to be commercialized in the second quarter of next year.
Sina's mailbox business was impacted by Tengyun's newly listed QQ mailbox, and it was decided to open up a new battlefield to fight back - for Tengyun's other business QQ space, Sina is preparing to publish a Sina blog, which is estimated to be done in early 04. ”
After Gu Cheng heard the topic he was most interested in, he immediately interrupted Lei Jun: "So, Ma Teng's side, in the two months I went abroad, the transcript I took out was QQ space and QQ mailbox?
"Yes, Xiao Wang knows this better, so I'm going to leave it until the end for him to report to you. Lei Jun nodded bluntly.
Gu Cheng turned to Wang Qingming: "When I was in the United States, how happened to the 'Renren' project that instructed you to adjust the R&D plan?
Wang Qingming's face was slightly embarrassed, and he gritted his teeth and reported a time: "I will definitely give you an online line during the summer vacation, mainly because our R&D strength for space community products is relatively weak, and you strongly require repeated optimization of the user experience, and it takes a lot of time for us to plan, demonstrate, and large-scale testing...... Moreover, the YY sticker project also takes up a lot of energy, and in the process of sticking bar optimization, we also continue to learn from the experience of the sticker project to modify the planning ...... of "Renren".
"No need to explain, I don't think you're slow. Is it a little slow for a month or two, it's okay, just bring the QQ space to the ditch and we'll do it again. Gu Cheng smiled very modestly and signaled Wang Qingming not to be nervous, "I have also invested a new subsidiary in the United States, and I will go to Boston with a few people in the near future, connect with some of the resources I know at Harvard University, and put the overseas version of 'Renren' 'YY.com' into operation." At the beginning of the new school year, a version will be initially launched, and remember to make it possible to bind a YY account. ”
"Okay, who will this project connect with then?" Wang Qingming confirmed respectfully.
"A student named Mark Zuckerberg. ”
"Still a student at school?What's the matter?" Wang Qingming was shocked, he didn't expect Mr. Gu to be so "nepotistic" that he actually let him cooperate with Mr. Gu's classmates.
Wang Qingming was suddenly a little unconvinced.
Gu Cheng naturally saw it, after all, the current Zuckerberg has no prestige at all, and he is a pure technical nerd.
So he persuaded step by step: "Lao Wang, don't look down on Harvard students, Bill Gates was also a Harvard student back then. You have to believe my vision, the person I'm looking for now is not as good as Bill Gates, at least he is the best in this area among the more than 3,000 people currently in Harvard.
Whether it is our 'Renren Network' or 'YY Network', compared with QQ Space, the main feature is acquaintance socialization, and we must emphasize that you can meet acquaintances in real life through these tools. Therefore, it is very important to have a high-end circle entry point, so that other people in the low-end circle have the motivation to envy and emulate.
Of course, the acquaintances you see every day in pure life are too familiar, and they don't have much temptation for users, and they can't stimulate the hormonal attributes of social interaction at all. Therefore, at the very least, it is important to emphasize alumni or colleagues in the same large company who are far away from each other and do not usually have the opportunity to deal with each other. In this way, programmer otaku can meet the beauties of the same company's operation department, administration department, and finance department, and no longer have to expect offline conversations. Otaku alumni are only a little bit likely to ask for a girl at the flower level of the school flower department.
Internet social tools are to make new friends that can't be made in real social networking, or a little bit of jumping enough to be enough, so as to make up for the hidden pain points of offline socialization. Completely overlapping with offline, there is no future.
If the word of mouth of such a tool when it first became popular, 'Harvard and other Ivy League students are using this site for dating,' then the motivation for first, second, and third-rate university students to follow suit is very strong — what pheasant university student doesn't want to use the same social circle as Harvard alumni?"
As soon as Gu Cheng explained this, Wang Qingming was immediately relieved, and he was not so resistant to Gu Cheng pulling a Zuckerberg to participate in the overseas version of the project to preside over the overall situation.
