155 This is just the real beginning!
On May 18, 2006, Renren.com started a new battle with the idea of "locals, new discoveries" to cut into "life consumption information".
HOWEVER, WHEN THE PROFITABILITY OF WEB 2.0 GENERALLY BEGAN TO BE QUESTIONED, THE INTERNET PREDATOR THOUSAND OAKS INTERACTIVE GROUP RESURRECTED RENREN IN A HIGH-PROFILE MANNER, AND ITS AMBITION WAS SELF-EVIDENT.
Almost quietly, Renren's distinctive yellow villain LOGO has been launched in 33 cities across the country. But unfortunately, more than half a year later, due to slow development, Renren stopped again at the end of March 2007. (The story told in the article is a story from another time and space, so you can think that Renren has now changed the name of the school intranet to Renren.com.) )
After the school intranet was renamed Renren, everyone in the community could come here, thus stepping out of the scope of the campus.
Renren provides services for the entire Chinese Internet users SNS social networking site, provides an interactive communication platform for people with different identities, improves the efficiency of communication between users, and provides functions such as publishing logs, saving albums, music videos and other internal and external resources, and builds a functionally rich and efficient user communication and interaction platform.
Renren's choice to acquire Friends at this time undoubtedly has the motive of acquiring the alumni network and restarting Renren.
But how many people in the management of Renren will make concessions for the alumni network, He Naixuan tried to think about how much money Chen Yizhou could give him?
Thinking of how much money Chen Yizhou would give himself, He Naixuan remembered that Wang Xing sold the school intranet to Chen Yizhou in the previous life, which is said to be five million! Not in RMB, of course, but in US dollars!
Regarding the acquisition, He Naixuan remembered that Wang Xing once expressed considerable helplessness in his blog log: "When our company already owes me the equivalent of 100 months' salary, we don't have much choice."
There is only one reason why Wang Xing will fail, and that is that the venture capital that has not been in place at this time has made Wang Xing overstretched. In layman's terms, there is no money!
He has negotiated with more than a dozen venture capitalists, and one has signed a letter of intent, but in the end, it has failed.
Wang Xing talked about the attitude of venture capital in a somewhat self-deprecating tone: the answer they gave me was equivalent to a girl saying to a boy, "You are a very good person, but I think we are still more suitable to be friends", and there are similarities with a girl's rejection of a boy, and you will never know what the real reason is?
When the school's intranet was in financial trouble, the three founders split up.
Lai Bingqiang strongly agrees with selling, Wang Huiwen strongly opposes selling, and Wang Xing is in the middle and disagrees with selling.
Wang Xing's family was not short of money and could borrow money from his father. But this idea was not put into practice in the end. Lai Bingqiang believes that without getting financing, there is no chance of winning in the school's intranet advertising. Borrowing money to smash ads is too much pressure for the founders.
In the end, the school intranet was sold to Chen Yizhou. Because of the non-disclosure agreement, it is not clear how much money Wang Xing and they received, and there are rumors that it is 5 million US dollars.
Five million US dollars, according to the exchange rate of about 6.944 in 2008, that is, about 34.72 million.
More than 30 million is not a small amount, but He Naixuan still wants to take more, not because of greed, but because of his interests. But some say it's $2 million!
Maybe the school intranet has been under the development of Wang Xing, and it may be the second Tencent, but because their team of fourteen people is too immature, coupled with the success of the opponent's financing, Lei Jun and they all said that they couldn't understand the school intranet at that time, and they didn't dare to invest, and others didn't dare to invest, so Wang Xing and they failed.
In fact, compared with Wang Xing's intranet, He Naixuan has not paid a lot for the alumni network, and he has invested a lot of money every time.
However, if you have to say anything, compared to Wang Xing's unique entrepreneurship in the intranet, He Naixuan is a lot simpler and less labor-saving because it is a model of copying the alumni network, just because he is a reborn person!
However, for the update of hardware and system updates every time, He Naixuan will contact some professional companies in China, so the investment is not small.
And He Naixuan's three masters also helped the alumni network a lot, when Ma Yun had his eighteen Arhats to start a business, and He Naixuan's three masters were equivalent to helping He Naixuan single-handedly and creating a copycat version of the alumni network.
He Naixuan has come to this point, he must take every step well, 30 million yuan can be said to be a fortune that fell from the sky for ordinary farmers and workers, but it is not enough for He Naixuan.
Because of his money-burning operation plan of his e-sports mecca, as well as his plan for Y voice, this is his goal.
And now I have to say that Tencent has not contacted the alumni network, that is to say, it has not called He Naixuan, and until He Naixuan got up and arrived in Jinyuan, Tencent has no news.
This made He Naixuan, who had been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai and felt that things had always been under his control, began to be a little nervous, but he was also slightly nervous.
However, this nervousness was quickly suppressed by He Naixuan, because he was already preparing the next plan.
After He Naixuan's financial compression, the financial resources of Shanxi Airspeed Star Time and Space Coverage Plan have been reduced by half, with only 20 million investments, and there is no major investment in three years.
The reason why the budget of 50 million was reached before was because He Naixuan had fallen into a misunderstanding, what he wanted was to buy all the land of the Airspeed Star Space-Time. Zhou Hao is indeed a talent, and he bluntly pointed out this problem.
Zhou Hao told He Naixuan that if that's the case, let alone 50 million, 100 million can't cover it. The place may also be rented, and the location is not necessarily a downtown area, and the location is not necessarily a suitable place for an Internet café.
He Naixuan was actually busy and confused, since Zhou Hao could put forward such an opinion, it means that this is indeed a talent that can be used, so the power fell on Zhou Hao.
In addition to the coverage plan, He Naixuan also has other plans, that is, to develop mobile games, mobile phone software for the upcoming smartphones.
Needless to say, the simplest is the indispensable Meitu App, entertainment video Meipai, Kuaishou, etc., mobile game rhythm master, daily cool running, happy pop and a series of game applications.
And to support the emergence of these applications, there must be a platform, which is undoubtedly the famous application baby of the later generations, MM store and so on.
He Naixuan knows that the future is the world of smart phones, so the most important thing for his future company is to serve smart phones, but all this requires scientific research talents!
Talent is needed!
Tian Ran, the three masters all appeared in He Naixuan's mind for the first time, but it takes time to convince these people.
It takes money to develop and study these software, it takes money to acquire y voice, and it takes money to develop e-sports holy land, He Naixuan smiled bitterly and remembered one thing, that is, the hero battle game developed by RiotGames in the United States in 2009, and the popular "League Heroes" is also about to open the American service, although "Hero Hero" was only operated by Tencent in 2011.
But to compete for Tencent and the agency of "League Heroes" within three years, it not only requires strong funds, but also a strong platform to operate.
Looking at the alumni network that is about to be sold, He Naixuan began the second funding, that is, the development of the "Plant Zombie" game, this game has not yet been developed by the American team, and he still has time.
This game will be the basis for He Naixuan's second step of capital allocation, He Naixuan believes that this time it will not be tens of millions, at that time it must be hundreds of millions floating, he has his own confidence, even if he is nervous now because Tencent has not contacted him, he is also confident, because he is almost unique in this world!
He Naixuan decided to fly to Jinyuan to preside over the goal of the development of spacespeed and time in the new year, and then wait for Renren or a representative of Tencent, who he believed would come, to negotiate the acquisition, and when everything was over, he would go to register a company.
However, at this time, He Naixuan first paid attention to these materials in his hands, Wang Xing, the founder of Renren (formerly the school intranet), the president of Nofan.com, and the founder and CEO of M Tuan.com.
He Naixuan knows that this is a talent!
In 1997, Wang Xingbao was sent to Tsinghua University to major in radio engineering, and graduated from Tsinghua University in 2001.
In 2003, he gave up his studies in the United States and returned to China to establish the school intranet, which was acquired by Thousand Oaks Group in 06;
In 2009, he founded Nofan.com;
In 2012, he founded the group buying website M Tuan.com.
In 2014, Wang Xing was shortlisted for the 2014 Chinese Economic Leader.
He Naixuan wanted to receive this elite talent into the account, because this person was very important to his future layout.
Because he always remembers what Wang Xing, the founder of Intranet, said in his blog log the day after the takeover of the intranet, he quoted a famous speech by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to show his attitude: "Thisisnottheend.Itisnoteventhebeginningoftheend.Butitis,perhaps,theendofthebeginning."
The meaning of this sentence is: this is not the end. It's not even the beginning of the end. But this may be the end of the beginning.
He Naixuan knew that Wang Xing had done this, and what he had to do now was to let Wang Xing verify this sentence in advance.
And for He Naixuan, this is not the beginning of his end, but his real beginning!
