Chapter 294: Coercing the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes
It is said that it is hao123 headquarters, but it is actually an ordinary studio. ()
Because, hao123's web page setup doesn't require much programming, just add some network connections within the Internet. Moreover, at that time, due to the cost of the server, Li Xingping, the founder of hao123, came up with a brilliant idea. That is, after the user accesses hao123, the connection between the personal computer and hao123 is immediately disconnected.
In this way, this can ensure that every user can quickly ask online when accessing hao123. This genius idea immediately brought a lot of users to hao123, because the speed at which everyone opened hao123 was too fast. It's so fast that it's negligible, and hao123 has so many URL functions, just since its launch, it has been welcomed by many novice users.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Zixian of Tang Dynasty Company."
Zhang Zixian looked at the founder of hao123 in front of him.
Speaking of Li Xingping, the founder of hao123, his entrepreneurial road is relatively difficult.
In 1999, the Internet began to spread in China, and many Internet cafes sprung up all over the country. At that time, Li Xingping went on the Internet, and in the end, in order to solve his Internet problems, Li Xingping found a job as an Internet café administrator. Because after work, he wanted to save money to buy a computer by himself, so he thought of looking up computer accessories quotation information on the Internet. Later, he found that it was difficult to find information on the Internet, because Baidu did not appear at that time. And the Chinese website is not very rich, a large number of website domain names, at most can only remember one or two, a large number of others, he can't remember.
At this time, he thought of a solution. He designed a personal web page for himself, collected websites that he thought was good, and linked to them. The next time he goes online, he can easily go directly to these commonly used websites. At that time, this website was purely for the convenience of online entertainment, searching for knowledge, searching for information, etc.
It was only later that he found that many of the friends who came to the Internet café to surf the Internet did not know how to surf the Internet, and they did not know where to find the content they needed after surfing the Internet. At that time, the cost of Internet access was very expensive, about four or five yuan an hour, but time and money were often lost in luxury.
This is not conducive to the development of Internet cafes, because for new users, they come to Internet cafes to surf the Internet, but they do not experience the fun of the Internet, it is better to play arcade games and play a few games. At this time, he thought of his personal homepage. So, he began to consciously do the work of website address collection and classification, and he thought of making a "website encyclopedia" type of thing.
Half a year later, Li Xingping's personal homepage began to have the prototype of hao123, and the name he gave it at that time was "Website Daquan". He grouped the top 5,000 sites in China at the time into categories and grouped them together according to their uses. Then he started to do some click-through advertising and website affiliates, etc., and as the traffic increased, the fixed advertising industry of the website followed.
With the income of the website, he needs to officially register a name "hao123" that jumps into his mind at once. "I didn't think much about it at the time, and it didn't have any special meaning, I just thought it was simple and easy to remember." Thankfully, he thought of "hao", because this is easier for Chinese to use, not "greatest" or "wonderful" as in the international sense.
In this way, Li Xingping, who graduated from junior high school, became the father of "hao123" with a primitive instinct. In the mid-2000s, the hao123 website was basically formed and began to make money by clicking on ads. Although the bursting of the dot-com bubble has led to the sudden death of many websites, hao123 does not have a deep sense of the dots. "The initial advertising fee was about a few hundred yuan, and then the monthly income was 1,000 yuan, gradually to four or five thousand yuan, and in 2001 it reached tens of thousands of yuan."
It's just a pity that he didn't think of how to expand hao123 founded by Li Xingping. Perhaps, this also has something to do with the fact that he is managing alone. After all, after graduating from junior high school, he already feels very successful in the face of an income of tens of thousands of advertising expenses a month. What's more, with the development of the Internet, hao123 has been supported by many new generation netizens.
Until now, hao123's monthly advertising revenue has reached hundreds of thousands. However, Li Xingping, who is low-key, has been secretly doing this thing. Even, his friends around him didn't know that Li Xingping was the stationmaster of hao123. That's it, a website with such a far-reaching impact, actually relying on Li Xingping alone, updating the website there every day, thus achieving the status of hao123 today.
"Hello, I've heard Mr. Zhang's name for a long time."
With the development of hao123, Li Xingping also felt that he was not enough for business operations. Therefore, in the past two years, he has been making up for his business knowledge. Especially the development of the Tang Dynasty company, Li Xingping attaches great importance to it. Moreover, he has been researching all the time. Until now, Li Xingping has slowly developed from the beginning of junior high school to a qualified Internet leader. ,
Recently, for example, he has been thinking about Baidu.
Because, he feels that he cooperates with Baidu, and it seems that Baidu has given him a lot of advertising money. However, as the new generation of netizens became old users, they ended up using Baidu directly instead of hao123. In this way, hao123 has cultivated a super big competitor for a little profit.
Moreover, now Baidu, relying on its excellent search function, has firmly surpassed many Internet companies. Judging from this trend, it is also a matter of time before it surpasses the new/làng, NetEase. However, my hao123 seems to have only increased a little bit compared with the original few years, but the old customers have not been retained at all.
Iron battalions, flowing soldiers.
A large circle of users starts with hao123 and learns about the whole world, the whole Internet. Then, a large circle of users, after they became familiar with the Internet, abandoned hao123 and began their more convenient Internet life. I have to say that this dilemma has been bothering Li Xingping until now, and he doesn't know how to solve it now.
"It seems that Mr. Li has been very annoyed lately."
Zhang Zixian's ability to observe Yan Guan is very good, and he can see Li Xingping's slight distress.
"Oh, yes, it looks like Mr. Zhang knows me very well, no, he should know hao123 very well."
Li Xingping was a little depressed, and Zhang Zixian admired him. However, his admiration is admiration. However, let Zhang Zixian run to his own company, then he will be unhappy. There are many reasons, why did Tang Dynasty Company come to your company if it had nothing to do. There seems to be nothing else but acquisitions. Moreover, with the wealth of the Tang Dynasty company, he really can't resist it.
It seems that we have to find some ways to fight for as many rights as possible.
Li Xingping is no longer the original Li Xingping, and now he also has some small schemes.
"Haha, if you don't know your company, how would you think of coming here?"
The Tang Dynasty Company has always been sure to make a quick move after seeing it, without giving any opponent a chance. This time when he came to hao123, it was the same, Zhang Zixian was fully prepared, no matter how Li Xingping took it.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang is powerful, I can't compare. I don't know if Mr. Zhang came to us, do you have any cooperation? Of course, we are also very willing to cooperate with Tang Dynasty, and I think this is a good start for both of us. ”
"Well, yes, I came to your company today to cooperate with hao123."
Zhang Zixian smiled, this negotiation was relatively easy. Because, Tang Dynasty Company has already set the domestic Internet pattern. Generally speaking, the things he comes to negotiate are all sure things, and he will make it clear to you directly, and don't turn around. It's best if you're willing, and if you're not willing, Tang Dynasty Company also has a way to make you willing.
"What cooperation?"
Li Xingping laughed, pretending to be interested.
"We at Tang Dynasty Company feel that hao123 is a good website, and we are ready to wholly acquire hao123 to bring hao123 to a wider height......"
If it is only a hundred thousand yuan of advertising revenue a month, it is not what Tang Dynasty Company wants. On the official website of the Tang Dynasty, any few advertisements can be earned. Besides, Zhang Zixian's monthly income is more than 100,000 yuan. The reason why we want to acquire hao123 is that hao123 has the value of acquisition. Of course, the current hao123 and its founders have not yet seen his potential. Perhaps, it has been seen, but it has not yet been implemented.
It doesn't matter, though. For the acquisition of the Tang Dynasty company, there was not much impact.
"No problem, what about the conditions?"
Li Xingping looked very calm, and as soon as Zhang Zixian finished speaking, he nodded directly in agreement. This surprised Zhang Zixian, but this move gave Zhang Zixian the prepared rhetoric. He was still thinking about how to persuade each other with good words. In the end, if you can't persuade you, then you will directly threaten. Unexpectedly, Li Xingping readily agreed.
"It seems that this Li Xingping is not as simple as on his resume."
At this time, Zhang Zixian knew that the Li Xingping in front of him was no longer the Li Xingping who had just become Chinese.
"10 million yuan wholly-owned acquisition."
This is not Zhang Zixian's final acquisition, this is just a test price.
It should be said that the price is a bit low. Especially after Zhang Zixian's research, he felt more and more that the potential of hao123 was really great. His value is far from advertising for others. Instead, he can control Internet access throughout China through his own connection management.
I want to block the new /làng and remove the new /làng URL directly on hao123. I want to ban NetEase, and it's the same. In the same way, if I want to support Renren.com, directly mention the connection of jiāo Renren on hao123, and if it is more direct, it can be identified in red sè font on it.
Of course, this can only control new netizens, and it is useless for old netizens. However, China is so big, and new users are emerging in an endless stream. It is far from being developed, and hao123 is the best weapon to control new netizens.
As long as you win hao123, even Baidu will be in awe of three points. Because Baidu doesn't know, hao123 will consider ending its cooperation with Baidu, and then support other search engines, or develop its own search engine. Yes, the current hao123 is fully capable of this.
This is what Chen Jiayi said: "Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." ”
