On Chinese New Year's Eve, except for Fan Ting and her two who went back to keep vigil with her mother-in-law's house for the New Year, everyone else was lively here in Beijing.
The Spring Festival Gala program has developed to a bottleneck, for most audiences, it can be said that it is a chicken rib, making it tasteless and a pity to abandon it, besides, the New Year, basically every station is broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala, and several other satellite TV channels will also be subject to some restrictions, which causes everyone to continue to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
In other words, while everyone makes dumplings and plays mahjong, it is not unbearable to look at them casually, but in this Chinese New Year's Eve party, there are fewer and fewer programs that can be called classics.
Fan Heng's family is naturally no exception, in addition to the family, there are also these guards of Fan Heng at home, Fan Wuxian and Fan Kang's bodyguards, chefs and nannies in charge of household work, basically stay here for the New Year, so it is more lively.
The hall of Fan's house is larger, Fan Wuxian planned it, and commanded everyone to decorate the house with a festive atmosphere, and the warm colors of the whole red form a strong contrast with the snow scene outside, which makes people feel that spring is strong as soon as they come in, and it is another New Year.
There is a lot of strength in people, and it won't take a while to dumplings. It was wrapped, and after dinner, everyone opened a few mahjong tables in the house, and the whole hall was full of noise, which if the police station heard it, maybe it was going to come to the door to catch the gambling.
In fact, Fan Wuxian and they did pay for it.
The Fan family is for the nannies and guards. The treatment has always been very good, in addition to receiving the government salary and allowance that they deserve, Fan Wuxi will give them a few more red envelopes during the New Year's holidays, as a thank you, after a long time, naturally many people rush to come to Fan's house to serve.
Later, Fan Wuxi felt that doing so seemed to be. A little swaggering, so I changed the rules, and only at the end of the year and Chinese New Year's Eve will send money, which is a big red envelope a year. In addition, the gambling funds for playing mahjong are also provided by Fan Wuxi, the amount is definitely not small, for this part of the table income, everyone's traditional treatment plan is to see the difference at the table, and finally the winner will take out most of the money, and then everyone goes out to spend together, and have fun together, even if the year is over.
Because this treatment is gentle, everyone is at the table. The face is just a happy picture, but there will be no blushing and thick neck, it's just that at the end of the day, everyone says who has better luck.
"The cross talk of the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse and worse, and I can't see any bright spots." Fan. Heng is an old cross talk fan, when he was in the Pingyuan Factory before, he was more interested in this, and he once followed the people in the trade union to perform for employees, but then he gradually became a cadre, so he didn't have time to get that, but when it comes to this topic, he still misses it.
"The song program is also very different." Zhang Mei played her cards together, and said to everyone, "In the past, one person sang eight songs, but now eight people sing one song, and the quality of the program has not improved, and there are more and more people who want to come up and mingle with each other." ”
Fan Kang touched his mother. Zhang Mei's 40,000 yuan was a three, and then pouted and said, "Is this the result of the operation of the entertainment company in a short time?" The entertainment company without disease specializes in this, and every year before the Spring Festival Gala, there are always many people who come to buy their company's performance quotas at a high price, and this alone makes their company earn tens of millions. ”
Fan Wuxian smiled hesitantly, this matter is the truth.
At the beginning, there was an agreement between him and CCTV, among the programs of the Spring Festival Gala, some of the places were reserved for him to use, for this part of the places, he has the right to decide on the specific arrangements for use, and CCTV is to review whether these programs are suitable, and cannot question the specific arrangements for the program.
In this way, although it is a show, if Fan Wuxian is willing, it is not too outrageous to stuff five or six people into it, after all, it is now a market economy, and the leading idea of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala is also operating around this theme, and because they have too many relationships to take care of, they sometimes greet Fan Wuxi, hoping to buy back some of Fan Wuxi's places to use.
However, the direct consequence of this is that the Spring Festival Gala is getting longer and longer than in previous years.
At the beginning, it was generally after the clock rang at zero o'clock, and the party was over, but in recent years, it has dragged on for a long time, even if it has passed a little more, it may not be able to finish, this is the end of the operation of entertainment companies, everyone needs to launch their own newcomers through such a stage that is highly concerned by the people of the whole country, of course, the Spring Festival Gala is still the first choice battlefield, after all, it is still the party with the highest degree of attention.
And there is another point that is very important, that is, the number of reruns of the Spring Festival Gala program in the first month, which is quite a lot, and even the audience inside can leave a deep impression on everyone, not to mention the actors who occupy most of the shots?
Fan Heng was not very interested in mahjong, and Fan Wuxian was not very interested, so after a while, the two fathers and sons retreated, sat aside, watched TV, and chatted by the way.
However, Fan Wuxian put his laptop aside, connected to the broadband network, clicked casually, and wandered around the major portals.
There is a jubilant scene on the Internet, thanks to the stimulation of the hot NASDAQ market, coupled with angel investors like Fan Kang for the major websites to invest, many websites have received a large amount of financing, after having money, it is natural to plan well for development, the Spring Festival is a traditional festival, it is indeed not to be ignored.
For the three major portals, Fan Wuxian hopes that they will be able to list on the NASDAQ within the year, so in addition to allowing Fan Kang to inject funds in advance to obtain a larger proportion of equity, he supports them to contact investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to actively discuss the listing.
For now, several major investment banks are still very enthusiastic about the three major domestic portals, after all, the success of the Yahoo model makes everyone feel profitable, and the Chinese concept is a trump card that can gain everyone's attention in the NASDAQ market, and it is relatively easy to operate and go public.
It's just that the scale of financing can be large and the profit you can get is unexpected.
For the most famous Huafeng network in Chinese mainland, several major investment banks are also very enthusiastic, and the degree of interest is even higher than the three major portals, but at this time, Fan Wuxian has the idea of not letting Huafeng Online go public, and the other party has no choice but to retreat.
"Do you have a way to make money on that website?" Fan Heng looked at the things that his son was fiddling with, and asked a question that he had been holding back for a long time.
On the question of how the website is profitable, everyone has not been clear, and Fan Heng has also asked some people, especially those who run the website, but obviously they are also vague, and they all say that after going to the NASDAQ listing, the money will come.
But Fan Heng thought that if there is no way to make a profit, and there is no hope of making a profit, why should other investors buy your stocks? Is it just to help your website produce billionaires for the sake of obligation? Americans have been investing for so long, how can such stupid investors appear?
"That's a good question!" Fan Wuxian laughed for a moment, and then said, "In fact, although there are many websites imitating Yahoo or imitating Amazon online bookstores, portal websites or e-commerce websites, and some professional websites, at this time, the domestic network environment and physical resource environment are far from meeting the conditions that can support the profitability of so many websites." Therefore, for the time being, the best website can get a small part of the profit, and in short, if you want to develop, you still need to continue to burn money. ”
"You mean, there's not a single website that can be profitable yet?" Fan Heng asked.
Fan Wuxian nodded and replied, "That's true, even if it's our Huafeng Network, it's actually just burning money, but we have an entity foundation, using the network to publish the advertisements of its various enterprises, and making the operation of Huafeng Network through the return of advertising costs, so now we can basically achieve profit and loss." ”
"Oh, so that means that once your advertising results are reflected and you get an ad order from an external company, the day of profitability is not far off?" Fan Heng asked after hearing this.
"That's not wrong at all, in fact, the main profits are achieved through advertising, and then, the website has developed, the number of netizens has increased, and there will be some value-added services, which is part of the guarantee of profit." Fan replied.
"I remember you have that paid email address on your website, it's something like that, right?" Fan Heng asked with a smile.
Fan Wuxian nodded, then remembered something, and said, "Ah, I almost forgot, this year I want to give you a special New Year's gift." ”
As soon as they heard Fan Wuxian say that he wanted to give everyone a New Year's gift, everyone immediately put their ears up, Fan Wuxian made a move, it would not be a bad thing, it was still more exciting.
"If you like to surf the Internet, you all come to get a number, and then fill in your information." Fan Wuxian used the printer to type out dozens of five-digit numbers, and then let everyone choose by themselves, and there was a form at the back, which was to fill in some personal information or something, and also asked him to take a screen name.
Although I don't know what Fan Wuxian is going to do, but everyone has filled in according to the requirements, after handing it back, Fan Wuxian looked at it, and then said, "In the first month, our Huafeng network will launch a network instant messaging software, the name is called QQ, what you have received now is the number of this software, through this unique number, everyone can use QQ software to contact each other through the network, even if it is far abroad, you can also contact it, and there is one thing you can rest assured, There are no extra charges for this software, no matter how long you chat, no matter where you are, all you pay is the cost of surfing the Internet, and nothing else. ”
"If you're abroad, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than making international calls?" Fan Kang reacted immediately.
Fan Wuxian nodded with a smile and said, "That's true, so if you go abroad, you can use this to contact China, which is very convenient, provided that you can access the Internet there." ”
"Ha, it's rare to be out there without Internet access, it's just the difference in price." Fan Kang laughed.
In fact, what he said is also the truth, that is, in China, as long as you are willing to put up with the dial-up kitten, as long as there is a telephone line, you can connect to the Internet, at least, in the field to use the telephone line for a long time to chat, the cost is always much cheaper than using the phone to chat directly, at this time the long-distance fee is really expensive.
Most of the people in the house are more interested in this, mainly because they heard that it is something that does not require money, and some people also said that they want to play with relatives and friends.
Fan Wuxian said, "The numbers I give you are all reserved numbers, keep them well, others can apply online, they are all free, but they may not be able to apply for a five-digit number, generally speaking, there are more six-digit numbers now, and there are more people playing in the future, and the seven-digit, eight-digit, and nine-digit numbers are not enough." ”
"Hundreds of millions of people can't play it?" Some people think it's a bit unlikely, there are only a few million netizens now, and how long will it take to develop to hundreds of millions of people playing a small software?
"There weren't many people using Big Brother back then, but now it's all over the streets, right?" Fan Wuxian smiled.
In this way, it is also reasonable, so everyone asked Fan Wuxian to help apply for a new number, bring it to relatives and friends, Fan Wuxian was also happy to move his hand, and applied for ten in one go, and finally a dialog box popped up on the application page, prompting that you have applied for ten numbers in a row, and you can not apply for more numbers within 24 hours.
"Ha, I guess you've watched it for so long, and when the time comes, go back and apply for it yourself." Fan Wuxian said.
After everyone tossed for so long, the time reached midnight, and after watching the gas fireworks outside stop, everyone said Happy New Year to each other, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
Not long after Fan Wuxian lay down, he heard a knock on the door, and then saw Fan Kang sneaking in.
"Is there a condom? Borrow a few for use. Fan Kang said to his brother Fan Wuxian.
"You-" Fan Wuxi was speechless for a moment, "Do you want to use it?" ”
However, Fan Wuxian still turned over a box from his drawer and gave it to Fan Kang.
Fan Kang got the things and quietly slipped out again, but he didn't mention the precautions and shouted in the back, "There is a loan and a return!" ”
There are no pop-ups
