SoftBank, DIG, and Keying invested in Hongyan...... Hongyan is the company established by the founders who were kicked out of TX, and just by looking at the name, you know that the main direction of attack is instant messengers!

This news made Yang Fan stunned for a moment, dig, Keying was expected, but Softbank got on the bus. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info To be honest, in recent years, SoftBank Masayoshi Son has almost become the emperor of the Internet, and before the NASDAQ avalanche, his assets almost exploded Bill Gates and became the richest man in the world. However, a NASDAQ avalanche has shrunk most of his assets.

Of course, although the previous Son Masayoshi was more influential in the world, he still has to wait ten years in China to be talked about for his investment in AL. In fact, investing in Yahoo, SD, and AL can be said to be SoftBank's success.

Son's influence is great, especially on Yahoo, which stands at the pinnacle of the Internet......

Although this year, because of the Nasdaq avalanche, Yahoo's influence has shrunk a lot. You must know that last year, the soaring Yahoo market value was close to 100 billion US dollars, surpassing Berkshire, which Buffett had struggled for most of his life. Many people online have even derided Berkshire as a mediocre insurance company with a mixture of bizarre assets, including several candy stores, hamburger kiosks, jewelry stores, a shoe factory and a third-rate encyclopedia company.

Who would have thought that by 15 years, Berkshire's market capitalization would be about $350 billion, which is $320 billion more than Yahoo!

Similarly, last year's Microsoft was more than $500 billion, although its annual sales were only more than $10 billion, and similarly, in 15 years, Microsoft's market value was less than $400 billion, but its revenue increased a lot, reaching $87 billion.

There are also some other technology stocks that used to call for wind and rain in 99 years, but they have not been able to return to last year's price in 15 years, which shows the popularity of the Internet at that time.

Countless people are stimulated by the sudden rich-rich effect of Internet companies, and almost all operators, investors and entrepreneurs have set their sights on technological innovation that can bring short-term economic benefits.

So last year's Masayoshi Son almost became the richest man in the world because of these......

Last year, no one would have believed Warren Buffett's statement that we don't own stocks in tech companies, even if we believe that our society will change because of their products and services. But our question is, or one that can't be answered by research, we simply don't know which players in the tech world have a real long-term competitive advantage......

And this year, no one can believe it!

Despite this, Son Masayoshi's influence in the Internet industry is still extremely high, at least Yahoo is still the No. 1 Internet website, far from being comparable to Qihang...... If it weren't for QQ's strong first-mover advantage, Yang Fan would really not have confidence in this group of opponents now.

Sina and Sohu are standing at the commanding heights of the domestic Internet at this time, and the funds of Softbank, DIG, and Keying are not comparable to Qihang, and their influence is far beyond Qihang.

In this regard, Ye Qingwan asked puzzledly, "Where did they get the confidence to defeat TX, TX is already on the right track?" ”

Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders, "MSN has been capturing the ICQ market around the world with Microsoft's huge resources. Although ICQ is still the number one brand of instant messaging, anyone with a discerning eye can see that MSN is more promising, and these people also decided based on this. ”

To be honest, if it weren't for China's piracy, MSN, which only entered the country in 03 and 04, would have been in jeopardy. Even in the case of piracy everywhere, the speed of MSN's development has made TX frightened, and even frightened, and it can't even compete with MSN in high-end enterprise users......

"Huh?" Ye Qingwan screamed in surprise, and after thinking about it, she said, "It's different, Microsoft can use the method of system binding, but Sina and Sohu can't let anyone who doesn't open their webpage install Hongyan first." ”

Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders, if it weren't for the existence of their competitor NetEase, they wouldn't dare to do this, "They can launch the client of the chat room, and then bind it to Hongyan, now Sina, Sohu chat room is still very large, gathering a lot of users, so that there can be millions more registered users, and even through their email users to integrate!" ”

After listening to Yang Fan's analysis, Ye Qingwan opened her mouth slightly......

If it is really Yang Fan's analysis, then Hongyan may really pose a threat to QQ. Don't look at the tens of millions of QQ users now, and the number of online users during peak periods is also millions, but Sina, Sohu's chat rooms, and email users are all millions or even tens of millions. If Hongyan can convert some of these users, it will start with millions of registered users and hundreds of thousands of online people, and then with Sina, Sohu has more resources now, and it is really possible to slowly squeeze the space of QQ.

Thinking about it, Ye Qingwan asked puzzledly, "Why are they all involved?" ”

Why get involved!

It's not too strange to say, maybe you see the prospect of TX, maybe you feel the threat of setting sail.

Today's Qihang carries the Qihang game, TX, BD, the upcoming Qihang Mall, and even includes some messy, but a bunch of sub-second-tier websites that occupy a leading and even notifying position in their respective sub-categories, and now Qihang has been integrating, forming a sign of group warfare. Don't look at Sina, Sohu has a market capitalization of billions, which seems higher than all the companies combined, but once several of them are listed, according to their performance, they will easily bypass these portals in a position in more promising industries.

The most important thing is that the discerning people in these portals are increasingly finding that their development speed is not as fast as Qihang, not only the development speed is not as good, but even the upper limit of development is not as good as ......

After a long groan, Yang Fan said, "Go and contact NetEase and express that Qihang wants to have strategic cooperation with them!" ”

Although NetEase is already developing games, there are signs of entering online games, and it is also a potential competitor of Qihang, but compared with Sina and Sohu, Yang Fan still wants to cooperate with NetEase.

First of all, among the three major portals now, NetEase is the smallest, and similarly, Ding Lei's control over the company is also the most stable, such as Sina's founder Wang Zhidong will even be kicked out of Sina next year, and then Sina will change from an Internet company to an operating company.

With NetEase's game, Sohu's Sogou input method, browsers, and even search engines, Sina, the former leader of the portal, looks more and more down, and then it took a desperate gamble to make Sina improve, but Sina has not found Weibo's profit model, and then with the weakening of Weibo, it began to fall behind, Sohu is also falling behind as a whole, and Sogou is supporting, and NetEase is now the third in the three portals......
