Chapter 330: Then make a village super
It should be said that the first generation of Internet companies will always have a long process of burning money.
On the one hand, apart from the Internet advertising business, there is no other profit model to be found; On the other hand, the labor cost such as the program ape, plus the hardware cost such as the server, is too expensive.
And if you want to increase the number of customers and visits, you can only use free mailboxes, free new media and other methods. These methods are particularly server-eating, and can only be added continuously.
It was not until around 2000 that with the improvement of Internet network construction, hardware prices plummeted, and mobile value-added services appeared. It also happened to encounter the bursting of the Internet bubble, many Internet start-ups had no capital investment, and the price of hardware also plummeted. Some large factories have been able to eat small fish with big fish, further enhancing their monopoly position.
This is finally gaining a foothold!
Because of this, don't look at the outside world's hype of the Internet concept, in fact, the financial statements of various large manufacturers ...... It's miserable! Almost all of them are burning money.
That's why the Internet generation has become a netscape. In fact, they are a software company, not a pure Internet company. Moreover, the rejection of portals, let alone free e-mail and other services, tries to avoid all "meaningless" money burning.
Of course, at this time, Netscape's financial statements are very beautiful, and they are also sought after by the market, putting them on the throne of a generation.
As for Yahoo Internet? Don't mention it. Let's hope for a bright future!
This also includes parallel lines. Although Li Yuan tried his best to avoid the business of burning money, and also tried to outsource some non-core business, he couldn't avoid adding a program ape, right? You can't avoid adding servers, right? There are also PL communities (parallel line communities) and PL games (parallel line games) that need to be developed.
Therefore, the financial statements ...... A small loss is a win. It's slightly better than Yahoo (not as big as Yahoo), but it's also a money-burning life.
Moreover, Parallel Line Technology is still relatively "not doing business". Therefore, the reputation in Silicon Valley is not very good, and even the perception of investors is quite skeptical.
However, this operation of the tree of life has increased the expected income by hundreds of thousands of dollars (agency fees) all of a sudden? Therefore, in the evaluation report of Wall Street, Parallel Line Technology has magically turned a profit?
This has taken a large wave of investors by surprise. Can you still play like this? If you don't do your job, you can play new tricks?
But before those investors could react, major religious groups in the United States gave sponsorships one after another - $1 million for evangelicals, $1 million for the Catholic Diocese of Los Angeles, and $1 million for Mormons......
The religious atmosphere in Europe and the United States is relatively strong. In other words, outside of Chinese mainland, the religious atmosphere is relatively strong.
Sectarianism in the United States is again in turmoil. From the spread of Orthodoxy to the psychic medium dancing god, there are all kinds of tricks anyway.
And don't think that religion is more conservative. When it comes to spreading the faith, they are really willing to spend money, and they are willing to spend a lot of money. After discovering the new media of the Internet, they have long wanted to occupy this channel.
A $1 million sponsorship fee is a small matter. It's nothing more than buying an admission ticket. Of course, there are also cats in it. If you're interested, you can search for a revolving door!
But whatever? This surprised Silicon Valley - what kind of parallel lines can still play like this? How many new ways do you guys have to play?
Ahem! There are new ways to play, of course!
Immediately afterwards, several major funeral associations in North America issued a joint statement - we will carry out in-depth strategic cooperation with Parallel Line Technology, and recommend all members to join the Parallel Line community. Give customers better care......
The funeral industry in the United States has its own characteristics, and they are basically made up of independent family companies that only serve their own surrounding areas. The customer stickiness is relatively strong, and the business source is guaranteed by drought and flood. There is no way to ensure the harvest without drought and flood, and there is no peak season and hot season for that thing.
The other is obscurity and seems to be inconspicuous. In fact, they are all small millionaires. The status in the local area is quite high. For example, at the beginning of "The Godfather", the old godfather's friend, his funeral company is like this, specializing in serving Italians in the neighborhood. Later, the eldest son of the old godfather who was shot was reined in......
Therefore, these funeral companies can pay a membership fee every year to get the value-added services of the parallel line. For example, is a person's life, from birth to old age all the photographic data?
Imagine that sticky ...... Can you still escape? I don't care about the small amount of money!
Such a dazzling operation simply made Wall Street and Silicon Valley men and women cry. Please, how much more do you have to do? Although it may seem like a bad business, the long-term benefits are quite considerable, right?
Because whether it is religion or funeral, it has an extremely strong exclusivity. As long as the customer is willing to choose, it is almost impossible to switch to another company?
That's a constant supply of gold! And it's not one, the parallel lines occupy two at once!
At this time, Parallel Line Technology, which received a large amount of sponsorship and membership fees, finally announced that it would set up a European headquarters in Ireland before the end of this year; In the first half of next year, the Australian and Asian headquarters will be established in Australia and Benzi. Dedicated to providing services to users around the world......
Needless to say, the valuation of Parallel Line Technology has been raised directly to $410 million. Morgan Stanley quickly launched the next round of funding......

Just when the outside world was disturbing, Li Yuan finally came to Hong Kong again......
"Snow Mom...... What's at the door? โ
"Li Sheng, that is the bronze mirror that the master has opened. I heard that it can ward off evil spirits. โ
The eldest lady was lying on the sofa, holding her big belly, and munching on the apple triumphantly: "Hehe, Xiao Yuanzi, wait for the next national team competition, I will take this bronze mirror to ward off evil spirits!" Hahaha! โ
โโฆโฆโ
Li Yuan was speechless.
This demon mirror should be useless to the national football team, right? If you want to go up, you have to go directly to the fairy sword! Knock down those grandchildren! Ahem. Anyway, it's good that the eldest lady is happy!
However, Huang Jiaojiao was not happy, and was very dissatisfied with Li Yuan's attitude, and the eldest lady's temper broke out directly: "Li Yuan! I find out that you are biased against the national team! You are discrimination! โ
Li Yuan: โ_โ
"Li Yuan! I'm a fan forever! โ
"Okay!" Li Yuan laughed in his heart, what is this woman crazy about?
"I'm buying a domestic club! I want to be the president of the club! โ
"Huh?" Li Yuan was almost not scared to pee. It was one hell of a challenge!
Huang Jiaojiao held back a smile, but she was triumphant: "I found that the use of football for promotion has a particularly good effect." Don't forget, I'm the CEO of Wild Mountain Springs! Hum! โ
"Alas!" Li Yuan scratched his scalp, this is really a dead knot! If you are in this period, Huang Jiaojiao's statement must be correct. But who can know that the lower limit of the national football team is that there is no lower limit? How many club owners have not been able to end up, and some have even been ruined?
Suddenly, Li Yuan had an idea: "Jiaojiao, let's do it!" Let's not care about the national football team, let's directly sponsor the village super! โ
"Murachao?"
"That's right! Country Super League. โ
"Poofโโ! Huang Jiaojiao laughed directly, "Xiao Yuanzi, you are so old-fashioned!" Giggles! โ
"Don't laugh, don't laugh. Listen to me: Yeshan Qingquan will have another allotment in the second half of the year, and another allotment in the first half of next year. Wait until the summer World Cup, and comprehensively promote it in the Greater China region. Wait until the next World Cup, and promote it to major markets around the world. โ
Huang Jiaojiao was a little strange: "Isn't this something that has been discussed a long time ago?" That and the countryside...... Hehe, what's the matter with you, a fellow countryman? โ
"Don't worry, don't worry." Li Yuan said with a smile, "Since it will be promoted next summer, it will require a lot of promotion fees." The main thing is the advertising of major TV stations. When the World Cup is over, we need to strike while the iron is hot, and we will also need a lot of advertising money. From then on, we will spend a lot of money on advertising every year, and we will also promote other new beverage products. โ
"Since we need to advertise, why don't we sponsor the village super? First of all, let's introduce the concept of the village super - all players are amateurs and are not paid except for a small allowance. No advertising endorsements, no income from using the player's identity. We are swaying our passionate youth, not for fame and fortune, only for dreams, all for the village super champion! โ
Huang Jiaojiao was suspicious: "Xiao Yuanzi, an amateur? Will anyone watch it? โ
"You can go and see the N, their March Madness, the whole of America will be a sensation, even the NBA will give way. The ratings for the Finals are higher than those for the NBA. Let's take a look at the Jade Dragon Banner of the book. It's also the highest-rated program in the book.ใ And all the players are high school students (high school students). I found that no, although the level is not high, they are all amateurs, but fans love to watch this. On the pitch are all good kids who grew up around us. They work hard, how can we not support it? And the 64 teams in the finals, one game will determine the winner or loser, either you die or I live? How exciting is that? โ
"Huh? China is so big, only 64 teams? โ
"Hey! I'm talking about the finals! Other local events can be improved in the future. For example, each commune has its own league. Just give it a name, like a fat pig tournament, a big tree tournament, ....... How else is it called the Country Super League? Let the bottom team have fun. Then the first-level machine hits up. Take the year as a season. You don't need to worry about this, you can find a professional when the time comes. โ
"Do you want to start from the bottom? How many teams do you need to sponsor? โ
"Girl, are you stupid? Isn't it amateurish? You just sponsor jerseys and shoes. Tens of millions a year. Doesn't the advertising cost of Yeshan Qingquan still need tens of millions? And you can also go outside and pull sponsors. There are also advertising fees, broadcast fees, and so on for the finals. Is it okay to make a good profit? โ
"Huh? Still making money? โ
"Huh? What do you want? The village super can make money, but you must not have any benefits personally? The benefits you can get, the Yeshan Qingquan brand is equivalent to every village in Greater China overnight, how much advertising money can buy back? In addition, you are the chairman of the village super! The one sitting in the center of the podium. โ
"That's not interesting, I'm fame and fortune now. Hey. Huang Jiaojiao said with a ducible smile.
"Fool, although you can't take money, you can use money to support youth training? If you even have extra words, you can donate them to the exchange of young players in friendly countries? If you do this, you won't offend anyone. A philanthropist who supports amateur ball games and youth training, who would speak ill of her? And the status is as high as dozens of floors. In the past, when you went out to eat, you couldn't sit at your grandfather's main table, and you couldn't even go up to the table of the eldest brother and second brother. From now on you will be the one sitting at the Lord's table. On an equal footing with them? โ
"It's done!" Huang Jiaojiao was already so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, showing her decisiveness and other fat sheep nature, "Xiao Yuanzi, as a wise CEO, I decided to sponsor that village super!" I'll make you the chief dogleg. Hahaha! โ
"Don't laugh. If you become the chairman, you just need to find a secretary-general. The Secretary-General is left to the Secretary-General. Oh, and don't forget, there are a few places left for Hong Kong and Macau. โ
"Huh? Are we also a countryman? โ
"Nonsense! So-so, count it as a countryman! Do you understand national entertainment? Don't you Hong Kong boys want to be on the national stage? โ
"Do I need to contact the Football Association?"
"What the hell is going on with them? We are a folk amateur competition. Enjoyment! Non-profit social event! Remember: we have nothing to do with the authorities! We are a group of people who love football! We're not here to make money! We only have hot-blooded youth! โ
"Uh-huh, that'...... You are the Secretary-General! I'm barely sitting on the podium! Hee-hee. โ
"I'm not interested. You have no idea how busy I am. Now don't come to me for you mortal things, I only care about high technology! โ
"Whew! I want to put gold on my face! Hum. โ
"Huh."
What Li Yuan learned from is that after the rise of short videos, the village super and village BA suddenly exploded at home and abroad. This proves that the mass base has always been there, and it is the pot of those bastards.
And after a few decades, the people have been disheartened by the national football team, which can still cause the people to be angry. At least the A-League is enthusiastic now, so it won't be worse than it will be in a few decades, right?
โฆโฆ
While laughing, Xue Ma smiled and said, "Li Sheng, Mrs., the meal is ready." Today's main course is pasta. My wife can't touch the seafood, so I prepared a flavored meat sauce for her. โ
Li Yuan helped Huang Jiaojiao up, and the eldest lady was still complaining: "Why haven't you come out yet?" Children are annoying. โ
"Huh."
"I almost forgot, why did you come so late? Don't know my due date? โ
"Alas! I don't want to, huh? You don't even know how busy I am? If it weren't for the listing of Daifuku Media tomorrow, I would still be in Fujian Province now. โ
"Fujian Province? What the hell are you going to ...... for you?"
