Actually I just want to act

Chapter 50 Here comes the money giver

"Cheng Dong, the news on our surfing website suddenly increased by [-]% yesterday!"

Cheng Dongquan, the founder of Surf.com, just came to the company in Yanjing when he heard his subordinates say this sentence.

Cheng Dongquan is actually a headache, because Surf.com has already completed the first three rounds of financing, but the war of burning money has just begun.Surf.com's main business is still a portal website.In fact, there are quite a few such portals in China, and even more in the United States.And China's Internet (the habit of addressing at this time) is following the pace of the United States.But the problem is that none of the current portals have news authorization.In other words, in fact, Surf.com is an Internet company that walks in a gray area.

In the parallel world, Sina.com was officially approved to publish news business on December 2000, 12, and became the first batch of Chinese private commercial websites to obtain the above-mentioned permission. On December 27, 2000, Sina.com officially obtained the business license for telecommunications and information services, and became the first batch of private commercial websites that were approved to operate Internet information services.

It can be said that, in fact, the survival of portal websites is difficult, and they are barely supported by advertisements.But advertising is also linked to page views.Even the United States, where the Internet economy is in a severe bubble, is unwilling to invest more in surfing the Internet, knowing that the market prospect is actually not good.With the intrusion of official media websites, Cheng Dongquan, the founder of Surf.com, was also anxious. He was thinking all day long, how to increase the number of page views of the website so as to attract more advertisements.Of course, Cheng Dongquan won't just sit still. He has set his sights on the future wireless mobile network market, and has already begun to lay out ringtones, MMS, SMS, JAVA, IVR, etc. in advance.But all of these will cost money. Surf.com has not yet obtained the listing qualification of Meilijian, and the funds are stretched.

Hearing the soaring number of views, Cheng Dongquan immediately asked: "Is there any explosive news?"

The employee shook his head and said, "No, our news is no different from other portals."

Cheng Dongquan frowned, and asked inexplicably, "Why is this happening?"

"Already checking. And what's strange is that the headlines have a lot of views, and only one headline, while the other headlines have dropped a lot and tended to the normal level." The employees were also surprised.

At this moment, an employee of the technical department shouted loudly: "I know, because of this!"

Cheng Dongquan was not unhappy, because the working atmosphere inside Surf.com was like this.

The employee happily asked: "Have you found out the reason?"

The employee of the technical department said: "Because of a navigation website called hao123, this website grabbed our news headlines and attracted many users to click on it!"

Cheng Dongquan is also a business person with an extremely keen sense of smell. He understood the navigation website when he heard it: "A navigation website, has such power?!" He came to the side of the employee in the technical department and saw the interface of hao123 for the first time.Yes, the page is simple yet exquisite, and the response speed is extremely fast.It may be because of the morning, if it is at night, the server of hao123 will be crowded and explode.

Cheng Dongquan followed the mouse of the staff of the technical department, and soon saw the news on his own website.

"How did they grab it?"

Cheng Dongquan asked in surprise and joy, "Can we make this navigation website?"

The staff in the technical department thought for a while and said: "Give us a month, we should be able to do this. But the response speed and completeness of the webpage, I am afraid it will take two months to debug. After three months, I don't know if it can be done." Entered this market. Moreover, I saw that this navigation website does not have advertisements, which means that it is difficult to make a profit.”

Cheng Dongquan thought for a while, and then smiled wryly: "No, you are wrong. This navigation website does not rely on advertisements for profit, they rely on our websites."

The seemingly high-level employee seemed to understand: "That is to say, as long as they control the navigation users, they can guide users to our website? So..."

"So, some colleagues should have noticed this navigation website, and they may have been in contact with it, and they are ready to spend money so that this navigation website will only push news from their portal." Cheng Dongquan patted the table, "How to contact this navigation website Website? We want to get the best recommended position of this navigation website, at the very least, we have to sign a contract for half a year to obtain stable traffic, and then convert the traffic into our users!"

Cheng Dongquan still didn't say a word. If he can get users, he is confident to get several hundred million more financing.

If the financing cannot be obtained, I am afraid that Surf.com will die suddenly.Of course, the most important thing is to go public.

Many Internet companies are like this, because they burn money in the early stage.If you don't burn money for a few years, there is no hope of making money at all.Even if the portal website has advertising and other income, it is still a drop in the bucket, not enough to rent a server.

Surfing.com's story is not alone.

Similar stories began to be staged in large and small Internet website companies.As for the official media website?They don't care if it's good or not.But there is no way, they are official media, and they are indeed powerful.It seems that once the official media in the previous life embraced the new media, the momentum of development is simply unmatched by the self-media!

However, the paper media and official media are still very powerful these days, and people are not used to using the Internet to obtain news sources.

Most of the young people in Internet cafes just play games.Moreover, most of the time it is also a networked stand-alone competitive game, similar to StarCraft, Red Alert, Warcraft, Age of Empires, CS and the like in the parallel world.I have to say that this kind of game is really enduring. Looking at the MOBA games in the parallel world, such as LOL and kings are still very popular. You must know that MOBA games started around 2003.

Speaking of the website, the website in the world in 2000 was still in the era of barbaric growth, and it is precisely this way that Fang Zhiming has room for entrepreneurship.

If in a few years, if you want to make a big move, don't expect it if you don't have a few million start-up funds.

Fang Jiming was also very puzzled, why when he just returned to his aunt's house, turned on the computer, maintained the website, and then opened the mailbox, there were dozens of extra emails.

If you take a closer look, they all want to cooperate, or even meet each other.To put it bluntly, they are all here to send money.Of course, they are also looking for profit, because these days, Fang Jiming has successfully launched hao123, covering about 100 million netizens.

There is no way, online games are a bit crazy these days, just a support device, and hao123 has already been promoted.Not to mention, hao123 is not only a bit of a hooligan, but also bound to the homepage of the Internet, which can't help but be easy to use!
