Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

However, soon Wang Xing came back to his senses and rubbed his head embarrassingly: "It's my habitual thinking. I used to start my own business, and I was always worrying about funds in my dreams, so I was thinking about how to make the data more beautiful. Then ask investors for money. Mr. Lu is more arrogant, I know what to do."

Hey, I'm not used to things like being poor for a long time and becoming rich now.

In fact, the reason why Wang Xing wanted to make the data more beautiful was because he was worried that he would not be able to communicate with Lu Yiming.

After all, many bosses are like this. They don't understand farts and just look at the data all day long.

He is happy when the data is good, and angry or even mad when the data is poor. As for the user experience of the product, the boss doesn't care at all.

After all, users are all leeks.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yiming not only understood, but also seemed to have a very high attainment in this area.

This made Wang Xing feel very admired.

It is much easier to deal with a boss who understands the specific business than to deal with a boss who knows nothing and knows how to direct blindly.

Lu Yiming thought about it, since the campus network has this name, it can be compatible with the next generation after exhausting the resources of college students.

So, he said: "It is definitely not possible to open registration to the whole society, but we can open registration to high school students first. Of course, in order to strictly control the high school version of the campus network, you need to be invited to register, and we must strictly review the identity of users."

Wang Xing was delighted when he heard it, and immediately said: "High school students are indeed worth fighting for. Many of them will become college students in the future, and they are our potential users."

Lu Yiming warned: "I only care about quality, not quantity. For me, the quality of social network users is very important, especially this kind of real-name social networking, which must not be messed up by some messy people. After high school students, we The scope of registration can be extended to employees of some large companies."

Lu Yiming's idea was very reasonable, which made Wang Xing very happy, and immediately took over the conversation and said: "Yes, the employees of large companies are basically graduated from prestigious schools, and their education is often relatively high, so they are really suitable as our target user group. "

Lu Yiming went on to say: "After stabilizing these core users, the campus network will be renamed Renren, add video functions, and then open registration to the whole society. But the time should be after 2007, and you still have two years to go. Get ready, work hard, a bright future awaits you."

After all, I have already bought Renren, so I still need to use it.

Moreover, the Internet has no memory, not to mention that Renren.com's distribution of pornography itself is not something that offends users. On the contrary, because of this "black history", some people will go to Renren.com to find this kind of content with this mentality. Increase traffic for Renren.com.

"Haha, it's all thanks to Mr. Lu's cultivation."

Although Lu Yiming is drawing cakes, but Wang Xing is happy, after all, if this project is completed, he will be able to save his first pot of gold, and he can also make friends with big men like the richest man Lu. If you come out to start your own business, you won't be beaten to death by your competitors with money without a backer.

2005 was a year worth remembering for Xia Guo's Internet.

Because it was this year that Xia Kingdom had more than [-] million netizens for the first time, becoming the second largest Internet country after the United States. The prospect was infinitely broad, and for investors, it was full of imagination.

At this time, in Xiaguo, the second wave of Internet companies going public in the United States is surging again.

The most notable of these is Focus Media.

As the largest outdoor video advertising operator in Xiaguo, Focus Media has been popular since its listing on NASDAQ on July 7. It rose 13% on the first day of trading, from $17 to $17 per share.

And Focus Media is also called the pioneer of Xiaguo's new advertising model by investors, and they are very optimistic about this advertising model.

Mizuki University.

In the boys' dormitory, Zhao Kehan ​​and Cao Hongchang saw this news on the computer, and then searched for other reports about Jiang Nanchun on the Internet.After watching Jiang Nanchun's entrepreneurial story, both of them were full of excitement.

The two of them are about to graduate from college, and they are now preparing for an internship.

Zhao Kehan ​​said: "The founder of Focus Media is an ordinary college student. After graduation, he went from a part-time job to starting a business. It can be called an inspirational template for starting from scratch."

After graduating, Jiang Nanchun joined the advertising industry. By chance, he saw the small advertisement on the elevator door and discovered the value of advertising in a specific location at the elevator entrance of the building.

If there is a TV advertisement in this location, it fully meets the four requirements for the success of new media, so Focus Media was established to create a new business model of building video advertisement.

Cao Hongchang said: "After I graduate, I have to work first before starting a business. An annual salary of one million is basic. Then I set a small goal for myself, to achieve financial freedom before the age of 30!"

Zhao Kehan ​​smiled and said, "If you have ambition, remember to fly with me if you succeed."

Cao Hongchang waved his hand and said, "Hey, I'm just bragging about it. I really thought it was so easy to start a business."

Zhao Kehan ​​pointed to the news on the computer screen and said: "There is also this. It is said that Focus Media is also invested by Lu's richest man, and the shareholding ratio is even higher than that of the founder Jiang Nanchun. Hey, I don't know how much Lu's richest man has earned right now. money."

Cao Hongchang was immediately envious: "It's another income, and it's too easy for the richest man in Lu to make money. His vision is invincible."

Zhao Kehan ​​suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but said curiously: "QQ has just stepped on MSN, and I don't know when Yixun Technology will be listed."

Cao Hongchang asked, "Why are you worrying about this?"

Zhao Kehan ​​disdainfully said: "What are you doing? How else can I say that you are useless if I give you a chance to make money? Of course it is to buy the shares of Yixun Technology. Think about it. The richest man Lu invests in other companies. Technology is owned by the richest man in Lu, so how can the future prospects be so bad?"

When Cao Hongchang heard it, he felt as if he had been hit by a blow, and he was enlightened: "What you said makes sense, damn it."

Zhao Kehan ​​smiled and said: "So, when Yixun is listed, even if I sell my house and sell my house, I still have to buy Yixun's shares. Maybe I will rely on this to achieve financial freedom in the future. I won't If you want to make money, let the richest man Lu take me to make money together."

It has to be said that the students who can be admitted to Mizuki University are still very smart.

Yixun Technology owns the leading product QQ, and is following the route of Goose Factory's social empire.

Someone once calculated, if in 2005, the Goose Factory stock was bought for 10 yuan, how much would it be worth 15 years later?

The answer is 3507 million!
What kind of house can be bought with income comparable to this?
And if the 10 yuan is deposited in the bank, then after 15 years, it will only be 15 yuan including the principal and interest, and it will not be able to beat even the inflation.

When Cao Hongchang heard that Zhao Kehan ​​was going to buy Yixun's stock when he sold his house, he was very surprised: "You really believe in Lu's richest man? What if the stock drops when Yixun Technology goes public?"

Zhao Kehan ​​is obviously Lu Yiming's die-hard fan. He sneered at Cao Hongchang's doubts, and immediately retorted: "Joke, when did the richest man in Lu ever do a loss-making business? And if I use the money to do other things, can I guarantee success? ? Rather than betting my life on my own, I might as well bet on the richest man in Lu, at least the risk is much lower."

Cao Hongchang gave a thumbs up and said, "Your opinion is true. You have understood yourself."

But then Cao Hongchang became melancholy again, and said, "When do you think Yixun Technology will be listed? We will graduate next year. If it is not listed after we graduate, it will be ridiculous."

Zhao Kehan ​​scratched his head and said, "This is indeed a problem."

On the other side, Li Yiwen was also asking Lu Yiming the same question.

"Don't worry about the campus network. When will Yixun Technology be listed? I see you not doing business all day, and I feel sorry for you, you know?"

Lu Yiming complained: "You feel bad for a bubble teapot! You didn't spend money on this company. And I never thought that this company would go public."

In the original timeline, Goose Factory chose to go public in 2004 because of its own lack of funds. Yixun Technology was supported by Lu Yiming's blood transfusion, and it was not short of money.

Therefore, Lu Yiming has never been very keen on going public. Now that he is going public, the stock price is not much higher. Thinking about it, he will lose money.

The key is that QQ is not an ordinary thing, and now there are many things that need to be solved if you want to go public.

Li Yiwen looked at Lu Yiming with a serious expression, and said: "I advise you to seriously consider the issue of letting Yixun Technology go public. After all, you are not the only one who owns shares in the company. Many core employees are all Looking forward to realizing the freedom of wealth as soon as possible.”

To put it bluntly, the competition in the Internet industry is becoming more and more fierce, and there are many people staring at the big cake of social networking.

If you want to retain talents, in addition to high wages, you also need to give shares and options.

But if the company doesn't go public, options are just a piece of shit. If you have been painting big cakes for a long time, you will really become a fool.

Lu Yiming sighed and said, "If you want to say that, it's not completely unreasonable."

Seeing that Lu Yiming listened, Li Yiwen continued: "And Yixun Technology wants to develop rapidly, such as increasing investment, so we can't always rely on your blood transfusion, right? You have to learn how to lay eggs by borrowing chickens. In short, go public first. How can burning your own money be better than burning other people's money?"

For this statement, Lu Yiming agreed: "Indeed, although I seem to have a big business now, there are too many places to spend money, and it is inevitable that I will still be a little stretched."

Afterwards, he said contemptuously: "Well, the leeks in the beautiful country are still not very strong. I harvested a crop before, and I haven't slowed down until now. I'm afraid the next harvest will have to wait until three or four years later. "

Li Yiwen asked suspiciously: "What three years later?"

"It's nothing, I just said it casually, and it's just to give the leeks in the beautiful country a little time to make money."

Lu Yiming didn't tell Li Yiwen about the subprime mortgage crisis. Although there are some signs of it now, the matter is of great importance. When it's time to keep it a secret, it should be kept a secret.

In general, the money earned from harvesting leeks from the United States in the last round has been used to invest in various industries and projects in recent years, and it has basically been tossed away.

Especially the research and development of smartphones and the layout of the semiconductor industry, they are all invested in hundreds of millions, and the money is burned in tons.

The little cash on hand should be reserved for emergencies.

"Then start Yixun Technology's listing plan."

Lu Yiming basically made most of his money from the stock market. Compared with the money he made from US stocks, the amount of money he made from the industries he invested in was really not much.

Although Shi Jin Kee is very profitable, it is only a food company. No matter how good the performance is, it will be a billion-dollar company if it develops for a few years.

Although real estate is absolutely hot now, and it will become even more popular in a few years, Lu Yiming adheres to the concept of "living in housing, not speculation", and he absolutely does not allow cutting corners in terms of cost. Activities in the field are equivalent to putting shackles on oneself, and there is no way to make a huge amount of wealth like other companies.

In comparison, there are too many things that Lu Yiming needs to spend.

Lithography machines, chips, integrated circuits, graphene, and operating systems... Just by hearing the names of these fields, you know that they are big spenders. If you throw in hundreds of millions or billions, you may not even splash a drop of water.

It can only be said that if you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is.

Li Yiwen was very excited and said, "Now is a good time to go public in the US."

Lu Yiming said: "I don't plan to let Yixun Technology go to the US stock market. If I want to choose, I can only choose Hong Kong stocks."

The pool of A-shares is still too small for Lu Yiming to look down upon. As an Internet company engaged in social networking, Yixun Technology is very inappropriate to go public on the US stock market.

It's not that earning US dollars is not good, but for the safety of user data.

Companies that go to the U.S. stock market must accept the supervision of the beautiful country. It is impossible for Yixun Technology to accept this condition anyway, and it is impossible for the country to agree. A TV station or a newspaper or something.

Lu Yiming is well aware of this rule, so he will not make things difficult for himself.

Li Yiwen felt very puzzled and said, "Why? The U.S. stock market is the most mature and well-regulated capital market in the world, where all the hot money in the world is there. If Yixun Technology wants to raise as much funds as possible, the U.S. stock market should be The best choice."

Lu Yiming had no choice but to talk about the disadvantages of listing on the US stock market, as well as some cases of administrative intervention in the economy by beautiful countries, which made Li Yiwen break out in a cold sweat.

"Damn it, I almost fell into the pit. Fortunately, you think ahead than me."
