"Chen Ke, do you know about Myspace?"

Lin Xuan asked suddenly.

"Myspace is a very popular SNS (social networking site) in the beautiful country recently!"

As a former member of the Honker Alliance, Chen Ke still knows the news of the whole world, especially the beautiful country.

Founded in September 2003, MySpace is an interactive platform that provides users with various functions such as making friends, sharing personal information, and instant messaging.

"That's right!" Lin Xuan said.

Although Face succeeded in leaving MySpace far behind.

However, at this stage, Face has just been established, but MySpace, which was founded in September last year, has become a big hit in the beautiful country.

The successful experience of Silicon Valley will soon be replicated in China.

For example, the three major portals are copying Yahoo, and Penguin is copying ICQ

Taobao is targeting Amazon.

So MySpace's meager model soon appeared in China.

The success of the later Qzone and Sina Bobo is just such a tradition.

If TT wants to finish catching up with Penguin, it must take a step ahead in terms of space.

"If I asked you to integrate the Myspace model into the TT application, Chen Ke, what do you think?"

Lin Xuan said.

"Integrate Myspace into TT!" Chen Ke fell into deep thought.

For developing a platform like Myspace, he has no difficulty.

It's nothing more than adding more servers.

However, combining Myspace with TT can be regarded as an innovation.

Whether 1+1 is greater than 2 or less than 2, no one can be sure.

However, it is undeniable that this is an innovation.

"You should develop as soon as possible according to this idea. If you don't have enough manpower, you can recruit people. If you don't have enough money, I can continue to invest. I only have one request. I want to see the results in a month!"

Lin Xuan said categorically, there is no room for any doubts.

"No problem!" Chen Ke assured her.

After Chen Ke left, Lin Xuan pressed the internal phone on the table.

"Zhang Ying, come here!"

Soon, a young man in his thirties walked into the office.

Zhang Ying, a beautiful national-level Chinese,

At the age of 14, he immigrated to the beautiful country with his family, where he studied in the third and high school of the beautiful country.

Later, he entered the University of California, San Francisco, and completed his master's degree at Northwestern University.

He successively entered the high-tech investment banking department of Salomon Brothers,

At the peak of the Internet bubble, he went to the investment department of ABN AMRO,

After staying for a year, for various reasons, ABN Amro disbanded the team.

Then, Zhang Ying entered the company of WIEC, which was led by Liu Yuhuan, a pioneer in the investment circle in Taiwan.

It was not until recently when I returned to China that I received a consultation from McKinsey & Company.

In fact, when Lin Xuan came to the imperial capital alone to start a business, Lin Xuan was extremely short of corresponding talents.

Now although Yuanhang Technology and Star Entertainment have been created.

However, Shenghua invested in a shell company.

And 2004 was the stage of rapid development of florists and the world economy, and many famous start-up companies rose or were born at this time.

If Huasheng Investment does not act as soon as possible, Lin Xuan will not have a share in this wave of carve-up feast.

So not long after he was in Emperor, he contacted McKinsey, as the double originator of modern headhunting and modern management consulting.

The service fee is naturally expensive, but after seeing Zhang Ying, he felt that the service fee of only 2 million US dollars was worth the money.

Lin Xuan still respects Zhang Ying, who recently interviewed Zhang Ying in a coffee shop to join the company:

"How about it, are you still used to it in the imperial capital?"

"Boss, except for the occasional bad weather, the imperial capital is no different from the beautiful country!"

Zhang Ying said.

"That's good, how about the construction of the investment department?"

Lin Xuan said what he cared about.

"I've basically finished the framework. By the way, I found my first project and I want to talk to you, BOSS!"

Zhang Ying said.

"Oh, what project!"

Lin Xuan is also very interested in the first project.

"It's a Shanghai-based company called Focus Media. This company's main business is elevator display advertising!"

Zhang Yingdao.

"Oh!" Lin Xuan tried hard to recall.

He vaguely remembered that Focus Media was the first company in the world to create a ladder media advertising scene. It was founded by campus poet Jiang Nanchun in 2003.

It is said that in January of that year, he waited in the elevator hall of an office building with a tired face, surrounded by bored and numb white-collar workers.

However, at this moment, inspiration suddenly fell from the sky like an angel and hit Jiang Nanchun.

He stared at the white wall between the two elevators and wondered if it would be possible to install a TV here to play commercials?

Thus, Focus Media was established in May.

In just two years, Focus Media put 20,000 TV sets in the elevator halls of 45 large and medium-sized cities across the country.

And in 2005, it was successfully listed on Nasdaq, becoming the first stock of flower planter advertising media.

At its peak, the market value of Focus Media reached more than 200 billion.

At this time, it was only the beginning of March 2004.

Focus Media is exactly when it needs money, and the investment at this time is absolutely guaranteed to make money.

"You can discuss this matter. I will inject 1 billion Chinese coins into Shenghua Investment in the first place, and you can make your own decision for the investment of less than 100 million in the future!"

Lin Xuan directly delegated power to Zhang Ying.

For this, Zhang Ying was naturally very grateful.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Ying took the team on behalf of Shenghua Investment to Modu to discuss investment.

At this time, the founder of Focus Media was already negotiating with Softbank, Dinghui, and Goldman Sachs.

In a sense, Huasheng is the most newcomer in the investment industry and has no advantage at all.

However, Zhang Ying is the most sincere.

Directly give a valuation of US$100 million to Focus Media, which has only been established for 10 months.

In the end, Jiang Nanchun agreed to Shenghua's investment.

Acquired 15% of Focus shares for US$15 million.

A round of financing of 40 million US dollars, the remaining 25 million was divided by Softbank, Dinghui, and Goldman Sachs.

Shenghua Investment fired its first shot in the investment world.

In the future, the name Zhang Ying will frequently appear in major investment companies.
