My Age of Investment

Two hundred and eighty-three, New Year's Outlook

In early January, although the sun was still shining in San Francisco in winter, the dank sea breeze still felt a biting coolness on the body.

Xia Jingxing tightened his suit, held up his red wine glass, and clinked glasses with the old man John, who was standing beside him with his beard blowing almost upside down, and said with a smile, "Happy belated New Year!"

Old John smiled and nodded, took a sip from his glass.

He cast his eyes to the endless sea level, looked around, stepped on the floor under his feet again, and smiled faintly: "Why are you thinking of putting the company's New Year's party here?"

Xia Jingxing leaned on the guardrail of the deck and replied with a smile, "The scenery is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's a lot more fun than nesting in a hotel restaurant."

The person who answered was Blayer, who, like the two of them, was also wearing a formal suit, holding a wine glass, and walked over from not far away with a smile on his face.

"Fun is fun... just a little cold!"

Andrew was not far behind Bryer, his neck was shrunk, he seemed to be shivering from the cold, and he stuttered when he spoke.

Xia Jingxing looked at himself, then looked at the thin old John and Blayer, and said with a smile, "There is an old saying in China that fat people are afraid of cold. Andrew, you should really lose weight."

"You are discriminating against obese people!"

Andrew patted his bulging belly, "I'm very satisfied with my figure."

After he finished speaking, he walked over with his chest raised up, "Is it cold? I don't feel it at all."

"You are satisfied!"

Xia Jingxing held the cup in his right hand and spread out his left hand.

Blayer and old John burst into laughter.

On this happy day, everyone unloaded some of the burdens in their hearts and chatted casually.

"Daren, YouTube has done a really good job of marketing this wave."

Leaning on the railing with one hand, Blayer laughed as he talked about his discovery.

"My nephew is still in middle school, and I heard from him that a little girl in his school became popular on the Internet because of her YouTube video.

Has hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

Walking in the school, there are all envious and flattering voices, the boys all want to date her, stealing the cheerleader's limelight..."

Old John, who is half-dead, is still very interested in this kind of thing, he laughed and said, "This just shows one thing, the influence of the oil pipe is getting bigger and bigger."

Breyer nodded, "It's true, the popularity of Nevia and Ryan on the Internet has allowed more people to see a way to become famous, and that is to become Internet stars.

Darren, YouTube must seize this opportunity to continuously create Internet stars and make YouTube a trend. "

Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, "Actually, we have been working hard in this direction and have never stopped."

"I know, that's why I said that the video blogger contest was well done and got better results than we expected."

Blayer looked at Xia Jingxing with admiration and continued: "So, I think another video blogger contest should be held this year, and the scale should be larger, the number of participants should be larger, and the prize money should be more generous.

If the effect is good, you can also make this a fixed annual event. "

"Yes, that's a good idea."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "A few days ago, just after the finals ended, camera equipment manufacturers like Nikon and Canon contacted us, hoping that they would sponsor the second video blogger contest of YouTube."

"That's really good news!"

Breyer picked up the glass and touched Xia Jingxing, "I have to have a drink!"

"Daren, what are your plans for this year?"

When Andrew asked this, Brayer and Old John all turned their attention to Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing pondered for a moment, all the important shareholders of the company were present, and there was nothing to say.

"It's easy!"

Compared with two fingers, he said succinctly: "Two goals, one is to end the social war, and the second is to end the video war."

The words are short, but the amount of information is enormous.

Blayer, who invested the most and was most concerned about Facebook, was the first to ask: "Really? Do you mean to kill all competitors?"

Looking at the excited Blayer, Xia Jingxing replied with a smile: "It is definitely not realistic to completely strangle opponents this year, and it is impossible for them to drain their blood all at once.

I mean, establish enough of a competitive advantage this year that they never have a chance of catching us again. "

"That's great too, do we have any trump cards in our hands?" asked old John.

Xia Jingxing took the opportunity to tell about the information flow products and advertising systems.

Several shareholders are aware of these two products, but it is not particularly clear how much influence they have.

“…After the launch of the news feed product, Facebook users will first experience massive growth.

Then, the advertising system was launched, and a stable business monetization model was established. The company officially entered a mature stage, completed new financing at a high valuation, and completely established its market position.

Users, markets, funds, talents, industry influence... Multiple dimensions form our advantages.

In addition, the advertising system will also introduce YouTube to create our creator ecosystem..."

Xia Jingxing explained the strategic analysis one by one, and the three shareholders listened very fascinatedly.

After Xia Jingxing finished speaking, the three of them did not regain their senses for a long time.

"Daren, what I admire most is you. It seems that you have simulated the development rhythm of the company countless times in your mind. You are not greedy for success, and you are not slow. Every step is just right, which is amazing!"

Old man John said with a smile, "Before, in the face of competition from dating websites, I have advised you many times to open registration to everyone, but you have always insisted on cultivating the campus market.

Now, you are right.

If it is too early to open before fully occupying the campus market, Facebook may not have such a good development trend today. "

Xia Jingxing waved his hand, "Both of us have the right perspectives, but no one thought that Dating.com would be so unsatisfactory, and he played himself to death, so my choice seems to be more correct."

Old John smiled and remained silent, guessing that Daeron was saving face for himself.

Breyer said lightly: "I'm not worried about the rest of the opponents, mainly Google.

Google Video, do you pay attention to it, it is developing very slowly.

And Okut, the site is still in operation, showing that Google still has ideas for social.

Yahoo was defeated by Google, and its advertising market share was constantly being eroded.

If this situation continues, Google is likely to replace Yahoo and become a new generation of Internet giants.

Now there's a Yahoo that takes most of Google's firepower for us.

If Yahoo goes down, all the pressure will be on us.

Of course, Yahoo can't collapse immediately, and this process may take a year, two years, or even longer.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Yahoo has been robbed of advertising market share by Google.

Google is growing rapidly, and if we can't get bigger quickly in this time window, it will form our competitiveness.

When Google shifts its focus to social and video, then it will be difficult. "

Old John frowned and asked, "No way, Yahoo is still in fierce competition with Google, how do you know that Google must win?"

Blayer smiled, "Don't think I'm exaggerating, all signs point to Yahoo being a slow-moving giant.

Although relying on the market advantages accumulated in the early years, it is still a long way ahead of Google.

However, people in the industry are more optimistic about the new Google. In terms of technology, innovation, and mobility, Google is stronger than Yahoo.

Having said that, Google and Yahoo are two big fish, and we are a small fish next to us.

No matter what day the big fish wins, they will come to eat our little fish.

We have to prepare for the worst. "

Blayer looked at Xia Jingxing and said, "Especially after the launch of the advertising system, Google will regard us as an enemy."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "I know this, so this year, we have to speed up our pace and let ourselves grow up a little so as not to be eaten by big fish."

Blayer said with a smile: "It seems that Daeron has a very clear head, so I don't need to remind you too much."

Xia Jingxing laughed, "Haha, like you, I have a strong sense of crisis."

"It's getting late, so let's go eat!"

Andrew tightened his clothes, "Fake, it's too cold on this deck."

"Didn't you just say it's not cold?" Xia Jingxing teased,

"Just now... there was no wind, of course I didn't feel cold." Andrew forced a wave of explanation.

Xia Jingxing did not continue to tease Andrew, and the four of them went downstairs together and walked to the cabin in the cruise ship.
