My Age of Investment

"Mr. Xia, the Super Girl campus commercial performances have all ended, and the audition for the campus singer contest has come to an end.

Next is the national race, which will be broadcast live on Hunan Provincial TV Station.

Although the students of various colleges and universities have vacations one after another, they can still follow the competition through Hunan TV and Tudou.

We plan to launch a voting activity to see the support rate of the contestants.

This activity can also be used as a warm-up for the launch of the information flow function. "

In the Xiaonei conference room, Huang Xin, who was sitting on Xia Jingxing's left, was meticulously reporting to Xia Jingxing on his work.

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, "Okay, the information flow function must be launched as soon as possible. Qzone has been online for a year, and we can't fall too far behind."

Speaking of Qzone, Xia Jingxing's expression was solemn. For a long time, this SNS community will be the mortal enemy of Xiaonei.

As for Thousand Oaks, their luck has been almost stripped away, so let's cool off.

Huang Xin said slowly: "QQ..."

Wanting to sigh, but afraid that Xia Jingxing's reprimand would hurt his morale, Huang Xin didn't say any more.

Xia Jingxing glanced at Huang Xin, how could he not know what the other person was thinking.

"QQ is our next stage rival, but not invincible."

Huang Xin put on a confident look, "I understand that Xiao Ma has to stand aside in front of the social king of the East and the West."

The corners of Xia Jingxing's mouth raised slightly, the king of East-West social networking, the global social king...is the "King Title" bestowed on him by the media recently.

The development momentum of Xiaonei.com was astonishing, and it immediately aroused people's dusty memories. The story of him and Facebook was brought to the headlines again.

He wants to keep a low profile, but he can't. The media is not blind, not to mention that he has been so popular this year.

"Mr. Xia, I heard that the total number of Facebook users has exceeded 250 million?" Wang Huiwen, who was sitting next to Huang Xin, suddenly asked.

"Um."

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, "As for what happened a few days ago, there hasn't been a large-scale report yet.

Are your ears good enough? "

Wang Huiwen smiled, "I thought, let's learn more from Big Brother, so we pay more attention to Facebook's news."

In addition to Huang Xin and Wang Huiwen, there were seven or eight senior executives present at the meeting, including top leaders in technology, legal affairs, finance, operations, marketing and other departments.

Hearing that the number of Facebook users has exceeded 250 million, these people are all happy.

Today’s Facebook is Xiaonei’s tomorrow, and the future is bright, how can we not be happy.

These executives are either from Envision Capital or poached from outside.

Xia Jingxing retained Huang Xin's team, but it didn't mean he trusted them unreservedly.

Now that the development of Xiaonei.com is on the right track, and most of the campus market has been won, even if Huang Xin is replaced, it will not cause too many problems.

However, Huang Xin was still willing to continue to contribute to Xiaonei, so Xia Jingxing let him not move Huang Xin's position for the time being.

But except for Huang Xin, the CEO, and Wang Huiwen, the CEO assistant, all other executives have been replaced by his people.

He also took the time to personally interview the several executives dug out from outside.

His post is also the chairman of Xiaonei.com.

After glancing at the happy executives, Xia Jingxing felt that he should take this opportunity to cheer, so he said, "The total number of Facebook users has exceeded 250 million, which is really exciting news.

The stronger the shareholder's strength, the more beneficial it is to the development of Xiaonei.

At the same time, Facebook can reach 250 million users, and Xiaonei can naturally achieve the same result.

They can be valued at tens of billions of dollars, and Xiaonei can also be valued at tens of billions of dollars.

Everyone work harder to nurture the sapling of Xiaonei.com into a towering tree as soon as possible.

In addition, let me tell you another good news. I have discussed with Facebook and decided to take out 10% of the equity and set up an option pool.

Contributors, awards! "

Hearing this big news, the eyes of several executives lit up instantly, and they were all overjoyed.

The equity incentive plan, the listing bell, tens of billions of dollars, is so easy to get people on top.

Huang Xin and Wang Huiwen were exceptions. They looked at each other, and both saw the conflict in each other's eyes.

If they leave, they won't be able to enjoy such good benefits.

Even if the entrepreneur is as firm as Huang Xin, after smelling the air of financial freedom, he can't help but feel a little swaying.

Xia Jingxing didn't notice the expressions of Huang and Wang, looked at the other senior executives, and continued: "After a campus event, the funds in our account have almost bottomed out.

In view of this, after negotiation, Envision Capital and Facebook decided to inject $100 million into the second phase of Xiaonei.com, giving Xiaonei a post-investment valuation of $500 million. "

Some of the executives swallowed their saliva. Wouldn’t the 10% option pool be worth 50 million U.S. dollars, and it will rise in the future, becoming 500 million U.S. dollars, 1 billion U.S. dollars...

Xia Jingxing noticed everyone's expressions and was very satisfied. He always likes to mobilize his enthusiasm for work with money.

Playing other vain things is pure hooliganism.

Once the money is distributed now, and the blueprint for the future is drawn, I believe it will greatly inspire a wave of people.

"Xiaonei has not yet reached the point where it can live on its laurels."

After drawing a big cake and mobilizing the emotions of the executives, Xia Jingxing began to pour cold water to cool down again.

"Because we are still a small company, winning the campus market is only the first step."

A senior executive asked, "President Xia, what do you mean?"

Xia Jingxing glanced at the executive, "Our second step is to get out of the campus market and embrace the entire vast world."

Just as the executives were about to cheer, Xia Jingxing stopped him with a wave of his hand, "Don't worry, listen to me.

Xiaonei currently only has more than 12 million users, and only 60% of the university market has been won.

The students are also on vacation now, we have to figure out a way to infiltrate again. "

Xia Jingxing looked at Huang Xin, "Tell everyone about the open platform."

Huang Xin nodded, and began to introduce the concept of an open platform in detail, as well as the various benefits it can bring.

"... During this summer vacation, we will cooperate with eight companies including Autohome, Ganji, Tudou, Kugou, Qunar, UC, Xunlei, and Dianping to develop an open platform.

After the launch of the open platform, we will cancel the registration restrictions on the Xiaonei website and allow all people to register.

This action of breaking the circle will get the full support of the eight brother websites and will import a large number of users for us.

Operations, marketing and other departments should do a good job of cooperation and reception, and try their best to retain this wave of users who have gathered from all directions.

These users are basically social people, and their interests are different from those of students.

Everyone has to brainstorm, find out what they are interested in, and launch and optimize some website functions. "

After Huang Xin finished speaking, the leaders of various departments began to express their views, saying that they would do their best to do related work well.

After some more discussions, Xia Jingxing announced the end of the meeting.

The rest of the executives left the meeting room, while Huang Xin and Wang Huiwen stayed behind.

After everyone had left, Huang Xin began to ask: "Mr. Xia, are you in a hurry? The number of users is growing too fast, and the operation department is in a hurry.

Moreover, we have just won the campus market and opened it to other groups without adjustment and adaptation. Will it arouse the resentment of college students? "

Xia Jingxing shook his head lightly, "There is no rush at all, because we are not crossing the river by feeling the stones, Facebook has already shown us a clear path, we just need to follow it.

As for the disgust of college students? Maybe.

However, to break through the ceiling of Xiaonei, we can only expand outward. Even if users have resistance, they can only push against these voices.

In addition, Xiaonei is different from Facebook. Most college students register and use Xiaonei in just a few months, and they have not yet formed a fixed impression. The user opposition caused by pushing it out is unlikely to have Facebook. big.

Wasn't Facebook noisy back then? Just pretend you didn't hear it.

Users are sometimes important and sometimes not. "

Huang Xin frowned, "Then we can no longer call Xiaonei?"

"certainly!"

Xia Jingxing smiled, "If you want to get out of the circle, you must remove the strong campus characteristics from the name."

Huang Xin was a little bit reluctant. Xiaonei was his name. If he changed his name, it would dilute his imprint on Xiaonei.

Although Xiaonei is no longer his, he also wants to leave some traces on Xiaonei.

Wang Huiwen kept silent, he always followed Huang Xin's lead.

After a few minutes of silence, Huang Xinchang sighed, "Okay, let's change it. It should be changed. To make a big market, it must be changed."

Xia Jingxing smiled, and in order to take care of Huang Xin's emotions, he gave Huang Xin a sideways look, "How about you get one?"

Huang Xin thought for a while, and then blurted out: "A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world!"
