My Age of Investment

Xia Jingxing retracted his gaze, glanced at Yang Niu, and said with a chuckle, "Why can't he be here? You, an American, likes Chinese food, and he likes it too. Isn't that normal?"

"I didn't say that."

Yang Niu shook her head, "I want to say that MySpace has moved to Beverly Hills. Isn't Zuckerberg supposed to be there? Why did he suddenly come to Silicon Valley?"

"Then let's go and ask him?"

Yang Niu knocked Xia Jingxing out and stretched out her hand and said angrily, "Don't be joking, we and they are mortal enemies."

Xia Jingxing spread his hands, "It's a pity, you lost a good opportunity to solve the doubt."

"I'm not interested in this at all, let alone Zuckerberg, even Juyou.com can no longer threaten us..."

While talking, Yang Niu jumped the topic to Juyou.com and talked about the current situation of this company.

After Juyou.com was acquired by the old Murdoch last year, it was ready to fight with Facebook.

In addition to retaining the two founders of Juyou.com, Chris and Anderson, the old Murdoch also offered a lucrative salary contract, poaching Sean Parker, Zuckerberg, and other social network startups that are estranged from Facebook. By.

The momentum of Juyou.com was very big at that time, and the media also looked forward to whether Juyou.com, which has the resources of the media empire, could overturn Facebook from the social throne.

Even if it can't be overturned, it will cause some trouble for Facebook, and provide some reporting materials to their media practitioners, it is still excellent.

result!

Juyou.com was still a little bit quiet last year. News Corporation put on a good money battle, spending a lot of money on advertisements, and mobilized its media resources to help Juyou.com to promote it, and attaches great importance to this son.

This year, the voice of Juyou.com has become smaller and smaller, and more media reports are that Facebook has exceeded 200 million users, and the Pope has entered Facebook...

Juyou.com seems to be invisible, becoming less and less of a presence, so its own media still reports a few times from time to time, and other media don't pay much attention to this outdated website.

After listening to this, Xia Jingxing couldn't help grinning. Juyou.com had come to this day, in fact, it was not unexpected at all.

When Facebook took the lead in launching the "information flow" of nuclear weapons products, the outcome of the war was already doomed, and even God could not save them.

"What about Chris, Sean, Zuckerberg? They are the "Internet Masters" hired by Murdoch with huge salaries, and they have not shown any effect?"

Yang Niu shook her head and laughed, "Don't mention it, old Murdoch doesn't understand the Internet at all, and doesn't particularly trust them, and the financial and human executives who arrange to monitor them often have conflicts with them.

According to the information we inquired, Sean, Zuckerberg and others also had many disagreements with Chris and Anderson because of development strategy issues.

The interior is already so chaotic, but the old Murdoch also moved the company to Beverly Hills, which is close to Hollywood. There are not many excellent engineers, and there are many feasts.

In this case, if Juyou.com can succeed and can truly threaten us, it will really be called a miracle. "

Xia Jingxing nodded, Yang Niu's remarks are really not to belittle Juyou.com and Murdoch, but to state objective facts.

Interlaced like a mountain, old Murdoch did not understand the king, and it was impossible to understand everything. The Internet was not suitable for their traditional industry bigwigs to play, because even if they had money, they would not spend it in the right place.

The chat box opened, Xia Jingxing asked about the other major competitors.

“Friendster went out of business more than two years ago, lingering in the Southeast Asian market, and with Facebook’s aggressive expansion into the Asian market, their end is coming.

Although they entered the local market earlier, they have already formed a certain influence and created a strong brand in the minds of local users.

However, the market they occupy is still too small to create the charm of a global social network.

Facebook can. In addition to China, users from dozens of countries and regions around the world can communicate on one platform. This advantage is enough to crush them, not to mention Facebook's advantages in technology and capital. "

Xia Jingxing nodded and said "OK", he didn't pay much attention to the dating network, after all, this company had entered the final countdown to death.

"Google's Okut cannot threaten us in the North American and European markets, and now it has avoided our edge and focused its development on the South American market.

In strategic planning, South America is a low-priority market. We don't invest much energy and money, so we can't give them a big blow for the time being. "

Xia Jingxing looked at Yang Niu with a smile, "Your approach is right, it's actually the same as the way to deal with dating sites, first strengthen our strength, and then use the general trend to wipe out the separatist forces in these regions."

Yang Niu's Chinese is good, she understood what Xia Jingxing meant, she nodded, "Yes, they are trapped in a corner, and it will be a matter of time before they lose."

"Oh, yes, and Yahoo! After they acquired the photo social networking site Flicker, they acquired and merged the F agency founded by Zuckerberg and the others, and the service area radiated the entire North America at once.

In recent years, Yahoo has been trying to learn from our development trajectory, to promote the site to Europe.

But the effect is not very good, because Yahoo has already fallen into a disadvantage in the competition with Google. Some analysts predict that Google's revenue may reach twice that of Yahoo next year, which will completely bring this search war to an end. . "

Xia Jingxing pinched his chin and muttered to himself: "So, no one will block Google in the future, and firmly control the cornucopia of search business. Google has the strength, money, and motivation to explore other innovative businesses."

Subconsciously, Xia Jingxing always regarded Google as Facebook's biggest competitor, especially after he cut off YouTube and Android, he was very wary of Peppa Pig seeking revenge on him one day.

Even if Peppa Pig does not hold grudges, in order to compete for a larger living space for the company, he will point the finger at Facebook.

“In addition to these competitors, we also have competitors in the UK, Bebo (Bebo), competitors in Russia, VKontakte, and Cyworld in South Korea, and Japan’s main competitor, Mixi, has been established for two years. More, I heard that I plan to list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange recently..."

The reason why he was able to name so many competitors was because Xia Jingxing had never stopped paying attention to global social networks.

Just like China, after the SNS wave in the United States, entrepreneurs from various economically developed or large countries or regions have launched actions one after another.

Sometimes we can't just accuse Chinese entrepreneurs of plagiarism, because at this time Internet entrepreneurs all over the world are staring at Silicon Valley and learning advanced models.

Facebook, Dating.com, and Juyou.com have all been established for three or four years. Having made such a big battle in the United States, they have long been targeted and thoroughly analyzed by entrepreneurs from all over the world. a social networking start-up.

For example, Mixi in Japan was developed in December 2003 and launched in February 2004. It has achieved two million users in more than two years, and is expected to hit the market. It is quite a success.

In addition, Xia Jingxing also looked at the data and found that Mixi's revenue per user (ARPU) was several times that of Facebook and more than ten times that of Bebo.

In short, Xiaoyue has money and is willing to pay for services on social networks.
