Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Near Tsinghua University, Haifeng Garden.

This is a large house of 130 square meters, with accommodation and office integrated. It cannot be called a garbage house, and it is also messy everywhere, revealing the temperament of a male dormitory.

Wang Xing is 27 years old this year, and his hairline is already showing signs of moving upwards.

He is from Longyan, Fujian Province, and together with two fellow villagers—Zhang Yiming, who founded ByteDance, and Fang Sanwen, who founded Xueqiu.com, are called the "Three Heroes of Longyan".

Of course, it is still a small party dish.

Wang Xing's family runs a cement factory, a rich second generation, graduated from Tsinghua University, and then went to the United States to study, and asked his father for some start-up funds to return to China to start a business.

After several years of tossing, all failed. Now I am working on a project called Xiaoneiwang, which borrows from Maiwo and Facebook.

There are more than a million users, and the development is very good, but problems also arise: Xiaonei network is not profitable, and the monthly server costs are tens of thousands. Wang Xing asked for a lot of money from his family. Almost at the end of the mountain.

Facebook has driven the attention of international capital to such communities, leading to the emergence of a large number of such communities in China, such as "negative film network", "zhanzuo network", "looface", "5Q network" and so on.

Wang Xing tried to find investment, but he probably lacked the talent in this area. He made mistakes repeatedly in the process, and watched capital invest money in competitors.

At this moment, he is answering a phone call.

The other party was Chen Yizhou, who had just raised 48 million US dollars. He was rich and powerful, and he set up a similar product 5Q website.

"US$1.5 million is quite a lot, and it would be 12 million in RMB. You only have 1 million users. You can calculate the promotion cost yourself. It costs 12 yuan per person, and you can grab it on campus. I am very sincere."

"I know you are sincere, but Xiaonei is our painstaking effort, and we don't want to change hands."

One wants to buy, the other is struggling.

After talking for a long time, Chen Yizhou lost his patience, and lost his temper: "The SNS community is the outlet, and only with money can it survive. If you don't agree to the acquisition, I will be the first to kill the school!"

"Anyway, I don't sell it!"

Wang Xing was young and energetic, so he changed hands and hung up the phone, actually very scared.

Chen Yizhou is a top player in the entrepreneurial world. His prestige, qualifications, connections, and financial resources are all slapped on him.

"How do you say it?"

"Offer $1.5 million!"

"That's a lot, we can at least buy two houses in the capital for one point."

"A project that has been worked so hard is worth two houses in your eyes?"

"Then what do you say, I have also invested a lot of money, and now I am living on debt and can't achieve anything. What qualifications do you have for me to continue?"

A crack appeared in the team.

If you don’t sell it, you will have no money, and everyone has to drink the Northwest Wind; if you sell it, you have worked on more than a dozen projects to come across such a good product, and you are unwilling.

These few people have followed me from the earliest days, and they really have no right to ask them to continue to persist.

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Wang Xing rubbed his temples and sighed, "I'll try to find financing again..."

………………

Entering the summer vacation, the "Dancing Forest Conference" exclusively sponsored by "Audition" is launched on Dragon TV.

The plan is: seven preliminaries, four semi-finals, semi-finals, finals, invite 50-60 stars, not yet small stars, Zhong Hanliang, TWINS, Li Yuchun, Cheng Kuian, Zhong Liti, Yu Fan, He Lixiu and so on.

Artists from both sides of the strait, including South Korea, old, middle-aged and young artists all appeared.

Dragon TV has strength and appeal, and the program format of "Dancing Forest Conference" is also novel. It belongs to the dance competition category, and these stars are very interested.

After Yao Yuan proposed this plan, some internal opposition voices believed that TV viewers and online game users were two different things, and they lost money and made money.

Yao Yuan was suppressed and became a dictator.

During the broadcast period of the program, the version of "Audition" was updated simultaneously, and a "Dancing Forest Conference" competition was held, and even several China-Korea competitions were held.

Special badges are awarded to the winners, which are limited in number and cannot be bought with money——only with these two points, it will definitely hit the Achilles heel of gamers.

What do players want?

Is a different, grandstanding!

"In the past week, the user activity of "Audition" has increased by 13 percentage points compared with daily, the payment penetration rate has also increased significantly, and the number of online users has exceeded 500,000.

The net profit in the first half of the year was about 78 million. According to the growth momentum in July, this year we estimate that the profit can reach 200 million. "

Tsk!

After listening to the game department's report, Yao Yuan came up with an idea, making money by making games is really awesome!

"How is the progress of "Wulin Biography"?"

"Internal testing will be available in August."

He nodded, then turned to Wu Jun and asked, "How much has Maimai's users increased?"

"So far, it has broken through 50 million, and the monthly activity is 21.83 million!"

Wu Jun was very excited because the boss had promised.

Sure enough, Yao Yuan smiled and said: "In this case, the fee can be launched."

"OK!"

Wu Jun responded, and said again: "Version 4.0 of QZone, Liu Weiwei asked someone to test it for a period of time, and it is much smoother than before, and the user experience has been greatly improved.

I heard that they hired a technical leader to be in charge of Qzone.

Tencent's base is too large. As long as the platform is perfect, the number of users will definitely surge. I think it should be launched together with "Parking Space Grab"? Get on top of them before they get up. "

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"Well……"

Wu Jun, as the only one in the entrepreneurial team who can be of great use, knows that Yao Yuan likes to test his subordinates, but this time he can't figure it out, so he can only shake his head.

"Taobao removed Zhaocaijinbao, and our partnership with Tencent was automatically terminated. Regardless of QQ or Maimai, charging is the end of the universe.

Qzone must also embark on the road of charging fees. You should keep an eye on them. As long as they launch functions similar to ours, they will immediately publicize them and continue to stigmatize them. "

Good guy!

Wu Jun twitched the corners of his mouth, he was pitiful as Boss Yao's opponent, and he was going to be hit psychologically.

Last year, there was a bombardment, yelling at the other party for plagiarism, and going to court. Although they didn't win, QQ's reputation has been ruined. Netizens mentioned it: Oh, plagiarism dog!

"Okay, I understand!"

…………

Penguin headquarters.

Brother Xiao Ma is listening to Tang Daosheng explaining the functions of Qzone 5.0.

Tencent's huge empire relies not only on Xiao Ma, but also on the shining stars of Zhang Xiaolong (the father of WeChat), Ren Yuxin (COO), Liu Shengyi (Tencent Video) and others.

Tang Daosheng is in charge of Qzone.

"The main function of version 5.0 is called the log text editor, which can add simple animation, audio and other multimedia content. Let me demonstrate it in detail..."

A space log page appeared on the big screen.

First of all, there is a new function of "log classification", which simply means grouping logs. Then "write a log", a text editing window appeared with a row of toolbars, which looked like word.

Qzone DIY editing is all the rage.

Some people even spend money to hire someone to do it, just to be unique among their friends.

But that was a few years later. With the current platform performance, QQ can't do it, and neither can Maimai, so it's just simple log editing.

You can set font, font size, color, insert moving emoticons and so on.

"..."

Xiao Ma trusts Tang Daosheng, and also thinks that the idea of ​​this editor is very good. It will be perfected in the future, and it can be combined with membership fees, which is another new way to make money.

This strengthened his belief, and he felt more and more that QQ's strong user base was invincible. If there were any problems, he would solve them, and after solving them, QQ would still be awesome.

For a while he was smug.

Then, he received a sad news: Mai Mai updated a new version!

I can't say they're very similar, I can only say they're the same!

(The state is not good, I wake up every day groggy and lack of energy, and I don’t like to eat. It is said that the humidity is too heavy, and I am taking medicine to recuperate.

Today is gone...)
