Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"I want to take you to fly everywhere, travel all over the world to watch, no worries, no sadness, free and happy body and mind..."

The lights in the bedroom are on, the computer has already entered the screen saver mode, and "Zhang San's Song" is playing on the small speaker.

Yao Yuan was sitting on a chair, with one leg raised against the table, holding a notebook in his hand, writing the work summary of last year as usual.

Last year on the 99 network, "Audition" and CRBT brought a total of 400 million in revenue. Maimai's value-added services, including Maimai Show, Audition, Platinum Membership, etc., have performed well since their launch, with a revenue of about 90 million.

"Wulin Biography" has not yet entered the krypton gold model, and has no income for the time being. "Parking Space Grab" has just been launched in the mall, but it has not seen any effect.

Now 99 Network's business includes community, MaiMai, games, and CRBT. After excluding various costs, the net income last year was 160 million, and the expenditure was mainly used for promotion, technology upgrades, and servers.

Compare Tencent.

Last year, the revenue was 2.8 billion and the profit was 1.16 billion.

On the surface there is a tenfold gap, but how many years has Tencent been doing it? Its value-added services have been in operation for 4 years. There are more than 10 million stable monthly subscription members. It costs 10 yuan per month and can contribute more than one billion yuan a year.

Now QQ has more than 500 million registered users, and the membership ratio is about 1:50.

Maimai has 90 million registered users, and the membership function has been launched for half a year, and has developed 3 million people, with a ratio of 1:30.

Looking at the game business again, the profit of Tencent Games in 2006 was 2.71 million (this is the data I found), and Maimai can earn 200 million from "Audition".

Generally speaking, Tencent still relies on traditional value-added services, while Yao Yuan directly bets on the game industry.

In other respects, 99 Entertainment led by Yu Jiajia has a revenue of 680 million, um, yes.

Among them, 500 million is investment, and spent 202 million to become a shareholder of Golden Harvest.

The other 180 million is still organizing large-scale performances, commercial performances, endorsements, albums, etc. At the same time, the proportion of film and television production and sales is gradually increasing. Why can so much money grow?

It's very simple, Li Yuchun earned 70 million yuan alone! Zhang Liangying is almost half, and these two are 100 million.

Qianqian Music Network, in the process of losing money, was entrusted by Capital Today.

Maoyan.com, in the process of losing money, was entrusted by Lei Jun.

Tangerine Culture, the No. 1 online marketing promoter in China, earned 20 million yuan.

In the current situation, it can be said that Yao Yuan has already achieved profitability in these businesses other than e-commerce, and has a good momentum of development.

Looking back at e-commerce, I feel quite difficult to raise.

Last year Maiwo Mall sold 1.8 billion yuan, 1 billion from Meizu's MP3 player and 220 million from Maike Eslite, an increase of 400% over 2005.

It ranks firmly in the top spot of B2C, far surpassing Dangdang and Joyo Amazon.

But this is also the reason for the hesitation of investment institutions. Yao Yuan relies on the sales of popular MP3s. He does not follow the rules and makes investors feel vain.

E-commerce needs explosive products, but it is the last word to develop the market in a real way. Can you still make explosive products every year?

Eh!

Yao Yuan can really do it.

But he couldn't tell investors.

"..."

In the dead of night, Zhong Zhentao's "Let Everything Follow the Wind" has been cut to the stereo. Yao Yuan got up and made a cup of tea, listening to the singing: "All kinds of emptiness, cold and cold, blowing and blowing, dreaming in the wind..."

That was heart-piercing, the vicissitudes of life, the charm of the old man's voice was fully revealed.

"Good guy, I've never married a prodigal daughter-in-law before, so I can't sing like this!"

Yao Yuan complained, sat down again, and started to make work plans for the new year.

…………

Go to work in the New Year and hold meetings as usual.

Yao Yuan is not as meticulous as before, and now mostly sets a task for his subordinates to complete.

"Will "Zhu Xian" be tested publicly this year?"

"Can!"

"The goal of "Wulin Biography" in the first half of the year is to have 500,000 simultaneous online users."

"The task must be completed!"

"After reaching 500,000, I won't force it anymore. The upper limit of this game is not high. You can keep it for me. The goal of "Audition" in the first half of the year, the number of simultaneous online users will exceed one million, and the revenue will be 300 million. Is there any problem? "

"No!"

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

"When will "Buying and Selling Friends" be released?"

"Estimated before the Spring Festival."

"Well, yes."

When you think of social games, you think of stealing food. In fact, there are many popular ones, such as "Car Parking" and "Friends Buying and Selling".

You can use the initial funds to buy a friend, become your own slave, give him a funny name, and let him go to work to make money for yourself.

The time you own a slave is 3 hours, and then you have to sell it. Every time you sell it, the value of the slave will increase, and you can earn the difference from it.

Then buy more slaves and make more money.

These games change the soup but not the medicine. The core rule is to allow users to interact and make friends.

"With "Parking Space", "Friends Buying and Selling" and "Buying Love Family", I really don't know what bottlenecks can hinder us. QQ first runs 39 meters, it doesn't matter, our big knife has 40 meters..."

Yao Yuan looked at Wu Jun half-jokingly, and said, "I hope that when I open my eyes tomorrow morning, Mamai users will exceed 100 million. If it exceeds 100 million, this will be the second instant messaging product in China to exceed 100 million.

We will rise to the first gear instead of being tied with Netease Bubble and MSN. "

"Tomorrow is too late, but I guarantee that after the Spring Festival, Maimai users will exceed 100 million!"

Wu Jun knew he was joking, but he was also under pressure.

Which of the instant messaging products of other companies has so many resource assistance? In other words, with such excellent resource support, a manager with a dog on a leash can do a good job.

"Last year, I leaned too much towards Maimai. This year, we must pay more attention to the community. Every year there are newcomers, and the number of netizens is increasing sharply. They are all potential users of the community... Okay, the meeting is over!"

After the meeting, Yao Yuan stretched his waist and wobbled downstairs.

Liu Qiangdong also just finished a meeting with the people in the mall, met him and said, "Meet investors in the afternoon?"

"Yes, it will be around 2 o'clock."

"Is it the last round?"

"I hope too. Tiger Fund is very cautious. The main reason is that we don't believe in our business capabilities, and think that we are all going to the wrong side. What the hell is a side way? Regardless of the front door and the back door, the one that can get in is a good one!"

The old driver of Dongzi smiled honestly and asked, "How sure are you of 1 billion dollars?"

"Let's pay back the money with a sky-high price. My bottom line is 600 million. Xiong Xiaoge said that the other party is very likely to bet against each other. I believe in our strength, but I hope that if anything happens, you can unswervingly unite with me."

Um?

Dongzi was taken aback, nodded and said, "Of course!"

After thinking about it again, he said with a smile: "E-commerce really depends on money. With a large amount of money, I can let go and vigorously promote [Clothing Channel], as well as household appliances, daily necessities, and further upgrade the logistics system." , to build eight large warehouses..."

"Stop, stop!"

Yao Yuan interrupted him and said, "With the funds, you should buy the building."

"Buy a building? Oh, yes, we have more and more people, and we are still crowded in this small place. There should be a building, and the remaining money..."

"Stop!"

Yao Yuan interrupted him again, saying, "I bought the building and mortgaged it."

"ah?"

"Mortage out, we spend the bank's money."

(No more!

Alas, this year is really the wheel of the times rolling forward...)
