Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: May 23, 2005}

{Location: United States-California}

Dong Qianqian has been thinking about a question these days, whether when the eldest master and the second master stay together, the others will seem redundant.

Especially at this time, she was sitting in the passenger seat of the second boss's car, while the first boss sat in the back seat behind her without saying a word and looked out the window.

In such a closed space as a car, wouldn't it feel awkward if the three of us were together but had nothing to say?

Dong Qianqian felt like she was almost suffering from embarrassment because she would always talk about something when she was riding in someone else's car. But in the presence of these two people, they seemed to get along very naturally without having to talk about anything.

Even if they chat, the way they chat is not acceptable to ordinary people.

Dong Qianqian suddenly had an idea,

Otherwise, next time I come to the United States,

Just don't follow me,

So as not to appear,

Superfluous!

"If the Murdoch family really wants to take over MySpace, Sachs will definitely sell it?"

Li Ying drove the car at a steady speed on the way to San Francisco Airport.

She saw Dong Qianqian beside her who was bored and even a little embarrassed, so she simply found a topic to chat about.

As soon as she spoke, she glanced in the rearview mirror.

Just in time, Ning Zimo's eyes met in the mirror.

Realizing that she was trying to alleviate Dong Qianqian's embarrassment through chatting, Ning Zimo raised the corners of his mouth and leaned back to cooperate, "Well, as long as it exceeds 2 billion, it is a good business, so no matter what Sachs talks about, it doesn't matter to us

Good thing.

After all, Sachs had made countless attempts during the period when I increased capital in 2004, but the nature of the crowd had already defined myspace. Therefore, myspace, which was operated alone, lacked any profit points, so it was better to sell it.

Then I will entrust Blizzard to develop several small games through third-party development. Combined with Facebook’s high-quality people, I will re-create a new social platform.”

It's not that I have to give up myspace because of Facebook. In fact, as myspace has gone so far, I have also summed up some new things while watching it with a cold eye.

In the final analysis, myspace is just a superficial attempt in the early social era of Omi Internet. If and when people discover that there are more entertainment projects on the Internet, myspace will be abandoned sooner or later.

Just like Jiucheng Community in the early days of Zhonghua Internet, in that era when Zhonghua Internet was lacking in entertainment, Jiucheng Community had many entertainment projects in the web era.

Mini-games such as futures markets and shops. Players can buy decorations to decorate their small houses, and can choose jobs such as cooking, hunting, and fishing. Sometimes the good things caught in fishing or hunting can be

Put it in your own small room. In that era when QQ had just come out, the Ninetowns community only had small games that combined pictures and text, which made people have endless fun playing.

But after a few years, "Millennium", "Stone Tools", and "Magic" appeared, and even later the well-known "Legend", "Miracle", and "Journey to the West" came out. I am afraid that many people no longer know

I remember, I didn’t even know that there was such a simple and happy existence as Jiucheng Community.

Besides, after two years of operation, myspace in the previous life was targeted by News Corporation, which was focusing on the Internet advertising market, and acquired it for 580 million. And News Corporation’s acquisition, which was a huge sum, scared Zuckerberg to take the initiative.

They wanted to sell Facebook to the founders of MySpace for US$75 million. If it weren't for the founders of MySpace, who still didn't have much cash after selling MySpace, Facebook would have become someone else's toy in its previous life.

Not to mention that in the previous life, Google invested US$900 million in advertising costs on the newly acquired Myspace after attaching importance to Internet social networks.

Although the cooperation between the two proved to be a failure, if all the knowledge about the past life were connected together and these trivial information became a new possibility, wouldn't it become a new world of one and another?

"It is rumored that News Corporation's valuation of Myspace exceeds 3 billion," Li Ying paused, glanced at Ning Zimo in the back row, and said, "This value is much higher than the 2 billion you expected."

Ning Zimo smiled enigmatically, not wanting to explain at first. But in the end, the topic that Li Ying deliberately opened was for Dong Qianqian to hear, so he had to explain:

"Myspace is the same as Skype. Asset value alone cannot reflect the company's fundamental level. Therefore, the valuation method of p/bv (book value, book value) multiples is not applicable, so p/gm (gross margin, gross profit margin) is mostly used.

) multiples.

Moreover, the abnormal market conditions during the Internet bubble have just passed, so I predict that News Corporation will not refer to the price-to-earnings ratio valuation method to evaluate the value of myspace. So, all in all, it will only refer to operating income, cash capacity and gross profit margin.

These are the key points.”

Although there are all kinds of surprise work done by actuaries to make assessments, Murdoch, who was in his previous life, could not stand what he said confidently in an interview:

"We bought MySpace today for 580 million U.S. dollars, and we can sell it for 6 billion U.S. dollars one month later."

Ning Zimo dismissed the arrogant old man's boring speculation in his heart. But the old man turned into a money-giving boy, and earning his money was no psychological burden to Ning Zimo at all.

Ning Zimo curled his lips when he thought of this, "Google's three-year, one-billion-dollar advertising deal was something News Corporation never expected, and Bing's involvement in a two-year, $200 million contract is my usual method of raising valuations before selling.

You know, the year before last and the year before last, I invested 40 million US dollars in myspace and increased my holdings of 19% of myspace shares. So for me, if I can really get 2 billion in revenue, it is really a good business."

In 2003 and 2004, Ning Zimo did not let LinkedIn, MySpace, and ACS use the introduction of capital to continue their development. Instead, he used increased capital investment to increase the confidence of his partners.

But this money is not given in vain. 100 million yuan of capital has been continuously increased. Except for LinkedIn, which only invested 20 million and increased its holdings by 10% due to the support of the rich man Hoffman, Ning Zimo is the two projects of mysapce and acs.

Each spent 40 million US dollars to increase its holdings of 19% of the shares. Using this inherent method, Ning Zimo still handed over various operating rights to his partners.

"Master, it turns out that the 2 billion you mentioned refers to your unilateral income of 2 billion?"

Dong Qianqian blinked her big eyes and turned her head, only to find that her boss was still sitting calmly in the back seat, looking at her with clear eyes.

Dong Qianqian suddenly had a feeling.

seem,

The life of the rich,

It's so simple, unpretentious and boring.

After working with Dong Qianqian for so long, Ning Zimo still doesn't know what this girl is thinking when she looks at him?

In fact, since the listing of Luban Technology in his previous life, Ning Zimo has increasingly realized the reality that money is just a number. It is this sense of reality that allows him to dare to take risks and do many long-term things in this life.

Something that was impossible in the previous life.

I need money, a lot of money. The money is to be used for big things, and there is nothing to hide for this purpose.

So along the way, I have stepped into all the ways to make a lot of money, for the sake of the big world in the future.

Although this journey seemed smooth before, in fact it was because I selectively avoided too many risks when I did not have enough strength to survive the wind and waves.

It's just that apart from those things on the surface, there are so many things about themselves that they don't know about with the rebirth plug-in!

"Then this is where you plan to use the money?"

Li Ying looked over in the rearview mirror, and as their eyes crossed, a new topic came up that made Dong Qianqian helpless.

There!

where?

When you are with the first boss and the second boss, the market will have such inexplicable words that only the two of them can understand.

Dong Qianqian still felt that her secretary had no meaning in existence.

Facing his tacit confidant from the previous life in the rearview mirror, Ning Zimo was naturally extremely calm.

He nodded, "Well, this is also the main reason why I have been trying to delay it. It's not because I was poor some time ago!"
