Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

When it comes to who is the best at bluffing people, Wang Zheng actually knows one.

Elizabeth Holmes, this girl has now become the representative of American Dream. She is on TV all day and night, promoting crowdfunding websites.

The crowdfunding network has grown too fast in her hands. I have to admit that this person has extremely strong management skills and is also very good at deceiving people.

In just two months, the crowdfunding website, which has already received financing, has developed rapidly, with the number of users exceeding 10 million.

Moreover, the website’s projects are becoming more and more abundant, and it is about to exceed 10,000 crowdfunding projects.

Although Wang Zheng has not paid much attention to its development, he is also very aware of the thorns behind such flowers.

The hardest part of crowdfunding is project management.

It is not easy for a company to manage several or even dozens of projects at the same time. It requires a lot of manpower and a complete management system.

Crowdfunding websites, on the other hand, may seem like they don’t need to manage specific projects, but this is actually not the case.

Strict review is required before crowdfunding to ensure that the project is not deceiving people to make money.

When crowdfunding ends and the loan is released, responsibilities also need to be clearly defined to ensure that the project subject can actually use the money for production.

There is also the final delivery or refund stage, and the crowdfunding network must also ensure that the goods or funds reach the users smoothly.

To complete these things, the number of manpower required is not a small number. Just consider the more than 20 people Elizabeth currently has?

It's impossible to do it.

What's more, the American League may not be a humane society, but it pursues the supremacy of money.

Who can guarantee that review employees will not reach out for money and deliberately relax access conditions?

When there are more thunderstorms, the crowdfunding model will be completely abandoned by capital.

I still have to remind Elizabeth that she must strengthen project management. If the funds are insufficient, continue to raise funds to push up the valuation, so that Wang Zheng can sell his shares at a good price.

Wang Zheng predicts that after two more rounds of financing, the valuation of the crowdfunding network will reach its peak and his shares will be reduced to about 20%. At that time, it will be the most appropriate time to take action.

An excellent tool like Elizabeth Holmes should not be used in vain.

As the anointed representative of the American League dream, Elizabeth, who was enjoying great success at this time, did not know that she had been arranged again.

But before that, he had to find a suitable channel to make graphene famous in the world in advance.

In the future, there are overwhelming reports that the discovery of graphene will trigger a revolution in electronic technology. Wang Zheng is very interested in this and has some understanding after checking.

In 2004, two professors from the University of Manchester in Eagle Country used tape to stick and tear off a graphite sheet, split the graphite sheet into two parts, and finally obtained a graphite sheet with a two-dimensional structure. They made this normal-temperature solid state

The two-dimensional structural material has been renamed graphene.

Then in 2009, the two discovered the "Hall effect" and the "quantum Hall effect" on graphene, for which they won the Nobel Prize in 2010.

What is the use of this Hall effect? ​​The simplest example is the speedometer in a car, various signal sensors, etc.

That’s why graphene will become a craze in the short term. If it weren’t for the battery field, other cheaper and more suitable materials have been developed in the chip field, and their performance is not much worse. This graphene will be hot for a while.

Eh?

If we could find the right people in China to discover the "quantum Hall effect" of graphene, would this Nobel Prize be awarded?

Wang Zheng thought about it carefully and found that it was not impossible.

If this kind of thing that makes people famous has been discovered, it can't be hidden and waited for 6 years before it is released, right?

Of course, it is also possible that the two Nobel Prize winners did not research in that area.

Having made up his mind, Wang Zheng planned to find a suitable reason to go to Eagle Country in person to find out the details first.

…

About three days passed, and after a short interview, WeChat’s new CEO Steve Angus and Alpha’s new CEO Jed Raymond both arrived.

Steve Angus was previously responsible for the globalization of MSN at Microsoft. Of course, he is very familiar with the WeChat business that fully benchmarks and surpasses MSN, so he is also familiar with it.

It only took one day to get familiar with the company, and I submitted a strategy for global development in unison with the sister company Meta community.

The three swords of the new WE browser, 365 Navigation and Huorong Security come out together to clear the way for WeChat and Meta communities to overcome obstacles in Europe.

Wang Zhengze was involved in Alpha Company.

It has to be said that some people are favored by God.

Jade is one of the few women who combines beauty and intelligence. After working with her for two days, Wang Zheng felt that her way of thinking was different from most people.

For example, the way she recruits new people is to play games with her, maybe FPS-type "Global Offensive" or "DNF". If it is difficult for new people to get started, no matter how strong their abilities are, she will definitely not let them play.

In her words, this is a game company. If you can't get started with a game in half an hour, why would such a person come?

Soon, the company recruited a team of 24 people, including 12 operators and 12 developers, which is very evenly divided.

In the office, Wang Zheng and Jade sat facing each other.

Wang Zheng was playing with his coffee cup and asked: "Jed, what do you think of e-sports competitions?"

"Are you referring to WCG?" After receiving a positive reply, Jed shrugged: "It's a great competition, but it's a pity that it only happens once a year. I don't quite understand why some games that are not competitive can still be on the list. stage, and the prize money is a bit small.”

"Does the "Global Offensive" game we are about to represent have the quality to enter the competitive stage?"

"Of course, this is a great game. The original CS1.6 version, although there are fewer maps, has richer tactics and is more entertaining and competitive."

After getting the answer he wanted, Wang Zheng was relieved. After all, he didn't play many games, and after not playing for several years, he had almost forgotten many of them.

Before getting feedback from professionals, he really doesn't know whether the current simplified version of "Global Offensive" still has the qualities required for competitive games.

Having said this, Wang Zheng put the cup on the table and said seriously: "Jed, you know the NBA Major League, if we use "Global Offensive" as the content, we form an e-sports league and hold regular seasons and seasons every year. What do you think about the playoffs and finals, and giving the champion a large bonus?"

Jade looked at Wang Zheng in surprise. He was stunned for a moment before praising: "Justin, such a creative idea! This idea is so perfect!"

After a moment of excitement, Jed quickly said calmly: "But you have to know that setting up a club, discovering and training players is not an easy task. The NBA has formed an industry chain for this. And to be honest,

, "Global Offensive" is not yet online, who knows whether enough people will really like it and pay for its games."

"Then let's develop a new game that everyone can enjoy!"
