Reborn? The Kind You Can Choose!

“Penguin was launched so quickly?”

Yan Wan Ning was sitting in the driver's seat and obviously heard what Zhou Wei said.

"Huh? You're not in the dormitory?"

Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, his focus was always so different: "Why is there a female voice?"

"Okay, I get it!"

However, Yuan Zhou hung up the phone directly. He was afraid that if he continued to chat with Zhou Wei, something else would come out of his mouth, so he simply interrupted all his follow-up.

"Now, do you still want to go to my company?"

Yan Wan Ning blinked at Yuan Zhou, and Yuan Zhou smiled: "Go, why not?"

"Let's acquire your company first!"

"Penguin...just let him play for a day!"

Yuan Zhou seemed not to have cared about Penguin re-launching the classmates network at all. In fact, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Penguin would be launched faster than he expected.

Only 2 days later, it made a comeback.

I have to say that Penguin’s copy and development capabilities are indeed second to none.

"You're not worried at all?"

"It seems that all my worries just now were too much!"

Yan Wan Ning looked at Yuan Zhou's confident face, but she suddenly felt a little more looking forward to the upcoming battle between the school network and the classmates network.

The industry is actually also optimistic about this battle between social networking sites.

They are all waiting for the final result, and then take advantage of the chaos to regain lost ground.

11 a.m., Penguin headquarters.

An hour ago, they just launched the redesigned Classmate Network, which is completely different from the previous one in terms of interface and aesthetics.

It can be said that although the current classmate network is consistent with the school network in terms of use and functions, at first glance, no one will think that it is plagiarism.

In other words, the current version of Classmate Network is more biased towards the future QQ space.

Penguin is still the same Penguin, and the aesthetics and some development logic of their development department are still converged on QQ Space. This has to be said to be a coincidence.

"Zhidong, how are you?"

Ma Huateng had just finished a video conference with several investment companies, confirmed the listing location, and eagerly walked into the development department.

"very nice!"

Zhang Zhidong showed a rare smile, his eyes were all red and bloodshot, and his eye circles were also dark.

In the past few days, their department and Xu Liangcheng's team have been working overtime without a moment's rest. Finally, they have developed a new version of the classmates network, and the internal testing has been completely OK.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Ma Huateng pursed his lips and slapped Zhang Zhidong hard on the shoulder.

Zhang Zhidong yawned, and then clicked on the background data of the classmates network: "At 10 o'clock, we pushed the whole network and sent a letter of apology. Now the number of registered people has exceeded 1.5 million, and the number of people online has reached 800,000! "

"This stickiness is much better than the classmates network released before!"

Zhang Zhidong couldn't bear it anymore.

Ma Huateng waved to him: "Go and take a rest, leave this place to me!"

"Well, I'm going to sleep first!"

"Don't call me to eat at noon..."

Zhang Zhidong dragged his tired body towards the conference room, which had a temporary lounge for people to sleep.

"800,000 people online...not bad!"

Ma Huateng sat in Zhang Zhidong's seat, browsing various data on the classmates' website, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. In the past two days, it can be said that the entire Penguin Company has been under great pressure.

Whether it is the fishing boats from the outside world or the capital behind Penguin, they are all dissatisfied with Ma Huateng's hasty launch of the classmate network a few days ago.

"pony, what did you say at the listing meeting?"

Xu Chengye pushed open the glass door behind Ma Huateng.

"Xiangjiang, it's settled, we will go public in Xiangjiang!"

Ma Huateng knew Xu Chengye's purpose. As the chief information officer of Penguin, he must pay more attention to the company's listing than the product itself.

As one of the five founders of Penguin, Xu Chengye is mainly responsible for the strategic planning and development of website property and community, customer relations and public relations.

Going public is his business scope.

"Xiangjiang? Just a single market?"

Xu Chengye frowned a little: "Is Goldman Sachs so conservative?"

"Well, Goldman Sachs's valuation of our company is around 100 million US dollars...

Ma Huateng shrugged and pointed to the classmates network in front of him: "It was supposed to be 600 million, but the sudden emergence of the school network was very detrimental to our valuation. They are actually somewhat optimistic about this company!"

"Nonsense, Goldman Sachs is deliberately lowering its valuation!"

Xu Chengye got a little angry: "Tom went public a week ago and was oversubscribed 200 times. Its market value has now exceeded that of NetEase and Sina. They obviously want to lower the valuation in order to obtain maximum investment returns!"

Tom is an Internet company in Hong Kong. It was officially listed in the United States and Hong Kong on March 11. After listing, it not only broke the over-subscription record, but also refreshed two histories.

It is the first Internet company listed in Hong Kong and the first Chinese Internet company to be listed on Nasdaq and Hong Kong Growth Enterprise Market at the same time.

The main reason is that TOM Group is controlled by the family of Li Chaoren, the richest man in Hong Kong. Its president, Wang Lei, is even more awesome. His grandfather was the first director of China's General Administration of Telecommunications and the first head of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

Both the United States and Hong Kong are very optimistic about this company. After all, China's political and business participation means that everyone knows its prospects.

...Please give me flowers...

Penguin was originally preparing to be listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, but after seeing TOM's subscription, investors felt that they could take advantage of this wave of popularity to replicate the TOM myth again.

After all, there is also the Superman Li family behind Penguin.

His son, Superboy Li Zekai, previously owned 20% of Penguin's shares, but it was sold to the South African company MIH in 2001, but even so, his influence is still there.

"Forget it, Lao Liu is mediating, we still have time to add chips!"

"If we defeat the school network, I estimate that the valuation can be doubled. The future value of the classmates network will be immeasurable!"

A cold light flashed in Ma Huateng's eyes. Xu Chengye next to him was stunned and said in disbelief: "The classmates website... is that important?"

“Important and very convenient!”

"Goldman Sachs reduced our valuation by US$100 million because of the variable Xiaonei.com. With their shrewdness, it is obvious that the think tank behind it has seen the future prospects of social networking sites, so they gave us such a Put pressure on!"

0

"If we completely bind QQ to our classmates, it will be a social form. This will have immeasurable benefits for our listing valuation!"

"Old Xu, these guys are watching a show!"

Ma Huateng could guess what the capital behind it was doing, but Xu Chengye was a little worried and said: "When you said that, I suddenly felt that there was some force that paralyzed the colonel.

"If any big group buys shares, wouldn't it be difficult to deal with it?"

In fact, this is what Penguin is worried about right now.

They are afraid of the entry of capital, so they directly inject capital into the school network. In that case, the classmates network will definitely have a big fight with the school network in the future.

"That's exactly what I'm telling you!"

"I specifically asked Zhifan before, and she is very accurate in judging people. Yuan Zhou is young and energetic, and it is said that he is not short of money, so he probably won't accept the employer's move!"

"Young people definitely like to have things in their own hands!"

Ma Huateng said in a tone of experience: "So, my personal preference is that Yuan Zhou will not accept funding from investment banks. He is very confident in himself!"

"A confident person doesn't like others to tell him what to do!!"

"This is our opportunity!"

When Ma Huateng said this, he glanced at the background data of the classmates network. At this time, the number of registered people had exceeded 2 million, and the number of simultaneous online visits had also exceeded 1 million.

This is definitely a very eye-catching data.

“The new features that Xu Liangcheng’s team came up with this time are really good!”

Ma Huateng subconsciously clicked into his classmates' online space, ready to experience it for himself. .
