My Age of Investment

  Chapter 127 Alexa Ranking

  After signing the formal investment agreement, Xia Jingxing must transfer 400,000 US dollars of investment funds to the company account registered in Luxembourg within one week in accordance with the investment agreement.

  One of the reasons why Scape chose to register the company here is the value-added tax. The value-added tax in the Principality of Luxembourg is only 15%, which is the lowest in the entire European Union.

  In addition, Luxembourg’s environment is very beautiful, and it will not receive legal documents or subpoenas from other countries. In the future, the Scape team intends to relocate its headquarters here.

  Xia Jingxing does not have 400,000 US dollars in cash, so he can only sell part of Amicco stock.

  He opens the stock account.

  At this time, it is the end of August, and the stock price of Amicco is relatively stable, fluctuating around $12.

  He sold 40,725 shares at an average price of US$12.14, withdrew more than US$494,000 in funds, and left 1.11 million Amicco shares in his hands.

On a trip to Tallinn, he and Andrew spent almost 10,000 U.S. dollars, and then paid Andrew 5,000 U.S. dollars in remuneration. After paying 400,000 U.S. dollars in investment funds to Scape, he added up to the 50,000 U.S. dollars that he had left before going to Hong Kong. There is 130,000 US dollars left in his hand.

  He didn't invest the money in Amicco stock anymore, because the yield is not high anymore, and now he is a boss, it is better to keep a little liquidity in his hand.

  …………

After returning to the United States, Liu Jinhang called Xia Jingxing when he was in the taxi from the airport to Stanford.

   "Mr. Xia, why did you sell more than 40,000 shares? I think the stock price of Amicco is relatively stable. There is no bad news recently?"

  Xia Jingxing thinks this old man is too suspicious, but now the two parties are partners, the loan is due next year, and this old man still needs to take care of it.

  He doesn’t know how much the old man has invested in this stock, but it shouldn’t be less.

  Patience to explain to the old man, “I’m not trying to run away. Look how many stocks in my account were bought in block trades? They all need to be locked for a year, and I can’t run if I want to run.

  I recently invested in a project with hundreds of thousands of dollars and sold a fraction of it to ease the funding pressure. "

  After Liu Jinhang heard this, he let go of a lot of doubts. Most of the stocks in Xia Jingxing's hands were bought through block trades. At this time, if you want to withdraw, you can't withdraw.

  He didn't ask what project Xia Jingxing had invested. After all, everyone has privacy. If Xia Jingxing didn't talk about it, he wouldn't ask.

   "Haha, Mr. Xia was joking, and I have time to play golf together..."

  Xia Jingxing dealt with a few words and hung up the phone.

   "Who?" Andrew asked.

   "Old Liu from First Securities, he is getting older and less courageous..."

  Andrew smiled and listened to Xia Jingxing's complaints about Liu Jinhang.

  He was not idle this summer. First, he helped Xia Jingxing get a loan, then he helped with investment green card and angel investment. He also went to Dongying in the middle to help the little dog also get an investment green card.

  With a few orders, the initial investment of $250,000 in Facebook has returned one-fifth of the original cost.

  I also took a trip to Dongying, China, and Estonia. Don’t have a great summer vacation!

  Getting off the taxi in Building G of the incubation base, Xia Jing walked upstairs, and saw that the employees were working in an orderly manner.

  The little dog also went back to Dongying. The main work of a summer vacation was done by foreign girls.

   Seeing Xia Jingxing pushing his suitcase and carrying a backpack into the office, many employees took a second look.

   "Boss, you are back!"

  The little dog rushed up with joy, carried the backpack he had grabbed Xia Jingxing on his body, and faithfully acted as the little brother of the bag.

  Andrew pointed to his suitcase, “Dog, don’t patronize the boss, don’t the investors leave it?”

  The little dog woke up instantly and carried Andrew's suitcase over.

  A group of people laughed and came to the door of Yang Niu’s office.

  The office door was open, and the babes were looking at the computer intently, without noticing the arrival of Xia Jingxing and others.

   knocked on the door and coughed twice, but Christina remained indifferent.

  Xia Jingxing simply walked in, "What are you looking at? So fascinated?"

  The foreign girl was taken aback and patted her towering chest, "Oh, I was scared to death!"

   "Hey, when did you come back?"

   "I just got off the plane and haven't returned to the dormitory yet. I want to come and see you first."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "This summer, you and the dog have worked hard."

  The little dog waved his hand, "I went back to Dongying in July, and Christina is the biggest hero."

  Looking for a chair to sit down at will, Xia Jingxing began to inquire about the company's recent development.

  Little Dog and Andrew also found a chair each and prepared to listen.

   "Don't worry about that, you first look at this."

  The girl turned the laptop one position, towards Xia Jingxing.

  Xia Jingxing went up and took a look, "Is this the Alexa ranking?"

Alexa is an American company born in 1996. Its software is called Alexa Toolbar, which is a tool embedded in Microsoft Internet Explorer. When the user visits each page, it sends back a string of code to Alexa. Tell Alexa about the browsing information.

  The Alexa database takes these data and information to perform a statistics and ranking of web page views.

  Ranking is divided into comprehensive ranking and classified website ranking.

  Although the data may not be completely correct, Alexa’s “Global Website Ranking” is still attracting worldwide attention just like the “Fortune 500 list” launched by Fortune magazine and the “Global Rich List” selected by Forbes.

  Two websites of the same type, if you want to PK, just measure the Alexa ranking directly.

  How does the website make money?

  Because the “installed capacity” of the Alexa toolbar in the world has already reached tens of millions, it can monitor the browsing habits of global netizens, and develop and sell various related products.

  In addition to the global website ranking list with up to 100,000 URLs, there are also ranking analysis for certain industry-specific websites, and website traffic monitoring reports customized for individual websites.

  This company was acquired by Amazon in 1999 and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the latter.

  Amazon and Facebook are a strategic partnership, so they can get a real-time ranking of website data.

  And if you don’t pay, you can only watch the free list updated every three months.

  Xia Jingxing took a closer look at the list. Although Facebook’s overall ranking is not very good, it lags far behind Yahoo, Google, and Amazon.

  But in the classification of social networking sites, it ranks first.

   "What's wrong?" Xia Jingxing asked.

  The foreign girl sighed, "You look at the second place statistic again?"

  Xia Jingxing did.

  Second place......Daoyou.com......

   "Fack, their data climbs so fast?"

  Xia Jingxing took a closer look and found that the daily unique visitors UV and daily visits PV of Dating.com are very close to Facebook.

  The foreign girl nodded, “Alexa has issued us an analysis report. In the past two months, the data on Diaoyou.com has almost doubled every month.

  Even in Southeast Asia, there are hundreds of thousands of users. "

  "Did they have users in Southeast Asia?"

  Xia Jingxing's face was surprised, but her heart was full of ecstasy, and the brother was still on the same path.

  The foreign girl was a little sad, "Yes, we kept clamoring to be international, but we got ahead of Dating.com."

  "Don't worry about this, too fast development is not necessarily a good thing." Xia Jingxing comforted.

  "What about us? How has the data increased in the last two months?"

  Andrew was also a little worried when he heard that Dingyou.com's data has caught up with Facebook.

  The foreign girl gave a wry smile, “Because the students are on vacation, our expansion will naturally be greatly affected.

  But fortunately, because of our large user base, students continue to recommend classmates to register during the summer vacation. At present, the total number of user registrations has exceeded 5 million. "

  Xia Jingxing and Nicholas and others boasted that Facebook had 5 million users, but in fact it was a bit short. At that time, it was only more than 4 million, and he deliberately reported it a little higher.

  He was also very happy to hear that the number of users exceeded 5 million, and asked: "When did the breakthrough occur?"

   "Just yesterday, I haven't had time to inform you."

  Xia Jingxing clapped his hands, "Great, universities are about to open soon, we have to plan activities quickly, and strive to push the number of users to the 10 million mark in one fell swoop within three months!"

  Looking at Xia Jingxing, who was very calm and confident with a smile on his face, the babes also found the backbone.

  She has been worried for the past two months, fearing that the data will suddenly be surpassed by Dating.com.

  Now that Darren is back, she can catch her breath.
