My Age of Investment

  Chapter 315 The fire has gone to the country

After pretending to persecute the dog and receiving the photos via email, the next day he posted a photo of the three and Bill Gates to Facebook.

  This photo attracted comments from a large number of friends of Little Dog, and also attracted the attention of the media.

  On the same day, the news on the theme of "Gates invites the three founders of Facebook to have dinner" was released quickly.

  The media have speculated about why Gates invited the three founders of Facebook to host a dinner.

  Some people say that Gates admires the three young people, and some people say that Gates wants to buy Facebook and YouTube.

  The news has a nose and eye, and even the purchase price has been drawn up, 10 billion US dollars, a wholly-owned acquisition.

  This kind of news with exaggerated headlines and content is always the most eye-catching, bringing a lot of traffic and sales to related media.

  The media also came to interview the three founders of Facebook and Bill Gates.

  "...Mr. Gates is a user of Youtube and is very interested in the operation mode of the website, so we were invited to give an introduction.

  Microsoft acquires Facebook and YouTube? There is no such thing, the media speculated wildly.

Cooperation? Without discussing cooperation, I simply had a meal, but Mr. Gates’ house is very beautiful, which is true. "

  ……

  Faced with the reporter’s interview, Xia Jingxing hurriedly did not want to disclose confidential information on cooperation and investment between the two parties now.

  Gates did the same, and gave reporters nonsense.

  "Dalun is a very good young man. I am very interested in the story of their dropping out of school and starting a business.

  In them, I seem to see myself back then.

  The most promising company in Silicon Valley? I agree with this view, because these three young people will always surprise you..."

  Although the parties on both sides have been interviewed and clarified, there are still many conspiracy theorists who do not believe it and feel that the two parties must have reached some secret agreement.

  Regardless of whether it is true or not, the media will only choose to report in a direction that is beneficial to them.

  With the help of the media secretly, the entire Silicon Valley and the entire United States thought that Facebook was going to be sold, and it was a sky-high price of 10 billion U.S. dollars!

  As for Xia Jingxing and Gates’ interview replies, in their eyes, they have become a disguise.

  Saving people with oneself, with a $10 billion acquisition offer, can you sell the company?

  Most people think that the three founders of Facebook will definitely not be able to withstand this huge temptation.

  Although there have been many news that Facebook is about to be acquired before, the protagonists of the story are Google, Yahoo, Viacom, Amazon, eaby...

  But it didn’t come true this time.

  Three young people, less than three years after starting a business, the company built was acquired by the world's richest man for 10 billion U.S. dollars.

  What could be more topical than this?

  This incident intensified and finally became a carnival for media reporters.

  Countless people in the media commented and analyzed the matter.

  Some people say that Facebook and YouTube are not worth the price, and some people say that Microsoft has made a good deal.

  Different reviews and opinions.

  Shareholders and friends saw relevant news and called Xia Jingxing one after another, asking if they were true or false.

Xia Jingxing took the trouble to explain them one by one.

   "That's 10 billion U.S. dollars? You just rejected it?"

  Huang Xindu, who had not been in contact for a long time, called Xia Jingxing and asked in surprise on the other end of the phone.

  Xia Jingxing smiled bitterly, this media is so good, black can be said to be white, and then use huge public opinion to distort facts.

  However, they have also benefited from this matter, and they have greatly promoted Facebook and YouTube.

  Many startups are using this kind of routine to speculate high valuations.

  Look for big people to stand, endorse, then public relations media, hype up fame, and then venture capital comes to the door.

  However, Facebook did not spend money, and the media and the Internet all spontaneously help propaganda.

  Looking at it from another angle, Xia Jingxing felt that he should say to them: Good people have a safe life!

  Because of 10 billion U.S. dollars, it may become a reality after talking.

   Holding the phone, Xia Jingxing replied to Huang Xin: “Fake news, you are all deceived by the unscrupulous media. They want to use this matter to sell more newspapers or increase the popularity of news websites.”

  Huang Xin continued to ask: "If Gates really offered 10 billion U.S. dollars, would you not sell the company? You know, in China, no Internet company has reached a valuation or market value of over 10 billion U.S. dollars."

   "It won't sell, it won't sell for 20 billion dollars..."

  Hurrying to end this topic, Xia Jingxing began to ask Huang Xin what he was up to recently.

   As expected by Xia Jingxing, the wandering picture turned yellow, but Huang Xin, who has a cement factory at home, did not stop tossing, and started his own business again, without any rest in between.

  Huang Xin’s latest entrepreneurial project is called justinput, which is a pinyin input method.

  Xia Jingxing has never heard of it.

  Actually, from the beginning of 2004 to the end of 2005, Huang Xin changed an entrepreneurial project in an average of two months for more than a year.

  I am afraid that only the person involved knows which projects have been carried out and how many times have been started.

  Huang Xin was embarrassed to mention investment matters, and Xia Jingxing did not ask.

  After chatting a few words, Xia Jingxing hung up the phone.

  Next, Wang Wei of Tudou.com called Xia Jingxing.

   First congratulations to Facebook’s valuation of tens of billions of dollars, and then talks about Tudou.

  On the other side of the phone, Wang Wei said: “Tudou.com will be online next week. How should we promote it?”

  "How to promote? You ask the media to post a PR draft, and Tudou has obtained investment from a fund of 100 billion CEO Xia Jingxing..."

  Wang Wei smiled a few times, "Ahem, in fact, I think so too.

Not only the U.S., but news about you is coming to China, and the media is about to praise you as a national hero. I came to America at the age of 18 to work hard, dropped out of school and started a business, defeated Google, convinced Bill Gates, and created a Chinese appraisal. The most valuable Internet company...

   Facebook valuation is about equal to Shanda + Sina + Sohu + Netease + Penguin......

  Anyway, you are very hot now, I wonder if Tudou can take advantage of this wave of heat.

  In terms of business form, we are targeting oil pipes.

   And Tudou also has something to do with you. You are the second largest shareholder of Tudou. "

  Xia Jingxing understood, and said with a smile: “It’s okay, you want to get me to endorse Tudou, right? Do whatever you want.

  But there is a premise, don’t go too far. "

   "I know, you can rest assured, there must be a sense of measure."

  Wang smiled slightly and said that he has worked at Bertelsmann and has rich media experience.

  The news of “Gates’ tens of billions of dollars to acquire an Internet company founded by a 20-year-old Chinese student” was noticed by him as soon as it spread to China.

  Then he keenly discovered the value that could be used in it, and bundled marketing.

  "Um, Jingxing, do you have any suggestions? As you said before, you must design a marketing plan for Tudou.com, so that Tudou.com will reach 100,000 users in one month and millions of users in three months."

  Xia Jingxing remembered, and said, "Go to Hunan Satellite TV and take down the online broadcasting rights of their "Super Girl"."

  Wang slightly frowned, "Is this useful? They did it once last year, it doesn't seem to be great, right?"

   "Just do as I suggest. This kind of talent show is very suitable for Tudou.com.

  Hurry up to recruit some people, go to various competition areas, start to track and record the highlights from the audition stage, and then get some of their recorded videos from the program team.

  Put these videos on Tudou.com and make columns in a certain order.

  Those users who missed the TV broadcast time will definitely come to Tudou for sightseeing. "

  Wang Wei is dubious. He thinks Xia Jingxing has some truth in what he said, but all of this has to be based on the popularity of the show.

  He decided to study the show carefully to see if it has the potential as Xia Jingxing said.

   "Okay, I will come down and study it."

  Xia Jingxing frowned and started Buddhism again, reminding: "This program is about to start audition, and the time left for Tudou.com is running out.

  Shoot when it's time to do it, don't hesitate. "

   "But what if the show is not popular? Our company may be out of money."

  Although I don’t know how much money it will cost to win the program’s network broadcasting rights, Wang Wei knows that it will definitely not be cheaper.

  Maybe, one million dollars of financing will have to be spent.

   "Don't worry, if you lose, I will add another investment to Tudou."

  With Xia Jingxing’s promise, Wang Wei felt more at ease and said: “Okay, I will take the network broadcasting rights of this program as quickly as possible.”

  Xia Jingxing thought about it, this year there is still SP service, which is mobile value-added service.

  By signing a contract with a telecom operator, it becomes its SP service provider, providing users with various forms of services such as SMS, MMS, ringtones, pictures, and WAP Internet access. Internet companies can get a portion of the money.

  "Go and ask the program team to see if you can also contract the SP business of the program, and if you make money, you can divide it into a part of the producer."

  Wang Wei scratched his head again, how hot should this show be? Can also make money through SP business.

   "But we don't have a wireless value-added service license?"

  Wang Wei said: “I have been supervised once and want to get a certificate. It’s a bit difficult.”

   "Okay, I will solve it, you can do as I said first."

  After finishing speaking, hung up, Xia Jingxing called Chen Hong again.

   "This certificate? It's easy to handle, you find me the right person..."

  Chen Hong Barabalah has a lot. He told Xia Jingxing that the relevant departments have tightened the issuance of certificates. There is no strong relationship with the telecommunications department, so it is really difficult to get this certificate.

  Xia Jingxing repeatedly thanked him, of course he knew how muddy the water was.

   When SP was first born in 2000, its annual income was only about 10 million yuan, and after ten years it was 150 billion, accounting for one-third of mobile revenue.

The depth of the Internet inside    is unpredictable. When the accident happened, many well-known Internet companies were investigated, including Penguin’s Zeng Liqing, who had been invited to have tea.

   However, Tudou makes a small amount of money and does not have so many worries. It is better to operate in a law-abiding manner.
