Save the Bachelor of Heaven

However, Cheng Ji refused to listen to her father's suggestion, she already had her own idea. She plans to follow the example of Facebook in the United States and create a Chinese version of the social platform.

"Although the video platform will be popular, it is not suitable for the mainland environment." Cheng Ji analyzed to his father, "Because our mainland copyright protection is not strong, there are pirated resources all over the Internet, and we can't help it, and we can't build a healthy ecosystem. .

Moreover, the mobility of netizens is too great. One day he watches this video, and tomorrow he may go to other websites to watch other videos, and he cannot stay.

But social relationships are different. It builds a social relationship on our site that makes it impossible to hang out on other sites. So social networking sites are more reliable. "

Hearing what she said, Xiang Nan couldn't help admiring his daughter's intelligence.

Indeed, social platforms are the most difficult to replace.

The payment system also competes with WeChat and Alipay; the video platform also includes Youku, iQiyi, Bilibili, and Tencent Video; the news platform also includes Toutiao and Yidianxin; the live broadcast platform also includes Huya and Douyu...

Only the social platform is always the only one, and you can't grab it if you want to.

The daughter can understand this at a young age, and she is worthy of his seed.

...

In the second half of 2006, Cheng Ji launched his own social platform, named Weibo.

Because before this, the concept of the blog has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Similar to blogs, Weibo is also a platform for netizens to express their thoughts, but there is a limit on the number of words, so it is named [Weibo].

After the Weibo platform was launched, Xiang Nan gave great support and ordered all the artists under the platform to register and share their updates. Although it is managed by celebrities in name, in fact, most of the staff behind the scenes are the staff.

The reason for this is mainly because most stars have no culture.

Although most of the artists under Kylin Films are college graduates, their scores in the cultural subjects of the college entrance examination were only three to four hundred points. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are still at the level of a junior college. Anyone who graduated from a bachelor's degree has a higher culture than them.

Coupled with their star status, they are surrounded by flowers and applause all the year round, one or two are a little swollen, and they don't know themselves clearly. So let them take care of Weibo by themselves, I am afraid that it will be revealed in a few days, so it is better to let the staff take care of it.

Because the stars under Kylin Films, such as Chen Hao, Wang Kai, Wu Yue, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Jingchu, Sun Honglei, Tong Liya, etc. are all popular stars, they are beautiful, handsome, and popular, so After they registered on Weibo one after another, they immediately attracted a large number of fans to watch.

This also made Weibo less than two weeks after its launch, and the number of registered users has exceeded one million.

The potential of Weibo was quickly noticed by major Internet companies. In addition, Xiang Nanben is the godfather of the Internet in the Mainland. Baidu, Tencent, Ali, Xinlang, NetEase, and Souar all have a large number of shares held by him, so they naturally reciprocated and invested in Weibo one after another.

In addition, there are a large number of venture capital funds that also want to invest in Weibo. It's not that Cheng Ji refuses all comers, she only chooses Xinlang's investment in the end.

Her reason is that Baidu started out as a search engine, and once Weibo spends its funds, it may open the door to it and allow it to crawl the content of Weibo. At that time, people will not go to Weibo website, but directly search and browse on Baidu.

And Tencent itself is also socializing, and they are enemies rather than friends, and they will definitely face competition in the future. If you accept its investment, you will be entangled by then.

Ali is an e-commerce platform, and Weibo is a social platform. After the number of users increases in the future, e-commerce can also be considered, so Ali’s investment should not be accepted.

Xinlang, Netease, and Souhu are all portal websites, but each has its own focus. Netease focuses on games, Xinlang focuses on news, and Souwang focuses on sports.

In contrast, news is more attractive to Weibo.

Weibo can be both a social platform and a news platform. A hot piece of news can set off everyone's conversation. At that time, thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of Weibo posts will be posted, and it will be difficult for this website to become popular.

Seeing his daughter's analysis so clearly, Xiang Nan felt that he had nothing to teach her. So let her let go.

...

Cheng Ji subsequently received multiple venture capital investments, and also established a cooperative relationship with Xinlang. As a result, microblogging is even more attractive.

Especially at the end of the year, Weibo launched the Weibo hot list, discussing social current affairs and paying attention to hot news, which made Weibo's influence shift from online to offline, attracting more and more users.

At the beginning of 2007, Weibo, which was established only half a year ago, already had 30 million users, and its valuation reached 3 billion yuan.

Lao Tzu is a hero and a hero. Cheng Ji was just 22 years old, and he was already a billionaire. He was listed on the Hurun Report, which attracted extensive media coverage.

But Cheng Ji doesn't really like the media comparing himself with his father.

She has today's achievements, although it is inseparable from her father's support, but more importantly, it is her own efforts.

Weibo program development, website maintenance, publicity and promotion, business decision-making... are all done by herself leading the team. So the media wrote it like that, as if all her achievements were thanks to her father, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Xiang Nan also understood his daughter's thoughts, so he tried his best to downplay his influence, and removed a lot of relevant news through his contacts.

...

In 2007, Xiang Nan stepped down as chairman of Kunpeng Real Estate.

The reason for this is mainly because they are afraid that the tree will attract the wind.

Kunpeng Real Estate is now the target of the largest private real estate company in the Mainland. If there is anything wrong with it, it will be infinitely magnified.

After nearly a decade of rapid development in the real estate industry, there are more and more conflicts with consumers. The public is also complaining more and more about real estate, and the government's policies on real estate are becoming tighter and tighter.

Therefore, Xiang Nan didn't want to go into this muddy water again, and planned to sell his own stocks one after another and withdraw from the real estate market.

The current executives of listed companies are subject to various restrictions on selling stocks. After resignation, the restrictions will be much less. So it's better to quit.

After the news was announced, the market value of Kunpeng Real Estate plummeted by 30%, from 150 billion to 100 billion, which shocked Han Chunming.

Because Xiang Nan's chairman has always been on a temporary basis, and he usually doesn't come to the company at all. He almost always decides on the company's big and small affairs.

But I didn't expect that now that Xiang Nan stepped down, it would have such a big impact on the market. Nearly one-third of the market value has evaporated out of thin air, which is really scary enough.

"Jianjun, your reputation is really valuable. It turns out that one-third of the company's market value is supported by you." He said enviously.

"Isn't that just right, the remaining two-thirds are supported by you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Believe it or not, if you resign as general manager, I'm afraid our company will collapse in a few years. "

"It's not that exaggerated." Han Chunming waved his hands and smiled.
