my return 2002

Chapter 223 YY Diary.

As a result of the final competition, the first boy to participate did not win No.1. The one who won the championship was another computer major. He opened a studio and received several orders. He has already made a profit. The judges all gave him high marks, and Shen Lang followed the crowd and gave him a seven.

However, after the competition, many students came to Shen Lang to chat about their ideas and take photos. Shen Lang also patiently chatted with them. He found that many students had very good ideas, but only a small number of them would implement them. After all, not everyone has an "ordinary family" like Brother Xiao Ma, and ordinary people have almost no ability to resist risks.

Maybe it's because Shen Lang is so approachable and there are more and more students around him. The scene is not worse than the star chasing scene. Of course, the quality of the college students is still there, but there is no excessive action around Shen Lang, and the questions are all Waiting for others to finish speaking one by one before speaking, the scene is a bit like a tea party.

The organizer saw that this was not going to work, and the venue rental time was up soon, so they hurriedly organized people to escort Shen Lang back to the backstage, and the students dispersed.

"Boss Shen, drink some water."

As soon as Shen Lang sat down, Yang Mei handed over a bottle of mineral water, Shen Lang took it and took a big gulp: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Yang Mei replied with a smile, and then looked at Shen Lang with some admiration: "Mr. Shen, this is the first time you've heard of those ideas. How did you come up with such perfect ideas?"

"Business is actually not as complicated as you think. Just think about two points. One is demand, and the other is money. Where there is demand, there is a market. You need to figure out whether this market demand really exists. People do it, whether they are still in the process of gestation and need to be cultivated, or they already have it, but others feel that it is not profitable.”

"If others think it's not profitable, then you have to think about how you can make money from it."

After Shen Lang finished speaking, Yang Mei's adoring eyes were no longer concealed.

"Mr. Shen, I will be a senior student next semester. Can I go to your company for an internship? Any position is fine."

Shen Lang thought for a while, this little girl is pretty good at doing things, she should be a good talent after training, so she nodded.

"Of course, I welcome you anytime."

There was a light of surprise in Yang Mei's originally apprehensive eyes.

Coming out of the venue, Shen Lang went straight home. He was exhausted after the whole day. Facts have proved that sometimes it is very tiring to pretend to be aggressive. I don’t know how Jack Ma can say to the national audience: I never I have never touched money before, and I am not interested in money. If he is so pretentious, is it because he is too shallow?
Shen Lang didn't know that during the time he was going home to rest, the students who went to watch the college student entrepreneurship competition on the spot today had already shared today's situation with their classmates and friends through various social media.

Especially those students who have talked about their entrepreneurial ideas with Shen Lang feel that they have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and that as long as they start their own business in the next step, they will surely succeed. Shen Lang is a pyramid scheme leader.

Of course, it was only a small-scale dissemination. At night, the local news of Shanghai Satellite TV broadcast the situation of the college student entrepreneurship competition. Among them, Shen Lang's sentence: "Have an idea, and implement it personally, which has surpassed many people, and was even more popular." Tell it like a title.

The scene of Shen Lang talking eloquently at the judges' table also appeared on the TV, although it was only for a short ten seconds.

This is not over yet. After the broadcast on Shanghai Satellite TV, some print media and online media also began to rush to report. Due to the popularity of Super Girl, YY and Mengniu became the biggest winners. Although Mengniu’s products sold well, Lao Niu is a typical Veteran entrepreneur, not worth reporting.

Shen Lang is different, young, mysterious, self-made, these key words combined, already has all the main points of the news, naturally sought after by many media.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Some paper media are okay, and the things they report are reasonable and well-founded, while some online media are more nonsense.

What Shen Lang is the son of a certain high-ranking official has a deep background, why Shen Lang's family gave him 100 million to practice when he started his business, and even more outrageous, saying that he is a white glove of a certain force.

However, as these unidentifiable news spread on the Internet, many netizens realized that the original owner of YY was Shen Lang.

A few days later, Shen Lang came to the company as usual, and greeted the employees as usual. However, today these guys don't know what's wrong, they keep saying some inexplicable words.

What boss, who is your father?Boss, are you really the second generation rich?
"Hey, isn't this our President Shen? How about it, what does it feel like to become famous overnight?" Lei Jun came to Shen Lang's office with a smile on his face.

Shen Lang was at a loss: "What became famous overnight?"

I thought to myself, it’s just a matter of participating in a college student entrepreneurship competition, so it won’t make everyone know about it, right?He is not a star.

Lei Jun jokingly said: "You can know what's going on when you open portals like Sina and Sohu."

Shen Lang clicked on it, and sure enough, on the homepage, he could see titles such as "The Boss Behind YY Reveals His True Face".

Shen Lang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, making him seem so shameful.

After reading these reports, Shen Lang couldn't help complaining: "Who the hell wrote this, what a mess."

Lei Jun gloated a little: "These are considered ethical, and those small websites are even more outrageous."

Of course, this trend passed quickly. As August entered, the biggest news on the Internet became that Baidu was about to go public in the United States.

It has to be said that these two years are definitely a turning point for Baidu. In 2003, it was still in a state of loss. By 2004, its revenue had reached 1.1 million yuan, and its net profit had reached 1200 million yuan. In the first quarter of 2005, its net profit increased even more. increased by 140%, reaching 450 million yuan.

When most Internet companies are still in a state of loss, Baidu has completed a full-year profit, the capital market is optimistic, and it is a matter of course to go public in the United States.

At this time, Li Yanhong, who is in the United States, is in high spirits. Judging from the meetings with brokers and various investors these days, as long as there is no outrageous black swan, Baidu's listing is already unstoppable.

However, there was an episode during this period. Google CEO Schmidt came to find Li Yanhong and said to him: "Google has just been listed, and some experience can be shared; listing is not fun, and there are a lot of messy rules; Baidu can choose not to list, and Google can choose." The acquisition of Baidu can also continue to invest in Baidu, and the two parties can form a closer cooperative relationship."

However, Li Yanhong smiled sarcastically: "Baidu's listing is like water that has been poured out, and it can't be taken back."

Schmidt returned disappointed, and at the same time strengthened Google's determination to enter the mainland market. Of course, this is a later story.

At least on August 8, US time, it belonged to Li Yanhong. Baidu officially listed on Nasdaq. The issue price was 5 US dollars, and a total of 27 million US dollars was raised. up, and finally closed at $1.09.

The increase was as high as 354%, setting a new record for the first-day increase of foreign companies in the US stock market since 213 years ago.

Li Yanhong also became a rich man worth 9 million US dollars overnight. Among Baidu employees, 7 millionaires with 1 million US dollars and more than 100 millionaires with tens of millions of dollars were born. Among them, there are many young people who have just graduated three or four years ago.

This is the temptation to go public. The myth of getting rich overnight has always been the most popular topic in the media and audiences. Overnight, the names of Li Yanhong and Baidu also began to become legends.

When Baidu went public, Shen Lang and Lei Jun were also watching the live broadcast, and Lei Jun nudged Shen Lang with his elbow.

"How is it? Do you have any special feelings?"

Shen Lang rolled his eyes at him, this guy was so bewildered by Jinshan, he only wanted to go public.

"No, as I said, I don't plan to go public within five years."

Lei Jun looked at Shen Lang helplessly, and complained: "You are really as stubborn as a donkey."

Shen Lang didn't bother to talk to him, turned off the broadcast web page, and said seriously: "Now QQ is already targeting us on purpose, and MSN is chasing after us. We are under attack. Seeing that Super Girl is going to end at the end of this month, after the traffic bonus is over, what? Retaining more users is the top priority now."

When talking about work, Lei Jun immediately became serious and nodded.

"That's why you haven't released the YY space?"

Shen Lang said sternly: "The user base between us and QQ was too different before, even if we had any creative breakthroughs, it was just making wedding dresses for others. The QQ voice thing was obvious before. If it wasn't for our quick response, YY The foundations will be broken."

Until now, Shen Lang still has lingering fears. Gamers can be said to be YY's basic disk. Once this user is leveraged by QQ, it will be difficult to pose a threat to QQ. I have to admit that Xiao Ma's vision is still very poisonous.

Afterwards, Lei Jun called Liang Han and Wang Xing to the office.

During this period of time, the popularity of Super Girl made Liang Han full of confidence, but after listening to Shen Lang's analysis, his face became serious.

Wang Xing is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and this one dares to directly call out the existence of penguins in the computer world.

"Don't release the function of YY space at one time, let's open the function of YY log first for the time being."

In fact, the function of YY log is basically established by referring to the blog, but the carrier is different. In English, blog means web log.

Foreign blogs began to appear as early as the 90s, while domestic blog sites were not founded by Fang Xingdong until 2002, but it was Sina that really made blogs popular.

Since Shanda failed to acquire Sina, in order to allow Shanda to exit smoothly, and to obtain new growth points for Sina's deteriorating performance, Sina has focused its energy on blogging.

As one of the three major portal sites, Sina still has great advantages in promoting blogs. First of all, Sina's years of content experience are unmatched by other blogs.

Secondly, Sina has a good relationship with many writers and celebrities, and if they invite them to their blogs, these writers and celebrities will give some face.

In any cultural industry, content is king, and other blogs are completely vulnerable to "professional players" like Sina. Soon, the business of Sina blogs catches up from behind and reaches the top of the entire industry.

As a result, Sina is also more willing to give blood to the blog, and more resources are tilted. In just a few months, the number of users of Sina Blog has exceeded 500 million.

Don't underestimate the 500 million users. In 2005, blogging was not a mainstream product in China. In addition to the diversion of other blogs, it was already very impressive to be able to attract so many users in just a few months.

Just when Sina's Cao Guowei was about to flex his muscles in the blog field, the executive in charge of Sina blog suddenly rushed to his office with a livid face.

"It's bad, YY has just updated a space log function, and the target is our blog."

Cao Guowei was also taken aback when he heard the words. He naturally saw the rise of YY recently. At this time, YY has the qualifications to challenge any Internet company.

And what makes Cao Guowei even more depressed is that YY's entry into the blog is very likely to lead to the hungry wolf of QQ. When the two powers compete, how will Sina blog survive in the cracks?

"There is no other way, we can only act first, and the plan for the blog contest that we made before has been fully launched!" Cao Guowei gritted his teeth.

On the other side, Penguin also quickly discovered the update of YY. Xiao Ma sat up straight, kept sliding the mouse with his fingers, and clicked a few times from time to time.

After a while, brother Xiao Ma put down the mouse, turned to Zhang Zhidong and said, "Our Qzone will go online immediately!"

Zhang Zhidong nodded, but he still reminded: "The function of YY diary is obviously a benchmarking blog. We should focus on the Sina blog."

Brother Xiao Ma frowned. Although what Zhang Zhidong said made sense, he still felt that YY's actions this time were not simple.

Zhang Zhidong could only smile wryly when he heard Brother Ma's doubts: "Are you thinking too much about Shen Lang?"

"hope so."

The appearance of the YY diary was immediately loved by many student parties. It is strange to say that many students asked them to write a diary every day, and it was even worse. They couldn't hold back a few words for a long time.

But in the YY diary, it is like a fountain of thoughts, and the pen is like a snake.

Of course, YY diary is more favored by high school students and college students. High school students face enormous study pressure and cannot tell their parents about it. Let it out.

Emotions are the best fuel for writing. The diaries written by these high school students may not be deep enough, but they can easily infect YY friends. After all, most YY friends of high school students are also high school students.

As for college students, the YY diary is even more attractive, especially for college girls, who are at the age of new love, sentimentalism, energy, and time. Occasionally posting a diary can get a lot of likes, so naturally it is even more attractive. Motivated to post the next one.
