Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 232 Portal Financing
Zhao Ye looked at his own industry, and I am afraid that only the Internet industry and the Hongmeng operating system are the most feared by the West.

The Hongmeng system beats the Windows system and occupies an absolute market dominance in the European market.

However, the Hongmeng system will definitely not let it out.

As for Internet companies, they can raise large-scale financing, and then blow up the Internet bubble. Wujiang Group will find an opportunity to cash out, and wait for the Internet bubble to burst before making bottom-hunting moves.

The highest level of business is to use other people's money to make money.

Right now, the major websites under the Wujiang Group are burning money, just in time to raise funds and use the investors' money.

The Wujiang portal website has the highest traffic and is also the website most favored by investors.

Then let Wujiang Portal make a sample first, so that people can see the super high "potential" and valuation of the website.

This time, there is no need to exclude American capital. Anyway, in the Western world, it is not a trap to cheat anyone's money.

Immediately, Zhao Ye notified his decision to prepare the Wujiang Portal for financing.

At the same time, Fu Xiaoyue, spokesperson of Wujiang Group, held a press conference around 5:[-] p.m. that day, announcing the planned financing of the Wujiang portal website.

As soon as the news came out, the major media at the time were shocked, and then caused a global sensation, causing major investment companies around the world to move around.

On the front page of the Wujiang Portal website, a detailed financing plan for the Wujiang Portal website was published.

……

"Boss, before raising funds, the Wujiang Portal website should realize commercialization as soon as possible, so that investors can see the huge profit potential of the Wujiang Portal website, so as to increase the valuation of the website!" Tang Letong, the CEO of the Wujiang Portal website, suggested.

Zhao Ye nodded: "Well, Mr. Tang is right, so hurry up and follow our established plan to realize commercialization!"

The commercial realization of the Wujiang portal website is mainly through the realization of advertisements.

Zhao Ye comes from a previous life and knows a lot about the methods of monetizing traffic, but currently, monetizing advertising is the fastest and easiest way to realize it.

After confirming the decision to monetize the advertisement, the Wujiang Portal sent invitations to major advertisers, asking if they would like to advertise on the Wujiang Portal.

The Wujiang Portal is the hottest website on the Internet at the moment, and its traffic is exploding. Advertisements on this website must have excellent results.

……

"Almost every netizen will log in to the Wujiang portal to browse various news, or post comments, or make friends..."

"We can't miss this opportunity. If our company can seize the opportunity to advertise on the Wujiang Portal, the advertising effect will be very good! If we don't invest in advertising, but let our competitors invest in advertising, it will be a big blow to our company." !"

"According to the statistics of authoritative organizations, more than a year ago, the number of Internet users worldwide was less than 100 million. However, in just one or two years, there are nearly [-] million Internet users in the world."

"The growth rate of the number of netizens is so fast!"

"Perhaps by next year, the number of Internet users worldwide will exceed 2 million!"

Thanks to the brutal expansion and development of Tenglong Internet Cafe, the growth rate of the number of Internet users around the world is extremely alarming.

Moreover, Longteng Internet Cafe is more like a catfish, activating the entire Internet cafe industry in advance, making it flourish all over the world.

The more Internet cafes, the more Internet users.

Wujiang Group has also specially developed games such as "Counter-Strike", "Warcraft", "StarCraft", and "Red Alert", which are very suitable for hacking together in Internet cafes, as well as the "Battle Online Competitive Platform". Hot.

At this moment, the speaker is the director of marketing of Coca-Cola.

The people present couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard the words.

The Internet is becoming more and more prosperous, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it has a bright future.

Through the Internet, advertisements can be promoted to tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people.

This is difficult to do with traditional advertising methods.

The new type of Internet advertising is definitely a virgin land that may not be developed.

……

At this moment, advertisers all over the world are vying for advertisements on the Wujiang Portal. Many companies, including the Fortune [-], such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nike, Procter & Gamble, etc., are all participating in the auction of advertising positions.

Borderless Portal naturally adheres to the principle that the highest bidder wins.

It took more than 20 days to sell out all the advertisements on the Wujiang Portal website. All advertisements are calculated on a quarterly basis. The Wujiang Portal website created a revenue of 5 million US dollars at once!

The executives of Wujiang Portal were ecstatic. Although the amount of money was not a lot, it meant that the company could make money, and it was very hopeful that it would break $20 billion a year.

How many companies in the world have been established for about two years, and their revenue can reach 20 billion US dollars?

This is enough to illustrate the development potential of Wujiang Portal.

There are 60 billion people in the world.

Now the number of Internet users is only close to 1 million. If the number of Internet users can increase by 10 times, then the revenue of Wujiang Portal may exceed 200 billion US dollars!
What if the number of Internet users is larger? ? ?

Fuck, that picture is so beautiful, I can hardly even imagine it...

The key point is that the Wujiang Portal is different from other physical enterprises. Its operating costs are very low and its income is high, which means that its profits are super high!

At 1993 o'clock in the morning on October 10, 1, Wujiang Group announced the quarterly advertising revenue of the Wujiang portal website.

As soon as it realizes commercial realization, it can generate 5 million US dollars in revenue, so I ask you if it is good or not?Hurry up and wave a check to invest in Borderless Portal.

In fact, when the revenue data was announced, investment companies all over the world were stunned.

The boards of directors of major investment companies have issued orders to invest in Wujiang Portal at all costs.

United States, Sequoia Capital.

"The revenue capability of the Wujiang Portal is really scary. There are less than 1 million Internet users now, but in the future, I believe that almost everyone will have access to the Internet. Think about it, how big is the development potential of the Wujiang Portal?" !!!”

Don Valentine exclaimed excitedly, even dancing a little while speaking.

In the conference room, everyone's faces turned red, and they were obviously extremely excited.

If there are 60 billion Internet users in the world, with the current dominance of Borderless Portal, its annual income will exceed at least 1000 billion US dollars.

"Tang, how should we quote at Sequoia Capital? The Wujiang Portal has now become Xiangmomo, and investment companies all over the world want to invest in it, and the competition is extremely fierce!" someone asked.

"We value Borderless Portal at US$200 billion, and I don't believe that other companies can compete with Sequoia Capital!" Don Valentine said confidently.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was dumbfounded. The general valuation is based on several times PE.

PE, that is: price-earnings ratio.

10 times PE is relatively normal.

But this time, Don Valentine directly valued at 10 times the annual income, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, when thinking about the development potential of the Wujiang Portal website, it is taken for granted, and it may even continue to increase the valuation because of too fierce competition.

……

In less than a week, major global investors have submitted their investment plans to Wujiang Group.

However, Wujiang Group did not immediately respond to this.

At this time, Zhao Ye appeared at Wujiang Portal Company to inspect a new function developed by everyone - blog.

Zhao Ye believes that once the blog is released, it will soon become popular all over the world, and then the valuation of Wujiang Portal will rise again.

In fact, things like blogs were relatively popular at the beginning, and then disappeared from the public. On the contrary, Weibo became even more popular.But at the beginning of the development of the Internet, it happened to be the time when blogging was very popular.

"Boss, according to your request, the blog site has been successfully developed, please take a look!" Zhou Mingliang, the person in charge of blog development, said loudly to Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye came to him, sat in front of the computer, and began to test the blog site.

A few minutes later, Zhao Ye saw that all the functions of the blog were almost the same as he remembered, and immediately expressed his satisfaction.

"Good job, that's what I wanted!"

Zhao Ye said to the people around him.

After a pause, he said again: "It can be released immediately. At 8 o'clock tonight, Wujiang Portal will add a blog function and tell all our users in the form of an advertisement pop-up window!!!"

"Okay, boss!" Everyone responded in unison, but also full of expectations.

These are the people who are very interested in blogging, let alone everyone else.

……

……

Sheila Church is a photography enthusiast and a loyal user of the Wujiang portal. At this moment, he was browsing the news when an advertisement popped up suddenly.

"Shocked!!! The Borderless Portal actually launched a super powerful new feature - Blog!"

"Are you still feeling alone because you can't share your thoughts?"

"Are you still feeling lonely because you can't communicate with like-minded friends?"

"Then, please give blogging a try."

"Blog is a comprehensive platform that uses the network as a carrier to publish one's own experience quickly and conveniently, communicate with others in a timely, effective and easy way, and integrate rich and colorful personalized display into one."

"It is a personal 'reader's digest' in the Internet age, an online diary with hyperlinks as the entrance, and it represents a new way of life, work and study!"

"..."

Sheila Church didn't intend to read this pop-up advertisement at first, but when he saw the words "Shocked!!!" at the beginning, he couldn't help but continue to look down, what was the content, and he felt shocked, and And three exclamation points.

Soon, Sheila Church finished watching the pop-up advertisement, and felt excited immediately.

He immediately thought that he could use his blog to publish his usual photos and some insights and experiences, and then wait for others to read them, give comments, and communicate with himself.

Not only Sheila Church, but many people around the world are attracted by the "shock headline", then read the pop-up advertisement, and then start blogging.

More than 100 million people posted their first blog that night.

Needless to say, the blog is on fire!

It is extremely shocking to have more than 100 million users in one night.Although there is promotion of Wujiang Portal, the blog site itself is also very popular.

A week later, the blog surpassed 1000 million users.

The traffic of the Wujiang portal website has increased significantly, and user viscosity has also increased.

The time that users stay on the Wujiang portal has also become longer.

The sales of many products advertised on the Wujiang portal website are almost all increasing, and the growth rate is astonishing.

Apparently, the ads on the Wujiang Portal are working very well.

Seeing this, many advertisers who missed the opportunity couldn't help but feel dejected, and each of them secretly cheered, striving to get the advertising space of Wujiang Portal next time.

As far as investors are concerned, they are even more excited, and have once again raised the valuation of Wujiang Portal.

It was at this time that Wujiang Portal started the formal financing process.

All investment companies that valued Wujiang Portal at less than US$200 billion were eliminated one after another.

There are more than a dozen investment companies in the remaining list.

Tang Letong, the CEO of Borderless Portal, sat in the meeting room, watching the presidents of the world's major investment companies treat him kindly, as if he felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Before he joined Wujiang Portal, he was just an ordinary computer professor at Fudan University!
"Let me first talk about the financing requirements of the Borderless Portal."

"First of all, you must accept the shareholding structure of our company founder's 'one share with multiple votes', that is, the shares held by our chairman Mr. Zhao Ye. One share has multiple votes. If you cannot accept this condition, you can withdraw invest."

After Tang Letong finished speaking, his eyes swept over everyone.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Although you are frowning and not satisfied, in order to invest in Wujiang Portal, it doesn't matter even if you accept the shareholding structure of "one share with more votes".

For these investment companies, the most important thing is to make money.

Moreover, who in the world knows how to make money better than Zhao Ye?

If the head of the Wujiang Portal website becomes someone else, then the valuation of the Wujiang Portal website will be cut in half at least...
