Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 295 Loud Explosion
At this time, domestic Internet companies such as NetEase, Sina, and Sohu were speechless when they heard that Wujiang Group was about to raise funds for Weibo and Twitter.

Damn it, it’s already an Internet winter, and many investment companies are staying away from Internet companies.

Fortunately, now, investment companies are actually vying to invest in Weibo and Twitter, which makes these Internet companies feel embarrassed.

It's really enviable and jealous!

"Sanshi, should NetEase also start a Weibo? I studied the Weibo launched by Wujiang Group, and this is really a genius idea!!! If Weibo can be done well, we can It is a powerful tool for controlling public opinion. At the same time, it is also a cash cow. As long as advertisements are hung on each user interface, the income will definitely be higher than that of the portal website!" A senior executive of NetEase said to Ding Sanshi with some excitement.

Advertising revenue is linked to traffic. Weibo’s development model and user scale are destined to have much higher traffic than portal websites.

Moreover, Weibo can target different users with precise advertising investments. For example, travel bloggers place ads related to tourism; food bloggers place ads related to food...

NetEase is now mainly a portal website and has not yet started to get involved in games.

Weibo has just come out, and the difficulty of development is not high. If we enter this field now, we still don’t know who will win in the end. NetEase may get a piece of the pie.

Ding Sanshi hesitated slightly. The Matthew effect in the Internet industry is very large. "The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker." If NetEase develops Weibo, it may end up in vain and suffer heavy losses.

However, considering such a good opportunity now, it would be a pity if NetEase does not pursue it, and NetEase's investors may also be dissatisfied.

After thinking for 3 minutes, Ding Sanshi said in a deep voice: "Okay, we will also make Weibo! Mr. Xue, organize the programmers to work overtime and try to develop the website in a week!"

Xue Mingtian smiled and said: "Haha, okay, no problem!"

Website development is not difficult. For individual developers, it usually takes several months to develop a website. If there is a team, the speed will be faster.If there are ready-made websites that can be imitated, the speed will be even faster.

At this time, domestic Internet companies such as Sina and Sohu also started developing Weibo.

They organized manpower one after another to start plagiarism.

……

Major investment companies around the world are more optimistic about Weibo and Twitter launched by Wujiang Group.

On the morning of September 9th, representatives from investment companies came to Wujiang Building one after another.

A unique investment negotiation meeting was held here.

Fu Xiaoyue stepped onto the stage and began to announce the development of Weibo and Twitter websites to the public.

"So far, the number of Weibo users has exceeded 3000 million, and the number of Twitter users has exceeded 5000 million."

"Page views (pv), Weibo has reached 6 million, and Twitter has reached 12.5 billion."

Listening to Fu Xiaoyue's introduction, the investors in the audience were all shocked.

These data are so explosive!
Weibo and Twitter are so popular!

Fu Xiaoyue seemed not to notice everyone's surprise and continued: "Both Weibo and Twitter have launched 'hot search lists'. Both lists are very popular among users. Most users open Weibo or After tweeting, I just want to see what things can be on the 'Weibo Hot Searches' or 'Twitter Hot Searches' today!"

Hearing this, many people in the audience couldn't help but feel the same way. They also immediately looked at the hot search list on Weibo or Twitter.

More and more people are starting to get news information from Weibo or Twitter's trending search lists instead of reading newspapers or logging onto portals.

It can be expected that after the rise of Weibo and Twitter, even portal websites will decline.

In the future, in order to gain exposure, many celebrities will definitely try their best to climb the charts. Doesn't this cost money?Of course, we have to give money to Weibo and Twitter.Who gets on the list is not decided by the website.

Fu Xiaoyue had finished the introduction at this time. She took a sip of water, brushed her hair with her right hand, and looked at the representatives of major investment companies in the audience with a bright smile.

"Representatives of investment companies, please start your quotations now. We will announce the list of bidding investors in half an hour!"

Fu Xiaoyue finished speaking and left the stage.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the audience became serious and strange, and everyone present was a competitor.

Everyone wants to get this investment opportunity.

No one is going to find out the valuation given by competitors at this moment.

Everyone was silent, thinking about how many numbers they should fill in to impress Wujiang Group.

Time passed little by little, and soon everyone submitted their quotations to the staff of Wujiang Group.

Fu Xiaoyue and others looked at the quotation, studied it for a while, and settled on the result.

Weibo’s investors must be state-owned investment companies. In the end, China International Capital Corporation, CITIC Group Co., Ltd., and China Investment Corporation were selected. They are all well-known, powerful, and influential state-owned enterprises in the country.

Twitter’s investors are mainly European and American companies, and it finally selected Vanguard, Goldman Sachs and Sequoia Capital.

While the investment representatives were waiting anxiously, Fu Xiaoyue finally appeared.

"Everyone, please stay with the representatives of the investment companies whose names I will read later. Others can leave."

"The investment companies that have invested in Weibo are: China International Capital Corporation, CITIC Group Co., Ltd., and China Investment Corporation."

“The investment companies that have invested in Twitter are: Vanguard, Goldman Sachs, and Sequoia Capital.”

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, some people were happy and some were worried.

The representatives of those companies whose names were not read out were all dejected and regretful. If they had known it was so complicated, their quotations should have been higher.

At this time, the staff began to invite those who did not win the bid out.

Representatives of the winning bidders were left to continue the detailed discussions.

In the next hour or so, various investment companies discussed with each other how many shares they wanted to hold.

Soon, Weibo’s three investment companies had finalized their investment ratios.

The three state-owned investment companies have the same shareholding ratio, each holding 5% of the shares.

Weibo’s post-investment valuation exceeds US$50 billion, with each company providing US$2.5 million, and a total of US$7.5 million raised.

Competition on Twitter is fierce.

After mutual compromise, Vanguard, Goldman Sachs, and Sequoia Capital's shareholding ratios were 7%, 5%, and 3% respectively, and they also took away 15% of Twitter's shares.

Because Twitter has users all over the world, its market value is even higher, with its post-investment valuation exceeding US$100 billion and a total of US$15 billion raised.

Weibo and Twitter were able to raise so much money in their first round of financing, which shows that investment companies are very optimistic about the development of Weibo and Twitter.

When the rest of the Internet saw this, they could only feel envious and jealous.

Weibo and Twitter not only have first-mover advantages, but also rely on the parent company Wujiang Group, so the possibility of website failure is almost zero. This is why Internet companies under Wujiang Group are so sought after by investment companies, with valuations of So high...

At 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, Wujiang Group held a press conference and announced that Weibo and Twitter had officially completed Series A financing, receiving US$7.5 million and US$15 billion in financing respectively.

As soon as the news came out, not only the media reporters at the scene were dumbfounded, but even the viewers watching the live broadcast were dumbfounded. "It was promised that the Internet is already in the cold winter. How can Weibo and Twitter raise so much money? Are investment companies crazy?" the founder of a website exclaimed, feeling a little unbelievable.

He has met a lot of investors recently, but none of them are willing to invest in his website. The excuses are almost the same, saying that the Internet is in the middle of winter, the industry is in recession, and our investment company has no plans to invest in Internet companies for the time being.

Damn it, everyone is rushing to invest in Weibo and Twitter!

NetEase Ding Sanshi happened to be watching the live TV broadcast, with a look of deep envy on his expression.

NetEase's current stock price has fallen to the bottom, and financing is difficult. Currently, NetEase is in urgent need of finding new projects to increase profits.

"Since Wujiang Weibo is so popular, then...investment companies that have no chance to invest in Weibo and Twitter may invest in NetEase. If NetEase also launches Weibo in the near future..."

Ding Sanshi murmured to himself.

Immediately, he stood up and went to the NetEase Weibo project development team, intending to personally participate in the website development.

……

The successful financing of Weibo and Twitter meant that these two websites had more backers. Zhao Ye breathed a sigh of relief and was not afraid that the websites would be ordered to shut down by the government.

Next, Zhao Ye waited for the arrival of the 11th with a nervous heart.

Watching the days go by, it feels like just a few days, but it feels like a year.

In the past few days, Zhao Ye couldn't help but hesitate to short the stock market of Country M, Airlines of Country M, and insurance companies. After the 11th, the stock market of Country M, Airlines of Country M, and insurance companies will inevitably collapse!

But later, if it was found out that I was shorting airlines and insurance companies, how would I explain this? Would I think that I already knew about the attack in advance, so I bet heavily?
Forget it, I still won’t make this money.

Zhao Ye shook his head, feeling quite regretful.

记忆中，有机构曾经在事前做空M国航空公司和保险公司。在9月6日、7日和10日，有大量神秘投资者在M国期货市场买入了4744个M国联合航空和4516个M国航空的销售选择权，这个买入量是平时的20倍。

Zhao Ye couldn't help but pay attention to the dynamics of the futures market in Country M.

In the next few days, just like in the previous life, a large number of mysterious investors suddenly began to bet against Airline M...

The emergence of this situation made Zhao Ye more and more certain that the inertia of history has not changed. Although the butterfly effect exists, what should happen will still happen.

However, the incident happened in country M, and Zhao Ye did not have the kindness to remind him. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Zhao Ye would not say anything if this incident was beneficial to China.

……

The day finally arrived.

After 8 o'clock in the morning.

As Zhao Ye expected, there was an earth-shattering and loud explosion in NYue.

At this moment, the whole world was shocked!

Someone immediately took a photo and posted it on Twitter.

Twitter also pushed this news to all users immediately.

"Oh my God, this can't be true?! I pray to God that the people in the building will be safe!"

"Oh, God, this is so crazy. This is the worst day in country M in decades!!! We must find out who did it. We people in country M will never be lenient!" A netizen in country M said angrily Posted a comment.

At this time, many people in Country M were angry and panicked.

If there is one, there are two.

What if something happens to you?
Just ask if you are afraid?
boom! ! ! ! !
After an interval of more than 20 minutes, another plane arrived.

A horrific act was also performed.

For a time, the Internet was abuzz, and panic spread rapidly!
"Here we go again, my God, how could this happen?!?!" Some people who witnessed this scene were trembling with fear in their hearts.

The area around the scene had become extremely chaotic at this time, and countless people rushed outside, fearing that they would suffer unreasonable disasters.

At this time, traffic in the city has been paralyzed, communication networks have collapsed, and most mobile phones have no use, except for iPhones and BlackBerrys.

Many people can only use computers to communicate with the outside world online, but this is quite troublesome...

Netizens in other countries reacted differently to those in country M.

Although I was shocked, my sympathy was relatively small.

What is happening in country M today can only be regarded as child's play compared with the wars it has inflicted on other countries.

Therefore, some people even gloated about the misfortune.

"Well done, well done. If Country M is still crazy, someone will teach him a lesson!"

"Although I sympathize, I feel relieved. I will continue to come a few more times. I want to watch the fireworks~"

Chinese netizens also don’t take it too seriously.

"Damn it, who is so bold, twitching his beard from the tiger's mouth, so awesome!"

"Country M has made a fool of itself. The world's largest military power, to be treated like this is a slap in the face. It's so shameless!"

"Country M may retaliate, and there should be good things to watch next."

"..."

At this time, the stock market of country M fell in response, especially the stock price of airline companies.

At this time, the United States is in panic, and no one dares to fly.

boom! ! ! ! !
Not long after, the attack came again, this time the target was a military building.

Good guy, as soon as this news came out, everyone was shocked. You are really not afraid of death for provoking Country M like this.

"This organization is so powerful. I'm so impressed. It's awesome. I'm afraid there won't be many people in the world who are so brave!"

"The United States should be furious by now. It is provoking Country M one after another and making Country M make a fool of itself in front of the whole world!"

"I think this is the result of being too arrogant. If you don't cause trouble everywhere, how can you provoke revenge from others?"

"Yes, that makes sense, and I agree. Isn't it good to live in peaceful coexistence? What kind of hegemony will it cause in the end?"

"..."
