My Age of Investment

"My Investment Times Novel()" Find the latest chapter!

Darkness Chencang came from the period of Chu and Han struggle for hegemony.

A group of foreigners who did not understand Chinese history probably understood it under Xia Jingxing's English narration.

Dating.com is the arrogant state of Chu, and Facebook is the state of Han who secretly engages in affairs.

Confuse the enemy from the front, and engage in surprise attacks from the flanks.

Chinese employees naturally have a deeper understanding, and feel that the boss has brought the wisdom of the ancients to the extreme.

Not responding directly to the dating network is also to show the enemy's weakness and let the opponent be paralyzed.

What a surprise attack was prepared for, only Facebook's shareholders and management know best.

Although the company advocates an atmosphere of equality, freedom and transparency, it is more about interpersonal relationships.

The company's core secrets must not be rashly disclosed to ordinary employees.

There are too many people talking, and it is not good to leak the wind.

Although Xia Jingxing had pointed it out, most of the employees still figured it out and expressed their understanding and support for the company's behavior.

"After three months, I will see if the people on the dating website can still be as arrogant as they are now."

Walker said bitterly, there was a gas in his stomach.

He is the most positive part of the unlucky people who want to see the dating network.

"Okay, everyone should focus more on their work and not pay attention to those arrogant competitors."

Xia Jingxing sat in the middle of the crowd, swept across the young faces, and continued with a smile: "At present, we have only occupied one-third of the campus market, and the market left for us is still vast.

Everyone is in good spirits. Our next goal is to occupy the entire campus and let the number of users exceed 10 million and 15 million.

Then open the A round of financing and carry out all-staff equity incentives. "

Regarding the A round of financing, Xia Jingxing and the shareholders have almost communicated with each other, so it is okay to tell the employees.

The main dating network received A round of financing first,

He must also lift his own morale.

"The company is about to start a Series A financing?"

Debbie, a black intern and a carefree personality, asked.

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Of course, if we don't start financing at the moment, we're just waiting to defeat the dating network.

Because by then, our financing scale will be more than 10 million or 20 million.

The company's valuation will not be 100 million or 200 million, but 500 million or 1 billion.

The company has no shortage of money on its books now, with revenue of $3 million to $4 million a month.

Only the dilapidated establishment of the dating network that has never seen the money will get more than 10 million yuan in financing, and can't wait to jump out and announce to the world: I have money~

In my eyes, they are clowns who are jumping beams, and our revenue in one quarter can match their financing amount..."

Seeing Xia Jingxing sitting in the crowd chatting, everyone showed admiration.

The menacing dating network is not in the eyes of the big boss at all.

And this confidence is not based on no foundation.

They thought about it carefully, and they all felt ridiculous for their fear and anxiety about the dating network before. The company is far stronger than they thought.

Blame the media for misleading, almost thought the company was dead.

Xia Jingxing said while paying attention to the expressions of each employee.

Seeing everyone smiling, he gradually felt relieved.

It is a lesson of blood and tears that must be learned.

In addition to Walker and Debbie, other employees also raised their hands to ask questions. Xia Jingxing answered one by one, citing the past and present, and made a lot of witty words. From time to time, he made a playful joke to everyone, which made the employees laugh.

"So, everyone can relax as much as possible, the end of the world is not here, sing and dance, and everything is as usual."

Xia Jingling changed his words and pretended to be fierce, "Of course, if anyone develops a bug for me or messes up the work, I will take him to the Golden Gate Bridge to experience wingsuit flying."

"Hahaha~"

No one took it seriously and knew it was a joke.

But wingsuit flying is really scary. Carl Bonesh, the founder of modern wingsuits, fell to his death due to a mistake during a flight in 1984.

After the party was finished happily, the mental outlook of the employees at work the next day was really different.

No longer pay attention to the public opinion disputes on the Internet and newspapers, and start the work at hand in a down-to-earth manner.

At the same time, everyone in the company is holding their breath, and we must make the dating network look good.

Xia Jingxing naturally noticed this change, and while sighing that the military heart was available, he also felt that in the future, he should have more parties and improve the company culture.

It's not the kind of mere formality, doing outdoor activities on weekends and taking up employees' rest time.

But in the daily work, it is necessary to inject this cultural gene and silently change everyone.

…………

…………

Foreign SNS startups are in full swing, and major news has also come from China.

Rao Lei, who returned to China to start a business, called Xia Jingxing across the ocean.

"Jingxing, have you heard? Yiyou.com and Dating.com received $1 million in venture capital in Silicon Valley on the same day."

"Yiyou.com? Which website?"

Xia Jingxing thought it was a social networking site born in Silicon Valley. The name is quite domineering, Yiyou, does it imply that there will be hundreds of millions of users?

Rao Lei explained on the phone, "Yiyou.com has two founders, one is Ma Yun and the other is Liu Yong."

Xia Jingxing interrupted, "Ma Yun?"

Rao Lei laughed, "You made a mistake, it's not the one from Taobao.

This Jack Ma graduated from Tsinghua University. Right after graduating from university in 1999, he founded the portal website "Easy Ark" for college students, and then served as the deputy general manager of the wireless division of NetEase...

Liu Yong graduated from the Department of Physics of Peking University with a bachelor's degree, and later obtained a master's degree in computer science from the University of Illinois and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management of Northwestern University. He also served as the head of the wireless network application development project at Motorola..."

Xia Jingxing nodded and smiled, "They are all elites, so where is their entrepreneurial market? The United States or China?"

"domestic!"

Rao Lei sighed, "We are still developing products, this opponent suddenly made a big move and caught us off guard."

Xia Jingxing asked, "Has their website been launched yet?"

Rao Lei replied: "That's not true, just like us, it's still on the concept.

Yiyou's business model won the grand prize in the CarrotChallenge, the largest business competition in the United States supported by Forbes.

Relying on the six-degree division theory and the business plan with Chinese traditional culture as the core, we persuaded the venture capital, and we got the angel round investment one step ahead. "

"It's only a million dollars. Don't worry too much. The key depends on who launches the website first and whose products are more popular with users."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "I also said that in the future, Facebook will become a domestic product, but as a result, there are more opponents than we thought.

Don't worry too much, Dating.com raised $13 million in financing, and we're still not worried about it. "

"It's just to share with you the trend of the domestic entrepreneurial market."

Rao Lei paused, then asked again: "Speaking of the dating network, I heard that the two of you are now incompatible, and you have been arguing in the media and on the Internet."

"It's not that exaggerated, mainly because their CEO Jonathan said that the battle will end in three months, and coupled with the media's instigation, we were forced to fight.

We used to do a good job of socializing on campus, and we were not on the same track with them, so there was no competition, and we had to be involved. "

Rao Lei smiled, "Who called you the first social networking site? It was established early and has a great reputation. If you kill you, is it easier to tell stories and raise financing in the capital market?"

Xia Jingxing listened to Yile, "Co-authoring has become a stepping stone for others."

"Do you really still insist on only doing campus markets? Don't let go of crowd restrictions?"

Rao Lei couldn't help but ask about it again.

He had asked Xia Jingxing many times before, but the latter's answers were all ambiguous.

He has judged before that the business model of the dating network, or the business value, is higher.

No, the prophecy is slowly starting to come true.

Even when he returned to China to start a business, he preferred to copy the dating network instead of Facebook.

The campus market is too small to make big money.

"It's too late to let go now, let's get through this for a while!"

Xia Jingxing knew that the other party wanted to persuade him to target a bigger market.

This friendship can be accepted, but the strategy is not necessarily correct.

"Okay, I won't say more, we are both brothers and sisters, one is in China, the other is in the United States, and we both have a coveted opponent in front of us.

We have to work hard, don't let others get down. "

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Definitely not, only the opposite side will lie down."

"Okay, let's talk about it, we're free to go to the capital, let's have a drink!"

"must!"

...

Hanging up the phone, Xia Jing walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the dense buildings in the distance.

The fire of social entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley has been burned in China, and the market is getting hotter day by day.

This gave him a sense of urgency, and he felt that the time was not for me!
