My Age of Investment

After Fake Puppies received the photos via email, they posted the photo of the three and Bill Gates on Facebook the next day.

The photo attracted comments from a large number of Puppy's friends, as well as media attention.

On the same day, the news on the theme of "Gates invited the three founders of Facebook to dinner" came out quickly.

The media has speculated why Gates invited the three founders of Facebook to a banquet.

Some people say that Gates admires the three young people, and some people say that Gates wants to acquire Facebook and YouTube.

The news is eloquent, and even the purchase price has been drawn up, 10 billion US dollars, a wholly-owned acquisition.

This kind of news with exaggerated titles and content is always the most eye-catching, bringing a lot of traffic and sales to related media.

And the media came to interview the three founders of Facebook and Bill Gates.

"...Mr. Gates is a user of YouTube and is very interested in the operation mode of the website, so we were invited to give a presentation.

Microsoft acquires Facebook, YouTube? There is no such thing, the media guesses randomly.

Cooperation? I didn't talk about cooperation, I just had a meal, but Mr. Gates' house is very beautiful, which is true. "

...

In the face of the reporter's interview, Xia Jingxing made a lot of nonsense, and did not want to disclose the confidential information of the cooperation and investment between the two parties now.

Gates did the same, telling reporters a bunch of nonsense.

"Darren is a very good young man, and I'm intrigued by their story of dropping out of school to start a business.

In them, I seem to see myself back then.

Silicon Valley's most promising company? I agree with this point of view, because these three young people will always surprise you..."

Although the parties on both sides were interviewed and clarified, there are still many conspiracy theorists who do not believe it and feel that the two sides must have reached some secret agreement.

Whether true or not, the media will only choose to report in the direction that is beneficial to them.

With the help of the media secretly,

The entire Silicon Valley and the entire United States thought that Facebook was going to be sold, and it was a sky-high price of 10 billion US dollars!

As for the interview responses of Xia Jingxing and Gates, in their eyes, it became a cover up.

Save others by yourself, with a $10 billion takeover offer, will you sell the company?

Most people think that the three founders of Facebook will definitely not be able to resist this huge temptation.

Although there have been many news that Facebook is about to be acquired before, the protagonists of the story are Google, Yahoo, Viacom, Amazon, eaby...

But it didn't come true this time.

Three young people started their business for less than three years, and the company they built was acquired by the world's richest man for 10 billion US dollars.

What could be more topical than this?

The incident intensified and eventually became a carnival for the media reporters.

Countless media people commented on this matter and analyzed it in various ways.

Some people say that Facebook and YouTube are not worth the price, and some people say that Microsoft has made a good deal.

There are mixed reviews and opinions.

When shareholders and friends saw the relevant news, they called Xia Jingxing to ask whether it was true or not.

Xia Jingxing took the trouble to explain one by one.

"That's 10 billion dollars? You just rejected it?"

Huang Xin, who had not been in contact for a long time, called Xia Jingxing and asked in surprise.

Xia Jingxing smiled wryly, this media is so good, black can be said to be white, and then use the huge public opinion to distort the facts.

However, they also got some benefits from this incident, and they greatly promoted Facebook and YouTube.

Many startups use this routine to speculate on high valuations.

Find a platform for big shots, endorsements, and then public relations media, hype fame, and then there are venture capitalists.

However, Facebook did not spend any money, and the media and the Internet were all spontaneously helping propaganda.

Looking at it from another angle, Xia Jingxing felt that he should say to them: Good people live in peace!

Because 10 billion dollars, talking and talking, may become a reality.

Taking the phone, Xia Jingxing replied to Huang Xin: "Fake news, you are all being deceived by unscrupulous media, they just want to take advantage of this matter to sell more newspapers, or to increase the popularity of news websites."

Huang Xin continued to ask: "If Gates really asks for 10 billion US dollars, will you sell the company? You must know that in China, no Internet company has reached a valuation or market value of 10 billion US dollars."

"I won't sell it, not even 20 billion dollars..."

After hurriedly ending the topic, Xia Jingxing began to ask Huang Xin what he was doing recently.

As Xia Jingxing expected, the wandering figure turned yellow, but Huang Xin, who had a cement factory at home, did not stop tossing and started to start a business again, without any rest.

Huang Xin's latest entrepreneurial project is called just input, which is a pinyin input method.

Xia Jingxing had never heard of it.

In fact, Huang Xin from the beginning of 2004 to the end of 2005, more than a year, an average of two months to change a business project.

I am afraid that only the parties themselves know which projects they have engaged in and how many times they have started businesses.

Huang Xin was embarrassed to mention the investment, and Xia Jingxing didn't ask.

After a few chats, Xia Jingxing hung up the phone.

Then, Wang Wei from Tudou called Xia Jingxing.

First, congratulations on Facebook's valuation of tens of billions of dollars, and then I talked about Tudou.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Wei said, "Tudou will go online next week, how should we promote it?"

"How to publicize it? You ask the media to send a PR draft, and Tudou has received an investment from the fund of Xia Jingxing, the CEO of 100 billion..."

Wang Wei smiled dryly, "Cough, in fact, I think so too.

Not only the United States, but the news about you has all come to China, the media is about to praise you as a national hero, you came to the United States to work hard at the age of 18, dropped out of school to start a business, defeated Google, convinced Bill Gates, and built a Chinese appraiser. The Most Valuable Internet Company...

Facebook's valuation is approximately equal to Shanda + Sina + Sohu + Netease + Penguin...

Anyway, you are very popular now, I wonder if Tudou can take advantage of this wave of popularity.

In terms of business form, our target is the oil pipe.

And Tudou has something to do with you. You are Tudou's second largest shareholder. "

Xia Jingxing understood and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, you want to get me to endorse Tudou, right? You can do whatever you want.

But there is a premise, don't go too far. "

"I know, don't worry, you must be measured."

Wang Wei smiled and said that he has worked at Bertelsmann and has rich experience in the media industry.

He noticed the news that "Gates purchased an Internet company founded by a 20-year-old Chinese student for tens of billions of dollars" as soon as it reached China.

Then he keenly discovered the value that can be used, bundled marketing.

"Um, Jing Xing, do you have any suggestions? You said before that you need to design a marketing plan for Tudou, so that Tudou will reach 100,000 users in one month and one million users in three months."

Xia Jingxing remembered and said, "Go and find Hunan Satellite TV and take down the online broadcast rights of their "Super Girl"."

Wang Wei frowned, "Is this useful? They did it once last year, and it doesn't seem to be very good, right?"

"You just do as I tell you, this kind of talent show is very suitable for Tudou to start.

Hurry up and recruit some people, go to various competition areas, start tracking and recording tidbits from the audition stage, and then take some of the videos they recorded from the program team.

Put these videos on Tudou and make columns in a certain order.

Those who missed the TV broadcast time will definitely come to Tudou. "

Wang Wei was dubious, he thought that Xia Jingxing had some truth in what he said, but all this had to be based on the popularity of the show.

He decided to study this show carefully to see if it really had as much potential as Xia Jingxing said.

"Okay, I'll come down and study it."

Xia Jingxing frowned, and started the Buddhist system again, reminding: "This show is about to start the audition, and there is not much time left for Tudou.

Do it when it's time to do it, don't hesitate. "

"But what if the show is not popular? Our company may run out of money."

Although I don't know how much it will cost to win the network broadcast rights of the show, Wang Wei knows that it will not be cheap.

If it doesn't work, the million dollar financing will have to be spent.

"Don't worry, if it fails, I will make another investment in Tudou."

With Xia Jingxing's promise, Wang Wei felt more at ease and said, "Okay, I will win the network broadcast rights of this show as quickly as possible."

Xia Jingxing thought for a while, there is still SP business these days, that is, mobile value-added business.

By signing contracts with telecom operators, they become their SP service providers, providing users with SMS, MMS, ringtones, pictures, WAP Internet access and other forms of services, and Internet companies can share part of the money.

"You go and ask the program team to see if they can also contract the SP business of the program, make money, and divide it into a part of the producer."

Wang Wei scratched his head again, how hot should this show be? You can also make money through SP business.

"But we don't have a wireless value-added service license?"

Wang Wei said: "Now that it has been supervised once, it is a little difficult to get a certificate."

"Okay, I'll solve it, you can do as I say first."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and Xia Jingxing called Chen Hong again.

"This certificate? It's easy to handle, you've found the right person for me..."

Chen Hong said a lot. He told Xia Jingxing that the relevant departments had tightened the issuance of certificates, and that he had no strong relationship with the telecommunications department, so it was really difficult to get this certificate.

Xia Jingxing thanked him repeatedly, of course he knew how muddy the water was.

When SP was just born in 2000, its annual revenue was only about 10 million yuan, and ten years later it was 150 billion yuan, accounting for one-third of Mobile's revenue.

The depth of the network inside is unfathomable. When the accident happened, many well-known Internet companies were investigated, including Zeng Liqing of Penguin who invited him to drink tea.

But Tudou just makes a little money and doesn't have so many concerns.
