I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 548: The Ancient Net!
Seeing that Brother Xiao Ma brought Zhang Zhidong and Xu Chenye in, Lin Xiao vaguely guessed that they were here to report something.

At this moment, the three of them entered the door, and Brother Xiaoma first opened his mouth and asked Lin Xiao, "Mr. Lin, Eternal Technology is going to make a big move again?"

"What? Feel the pressure?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

Brother Xiao Ma smiled, "It's true. Although Eternal Network is the leading company in China's Internet field, there is indeed a gap in the group's internal comparison."

As he said that, Brother Xiao Ma added another sentence.

"And in the short term, there is no hope of catching up. Internet companies, unless they go public, it is difficult to catch up with real technology companies in terms of market value."

"But if it goes public..." Xiao Ma shook his head slightly when he said this.

Since the Nasdaq bubble last year, it can be said that the current Huaxia Internet companies have changed color when it comes to listing.

The stock prices of Sina, Netease, and Sohu were more than ten yuan when they went public, but now they have all fallen to around 2 yuan.

It has fallen by 80%, or even 90%, and China.com has fallen by more than 90.00%.

The pressure on several companies is not insignificant.

Because if it falls further, once it falls below 1 meter, it will face the risk of delisting.

According to the regulations of the US stock market, once a stock falls below 1 million yuan for three consecutive months, Nasdaq will issue a delisting warning.

And if there are still three months, it still fails to rise to more than 1 million yuan, it will be delisted.

What's more, it seems that Lin Xiao has not been very interested in going public since the beginning.

That's why Brother Ma at this moment has such emotion.

Lin Xiao obviously also heard the meaning behind what Brother Ma said, and now he smiled and said: "Actually, it may not be impossible to go public."

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Xiao Ma raised his head in surprise.

At this time, Lin Xiao continued to smile and said: "I really didn't think about listing in the short term before, on the one hand, I think there is a bubble and the timing of listing is not good.

On the other hand, the company is not short of money, and the current scale is not large enough. If it really wants to go public, those investment banks will ask too much. I don't want those foreign capitals to earn too much from us. "

"It is not impossible to go public when the Eternal Network grows bigger, and maybe some projects will be independent from the Eternal Network to establish a subsidiary company and go public.

For Lin Yesterday, it was really not too difficult to find a company listed on NASDAQ.

Moreover, he really has no obsession with this area.

Among other things, Baidu and Ctrip have a lot of shares. There is no problem at all for these two companies to be listed.

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Ma and the others didn't quite understand, so he didn't continue to explain.

The reason why I entered the Internet field before was that on the one hand, this field was a sunrise field, and on the other hand, I didn't want to see big foreign capital relying on Huaxia Internet to make a lot of money.

Therefore, in Lin Xiao's plan, he will not think about going public until the ancient network has an absolute right to speak in this field.

And at that moment, it would be impossible for those big capitals to suck as much blood from Huaxia Internet as they did in the previous life.

Of course, there will still be an appropriate distribution of benefits. Lin Xiao has never been a person who wants to eat alone.

Just like what Lin Xiao said to Xiao Ma and others just now, after a period of development, there will be many business sectors under the Eternal Network.

It is not intended to be listed on the Eternal Network as a whole.

Of course, it's too far to say these things now, but just now seeing brother Xiao Ma expressing his feelings, Lin Xiao also talked about it to encourage him.

Therefore, at this moment, Lin Xiao did not continue to talk too far on this topic.

Brother Xiao Ma saw that Lin Xiao didn't continue talking, and didn't ask any more questions, so he immediately said to Lin Xiao:
"Mr. Lin, the three of us came here mainly to report to you about the portal website."

"Ready to go online?" Lin Xiao asked.

In fact, when the three of Brother Xiao Ma came in, he guessed that the other party might be talking about the portal website.

Xu Chenye is in charge of information and publicity, and he is in charge of the portal website.

Brother Xiao Ma nodded, "It's fully prepared, and we think the time to launch it is relatively mature."

Lin Xiao is not surprised either. Counting it, it has been several months since the portal website was planned. If it was not because of the delay in the QQ version upgrade, the portal website should have been launched a long time ago.

"The sports and entertainment topics we agreed on before have been fully prepared. As soon as it goes online, it should be able to attract a group of young users." Xiao Ma continued to say at this time.

Young users, this is the user orientation of the Eternal Network Portal.

Doing a portal website is actually somewhat similar to doing a media business. Positioning is very important.

The overall users of Eternal Network are young, whether it is users of several games or QQ users, they are mainly young people.

Therefore, Lin Xiao also agreed with everyone on the portal website to focus on young netizens.

This point is actually very important. If Eternal Network itself has mainly young users, but the mainstream content of the portal website is mainly based on in-depth social reports, it will be difficult to retain users even with QQ traffic.

As for young netizens, Lin Xiao threw out the two most concerned topics, sports and entertainment.

Brother Xiao Ma continued to say at this time: "For sports, the NBA's special report has been prepared, and on the first day of the launch, we will officially start the text live broadcast.

In the entertainment section, the topics of Jay Chou and others have also been prepared and can be launched at any time. "

While Xiao Ma and others were talking, Lin Xiao had already opened the webpage on the computer.

The typesetting of the entire portal is relatively clean, with Lin Xiao's request, it is much cleaner than the other major portals.

And on the home page, reports about the NBA are in a very prominent position.

In the 2001 NBA, there is still some enthusiasm.

This year, the Lakers started their title defense journey, the Eastern 76ers and the Raptors fought 7 games, and Effison fought against Carter, all of which were very topical.

The NBA playoffs have already begun, and the first round of many matches has ended, and the second round is about to start.

Now, the preview on the website is the game between the 76ers and the Raptors the day after tomorrow.

The current technology of Eternal Network cannot support online video live broadcast, but text live broadcast can be done.

Even so, it is extremely new. For domestic basketball fans, the only channel they paid attention to before was watching through the China TV Sports Channel.

And another conspicuous report is about Jay Chou.

It has been more than half a year since Jay Chou debuted, and he has officially shown signs of becoming popular. His second album was just released last month, and it is very popular now. The fans are all young people.

As the boss, Lin Xiao asked the other party to cooperate in a special report, and Jay Chou would naturally not refuse.

With Jay Chou's recent popularity, he should be able to bring a wave of traffic to the portal website.

Of course, these two sections are not the only ones on the entire website. Eternal Network has also signed a cooperation agreement with some other news media, and will reprint some reports.

At the same time, Eternal Network has now formed a strong editorial team to collect news from all over the country.

Lin Xiao has read the website many times, and he chose the theme, so he has no opinion at this time.

At this moment, after Xiao Ma introduced the general situation, Lin Xiao also directly made a decision: "If all the preparations are done, then go online!"

After receiving Lin Xiao's approval, Xiao Ma and the others immediately went back energetically.

In fact, Brother Ma and others have been preparing for the launch of the portal website, and the cooperation from QQ has also been prepared for a long time.

So when Lin Xiao made a decision, Xiao Ma and the others didn't even wait until the early morning. They went back at 9 o'clock, and at 11 o'clock, Gengu.com was officially launched!
Of course, this is also related to the characteristics of the portal website.

Games and the like, everyone is looking forward to the early morning launch.

But who still watches the news in front of the computer in the middle of the night? Instead, it is the morning and noon time period, when you have nothing to do to read the news.

But in the way of going online, it is still simple and rude.

Lin Xiao directly borrowed from the method of the previous Tengxun.com, popping up pop-up windows automatically.

Therefore, all users who logged in to QQ received the news that the Eternal Online was launched at this moment!
For QQ users, they are still a little curious, but in a short period of time, there is no such thing as an influx of users.

After all, it is a portal website. Even if such a pop-up window goes online, QQ users still need a process of acceptance.

On the contrary, the industry and various media paid extraordinary attention and reported one after another, and within a day or two it became a big hot spot.

Naturally, several major portal websites also paid attention to the news of the launch of the ancient online, and they were all very nervous for a while.

Netease and Ding Lei have been watching the newly launched Gengu.com for two consecutive days, and they are very careful.

From the overall page layout to the key content of the home page.

After watching the content update of Gengu.com again, Ding Lei first let out a long breath, and then frowned slightly.

"President Ding, what's the matter?" Li Hui, the vice president next to him, couldn't help asking after seeing it.

Ding Lei thought for a while, and then said: "The user orientation of Gengu.com is different from ours, they mainly target young netizens.

The netizens faced by our major portals are older and more experienced, so in the short term, they should not form a direct competition with ours. "

After all, he has been working as a portal website for so many years, Ding Lei can still see it as long as he carefully analyzes it.

"If we had known that the portal website made by Gengu Network had no direct competitive relationship with us, we would not have used instant messaging software..."

Just now when Li Hui said this, Ding Lei looked over.

Realizing that what he said was wrong, Li Hui immediately turned embarrassed, but did not continue to speak.

At this moment, Ding Lei secretly sighed inwardly.

On the surface, the major portals were indeed worried that the portals of the ancient network would affect them, so they joined forces to release instant messaging software one after another.

But in fact, before that, several websites already had their own plans.

They also want to enter the instant messaging field to get a share of the pie, and while expanding their business scope, they hope to get more recognition from the capital market.

It's just that the ending was not satisfactory.

Now that things are going on, Ding Lei does regret his previous actions.

Looking back from now, in fact, if the several companies could really unite to make an instant messaging software together, and then use the resources of the three companies to jointly promote the same software, they might still be able to compete with QQ.

It will not end up in a situation where all three families are in a dilemma, riding a tiger.

Sohu's side is better, and the loss is not big.

His own NetEase and Sina are miserable. It is reported that due to the continued slump in stock prices and lack of profit channels, coupled with his missteps in the field of instant messaging, Wang Zhidong is facing strong criticism from Sina's board of directors.

Yesterday, Wang Zhidong and Ding Lei had a phone call.

From Wang Zhidong's words, Ding Lei could tell that the other party was probably leaving Sina.com.

What about yourself?

At this time, Ding Lei was not relieved that Gengu.com would not be competing head-on with several major portal websites for the time being.

Netease's situation is no better than Sina's, just because Ding Lei's own shareholding in Netease is much larger than that of Wang Zhidong.

So for the time being, that hasn't happened yet.

But Ding Lei also knew that if he could not stabilize or even reverse the situation, he might soon face the same pressure as Wang Zhidong.

Li Hui at the side saw that Ding Lei hadn't spoken for a long time, thought that Ding Lei was angry, so he simply left.

Li Hui is a professional manager invited by the board of directors, representing the capital side. Although Ding Lei is the boss, Li Hui doesn't really care about Ding Lei's thoughts.

Ding Lei didn't notice Li Hui's departure, his eyes flickered slightly at this moment.

Do you really want to go that way?
After sitting for about ten minutes, Ding Lei got up and went back to his independent office.

After closing the door, Ding Lei took out his mobile phone and dialed Brother Ma.

……

Lin Xiao actually stayed with Xiao Ma on the Eternal Network, and was watching the situation related to the launch of the Eternal Internet. At this time, he looked at Xiao Ma with some surprise.

"Ding Lei asked us to meet? Did you say why?"

Brother Xiao Ma shook his head, and then said: "Gengu.com has just been launched. In fact, we are not too far away, but Ding Lei said that he can come to the company."

"Listening to his words, it seems that things are very important..."

Lin Xiao was at a loss when he heard this. His own portal has just been launched, and with Ding Lei's level, he should be able to see that the two portals are different in terms of users.

Since there is currently no direct user competition between the two websites, why is Ding Lei looking for himself?
After thinking about it, he didn't think clearly for a while, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Lin Xiao said to Xiao Ma, "Promise him, ask him to come over tomorrow."

"Okay." Brother Xiao Ma responded, and then called Ding Lei back, asking him to meet the next day.
