Actually I just want to act

Chapter 55 Is it still an Internet company without burning money?
Li Dongpeng finally accepted this fact, because he also knew that some good people were unreasonable.

"So, what is Boss Fang asking me to do?" Li Dongpeng was not stupid, he had already guessed what Fang Jiming meant, but he had to ask him personally.

Fang Jiming smiled and said, "Call me Fang Dong from now on, Boss Fang is a bit out of class. Let's put it this way, I think you are a talent, so I want you to join the company."

Li Dongpeng was a little excited: "Do you want to continue to make a navigation website?"

Fang Jiming was silent for a while, and then said: "The navigation website actually has no future, and you know it. This good navigation network technology company is also a temporary choice, and Shenghai is not very suitable for the development of the Internet."

Li Dongpeng is used to Fang Jiming referring to the "Internet" as the "Internet", but he doesn't understand why it is a "temporary choice"?
"You don't like the navigation website?" Li Dongpeng asked back. In fact, many times, employment is a two-way choice.The boss chooses the employees, and the employees also choose the boss.Because whose youth is not youth, if you follow the wrong boss, not only will you not learn anything, but you will get chicken feathers and duck blood, and even go to court, there are too many such things.

Fang Jiming smiled and said, "It's not that I don't like it, but there are better projects. For example, I want to build a Chinese ISU."

"I also use ISU, and it's not bad." Li Dongpeng felt strange, "Why do you want to use a Chinese ISU?"

Fang Jiming said flatly: "ISU is not suitable for Chinese people, and China also needs its own instant messaging software. Let's put it this way, just because ISU can't store friends on the server, it can't compete with us!"

Li Dongpeng jumped up and said, "Are you planning to store online friends on the server?"

Fang Jiming said with a smile: "Not only online friends, but also chat records must be saved."

Li Dongpeng is not a rookie, of course he knows what it means to create this instant message. "You're crazy, how many servers do you want? Just renting servers, I'm afraid it will cost millions a year, or even more!"

"Of course it costs money?" Fang Jiming looked at Li Dongpeng strangely, "How can it be possible to start an Internet business without burning money?"

This is the truth. Fang Jiming's Internet bosses in his previous life were all made by burning money.For example, Ma Xiaoyun, such as Shencheng Ma, are all experienced users who burn money.For example, Taobao, Taobao in the parallel world was founded in 2003, but it did not start to make profits until 2009.In other words, Ma Xiaoyun burned money for six years.

And what about Tencent in Shenchengma?The entire company was sold for almost 60 yuan. If no one bought it, Shenchengma would have really changed hands.How can it persist until the day when Tencent goes public and its market value soars?You know, in 1998, after Shen Chengma, an ordinary family, founded Tencent, because Guangdong Telecom tendered more than 90 yuan to build an instant messaging system.There is no doubt that more than 90 yuan is a very large project for a start-up company.Shenchengma, who came into contact with the instant messaging software ICQ developed by the Israelis earlier and became its user, saw the business opportunity and decided to make a Chinese instant messaging software, which is the predecessor of QQ-OICQ.

Therefore, the free instant messaging software OICQ was launched in the same year.Because of the rapid growth of OICQ users, another one adopts the free model that is always unfavorable in China. Therefore, the growth of OICQ users not only does not bring income, but also continuously increases Tencent’s operational burden and accelerates Tencent’s capital consumption. Server hosting costs are unaffordable.Tens of millions of server hosting fees are not a small amount, and they cost hundreds of thousands a year.

At that time, the Chinese market did not realize the commercial value of users, and did not understand the concept of venture capital financing.Shencheng Ma started running for money every day.Trapped by money, Shencheng Ma has approached the landlord of the renting and moving company—SEG Group in Shencheng, Guangdong Telecom, and Zhongbei Paging Group. He has also improved OICQ several times before bidding, but All unfortunately failed.For a time, the news that OICQ would charge fees, or even shut down, spread widely, and OICQ users panicked.At the most difficult moment, Shencheng Ma almost sold OICQ to Shencheng Telecom Bureau for 60 yuan.

In the same year, Miguo Online acquired ICQ, and immediately sent a lawyer's letter to Tencent, claiming that OICQ infringed the intellectual property rights of its software ICQ, and asked Tencent to stop using OICQ's domain name immediately.It's true that the leak in the house happens to rain all night, and the boat is late and encounters the headwind.Fortunately, when Shenchengma was at its weakest, he received investment from IDG and Xiangjiang Yingke, with a total of 110 million dollars.

Later, OICQ changed its name to QQ, and then disappeared on the road of burning money.What happened after that was a little more dramatic. IDG and Xiangjiang Yingke sold Tencent’s shares to South African MIH Group when the Internet economic bubble burst. This is also a dramatic scene that Tencent’s major shareholder is a South African company.And as I said before, Li Zekai, the son of Li Chaoren, his company is Xiangjiang Yingke.

Therefore, it is difficult to predict the opportunities for people and the development of the company.Only by persevering and surviving the hurdle of bankruptcy can you be reborn from Nirvana.And some money, you can't even eat it after it is delivered to your mouth-because you are essentially a profiteer.That's right, I'm talking about you, Li Chaoren and Li Zekai, besides speculating land and playing with capital, what else do you do? !
Tencent, which was established in 1998, only started making profits in 2003.Here, Shencheng Ma has been burning money for five years.

burn money?

What kind of Internet company does not burn money!

Fang Jiming asked: "Are you willing to join this money-burning war?"

Li Dongpeng felt a little excited when he heard it, and then asked: "How much money do you have to burn?"

Fang Jiming thought for a while and said, "1000 million, at least 1000 million."

This is not a joke, because Ling Changyun has indeed transferred 500 million to Fang Jiming's credit card.For a while, Fang Jiming has become a "big customer" of Shenghai Bank, and all he enjoys is VIP treatment.Fang Jiming has already planned to spend 1000 million to create a QQ in this parallel world, so naturally he will not be stingy with money.He knows the development history of Tencent, so he naturally understands what is a good product and what is a failed product.

For example, Fang Jiming will create QQ, create a QQ hierarchy, membership system, QQ show, and even a series of profitable products such as QQ games and Blue Diamond.

Behind this, I don't know how much money to burn.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not finished. Fang Jiming still wants to set up Taobao and then do logistics.We also need to set up an electronic manufacturing company to produce electronic products such as MP3, and of course we will switch to producing mobile phones in the later stage.And chip research and development requires an investment of 10 billion, and it will take ten years to see results.The example of Huawei is above. Of course, Fang Jiming will start research and development. If possible, he will seize the 4G research and development patents and advance the deployment of 5G to avoid the sanctions imposed by the United States.

There is so much to do and not enough money.

Li Dongpeng was frightened, because he thought that Fang Jiming would be able to raise 100 million yuan, which would be the best.

"I……"

Li Dongpeng was too excited to speak, finally took a deep breath, and said: "I want to join!"
