Chapter 155 Storm Effect
Unlike Jack Ma, Pony Ma was affected by the storm effect brought by Zhou Xin, and has been unable to get the first financing from Li Zekai and IDG for a long time.

The influence of Zhou Xin is seriously underestimated by describing the butterfly effect.

This is because Goose Factory's business at this time is mainly based on QQ, and its users are growing at a high speed, but it has not found a profit model.

With quora in front, quora has largely subverted the traditional view of investors and Internet entrepreneurs: the more users, the better.

You don’t need many users, quality is sometimes more effective than quantity, and the value created by a small number of quality users far exceeds that of a large number of ordinary users.

Under this new thinking, qq has no value, and the number of users continues to grow, but these users obviously will not pay, and cannot find a profit point. If it continues to develop, it will continue to consume server resources and network bandwidth.

It looks like a black hole that will be realized indefinitely.

Therefore, IDG Capital, which was originally going to invest, hesitated, and their hesitation caused Li Zekai to say wait and see.

Waiting and watching, the Nasdaq began to plummet, and this time it took longer to wait and see.

Pony Ma has already started to rely on the loans from the founder team to maintain the operation of QQ. If the investment cannot be obtained, Goose Factory will die before it leaves the school.

Pony Ma came to this Internet conference held in Yanjing with the mentality of attracting investment.

“We were all just saying what the American internet public companies are doing badly.

In addition, the market's unreasonable pursuit of Internet companies has caused the bubble to be blown. In fact, what do you think of the Internet?Because there have always been voices who believe that the Internet just moves information from offline to online.

It has not brought about any substantive changes, the Internet cannot have more impact on the economy, and the profits of the Internet are just a phantom that cannot be seen or touched. "

Such remarks have always been made, and even Krugman, the future Nobel laureate in economics, held a similar view.

Bill Gates finally laughed: "Isn't that obvious? Microsoft has had revenues of over $100 billion since many years ago.

Last year, Microsoft's annual sales volume was 197.5 billion US dollars, and I believe this figure will continue to maintain a high-speed growth trend this year.The operating system and office have fully proved that people will pay for software, which further shows that people have a lot of demand for computer use.

The same is true for the demand for Internet services, whether it is the success of Quora or Yahoo's revenue from advertising.

Even in the worst case, the Internet, as a carrier of information, is as valuable as all traditional media. "

Before Zhou Xin could throw the words to Yang Zhiyuan, he had already spontaneously started to speak: "I agree with Bill that the Internet has infinite potential, and now it is the problem of Internet companies, not the problem of the Internet itself.

With the development of technology and the innovation of business models, the penetration of the Internet into all walks of life will gradually deepen.

Yahoo and quora have changed the way of traditional media, and more and more paper media are trying to transform the Internet, hoping to expand their business online.

Microsoft's office has completely subverted the traditional office model, Amazon's changes in shopping methods, NewPay's changes in payment methods, and the influence of the Internet has actually been increasing.

In the future, the Internet will only change the world more and more, and it will eventually profoundly change our life, work and society. "

"Actually, I think people were too optimistic and enthusiastic about the Internet in the past, believing that the Internet can promote unlimited economic growth and completely change the world.

People always overestimate the changes brought about by short-term technological progress and underestimate the changes brought about by long-term technological progress.

This is also an important reason for the current decline in the Nasdaq Index. The short-term is too optimistic, and the current situation under the superposition of various negative factors is unacceptable.

Reality and expectations have been decoupled. In the long run, I am also infinitely optimistic about the development of the Internet. "

After the others finished talking about Zhou Xin, he finally said: "The essence of the Internet is the interaction of information, which has changed the way of information interaction in the past.

The traditional one-to-one communication method requires many-to-many and can only be done offline, and the number of people is limited. In a party, the number of participants is limited, and the number of people you can talk to is even more limited.

For example, if there are fifty people at a party, you may only be able to talk to ten of them.But the Internet is different. The emergence of online forums has made online communication many-to-many from the beginning.

And every sentence of yours can be aimed at different objects. You are not only replying to him individually, but also telling all forum users your views and opinions.

This is just one type of information exchange that has been changed, and other changes have occurred in all aspects.

The way of information interaction in the past, without exception, is being quickly or slowly changed by the Internet.

Needless to say on quora, I believe that many of you here are doing or have done products similar to quora, and have also deeply analyzed the positioning of this product and what needs of users it meets.

Riot Games may be unfamiliar to everyone, because this website belongs to the subdivision of video games, and its core functions cannot be used in Huaguo due to restrictions on electronic payment.

I can tell you how some functions of Riot Games have changed the traditional model. Users can buy video games through Riot Games, that is, online channels to buy video games.

Originally, the game was released in the form of a disc, and it would only be updated when there was a major version, but now after the online release, the game allows players to download supplementary packs to enrich the game content.

Some booster packs cost extra, while others don't.

原本游戏发行是从1到2，大版本更新需要积累足够多的内容才能发行2，现在从1到2之间有1.01，、1.02等无数个小版本更新。

These small version updates can help game production companies better understand whether their content will really be welcomed by game users.

Only users who purchase the game at the same time can rate the game. The scoring mechanism allows more and more players to do the first thing before buying a game is to open the fist game to see the number of people who rated the game and the average score.

Affected by Riot Games, the sales of game magazines plummeted.

Riot Games is a relatively simple Internet business model. All processes can be carried out online without any offline links.

I am actually very optimistic about the business model of e-shopping. No matter how big a physical store is, its options are limited, while e-shopping options are unlimited.

This infinity, superimposed scoring mechanism, allows users to make purchases based on actual evaluations, and at the same time place orders online and get goods offline.Needless to say, from the rapid growth of online transactions of companies such as Amazon and eBay, we can see that they have great potential for development.

E-shopping is different from online game distribution. They involve a lot of offline links, because after users place an order online, they need to get the product offline.Therefore, I think e-shopping will in turn promote the development and progress of industries such as logistics, warehousing, and electronic payment.

Generally speaking, the Internet and traditional industries are complementary and mutually reinforcing. They are not antagonistic. Traditional industries can find new vitality through the Internet, and the Internet will also find ways to meet their needs in traditional industries, and then find own profit model.

So I think that the current Internet is still too much about the Internet service itself, what problems the service solves, and which users are willing to pay for the problems it solves.

Few people think seriously about this issue. "Zhou Xin looked at the young faces in the audience, trying to find the second horse who will be famous all over the world in the future.

Before participating, he got the directory of participating companies and the list of participants from Wu Shiqiang.

He saw many familiar names from this list, including Jack Horse and Pony Horse.

Unfortunately not found.

After Zhou Xin finished speaking, Bill Gates took up the conversation: "Newman's point of view has his own characteristics.

I've known Newman for a long time, and I heard about Newman not long after he was an intern at Microsoft the summer he was in American.

The games they developed sold very well, Newman and two of my employees jumped out to start their own businesses, and the number of users of Riot Games launched rapidly.

Then I bought some shares of Riot Games from Newman, and then quora and NewPay came out. The biggest difference between Newman and other Internet entrepreneurs I know is that he is a strictly problem-oriented thinking mode.

The Internet products he makes always find out which needs can be met first, and which of these needs can find profit points.

Among other Internet entrepreneurs, many people have a wonderful idea. They think that the product made according to this idea is great, and users will definitely like it.

Before they make the product, they don't think carefully about what needs the product solves.Whether this demand exists widely in the user group or in a small part.

Whether the target customers have enough spending power, they don't care much about these.

Among the people I know, only Newman is making Internet products strictly according to this set of guidelines, and at the same time, he has already thought about the profit model before starting to do this.

This is really difficult. I believe that the Internet practitioners here in Huaguo should know how difficult it is to get money from users.

Microsoft also has an Internet department, including MSN and Hotmail, which are Internet services. We also conduct questionnaires and some business surveys.Users generally believe that Internet services should be free.

Even a few users think that you should pay me for using your Internet service.

Under such guidance, it is really difficult for Internet companies to find a profit model. "

What Bill Gates said is actually complaining about the spirit of open source sharing on the Internet. It is this spirit that has made Microsoft face many antitrust lawsuits, which try to make windows open source.

　I forgot to thank you yesterday, thank you for tipping me for not using a science knife!
