Reboot 2003

Chapter 164 072: Future

It’s all here, let’s just change the ui, and get the video network to Meilijian, anyway, it’s a YouTube, it looks promising...

So recently, Lao Xu has opened an office in Silicon Valley, recruited two programmers, and opened the website.

But this project...how should I put it.

YouTube is of course very good. The YouTube modified by Chen Qinmo is half a year earlier than the historical YouTube, and it also has service support from the Celestial Dynasty, so it looks very attractive. Very good.

But Boss Chen doesn’t seem to attach much importance to this project. Compared with domestic Super Girls, events, and business cooperation, Meilijian’s Getai.en is almost in stock status, let alone serious. With so many domain names in hand, I am reluctant to change one.

Now the getai.com here is to add a mandatory jump to the main website of getai.com to judge the IP region, and the rest is basically waiting for the users to grow out of the ground... Of course, this model should be suitable for novice entrepreneurs It's the norm, but Boss Chen seems to really not care about it.

Of course, if you don't care about it, you don't care about it. In fact, Lao Xu doesn't like this project very much.

"This project is now using Google's technology. Google means that it can help us do it for free, but to share intellectual property rights, we need to exchange the patent fees of the advertising platform with them..."

The patents related to the DSP platform are currently Chen Qin’s biggest cash cow. He can earn 200 million US dollars in a month at the beginning of the year, and recently it has risen to more than 300 million. Google seems to be very heartbroken, so this time it is almost free to help Chen Qin. Video network...

But this is obviously a big loss for Chen Qin. After all, he did not have his own business overseas before, so Google had to pay him if he stepped on his patent. Now if he also stepped on Google’s patent, it would be different—and At that time, whether it is cross-licensing or setting up barriers separately, it will mean that his income level in overseas industries will directly drop.

As for the income... How much does the English station of Shuixiegetai need to be to make more money than licensing the patent to Google?

"Aotian, you probably don't understand Google's recent development momentum."

Old Xu seemed to have considered this matter seriously, and he persuaded Chen Qin in turn—

"Google's financial report has come out after listing, and their Priceprofit data is completely different from other Internet companies."

"They made $15 billion in revenue last year, and they've surpassed $30 billion this year, and that number continues to grow."

"In the past, people thought he couldn't make money, but it's really special. Not only is the profit high, but their money-making efficiency is also higher than that of every Internet company. I mean their income statement..."

“根据预期，他们每积累1美元可以赚30美分，相比之下沃尔玛1美元只能赚4美分，亚马逊1美元只能赚2美分。”

"Those rich people seem to think that Google is the future of the Internet. Of course, I know that Shuixiegetai has a bright future in China, but in Meilijian, can it really be more promising than the patents related to Google's core business?"

"In short, you can figure it out for yourself. You know more about advertising than us, but I don't think you can ignore this. I sent Google's financial report to your mailbox. You'd better take a look at it when you have time... "

In the past, Lao Xu was just doing business. Recently, he was working on a project in his own office. Naturally, he looked at the problem from a different perspective. Profitable.

However, it has been more than a year since he started his business in San Diego. It was the first time for Xu to think on his own, and he came to the conclusion that the project he did was completely useless to the company.

"Don't worry about it. Although we have these patents, it shouldn't be difficult to bypass them. This year, Google doesn't want to lose to ad.net. In the future, they should find a way to bypass it. Waiting for the patent fee will always be difficult. When you go down..." Chen Qin said, "Shuixiegetai English station, no matter what, you can sell a wave of quick money, in short, you just stay away, and you can hand over your daily work to the hired Texas guy as much as possible... ..."

"Is it really that exaggerated..." Old Xu also thought seriously, "By the way, this time I also asked Sean Parker if he wants to partner with us."

"What did he say?"

"As soon as he heard about the video network we were doing, he ran away like he saw a ghost."

"..."

It's hard to explain to him about the ugc platform for now, but Lao Xu probably understood what Chen Qin was worried about, and wrote down everything Chen Qin said.

After talking about the Getai English website, we talked about the progress of several recent patent applications.

When it came to the next investment plan, the content of the conversation also became casual.

"I met some people recently. They suggested that the company do some asset planning, buy some financial products that preserve value, and really want to speculate in stocks, at least do some hedging..."

"What do they know? We only buy stocks with full positions, so you can make money or not!"

"I didn't make any money anyway. I bought Tencent from you for the first time. I didn't follow suit. I missed Google. I feel like I lost money..."

"It's too late to change now. If it doesn't work, we can also buy Tencent, or we can buy Baidu next year."

"Then let's talk about it at that time! Actually, I think so too, as long as there is enough money."

"Why, do you want to wash your hands in the golden basin?"

"Of course not. I just feel that buying and selling stocks is really unreliable. In addition, I called my daughter just now, and she asked me what to do with the money from the last singing."

"What did you say? You didn't let her buy stocks?"

"No, I said I'd ask someone else. Your method is still too radical. Her money can probably buy some assets to preserve value... It just feels like she has more money than me now."

"Hahahaha! Don't worry, when this project is sold, there is still hope to keep the family status."

"Then I'll trust your judgment, but I really feel that, in fact, the money is enough..."

"I know what you mean, but recently I feel that it is very important. After the Chinese New Year, I will give you a vacation to accompany your family! Your daughter is so smart, I think she should still be able to take care of herself."

"Haha, I think so too. Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that she has fallen behind in her grades recently. She told me Dad that I didn't make it into the top ten this time... Speaking of which, Aotian, do you think this degree is useful after all?" ?”

"Education...Of course it's quite useful. Aren't you in San Francisco? There is a venture capital street outside Stanford. When you see a startup, ask if it's from Stanford or an Ivy League school. If you leave it in China, you can add Jinghua, otherwise you will be in IT. It’s embarrassing to talk to people in the circle, do you think education is useful?”

"Aren't there exceptions? I'm a normal student, and I can still get in touch with people because of the name of the company. Then Sean Parker dropped out of school and stood with the group of Harvard people. People who pay attention to their company are all for him. went to..."

"So it's useful to say that it's useful, but it's not necessarily useful anyway. Besides, although this thing is not cost-effective, if you plan ahead, there are still many shortcuts..."

jingle bell bell -

Two men in their thirties were blowing water through the Internet phone when the phone on the other side rang.

Old Xu muttered who was calling, Chen Qin said, then you answer it, I'm going to eat.

However, Old Xu took out the phone and looked at it: "Oh, it's Sean Parker's."

So Lao Xu turned on the speaker, and Chen Qin didn't hang up the Internet call, just listening quietly.

The voices of two beautiful and strong young men were released from the external mobile phone. They seemed to be greeting Lao Xu, saying what have you eaten, what are you doing, are you having a party? It sounds very enthusiastic, although Chen Qin can hear I don't understand half of it, but this group of people spoke so fast that he couldn't even respond to Lao Xu's reciting accent.

But... it is possible to know who these two people are, and Lao Xu probably specially emphasized their names in the conversation to let him know.

One is Sean Parker, one is Zuckerberg.

After all, Lao Xu is Santiago's agent in Meilijian, and these two guys are his juniors, and because of some relationship, the tone of these two people sounds flattering and flattering.

But halfway through, the air seemed to suddenly become serious.

Sean Parker said something in a low voice, but Old Xu didn't answer right away. He held down the receiver and suddenly said to the computer: "It's Facebook. They said they wanted to talk to us about investment...they are willing to negotiate terms!"
