Reboot 2003

Chapter 66 066: FB
Lao Chen and Lou Xuemei seem to be very concerned about this matter, they only know that Lao Xu made a fortune in Lin'an for no apparent reason last time, and this time he went to the United States suddenly, so they are probably really curious about Lao Xu's recent situation.

Chen Qin didn't explain much, it's really hard to explain...

However, Chen Qin lay on the bed that night and opened the mailbox.

The first thing I saw was Gu Wenjie's email. Gu Wenjie had just talked with him before, but after thinking about it for a while, he sent an email to Chen Qin.

"I've thought about it, Aotian, all three of your suggestions are very good, I think we can go forward in three ways and do it together. Speaking of which, what do you think of us making another wave of investment at the end of the year?"

Before, Chen Qin proposed three development routes - one is to increase the pricing method of the Kuaikan platform, the other is to develop Internet cafe programs, and it is best to manage the system to increase the upstream and downstream control of Internet cafe advertisements, and the other is to directly develop free online games.

Seeing this reply, Chen Qin was a little speechless. Just now he said that more investment is not better, especially to attract investment to expand the scale of operation, which may be thankless, and the operation of diluting one's own equity after spending money. Therefore, developing new businesses is a very risky decision for Internet companies. Even if Chen Qin is very confident in the ideas he put forward, he cannot support his ideas.

"Wen Jie, you can't pull investment when you need it, you have to wait until you have the highest valuation. I suggest that we finish the current model first..."

As a primary school student with rich experience in Internet entrepreneurship, Chen Qin needed to impart some life experience to his partners, so he replied to a long text in the past, and he didn’t know how much Gu Wenjie could listen to. Now that Gu Wenjie and Ali jointly hold 67% of the shares, the financing decision can actually bypass Chen Qin theoretically. As long as the anti-dilution clause is not violated, Chen Qin can’t stop it.

But since Gu Wenjie asked, of course Chen Qin had to give him some advice, whether he would listen or not was his own business.

But after answering, Chen Qin saw another email...it was a work report from Lao Xu.

Recently, he went to Meilijian to buy a domain name... In fact, there was nothing to do. Normally, the domain name transaction can be completed directly through the intermediary platform. Although there is some handling fee, it is of course much cheaper than the air ticket.

However, compared with direct registration, domain name trading has more judicial risks based on transaction behavior. It seems that in this era, there are already judicial hooligans who specialize in cheating foreigners. To be on the safe side, Chen Qin tried to choose this short domain name with a higher unit price to reduce risks. At the same time, he sent Lao Xu to sign the contract... So the main purpose of hiring Lao Xu to go abroad this time is to control risks.

But there are other purposes as well.

For example, you can ask Lao Xu to meet those sellers, and when you meet, you can use a set of words and ask them if they know where mi.com and jd.com are...

These two domain names are high-priced domain names, the same as the ones Chen Qin bought before. The market price should be around [-] to [-] US dollars. Compared with the short domain names bought by Chen Qin, they are really bought by terminals. JD’s terminal is JD.com, and mi is Xiaomi’s domain name.

Because these two domain names were not on the market, Chen Qin couldn't find them everywhere; and if he directly asked or asked for a purchase by name, he would be regarded by the seller as a fat sheep terminal for purchasing the specified domain name.

So this time, it is easier to let Lao Xu make a trip in person, pretending to inadvertently ask those sellers during the transaction, what similar domain names do you have.

The resources in the hands of domain name investors are often highly concentrated. For example, the boss of vname has a lot of 2-digit domain names in his hands, earning a lot of money, and by 2023, he still holds more than a dozen, which makes the children next door drool.

It's a pity that when Lao Xu helped Chen Qin buy domain names before, he inquired about everything that should be inquired about, but he didn't know who owns these two superb domain names.

There should be no turning point in the future, so Chen Qin no longer cares about Lao Xu's report in the past two days.

But today's report contains relevant content——

"The people who are looking at it today also want to buy a domain name, so they asked me to help read the contract..."

Old Xu said something unplanned, but the person who watched it today also bought a domain name and spent a lot of money.

Chen Qin knew about this, in fact, it was originally his idea.

Recently, it seemed that a foreign website was going to be set up, so he suggested that Gu Wenjie buy a better domain name.

Finally, I settled on a domain name called ad.net and spent $16000.

This domain name is actually very good, although Chen Qin doesn't like it because it is a .net domain name, but ad is the abbreviation of advertisement, which is suitable for Kuaikan.com.

According to Lao Xu's report, the transaction should have been successful. After the transaction, the domain name ad.net became Kuaikan's property. It can be used for overseas websites or for yourself, and it won't lose money even if it waits for the appreciation.

"Because it was about the company's business, they didn't take me directly to participate, but Manager Liu, who was in charge of the negotiation, came back and told me that the seller seemed to have many other domain names and asked them to sell them."

So the result?

Chen Qin thought for a while, and wanted to reply and ask a question, but after thinking about it, he came to his senses.

Although Lao Xu is acting with the Kuaikan people, he has destroyed the data in Kuaikan Media before and was seen by others. Now that people know that he is the subordinate of 'Chen Aotian', they won't do anything to him, but because of this, he is a little afraid to communicate with the Kuaikan Media people.

Of course, this matter is not important at all, but it is idle anyway. Chen Qin did not expect the company to buy domain names together this time. He has to remind him of some legal knowledge. After all, Kuaikan Media owns one-third of the assets.

I called Manager Liu and explained the matter in a few words. Manager Liu was very happy: "Mr. Chen, you know a lot. This time we are passing Xiangjiang, why don't we go out for dinner together?"

"This... that's enough." Chen Qin quickly changed the subject, "Speaking of which seller is selling domain names to you today? I'm quite interested in this."

"Oh... it was a promotion. They have a domain name called '3636.com', which seems to have a meaning." Manager Liu said, "But I bought this."

Chen Qin was curious: "How much?"

"How about five hundred dollars?"

Chen Qin nodded: "It's good, take two more years, don't rush to sell, you should make a lot of money."

Manager Liu became interested: "There's also Aladdin's. Brother Ha bought it for $800. How about it?"

"Aladdin?"

"Yes, Aladdin."

"That's not bad, is it .com?"

"It seems to be .net, how is it?"

"This." Chen Qin organized his wording, "Should... you can pay back the money, and you can ask me next time you want to buy this."

"Well, there are actually some others. We don't dare to buy the ones that are too expensive. We just test the water casually."

Manager Liu sounded yearning and regretful, and finally got down to business.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Chen, how many other domain names do they have in their hands? It seems that there is a double-digit domain name."

"Two people? Numbers?" Chen Qin came to his senses, "What's it called?"

"They have both. One is called 74.com and it sells for $1."

"This... this domain name is a bit too much."

"Haha, let's just say, we Chinese people will definitely not buy it."

"What about the other one?"

"The other is a two-letter domain name. I forgot what it's called, but it's a combination of two meaningless letters."

"what is it call?"

"This one... I'm sorry, I really forgot this one. I just remember it's two letters. I don't know what it's for. I just remember that the price is very expensive. It's twenty-five thousand dollars a piece. If you want me to say, I might as well grab it."

"2 for two, it's really a bit expensive..." Chen Qin asked tentatively, "What starts with it? Does it start with m or j?"

"Not at all." Manager Liu talked eloquently, "Are you interested? Let me ask Brother Ha... By the way, there is one, and it starts with f."

Chen Qin nodded, what good products can there be at the beginning of f? 2 is of course not expensive. Two-letter domain names will be good domain names worth tens of millions in the future, but he has limited money. If he wants to buy an ordinary two-letter domain name, he might as well buy the nq or ow he saw before, which are cheaper.

However, Manager Liu said: "I found it. It's called Fb.com. The foreigner said that he didn't bargain for the price, and asked us to help sell it. He left a note. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"
