Age of Dreams

Of course, the three creative ideas Xiao Qi came up with would not be generic. Those are only worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and he has no interest in blending them.

The first creative idea is called "", the full name is called "", translated into Chinese is called "in the air food and lodging".

Chinese people may be unfamiliar with the Internet company, Air Accommodation, because it basically has no room for development in China, but it is extremely popular abroad, especially in Europe and the United States.

This service-oriented website was founded in August 2008 and is dedicated to short-term rental of travel houses. Users can publish or search for housing rental information where you want to go through the Internet or mobile phone applications, and then directly The process of booking online or confirming the reservation.

It is worth noting that the rental information for air boarding and lodging is not provided by places like hotels or small hotels, but both parties to the lease are individuals.

Let me give you an example. You want to travel to Barcelona and you want to find a clean, cheaper hotel that can provide an authentic Barcelona breakfast. It may cost $100, but if you change the hotel Become an ordinary resident of Barcelona, ​​then it is very likely that you can spend 50 dollars and get a better experience than a hotel.

On the other hand, if you live in a tourist city, but your house always has one or two vacant rooms, then you can display the specific information of the room on the air board and lodging, indicating which services you will provide . Then someone decides to rent your room on certain days and wait until you confirm his identity information and bank payment information are correct. A deal can be reached.

Air boarding and lodging maintains its own website operation and profitability by charging tenants and landlords a certain percentage of the transaction price.

Through this means of contact, the concept of accommodation in the air has subverted the concept of people's travel housing, and has therefore developed rapidly, becoming a large-scale service-oriented website valued at US$5 billion.

The second brilliant idea is called "". The main function is a social networking site for geographic sharing. Users can use the terminal to share their current location with friends at any time. And upload your local instant information, as well as the evaluation of some local shops, restaurants, hotels, etc., for other people's reference.

Yes it is.

Unlike the original version launched in 2009, Xiao Qi's version is more commercial.

The most important thing in the original was actually an irrelevant model of "sharing the location and signing in to get the badge title reward", so it developed into 2013. After other competitors appeared, they were in a great dilemma and couldn't find a business incentive at all.

And Xiao Qi’s is different, not only allows the circle of friends to see where you are now, the whole process of traveling, but also can share your instant information at any time. You can also learn about the various customs of tourist locations from the perspective of friends, and the choice of hotels, restaurants, and shops will also be very inspiring.

In this way, there is a good business entry point. There is tourism to promote peripheral products, which will be commercialized in the future. It is entirely possible to charge a certain service fee based on the ratio of transactions between customers and merchants.

The original version is only for sharing geographic location. The valuation in 2013 was 1.2 billion US dollars, and Xiao Qi’s commercialization has increased several times, not to mention the loss of 3 billion US dollars.

Either way, Xiao Qi did not change its name out of respect for the original founder, but the third company, because it already had a prototype, could no longer follow its original name.

This company is called Zynga, and everyone is not familiar with its name, but if you mention a game it has developed, then everyone will suddenly realize that they will say, "Ah, it is it!"

This game that everyone is very familiar with is called "Happy Farm", which is called "Happy Farm" in China. They made the classic game that was popular in China, men, women, children, and even grandparents who had to get up in the middle of the night to steal food.

"Happy Farm" is also the best-selling champion game for three consecutive years. The top ten best-selling games of the year for users in its heyday, Zynga family accounted for six. After Zynga's listing, the highest stock price reached $11.5 billion, which is called the entire game The overlord of the industry!

Zynga was established in the middle of this year, but they won’t be soaring until they bought the developer team of "Happy Farm" in 2009. They are still wondering how to develop.

The name Zynga is the name of the dog in the company Pincus’ family, and they also have the image of this puppy. Xiao Qi doesn’t like it that much, and because Zynga doesn’t have any need to acquire it, so just take them directly. "Happy Farm", "Happy City", "Texas Hold'em", "Coffee World", and other companies' "Pet Community", "Bejeweled Blitz", etc., started a new online game company.

Hoffman is now seeing more than a dozen detailed and interesting games on the online social game project ~www.readwn.com~ I feel it is amazing.

He is such a keen angel investor, of course, if these games are spread, or even on the Internet, what a viral spread will be, which can completely arouse the trend of people playing casual games.

Now whether it is a website or a game, the most important thing is the number of audiences and the database.

If these games are concentrated in a game company, then its audience is conservatively estimated to have at least 100 million, which is still the least!

Normally, the peak audience of three to five billion people is definitely not wishful thinking.

Think about it, how much market imagination should a game company with three to five billion users have?

And further, how big a miracle will Xiao Qi bring up three such creative company ideas together?

Just thinking about it, Hoffman has the urge to roar! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote recommended votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to read.)
