Age of Dreams

Popular recommendation:,,,,,,,

Compared to Hoffman who likes to stay in the United States and Silicon Valley, Milner prefers to run around the world.

Of course he didn't like it, just for the sake of doing business, in order to communicate with partners and discuss efforts to deal with the market, Milner can only travel around the world.

So he soon came to Rongcheng for the second time within three months.

Sitting in the sun room on the top floor of a five-star hotel, the air-conditioning made the room very refreshing, drinking moderate vodka produced in Russia and watching the starry sky outside, Milner was very comfortable.

"When I was outside, I was embarrassed to say that I liked vodka, because in the upper class in Europe and America, vodka is also a rude person to drink." Milner sighed: "But when I was a child, my family was very poor. The vodka I drank this time was a winter. After drinking it, I felt that my whole body was warm~www.readwn.com~ and I felt a bit more energetic."

"The things in my own country, the things in my childhood memories, will always occupy a very important position." Xiao Qi smiled, "However, in order not to be isolated from the crowd, they will always make compromises of this kind. There is nothing wrong with it."

Milner nodded, "So I used to think, if I get to the point where I am so young, will I do my own way? The answer is no, because I am already very old, and it is impossible to be as young as you. Like people, they do things that don’t match their age and experience."

Xiao Qi laughed blankly and said, "You are saying that I am stubborn and willful. I don't conform to the customs and rules of the business world at all?"

"It's not, but I envy Qi Shao, and I can do things according to my own mind, and don't care about other things." Milner smiled, "At least I can't resist the pressure, I dare not let it go. Permission to go out."

Although the valuation has continued to rise in the past two years. But it is also a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is that it controls almost all app developers in the world, has a powerful and unmatched influence, and the whole is a closed system, so it is naturally regarded as unfriendly competition.

If it weren't for the fact that developers had signed an agreement before, so that they could cooperate with the Microsoft Store and Android Store, it would have to be split.

The previous life Qiao's gang leader did not encounter this. The reason is that Apple's major shareholders are all important large companies in the United States, and the entire interests are owned by Americans. Of course, they will open up the Internet.

But now most of the shares are in the hands of the fairy company, of course someone will deliberately ask for trouble.

So the lawsuits have been going on in the past two years, and even the leader of Qiao sighs that this is a cheap Mario law firm. How many opportunities does it provide them with exercise?

Rao is so, Xiao Qi, Qiao Gangzhu and Li Jianxi did not mean to give in. This is related to the foundation for the three companies to settle down in the future, how can they be shared by others?

Anyway, the monthly profit has soared to 4 billion U.S. dollars. Excluding the necessary server increase and cloud storage layout, there are now about 1 billion U.S. dollars left every month. In addition to the profits, the expenses used in the lawsuits , Not much.

But there is one thing worth noting, that is, the monthly sales of 60 billion U.S. dollars since November last year. Eight months have passed, but sales have dropped directly to 50 billion US dollars.

Although because many developers gave up 20% of the profit sharing. Choosing a non-exclusive contract increased the net profit margin to 8%, an increase of 1 billion US dollars from the previous 3 billion US dollars, but the reduction in turnover is not a good thing.

The reason is that, on the one hand, the market has gradually stabilized, and it will not be like when the smartphone was just launched. Everyone will buy everything they see, and they buy a lot. People nowadays are much more sensible.

On the other hand, the number of users has not increased much, and without more people joining the use of smart phones, it will naturally not increase the turnover.

At this point. Xiao Qi, Qiao Gangzhu and Li Jianxi all have a clear understanding.

Perhaps the next step in sales will continue to decline, and even profit margins will follow.

But these are not important. It is not judged by a momentary win or loss. What it has to do is to do a solid job of every detail and firmly grasp the hearts of users, so that it can always become the dominant leader in smart app applications .

Of course, the net profit of 4 billion US dollars per month is already very, very scary. The envy and hatred of countless people is also an important reason for their attacks.

Thoughts flashed by.

Xiao Qi nodded and said: "We Chinese, you Russians, it is really not easy to make a little achievement in Europe and America. But just because I have reached this point, I have no reason to give up or give in, only Only if we persist in going on will we live up to our original hard work."

This was speaking to Milner's heart.

If he is not Russian, how can he be so hard in investment business?

Isn't it because the United States has always hated Russia, so it is not treated even with him?

Shaking his head, Milner put this behind his head, put down the glass and said, "Sorry, I'm here to congratulate you this time. We bought% of the shares for 4 billion US dollars, and the% of shares for 600 million US dollars. Shares are the largest shareholder and the top five shareholders. Hehe, someone in the United States is saying sourly that our fund is adding assets to Miss Tang Mingxiang!"

Tang Mingxiang is the largest shareholder.

Because of Milner’s investment, Tang Mingxiang bought% of the shares for 8 billion U.S. dollars. In just two years, it has skyrocketed to the value of 12.8 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of more than 50%.

The vast majority of people in this world cannot earn 4.8 billion US dollars in a lifetime, but Tang Mingxiang earned it in two years. It is incredible.

Xiao Qi smiled slightly, "In fact, she has a good vision, and her future growth is worth looking forward to. Our investment can make at least five or six times that."

"I think so too." Milner nodded and said, "Although compared. The value is much higher, but its growth rate will be much higher and the profit will be much higher."

"Yeah, you have worked hard this time." Xiao Qi said, "Next, are you going to rest for a while or continue to do things?"

"The flash sale website has just assembled the staff. I have to stare at it. I won't rest recently." Milner shook his head.

"Then, you still have free time. Will you help me to establish a few more Internet companies?" Xiao Qi asked calmly.

"Do you want to start?" Milner was stunned. "How many entrepreneurial ideas do you have in your mind? Will you give other entrepreneurs a way to survive?"

Since Xiao Qi said that he wanted to start a company, according to Milner’s previous understanding of Xiao Qi, he must have been founded with a valuation of at least 1 billion U.S. dollars. Several companies worth several billion U.S. dollars were created all at once, and only Xiao Qi I can imagine that only Xiao Qi can have this ability.

"These are things that I have thought of in the past few years, and I don't necessarily say that they are right or wrong. But I think it is quite interesting, so let's do it first!" Xiao Qi shrugged. "Don't be so surprised, think about Edison, I am a far cry from him!"

Edison's thousands of inventions in his life are naturally a wizard.

On weekdays, everyone compares Xiao Qi to Edison, and because of Edison this wizard. So Xiao Qicai was not regarded as such a weird character.

Milner nodded and shook his head, "Tell me, what company is it?"

"The first is called a crowdfunding website, which means that creative individuals or companies can use their own research and development projects. Go to this website and raise funds from the crowd, called crowdfunding for short." Xiao Qikankan And talked, "The initiator needs to specify how much money he needs and what returns he will give to the investors. Only when the investors agree to their terms and the funds raised meet the needs, the project cooperation is considered to be established. In the project After its establishment, the website will withdraw 5% of the funds for operation and profit."

Milner closed his eyes and thought for a while, with a solemn expression on his face, "This is to build a platform for middlemen? The creation of the website is easy, but the most important thing is to monitor the funds and review the qualifications of the initiators. It can’t be a way to cheat money.”

"That's it." Xiao Qi smiled, and turned to the second item: "When I browse the web, especially when browsing pictures, I always see the bottom, so I need to click and scroll again with the mouse. Page, which makes me feel a bit cumbersome. So I wondered, can I invent a program that allows a webpage with pictures as the main content, whenever I turn to the bottom, it can load new pictures by itself, Let me continue to look down. Let me use a visual example ~ www.readwn.com~ that is the form of a waterfall, which keeps pouring down."

"This is just a little trick, isn't it?" Milner didn't understand this.

"If I set up a social networking site for pictures based on this procedure, so that all the pictures you post can be displayed on one page, wouldn't it be interesting?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Uh... I don't know about this, but it's a bit too simple!" Milner still insisted on his opinion.

"Simplicity is not a reason for not being able to develop. Just find a professional team to do it for me." Xiao Qi didn't explain to him more. "I will do these two first in the past few months, plus flash sale. Website!"

"it is good!"

Milner readily agreed.

Anyway, it was Xiao Qi who paid the money. He only had to take the lead in finding the technical and management team.

Whether it's losing money and making money, it doesn't have much to do with him. You can help Xiao Qi run errands and win ties in order to have the most important contacts. (To be continued...)
