Age of Dreams

Last year, Xiao Qiyou invested in many websites.

Without exception, these sites are proven excellent sites.

For example, the Fairy Crowdfunding website. This crowdfunding website published in the vast tide of websites did not receive much attention at the beginning, but when the European debt crisis continued to spread, the US economy also became worse. Banks and investment funds After tightening money, it gradually became popular.

In the past, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, as long as they have good ideas, they don't have to worry about being fooled into investing.

As for whether it can be as successful as the company, these technical nerds don't care, as long as they can enjoy the process of their own creation and research and development.

But the money-making effect is just such a thing.

As long as they see that one in a hundred others is super successful, those investors will take the initiative to ignore the 99 failed investments and become more active in influx.

So the Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have had a very good life in recent years.

But at first it was the subprime mortgage crisis, then the financial crisis, and then the debt crisis. Many funds suffered so much loss in this, so that their money has shrunk successively, and they dare not invest as generous as before. Up.

So these Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are in trouble.

Especially those entrepreneurs who only need tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of funds are even more troublesome.

Don't think that fund companies don't care if they have less money. In fact, they don't have any interest in this kind of small investment ideas.

In the past, they could cast a lot of nets, but now they would rather see another one appear and make sure that it can be made bigger before investing.

Although it won’t be as much as if I joined it at the beginning, it’s a very safe way to earn money anyway.

And these small entrepreneurs, don’t look at a talented person of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Silicon Valley has hundreds of thousands of R&D personnel. If you want to give them all, they will accumulate, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. I went out lightly.

at this time. The fairy crowdfunding with a little fame, suddenly began to vigorously start advertising, and it can be seen almost in newspapers, TV, and the Internet.

Entrepreneurs are smart people, just look at the rules. I knew what was going on. Looking at it as "Fairy Crowdfunding", it was a company founded by Xiao Qi, and its creditworthiness was guaranteed, so I went in naturally.

Go in like this. They naturally discovered the benefits. After a little research, many people immediately uploaded the rough content of their creativity to the Internet, and then they successfully concluded a crowdfunding contract, and got the money to start research and development. .

With a successful example, many people followed suit.

They are facing thousands of ordinary people this time, how they want to impress ordinary investors. This group of entrepreneurs do not understand or are very proficient, and their success is the key. It just happens to be able to tell ordinary investors, not what their R&D direction is.

Therefore, after everyone pondered and discussed with each other, they became more and more comfortable with how to deal with these ordinary investors, and then the successful crowdfunding examples were one after another. By November, there were already more than 3,200 large and small crowdfunding. Examples appeared.

The most powerful one is about the research and development of environmentally friendly bicycle materials. It crowdfunded more than 5 million U.S. dollars from more than 1,200 investors in one go!

After the news came out, it immediately shocked the entire entrepreneurial and investment community!

All of a sudden, everyone paid more and more attention to fairies crowdfunding.

And after Milner's propaganda of spending money again. This new type of entrepreneurship and investment model has also begun to expand in the United States, and even many people in Europe have invested in it.

Although it is during the financial crisis, the ordinary middle class still has more or less inventory. They are not very reliable in the stock market and funds. Now they find that there is such an investment opportunity without a lot of money, and they can invest in some more projects, which makes them very excited.

Unsuccessful means the book loses hundreds or thousands of dollars, but what if it succeeds?

If I find the next one. Is the next Uber? Isn't that a very profitable thing!

Ok.

Now these ordinary investors are also caught in the predicament of this wealth-making effect.

And the harder the external environment, the more willing they are to invest.

Seeing that ordinary investors are so active, those professional investors and investment companies have also begun to look squarely at this originally inconspicuous crowdfunding website.

A new type of crowdfunding plan, detailed capital investment guarantee, perfect distribution plan... etc., it is like opening a new door in the investment industry, and it greatly reduces the threshold, allowing ordinary people They can all join together and participate in it.

If one person's strength is not enough, then a hundred people or a thousand people can pool together money to provide help to entrepreneurs and have the hope of getting rich.

They suddenly discovered that if this crowdfunding website was allowed to develop and tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people participated in it, their so-called financial advantages, network advantages, etc., would not be useful at all. , His own job was smashed!

However, the panic turned into a panic, and they still can't do anything with this crowdfunding website.

Because this crowdfunding website is called Fairy Crowdfunding, and it is a company founded by Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world. If it is against Xiao Qi, no one is interested in it!

You know, Xiao Qi is notoriously difficult and revengeful, and the lesson is still in sight. Who has so much leisure to fight against hundreds or thousands of lawyers. Have I eaten too much? ?

So they made a decisive decision and rushed in, trying to find interesting projects and invest a little bit.

After entering, they realized that there were so many interesting projects, so the investment couldn't be stopped. They continued to invest one after another. Unknowingly, millions or even tens of millions of dollars were spent cleanly.

Under such investment, Fairy Crowdfunding reached more than 7,200 projects in total by the time of February, with a total of more than 300 million U.S. dollars.

Compared to the $500 million invested by Xiao Qi, half of it has been spent, and the raised funds are actually about this amount. On the surface, it seems to be a bit of a loss.

But both Milner and the management are happy.

They know that the good reputation gained by spending money is now beginning to affect people.

More than 300 million is just the beginning. With the steady influx of entrepreneurs and investors, it is not surprising that in 2010, the amount of crowdfunding exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

As long as there are a few successful examples of Fairy Crowdfunding, then Fairy Crowdfunding will become the world's number one crowdfunding company. It is just around the corner!

And even at this time, the Royal Bank of Scotland has already valued the Fairy Crowdfunding at 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. Although you know that Xiao Qi’s company will probably not be sold, but everyone can start a billion-dollar company with Xiao Qi's random shots. , I still feel very envious.

A genius boy is a genius boy, really extraordinary!

Fairy crowdfunding has become so popular, but in fact, in the United States, there is also a website invested by Xiao Qi, which is even more popular than fairy crowdfunding.

It is the Pinqu website.

Milner is an investor. He does things much more meticulously than Hoffman. He doesn't have the vigorous momentum. He has to polish the project before launching it to the market.

Last year, Xiao Qi used to create ideas for Milner with the Fairy Crowdfunding, but the Fairy Crowdfunding went live in September, but it didn't go online until November.

There are hundreds of social networking sites, and Pinqu’s biggest advantage is only one, and that is the waterfall image loading method.

Its biggest advantage is that you don’t need to turn pages to read the photos and pictures of the same user, so you can read them all the way down, which eliminates a lot of operating procedures.

Similarly, when you search for pictures of the same type on the top, these pictures and photos will continue to be loaded below, all on the same page, making you look very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

Don’t underestimate such a picture loading method. Young people nowadays, the most annoying is trouble. What they like most is to be as simple as possible. Only in this way can they be attracted to your website and they are interested in staying there.

There is no doubt that this has been achieved, especially among older college students and young people who are new to the workplace ~www.readwn.com~ It suddenly became popular.

Since Christmas, the unknown has become the 22nd place on North American social networking sites. After the New Year, it has directly reached the tenth place on North American social networking sites. The front is full of big websites such as,, Meitu Sharing and so on.

A social networking site that has just started its business for less than three months suddenly rushed so fast, and it captured the hearts of young people, which made many people in the industry puzzled.

But the fact of 58 million registered users and 33 million active users is real.

And the word-of-mouth is particularly good. Those users can't tell why they like it so much, but they are willing to spend their time on it, read pictures and photos happily, and greet their friends to join in and share them together.

Seeing it so fast and popular, even Goldman Sachs couldn't help but after careful evaluation, gave a valuation of 2 billion US dollars.

"Its growth space is unimaginable, maybe we have seen another one to share with Mito!"

Goldman Sachs commented so. (To be continued.)
