Wall Street Legend

   Chapter 228 Guide (34)

  Whether it's a donation or a visit to Tencent, it's not an important event in Ye Dongqing's mind. He hasn't forgotten what the purpose of this visit is, so it's good to just watch the flowers on occasions that don't need to be taken seriously.

It's like visiting Tencent, it's more like a show, let reporters from media organizations take a few photos, and then he entered Bonnie Ma's office, talking to a group of people about these insignificant things, and even more Most of them are chatting.

Before coming to China this time, he asked someone to compile a list of outstanding IT companies worth investing in. Tencent’s name is in it, Alibaba is also in it, and Sohu, Sina, and Netease have long been listed on Nasdaq. To be listed, Ye Dongqing is not interested in them at all, because there is little news from later generations, which means that the influence is average.

What makes him difficult is that his past memories may not be completely correct. After all, with his arrival, the world has changed too much, so it is necessary to learn to look at problems with new eyes and pick out the ones that are really worth investing in. For high-quality companies, it takes more energy to judge whether a company is really worth investing in through experience.

At this moment, Ye Dongqing was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette, and said: "The current process that Tencent has experienced is also experienced in the United States. I mean the early 1990s, when the Internet just broke into people's lives. It is a very critical time to see everything new. You must be more cautious and leave a good impression on users, so that in the future, users will still have a good impression and continue to use the products produced by our company.

The United States is different now. As you may know, I am also engaged in a social sharing platform, sharing pictures, texts, voice calls and so on. QQ does not work in the United States. They are tired of looking at redundant things. I prefer simple pages and simple operation methods, as long as they can meet their functions, this is also Facebook's development philosophy. Of course, I am not saying that your products are not good enough. I just want to say that times are changing all the time. Who would have predicted that America Online, which has such a large user base, would suddenly close down? You are the executives of the company, so you cannot make the mistakes that have been made elsewhere, and you must be prepared for any change in market winds. "

Just a few minutes ago, Bonny asked Ye Dongqing to say something to the company executives, so Ye Dongqing said that in the business field, age is never a problem, and now his achievements are higher than everyone present, so No one thought anything was wrong.

Zeng Qing said: "The situation here is different. Adults seldom learn how to operate computers except for work needs. The price of this thing used to be too high, but it has gradually become popular in recent years, so users generally It’s young people in their teens and twenties, they like to play games, they also like things with more personality, and they are willing to spend money, we have done statistics on these.”

   "Very good. Data and goals are extremely important for Internet start-ups. Knowing what users want is half the battle, and making the product meet the needs of users is 100% success.

My Facebook program is popular in the United States, mainly because the group of people who have learned how to use computers since the 1980s and 1990s have grown up. They no longer need other things. It is enough to be able to change their avatars, not Play with Barbie dolls like a child and spend money changing their clothes. You have found the right starting point. This is a very good start. In the future, you may try more, such as developing a program that is more in line with the needs of adults. I even helped to think of the name, called WeChat or Online, Line. "

   This is probably a joke for Ye Dongqing’s self-entertainment. When he went to the Shanghai stock market, a friend let him experience scanning QR codes with WeChat, and his memory was very deep.

He is bound to get the shares in MIH Group. Recently, he has started to send people to contact the people of MIH Group in private. The strength was not enough when we talked last time, but now it is enough. It depends on Ye Dongqing's willingness to raise the price. He knows The possible rewards, so of course I am willing.

Different from ordinary people, Ye Dongqing's advantage is that he has a longer-term vision. A valuation of 600 million US dollars can shake the executives of MIH Group, and the premium is almost 50%. Even if someone bids 1 billion US dollars, he will The shares in this kind of company will not be sold, and that is the difference.

If it can be negotiated, besides the founding team, he will be the only super shareholder of Tencent, with a shareholding ratio of more than 70%, so he doesn't mind leaking some information in advance and quietly changing this The concept of the group of people allows them to see the "dazzling stars" in the future. Ye Dongqing hopes that this group of people can develop according to their own ideas, and based on Tencent's existing large user group, expand a second company independent of Silicon Valley. Internet empire.

If this kind of idea becomes a reality, Ye Dongqing thinks that he will probably be able to leave a strong mark in history because of this. As for how much book wealth he will have at that time, it is currently impossible to estimate it. Anyway, it is so much that he himself does not Dare to think.

In order to avoid being regarded as a lunatic by others, he can only secretly enjoy this kind of thing. Boni is considering what Ye Dongqing said. He has to admit that Ye Dongqing does see farther on these issues. The original small goal It has been overturned with many calls, and a larger business landscape has been created in my heart. Trying to enter the online shopping mall business is a proof.

  If Ye Dongqing hadn’t asked him to visit Amazon’s headquarters in Seattle, this guy wouldn’t have had the idea of ​​tinkering with the online shopping mall himself, and even poached Alibaba’s executives in an attempt to get more inspiration from the newly established Taobao.com.

At this time, Poney suddenly had an urge to create a Chinese version of Facebook, because he knew that young people who use QQ now will eventually grow up. If he does not plan ahead and grasp this market, he will be replaced by other companies in the future. Lose.

Just like what Ye Dongqing said about America Online, it went into decline under the impact of Facebook. To be precise, it didn’t work before. Ye Dongqing was the last straw that crushed it. After the main business was replaced, even There is no hope of turning around. Originally, Microsoft was still a little interested in acquiring America Online, which was about to go bankrupt.

He clapped his hands to attract attention, and said in his mouth: "Okay! This project is also on the agenda. When it is ready, we will develop a social product for adults. There is no QQ show, no hierarchy, etc., just like Facebook. Just rely on advertising to make money..."
