Paul Allen left the next day, reportedly citing physical discomfort. After a while, Microsoft will send someone else over, and Paul Allen won't come again anyway.
It is said that in the morning, Paul Allen ate breakfast for three people, which attracted many people's attention. They all lamented that super rich people don't have much to eat when they eat. Well, maybe Americans have never seen us. Hanamaki and millet porridge.
Kirilenko and the Fu brothers went to Lisboa to play, while Feng Yu went to the capital. Sun Lijie told Feng Yu that another person the company was focusing on came to attract venture capital, but the same amount of funds was not as high as the amount given. Negotiate.
If Feng Yu hadn't said hello, then Sun Lijie would definitely have lowered the price. But now, Sun Lijie is afraid that if the pressure is severe, what will happen if the other party finds another venture capital
Feng Yu asked who it was. After hearing Sun Lijie say that name, he immediately said, wait until I get to the capital and talk to that pony in person.
It is said that Xiao Ma is compared with another outstanding person named Ma. In fact, this Xiao Ma is also older than Feng Yu.
Feng Yu saw this company's product, an instant messaging software, in an Internet cafe. Feng Yu also registered a six-digit account.
The reason why it is six figures at this time may be that they never thought that the number of users of this software would exceed 10 million.
When they arrived in the capital, Feng Yu and Sun Lijie learned about each other's requirements. Speaking of which, this requirement is indeed very demanding. They asked for a lot of venture capital but gave very few shares. They even excluded Taihua Consulting Company from participating in the company's management.
That afternoon, Xiao Ma came to Taihua Consulting Company again and heard that the legendary rich man Feng Yu was here and wanted to talk to him in person.
When the two met, they both lamented how young the other was. This pony was still less than thirty at this time, much younger than what Feng Yu had seen from the Internet in his previous life.
"Mr. Ma, I am Feng Yu."
"Hello, Mr. Feng." Although Xiao Ma's tone showed respect for Feng Yu, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his whole person revealed a strong sense of confidence, which Feng Yu admired very much.
"Mr. Ma, I've learned about your company. It's a network paging station, right?"
"Not only that, we also make gsm short messages, IP phone calls and online instant messaging software." Xiao Ma added.
"Then what do you think of the paging business? How many years do you think it can continue to be popular?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
"Mr. Feng's company has already transformed from pagers to producing mobile phones this year. Why do you need to ask me?"
"Oh? You know my company very well."
"I don't know much about them, but those who work in this industry should always know more about the leading companies in the industry." Xiao Ma's eyes were a little proud.
"Then you want venture capital because you don't want to develop the paging business?"
"Of course not. We are more optimistic about online instant messaging software and mobile phone short messages. Among them, online instant messaging software, we think, has more development. Because computers are developing faster and faster, and their penetration rate is getting higher and higher. This year's model Legendary games have made more people want or have bought computers. With the development of computers, the development of the Internet is getting better and better. I think the Internet will definitely become an important thing in people's lives in the future, or for many people Something essential.”
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows. Xiao Ma's analysis of the future was very accurate. No wonder he had such good development in his previous life. In the previous life, Penguin Company had been expanding its business but never shrinking it, which shows how successful the business was.
Of course, the core is this instant messaging software.
"So how do your products make money?" Feng Yu asked.
"We are not profitable yet. We are in the expansion period. We need to continue to invest in grabbing users and advertising in Internet cafes and computer malls. Moreover, we also have to compete with software such as icq. That software is free at this time. But I We will launch some value-added services, and we will definitely be able to earn back our investment several times.”
Feng Yu took a look and found that Co-author Xiaoma and the others had not yet figured out how to make money, but they saw the development prospects of this software, which could at least capture users.
With loyal users, are profits still far behind
"What are the value-added services?" Feng Yu asked in detail.
"For example, advertising, search, etc., these can bring profits to the company. The most important thing is that we have mastered the user group, which is unparalleled value."
"Then have you thought about the future development direction of the company?"
"Using the instant messaging software OQ as the main body, we will make various possible attempts. No matter which one, as long as our user group is large enough, we will definitely make money. So now we are trying to develop OQ and win more users. "
Feng Yu said with a smile: "I'm a little interested in your company, but it's not enough for you to just advertise in Internet cafes and computer malls. I have a good way to double your user base quickly, but there will be some problems. Bullshit. If your software isn’t good enough, users will disappear quickly.”
"Does Mr. Feng have any magical method?"
"I am still a shareholder of Lianxiang Group. I can install your oq instant messaging software on Lianxiang computers. In this way, every new user who buys Lianxiang computers will have a high chance of registering your software out of curiosity. As for I can’t guarantee how much you can keep.”
"Great, in this way, our user base will definitely increase rapidly. Now we have 460,000 users, so we hope to exceed one million or even more this year."
"Do you know the legendary game?" Feng Yu asked again.
"I know, many people in our company, including me, are also playing it. I heard that this game was also invested and developed by Mr. Feng?" Xiao Ma replied.
"The number of registered users of this game in China now exceeds nine million, and it is still increasing. Do you think it will be very effective if I advertise your oq software on our login page?"
"Thank you very much. Those who play online games are those who have high Internet usage. They are very suitable users for us."
"We also have shares in companies such as Xinlang, Wangyi, and Luohu. We can also advertise your products and even set up a download link."
"Look, it's much easier for me to promote it than it is for you to promote it, and it's more likely to succeed. I can even let companies like Wangyi develop this kind of instant messaging software themselves. With my financial advantage, I can do the opposite. Get ahead of you, even if your product is a year ahead of ours.”
Xiao Ma's face became increasingly ugly. Yes, if Feng Yu let those three Internet giants do instant messaging, they would indeed have an advantage over him.
"But I still plan to invest in your company. But we have to talk about the conditions. I will inject capital into your company, not venture capital without voting rights. But I will not interfere in the management of your company, even It can give your company a lot of help, which no one else can do.”
Xiao Ma was silent. Should the company he founded allow others to become the majority shareholder
