Chapter 756: pony

Sohu went public after National Day.
Three months ago, China Online offered 4.2 million new shares at US$20 per share, which rose to 60 at the opening.
Sohu’s 4.5 million shares, at US$18 per share, rose to 40 at the opening and exceeded US$50 a few days later...
The news went back to China and did not attract large-scale attention. In an era when most people didn't even understand the Internet, they were not expected to study an Internet company.
Only published in professional newspapers, the industry has caused a lot of waves.
China.com is leading the charge, and Sohu is following closely, which seems to herald the spring of the domestic Internet.
In 1999, there were eleven online companies with a reputation in China: Ali, Dangdang, Ctrip, Shanda, eBay, Tianya Community, ChinaRen, etc.
They were all trend-makers at the time. Later, some died, some were acquired, some became bigwigs, some grabbed the official seal... At this moment, all of them follow the example of Zhonghua and Sohu, especially Zhang Chaoyang.
This product comes with the entertainment industry temperament, it is easy to attract people, it can be called an industry idol, a leader!
As for Times Venture Capital, which is a major shareholder, it continues to keep a low profile silently. After Boss Xu realized that he couldn't manage the cash, he has always felt like water.
"Old Zhang, congratulations!"
In the company, Xu Fei hugged Zhang Huli, who had just returned from the United States, and smiled: "With the current market value, the net worth is over 100 million yuan."
"Hey, it can't compare to you."
Zhang Huli is not humble either, because he is familiar with him and knows the details of the other party. He only said: "Suddenly like a dream, I was pushed to this position overnight. Looking around, they are all at the foot of the mountain.
It was quite annoying. I just came back and received more than a dozen people who asked me to speak. "
"Ha, what are your plans for the next step?"
"I……"
In total, he had no plans, but those businesses, and asked, "What do you think?"
"Two!"
Xu Fei simply breaks and breaks: "First, a new website called ChinaRen has emerged. It is probably the alumni record, which can be understood as a virtual campus community.
Second, a new thing called blog appeared abroad. "
"Blog?"
Zhang Fox thought for a while and said, "You said weblog?"
"Yes, the name is changed now. I plan to introduce China, called blog."
"This thing is an online diary, but it can be introduced and integrated with the community." Zhang Huli said.
"Yes, ChinaRen is also a good addition. We look for opportunities to acquire it and build the world's largest Chinese virtual community."
Blog, introduced to China in 2002, there is a website "Blog China".
At first, there was no splash, but later a female writer became famous in the first battle. She wrote a diary and recorded a one-night stand with a rock musician.
The story uses line drawing to show the details, like a small pornographic film, which makes countless judges hooked.
This woman is called Mu Zimei.
This musician is called Wang Lei.
After being exposed, the musicians angrily said, "It's so immoral!"
"Next year, we will launch a blog function, which must be humanized."
"How is it humanized?"
"Simple, give the author three choices: you can see yourself, your friends can see, and all you can see is OK."

Shencheng, Huaqiangbei SEG Science and Technology Park.
In an office on the fourth floor of the second building, there are probably the most anxious young people in the city. They hold a software with nearly one million users, but worry about adding another server.
The young man at the head is very thin, from an ordinary family, looks ordinary, but much better than the old horse.
He was nervous about the upcoming guests, and he was a little bit weird.
This company was established last year and opened OICQ in February this year. The original plan was to develop 1,000 users in the first year, 3,000-4,000 in the second year, and 10,000 in the third year.
The result immediately broke a million!
The huge number of users brought huge operating costs. A group of people went everywhere to receive and subsidize their families, and their wages were cut in half.
At this moment, the news of Sohu’s listing came, dazzling.
As the boss, Pony Ma, anxiously sent news to Times Venture Capital. He didn't expect the other party to be extremely efficient, so he will come to investigate today.
"Are you Mr. Ma? Hello!"
"Hello!"
When he saw someone coming, Brother Xiao Ma suddenly stopped being nervous and greeted him politely.
"You must know ICQ. Although it has the largest number of users in the world, it is a foreign software after all, not localized enough, and its support for Chinese is not very friendly.
We are different. First, we moved the user information and friend list to the backend server. When ICQ changes a computer, there is no information. OICQ avoids this problem.
Our compressed package is only 220kb and can be downloaded in one minute.
Support 163 and 169 number access, ICQ only supports 163.
We integrate the functions of chat room, person-to-person, and point-to-point file transfer. And users can receive offline messages and leave messages to the BP..."
Little Ma Balabala gave an introduction, and the visitors were not moved.
The rise of OICQ is said to have benefited from this year’s National Day.
During the National Day, the Internet was blocked, and netizens could not log in to ICQ. They looked for alternatives, so they found OICQ and successfully retained a large number of users.
After Xiao Ma finished speaking, let him look at the data on the server and the user growth curve. Now there are tens of thousands of new users every day, and it will be over a million next month.
"..."
The visitor nodded, expressing his approval, and finally asked: "Then how do you make a profit?"
Huh!
Pony Ma was instantly embarrassed and could not answer: "We, we are exploring some new profit models."
"Well, I know the basics and I need to study it."
"Thank you for coming in person."
Xiao Ma sent the guests out, went back to the house and faced a group of entrepreneurial partners. I have also looked for an offer before, but I heard that they couldn't make a profit, so I was not interested.
The venture capitalist is just a habitual negotiation skill. In fact, they have been asked by the boss long ago, and they know it well.
Historically, IDG and Yingke, a subsidiary of Li Cucumber, each injected US$1.1 million in capital and each received a 20% stake in Penguin. When the bubble burst next year, Xiao Ma peddled around again, and only waited for the South African company MIH in 2001.
MIH first used 20 million US dollars to get 32.8% of the shares, and then purchased from IDG and Yingke. IDG transferred 13% and left 7%. When I bought it, I spent 1.1 million and sold 10 million. I feel pretty happy...
The IDG has not come yet, and the times have come first.
A few days later, the two sides agreed, Time Wind invested 2.2 million US dollars, and got 40% directly.
…………
National Day is indeed the most special day.
Everything has to be postponed a little bit, it seems that as soon as the National Day is over, eh, everything is back to normal, and even what this chapter says can be posted.
Undercurrents in the film industry are surging. In May, the introduction of films was banned. For almost half a year, provincial companies could no longer support it. Endure before National Day, this will finally erupt.
"Old Wu Old Wu!"
"Old Han, you can't help but say something nice."
The office of China Film Group, representatives from various places, including the boss of the Beijing New Film Federation, surrounded the two groups.
With tears, both soft and hard.
"It really doesn't work!"
"Can't hold it!"
"We understand national policies, but should we be considerate and considerate? The 500,000 film army can't skip meals!"
"It's not just to tell you. We will have to go to the radio and television station and talk to Leader Tian in person! It has been more than 5 months. If it is time to lift the ban, please lift the ban!"
