Chapter 2： [Luo Sheng's Internet Thinking]

"What? Start a company? Or the Internet?"

Xu Yong showed an exaggerated expression, thinking whether he heard it wrong. When he saw Luo Sheng's serious expression, he was sure he did not hear it wrong, but he said helplessly: "Dude, how long has the Internet bubble burst? How many Internet companies have died? Aren't you You know? Even if you want to start a company, you can't find a way out, right? "

In the past month, Luo Sheng has done a lot of research on the current development pattern of the Internet. He has made several copies of statistics alone, and then immediately analyzed: "The Internet was first born in North America. At present, global Internet users, according to my The data of the global standard company [Nielsen NetRatings], which has been consulted, shows that in the 2002 Global Internet Trends Report, in the fourth quarter of 2002, the number of users worldwide who can use the Internet on home computers increased to 580 million People, industry insiders estimate that the current global netizens have broken 600 million. "

"Taking the Asia-Pacific region as an example, Internet users are experiencing an inflated skyrocketing. According to the estimates of the Yankee Group, by 2005, the number of Internet population in the Asia-Pacific region will increase from 55 million in 2000 to 192 million. The average annual growth rate has reached about 28%, and China's demographic dividend is exploding, and it will soon become the largest single regional market for global Internet users in the near future. "

Xu Xuyong heard it, looked at him with surprise, could not help but ridicule: "Oh, these data come in handy, it seems that you have done a lot of research. Somehow there is a kind of meaning overlooking the Internet of mountains and rivers."

Luo Sheng smiled, and then continued to bluntly: "I think the Internet 1.0 era is almost ended with the United States Napster, this company is the originator of P2P. Then the social media era was born during the Internet bubble last year. Napster Although it is music sharing, it is the beginning of social networks. In my opinion, the Internet bubble is a breakthrough moment. The future of the Internet should be a fully distributed point-to-point network. Starting from this, we can overhead those large media. Companies, interconnected. "

Xu Yong: "嚯 ~~ So fierce? Overhead large media companies?"

Luo Sheng shrugged and added: "The Internet is a virtual world with infinite imagination. Before that, think of the Internet as essentially a literary metaphor of a 'webpage', and then hyperlinks to each other. What about the user. "

"This may have started in the early blogging era 2000 years ago, and websites around personal opinions have emerged. Suddenly, you can imagine that there may be another element of the Internet. Can it be organized? For example, the two of us, I trust you, I want to know what you're talking about, and this is the early blog. "

Xu Yong likes blogging, visiting the Tianya community, and thinking about nodding for a while, saying, "There are many blog links, most of which are related to the Internet. We discuss the Internet on the Internet, and then connect more networks. ... "

Luo Sheng couldn't help feeling that the current global Internet users only exceeded 600 million, and his original era was the era of highly developed Internet of Everything in the 5G era. At that time, the total number of Internet users had accumulated to 5 billion, which basically covered the entire Every corner of the world.

Now that he has arrived in 2003, it is tantamount to grasping the pulse of the times. The future road is very clear in his eyes.

After Xu Yong finished speaking, Luo Sheng looked at him and said, "Will you put different opinions together? Those opinions will recommend more links to you, which is like a kind of personal filtering. And the Internet can be as lively as parties? At those parties, you can find interesting clues, so what is a good clue? "

Luo Sheng asked and answered, "I think he can be a job, an interview, or a relationship, etc. Such a network of people will definitely bring more value than Microsoft today, because this is Being in a highly-reviewed community where everyone has some kind of close relationship and everyone has his reason here. "

Xu Yong is astonished, more valuable than Microsoft? Even with the burst of the Internet bubble, Microsoft's market capitalization is now over $ 270 billion.

Aunt, but the buddies are bragging, and after a while, Xu Yong thoughtfully said, "I'm afraid the signal-to-noise ratio here will be very high ..."

Luo Sheng snapped his fingers, nodded and proposed a new concept: "Yes, so to speak, so I call it the 2.0 era of the Internet, web2.0, a brand new era, and the new era requires new Pioneer, I am. "

Xu Yong couldn't help crying and laughing, "It sounds very flaming, but buddy, when is it now? Internet companies have declared bankruptcy every day. I don't think anyone wants to listen to you. Don't even think about getting a penny from a VC I got it, I did n’t hear the big coffee industry people say that the models that can be done on the Internet are basically done, and that ’s it. ”

Luo Luosheng said faintly: "Oh ~~, the so-called big coffees are just a little understanding of the Internet."

Xu Xuyong: "..."

Luo Sheng returned to his bed and sat down slowly, saying slowly: "You seem to make sense, this feeling seems to be the strongest last year. PayPal went public last year, and it is still the only consumer Internet company to go public. This year there are only six Companies get financing or similar endings. "

"The company in the United States is one of them. It can be said that it is the prototype of a social network. It is between the Internet and social media. It is a truly successful viral growth company. I have recently got some inspiration and pondered optimization. Diffusion development algorithms. "

"Simply put, people are using the product to spread it to others, not because people like the product and decide to spread it. Instead, people use the software to spread it to others naturally."

I heard Luo Sheng speak seriously and methodically, Xu Yong still said the point directly: "Do you really plan to start an Internet company?"

Luo Sheng glanced at him and said, "Including but not limited to this. I now have almost 370,000 funds. The minimum capital of a registered company is 100,000, which is definitely enough. But two people are needed for a registered company. I can't I'm the boss and supervisor of the company, so I want to invite you to join. "

"Well, why do you have so much money? Could it be the son of the boss of coal?" Xu Yong was stunned. He came from a peasant family. He also knows that Luo Sheng's family is richer than him, but it is too rich. It's money.

"You don't need to worry about where the money comes from, anyway, it's legal." Luo Sheng said.

"In the end, people in the city." Xu Yong said with emotion.

Luo Sheng sat up straight and looked at Xu Yong, saying seriously: "You do n’t need to raise money to start a business. You just join me and become one of the co-founders. I will give you 10% of the shares as technology shares. How about a partner? "

Xu Yong thought and nodded. Even if he agreed, he laughed: "Well, brother, if I don't agree, most of your company will not be able to get it up in one and a half, UU reading only me in the school Willing to play with you. "

Luo Luosheng shook his head helplessly and laughed. The cheap buddy said he couldn't refute him for a while, and now he was counting on him to help the tower perform. If Xu Yong was unwilling, finding a partner would be a hassle.

Uh ...

(Ps: Shares may be a poison point for some readers. By the way, this book's course is a reading guide.

This is the first company created by the protagonist, focusing on the Internet field, to be listed; there is a second company behind, focusing on the hardware field, not to be listed.

Zhao Ling has already written a basic black science and technology article, and he also wants to write something new. This time, he chose to follow the route of IPO financing and listing. The protagonist founded the first company, got the financing and finally realized the IPO. Wear, instead of getting super gold fingers like alien civilization, there is no black plug-in, after all, the story line not only follows the IPO line, the background is also in the 2003 era.

This time, Zhao Ling wanted to bring a story for everyone. Through the protagonist, he showed the story of how a technology company went from the initial stage to the global multinational technology giant that monopolized the world. It chose one of the companies to follow the IPO route and start the story. In order to show more rigorously how a multinational giant grows step by step.

So taking the IPO listing route will definitely carry out Duolun financing, and the main company's first company's shares will be continuously diluted in the financing process.

In short, for some readers who are obsessed with the protagonist must be 100% controlled, you should understand here whether this book is suitable for further reading.

Finally, I would like to recommend tickets, collections, and investment. The new book urgently needs these three indicators. This book is definitely more exciting, so stay tuned. )
