Global monopoly of technology

Xu Yong couldn't help being stunned for a while when he heard Luo Sheng's words, his reaction was slow for a while, and he returned to his senses and looked at each other in amazement: "Wait, buddy, what did you just say? Register the company? You..."

Luo Sheng definitely said: "I have decided to start a serious business and start an Internet company from today."

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

Xu Yong suddenly showed an exaggerated expression, wondering if he had heard it wrong, and seeing Luo Sheng's very serious expression, he was sure that he had heard it correctly.

"Man, you don’t know how long the Internet bubble has burst, and how many Internet companies have died. Even if you want to start a company, you can’t find a dead end. You finally made a fortune. Why are you eager to throw it away? Doesn't make sense?"

In the past month, Luo Sheng has done a lot of research on the current Internet development pattern and made several statistics.

Luo Sheng methodically said: "The Internet was first born in North America. Currently, Internet users around the world. According to Nielsen NetRatings, a company that is the global standard for Internet user statistics and analysis, the 2002 Global Internet Trend Report showed that the world can The number of Internet users on home computers has increased to 580 million, and industry insiders estimate that the current global Internet users have exceeded 600 million."

"Especially taking the Asia-Pacific region as an example, netizens have shown an expansive skyrocket. According to Yankee Group’s estimates, by 2005, the number of Internet populations 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 my country’s demographic dividend is exploding, and it will soon become the largest single regional market for Internet users in the world in the near future."

"It seems that you have done a lot of research." Xu Yong said as soon as he heard it. After a while, he spread his hands again: "But what about that?"

Luo Sheng smiled, and then continued to talk and talk: "I think the Internet 1.0 era almost ended with the Napster website in North America, and then the social media era was born during the Internet bubble last year. Napster is the beginning of social networking, in my opinion After the Internet bubble is a breakthrough moment, the future of the Internet should be a completely distributed peer-to-peer network, from which we can take the large media companies and interconnect them."

Xu Yong stared at him blankly: "Oh~~ so fierce? Overhead a large media company?"

Luo Sheng shrugged and added: "The Internet has a world of endless imagination. Think about it before that, the Internet was essentially equivalent to the literary metaphor of'web pages', and then hyperlinks between each other. At that time, there was no concept of users. Well. This may have started in the early blog era 2000 years ago, and websites around personal opinions continued to appear.

After a pause, Luo Sheng continued: "Suddenly, you can imagine that maybe the Internet should have another element, can it be organized? For example, we two, I trust you, I want to know what you are talking about. This is the early blog."

Xu Yong likes blogging. He thought about it for a while and nodded his head, saying: "It makes sense. There are many blog links. Most of them are related to the Internet. We discuss the Internet on the Internet, and then connect to more networks. ..."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but sigh. There are only over 600 million Internet users worldwide now. He used to live in an era of highly developed Internet of Everything. Almost everything can be digitized. At that time, the total number of Internet users has accumulated to 50. Billion, basically covering every corner of the world.

Now in 2003, it is equivalent to grasping the pulse of the times, and the road to the future is extremely clear in his eyes.

Hearing what Xu Yong said just now, Luo Sheng watched him follow his train of thought and said: "Will you put different opinions together? And those opinions will recommend more links to you, which is like one Kind of personal filter, and the Internet can be as lively as a party? In those parties, you can find interesting clues, then what is a good clue? I think it can be a job, it can be an interview, or it can be love Etc., etc."

"Such a network of people can certainly bring more value than Yahoo, because this is a highly censored community, where everyone has a certain close relationship, and everyone here has His reason."

Xu Yong was shocked, more valuable than Yahoo?This is the most famous Internet portal giant in the world today.

After a while, Xu Yong didn't entangle this, but thought, and said thoughtfully: "Then the signal-to-noise ratio here might be very high..."

Luo Sheng snapped his fingers and nodded: "Yes, you can say the same, so I call it the 2.0 era of the Internet, a brand new era, and the new era requires new pioneers, and I am."

"Here again, I found that you have recently changed your personality. You are always subverting and changing your lips." Xu Yong spread his hands with a helpless expression, and said: "Although it sounds very burning, buddy, now When is it? Internet companies declare bankruptcy every day. I don’t think anyone wants to listen to you. You don’t want to get a penny from venture capital companies. Didn’t you hear from the big names in the industry? Basically all the models that can be done have been done, and that's it."

Luo Sheng said lightly: "Heh~~, those so-called big coffees just know a little bit about the Internet."

Xu Yong: "..."

Luo Sheng returned to his bed and sat down, and said to himself: "What you said seems reasonable. This feeling seems to be the strongest last year. PayPal was listed last year and was the only consumer Internet company to go public. According to a data, only six companies have received financing or similar endings this year."

“Plaxo in the United States is one of them. It can be said that it is the prototype of social networks, between the Internet and social media. Plaxo is a truly successful viral growth company. Recently, Plaxo has gained some inspiration and pondered To optimize the diffusion development algorithm."

"In simple terms, people use the product and spread the product to others at the same time. It is not because people like the product that they decide to spread it, but because people naturally spread the promotion to other people while using the software."

Hearing Luo Sheng's conscientious and methodical speaking, Xu Yong immediately returned to the point: "Close to the subject, are you really planning to start an Internet company?"

Luo Sheng turned his head and glanced at him, and said: "Including but not limited to this. We have almost 370,000 funds in our hands, and the minimum capital of the registered company is 100,000..."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng stood up again, looked at this cheap buddy, and said to him seriously: "You also contribute to the development of Synapse, so you also have a share of this money. I will take seven and three, and I will take 260,000 , The remaining 110,000 will go to you. I think we will start a joint venture together, without you having to pay for it, just follow me."

Hearing that Xu Yong was silent for a moment, and said with emotion: "Hey, you people in the city will be tossing, well, I agreed."

Xu Yong wanted to dissuade him, but when Luo Sheng insisted on deciding to do this, he readily agreed.

"What's the company name? Have you thought about it?"

"Bluestar Technology!" Luo Sheng had already thought about it, and immediately added: "Before registering the company, the top-level design is finalized, that is, the company's equity structure."

Xu Yong: "What method is used?"

Luo Sheng: "The AB share system is adopted so that even if VC financing is obtained in the future, the equity is diluted, it can ensure that the control of the company is absolutely in the hands of the founder team."
