Hollywood starts with animation

Weiss, Vardy, Goldfinger.

Through a simple dialogue and self-introduction, Zhuke confirmed the names of the three of them. The three of them had just completed their military service and retired in Israel, and learned that the exchange activities in Silicon Valley had specially flown to the United States.

As early as a few months ago, they had the idea of ​​creating icq.

They found that the e-mail box on the Internet is often filled with unimportant information, making some very important information submerged without timely feedback and response, so they decided to invent a faster and more direct Software that transmits information.

In this way, the world's first chat software icq was born!

Even Dahuaxia’s qq was created by imitating qicq.However, qicq is a pirated version of icq.

A certain coffee shop.

"Three, can I take the liberty to ask about the approximate development progress of your icq software? Of course, if it is a trade secret, you don't need to answer." Zhu Ke said.

Wisger, Vardy and Goldfinger looked at each other.

"Mr. Wald, there is nothing hard to say, because we have just completed our military service and currently only completed the preliminary work of icq. When we return to Israel, we will begin formal R&D and programming."

The creators of the three icqs are not idlers.

Especially Visg!

After Visger succeeded in the icq project, it has successively invested in more than 80 Internet companies, and 5 companies have been successfully listed. In the future, it will be a billionaire with a wealth of billions of dollars.

He is smart!

In other words, people who can succeed, without coincidence, are smart people!The reason why he was willing to speak out was because he saw that Zhu Ke was interested and had investment intentions.

"Three, if possible, I am willing to invest in three icq projects." Zhu Ke said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, the three of Weisge were immediately ecstatic.

"Great, our project can start right away."

"Yes, Wiesg. We will succeed soon."

.......

Among the three, Vardy and Goldfinger were so excited on the spot that they all thought about it.

Wesger looked at Zucker and said solemnly: "Mr. Wald, we thank you for your importance, and we are also willing to accept your investment, but there is a prerequisite. In angel investment, I, Vardy and Goldfinger three As the founding team, we need a controlling stake in icq."

"No! No~!"

Zhu Ke shook his head on the spot: "Three, you are the founding team. There is no doubt about that, but I am a real US dollar. In the first round of angel investment, I took the lead in icq, which is my right and interest. ."

"Mr. Wald, we cannot accept this."

Wesg vetoed it.

In the ensuing time, Zucker and Wisger discussed the dominance of icq.As for the other two creators of icq, they did not have the shrewdness of Visg, and they watched the whole process and acted as a crowd.

During the argument, Zhu Ke didn't think about setting aside the three of them and forming a team to develop icq.

but.

These three guys, or Visger is too damned, the reason why this guy opened his mouth and told Zhuke because he was sure to let Zhuke compromise.As early as their first step into the United States, they contacted attorneys to apply for icq's patent.

(The United States is so fucking sometimes. Not only can the developed technology be registered for patents, but even technical ideas can be registered for patents.)

Wesg, with the patent in hand, completely blocked Zhuke's copycat road.

Of course, Zhuke is actually not afraid of this.

Isn't it just a lawsuit? Now living in the United States is still afraid of this?

However, being afraid is a problem, and Zhu Ke does not have this time, or not enough energy is another problem.The most important thing is that Zhu Ke can use qq and icq is correct, but he does not understand how to develop!Even if you find a group of professional IT workers to program, but when the development is completed, the three people of Weisge may have already listed icq.

Compromised!

That's right, Zhuke has no bottom line!

"Well, you persuaded me." Zhu Ke said.

"Thank you, Mr. Wald, I am sure we will never disappoint you."

In the morning of the next day, Zhu Ke and Wei Ge completed the signing of the investment contract under the witness of the lawyer.

Zhu Ke invested 400,000 US dollars and occupies 40% of the shares in the icq project. In the subsequent round A, B and C rounds of investment, Zhu Ke also has the priority to continue to invest.

"Weige, the company's office location, I don't think it should be set up in Israel. You have to know that Silicon Valley is the center of the Internet in the world today." Zhu Ke suggested.

As far as the location of the company is concerned, the three readily accepted Zhu Ke's suggestion.

After all, Zhu Ke is a man in a building on the outskirts of Silicon Valley, renting them one floor, there is no problem at all.

rent?

That's right, just rent!

One thing belongs to one thing, and it must not be confused. This is in line with the laws of business and is Zucker's principle.

After the three of Weisge left, as Zhu Ke’s personal lawyer, Zhang Wei said: "Boss, 400,000 dollars is nothing to you, but do you really think it can be successful?"

"Haha." Zhu Ke smiled mysteriously.

Is the Icq project successful?

Counting success, not counting success!

Once this software was launched, it immediately responded to the world. With unprecedented creativity, it soon had a large number of users all over the world in just six months. Even in Asia where the Internet was not well developed at that time, the market users accounted for To 70%, it accounted for 80% in the Great Heavenly Dynasty.

In 1998, AOL (America Online) acquired icq at a high price of US$407 million at the time.

In this regard, icq is successful.You know at the time, Tencent's Xiaoma had not founded Penguin.

However, if icq is not considered a success, it is indeed not considered a success.

Because it did not achieve the expected profit!

During its development, due to multiple decision-making failures, it was not on the right path, and it did not make effective use of its huge number of users to achieve the egging of related industries, such as games and film and television.At the same time, it has not developed a non-English version of icq.

This is particularly deadly!

As a result, many non-English speaking countries have derived a large number of native language versions of chat software. For example, Da Tian Dynasty was born QQ.

(Actually, even if icq develops a Chinese version, it will not be able to occupy the market of the Great Heaven. From 2020, whether it is Amazon or Google, which one is not famous, is it not the Great Heaven? )

In 2010, AOL sold icq to the Russian investment company DST for US$187.5 million.

"Successful investment in icq is nothing short of beautiful!"

Zhuke couldn't help being in a good mood, and wanted to participate more in such activities in the future.
