My Age of Investment

  Chapter 191 Strategic Nuclear Weapons?

  An old Facebook employee began to be granted options. Their agitated heart gradually calmed down.

  The company has not forgotten their old people who have made meritorious service and sweat.

  Not only the ranks and salaries of E5 and E6 employees have been improved a lot.

  Now, real options are also available.

  If this is still dissatisfied with the company, it is indeed a bit unreasonable.

Xia Jingxing asked Finance to rent the third floor of the building where the company was located. In addition to part of it being used as an office area, it also opened up a fitness area and a leisure area, and added a lot of fitness equipment, game consoles, coffee machines, snacks, and beverages. It's even more manageable.

  Employees want to work out, or play games or drink coffee. There are also places.

  Improve employee welfare with one hand, and insert middle-level management from outside with the other.

  Under the carrot and stick approach, the dissatisfaction of the old Facebook employees is gradually calmed down.

  Originally, the company is not big, and the establishment time is not long. There are not so many hilltops and veterans.

Except for a few founders, the oldest experienced are just a few interns and a few programmers from the Evans team. The rest of the self-proclaimed "veterans" are only half a year earlier than the recent new recruits. time.

  …………

  …………

  The little dog knocked on the door and walked into Xia Jingxing’s office, and said with a black face: "Boss, there are two bad news, which one do you hear first?"

  Xia Jingxing almost thought that she had heard it wrong, and immediately realized that the little dog was pretending to be forced again, "Then let me listen to it not so bad!"

  The little dog said: “The not so bad news is that a website called “Faceclub.com” appeared on the east coast, referred to as F agency.

  This website, like us, also focuses on campus social networking.

  But there are some subtle differences with us. They are mainly expanding into the high school student market, and they do social pictures, that is, picture sharing, comments, scoring, etc., which are similar to our picture tagging function. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, expressing that she was aware of it, and then asked: "How is this website developing? Has it received investment?"

  Little dog shook his head, “I haven’t received any investment. It was founded by a few Harvard students and has entered some high schools on the East Coast. The number of users is estimated to be tens of thousands!”

   "A Harvard student?"

  Xia Jingxing counts, it wouldn’t be so coincidental, would it?

   quickly asked again: "What is the name of their founder?"

   "It's all here!"

  The little dog took out a document and read it, “Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Savelin, Dustin Moskowitz, Chris Hughes.”

  Xia Jingxing snatched the list from Little Dog and looked at it carefully.

  "Zuckerberg, sophomore at Harvard University..."

  That's right!

   is Xiao Mazi!

  Xia Jingxing's reaction is so weird to the little dog.

  Don’t you start a social networking site for high school students for a few Harvard students?

  Boss is such a fuss?

  "Any more detailed information? I want to know how they started this social networking site?"

  Xia Jingxing was very surprised just now, but she has quickly recovered her calm.

  Xiao Mazi founded a social networking site, and he is not afraid.

  Investors cut him off, don't believe that Xiao Mazi can turn around in this life.

  Little dog doesn’t know the boss’s intention to do this, a small website, as for?

  However, he knows that the boss has always been very accurate. Competitors such as Diaoyou.com and Juyou.com have been paid attention to by the boss before they have completely risen.

  Since the boss has ordered the work, he just does it.

   "There is no more information for the time being, but I can collect it right away, it won't take much time."

  There are several younger brothers under the hands of Little Dog who collect various information with him, so it is not difficult for him to collect a few student information and entrepreneurial history.

  "What's their website address? I'll take a look."

  The little dog nodded, and immediately walked to Xia Jingxing's side, operated the computer to visit the Faceclub website.

  Looking at the concise page of this website, Xia Jingxing has a sense of familiarity.

   "Little Dog, do you think their website is a bit like ours?"

  Little dog frowned, "It’s okay, it’s a bit like our early website design style.

  But you can't identify them as plagiarism, right? "

  The little dog operates the mouse, clicks this, clicks that, and at the same time introduces Xia Jingxing to the various functions of this website.

   "The website is doing well!"

  Xia Jingxing said while thinking in her heart.

  Xiao Mazi does not launch a social networking site for college students and specializes in high school students. Did you see that Facebook's share of the college market is too high to be an enemy of Facebook?

  High school student market, Xia Jingxing has not been too concerned about it, and let the flow go.

  Especially when Facebook entered the international market and opened up to all people, he even less focused on the high school student market.

  The size of the high school student market is similar to that of the college student market, but for children aged 15 or 16, the advertising value is too low to be realized.

  But if you can have more than 10 million users of high school students, it cannot be said that this is worthless.

  Xiao Mazi is not stupid. He chose a market that all social players don’t pay much attention to.

   And it doesn’t make a website like alumni list like in my previous life. Instead, I chose to use pictures as the entry point.

  The direction is good, but with so many pictures, the server resource consumption is very large, and funding is a big problem.

   "Okay, little dog, you don't need to introduce it, I almost understand it."

  Xia Jingxing thought for a while, and then said: “When investigating this company, you should focus on whether they have received investment, or if there are investors approaching them.”

  The little dog nodded, indicating that he remembered.

   "Is there any worse news?"

  Xia Jingxing remembered that the little dog had said two bad news, and hurriedly asked about another one.

  "Juyou.com's traffic in the U.S. market officially surpassed Diaoyou.com, becoming the second largest social networking site in the United States."

  The little dog thinks this is the opponent that should be focused on, and introduces Xia Jingxing in detail: "Their advertising model has begun to bear fruit. It is said that there have been hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising revenue last month.

  Furthermore, a company offered them a price of US$40 million, hoping to acquire this website.

  The two founders often haunt major nightclubs, bars, and bands, inviting musicians, models, and singers to set up homepages on Juyou.com.

  Now many beautiful girls have joined their website, and music, rock, **** photos, and hippie style have become the core atmosphere of their website. "

  Speaking of this, the little dog paused and sighed, “Boss, you’re right, we don’t even need to post some erotic/erotic photos for them, because this is their style.”

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “I’m right, we don’t need to act at all.”

   "Boss, don't laugh either, because this is not just a drawback for them, but an attraction."

  The little dog coughed, "Boss, we are so familiar with each other, and I don’t keep it from you. I often go to Juyou.com to see photos..."

  After finishing speaking, the little dog glanced at the boss, but didn't hit himself?

  Xia Jingxing nodded, “I know that, in the short term, this will become a major attraction of their website, attracting many gentlemen to go sightseeing.

  The functions of "Poke" and "Campus Dating" that we launched earlier are also sexually suggestive.

  When people are full, they will think about it all day. This is human nature.

  Social networking sites do not have this kind of tone, and they cannot attract people to register and browse.

  But in the long run, this kind of community atmosphere will inevitably lay hidden dangers for Juyou.com.

  With so many colors/crazy, will there be a few people who like sexual harassment?

  Also, they always like to engage in offline parties. There is a real safety incident, and their platform can't escape the blame. "

  The little dog suddenly realized that everything was in the hands of the boss.

  Juyou.com now looks lively, but its endurance is not enough. Sooner or later, users will "divorce" with them.

   "But now our users are losing!"

  The little dog smiled awkwardly, "Not only me, but many young men prefer to visit Juyou.com.

  If this continues, users of their website will spend much more time online than us. "

  For this, Xia Jingxing really has nothing to do.

  He said to the little dog: "In this way, you go and call Evans to me, and we begin to develop "strategic nuclear weapons."
