My Age of Investment

  Chapter 84 Decision

  Xia Jingxing sighed to the sky and glanced at the old man John, “Don’t worry, I didn’t say that you will guard the campus market all your life. After all, students have to graduate too!”

  Old man John became interested, and asked with a smile: "Do you still mean to enter the market outside the campus? When?"

   "Wait a few more years until I graduate."

  The old man's face collapsed suddenly, "Wouldn't it be three years?

  Otherwise, you will graduate now.

  Waiting for your success and becoming a billionaire, I will award you an "honorary doctorate" degree. "

  Xia Jingxing laughed, is this a PY transaction?

   "Principal, you can't do this, how can you persuade students to drop out of school and start a business?"

  The old man spread out, "As competitors continue to appear, you will face more and more difficulties. You must have enough energy to deal with these increasingly complex tasks."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "I know this, trust me, I can handle all this properly."

  Old man John nodded, stopped talking about this, and continued to ask about the release of registration restrictions.

  Xia Jingxing explained to him patiently, “The campus market is currently our main market and our advantage market.

  There is an old saying in China called "strengthening strengths and avoiding weaknesses". I wonder if you have heard of Mr. Hennessy? "

  The old man John smiled, "Promote your own strengths and avoid your own shortcomings, this sentence is interesting!"

   Andrew tapped his fingers on the desktop, "Let me just say a few words!"

  Xia Jingxing and Old Man John stopped arguing and looked at him together.

   "I support Darren's point of view!"

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Andrew with admiration, this fat man has eyesight.

   "Andrew, you have to think clearly, if Facebook does not attack now, there may not necessarily be a chance in the future?"

  Old man John also has his own considerations. As Xia Jingxing said, social networking is a winner-takes-all track.

Dating networks such as    have several times or even ten times the number of users of Facebook, and Facebook has become passive.

  Andrew said with a smile: “Several of their founders are all students, and they clearly understand the campus market and student needs better.

  If you let them relax the registration restrictions, will the existing student users be dissatisfied?

  Just a few of their founders, it is very likely that they have become mediocre because of the unknown and unfamiliar market.

   Facebook loses its own characteristics, which is equivalent to giving up its own advantages and competing with Diaoyou.com at the same level. "

   "You can't just watch the dating network cannibalize the social market step by step, right?"

  Old man John frowned, "But we can't do anything."

   "We can do it!"

  Xia Jingxing took up the conversation and said, “We will accelerate the coverage of the campus market. Once the coverage is completed, we will release the registration restrictions and fight the bayonet with Diaoyou.com.”

   "How long does it take to occupy the student market?" Old John asked.

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "It's hard to say, it will take one year as fast as possible, and two or three years as slow as possible."

"too long!"

  The old man sighed, “I also know the advantages of occupying the campus market first and being invincible.

   But by doing so, it is very likely that you will permanently lose your chance to be the number one in the social industry. "

  Seeing that everyone was silent, Old Man John explained again: “Don’t think I’m exaggerating the facts. Social networking sites are a brand-new Internet model.

  Daoyou.com is only the second one to emerge, and there may be a third, fourth...

  If you want to win, you must run faster than everyone else. "

  "Mr. Hennessy, what you are talking about is a sprint. Entrepreneurship is not about a momentary outbreak, it is more like a marathon. A temporary lead doesn’t mean anything. It tests endurance and stable performance."

  Xia Jingxing understands the worries of old man John. After all, Facebook is the first social networking site. It is a normal requirement for the old man to want Facebook to lead the way.

  However, at the moment he will not give up the campus market and run to meet his opponent bayonet.

  Worthy development is king!

  Is it bad to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?

  Old man John is still a little dissatisfied.

  If Facebook develops slowly, he won’t have so much trouble, just don’t hesitate, just toss about it, and it’s only two hundred and fifty thousand at a loss.

  But Facebook has developed quite well.

  Because of this, his expectations are constantly increasing.

   "Otherwise, Andrew and I will invest another sum, and we will recruit a group of employees to make a social product specifically for markets other than college students."

  Xia Jingxing sighed and did not speak. This old man was too stubborn. He couldn't do anything but made a living.

  He looks at Andrew, wanting to see what the other person thinks.

   "It's not necessary, Mr. Hennessy."

   Andrew smiled and persuaded, “Isn’t that Amazon store going to officially open?

   Waiting for Facebook’s T-shirts to appear in all corners of American campuses, our battle in the campus market should be stabilized.

  At that time, depending on the development of this dating network, formulate the next strategy. "

  Old man John didn’t answer, he looked at Xia Jingxing, and asked, “Dalun, how long will it take for those T-shirts to fill the campus?”

  "The first batch of T-shirts was only 100,000 pieces, while the number of American college students was 16 million. How can they sell millions of pieces to cover the campus, right?"

  Xia Jingxing thought for a while and said: "I guess it will take at least half a year to reach this goal."

  Old man John lowered his head and pinched his eyebrows. The time was still a little too long, and it was hard to say that there was no accident in the middle.

   Regardless of whether it is not sold or sold, the advertising effect has not been achieved;

  It is still said that the number of users of Dating.com surpasses that of Facebook;

   are unbearable consequences.

  Old man John took a deep breath and calmed himself down as much as possible.

  After a moment, after calming his head, the old man John said: "Dalun, think about it again, and don't answer me in a hurry.

  During this period, several of us have also paid close attention to the development of Diaoyou.com.

  If their development is not ideal, we will slow down.

  If the development is rapid, we must take action. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled wryly.

  A wise man must have a mistake if he is thinking about it.

  He felt that sometimes Old John was too smart and too ambitious.

  After a few people chatted in the meeting room for more than an hour, the foreign girl hurriedly arrived.

"Did something happen?"

  As soon as she entered the meeting room, the girl asked eagerly.

  Xia Jingxing showed her the website of Diaoyou.com, and briefly introduced the situation of the opponent and the topics discussed by several of them.

  After listening, the babes frowned.

  As one of the three founders of Facebook, she has put this career in a very high position in her heart since she has been running Facebook for more than half a year, and she is very eager to succeed!

   Now there is a difficult opponent, and the target market is bigger than Facebook, making her a little anxious to get angry.

  Principal John’s idea is to follow up immediately and never leave any chance for the opponent to grow.

  Dylan’s opinion is to consolidate the campus market first, and then seek a larger market.

   Each has its own reason, so she doesn't know which side to support.

  She secretly looked at Xia Jingxing, who did not squint and gave her no hint.

  "Let’s consolidate the campus market first. At present, all our preparations are for the campus market and we cannot give up halfway."

  The foreign girl also quickly made a decision, and she believed that Darren would not let her down.

  The little dog also nodded, "Yes, we and Diaoyou.com will do our own thing first, let time decide the future!"

  Old man John smiled bitterly, four votes to one vote, which made it difficult for him to insist on his opinions.

   "Okay, you are the founders, and I respect your opinions."

  Old man John did not want to create a gap because of this, so he chose to back down.

  In fact, he only has the right to suggest, but not the right to control and the highest decision-making power.
