783. The tide of history
Although I don’t know if the result of this trip to the capital will satisfy Chen Songzhi, it is no longer the turn of Yang Yi to worry about the remaining affairs that need to be solved. Maybe he would think that Tang Fu had failed his instructions, or maybe he recognized that Su Wan exposed him as his disciple, and that was indeed human resources irreversible, but that was all his problems between the master and disciple of Chen Songzhi. Therefore, after returning to Yuezhou with Su Wan, Yang Yi had never been to Chen Songzhi at all, so as not to make this old man have some strange temper and use himself to relieve his fire.
After a brief stay at home for a day, on March 25, 2000, the boy who rarely paid attention to international news, especially international economic, trade and financial news, sat in front of the computer for the first time, refreshing the web page in front of him at a frequency of half a minute. At present, there is a port for access to the international Internet in China, and in this pioneering era, there has not yet been an invisible wall in later generations. In addition, the proficiency in English reading and writing, the only condition that Yang Yi restricts real-time tracking and understanding of Wall Street and Silicon Valley news reports is that the Internet speed of ordinary home users is now.
Sometimes, after clicking the refresh button on the web page, he often has to wait for more than a minute to see the text on the page, and it appears on the screen bit by bit. If it is a picture message, it will take longer to wait. Fortunately, what he lacks the least now is time, so after spending more than half a day, the boy is finally sure that the bubble collapse that swept the entire Internet world in his previous life finally came as scheduled. In this disaster that can almost be said to be a cold winter in the industry, countless people finally failed to get over it. Become one of the countless victims in this storm.
Of course, this sacrifice is not the companies or industrial projects themselves. It is the founders of those companies and projects. When countless venture capital funds began to tighten investment projects and funds, a considerable number of founders of IT and Internet companies had to choose a path that was to completely sell their shares and wave goodbye to those things that had put in countless hard work before, even if they had unwillingness to describe in words.
Looking at the computer screen in front of me, another news came out, which was about a software development company for graphic design applications in Silicon Valley. After failing to seek investment, the three partners chose to part ways. One of the man who made up his mind to persevere, led the company's development team to focus on the latest achievements in light and shadow rendering, and several other young people who were willing to follow him to persevere. The graphic design software main body, plus the company's database, was acquired by the Island Soft Sound Group, which is known as the father of the "Internet", and the two remaining founders were officially transformed into the company's chief technology management and vice president.
In the comments below, countless industry insiders only say that Internet companies can no longer compare with the situation six months ago when it comes to investment. Some people also complain that they have good projects and have a great prospect, but investors who do not know the goods have a stingy fund. This situation makes them very confused. In comparison, if it is a Wall Street elite who sees these comments, then even if they don’t say it, they will definitely sneer in their hearts. Looking back from history, to observe and think about the economic crisis or industry bubbles, maybe as long as young people who have not had such a little information, they can savor a few words. But when things happen, witnesses under the tide of history may not have a forward-looking vision. How can they say that the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear?
After browsing the news casually, Yang Yi shook his head and did not continue to pay attention. He only remembered the collapse of the Internet bubble. It was around the spring of 2000, but at this time most IT companies could still continue to hold on, so there were no obvious signs. In addition, the previous industry was crazy, even at this time, not many people believed that the Internet bubble had really formed and was accelerating.
But boys still have the impression that the first stock sell order that was sold should appear on the last day of the early month, that is, the 11th of this month. That day was the first trading day after the weekend. The sell orders were sold on the morning after the first trading day. After a large number of high-tech stocks such as Microsoft Dell Cisco were found to be sold, the Nasdaq index fell by four percentage points from the opening, which made countless related to the Internet and venture capital. Small and medium-sized retail investors who had purchased high-tech companies as investments were all looking at it.
So after this decline, whether it was large funds or small and medium-sized investors who followed the funds to try to drink soup, they all began to be busy liquidating. Six days later, the Nasdaq's losses reached nearly 900 points.
If you are in the camp of entrepreneurs, or investors, then boys will definitely have a headache about this Internet crisis. However, although he is also a small Internet enterprise entrepreneur, he has been familiar with the cheating ability of the historical trend, so he began to prepare for this crisis more than a year ago. Yangyi Culture Company's cash pool does not have much reserve funds, but fortunately, there are monthly publications, so whether it is Qiu Yuan, the company's manager or Ye Chuan, the head of Yangyi Network, he is not too worried about the company's capital chain.
Compared with the tens of millions of reserves in other Internet companies' accounts, although Yangyi Culture does not accept any venture capital, to be precise, Yangyi Network does not accept any venture capital, but because of the young founder of the company, he can launch a well-known and popular best-selling book every few days. So overall, Yangyi Network's cash demand can also be guaranteed, and it is nothing more than the funds needed to be paid on time every month, without giving them all from the beginning.
In addition, because Yangyi Network was not listed - in fact, it was far from meeting the actual situation of listing requirements, it was not like those Internet companies, that the stocks were sold wildly, and the entire company was panicked in the end. It was exactly the opposite of the unstable situation of many Internet companies. Because Yang Yi had explained before that he should take advantage of the current popularity of Internet companies, so he looked for as many customers as possible who were willing to pay advertising fees. Rogo and Qiu Yuan did a very good job in Yang Yi's request.
Before, when the whole world was about the arrival of the tide of informationization and the Internet concept was extremely hot, those bosses who needed to seek channels and advertise for their products also grabbed a lot of them. Many people may not even know what Internet marketing means, but they are very happy to pay for money and advertise their own companies or products on the Internet. Especially Yang Yi still holds two big killers: "Same Navigation" and "Same Search". For company bosses who need to publish advertisements, this daily visit has quietly occupied the first place in the Internet in China, and it is the navigation page of the first online platform. It is simply the "CCTV set" on the Internet. The price of the top advertising space has reached the price of 1.8 million yuan in monthly payment.
Quite awesome price, but not crazy.
Because when reaching an agreement with the first domestic computer brand, considering that Lianxiang and Liu Chuanzhi had supported each year when Yang Yi Culture was facing a crisis a year ago, they also had practical help in various hardware procurements. Moreover, the top advertising spaces of the same navigation were paid out in one go, so Yang Yi gave this price. If it were foreign super PC manufacturers such as ibm, it would be aimed at the increasingly large Chinese market and the number one navigation share in the Chinese Internet field... To be precise, this company has no other semicolons, and if you want to get the top advertising space of the same navigation main page without 2 million, you can't even think of getting it.
Even so, in addition to the advertising page at the top, there are not many seven advertising spaces left in the remaining classified content, which also brings back a total of 8.6 million advertising revenue and monthly income fees to Yangyi Culture.
With the support of these advertising costs, Qiu Yuan has never complained to Yang Yi and Rogo since last month, saying that the company's capital situation is very tight and some adjustments are needed to be made to Yang Yi Network. Of course, in the view of this Chief Financial Officer of Yang Yi Culture, if these advertising revenues can be obtained three months in advance, it would be even more perfect, rather than reaching agreements until the end of January and mid-February of this year.
Thinking of Rogo and Qiu Yuan's last advertising business, carrying a check of 450,000 yuan per month and a total of 10.8 million yuan, when they returned to Yangyi Culture, as long as the company was a senior executive who knew some of the news, they walked with the wind in those days. When they talked to their subordinates, their attitude was particularly harmonious, and the boys couldn't help but feel a little proud.
