Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

At this time, the Internet industry itself was a new one, and in the Internet industry, browsers came first, then portals, then anti-virus software, and then e-commerce.

To be honest, this communication software, when each company is engaged in its own main business, if it is developed casually, it will not be ranked at all.

It was under this circumstance that in September 2001, Jiang Xiaobai quietly acquired 40% of Penguin's shares and became Penguin's largest individual shareholder.

On the afternoon of the day when the acquisition was completed, Penguin's internal shareholders' meeting was held. At this time, Penguin's internal shareholders' meeting was still very simple. Apart from Xiao Ma, their entrepreneurial team was Jiang Xiaobai.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just a brief introduction to the entrepreneurial team. As for the re-election of the board of directors, Jiang Xiaobai did not mention it, and there is no need for it now.

Let’s wait until the Internet winter is over and Penguin has found a profitable direction.

During dinner in the evening, Brother Ma invited Jiang Xiaobai to visit the company tomorrow, and he also reported on the current situation of the company.

However, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and refused: "I will go back early tomorrow morning. There are some things that need to be dealt with.

As the founder, you should know the situation at Penguin best, so I won’t interfere in your development by pointing fingers.

I will only share my views on the future development of this communication software. "

Jiang Xiaobai said, and Brother Ma felt happy. Although Jiang Xiaobai has always been famous, he is the most eloquent investor and the most straightforward. Never interfere with the company's development and company plans. But that was just hearsay after all.

Now that Jiang Xiaobai personally promised not to interfere in the company's development, I felt relieved.

"Director Jiang, we must listen to you. You are our senior on the road to entrepreneurship. We still have a lot to learn from you." Xiao Ma and Li Qing said modestly.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and waved his hand: "I can't talk about seniors. What I have been doing before is industry. Industry and the Internet industry are two different lines. Maybe there will be intersections in the future, such as e-commerce, but in most cases, these two There is still a big difference.

So I don’t have anything to teach you. I just want to share my opinion. It’s up to you to do the specific things and the specific company business strategy. I am a supporter and will share my thoughts. I hope it can help you. It has certain reference significance. "

Brother Xiaoma and Li Qing nodded solemnly. Although Jiang Xiaobai said it very politely, Jiang Xiaobai is a major shareholder and a senior in the mall. Some of his words are not golden rules, but they are definitely of reference value.

Although they have talked with each other many times before, Xiao Ma and the others believe that what Jiang Xiaobai said this time will definitely be different, because Jiang Xiaobai was not a shareholder of the company before, and he would definitely not speak from his heart.

But it's different now that he has become a shareholder. This is his own company's business. Jiang Xiaobai will also say some practical things just to make the company profitable.

"Now is the Internet industry. I won't say anything else. The first thing is to find the point of profit. From now on, the Internet industry may still burn money, but I believe that in the future, people will no longer be able to make money with just one idea. It's time.

Therefore, this profit point and place for monetization must be found, and the first pot of gold must be dug here. Otherwise, it will be impossible to survive, and it will be useless no matter how many users there are. "

Brother Xiao Ma and Li Qing laughed bitterly when they heard this: "Director Jiang, we all understand this. The key is how to find profit points. Now not only us, but all Internet companies can't find profit points." ah."

"Can't find it. Have you ever thought about digging into the software itself, such as spending money to activate some special functions..."

Jiang Xiaobai said, Xiao Ma Ge and Li Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, but before the two of them could say anything, Jiang Xiaobai continued: "Of course, you still have to figure this out for yourself. In fact, hundreds of millions of users, as long as they think about it, If you reach the point of profitability, then there will definitely be no problem in surviving. Profitability is just a matter of time.”

"The other thing is that our users can be used as a port to find profit points from the outside. With so many users, no matter what they do? As long as we guide some of them, we can make good profits. I won't say much about the others, such as Talking about online games..."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't say everything at once, he just guided Xiao Ma and Li Qing's thoughts to say something.

Jiang Xiaobai talked for more than half an hour, from the beginning of digging himself to the traffic port, and finally to the closure of Penguin's own ecosystem. In the end, Jiang Xiaobai had no idea and just talked about whatever came to mind.

After all, Penguin in later generations is a Fortune 500 company, and studying their development would require several economic papers.

There are so many things to talk about.

The success of every enterprise has a certain amount of luck, but if you study it carefully, you will develop. Regardless of whether it is luck or not, at least every step of the development of this enterprise is either based on the pulse of the times or in line with the laws of economic development at that time. .

Jiang Xiaobai didn't know when he left. Neither Xiao Ma nor Li Qing noticed it. They were still digesting what Jiang Xiaobai said. Jiang Xiaobai's words tonight, even without saying them, were like a guiding light. Penguins point the way to the future.

But at least it gave the two of them a good idea. It didn't take much. The two of them continued the development idea mentioned by Jiang Xiaobai and figured it out clearly and smoothly.

Then the context of future development is basically clear. It is not that Jiang Xiaobai directly told them how to develop, but that there is a direction and they can develop along this direction.

In fact, the most terrifying thing about a company is not the current small difficulties. Although some small difficulties may become the root cause of a company's bankruptcy if not solved well, most companies have problems in the direction of development and there is no way to solve them. .

When the two people came to their senses, they realized that Jiang Xiaobai had left. After asking the staff at the door, they found out that Jiang Xiaobai had been gone for a long time.

"This Director Jiang deserves to be Director Jiang. What he said was like an enlightenment. I saw a lot of things clearly at once." Brother Ma said with some emotion.

"Yes." Li Qing also nodded: "How can he be a simple person who can start two Fortune 500 companies from scratch at a young age?"
