Chapter 16
"It's only enough to get 600,000 yuan!"
The weather in early April is not warm, and the continuous spring rain makes it even more cold.
Gu Cheng, who came out of WEMADE, had the illusion that the "small target" suddenly collapsed.
At the beginning of time travel, after escaping from the S-M Claws, he made up his mind to seize the first pot of gold on behalf of the legend.
This determination is inseparable from his understanding of the cold winter of the Internet.
But after listening to the quote just now, Gu Cheng felt confused that he had no place to do it.
His first reaction was: Park Young-kun cheated him, and the lion spoke up.
However, Park Ying-kong's expression during negotiations was not like a false statement.
After leaving WEMADE, Gu Cheng forced himself to calm down and investigate the current online game market in a realistic manner, comparing the transaction records of peers. In the end, he found that he really couldn't get 500,000 or 600,000 yuan for such a big game.
So Gu Cheng suddenly thought of another possibility—
In the "street stall history post" he read in his previous life, the record of "Chen Tianqiao started with 500,000 yuan" seems to mean that the other party invested 500,000 yuan in 1999 to establish Shanda Company. More than a year later, the bubble burst. Chen Tianqiao, who was desperate, took all the remaining assets of Shanda and bet on the game "Legend".
The problem lies in this vague "Shanda All Wealth".
It is impossible for Chen Tianqiao to do nothing in the past year from opening Shanda Company to buying Legendary agency rights.
With the good situation in the Internet circle in 1999, it is very likely that Chen Tianqiao made a small profit first.
So, when he finally bought the legend, the money he could mobilize may be far more than 500,000 yuan!
In fact, Chen Tianqiao in history finally spent 2 million yuan down payment to complete the transaction - unfortunately, Gu Cheng learned too badly about his history and did not know this at all.
That's why the previous misunderstanding happened.
...
what to do?
After sorting out these clues, Gu Cheng was worriedly finding that it might have to spend 2 million to win the legend!
If you still want to share as little as possible for the Dongyi people, or even buy out 100% completely, 3 million is far from enough!
And the time for him to enter the market is very close to the complete burst of the Internet winter bubble.
There is no possibility of turning one's 600,000 into millions in a short period of time!
He is a time travel, not a rebirth - he was not born in 2000 in his previous life.
I don’t know all the information about stock markets, futures, lottery, and black swan events.
He didn't know the record of the World Cup before the 2010s, the top five European leagues, and the NBA record, so he couldn't bet even if he bet on football.
Wen Zhuan Gong has no future for the time being.
So, let’s be down-to-earth.
600,000 yuan has been invested to register a company, so you must use this company to do something in real life, and there is no other way.
There is only a window period of more than half a year.
With the thought of making money, Gu Cheng thought for two days.
In addition to attending classes and having dinner every day, we just search for information online and try to explore some business opportunities that suit this era.
The Internet entrepreneurship wave in 2000 was still very turbulent. In various entrepreneurial BBS communities similar to the "Webmaster's Home" in later generations, you can find a lot of "dry goods" to share every day.
Gu Cheng has extraordinary knowledge and is eager to learn. As long as he passes all kinds of information into his eyes, he can judge the approximate value.
As the days passed by, he gradually became more accurate in his current Internet entrepreneurship.
But it's still a short time to hit the ball.
He was a little anxious and had acne on his lips.
During the S-M period, he relied on strict nutrition-fitness management and had a perfect figure. After just over half a month after he left the S-M Claw, he gained three or four pounds due to junk food and no time to exercise.
...
"Calm down, be calm, there is definitely a way."
The cheapest rent in Jiu Lao District is the smallest office in an office building.
Gu Cheng looked at a computer and a network cable on the second-hand desk; he took off almost two packs of Hannashan, and was still scratching his hair and forcing himself to calm down.
This office was rented when he registered a company and was trying to get rid of the registered address.
Since he rented all the rents, it would be a waste to be empty, so he would have to spend extra money to surf the Internet in the Internet cafe. So this week he moved all his computer and bedding luggage, and since then he has eaten and lived in the company.
Of course, it is impossible to decorate the office, so there is only a computer, floor shop and rice cooker.
The pot is used to cook instant noodles, which saves a lot of money than going out every day.
The instant noodles bags and cigarette butts on the floor were swept in the corner.
Seeing that this week was almost over, Gu Cheng finally had a look.
There is no shortage of people on the Internet who are as far-sighted as Gu Cheng. The group of people with the most sensitive sense of smell also feels the possibility of the Internet bubble being out of control just like him.
These knowledgeable people who entered the market late changed their course from the last few months last year and no longer started their own business, but provided ammunition and entrepreneurial services to those companies that had already entered the market.
This is a wise choice.
Just as the gold rush came, the first wave of people who rushed to their destinations must go down the well to find mines and dig gold.
But it would be a fool to do this later, because the vent of gold searching has passed. At this time, we should stand in front of another mine owner, selling shovels, jeans, and even excavators.
For the Internet industry, businesses such as "passing shovels and selling jeans" can be equivalent to selling promotion and selling data.
Those large Internet companies that want to go public need to make their company's website data better, with a higher daily clicks and daily active users, and a higher number of registered users. In order to get a higher valuation from venture capital and raise more funds in the stock market in the future.
If there is demand, there will be a market.
Just like more than ten years later, the follower novel writers at some point had to spend money to brush data in order to stand out from the vast number of homogeneous routines. On Apple APP-STORE, those mobile game developers with similar works will also hire companies to make the list.
Since the second half of 1999, this kind of data service has been concentrated in the field of "helping websites to browse clicks". At that time, a large number of plug-in scripts for browsing clicks can be browsed. The brushers make money by charging some service fees from the website operators.
The first few big players who made clicks made net profits of tens of millions of dollars worldwide.
However, because the technical content of the "click swipe" business is too low and there is no threshold, script plug-ins are rampant very quickly. Except for a few people who invented this kind of fraud, the slutty people made a lot of money. The follower pigs later had only been happy for less than two months, and they had no profit as the "click volume" depreciated violently.
By the beginning of 2000, there were no one on the earth who made money by simply paying clicks to earn service fees, and this gray industry had already wiped out itself.
After every entrepreneurial trend emerges, smart people must escape to the upstream of the supply chain in time to find the next "value depression" in time. Then they smile and watch the floods downstream, and the following pigs kill each other and form a red sea.
When stupid people know that they start a business in a website, smart people have long been selling traffic to website owners.
When Wang Ermazi next door knew that he would make money in the stock market, the dealer had already drawn a standard "swing double bottom" figure waiting to cut the leeks.
By the beginning of 2000, the number of clicks on all websites on ALEXA, an internationally authoritative website, had increased many times more than the previous year.
(Alexa is a subsidiary of Amazon.com, an authoritative organization that specializes in publishing world website rankings. How many daily active IPs are there in major websites around the world every day and the effective clicks are all authoritative based on the data released by Alexa.)
Before ALEXA launched the new credible click algorithm, the data "website clicks" temporarily lost value in venture capital and stock markets - because everyone knows that this number is fake, just like some great master novels in 2008, which often show hundreds of millions of clicks.
Then venture capital funds, Nasdacre dealers, and authoritative financial media such as the Wall Street Journal have switched to the indicator of "daily active IP number" as the main basis for judging the economic value of the website.
Because in the early 2000s, plug-in and script clicks were mainly used to repeatedly click on web pages and click on various links under the website, and it was impossible to mobilize thousands of computers to brush together at a low cost.
Therefore, the indicator of "Number of Daily Active IP Addresses" is still safe and clean for the time being, and investors and Nasdaq investors still have confidence in this data.
