There must be a deal between the two, although Wu Mingzhu laughed and said: "I didn't say anything, I just talked about the situation."
Fang Zhe decided not to ask any more questions, because the domestic Internet industry would no longer be the focus in the future.
How should I put it? Treat the Internet industry as a place to make money.
From a technical perspective, the Internet industry itself does not have much room for improvement. Things like shared platforms and cloud data are essentially application-level things and can barely be considered high-tech. Like Ali.
For a company, regardless of its market value after listing, it will not resolve key issues at all. If someone cuts off your chip, it will be difficult to breathe.
Warwick was the first company to realize this problem. It spent a lot of money and only made some achievements at the chip design level. When it comes to production technology, production equipment, production raw materials, and many aspects, no corresponding domestic company has stepped forward.
Ahri has only invested in server chip design.
The relatively far-sighted investment among Internet companies is artificial intelligence, but these are the top layer, not the cornerstone. To put it harshly, without the support of hardware, all the tricks of the software are in vain.
"Internet companies and the game industry are all used to make money." Fang Zhe reminded her kindly, and Wu Mingzhu paused before reacting: "You mean, you won't increase investment in the future? Weibo is going to be listed.
If so, it’s also in Hong Kong City?”
"Isn't Hong Kong City good? Now the Must Die team has been urging the listing. Marilyn and the Must Die team also feel that it should be a good time to go public in two years." Fang Zhe has no intention of investing in the Internet industry.
A lot of thought was clearly expressed. It’s not that this industry doesn’t make money, but that the ceiling is not high. When the two giants have money in the future, they will not pursue technological advancement, but expand their margins to make quick profits.
Money is the main purpose.
For example, these Internet giants are aggressively entering the film and television industry. This does not mean that they cannot enter the film and television field. The key point is that this field does not help the company's own technological level. Isn't it a good high-tech enterprise?
We have spent 100 billion on video websites in a few years. What can we do with this money? We have to spend money on this saline-alkali land. There is also Didi. The two giants are fighting. How much money was spent on it? What about the end?
?
I don’t know if the Internet industry is a blue ocean. Anyway, many weirdos have appeared since then, such as shared bicycles, which are just for the purpose of making money by going public. People’s real needs for travel have not been taken into account at all. More than 100 billion have been burned on batteries.
Does it smell good? Is it not good to burn it on an electric car? Even if the motor level is improved.
Well, of course Fang Zhe was a bit of an afterthought, but this cannot deny the lack of preparatory work in market research for those companies that engage in shared projects.
In a word, Fang Zhe told Wu Mingzhu his true thoughts: the Internet industry is just for making quick money.
Wu Mingzhu's understanding is another meaning, and she has to rely on herself from now on.
"I strive to have Weibo listed within five years. Speaking of running a business, you must make money. At this stage, Weibo's funds can still sustain it. If it does not raise funds, under the current fierce competition, the funds will definitely be needed in the next two years.
There are difficulties.”
Wu Mingzhu did not hold on, she still had to complain if she should complain, at least she had to take the initiative.
"From now on, you will definitely be in charge of the management of Weibo. The purpose of Ren Ping's existence is not to be a constraint, but to help solve a lot of troubles. Once the competition between enterprises becomes fierce, it is normal for them to use all possible means."
Wu Mingzhu nodded and said: "This is the truth. Financing matters still have to start. After all, it would be too painful to burn your own money to build an Internet company. There are three main competitors at the moment, and everyone is burning money."
How do you say this? There are probably two ways for Internet companies in China, one is to copy the United States, and the other is to copy their peers. Once competition between products of the same type occurs, it will be life and death. The most classic one is the 3Q war, the leader
They were all frightened and ran away. It was very scary to arrest people in a strange place.
In the process of its vigorous development, the Internet has given birth to many classic memes, such as "respect originality".
Those successful people in the Internet era also have their own jokes, such as being blind and not liking money.
When Fang Zhe was still talking to Wu Mingzhu about the future development of Weibo, a call came in. He took a look and found that it was Brother Xiao Ma. He answered the phone with a smile. The voice that came over there was still the familiar gentle and strong voice: "Fang Sheng, Nian
There is a road show in Hougang City. If you are free, come and take a look. You are the company’s major shareholder, so you should take care of your investment."
Fang Zhe was in a daze for a while. Don't tell me, as a shareholder, Fang Zhe really did not interfere with Penguin. If it hadn't been for this call, Fang Zhe wouldn't have known about such a thing.
"That's no problem. You can tell me the time later and I'll contact you when I get to Hong Kong City."
After some pleasantries, Fang Zhe hung up the phone. Wu Mingzhu next to her had her ears pressed to the back of her hands. Fang Zhe looked at her speechlessly. Why don't you cover it up?
"Who are the main investors in Penguin?" Wu Mingzhu really didn't hide it at all. After all, if Weibo wants to be listed in Hong Kong, it will definitely need more consultation.
"Besides me, there is a South African company that invests a lot. It is said to be a South African company. South Africa is an old colony. There should be European capital behind this company. I don't want to worry about where they can find investment. I
Just pay, and after they go public, I will absorb as many stocks as they can attract from the market."
Such affirmative words made Wu Mingzhu think: "What, you are very optimistic about this company?"
"Currently, this company is a social platform, and it has the largest number of users in the world. With so many users, no matter what it does in the future, there will be no shortage of channels for attracting traffic. It has done some value-added services in the past two years, and its results are still very good.
It is said that it has already started making games. As long as the management does not mess around, it will definitely be the dominant player in the domestic game industry in the future."
Penguin’s successful product is WeChat. It’s not that Fang Zhe has never thought about it. In the end, he doesn’t intend to change anything.
From now on, we will still focus on industrialization. Computers will continue to squeeze out imagination, and mobile phones will strive to be ahead of Apple and create an ecosystem of their own. The chip industry will slowly improve the industrial chain and strive to be at the forefront of technology on the production side.
Another thing is the electronic payment license. Dongfang Zhe is not going to remind Wu Mingzhu that whether she can think of it or not can do it depends on her own ability. What is the key to this thing? It is too difficult to get.
Just as it was about to finish the meal, Yun Jue called in. Fang Zhe answered the call and stood up to leave helplessly. Wu Mingzhu sent him away with a resentful look in her eyes. I don't know what was going on in her heart. She must have been unhappy.
