Chapter 51: icq placement ads
the next day.
Silicon Valley, Wald Building, icq company.
Icq has just been established. The CEO of the company is Weisge, 27 years old; President Wadi, 26 years old; Chief Technology Officer Goldfinger, 26 years old; and Annon Amir, who has just come from Israel to serve as marketing director, 24 year old;
I have to say that icq is an Internet company with very young staff.
Of course, this situation was very common in Silicon Valley in the 1990s!
Now the official version of icq has been successfully developed. Zhu Ke, who knows that it will be strong in the future, naturally came here very early.
"I'm really a genius. I won 40% of the original shares for US$400,000. Even in the later rounds of additional investment, the shares will be diluted, but I am definitely making a lot of money!" Zhu Ke's heart moved.
In 1998, AOL paid more than 400 million US dollars to acquire icq!
"Zuke, you are finally here." Wisger said.
Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Can I not come? I'm the chief creative officer of the company."
"exactly."
Vardy and others on the side also kept nodding their heads.
Although Zhu Ke often does not come to icq company, he is absolutely qualified to serve as the chief creative officer. Many of the functions proposed are in line with the development of icq, making it clear about the future development as soon as it comes out.
Can it not fit?
Zhu Ke is a traverser, even if he was a person of the Great Celestial Kingdom in his previous life, he didn't know the specific function of icq, but don't he still understand qq?
Free download of software;
Membership level title;
Recharge members and enjoy functions such as text color, membership level acceleration, text special effects, etc.;
While developing the English version, the minor languages of other countries are also developed;
......
Zhu Ke mentioned a lot of such suggestions.
In particular, page simplification and the development of non-English languages are particularly important.
The last generation of icq, with its amazing creativity and free concept, once came out, it shocked the world and set off a boom in "online chat" all over the world. Even in non-English-speaking Asian regions, it occupies 70% of the market. .
Of course, because of the lack of development in non-English languages, many non-English countries have quickly introduced icq-like instant messaging software in their native languages.
Such as the qicq of the Great Heaven Dynasty, and the qq imitating qicq.
Icq's wrong operation made it quickly lose markets in many countries around the world.
Therefore, it is particularly important to develop non-English languages in a targeted manner!
Secondly, the simplification of the page is also very important.
Too many functions will make the page of the software appear bloated. At the same time, many functions are actually not used by many people, which will greatly harm the user experience.
"Lao Tzu has made so many suggestions, I don't believe that icq will be inferior to the height of the previous life."
Of course, Zhu Ke wants to return, but he will never blindly believe that icq will dominate the markets of all countries in the world.
Think back to the giant companies such as Amazon, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. in the early 2000s. At the beginning of their entry into the great dynasty, which of them was not a violent move, they were the second in the world.
But, the result?
It ended in a disastrous defeat!
Therefore, Zhu Ke's purpose is very clear from beginning to end!
That is to push icq to a higher height than the original time and space, and then successfully sell the equity in your own hands!
"Please, Lao Tzu is an ordinary traverser!"
"In my previous life, I said he was half of the entertainment industry, but he was actually an ordinary dick!"
"At this stage, it is already very difficult to run a film company. If you run a few more companies that have failed in the original time and space, then you can't catch the blind."
"How can I have this ability?"
"For companies that have failed in the original time and space, I don't think I have the ability to reverse their destiny."
"Well, even if I have the ability to reverse my fate, I will not do it. I am just a shareholder. If the company's equity is mine, then I can't say I will fight for it."
"As for icq?"
"Forget it, when it's the highest peak, sell it!"
Zhu Ke kept looking at the technicians, operating and testing the version of icq1.0 on the spot, and he had already entered the rhythm of imagination in his mind.
.......
"Mr. Wald, the positive 1.0 version we have developed has been completed, and the results of the test for a week are also quite perfect. Our various server equipment can satisfy at least one million people online at the same time." Chief Technology Officer Goldfinger Said.
Zhu Ke nodded and said: "At this stage, it is great to be able to meet 1 million people online at the same time, but it is not enough. I think we will continue to add servers. In the future, we must be able to meet tens of millions of people, even hundreds of millions of people at the same time. Online only."
Visger, Vardy and others also agreed on the spot.
Although young people have no money, there is absolutely no shortage of motivation.
In the following time, Zhuke made a suggestion again.
"Are you talking about movie placement ads?"
Wesger said in surprise: "Zuke, what you said is correct. The placement of popular movie advertisements does have a great effect on the early promotion of our products, but we have no money on our company's account now! "
Vardy also said: "Lack of money is the biggest problem."
Goldfinger exclaimed: "In addition to money, it is also very important to choose a movie that has not been released and has high box office potential."
money?
A high-grossing movie?
Haha~!
Zhuke is really enough for a chicken thief.
You don't have money, but I have money; you don't know the unreleased movies with high box office potential, but I have them!
"Juno"'s North American box office, but reached 140 million US dollars.
Moreover, most of the audience of the film is young people, which is particularly important for young groups on the Internet.
"You guys, don’t forget, I’m the chief creative officer of icq, and I’m also the owner of a film company. Our company’s film "Juneo" will be released in the near future. I can add implants to the film. Advertising. Well, of course I have to charge."
When the words fell, the whole office fell silent on the spot.
Zhu Ke added: "Of course, I will give the company a discounted price of 300,000 US dollars."
300,000 dollars?
It’s really not expensive just for placement of ads ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.
But the problem is that the icq company has no money!
Zhu Ke smiled again: "Money is not a problem. I have it! I can continue to invest more."
For a time, the entrepreneurial team such as Weisge got caught up in the discussion.
Zhuke was not in a hurry, just watched them discuss.
In the end, Visger and others succumbed!
Visger is very shrewd, but at this stage, they have no money, which is their biggest disadvantage.
Because the 1.0 version of icq has been completed, and Zhu Ke's shareholding ratio is already very high, reaching 40%, so this time Zhu Ke will not obtain a lot of equity even if he adds additional investment.
An additional US$500,000 will be added to take another 5% stake in icq.
In one fell swoop, Zhu Ke accumulated his icq equity to 45%.
Properly the largest individual shareholder at this stage!
.......
Back at Wald Pictures in Burbank, Los Angeles, Zhuke immediately asked Victor to contact the director Linklater, asking him to recall a part of the cast and staff of the "Juneo" crew, and add a few groups of implanted ads. Lens.
"Boss, this icq is also your company?" Victor asked.
Zhuke waved his hand and said with a smile: "No. I just took a little share."
A little share?
That is to say, Visg's few people are not here, otherwise they will definitely condemn Zhuke's shamelessness.
It's all over 50 damsels, and even said that it only has a small share?
Fortune Wushuang comes, misfortune never comes singly!
The ancients do not deceive me!
The good news that Icq is about to launch has already made Zhu Ke very excited. No, just a few days later, there was a good news.
The 40 episodes of the first season of SpongeBob SquarePants have all been completed.
