Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"A mother-in-law!"

Chen Yizhou once again extended his cordial greetings in his hometown dialect.

Yao Yuan announced that Maiwo Community received financing, and the news quickly spread wildly in the investment circle. Several institutions that were interested in Xiaonei.com immediately withdrew after hearing the news. If they can invest first, who will invest second?

What's more, the second one was picked up, and the difference in size is dozens of times!

The duck that was stewed in the pot flew away. Chen Yizhou, who has always been good at raising financing and bullying others, felt frustrated again-the last time he founded ChinaRen, which was acquired by Sohu.

"..."

He locked himself in the office, panting like a cow, and he couldn't figure out who Yao Yuan was for a while.

Isn't community what you want? You have rejected at least 20 investment proposals, why did Mao let go at this time? Is it really to make a mobile phone and realize another ideal?

I can't fix it for Chen Yizhou.

Is there really such a pure person who does the Internet?

But no matter what, he is very angry now, and just wants to give the other party some eye drops, and ordered: "Make the news public, and say that the wheat nest is going to be sold!"

…………

In 2001, Yao Yuan set up a crude dating club and made his first pot of gold by relying on SMS alliances.

In 2002, the prototype of the community officially took shape, and it has been 5 years so far. It has created countless precedents and led countless products, but because it was not born in the United States, its influence has been greatly reduced.

Even so, it has also changed the domestic Internet process, such as suppressing the blog era that once created glory in history-although there are blog sites now, they have not become bigger.

This is the ark of young people, the spiritual home, there have been too many stories here... Now it is going to be sold?

As soon as the news came out, the Internet exploded immediately, and many netizens who were really extreme and fake extreme protested, or fished in troubled waters.

"The boy who slayed the dragon eventually became a dragon, Commander Yao couldn't resist the temptation of capital after all!"

"I'm posting here to prove that if Maiwo is really sold, I won't take another step and let it be buried with my youth!"

"Commander Yao swears to promote ideals, after all, is he still a businessman covered in money?"

"Everyone was deceived by him!"

"Maybe he's fattening wheat nest, just waiting for this day!"

Rumors and trolls did drive some rhythm, but Liu Weiwei acted in time and quickly corrected the trend of public opinion.

"Where are there so many Level 1 numbers? They are just messing around. Didn't Commander Yao clearly say that they are short of money to make mobile phones!"

"Let me just say one thing, Maiwo is the only one that doesn't have ads! Now, which websites, big or small, don't have ads? Do you know how much advertising fees can be charged every year with Maiwo's size, at least 200 million!"

"Maiwo has been interesting to users for so many years. As long as the eyes are not blind or the brain is not disabled, I understand that I don't want Maiwo to change hands, but to put it bluntly, why should we kidnap Commander Yao morally?"

"Yeah, now the official has not announced the news, it sounds like the wind is raining!"

"In 2002, I was just a freshman in the community, and now I am working after graduation. Maiwo has accompanied me in my happiest and youthful time. I met my girlfriend here, made many friends in the same city, and met people from all over the world. Brothers and sisters, there really is a big family atmosphere here, no matter what happens to Mai Wo, I will stick to it.”

This passage resonated, and people began to feel nostalgic.

"When I came, it was still a dating club. At that time, there were two goddesses, the doll sister and the smiling girl. New users didn't know about it."

"The smiling girl is so strange and so familiar, I remembered it as soon as you mentioned it, and I was obsessed with it for a while."

"I called the smiling girl!"

"The brother upstairs was joking. The smiling girl is the most mysterious, and she didn't know her real body in the end. How could you still make a phone call?"

"Merry Rivers and Lakes Legend, Yimoxincha, Jinsha, Youth, Muzimei, Sister Furong, 6 Yuan Malatang, Super Girl, Squinting Eyes, Korean-Baihai Controversy, Mai Ke, Goddess Contest... I have too many memories here, suddenly want to cry."

Why is sentimental rice delicious?

Because people will grow up, and habitually beautify the past, miss the past. We laugh at the elderly and talk about the old days, but in fact everyone is the same.

A bad movie like "Pancake Man" can move a large number of people only by the appearance of the four-person group of young and Dangerous at the end. Even "Write Poems for You" can be made into a movie to sell their feelings, and even the " Both Li Lei and Han Meimei can be used as gimmicks... This is the reason.

Before the wheat nest was sold, a group of people began to nostalgia, and it became more and more intense.

Yao Yuan knows what's going on, but netizens don't know, those UP owners don't know! Especially those UP owners, who have earned a lot of pocket money by relying on the community's incentive plan in recent years, who knows if they will pay it back in the future?

Pan Pan, who cooks, posted a post, recalling the story of his recording of "One Meal".

The famous lady Zhu Tiantian also proudly said that besides this place, no other place deserves to have an old lady!

There are also photography, make-up, travel, and clothing. Those online singers also come to join in the fun. Although we have moved to Qianqian Music now, we will never forget Maiwo!

The portal network is also spreading wildly. Even Lao Ma, Xiao Ma, Robin Li, Chen Tianqiao, and Ding Lei all called Yao Yuan, asking if they really want to sell, and they can consider us.

All these kinds of things instantly heighten the feeling of "the atmosphere is here, you can't go if you don't go".

Yao Yuan took a look, what the fuck? I'm not dead yet!

He simply used his real-name-authenticated account to post a diary, which was not as eloquent as an internal letter, but only a few short sentences:

"Mai Wo will not be sold, but only accept investment.

Many people will not believe that I do Mai Wo not to make another successful company in the world, but to let more minorities like me find a place to be happy together online.

Mai Wo may go bankrupt in the future, but it will never deteriorate! "

…………

This may be the highest-quality product that has received investment since the birth of the domestic Internet.

Sohu, QQ, and Taobao were also very high-quality back then, but they were not at their strongest stage. Maiwo announced its opening when it was in full swing.

Investment institutions, large and small, were all excited, rushing to the capital, queuing up to meet Yao Yuan, and at the same time calculating the valuation of Maiwo.

The benchmark product is naturally facebook.

Facebook was established in 2004, and in 2006 it rejected Yahoo's $1 billion acquisition.

This year, the latest news came out that Microsoft intends to bid 240 million US dollars to acquire a 1.6% stake in Facebook, yes, it is 1.6%!

Doing so brings its valuation to a staggering $15 billion!

Of course, according to the usual practice, the valuation of similar domestic products is far lower than that of the United States—even if Maiwo is ahead of Facebook.

Even the traditional newspapers are excited, writing articles one after another to analyze how many shares Maiwo will take out in the end, and how much money will it earn? Brother Xiao Ma and Robin Li were more sincere, and carefully studied whether they could make an investment, but they were rejected by Yao Yuan.

To be honest, the current Maiwo general institutions cannot afford to invest.

He is waiting for predators.

(no more...)
