Rebirth of the Wild Age

As to who took the first Song Weiyang Charity Dinner, the media and netizens are discussing a lot, and there are always new speculations every year. It wasn't until more than ten years later that a mysterious rich second generation of sea turtles suddenly spent a lot of money to form an e-sports team, and the truth of the past that had been dusty for many years finally came to light.

That rich second generation named Li Shenglong, in order to build momentum for his e-sports team, took the initiative to accept media interviews and told the reporter the details of the year.

According to Li Shenglong, around February 2005, his father took him home to celebrate the Spring Festival, and immediately left for Hong Kong City. At that time, Tencent's stock price had risen to HK$4.3, and his father spent 50 million yuan to buy 10 million shares, directly becoming the sixteenth largest shareholder of Tencent, with a shareholding ratio of 0.59%.

From 2005 to 2007 alone, Tencent's share price doubled 16 times. By the end of 2017, with the investment of 50 million RMB that year, its stock market value had reached 4 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Li Shenglong told the reporter very proudly: My father is very grateful to Mr. Song Weiyang, and he also believes in Mr. Song's vision. Over the years, my father has continuously increased his investment in Tencent. Now he has nearly 12 million shares of Tencent shares, with a market value of about 4.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. My father also tried to do other businesses, but basically lost money. Only by investing in Tencent stocks and real estate, he has been making profits. My father often told me that in a person’s life, if he meets a noble person, he can You can change your destiny and make a fortune by doing one thing right. I think the e-sports industry has great potential, so I want to invest in e-sports. I believe this is the right thing I did. Of course, I also want to thank Song Mr. Weiyang, his investment vision is too accurate. At the same time, I announce that I will bid for Song Weiyang's charity dinner next year, not to ask Mr. Song anything, but to say thank you on behalf of my father!

After saying this, keywords such as Song Weiyang Charity Dinner and God of Investment Song Weiyang directly appeared on the hot search list the next day.

Netizens were envious, jealous, and hated, saying that they didn't meet Song Weiyang earlier. If they had been instructed at the beginning, even if they were selling a house, they would have gone to Hong Kong City to invest in Tencent stocks.

In the second year after the incident came to light, Song Weiyang’s charity dinner was auctioned for a sky-high price of 30 million yuan, which was sold by a guy who makes blockchain currency. No one knew what they talked about, but after the dinner, the price of bitcoin skyrocketed, and related soft articles were overwhelmingly hyped.

Later, Song Weiyang accepted an interview with China Business News and made it clear: Unless the blockchain currency is officially issued by the government, I will never touch it.

All blockchain currencies plummeted, including Bitcoin. Dozens of bosses in the country gloated and posted smiley faces on Weibo to celebrate, copying and pasting Song Weiyang’s words, and adding a bracketed word at the end: “Unless the blockchain currency is officially issued by the government, I I will never touch it. (Song Weiyang: Liars also want me to be used as a gun? I am the grandfather of liars!)”

Well, it can be seen that by 2018, Song Weiyang's fraud has become a meme. Everyone can use it to make fun of it, and they are not afraid of offending Song Weiyang's happy public stalk.

But back in 2004, Song Weiyang’s charity dinner only lasted for half a month. After all, there are new things happening in China every day, and people’s attention will always shift——Lenovo suddenly announced the acquisition of IBM’s PC business. Become the center of attention, or rather the attention of the world!

The paper media was full of praise and praise, and Lenovo's status as a national brand and national pride was completely consolidated by this operation. Some government orders of China Computer were instantly snatched by Lenovo, because the leaders made it clear that they wanted to buy Lenovo machines.

Many media also took the initiative to contact Song Weiyang, asking him to comment on Lenovo's acquisition.

Song Weiyang was annoyed by the reporters, causing Shen Si to block them all. It wasn't until he attended an official event that he was blocked by reporters and couldn't escape, so he said ambiguously: Lenovo will be very difficult in the next three years. If it can successfully integrate the business, it will be able to soar into the sky and be proud of the global PC market. If the integration is not successful, it may become a long-term drag. I hope Lenovo can succeed, after all, this is our national brand and the pride of all Chinese people.”

I heard that IBM also contacted Sinotech, why didn't you choose to cooperate? the reporter asked.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: I think my talents are limited, and I don't have the confidence to integrate IBM's PC business, so I can only choose to give up. I admire Mr. Liu and Mr. Yang very much. It is because they are courageous and far more courageous than me.

At this time, iResearch suddenly released the China Search Engine Research Report.

According to the report, the market shares of Chinese search engines are as follows: Sogou (45.8%), Baidu (21.4%), Yisou (16.3%), and others (15.5%).

This statistical result shocked Ding Ming, because Sogou's market share fell too fast. After research and discussion at the meeting, Sogou executives all thought it was normal. Although Sogou’s market share had dropped a lot, its business, traffic and profits were all soaring. It's just that the market size is growing faster and more competitors are pouring in, which has diluted Sogou's market share.

One of the most eye-catching competitors is Yisou, whose full name should be Yahoo Yisou.

Although Yahoo has invested in Baidu, it seems that it is reluctant to part with this piece of cake, so it has to play to disrupt the situation in person. Just like Google in history, after participating in Baidu's financing, he rushed to China to grab business. If Song Weiyang hadn't let Sogou buy out Google's Chinese website patent license when he invested in Google, I am afraid that Google in this time and space would also Come to China to develop.

Last year, Sogou acquired hao123, and Baidu acquired 256, and the businesses of both companies are growing rapidly. So Yahoo was also jealous, and turned around and bought 3721. On the basis of Yahoo search, a new brand Yahoo Yisou was created.

Relying on the remaining users of Yahoo and the traffic of 3721 navigation stations, Yahoo Yisou immediately became the third largest search engine in China.

It is worth mentioning the leader in red, this gentleman is too good at business. Although 3721 has the best reputation among navigation stations, its traffic has already been surpassed by hao123 and 256, and the sales of the latter two websites are only tens of millions. The leader in red sold 3721 for 120 million. Dollar.

Yahoo is such a tiger, it actually bought it.

Of course, 3721 is not a pure navigation station. Entering the Chinese name in the URL bar is the first method that the leader in red came up with. But in fact, this has nothing to do with search, but to let the customer's website register a Chinese name in 3721, and the netizen can automatically jump to the corresponding website when they enter the Chinese name.

The leader in red called this network real name and declared that he would let Chinese use Chinese to surf the Internet, creating a concept of national style Internet. This is great, the media has room for hype, and it can also attract users' attention, so 3271 has a very good reputation in the industry-this thing used to be very profitable, second only to search and bidding ads, after all, it allows beginners to directly enter Chinese URL.

It's a pity that this approach is destined to be useful only in the early days of the Internet, which is convenient for Internet users to quickly find websites. When the function of the search engine becomes powerful, and when the Internet novice gradually becomes an old bird, 3721's Guofeng Internet is useless, and it can only lead to a dead end for navigating the website.

However, 3721 practiced the rogue trick of the leader in red, which was later used in the promotion of 360 security guards, directly making the number 360 notorious. JD.com’s early website was 360buy.com, and it was also cheated by 360 of the leader in red. Netizens misunderstood that it was related to rogue 360, so they hurriedly changed the website to jd.com.

In any case, China's search engine industry is in trouble this year. Everyone sees that Sogou and Baidu have made a lot of money, so they rushed to become search engines. In 2004, there were tens or hundreds of Chinese search engine brands, and cats and dogs came to join in the fun.

It is possible that a few teachers and students who understand technology can make a search engine hastily, and they can get funds from big money or venture capitalists. Then learn from the industry leaders, find cooperation with navigation websites (there are too many navigation websites), and then trick companies into investing in search ads.

These messy search companies made a lot of money, and lost even more, but in the end, they were basically all dead.

But with so many competing peers, and so many noobs who are new to the Internet, it is certain that users will be diverted, and it is not wrong for Sogou Search to dilute its market share. When those cats and dogs are completely dead, the market share of big websites will also increase.

But the big website obviously couldn't wait any longer. In order to expand the market share, Li Yanhong personally led the team to conduct a nationwide speech tour. Hundreds of tens of millions of publicity funds have been spent, and Baidu's promotional soft articles are everywhere. Li Yanhong is making himself a star in the IT industry, so as to drive Baidu's development.

Ding Ming is not very good at speaking in public, and he is not as handsome, as highly educated, or as skilled as Li Yanhong. He is destined not to be a star. As a counterattack, Ding Ming could only launch various promotional activities, and often sponsored TV programs.

The two parties launched wap search almost at the same time, using mobile phones to search for information on the Internet, and each released news about their upcoming listing in the United States.

It's time to go public, because Google's stock price has skyrocketed and has exceeded 200 US dollars, which means that Song Weiyang's net worth has also exceeded 20 billion US dollars! Search engine stocks have been popularized by Google, and it is a good time for Sogou and Baidu to go public, and they can borrow money from Google's Dongfeng Circle.

At this time, Song Weiyang also had to go to the United States to sign the contract. Because he had an agreement with Larry, if Google's stock price exceeds $200, he must transfer 3% of the shares.

Google couldn't buy back that much, so it found more than a dozen investment institutions to buy the shares transferred by Song Weiyang.

In this transaction, Taurus Capital cashed out 1.68 billion US dollars at one time, earning a lot of money.

Well, the shares that were transferred were all shares held by Golden Bull Capital, and Song Weiyang's personal shares remained unchanged. Now Song Weiyang personally holds 3.34% of Google's shares, Altair (Taurus Capital) holds 25.45% of Google's shares, and Golden Bull Capital is still Google's major shareholder.

By the way, when Song Weiyang bought the bottom of NetEase, he also bought 10 million shares of Amazon.

It's a pity that Amazon is so f*ckingly weak. There was a wave of bottoming out in 2003, and in 2004 it suddenly plummeted again. Amazon's stock price at this time has only increased by less than 6 times compared to when Song Weiyang bought the bottom, and it only brought him a book profit of more than 200 million U.S. dollars.

This is nonsense, Song Weiyang is very unconvinced!

After Taurus Capital cashed out US$1.68 billion in Google shares, he personally invested US$100 million and Altair (Taurus Capital) US$200 million, all of which were used to buy Amazon in the secondary market. Together, they bought another 10 million shares, which immediately boosted Amazon's stock price.

Just wait another three years, and the $300 million invested in Amazon this time will turn into $1 billion, and then more and more...
