At 11:40 pm on August 5th, Beijing time, Baidu officially went public on the US's Nasdaq-listed stock exchange. The opening price was 66 US dollars, far exceeding the offering price of 27 US dollars. It created a legend in the US. The stock price rose by 354% on the first day and created eight billionaires!。
Perhaps the biggest impact of Baidu's listing was its market value, but what affected Wei Chuyang the most was the 8000 Baidu members.
From 2000 to 2003, Li Baidu had recruited a total of 8000 Founding Alliance members in China. Baidu's membership rules were that they had to pay 500 to 2080 yuan per month to rent the company's advertising space, get points every month, and pay dividends after going public. Before going public, there would be no dividends. If they cut off their relationship for a month, their dividends would be canceled. All the money you paid previously will not be returned to you.
China's 8000 members had been looking forward to Baidu's listing since 2000. It did not go public in 2001, 2002, and 2003. The members were wondering if Baidu could go public. When will Baidu be listed? We pay the money every month and every year. When exactly do we have to pay? If I spend all my money and can't pay it halfway, wouldn't I lose all the tens of thousands of yuan I paid before?
"Li Baidu is a big liar. We all fell for his trick!”As a result, some people reported to the government, some people asked reporters to report, and finally, CCTV reported," Baidu engaged in multi-level marketing, pulling heads, illegal fund-raising.”
When the members of Baidu saw the CCTV report, they were like a bolt from the blue, and their faces turned pale. As a result, 7800 people chose to give up on Baidu! He no longer paid 2080 yuan a month. He was no longer a "fool". Only 200 members remained, swearing to follow Baidu to the end!
Under the cold ridicule of others, these 200 members persevered and waited for the fruits of victory. In 2005, Baidu went public, and the profits they earned in that year exceeded their lifetime income. Moreover, the dividends increased year by year. Some Baidu members 'dividends reached up to four or five million. The results of the remaining 7800 members could be imagined.
Some people were happy while others were sad.
Ten o'clock in the morning, New Dawn Technology, conference room.
"We all know that Baidu went public last night, and its market value reached nearly four billion US dollars. Sister Tong, Sister Han, don't look so depressed. The 7800 initial members who gave up on Baidu are even more miserable than you.”，Looking at Wei Bai Tong and Wang Shihan's sickly and unambitious appearance, he said.
"These 7800 members told us one thing: It's not that the world has suffering, right and wrong, good and evil, but that we don't have a wise heart to observe it. With the heart of wisdom, we can change our perspective and thinking to choose our lives and face everything in our lives. We can't change our environment, but we can control our hearts. If our hearts change, the world will also begin to change.”
"These 7800 people were influenced by the people around them and gave up on grasping their hearts. Therefore, the opportunity also passed away. Sometimes, we have to believe in our own choices and persevere. The outcome is no longer important. What we have to value is that I believe in myself and I persevere in my choice. No matter the outcome is good or bad, not regretting is the greatest gain.”
"Sister Tong, Sister Han, I believe in the choice you made back then. If you continue on, you might see the sun. Moreover, I will definitely give you more than you can imagine, more than what you can get on Baidu.”Wei Chuyang poured chicken soup for the young ladies, and the effect was not bad. The two of them looked better, and their emotions had recovered.
Wei Baitong had been following Wei Chuyang from the beginning and had helped Wei Chuyang to get to where he was now. He had built this company from scratch and had confidence in Wei Chuyang. The emotions that were affected by Baidu only lasted for a moment, and the trace of strangeness disappeared.
Of course, Wang Shihan was also a courageous person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been accepted by Wei Botong without any promise. She was more optimistic about this product. Now, her impression of Wei Chuyang deepened. She couldn't help but admire this young man who was ten years younger than her. Looking at this mature and far-sighted young man, she was more satisfied with her original choice.
" Our Bilin Network is a great social networking site. It's a Social networks that despises acquaintances and includes strangers. This market is still a wasteland. Although QQ has launched Qzone and the number of users has exceeded one million, this also shows that the social networking market is still barren. It's enough for us to cultivate. As long as we patiently cultivate, I believe that our market territory will slowly expand and eventually occupy a dominant position. As everyone can see, our features are better than hers and more attractive than hers. As long as we do a good job in promoting it, along with the word of mouth of the users, it will be like a spark that can start a prairie fire. We will be the overlord and leader of this land.”Wei Chuyang pointed out the direction of the country.
"When the photo album in Qzone is just a storage function, we have to do better than them. We have to use photo sharing as the foundation and do a good job of browsing, editing, sharing, commenting, etc. Our photo album is not just a beautiful photo album tool. Don't worry, we'll provide you with a photo tool. A beautiful photo can be posted on your homepage and shared with your friends and family. Will your friends be envious and try it out? Everyone likes beauty, so there's no reason why we can't attract those who see beautiful pictures. One will spread to two, and two will spread to three. This will form a trend, and our user base will also increase exponentially.”
" We can define our own personal homepage. The younger ones may like fancy and cool ones, and we can provide them. The white-collar workers may like simple, elegant, and clean ones, and we can also provide them. You can choose to decorate your own homepage and give it to our users. This is a big highlight that is enough to attract users from all walks of life.”
" We provide short video playback. The users can shoot and create funny, scary, and other videos. While sharing for fun, they can also gain the attention of others. Seeing the increase in followers, do you want to create more interesting videos? After watching the video, more people would follow the person who posted it. When you had hundreds of thousands of followers, would there be an advertising company looking for you to advertise? Would the advertising fees go into your pocket? Would you be more proactive in making money? Not only would the video be like that, but writing articles and jokes could also gain the attention of others and develop more fans. That was when the advertising company would look for you. Of course, we can't let the advertisements run rampant. If they go too far, we'll have to ban them and warn them. Our main focus is the users. We have to create conditions that everyone can accept.”
Looking at Wei Chuyang, who stood up, Zhang Hanwen couldn't help but think of a great founding man's poem," Spring in Qin Garden, Changsha "
Alone in the cold autumn, the Xiangjiang River flows North to the head of Orange Island.
Look at the red mountains, the layers of forests are dyed red; The river is full of green water, and hundreds of boats are competing.
Eagles fly in the sky, fish fly in the shallow water, and all kinds of frosty weather compete for freedom.
I am sad and ask the vast earth, who is in charge of the ups and downs?
I have traveled with a hundred companions, recalling the past.
It happened that my classmate was young and vigorous, and the spirit of a scholar was vigorous and vigorous.
Pointing to rivers and mountains, stimulating words, dung soil was once a marquis of ten thousand households.
Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle of the river, the waves stopped the flying boat?
Zhang Hanwen believed that Wei Chuyang would definitely have a place on the Chinese Internet, and there would definitely be a place for him on the Internet.
Looking at the employees below nodding involuntarily, Wei Chuyang continued,""These are all our advantages. We have to develop users step by step, guide users step by step, and move forward steadily. I think success is just ahead."
" At the moment, all of the attention of the company is on QQ itself, and Qzone is just a subsidiary product. It's just a test product that hasn't been developed yet. We have the opportunity to surpass Qzone," Wei Chuyang said casually.
In his previous life, he had read a lot of articles analyzing FaceQzone and Renren. He had seen a report from China InternetWatch that showed that in 2005 and 2006, when QQ space existed as a personal blog, it had a total of 1 million users. Even if they treated Qzone as a virtual product like QQ Show, from the financial reports of the past two years, it was still a product that increased the company's costs.
" In the future, we will open up our own platform, attract more third-party service companies, create more interesting products and services, and attract more users to our platform. We will no longer be fighting alone, but as a group.”，Wei Chuyang had the air of a ruler.
Cheng Danyun looked at the fifteen-year-old boy and suddenly felt that he had lived his life in vain.
The young man's black hair danced in the wind as he pointed at the mountains and rivers. He was impassioned and had the demeanor of facing the world alone. Zhao Xiaodao had also become a fan of Wei Chuyang.
" Believe in yourself, believe in Chuyang Technology, believe in Bilin, and believe in me. Let's work together and create a better era.”
Everyone applauded for a long time. They were infected by Wei Chuyang's spirit and almost shouted out the slogan.
Wei Chuyang laughed in his heart. After spending so much time talking, it was still effective. At the very least, everyone's confidence had increased, and their cohesiveness had also increased.
All kinds of requests!
