Chapter 51 icq's implanted advertisements
the next day.
Silicon Valley, Wald Building, IQ Company.
Icq has just been established. The company's CEO is Weisger, 27 years old; President Wadi, 26 years old; Chief Technology Officer Gordefinger, 26 years old; and Annon Amir, who has just come from Israel to serve as marketing director, 24 years old;
I have to say that icq is an Internet company with very young members.
Of course, this situation was very common in Silicon Valley in the 1990s!
Now the official version of icq has been successfully developed. Zhuke, who knew its awesome future, naturally came here very early.
"I am really a genius. I won 40% of the original shares in $400,000. Even if the additional investment in the later period will dilute the shares, I will definitely make a big profit!" Zhu Ke's heart moved.
In 1998, American Online paid more than 400 million US dollars to acquire IQ!
"Zuke, you're finally here." Weisger spoke.
Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Can I not come? I am the company's chief creative officer."
“Yes, yes.”
Wadi and others on the side also kept nodding.
Although Zhuke often does not come to IQ Company, he is definitely qualified to serve as the chief creative officer. The many functions he proposed are in line with the development of IQ, making it clear its future development as soon as it was released.
Can it be inconsistent?
Zhu Ke is a time traveler. Even as a person from the Great Heavenly Kingdom in his previous life, he didn’t know the specific functions of icq, but didn’t he understand qq?
Free download of software;
Membership Title;
Recharge members and enjoy text colors, member level acceleration, text special effects and other functions;
While developing the English version, small languages in other countries are also developed;
......
Zhuke mentioned a lot of suggestions like this.
Especially page simplification and development of non-English languages, these two items are particularly important.
The icq in the previous life, with its amazing creativity and free concept, shocked the world once it was released, and set off a craze for "online chat" around the world. Even in non-English-speaking Asia, it occupied 70% of the market.
Of course, due to the lack of non-English language development, many non-English speaking countries have quickly launched IQ-like instant messaging software in their own languages.
For example, qicq from the Great Heavenly Dynasty and qq imitating qicq.
Icq's wrong operation quickly lost the market in many countries around the world.
Therefore, it is particularly important to develop non-English languages in a targeted manner!
Secondly, simplification of the page is also very critical.
Too many functions will make the software page look too bloated. At the same time, many functions are not used by many people, which will greatly harm the user's experience.
"I have made so many suggestions, but I don't believe that icq will not be as high as the previous life."
Of course, Zhuke thought about it, but he would never blindly think that icq would dominate the markets of all countries around the world.
Thinking about the giant companies such as Amazon, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. in the early 2000s, when they entered the Great Heavenly Kingdom, no one was coming in full force, and they looked like they were the only one who was the only one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was
But what is the result?
The defeat ended!
Therefore, Zhuke's purpose from beginning to end is very clear!
That is to push icq to a higher level than the original time and space, and then successfully sell the equity in your hands!
"Please, I'm just an ordinary time traveler!"
"In my previous life, I was actually an ordinary loser!"
"It's already very difficult to run a film company at this stage. If you run a few more companies that have failed in their original time and space, you must not be fooled."
"How can I have this ability?"
"For enterprises that have failed in their original time and space, I don't think I have the ability to reverse my destiny."
"Well, even if you are abruptly and have the ability to reverse your destiny, I won't do it. I'm just a shareholder. If the company's equity is mine, I can't say I'll fight."
"As for icq?"
"Forget it, when the peak is at your peak, you'll be OK to sell it!"
Zhu Ke kept looking at the technicians, operating and testing the icq1.0 version on-site, and his mind was already in the rhythm of imaginary thoughts.
.........
"Mr. Wald, the positive version 1.0 we have developed has been completed, and the results of the test week are quite perfect. Our various server devices can meet at least 1 million people online at the same time," said Chief Technology Officer Gordfinger.
Zhuke nodded and said, "It is already amazing to be able to satisfy 1 million people online at this stage, but it is not enough. I think we need to continue to add servers. In the future, we must be able to satisfy tens of millions of people, or even hundreds of millions of people online at the same time."
Weisger, Wadi and others agreed on the spot.
Although young people have no money, they are definitely not short of motivation.
In the following time, Zucker made another suggestion.
"You mean movies are embedded in ads?"
Weisger said in surprise: "Zuke, you are right. The implanted advertisements of popular movies have indeed greatly promoted the early promotion of our products, but our company's account now has no money!"
Wadi also said: "No money is the biggest problem."
"In addition to money, it is also very important to choose a movie that is not released and has high box office potential," said Gordfinger.
money?
A movie with a high box office?
Haha~!
Zhuke is really a thief.
You don’t have money, but I have money; you don’t know about movies that have not been released and have high box office potential, but I have them!
"Juno"'s North American box office reached 140 million US dollars.
Moreover, the majority of the audience of the movie are young people, which is particularly important for young groups on the Internet.
"Everyone, don't forget that I am the chief creative officer of IQ Company and the boss of a film company. The movie "Juno" produced by our company will be released soon. I can add implanted advertisements to the movie. Well, of course I have to charge."
After the words fell, the entire office became quiet on the spot.
Zhuke added: "Of course, I will give the company a discount price of $300,000."
$300,000?
It's really not expensive to just insert advertisements.
But the problem is that icq company has no money!
Zhuke smiled again and said, "Money is not a problem. I have it! I can continue to invest more."
For a time, the entrepreneurial teams such as Weisger fell into discussion.
Zhuke was not in a hurry, so he watched them discuss.
In the end, Weisger and others surrendered!
Weisger is very smart, but at this stage, they have no money, which is their biggest disadvantage.
Because the 1.0 version of icq has been completed, and Zhuke's equity accounted for a very high proportion, reaching 40%, this time even if Zhuke added additional investment, he did not obtain much equity.
An additional $500,000 was added to acquire 5% of IQ equity again.
Zhu Ke saved up his IQ equity to 45%.
It is definitely the largest individual shareholder at this stage!
.........
Back at Wald Pictures in Burbank, Los Angeles, Zucker immediately asked Victor to contact director Linklater and asked him to recall some of the actors and employees of the "Juno" crew and add several sets of shots of implanted advertisements.
"Boss, this icq is also your company?" Victor asked.
Zhuke waved his hand and smiled, "No. I just took a little bit of the shares."
A little bit of shares?
That is, if Weisger and others are not here, otherwise they will definitely denounce Zhuke's shamelessness.
It’s more than 50%, but he actually said he only owns a little bit of shares?
Good fortune will come unparalleled, but misfortunes will never come in one single way!
The ancients really did not deceive me!
The good news that Icq is about to launch has already made Zhu Ke very excited. Just a few days later, I received a good news.
Chapter completed!
