Chapter 2783 Two Websites

Last year, Xiao Qi invested and founded many websites.

Without exception, these sites are proven good sites.

For example, Fairy Crowdfunding website, a crowdfunding website published in the vast tide of websites, did not attract much attention at the beginning, but when the European debt crisis continued to spread, the US economy also deteriorated. Banks and investment funds After the monetary tightening, it gradually became popular.

In the past, entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, as long as they had good ideas, they would not worry about being taken advantage of to invest.

As for whether they can be as successful as GOOGLE, Facebook and other companies in the end, these technical geeks don't care, as long as they can enjoy the process of their own creation and research and development.

But that's exactly what the money-making effect is all about.

As long as they see that one out of a hundred others is super successful, those investors will actively ignore the 99 failed investments, and thus pour in more actively.

Therefore, the days of entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley have been very good in recent years.

But at first it was the subprime mortgage crisis, then the financial crisis, and then the debt crisis again. Many funds suffered heavy losses, so that the money in their hands has also shrunk repeatedly, and they dare not invest as generously as they used to up.

So these Silicon Valley entrepreneurs may have made a difficult case.

Especially for entrepreneurs who only need tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of funds, it is even more of a headache.

Don't think that those fund companies with less money will invest indifferently. In fact, they have no interest in such an idea with a small investment.

In the past, they could cast a lot of nets, but now they would rather see another Facebook appear, and then invest after making sure it can grow bigger.

Although the earning will not be as much as joining in at the beginning, it is still a very stable way to earn money.

As for these small entrepreneurs, don’t look at tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of talents. Silicon Valley has more than hundreds of thousands of R&D personnel. He went out lightly.

at this time. Fairy Crowdfunding, which had already gained a little fame, suddenly began to vigorously advertise, and it can be seen in almost newspapers, TV, and the Internet.

Entrepreneurs are all smart people, look at the rules and regulations here. I knew what was going on, and then I saw that this was "Fairy Crowdfunding", a company founded by Xiao Qi, and its credibility was guaranteed, so I naturally went in.

Go in like this. They naturally discovered the benefits. After a little research, many people immediately posted the general content of their ideas on the Internet, and then successfully made a crowdfunding contract, and got the money to start research and development. .

With a successful example, many people have followed suit.

This time they are facing thousands of ordinary people. How to impress ordinary investors, this group of entrepreneurs may not understand, and some are very proficient, and the key to their success. It just depends on whether ordinary investors can be persuaded, rather than what their research and development direction is.

So, after everyone pondered and discussed with each other, they became more and more accustomed to how to deal with these ordinary investors, and the successful cases of crowdfunding followed one after another. By November, there were already more than 3,200 large and small crowdfunding projects. Examples appear.

Among them, the most powerful one is about the research and development of environmentally friendly bicycle materials, which raised more than 5 million US dollars from more than 1,200 investors in one breath!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the entire entrepreneurial and investment circles!

For a time, everyone paid more and more attention to fairy crowdfunding.

And after Milner's money-spending propaganda again. This new model of entrepreneurship and investment has also begun to expand in the United States, and even many people in Europe have invested in it.

Although it is during the financial crisis, the average middle class is still more or less in stock. It is not very reliable for them to put in the stock market and funds. Now they find that there is such an investment opportunity, which does not require a lot of money, and they can invest in more projects, which makes them very excited.

If you are not successful, you will lose hundreds or thousands of dollars, but what if you succeed?

If only I found the next Facebook. The next Uber? Isn't that a good thing for a lot of money!

Ok.

Now these ordinary investors are also caught in the predicament of this wealth-making effect.

And the more difficult the external environment, the more willing they are to participate.

Seeing that ordinary investors are so active, those professional investors and investment companies have also begun to pay attention to this originally inconspicuous crowdfunding website.

The new type of crowdfunding plan, detailed capital investment guarantee, perfect distribution plan... etc., it seems that a new door has been opened in the investment industry, and the threshold has been greatly lowered, allowing ordinary people Everyone can join forces and participate in it.

If one person's power is not enough, then a hundred or a thousand people can pool together to provide assistance to entrepreneurs and have the hope of making a fortune.

They suddenly discovered to their horror that if this crowdfunding website continues to develop and tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people participate in it, the so-called capital advantages and network advantages in their hands will not work at all. , My job was also smashed!

However, panic is panic, they can't do anything to this crowdfunding website.

Because this crowdfunding website is called Fairy Crowdfunding, and it is a company founded by Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world. If it goes against Xiao Qi, no one will be interested in it!

You know, Xiao Qi is notoriously difficult and revengeful, and the lessons of Google are still in front of us. Who has so much leisure to fight wits and courage with hundreds or thousands of lawyers? I have eaten too much what?

So they simply made a decisive decision and rushed in directly, hoping to find a project they were interested in and invest a little bit.

As a result, after entering, they found that there were so many interesting projects, so the investment could not stop, and they continued to invest one after another, and they spent millions or even tens of millions of dollars unknowingly.

With such investment, Fairy Crowdfunding has raised more than 7,200 crowdfunding projects in February, with a total fundraising of more than 300 million U.S. dollars.

Compared to the half of the 500 million US dollars invested by Xiao Qi, the raised funds are actually only about the same amount, which seems to be a bit of a loss on the surface.

But both Milner and the management are elated.

They know that the good word-of-mouth gained by spending money has now begun to affect people.

More than 300 million is just the beginning. With the continuous influx of entrepreneurs and investors, it is not surprising that the amount of crowdfunding in 2010 exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

As long as there are a few successful examples of Fairy Crowdfunding, Fairy Crowdfunding will become the number one crowdfunding company in the world, just around the corner!

And even at this time, the Royal Bank of Scotland has already valued Fairy Crowdfunding at 1.5 billion US dollars. Although we know that Xiao Qi’s company will probably not be sold, everyone can start a billion-dollar company with Xiao Qi’s free hand , I still feel very envious.

A boy genius is a boy genius, he really is extraordinary!

Fairy crowdfunding has become so popular, but in fact, in the United States, there is a website invested by Xiao Qi, which is even more popular than fairy crowdfunding.

It is the Pinterest puzzle website.

Milner is an investor. He does things much more meticulously than Hoffman. He doesn't have that rushing momentum. He has to polish the projects before launching them on the market.

Xiao Qi originally created Pinterest and Fairy Crowdfunding for Milner last year, but Fairy Crowdfunding went live in September, but Pinterest didn’t go live until November.

Now that there are hundreds of social networking sites, Pinqu has only one biggest advantage, and that is the waterfall image loading method.

Its biggest advantage is that you don't need to turn pages to read photos and pictures of the same user, just scroll all the way down, which saves a lot of operating procedures.

Similarly, when you search for pictures of the same type on Pinterest, these pictures and photos will be continuously loaded below, and they are all on the same page, making it very comfortable for you to look at.

Don't underestimate such a picture loading method. What young people hate most is trouble, and what they like most is as simple as possible. Only in this way can they attract them to your website and be interested in continuing to stay.

Pinterest has undoubtedly achieved this, especially among the slightly older college students and young people entering the workplace, it suddenly became popular.

Since Christmas, the unknown Pinterest has jumped to No. 22 in North American social networking sites. After the New Year, Pinterest directly went to No. 10 in North American social networking sites, ahead of which are all big sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Meitu. .

A social networking site that has just started its business for less than three months has managed to grow so fast and capture the hearts of young people in no time, which has puzzled many people in the industry.

But the fact that there are 58 million registered users and 33 million active users is real.

Moreover, the word-of-mouth of Pinterest is particularly good, and those users can’t tell why they like it so much, but they are willing to spend time on it, looking through pictures and photos endlessly, and calling their friends to join in and share together.

Seeing its rapid popularity, even Goldman Sachs couldn't help giving Pinterest a valuation of $2 billion after careful evaluation.

"Its growth space is unimaginable, maybe we have seen another Facebook and Meitu sharing!"

Goldman Sachs said so. (~^~)
