Chapter Seven Hundred and Thirteen: I Am Not a Casual Person

"Benhard, you shouldn't throw out this wet lithography theory in advance."

"Mr. Zhang, I think this is an opportunity for us."

"Then you should be clear about how much each company spends on dry lithography technology. If you throw out the wet theory now, almost no company will consider entering."

"Dry lithography has entered the bottle shank, and it is very difficult to go from 190 nanometers to 150 nanometers. But our wet lithography, if we can solve the technical problems, our wet lithography technology can be developed all the way to 10 nanometers, Even 5 nanometers."

"It's all theoretical. It's not necessarily possible in practice. And we're going to have to spend at least $10 billion for wet lithography, $10 billion, and it's not just that we can't come up with that money, Other lithography machine companies can't come up with this money."

"I hope that all companies can cooperate."

"So you threw out this theory at the Global Chip Development Conference?"

TSMC, Zhang Zhongmou and Lin Ben had a difficult quarrel.

It's not that Zhang Zhongmou can't see the market for wet lithography technology, but the risk is too great for him to make up his mind.

At the same time, he was a little angry at Lin Benjian's practice of throwing out the wet lithography theory without telling him in advance.

He thought that Lin Benjian was too bookish.

How can things be so simple in business.

Originally, according to his ideas, if the conditions were right, they could enter.

Of course, it may take some time for this condition to be suitable, and this time may be ten years later.

But that's okay.

Ten years in the chip field is nothing.

But now Lin Benjian threw out this wet theory all of a sudden, but all of a sudden, countless people put their eyes here.

This is simply a general.

Zhang Zhongmou is not good at advancing or retreating.

"Mr. Zhang, we should make up our minds."

"you need to know,

We are just a chip foundry, not a lithography machine manufacturer. "

"I know, but our chip foundry accounts for more than 80% of the world's share. Lithography machine technology is really important to our foundry efficiency."

"This is not something you consider. In addition, Benjian, although your theory is very good, you have not completed some key indicators."

"Don't worry about this, I will definitely be able to make breakthroughs in these indicators. But..."

"Then let's wait until you get these metrics."

Interrupted Lin Benjian to continue.

Zhang Zhongmou knew that for a technical madman like Lin Benjian, he could not convince Lin Benjian.

In fact, Zhang Zhongmou doesn't really want to engage in wet style.

Although wet seems to be more developed, there is still a huge market for dry lithography today.

As a businessman, it is impossible for him to give up the current market to pursue that extremely risky field.

...

"60 million registrations, 40 million monthly active users, and 20 million daily access IPs..."

No one can believe that this is the result of a week of friends.

Within a week, the number of registered users of Friends.com broke from the original 30 million to 60 million.

At the same time, the number of Yuefeng and the daily active population is also rapidly increasing.

Such metrics, in terms of sign-ups, are already on par with Facebook.

From the point of view of active members, Friends Network has completely surpassed Facebook.

And the most important thing in this is the function called "Take a pat" developed by Friends.com.

This feature is nothing short of a miracle within the Internet.

His appearance once shocked countless bigwigs in the circle, and even shocked Wall Street.

Because they have never seen a website with such a powerful spread.

Such efforts surpassed that of Netscape and even Yahoo.

Although friends network can not be compared with some Internet giants such as Yahoo, Amazon and Google.

But if they can maintain this explosive growth, Friends.com is the next Internet giant.

"Chen Yu, I think the valuation of your friends network can reach 2 billion US dollars."

"No, our Tiger Fund values ​​you at $2.5 billion."

"$2.5 billion? Our Morgan valuation of Friends is $3 billion."

A dramatic turn came.

At that time, John of Bain Capital was only willing to give Friends.com a valuation of $500 million.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the valuation of Friends.com has suddenly increased by 6 times.

If it is someone who doesn't know the truth, I'm afraid they will feel that the Internet bubble has come again.

But the dot-com bubble of 2000 was long past.

After this Internet bubble, everyone has a better understanding of the Internet.

The 3 billion valuation of Friends.com is not high.

Although they know that Friends Network is still not profitable.

But it doesn't matter.

The important thing is the growth of the friend network.

It's just that Chen Yu did not accept the quotations from a group of capitals.

Not accepting is not wanting them to invest.

He is a friend network just to embrace capital and tie these capitals together.

He did not accept it just because the quotations for these capitals were too low.

Just like the first time they gave themselves a $500 million offer.

Even if it is now 6 times higher, Chen Yu thinks it is too low.

It's just that Chen Yu's side did not accept offers from a group of capital for the time being, but Facebook on the other side was completely panicked.

"Sheila, do you know what this pat does?"

"Well, I don't know."

"Edward, you know what?"

"I……"

"Weiqi, how about you?"

"I do not know how to say it?"

"Then I don't know, Rupert, what do you mean by this one shot?"

"actually……"

What does it mean to take a pat?

What does he do.

So far not everyone can tell.

It's just, whether it's clear or not, they know that this is a hit.

No matter how boring, brainless, or even meaningless he looks.

However, you just can't stop patting others silently like others.

Still, Facebook employees aren't stupid after all.

At first they didn't understand, but soon they analyzed the core reason for taking a shot.

The reason for this is the hormones between men and women.

Countless experts have made investigations.

In the Internet, what are users most interested in?

Some people say it's instant messaging, some people say it's playing games, some people say it's listening to music, some people say it's something else, and so on.

but……

Sorry, neither.

Although everyone plays these a lot, this is not what they are most interested in.

What are you most interested in?

That's the hormones between men and women.

As for why this is the answer.

It's actually simple.

Almost every day, more than 30% of the search volume on search engines is related to hormones.

Can you imagine, with so much search volume, what is behind him?

And when someone unlocks Pai Yipai, then thousands of traffic will explode completely.

Of course, if Friends.com is just an 18-ban website, it is also impossible for him to attract countless users to register in a short period of time. There are too many bans in the world, you can have as many as you want. Although everyone has demand for these sites, they will not stay there forever.

But friends network is an exception.

He is not an 18-ban website.

But he hints to you in another way.

Well, it's not that the site is suggesting to you, it's the user's self-awakening.

It's just that even though you find out the peculiarity of this website, you won't regard it as an 18-ban website.

This is a very serious social networking site.

Moreover, although there is a pat, but your behavior is too vulgar, I'm sorry, you may not achieve your goal.

then.

In their eyes, the friend network has become a serious and serious looking website, in fact, he is very serious, but you can actually come to a serious website that is not serious.

Then, the users he attracted will become like this.

When I was serious, I was an ordinary friend network user.

I will upload pictures on it, post logs, and share all kinds of interesting things with others.

When I'm not serious, I turn on my pat-a-pat function and keep looking for the object I like.

In a classic phrase, that is.

I am not a casual person.

I'm not a person when I get up.

Constantly switching between casual and non-casual, this keeps Friends from becoming a hormone-only site.

But between casual and not casual, he has become the most dynamic social networking site.
