Chapter 289 I can't afford it
However, Starry Internet still ignored the criticism outside and maintained a steady and steady state. It followed Starry International to open a super on-site search engine to the outside world. It was said to be a search engine on-site, but it actually included dozens of full-site searches in the Starry Internet system, so it is called "super search".
Now the interconnection resources are still relatively limited. The dozens of them in the Starry Internet system are not large in size, but they actually include half of the resources. The resources that can be found on Zhongwang can be basically found through the on-site engine of Starry Internet. Now, it is easy to do a full engine. It is too early to do it. No matter whether it is wide or resources, it cannot carry a real search engine. It is better to control the traffic as much as possible within the Starry Internet system.
Of course, it is only a matter of time before the site search engines are transformed into full engines. The original Baijiahao started from Sina's website search and then transformed into a true search engine.
But the industry is not concerned about this small change. Everyone is concerned about the multiple-choice questions between Starry Sky Internet and Starry Sky International, or the issue of Internet going overseas. Xiangsitongli and Aitexin were originally planning to open an English homepage next year and next year, but because of the guidance of Starry Sky Internet, they launched the English version in advance.
However, although opening an English version is a very simple thing, it is even more difficult to find an excellent general manager of overseas business.
Yi Ruoshui found Wei Shuanghua as the general manager of Starry Sky International and found the best candidate. Wei Shuanghua's performance even exceeded Yi Ruoshui's expectations. Over the past few months, Starry Sky International has maintained a faster growth rate than Starry Sky Internet. Although there is a blank, the easiest reason for the easiest to create performance and limited loyal users, the rapid growth of performance still shows Wei Shuanghua's ability.
Several venture capital institutions that invest in Starry Sky International believe that this growth is not only because of the natural growth and traffic dividends of European and American Internet, but also because of Wei Shuanghua's sincere cooperation with the company's team. If you continue to develop like this, you have to wait for the first half of the year. Starry Sky International's valuation will definitely exceed the 60 million US dollars of Starry Sky Internet.
If no one in China knew about an overseas company like Starry Sky International a few months ago, it has reached a point where its popularity is comparable to Starry Sky Internet. The leaders of Jiangdong Province and Xingzhou City will talk about the example of Starry Sky International going overseas development every time they hold a meeting. Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee even regarded Starry Sky International as the best example of Xingzhou local enterprises developing overseas businesses. Even the Standing Committee publicly said, "Everyone can go, Starry Sky Internet must not go, Starry Sky Internet's headquarters must stay in Xingzhou."
Among all, Wei Shuanghua is not so optimistic. Starry Sky International's barbaric growth has now officially come to an end and has entered a bottleneck period. Although loyal users have begun to have a stable growth, traffic suddenly reaches the upper limit and is difficult to further increase. Moreover, although there is a certain income, it has a loss of one million US dollars every month. The eight million US dollars raised is only enough for at most half a year. Wei Shuanghua feels the situation is not optimistic. She told Yi Ruoshui on the phone: "Xiao Yi, I think it is possible to change to a more restrained publicity and distribution strategy? Now the cash in Starry Sky International may only be enough for half a year to burn."
But Yi Ruoshui reassured Wei Shuanghua: "Sister Shuanghua, don't worry too much. The imperial hegemony was not built in one day. As long as you insist, don't worry, the money on Starry Sky Internet is enough for Starry Sky International to burn for another whole year, and we are already preparing for the final D round of financing. Funding is definitely not a problem. Shuanghua, no matter how you make a choice, I will support you!"
Wei Shuanghua finally felt relieved when he heard Yi Ruoshui's statement: "Then we Xingkong International must at least strive to win the first place in one international market!"
The China Internet faced by Starry Internet is a niche market with only more than one million users. The competition is not fierce enough, and Starry Internet has built a river protection wall early on. No matter how Sitonglifang Aitexin and others are trying, they cannot challenge the advantageous position of Starry Internet. The market faced by Starry International is completely different. This is a mature market with 200 million users, and competition is extremely fierce. Wei Shuanghua has to face many large enterprises of tens of billions of dollars, but Wei Shuanghua has now decided to choose the most difficult challenging path.
In order to provide greater support to Wei Shuanghua, Yi Ruoshui even had to popularize the differences between the two markets, including Xu Jingyi, Guo Huijun and Xia Ziling. "No matter how outstanding Starry Sky International does, it means it occupies an advantageous position and will definitely not be able to achieve a monopoly position. However, now we are in a monopoly position in the domestic market and can continue to monopolize. I have to be glad that there is no anti-monopoly law in China, otherwise we will not be able to complement each other's advantages at home and abroad!"
Xu Jingyi has already understood: "Even if there is an anti-monopoly law, it is not the turn of our medium-sized enterprises like Starry Internet. However, as long as Starry Internet continues like this, we will definitely form a monopoly position. At that time, China will have tens of millions of Internet connections, and we are China's Yahoo and SoftBank."
During this period, Xu Jingyi made up for the course on the Internet and the current situation. She knows the history of Yahoo and SoftBank well, but Yi Ruoshui laughed: "If it is tens of millions of users, it is almost in our eyes. We should consider the issues in ten years, and if we consider the issues in ten years, we must ensure the leading edge of Starry Sky International!"
There are only more than one million in China now. Although the development speed is rapid, many domestic experts think that it will take at least five to ten years to develop to tens of millions of users. However, Yi Ruoshui is obviously more optimistic than these domestic experts. Xu Jingyi can also understand Yi Ruoshui's particular optimism: "Can China develop to tens of millions of users so quickly? Then we must plan abroad as soon as possible."
Xie Yuhong said without waiting for Yi Ruoshui to answer: "Since Yi Ruoshui says that tens of millions of users are close to you, it must be close to you. Now our top priority is not only to do business and support Mr. Wei, the key is to increase the number of votes of NNI. In the June survey, we are not only the first, but also the number of votes is similar to other opponents. In this survey at the end of the year, we must also be far ahead of any opponent, otherwise someone will definitely say our words."
Xie Yuhong is talking about the Internet status survey report released by NNI every six months. Although the last survey report only entered the rhythm of regularization and standardization, the influence of this survey report exceeded everyone's expectations.
If half a year ago, there were less than 1.2 million Chinese households, and the Internet status survey report carried out by NNI was just a small fight, and no one paid much attention to it. Now NNI's name has become a real golden indicator. Whether it is the enemy or allies of Star Internet, they have tried their best to become the number one in the excellent site rankings.
Roger Wei said several times in the circle why he left SSA and even sold all his shares and chose to invest in Starry Internet and even was willing to serve as the chairman of Starry Internet. One of the most important reasons is that Starry Internet ranks first in the Internet investigation report, and the number of votes is exactly twice that of Yahoo. When foreign investors and venture capital institutions consider investment objects, they also refer to the ranking of excellent sites officially released in the investigation report.
At that time, Starry Internet only received over 1,000 votes, but these thousand votes became a valuation of 60 million US dollars and an investment of 1,500 US dollars. After Starry Internet, each Internet company was focused on replicating the successful precedent of Starry Internet. Therefore, this survey and statistics are already a place that military strategists must compete for, and everyone is thinking about changing tricks to make tickets.
Xie Yuhong said this because of this issue, and Xu Jingyi also agreed with Xie Yuhong's view: "You must not lose this list this time. You must try your best to rush up, otherwise we will not be able to explain!"
Yi Ruoshui seems to be more conservative in this issue: "The main thing is to do business. There should be another D round next year, so we have to make a comeback this time at the end of the year, but it is also our last time to participate. We won't have to work so hard that time next June!"
Xia Ziling didn't understand what Yi Ruoshui meant, but Xu Jingyi understood: "I'll officially launch it so soon?"
Yi Ruoshui replied: "The faster the better. Starry Internet must become the first Internet to be listed in the United States to ensure that it is invincible within ten years!"
In addition to foreign investment, Starry Internet naturally has many convenient conditions. When government departments consider issues, they always take into account the foreign investment factors of Starry Internet. However, foreign investment alone is far from being invincible for a long time. They must be the first to be listed in the United States to be truly invincible, and this is not safe. Sina, the first to be listed in the United States, has only maintained an unbeaten golden place for five years.
Xu Jingyi was full of thoughts: "I really didn't expect Starry Internet to launch so soon. I originally thought that it would take at least three or five years to wait, and only Internet will have such a miracle!"
Starry Internet was officially established in June 1997, and it was officially ready to be listed in the United States in less than two years. This is indeed a miracle that Internet can create, but Yi Ruoshui shook his head and said, "We can't afford to delay three to five years. Even if Starry Internet can barely delay, Starry International can't afford to delay. We have enough cash and assets in our hands to own the future!"
