959, cybersquatting domain name
He appeared in the class. At noon, he had an AA restaurant with several roommates in the dormitory in the commercial street. In the afternoon, Wang Bo didn't want to go to the class again. When he returned to the apartment, he began to prepare for the "Starting/Dian/Chinese Network" worth 5 billion yuan after more than ten years of establishment.
When was the founder of the Chinese website established? Wang Bo has no idea. He probably remembers it in 2001 or 2002. The names of several founders still have impressions, such as the treasure blade, the sword sect, Jiangbei, etc. After all, several future online literary circles have once been the bosses of his immediate boss, and they are the big bosses that he can't even look up at.
Wang Bo first checked the Qidian/Chinese website online, but did not find it. He only found something from the "Chinese Fantasy Literature Society" on the West Road BBS Forum.
"What's this?" Wang Bo looked at the English name following the website name: Chinese/Magic/FantasyUnion, and suddenly realized that this is the full name of CMFU?
Any old bookworm who read books early in Qidian/dian/ would probably be familiar with the website www.cmfu.com. Wang Bo, who used to log in to this website almost every day, was always wondering why the "Qidian/dian/Chinese website" was not called "qidian.com", but the "cmfu.com" was strange. Now, seeing the English words Chinese/Magic/FantasyUnion, I suddenly realized it.
"So, the 'Chinese Fantasy Literature Society' is the predecessor of Qidian/Dian/Chinese Network before its establishment?" Wang Bo pinched his chin, and the first thing he thought of was to register the first-level domain name www.qidian.com first.
When he thought of registering domain names, he realized that the websites he could register seemed to be not only Qidian. What he remembered in later generations, many famous Internet giants seemed to have no shadow in 2001. He seemed to be able to register these unborn websites. When the time comes, he would wait for appreciation, either sell them at a high price or invest in the stock, and he would offer them.
Wang Bo remembers it very clearly that two years later, Tengxun spent nearly one million yuan to buy the first-level domain name q/q.com, which is in the hands of Americans. And more than ten years later, Tengxun paid the first-level domain name weixin.com, the price was eight digits and 30 million yuan!
However, compared with the top-level domain name of 360 boss Zhou Hongyi who had to vomit blood and spend 100 million yuan to buy 360.com, it is a big deal.
In addition to the domestic Internet giants that have not yet been established, some foreign ones can also be registered, such as Facebook, which was established in 2004 and Twitter, which was established in 2006, Wang Bo found that they could first register and dig holes, and wait for the big guys to jump down a few years later. If these Internet giants find that someone registers and change their names, such as "Facebook" and "Ear Book", uh, so what? Anyway, he has no losses, except for a slight registration fee.
Think about doing it.
Wang Bo immediately took action and began to query the method of registering the website domain name.
After some inquiry, Wang Bo quickly found China Wanwang, a domain name registration service provider established in 1996. In other words, if you want to register a domain name, you can apply online on this website, which is very convenient.
However, when the excited Wang Bo opened the query bar of Wanwang and checked the Facebook.com, twitter.com, weibo.com, weixin.com, 360.com, and qidian.com he was planning to register, he unexpectedly found that all of these websites had been registered.
"It seems that I am not the only smart person in this world!" Wang Bo tilted his head and sighed sadly, feeling that he had lost at least several hundred million. Later, he also listed some domain names to be registered, but he was too lazy to check them if he was not as famous as the first few.
This is how you register a domain name. You can have fast hands and no hands. You can do anything at all. After a slower pace, Wang Bo was very depressed and had to give up the domain name temporarily and start to contact several founders of /dian Chinese.com.
There is a contact information on the forum of the "Chinese Fantasy Literature Society", but it's an email address. I don't know if it's a dead email address or a live email address. Wang Bo thought he would pay attention. Not to mention the current book reading forums like Qidian, which are affiliated with other people's websites, even some book sites with their own websites are mostly personal book sites, co-founded by a group of novel enthusiasts and creators who don't have much money, and they are all unable to make a profit, so they can't afford to hire people. The founder himself is an employee and he does it himself.
Wang Bo wrote according to the email address on the forum, and did not turn around the bush, directly pointing out his identity, saying that he was Wang Bo and Wang Zi'an, and was very interested in their literary discussions and wanted to cooperate with them. There are two ways to cooperate. One is that he invested 50,000 yuan to purchase the current resources of the "Chinese Fantasy Literature Society". Several of their founders left with the money they acquired.
The second type is that he invested 500,000 yuan, only acquiring 90% of the shares of the "Chinese Fantasy Literature Society". The remaining 10% will be divided by their founders, and they become partners. Everyone leaves Xilu, starts a new job, buys servers and sets up a separate website, then registers a company, rolls up their sleeves and makes a big move. The startup capital of the startup, including the salary of several people, all goes from the 500,000 yuan. If it is not enough, he will continue to invest according to the situation in the future. Wang Bo promised that no matter how much he invests, whether it is one million or ten million, he will retain 5% of the undiluted shares for the founder team.
The purchase price of 50,000 yuan is a price code that Wang Bo gave after careful consideration.
In December 1999, Duolami Chinese Network acquired 16 of the top 20 personal websites in the Huaxia personal website rankings for RMB 4 million, including Golden Bookstore, China Football Network, Haikuotiankong Download, Xiaolin Guangji and other famous domestic websites. On average, the purchase price of each personal website is only 250,000. But don’t forget that these 16 websites are the top 20 personal websites in China, and their popularity and influence are far beyond their current starting point. Moreover, the network environment in 2001 was much worse than that in 1999, when the Internet bubble had not yet completely burst, and advertising revenue was greatly reduced, and there was no advertisement at all. Many websites, especially those who could not attract them.
The personal websites you invest in are completely burning your own money to support them. The reason is very simple. If you want to open a website, you need space. After the Internet bubble burst in 2000, most of the free space disappeared, and earlier personal websites were closed one after another. Personal websites either hug the thighs and rent other people's spaces, such as the earliest starting point, Long/Chong, Baizhan, Tian/Ying, etc., which were very popular novel forums such as the beginning, they hug the thighs and rent the spaces on the thighs of the West Road; or you pay for the independent servers yourself. But buying independent servers in 2001 was like calling them to buy a BMW or Mercedes-Benz. Unless there were suspicions similar to venture capital investment, it was almost impossible.
Secondly, Wang Bo was also worried that his bid was too high. A few "young men" who were no longer a few years older than him had a greed attack. He lost all his fighting spirit and divided the money and enjoyed his life. Then he really wanted to cry without tears. After all, whether he invested in training, starting point, or other Internet high-tech companies in the future, he did not want to do it himself and work hard, but just wanted to be a hand-off man, and at most he made suggestions on strategy and overall situation. Of course, this was limited to the company he controlled. The 5% original shares he offered to several "young men" that were never diluted was also to keep the talents and drive him to work hard.
The original stock of 5% will also be 250 million yuan based on the sky-high purchase price of Tengxun for Shanda's 5 billion yuan in more than ten years. At present, there are only two or three founders at most, and they will divide it up, and everyone is also a billionaire.
In the future, if there are new talents worth retaining to join, Wang Bo will also take out a portion of the shares and give option rewards to retain important talents for the company.
The good price, future guarantee, and most importantly, the celebrity aggregation effect generated by the famous celebrity aggregation effect caused by the genius boy holding the platform. Wang Bo believes that as long as the founders of Qidian are not stupid and a little ambition, they should know how to choose when facing his two choices.
As for what if no one of the few people chooses, he said NO to the olive branch he had thrown out, uh, Wang Bo never thought of this possibility at all.
But it’s not too late to think about it now. If these people refuse his temptation and want to start a business by themselves and establish a foundation that will never change forever, Wang Bo will have to start a new business, either acquire or build it on his own. There are not too many personal book stations now, and then use capital to teach those blind "little young people" to be human, so that they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
