Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Internet age often creates many unexpected super-rich people.

    For example, a young man just wanted to sell an unused pen, so he founded EBAY; for example, he just made a photo sharing system, but it became Instagram, which is popular all over the world; for example, he often forgot to bring a USB flash drive, so he wanted to invent  A network synchronization storage tool, and finally this college student founded this cloud storage company called Dropbox into the number one cloud storage giant with a valuation of tens of billions!

    That¡¯s right.

    After Yang Na's reminder, Xiao Qicai remembered that yesterday when he heard Huangfu Cai talk about the reduction in the space expansion cost of WeChat, a vague thought passed through his mind, that is, a cheaper, more boundless and unrestricted cloud.  Storage tools.

    In the original history of the previous life, there is such a ready-made example, it is Dropbox founded by Andrew Houston!

    Founded in 2007, Dropbox was able to break out from the encirclement of cloud storage giants such as GOOGLE, Microsoft, and Apple. The giant that has always occupied the first place in the cloud storage market share is definitely outstanding in terms of capabilities and marketing methods.

    Compared with the intelligent electronic cloud storage of APPSTORE and WeChat, the main sphere of influence of Dropbox's cloud storage is on computer terminals. In fact, it adheres to the concept founded by Halston and it is a removable USB flash drive.

    As long as you set a designated storage folder through the downloaded Dropbox program, the files you save in this storage folder will be uploaded to Dropbox's cloud storage database simultaneously. When you change a computer, then you only need to  By logging in with your Dropbox account again, you can transfer the files stored in the cloud storage to this new computer.

    If this concept was mentioned in 2013, you would definitely say, "Damn. Isn't this just the cloud folder of 360?"

    But now it is 2008. This concept of cloud storage in Europe and the United States has only slowly begun to develop. It is far from becoming popular around the world. Of course, China has no influence at all.

    The advantage of Dropbox is that it is a software running on a computer, whether it is WINDOWS, LINUX or MAC operating system.  It does not involve the exclusive personal account secrets of APPSTORE, nor does it involve the privacy of WeChat's personal space. The privacy of all folders belongs to individuals and does not conflict with the operating system.

    ? To put it simply.  That is, any computer user can use Dropbox, not just for any purpose, but also for files, videos, letters, etc. Dropbox does not have to be open to everyone like APPSTORE and WeChat.

    Popularizing the public is the biggest advantage of a program, and Dropbox has it.  So then it became popular and became number one in the world.

    Of course, no company is perfect. Apple, known as the "miracle in the history of the smart electronics industry," declined rapidly after the departure of Gang Leader Qiao, and was gradually caught up by Samsung. This is a clear proof.

    Dropbox in the second half of 2013.  The huge lead has begun to slowly disappear. No matter in terms of user experience, price compliance, upload and download speed, GOOGLEDRIVE, which has strong technical support, and Microsoft's SKYDRIVE have caught up, and will never surpass Dropbox within a year or two.  question.

    ???????

    But he didn¡¯t know it at all.  After entering 2010, when the financial crisis subsided, the world changed.

    Everything has become a world where capital is respected.

    Whether it is Microsoft, Apple, GOOGLE, or even giant companies such as Facebook.  Through large-scale capital entry, they directly spent money on their competitors and potential companies, gradually forming real industry monopoly giants.

    In this case, how can a small company like Dropbox have the power to fight against them?

    Others can use better equipment, lower prices, and more adequate services to fight against you, because they have money, but you don¡¯t, so in the end you will either be squeezed out of business, or be acquired by a powerful opponent, and then  There is no third outcome either.

    However, now that Xiao Qi thinks of this cloud storage business, there will be no such thing as Dropbox. In the future, it is impossible for GOOGLE, Microsoft and Apple to surpass Fairy Company's cloud storage company.

    Wait a minute!

    Doesn¡¯t Fairy Company already have APPSTORE¡¯s cloud computing and cloud storage, and even WeChat¡¯s cloud storage space?

    Why build another one? Isn¡¯t that a waste?

    In fact, it is different. Just as Xiao Qi thought before, the previousSome cloud computing and cloud storage are specifically targeted at a certain product program, while the new cloud storage space company has a very simple U disk and hard disk function, and is aimed at computer users, so it is completely different.  Likewise, there is no problem of duplication of functions at all.

    Even Xiao Qi didn't need to go to Andrew Houston, who founded Dropbox. He just had to ask Hoffman to find a group of experts in related industries in Silicon Valley and combine them with the concepts he gave, then the cloud storage company could be successfully established.  .

    It should be said that Xiao Qi now feels that his most capable subordinate should be Mr. Hoffman. He has helped him create three companies, and now he has another company to build, and there will be many more in the future.

    Although Xiao Qi wants to give him some shares, Hoffman's connections in Silicon Valley can ensure that he can invite the most professional talents to Xiao Qi's company. This not only greatly reduces the time spent in the middle, but also  It allows the company to better integrate and quickly grow into a large and impressive company.

    With this plan in mind, Xiao Qi called Huffman as soon as he returned to Jia Yuwen's apartment after separating from Yang Na.

    "Oh, hell! Xiao Qi, don't you know it's 22:00 Western Time in the United States? I'm already asleep!" Hoffman roared on the phone.

    There is a 16-hour difference between the time in the western United States and the capital in the west. But here in New York, which is thousands of kilometers further east, it is already past 1 o'clock in the morning. Tomorrow has already arrived on the left and right sides of Silicon Valley, but it is  Still today, this wonderful time zone division really makes people feel fantasy.

    Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Reed, it's so early, don't be in a hurry to exercise with your wife, I'll talk to you about business!"

    "Can't you call me during the day if something happens?" Hoffman muttered and complained: "You don't know how hard I have worked for your three companies in the past few months. I have lost 20 pounds! My wife has also lost 20 pounds."  I wanted to send you an email to thank you for your contribution to our family!¡±

    "Maybe you can give me a bottle of red wine as a thank you gift." Xiao Qi laughed and said, "Okay, stop complaining. Don't you thank me for adding at least hundreds of millions of dollars to your wealth?"

    "Both companies are still developing, and Airbnb has not yet been launched. The money is just a number and cannot be converted into cash." Hoffman said disdainfully, but the joy in his tone could still be felt.

    "I have a new idea."

    Xiao Qi didn¡¯t care that he was taking advantage of it and acted well, and directly told Hoffman about the idea of ????the cloud storage company.

    Hoffman is indeed the most well-informed person in Silicon Valley. He immediately smiled and said: "Isn't this the idea of ??Dropbox? Do you also want to make money on this simple cloud storage?"

    Dropbox is still a small company, but their ideas are very interesting. Many angel funds in Silicon Valley have taken a fancy to them, and two of them have already invested in Dropbox.

    "What Dropbox picked up was my cloud computing and cloud storage idea. Why didn't you tell me?" Xiao Qi shrugged and said, "Anyway, I think this method of charging for expanded space is definitely very profitable. Because this kind of portable  The portable hard drive space is just in line with people¡¯s current business travel life.¡±

    "Well, since you have that intention, let's do it." Hoffman pondered for a moment and gave his opinion.

    Anyway, Xiao Qi has plenty of money and creativity.

    ¡°For such a smart person, who also has the most personal wealth in the world, it¡¯s no wonder that he doesn¡¯t have much energy to do anything.

    Anyway, Xiao Qi paid for everything. He helped find suitable professional managers, and then the company began to officially open for business. In the end, whether it was life or death depended on the performance of the market and people's acceptance.

    "Reed, do you want to buy some shares?" Xiao Qi asked.

    "Forget it, I'm not interested in this." Hoffman said, "What's more, I still have so many company affairs to be busy with I found that I really haven't rested since I met you.  If you don¡¯t treat me well next time I go to China, I¡¯m really sorry for my hard work!¡±

    After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qi lazily sat on the sofa.

    This cloud storage company named "DreamDrive" by Xiao Qi needs to spend more money in the initial stage and build a cloud storage architecture faster, so that it can quickly occupy the entire market.

    The last thing Xiao Qi lacks is money. A mere investment of one or two billion US dollars is really nothing.

    Having the confidence to have money is just different!
