- On the day Bu'er was born, Xiao Qi bought Skype. ~,
This American version of WeChat has one more function than WeChat, which is the function of phone calls.
With Skype, you can not only chat, video, text chat, and transfer files, but you can also make calls to landlines, mobile phones, and domestic and foreign calls.
Of course, you need to pay for making calls, but this fee is far lower than the normal call fee, almost 10% of the price.
And if the person you want to contact also has a Skype account, then even if you are not in the same country, the calls between you are free.
This feature is hailed as the biggest challenge to the traditional communications industry and one of the important reasons for the rise of Skype.
But for eBay under the financial crisis, Skype is still a subsidiary with serious losses. The profits it creates are not proportional to its losses, and the burden is very serious. Therefore, under the lobbying of the Blackstone Group, they All Skype was sold to Xiao Qi for US$2.8 billion.
After Xiao Qi took over Skype, he didn¡¯t do much, but it was very important.
First, he found several elites with network experience from a headhunting company and asked them to join the senior management team, which was regarded as bringing innovation to the team.
Second, Xiao Qi insisted on acquiring patents and intellectual property rights so that Skype could actively build its own p2p network.
The p2p network is the abbreviation of peer-to-peer, which means "partner to partner".
Specifically in Skype, as long as the p2p network is built, people who use Skype no longer need to transfer various messages and files through the Skype website server. Instead, two or several users can send messages and files to each other. document.
Such an approach. It makes communication between users easier and ensures the privacy of their communication, which will make more users like Skype and use Skype.
Third, Xiao Qi announced that he would develop a new revenue stream, which is to vigorously develop the phone function of Skype. Expand business between Europe and the United States, allowing more people to abandon their original mobile phone and landline phone bills and use cheaper Skype calls.
To this end, Skype will establish its own marketing network in 28 countries in Europe and the United States within half a year to sell more phone cards.
At the same time, Xiao Qi also announced the introduction of paid video services, and everyone is welcome to shoot the best videos. Upload it to the Skype network and set the viewing fee to earn income.
WeChat¡¯s emoticon package policy has also been implemented among Skype users. Not only are there official emoticon packages, but users can also set their own emoticon packages and upload them to earn download revenue.
The fourth one, Xiao Qi announced. Skype will cooperate with Internet giants such as Microsoft, Google, HoSeGirl, AEBOOK, Titter, etc., allowing Skype to use their technology. And realize the sharing of user account information on these websites to become a more open and harmonious platform.
The fifth thing is the most important. After Xiao Qi announced these strategies, he transferred a huge sum of US$1 billion into Skype's account, stating that he hoped that Skype could use the money in a planned and purposeful manner within one year. Light. Lay a solid foundation for Skype to become a century-old store.
At that time, Skype¡¯s senior executives were on their knees.
They were originally dissatisfied with Xiao Qi parachute several high-level officials to seize power, but now their eyes and hearts are all about 1 billion US dollars, and they can't see anything else at all.
You know, after so many years on eBay, the US dollars in their hands was only 500 million. And there are so many in total!
Now the world¡¯s richest man wants them to use it up within a year
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
"The days of Internet upstarts and tycoons are finally over with Skype!"
As the founding team, they had many ideas and many experiments, but they were not carried out due to limited funding.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out to have their sufficient funds to serve Skype, but eBay is also a stingy man, after several years, there is no investment at all, it is completely blind.
Now that it has been resold to the world¡¯s richest man, life is completely different.
Look at this, they have to use up 1 billion US dollars within a year, how generous and generous they are!
The middle and lower-level employees of Skype are also very happy, because Xiao Qi also gave everyone a salary increase.
Although the increase is only about 10%, in this financial crisis, not only are there no layoffs, but the salary can be increased, which is already very satisfying.
The senior executives have funds to operate, and the middle and lower levels have received salary increases. With everyone working together, the company has naturally developed smoothly in the past few months.Smooth flow, very fast.
For example, the most intuitive improvement is that the number of Skype users has increased to 380 million. Among them, users of several major partner websites and people who log in to Skype with the same account exceed 13 million.
The call score, which best reflects performance, also increased by 39% compared with the same period last year.
The total amount of recharge cards sold during the same period also exceeded 700 million US dollars, far exceeding market expectations.
At the same time, Skype's various service upgrades have also had very good results. According to surveys, their user stickiness has increased by 17%, even surpassing AE wave OK in the same period, second only to Titter and Ho. Sexy girl.
In just over two months, Skype has made such an immediate change, which surprised everyone.
Most people don¡¯t credit the Skype team, but the genius boy¡¯s strategy and gold-dollar policy.
If Xiao Qi hadn't carried out such drastic reforms in various measures, if Xiao Qi hadn't thrown out 1 billion US dollars during this financial crisis, how could Skype have changed so much?
Investment banks, including Goldman Sachs, are all envious of Xiao Qi for having so much cash in his hands that he can support him in completing so many corporate reforms.
According to Wall Street¡¯s calculations, the person with the most cash flow in the world should be Xiao Qi.
Under the financial crisis, the smart electronics industry is like Noah's Ark, not affected at all.
As the leader of the smart electronics industry, Fairy Company¡¯s profits are getting higher and higher, and Xiao Qi has no habit of spending money randomly. Each investment is limited, and he does not spend money lavishly.
The only few large-scale investments were for disaster relief, but they only cost no more than US$12 billion.
Therefore, they believe that Xiao Qi should have more than 160 billion US dollars in cash. No one can calculate whether he holds US dollars, RMB, Japanese yen, and euros. It is estimated that the strongest RMB and Japanese currencies are used. Yuan mostly.
But just relying on Xiao Qi¡¯s several transactions and the sales of each dream pad, dream sta, and dream sno, they can roughly calculate it.
The only difficulty facing Wall Street is that Xiao Qi has made the cost and profit data of Dream Pad, Dream Sta, and Dream Sno very secretive, and he has divided his various income into many parts, such as patent fees, For example, it is divided according to the tax systems of each country, and then transferred back and forth among several financial free zones, split and merged, etc Anyway, analysts are confused.
Because of this, the US$160 billion they estimated for Xiao Qi is relatively conservative.
But even this number has aroused the covetousness of countless investors and entrepreneurs.
Especially entrepreneurs who want to be successful.
They covet not only the huge cash flow in Xiao Qi¡¯s hands, but also Xiao Qi¡¯s reputation as the ¡°King of Investments¡±.
There is a saying circulating in Silicon Valley and Wall Street.
"Once Xiao Qi is ready to invest in or acquire your company, congratulations, your company will be on the road to rapid development."
Putting aside the distance, doesn¡¯t the current skype prove Xiao Qi¡¯s excellent vision?
Although Xiao Qi only spent 2.8 billion U.S. dollars to purchase Skype, if this momentum continues, it will only take a year or two for Skype to exceed the market value of 10 billion U.S. dollars, right?
But envy cannot come from envy.
First of all, you must have Xiao Qi¡¯s financial resources to support the development of Skype without any restrictions and to conquer cities and territories without any scruples.
¡°Then you also need Xiao Qi¡¯s sharp mind, so that you can plan the most correct path for Skype and let them continue to integrate and develop.
And these two conditions are not available to ordinary people.
Therefore, the success of Skype does not belong to eBay, but to Xiao Qi.
?Indeed.
A company with a market value of just over 50 billion U.S. dollars and less than one-third of Xiao Qi¡¯s cash flow can expect them to be as outstanding as Xiao Qi and achieve the same victory?
However, for Wall Street and Silicon Valley, the more interested they are in Xiao Qi¡¯s investment, the more competition Xiao Qi will encounter in the future for the company he wants to buy.
¡° There may not be too many easy acquisitions like this now.
But Xiao Qi didn¡¯t care.
His main business has always been the smart electronics industry. In this aspect, his layout has been almost perfected for a long time. Other investments can be made if he can, or if he can't, forget it.
After all, it is impossible for people to take advantage of all the benefits.You have to learn to be content! (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
