Song Anlan carefully studied "Grab a Parking Space" and "Friend Buying and Selling", and found that when the game was launched, it was when Mai Mai was stuck in a bottleneck and user growth was slow.
Two inconspicuous games were hugely successful, helping Maimai break through its bottleneck and become the second largest instant messaging software.
Thinking about Facebook again, why should we build an open platform?
Because Facebook's user growth has also slowed down, it is now only open to college students. How many college students are there in the United States?
21 million!
Facebook has more than 30 million users, and the United States has almost sucked them all away. Global rollout will take time and cannot be achieved overnight, so Zuckerberg has also reached the stage of breaking through the bottleneck.
Song Anlan compared it repeatedly and found that the two had the same idea: they both borrowed other programs to add gameplay to the community to attract users—but Yao Yuan made it clear that this program was a social game!
Moreover, he also discovered that Yao Yuan's thinking and execution ability were really ahead of Facebook in every aspect, which made elites who graduated from Tsinghua University in the 1980s and studied in the United States and were accustomed to looking down on their motherland very uncomfortable.
Of course, out of the integrity of an investor, Song Anlan gave a detailed report to Son.
Sun Zhengyi only cares about three things: the community is the global Internet investment hot spot, and it will definitely not lose money; Maiwo is the largest in China; Yao Yuan promised to go public in the future.
over!
Masayoshi Son's style is to be sure to spend money and habitually play - just like betting on Argentina.
Song Anlan received the instruction and went back to talk to Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan talked about the plan for social games and quickly reached an agreement.
So in late May, some news quietly emerged:
"It is reported that SoftBank is preparing to purchase 20% of the equity of Maiwo Community, and the asking price is likely to reach an astonishing US$1 billion!"
"Yahoo previously invested US$1 billion in Alibaba, but the nature of this investment is different. It is said that Yao Yuan directly transferred his equity. This act of obtaining a large amount of funds may be related to the research and development of Meizu mobile phones."
"After the Internet winter ended, e-commerce once became the most popular investment project. In recent years, community websites represented by Facebook and Maiwo have used dazzling amounts of capital to announce the birth of another trend."
The Internet exploded instantly!
What is the concept of 1 billion U.S. dollars? That’s 7.6 billion yuan!
According to last year's China Forbes ranking, Yao Yuan was ranked 16th, not counting other assets. Counting only this amount, he was ranked 16th. The top is Xu Ming of Dalian Shide, and the bottom is Chen Lihua of Fuhua Group, the one who married Tang Monk
old lady.
The first is Huang Guangyu of Gome, with assets of 18 billion.
NetEase's Ding Lei dropped to 1.286 billion; Ma Ma ranked 3.542 billion; Lao Ma ranked 7.628 billion; Wang Jianlin only ranked 9.125 billion.
People online were mentally prepared for it, but they were still shocked by the price. Some netizens really couldn't accept it, and started to criticize some people:
“I actually sold it to a Japanese, deleted my account and left!”
"What did Commander Yao think? Even if you sell it to the Americans, I'm so disappointed!"
"I didn't expect that Commander Yao would also become a traitor. Goodbye!"
At this time, Yao Yuan no longer cares about these remarks. He only posted a message saying that he would "fully support Meizu's mobile phone business!"
To be honest, he has laid so much ground for himself. If he waits for the day when mobile phones come out, he will be able to become a saint online and enjoy thousands of incense.

Big Northeast, small county town.
Yao Yuemin and Yuan Liping have been cautious at work these days. Perhaps it is an illusion. They always feel that even a dog on campus will look at them with probing, envious, jealous and flattering looks.
"Teacher Yao!"
"Hey, Teacher Yao, you are in good spirits today!"
"Lao Yao, are you free tonight? Let us two have a drink? It's been a long time since I drank!"
I’ve never had a drink with you!
Yao Yuemin secretly complained. Just after class, on his way back to the office, his colleagues responded with extreme enthusiasm. He had no choice but to have his son's big photo printed on major online platforms and newspapers.
The title scared me so much that I saw it was so titty!
"The youngest billionaire in China was born, with assets of nearly 10 billion at the age of 27!"
He thought it was fun at first, but when he saw how big our family was, the couple's reaction was not excitement, but fright, which was far beyond their understanding.
"Leap people!"
"Come on, come on!"
As soon as he reached the door of the office, Yao Yuemin was blocked by the vice principal again, who enthusiastically pulled him to the principal's office.
"What's the matter? I have classes later?"
"Oh, you can let the class go first. There's something good going on..."
The vice-principal was mysterious and whispered: "Someone from the county is here, specially coming to visit you!"
"County?"
Yao Yuemin suddenly thought, the county magistrate asked for investment???
Although this is his hometown, his first reaction was: throw an egg! I have to pretend to be stupid.
…
Zhongguancun, Maiwo Mall Building.
Most of the staff have moved here, and some people are still doing finishing work in Tuanjie Lake. This building also has more than 20 floors. It is of better quality than Yingshi Building, but it is more expensive. It cost more than one billion to acquire it.
In an inconspicuous office on a certain floor, a sign has been hung: "Maimai Payment Network Technology Co., Ltd.!"
Liu Qiangdong is speaking: "It is mainly used for all businesses of 99 Group and is not open to the public for the time being, so everyone does not have to have operational pressure. It is better to do a good job in technology than anything else.
I won’t rush you, it’s okay to launch it by the end of the year, it’s okay to launch it next year, but if users give feedback that it’s not good, I’ll settle the score with you!”
Maimai Pay was established because "the person" Yao Yuan was looking for responded to the letter and was willing to provide support. The timing of the reply was also coincidental, just two days after the announcement of SoftBank's share purchase.
…
The set of "The King of Kung Fu".
Liu Yifei has just joined the cast, and while they are filming, Liu Xiaoli is on the phone with her godfather surnamed Chen, which is very unbelievable.
"When they came to me a month ago, there was no big deal like this. In the blink of an eye, it was worth 1 billion U.S. dollars! That's 1 billion U.S. dollars!"
"I know I know!"
Godfather Chen's tone was not pleasant. He was in the real estate business and was one of the best businessmen in the Beijing area, but real estate had not yet taken off completely and was not as good as the upstarts on the Internet.
"Those who are engaged in the Internet are all upstarts, empty shell companies, backed by foreign capital, and are trying to make trouble in the country, but ordinary people still accept this trick."
He said with a bit of sourness: "But after all, it is there. Since you take the initiative to ask Qianqian to film, you should have a better attitude and wink."
"I understand, which one is better between 99 Entertainment and Huayi?"
"Huayi is a tavern and prostitute, not worth mentioning. Although the boss of 99 Entertainment has some style problems, they are not serious."
"Oh, okay, hang up first."
Liu Xiaoli inquired and understood. Seeing that her daughter was still filming, she thought for a while and simply dialed a number again. Without saying a word, she smiled and said: "Mr. Yu, you are busy... It's nothing important. I just want to ask about "Zhu Xian"
Time to start?
Our Sissi can free up her schedule so as not to delay your play..."
