Huang Xin took the laptop, turned it on, and started operating it skillfully.
Lin Fan didn't have to wait long before a webpage with a logo called "Xiaonei.net" appeared in front of him.
Lin Fan stared at the webpage intently. The familiar UI interface, but because it was all in Chinese, made him feel strange.
Huang Xin, Wang Huiwen and others all focused on Lin Fan's face, looking forward to it with a hint of uneasiness, eager to be recognized, and a little worried about being scolded.
What are you scolding? Scold them for plagiarism.
The few employees who were busy just now stopped what they were doing and peeked aside.
They saw several bosses of the company sitting in front of the computer with a young man, all with serious expressions. They were not sure what was going on, but they guessed it was definitely not a trivial matter.
There was silence in the converted office in the living room, everyone was waiting for Lin Fan to speak.
Lin Fan said nothing, waved his hand, indicating to Huang Xin to let go, and took the mouse over himself.
Under the gazes of several people, Lin Fan began to operate.
He first logged out of Huang Xin's account, switched to the registration page, and started to register a school network account.
In each space, Lin Fan needed to fill in his real name, the school he was in or attended, major, gender, age, year of admission, personal hobbies and other information. Lin Fan filled in all of them one by one.
I also randomly opened Baidu, searched for a picture, uploaded it to the registration page, and used it as an avatar.
Just when he clicked to confirm the registration, the registration failed, and the page kept prompting: The information is incorrect.
Huang Xin smiled slightly and said, "Considering the accuracy of the account identity, we restrict the registration of users with specific university IP addresses or university email addresses.
Stanford University does not allow registration yet, and the IP here is not included in the system."
Lin Fan glanced sideways at Huang Xin, who lowered his head in shame. This was also copied from Facebook.
Lin Fan finally spoke, with a calm tone: "Let the backend make some changes. I'll try to register an account."
So Huang Xin called to the programmer who was looking around at the workstation next to him. After receiving the order, the programmer immediately released the restrictions in the background.
Soon, Lin Fan successfully registered.
After logging into the website, Lin Fan began to carefully observe and experience each interface and function of the website.
Just now Huang Xin just clicked on the interface a few times casually, as if he was just looking at things in a quick glance, without looking at them carefully and appropriately.
Lin Fan personally operated and experienced it for ten minutes, and finally confirmed that this was a pixel-level replica of Facebook.
In addition to having a personal homepage with personal photos and detailed information, users can also write diaries, and also have a photo album, hobby groups, and message functions, all of which are included.
The only thing it doesn't have is the video album and information flow functions.
Lin Fan pursed his lips and smiled, "Where are the video albums and information streams?"
Huang Xin didn't know why Lin Fan asked this, so he could only answer honestly: "The video album is being studied, but it is found that the bandwidth needs to be increased, and there is some financial difficulty.
Information flow, users don’t have it yet, we can only wait for it to gradually increase later.”
Lin Fan nodded. These two functions were relatively laborious for the newly established school network team. One was funding and the other was technology.
"When do you plan to go online?"
Lin Fanxian glanced at Huang Xin, Wang Huiwen and others.
Huang Xin felt relieved when he saw that Lin Fan had no intention of blaming or accusing him. He knew that Lin Fan was a broad-minded person.
Huang Xin said with a smile: "It has been almost a month since the initial version was developed, and we are still polishing and improving the product.
It’s still summer vacation, so it’s not a good time to market.
We plan to officially launch it in a week and open registration to three universities: Peking University, Tsinghua University and Renmin University of China."
Lin Fan nodded slightly. It made sense to choose to promote online after school started. It would not be easily exposed and maximize the promotion effect.
"When did you start developing this school network?"
Huang Xin replied seriously: "We started to form a team in March, started development in April, developed the first version in early July, and have been polishing it until now."
Lin Fan raised his head and looked at the ceiling, rolled his eyes, recalled it, and asked with a smile: "Did you hear about Bill Gates investing in Facebook at that time?"
Huang Xin smiled "hehe" and said, "Mr. Lin, I can't hide anything from you.
But we are not purely speculative. When we started development in April, foreign countries began to refute the rumors again, saying that Microsoft did not invest in Facebook at all, but that Bill Gates just invited you to dinner.
But we didn’t stop development because of this. Who knew news would come out in June that Microsoft really invested US$250 million.”
Hearing this, several employees nearby didn't dare to express their anger. Bill Gates invited him to dinner and invested 250 million US dollars. What kind of god did the boss invite?
Someone took a closer look at Lin Fan's face, searched on Baidu, and finally confirmed that he really invited a god!
Lin Fan smiled. Facebook and Bill Gates came into contact in March. He asked Gates to delay financing for two months, rolled out the advertising system, and gave Facebook a valuation of tens of billions of dollars.
The throne. Shao Dai Xiaoyu website
People in China who are interested in starting a business in the SNS social field should be paying attention to this news.
Facebook was launched at the end of August 2002, but in 2003, it was almost overtaken by the dating network.
At this time, Youyoumi, Yiyou, and Heyyou all copied the dating network and launched it on a large scale at the beginning of last year.
By the second half of last year, with the successful launch of the oil pipeline, the situation had completely reversed.
This year, Facebook completed another huge round of financing from Microsoft, establishing its leading position in the industry in one fell swoop.
Not only Huang Xin, but also Liu Jian and Rao Lei all regretted it and felt that they had copied the wrong answer from the beginning.
Lin Fan remembered that the school network was only launched around the end of 2005 or the beginning of 2006. Perhaps because of himself, the time was several months ahead of schedule.
"Then you have to hurry up. I guess not only the campus network, but also a large number of campus social networking sites are already on their way."
Lin Fan is not boasting. Someone will definitely think of copying Facebook's successful path, and what he thinks of is not just one or two people, but a group of swarms.
"Isn't that true?"
Huang Xin frowned, "Facebook is no longer limited to campus social networking. It was completely open to everyone to register as early as last year.
Our campus network has no big ambitions, we just want to be able to socialize on campus safely and serve the 17 million college students in the country."
Lin Fan laughed "haha" and said, "It's easy for you to think. Domestic SNS has developed to the point where it is currently half-dead. Some people will definitely reflect on the reasons.
Facebook, on the other hand, has successfully blazed a trail, first expanding its base in universities and then extending to the whole society.
Regardless of whether Xiaonei.com only focuses on campus social networking, there will definitely be people who enter the campus with the idea of "serving the entire community in the future, and temporarily doing campus social networking".
Doesn’t this conflict with you, do you understand?”
At this time, not only Huang Xin, but also everyone in the room frowned, thinking about when the potential enemy would come out and in what form.
This casts a shadow over the future of the school network, which has not yet been officially launched.
Huang Xin was the first to recover from this pessimistic mood, and said with a stern expression: "No matter what the future holds, the school network has been developed, and we will do our best to promote it.
As for the future, let time decide!”
Wang Huiwen and others nodded. After working hard for half a year, it was impossible to surrender without firing a shot.
At the same time, they are still a little suspicious of Lin Fan's motives. Is this disrupting our military morale?
"Mr. Lin, you said Facebook will not enter China within a few years. Is this true?"
Without waiting for Lin Fan's reply, Huang Xin added with a serious expression: "Just say it, it's okay, we can bear it."
Lin Fan opened his mouth. He couldn't tell if he had really jumped into the Yellow River. It felt like all social entrepreneurs in China were afraid of him.
I don’t know if Brother Xiaoma is afraid of me?
"Chen Yizhou just asked me two days ago, and now you ask me again, do you have to force me to move Facebook to China to feel at ease?"
Lin Fan was also completely speechless, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if Facebook wanted to enter China, it would have already entered. I am also in China now. If I don't enter at this time, I will wait for you to grow and develop."
Re-enter?"
It makes some sense!
Huang Xin nodded secretly and wanted to ask again, but Lin Fan stopped him with a wave of his hand.
Seeing Lin Fan's impatient look, Huang Xin simply stopped asking and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, Xiaonei.com and Facebook are highly benchmarked. I think this project has a high chance of success. Do you want to vote for it?"
Pen?"
Lin Fan smiled. He was such a high standard. He could talk about plagiarism in such a fresh and refined way. This young man has a bright future!
Wang Huiwen and others were also looking at Lin Fan's face, wondering if it was too rash?
It’s not just that you copied someone else’s work, you also have to ask someone to invest in you.
Only Huang Xin can do this kind of thing.
Lin Fan was silent for a moment and took a long breath, "Sorry! I can't vote for you!"
After hearing this, Wang Huiwen and others were disappointed, but also felt that it was normal. How could there be such a generous person in this world.
Huang Xin was the only one with a puzzled look on his face. He struggled with his mouth and couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
"Although I can't invest in the school network, I can lend you a sum of money!"
Just when Huang Xin felt that there was no chance, Lin Fan suddenly said this again, which ignited new hope in the former's heart.
Huang Xin was lost in thought for a few seconds, then subconsciously smiled and tried to shirk, "How could this happen!"
Lin Fan said "Oh" and shook his head: "Then forget it!"
Huang Xin wished he could give himself a slap in the face, for he would be wrong if he spoke too much!
While complaining in his heart that Lin Fan didn't play according to the routine, he said with a playful smile: "Mr. Lin, hehehe, I was actually just joking. If you are willing to lend me money, it means that you like me, Lao Huang. I
If you really refuse, it will hurt your feelings."
Wang Huiwen and others were stunned. Is this still the old Huang they are familiar with?
Why is a person who is usually so arrogant, so glib and philistine in front of Lin Fan right now?
That's right, compared with talent, wealth, and age, Lao Huang is all at a disadvantage and cannot be proud.
Lin Fan chuckled, "Okay, I'm just kidding you, is it enough to lend you one million?"
"Dollars?"
Huang Xin rolled his eyes and asked very shamelessly.
Lin Fan said angrily, "RMB! Do you want love or not? Don't pull me down."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Huang Xin nodded like garlic, with a smile on his face.
One million yuan is not a small amount for them.
You must know that the start-up capital of Xiaonei Network is only 300,000 yuan. It took a few of them to scrape the east wall to pay for the west wall.
For this reason, several partnership brothers also incurred debts.
His family is well off, and if he really reaches out to his father to ask for money, it is not difficult to get a million.
But with his stubborn personality, he must prove his ability and does not want to gnaw at his old age.
Lin Fan's one million was borrowed based on his ability, and it was two different things from borrowing one million from his family. In his eyes, there was a big difference.
Wang Huiwen and others are also very happy. With this million, it will be much easier for them to expand their manpower and enter campus promotion.
"Mr. Lin, why don't you invest this million yuan as an angel investment in Xiaonei Network?"
Huang Xin adjusted his glasses, glanced at the partners behind him, and pointed two fingers at Lin Fan, "We can give you 20% of the shares of the school network."
Hearing this, Wang Huiwen and others did not express any objection. Firstly, because Huang Xin is the core of the team, and secondly, they felt that the valuation was not low.
Lin Fan smiled, glanced at Huang Xin, and asked, "Are you serious?"
"certainly!"
Huang Xin looked confident, "In those previous projects, there were always problems of one kind or another. I couldn't even bring you in because I didn't want to trick you."
"Mr. Lin, from the perspective of the founder of Facebook, how do you think our school network is doing?"
As soon as Huang Xing finished asking, Wang Huiwen and others behind him also looked at Lin Fan, wanting to hear this talented man's evaluation of the fruits of their labor.
“Not bad, better than the first version of Facebook!”
Lin Fan's praise made several people, including Huang Xin, blush. They directly copied the 05 version of Facebook. Its functions and interface are naturally better than the 02 version of Facebook in all aspects.
Huang Xin said with a smile: "We are standing on the shoulders of giants to start a business. Mr. Lin, please don't laugh at us."
Lin Fan heard the implication, waved his hands and said: "There are a lot of articles in the world, can this little thing between Internet entrepreneurs be a big deal?
There are so many Internet entrepreneurs in China, including Sohu and Baidu that have gone public, which one is not learning from the American model?
It doesn't matter! I just hope that you can run the school network well, make your own characteristics in the future, and gain your own success."
Lin Fan's magnanimity and high integrity made Huang Xin and others feel quite ashamed.
Especially Wang Huiwen and others. Fortunately, they thought Lin Fan had ulterior motives just now. It seems that he is using the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman.
"Okay, I'm leaving. I hope we can establish more cooperation in the future."
Lin Fan stood up, glanced at Huang Xin, Wang Huiwen and others, and said goodbye with a smile.
"Ah, are you leaving now? It will be noon soon. Let's have a meal and have a couple of drinks together!"
When Huang Xin saw that Lin Fan was leaving, he quickly stood up to persuade him to stay.
Lin Fan waved his hand, "No, I have an appointment this afternoon. Wait until next time. I'll invite you next time."
Seeing that Lin Fan insisted on leaving, Huang Xin made no attempt to stay. He, Huang Huiwen and others sent Lin Fan downstairs. They did not look away until they saw each other get into the car and the car drove away.
"With this magnanimity and mind, he deserves to be rich!"
Wang Huiwen, standing next to Huang Xin, was filled with emotions.
Huang Xin nodded, "However, it's hard to repay this debt of gratitude!"
Lai Binqiang on the side said with a smile: "What's wrong with repaying it? When the school intranet is built, Lin Fan's non-competition period will be over. When we invite him to join us and make a fortune with us, we will repay him."
Got a favor?"
Huang Xin smiled and said: "That's right. I guess Mr. Lin must also have ideas about the school network, otherwise why would he lend me one million."
Everyone on the sidelines nodded. Xiaonei.com is almost equivalent to the Chinese version of Facebook. Coupled with their localized operations, it is not impossible for Lin Fan to be optimistic about it.
"It's a pity. If only Mr. Lin would buy our shares now!"
Huang Xin sighed and said to himself: "With him investing in Xiaonei.com and providing us with endorsement, subsequent financing should not be too easy."
Wang Huiwen was stunned at first, then nodded: "His platform is worth at least 100 million."
"Who says it isn't?"
Huang Xin shrugged, "Forget it, don't think about it anymore, let's run the company well first. As long as the company develops well, everyone will look up to you."
"Let's go have a drink!"
Huang Xin waved and led a group of partners to a nearby small restaurant.
…………
…………
On the car.
Lin Fan was relaxing with his eyes closed.
As long as he invests in Xiaonei.com, Axel, DST, or even Microsoft, there is a high probability that he will choose to follow the bet because of his optimism.
Then Huang Xin can probably enjoy himself secretly. With the luxurious shareholder lineup, all shareholders of Facebook in the United States are optimistic about it.
There is a high probability that the campus network can take off in situ!
The reason why the Xiaonei Network in the previous life was sold to Thousand Oaks Group for US$2 million was mainly because Huang Xin was too immature and could not raise funds.
After being replaced by Chen Yizhou, Xiaonei.com immediately acquired nearly 400 million U.S. dollars from SoftBank. Later, it went public in the United States, with a market value of up to 10 billion U.S. dollars. It also harvested a lot of leeks in the United States.
He decided that it was better not to get on the bus now to avoid causing an uncontrollable chain reaction. Anyway, there would still be a chance to make up for the ticket later.
