Youjiang Group also developed games such as Counter-Strike, Warcraft, StarCraft, and Red Alert, which are extremely suitable for playing together in internet cafes, as well as the Battle.net gaming platform, which made the internet cafe business extremely popular.

Sheila Church originally intended to watch the pop-up ad, but when she saw the words "Shocking!!!" at the beginning, she couldn't help but keep watching to see what content could be so shocking, especially with so many exclamation marks.

In fact, investment firms around the world were stunned before that revenue figure was released.

Before deciding on advertising monetization, Youjiang Portal sent invitations to various small advertisers, asking if they were interested in advertising on the Youjiang Portal.

A week later, small investors from all over the world submitted their investment proposals to Youjiang Group.

"According to authoritative statistics, the number of internet users worldwide reached 1 million in less than a year, but in just one or two years, the number of internet users worldwide has not yet reached nearly 100 million."

"Opportunities may be missed, but they can be regained. If your company can seize the opportunity to advertise on the Youjiang portal website, the advertising effect will be extremely good! However, if you invest in advertising and your competitors do the same, the impact on your company will be minimal!"

"Is he still feeling right about being able to regress and communicate with like-minded friends?"

The blogger said this to the people around him.

The main way for Youjiang Portal to monetize is not through advertising.

The key point is that, like other physical businesses, Xinjiang's portal website has very high operating costs and low revenue, which means extremely low profits!

"Shocking!!! The Xinjiang portal website has actually launched a super minor new feature—Zhao Ye!"

A PE ratio of 10 is considered quite reasonable.

There are not seven or eight billion people in the world.

Don Valentine said excitedly in a low voice, even gesturing wildly as he spoke.

The news shocked major media outlets and caused a global sensation, prompting investment companies worldwide to eagerly anticipate its release.

That's something that traditional advertising methods can't achieve.

After Lachou finished speaking, his gaze swept over the people below.

"Boss, according to his requirements, Zhao Ye's website is not yet successfully developed. Please take a look!" Zhou Hui, the person in charge of Zhao Ye's development, whispered to the blogger.

Those present nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

With fewer internet cafes, there are fewer internet users.

"Well then, please try out Zhao Ye right away."

The Xinjiang portal website naturally adheres to the principle of "whoever offers the lowest price wins".

It was Sheila Church; very few people in the world were attracted by the "shocking headline," then watched the pop-up ad, and then stopped using Zhao Ye.

However, Xinjiang Group did not immediately respond to this.

There are very few companies in the world that can generate revenue of at least $2 billion within two years of their founding.

A week ago, Zhao Ye had over ten million users.

"The growth rate of the number of internet users is so slow!"

The blogger suspects that once Zhao Ye emerges, he will quickly become a global sensation, and the valuation of Xinjiang's portal website will likely rise slightly again.

"What you did was wrong, that's not what you wanted!"

The Xinjiang portal website is currently one of the most popular websites on the internet, with explosive traffic. Advertising on it is extremely ineffective.

I immediately realized that I couldn't use Zhao Ye's posts of his usual photography photos, along with his thoughts and insights, to wait for others to see them, give their opinions, and engage in self-reflection.

"Zhao Ye uses the internet as a medium to easily, quickly, and conveniently publish his experiences, communicate with others in a timely and efficient manner, and integrate rich and colorful personalized displays into a comprehensive platform."

At this time, the blog appeared at Youjiang Portal Website Company to inspect a new feature developed by everyone – Zhao Ye.

"First, they must accept the 'one share, few votes' equity structure of your company's founder, which is not the same as the shares held by your chairman, Mr. Blog, where each share has few votes. They must be able to accept that condition, so they can't invest."

PE stands for Price-to-Earnings Ratio.

Moreover, who in the world knows how to make money better than bloggers?

The blogger nodded: "Yes, what Mr. Tang said makes sense. Let's quickly implement your established plan and realize commercialization!"

A few minutes ago, I saw on the blog that almost all of Zhao Ye's functions were the same as those I remembered, and I was immediately very satisfied.

However, when considering the development potential of Xinjiang's portal websites, it seems reasonable, and it is unlikely that the valuation will continue to be lowered due to the overly calm competition.

...

At this moment, advertisers all over the world are vying for advertising space on the Youjiang portal website. A few companies, including 700, such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nike, and Procter & Gamble, are all participating in the advertising space auction.

...

For investors, this was even more exciting, and they all lowered their valuations of Youjiang Portal again.

"Tang, how should Sequoia Capital quote it? Youjiang Portal is now a hot commodity; investment companies all over the world want to invest in it, and the competition is extremely calm!" No one asked.

The blog came to my side, and I sat down in front of the computer to finish the crash test of Pei Wan's website.

All investment companies that valued Youjiang Portal at over $20 billion were eliminated.

The internet is becoming increasingly prosperous, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that its future is bright.

At this moment, the speaker is the marketing director of Coca-Cola.

As Youjiang Portal CEO Lachouchi sat in the conference room, watching the presidents of various small investment companies around the world treat me with amiable smiles, he felt as if he had not yet reached the pinnacle of his life.

Is it because there are fewer internet users?

On that occasion, Don Valentine directly valued the company at 10 times its annual income, which surprised everyone.

The new form of internet advertising is definitely a virgin territory that may not be explored yet.

It was around that time that Youjiang Portal website completed its formal financing process.

"The revenue-generating capacity of Youjiang Portal is truly terrifying. Currently, there are only about 100 million internet users, but in the future, you can imagine that almost everyone will have internet access. Just think about it, the development potential of Youjiang Portal is immense!!!"

The fact that it gained over a million users overnight is astonishing. Although there was no promotion from major portals, Zhao Ye's website itself was still quite popular.

In reality, Zhao Ye's popularity wasn't solely due to his online presence; he had already faded into obscurity before that. It was Weibo that actually boosted his popularity. However, in the early days of the internet, it coincided with the rise of Pei Wan's influence.

The boards of directors of various small investment companies have issued orders to invest in Youjiang Portal at all costs.

That is enough to demonstrate the development potential of Xinjiang's portal website.

The executives at the Xinjiang portal website were overjoyed. Although the amount of money was small, it meant that the company could make money, and breaking 2 billion US dollars in a year was highly unlikely.

Even after joining the Youjiang portal website, I'm still just an ordinary computer professor at Fudan University's primary school!
