My Age of Investment - Chapter 12 Uncertain future

  Chapter 12 Uncertain Future

  "A website for Chinese international students to make friends and share their lives."

  Xia Jingxing thought for a while, and then said: “In the future, it may expand to cover Chinese people all over the world.”

  Kristina pondered for a moment, and asked: "Global Chinese, how many people are there in total?"

   "About 50 million."

  This data is a set of figures seen by Xia Jingxing when he checked the country-related topic report in his previous life.

  The Chinese have a wide distribution, diverse identities, and different cultures.

  And if you don’t say rigorously, the immigration time can even be counted from the Song Dynasty, the time span is very large, so it is difficult to accurately count.

  50 million is only a rough figure, in fact there must be more than this number with Chinese ancestry.

  "How many Chinese are there in America?" Christina asked again.

   "About more than 2 million, right?"

  Xia Jingxing doesn’t know if it’s forbidden. After more than a decade, this number is more than 5 million, which has more than doubled. The current more than 2 million should be only a lot more.

  In addition, there are 700,000 to 800,000 Chinese and overseas Chinese in Canada.

   "The number is not a lot."

  Kristina has also come into contact with many Chinese in her life, but she did not expect the number to be so small.

  There are currently 288 million people in the United States, and the proportion of Chinese is not only 1%.

   "Yes, the number is not much."

  Xia Jingxing nodded and acknowledged this, “My main purpose is still to use this website to facilitate Chinese compatriots studying abroad to make friends and share daily life.

  In addition, we can also give some guidance on studying abroad for students in mainland China.

  In the future, it can also develop into job hunting, news forums, publishing some convenient information, and so on. "

  Kristina nodded after hearing this, "It sounds good, but it feels too limited."

  "Why are you limited?" Xia Jingxing was puzzled.

  "It is not limited to Chinese, everyone can register, then it will definitely have more users and higher commercial value."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, as expected to study economics, three sentences are inseparable from money.

  He is just a Chinese student studying in the United States, without naturalization, or even a green card.

  Want to create a nationwide website, not to mention the difficulty of promotion and development, the identity of the founder is the biggest problem.

  Small fights are nothing. Once on a certain scale, there must be power to obstruct.

  Moreover, the user information of social networking sites is also very sensitive. Although Wang is still engaged in real estate at this time, other leaders in power in the United States will certainly not ignore it.

   "Yes, I don't think it should be limited to the registration of Chinese students."

  Little Dog also strongly suggested, “You let go of the registration conditions so that Stanford students can register, don’t you have tens of thousands of users?

  Developed to other universities in the United States, there are millions of users.

  And they are all students, young people, everyone is definitely more keen to make friends. "

  Xia Jingxing took a deep breath, tilted her head and looked at the little dog, brother, did you also cross?

  The little dog was numb when he was seen, and touched his head unconfidently, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? I think it makes sense."

  Kristina also thinks that Little Dog’s suggestion is very good. He said to Xia Jingxing: "If you follow the idea of ​​Little Dog and make certain achievements, I can recommend investors to you."

  Xia Jingxing was stunned, do you want to be so positive?

  Kristina thought that Xia Jingxing did not believe in herself, and explained: “I know alumni who work for the VC fund, and there is more than one.

  As long as you have a good project, it is not a problem for investors. "

  Xia Jingxing smash it, smash it, is this the way to break Xiao Mazi?

  Although others are advocating fiercely, Xia Jingxing has not lost his reason.

  He is sober.

  It should be no problem for the website to occupy Stanford.

  But if you want to occupy all American colleges and universities, there will be problems in the middle.

  In addition to own identity, funding is also a problem.

  The problem of funds can also be attributed to identity.

  If you are a VC, do you apply for a foreign student? Will there be any hidden dangers?

  If the development of the website is really smooth and the prospects are bright, then most VCs ask for a CEO change, and they will become idle shareholders.

  Or VC requires naturalization.

  Naturalization can not integrate into white society. Yuan Zheng of Zoom is an example.

  I have not been naturalized quickly. I have been naturalized for more than 20 years and have been an executive at Cisco for many years. I am not recognized.

  No way, no way.

  The best ending is to make a fortune from it. It is basically impossible to control this company.

  And to make this money, at least the website must occupy all the universities in the United States, otherwise there will be no investment value or M&A value.

   "Daren, what's wrong with you?"

  Kristina wakes up Xia Jingxing, who is sleeping outside the sky.

   "Nothing, just thinking about your suggestions."

   "Then how are you thinking?" Kristina asked.

  "Very good idea, I was too narrow before."

  "Then have you decided to open registration to all people?"

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "No for now, let's take Stanford first."

"real?"

  The little dog is very happy. After all, adopting his own suggestions is also a kind of identification with himself.

   "That's right, lay the foundation first."

  Kristina nodded, and then asked: "Then, has your website been developed?"

   "It's coming, it's just a few days."

  "Then you have to hurry up, school will start soon. It is a good time to promote users."

  Kristina kindly reminded.

   "You are right, I will hurry up."

  Xia Jingxing's thoughts are a little confused at the moment, and she feels that she has to plan well.

  Furthermore, what I am planning now is to take one step at a time, and the future is uncertain.

  After a while, three steaks were served.

  The waiter carefully prepared the juice and poured it on the three of them.

  Listening to the elegant violin, the three raised the goblet and touched one.

   Christina said: "This cup, celebrate everyone's acquaintance, and wish everyone a happy college life at Stanford."

After taking two bites of steak, Xia Jingxing also raised his cup and said: "After the website goes live, you may need more than two people to help me."

  Kristina smiled and said, "Are you planning to solicit us?"

   "If you are willing to join, I will be happy."

  Xia Jingxing is now asking for money and no money, and no one. If he can fool two people to work for nothing, he will definitely be willing.

  As for how much benefit the website will have in the future, he is not sure.

"let me consider it."

  Kristina is very clear-headed. There are not a few Stanford students who start their own business at school, and most of the waves have not turned up.

  What Xia Jingxing has revealed so far is not enough to attract him to join.

  The little dog does not have such a deep city. When he heard that he wanted to build a website, he suddenly became possession of the second-year boy, "If you don't dislike it, count me."

  Don't underestimate me, I can program and repair the computer. "

   "Do you still program?"

  The little dog's face was flushed and he felt that he was underestimated, "Go back to the dormitory tonight, let you **** power."

  Xia Jingxing had a chill, and waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no, I believe you."

  After eating, the little dog went to check out the bill very gentlemanly, and the bill of more than 300 dollars made him feel painful for a while.

  The three of them walked back to the dormitory together.
