这才七月中旬, 炎热的天气压不过投资者们狂热的野心, 许多初创公司凭借一份企划书,都能拿到数百万美金的投资款, 也难怪TVT的估值迅速上涨。自从ICQ被苏业豪收购,向外界散播已经找到盈利点的消息之后,ICQ的估值也到了四亿五千万美金左右,只不过暂时还没打算接受融资,所以估值仅仅只是一个数字。最近几天,苏业豪被约翰·周带着参加小派对,在当地认识不少新朋友。听别人说起找钱多么多么容易,想拿一千万还不行,投资人非得融资两三千万美金,这倒是给苏业豪提了个醒。。虽然不急着上市,但是尽快将手里的两家公司拉扯起来,可以趁着行情大火,四处吆喝着圈一笔融资款回来。一旦将资金问题解决,接下来几年估计都不用自掏腰包,为公司开销而发愁。借鸡生蛋,岂不是美滋滋?假如脸皮足够厚,等到泡沫破裂后估值下跌,还有机会用低价再把转让出去的股份买回来,当中的差价可能高达数亿美金。想到这些,苏业豪找到新上任的TVT临时首席执行官罗杰·克鲁伊夫,笑眯眯表示会再提供两千万美金给他,无论如何也要想办法,把产品的用户数量砸上去。会员、虚拟商品、广告等等盈利点,也可以开始筹备推出了,争取让营收数据漂亮一点。……阳光,草地,沙滩椅,湛蓝的户外泳池。七月二十二号这天。苏业豪穿着大裤衩,躺在遮阳伞下面,喝着冰沙吃西瓜。农轻影一身长裙,坐在旁边低头看书,她嘴里还说着:“见鬼的恐怕要忙,看你最近多闲,岂不是等于换了个地方养生呢?硅谷真无聊,要不然我们一起回去吧,刚好后天是我妈生日。”“唉。”苏业豪放好杯子,将胳膊枕在脑袋下面,叹完气接着说道:“万万没想到,我看好的生意居然这么不受欢迎,放眼望去除了美国在线,都没人跟我竞争,广告投放效果也很好,总不能每天都去公司坐镇,从上班发呆到下班吧?”“……你的竞争对手,不是被你给收购了么,继续跟美国在线抢市场啊。”“这不是正在抢着呢,况且他们的收费聊天群,注定死路一条,砸钱砸不过他们,我能怎么办。”苏业豪神色懒散,闭着眼睛,舒服到都快睡着了。他所谓的“不受欢迎”,是指往即时聊天领域创业的团队不多,偶尔能见到一些,也都还没发展起来。强的太强,美国在线总市值已经快五百亿美金。弱的又太弱,都是些不知道还有没有明天的小团队。在这种局面下,TVT的日子不要太好过,来了美国一周,在广告和引流的加持下,TVT的日活跃用户增加八万多,增幅还在持续扩大,口口相传,吸引众多新用户。部分用户,还是从ICQ抢来的,等于左手换右手,没流进外人田地。即时聊天市场之所以没被关注,原因无非出在前途黑暗上,就连ICQ这样掌握七百万用户的公司,都没思科、雅虎的市值零头值钱,吸引用户还特别烧钱,迟迟看不见回报。有这个先例明摆着,创业者们哪能看不见,投资机构同样放弃了ICQ,把它当成随时完蛋的小众市场看待。其实美国在线单靠收费群聊,同样值不了那么多钱。这家公司的市值之所以高到惊人,主要是网络社区、网络新闻以及信息服务等业务支撑着,现如今号称拥有两千万用户,跟广告商走得非常近,让人觉得有前景。简而言之,美国在线是家大型集团,苏业豪关注的收费聊天室,仅仅只是它诸多业务中的一小部分,单独拎出来最多值个十五亿美金左右。天花板摆在这,吸引用户的过程中还特别烧钱,也难怪硅谷的创业者们不敢进这行。ICQ之所以凭借特别简单的功能,实现七百万用户的积累,部分原因就在于没人跟它争抢,用户可选择的空间太小,小到之前几乎只有ICQ,最近又多了个TVT。罗杰·克鲁伊夫上任后,调研完只在个人空间里,找到区区数个合适的广告位,再多容易惹人嫌。弊端显而易见,如何变现是个难题。苏业豪近期一直在派人寻找合适的游戏开发团队,同时又关注搜索引擎、浏览器、视频软件、新闻网站之类,为的就是想办法将即时聊天软件积累的客户,通过引流的方式转化成公司收入。一时半会儿还没头绪,苏业豪并不着急,反正投资才是大头,这边可以撑一撑。来到硅谷的第八天。没有想象中的大杀四方,公司也没什么活。听农轻影说想回港城,苏业豪也觉得继续在这养老没意义,索性答应了一起回去……
