Chapter 63 Investment
Lin Zhimo ignored Li Zekai's expression and continued: "The most important thing to consider at this threshold is how to make the website profitable. Netizens naturally have to log in to various websites on the Internet, but mainland websites are almost unable to support them because selling advertisements alone can no longer fill the cost of supporting the operation of the website. However, at this stage, the website has no other means to increase revenue except selling advertisements. Now it is only relying on continuous financing, spending, refinancing, and spending this vicious cycle to support it."
Li Zekai was also a little surprised when he heard this, not surprised what Lin Zhimo said. In fact, many experts have pointed out this issue abroad, but now investors around the world are crazy and regard network technology as the third industrial revolution. Therefore, the first thing they think about before investing is not profit but land grabbing, how to occupy market share first, and profit is a problem that will only be considered later.
What Li Zekai didn't expect was that Lin Zhimo, a person in the entertainment industry, would also pay attention to the Internet. He asked: "Well, as you say, isn't it meaningless to invest in an Internet company now?"
Lin Zhimo shook his head and said, "In my opinion, there are always only two forms of so-called investment, one is stable and the other is risky. It is safe like the real estate in mainland China. As long as you have money and don't care about the length of the return, real estate in Yanjing, Xiahai and other places will make steady profits; as for adventure, it is new things like Internet technology, which can bear huge risks while also bringing huge profits."
Li Zekai was now really interested in Lin Zhimo. He closed the book in his hand and asked: "What do you mean is that the development of Internet companies is only at a temporary trough, but there are still huge profits?"
Lin Zhimo nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, actually, just look at the behavior of those international investors now, you can know that investing in online companies is the general trend."
Li Zekai nodded slightly, put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf and said to Lin Zhimo: "Come on, sit down and talk."
From the beginning when he didn't look at Lin Zhimo at first, to now inviting Lin Zhimo to sit down and talk, Lin Zhimo has gained the initial recognition of Li Zekai in this short period of time.
Lin Zhimo also relaxed, and his palms were covered with sweat at this time. Even though Lin Zhimo had the genes of the Heavenly King, even if Lin Zhimo's brain memory is extremely strong now, he still felt a kind of depression when facing people like Li Zekai who controls countless lives and killing power in Xiangjiang, because Lin Zhimo is too trivial compared to them now.
Lin Zhimo sat down and sighed: "It's really not easy to be able to sit down and talk to Mr. Li."
Li Zekai was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "As soon as Mei Gu said, you are really a person in a second!"
Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "I dare not take it for the praise from Mei Gu."
Li Zekai sat down and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I was angry just now?"
Lin Zhimo said, "Why aren't you afraid?" Lin Zhimo said, but he turned his words and said with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "But I think, if Mr. Li was really angry just now, I don't have to be afraid."
Lin Zhimo's words gently and cleverly flattered Li Zekai.
Li Zekai was stunned again, then smiled and said, "Okay, he is indeed a wonderful person!"
The previous wonderful person in Li Zekai said that Lin Zhimo was bold enough to joke with him; this wonderful person cheered Lin Zhimo's witty language.
Li Zekai said: "Listen to what Lin Sheng said, it seems that he is interested in investing in the Internet field?"
Lin Zhimo smiled bitterly and said, "In addition to more scandals, we artists have more spare money in our hands. It is also the same as if we have hair in our hands. It is better to invest."
Li Zekai smiled and said, "Then I'll ask, does Lin Sheng like any company he likes?"
Lin Zhimo shook his head and said, "Nothing is in line with my wishes yet. Most domestic websites are just imitating foreign forms, and there is no eye-catching innovation."
Li Zekai pushed the glasses frame and asked, "What does Lin Sheng think of the company?"
Lin Zhimo said: "The reason why the Internet is fascinating is that it has the potential to become the second world of mankind. In reality, you can do everything you can with one network cable in the Internet era. You can order food, buy clothes, book air tickets, watch news, etc. online, but I think this kind of website is too similar and has no characteristics at all."
Lin Zhimer paused and continued: "The Internet company in my mind does not have to be very large, but it must have its own unique functions that cannot be copied or replaced by others."
Li Zekai said thoughtfully: "Have Lin Sheng ever heard of Google?"
"google?" Lin Zhimo thought for a while and said, "That company that does search engines?"
Li Zekai could not have imagined that Lin Zhimo was really so familiar with these network companies, and even remembered a small company that had been established for less than a year. Of course, Li Zekai would never have thought that Lin Zhimo had a skill that would never be remembered.
Li Zekai said: "What do you think of the prospects of this company?"
Lin Zhimo thought for a while, smiled bitterly, and said, "I can't think of any profitable profitable it can rely on. Besides selling his search results to websites such as yahoo, what other ways it can make? But I think as long as it can find a way to make profit, it will become a new miracle on the Internet and will not be inferior to Microsoft."
Li Zekai nodded in agreement. The question just now actually had some meaning of taking the school entrance exam, but it was obvious that Lin Zhimo's view won Li Zekai's recognition.
Next, the two talked about the topic of the prospects of the Internet for nearly an hour. In the end, Li Zekai had to admit that he took a look at Lin Zhimo and also sighed the same as Mei Yanfang - it was a pity that Lin Zhimo was an artist.
After chatting for a while, Lin Zhimo felt that the time was almost over, so hesitated for a moment and said to Li Zekai: "Mr. Li, I have a private matter, I want to ask you for a while."
Li Zekai smiled and said, "Lin Sheng, what's the matter? I need my help?"
Although Li Zekai had not had a long contact with Lin Zhimo, it was also obvious that the other party was not the kind of person who would make unreasonable requests, so he was not worried about Lin Zhimo's request that made him embarrassed.
Lin Zhimo said: "I want to use the money I have in my hands to make some investments, but I am not very familiar with the specific operations..."
Li Zekai interrupted Lin Zhimo and smiled and said, "But you want to find a manager and then slowly set up an investment company?"
Lin Zhimo said: "I haven't thought so far from starting a company, but I really need a professional manager to help me manage my agency."
Li Zekai thought about it and asked, "Do you plan to invest mainly in domestic or foreign countries in the future?"
Lin Zhimo said: "Foreign, it's mainly the United States, after all, the laws there are relatively sound."
"Okay, since that's the case... By the way, when will you leave Xiangjiang?" Li Zekai was about to answer, but suddenly remembered that Lin Zhimo was from the mainland after all.
Lin Zhimo asked, "Is there any obstacle?"
Li Zekai said: "There will be a party in Xiangjiang in a week, and I will introduce you to the manager you need."
