My Age of Investment

"The concept of the global village was first proposed by Canadian communication scientist Mike Luhan in his 1964 book Understanding Media: The Extension of Humanity.

This concept vividly expresses the great changes brought to human communication and communication due to the highly developed communication media.

In an instant, electronic media can enable information to travel thousands of miles away.

With the help of electronic media, major events on the earth can be synchronized and transmitted in real time, and the differences in space distance and time will no longer exist.

The entire earth has shrunk into a small place in time and space, like a village, and the voices of chickens and dogs hear each other..."

Xia Jingxing's deep, magnetic baritone came from the audio equipment around the hotel and entered the ears of everyone in the audience.

Everyone is looking at their heads, wanting to hear what new ideas and remarks this Silicon Valley's hottest startup rookie can bring.

Xia Jingxing continued, "But this concept was proposed too early, it has been 40 years since today, and the electronic media that Mr. Mike Luhan refers to are only television and radio.

The global village he described is only the global village of television and the global village of radio.

With the rise of the Internet wave in the 1990s, the global village has added another Internet global village.

Compared with TV and radio, the Internet spreads faster and breaks the "one-way communication" mechanism.

That is to say, people could only watch TV and radio before, and could not give feedback, or the feedback was ineffective.

With the advent of the Internet, people all over the world can conduct two-way interactions across time and space. "

Many people in the audience nodded. The Internet is also known as the information revolution. The biggest change to society is that information transmission is more efficient.

There were also some people who didn't agree. They thought that Xia Jingxing, a rookie entrepreneur, could bring some novel and thought-provoking viewpoints, but the result was a cliché, which was a big disappointment.

Xia Jingxing noticed that the crowd in the audience was in a low mood and didn't care.

Immediately, he changed his words and raised his voice an octave: "But! Today it's here, and it's coming to people all over the world with the fourth-generation global village concept!"

Xia Jingxing said these words in the tone of a well-known car talker in his previous life.

Sure enough, many people's lowered heads were raised again.

"It is the social network, retracing a real human relationship society in the Internet world.

Everyone can migrate their real friends and relationship chains to Facebook's social network.

Today, 17 million users from three continents and six countries in North America, Europe and Australia are using Facebook.

Let me give you an example to give you a more intuitive understanding.

For example, William of England uploaded a picture today of going on vacation.

Soon, William's cousin Ruth in Australia posted a comment via Facebook.

Then, the second cousin in Canada and the eldest cousin in the United States also commented on William's photos.

The family is neat,

Have fun chatting and sharing your life on Facebook.

Hearing this, someone should be able to taste the difference between the social network global village and the Internet global village, or how the former has improved and improved over the latter.

Before the birth of social networks, people could chat in chat rooms and discuss world events in BBS forums.

But these Internet tools are anonymous, and everyone's connection and communication are not close enough.

The appearance of social network is to make everyone's connection in the network more convenient, faster and closer. "

Everyone in the audience fell into deep thought.

Before this, you may have used or heard of Facebook.

But everyone has a vague concept of Facebook, finding friends online, sharing photos, posting blogs, etc. This is everyone's conventional cognition.

If you imagine in the direction that Xia Jingxing said, wouldn't it be that billions of people around the world use Facebook every day and become a daily routine?

Is it that great?

Many people are skeptical about this.

Xia Jingxing estimated that the fire was almost over, and began to enter the advertising time.

"Next, Facebook will enter more countries and regions.

Of course, this also needs to overcome many difficulties, such as culture, language, politics and other factors.

The global village is just an outlook for the future, and we can only call it an "English village" at present.

However, that's okay.

Many colleagues have proved for us that social networks are suitable for any country and any race.

Because everyone has such a demand, they are eager for social networking sites to bring more fun to their lives. "

After Xia Jingxing's keynote speech was over, he bowed to the audience, and the audience applauded like thunder.

Xia Jingxing did not leave, and he had to answer a few random audience questions.

A young male student in his early twenties got the opportunity to ask questions, stood up and asked, "Daren, as you said, Facebook has the idea of ​​creating a global village through social networks, is that right?"

"Yes, as the world's largest social networking company, we never stop thinking about changing the world."

Xia Jingxing pretended to be coercive, and when it should be high profile, one must not be humble.

Another question was asked: "Social networking service companies are being born all over the world. How does Facebook view this competition?"

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "In Chinese, this is called letting a hundred flowers bloom, promoting the prosperity of the industry.

Because of the existence of competition, Facebook is constantly improving itself, improving its services, and enhancing its competitiveness.

We do not dislike competition, nor are we afraid of competition! "

Others were concerned about Xia Jingxing dropping out of school and asked, "How do you feel about dropping out of school to start a business? Do you have any good advice or ideas for college students and entrepreneurs?"

Xia Jingxing shrugged, "First of all, I didn't drop out of school to start a business.

In fact, Facebook had been in operation for nearly a year and a half before I dropped out of school to start a business.

Because the company grows, there are more and more things to deal with.

Between changing the world and finishing my studies, I chose the former.

For other college students and entrepreneurs, my advice is to first prove that the business model is sustainable, and then make a choice.

For example, getting a round of financing, the company becoming profitable, or having an amazing invention patent..."

After returning to a few questions one after another, Xia Jingxing's speech officially ended.

After him, he gave several keynote speeches by Chinese executives and investors in Silicon Valley.

After all this was over, the grand award ceremony opened.

Through the joint selection of more than 20 VC partners and Huayuan directors, Facebook and four other startups won the 2004 Huayuan Global Innovation Award.

Xia Jingxing and four other award-winning entrepreneurs stood on the stage and accepted the awards under the spotlight.

After receiving the trophy made of glass crystal from Deng Feng, Xia Jingxing delivered another acceptance speech.

At the same time, the electronic screen behind him also played an introductory video of Facebook.

Finally, the conference officially ended in Deng Feng's speech.

In the evening, guest speakers and representatives of sponsoring organizations were invited to attend the Huayuan Annual Dinner.

As a guest speaker, Xia Jingxing was naturally invited. He sat at a table with several entrepreneurs who had a good chat in the morning, and talked about the development trend of the Internet in China and the United States, as well as some investment opportunities.

He doesn't talk much, he mainly listens to what others have to say.

"The domestic Internet is still the same, but the social network is very popular."

Speaking of which, Chen Hong glanced at Xia Jingxing and asked the latter with a smile, "I heard that Facebook has also invested in a domestic social networking site?"

Xia Jingxing said lightly, "Yes, Youyoumi, I don't have much investment. I invested a million dollars with Axel."

Chen Hong gave Xia Jingxing a meaningful look, and combined with the latter's speech today, it was obvious that the other party was making a long-term plan.

He was also shocked today, billions of users, global village, what is that concept?

However, this goal was too lofty, and he could only pretend that Xia Jingxing was bragging, and the chance of achieving it was too small.

"Jing Xing, you haven't joined the Huayuan Science and Technology Association, have you?" Deng Feng asked suddenly.

"right."

Xia Jingxing nodded, mainly because he was not famous before, Huayuan Science and Technology Association did not take the initiative to invite him, and he did not take the initiative to find him.

Deng Feng is very talkative, and he said with a smile: "We are negligent in our work. Now, on behalf of the association, I am officially sending you an invitation to join the association."

"Haha, okay, then I have to join in. Next year, I will come to eat and drink again."

Xia Jingxing gags, and resolves some embarrassment invisibly.

Everyone burst out laughing.

At the end of the banquet, Deng Feng picked up the wine glass and looked at the crowd.

"This cup, to everyone, and to the association, in this land of the United States, if the Chinese want to make a difference, they must be united.

A difficult one, P Plus support! This is also the consistent purpose of Huayuan! "

Everyone nodded, although they were all business tycoons, but more or less, they all felt all kinds of bad intentions on this land.

If you want to protect yourself, you have to stick together.

Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, which is unacceptable.

Because no one knows, whether there is such a day when he is in trouble.

The original purpose of Huayuan Science and Technology Association was simply to help Chinese entrepreneurs get financing.

Up to now, although the surface program of the association has not changed, the top members have a tacit understanding and have been helping each other all the time.

In fact, Deng Feng's remarks were mainly for Xia Jingxing, a newcomer, who heard Xiange and knew the elegant meaning, glanced at everyone, and immediately nodded his stance, "Brother Deng Feng said it well, helping others is helping yourself! I think this is very good, it suits my heart, and I will strictly practice this purpose.”

Hearing Xia Jingxing's refreshing statement, several people nodded secretly.

Facebook's scale and influence are much worse than those of many people present, but you must know, how long has Facebook developed?

Just a year and a half.

In their eyes, Facebook and Xia Jingxing are both potential seedlings.

To attract such potential members to join, it is very beneficial to strengthen Huayuan's strength and influence.

Next, the attitude of several people present towards Xia Jingxing became a lot closer and regarded as their own.

They exchanged contact information with Xia Jingxing one by one, and also expressed that they would meet more and keep in touch in the future.

Xia Jingxing also had nothing to do, and repeatedly said yes,

At a dinner party, the guests and the host left happily.
