Chapter 268 Sequoia Capital
If you look at Rabbit, perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the values of the Elephant Party are the theory of exploitation. Why can't you choose the motherly values of the Donkey Party?
For this question, in fact, just look at Germany.
There are now four bosses in the world: Eagle Sauce is first, Rabbit is second, Japan is third, and Germany is fourth. However, Germany has the smallest population, only about 80 million people, so its per capita GDP is very good. Germany’s The industrial structure is also very reasonable, mainly manufacturing, and it is cutting-edge precision manufacturing. For example, the world's leading industrial robots are in Germany. This country is outstanding in all aspects, from education to culture to politics.
Who is considered poor in Germany? The government stipulates that people with less than 60% of the average income are considered poor. Where is this line drawn? The monthly income is probably less than 1035 euros, which is about more than 7000 yuan when converted into RMB.
Go to the poor people's homes in Germany and you'll find everything, including computers, game consoles, refrigerators, microwave ovens, color TVs, and large-screen LCD color TVs.
You might say that the poor in Germany are doing well. Not only is it good, it's better than ordinary people. The average free housing a poor person in Germany receives from the government is 45 square meters, which is 2 square meters more than the per capita housing area in Germany. An ordinary college student has just found a job after graduation. With that salary, in addition to paying off student loans, the house he can rent is less than 10 square meters, which is far inferior to those poor people who receive welfare.
There is also a trend among poor people in Germany, which is to play with the latest electronic products, such as new mobile phones, because this is how they can gain a sense of existence. Therefore, whenever Germany's largest home appliance chain launches a new product, it first advertises it to the poor.
If a typical German couple has two children and neither of them is in class, they can get 3000 euros per month from the government, which is about 15000 yuan in RMB. So tell me how it works. Doesn’t it smell good? If I go to work, to achieve this income, you need an hourly wage of 10 euros per hour of work, which requires considerable work skills, and you have to go to work, and you have to be tired, so these poor people do not Silly, why should I go to work? I would just be unemployed and stay at home for a long time.
In Germany, the social assistance industry is the largest industry, with a total of 1994 million employees. This is more than the German automobile industry, construction industry, steel industry, mining industry, fishing and hunting industry, and even the aircraft industry combined, it is not so Large employment population. The Catholic Caritas is a social help industry with a total of 2010 employees, which is Catholic. There is also a Protestant church with employees. These welfare organizations have branches across the country. What is the concept? Even if all the butcher shops, bakeries, and gas stations in Germany were added together, there would not be this number. They are everywhere in the streets and alleys. One-fifth of the German government's tax revenue goes to this industry. These people will even find poor people, because they fish like folk fishing, and finally catch a person who needs help, and this is their customer. What's more important is that welfare institutions sometimes do evil things. From to , the Germans suddenly discovered that the number of people with disabilities in the country had doubled. Where did the disabled people come from? Welfare institutions created them. Are you squinting? It’s not just people who stutter, or people who have reading or learning disabilities, some have academic institutions providing them with arguments, and that’s called a disability.
There are two million employed people in the social assistance industry. What is the concept? Upstream and downstream, as well as their families, the people who live on this money account for about one-eighth of the German population, about 10 million, so this is a huge Interest groups, these people are not poor people, they are elites, even high-income class. The power they form will kidnap the system and continue to move forward, especially in a democratic society, there is no turning back, because They have a lot of votes.
Is the current situation in Germany the result of the motherly thinking of the Donkey Party?
One-eighth of the people are becoming the country’s bastards. What’s the concept?
But people are all lazy. Who wouldn’t envy the life of the poor in Germany? When the size of the interest groups in Germany reaches more than half, then Germany may not be far from collapse.
If you don't work in Rabbit, you will soon face the dilemma of not having to worry about food and clothing, but in a high welfare country, it will be much more enjoyable than when you don't work. I am afraid this is one of the reasons why some people are busy running away. One. But maybe this is also the reason why rabbits can create miracles of rise, because rabbits have a gene in their bones - hard work.

After Byrne obtained the original copy of the Black Rose Project, he chose to give it to Pamela Randy, who announced it to the public.
He came alone to the CIA training institution that brainwashed him and made judgments about his past.
Dr. Albert Hershey, the creator of the Treadstone Plan, took Bourne back to the place where they originally made the agreement, and told Bourne that when choosing agents, it was all based on your own will! You voluntarily join this agent program!
Along with this journey to find his roots, Bourne looked at the most profound place in his memory, and his memory slowly revived. Oh, it seems that this is indeed the case, so I don’t care. I was young and ignorant at the time, but now I just want to be a good person.
Faced with the man who created him, Dr. Albert Hershey, Bourne did not kill him. Because he promised Mary that he could choose who he would be.
But he will definitely regret it later, because the reason that caused him to voluntarily join the Stepping Stone Project was that his father died at the hands of terrorists, but in fact, his father died at the hands of those who promoted the Stepping Stone Project and the Black Rose Project. cia high-level.
But whether Bourne regretted it or not had nothing to do with Murphy. It was just that on the third day after Bourne disappeared, a bomb exploded directly on the Internet.
The public discovered many invisible things about CIA, and even had plans to monitor their privacy.
This led to a burst of anger among ordinary people.
Privacy is a big issue. After all, no one wants to do something private if it will be exposed to the public, right?

"Murphy, I realize that I seem to have been deceived by you." After pouring a glass of water for Murphy, Emily looked at him with a rather resentful look and said, "When I didn't create the Burn After Reading, I eat, drink and have fun every day, how comfortable I am, but now? I am so busy every day that I feel dizzy!"
"But why am I so busy? To make money, but the money I have is enough for me to spend! I admit that the business plan you gave me that disappears after reading is great, but now that I am making more money, in fact, I also There’s so much money to spend!”
It can be seen that lingering fatigue appears on Emily's face, and she no longer cares about the delicate makeup she used to wear all the time.
"It's just that you will be busier in the early days of starting a business. Once things get on track, you will be much more relaxed." Murphy touched his nose and said with a smile, "You can also try to delegate some power to your subordinates. Just take the general direction by yourself, so you won’t get tired.”
"Besides, you eat, drink, have fun and don't work every day. It's nice to experience such a life, but if you live it for months and years, don't you feel bored? What's the difference between a person without a job and a salted fish?"
Many people think that working is not just about earning a salary.
Wrong, it has a lot of side effects. For example, honor, diligence, efficiency, social participation, social responsibility, etc., are all the results of work. If a person does not work, you will not be able to enjoy these meanings.
German sociologist Max Weber once said, what is a person? Man is an animal suspended in a web of meaning that he has woven. If the web of meaning collapses and you fall down, you will be nothing more than a worm. What is the difference between you and a salted fish?
If you don't work for a long time, you will definitely not get up early, you will definitely not have the idea of learning and working hard, and you will not cooperate with others in good faith. You will not even be able to be punctual.
"Bah!" Emily rolled her eyes at Murphy and said, "I would rather live boringly every day. What's wrong with being a salted fish?"
"And how can things be as easy as you say?" Emily said: "In the early days of starting a business, if you really dare to delegate power to your subordinates, maybe they will be able to make you behave like a demon. After all, the company is not theirs. . What should I do if I don’t do anything stupid and sideline you? We have invested at least 2000 million US dollars in burning after reading!"
Shortly after Burn After Reading was launched, Emily started a crazy advertising mode.
Invest manpower to copy and paste everywhere in small websites and forums, leaving information and links that will disappear after reading.
It also placed advertisements on large forums and medium-sized websites, paying a large amount of advertising fees.
As for social networking sites, the first step must be to do everything possible to increase the number of users.
Fortunately, due to the personalized difference between post-reading and Facebook, it was favored by many young people who pursue individuality in the early stage, resulting in good initial advertising results.
The good initial results were a taste of the sweetness, which inspired Emily to take bolder actions, spending huge sums of money to advertise on large websites, and initially established a local promotion team that burned after reading.
After all, there is a method of valuing Internet companies that shows that in the Internet era, the value of an active user is about $70.
When Emily discovers that the user value of receiving goods is far greater than the advertising costs invested, any fool knows what to do!
Nowadays, Burn After Reading already has the potential to become a big hit.
Especially in the Iron Hand operation that Murphy secretly announced, Facebook, as the current social overlord, also plays an indispensable part.
This led to a sharp decline in people's favorability towards Facebook. At least millions of people uninstalled Facebook that day, although many people downloaded it back later. After all, Facebook carries their relationship chain, which does not mean they can give up. They all gave up immediately, but there is no doubt that Facebook’s public favorability continues to decline.
Therefore, many people must be looking for alternatives to Facebook and do not want all their privacy to be exposed.
Burn after reading stands out among them.
Because the main purpose of burning after reading is privacy, if information and pictures are destroyed immediately after viewing, isn’t that not private enough?
And Murphy asked Emily to spare no money from the beginning, treating Burn After Reading as a unicorn. There was absolutely no ambiguity about where the money should be spent. Experts were asked to design the timeline, personal information homepage, home page, etc. Even Murphy himself gave a lot of excellent opinions.
With Mo Fei, a product manager with a prophetic perspective, and the assistance of professionals, no matter how bad the user experience that disappears after reading is, how bad can it be?
As a result, JiuYuJiBurn immediately ushered in a period of rapid customer growth, with at least 300 million active users added within a few days. Even if many people still have Facebook accounts, they still feel that Facebook can be used to talk about serious topics, and they can use Facebook to burn after reading to talk about more private topics, while keeping two sets of accounts.
According to the valuation of Internet companies, this is $2100 million in vain.
And it continues to maintain rapid growth.
This almost made Emily burst into laughter.
Of course, while she was happy, Emily also had to get busy again. Faced with the rapidly increasing number of users, in order to prevent the server from being paralyzed and causing a bad user experience, she immediately contacted to rent or purchase a new server.
Nowadays, the total number of users who burn after reading is close to 10 million. Even among Yingjiang Internet companies, it can be said to be a well-known one.
According to the growth momentum of disappearing after reading, a small Internet giant with over 100 million users may be born within half a year.
Great potential!
To be honest, Emily did better than Murphy imagined. He originally just wanted to start a business for Emily to play and find something to do, and he didn't think that Emily would definitely succeed. In fact, failure is nothing. After all, the money invested in the book that will be burned after reading was all obtained through deception. Not a penny of it was Murphy's hard-earned money, and it didn't hurt much if he lost it. But now Emily has really mastered the idea of burning after reading.
Although Murphy may have given a complete business plan, etc., and the creativity of Internet companies is the most important, if Murphy is the only one, he will only have fantasy and no real value.
Mo Fei is self-aware. He is not a suitable character for a self-made entrepreneur. Even if he holds valuable information, he cannot find a way to monetize it.
"Well, I don't know much about these, so I can only work hard for you!" Murphy smiled, took Emily's hand, held her in his arms, and said: "How about... I'll reward you. ?”
"Virtue!" Emily rolled her eyes at Mo Fei with her charming big eyes. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly thought: "By the way, do you have any ideas about the issue of burn-after-read financing? There is already a venture capital firm The organization took a fancy to Burn After Reading and tried every means to contact me.”
"Which one?"
"Sequoia Capital!"
