Chen Zhou is the first birth packaged only listed Chinese stocks.
"To see that, we start-up stage," Chen Zhou in Beijing to press outward to introduce their own office, cluttered room, pointing Tanshou explained, "We are four O (four executives that the company CEO, COO, CFO , CTO) office on crowded together here, never seen it! "
"Big Yin" a few years after the site had crashed and founder of ChinaRen Chen a boat back, finally back from the dead, quickly assembled from multi-brand network enterprise "Oak Pacific Interactive," second pioneering network of "old hero" organization of writing carefully, always a Jew hold between words partly concealed look.
"Thousand Oaks" with a mysterious
Even today, despite claims to the Oak Zhou Chen has more than satisfied Shangwang the size of some of the Chinese stocks, but for many people, "Thousand Oaks" is still a strange and mysterious network with business.
Filed Thousand Oaks, have to start talking about a few years ago. September 2000, "gunned" the alumni site ChinaRen into Sohu announced, the founder of a boat and the others at the same time Chen joined Sohu, a few months later in early 2001, the "turtle" swim back left Sohu the United States, the hand with a transaction assigned to the 44 million Sohu shares, the stock was about one U.S. dollar a share more.
Chen in the United States a boat, his eyes fixed on the Chinese market. "Half-way back in 2002 when was wireless value-added has been rapid development in China," the same year, Chen Zhou quietly again "visit" to China, choose the wireless value-added involved. "When companies think of a name very common in the United States longevity oak trees, so called an 'Oak'," This name obviously ChinaRen only lasted a year or two past the changing hands of others. "In the beginning do is wireless value-added services." Chen told reporters boat simple.
During this period, Chen Zhou did a very right thing to do --- 44 million shares of stock of most of Sohu, has been firmly clenched in his hands, with the higher performance of Sohu, Sohu's stock began to rise, five U.S. dollars 10 dollars, 20 dollars, 30 U.S. dollars ... ... "The Ins and Outs almost sold it a few million dollars, the money just used as a new venture capital company." Zhou said Chen.
"Cat Fight" wears a scarf
"At a time when business, the company is small, together with the staff to be a very long time, they often say what a website is good, I'll take a look." One day in 2002, some staff referred to a man named " Cat Fight, "the community, which is a creation of years, has been unknown individual small sites outside of the world rankings in the thousands.
"Looked up, a hodgepodge of information, a bit mean!" Chen Zhou easily post in the back to scrape together a hot look lively, leaving a huge "top" the word, www.mop.com since then have access to his computer collection folder, "often to see which was a hodgepodge." Of course, Chen Zhou, and not the other registered users of "cat", as only the cat pounced to "seek blessings", "with the message", "To MOP (virtual currency), "more than a year later in March 2004, Oak Pacific by way of equity swap, a wholly-owned incorporated cat flutter.
This is a some mysterious transactions, transactions related to the price until today was still being firmly kept confidential, not only that, the operating conditions on the flutter cats, also for the industry, such as smoke and mirrors. "The main revenue comes from advertising, about six months ago, it has achieved profitability." Chen Zhou briefly to reporters. Magnitude on the income scale, growth rate, Chen still tight-lipped.
It is understood that after two years of development, the cat has been flapping in the global traffic ranking jumped to dozens of locations, become the most popular community site, is one of thousands of rubber parts under the name of the most valuable assets, for the cat flutter put on the hijab, in fact it covered up thousands of rubber of the family property.
"Multi-branding" relationship Pushuo
Zhou Chen, a second pioneering multi-brand management strategy chosen, even in the company name with a "1000", which "shows the development of business to flourish." So far, in the name of Thousand Oaks, just open the cat would have been brought together flutter, Donews, DuDu, pcast, Uume, 5Q, Renren so about ten sub-brand. These known and unknown semicolon, Chen Zhou or start their own, or incorporated from mergers and acquisitions.
Chen Zhou explained that in WEB2.0 times, users need personalized service, several websites, different brands, like Procter & Gamble same as shampoo, there are many different brands, thousands of rubber for the same technology, for different markets and different brands. Of course, these sub-brands must be attributed to three major classes of business into, that is, the type of interaction WEB2.0 community, broadband content and wireless value-added, will not search or online games.
In a flourishing population of a large family, many sub-brands or even within the employees know little about Thousand Oaks. Chen Zhou, in the end under the cloth is a kind of chess game, outsiders do not know, this lets thousands of rubber added to a mystery.
Advance and retreat in danger listing Road
About the time the second half of 2005, an article on "Thousand Oaks at the latest will be listed in the second half of 2006," the news has spread a common topic, in accordance with industry practices, such rumors is not normally busybody brings a silly guess, but many come from the party's "planning." A few months later, a wind up to 48 million U.S. dollars into the Thousand Oaks betting.
Time to April 2006, Chen Zhou tell you: the company can be listed this year, but when, I'm not sure that many CEO financial market money, you ask why they did not understand, I am not clear , so I do not on.
As for when to "clear", which obviously is completely my own master Chen Zhou, Thousand Oaks market and back into the road is really unpredictable! Similarly, no way to know these 12 to the outside world, and also the concept of Thousand Oaks and the approximate market size of the company, especially the latter, foreigners can only traces of wealth between the weigh Chen Zhou weight.
Chen Zhou told reporters that investment in Oak Pacific early input mainly from his own, mainly from the sale of Sohu shares after another multi-million dollar income, Chen Guer hold a high percentage of shares in Thousand Oaks. Earlier this year, just for investment of 48 million U.S. dollars Thousand Oaks venture, Chen Zhou said, "not much more than share of stock, holding the hands of the right or in the management team." Value-added situation for the company, Chen claimed, "to the end of the year will turn a good itself, at least 200% rate of return."
Forbes China's richest people in 2005, Chen Zhou personal property was estimated at 500 million yuan, according to Chen disclosed the information, its assets has clearly exceeded this figure. Of course, Chen Zhou bluff, the city of Thousand Oaks brought Na before, who knows this "Old Turtle" true worth.
