Chicken and eggs on the Internet

Some people say they can make a fortune. It becomes more famous when it comes to finance.
Some people make money first. You must be famous immediately. If you get your name, you can make a fortune.

This seems to involve a chicken or an egg. This seems like a permanent debate.
As the Internet grew to the 21st century, many chickens and eggs emerged.
Traditional Enterprises are a chicken. The chicken is raised to give birth to more eggs. Let the eggs give birth to more chickens.

The emergence of the Internet. It has changed the global environment. A lot of eggs are naked. They only have one of the two purposes
1. Found by other chickens. Save as your eggs
2. Turn yourself into a chicken.

At present, it seems that becoming a chicken is not the first goal of many Internet companies. We hope to gather more eggs to cheat the chickens.
Lucky enough to find a hen, so he was given his income. It is incubated into a chicken by the hen.
Bad luck. The chicken is dead. Together.

A friend who once worked in a state-owned enterprise resigned and then worked in an Internet company. He cannot figure it out. His current company does not seem to be profitable, and he is constantly exploring new businesses and expanding the company.
I told him that this company is an egg. It will eventually become a chicken
