There are anecdotal reports that Liu Yan is raising money to buy back donews. Is this false news, or is it really hype?
Hard. Maybe it was a deliberate fight by mop to donews. Donews is Liu Yan single-handedly founded the website, it is not difficult to imagine, in which certainly poured him a lot of painstaking effort. As a person who has also worked on a personal site, I think a site that I personally founded, whether it succeeds or not, for the founder of this site, will be like their own children love. This kind of sentiment I think, has worked on the website, specially has done the personal website the person to have. Everyone knows that regardless of their children are smart or stupid, is promising or very timid, in the eyes of parents are baby. In fact, for the founder of the site, the feelings of a website is like a child of their own.
Donews was spoiled by mop, I mentioned it many times in my blog, and I didn't say much here. No parent is indifferent to the sight of their child being torn to death by others. Therefore, as Donews's father, Liu Yan repurchase donews is not impossible. Make a hypothesis here, assuming that the Liu Yan repurchase donews is true. But the reason, is by no means only because of his feelings to donews. I analyzed, there are two main reasons:
one, the potential interests of the drive.
Liu Yan, once a good journalist, now has to admit that he has become a successful businessman. Donews is his one-hand founder of the IT industry well-known brands, although, now by mop to spoil the appearance, but with Liu Yan for so many years for donews operations and thinking, I would like to understand the donews value, the most control of the donews, or not Liu Yan. Practice shows that the cost of saving a well-known brand is far less than the cultivation of a new brand. Liu Yan is the media, well aware of the media play and value, as the first it media platform of the eldest, Liu Yan playing a return to the hero arm is not impossible.
second, the role of the eldest brother complex.
Most people's pursuit of material things will always be satisfied. You live 100 square meters of the house can not, not live in the villa, then you live in the world's best villa head of the bar. These can be measured in terms of money. A desire that can be measured in money can always be satisfied with money. And some things can not be measured by money, of course, can not be satisfied with money. For example, the Internet man's boss episode. For example, those who once Jinshan for the king, have a large or small site webmaster, suddenly let him lose the control of that site, lost the kind of boss feeling, it is really bad. Even if you give him more money, he may be attracted by the brilliance of money, but after calm, he may be more willing to control his own creation of the site, adhere to their own in the river in the boss position, and not willing to choose to sell others.
Finally, solemnly affirmed: the above analysis is purely nonsense, if the same is pure coincidence.
