My Age of Investment

One thousand five hundred and fifteen, slap 0 on the face

Looking at Wang Xiaochuan with a disappointed look on his face, Xia Jingxing knew that what he said had gone into the other person's heart and immediately broke his guard.

Seeing this, Xia Jingxing struck while the iron was hot and said: "It is precisely because Sogou is one step behind that Qianxun's dominant position is constantly being strengthened. Charles cannot see the hope of defeating Qianxun, so he just muddles along.

You tried to change this situation, so you quickly led the team to create the Sogou Pinyin input method. Although you did not get much support from Charles, the "Internet thesaurus" pioneered by you and your team greatly improved the accuracy and accuracy of Chinese input. Work efficiency has won the favor of hundreds of millions of users. In just four years since its launch, the software has ranked first in the industry, with a market share as high as 87.8%.

You soon realized that the market share of the browser will directly determine the ownership of the search engine market, so you made up your mind to build a browser, but Charles rejected your request on the grounds that Microsoft IE browser has a high degree of market dominance.

In the end, you decided not to listen to Charles' orders and formed a small team in Sogou to secretly develop the browser, creating an established fact.

I heard that when Charles found out that you were disobeying orders, he was so angry that he almost fired you, but in the end he still cherished your talent and did not kill you. "

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "It can be seen that Charles still values ​​you very much. If such a bad incident of blatant disobedience of orders occurred in our company, it would not be a matter of sitting on the bench for more than ten months.

However, in my company, there will never be an outstanding vice president and his team working alone, nor will there be regrets and regrets about missed opportunities. "

Wang Xiaochuan was speechless by Xia Jingxing's statement of facts. He wanted to defend Charles, but found that all his defenses were weak.

What would happen if Xia Jingxing was sitting in Charles' position?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he quickly dismissed it. He didn't know why, but Xia Jingxing was inexplicably led into memories and regrets, and then he had thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Xia Jingxing continued: "Although Charles values ​​you, he doesn't value Sogou at all.

He is a good and loyal brother, but he is not a good entrepreneur.

I heard that Zhou Hongyi almost sold the browser and used the search engine and input method to jointly run a new company with 360 after being encouraged by Zhou Hongyi.

Fortunately, you resolved this crisis in time, otherwise the tragedy that has been staged will happen again, and Sogou will fall into the endless abyss and lose the opportunity to stand in front of Qianxun forever. "

Wang Xiaochuan finally spoke, and he defended his good brother as soon as he opened his mouth: "Charles has his own considerations."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "What are you considering? How can we create a new listed company besides Sohu and Changyou?

After missing out on 360's express train to go public, he set his sights on Ali, hoping to use Ali's e-commerce search pure land to lay a solid foundation for Sogou's listing. "

Having said this, Xia Jingxing shook his head repeatedly, "With all due respect, if Sogou continues on this path, I'm afraid the best outcome would be to occupy a single-digit market share in the top percentile and become a small and medium-sized company with a market capitalization of one billion US dollars." Beautiful company.

Charles may be happy with this fruitful result. After all, he only has two companies under his control with a market value of hundreds of millions and more than one billion. If he adds another company, he will be extremely happy!

But what about you? "

Xia Jingxing looked straight at Wang Xiaochuan and asked: "Have you realized your personal ideal? Wang is a student model in the eyes of teachers, an idol in the minds of students, the earliest search engine developer in China, and as famous as Robin Li. Ogawa, is this your pursuit? To build a small company that can barely go public?"

Being ridiculed by Xia Jingxing, Wang Xiaochuan did not get angry or have any big emotional fluctuations. He still looked at the former with a smile and said: "Mr. Xia, my pursuit is not high. I am already satisfied with a listed company."

Xia Jingxing chuckled softly, "Don't call me Mr. Xia, just call me Jing Xing or Lao Xia. We senior brothers will open the sky and speak openly today. Are you really satisfied with the status quo?"

Charles could agree to Zhou Hongyi's merger yesterday, accept Jack Ma's investment today, and accept Robin Li's acquisition tomorrow!

Without Sogou, Charles is still the Internet veteran who loves to climb mountains, ride yachts, and loves beautiful women. What have you, Wang Xiaochuan, gained? What about equity incentives? I'm afraid you haven't noticed it yet.

What you really long for is a platform that is enough for you to display all your talents, a partner who can unswervingly support you, and a backing that can compete with Qianxun!

I can satisfy you with exactly what you need!

If you join Overseas Holdings, I will not give you six people to kill Qianxun, but will give you six billion as a special fund to "fight Qianxun".

Whether you want to acquire a company, develop a new project, or engage in an advertising price war with Qianxun, you can withdraw funds from this special fund.

In short, my goal is to increase the search engine market share and make Robin Li sleepless. "

It has to be said that Wang Xiaochuan was very tempted by Xia Jingxing's conditions.

These conditions were something he could not obtain from Charles. If he could have gained more support in the early years, Sogou's search engine would not have the market share it has today.

However, Wang Xiaochuan always remained calm in the face of attractive conditions, and he also had his own persistence.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Xiaochuan said: "Mr. Xia Jingxing, I am very grateful that you trust and appreciate me so much, but I still hope that Sogou can maintain its independent status."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "Independent status and the right to speak out are what all entrepreneurs love and pursue. As an aside, in my mind, you are an entrepreneur, not a professional manager.

However, you missed the opportunity. Ten years ago, if you had run Sun Wukong Search alone and continued to receive financing, the situation might be different now. Maybe Robin Li’s status today belongs to you. .

But there is no assumption in reality. Sogou was hatched from within Sohu, and it was destined to be controlled by others from the beginning.

No matter how many times you join forces, move around, and move around, you can't compare with Robin Li, who is dictatorial in the company, and you are inherently inferior.

Sogou has only one chance of victory, and that is to settle internal strife, unify political orders, and work hard to fight Qianxun.

But fighting Qianxun to death is absolutely unacceptable to Charles. Although Ahri and Yunfeng Fund are powerful, they are only small shareholders of Sogou and cannot spare no effort to support you.

I am different. I must give Robin Li a long memory. "

Wang Xiaochuan asked with a smile: "Are you so hostile to Qianxun? Is it because of the ban some time ago?"

Xia Jingxing shook his head, "This is just an introduction. The bigger contradiction is that every giant has the ambition to dominate China's Internet.

Compared with Robin Lee, Jack Ma, and Bonima, Charles, Pork Ding, and Accountant Cao's ambitions are still too small, and their methods are not fierce enough.

If domestic holdings want to develop, they cannot avoid competition with several giants. "

"Including Ahri?" Wang Xiaochuan suddenly asked.

"certainly!"

Xia Jingxing smiled. This was the first time he admitted that Overseas Holdings would regard Ahri as an imaginary enemy. Some things cannot be avoided after all, because as the company continues to expand, there will be no dividing lines between the giants. There will be confrontation in all business lines.

Wang Xiaochuan fell into deep thought. Xia Jingxing's ambition was greater than he imagined. It would be great if Charles was so enterprising, he thought to himself.

"I have told you all my plans without reservation, and I also hope you will give me an answer.

The choice is up to you whether you want to slap Qianxun in the face or not! "

Xia Jingxing gradually suppressed his smile and stared at Wang Xiaochuan with burning eyes.
