NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 203: The history of Painxun written by Mahuateng himself, the CEO of Chaoshen Group Asia is born!

Memory pulls Jiang Chao to the past life at the end of 2010.

That is a knowledge point that all Internet employees must take the test.

The birth of WeChat and the return of the king.

Zhang Xiaolong, who has always been taciturn, sent an email to Mahuateng, suggesting that Tencent develop mobile social software.

Zhang Xiaolong believes that the mobile Internet will have a new communication tool in the future, and this new communication tool is likely to pose a great threat to QQ.

Mahuateng quickly responded to the email, agreed with Zhang Xiaolong’s idea, and asked him to lead Tencent’s Guangzhou R&D Department to start the project as the person in charge.

(Jiang Chao is skeptical here. If he succeeds, he will definitely brag that he can quickly respond to people and respond well, but in fact, what the hell have you been doing in the past 6 years? Have you been letting people mess with your mailbox?)

In early 2011, the WeChat iOS version was launched, but user growth was not ideal.

Zhang Xiaolong suddenly realized whether WeChat was too rational. Would it be better to add some literary or humanistic elements? Maybe WeChat in 2011 was too utilitarian and realist.

From then on, Zhang Xiaolong gave up rational thinking and began to arm himself as a literary young man.

At the same time, WeChat began to add some more human-friendly functions, such as finding nearby people, Moments, and shaking...

Successfully made WeChat a convenient app for hooking up, oh no, making friends.

When soul saw it, he called him the originator.

But after that, Zhang Xiaolong completely developed in the direction of facilitating people in all fields such as work and study.

In 2012, Zhang Xiaolong proposed a new point of view: WeChat is a way of life.

Many people feel that Zhang Xiaolong is becoming less and less like a rigorous programmer, and more like a "master of deception" who sells concepts.

Since then, WeChat has been out of control. In the field of mobile Internet, WeChat has no evenly matched competitors, and Zhang Xiaolong still has enough opportunities for trial and error, including e-commerce, advertising, and games.

Mahuateng has given Zhang Xiaolong full responsibility for the commercialization of WeChat.

WeChat has become the app with the highest daily active users and the most registered mobile phone users in China. Zhang Xiaolong, the father of WeChat, was also named the “2012 China Innovator of the Year” by the Wall Street Journal.

Jiang Chao likes innovative talents like this the most.

He doesn't like people who work hard, he likes people who can come up with new ideas.

"Or, you can just ask him to come to Hangzhou."

"Now?"

"uh-huh."

"He's in Guangzhou. Is Boss Jiang Chao too impatient?" Cai Chongshen has always felt that poaching people is a protracted battle. There is no way to ask people to come directly. Shouldn't they make a phone call to express their attitude first?

"I can wait for him here all day."

"I'm going..." Even the elegant Cai Chongshen almost cursed.

What's going on? Jiang Chao is so concerned about an executive from a small department?

Now Paixun is mainly engaged in the major QQ diamond business and gaming business, and the mailbox business is all about generating electricity for love. Why is Jiang Chao so anxious for a senior executive?

It's not that Jiang Chao is impatient, but that time waits for no one.

"Okay, then I don't need to fight him. You call him over."

"In your name?"

"Whatever, with you, Vice President of Alibaba, can you please help me?"

"That will definitely work!" Alibaba and Tongxun are the two giants of China's Internet. Naturally, Cai Chongshen will not consider himself inferior to Tongxun.

Then Boss Cai arranged for Jiang Chao to rest in the best hotel near the West Lake.

Jiang Chao, who was in the hotel, searched the Internet for the progress of Chinese Internet companies. By the way, he also had a phone call with Brother Dong to invest in Jingdong Takeout. Both Boss Cai and Brother Dong were confused as to why Jiang Chao was in such a hurry. It was really not that he was in a hurry, but that

This industry is developing too fast.

Originally, he would not share the big pie of the Internet, but since Boss Cai has outlined his grand plan, it is impossible for him to abandon WeChat, the biggest piece of WeChat business.

Because the Internet has developed so fast in China in recent years, Taobao and JD.com are established, QQ Games and major players are deeply rooted, and there is no room for their own investment. Except for his full investment shortly after the establishment of League of Legends

Invest in shares.

If he didn't meet Zhang Xiaolong now, his proposal would probably have been reviewed by Mahua Teng during his next trip to China.

And then it blossomed even faster, with Zhang Yiming’s ByteDance, Rayong’s Smartisan Technology, Didi being established, including WeChat’s users exceeding 100 million a year after its establishment, the Bilibili app being launched, Kuaishou transforming into a short video community…

Can you believe that all of this was completed within one year?

When Jiang Chao comes next time, the Chinese Internet may change.

That night, although Ma Yun did not come to see Jiang Chao, he sent him a "big gift".

The only person who knocked on the door of Jiang Chao's room was a charming woman wearing a Chinese cheongsam.

Originally Jiang Chao hated this kind of business beauties, but after seeing her, Jiang Chao felt that he could go to the battlefield today.

The first person to wear cheongsam in China is not the most beautiful, but she has the most feminine flavor of the Republic of China cheongsam that everyone has experienced from literary works.

Tang Shen, the eternal Wei.

"Are you from Hangzhou?"

"Yes~" Outside the movie, she had a melancholic temperament, her eyes were dull, and she lit a cigarette for Jiang Chao first, which gave her the same feeling as in "The Last Night on Earth".

It turned out to be Tang Wei who had been banned from filming a certain ring. Everyone was an adult. The two of them smoked cigarettes and talked about movies together. Looking at the bright moon over the West Lake and the beauty next to him, Jiang Chao felt for a moment that he

It's so interesting to travel to the Republic of China.

If you hear the title "Artistic Young Woman", the first actress that the audience will think of is none other than Tang Wei.

And the next thing happened naturally. Adult men and women each took what they wanted. You must know that Ah Li invited Tang Wei to come over. Tang Wei originally sternly refused to pretend to be literary... but after hearing Jiang Chao, he came over half-heartedly. This recommendation was

It was just her last act of arrogance.

Literary young women are the group of people who are most likely to fall.

After tonight, Jiang Chao also introduced Tang Wei to the crew of "Thirteen Hairpins". What is a bit regretful about "Thirteen Hairpins" in later generations is that Ni Ni is too outstanding, and according to Lao Mouzi's script, several of the 13 people are

Flesh and blood.

Therefore, Tang Shen is very suitable. In a certain ring, I feel that she will be very suitable for filming "Thirteen Hairpins". It would be great to form a cheongsam double flower with Ni Ni.

"Start learning more blue whale words now, and don't do this again in the future."

The next day, when Tang Wei was undressing Jiang Chao and taking a bath, Jiang Chao gave her a smile.

"That's what all men say~"

Tang smiled bitterly, but little did she know that when the assistant director of "Thirteen Hairpins" found her later, he successfully changed the life trajectory of this Hangzhou beauty in advance.

It's almost late autumn, but people are still young.

"Even if it's really late, what does it matter.

All time does not pass in vain.

I feel that as long as good works are performed, we should keep moving forward, and it is appropriate to start at any time. The most fearful thing is not to always stay at the original place and hesitate to move forward."

This is Tang Wei's classic sentence in front of the media. She is still a elegant cheongsam girl by the West Lake when she comes back. This is the foundation!

"Boss Jiang, can I join your company secretly..." As if he was also afraid that his reputation would affect Jiang Chao, Tang Wei gave Jiang Chao a refreshing exercise in the morning and then half-knelt on the bedside and lowered his head to ask.

"If you have anything to keep secret, just join if you want. I don't mind so many."

In fact, Jiang Chao wants to say that netizens don't mind so much. Sometimes it's normal for art. If you don't take pictures and I don't take pictures, then who else will take pictures?

Just give a wonderful performance. In Jiang Chao's eyes, the unparalleled woman of the Republic of China is just like Tang Wei. Her acting skills are good and her character is good.

"Thank you!!" Tang Wei closed the curtains, naked, and happily performed a beautiful dance for Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao was mesmerized by the sight.

Holding red wine in this hand, it feels like reading Memoirs of a Geisha.

…

The next day, Jiang Chao successfully met with Zhang Xiaolong, who came quickly. It was not suitable for colleagues to meet. Cai Chongshen left after arranging for them the best spot to view the lake outside the building.

When Jiang Chao faced Zhang Xiaolong, who was several levels below him, he said directly:

"I will tell you not to tell secrets. You are sorry to hear this. Mr. Zhang, I formally invite you to come to the strategic investment research department of our Chaoshen Group. You will also serve as the CEO of Chaoshen Group in Asia, which is where I work.

Asia’s deputy, how about it?”

"this……"

Zhang Xiaolong was flattered. Jiang Chao invited him like this from the beginning, which really shocked him. What happened?

Now he only plays a small role in managing mailboxes. Jiang Chao directly asked him to be the CEO of Asia?

Although he also knew that the main business of Chaoshen Group was carried out in New York, he also knew that Jiang Chao was short of manpower, Lai Shixian was so busy that Jiang Chao forced him to come to his house for a week, and the Chaoshen Sports factory opened in Tianjin were all senior executives of Anta

Taking care of...

Then Jiang Chao dropped the "bomb.":

"I have been thinking about researching and launching a free application that provides instant messaging services for smart terminals. I wonder if you are interested in working together to do this?"

This is a typical hard-to-get approach.

Jiang Chao would not say that he knew Zhang Xiaolong was researching this. What he said was that he himself was researching this, and it happened to be the same as what Zhang Xiaolong was researching. Only then would they hit it off, otherwise others would think you were stealing business secrets.

This kind of talking skills rarely appears on Jiang Chao's side. When it does appear, it proves that he values ​​him and must join him.

The first is his management level. He has a master's degree in telecommunications from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He was the boss of the previous company. After that, he tolerated Tongxun for so many years and managed WeChat well.

If Zhang Xiaolong hadn't created WeChat for Tongxun, Jiang Chao even wondered whether Tongxun would still be as awesome as he was later.

QQ is doomed when it encounters direct competitors. Now the most popular space, Friends Network, and diamonds of various colors will definitely reduce their income because users are divided by the market. The game industry that Tongxun most depends on for survival will also be affected by this.

The loss of users will indirectly reduce the number of users.

And as the later Vice President of Tongxun, Zhang Xiaolong has always been in charge of scientific research. Without him, Tongxun would have been labeled as "plagiarism", "only acquisition" and "just bad money", right?

"Ah? Really?? I recently sent this proposal email to Mr. Ma!"

Sure enough, after Jiang Chao said these words, Zhang Xiaolong felt as if he had met a close friend, and it was a close friend who had come from heaven!

OMG, Jiang Chao is planning to do this too?

A free application that provides instant messaging services for smart terminals!

Doesn't this coincide?

"Did Mr. Ma pass?"

"No news." Zhang Xiaolong, who is now the head of the QQ mailbox, rubbed his head in embarrassment.

Jiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's okay. Consider resigning and working with me."

Zhang Xiaolong looked at Boss Jiang with gleaming eyes, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

He could tell from the brief exchange that Jiang Chao understood. In front of him was the billionaire owner of the Knicks. A young entrepreneur who had recently achieved great success in his business, he could be considered half of his idol. Why half?

Because Jiang Chao did not invest heavily in the recent trend of the Internet, Jiang Chao actually invested in an American game in the Internet industry. In the eyes of Chinese investors, it was scornful. Is "Ask" not fun or is "Fantasy Westward Journey" not good enough?

But the flaws are not concealed. At least the team, news platform, sneaker brand, and entertainment company are thriving... Anyway, the vision is really good. Chaoshen Group's New Year's greetings have the highest click rate this month on Tudou.com, and Zhang Xiaolong has

After watching it several times, these people have already won in advance just by virtue of their looks. Netizens all over Asia are lamenting where Jiang Chao found so many beautiful ladies.

so……

Such a top idol entrepreneur wants to be his deputy?

Are there a lot of Wall Street experts vying for this position?

"What? Don't you want to? I'll give you an annual salary of 1 million, and you can get 1.5% of the shares of the Super God Research Department." This means that you can also get commissions on the things you research!

For this kind of entrepreneurial talents, the only way to make them loyal is to give them enough money, which is enough money for them to earn on their own. Jiang Chao spared no effort in this regard.

Chaoshen Group's current innovation power lies in him and Li Ning's designer Ma Xun, and the person in front of him will be mainly responsible for the management of Tencent's Guangzhou R&D Department in the future, and will also participate in the management and review of Tencent's major innovation projects.

Innovative research leader.

And he seems to be friends with Mr. Cai.

From then on, their friendly cooperation in Asia will be complete.

To be honest, Jiang Chao also likes Boss Cai as his deputy. He is the boss who really led the Eighteen Arhats to formulate legal contracts from scratch. He also spent 1.1 billion US dollars to take over the Nets' mess, and he has the ability to win championships in a few years.

, the Chinese owner who outshone the Knicks...

But there is no way, people and Ali Baba can no longer be separated.

On the other hand, this Zhang Xiaolong does not have any shares in Tongxun so far. After all, he is "raised by his stepmother" (acquired by Tongxun), so he is still very suitable to be Jiang Chao's helper in Asia.

Although the things Jiang Chao invests in are quite complicated, except for the "supertalk" that Zhang Xiaolong is preparing to develop, the rest is just a small case for him.

Chaoshen Sports has parent company Anta to help, Hupu Forum, "Basketball Pioneer News" and other social-related things, isn't it simple for Zhang Xiaolong, and he does not need to take care of the entertainment aspect, he will definitely be Jiang Chao's reliable force in the future

.

"Yes, yes! I am willing to be your trainee secretary, and I want to learn from you."

“It’s not about studying, but it’s still possible to improve your ideas.”

"Okay, then I'll send my resignation letter to Painxun right now."

When Zhang Xiaolong directly picked up his laptop to edit his resignation letter, Jiang Chao directly stated why he wanted to develop Super Chat.

Echoing the topic we talked about with Zhang Xiaolong at the beginning!

He is really thinking!

One reason is to cooperate with Chaoshen Group’s existing Chaoshen Forum and International Pioneer Newspaper, which are media platforms with a lot of daily activity.

After the invention of ChaoLiao, user sharing became more popular, attracting users to directly log in to all apps and websites owned by ChaoShen.

For pure chat, go to Super Chat. Want to read professional forums and social news, and also want to comment? No problem, just share and log in with one click!

"What a great idea!"

"I still have a lot of ideas..."

Jiang Chao thought to the people around you, it took a year for the shake function to be launched. I will tell you directly when the time comes.

In addition, Jiang Chao himself is a super user who has integrated the Ali Baba chat platform, Tantan, Momo, Soul, including QQ, which later gradually transformed through the QQ group.

Again, he can learn from each other's strengths and make up for his weaknesses, making ChaoChat the most practical and comprehensive social chat software in the world!

"Mr. Ma approved it for me..." What shocked Zhang Xiaolong was that his resignation letter was approved after just one minute. It was so heart-wrenching... It didn't take him seriously at all.

Jiang Chao smiled slightly. Sure enough, Ma Hua Teng's painful history was written by himself. He knew that it was definitely not Ma Hua Teng's clever eyesight that could bury a person for so long before he was discovered. It was just luck at most.

.

"Then, welcome to join Chaoshen Group! In the future, it will be up to you to coordinate the work of Chaoshen's Internet department and various departments in Asia."
