rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 229 Don’t come to me if you have nothing to do~ Don’t bother me if you have something to do!

Nine times out of ten things in life are not what you want.

This sentence is really suitable for Zhou Hongyi recently.

As a former employee of a large Internet company these days, Zhou Hongyi once boasted that she was the most talented programmer of Yuanzheng Group.

As a programmer with high self-esteem, Zhou Hongyi chose to start her own business after receiving no support from the company.

This is actually quite normal nowadays!

It is said that Mr. Ma from Tengxun also started his own business after receiving no support from his employer.

The year is 1998, and this is the era when the Internet industry has completely exploded.

On the far side of the ocean, an Internet bubble is forming, but there are probably only a few people who can break it.

Anyway, Zhou Hongyi is definitely not one of them.

So in Zhou Hongyi's opinion, if he has a good idea and technical talents willing to follow him, he can take off as long as he gets enough funds.

Zhou Hongyi accomplished the first two points. He decided to conduct a real-name search on the Internet in Chinese, and took away several of his programmers from Yuanzheng.

At this moment, it can be said that everything is ready and all we need is the east wind.

But this east wind is not very fond of him, Zhou Lang!

On the surface, the Internet market is in a prosperous state, but when Zhou Hongyi walked to the stage, he discovered that the market was indeed prosperous, but it was not as easy as he imagined.

According to Zhou Hongyi's original idea, he had good ideas and good technical talents, so he should not worry about investment.

But Zhou Hongyi ignored one issue: businessmen are all about profit!

At present, Zhou Hongyi has nothing. Apart from a concept, there are no other products, market strategies, brands, or business models.

That's it. Zhou Hongyi went to attract investment, and she was really lucky if she could get it.

When Zhou Hongyi was at Yuanzheng Group before, she actually met some people from venture capital funds, and it was clear that these people had good conversations with her before.

He said that when he, Lao Zhou, has a good project, he will definitely invest in it.

But when Zhou Hongyi came to the door, almost everyone was talking about him!

Perfunctory~ It’s all perfunctory!

The few who were willing to invest were the ones who wanted nearly half of the equity. Zhou Hongyi was so angry that she almost smashed the ashtray on his head.

Facts have proved that after leaving the big platform of Yuanzheng Group, Zhou Hongyi was nothing.

After going around for half a month, Zhou Hongyi didn't get a penny.

Even the money to register the company was borrowed by Zhou Hongyi from her daughter-in-law's brother-in-law.

And what makes Zhou Hongyi most ashamed is that his wife not only used her family's savings, but even strongly supported him in starting a business.

In the words of his wife, she can work and make money, which can support her and Zhou Hongyi.

A very simple sentence, but it directly touched Zhou Hongyi's heart!

So he went round and round, and finally Zhou Hongyi thought of the young man who wanted to invest in him half a month ago.

After a phone call, Zhou Hongyi came to the rental house where she had visited once again.

Of course, Zhou Hongyi didn't know that this was a rental house. He even thought that the house belonged to Chen Li.

You must know that Chen Li easily spent more than 100,000 yuan last time, but this year's 100,000 yuan can already buy a smaller house in Yanjing.

In a not-so-familiar room, Zhou Hongyi met the young man who had little impression of him.

However, in the first words they met, the young man gave Zhou Hongyi bad news.

"Mr. Zhou~ You are late, I have already spent the money."

Chen Li poured a glass of water for Zhou Hongyi without even putting the tea in it, and then told Zhou Hongyi the truth straightforwardly.

"Ah~oh! It's okay. I'm just here to talk to Boss Chen about the future of the Internet."

Zhou Hongyi's hand holding the water glass trembled, and then she found a step for herself.

It is absolutely false to say that Zhou Hongyi does not regret at this moment.

At first, Chen Li almost handed the money to him, but he was so ambitious that he couldn't see the small amount of funds and declined.

Although Zhou Hongyi did not directly reject Chen Li at that time, she did not contact Chen Li for half a month. Who could not understand the meaning of this?

My family knew about their own affairs, and Zhou Hongyi at that time really looked down on Chen Li's hundreds of thousands, so what can Zhou Hongyi say now?

Now and then, he was so ambitious half a month ago, so he naturally had to bear the consequences.

"Mr. Zhou, there is actually nothing to talk about about the future of the Internet."

Chen Li waved his hand. He was too lazy to talk to Zhou Hongyi about the future of the Internet.

To chat with this guy, Chen Li might as well go to Zhongguancun and chat with Brother Dong!

"Now everyone knows that the future is an era of highly developed Internet information, so there is no need to talk about the prospects of the Internet."

"But the key point is whether we can choose the right entry point."

"I said at the beginning that I am optimistic about Mr. Zhou's concept of online real-names, so I plan to invest in you."

"But you refused at the time. I know you didn't refuse directly."

When Chen Li saw Zhou Hongyi wanted to refute, he quickly waved his hand to stop him.

"Let's not talk secretly. I know you didn't like my little money at that time, so I invested it elsewhere."

"I don't have much money on hand now, and I only have tens of thousands of dollars in spare money. If Mr. Zhou needs it, I will still support you."

"Mr. Zhou~ Don't worry about the lack of money first."

Zhou Hongyi wanted to speak again, but Chen Li didn't give him a chance.

"It's not that I'm picking on you, but that I did invest my money elsewhere."

"I rented dozens of acres of land on the outskirts of the city, so I'm not that rich financially."

"To tell you the truth, I got these tens of thousands of dollars from my girlfriend."

"What can I promise you now?"

"I will take out one hundred thousand yuan! But the money will be divided into two batches."

"I will give you fifty thousand first, and the remaining fifty thousand will be given to you next month."

"I know this money isn't much, but let's set up the stall first."

"After all, you only have one idea now and nothing else. Let's perfect the other things first and then talk about anything else."

Zhou Hongyi in 1998 was not the eloquent professional manager that she became later.

This guy is now a somewhat arrogant programmer, but he has to lower his arrogant head because he has no money.

In fact, at the beginning, after receiving the call, Chen Li originally wanted to reject Zhou Hongyi.

The reason is simple, he really has no money on hand.

After renting the sixty acres of land, Chen Li spent another 50,000 yuan on the infrastructure of the chicken farm. Chen Li opened another branch, and purchased some equipment for the chicken farm. Finally, Chen Li had everything in his hands.

There is only about ten thousand yuan left.

In the past half month, the fried chicken restaurant has made some income, but the total amount is less than 30,000 yuan.

Therefore, when Zhou Hongyi called him, Chen Li never thought about it at all.

Later, Zhou Hongyi apologized to Chen Li on the phone and made an appointment to meet. It was obvious that Zhou Hongyi really wanted to get a sum of money from him.

After Chen Li hung up the phone, he thought about it for half an hour.

Finally, Chen Li decided to get some money to give to Zhou Hongyi.

He called Li Yuan and said he wanted to borrow money. Then Li Yuan didn't know if his brain was enlightened. When he heard that Chen Li wanted to borrow money, he guessed that Chen Li was definitely going to cause trouble.

So Li Yuan changed the loan to a loan and directly transferred the money to Chen Li in the name of investment.

Last year, Li Yuan followed Chen Li to cook barbecue in the county town and earned more than 10,000 yuan. At that time, Li Yuan lent the money to his old man Li Dazhi. For this reason, Li Dazhi wrote an IOU to Li Yuan.

Later, Li Yuan ran a school liquor store and charged nearly 40,000 yuan, which added up to 50,000 yuan.

All this money was in Li Yuan's father's hands, but Li Yuan finally took out 30,000 yuan from his father's pocket.

Li Dazhi actually made a lot of money doing engineering work last year.

But when it comes to engineering projects these days, it’s hard to find too much money~! So Li Yuan still spent a lot of effort to get money.

It is said that this guy went directly from Nancheng to Rongcheng last night. It is said that he staged a scene of crying, making trouble and hanging himself.

Chen Li also received a call from his old man last night, asking what kind of trouble Chen Li was planning to do.

You must know that because of Wang Jianjun's existence, Chen Guofu was quite familiar with his son's movements during this period.

Chen Liguang spent 90,000 to rent the land, and then spent tens of thousands more to build a chicken farm, which made Chen Guofu very worried.

You must know that he is now helping manage materials in Li Dazhi's engineering team, and his monthly salary is only 1,200 yuan.

This is already nearly three times his salary at the grain station last year.

But compared with Chen Li's expenses, Chen Guofu was simply frightened.

Just the money Chen Li spent during this National Day holiday would have taken Chen Guofu 10 years to earn.

As a result, Chen Li is now asking Li Yuan to borrow money, which makes Chen Guofu even more worried.

In the end, Chen Li persuaded his old man with hard words. He also said that the income of the fried chicken restaurant was there. Chen Li was also tough in his words and had high credibility.

This morning, Li Yuan called Chen Li 30,000 yuan and warned Chen Li not to lose money to him.

It is said that Li Yuan signed a contract with his father for the 30,000 yuan.

In the end, Li Dazhi gave the money to Li Yuan, but Li Yuan had to promise to study hard during college, otherwise, his living expenses would be cut off.

Anyway, the way these two men get along is basically something that other people can't learn from.

In the end, Chen Li had nearly 60,000 yuan in hand, and he planned to get some money from Zhou Hongyi.

After all, he knows very well that if 3721 is sold for US$120 million in the future, he only needs to hold a small share in it. In the end, he will make a lot of money.

As for Zhou Hongyi, he actually had no choice.

If Chen Li had reduced his investment half a month ago, Zhou Hongyi would definitely have walked away, and he might even have yelled at Chen Li for looking down on him.

But now it is Zhou Hongyi who is in the wrong first, and secondly Chen Li has given him enough steps. Even Chen Li is still helping him make suggestions.

Therefore, Zhou Hongyi couldn't find any reason to refuse Chen Li's investment.

Finally, the two agreed! Chen Li invested 100,000 yuan and got 3721. No, it should be called Guofeng Software now.

In the end, Chen Li invested 100,000 and took 20% of the shares of Guofeng Software.

Zhou Hongyi, her classmates, sister, and others raised 150,000 yuan and invested in equipment, technology, and management, taking 80% of the shares.

If you look at the shares alone, Chen Li is at a bit of a disadvantage.

But in fact, Chen Li knew that he had made a fortune!

Because Zhou Hongyi does not need him to participate in management, and does not want him to participate in management and actual operations. To put it bluntly, Chen Li is just a hands-off shopkeeper.

He paid 100,000 yuan, and Zhou Hongyi took care of everything else by herself!

Of course, Chen Li didn't really do a hand-throwing story.

After signing the relevant contract with Zhou Hongyi, Chen Li chatted with Zhou Hongyi about the future of Guofeng Software.

Chen Li actually knew very little about the final successful promotion of 3721 in his previous life.

Because it’s not that Chen Li doesn’t understand, but the biggest reason why 3721 has been so successfully promoted is because of its rogue nature.

The father of rogue software who will become famous in the future is Zhou Hongyi.

Of course, Zhou Hongyi hasn't done this yet, so Chen Li can't talk to her about it.

What is most important right now?

The first step is to determine product direction, develop products, establish brand value, and formulate relevant market strategies and related business models.

Among them, market strategy and business model are two points that will be discussed for future investors and customers.

Therefore, the most important thing for Guofeng Software at present is the first two points, determining product direction and developing products.

Regarding these two points, Zhou Hongyi actually discussed this matter when she met Chen Li last time.

Real-name network and realize Chinese vocabulary search!

At present, this market is relatively blank in China.

Li Yanhong, the biggest rival of 3721 in the future, is still working on the other side of the ocean! Some other small businesses have no intention of setting foot in this field.

Therefore, in the previous life, Zhou Hongyi’s 3721 developed so fast. Apart from its rogue software characteristics, the biggest reason was that in its early days of business, there were no competitors at all.

Although competitors appeared one after another in the later period, 3721 had already established a firm foothold at that time. Even if the opponents were strong, 3721 was not without its ability to fight.

It wasn't until the predators appeared later that Zhou Hongyi cashed out and left the market in time.

Don't look at Zhou Hongyi's previous life and later that she always said she regretted selling 3721. That is pure nonsense.

At that time, one was his 3721 and the other was Li Yanhong’s Qiandu. Both of them actually attracted the attention of a certain Internet giant.

No matter who is acquired, another opponent will soon face the Internet giant.

Zhou Hongyi’s 3721 was acquired, so Li Yanhong’s Qiandu finally became a rival with the Internet giant.

But what I never expected was that the Internet giant actually outsmarted me, and Li Yanhong's Qiandu won in the end.

In the end, Qiandu became the number one search website in China, and 3721 was finally killed by Zhou Hongyi herself.

If we change the perspective, assuming that it was Li Yanhong’s Qiandu that was acquired by the predator! Then what kind of scene will Zhou Hongyi look like when facing that Internet predator?

Chen Li did not continue to think about it, but based on his preliminary understanding of Zhou Hongyi, it was unlikely that Zhou Hongyi would win in the end.

Of course, this does not mean that the Internet giant will win. After all, this giant's brain is somewhat awkward.

But in fact, this "hypothesis" thing actually has no meaning!

After all, any assumption is actually false until something actually happens.

Even now that Chen Li has invested in Guofeng Software, he has no intention of interfering with Zhou Hongyi.

He just wanted to hitch a ride and earn some "pocket money" along the way.

So ~ after Chen Li signed the contract with Zhou Hongyi, they agreed on a payment time. Then, Chen Li reminded the other party a few words and asked Zhou Hongyi to quickly come up with the product direction and specific products.

Afterwards, Chen Li left a few words and waved goodbye to Zhou Hongyi happily!

The words left by Chen Li were

"Don't come to me if you have nothing to do, and don't bother me if you have something to do!"
