rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 289 I only trust you

"Xiao Chen, what do you think of what happened this time?"

Zhou Hongyi pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked at Chen Li seriously.

"Brother Zhou~ didn't I say that?"

"You can make the decision regarding Guofeng Software. You don't need to ask for my opinion!"

Looking back at Chen Li, his tone seemed a bit perfunctory!

There is no way ~ Chen Li is only one person! But there are too many things related to him.

Now Zhou Hongyi happened to come to him at this time to talk about the company, which made Chen Li feel a little irritable!

Chen Li suddenly regretted opening the stall so wide!

Since you have decided to take the breeding route, just keep going on this road. Why bother to find a lot of things for yourself!

What is the current situation?

Chen Li's identity is a college student at the University of Foreign Studies. The new semester of classes is about to begin, but

At the same time, Chen Li is the owner of a chain of fried chicken restaurants and a chicken farm, and he also has to plan for the Y2K patch he redeemed from the system.

And in this rental house, Chen Li also made a hao123

Although hao123 does not require him to pay too much attention at present, as the average daily visits of hao123 gradually increase, the regularization of hao123 must be put on the agenda.

This made Chen Li feel very irritable because there were too many things to worry about.

But, if he were asked to give up any of these things, Chen Li would be a little reluctant.

Because any of these things are profitable, even huge profits!

But don’t give up! Chen Li is really busy by himself, so this is very confusing!

Chen Li had already anticipated the financing of Guofeng Software.

One is because of financial pressure!

The second reason is because he had discussed this issue with Zhou Hongyi before.

So Chen Li was very dissatisfied with Zhou Hongyi coming to talk to him about this matter!

After all, Chen Li had said before that Zhou Hongyi should not come to him if nothing happened, let alone come to him if something happened.

If it were normal, Chen Li would have seen off the guests long ago.

But at this moment, Zhou Hongyi had just helped him set up a matchmaking relationship, and Chen Li couldn't find it in him directly, so he could only patiently chat with Zhou Hongyi!

"Hey~ I can't make up my mind right now!"

"You are a shareholder of our company and you are quite knowledgeable, so I want to talk to you about this matter."

"Is such that."

Zhou Hongyi didn't understand the meaning of Chen Li's words at all. At this age, this guy was somewhat different from the Zhou Hongyi who came later.

The current Zhou Hongyi is actually more inclined towards technical talents. Whether it is eloquence or management ability, it is far behind the Zhou Hongyi who came later.

Uh~ Okay! In fact, Zhou Hongyi’s performance in this aspect can only be considered average.

Therefore, it is conceivable that Zhou Hongyi in 1999 was not much better than ordinary people.

Even though this guy started messing around with the company when he was in college, he looked awesome. But in fact, when something really happened, this guy would still panic and be at a loss.

Just like today, Zhou Hongyi was very panicked!

This panic is not because I went back to my old club to help with matchmaking, but because

Just two days ago, someone found him and proposed investing in Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng Software.

This made Zhou Hongyi panic!

Zhou Hongyi has never been exposed to venture capital.

When he first started his business, he went to find some people in the venture capital industry.

When he worked at Yuanzheng Group, many people were brothers to him.

But when he came out to work alone, those people almost treated him perfunctorily.

At that time, Zhou Hongyi understood that those people in the past were not calling him brothers, but "calling brothers" to the Yuanzheng Group.

Without the brand name of Yuan Zheng, Zhou Hongyi is nothing.

Later, Zhou Hongyi gave up looking for investors, turned around, found Chen Li, and started a small company.

Moreover, Zhou Hongyi also listened to Chen Li's suggestion and not to look for investors yet.

After all, no matter how good a concept is, it’s not as easy to convince people as showing off the product.

Now the Guofeng software product is undergoing final improvements. After the improvement, the product will be launched and promoted.

At this time, Guofeng Software needs a sum of funds!

Zhou Hongyi originally planned to take the 3721 they created to find those investors, but before he could find anyone, people already came to his door.

This made Zhou Hongyi a little panicked, because he discovered that Chen Li was really right about this.

When Chen Li persuaded him to stop looking for investors before, he told him that only when an Internet company has products and a mature operating system can it reach the end.

It’s not that a company that relies purely on ideas cannot succeed, but the probability of success is much smaller in comparison.

Facts have proved all this!

When the amount of investment proposed by the other party was revealed, Zhou Hongyi admitted that she was a little, no, very excited.

Fortunately, although Zhou Hongyi can't say that she has seen many big scenes at this moment, she still has some experience.

So he just stabilized the other party, and then planned to talk to people from the company and Chen Li first.

It happened that Chen Li introduced Ma Xiaoyun over at this time and asked him to help contact his old club, so at this moment Zhou Hongyi was talking to Chen Li about financing.

This scene~ is actually very different from the previous life, because aside from Chen Li’s butterfly, Guofeng Software in the previous life will have to wait a few more months to get the 25% given by the partners of IDG

Ten thousand US dollars in seed funding.

And at that time, although the two partners of IDG invested in Guofeng Software, they actually had no understanding of what Zhou Hongyi had built.

The reason for the investment was actually based on the general environment of the Internet at that time.

The period from 1995 to the end of 1999 was the time when the stock prices of Internet technology-related companies rose rapidly.

This stage lasted until March 10, 2000, when the Nasdaq Index reached 5048.62 points!

During this period, stock markets across Western countries saw rapid growth in market value in the Internet sector and related fields. Then.

"boom"!

The bubble has burst!

Yes ~ this was the Internet bubble crisis that became very famous later!

Zhou Hongyi’s Guofeng software happened to be stuck in front of this point in time, so even if the two partners from IDG didn’t understand it, they were still willing to invest in it.

First it was a seed fund of US$250,000, and then when Guofeng Software’s product was officially launched, Guofeng Software quickly received another investment of US$2 million.

There is no way ~ Before the Internet bubble burst, many people thought it was too easy to make money on the Internet.

Yes~ It’s not that the Internet is awesome, but it’s that it’s too easy to make money on the Internet.

Especially in the capital market, for an Internet company, from establishment to financing to listing, some companies even fail to produce a product until they close down.

This kind of almost ridiculous thing is not uncommon in this time period.

When a large number of investors are waving their checkbooks and flocking to the Internet industry, an idea, an idea or even a brain hole can be exchanged for a check from their pockets.

This thing has a very nice name ~ it’s called investment dream!

It sounds like investors are paying for your dream.

But in fact, it is the investors who bought your dream with their money!

The two seem to be the same, but in fact there are some differences! As for the difference, only those who have experienced it will understand!

In short~ It was in such a big environment in the previous life that Zhou Hongyi recruited employees, investors and funds, and then

Well~ the development of Guofeng Software in the previous life was not very smooth, otherwise Zhou Hongyi would not have sold Guofeng Software later.

But now because of the appearance of the butterfly Chen Li, the fate of Zhou Hongyi and Guofeng Software has deviated from the previous life from the beginning.

In her previous life, Zhou Hongyi had a hard time in the early days of starting her business.

This guy even borrowed the capital injection from Guofeng Software from his brother-in-law.

Later, for more than half a year, Guofeng Software almost persevered.

Later, Guofeng Software attracted seed investment from IDG, which alleviated the dilemma and took off.

Yes~ It just flew up, not soared into the sky.

Because the development of Guofeng Software and 3721 has not been very smooth, even Zhou Hongyi thought about giving up 3721.

Of course, that was a problem in the previous life!

At that time, Zhou Hongyi suffered from the fact that no one gave him guidance. He relied on himself and some people who did not understand the Internet to persist until the end. It can be said that he was exhausted mentally and physically.

In fact, this should be one of the reasons why Zhou Hongyi later sold 3721!

After all, compared to other Internet companies, the path taken by Guofeng Software and 3721 is too difficult.

The competitors of other Internet companies are all other companies.

Zhou Hongyi’s Guofeng Software and 3721’s rivals include industry leader Microsoft!

Of course~ Zhou Hongyi’s main pressure does not come from the leader in this industry, but from CNNIC!

This is so damn official!

Anyway, if Chen Li and Zhou Hongyi were in another position, he would probably have sold 3721 long ago.

That is to say, Zhou Hongyi, this iron-headed boy, was able to persevere until the moment of final victory.

It's a pity that Zhou Hongyi's foundation is still a bit weak.

This guy didn't seize the opportunity to occupy the domestic search market in one fell swoop. Instead, he started working with Qiandu.

In the end, Zhou Hongyi sold 3721 and directly settled in the domestic branch of a certain capital giant.

Later, Zhou Hongyi turned against him and not only left the side of the capital tycoon, but even directly launched a counterattack.

To be honest, Zhou Hongyi actually has a lot of problems, and Chen Li doesn't like him very much either.

Stubborn, with a bad temper, he is rude to others, and he has no principles or even a bottom line for himself!

But many people comment on Zhou Hongyi's life as a failure, but they ignore that Zhou Hongyi is also successful.

In fact, Zhou Hongyi’s success surpasses almost 99% of people in the world!

So even if Chen Li doesn't like this person very much, he is still willing to invest money in the other person's Chinese style software.

Likewise~ Chen Li is not the only one who has seen through this.

For example, this time I found Zhou Hongyi’s IDG Lao Wang Wang Fugui!

As a partner of IDG, this very clean person saw the "sparkling points" in Zhou Hongyi!

Even strictly speaking, this Lao Wang is the real one with a burning gaze.

Because Chen Li chose Zhou Hongyi based on the memory of his previous life, and Lao Wang was the real Bole who discovered the Chollima.

"One and a half million dollars ~ 20% of the shares!"

These are the investment conditions given by Wang Fugui!

One and a half million US dollars is nothing in the Internet industry.

Ma Xiaoyun's first investment in his previous life was more than two million US dollars.

Although it was a little difficult to attract investment for Brother Xiao Ma’s Tengxun, the first investment received more than 4 million U.S. dollars and a loan of 1 million U.S. dollars!

One and a half million U.S. dollars is not much, but Lao Wang doesn’t want much either.

20% of the shares. Even Chen Li thinks this is a suitable price.

Although he didn't know who this Lao Wang was, he had heard of IDG.

Of course, most of the time, the IDG in Chen Li's memory is actually connected to Brother Xiao Ma's Tengxun.

That's right~ It was this organization that after acquiring 20% ​​of Tencent's shares, then sold these shares.

Of course, IDG may be slightly better than the little superman in Hong Kong Island, and the selling price may be higher.

But compared with the value reflected by Tengxun in the end. Tsk~!

The conditions seem very favorable, and IDG is very sincere. But it’s just that

"IDG wants to assign a general manager to Guofeng Software?"

When Chen Li heard this, the first thought that came to his mind was rejection.

Chen Li actually knew very little about how Zhou Hongyi's Chinese style software in his previous life got to the point it did later.

But one thing can be confirmed, that is, when Guofeng Software became successful later, the actual person in charge of Guofeng Software was Zhou Hongyi, not some other cat or dog!

Chen Li had read a little bit of news in his previous life, but he didn't remember much, but it was the piece of information that impressed him the most.

It was Zhou Hongyi who personally went to negotiate deals with the agents!

It is said that Zhou Hongyi even gave up 70% of the profits in order to gain enough channels.

Guofeng Software only takes 30% and gives agents 70% of the profits!

Therefore, Chen Li is very convinced that Guofeng Software reached the end because of Zhou Hongyi, not anyone else.

So here comes the question! In the previous life, did IDG send a general manager to Guofeng Software?

Chen Li didn't know. He didn't even know whether IDG had invested in Guofeng Software in his previous life.

But now that his butterfly has appeared, no matter whether there was this general manager in the previous life, he will not and should not be there now.

"Brother Zhou! You can invest!"

"But... this general manager can't do it!"

"The person I trust is you, not some other cat or dog!"

"No matter how good the other person's resume is and how excellent it is, I don't trust it!"

"Do you get me?"

Chen Li looked at Zhou Hongyi and said this logically.

But Chen Li didn't realize that there was something in his words.

Anyway, after hearing this, Zhou Hongyi felt inexplicably moved!

"Hey~! Okay, I understand!"

"Thank you, Xiao Chen!"
