rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 399 Hao123 in June 1999

A meal~ From the "emotional" at the beginning to the "rattling" later!

Chen Li received compensation, and Ma Xiaoyun also paid the price for his actions.

Simply speaking, this matter itself is likely to damage the cooperative relationship between the two.

But in fact~ Ma Xiaoyun was very happy to share the shares, so happy that he seemed to be ready from the beginning.

Of course ~ this is just an appearance.

The reason why Ma Xiaoyun was so happy was because as early as when he founded Red Pony Technology, he had thought about giving Chen Li a certain amount of shares to the team behind him, but Chen Li did not agree at the time.

Originally, Ma Xiaoyun, Zhou Hongyi and others wanted to let Chen Li hold 50% of the shares of Red Pony Technology on their behalf.

Since it is a proxy, it is self-evident who it represents.

However, this plan was rejected by Chen Li at the beginning, because Chen Li knew very well what Ma Xiaoyun had in mind.

A red pony with the team behind Chen Li and a red pony without this team are completely different things.

Chen Li didn't mind occasionally taking the initiative to help the red pony, but only if the initiative was in his hands.

He doesn't want this to become an obligation! Because he knows very well that this share is not so easy to get, and if you take it, you must bear responsibility.

But this time the "compensation" was different. Chen Li took the shares, but the responsibility that he should have passively assumed did not make Chen Li lose the initiative.

Who doesn’t like shares? Of course Chen Li also likes them!

After all, the more shares you have, the greater your voice and interests will be. Especially based on the current valuation of Red Pony, the extra 10% of shares is worth as much as 2.5 million US dollars.

Logically speaking, Chen Li was cutting Ma Xiaoyun's flesh, because the 10% was actually divided from Ma Xiaoyun's hands.

Originally, after the financing, only 44% of Ma Xiaoyun's shares were left, but this time Chen Li took away another 10%, leaving only 34%.

This is actually very dangerous~ because this share ratio is likely to lose the initiative, but Ma Xiaoyun still happily agreed.

Because Ma Xiaoyun is not stupid. Although Chen Li has repeatedly made it clear that the team behind him will not belong to Red Pony Technology, in fact, with this tie ~ at some critical moments, Chen Li and the team behind him will definitely be

To take action.

Should we make bad friends with Chen Li and the team behind him, or should we pay a certain price and make good friends with them.

Ma Xiaoyun made a choice very quickly!

He also knows very well that without the support of Chen Li's "team" for the red pony, the prospect of the red pony will definitely be different!

In his view, these 10% shares were paying "protection fees", which was also regarded as a personal "punishment" for him at the time.

So he paid for the 10% of the shares "willingly."

Okay~ There must still be some physical pain, and it even had some bad effects on the personal relationship between him and Chen Li.

But this is business~ In fact, from the very beginning when he came up with the idea of being a security guard, he was prepared to pay a certain price, but he didn't expect that the price would be paid in the form of compensation.

In addition, although Ma Xiaoyun gave 10% of the shares, the voting rights of this part of the shares are still in his hands.

Not only that, at the beginning, Chen Li also handed over the voting rights of his own shares to Ma Xiaoyun to exercise on his behalf.

Moreover, although the capital behind Xu Xing obtained 20% of the shares, the corresponding voting rights were only half.

So in fact, Ma Xiaoyun still has no problem with his control over Red Pony Technology.

This is what Chen Li hopes to see. After all, Ali Baba of Ma Xiaoyun in his previous life was almost fooled by this thing.

First, he obtained a large amount of financing when his company had no ready-made products, and then he raised a large sum of money when it encountered difficulties. In the end, he almost lost the management rights of the company.

But things are different now - today's Red Pony has two mature products, and the company's capital reserves are also in a relatively healthy state.

If it were not for the capital behind Xuxing to help solve some problems, Red Pony Technology would not need any financing at all now.

However, even if it is financing, today's Red Pony has not yet launched a product, and its valuation has reached a very high level.

I have to say that this situation is much better than Ahri's previous life.

In short, this matter has been settled, and the domestic security software industry is about to usher in the biggest change!

Free~!

Originally, this kind of change would not appear until nearly ten years later, but now, although the red pony will only make the security guards free for the time being.

But it is completely foreseeable that once the red pony breaks into the security software industry, it will quickly bring chaos to the entire industry.

By then, competition in this industry will become extremely fierce, like a school of sardines being chased by sharks.

At that time, there will not be many outlets left for domestic security software companies.

Otherwise, it will be gradually eliminated by the market!

Why don't you work hard to improve yourself~ and then be defeated one by one by the red pony!

Yes ~ Chen Li believes this very much, after all the red pony has him ~ and he has a system!

That night, the relationship between Chen Li and Ma Xiaoyun changed somewhat.

Of course, this change is still very small, so small that it will have no impact at all until there is enough benefit.

So when the dinner party ended that night, the atmosphere was still quite harmonious. Ma Xiaoyun even used his Mercedes-Benz to drive Chen Li and Liu Qingqing back to the University of Foreign Studies.

"Let's go back to the rental house!"

Chen Li looked at the flashing taillights of Ma Xiaoyun's Mercedes-Benz, curled his lips slightly, then took out his cell phone and looked at the time, and held his girlfriend's hand.

"Oh~!"

Liu Qingqing's face turned red and she did not refuse.

The relationship between the two no longer requires excessive hypocrisy, and Liu Qingqing also believes in Chen Li's character.

In fact, Liu Qingqing had long been prepared that Chen Li's character would not stand the test. It's just that both of them were waiting for an opportunity!

And this time is obviously not today.

Back at the rental house, Chen Li cut some sausage and ham and made a plate of fried rice.

He didn't eat enough at tonight's dinner!

Liu Qingqing, on the other hand~ Although tonight's dishes were a bit unpalatable, Miss Liu is not a particularly picky person, so she ate quite well.

The main reason is that she doesn't quite understand the serious things her boyfriend is talking about. Although she is studying hard, this requires a certain process.

Liu Qingqing went to wash up, but while Chen Li was eating fried rice, Song Xiaolan came over with a USB flash drive.

"Boss~ This is the recent operation status of the website. Take a look."

The website Song Xiaolan was talking about refers to hao123, which Chen Li had people tinker with as early as last year.

This website, which seemed strange to Song Xiaolan, has long been inferior to what it was when it was first launched after nearly nine months of development.

Today, hao123 has thousands of linked URLs, and the number of daily visits has reached a terrifying level.

Of course~ Song Xiaolan's understanding of terror is based on her understanding of hao123.

Because in Song Xiaolan, hao123 is really an extremely small website home.

Not only is it small~ but this website home has no technology at all, and it doesn't even have any competitiveness.

In other words, as long as others want to, they can create a URL home exactly like hao123 at any time.

At first, Song Xiaolan was not very optimistic about hao123, because she felt that her boss created such a website just to make it easier for her to access the Internet.

However, Chen Li still had to hire her to take care of the website home, which made Song Xiaolan suspect that Chen Li was actually pitying or sympathizing with her.

Song Xiaolan's family background is not very good, and the reason why she got to know Chen Li was because of her mother.

Last year, she was hospitalized due to a car accident. The perpetrator escaped, so she almost spent all her family's savings.

At that time, Song Xiaolan was still living in the hospital, and her mother came to Yanjing. Due to financial reasons, Aunt Song went to apply for a job at the Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant, and for this reason she met the boss Chen Li.

Fortunately, the boss Chen Li is a good person.

At that time, Chen Li not only borrowed money to help Song Xiaolan pay her tuition, but even gave Song Xiaolan a part-time job in addition to a job.

This part-time job started out as helping out at a fried chicken restaurant, but then after Chen Li founded the website hao123, Song Xiaolan started managing the website again.

From beginning to end, Song Xiaolan does these things with a "gratitude" mentality.

She knew very well how lucky she was to meet such a good person or boss like Chen Li in this world.

So even though she felt a little disdainful of the website navigation made by Chen Li, Song Xiaolan still worked conscientiously to help Chen Li manage hao123.

But with the development of the domestic Internet, hao123's situation is getting better and better.

Especially this year, with the boom of the Internet cafe industry, the website navigation hao123 has become the starting point for many new netizens to surf the Internet.

If you don’t know where to listen to music, go to hao123.

If I don’t know where to read the news, I go to hao123.

If I don’t know where to look for information, go to hao123.

If you can’t remember the specific website address, you can still go to hao12.

Today's Internet users, even if they don't remember the URLs of portals such as Jiulang, Sohu, and Wangnan, they remember hao123.

Because they only need to remember one hao123 to solve all their problems of surfing the Internet.

There is no doubt that Song Xiaolan played a role in the development of hao123, but at the same time, Song Xiaolan also knew very well that what she did was really not that complicated.

Although it is very complicated, it is really not complicated and can even be said to be quite simple.

She only needs to collect some relatively good and excellent websites, and then put the corresponding links on hao123.

In the final analysis, it was the foresight of the boss Chen Li that made hao123 what it is today.

Especially Chen Li's attitude towards hao123 made Song Xiaolan feel how precise Chen Li's vision was.

God knows how many people have contacted Song Xiaolan in the past few months.

There is only one purpose for these people to contact Song Xiaolan, and that is to give their website a more prominent position on hao123.

As a website navigation, hao123 can host many website links, but the page of hao123 is so large. If you want your website to be known to more people, a conspicuous position is very important.

In 1999, when the promotion of this website relied more on human-to-human transmission, the importance of hao123 can be said to be self-evident.

Especially as hao123's influence grows, more and more people have their thoughts on hao123.

From the initial asking price of RMB 500 a month, now well-known companies have contacted Song Xiaolan, planning to "guarante" the most conspicuous position in hao123 with an offer of RMB 300,000 a year.

To be honest, if hao123 belonged to Song Xiaolan, she would have been eager to agree to his request.

After all, it is a good thing that a website can make money, not to mention that it is no longer called profit, it is simply making money.

But ~ when Song Xiaolan happily went to report to her boss, she was directly rejected by her boss. The reason was that the content of the website was very average and did not meet the needs of hao123.

Song Xiaolan was speechless at that time, because according to her boss's theory, the most prominent links on the website should be reserved for the best quality websites.

But in fact, those high-quality websites don’t need hao123 to promote them at all.

Hmm~ That’s what Song Xiaolan thought at first, until someone from the south of the internet came over!

Although it is a newly established portal website, Wangnan has become the third largest portal website in China.

However, Wangnan obviously does not want to stop at this third place, so Wangnan needs to promote its own website in all aspects.

It just so happened that Chen Li had just met Ding Sanshi a few days ago, and had a chat with Ding Sanshi about website traffic, and then there was the matter of the staff from Netnam coming to visit.

Ding Sanshi and the staff of Wangnan didn't know that hao123 was Chen Li's property, and Chen Li didn't tell them that he had hao123 that could help him promote it.

Okay~ Actually, Chen Li completely forgot about it at that time.

Chen Li had never thought about commercializing hao123 before, because he needed hao123 to maintain sufficient credibility, at least for the time being.

It is precisely because of this credibility that hao123 has maintained a very rapid growth rate despite the emergence of competitors in the market.

So when others came to Song Xiaolan for promotion, Chen Li asked Song Xiaolan to refuse.

As a result, Chen Li didn't expect that someone from the Internet came over and asked for 300,000 a year. This made Chen Li suddenly realize a problem.

After hao123 has been operating for free for nearly nine months, it seems that it has begun to "mature".

It is said that in the previous life, hao123 had already achieved a monthly income of hundreds of thousands before it was acquired by Qiandu.

The reason why the boss of hao123 agreed to sell it at that time was because he was limited by his own limitations, which caused the development of hao123 to encounter a bottleneck.

Chen Li naturally does not have such limitations, so the upper limit of hao123's development is naturally much higher than in his previous life.

Chen Li had never paid much attention to hao123 before, but now hao123 gave him a surprise.

"How is the recruitment going?"

Chen Li was holding fried rice and flipping through hao123's recent operations on the computer. He asked while eating and reading.

"Teacher Su has already helped recruit two people. After they get familiar with it, there should be no problem."

Song Xiaolan suppressed the excitement in her heart and nodded.

"Hmm~!"

"Okay~ Let's set up the studio then."

"You be the one in charge!"

"The benefits will be as we discussed before. As long as you work hard, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

Chen Li took a bite of fried rice and said vaguely.

"Okay, boss!"
