rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 493 It’s not five million~ it’s half a million!

“This time we engage in e-commerce”

"Are you five going to do it together?"

After a seafood dinner, Chen Li entertained Brother Ma at his home after hearing about the future development of e-commerce.

Chen Li did not ask Xiao Ma how he planned to develop and develop. He went straight to the point and focused the topic on the core.

"If you still have financial problems this time, please remember to come to me."

"Leng Yurou~ Let me tell you, the last time you gave me a favor, this one must be returned to me."

Chen Li's tone was very serious, so serious that he even called out Brother Ma's nickname.

When OICQ was at its most difficult, Ma Xiaoteng tried to retain OICQ users by logging in to girls dressed in small sizes.

However, after the two met offline from the Internet, Ma Xiaoteng threatened to get Chen Li drunk several times at the wine table, trying to make Chen Li forget this scene.

But there are some things, as long as you do them, you can't really disappear from the world.

In fact, after Brother Ma became famous in his previous life, he would occasionally bring this matter up to make fun of himself.

But at that time, he had already become a big boss in the business circle, so he took the initiative to talk about such things, which naturally gave people a different feeling.

To put it bluntly, there is an old saying that goes like this:

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!

When Ma Xiaoteng became famous, this kind of thing was naturally considered an anecdote.

But if he fails, and the person who brought up the matter is Chen Li, the person involved.

So Ma Xiaoteng was embarrassed and even a little angry!

"Fuck~ How many times have you threatened me with this?"

"From the beginning, you threatened me with OICQ's serial number, and now you are threatening me with this thing to invest."

"Do you know that what you are doing is illegal?"

At first, Ma Xiaoteng was indeed a little angry because he was "exposed" by Chen Li, especially Liu Qingqing, who was sitting not far away and was watching TV.

But as he spoke, Ma Xiaoteng suddenly became happy.

Because he had already felt it. Ever since Chen Li threatened him with this matter again, the matter of him selling Tengxun in a hurry without notifying Chen Li had been exposed.

This time when Brother Ma came to Yanjing, apart from his original intention to learn from Ma Xiaoyun, his biggest purpose was actually to explain this matter to Chen Li.

Many people say that shopping malls are like battlefields, but there are comrades on the battlefield, but it is difficult to make real friends in the shopping malls.

Of course, this does not mean that the relationship between Xiao Ma and Chen Li has really developed to the stage of "real friends".

But ~ from now on, the relationship between the two is indeed good.

From the beginning of their friendship on the Internet, to later Chen Li and Ma Xiaoteng getting to know each other in real life, the two could be considered to have forged a friendship.

And the most important point is that for Ma Xiaoteng, although Chen Li is a few years younger than him, it is Chen Li who actually helps him more between the two.

Not only did Chen Li help him with Tengxun's operations, but when he came to Yanjing to seek investment, Chen Li also tried his best to help him.

In addition, the reason why Ma Xiaoteng was able to successfully sell Tengxun this time was actually thanks to Chen Li.

If Chen Li hadn't introduced him, then he would never have had the chance to meet Ma Xiaoyun.

If Chen Li hadn't happened to be optimistic about Tengxun, Ma Xiaoyun wouldn't have dared to offer a high price of three million after just listening briefly.

And without Ma Xiaoyun's offer, Ma Xiaoteng might have lost Tengxun.

Regardless of how much older he is than Chen Li, logically he should have more social experience than Chen Li, but in fact, during Ma Xiaoteng's friendship with Chen Li, Chen Li has always been taking care of him.

Therefore, both in public and private matters, Ma Xiaoteng felt that he should be grateful to Chen Li.

He had indeed handled this matter very unfairly before, so he always felt guilty.

Now that this matter has been revealed, Ma Xiaoteng feels that he has become more enlightened. He thought about it for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Li and shook his head.

"This time~ there are only four of us."

"Lao Zhang chose to stay in Tengxun and will not be with us this time."

There was a hint of unexplainable emotion in Brother Ma's words, but this is completely understandable.

After all, it was him and Lao Zhang who formed the skeleton of Tengxun in the earliest days, and the other Lao Xu ~ Lao Chen ~ Lao Zeng all joined later.

Lao Zhang himself is regarded as the person with the best computer technology among the Five Tencent Tigers, and he is also the technical cornerstone of Tencent and OICQ.

Chen Li in his previous life did not understand it, but Chen Li today is very clear.

Later people always said that Brother Ma was the helmsman of Tengxun, which was true, but in fact when Tengxun was struggling in the early days, the real core of Tengxun was actually Lao Zhang.

It can be said that without Lao Zhang, there would never have been the Tengxun Group with a market value of trillions in the previous life.

Because without this man known as "the man behind Xiao Ma", it is estimated that Tengxun would not have been able to hold on to the moment of dawn.

When Tengxun encountered difficulties in the early days, it was Lao Zhang who relied on his excellent skills to continuously attract outside orders.

Yes~ In the early stages of Tengxun’s development, Tengxun experienced financial pressure due to the excessive growth rate of OICQ.

But just when Tencent was already in trouble, the number of its OICQ users was still growing, which meant that Tencent needed to continue to increase the number of servers.

Servers can be added, which means more funds are needed.

This seems to be an endless loop!

To be honest~ At that time, several other partners, including Xiao Ma, thought about giving up, even Lao Zhang thought about it.

However, rather than giving up, Lao Zhang is more unwilling to let OICQ, which he and his team worked so hard to create, die.

Yes~ That’s right, OICQ is indeed a copy of foreign ICQ, but in fact OICQ is not equal to ICQ.

Even though he borrowed a lot from it, in Lao Zhang's view, OICQ is still like the life he created.

So ~ while others were falling into a stage of self-destruction, Lao Zhang kept looking for opportunities to earn extra money outside, and then used the extra money earned to fill Tengxun's growing hole.

Later, maybe Xiao Ma and others figured it out, or maybe the other partners were inspired by Lao Zhang. Anyway, everyone joined in, and everyone made extra money together to fill the hole.

Hence the emergence of the Internet overlord with a market value of trillions in the past life and later.

There seems to be nothing wrong with Lao Zhang being called the father of QQ in his previous life.

So looking at it this way, Chen Li didn't find it strange at all that Lao Zhang had made such a choice.

And to be honest, in Chen Li's opinion, Lao Zhang's decision might actually be the wisest choice.

Because ~ although the prospects of e-commerce are very good, to be honest ~ if the person engaged in e-commerce is called Ma Xiaoyun or Liu Dong, then Chen Li will definitely feel that Lao Zhang's decision is not worth it.

But when this person was Brother Xiao Ma, Chen Li felt that no one would be better than the other in the future!

Of course, Chen Li does not doubt that Xiao Ma will achieve some results in e-commerce. After all, he got involved in e-commerce in 1999. As long as Xiao Ma can persist in the end.

He doesn't need to persist for long~ As long as he can persist through the coming Internet winter, Chen Li has reason to believe that the other party will definitely achieve very good results.

But when it comes to grades, you have to see who you compare with.

Compared with ordinary entrepreneurs~ and compared with those e-commerce giants in Chen Li's memory, the meanings of the two are different.

But Tencent, one of the five Tencent Tigers, was gone. Chen Li naturally decided to settle for the next best thing and try to invest in the e-commerce of the Four Tencent Tigers?

"So, I can replace Lao Zhang's share, right?"

When Chen Li heard what Xiao Ma said, besides lamenting that Lao Zhang and the others parted ways, he also naturally understood another meaning of Xiao Ma's words.

"I can't say I'm replacing it~!"

"It's just that we did make arrangements according to the plan of the five people at the beginning."

"Now that Lao Zhang has quit, we can actually start with four people."

"But if you want to come in, I'll definitely have no objection to it."

"But I still need to discuss this matter with other people."

"I guess the problem is not big. Although neither Lao Xu nor Lao Chen have met you, you have chatted online."

"As for Lao Zeng, he appreciates you very much and even admires you a little."

"I think if it were you, Old Zeng would probably agree with it with both hands."

The Lao Zeng that Brother Ma mentioned was the one who came to Yanjing with him last time to seek funds.

In terms of appearance alone, that person seems to be more like a corporate leader than Xiao Ma.

Some people are like this. Just from their appearance, they are very consistent with the performance of certain professions.

For example, as the saying goes, "If you have a big head and a thick neck, you are either a rich man or a poor man."

Although this sentence is definitely biased, in reality, some people with rich bodies are indeed more likely to be considered by others to have better economic conditions.

It's actually very simple~ Everyone thinks that if the economic conditions are not good, then people will definitely not be able to grow so rich.

In addition, in the early days, many wealthy people or business owners had the appearance of being potbellied.

The consequence of this is that, purely from appearance, Old Zeng looks more like a boss than Brother Ma.

It is said that in the early days of his previous life, when Brother Ma was not well-known, some customers who came into contact with Tengxun would often mistake Lao Zeng for the boss of Tengxun.

As for Xiao Ma, who looks gentle and a little thin, he is often mistaken for Lao Zeng's assistant or a staff member.

Even because he was mistakenly admitted too many times, Xiao Ma later changed the general manager to an engineer on his business card.

Later, every time Xiao Ma mentioned this matter, most of the others would find it very interesting, and then they would laugh out loud.

But if you really want to say that Brother Ma didn't mind at that time, then Chen Li actually didn't believe it.

Even in his previous life, Lao Zeng left Tengxun, and Chen Li probably had this reason.

Of course, this should be only one of the reasons, but if this factor does not exist, Chen Li himself does not believe it.

Moreover, after Lao Zeng left Tengxun in his previous life, he seemed to be negative for a long time.

It is said that during that time, this guy had been staying at home playing games, and it looked like he had been hit.

Fortunately, this guy later regrouped and not only became an angel investor, he even founded a listed company.

Of course, these things are Chen Li's guesses based on his limited understanding of Teng Xun in his previous life.

To be precise, these news are Chen Li's speculations based on some gossip on the Internet. They are only Chen Li's own daydream and cannot be taken as true.

Anyway, at least in 1999, there was no problem in the relationship between Xiao Ma Ge and Lao Zeng.

Even though today's Ma is often mistaken as Lao Zeng's "follower", the relationship between Ma and Lao Zeng is still a close partnership.

As for whether there will be changes in the future, who knows?

"Okay~!"

"Specifically, how much money are you planning to invest?"

Chen Li nodded. Since Lao Zhang has quit, there is nothing wrong with him filling in.

And he also believes that if he joins, Xiao Ma and Lao Zeng will not object.

And as long as these two people don't object, then Lao Xu and Lao Chen should have no objections.

Because these two people should be the major shareholders of the new company.

In the original Tengxun, Ma Xiaoteng’s own shares accounted for 47.5%, followed by Lao Zhang’s 20%.

Then there was Lao Zeng, the third person to join Tengxun. His shares reached 12.5%.

Further down are Lao Chen and Lao Xu, both of whom hold only 10% of the shares.

Of course ~ this is the previous share distribution of Tengxun, the new company. Naturally it will not be like this.

Moreover, Tengxun has just been sold, so the five Tengxun tigers should have a lot of spare money in their hands.

Although this amount of money is nothing compared to the trillions worth of Tengxun in the previous generation, it was still not a small amount in 1999.

At the very least, there will definitely be no problem in starting a new company.

You know, in his previous life, Ma Xiaoyun founded Ali in Lin'an in the first half of this year, and his founding capital was only 500,000 yuan.

And how much did Tengxun sell for? A total of 8 million!

So this new e-commerce company created by Ma Xiaoyun will definitely not be any worse than Ma Xiaoyun’s Ahri in his previous life.

"This number!"

Brother Ma stretched out his palm towards Chen Li, but Chen Li looked a little stunned.

"Fuck me, didn't your company only sell 8 million?"

"Although this money is after tax, you guys will share this money~ I guess there won't be much left, right?"

"Five million? You are so brave!"

In Chen Li's view, the wealthy Tengxun Four generals will definitely not be as picky as they were before when starting a new company.

Therefore, the palm that Brother Ma stretched out must not be half a million.

If it's not half a million, it's five million.

Except for Lao Zhang who stayed in Tengxun, this was almost all the other people received.

After all, Lao Zhang owns 20% of Tengxun's shares, so of the 8 million after tax, he has to take away 1.6 million.

This also means that Ma Xiaoteng, Xiao Ma and several others are planning to fight?

But just when Chen Li lamented how courageous Xiao Ma and others were, he saw Xiao Ma's face suddenly turned red, and then...

"No~ not five million. Yes."

"Half a million!"
