Chapter 594 Vision and Cooperation

“Dianping.com?”

After the initial pleasantries, and halfway through the meal, Chen Li finally figured out the purpose of Ms. Wu's visit to him. The other party turned out to be heading for Dianping.com.

Ms. Wu seems to be very optimistic about the future of Dianping.com and plans to acquire it. If the acquisition fails, it is also possible to invest in the company.

To be honest, this surprised Chen Li, because in 2000, not many people could see the potential of Dianping.com.

And although Dianping.com is very popular now, it is actually the local communication forum that is very popular.

Yes~ When most people talk about Dianping.com, the first thing they think of is the local forum. Chen Li previously asked Song Xiaolan to lead his staff to optimize the communication function of the forum and refine it to the prefectural level.

This is actually the reason why netizens from all over the world like to stay on Dianping.com to brag and chat. They only need to use the Internet to understand some information about their hometown even if they are in a foreign land.

In particular, Chen Li shamelessly organized a selection of the top ten popular sectors, which almost made the phenomenon of check-in in the rice circle appear in advance, which has not yet appeared.

After all, no matter where you are, you probably don’t want your hometown to fall behind others.

So, a group of netizens kept posting on the forum where their hometowns were located, filling the rooftops with water, etc. Anyway, it was quite lively.

And Dianping.com will soon launch a new event called the "Dianping.com Goddess Contest."

Hmm. Okay~ This thing is actually a plagiarism of the famous Tiger Goddess Contest in the future.

Chen Li moved this thing to the Internet more than ten years in advance. He believes that the popularity of Dianping.com will definitely be indispensable in the next period of time.

It would be fine if Ms. Wu is interested in the social nature of Dianping.com, after all, many outsiders think so.

But the problem is that when Ms. Wu was talking to Chen Li about Dianping.com, she pointed directly at the core of Dianping.com, admitting frankly that the "Dianping" of Dianping.com is the core of this website.

This made Chen Li a little surprised!

After all, as someone who has been there, Chen Li knows very well that the popularity of exchanges in this kind of forum in the same city will not last long.

When social software becomes ubiquitous, this kind of forum-style communication will gradually be eliminated by users. Although there are still some forums that are developing well, they are still only a minority.

Unless Chen Li gives up the idea of ​​Dianping.com and plans to build Dianping.com into a large-scale social forum, but even then, at most it will only continue this forum social model for a while.

Twenty years later, almost no one will care about this kind of forum!

In fact~ even those forums that originally had good development momentum ended up in a dismal end.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Chen Li to abandon Dianping.com to engage in forum social networking.

If we do it now, it’s because this thing is now popular, and Dianping.com can use this to attract a large number of users and traffic.

Dianping.com The core of Dianping.com is naturally the word "Dianping"!

It's a pity that in 2000, everyone felt that this thing was useless. It's not that this function is useless. After all, this thing can definitely provide users with certain conveniences.

It’s just that, how to make money is the core model of Internet companies.

If you can't make money, no matter how well the website develops, it means nothing.

Therefore, instead of focusing on the so-called review function, it is better to focus on the increasing number of social users on Dianping.com.

Hmm. This is what many people, including some employees at Dianping.com, think.

However, Chen Li is the boss. With his approval, although Dianping.com currently focuses on forum social networking, the research and development of the comment function has not been shelved, and has even been strengthened.

Precisely because others were not optimistic about her, Chen Li felt a little surprised by Ms. Wu's vision.

Sure enough, there is no shortage of smart people in this world. Chen Li's previous impression of Ms. Wu was actually not good, not only because of the misunderstanding at the auction, but also because of the contempt she had inadvertently shown before.

As for now, Chen Li still doesn't have a good impression of Ms. Wu, but he has to admit her vision.

But if you think about it carefully, this seems quite normal.

The reason is also very simple. This Ms. Wu is not an ordinary person.

It is said that Ms. Wu's ancestors also moved from the mainland to Hong Kong City during the war years. Her grandfather worked hard in Hong Kong City and built a huge family fortune.

But the problem is that when the Wu family reached Ms. Wu's father's generation, it unexpectedly fell into ruin.

Later, Ms. Wu, who was only in her early twenties at the time, stepped forward and saved the building from collapse!

From being on the verge of bankruptcy to now firmly establishing a foothold in the jewelry industry, it can be said that the Wu family is solely supported by Ms. Wu.

In order to save the Wu family, she even married a consumptive man in exchange for support from her husband's family.

Later, the Wu family survived the crisis, and Ms. Wu's husband passed away, but Ms. Wu unexpectedly did not break up with her husband's family.

It is said that Ms. Wu still has a good relationship with her husband's family. Of course, as for Ms. Wu's personal life, that is another matter.

In short, Ms. Wu did not remarry, and she almost supported two families by herself.

Uh~ Of course, whether it is Ms. Wu’s Wu family or her husband’s family, they are naturally incomparable to those big families in Hong Kong City.

There is no way~ Hong Kong City is full of wealthy people, and a property can easily cost tens of millions. Therefore, some rich people with hundreds of millions of dollars cannot be ranked in Hong Kong City at all.

Even in terms of assets alone, today's Chen Li can surpass Ms. Wu by eight blocks. After all, Chen Liguang has recently made billions in the capital market.

But again, people in Hong Kong these days still have a sense of superiority to mainlanders. This is also the reason why Ms. Wu despised Chen Li before.

But it is undeniable that this Ms. Wu is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

If nothing else, it is not an easy thing for the other party to gain a foothold in a port city where rich people gather.

Therefore, this Ms. Wu’s vision is so accurate that she can see the core of Dianping.com. It seems that it is not so difficult to understand.

"Sorry ~ Ms. Wu, the development of Dianping.com has just started."

"So. I can cope with it for the time being."

Of course, he was surprised. Even after Chen Li learned about Ms. Wu from Xu Xing, he even admired her, but this could not change Chen Li's mind anyway.

And Dianping.com doesn’t need financing at all, at least for the time being.

To put it bluntly, Chen Li's current property, even if it is financing, will not go for the other party's money.

At the very least, in the first few rounds of financing, you won’t go after the other party’s money.

What Chen Li needs are resources and connections that can help the company's development. As for Ms. Wu, Chen Li doesn't seem to see how the other party can help him.

Yes~ Ms. Wu can be considered a wealthy person even in Hong Kong City.

With Ms. Wu's net worth, she would definitely be considered a big shot in the Mainland. After all, there are not that many people in the Mainland who can match Ms. Wu's net worth these days.

But in Hong Kong City, a place where there are so many rich people, rich people like Ms. Wu are really nothing.

To put it more bluntly, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Ms. Wu to come up with the resources and connections that Chen Li needs. As for the money, I’m sorry, but it is estimated that the funds that Ms. Wu can come up with may not be as much as what is in Chen Li’s account.

A fraction.

So~ Chen Li didn't think much and directly rejected the other party.

"Mr. Chen, please don't be impatient!"

Although she was rejected, Ms. Wu was not annoyed at all. After all, she had experienced such occasions too many times.

Even though Chen Li rejected her outright, she still looked confident.

Moreover, although this girl is nearly forty years old, she is very well-maintained, and although she has been in a high position for a long time, she actually has a hint of coquettishness in her eyebrows. This kind of contrast is really eye-catching.

"Of course I know that with Mr. Chen's strength, he doesn't need financing."

"And I am very envious of Mr. Chen's record on Nasdaq during this period!"

"Actually, I asked Ms. Xu to help me this time because I wanted to get acquainted with Mr. Chen again."

"And I think we actually have the possibility of cooperation."

As Ms. Wu spoke, she took out a document from her bag and placed it on the dining table, and gestured:

"Mr. Chen can take a look at this document first, and then I will discuss it in detail with Mr. Chen."

"Uh~Okay!"

Chen Li was actually a little disapproving. After all, he didn't believe that Ms. Wu could offer any bargaining chip to tempt him.

The reason is also very simple. After he earned a large amount of money from Nasdaq, there were not many people who could offer him chips in 2000.

However, when Chen Li picked up this document, he was stunned for a moment and then gave Ms. Wu a meaningful look.

But Ms. Wu deliberately avoided Chen Li's gaze and poured herself tea.

Then Chen Li continued to look at the document in his hand. Judging from his expression, he seemed a little unhappy at first, but when he was halfway through, Chen Li glanced at Ms. Wu again.

And this look was filled with a hint of surprise.

When Chen Li read the document, there was already a hint of expectation in his eyes.

It was obvious that the document Ms. Wu presented really moved Chen Li.

Although what Ms. Wu took out was just a document, it was actually divided into three parts.

The first part is an investigation report on ideal food and ideal agricultural products under Chen Li's name.

Judging from the level of detail in this report, Ms. Wu is indeed very attentive in this regard.

Of course, there is another possibility that Xu Xing told Ms. Wu, but there are some things in this that Xu Xing cannot possibly know.

Chen Li can guarantee that some of the information in this investigation report definitely comes from internal employees of these two companies.

As for who it is, it's hard to guess or even investigate, unless Ms. Wu is willing to tell him.

This is why Chen Li expressed dissatisfaction with Ms. Wu when he saw this part.

The second part of the document contains information about a food company from Hong Kong City.

This company is the property of Ms. Wu’s natal family, and it is currently the most important source of income for the other family’s survival.

In fact, when he saw this, Chen Li had some suspicions in his heart, so he seemed a little surprised at the time.

I originally thought that the other party invited me today to invest in the Internet, but now it seems that he is just a drunkard and has no intention of drinking.

To put it bluntly, the Internet may be just a cover for the other party, and this document is their real purpose.

This guess was confirmed in the third part, which was Ms. Wu’s proposal for cooperation between Ideal Agricultural Products and the company in Hong Kong City.

At this point, Chen Li had already seen it. He knew very well that the other party's real goal was actually ideal agricultural products.

As for the ideal food on the document, it can only be regarded as an add-on at best.

To put it bluntly, what Ms. Wu is interested in are ideal agricultural products that have just been introduced to the market and high-end ingredients that have not yet been introduced to the market.

Ms. Wu wrote a plan directly based on the ingredients of the ideal agricultural products.

There is a clear division of labor in the content. Production and breeding are handed over to Ideal Agricultural Products, while sales are handed over to the food company managed by Ms. Wu’s brother-in-law.

In the second part, Chen Li learned that Ms. Wu had been the person in charge of this food company for five years. After the food company had completely established itself, she handed the company over to her husband's brother.

According to data, this food company not only occupies a large market share in Hong Kong City, but also cooperates with many places in Europe and Japan.

In other words, Ms. Wu drew a pie for Chen Li, a pie that could promote ideal agricultural products.

But now, it depends on whether Chen Li accepts it or not.

"Mr. Chen, me"

Ms. Wu saw that Chen Li had already read the information, so she planned to explain and introduce it in detail.

But just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Chen Li.

"So, your intention to acquire and invest in Dianping.com is just a pretense?"

At first, Chen Li felt that Ms. Wu was very discerning, and he could tell at a glance that the focus of Dianping.com was on reviews.

But now, he suddenly felt that the other party might have hit him half-heartedly.

"No~ I am indeed very optimistic about Dianping.com."

"If you agree, Mr. Chen, I am willing to invest 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Dianping.com."

"Of course. This matter has nothing to do with cooperation on this document!"

"so."

Ms. Wu shook her head and gave her own explanation, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted again by Chen Li.

To be honest, such a statement seems a bit impolite, but it was Ms. Wu who was rude in the first place.

Chen Li couldn't tell that Ms. Wu actually came here for ideal agricultural products. As for Investment Review Network.

"hehe!"
