Chapter 600 I’m afraid you can’t afford that much money!

Facts have proved that no matter how outrageous the film and television dramas are, many of them are adapted from real life.

Just like Ms. Wu, when she had a boyfriend, her father kneeled down and asked her to marry the cancer patient in the Zheng family. This kind of story plot was rarely used in later movies and TV dramas.

Because in the early days, this kind of plot was almost exhausted!

Although Ms. Wu was forced to marry the patient from the Zheng family, he turned out to be quite nice to her.

To be honest~ When he heard this, Chen Li had almost written an entire eight o'clock soap opera script in his mind.

However, unlike those silly and sweet heroines who are bullied in movies and TV shows, Ms. Wu herself has abilities beyond ordinary people.

Although she was forced to agree to her family's unreasonable demands, she forcefully took control of her family's business.

After marrying into the Zheng family, due to the incompetence of the other heirs of the Zheng family, Ms. Wu quickly took control of the Zheng family's financial power as a daughter-in-law.

To be honest~ Chen Li can guess how difficult these things are even if he thinks with his toes.

But Ms. Wu just did it!

I have to say ~ Ms. Wu is definitely a talent. Whether it is business talent or palace fighting talent, she basically reaches a very high level.

However, perhaps it is precisely because she clicked on two talent trees that although her "level" is very high, she has not achieved the ultimate in any aspect.

Although Ms. Wu still controls most of the Wu family's properties today, the Wu family has actually transferred most of the family's properties over the years.

As for the Zheng family, during the Asian financial crisis, they felt that Ms. Wu could not continue to bring them more wealth. The reason why they still handed over the family's property to her was just because the family had no heirs.

Just people.

And even so, the Zheng family has no intention of completely handing over the property to Ms. Wu. Her brother-in-law is the competitor chosen by the Zheng family.

It's just that Ms. Wu's brother-in-law was obviously no match for her. As a result, not only did he fail to regain control of the family's business, he was almost instigated by Ms. Wu to rebel.

If Ms. Wu hadn't disliked the Zheng family, which had a lot of troublemakers, as a burden, she would never have handed over the management of the company to her brother-in-law.

In other words, Chen Li took advantage of the Zheng family's company. Although it surprised Ms. Wu, she was actually quite happy to see it.

"how about you?"

"I'm curious~What do you want to do?"

After listening to the stories and gossip, Chen Li poured Ms. Wu a cup of tea and then asked about her purpose.

Obviously ~ Ms. Wu flew all the way from Hong Kong City to Yanjing, and after meeting him, she told him such a story that could be made into a movie and TV series. Naturally, she couldn't be bored and wanted to find someone to talk to.

Especially now that Ideal Agricultural Products has become the major shareholder of that food company, Ms. Wu's existence is actually no longer necessary.

Of course, Chen Li would definitely not think so. In fact, he really wanted to take advantage of Ms. Wu.

Don't get me wrong, although this Ms. Wu is indeed very smooth, even a bit attractive, Chen Li has no idea about Ms. Wu on this point.

He is interested in the other party's ability. If Ms. Wu is willing to help promote the ideal agricultural products, the speed of promotion can at least be greatly accelerated.

This is the role of talent!

But Ms. Wu is not a young person who has just emerged from society. It is not certain whether Chen Li can recruit such a person, let alone completely surrender him.

In fact, Chen Li had no intention of surrendering at all. If he could sincerely cooperate with Ms. Wu, it would be a good choice.

But Chen Li knew very well that if he wanted the other party to work for him, he would naturally have to pay the other party a reward that would make him happy.

Chen Li was too lazy to go through all the twists and turns with Ms. Wu. For a veteran in the business world, Chen Li was definitely no match for him if he made all those twists and turns. It would be better to go straight to Huanglong and get things out of the way.

"Hehe~!"

"Mr. Chen is very happy!"

"What can I do? Now that I'm here, I naturally want to contribute to the development of Mr. Chen's career."

"Of course, while I am helping Mr. Chen, I also hope that Mr. Chen can give me a chance."

“An investment opportunity!”

Ms. Wu smiled again, this time her smile looked a little charming, but when she looked in Chen Li's eyes, he felt nervous.

But this time Chen Li did not speak. He was waiting for Ms. Wu's conditions.

"I want it as a person"

“Invest in ideal technology!”

After saying that, Ms. Wu picked up the cup of tea that Chen Li poured for her, but she did not drink it, but stared at Chen Li, as if waiting for his answer.

"Ha~!"

But what surprised Ms. Wu was that she didn't see any surprise or surprise on Chen Li's face.

But this is actually normal. In Chen Li's opinion, the purpose of Ms. Wu looking for him is not difficult to guess!

After all, he knew very well that the other party would definitely not be attracted by his "beauty", so there would only be benefits.

The industries in his hands now that Ms. Wu can appreciate are probably Ideal Agricultural Products ~ Ideal Food and Ideal Technology.

Ideal Agricultural Products already has a relationship with the Zheng family. Judging from the story that Ms. Wu told him before, Ms. Wu should not get involved again, otherwise she would not have allowed Ren Xiaobo to communicate with the Zheng family so smoothly before.

Then all that is left is ideal food and ideal technology!

In fact, at first, Chen Li thought that the other party's target was Ideal Food. After all, Ms. Wu had managed the Zheng family's food company before.

But Ms. Wu chose Ideal Technology, but Chen Li was not surprised.

In fact, Ms. Wu's request seemed very smart to Chen Li.

Ideal Food belongs to a traditional industry. Traditional industries are more familiar to people doing business. People with a discerning eye can easily tell whether a company is doing well or not.

Ideal Food is obviously a relatively high-quality enterprise. Although the profit margin may be a bit low, fortunately, the trickle is long. When the enterprise reaches a certain scale, investors will naturally make a lot of money.

Moreover, Ms. Wu has a certain understanding of this industry, so choosing Ideal Food is actually a good choice.

But Ms. Wu chose Ideal Technology, which proves that Ms. Wu’s ambition

Very big!

In 2000, even though it was affected by the Internet bubble crisis, China's Internet industry was still developing at a rapid pace.

This also means that the Internet industry at this time is full of business opportunities! But it is also full of dangers!

Some people will make a lot of money in this industry, but there will also be people who will lose everything in this industry.

Chen Li didn't know where Ms. Wu got the confidence to give up Ideal Food, which was apparently the most ideal investment target, and chose Ideal Technology, which was the most risky.

And being able to make such a choice proves that Ms. Wu wants more!

But there is a problem here!

"Invest in ideal technology?"

"Okay~ No problem!"

"If Ms. Wu can help me, then there is no problem in giving you this investment opportunity."

"But... I'm afraid you can't afford that much money!"

Chen Li smiled, and he smiled very happily. As for the reason, it was obvious that Ms. Wu might have done some research on Ideal Technology, so she was so optimistic about Ideal Technology.

But Chen Li can guarantee that Ms. Wu’s investigation of Ideal Technology should be relatively superficial.

If she really understands the true situation of Ideal Technology, she probably won’t make investing in Ideal Technology so easy, at least her voice shouldn’t be so loud.

Because today's Ideal Technology only has three subsidiaries, but these three subsidiaries are Panda QQ~hao123 and the newly emerged Dianping.com.

If Dianping.com’s valuation may not be too high because of its recent rise, then the other two are already relatively mature Internet companies in their own right.

Especially hao123!

In fact, if this conference had made a selection in 2000, hao123, which had a small investment, would definitely be at the top of the list.

At a time when most Internet companies have not found their future development and profit direction, hao123 can now bring Chen Li a net income of nearly 300,000 yuan every month.

Don’t underestimate this number. You must know that this was a website in 2000 with an annual revenue of more than 3 million. If you look at the country, you won’t be able to find another one.

Take the Mr. Chen from Magic City whom Chen Li once met. He has now opened a cartoon website, and his annual income is only around 4 to 50 million. That’s it. Mr. Chen from Magic City even had a smile on his face.

Rotten.

What is even more exaggerated is that in the current domestic Internet industry, it can be said that 99% of companies are losing money.

It is estimated that there are not many Internet companies that can turn losses into profits.

And the most terrible thing is, how much is the investment in the entire hao123?

God knows when Chen Li found someone to do this hao123, he actually only spent 500 yuan!

This price was not even worth the monthly salary that Chen Li paid to Song Xiaolan, who maintained hao123.

This investment can be basically said to be zero investment in the Internet industry.

But the returns from this zero investment are something that even those companies that have spent millions or even tens of millions have not achieved.

Last year, because Wangnan wanted to plan a listing trip, it had the idea of ​​hao123. At that time, the other party offered a sky-high eight-digit price, and even added some stocks later, but it was rejected by Chen Li.

.

At that time, both Xu Xing and hao123 webmaster Song Xiaolan were surprised. After all, hao123's monthly income at that time was only tens of thousands of yuan.

But now both of them understand Chen Li's original choice. Hao123 can earn back 10 million in just three years.

To put it bluntly, today's hao123 is just a chicken that lays golden eggs. Chen Li has no reason to sell the chicken at this time.

So what is the current valuation of hao123?

As a leader among investors, Xu Xing gave a very pertinent evaluation.

Five million dollars!

There is no way~ Although hao123 is the chicken that lays golden eggs, but in 2000, people were not very clear about the value of this type of website navigation.

Although many people have understood the importance of "draining traffic" at this time, the value increase for the chicken that lays golden eggs is very limited.

To put it simply, in their eyes, the chicken itself is not very valuable, but the eggs it lays are valuable.

There is actually nothing wrong with this. After all, hao123 is just a website navigation, but it is the No. 1 website navigation category.

This thing has no core technology to speak of, and to put it bluntly, it may not be accidentally replaced by another website someday.

So five million US dollars~is the valuation given by Sister Xu Xingxu.

Chen Li actually recognized this valuation, at least in 2000.

But at the same time, he is also very clear that as the domestic Internet industry market expands, the value of hao123 will also increase.

When the value of hao123 increases to a certain level, Chen Li will sell it.

Yes~ Chen Li never intended to keep hao123 in his hands and develop it. After all, as a reborn person, he knew very well that website navigation would only become popular in the past few years.

After the rise of Qiandu, these website navigations will basically have no chance.

However, Chen Li now has some doubts about whether Qiandu can still rise.

Because today's domestic Internet industry has been greatly reshuffled compared to previous generations.

Now that Qiandu wants to rise, in addition to those website navigation competitors, there is also Red Pony Technology.

Yes~ With the rise of Hongma Technology in the Internet industry, the fate of 3721, which was originally created by Zhou Hongyi, has also changed.

In the previous life, this software was criticized by users because of its bundled installation, and was even called rogue software.

But at that time, Zhou Hongyi had no choice!

But now that 3721 has escaped the possibility of becoming rogue software, it has unexpectedly developed very well.

So sometimes Chen Li is even a little worried. If Qiandu cannot develop, who will he sell his hao123 to?

Hmm~hao123’s valuation is actually not high, and because of its development route, Chen Li basically didn’t spend much money on it.

But an important part of Ideal Technology, namely Panda QQ, is a heavyweight player.

Let’s not talk about the valuation issue! Let’s not talk about how much money Chen Li spent to acquire Panda QQ, nor the development speed of Panda QQ after it was acquired.

After Chen Li acquired Panda QQ alone, he poured $25 million into it.

That’s 25 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 200 million when converted into Chinese currency!

In addition, after Panda QQ was acquired by Chen Li, it changed the previous development model of operators eager to make money. Today, Panda QQ has become the well-deserved overlord of domestic social software.

And this also means that the valuation of Panda QQ has increased significantly.

As for the specific value, Xu Xing, who has been chasing Chen Ideal to invest in Panda QQ, gave a value.

Forty-eight million dollars!

The reason why it was US$48 million instead of US$50 million was because Xu Xing said at that time that if Chen Li agreed to her investment in Panda QQ, the valuation would be US$50 million.

But Chen Li did not agree, so the valuation she gave was US$48 million.

But even so, as time goes by, with the rapid development of Panda QQ, the valuation of Panda QQ will increase every day.

In addition to hao123 and Panda QQ, there is also Dianping.com, which although it has just emerged, Chen Li has invested a lot of money.

Although the entire ideal technology seems to be just that, its actual value is definitely far beyond what others estimate.

It was precisely for this reason that Chen Licai smiled strangely after Ms. Wu said she wanted to invest in Ideal Technology.

He knew very well that the Wu family and the Zheng family had suffered heavy losses in the U.S. capital market and could not get much money out of it.

But if you get less, the tiny bit of shares you get will actually mean little.

So Chen Li felt that the voice Ms. Wu spoke just now was somewhat loud!
