Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

What Xu Yiyang thinks now is to hurry up and recruit talents.

Before, I was short of money, and I couldn't do many things, or I couldn't do it with great fanfare, but now, I came to Hong Kong to borrow arrows from straw boats, and I will soon have a lot of money in my hands.

In this case, the most important thing is to find someone who can spend the money. Otherwise, with the money, you won’t be able to find someone who can manage so much money, and you can only use the money to manage your money.

Product talent like Zhang Xiaolong is worth more to him than just his current needs.

In the future, with the continuous development of the Internet, more and more in-depth and professional products will be needed.

At that time, finding someone else may not be able to control it.

But Zhang Xiaolong, definitely no problem.

Liu Mingchao immediately got in touch with Zhang Xiaolong, and twenty minutes later, Xu Yiyang's cell phone rang.

The call came from a landline in Guangzhou.

Xu Yiyang immediately connected the phone, and a man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Xu?"

"Yes, I am, are you?"

The other party hurriedly said: "Hello, my name is Zhang Xiaolong, I am Liu Mingchao's brother, and I am also the developer of Foxmail."

Xu Yiyang immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, hello! You have been famous for a long time!"

"You're being polite." Zhang Xiaolong said modestly, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, I heard from Mingchao that you want to buy Foxmail?"

"Yes." Xu Yiyang said: "If you sell Foxmail to me, I'm willing to pay 15 million yuan, and it's a one-off payment, but if you want to work in my company for five years, I'll give you an annual salary of 3 million yuan. "

Zhang Xiaolong was intimidated by Xu Yiyang's asking price.

When he received a call from Liu Mingchao just now, Liu Mingchao mentioned the price of 15 million yuan, but he didn't expect that the other party would even give him an annual salary of 3 million yuan!

The current Huaxia Internet company can get an annual salary of 3 million, I'm afraid I can count it on one hand, right?

Zhang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Xu, what do you need me to do? Or can you briefly introduce the development direction of your company?"

Xu Yiyang said lightly: "My company is to make the best products in the Internet field. No matter what field, as long as I do it, I must be the best!"

Zhang Xiaolong was quite surprised.

Most of the bosses he has contacted, when they talk about the direction and plan, they want to become the top in the country, go to the United States for financing, go public in the United States, lead their brothers to make a lot of money, and reach the pinnacle of life.

Speaking of which, the layout is very large.

However, few people are able to make the layout smaller and focus on the essence of the Internet, that is, products.

Products are the essence of the Internet world. Whether it is a website, a piece of software, a tool, a game, or a piece of technology, in the final analysis, they are all products in the Internet field. Only by doing them well can we make powerful products. company of.

Microsoft, if you do a good job of Windows, you will become the top in the world;

Cisco, if we do a good job in network transmission technology, we can become the industry leader;

Intel, if you design the chip to the extreme, you can change the world...

When such a company is in the entrepreneurial stage, it must be thinking about how to make a good product, rather than how much money it will make and where to go public.

Therefore, he felt that Xu Yiyang's words were very attractive to him, and he felt like-minded.

Moreover, the conditions given by the other party are really too generous, 30 million in five years, far exceeding my expectations...

Considering this, he asked Xu Yiyang: "Mr. Xu, if I sell Foxmail to you, how long will it take to complete the transaction?"

What he is worried about is that Xu Yiyang promised 15 million, but in the end he released the pigeons. He is still talking about other buyers. If Xu Yiyang rejects other buyers, if Xu Yiyang suddenly changes his mind, his time will be in vain. Tossed.

Xu Yiyang said: "I will return to Zhonghai on March 19th, then you can come to Zhonghai directly to find me,

When we meet, we sign the contract and pay directly. "

Zhang Xiaolong felt relieved.

The two companies I was talking about said that the results would only be given in April, which meant that I could promise Xu Yiyang first that if there were any changes on his side on March 19, the other two companies I was talking about would not be affected.

So he immediately said to Xu Yiyang: "Then I will book a ticket to Zhonghai on the 19th today!"

...

Successfully recruiting Zhang Xiaolong under his command gave Xu Yiyang great confidence.

He now finds that the strategic map for his next venture has become more and more clear.

Since we are in this era, it is natural for entrepreneurship to give priority to the Internet, supplemented by training and education and the clothing industry.

As for value-added services such as ring tones, they are completely kept there as a cash cow, and they will bring a lot of cash flow to themselves in the next few years.

In fact, the industries that Xu Yiyang chose were basically cash flow businesses.

Once the training, education and clothing industries become larger, the cash flow will be very abundant. These two sectors are businesses with high profit margins and stable income. As long as the scale is large, they will definitely become cash cows by then.

If it weren't for my ambition to turn Jiayang Education into New Oriental, its current profitability could already provide itself with a lot of cash flow support.

As for SuperX, once there are hundreds of stores across the country, it will be easy for a store to sell hundreds of pairs of pants a day, with a turnover of more than 100,000 yuan, and a yearly turnover of more than one billion or even billions.

Once these businesses are supported, by then, the cash in their hands will be inexhaustible.

In the next one or two years, the global Internet industry will be in a low period and a cold period. The stock prices of Netease and Sina will even drop to $1 on Nasdaq.

If you have a lot of cash in your hand, you can frantically buy the bottom of the Internet industry, and then wait a few years to make a bigger profit.

Next, whether everything can develop smoothly depends on Nvidia's stock.

...

In the afternoon, the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong held an exchange meeting on the theme of "Hong Kong".

Hu Bingwen asked Xu Yiyang to prepare in advance, but Xu Yiyang was busy with his own affairs and did not prepare anything.

At two o'clock, everyone went to the small auditorium to gather.

The exchange this time was a bit like a discussion, because there was no podium, but seven chairs were placed on the stage in the auditorium.

On the back of the auditorium stage, there is a background board with the words "Student Exchange Meeting between the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong and the China Overseas Institute of Foreign Languages." In addition, the school badges of the two schools are also hung.

The process of the exchange meeting was three student representatives from the Faculty of Arts, three student representatives from China Overseas, and an on-site host. Everyone discussed several issues related to Hong Kong on the stage and expressed their opinions.

There is no winner or loser set for the exchange meeting itself, everyone can just chat, but although there is no obvious winner or loser, everyone knows in their hearts that this kind of thing is actually very explosive.

Whoever speaks well, makes sense, and speaks convincingly to the audience will be the stronger side and can crush the other side at the same time.

Hu Bingwen didn't even know about the presence of the media. Seeing several media and even setting up the cameras, he began to feel like he was being tricked.

First of all, I didn't say that there will be media reporters present at this exchange;

Secondly, the topic of the exchange meeting is very general. In this way, it is difficult for the students on my side to make targeted preparations, but the host who is in charge of presenting the questions is a beautiful female student from the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong. This means that the host is in the same camp as the exchange representative of the other HKU. Maybe the exchange representative of HKU has already known what kind of topic the host will bring up, and has made careful preparations;

In this way, once the exchange meeting starts and once the smell of gunpowder is brought up, it is easy for the student representatives of China Overseas to be pressed by the opponent every step of the way, or even caught off guard.

This is like a debate meeting. The other party knows the specific topic to be debated, but I only know the most general category on my side. This is really too passive.

With the presence of the media, this matter also seemed a little ulterior motives.

If China Overseas makes a fool of itself on the spot, and media reporters film and record the whole process on the spot, then once the video report comes out, China Overseas will immediately appear vulnerable in front of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong, which will have a great impact on the image of the school .

If you lose face as soon as you take the first step to communicate, then China Overseas' image outside the mainland will be greatly damaged in the future.

And the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong will undoubtedly have more face. Look, the best language university in the Mainland and the best English majors are vulnerable to our students of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong.

In this way, it is to step down others and raise yourself up.

Don't underestimate the desire and pursuit of fame, victory and defeat in colleges and universities. Even among top universities, there are often quarrels over fame and victory or defeat.

If you don't believe me, just look at the two top universities in Haidian District of Yanjing, Yanda and Tsinghua University. The two schools are fighting each other day and night, and even the students often ridicule each other.

In the two top colleges of Harvard and Yale in the United States, students also dislike each other all day long.

The students at Harvard are the busiest. They not only want to confront Yale, but also take time to confront their neighbor MIT. It can be said that they are fighting on two fronts without showing any weakness.

Hu Bingwen hastily pulled Xu Yiyang aside, told Xu Yiyang his analysis and worries, and said: "We will rely on you when we are on stage! In case the two of them fall into a passive position, you must go all out. Use your personal speaking, eloquence, and strength to provoke this leader!"

Xu Yiyang asked him: "Who will be on stage with me?"

Hu Bingwen said: "Xu Yanan and Zhang Yibo."

Xu Yanan is the president of the student council, and Zhang Yibo seems to be another senior senior.

Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "They are all seniors?"

"That's right!" Hu Bingwen said, "Those who are not seniors may not be as capable as the opponent. The three of them are all seniors!"

After finishing speaking, Hu Bingwen said again: "This senior is not the same as us. These four senior students have been taught bilingually since elementary school, and the university is taught in English, and they have studied English for another four years. Their strength in all aspects is certain. You are stronger than our seniors, so the only key to victory lies with you."
