Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: June 9, 2003}

{Location: United States-California}

Halfway through the reception, Huang Renxun took advantage of Li Kaifu to hide aside and rest, and walked over with a wine glass in hand.

Seeing Huang Renxun walking over, Li Kaifu smiled at him and said, "What's wrong? We've been chatting for a while. Do you have anything else you want to talk to me about?"

Huang Renxun sat down calmly, but when he leaned back on the chair, his eyes kept staring at Ning Zimo, who was chatting with the flower grower named Ma Yun.

Seeing that Huang Renxun's attention was focused on Ning Zimo, Li Kaifu asked directly, "Are you curious about what that young man just talked to me in private?"

Huang Renxun didn't turn his eyes, still looking at Ning Zimo's back, and said quietly, "The young man Jerry introduced to us is very interesting. Is he trying to get this young man to join us?"

Renhui?”

"That's not true. After all, this young man has not yet arrived." Li Kaifu shook his head and said immediately, "But if he develops steadily for three to five years, he may not be able to become the youngest member of our Bairen Association.

oh."

"Hey~~ It's a good thing to be young and motivated, but I'm worried that this young man thinks too much." Huang Renxun looked away from Ning Zimo, shook his head slightly at Li Kaifu and said, "You know what? That young man just now

He said, "I hope that if I have the chance to make chips in the future, I can learn more from me."

"Haha~~Look at what you said in an understatement. I'm afraid that young man didn't make some agreement with you?" Li Kaifu said with a smile.

"Promise? That's right," Huang Renxun raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, "I always feel that this young man is a restless character dancing on the edge of a knife."

"Of course I'm restless. Jerry said that Zimo poached Lu Qi from his company and they are building a search engine."

"Are they prepared to compete with Baidu in the country of flower cultivation?" Huang Renxun asked with a frown.

Li Kaifu shook his head, "Looking at this young man's style, I guess he will directly enter the international arena and compete with those big companies."

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Search engines are not in the blue ocean market like skrpe. Whether it's Fengyu, ask, or Jerry's Yahoo, they're not that easy to deal with."

As he spoke, Huang Renxun's brows tightened, "Why did Jerry let Lu Qi go to Zimo? Aren't they in direct competition?"

"After Duhu launched the b2c plan, how could they have so much energy to search? Now they don't even have the intention to acquire Overture. They only want to compete with Mariana, who has not yet achieved success, in the b2c mall." Li Kaifu

Smiling slightly.

Huang Renxun thought for a while and nodded calmly. After being quiet for a few seconds, he shook his head in the direction of Ning Zimo and continued to ask, "Then, that young man and you have been together for a few more years."

Appointment?"

"Ha~~ Look at you, you are still the same, you still can't hold it in." Li Kaifu smiled teasingly, and then said, "That young man is much more direct with me and you. He said that if next year

It's possible that he wants to invite me to establish a flower planting research and development center."

"this……"

He only said one word, but Huang Renxun couldn't continue.

He turned to look at Ning Zimo's back, feeling that he couldn't understand this young man whom he recognized very much.

"You may say that he is ambitious or ambitious. All in all, this young man is an ambitious person with a lot of ambitions."

Li Kaifu swung his glass and murmured, "Anyway, he said it himself. He just wants to set a higher goal for himself. If he really achieves it, it won't hurt to talk to him at that time."

When Huang Renxun heard Li Kaifu's words, the frown between his eyebrows gradually relaxed.

Finally, he smiled again and said, "In any case, this young man is not simple. At least chatting with him makes us feel a lot younger."

"Let's take a walk and see. Wouldn't it be a good thing to have more young people like this?"

Huang Renxun listened to Li Kaifu's words and watched Ning Zimo and Ma Yun talking happily from a distance.

He suddenly felt that this young man could chat well with these people when they met for the first time.

At least, he still has something.

Moreover, he is less than 20 years old.

his future,

Well worth the wait!

…

"Our Taobao domain name was actually bought from you?" Ma Yun looked at Ning Zimo dumbfounded, and after thinking for a long time, she finally said, "You are a person with 30 million US dollars, why do you still care about this?"

2 million?”

"No matter how few mosquito legs there are, they are still meat. By the way, why does Jerry always say to everyone that I got 30 million in income from Beibao? I still want to develop quietly and not be so high-profile." Ning Zimo frowned,

The trace of disgust at the corner of his mouth was beyond words.

It was natural for Ning Zimo to make such a "humane" action.

Ma Yun at that time was different from Ma Yun who was already standing on the top of the mountain in his previous life. Although he knew his direction, Ning Zimo knew that in addition to being determined, he was also hesitant about how far he could go in the future.

Ali, which was only founded in September 1999, had not completed four years until June 2003. Within one year from its founding, Ali had raised less than 25 million U.S. dollars, which was not even twice the amount that Ning Zimo sold.

Bao shares are more valuable.

Although Ma Yun has started his West Lake swordplay in September 2000 and has accumulated a certain reputation in the domestic Internet industry. However, it took Ali more than two years to reach 1 million users and three years to achieve positive cash inflow.

This did not give Ma Yun enough confidence.

At least, the momentum that Jack Ma Zi has accumulated in Ahri's current development, even in California, cannot exert pressure on Ning Zimo on top of the private reception organized by Yang Zhiyuan.

Therefore, after Ning Zimo had been in contact with him for a while, he was able to use some seemingly irrelevant words to close the distance.

Ma Yun also knew clearly that this was a joke made by a young man with whom he had not been in contact for a long time, and this was also the young man's way of showing his closeness to him.

But he smiled and mentioned Jerry Yang and explained, "Jerry's circle is full of measured people. All he can talk about are people close to him. This is also essential information when he recommends you, and these

Once the message reaches our ears, we will not spread it everywhere.”

Seeing Ning Zimo shrugging his shoulders, Ma Yun was amused by his Westernized movements.

After a pause, Ma Yun was curious again, "Why do others always put publicity first, but why do you dislike publicity so much?"

"The results are for ourselves and not for publicity. Because skrpe is pragmatic rather than unrealistic, we are not ready to publicize it at this stage. When we need capital in the next stage, we will advance it in advance.

To lay out this matter.

In fact, our skrpe spends 5 million in promotion fees every month, but the monthly net income has exceeded 8 million, plus the number of users is close to 60 million. If we really publicize these data, how can bandwidth have the heart to follow us to expand the voip market?

To grow bigger? Let’s wait for it to grow for a while.”

I heard from Yang Zhiyuan that skrpe had 50 million users in less than a year after its development. Although skrpe serves c-end customers and Ali serves b-end customers, Ma Yun was already surprised at that time.

But after the young man said three more specific data, Ma Yun felt that her feelings at this time could no longer be expressed in terms of surprise.

With a promotion fee of 5 million, the monthly net profit exceeds 8 million, which is close to 60 million users!

Coupled with this young man's low-key style, the authenticity of the data he said may not have much water.

This young man,

Still has some ability!
