Rebirth Starts From 2006

The Xiaochuan in Lao Zhang’s mouth is Wang Xiaochuan, the person in charge of the Sougou business department.

I used to work at ChinaREN, but later came here because the company was acquired by Souhu. Then two years ago, because of the development of Sougou, I was promoted to the vice president of Souhu. He is also the youngest vice president in the company. He is only 29 years old this year that's all

After that, Sogou was split off, and he became the CEO of Sogou, and single-handedly made Sogou bigger and listed.

Compared with him, Chen Yang felt that he lived on a dog in his previous life.

He hadn't come here so quickly, and the three of them couldn't just be idle, so they continued talking about the topic just now,

Lao Zhang took a sip from his teacup and smiled at the two of them, "The valuation of 30 million US dollars is indeed not low, but how much do you plan to invest?"

Qin Yu glanced at Chen Yang, then turned to Lao Zhang and said, "Ten million dollars, 33% of the shares."

Lao Zhang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "If you just invest money, eight million dollars, I will give you 20% of the shares, and the shares will be separated, so you will not have the right to operate."

"Ah,"

Chen Yang looked at him and laughed, "Mr. Zhang, you have increased the valuation by ten million."

Management rights were not within the scope of his pursuit, but Lao Zhang's stick was indeed a bit ruthless.

Lao Zhang was not embarrassed either, he laughed and said, "To be honest, Brother Chen, Swishhu is not short of money now, even if it does not engage in financing, the Swishgou project can continue slowly.

It's just that at our level, we all like to do resource integration. Only by working together to make the project bigger can we make the project bigger. However, this resource integration is also particular.

Frankly speaking, if Brother Chen is also engaged in the Internet, you can bring certain industry resources to Sougou, such as traffic or something, 10 million, let alone 33%, even 40% is not bad negotiable,

But if you only invest money, then the value of the money will be discounted! "

In business talk business, Lao Zhang's words, there is nothing wrong with it,

He is not an old Liu who does not understand the Internet. Qin Yu brought someone over and said that he would invest 10 million and take half of the shares. Old Liu accepted it half-heartedly.

And Lao Zhang is a veteran who has been in the Internet industry for ten years. He has fallen to the bottom of the valley and climbed to the top of the mountain. Not only is he not short of money, he also has a bit of arrogance.

In 1999, Xiao Ma, his fan, wanted to sell his Kou Kou to Swoo Hu. Lao Zhang was too busy with other business, so he sent a random person there, and everyone knew what happened next.

As an Internet person, he pays too much attention to marketing and ignores technology. This is his biggest flaw, and it is also the root cause of his later episodes.

But it was precisely because of this that he looked at Chen Yang with a lot of marketing creativity.

If it wasn't for the relationship of endorsement and cooperation, and he himself is not particularly optimistic about the Sougou project, maybe he wouldn't even have the 20% investment opportunity.

After all, there are not one or two projects that Lao Zhang started but failed.

Chen Yang pursed his lips, leaned on the sofa and thought for a while, then looked at Lao Zhang and said with a smile, "But Mr. Zhang, what if I can bring resources to Sougou?"

Um?

Old Zhang was taken aback for a moment,

He glanced at him in surprise, "Mr. Chen also has other Internet projects?"

Chen Yang shook his head lightly, leaned forward, put one hand on his knee, looked at him and smiled, "The resource I'm talking about is not the Internet."

He has now invested in two Internet projects, one for Twitter and one for Jingdong, which can actually be used by Zougou, but it was agreed at the beginning that he would not interfere with the operation, so he simply did not mention this.

And even if he mentions it, Jingdong may still be possible, Twitter will definitely not ignore him, but with Jingdong's current size, it's better not to say it.

When Lao Zhang heard it, he couldn't understand it even more, "It's not the Internet, what is it?"

Chen Yang took out the mobile phone endorsed by Lao Zhang from his pocket, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "The mobile phone comes with the Zougou input method, how about this resource?!"

Functional phones also need input methods, otherwise how do those built-in input methods come from? As long as Zougou can develop a dedicated input method for mobile phones, and then replace the original input method in the mobile phone system, the pre-installed machine can be achieved. Purpose.

Lao Zhang fixed his eyes on the phone for a few seconds, then raised his head to look at him, "How much is the shipment?"

Chen Yang made a gesture, "In the first year, 30 million units, and it will only increase in the future!"

After doing so much work, if you can't even accomplish this small goal, you should close this company as soon as possible.

Lao Zhang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, nodded slowly, looked at Chen Yang and said, "Okay, 10 million US dollars, 33% of the shares!"

"Do not,"

This time it was Chen Yang's turn to shake his head. He put his hand on the phone and said with a smile, "Including this, it's 40%!"

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha,"

When Lao Zhang heard this, he couldn't help laughing, covered his stomach with one hand, and pointed at Chen Yang with the other, "Oh my brother, you are so funny, I just made a joke, so you take it seriously."

Chen Yang's smiling expression remained unchanged, he looked at him and said, "You are the godfather of the Internet, you speak your mind, no matter what you say is casual or serious, I will take it seriously!"

Seeing Chen Yang's serious face, Lao Zhang's face gradually calmed down, and his squinted eyes narrowed unconsciously,

If you think about it carefully, if Sogou can really be installed on mobile phones, the annual shipments of tens of millions will be of great benefit to Sogou’s brand promotion. This temptation is not too low.

And there is another advantage of the mobile phone, that is, it is irreplaceable, as long as you buy it, you don't have to worry about the customer, this is a real real user,

Besides, there is still 10 million US dollars in cash. If you add it up, 40% of the shares are not unacceptable.

Then he raised his head and was about to agree when he heard Chen Yang say,

"Mr. Zhang, I have a proposal. Listen to it and see if it suits you."

Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, and raised his right hand to signal, "Please speak."

Chen Yang said with a smile, "10 million US dollars, plus the exclusive promotion resources of Damai Mobile, will be exchanged for 35% of the shares of Soogou Company, and the other 5%, Mr. Zhang, you can add a little more as a gift How about Mr. Wang's option reward pool?!"

Looking at Chen Yang with a serious face, Lao Zhang thought for a while, and then slapped his thigh, "Okay, I will make a suggestion to the board of directors, take out 7% of the shares, set up an executive option pool, and then sell the Sougou project operate independently."

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and a boy with a short stature and a baby face in Zouhu work clothes came in. It was Wang Xiaochuan.

Lao Zhang beckoned, "Xiao Chuan, come and sit down."

Then he pointed to Chen Yang and Qin Yu and said with a smile, "These two are Mr. Chen and Mr. Qin. They came here today mainly for the Sougou project. I just talked to them and plan to split the Sougou project. Or continue to be in charge of you, what do you think?"

Wang Xiaochuan stared blankly at Lao Zhang, then at Chen Yang and Qin Yu who were all smiling, smacking their lips strangely,

As soon as I came in, you told me to split it up, and asked me what I thought?

Oh, of course I dream about it!

For a person with a technical background and a focus on technology like him, I really feel a little uncomfortable with Lao Zhang's marketing-first philosophy. Items like dead on the sand,

Besides, here he is just a project leader of Zouhu, but if he can go out independently, he will be the leader of the company, and he can do many things freely, and he will no longer have to be subject to Lao Zhang for everything. Limitations, of course, are a good thing.

At this time, Lao Zhang said, "If you agree, you can sign a gambling agreement with the company. As long as you can meet the performance requirements, the company can give you a certain amount of equity, and you won't let you do it for nothing."

When Wang Xiaochuan heard this, his lips moved a few times, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop grinning to both sides, "I'll listen to Mr. Zhang's orders, and I promise to complete the Zougou project well!"
