Reborn IT Giant

Before Li Yanhong came to the United States, his knowledge of Zheng Yan was basically limited to 4510 Technology Company. However, since coming to the United States, especially after he started working, he discovered that 4510 Technology Company is just the tip of the iceberg.

"I would rather no one pay attention to me. I have always believed that making a fortune silently is the way to go. You will know later that the feeling of being chased by the media is not very good. Forget it, don't talk about me, just talk about it

Why are you in New York?"

Because Zheng Yan knew that Li Yanhong's future was extraordinary, that's why he said this, but to Li Yanhong's ears, he thought Zheng Yan was just talking casually.

"Me? I came to New York last year and am currently working as a technical consultant for a subsidiary of Dow Jones. The Wall Street Journal, a subsidiary of Dow Jones, is preparing to launch an online version of a real-time financial information system, and I am one of the designers."

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional but the listener is intentional. Zheng Yan knew that Baidu's basic "hyperlink analysis" technology was later developed during this process.

"Oh? Although Dow Jones is a good company and your current position is suitable, Dow Jones is not a professional computer company after all. Haven't you ever thought about finding a professional computer company? Or starting your own business?"

Hearing Zheng Yan's words, Li Yanhong was somewhat moved. He once served as a senior consultant at IDD. Later, the company was acquired by Dow Jones. The boss of IDD benefited from this millions of dollars. This incident was not very stimulating to Li Yanhong.

Small.

But thinking about it again, he still has a lot to learn now, and he doesn't have a clear entrepreneurial direction. Although Zheng Yan wants to support himself, the conditions are still not very mature.

"Forget it, I plan to practice for a few more years. However, if one day I plan to start a business, I will definitely find you as a big sponsor."

What Zheng Yan wanted was this sentence. He didn't think about trying to grow the seedlings and said with a smile: "Then we have agreed that if you plan to start a business, you must find me for financing. I can guarantee that the conditions will be the same as those of venture capital companies."

Twice. No matter what conditions other companies offer, I can give you double the funds."

Zheng Yan

As soon as the words came out, Li Yanhong couldn't understand. He didn't clearly state that he had the idea of ​​​​starting a business. Why did Zheng Yan offer such generous conditions in the first place?

"Okay, since you have no idea of ​​​​starting a business for the time being, let's not talk about it. Didn't you just say that you were ready to get married? What about your girlfriend? Does she also work at Dow Jones?"

Zheng Yan was naturally aware of Li Yanhong's doubts, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he simply changed the topic.

"That's not true. She is still studying for a PhD in the Department of Biology at the University of New Jersey. We met at a gathering of international students in New York. Although we have only known each other for a short time, I have already decided that I will not marry her unless I am in this life."

Speaking of his girlfriend, Li Yanhong's face was full of happiness, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two was indeed very good.

When he heard that Li Yanhong's girlfriend was studying for a PhD in biology at the University of New Jersey, Zheng Yan suddenly had the urge to recruit her to Sugon Pharmaceuticals, but quickly gave up the idea.

Although Zheng Yan doesn't know much about Mrs. Li Yanhong, he does know that Li Yanhong's wife is also a shareholder of Baidu and works at Baidu. I am afraid that the small temple of Shuguang Pharmaceutical cannot accommodate this great god.

"By the way, Zheng Yan, you are now the most wanted to be interviewed by all financial media. Are you interested in doing an exclusive TV interview with Dow Jones? I have a friend who has admired you for a long time."

Although Li Yanhong has always had Zheng Yan's contact information, he would never contact Zheng Yan just because his friend wanted to interview Zheng Yan, but now that he had met him, he didn't mind mentioning it. In addition, Zheng Yan's attitude towards him was sincere

Somewhat strangely, he also wanted to see if Zheng Yan would agree to his request.

During the years when he was studying and working abroad, he paid special attention to financial news, especially news about Zheng Yan, because he almost never let go of that chance encounter at Beijing University, knowing that Zheng Yan did not like to appear in front of the media.

.

"Since you work for the Wall Street Journal, a subsidiary of Dow Jones, you should know that I don't like dealing with the media. If it weren't for the fact that Elite Technology really needed some outside attention some time ago, I wouldn't even have attended that press conference.

I won’t be attending, so I’ll forget it.”

If Li Yanhong was in charge of the interview, Zheng Yan wouldn't mind selling him a favor, but his friend, Zheng Yan, had no interest.

Zheng Yan originally thought that Li Yanhong would just talk casually and give up as long as he refused, but that was not the case at all.

"Zheng Yan, I know your concerns, especially about some personal issues. You may be afraid of being dug out by the media. But since you are engaged in the Internet industry, you should know that with the development of the Internet, it may be difficult to keep secrets in the future.

exists."

"No matter what the problem is, it is better to break out early than to break out late. Today's media power is limited, and the scope of dissemination is also limited. However, as long as there are reports in this area, the media will lose interest."

"The more you want to hide it, the more the media wants to dig it out. Instead of being so passive, it's better to show it openly. You should understand this truth."

"In addition, the interviews I arrange for you are mostly about financial matters, such as your personal issues. I can guarantee you that no one will mention it. After all, this is the Wall Street Journal, not some random little gossip.

media."

No one should know more about what Li Yanhong said than Zheng Yan, but Zheng Yan did not expect that Li Yanhong could also see these things now. With the development of the Internet, unless it is information that some governments want to hide, there is indeed no information

secret.

"Okay, it's rare for you to make a request, and I have to give it face. But I have agreed beforehand that if some sensitive topics are mentioned, don't blame me for being picky. Others may be afraid of offending the Wall Street Journal, but I don't take it seriously.

."

Zheng Yan naturally knew what Li Yanhong was talking about, but his thoughts were different from Li Yanhong's. Zheng Yan had never thought about actively exposing his privacy. However, Zheng Yan could reveal some financial news that everyone was interested in to divert everyone's attention.

sight.

"In that case, we have agreed that I will arrange the interview when I get back."

By this time, Li Yanhong had determined that Zheng Yan did treat him differently, but he still didn't know why.
