Reinventing the Millennium

The so-called, small gambling pleasure.

Sequoia's Zheng Lang didn't take the joking bet in the car too seriously, and regarded it more as a way of communication. Well, it can be seen that Fang Zhuo is a relatively determined entrepreneur and doesn't like other people's interference.

As for Fang Zhuo, he didn't even take the bet seriously. What was there to think about if he was bound to win?

The Mercedes-Benz parked slowly in Ganghui Plaza, a commercial center that was opened in 1999 and where the Sequoia Office is located.

Fang Zhuo got out of the car, looked at the Hong Kong exchange rate, which would not be outdated even in more than ten years, and asked with a sigh: "Mr. Zheng, how much does an office here cost per square meter?"

"Mr. Fang wants to buy? This place is only for rent, not for sale." Zheng Lang said with a smile, "However, some floors of Plaza 66 that are expected to open this year will be for sale. I can help you ask."

Ganghui is in Xujiahui, and Hang Lung is in Jing'an District.

Fang Zhuo thought for a while and asked, "How is the development in Lujiazui?"

"The Oriental Pearl Tower is very beautiful. It is developing very fast there. It must be the city center of the future, but it still takes time." Zheng Lang replied.

Fang Zhuo tried to stick to his heart: "Mr. Zheng, is there an industrial park here in Shanghai? I'm going to buy a small piece of land and set up a small company to OEM registration machines."

"Registration machine?" Zheng Lang could roughly guess the purpose just from the name, and frowned slightly, "Is it necessary? You don't want to put the profit model here, right?"

"Of course not, let's go up and talk." Fang Zhuo said as if he was the master.

Zheng Lang suddenly realized, smiled and led Fang Zhuo upstairs.

Sequoia Capital's office here is not very big. In fact, there are not many employees here. There are only about ten people, who basically belong to Zheng Lang's team.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was still some time before dinner, and the two of them sat in a separate office.

"Our registration network is to deal with the needs of patients to save money and time costs. The machine is just a hospital problem that we often encounter in actual operations." Fang Zhuo explained, "The machine is intended to be OEM, and the profit or not will not be counted. When we went to the registration website, the most important thing was that Lin'an Bank had a loan quota. After some discussion, we decided that it would be a good idea to use the machine to strengthen the brand image."

Zheng Lang didn't understand technology. After thinking for a while, he felt that there was no problem. He nodded and said, "I'll ask my colleague to ask you, industrial park, right?"

A few seconds later, he added: "Since OEM means no actual site is needed for assembly, why go to the industrial park? Just put a brand for the company in the business district."

"Hmm..." Fang Zhuo thought for a while and felt that he probably wanted to make the hospital feel more professional, but it seemed that it was really unnecessary. "Mr. Zheng, then help me ask if there is a suitable one at Plaza 66. "

Zheng Lang nodded, picked up the landline and called an employee outside, gave a few instructions, and then asked Fang Zhuo to write down the employee's number, very resolutely.

Finally, after the employees left, he suggested: "It's OEM anyway. If you say you want to expand into the Shencheng market within this year, just rent the office to Guahao.com in the name of the new company."

Fang Zhuo smiled and decided to ask this is what he planned after asking Plaza 66.

He reached for the tea cup and took a few sips of tea to hide some excitement in his heart.

After talking about buying a house for so long, and persuading others to buy a house for so long, I finally want to buy a real estate. Even if the registration network fails, this commercial real estate independently held by a third party will have an increasingly higher value.

The loan from Lin'an Bank is interest-free for three years. Hang Lung holds it for three years. If there is no money to repay it at maturity, it can be directly mortgaged to a second bank. The value at that time is naturally different from what it is now.

As time goes by, you can even sell it and buy Lujiazui, which will develop better in the future.

Finally, I can get a glimpse of the real estate economy.

Fang Zhuo was happy, and the expression on his face changed.

Zheng Lang didn't take this as a big deal. Seeing Fang Zhuo's expression, he thought he was happy to see him.

"The Internet bubble in the past two years abroad has had a great impact. Fortunately, things are going well in our country. After the last Internet Development Forum meeting, many friends in the circle asked me about Guanhao.com."

Fang Zhuo was surprised: "Really? There is no contact from my side."

"Because Sequoia has already invested." Zheng Lang was a little proud, "We have invested here, and the time before the first round of financing is also the time for others to observe, so I advise you to verify and pay early. This is not harmful to you."

Fang Zhuo insisted: "Horse racing and encircling land is what the registration website should do most at the moment."

The young CEO didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even leave any room for discussion. Zheng Lang felt in his heart that this may not be his own intention, but maybe it was the dominance of "politics" after the political-business relationship.

"Okay, it's good to capture more of the market." Zheng Lang relaxed and said with a smile, "Come to Shanghai as soon as possible. All the developments here will be amplified. In fact, I think Luzhou is not suitable for the Internet economy."

Fang Zhuo agrees with this, but knowing does not mean being able to do it. People can only start with what they can do.

"Fortunately, there are no competitors here yet, so we won't be late." Fang Zhuo said, "Everyone's attention is still more on portals and search. What we do is a vertical field."

“It’s okay to be number one in any field, but search is really good.” Zheng Lang talked about domestic companies, “Baidu, which was established last year, is developing rapidly. I think it is expected to become the Google of China.”

"Hey, Mr. Fang, do you know Google?"

Of course Fang Zhuo knew, and said with a smile: "Yes, the search engine established two years ago has a strong demand in our country. If Google doesn't come in earlier, Baidu will definitely develop."

"Are you so optimistic about Baidu? No one attended their last meeting, right?" Zheng Lang chatted.

"Not here. I still think so. There is value in solving needs. What Baidu solves is the demand for search. The faster the Internet develops, the higher the demand for search, and the faster Baidu will develop to solve this problem." Fang Zhuo didn't Forget to convey your own ideas, or in other words, strengthen the values ​​​​of Guanhao.com.

Zheng Lang said as expected: "This applies to the registration network. People's demand for convenient medical treatment is also relatively strong. Medical treatment is an expensive matter."

"Well." Fang Zhuo didn't want to talk about the verification and payment process. It would make people uneasy if he always acted against his conscience. He said, "I heard there is news from the ministry that second-generation ID cards will be implemented in the future. Registration will be more convenient by then. "

Zheng Lang's attention was attracted: "Second generation ID card?"

"The one with a built-in chip is more secure. You can directly use the machine to read personal information." Fang Zhuo estimated that the news would not be too far away, and he was more open-minded. "So, our registration machine can also be considered a small use in the future. , it’s more convenient to do it at home.”

Zheng Lang suddenly realized that this was a good thing.

Fang Zhuo did not hesitate to release more good news in front of venture capital, and continued: "Didn't we talk about Penguin and China Unicom joining forces to do mobile business? I think we should also focus on the development of mobile terminals in the future."

"Mobile terminal? It's too far." Zheng Lang thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Those who don't plan for eternity can only plan for a short time. This is something you can imagine." Fang Zhuo smiled, "If the registration network can continue to grow."

"Yes, Guahao.com has a very good payment entrance compared to other Internet companies." Zheng Lang was quite optimistic. "We won't verify it this year. Next year we can try to see how Guahao.com's model is. If it goes well If so, I think we can think about going to Hong Kong to ring the bell in the next three years."

Fang Zhuo smiled politely and said, "Just don't hit me with a hammer in the elevator for three years."
