Reinventing the Millennium

Several online registration companies have emerged in China recently. Not only did this not eclipse the registration network that received the first round of financing, but it also made it appear that this track has great potential.

Therefore, Fang Zhuo has no shortage of meals. Wang Fengyi, the deputy general manager of Shenxin who made the first round of investment, is also willing to get closer to this young president in the Internet industry. His non-professional investment background requires the perspective of a professional. Make judgments.

Just at noon on the second day after Fang Zhuo and Penguin Ma talked, Fang Zhuo and Wang Fengyi naturally got together for a dinner.

"Mr. Fang, let me ask you something. What do you think of East China.com?"

The dinner was not Wang Fengyi's. He came to the scene and after being polite for a while, he chatted with Fang Zhuo. For this person, in addition to his professionalism, he was also a little confused about his relationship with Team Leader Zheng.

However, it is okay to get along well with each other and be friends.

"East China Net? A regional portal, right?" Fang Zhuo asked strangely, "Why did Brother Wang think of asking me this?"

"Someone is coming to our door, but we have not been established for a long time, so we have to be more cautious in our business." Wang Fengyi took a sip of wine and talked about the public news.

Shenxin Science and Technology is controlled by Guoxin and invested by local governments. Originally, they wanted to set up a branch of Guoxin in Shanghai. However, due to local connections, it became a new company in the form of a holding. However, this needs the support of achievements or political achievements. of.

"Is it because of the relationship?" Fang Zhuo asked more straightforwardly, and gave a simple conclusion without waiting for an answer, "The prospects are not good, and it may not be able to survive in the short term."

The “short-term” in this sentence means that there may not be a situation where the performance of the previous term will be taken over by the next term.

"Are the current portals so bad?" Wang Fengyi sighed with emotion. He didn't even ask for the reason and said casually, "I have seen HC.com and Alibaba attacking each other in the past two days, and there is also a 'North Huicong, South Alibaba' Speaking of which, do you think your registration network and the medical network in the south will be divided into the north and the south?"

Fang Zhuo laughed twice and toasted with a glass of wine: "If Shen Xin invests another 100 million in me, I guarantee that we will be the only one in the country to register."

Wang Fengyi laughed: "Ten million is not a lot. Besides, Sequoia also gives ten million."

Fang Zhuo avoided the topic and said with a smile: "Bei and Nan, I am definitely optimistic about Ali."

"Because Ali is also in Lin'an?" Wang Fengyi asked.

"No, because Alibaba's Ma Dan is very powerful." Fang Zhuo circled back, "Isn't it often said about investing? The last thing you invest in is investing in people. No matter how good the project is, it has to be done by people. Brother Wang has time to meet Once you get to Ma'an, you will know that he is indeed something special."

Wang Fengyi was a little curious and said nothing, just nodded.

Fang Zhuo clinked his glasses and began to slowly reveal the dagger in the glass: "Speaking of people, the boss of another company in the industry is Penguin Company, which makes communication software. His Ma Huateng is also very powerful. He is the same as Ma Chen. Two styles.”

Wang Fengyi nodded slightly: "I have used QQ, but I heard that this company is not very good."

Fang Zhuo chuckled and said nothing.

Wang Fengyi felt a little dissatisfied with this smile: "There are rumors in the circle that two companies that hold shares in it are trying to sell it."

Look, not only do I think this is not possible, other people think so too.

Fang Zhuo asked back: "I know about this. It started last year. Did you hear that it was sold?"

Wang Fengyi's heart moved and he waited patiently for the next sentence.

"Are these shares unsellable or are they just for sale?" Fang Zhuo took a sip of wine to himself, as if he was a little drunk and scolded Fang Qiu, "Brother Wang, if you don't believe it, aren't you all in the same circle? The other party can just quote you a price and try it out, it won’t be much, just double the original price and see if it sells.”

Even though the table was full of people drinking and drinking, the deputy general manager couldn't get into his heart. The judgment he had always thought was the consensus of the industry seemed to suddenly become blurred.

Fang Zhuo continued to connect the line and said with a smile: "Brother Wang won't say anything? Don't you believe it? Let's make a bet, just two bottles of Maotai. You can have someone make a call later."

Wang Fengyi shook his head slightly: "Are you so confident?"

"Investing in this thing is difficult to say and easy to say. I have confidence in my penguin good friend." Fang Zhuo poured the wine and did not try to continue to provoke. He just clinked glasses.

"It's a small gamble, haha, I want to see who can win these two bottles of Moutai." Wang Fengyi seemed to be aroused by his gambling nature and laughed.

boom.

The two of them clinked glasses.

Drinking wine is now the high-end investment operation in China.

That afternoon, Wang Fengyi, who drank well, returned to the company just tipsy. The first thing he did after sitting in the office was to implement the content of the bet and asked his subordinates to tentatively give IDG twice the price.

It was 1.1 million US dollars at the beginning, and now it is 2.2 million US dollars. This doubled profit is not bad at all.

Soon, the subordinate responded on the internal phone and the other party rejected the offer.

Wang Fengyi was slightly surprised, not because the two bottles of Moutai were owned so quickly, but because the other party refused quickly, and the price seemed not to be as high as expected at all.

He thought for a moment and asked his subordinates to continue to quote the price of US$3.3 million while asking people to sort out the information about Penguin.

I thought the other party would consider it this time, but within half an hour, the offer was still rejected.

Wang Fengyi couldn't sit still now. Is he really waiting for a price? Or, is there already another buyer for the shares?

IDG must have the intention to sell. Because this news involves Hong Kong Little Superman, it is relatively well-known in the circle, but what is the current situation?

The tentative offer was discontinued, and Penguin's information and recent developments were put on the table.

Wang Fengyi browsed the data and saw the news about its recent cooperation with China Unicom. He was a little unsure for a while.

After getting off work in the evening, Wang Fengyi took a sip of tea, coughed, and called Fang Zhuo on the registration network in a drunken voice.

"Mr. Fang, I'll go sit in your office at noon tomorrow."

"What? The investors are here to inspect the work." Fang Zhuo said with a smile on the phone.

"My friend gave me two bottles of 10-year-old Moutai, which just won our bet," Wang Fengyi said.

Fang Zhuo on the phone seemed to be surprised: "Okay, Brother Wang, have you made this call? So fast."

"It seems that your brother has a special liking for Maotai. I'll give it a try and give you some wine as soon as possible." Wang Fengyi finalized the matter, "I'll see you at noon tomorrow, just in time to hear about the latest situation on the registration website. For lunch, keep it simple. , let’s just chat.”

Noon the next day.

Deputy General Manager Shen Xin arrived at the office for the first time since investing 10 million in the registration network, carrying two bottles of Maotai in his hand.

"Come, come, welcome Mr. Wang to come and guide the development of our registration network."

Fang Zhuo got the phone number and welcomed the company's investors at the door.

"Brother, why are you so polite?" Wang Fengyi put the Moutai into Fang Zhuo's hand, "I'm the loser. Don't drink it today. Just leave it in your office. I'll win it back next time."

Fang Zhuo laughed and took the deputy general manager to his office.

Take a seat and make tea.

Fang Zhuo has already placed information on the recent development of the registration network on his desk: "Brother Wang, look at our development, are we making too little progress?"

Wang Fengyi just glanced casually: "Brother Fang, if I wasn't worried, I wouldn't have voted in the first place. Today we are just chatting, don't be so formal."

"What do I, a junior on the Internet, have to talk about?" Fang Zhuo's behavior was obviously different from his behavior when he was drinking yesterday.

"Don't say that, I admire my brother's vision." Wang Fengyi gave a thumbs up, "Just take these two bottles of Moutai, people in our company originally thought IDG was going to sell off, but Brother Fang couldn't see the result at all. allow."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly: "It's a state-owned enterprise, it's normal."

Just as Wang Fengyi was about to nod, he suddenly felt that something didn't feel right.

He nodded his hand twice and said with a smile: "As for IDG, I really don't understand. How much do you think they want to sell for holding the Penguin shares? Yesterday, I didn't just double the price, but tripled it. "

"Five times the bottom line, six times the hope, seven times the ordinary." Fang Zhuo looked at the computer screen on his desk and the QQ chat with another client, and answered with a hint of certainty.

Wang Fengyi was really shocked and blurted out: "Robbing?!"
