Chapter 671 The Disorders of Life(2/2)
"What's the meaning?"
"Where are hundreds of people, just like Fang Xianer for a lifetime? Who doesn't have some ideals and pursuits?
If you sell a house, making money is the second priority, and it is true that you are satisfied with it.
But you never thought that selling a house would be just about your own pleasure. If the company is done well or even goes public,
Benefiting all employees, even ordinary people, that is the real achievement.”
Lin Erchun thought, "It seems to make some sense."
"So, don't study and bring customers all day long, you have to study how to list the company.
Let the people under my command also benefit. If we can further improve the service quality and reputation of the industry, then we will realize the value of life."
After being fooled by Lin Chaoyang, Lin Erchun's feeling of loss disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a motivation.
A few days later, Lin Erchun decided to go abroad for an inspection and learn some advanced management experience.
Zhang Guiqin thought she could take her with her when she went out for an inspection, but was left behind by Lin Erchun, saying that this time she went abroad was a business and could not take her family. The old lady could only sulk alone.
"He went there for inspections and had nothing to do. If you want to travel, I'll ask someone to arrange it for you. How about going to Bali?" Lin Chaoyang comforted his old mother.
"You are all busy people, I am the only one who is idle. What's so rare about having a country!"
Zhang Guiqin said it was not rare, but her attitude said it all.
Lin Chaoyang advised his father again, "If you want to go, take her there. You are the boss. You have the final say in this matter."
It’s so easy to talk about it, but Lin Erchun reluctantly brought Zhang Guiqin with him.
Before leaving, he warned: "This time I go out to do serious business, not to go out to play. Do you want to make less moths?"
Before she set out, Lin Erchun first took out the style of "the leader". In normal times, Zhang Guiqin must have thrown him a few sarcastic words, but today she didn't say anything, and there was a little expectation hidden in her expression.
This seems to be the first time in a marriage between parents and parents who have been together without their family members.
Lin Chaoyang suddenly realized why his mother insisted on going out with her father.
After seeing off the old couple, they came back from the airport. The two French sycamore trees in the yard stood tall and solemnly in the yard, like a pair of guardians, witnessing the change of seasons and the passage of time in this yard. Lin Chaoyang felt infinite emotion in his heart.
A week later, Lin Chaoyang received a call from Tao Xiwen, saying that he was inviting Lin Chaoyang to check out the new office building of Jixun Company.
Jixun was in Tao Xiwen's small studio in Yanda for two years, and this time he received 10 million yuan in investment. Tao Xiwen finally wanted to change the place and moved the company to the Kerry Center on the border of Guomao.
Since its completion last year, this building has become one of the landmarks of the Chaoyang CBD in Yanjing.
Before Jixun, only Tao Xiwen himself had 4 employees. After acquiring Tencent in Shenzhen, the staff expanded to 6.
people.
With the second round of financing and the company is about to open up new markets, we will definitely recruit more people this time.
The new office area has reached 500 square meters, which is very generous for the current IX news. Tao Xiwen obviously considered future development.
When I arrived at the 22nd floor of Kerry Center and visited the office that had just been arranged, Lin Chaoyang teased Tao Xiwen: "This time I've changed my guns and cannons!"
The company is booming, Tao Xiwen is full of energy, smiles and responds to Lin Chaoyang's words, chats for a few words, and then pulls him to experience the new version of QQ being tested.
While the two were talking, PonyMa, who had just arrived in Yanjing, was looking in their direction.
"That person seems to be Lin Chaoyang." PonyMa and Zhang Zhidong whispered.
Zhang Zhidong was obsessed with technology and was not good at talking. He listened to PonyMa's words and said in confusion: "What are he doing?"
"Maybe the family members are here to visit."
PonyMa said casually, her eyes made me look in that direction, obviously very interested in Lin Chaoyang's arrival.
He and Zhang Zhidong came to Yanjing from Shenzhen a week ago. After Tencent was acquired, their business was completely incorporated into QQ.
The result was as expected by both of them, and they were also ready to come to Yanjing.
Jixun just received 10 million yuan in financing, with a valuation of 60 million yuan. Joining Jixun now is an excellent way out for both of them.
Although they are not the boss themselves, Haosui is also the first few employees of the company. As long as Jixun can develop smoothly in the future, they are likely to achieve financial freedom like those emerging scientific and technological talents in Silicon Valley.
Besides, Tao Xiwen, the boss, knows technology, is friendly, and the company's atmosphere is also good, so although he has only been on the news for a week, PonyMa and Zhang Zhidong have already had a certain sense of belonging to the company.
Just then, Zhao Manting passed by after delivering her coffee, and PonyMa stopped her.
"Manting."
"What's up?"
"That's a writer Lin Chaoyang, right?"
PonyMa knew that Zhao Manting and Tao Xiwen were cousins, and she spoke very politely.
"Yes, he is Mr. Tao's uncle."
"Why did he come to the company? Come and visit?"
Zhao Manting said, "He is a shareholder, isn't it normal for him to come to the company?"
Upon hearing this, PonyMa showed an unexpected look on her face, "Shareholder?"
"Yes, he paid for the first financing from Jixun."
Zhao Manting didn’t know that × investment was also controlled by Lin Chaoyang.
In PonyMa's impression, Lin Chaoyang's identity as a "writer" is deeply rooted, which is also the impression of Lin Chaoyang by most Chinese people.
The writer and investor, these two identities seem to be incompatible. PonyMa digested it for a while before accepting this situation and gave a reasonable explanation in her heart.
Tao Xiwen started a business and his uncle is rich, so it is normal for him to sponsor him.
He couldn't help but think of the fact that when Tencent encountered financial difficulties some time ago, several founders were tying around to borrow money from their relatives and friends.
The money was borrowed, but when PonyMa asked his friends whether he could use Tencent stocks to repay the debt, the friends all politely expressed their rejection.
One even said generously: "If you really have no money, you can't pay it back, but I don't want your stock."
Hearing this, PonyMa was very grateful and angry.
Comparing his situation with Tao Xiwen, PonyMa once again felt the importance of family background.
Mr. Tao, who graduated from Stanford at the age of 22, returned to China to start a business, and had full support from his family. It was difficult not to succeed!
PonyMa felt the unevenness of life and subconsciously ignored the help given to him by his father who was a director in Yantian Port and his sister who worked in a telephone company.
But then he thought of another question: Jixun's success has the help of Tao Xiwen's family, so it is actually not as successful as outsiders seem.
He did 01CQ and had a smooth sailing in the first half of the year, but the situation was not optimistic after the second half of 1999.
The number of registered users of software hits a new high every day. Servers are expanding again and again. Money is spent like flowing, but there is no way to make a profit.
This is also the biggest reason why he finally decided to sell Tencent.
In PonyMa, although Jixun is developing better than Tencent now, it still has to face such a situation, and it may be a more serious situation, because Jixun's development speed is much faster than Tencent.
Under such circumstances, even if Tao Xiwen has the support of his family, how long can he last?
As he thought about it, his heart suddenly became frightened.
Will Jixun end up with Tencent in the end, right?
Just as PonyMa was thinking about it, he noticed Tao Xiwen was waving to him and ran over quickly.
"Big uncle, let me introduce it to you. Pony is now the product manager of our company. The changes you praised just now were all proposed by him."
PonyMa asked Lin Chaoyang politely. Seeing Lin Chaoyang responded, he looked at him with a smile, and he felt a little scared.
Is this the big man's eyes gaze like a torch?
"Is Xiaoma still used to it just now coming to Yanjing?"
"It's great. Mr. Tao takes good care of us. The atmosphere in the company is also very good. Everything is thriving. I feel very motivated!"
"Don't say these scenes, do you think the company has anything to improve?"
Listening to Lin Chaoyang's implicit criticism, PonyMa showed a look of shame, "You are criticizing."
After saying this, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have a problem that I can't figure it out."
"What's the problem?"
"I also built a software myself before, and it was developing well, but I still couldn't find a profit model. Jixun's scale is larger than my original company and has received tens of millions of financing.
But in fact, there is no essential difference from the situation I was facing at the beginning—
