Chapter 128 Doubts
When Du Qiu was despised by Jennifer, Ma Yun had a dinner with a group of netizens he had met in the small restaurant near Guangming Cinema. He studied in a normal school in college. After graduation, he worked as a teacher at Hangzhou Electronic Technology College for nearly 7 years. He was very eloquent and talkative, but today he was a little silent, he spoke very little and didn't drink much, and he seemed to be full of worries.
Ma Yun’s wife Zhang Ying also came to Yuncheng. After finishing her meal, she boarded the bus that picked up and dropped off netizens back to the hotel and asked, “Is she still thinking about what Du Qiu said yesterday?”
"Yes, the products released by Snapdragon in the morning have greatly reduced the technical threshold for web page production. It is estimated that in a short time, many companies that compete with our China Yellow Pages will appear." The bus was a little stuffy. Ma Yun didn't get a good rest last night and felt dizzy, so he rubbed his temples with his thumb and asked, "Do you feel like Du Qiu was talking casually yesterday, or do you really want to invest in us?"
"I think Du Qiu is a very rigorous person and will not joke casually." Zhang Ying handed him the iced Coke in his hand and said, "I have inquired. Du Qiu attaches great importance to personal **. Even Snapdragon employees don't know his mobile phone number. But yesterday afternoon, we told you and me, and we contacted him after we thought about it, so we must really want to invest."
Ma Yun nodded, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and sighed: "I also think I really want to invest, but the problem is that I don't know how much he wants to invest."
Zhang Ying was silent about it. She knew that her husband was very energetic. A few months ago, regardless of the persuasion of relatives and friends, he gave up his iron job of ensuring profitability and resigned from his job and went to run a full-time company, just to do his own business. Now he has just gotten on the right track and is about to make a profit, but he was hit by Snapdragon and faced a dilemma of dilemma. He was really unwilling to accept it.
Ma Yun has always been very business-conscious. He used his spare time to open a Haibo Translation Company a few years ago. He took on a business at the beginning of this year and accompanied government officials to Los Angeles, USA to implement a highway investment. Although he did not agree, he came into contact with the Internet from his friends. He opened his eyes. After returning to China in March, he resigned from school. In April, he borrowed 100,000 yuan and changed Haibo Translation Company to Haibo Computer Service Company. In May, he began to sell Chinese yellow pages, a 3,000-word homepage, plus a photo, and charges 20,000 yuan. Of which 12,000 yuan is required to be given to American production companies. He doesn't make much money, and it is controlled by others, so it is difficult to grow and grow.
Therefore, Ma Yun came to Yuncheng to attend the Internet Conference this time, his purpose was very simple and shabby. He wanted to recruit one or two talents who knew about web production to improve the company's efficiency and profits. However, what he saw and heard after Yuncheng made him shocked and worried, and he realized a huge sense of crisis.
The shock is because I can’t find anyone who can make web pages even if I dig three feet into Hangzhou. However, almost every employee of Snapdragon, and even the front desk lady knows how to make web pages, which shows that Snapdragon’s technical strength is far superior to that of peers and it is difficult to compete with it. I am worried that the Yuncheng hotline launched by Snapdragon is diverse in functions and rich in content, and is very popular with the government, enterprises and netizens. Once promoted, it will definitely replace the simple and simple static web pages like China Yellow Pages, and its own business will not last long.
So Ma Yun has been in a depressed mood these two days and feels that his future is very bleak. Not to mention recruiting talents, he even wants to close the company. It was not until yesterday afternoon that he met Du Qiu in a classroom at Sanjiang University. After chatting with him for a few minutes, he rekindled hope.
"The yellow pages printed in traditional ways can only introduce the contact information of the company, which is very sketchy, and the Internet can display the details of each product of the company in real time and detail. The private economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is developed, with thousands of small companies and thousands of small commodities. Building a website alone is definitely not cost-effective. You can change the focus of China Yellow Pages from introducing companies to introducing products, and make a comprehensive trading website for wholesalers and buyers across the country."
Ma Yun is a talented person. He immediately discovered that this is a great business opportunity. However, trading websites are much more complicated than static web pages. Both the funds and technology are far beyond Haibo's current capabilities. Du Qiu wants money and technology, and the strength of the two parties is too great. Once he accepts his investment, he will inevitably lose the company's dominance and become a worker who obeys the order. However, if he does not accept his investment, he will lose an excellent entrepreneurial opportunity in vain, so he is worried about gains and losses and is difficult to make a choice.
"Hey, Jiang Danfeng also took this bus? She came here, as if she was looking for you."
"Look for me?"
Ma Yun opened his eyes and saw Jiang Danfeng holding an Ericsson GSM straight-board mobile phone that is currently very fashionable and expensive. While smiling, he greeted netizens, he walked through the narrow aisle of the bus and came to him and said, "Teacher Ma, Teacher Zhang, Mr. Du asked me to ask, what are you thinking about when you talked about yesterday afternoon?"
During the exchange yesterday afternoon, Jiang Danfeng was also present. It may be because of concern and influence. He said a little vaguely. Ma Yun did not expect Du Qiu to come to force the palace so soon. He was very surprised. Fortunately, his decisiveness was very outstanding. He was hesitating just now, but at this moment he made a decision. After looking at his wife, he said, "It is our honor to be able to cooperate with Mr. Du."
"That's great." Jiang Danfeng nodded with a smile, and the news came to know: "At 2:30 pm, there was an Internet business exchange meeting in the conference room of Snapdragon Headquarters. If you have time, you can go and listen."
"Okay, we will definitely arrive on time."
According to the schedule of the Internet Conference, on the afternoon of August 20, there are no other arrangements except for several sporadic events such as the Algorithm Challenge Finals. Netizens who go to work can go home in advance to avoid delaying their work tomorrow. At this time, they suddenly notified that there was a business exchange meeting, which obviously had other secrets.
Because the press conference ended very late, it was already 1:40. After Ma Yun and his wife took the bus back to the hotel, they didn't have time to rest. They took a shower in a hurry, changed into more formal clothes, then took a taxi and headed straight to Snapdragon headquarters.
In 1995, Yuncheng GDP ranked above 90 in China, and is one of the shabby provincial capital cities. It has not even been repaired in the Second Ring Road. The city area is very small. The distance between Guangming Cinema, Mingzhu Hotel and Snapdragon Headquarters is very close, only a few minutes' drive away, so Ma Yun and his wife arrived just after 2:10.
It was Sunday. Because there were air conditioners, computers and Internet in the office, many Snapdragon employees chose to work overtime in the company. The atmosphere was looser than usual. Some people typing, some chatting, some playing games, and some watching movies. It seemed very lively. However, because the two of them came earlier, there was no one in the conference room, and only a dozen identity cards were placed on the table.
"Professor Qian Tianbai from the Beijing Institute of Computer Application Technology, Researcher Qian Hualin from the Computer Network Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Lin Jintong from the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Director Sun Shaobao from the Ministry of Electronics Industry, Chen Zhiguang from the Sanjiang Provincial Institute of Posts and Telecommunications, Li Lijun from Pengcheng Telecommunications New Technology Center, Liu Ping from Huawei's New Business Department, Zhang Shuxin from Yinghaiwei, Wan Pingguo from China Net, and Wang Peng from Xunye Jin Net..."
Zhang Ying looked at the ID card one by one and said in confusion: "Didn't you say business exchange meetings? Why are there so many government officials and technical experts?"
"These may be the signs that held the meeting yesterday?"
Just as the two were guessing, a guy wearing glasses, pale and thin skin, as if he hadn't seen the sun for many days walked into the conference room and greeted: "Teacher Ma, Teacher Zhang, are you here so early? Just help me see if the ID card is written incorrectly."
The next morning after Ma Yun and his wife came to Yuncheng, they visited the Snapdragon headquarters. At that time, the focus of the two was on the web design department and had communicated with many employees. So they knew this person and knew that his name was Yuan Tiangang. They were one of the first people Du Qiu met after "returning to China" from Japan. They were also the first university intern to join since Snapdragon founded. Now they are the deputy manager of the web design department. They were responsible for demonstrating web design software at the press conference in the morning.
"Manager Yuan, do we also have an identity card?"
"Yes, Mr. Du just called me to do it." Yuan Tiangang put a few ID cards in his hand on the conference table and sighed: "I have held meetings here dozens of times, and this is the first time I have my own ID cards."
Ma Yun looked at the identity card and saw that his and his wife's titles were general manager and deputy general manager of Haibo Computer Service Company. There was no problem, but Yuan Tiangang's title was no longer Snapdragon's position, but "General Manager of Net Construction Technology Company", so he asked: "This Net Construction is a newly established subsidiary of Snapdragon?"
"No, it was a new company that I founded with a few colleagues."
Ma Yun and his wife were surprised and asked in unison: "Have you resigned from Snapdragon?"
"Actually it's not considered resignation. Mr. Du asked me to go out to start a company." Yuan Tiangang had bloodshot eyes. It seemed that he didn't have a good rest last night, but his expression was very excited. Seeing that Ma Yun and his wife were surprised, he explained with a smile: "Mr. Du is different from other bosses. He is very generous. He specially set up an investment fund to support Snapdragon employees who have skills, ideas and courage to go out to start a business. I am the first teenage mouse to be a test product."
Ma Yun never thought that there was a boss like Du Qiu who didn’t have money, free technology, and random investment in funds. He didn’t know what to say. Zhang Ying picked up his ID card and looked at it, asking, “How much did Mr. Du invest in this online building?”
“1 million.”
"Wow, so many, how do you divide the shares?"
Yuan Tiangang did not hide it, and stood next to the water dispenser at the door of the conference room. While pouring water, he introduced: "Mr. Du took 80% of the shares. My three colleagues and I don't have to pay. We invested in technology and manpower to get the remaining 20% of the shares. However, Mr. Du said that he only does financial investment and does not participate in the daily operations of the company, so he gave us 30% of the voting rights, so we decided on our own, and unless there are major differences or conflicts, he would decide."
Ma Yun's eyes lit up and he asked: "Aren't stocks all stocks and votes? How do you divide this voting right?"
