Chapter 404 Departure
Wudaokou, carving time.
This is a coffee shop that never closes all year round. It has a stylish decoration and is located in a prosperous area. It is very popular among students around you.
Fortunately, it was morning and during the summer vacation, there was no one in the cafe, so Chen Qiaoshan took Yan Xiaoqin straight to the third floor.
Not only did I meet Chen Yizhou today, but later last year, Wang Gongquan also took the initiative to contact him and wanted to meet and have a talk, but Chen Qiaoshan did not refuse and made an appointment here directly, but he just pushed back the time.
Yan Xiaoqin flipped through the coffee list and asked, "Garlic tuna fish noodles and tomato sauce noodles, what do you eat?"
Chen Qiaoshan was busy revising the plan for the webmaster meeting last night, and he was busy until the second half of the night. At this time, he didn't even have breakfast. "If I really want to choose, it must be braised pork, and Dongpo's elbows are fine."
The waitress next to her didn't laugh out loud. Yan Xiaoqin had no way to deal with him. "The cat pouncer will come soon. Don't you hurry up and fill your stomach."
"Then let's have a tuna noodle." Chen Qiaoshan is a carnivore, which is very similar to Xiao Wu.
When the waiter brought the noodles, the fragrance suddenly filled the air.
Yan Xiaoqin said, "It smells so good. What is tuna? Why haven't you heard of it?"
"It's just the transliteration of Tuna, Tuna, Hong Kong and Taiwan like to translate this way." Chen Qiaoshan explained, and then put up a piece of fish and said, "Try it."
Yan Xiaoqin was not polite and tasted it: "It tastes a bit chicken."
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Europeans and Americans call this thing sea chicken, but Asia calls grouper sea chicken."
The chef has good skills, but the amount is a little smaller. This is Chen Qiaoshan’s biggest resentment towards Western food. It is still satisfying to eat large pieces of meat, of course, except for Russian Western food.
"Chen Xi called me last night."
Chen Qiaoshan picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked, "I suspect that you two are the real sisters. She hasn't called me for several days."
Yan Xiaoqin said proudly: "That's right, we can chat."
Chen Qiaoshan glanced at her. After a year of college life, Yan Xiaoqin's original youth had gradually faded away and her figure had grown. However, the curves were fully displayed. It was the age of arbitrary youth, which was very attractive to people's attention.
Seeing his eyes wandering at him, Yan Xiaoqin was secretly happy, but she still gave him a blank look and said angrily: "What are you looking at? I won't deal with you again." Unfortunately, there was no deterrence in his words, but his delicate appearance was fully displayed, adding a little charm to him.
Chen Qiaoshan smiled. After all, it was a public place, so he still paid great attention to his image. "Didn't Xiaowu call you?"
"Why didn't there?" Yan Xiaoqin smiled and said, "One phone call a day is about asking when you will go home."
Thinking of Xiaowu, Chen Qiaoshan also scratched his head. They were all born to the same mother. The third and fourth brothers were all very successful, but Xiaowu was an exception. She couldn't hide her cleverness, but she was useless and the right place was a headache to think about it.
Not long after, Chen Yizhou came.
Although it was the first time to meet each other, Chen Qiaoshan still recognized the real owner at a glance because Chen Yizhou was too fat and was not much different from the image in later media.
"This is Tian Zhe, the webmaster of Maopu." Chen Yizhou first introduced the people around him, and then looked at Chen Qiaoshan.
Yan Xiaoqin said: "Mr. Chen, this is Chen Qiaoshan, an investor in Qingshan Forum."
Chen Yizhou was stunned for a moment. The two were too young, but he quickly recovered. "I believe everyone knows today's visit. Qianyou is very sincere. The current domestic forum market pattern is obvious. Tianya is troubled. Qingshan Forum has also reached a bottleneck period. Whether it is funds or traffic channels, external resources are needed, and Maopu is undoubtedly the best partner."
This was a bit aggressive. Chen Qiaoshan was displeased, but he did not show it on his face.
He knows the development trend of the Internet, and others may not be able to see through it.
The domestic Internet has always been a replica of the European and American model. Chen Yizhou has been lingering abroad for many years. Standing at the forefront of the times, he will naturally seize the opportunity, otherwise he will not bet in advance and acquire mergers and acquisitions.
"As far as I know, Maopu is not smooth sailing at present. Many of the contents are somewhat similar to our forum, right?" Chen Qiaoshan knew in his heart that Maopu is different from Tianya. The former started out as a game forum. Although he later transformed, he was restricted by the server conditions and had not developed well.
Tian Zhe was a little embarrassed. He was the webmaster of Maopu, so he naturally knew the details inside.
After the incorporation of Qiangu, although the hardware upgrade was completed, the forum did not improve much. In order to increase its popularity, it had to organize a professional reposting team and attack everywhere.
Chen Yizhou did not deny that, "Internet entrepreneurship, users are the ultimate decisive factor. The top three comprehensive forums are Maopu, Qingshan Forum and Tianya Community. Whoever can take the lead first will win the next competition. Do you think Qingshan Forum still has a chance?"
Chen Qiaoshan didn’t want to start the price, but it was definitely not Qiangu who could afford the high price.
Instead of getting entangled, he took out two invitation letters and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Tian, there will be a webmaster exchange meeting on the 8th of next month. I hope you can come to guide you."
The two of them took the invitation letter, but there was no special mark on it, and it seemed that they had an admission certificate as soon as they entered the venue.
Tian Zhe looked through and asked, "What kind of exchange meeting is it?"
"The attendees are all the webmasters of individual stations, organized by Kang Sheng, and are considered as private gatherings." Chen Qiaoshan did not say too much. Apart from the meeting location, the final plan has not been determined.
Chen Yizhou heard something else from his words, "What's your relationship with Kang Sheng?"
Chen Qiaoshan said: "We are all members of the founding team."
Chen Yizhou was a little surprised and puzzled. Kang Sheng is now also a star company in Zhongguancun. His valuation is over 100 million yuan, and his reputation is much greater than Qiangu.
Chen Yizhou didn't take the invitation letter in his heart. He was one of the first Internet people in China. ChinaRen taught a profound lesson. He knew better than anyone that capital is the decisive factor in Internet entrepreneurship.
Tian Zhe was very curious about Kang Sheng, so he asked a few questions. The people talked about the possibility of the merger of Maopu and Qingshan Forum for a while, but there was no debate again.
"Mr. Chen, I have to consider your proposal. Let's do this. I will definitely give you a definite answer around mid-August." Yan Xiaoqin suddenly interrupted. She didn't talk much today and gave all the initiative to Chen Qiaoshan, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she blocked the possibility of continuing to talk.
Chen Yizhou was a little surprised and had a long time to go around with Chen Qiaoshan. Before he could get to the point, he was blocked by the main person. He was a little helpless and had to come up with a draft agreement and said: "This is our latest condition. You can take a look. If there is any problem, you can communicate at any time."
After leaving an agreement, the two left first.
Chen Qiaoshan asked, "What's wrong? Can you chat for a while?"
Yan Xiaoqin put her watch at him and said, "Tianya is coming soon. You don't want the three parties to gather together, right?"
In just three or five minutes, Wang Gongquan appeared at the entrance of the stairs.
Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised and saw the founder of Maopu. He thought Xing Ming would come over, but he didn't expect Wang Gongquan to come alone.
Wang Gongquan's clothes are very casual today, and no one will associate him with the founder of a multinational company, but the little eyes behind the glasses are too vivid, and his alertness and shrewdness can't be hidden.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Gongquan handed over a check and said, "This is 100,000 yuan, 968 yuan to cash in on the bet."
Chen Qiaoshan took it and took a look, then pushed it back, "Mr. Wang, after all, it was a private bet. Isn't this money suitable for me?"
"Aren't you the bet on the gamble? Apart from Peking University Qiaoshan, who dares to be so sure about the trend of the SME Board?" Wang Gongquan said, staring at the opposite side with a steady look, hoping to see clues from it.
There was no strange thing on Chen Qiaoshan's face, and his identity was not deliberately kept secret. It was not surprising that the other party found out. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you are wronging me. It's not me who bet against Xing Ming."
Wang Gongquan asked in surprise: "Do you know Jiuliu?"
"I am also an old member of Tianya Community, it's not surprising that I know, right?"
Yan Xiaoqin smiled and watched the two of them play the game, but didn't say anything.
Wang Gongquan is a very successful industrial businessman. After quitting Wantong, he switched to venture capital, but he has not made any achievements.
He invested 3721, but it was a small fuss. He invested 2 million with IDG, or RMB. As a result, he was diluted by the $5 million in Jifu Asia and was almost gone. It was that investment that made him realize the power of capital in venture capital.
Wang Gongquan is preparing to build an investment fund under his control, and the first project is Tianya Community.
Although he did not understand the Internet, he was well versed in the market rules. Like Chen Yizhou, he directly focused on the Qingshan Forum that suddenly emerged.
"One million US dollars." Wang Gongquan directly quoted a sky-high price, and Kang Sheng had only received two million US dollars in financial funds. In his opinion, this price was enough to impress the two people on the other side.
Unfortunately, neither Chen Qiaoshan nor Yan Xiaoqin had any special reactions.
Wang Gongquan knew the reason why he could stop. He did not continue to persuade him, but instead talked about the stock market with Chen Qiaoshan.
In the end, just like treating Chen Yizhou, he politely sent an invitation letter, and Yan Xiaoqin ended the meeting.
"One million US dollars is a lot. Do you really think the Qingshan Forum is worth ten million?" After seeing off Wang Gongquan, Yan Xiaoqin couldn't help asking this question again.
"I don't have to say whether it's worth it or not. It depends on whether the buyer is willing to be the sucker."
The next day, Chen Qiaoshan rushed to Hong Kong as scheduled.
He originally wanted to visit Director Yu of the Science and Technology Commission, but unfortunately, the other party had official activities and had to put them on hold for the time being.
Saying goodbye to Yan Xiaoqin, Chen Qiaoshan boarded the flight to Hong Kong. The moment the plane took off, he felt like the sky was wide, and maybe he would look different when he came back.
Chapter completed!
