Chapter 429 Ambition

After all, it is the first webmaster conference, so problems will inevitably arise. Chen Qiaoshan is mentally prepared enough.

Kangsheng and Qingshan Forum are now well-known, and Discuz's market share is also increasing day by day, and its appeal is still there. In addition, the backward people are gathering places for webmasters, and with the assistance of Dong Qifeng, it is relatively less difficult.

The key is influence. Dai Zhikang wrote the core code of Discuz by himself. Under Chen Qiaoshan's instruction, Jia Yinan once made a special report.

According to the media, Dai Zhikang became the first millionaire born in the 1980s, and has become a typical example of contemporary Internet entrepreneurs.

The power of role models cannot be underestimated. Chen Qiaoshan believes that after this webmaster meeting, Kang Sheng will definitely be on the fast track of development.

“Have you heard from the invitation sent?”

This time there was a lot of noise. At Chen Qiaoshan's request, all major portals sent invitations. He forgot about this matter until now.

"There was no reply from TOM. NetEase agreed to attend the meeting, but the only one who came to the local forum was an editor. Sohu was a community operation specialist. Sina just gave a reply, but the candidate was not determined." Liu Chang said the more he said, the more he was less confident. Needless to think about it, the major mainstream portals did not even see Kang Sheng's invitation, and even a person with a slightly higher level was unwilling to send him.

Chen Qiaoshan was not much disappointed. In the eyes of several major portals, the domestic Internet industry is their own land. Personal stations and small-scale quarrels will not have much impact on the market.

He asked again: "Are there any responses to other invitations?"

"Yahoo's Zhou Hongyi agreed to attend the exchange meeting on the morning of the 9th, including Lei Jun from Kingsoft, Chen Yizhou from Qiangu, Hua Jun from Newhua, Li Xingping from Hao123, Gao Chunhui from Mobile Home..."

Overall, there were few big bosses and many small shrimps. Chen Qiaoshan knew about it, "Where is Tianya, why don't you come?"

Liu Chang gave him annoyed look. Some time ago, Qingshan Forum made many attacks, which made Tianya feel embarrassed. Now that he has just recovered, how could he come to join in the fun?

Chen Qiaoshan is not surprised that Zhou Hongyi and Lei Jun are willing to attend the conference. Both of them are marketing experts. They were regular visitors to the webmaster conference in their previous life, especially Boss Zhou, who also started scolding on the spot. They even criticized Kingsoft on the spot during the conference without leaving any room for anything.

As for Chen Yizhou's willingness to attend the meeting, Chen Qiaoshan was still a little surprised.

This guy is the most famous senior stock investor in the circle and likes to trade stocks. However, he plays in the US stock market and has made a lot of money in recent years. He is not short of capital. He should have come for the purpose of investment.

After understanding the key points, Chen Qiaoshan didn't think about it anymore. The market was very large, and more than 90% of the investment in all venture capital was wasted, and it would be great if 10% of it could succeed.

Although Chen Qiaoshan was short of funds, his advantages were also obvious. Chen Yizhou wanted to get involved, so he naturally welcomed him with both hands.

Everyone depends on their abilities, and there is nothing to worry about. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Didn't you send an invitation to IDG Capital? They didn't respond?"

"The other party's reply was that he couldn't find time recently." Liu Chang said the truth, reposted it as it was without any concealment.

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but feel angry. This reply was not even perfunctory, so it would be better not to say anything.

He knew in his heart that IDG Capital should have given up its investment plan in Kangsheng. Although he didn't know the reason, Chen Qiaoshan felt a little uncomfortable because he was underestimated.

Fortunately, now is not the right time to raise funds. Before showing off his strength, Chen Qiaoshan is not in a hurry to conduct a second round of financing for Kangsheng.

Seeing that his face was unwilling, Liu Chang shook his head secretly.

Although she has not participated in the capital market, she still has basic understanding.

IDG Capital has participated in the growth of domestic Internet almost throughout the process. Ctrip, Baidu, Tencent... After counting it carefully, it shows that it is almost everywhere, and Kangsheng is really too trivial.

Chen Qiaoshan is not very disappointed with IDG's absence. Zhou Hongyi and Lei Jun are at least considered Internet tycoons, so it's enough to have them warm up.

Even though the former is to build momentum for Yisou and hopes to promote search engines on small and medium-sized websites, and the other is to promote Kingsoft Network Alliance and compete directly with Lynk & Cott, the two are willing to support them, and Chen Qiaoshan still has a welcome attitude.

Tencent has suffered all the hardships because of its closed ecosystem, so Chen Qiaoshan will naturally not repeat the same mistakes.

Especially at this stage, opening up competition is a necessary means before you gain enough voice.

...

"Have the financing application been sorted out?" After understanding the relevant situation, Chen Qiaoshan asked the most concerned question.

Compared to spending a lot of money to expand the ecological chain, it is much less expensive to start with a startup.

For others, this is basically looking for a needle in a haystack, but it is not a problem at all for Chen Qiaoshan.

Today's Internet entrepreneurship is basically based on external financing, and few people can persist on their own.

Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that compared with IDG Capital, he could only be considered a small fight, but as a successful angel investor, he had an incomparable advantage. One is to judge the value of the project, and the other is, he would definitely not make IDG's past mistakes, such as shorting shares when Tencent was facing a life-and-death crisis.

Under the current conditions, it is difficult for Chen Qiaoshan to intervene in the primary market, but he is full of confidence to become the most successful angel investor in China.

Compared with providing funds, Chen Qiaoshan's greater advantage is his judgment of market trends.

He believed that as long as he persisted for a long time, it would take less than five years to reach half of the domestic Internet. In the future, it would be at least okay if he didn't say a word or a hundred responses.

Chen Qiaoshan's ambitions are not limited to this. Although his advantages are not obvious, with the help of capital, Kangsheng may not be able to replace the future BAT pattern.

Liu Chang took out a thick stack of materials and said helplessly: "According to your requirements, all of them have been sorted out, and a total of 471 financing applications are all here."

"So much?" Chen Qiaoshan was shocked. Now he is not rich, and even if he is preparing to enter the market, his budget is still very limited.

Qingshan Capital is now just a shell company, and its assets are only controlled by Kangsheng, Qingshan Forum, Lenovo Aolong and a mess of equity.

This webmaster meeting was Qingshan Capital’s first move and the first battle to make a name for itself. Chen Qiaoshan had already made plans to lose money and gain publicity.

Even if you lose money, you have to invest in more projects. Although it is not nice to have stupid people and have more money, at least it can show your strength and subsequent investments are easy to expand.

Looking at the information in hand, Chen Qiaoshan had a headache.

There may not be no projects in this industry. You must do your homework seriously. After thinking about it, a thought popped up in his mind, "Sister Chang, you are tired today, reorganize these financing reports."

Liu Chang was startled and said hurriedly: "So many financing applications are so busy that they can't sort out the meeting until the opening of the meeting?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "I don't have so many requirements. You can list the project name, applicant, contact information and address separately. I'll look at the others."

Liu Chang said suspiciously: "Is this meaningful? Can you tell whether the project is good or bad by looking at the summary?"

Of course, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't say that the IT circle is big or not, and there are not many successful people over and over again. It's easy to find it. After thinking about it, he said half-truely: "Where are you going to find so many good projects in a while? This time I just lose money and make a lot of money. I will choose a few more, and symbolically invest 30,000 to 50,000 yuan to get a reputation first."

Liu Chang obviously didn't believe it. In my impression, Chen Qiaoshan was not a casual person. He was generous, but he spent money in practice and never wasted him. However, she was the boss, so she was too lazy to ask questions.

Of course, Liu Chang didn't need to do this little thing by herself. She was about to call a clerk to deal with it when she suddenly remembered something, and she hurriedly asked again: "By the way, are you really going to find an assistant?"

"It's okay not to look for it. If you have any questions in the future, I'll leave it to you." Chen Qiaoshan never thought of doing everything himself. As he entered the capital market, more and more things would be done, and it would definitely not work without an assistant.

Liu Chang asked again: "Tell me, what are the specific requirements?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled, "My requirements are not high. Help me handle some basic daily work. Be more reliable. It is best to understand IT. If you have an understanding of finance, it would be great."

Liu Chang said angrily: "You are not asking for anything? You understand both IT and finance, so you can only find it from graduate students. How many graduate students do you think are willing to be assistants for others?"

This is the truth. The graduate students in 2004 are still very valuable.

Not to mention doctoral students, many of the master's students are targeted students. After graduation, they provide jobs or are commissioned for training. There are still very few recruitment and divisions, and there is no such thing as not being able to find a job.

Especially in finance majors, there is a huge gap in talent, especially those with master's degrees. Basically, employers are robbed. If anyone takes the FECT certificate, they will basically get a gold job. Even if it is just a junior certificate, the four major banks are rushing to get it.

If you work harder and get a CFA, you can get an annual salary. Nowadays, financial institutions around the world regard CFA franchise certification as a professional standard and enjoy a clear competitive advantage in the international workplace.

Even if there is no shortage of people who are good at taking the CFA qualification certification in China, there are still many people who can pass the CFA level examination in China, even if it is more than ten years later, there will be less than 5,000.

"I have no objection to graduate students in finance as long as you can recruit them."

Chen Qiaoshan made a joke casually.

He is just looking for an assistant, so he naturally doesn't expect to find a master's degree or a doctorate. "Don't worry, full-time assistant. I've had too much work during this period, so I'll find someone to come and make do with it for a while."

"That's it, I'll find one for you as soon as possible."

After a pause, Liu Chang asked with a smile: "Do I still need to discuss the candidate with Xiaoqin?"

Chen Qiaoshan’s biggest advantage is that he is thick-skinned. Yan Xiaoqin has been wiped out by him, so he would not care about others making jokes.

Standing by the glass curtain wall and looking at the tall buildings that had been covered not far away, Chen Qiaoshan felt a little restless. After the stationmaster meeting, maybe everything will be different.
