Chapter 442 Cooperation Intention
"Mr. Zhou, this is our President Chen, the President of Kangsheng Technology, the actual controller of Hong Kong Qingshan Capital, and the initiator of this webmaster conference."
Under Liu Chang's introduction, Chen Qiaoshan met Zhou Hongyi, who is now at the first peak of his life.
As the name suggests, Boss Zhou looks very festive in a red T-shirt.
"Oh! You are Mr. Chen from Kangsheng, I admire him for a long time!" Boss Zhou was obviously surprised. He looked at Chen Qiaoshan curiously, and after hesitating, he took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou!" Chen Qiaoshan shook hands with the other party with a smile. Kang Sheng's valuation of 100 million yuan was still hyped by the person in front of him. No matter what the future will happen, at least he will have to bear the favor now.
Zhou Hongyi said: "Mr. Chen is really young and promising!"
Even if you pay attention to wearing it, it is naturally easy to see through these people's eyes.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't know if there was anything else in this sentence, and he didn't have time to think about it carefully. He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is too good. Compared to you, I am a junior student."
After all, it was the first time we met. The two of them grind their teeth here indifferently. They never fell into the same state at first sight, and they didn't regret meeting too late.
Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that both of them were not simple.
Today's search engine market is basically monopolized by Google and Baidu, while Yahoo and Zhongsou are only in the second camp.
Zhou Hongyi took over Yahoo China and launched Yisou's fundamental purpose is to break the old pattern and expand its market share in the country.
Hope is beautiful, but the road is tortuous.
Baidu relies on the traffic advantages of the portal. After realizing the importance of search, several major portals have successively developed independent search engines. Now, the basic pattern of this market has been formed and it is difficult to accommodate new competitors.
Once you search, it is impossible to compete with Yahoo Search for resources and promote it, you must find another development space.
There is definitely no need to rely on several major portals, either spending money on advertising, which obviously has no cost-effectiveness, and the large promotion costs are also a problem. Even if Boss Zhou is the president of Yahoo China, his financial power is in the hands of the US headquarters, and some things are involuntarily uncontrollably.
The corporate culture of multinational Internet companies is very unacceptable, which is very prominent at the moment.
After Lenovo Aolong went bankrupt, the friction between AOL and Lenovo was exposed one after another by resigned personnel, and it also caused a big discussion. The differences in cultural concepts between the East and the West are especially true in the Internet field.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that Zhou Hongyi should have seen opportunities from the webmaster conference, but the result is really hard to say.
"Mr. Zhou, I want to talk to you alone later. Don't you know if you have time?"
"Oh, is there anything wrong?" Zhou Hongyi was a little surprised. After all, she was also the president of a multinational company in China. Although she did not believe in her identity, she made an appointment as soon as she met her, which was a bit abrupt.
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and took a document from Liu Chang, "I have some materials, Mr. Zhou might as well take a look first. If it is convenient, let's talk about it later."
Zhou Hongyi couldn't figure out the other party's intentions. He took the materials he handed over and looked at, his face suddenly looked a little ugly. The one listed on it was Yishou's domain name dispute and some comparison materials were attached, which obviously came prepared.
Zhou Hongyi knew very well that once this incident got into the media, the impact would be absolutely negative. Not to mention promotion, if it was used by someone who was interested, it would be aborted if the search project might not be done well, and the early investment would be in vain. This is obviously not what he hoped.
"Mr. Chen, if I have time at noon, I will serve as a party, so let's have a meal together." Zhou Hongyi swept away her previous hesitation and directly asked for an invitation, which surprised everyone around her.
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "How can you make money? It just so happened that Kang Sheng held a banquet in the VIP room in front at noon. If Mr. Zhou is convenient, he might as well come together."
Zhou Hongyi was a little helpless. The young man opposite was really difficult. He wanted to refuse directly. Is this something that can be discussed publicly?
Obviously, the person on the other side had an impure purpose, but he had no choice. After thinking about it, he still agreed.
Rebs sat next to Zhou Hongyi. Now Mr. Lei is still a very restrained product manager. The two did not talk too much, but he politely declined the invitation to the luncheon.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't care. He would give him face if he could come, and he didn't force him.
Even at the webmaster meeting, the seating arrangement is also given priority.
Some small sites with no fame can only be used as background boards at the back, and truly influential representatives gather in the front row.
At last night's exchange meeting, Chen Qiaoshan didn't meet any famous site manager, but today it was different. Many potential personal site managers appeared one after another.
"This is Mr. Li, the webmaster of Bubble.com..."
Chen Qiaoshan saw a slightly fat young man and thought about it for a moment. He remembered this person in his mind, Li Xiang.
Compared with Bubble.com today, Autohome is Li Xiang’s famous work, but until now, there has been no news about Autohome.
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but feel a little fluctuating. He knew that this was the opportunity hidden behind the webmaster conference.
Nowadays, a huge number of Internet companies are in their infancy, and there are endless possibilities here.
"This is Zheng Li, the webmaster of 163888..."
"Mr. Chen, this is Miss Zhou Juan, the representative of NetEase..."
"This is Mr. Pang from Yitong.com..."
...
As he walked along the way, Chen Qiaoshan's mind was spinning rapidly, comparing the past in his memory one by one.
This feeling was very wonderful. Chen Qiaoshan once again experienced the benefits of cheating. While introducing himself enthusiastically, he did not forget to actively exchange business cards, and was unwilling to miss any opportunities.
"Mr. Chen, this person is..."
"No need to introduce it, I am very familiar with Mr. Chen."
Chen Yizhou interrupted Liu Chang and took the initiative to raise his hand and greet him: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry for being a clumsy. I didn't know the true Buddha when I met last time. I didn't expect you to be an investment person, and you're really showing off your skills."
Chen Qiaoshan shook hands with the other party with a smile. The other party wanted to acquire Qingshan Forum, but he didn't know if he had any thoughts to get involved.
Qianyou now gives people the impression that he is rich and powerful, but outsiders don’t know how powerful he is.
Chen Yizhou came uninvited and was willing to attend in person, so the purpose was not difficult to guess.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't think much about it. Doing Internet investment is just a test of school vision. Even if he does not have experience in studying in Europe and the United States, his ability is not inferior to anyone. There is really nothing to worry about.
Nearly a thousand people present, only Chen Yizhou, Zhou Zhengning and himself were the three capital levels.
Zhou Zhengning was next to Chen Yizhou, and there was an empty seat in the middle. Chen Qiaoshan knew that it was left for him.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for supporting us!"
Chen Qiaoshan is still very polite about Zhou Zhengning. Without talking about anything else, Zhou Zhengning's attention may not attract so many participants.
Not everyone is willing to give a valuation of 10 million US dollars. If Kangsheng had not been a venture capital investor with a valuation of 10 million yuan, he might not have the current appeal.
Zhou Zhengning smiled and said, "There is no need to thank you. If there are good investment opportunities, we might as well cooperate with each other."
Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised. He couldn't tell the other party's meaning and couldn't help asking: "How to cooperate, and what kind of cooperation?"
Zhou Zhengning glanced at him, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Cooperation is not limited to Kangsheng, the most important thing is Heqingshan Capital."
Chen Qiaoshan was stunned. Qingshan Capital is currently just an empty shell. He is just an employee. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wallet company.
If Zhou Zhengning cannot see through the inside story, Chen Qiaoshan must not believe it.
The other party should be very clear that he had to mortgage his equity even if he borrowed two million US dollars, and he would definitely not have enough money. At this time, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't guess what the other party's intention was to cooperate with him.
Zhou Zhengning said: "Brother Chen, we are not secretly talking. At this webmaster meeting, you will be involved in Internet investment in the name of Qingshan Capital. We, Jifu Asia, are also very interested in this. If you agree, we are willing to cooperate with you again."
Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised. He thought for a moment before asking: "As far as I know, except for industrial investment, you only invest in Internet software companies. Do you want to transform?"
"That's not." Zhou Zhengning shook his head, "When the fund was raised, a strict restriction treaty was signed. As the actual custodian, we have no right to make changes."
Chen Qiaoshanqi said: "Then how can we cooperate? Is it your personal investment? This is probably not in accordance with the rules, right?"
Zhou Zhengning shook his head, "You don't have to worry. So far, several projects have been successfully withdrawn. According to the original agreement, after deducting shareholder dividends, some of them are intercepted. This is not subject to the agreement, and you can rest assured."
Chen Qiaoshan understood that with just two projects of 3721 and UC Langma, Jifu Asia's profits are conservatively estimated to be more than 50 million US dollars, which is really a huge profit compared with the original investment.
Faced with the sudden intention of cooperation, Chen Qiaoshan was a little hesitant.
He subconsciously wanted to refuse. This was a huge cake. People were selfish. Chen Qiaoshan was no exception. He had enough confidence to eat alone, but his reason always reminded himself that it was almost impossible to monopolize the market.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that there were too many things involved, not only the funds were as simple as that, but he couldn't take care of it for a while. After thinking about it, he simply said, "I can't hurry up on this matter. Let's make an appointment and have a good talk."
Zhou Zhengning smiled and agreed naturally.
As he deepened his contacts, he became more optimistic about the mainland market.
As a professional venture capitalist, Zhou Zhengning has enough insight. He is very clear that the software market has gradually declined, and he has a strong feeling that the Internet is the future investment direction.
Zhou Zhengning is optimistic about Kang Sheng, but he is more optimistic about Chen Qiaoshan.
Chen Qiaoshan made great efforts to intervene in Internet investment, obviously seeing this market. The other party dared to borrow money to enter the market. Why should he look forward to it and take a gamble?
