When Hu Mingchen and Guan Yanhe walked in front of the previous ASUS store with the notebook, the arrogant saleswoman looked at Hu Mingchen with a shocked face.

In order to make it easier to bring it back, Hu Mingchen didn't even ask for a computer box, but just packed it with a computer and took it away. This S5, after several bargains, was finally sold for 14,600 yuan, even if Hu Mingchen wanted to issue a ticket, the male salesman also asked the company to help cut 1,200 yuan.

Shocked, the saleswoman regretted a little that she had missed a good business and a few hundred yuan in commission.

Of course, Hu Mingchen didn't mean to show off in front of her, Hu Mingchen was not so boring, the key was to leave the mall, and he had to pass by over there.

After two days of wandering, Hu Mingchen called Ma Jiahao.

Although Hu Mingchen only holds 25% of the shares of Penguin Technology, he is actually a major shareholder, and his shares are not less than that of Ma Jiahao. Therefore, when he received a call from Hu Mingchen and heard that he was in Pengcheng, Ma Jiahao immediately couldn't wait to see him.

"I'm outside the gate, or I'll see you. ”

"How can you be, don't care where you are, tell me an address, and I'll come at once. ”

For Hu Mingchen, Ma Jiahao really has a profound impact, he has never met such an investor. At the beginning, Ma Jiahao felt that his company was only worth 1 million, and he was willing to sell it for 1 million, but who knew that Hu Mingchen actually assessed it as worth 100 million, and invested 20 million, only asking for 25 percent of the company's shares.

It can be said that without Hu Mingchen, there would be no continued existence and development of Penguin Technology, and it was Hu Mingchen who helped the company through that life-and-death crisis when they were the most difficult and arduous. It is also with the support of those 20 million that the company has been able to optimize its business and has room to find new investors to join.

Therefore, even if Hu Mingchen is young, he is indeed the person Ma Jiahao respects and appreciates the most. In Ma Jiahao's heart, Hu Mingchen can be said to be the founder of this company, if it weren't for Hu Mingchen's original words of encouragement that stunned him, he Ma Jiahao would not have been proud to continue to work hard, vowing to build Penguin Technology into a world-class network company.

At present, although there is still a long way to go from that lofty goal, Ma Jiahao has seen the light.

After Hu Mingchen told Ma Jiahao the address of the hotel where he was staying, half an hour later, Ma Jiahao personally drove to Hu Mingchen's room at the Century Hotel.

"Hu Gongzi, you came to Pengcheng, why don't you say a word to me, I heard that you have been here for a few days, you really shouldn't be. As soon as he entered the door, Ma Jiahao was close to blaming Hu Mingchen.

"I'm not here to make it easy for you to celebrate the New Year, besides, I also have other things to talk about two days ago, come, sit here. ”

After Hu Mingchen beckoned Ma Jiahao to sit down, he poured him a glass of water and put it in front of him.

"Why, looking at your posture, you seem to be from the company instead of from home, is it possible that there is no holiday for the New Year?" Hu Mingchen saw Ma Jiahao in a suit and leather shoes, so he made this kind of guess and judgment.

"Holidays, how can you not take holidays, if you don't have holidays during the New Year, then the employees will not turn the sky upside down. However, our company's business exists 24 hours a day, and the company has to have people stay, so several of our management and some employees who have not gone home to work are on duty at the company. It's my turn to be on duty today. Ma Jiahao explained, "I heard you say just now that you talked about other things, is it possible that you have other investments in Pengcheng?"

Hu Mingchen and they were able to invest in Penguin Technology, and they had already spent 20 million at once, so it was normal to have other investments.

"Well, there is another electronics factory here, Bloomberg Electronics Co., Ltd., I came this time to focus on the situation of this company, and by the way, I will talk to you. Hu Mingchen nodded.

"Since you invested, I believe that the development of this company is also good. Ma Jiahao admired Hu Mingchen.

"Hehe, it's okay, the business is good, and the profits will be on the right path, but the company's development direction is a little biased, so I'm going to communicate and hope that the management can turn the company's development direction on the right path." Hu Mingchen said vaguely.

"Oh, in that case, then you should also give us Penguin Technology a pulse, you are the majority shareholder of the company, you can't ignore it. ”

"Hehe, Penguin Technology has developed very well under your leadership, how can I take the pulse, I heard that the company has stopped losing money. Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

"After two consecutive financings, the company has indeed stabilized, but in terms of profitability, it is still insufficient. At present, the number of users of the company's products has reached 100 million, and the number of real-time online users has exceeded 2 million. By the way, can you evaluate again, how much is the company worth at the moment?" Ma Jiahao attaches great importance to Hu Mingchen's view of the company.

"Hehe, will you not count in your heart?" Hu Mingchen asked with a smile.

"Hehe, what I said is not as accurate as yours, maybe...... Now it's worth seven or eight billion, right?" Ma Jiahao smiled honestly.

A well-known Internet boss, if people see his smirk, their jaws will probably drop.

"You're too modest, didn't you raise another $45 million? That's hundreds of millions. How can the company be worth so much, how can it be above one billion, the number of customers exceeds 100 million, and two or three billion are indispensable. Hu Mingchen sat on the sofa and said casually.

"Are there really so many?" Ma Jiahao was surprised again.

In Ma Jiahao's mind, the current value of the company should be between one billion and one fifteen billion, but Hu Mingchen doubled this number.

"Of course, the most important thing for Penguin Technology now is to find a good path to profitability, as long as this problem is solved, the value of the company will be multiplied and multiplied, there is no doubt about this. Hu Mingchen nodded solemnly.

Hu Mingchen didn't joke in the first place, and when it came to business, he couldn't joke.

"We have a headache for this too, what advice do you have for this? Don't say you don't understand, you don't understand me, in the Internet industry, there is no one who understands better than you. Seeing that Hu Mingchen was about to be modest again, Ma Jiahao hurriedly said.

"Hahaha, you, you, aren't you rushing ducks to the shelves? To be honest, I don't have a computer of my own so far. But...... Now that we've talked about it, let's talk about it. Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

"You say, I'm listening. Ma Jiahao didn't pretend to talk about it, he actually took out a pen from his body, took the hotel's letterhead, and planned to make a record.

"At the moment of profit, our company can develop a virtual currency based on a live chat tool. ”

"Virtual currency?"

"Well, that is, customers can recharge to buy points, and this point can be consumed, for example, the company's number can be divided into ordinary number and VIP number. The ordinary account does not need money, but the VIP account needs to be invested. For example, the dress up of the avatar, such as the update and expansion of the management content in the background, etc., anyway, people spend money to give him some special functions. In this way, if 100 million users are willing to recharge, the profit will be considerable. Hu Mingchen said based on his own experience.

Once Hu Mingchen spent money to buy a yellow diamond, so that his number was different from other people's, and many young people spent some money on it at that time.

"That's a really good idea, yes, it's a good direction. Ma Jiahao said excitedly, "Say, you continue." ”

"You're really trying to drain me. ”

"You are the company's current largest shareholder, and it seems unreasonable for you to contribute to the company's profit. Ma Jiahao is determined to rely on Hu Mingchen.

"Count you ruthless, okay, I'll just think it's for myself. This is secondly, of course, advertising, I know that you have introduced the advertising model, but I think it is still quite single, there is a lot of room for in-depth, I think the company can find more companies to cooperate, and the communication company as a carrier to deliver, of course, can not be flooded, otherwise, users will be disgusted, this degree should be grasped. Since the conversation is open, it is impossible for Hu Mingchen to hide it.

Since he called Ma Jiahao, Hu Mingchen wanted to talk to him about this matter, so that Penguin Technology could avoid detours as much as possible.

As Hu Mingchen said, he is doing this for others, but it is also for himself. The better the company develops, the more valuable Hu Mingchen's shares will be.

"Well, we've thought about it, we're planning it, we're preparing it technically. Ma Jiahao nodded while recording.

If Ma Jiahao couldn't even think of this, then how could they create a new situation one by one.

Even if Hu Mingchen and Ma Jiahao said that they were just pointing out a direction, how to implement it really didn't require Hu Mingchen to worry about it at all, and he really didn't understand the technical level.

"The third is that in the future, computer games can be introduced. With such a large number of our clients, they are the best asset. Once the customer stickiness increases and the company's products become an essential part of their lives, then when the company introduces games, they will naturally become gamers. Games are addictive, and when the time comes, the cost of this will be even greater, and accordingly, the profitability of the company will be extraordinary......"

Ma Jiahao's records are non-stop, and he really feels that Hu Mingchen appeared in a timely manner, and the idea he came up with is exactly what the company needs most, but he has not thought it through at present.

After Hu Mingchen's point, Ma Jiahao had a feeling of being enlightened and enlightened. He believes that Hu Mingchen's proposal can be achieved as long as it is overcome in terms of technology. In the not-too-distant future, Penguin Tech will become a hugely profitable technology company.
