Chapter 104: First Acquaintance with Little Pony
It was already 1 o'clock in the morning when I came out of Shenshi Airport, and when I walked out of the pick-up hall, the pick-up hall at this time was relatively deserted, and Zhuo Ziyuan easily found Lu Tao and Xu Ziqiang, the two of them flew from Dongdu to Shenzhen in the afternoon, and they had already arranged it in the hotel.
There was also a person standing next to them, Zhuo Ziyuan felt very familiar at first sight, and the person who could make him feel familiar but really hadn't seen it should be Brother Xiaoma.
Sure enough, seeing Zhuo Ziyuan coming out, Xu Ziqiang took the initiative to come forward to say hello.
"Boss, it's hard work, the plane came so late. Let me introduce, Mr. Ma, this is Mr. Zhuo Ziyuan, the boss of our Dao Capital, boss, this is the CEO of Penguin, Mr. Ma. ”
"Hello, hello, Mr. Zhuo, hard work. Brother Xiao Ma took the initiative to step forward to shake hands, he was actually still shocked by Zhuo Ziyuan's youth, Xu Ziqiang did not have Zhuo Ziyuan's consent, and did not inform Brother Xiao Ma of Zhuo Ziyuan's identity as a high school student.
"Mr. Ma, hello, I have admired the name for a long time, I really worked hard for you, it is so late, and I am still bothering you. Zhuo Ziyuan was very excited, this is a real big man in the future life, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to pick him up today.
The current little brother is 30 years old, much thinner than what he saw in the news and videos in later generations, and his face is not so rounded.
"Manager Xu, didn't I tell you, don't bother the people of the Ma head office, why did Mr. Ma come in person. Zhuo Ziyuan pretended to blame Xu Ziqiang, and he still had to say what he said on the scene.
This is not just a scene, Zhuo Ziyuan originally explained that they don't use it to pick up the airport, just send a driver to pick it up, if it weren't for Li Xinyuan, Zhuo Ziyuan would have no problem taking a taxi by himself, now this society is not as safe as in later generations, many taxis are not standardized, soliciting customers, stealing customers is still a trivial matter, and sometimes there is even a threat of kidnapping.
Zhuo Ziyuan can say that, of course Xu Ziqiang, as a subordinate, will not do that, just kidding, the boss won't let you pick up the plane, you won't pick up the plane, how can you still mix in the workplace.
Lu Tao can not come to pick up the airport at all, after all, he has no subordinate relationship with Zhuo Ziyuan, but he has always attached importance to Zhuo Ziyuan, and the trivial matter of picking up the airport is of course necessary.
After all, Zhuo Ziyuan, as the person in charge of Youdao Capital, who is about to own 20% of the equity of his company, needs to maintain a certain degree of respect, and now this era is already capital first, capital is the choice to put, is Party A, and the enterprise is Party B, unlike later, technology is king, many Internet companies are the objects of capital struggle, and these companies have the right to choose capital.
"Don't blame Mr. Xu, don't be obedient Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu doesn't want to tell me your flight information, I insisted on following them. You are a VIP, I came to pick up the airport, it is right, we also want to thank Mr. Zhuo for his trust and strong support to the penguins. "Brother Xiaoma's posture is quite low, and now in this environment, he can't be high.
Zhuo Ziyuan did not treat Brother Xiao Ma as a savior, a capable person like Brother Xiaoma, he is very respectful, and it is best to be a friend.
You treat people with sincerity, and people treat you with sincerity. Zhuo Ziyuan believes that as long as he treats each other sincerely, Xiao Ma will not be as ruthless to his investment partners as another horse. And Brother Pony's evaluation in later generations has always been very positive.
"That's really troublesome Mr. Ma, oh, by the way, this is my sister, Li Xinyuan, if you have to come out with me this time, I will take her out to meet an elite person like Mr. Ma. ”
"Miss Li, hello, you are so beautiful, and Mr. Zhuo is really a talented woman. Little Brother Ma patted a little fart.
"Thank you, Mr. Ma is a young talent. Li Xinyuan smiled and complimented back.
While speaking, Xu Ziqiang had already led them to a Buick business car arranged by Penguin Company, and they were a group of five people, plus six drivers, just enough for a business car to sit down.
"Mr. Zhuo, you can accept the shares of our company so generously, it is really courageous, I don't know why Mr. Zhuo will look at our company? I believe that the information in the market, Mr. Zhuo should also be very clear, but there are many investment institutions refuse to take over. Brother Xiao Ma sat next to Zhuo Ziyuan, he also intended to be close to Zhuo Ziyuan, to understand Zhuo Ziyuan's true thoughts, Zhuo Ziyuan's youth made him have to pay attention to it.
"Mr. Ma, Ming people don't say dark words, I really want to make friends with elites like Mr. Ma, I know the market environment, but I am very optimistic about the prospects of the Internet, the current crisis is only temporary, it is the investors of the United States imperialism who have done their own wrongs, although it has an impact on the development of the Internet in our country, but it can't stop our footsteps, after all, we are a big country with a population of more than one billion, I believe that in a few years, our Internet users will increase rapidly, and when the time comes, our Internet companies will take off. Zhuo Ziyuan didn't say anything tentative, but expressed his opinion straightforwardly.
"Then I wonder if Mr. Zhuo is willing to take over if there is still our shares for sale?" asked Brother Xiao tentatively.
"Of course, as long as Mr. Ma is willing, I will take over unconditionally, which is why I propose follow-up financing, and we must give priority to it. ”
"I don't know why Mr. Zhuo is so optimistic about our penguins? Brother Pony was puzzled by Zhuo Ziyuan's strong self-confidence, and he was not sure what his penguin would become.
"I believe in my vision of people, although it is the first time I met Mr. Ma, I have collected some information from Mr. Ma from many channels, and I believe that Mr. Ma will become a generation of heroes in the future. Zhuo Ziyuan looked at Brother Xiao Ma and said seriously. In fact, Zhuo Zi has simulated these problems a long time ago, but he can't say that he knows that Penguin will become one of the three giants of the domestic Internet in ten years, so it is most appropriate to start from the perspective of looking at people.
not only explained the reason for his investment, but also praised Xiao Ma in disguise, leaving a perfect impression.
"Mr. Zhuo's love, I deserve it, Mr. Zhuo's kindness, I will remember it. "For Brother Xiaoma, this investment can indeed be regarded as a gift in the snow.
"It's serious, it's not a favor, I still have to rely on Mr. Ma to increase the value of my investment, in the final analysis, I still take advantage of Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma has to fight in front of the battle, I will pay some money, hide behind and get a little light. Zhuo Ziyuan also put his posture very low.
Brother Xiao Ma has a good impression of Zhuo Ziyuan, he is not arrogant and approachable from other capital companies, and he has not taken advantage of the fire to rob in the current situation of the market plummeting, which can be regarded as conscientious capital.
"Mr. Zhuo just said that the Internet crisis is only temporary, and I don't know when Mr. Zhuo predicts when this crisis will pass. ”
"If it's fast, it's 1 year, if it's slow, it's up to 2 years, as long as the computer penetration rate of our younger generation goes up, I believe that the Internet era will come soon. Zhuo Ziyuan still has a lot to say about this.
"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Zhuo to be so optimistic about the Internet, yes, Mr. Zhuo is also a young generation, and his knowledge must be much more advanced than those old experts. ”
"The Internet is the general trend of development, the Internet will bring the era of information explosion, through the Internet, information transmission around the world can be completed instantly, the future of none of us can get out of this network, once the experience of the convenience of the Internet, I believe no one wants to return to the era of paper media. Zhuo Ziyuan continued to increase the weight, Zhuo Ziyuan believes that after a few years, when Brother Xiao Ma thinks back to today's dialogue, he will definitely recognize himself more from the bottom of his heart.
Brother Xiao Ma thought carefully about Zhuo Ziyuan's words, and felt a deep sense of identity, and he was also looking forward to Zhuo Ziyuan's words in the era of information explosion, "Then I don't know Mr. Zhuo, do you have any views and opinions on our Penguin Company?" Brother Xiao Ma unconsciously asked a question that he shouldn't ask.
Zhuo Ziyuan glanced at him and knew that the other party had begun to accept his identity as a friend, and was no longer just the capital party, as the founder of the company, he should resist the intervention and penetration of the capital side into the company from any angle, but now he took the initiative to ask the capital side about the company's development, indicating that his psychological defense line has been lowered.
"At present, Penguin is only used as a chat tool, I don't think it reflects its value at all, just as a chat tool, it is easy to be copied, we want to improve the viscosity of users, I think the company should consider this aspect next, first of all, I think you can start with the game, I am not talking about RPG games, these occupy too much time for users, can only retain those users who have enough time, and often office workers will not have so much time to spend on online games, I think you can do some chess and card games, you can collect chess and cards from all over the country, mahjong play, any few people can start, a game only takes a few minutes, I believe that office workers will like it very much, but also can attract the elderly, and also has a certain attraction to the younger generation. Second, penguins are now just for chatting, and I think we can develop a platform that allows each user to show themselves, such as writing a reading note, sharing the experience of the day, uploading some interesting photos for friends to see, etc., which can be called a personal space. In this way, we will be able to grasp the fragmented time of more users, and as for more solutions, it will depend on Mr. Ma's team to conduct in-depth research, and my opinions are for reference only. What he said was for reference only, but Zhuo Ziyuan knew that these two points were definitely done by the penguin, and if he brought it up by himself, he could also increase his weight in Brother Xiaoma's heart.
Brother Xiao Ma is completely shocked now, and their team is also considering making games, but they are not thinking about board and card games at present, as for personal space, it is a new field for Brother Xiaoma, and the concept of fragmented time proposed by Zhuo Ziyuan is simply to the point, Brother Xiao Ma couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Zhuo Ziyuan didn't bother him, the technical man is like this, it's easy to immerse himself in his own world.
"How's the contract prepared for tomorrow?" Zhuo Ziyuan turned around and asked Xu Ziqiang.
"Oh, I've already negotiated with the other party and agreed to pay five million dollars immediately, and the rest will be paid in half a year. Lawyer Lu has confirmed with the other party. Xu Ziqiang said that he admired his boss more and more, and with a few words, he said that the other party's boss was deep thinking, and obviously the boss's words brought great inspiration to the other party.
"Yes, Mr. Zhuo, I have reached an agreement with the other party's legal counsel on the contract, and the other party has no problem with what you said. Lu Tao answered.
"Okay, I'll give me a copy later, I'll take a look. "Although I am very relieved of Lu Tao, after all, it is such a big transaction, as the boss, it is still necessary to confirm it, otherwise it is not good to leave a good mind for subordinates.
"No problem, I'll give it to you when you get to the hotel. ”
The hotel I stayed in this time was a five-star Marriott Hotel, which was arranged by Penguin, and the press conference was also arranged to be held in a conference hall of the hotel. After arriving at the location, Xiao Ma accompanied Zhuo Ziyuan to check in and left, he had to hurry back to consider Zhuo Ziyuan's proposal, and planned to convene the backbone to discuss tomorrow.
