Chapter 409: The Key to Victory
What Xu Yiyang wants now is to seize the time to recruit talents.
Before, I was always short of money, and I couldn't move many things, or I couldn't do it with great fanfare, but now, I came to Hong Kong to borrow arrows from a straw boat, and I will soon have a lot of money in hand.
In this case, the most important thing is to find someone who can spend money, otherwise with this money, you can't find someone who can control so much money, and you can only use this money to manage your finances.
Zhang Xiaolong, a product talent, is far more valuable to himself than just a current demand.
In the future, with the continuous deepening of the development of the Internet, there will be a need for more in-depth and more professional products.
When the time comes, it may not be possible to find someone else.
But Zhang Xiaolong, there must be no problem.
Liu Mingchao immediately got in touch with Zhang Xiaolong, and twenty minutes later, Xu Yiyang's mobile phone rang.
The call came from a landline in Guangcheng.
Xu Yiyang immediately connected the phone, and a man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is it Mr. Xu?"
"Yes, I am, you are?"
The other party hurriedly said: "Hello, my name is Zhang Xiaolong, I am Liu Mingchao's senior brother, and I am also the developer of Foxmail. ”
Xu Yiyang immediately smiled and said: "Hello Mr. Zhang!
"You're welcome. Zhang Xiaolong said humbly, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, I heard Mingchao say, you want to buy Foxmail?"
"Yes. Xu Yiyang said: "If you sell Foxmail to me, I am willing to pay 15 million yuan, and it is a lump sum payment, but you have to come to my company to work for five years, I will give you an annual salary of 3 million." ”
Zhang Xiaolong was frightened by Xu Yiyang's offer.
When he received a call from Liu Mingchao just now, Liu Mingchao said the price of 15 million, but he didn't expect that the other party would give him an annual salary of 3 million!
The current Huaxia Internet company, if it can get an annual salary of three million, I'm afraid it can be counted on one hand, right?
Zhang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Xu, what do you need me to do?" Or can you give us a general introduction to the development direction of your company?"
Xu Yiyang said lightly: "My company is to make the best products in the Internet field, no matter what field, as long as I do it, I must do the best!"
Zhang Xiaolong was quite surprised.
Most of the bosses he contacted, when they opened their mouths to talk about the direction and planning, they wanted to become the top in China, to go to the United States for financing, to go public in the United States, to lead the brothers to make a lot of money, and to reach the peak of life.
Speaking of which, the pattern is very large.
However, few people can appropriately make the pattern smaller and focus on the essence of the Internet, that is, the product.
Whether it is a website, a software, a tool or a game, a technology, in the final analysis, it is a product in the field of the Internet, and only by doing a good job can we make a strong company.
Microsoft, if you do a good job in Windows, you will become the world's top;
Cisco, do a good job in network transmission technology, you can become the industry leader;
Intel, if you take chip design to the extreme, you can change the world......
In the entrepreneurial stage, such a company must think about how to make a good product, rather than how much money it will make at the beginning and where to go public.
Therefore, he felt that Xu Yiyang's words were very attractive to him, and he had a sense of like-mindedness.
Moreover, the conditions given by the other party are too generous, 30 million in five years, far exceeding their expectations......
Thinking about this, he asked Xu Yiyang: "Mr. Xu, if I sell Foxmail to you, how long will it take to complete the transaction?"
What he was worried about was that Xu Yiyang promised 15 million, but in the end he released the pigeons, and he was still talking about other buyers, in case Xu Yiyang rejected other homes, if Xu Yiyang suddenly changed his mind, he would be tossed in vain during this time.
Xu Yiyang said: "I will return to Zhonghai on March 19, and you can come to Zhonghai directly to find me at that time, and we will sign a contract and pay directly when we meet." ”
Zhang Xiaolong put his mind at ease.
The two companies I talked about said that the results could only be given in April, which means that I could promise Xu Yiyang first, and if there was any change on his side on March 19, the other two companies I was talking about would not be affected.
So he immediately said to Xu Yiyang: "Then I'll book a ticket to Zhonghai on the 19th today!"
......
successfully recruited Zhang Xiaolong into his command, giving Xu Yiyang great confidence.
He now finds that the strategic map of his next business has become clearer.
Since it is in this era, entrepreneurship should naturally give priority to the Internet, supplemented by training and education and the garment industry.
As for value-added businesses such as CRBT, they are completely kept there as a cash cow, and in the next few years, they will bring themselves a lot of cash flow.
In fact, the industries Xu Yiyang chose are basically cash flow businesses.
Once the training and education, garment industry is bigger, cash flow is also very abundant, these two sectors are high profit margins, stable income business, as long as the scale is large, will become a cash cow at that time.
If it weren't for its great ambition and desire to make Jiayang Education into New Oriental, its current profitability would have been able to provide itself with a lot of cash flow support.
As for SuperX, once there are hundreds of stores across the country, it is easy for a store to sell hundreds of pairs of pants a day, a turnover of hundreds of thousands, and a turnover of more than a billion or even billions a year.
Once these businesses are raised, when the time comes, the cash in your hands will be inexhaustible.
In the next one or two years, it will be a trough and ice period for the global Internet industry, and the stock prices of NetEase and Sina will even fall to $1 on the NASDAQ.
If you have a lot of cash in your hand, you can go crazy to the bottom of the Internet industry, and then wait a few years to make a bigger profit.
Next, whether everything can develop smoothly depends on Nvidia's stock.
......
In the afternoon, the Faculty of Arts of HKU held a sharing session on the theme of "Hong Kong".
Hu Bingwen had already asked Xu Yiyang to prepare in advance, but Xu Yiyang was busy with his own affairs and didn't prepare anything.
At two o'clock, everyone went to the small hall to gather.
This exchange was a bit like a discussion, because there was no podium, just seven chairs on the stage of the auditorium.
On the back of the auditorium stage, a background board was hung with the words "Student Exchange Meeting between the Faculty of Arts and the China Overseas School of Chinese Studies." In addition to this, two school crests were hung.
The process of the exchange meeting was that three student representatives from the Faculty of Arts, three student representatives from China and Overseas China, plus a live moderator, everyone discussed several issues related to Hong Kong on the stage and expressed their opinions.
There is no winner or loser in the exchange meeting itself, everyone can talk about it, but although there is no victory or defeat on the surface, everyone knows in their hearts that this kind of thing is actually very gunpowder.
Whoever speaks well, reasonably, and convincing the audience is the strong side, and at the same time can crush the other side.
Hu Bingwen didn't even know that the media was there, but seeing that several media outlets had even set up cameras, he began to have a feeling that he had been tricked.
First of all, I didn't say that there would be media reporters present at this exchange;
Secondly, the exchange topic of the exchange meeting is very general, so it is difficult for the students on their side to prepare for it, but the host who is responsible for the question on the spot is a beautiful female student of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong, which means that the host and the exchange representative of the other side of the HKU are in the same camp, perhaps the exchange representative of the HKU side already knows what kind of topic the host will ask, and is well prepared;
In this way, once the exchange meeting starts and the smell of gunpowder is brought up, it is easy for the student representatives of China and overseas to be pressed by the other party step by step, or even caught off guard.
It's like a debate, where the other side knows exactly what topic to be debated, and only one of the most general categories is known on their side, which is too passive.
The media was present, and this matter also seemed a little ill-intentioned.
If there is a scandal on the spot, and the media reporter shoots and records the whole process on the spot, then once the video report comes out, China Overseas will immediately appear vulnerable in front of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong, which will have a great impact on the image of the school.
If you just take the first step of communication, you will lose face, and your image outside the mainland will also be greatly damaged in the future.
The Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong will undoubtedly have more face, and the best language universities and the best English majors in the mainland will be vulnerable in front of our students in the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong.
In this way, it is to step on others and elevate yourself.
Don't underestimate the desire and pursuit of fame and victory in colleges and universities, even among top universities, there will often be trouble for fame and victory.
If you don't believe it, take a look at the two top universities in Haidian District, Yanjing, one Yan University and the other Tsinghua University, the two schools fight all day long, and even the students often sneer at each other.
Harvard and Yale, two top colleges in the United States, also have students who don't like each other all day long.
Harvard students are the busiest, not only to harden Yale, but also to find time to confront each other with their neighbor MIT.
Hu Bingwen hurriedly pulled Xu Yiyang aside, told Xu Yiyang his analysis and worries, and instructed: "When we come to the stage, our side will all depend on you! In case the two of them fall into passivity, you must go all out and use your personal speaking, eloquence and strength to provoke this big beam!"
Xu Yiyang asked him: "Who will come to the stage with me?"
Hu Bingwen said: "Xu Yanan and Zhang Yibo. ”
Xu Yanan is the student president, and Zhang Yibo seems to be another senior brother.
Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "Are they all seniors?"
"Yes!" Hu Bingwen said: "Those who don't go to the senior year may not be able to pass the other side, and the three of them are all seniors!"
After speaking, Hu Bingwen said: "This senior is different from us, these four seniors have been bilingual since elementary school, the university is all-English teaching, and they have studied English for another four years, and their strength in all aspects must be stronger than our senior students, so the only key to success is on you." ”
