"Brother Chao, you are right, in terms of mastery of policies and laws, who can compare to you as a Tsinghua master and MIT doctor, aren't you embarrassed for me. ”

Ma Feng accompanied the smiling face, first complimented the high-spirited Zhang Chaoyang, and made the other party feel comfortable, before he said euphemistically,

"However, whether it is rumor-mongering or privacy...... I don't know if I can ask you to give me a face, that Gu Kun had a little friendship with me before, or don't let his lace news attract attention, right? He can be regarded as half an insider. I'm also for your good, such a famous big man, if you have a privacy lawsuit, the website can't bear it. ”

Zhang Chaoyang's face changed slightly, put down his wine glass, and lit a cigar.

Ma Feng observed his words and knew that he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly came back and patted his cheek lightly: "Look at what I said, the country's current industrial policy is to fully support the development of the Internet, what is that little friction." I punished myself with three cups, what I said just now, that is, I begged for favors, I can't speak, don't take it to heart. ”

SAYING THAT, MA FENG DRANK A MAO LUMIAN THREE ZHONG PLENUM TO SHOW FACE.

This kind of drinking method did not exist before, and it was fabricated in a Hong Kong film starring Wu Zhenyu, which was more popular two years ago. In the film, Wu Zhenyu plays a nightclub owner and a bigwig in the customs industry. Therefore, many of the settings in the film were immediately imitated by domestic bar streets, nightclub discotheques, etc.

It can also be seen that in the mid-90s, the mainland was so obsessed with the lifestyle in Hong Kong films that it even had to imitate how to drink in Hong Kong films.

Seeing that Ma Feng drank ruthlessly, Zhang Chaoyang had to get on and off the stage with face, so he pushed the boat and patted him on the shoulder: "It's still the old horse who is righteous, since you give your friend a head, I should sell you a face." I've drunk too much, go to the bathroom first, you guys play. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Chaoyang drifted away, very chic.

Ma Feng hurriedly found a place to sit down again, and found a few pieces of fruit from the fruit bowl to relieve hangover.

But as soon as he ate two slices of watermelon, his mobile phone rang and a text message came in.

Ma Feng didn't take it seriously at first, and was going to calm down and look at it later. But it only took five or six seconds for him to get a taste of it.

As soon as Zhang Chaoyang went out, his mobile phone rang, could it be ......

Ma Feng was very clever, quickly wiped his hands, took out his mobile phone and went to a place where no one looked.

Sure enough, it was Zhang Chaoyang who sent him a text message.

"Don't worry about this, it was Gu Kun's people who gave me money and allowed me to spread it, don't be kind and bad to other people's affairs, delete it after reading it." If you don't believe it, Gu Kun will come to the capital in a few days, and there are a few reports, if you have face, you can ask him for verification in person. ”

Ma Feng immediately understood.

I'm a little too much today.

Since Zhang Chaoyang is doing things with money, of course his employer will not trouble him. But in this kind of gathering place for friends in the circle, he pleaded with Zhang Chaoyang in person, which was a bit self-defeating.

First of all, Zhang Chaoyang could not let other outsiders know that his portal only distributed lace after receiving money from his employer, which undermined the forced character of the portal.

Especially at tonight's cocktail party, Mr. Cao, who had just founded the new wolf network, and several of them were also there, and they were all peers. Zhang Chaoyang, as the boss of the industry, can't lose face.

Today's Internet companies are all high-tech companies with the highest technology content, and in the eyes of the people, they are all completely incomprehensible and tall, as long as the word "Internet" is thrown out, it can be convincing.

How can such a high-tech company accept the money of those petty bosses who make money from vulgar customs and business? Even if other people's wealth is 10 times and 100 times that of yours, this money cannot be collected.

It's not like ten or twenty years from now, when everyone thinks that the Internet is just a tool, that is, an infrastructure that should serve specific industries. Now I don't have this awareness, the Internet is the Internet, and it doesn't eat fireworks in the world.

Although, when Zhang Chaoyang received Gu Kun's money, his heart was actually dark. (In fact, it was given by Qian Youliang, this kind of Qian Gu Kun who is not on the stage will not give it in person)

Zhang Chaoyang's Sohu company has been open for more than half a year, and the website has been online for several months, but in fact, the revenue was still zero before. This is also the norm for Internet companies today, and everyone is psychologically prepared for at least two or three years of zero income.

Anyway, even if there is zero income, as long as there are clicks and users, the valuation can still be very high, and in history until this wave of Internet bubble in 99, in fact, investors don't care about the so-called business model and future profit direction, just stake the ground first and be blindly confident.

Now, Gu Kunke is the first customer of the real world, and by the way, he also taught Zhang Chaoyang: The real money-collecting model of the original Internet company can still be like this!

Gu Kun is the first person to give real money to domestic Internet companies to send sales.

Others also send money, but those are all venture capitalists.

"Xiao Gu's hand is amazing...... It is estimated that he just wants to use online media to help him hype. With the current people's high-end and mysterious impression of the Internet, even if only 100,000 people see the information on the Internet, it is difficult to say how much praise will be achieved in the end. ”

Ma Feng sorted out the cause and effect, sighed in his heart, and deleted Zhang Chaoyang's black text message very credibly.

Ma Feng is also a person who knows how to run the gimmick economy, and after thinking about it for a while, he has thoroughly understood Gu Kun's logic.

Today's "Internet", among the people, has the impression that it is mysterious, high-end, and can see fierce materials.

Nowadays, people will never suspect that the information on the Internet is fake news, but will feel that this is all "because it is too high-end, the print media does not want the people to know, and does not dare to report the internal reference news".

Ma Feng was pondering on the side, Zhang Chaoyang had come back from the bathroom, and nothing seemed to have happened.

Ma Feng hurriedly restrained his thinking expression, replaced it with a cheering smile, and continued to drink and tout.

He played until 12 o'clock in the evening, and under the pretext that he still had something to do, he took his leave and went back to work.

"Lao Ma, this guy is a little family, success is not hard work, it depends on talent! I want God to appreciate the food! I want God to enjoy the food! I am a monk halfway, and it is too late to work hard, I knew that this was the case, I should have studied hard and followed up the frontier of information technology back then. ”

Zhang Chaoyang, who was already half-drunk and half-awake, watched Ma Feng, a crooked and unpleasant guy, leave, and taught life experience to the younger brother and peers next to him as a successful person.

The words of the successful ones have of course attracted the echo of others:

"Yes, yes, Brother Chao is right. In a high-tech industry like the Internet, there is still a threshold, and what kind of cat and dog who studies liberal arts, after listening to a few concepts, expect to succeed by hard work, it does not exist. ”

"But there are a few people in the world who can be like your super brother Tsinghua University and MIT doctor. Lao Ma's company heard that 2 million SHEN was sold to National Telecom, which can be regarded as a good ending. I hope he takes the money and lives well. ”

......

Three days later, Gu Kun finished all the entertainment on the Hujiang side and went to Beijing to make a few reports.

The leaders of the relevant departments of education, culture and sports naturally had to meet him, and Gu Kun made a lot of high-level contacts for a while, and they were all familiar.

This is not an exaggeration, in the future, as long as you are a native of China, you can win an Olympic gold medal, and it is relatively easy to meet the provincial leaders of your province once or twice.

Of course, it is only once or twice, and the leaders of the people who turn around may forget it, after all, there are not a few people that the leaders have to meet every day.

With Gu Kun's achievements, it is also appropriate to see a few more ministers, even if he is an overseas Chinese.

While Gu Kun was making reports and making contacts there, the lace news about him spread on the Internet and other magazines and media was also further fermenting, further increasing his popularity and public admiration.

He has become an urban legend at the national level, and the upper class is talking about his encounters and conquests with those high-class celebrities in Europe and the United States.

Anyone who doubts and doesn't believe it will be looked down upon by friends in the circle, thinking that the doubter is too dirty, and then holding out the link he saw on Sohu as evidence, and justifying Gu Kun's name with eloquence.

On September 15, Gu Kun's last day in the capital,

Because there is no fixed itinerary, after returning to the hotel, Gu Kun is completely relaxed and ready to rest.

As soon as he lay down on the bed, a text message came in Gu Kun's mobile phone, and he was not in a hurry, so he picked it up and looked at it after a while.

The really urgent things are all phone calls, and most of the people who send text messages are not high enough.

However, after a little closer inspection, Gu Kun paid attention to it, it turned out that it was sent by Ma Feng, and the content was to pay him back.

In the text message, Ma Feng honestly informed that the "Huaxia Yellow Pages", which he had spent more than a year and a half years starting, had signed a contract with Huaxia Telecom and was about to sell its equity, and it would be completely completed in the fourth quarter of this year.

The money Gu Kun gave him can be regarded as a complete cash-out, so he came to return it.

Gu Kun was quite relieved to see it, at least he hadn't changed much of his history in this area, and he would be able to spend less time adjusting the butterfly effect in the future.

Ma Feng's first self-employed business can be regarded as ashore.

He thought about it, and called Ma Feng back: "You choose a place and have a drink together." ”

10 minutes later, Ma Feng rushed to the Beijing Hilton Hotel where Gu Kun was staying, and then ordered a table of dishes. Obviously, before he sent a text message to Gu Kun, he had already come to wait nearby in advance, and his posture was very low.

As soon as Gu Kun arrived and found a place to sit down, Ma Feng first handed over a small suitcase with both hands:

"Here is 400,000 yuan, and I didn't calculate more, just the interest calculated according to the private loan. I know your favor, it's not a little interest to pay off, and you can use it in the future, just ask. ”

The interest rates of the 95 and 96 banks were already high, more than ten percentage points a year, in order to lock in funds with the high interest rates of the renminbi and not flee the country. Gu Kun borrowed 300,000 yuan from Ma Feng to start a business, and it has been more than 18 months and nearly 20 months, and collecting 100,000 yuan in interest can only be regarded as a business matter.

Obviously, Ma Feng knows that this kind of high-risk loan is not something that can be paid off by paying more interest.

"If you have a heart, I know that you are a trustworthy person. Gu Kun didn't talk nonsense, he directly put the money under his hands, and he didn't want to play any sensational tricks.
