Chapter 44: Brewing the Shock Department
So, when your company was absorbed by the central enterprise Zhao'an, then you plan to withdraw from the rivers and lakes?"
Gu Kun didn't want to seem to be paying much attention to Ma Feng's recent situation, so it was completely true that while listening to Ma Feng's statement of his current situation, he chatted with him as a friend.
The Huaxia Yellow Pages created by Ma Feng will be co-opted, which Gu Kun has long expected.
On the one hand, it is the problem of the appearance of central enterprises, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to blame the direction of Ma Feng's first venture, which is too dependent on government orders and providing business information services for the national level.
In this form of business, the state does not want to hand over to the dead, and that is also very normal.
After this wave of reflection, the later generations of Ma Feng re-engaged in Ahriba, and only to a greater extent turned the target customers to serve small and medium-sized enterprises, and turned to the 2B service of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Including Ma Feng's famous sentence "We can't handle the orders of large enterprises, and we don't have a relationship and no background." Only by staring at the small corners that big companies and big businesses look down on, can we have the opportunity to be a grassroots enterprise like ours", in fact, it is not empty talk, that is the lesson that Ma Feng summed up after his first failure.
At this moment, Ma Feng can only say that he has a little primitive accumulation in his hands, but the entrepreneurial ideas are in the stage of confusion and reflection and summary, and in the face of Gu Kun's questioning, he has no safe answer, so he can only take a step and say:
"It's not enough to quit the rivers and lakes, but the equity transfer of Huaxia Yellow Pages will take a month or two, I am ready to be quiet, observe the industry situation, and then consider a new entrepreneurial direction after the New Year."
I have always insisted that the road of e-commerce is not wrong, and what needs to be adjusted is only the positioning of the target customer. As for the businesses that have been bought by Telecom now, I will come back sooner or later when the time comes. Half a step faster is a pioneer, and two or three steps faster is a martyr. ”
This passage shows that Ma Feng really has a deep understanding.
The previous setbacks cannot be blamed entirely on Ma Feng's early decision-making.
Because e-commerce is a subdivision that eats the cost of Internet infrastructure, at the beginning, only the government and large enterprises can afford it, and then it is the turn of small and medium-sized enterprises to e-commerce, and finally 2C Taobao.
It is prudent to do the right thing in the right era, or dig a pit half a step ahead of the era, grit your teeth and not let yourself starve to death before dawn.
If you are too far ahead, just like 8848 Everest Technology, which was the first to do 2C e-commerce, you have become a martyr, and 90% of the people in later generations have never heard of it.
"You've come to your senses, congratulations. Then are you still in a hurry to pay me back? I actually don't miss your money, you will be on the road again in the next year, will you have enough funds?" Gu Kun praised the other party's attitude, and then asked sideways.
With his current status, it is already very polite to ask such a question, after all, his wealth is hundreds of times more than that of Ma Feng.
Ma Feng expressed his gratitude and said euphemistically: "Enough is enough, Telecom gave me 2 million, I will pay you back 400,000, and then take out 100,000 to improve my family and repay my friends." After the year, if I figure it out, I will take 1.5 million capital and get back on the road.
If I understand the path and need funds then, I will be the first to contact you. At the beginning of last year, you took the initiative to take care of me, this vision and friendship, my brother remembers.
If you think it's okay, then invest in me. With Zhang Chaoyang's Sohu as a kanban case, how should venture capital be calculated, everyone in the circle is clear, and we will follow the rules. ”
At the beginning of last year, when Ma Feng first asked Gu Kun to borrow money to start a business, there was no venture capital in China. Gu Kun, a wealthy man in a small Nanyang country, suddenly came up with a lot of bells and whistles in the oceanic country-style financial and legal games, which is not normal, and he will be ganged up when he looks at it.
In addition, Gu Kun knew that Huaxia Yellow Pages would not last long, and there was a structural flaw from the beginning, so he was not in a hurry.
Now, Zhang Chaoyang has introduced a complete set of infrastructure such as the VIE structure and the venture capital valuation algorithm to China, and whether others adopt it or not, at least he already knows the rules of the game.
From this point of view, Zhang Chaoyang still contributes to this era and this society.
If it weren't for his status as one of the top 50 in Qingbei, Dr. MIT, and MIT's Asia-Pacific liaison to promote this matter, the rules of the game in Silicon Valley might not be accepted by the Chinese world a year or two later.
Don't blow it up, although people were arrogant, bet on the wrong treasure, and all kinds of stupid tricks declined, but its historical value Gu Kun still appreciated it very much.
So Gu Kun made a final decision: "Refreshing, since you have the bottom in your heart and know which set of rules to follow when the time comes, I won't say more, we Lan Fang will definitely be relatively backward in terms of investment innovation and financing innovation."
We just have a few stinky money, and when the time comes, we will follow the customs. Here, toast this one. When your 1.5 million start-up capital is about to run out, and you have figured out the business model, come to me at any time, and we will play according to Zhang Chaoyang's set of rules. ”
Ma Feng respectfully accompanied a cup, first did it as a respect, and even called Gu Ye to give face.
Gu Kun calculated for a while, Ma Feng's 1.5 million yuan is estimated to be burned for less than 1 year, and in the second half of next year, he will definitely find his own financing, and when the time comes, he will sit firmly in Sun Zhengyi's position in history.
Gu Kun is not greedy, he doesn't want to squeeze out the shares of the Chinese management, he just needs to get as much as possible the share of the historical chaebol, and he will be satisfied.
This is not easy, because Gu Kun's money is not forced, it is purely money, and it does not come with any resources in the circle. Under normal circumstances, Internet companies take money from the local tyrant circle because they want to be despised by their peers, thinking that they deceive laymen and those who know how to look down on them, and there must be hidden dangers.
In contrast, SoftBank's money is much higher, because it means that it can become a "brother-in-law" with other Silicon Valley high-tech companies invested by SoftBank, sharing resources and promoting each other's business.
Historically, Ahri Baba accepted SoftBank's money in the early days, and he fancied that "Yahoo is also controlled by SoftBank", wanted to rub Yahoo's traffic resources, and sold "Ahri and Yahoo are brothers-in-law, and they are two companies under the same master". Just like the rookies and Hema in later generations, the fox is a fake tiger.
So now Ma Fengken is willing to take him to play, it is already for the sake of friendship. After all, Gu Kun only has money, and he has no resources from other top peers in the circle for Ma Fenghu to fake Huwei.
After setting the tone for future cooperation, the atmosphere of the meal became more and more harmonious. Ma Feng easily asked about Gu Kun's recent rumored experience, and also touted the publicity effect of Gu Kun's bureau.
"The hand you asked Zhang Chaoyang to help you spread lace news is really amazing. During this time, the legend about your deeds in the circle should not spread too well. At first, I was stupid and went to find Zhang Chaoyang's theory, but later I realized that it was all a strategy.
In other words, the foreign girl is not particularly energetic, hehehe. It's a pity, my company is all about spreading serious business information, and I can't help, otherwise I will help you spread it for free. ”
Ma Feng is very good at being a person, helping people do things, even if he is just distracted, he doesn't do it, or he almost does bad things with good intentions, but this favor must be made clear.
It's like working overtime and getting tired, how can you not post a circle of friends for the boss to see?
Of course, it is too much to share the circle of friends directly, and people with a level should be more subtle and silent. is like Ma Feng, who held back and didn't say anything at first, and waited until he pretended to talk about something serious and drank high, and said it inadvertently, and when he said it, the focus was not on inviting merit and rewarding.
It's a pity that Gu Kun is also a human spirit, even if Ma Feng's words are not put on asking for merit and rewards, he has to hear it immediately, and make a good statement of appreciation.
"It's righteousness! If you have this thought, I will appreciate it. In fact, don't be presumptuous, if you really want to help me, I also lack the talent to manage online media.
At present, one of my subordinates has jumped to CCTV, who is responsible for the propaganda work on my side and also serves as the spokesperson. However, he doesn't understand the routines of online media.
Isn't your Huaxia Yellow Pages sold to National Telecom, if there are brothers who need to take it down and have nowhere to go, as long as you know a little bit about network marketing and publicity, I welcome it, just get a few. ”
"This thing is easy to do, I'm still worried that my people will be cleaned after the telecom takes over, and it will be difficult to settle it when the time comes, Gu Ye, you have solved another trouble for me. Ma Feng said modestly, "If you are free today, I will immediately screen it, pick one of the most capable subordinates, and let's sit down and talk about it?"
"Cheng, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I also called my spokesman, and everyone sat down and had a drink together. Gu Kun also took out his mobile phone and called Qian Youliang.
Qian Youliang followed Gu Kun to the capital, he had to deal with the external propaganda about Gu Kun, and he had to read the press releases to various media first, so Gu Kun could be on call.
Half an hour later, each side called a little brother and went to the wine party to join in.
The person called by Ma Feng is called Fu Mingde, who is the original backbone of the Yellow Pages of China, and is responsible for online copywriting and publicity in the Yellow Pages. However, this person was not one of the eighteen Arhats in history, and they parted ways after the Yellow Pages were sold.
This kind of drinking party is not a formal interview, but everyone gets to know each other, so the topic of conversation is relatively relaxed.
Gu Kun poured himself a drink, laughed a few words with everyone, and was ready to test the new Ma Zai's business ability and whether he was good at sensationalizing on the Internet, so he casually asked a question.
Of course, Gu Kun doesn't understand online copywriting marketing, but he has seen a lot of shocks in his later life, so he still knows a lot about playing gimmicks, and it is enough to take it out casually.
There were a few business magazines next to the box, Gu Kun wanted to find a topic, so he flipped through it, then picked a random photo and asked:
"Xiaofu, give you a debut title. Just this photo, let you put a note on the website, how are you going to accompany. Let's assume that the content of the photo is the owner of an Internet company, whose name is Jin Lei, who has engaged in a side business to raise pigs. ”
Gu Kun just picked a random photo, and there were pigs in the film. He had an idea, and thought of Ding Sanshi raising pigs in the later life, and was complained by many people, so he took this to test the other party's reaction speed.
