"Mr. Liu, you are also here. Zhou Hongyi secretly scolded Lei Jun and said with a wry smile. This guy said that he would take him to meet a friend, but he didn't expect it to be his former boss.

Frankly, Lao Zhou is now a little evasive of Liu Yun because he really can't pull down this old face.

Almost three years ago, Liu Yun injected 200 million yuan into his 360 Mall, and even some of the management of Youyou invested more or less money in 360 Mall.

Now three years have passed quietly, but the 360 mall is still not improving, and now the e-commerce market in China is as strong as a forest.

In addition to the two giants of Ali and Jingdong, Suning e-commerce and Vipshop have begun to rise one after another, while Baidu, which was favored in advance, and 360 Mall, have not improved, almost to the verge of closing their doors.

This is an extremely cruel fact, which means that in the e-commerce industry, your qualifications and connections often do not play a decisive role, and consumers will not look at the reputation, the creativity of the website, as well as the user experience, and the strength of the user, are what people care about the most.

Zhou Hongyi, a well-known investor, and another big man in the industry and his sworn enemy, Baidu founder - Li Yanhong, lost badly in the e-commerce market.

Liu Yun secretly sighed that the world is impermanent, fate is wonderful, this pair of enemies who don't look at each other are actually sinking into the sand together in the same field, is this a rumored love and killing?

Lei Jun didn't have the sigh of these two people at all, and directly pulled Zhou Hongyi to sit opposite Liu Yun.

At this moment, even for Zhou Hongyi, no matter how tormented he was, no matter how unwilling he was to see Liu Yun, he could only sit down. Even if he has a temper, he can't just brush his sleeves and leave.

"Mr. Zhou, long time no see. Are there any good investment projects recently?" Liu Yun looked at Zhou Hongyi's restless appearance and smiled slightly.

Even if 360 Mall fails, Zhou Hongyi is still a well-known angel investor in the industry.

"I invested in a few projects, but the effect is not yet visible. Lao Zhou poured a drink, a little absent-mindedly perfunctory.

"Lao Zhou, you are so restrained today, it doesn't look like you at all. With his trademark bright smile, Lei Jun couldn't help but pat Zhou Hongyi's shoulder, "Even if Mr. Liu used to be your boss, you don't need to be like this, after all, you have been leaving for three years." ”

He smiled, and then quipped, "What's more...... , with your old Zhou's character, don't you like to scold your former boss the most?

Rebus, who had drunk a lot of wine and was already flushed, had become incoherent. He obviously didn't know that Liu Yun had invested in 360 Mall.

"Isn't it just a broken 360 mall? even if it goes out of business, it's not a big deal!"

Rebus waved his hand nonchalantly and said.

After hearing this, Liu Yun couldn't help but turn dark, and scolded with a smile: "His mouth is full of drunken nonsense now, Lao Zhou or we let him draw a bet and transfer the millet to us for free, this guy will probably agree." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lei Jun seemed to be a little sober, and said, "Don't dream, don't even think about it." My millet is much more valuable than his broken 360. ”

"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry. Zhou Hongyi suddenly said something that surprised Lei Jun, "It's been three years, and the 360 mall still hasn't improved, which has disappointed you." ”

After hearing this, Lei Jun became a little more sober, and looked at Liu Yun with some surprise: "Mr. Liu, don't tell me that you have invested in 360 Mall?"

Liu Yun shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently: "Yes." Three years ago, that is, when Lao Zhou just left Youyou, I injected 200 million yuan into the 360 mall, and now it seems that it has been lost. ”

He frankly admits that failure is failure, and there is nothing to hide.

The so-called e-commerce gene, this is a very mysterious thing.

Liu Yun felt that he didn't, neither did Baidu's Li Yanhong, and there weren't many little ponies from Tencent, and now it seems that Zhou Hongyi in front of him is also a member of his generation.

In his previous life, Zhou Hongyi's 360 was also involved in e-commerce, and with the blessing of the 360 browser, it was still unknown.

At this time and space, Liu Yun once optimistically thought that he could make a desperate gamble and fight his way out of the e-commerce market without the background of a series of software products such as 360.

But the cruel reality is that he can't even do Vipshop, let alone JD.com, or Ali, Pinduoduo, which was born a few years later, Liu Yun doesn't think he has the ability to strangle it.

"Mr. Liu, I didn't expect you to have a time when you lost your eyes and failed to invest. Lei Jun took a sip of boiled water and was already much sober, "And the object of this eye is still Zhou Hongyi, a famous person in our industry." ”

He seemed to have a little more schadenfreude.

"Normal, everyone has times when they fail. ”

Liu Yun seems very open-minded about this, in fact, at the beginning of 2010, he has probably concluded that 360 Mall is the same as Baidu, and he has been cold.

He even comforted himself: in the past, his investment could be said to be exhaustive, and he hit every shot. Now that there is finally a case of investment failure, it just shows that I am also an ordinary person, and I can make mistakes.

With the investment in 360 Mall, a living example of failure, he no longer needs to deliberately invest in a failed product to hide people's eyes.

It's just a mere ...... 200 million yuan is just a small amount of money for today's Yoyo.

"Lao Zhou, have you thought about what you will do in the future, do you still want to continue to start a business?" Liu Yun was silent for a while and asked.

According to the original estimate, the short-haired, round-faced, hot-tempered middle-aged man in front of him would have a listed company with a market value of tens of billions of yuan, and now there is only one angel investor left.

The initiator of all this is Liu Yun.

"Why don't you come to my millet?" said Lei Jun with a sudden smile.

"Fuck off. Zhou Hongyi faced Liu Yun and felt guilty, so he was polite, but he was not polite to Lei Jun at all.

"Old Ray. Liu Yun took off a long tone and sighed lightly, "You said it yourself, Lao Zhou likes to shoot at his predecessor's boss." Aren't you worried that in a few years, he'll shoot at you? Don't look at me...... I'm an exception. ”

Okay, you're the exception!

Rebus gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, if a few years later, it is really bombarded that I can't get off the stage." ”

Zhou Hongyi, who was silent on the side, suddenly raised his head and said, "I still want to start a business again, if I fail again this time, then I will extinguish this idea." ”

Lei Jun glanced at him in some surprise, pursed his lips, did not interject, and did not understand that he was not suitable to interject now.

"Then ......" Liu Yun asked with a slight turn of the wine glass in his hand, "Do you have any ideas about what to do?"

Zhou Hongyi said calmly: "It's still the Internet, there are some ideas, but they are not clear. ”

Although he has failed once in his business and is notoriously hot-tempered, it is not difficult to get financing with his qualifications. It's just that these venture capital institutions are unlikely to be as rich as the first one.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"Yes, after all, I still hope that Mr. Liu can support me again. ”

"If your plan satisfies me, I can consider investing again. ”

Zhou Hongyi took a deep breath and said: "Not long ago, I met a very young entrepreneur, who is only 31 years old, but has already had several entrepreneurial experiences. Of course, Mr. Liu, you are younger and more successful than him. ”

Liu Yun smiled indifferently: "Now it's 2011, and of course entrepreneurs are getting younger and younger." You and Mr. Lei are both veterans of the Internet. People of your generation, if they didn't enter the industry more than ten years ago, are now older and less likely to come in and compete with young people. ”

This point of view, the two middle-aged uncles in front of him also nodded thoughtfully.

It is impossible for their peers of their age to have fresh blood to enter the Internet business.

Today's entrepreneurs are getting younger and younger.

Zhou Hongyi continued: "That person doesn't know if Mr. Liu knows him, his name is Wang Xin, and he once founded the school intranet and the rice network. These two ventures were considered failures. But just a few months ago, he secured a financing and then set up Meituan. ”

It turned out to be this guy.

What is not known to outsiders is that Wang Xin, this guy, looked for him more than a year ago and wanted to seek his own capital injection, but Liu Yun did not reply, which can be regarded as a polite refusal.

Liu Yun refused for two reasons: 1. Once Meituan becomes stronger, it will also increase the function of booking rooms and tickets, which is a potential huge threat to Yoyo Holiday and Qunar. 2. As soon as Liu Yun saw Wang Xin, he thought of a speech made by this guy in his previous life when he was listed on Meituan. In his opinion, this is an extremely failed pretense.

This guy actually took the time and time to thank Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, for bringing a new era of smartphones and mobile Internet.

In addition to pretending to be forced, but the unnutritious speech made Liu Yun and the vast majority of netizens feel crazy.

From a business point of view, you should be grateful to the consumers and the companies that finance it, and from a management point of view, you should be grateful to the employees and the countless delivery riders.

What's more, Android phones account for more than 80% of Meituan's users, but you don't mention it?

From another point of view, even without Jobs, the era of mobile Internet would have arrived, but it would be a year and a half late. It's not that this earth wouldn't turn without anyone.

At that time, Liu Yun was thinking, if I spend money to invest in your Meituan, and one day the company goes public, in your thank you sequence, put a Jobs who is not related to you in front of me, and then lick the Apple mobile phone again, and turn a blind eye to Android mobile phones that have also made outstanding contributions, including YOYO.

Then what am I trying to do? Why do I want to inject you capital and cheer you up? Find your Jobs to raise money!

Liu Yun said: "Lao Zhou, I know this person, and I have also paid attention to Meituan. Its model is desirable. Do you want to get involved in this industry?"

Zhou Hongyi said with some excitement: "I have studied carefully, Meituan's model is tailor-made for the mobile Internet era, and there are no too strong competitors now, I want to try." ”

Liu Yun nodded and said: "I agree with your plan, but this is your last chance, I hope you can go all out, of course, I will give you money, I will give you the channel." ”

Zhou Hongyi finally showed a moved expression, he really didn't expect Liu Yun to agree to his plan so quickly, and was willing to give him strong support.
