Chapter 33 The first meeting with Mr. Ma
Pengcheng, TX office, in a conference room with not a large space.
After Zhao Shanhe and Ma Huateng shook hands politely, they sat down.
Zhao Shanhe looked at Ma Huateng, who had a strong scholarly atmosphere in front of him, and had an extremely unreal feeling in his heart.
Less than a month after his rebirth, he sat in a conference room to discuss business with Mr. Ma, who often sat in the position of the richest man in later generations.
Although Ma Huateng is still a small person now, it will definitely be a capital that can be taken out to show off in a few years.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, I just had something to deal with, so I kept you waiting. Ma Huateng, who had just sat down opposite Zhao Shanhe, greeted Zhao Shanhe with some embarrassment.
There was some problem with the server just now, and Ma Huateng kept staring at the technical department, and waited until there was no problem before coming to see Zhao Shanhe.
As for Zhao Shanhe, according to Ma Huateng's knowledge, he has been waiting here for an hour.
Ma Huateng was afraid that Zhao Shanhe would mistakenly think that he was hanging him, so he would say hello.
Zhao Shanhe also came back to his senses and waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't have anything to do anyway." Mr. Ma, how normal it is for you to manage so many people, there are only a few of us in Xiaomi, and I sometimes feel too busy. ”
"Hehe, thank you Mr. Zhao for your understanding, let's get down to business first. I've booked a hotel, and I'll pick you up at noon. Ma Huateng smiled and continued.
Zhao Shanhe was not ambiguous, and after hearing Ma Huateng's words, he directly took out two contracts that were prepared yesterday from his briefcase and handed them to Ma Huateng: "Mr. Ma, let's see if there are any problems." If there is a problem, let's revise it again. ”
Ma Huateng took over the contract from Zhao Shanhe's hand and looked at it word by word.
The contract is such a thing, a word deviation can lead to very serious consequences, the first time to cooperate with Zhao Shanhe, Ma Huateng will not sign directly without even looking at the contract.
As for the legal department who specializes in contract matters, I'm sorry, TX doesn't have it yet.
At TX, the funds are completely used on Penguin servers and equipment, and employee salaries are only barely paid.
The department of the Ministry of Justice has little effect on TX at present, and Ma Huateng will naturally not spend money to recruit people.
Zhao Shanhe was not in a hurry, and sat there slowly waiting for Ma Huateng to read the contract.
It is a normal thing to look at the contract, and there is no question of trust or distrust.
It took about half an hour for Ma Huateng to be optimistic about the two contracts.
"Mr. Zhao, I think the payment method needs to be modified. After reading the contract, Ma Huateng looked up at Zhao Shanhe.
Hearing this, Zhao Shanhe asked, "Mr. Ma thinks the payment method needs to be changed?"
Ma Huateng pondered for a moment: "Pay in installments, one payment per quarter." ”
"No, it must be paid in a lump sum! Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it!" Zhao Shanhe refused very decisively.
This is a matter of principle, and it is impossible to make concessions.
Once a quarter, what if TX suddenly doesn't pay?
Although this is relatively unlikely, it still exists.
Even if he could file a lawsuit at that time, Zhao Shanhe was unwilling.
It doesn't take manpower or material resources to fight a lawsuit, doesn't it take time? With that time, I don't know how much I can do.
Ma Huateng saw that Zhao Shanhe's expression suddenly became serious, and his attitude was extremely resolute, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I'm also discussing with you now." Since you don't agree, then let's come up according to the contract and pay in a lump sum. ”
Ma Huateng just said that, just to test it. If it can be done, there will be more liquidity on the TX account, and if it can't be done, it makes no difference to him.
After saying this, Ma Huateng picked up the pen at hand, signed the two contracts, and then stood up: "Mr. Zhao, wait a minute, I'll go and stamp it." ”
Because he rushed over directly after dealing with the problem from the technical side, Ma Huateng did not bring the company's official seal.
This is not an agreement between two people, it is a company-to-company contract, which is naturally stamped with the official seal.
Zhao Shanhe nodded: "You are busy first, I am not in a hurry." ”
At this time, Zhao Shanhe naturally would not show an urgent posture.
Otherwise, if Ma Huateng sees it, there may be some waves.
Zhao Shanhe is the seller, and Ma Huateng is the buyer.
Yesterday, after taking a detailed look at the relevant situation of today's Internet companies, Zhao Shanhe was already anxious.
Because Ma Huateng's offer is not low.
If Ma Huateng can see that Zhao Shanhe is in a hurry, maybe Ma Huateng will not be in a hurry.
Everyone is an Internet practitioner and is well aware of the speed at which the Internet industry burns money. Now Ma Huateng doesn't know the situation of Xiaomi, if he knows, Ma Huateng is definitely not in a hurry at all.
Compared with TX to promote penguins, Xiaomi is in urgent need of capital inflow.
Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of funds, in the case of hao123 traffic getting bigger and bigger, it won't be burned for long.
The $4.4 million that TX only got last year would get more than $30 million if converted into Huaxia coins, and in less than a year, there was not much left.
This time he didn't let Zhao Shanhe wait too long, and soon Ma Huateng came back with a contract and handed it to Zhao Shanhe.
Before Zhao Shanhe came, he had already stamped the official seals on the two contracts, and the son had also signed them, so there was no need to seal and sign them again.
Looking at the bright red official seal on the last page of the contract, Zhao Shanhe put the contract into his briefcase with satisfaction.
After putting the contract away, Zhao Shanhe suddenly said to Ma Huateng: "Mr. Ma, there is something I want to ask you, I don't know if it is convenient for you to answer?"
"Mr. Zhao, you said. Ma Huateng looked at Zhao Shanhe, who was younger than him and had an honest appearance.
"To be honest, you started your business earlier than me, you are my senior, you should know very well the difficulties of our industry. I don't know if you can help me introduce the relevant personnel of IDG and see if they are interested in our Xiaomi company?" Zhao Shanhe did not hide it at all, and directly said his problem.
This is also the question that Zhao Shanhe was thinking about when he was lying on the hotel bed last night, rather than relying on Cao Yun's connections to find investors, it is better to try IDG.
After all, IDG is a professional venture capital institution, and it is much easier to tell stories to some people in Cao Yun's circle than to tell stories to them.
Interlacing is like a mountain, and it is not difficult for a group of people who are entities to invest in the Internet. Nowadays, few people who do physical enterprises invest in Internet companies.
Because in their minds, the Internet is virtual and unreal. Especially now is the time when the Internet winter is cold and the Internet bubble is extremely serious. If you want to get money out of their pockets, the difficulty is not ordinary.
As for whether he would be a little reckless, Zhao Shanhe didn't care very much.
There are not many such opportunities, and Zhao Shanhe doesn't want to miss them.
If Ma Huateng is willing to be introduced, if he can really negotiate with IDG, then Zhao Shanhe's pressure will be much less.
