A week has passed, and Zhao Shanhe, who came to the company early in the morning, looked calm, but he was worried in his heart.

Not for anything else, just because after taking down Sina's link, from last week to now, no one on Sina's side has contacted Xiaomi's side.

Judging from the data, Sina's recent visits have actually been affected.

Zhao Shanhe didn't know if Sina didn't pay attention to this, or didn't care.

The reason why Sina's link was removed is because Sina is the richest. Sina received $60 million in financing before going public, and the listing results were okay.

It's only July, and in three months, Sina is definitely rich.

But judging from the current situation, Zhao Shanhe is not as optimistic as before.

If it is only because of this, Zhao Shanhe will not be worried, the key is that the small game project proposed by Li Xinping has been launched.

Qi Qi has recruited two program apes last week and is now working in the company.

Personnel salaries, coupled with the promotion of hao123 and server costs, made Zhao Shanhe feel the pressure.

Although there are still 500,000 in the account, it is very fast to use 500,000.

Server upgrades, maintenance, and website promotion are all red bills.

The speed at which the Internet industry started burning money is unimaginable in other industries.

At present, there are still so many funds, or because Zhao Shanhe let Qi Qi selectively promote it.

If it continues like this, Zhao Shanhe will soon have no funds in his hands.

When the time comes, you will either find a bank loan, or you will have to find someone to invest.

Bank loan, Zhao Shanhe didn't think about it at all.

Today's Xiaomi company, although it has a hao123 as a façade, has no profitability.

For banks, if you want to take out a loan, the most important assessment is whether you can repay the debt.

Tell the bank how much my website will be worth in the future, and the bank will not pay attention to you. Banks are the most practical institutions, and they don't have the hard assets they look up to, and if they want to take out loans, they don't have a door.

As for finding someone to invest, Zhao Shanhe feels that it is a bit difficult.

Sohu was only listed on the 12th, and there was no skyrocketing like Sina, nor a plummeting like NetEase, everything was tepid.

It was precisely because of the tepid and unwatered that Zhao Shanhe felt even worse.

This means that it is more difficult to attract investment.

"Jingle bells. ”

Zhao Shanhe was still thinking about this, and the phone in the office suddenly rang.

"Speak?" Zhao Shanhe looked at the call, it was an internal phone from the company, from Qi Qi.

Qi Qi's voice soon came: "Mr. Zhao, just now a person claiming to be the general manager of TX called me and wanted to find you. ”

Because he wanted to save money, and the company didn't have any business now, Zhao Shanhe didn't recruit the front desk.

As for Qi Qi, naturally he even did the work at the front desk.

Every call to the company is first made to Qi Qi's landline.

Zhao Shanhe's hand holding the phone microphone couldn't help but tremble: "What did you say?"

TX General Manager, isn't that Mr. Ma?

This represents a legend.

In later generations, Zhao Shanhe's net worth of 100 million yuan is nothing in front of Mr. Ma.

Zhao Shanhe wanted to say a word to Mr. Ma, but it was impossible. Now Mr. Ma actually took the initiative to call him to find him, which made Zhao Shanhe feel unreal.

However, Zhao Shanhe immediately reacted, and the current Mr. Ma is actually like that.

TX has not yet taken off, and Mr. Ma's current status is not the status of the future.

"The general manager of TX wants to find you, do you want to turn around?" Qi Qi repeated.

"Turn it around. Zhao Shanhe calmed down and said.

"Okay. Qi Qi agreed, and then pressed the phone and began to change the line.

After the phone rang, Zhao Shanhe picked up the phone: "Hello, Mr. Ma, I am Zhao Shanhe, general manager of Xiaomi. ”

"Hello Mr. Zhao, I am the general manager of TX, Ma Huateng. Zhao Shanhe's ears rang with a hint of Cantonese accent.

Zhao Shanhe replied with a smile: "Hello Mr. Ma, I don't know what you are looking for me?"

Guangdong Province, Pengcheng, TX rented office office.

Ma Huateng looked at the picture on the computer screen in front of him and said, "That's right, Mr. Zhao, I have been paying attention to your company's hao123 recently, and I want to consult you about something." ”

You say. Zhao Shanhe replied.

Hearing Ma Huateng say that he has been paying attention to hao123 recently, Zhao Shanhe immediately felt a chill in his back.

In later generations, TX is a hegemon in the Internet industry.

How did this hegemony come about?

What is on fire, what do I do.

If you can act, then you can act. If you can't act as an agent, then buy it.

If you don't sell it, then I'll do it myself!

With a strong user base, many of TX's products are not the best, but they are definitely the most profitable.

Zhao Shanhe is afraid of this now, that is, TX is eyeing hao123.

Although the current TX is not a giant in later generations, Zhao Shanhe knows that TX got an investment last year.

That means TX should be rich now.

At least, he should be richer than him Zhao Shanhe.

"I want to advertise on hao123 to promote penguins, I don't know how much advertising money is needed in a year?" Ma Huateng's expression was slightly complicated.

Although TX Penguin is now the No. 1 user in China, like most Internet companies, TX has not yet found a way to make a profit.

Last year, TX got an investment, but now there is not much left.

Before finding the right profit model, Ma Huateng could only grit his teeth and continue to promote Penguin, first do the number of users, and continue to attract investment.

Recently, after noticing the rapid rise in hao123's traffic ranking on Alexa, Ma Huateng thought of placing ads on hao123 to continue to increase the number of penguin registrations.

"Advertisement, I don't know how much money you are going to pay?" Zhao Shanhe did not speak directly, but asked Ma Huateng rhetorically.

Zhao Shanhe wanted to start the price all over the sky, but he was afraid that Ma Huateng would be scared away directly, which would not be good.

Let's listen to Ma Huateng's budget first, and then decide how much to offer.

Zhao Shanhe is not ready to advertise now, but he didn't expect that the first one to come to the door was advertising, or Ma Huateng, the absolute boss in the future.

Zhao Shanhe, who did not make a specific offer, could only look at what Ma Huateng's budget was, and then decide whether he needed to agree.

Lack of money is lack of money, but Zhao Shanhe doesn't want to change his original intention of not wanting to advertise at the beginning for the sake of money.

Ma Huateng's expression changed suddenly, and Zhao Shanhe's words let him know that there was a difference in hao123's advertisement.

The price is high and the price is low, and the location is definitely different.

But thinking of the company's current financial situation, Ma Huateng is a little uncomfortable.

After careful consideration, Ma Huateng said, "Two hundred thousand." ”
