Lee always has some regrets.

He remembered this leisurely young boss, a guy with a very poisonous mouth and a man who liked to repay his eyes.

Listening to Liu Yun's tone, this guy is probably not confident in the mobile phone business, just like he has no expectations for the e-commerce website.

But just like Baidu will still bite the bullet and run the e-commerce website "Baidu Youah" for a period of time until he is completely dead, so he will bewitch Liu Yun to continue to spend money on the mobile phone business.

Mr. Li always needs to have a person who has the same fate. Especially if this person happens to be Liu Yun, who is in the limelight on the Internet in China today, it would be even better.

However, Liu Yun's counterattack was sharp enough, knowing that Lao Li didn't want to mention the e-commerce website, he actually pretended to be ignorant and sarcastic in a way that praised and depreciated.

For a while, it was difficult for Lao Li to parry.

This kid is vicious.

He first praised Baidu to the sky, and then expressed his disdain for Zhou Hongyi, and swore that how could 360 Mall be comparable to Baidu's e-commerce website, it must be Zhou Hongyi's guy who is bragging and firing guns.

As for the facts, the two know very well that in this battle, Baidu's "Yes" lost miserably.

Lao Li knew that he didn't want to please him in his words, so he had to pouted and said: "Mr. Liu, in the area of e-commerce, even if our Baidu is not ideal, we will grit our teeth and persist for a few days, and maybe there will be a turnaround!"

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Yoyo will continue to stick to the mobile phone business." Mr. Li, in view of the deep relationship between Yoyo and Baidu, why don't we agree. Together, we all stick to an unfamiliar territory and keep moving forward and retreating together. ”

Lao Li was slightly stunned, this kid is excited to come, and wants to compare, whether Baidu has persisted in e-commerce for a long time, or Youyou has persisted in mobile phones for a longer time.

His arrogance rose suddenly, and he said, "Mr. Liu, why don't we take a gamble?"

Liu Yun adjusted his sitting posture and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, how do you say to bet?"

Lao Li thought for a while and said: "You and I are identities, gambling money is meaningless, but the stakes can't be small, I'll think about it first." ”

Liu Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Li, why don't we play a big one?"

"How to play?"

"It's very simple, I'm betting on the right to operate World of Warcraft for one year, and if Baidu wins, the right to operate the game in the next year will be owned by Baidu, after deducting costs. How much profit this game can make in a year, Mr. Li should know it in his heart. ”

After Lao Li heard this, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, this bet is very heartfelt, and the chips are also big.

The right to operate "World of Warcraft" for one year. After the release of the 70-level expansion, the game continued to climb in popularity and set new highs in profit.

Even from the most conservative point of view, the game's profit in 2008 will inevitably exceed 1.5 billion yuan.

According to Lao Li's estimate, it is estimated that it will take two years to decide the winner of this gamble, and then this game will be updated with the continuous update of the follow-up expansion, and the annual profit may reach 2 billion.

"Mr. Li, my bet is very sincere. I believe that in five years, there will not be a game in the world that can replace Warcraft. What's more, those foreign game masterpieces often appear to be not bright in the East and bright in the West. Warcraft is the only exception. ”

At least so far, only Warcraft has done it in online games - East and West, two blossoms.

After hearing this, Mr. Li frowned, and his heart was tormented.

He mentioned the gamble, and he had already put out the chips, and now it was his turn to hesitate. He loves face, and it is impossible to quit the game he proposed, but the other party has such a big chip, what can he do?

The game means that the chips are evenly matched and cannot be too low. Lao Li thought, what should he come out of?

Today, the Internet has ushered in a golden age. The wealth of some bigwigs has also risen, so they like to engage in a gambling game at every turn to show their pattern and courage.

Ali's old horse, for example, is very keen on this.

Robin Li is no exception, he feels that the timely gamble has a motivating effect, which can spur him in time and space.

"Mr. Liu, my bet is on Baidu Tieba's operation rights for one year and all profits. Tieba has already started commercialization, and I'm sure it won't be less profitable than your World of Warcraft. ”

After hearing this, Liu Yun did not reply immediately, but leaned back in the chair, holding the cup in one hand, taking a sip from time to time, and fell into deep thought.

He never doubted the huge benefits that Tieba could generate.

The greater the traffic, the easier it is to attract money from funders.

It's a pity that one year of operation rights can't change Baidu's operation strategy, and now Youyou has passed the period of taking risks to make money. He wants to avoid that in a few years, once the storm of public opinion breaks out, Yoyo can completely stay out of the matter.

Many times, once a crisis erupts, it is difficult to transfer it according to your personal wishes, and the public is not willing to believe your explanations.

If Baidu is justified in saying that after Tieba was bought out by the hospital, their outsourcing behavior has nothing to do with the company.

Angry and slanderous members of the public will also cite examples to refute: 1. The patient did obtain medical information from Baidu Tieba. 2. Baidu did get huge economic benefits after selling medical stickers.

So you can't get rid of the relationship at all, and in layman's terms, how can you make money from it without having to bear a little responsibility.

Liu Yun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't need the operation rights and revenue of Tieba, and I'm not optimistic about its future." Tieba and Weibo are two different concepts. ”

The tone of his speech was very resolute, but it was a little beyond Lao Li's imagination.

"I thought he would accept it. Mr. Li pursed his lips with some dissatisfaction, obviously Liu Yun bluntly said that he was not optimistic about the future of Tieba, and his heart couldn't accept it for a while, "You wait, when Tieba creates huge economic value, you regret it." ”

"What conditions does Mr. Liu want?"

"Let me think about it......" Liu Yun replied lightly.

He squinted his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and then spoke: "The conditions are a bit complicated, I'll say it carefully."

1. All products of Yoyo need to be ranked first in the bidding ranking in Baidu's fuzzy word search, but there is no need to pay any fees, which lasts for 3 years.

2. Once Yoyo has a video website in the future, Baidu's video link can only point to Yoyo's video website, which lasts for 3 years. ”

Mr. Li was silent, this asking price is not low, nor too high, and even only needs to make some technical adjustments, but no one can predict the changes in the next three years.

But he will not give up his immediate benefits for an unknown future.

After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Li agreed to the gamble.

This is an interesting gamble, both Liu Yun and Mr. Li think so.

Since Baidu has a part of the equity of Yoyo Music, the two have made a simple plan for the future of this product.

Lao Li has a supportive attitude towards Yoyo's idea of monopolizing the online music market.

"I'm also very supportive of the idea of a Yoyo Music Festival. You and I can use the Internet to get the right to speak in the Chinese music scene, and we don't always have to look at the faces of Hong Kong and Taiwan. ”

"As long as the Yoyo Music Festival can bring exposure and economic benefits, the significance of the Golden Melody Award will be reduced. What's more, there are no powerful Internet companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so we can make our own rules. ”

Liu Yun actually had another idea, so he said: "Mr. Li, Yoyo Music was established in 2005, and in addition to you and me, there was also Haidie, right." ”

Mr. Li nodded.

Now, three years later, the gap between the three companies is very different.

"How about we split the shares of Sea Butterflies equally? This company doesn't mean much to us anymore. ”

"No problem! We can even buy Haidie to increase our voice in the entertainment industry. This time, Mr. Li replied very simply.

The shopping mall is so cruel, and the weak company has no say at all. The two men decided the fate of the company without asking Haidie's opinion.

Ridicule is ridicule, and gambling is also gambling contract. But both Yoyo and Baidu realized that if they want to continue to expand their business, they can't do without cooperation with each other.

The purpose of Liu Yun's trip has been accomplished, and he realized that Baidu is his best partner between BAT, even if he tries to separate Yoyo and Baidu Tieba, it will not affect Yoyo and Baidu in other aspects of cooperation.

Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei, after all, are the potential biggest competitors in his heart, and even if they cooperate, it will only be temporary.

And Baidu, a company destined to fall behind, makes Liu Yun less worried when he cooperates, and he doesn't need to worry about the company's backlash.

If a few years later, the cooperation between Yoyo and Baidu allows the other party to occupy the initiative or even the dominant position, it can only show that they are not capable enough, and they can only accept their fate and blame others.

You can't even put Baidu on the table, and you still expect to deal with Alibaba, Tencent, or even Huawei?

Liu Yun walked out of Baidu's office building, looked back at the high-rise building, and couldn't help but recall a sentence that Mr. Li said in his previous life: he didn't realize what was different from the mobile Internet in the early days, and he felt that it was similar to the PC Internet era, and he didn't pay enough attention to it, which led to falling behind in the competition of BAT.

History can't assume that even if they really pay attention to it, it is still a high probability event that they are left behind by Ali and Tencent in the end.

Although this is a bit self-consoling, at least Yoyo must not make similar mistakes today.

……

Not long after Liu Yun got in the car, he received a call from Wu Qiang.

It turned out that the fact that this guy was recruiting talents in Zhongguancun met Liu Qiaodong, the founder of Jingdong Company.

Today, there is very little connection between Yoyo and JD.com, and the only intersection is that both companies have invested in 360 Mall.

Jingdong and the brother behind him who doesn't know his wife and beauty can only be regarded as well-known now, far from being well-known a few years later. He had just ended his first marriage, and the company's development had also encountered a bottleneck, so he had to focus all his energy on the company's development.

Liu Yun remembered that Zhou Hongyi, who has always liked to fight the sky and the earth, actually had a very good relationship with Liu Qidong.

So when he found Liu Yun, he also borrowed the common topic of 360 Mall, hoping to meet him.

Should I see it?

This is the question in Liu Yun's heart.

Wu Qiang, who was on the other end of the phone, suggested that he meet him, after all, JD.com is also a big company in the industry.

Even if this big guy was beautiful in his previous life, he was still enough to attract Liu Yun's attention now.

As for what will happen to that Dong Ge in the future, and whether he will follow the original trajectory and embark on the peak of his life, it is not his turn to care.

Now, he has enough things in his hands that bothers him.

"Manager Wu, what do you think is the matter with this Jingdong Mr. Liu looking for me?" asked Liu Yun.

"It's probably financing. Wu Qiang replied, "I think this Mr. Liu has the ability." Mr. Liu, you can make a decision after you meet. ”

"I see. Liu Yun thought for a while and said, "Make an appointment to meet, I think about it tomorrow, after all, I can't stay in Yanjing for too long." ”

Almost next year, Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital will invest $300 million in JD.com, and after a few years, he will get several times the return.

Immediately afterwards, Tencent will also bring a large amount of real money to invest in JD.com, and even bundle all its e-commerce industries to JD.com.

From an investment point of view, JD is indeed a good investment object, but there are a lot of places where the money in his hand needs to be used, and many projects have a return value even higher than JD.com in his eyes.

What's more, the Huaxia Internet in this time and space has been stirred up beyond sight by him, and it is unknown whether that Dongge can rise according to the original trajectory.

For example, Tencent in this time and space, under the interference of Liu Yun's best efforts, will definitely not be as powerful as in the previous life, and it is impossible to predict whether they will have spare money to invest in JD.com.

"How's the recruitment going?" Liu Yun changed the subject, not continuing on the original question.

"It's not bad, a lot of talents in software and hardware have shown strong interest, and of course, the attractiveness of Shanghai is no less than that of Yanjing. Wu Qiang replied.

In order to attract talents from all over the country and even the world, Liu Yun also chose the address of Youyou Terminal Equipment Co., Ltd. in the high-tech park of Shanghai.

His plan is to build his own Youyou empire along the three lines of Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningjiang, and the layout of the city is equally important.

Ningjiang is Yoyo Games, Yoyo Technology, Times Jiangnan, Hangcheng is the R&D base of Youxin, and Shanghai is Yoyo Holiday Network and mobile phone companies.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yun closed his eyes slightly, thinking about meeting Liu Qidong.

This is a guy with a strong desire to control, and he didn't expect Yoyo to control JD.com through capital injection, not to mention that he didn't have the energy.

So what should be done to bring benefits to Yoyo?
