From 1987, the science and technology and education circles began to try the Internet, to 1994 to successfully use the Internet, and then with the completion of the four backbone networks, to 1996, the Chinese Internet industry began to enter an active period, after the Internet bubble in the past few years, people began to rationally examine the industry, knowing that a company should not only have ideas, but also have long-term plans and goals.

One of the benefits of the Internet bubble is that people have begun to put the "profit model" and "growth" in an important position, through these two points to judge whether a company is worth investing in, Ye Dongqing in this exchange-based dinner table, clearly aware of the mainstream concept of Chinese Internet practitioners in this era, they generally believe that they can not burn money unlimitedly, and the expansion of the number of users in the first place.

Eating and talking at the wine table, Ye Dongqing is thinking about how to use the money on the cutting edge, in fact, he already has several goals, and feels that if he is given sufficient funds and provides a feasible development plan, these start-up companies that are not very good now may be able to bring some surprises to himself in the future.

In this era, there were about 31 million computers in China, and the number of Internet users was almost 80 million, which shows that the number of registered users in the hundreds of millions is full of water.

This doesn't reflect anything, the real number of people used to reflect the accurate scale of an Internet company, take Facebook as an example, the number of accounts repeatedly logged in a week is more than 60 million, this is the real high-quality enterprise, more than the number of users of QQ, but the population of the United States and some European countries is not as large as that of China, and the popularity of the Internet is quite high.

Bring money to invest, I don't plan to bring it back, other people can play angel investment, such as Sun Zhengyi, who is getting more and more valuable, Ye Dongqing is also ready to get involved in this field, it has long been planned to come to Huaxia to lay out the Internet industry, if some of the companies he has invested in support each other, maybe it can have the effect of one plus one is greater than two.

So, at this moment, he put down his chopsticks, smiled and raised his glass to tell everyone present: "Don't hide it from everyone, I am more optimistic about the development potential of this market, and I also brought a sum of money, about 500 million US dollars, if there is a suitable investment project, I can continue to come up with more money, so you can prepare a more detailed project plan, if you feel that there is an opportunity to cooperate, I can give part of the investment, to achieve a win-win situation."

If it is more successful at that time, I can also help plan to go public on the NASDAQ, Mr. Bernard Madoff, the former chairman of the NASDAQ, is an old friend of mine, he has close business dealings with me before, and he will definitely help if he can, and when the time comes, I will send you my email address, as long as you are interested, the funds will be available soon. ”

There have been venture capitalists who have come to contact them before, and every time they hold an Internet conference, venture capitalists are indispensable, and there are indeed not many people who pay attention to the Chinese Internet market, especially after the bubble bursts, but it is not absolutely nothing.

However, it is indeed rare to see a high-roller like Ye Dongqing, although they each have their own careful thoughts, they have not shown it, and everyone's expressions are quite normal.

Internet start-ups are polarized, companies like Tencent will not lack investors, especially since last year, there have been many institutions to contact with Boni, but small companies, and companies that have been listed, almost no one pays attention, the former because they have not made any outstanding achievements, caught in a kind of dead loop, no money to develop, and because they can't develop, they can't attract investors, and listed companies are because they have been squeezed once, and it is more difficult to get investment.

No matter what other people think, anyway, the three bosses of the "Big Three", Sina, NetEase, and Sohu, are very interested in Ye Dongqing's proposal, they have low profits and high investment, and they have long been in the dilemma of capital flow, some opportunities are obviously in front of them, but they can't be successfully realized, and they have decided to find a time to talk to Ye Dongqing, and when they look at each other, they guess each other's thoughts, and look at each other and smile.

Sohu's boss Zhang is more extroverted, and told Ye Dongqing at this time: "When it comes to entrepreneurship, I have a good idea, I want to make this thing in your hand, recently there is a mobile phone called PHS on the market, that thing has no signal at every turn, it feels like a big brother, it is not a mobile phone at all."

There are Nokia on the market, there are Motorola, there are products from this and South Korea, but I can't see how many domestic mobile phones, whether it is doing business, or driving a taxi, or working, who doesn't want to buy a mobile phone? The market must be very big, recently a friend talked to me, let me understand a question, why not make our own mobile phone? Just like Lenovo is doing, all the equipment, Parts can be bought for money, and I was told that it is not difficult to do, and that you can buy semi-finished products from Treasure Island, and find some people to help you assemble them and sell them, and the profit will be very good, what do you think?"

Zhang Chaolai did his homework before he came, and entrusted an old friend to help check Ye Dongqing's business, and accidentally heard that he and Jobs conspired to develop a mobile phone, and happened to be interested again, so he casually mentioned it at this moment.

He didn't know that the mobile phone that Ye Dongqing was concerned about was different from all the traditional mobile phones on the market now, and he just thought that if he could negotiate and get money from Ye Dongqing, it would mean that the business was half successful, and a few friends came from Baodao, and almost all the parts for the production of mobile phones could be bought from the semiconductor processing factory in Baodao.

Ye Dongqing heard this, nodded with interest: "This is very good, it seems that there has been a very good start, in fact, I once talked to a Chinese company about the joint development of mobile phones, but the other party refused, it is said that they are developing their own mobile phones recently, I believe it will not be long before it will be on the market." ”

Ordinary mobile phones are not difficult to do, the technology is relatively mature, it is estimated that it will take at least two years before Apple's first generation of smartphones go on the market, and it is possible to make a relatively good mobile phone brand during this period, in addition to going to engage in electric cars with Elon Musk, the mobile phone industry is also his favorite business.

When Mr. Zhang heard it, he felt that there was a play, and added: "Wait until tomorrow I call my friend over, and the three of them will talk face to face, there is no difficulty in terms of technology, the main thing is the problem of funds, and it is absolutely impossible to go wrong with you joining this business......
