Masayoshi Kishimoto finished his omelet rice, paid the money, got up and walked out of the shop. He was so full that he felt a little full in his abdomen. At that time, Masayoshi Kishimoto sat still and didn't feel it. Now, as he stood up and walked, it was very distinct.

When Masayoshi Kishimoto walked into the main entrance of the headquarters building of the Hard Gold Group, he was always greeted by the front desk lady who took the initiative to get up and bowed 45 degrees respectfully, as well as the 45 degree bows of other subordinates.

As soon as the elevator door opened, if he was humble and didn't go in, then no one would take the initiative to go inside. As a result, he was basically alone in the elevator of his own company.

Yoshiichi Kishimoto appeared in the president's office. Yamada, who is the head of the secretary's office, will take the initiative to deliver a cup of freshly ground coffee in the future. She knew that this was a habit that belonged to the president.

Since Masayoshi Kishimoto ate too much in the morning, he didn't pick up his coffee and drink it as he used to. After he had finished drinking, he began to work again.

As soon as half past nine arrived, Yamada Mirai appeared in front of him again and said, "The Chinese guests have arrived. They're waiting for you in the small conference room. ”

Masayoshi Kishimoto put down what he was doing for the time being, and when he stood up, he walked outward, and went to the small conference room on this floor. Mirai Yamada is not far behind.

The appearance of Kishimoto Yoshimoto made people on both sides stand up. He walked to the central spot he had reserved and sat down. Then, one after another, everyone sat down again.

The person Kishimoto is facing is still unknown at the moment. In the future, he will make a name for himself among Internet companies in Chinese mainland.

The A in BAT was the first to be won by him. Nowadays, the person who meets with him in business is representative B, that is, Robin Li, the founder of Baidu.

Masayoshi Kishimoto is no newcomer to investment search engines. A few years ago, he personally went to Stanford University in San Francisco to study for a Ph.D. in computer science. Paige and Sergey?? Brin made a $100,000 angel investment.

Subsequently, under his personal instruction, Kiyoshi Kobayashi, who is also the head of the San Francisco office, made B and C rounds of investment in Google, which was officially established. So far, Hard Gold Group still maintains a 40% stake in Google as its largest shareholder.

Kishimoto knew in his previous life that for a considerable period of time when Baidu was first established in 2000, its search engine was basically a decoration. Even if you want to search for a popular game guide or something, you won't have any response at all.

In his opinion, no matter how Baidu boasts of independent intellectual property rights or something, everything that remains unchanged is more or less imitating Google.

Making an investment in it at the moment is a high-return decision. Baidu will inevitably become the world's second largest search engine company after Google and the largest Chinese search engine company in the future.

On the one hand, Kishimoto listened carefully to Robin Li's explanation of Baidu's business model in front of him in fluent American English, and on the other hand, he was thinking in his heart that the hard gold group company does not have an office in Beijing at present.

Once he decides to invest in Baidu, he will build a new office in Beijing. This will also be the first stronghold to exist across the north of the Yangtze River.

Masayoshi Kishimoto waited patiently until Robin Li finished speaking, and then said in American English without hurrying: "I understand what you mean."

In terms of investing in search engines, it is not the first time that our hard gold group has invested. When it comes to search engines, I've invested not only in Google, but also in Yahoo. At present, our hard gold group is still the largest shareholder of these two companies.

I can tell you here that even China's Guangzhou NetEase, which has been invested by the Hard Gold Group, has also been working on it. China, after all, is the most populous country in the world.

With such a population base, there is no good return. For your company, I can make an investment. ”

Robin Li really didn't expect to be able to get the favor of the other party when they met for the first time. Although he came with hope, he was also mentally prepared for rejection. At the same time, of course, he also understands what it means to have a lunch that is not eaten for free in the world.

Kishimoto believes that the reason why the other party will bring the core team to seek an investment is mostly because his series of investment operations in Chinese mainland have attracted strong attention from relevant Internet companies.

He first erected one index finger of his right hand, then three more fingers and said, "I am a straightforward and cheerful person." 10 million US dollars, accounting for 4% of the shares. ”

"As far as I know, your investment in Hangzhou Alibaba is $20 million, and Shanghai Shanda Network is $40 million. How come I only have 10 million dollars left here?

I find it difficult for me to accept this condition. Robin Li felt that the other party was suspicious of despising his company.

"For now, you're not the only company running search engines in Chinese mainland. That's a lot to go. I can't even count my hands. Masayoshi Kishimoto stretched out his hands and said with ten fingers.

"We at Baidu are completely different from them. We have great potential to lead the way in the Internet and revolution. Robin Li said bluntly.

"The founders of the Internet companies that asked me to invest in them almost all said that they would change the soup but not the medicine. The problem is that no one knows what the outcome will be until it is done.

Of course, whether it is an ideal or a dream, it is a very good thing for a young person. Chasing dreams does not have to be judged by success or failure.

The name of your company is nothing more than Xin Qiji's "Qingyu Case?? Yuan Xi", the crowd is looking for him thousands of times. Kishimoto said calmly.

Robin Li was immediately taken aback. He would never have imagined that the Japanese investor in front of him would have such a deep understanding of Chinese poetry and culture.

The reason why he doesn't think that the other party's subordinates told him is that his company is still like a small grain of sand in the vast sea, and it will not be noticed.

This speculation is not entirely unfounded. Before Kishimoto arrived, he and the members of his core team clearly felt what it meant to be a "big bully".

Even if others don't say anything to hurt you, you can feel the condescending arrogance of other people's multinational corporations. This does not exclude others from seeing too much.

Although there is a possibility of high returns on investment, there is also a huge risk, and it is quite possible that the bamboo basket will be empty.

His side is in demand for investment, that is, he wants money, while the other side is not owing money, but giving money. Those who owe money are uncles, let alone those who give money.
