"Well, what kind of trick is a way to win?" asked Henry, taking a sip of wine, in a flat tone.

"Formal competition methods will definitely not work," Zhou Hongyi said, he stopped thinking about it, and secretly wondered whether to say the method of 3721 development, but he was worried that if he couldn't say it, it would be stolen......

Zhou Hongyi's hesitant appearance can't help but laugh, the means of playing hooligans are a good thing, and they are worth hiding. However, Henry did not expose him, but said to him with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, since it is inconvenient to say, it doesn't matter." You can rest assured, I am optimistic about the development of 3721 and am definitely willing to invest. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Hongyi's heart was relieved, but he still asked suspiciously: "So, what about Baidu? Mr. William, are you also going to plan to invest in Baidu?"

"Yes, I am willing to invest in both companies!" Henry nodded and smiled, "Hehe, Baidu and 3721 can be compared, who is more powerful!"

"Mr. William, I don't think you need to invest in Baidu at all," Zhou Hongyi said conceitedly, "Baidu is definitely not the opponent of 3721, as long as 3721 develops, Baidu is nothing! Isn't it a waste of your investment?"

Henry leaned back on the sofa and chuckled: "At present, it seems that the online real name of 3721 is not bad, and Baidu has Robin Li in charge, so their search technology is not bad." It is difficult to judge who will win and who will lose in the end. I'm casting a wide net, hehe, as long as one of your two companies can develop, I'll make money!"

When Zhou Hongyi heard this, he secretly sighed, thinking to himself, there is another strong opponent!

……

NetEase's development is actually okay, at least it can grab 10% of the market in the global online and ICQ portal monopoly.

It's just that Henry thought that Ding Lei didn't let NetEase develop well in his previous life, but went to raise pigs, which is really ridiculous.

When he was young, Ding Lei was not fat, he was very delicate, he wore a pair of glasses, and he was very literate. Treat people with easy-going attitude and no arrogance. And he made his first pot of gold by selling the email system, so he is still the largest shareholder of NetEase, with almost absolute control. It's just that it's still an Internet winter, and no Internet company is comfortable. NetEase's capital chain is very tight now. But even so, Ding Lei is still holding on. It is said that a number of venture capital companies came to the door and offered to invest, but he refused.

However, it is conceivable that these venture capital firms must have taken advantage of the fire to rob and open their mouths. Otherwise, NetEase's capital chain is tight, and it is impossible for Ding Lei not to agree to financing!

At the moment, Ding Lei was talking with an ICBC executive.

Most venture capital firms eat people without spitting out bones, squeezing the value of the company vigorously, and if the founder does not meet their wishes, they will put him out of the company without saying a word. Because of this, Ding Lei doesn't like venture capital very much. It would be better if the bank had more money to lend!

It's just that......

"Mr. Ding, ICBC will not lend money to NetEase!" the bank's executive shook his head and said, "As you know, this is the Internet winter, and more than 75% of Internet companies have gone bankrupt...... With such a big risk, how can you let the bank trust you to lend you money?"

"Zengli, NetEase's market share is not low, as a large portal website of Chinese, it has been supported by many Chinese netizens. Besides, the Internet winter is coming, and NetEase's market share is still increasing!" Ding Lei said.

"Are you making money? No, on the contrary, you're losing more and more!"

"Once the Internet winter passes, the market will get better, advertising fees will increase, and NetEase's income will come up. ”

"Yes, that's right. But can you tell me when the Internet winter will pass? Maybe one day before NetEase goes bankrupt!" I dare to assert that even if you look for all the banks in China, there will definitely not be a bank that dares to lend you money!"

Ding Lei's face was a little pale, "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you, Zeng Li!"

"Hey, Mr. Ding, I heard that there are not a few venture capital companies willing to invest in NetEase......?

"Those venture capital firms are foreign venture capital firms, and the conditions they put forward are very harsh. If I accept it, the company will be completely reduced to a foreign company!"

"As long as the company can survive, you care so much!"

……

Ding Lei happened to walk to Henry's table with a glass of red wine and sat down.

"Hi, hello, good presentation. ”

"Thank you!"

Henry stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "My name is William, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Ding Lei stretched out his hand and shook Henry's hand and said, "I am Ding Lei, the founder of NetEase, and I am also very happy to meet you!"

Henry smiled at Ding Lei, "Look at you, it seems that you have something to worry about?" Henry asked.

"Oh, sort of......"

"I might as well not say, maybe I can help. Henry smiled, "Is it because of the company's financial problems? Oh, by the way, I'm an angel investor!"

When Ding Lei heard that the other party was an angel investor, his favorability plummeted, and he thought that he was another foreign investor who wanted to take advantage of NetEase.

"NetEase is operating normally, there is no shortage of funds, thank you for your kindness!" Ding Lei did not hit the south wall and did not look back, he decided to find the bank for help first, today it was just the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China that rejected him, but he could also go to other banks, he didn't believe it, every bank would be as the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China once said, and refused to lend to NetEase. As for VC firms...... It's the last resort!

Ding Lei stood up and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Ding, this is my business card, if you want financing, please call this number!"

"Thank you!"

Ding Lei took the business card, didn't look at it, put it directly in his pocket, and then said goodbye and left.

Henry looked at his back and shook his head unconsciously.

……

Henry is also thinking about looking for Jack Ma or Pony Ma at the China Internet Summit. But they were not seen.

At this time, Ma Huateng should be preparing to establish Tencent in Shenzhen, and Ma Yun should be preparing to establish Alibaba, and he has no time to come. However, the name Alibaba, Henry has already used, and he can only use other names.

Ma Huateng didn't have much to say before starting Tencent. But Jack Ma is different, this guy's entrepreneurship is full of legends.

In 1994, at the age of 30, Jack Ma started his own business and founded Haibo Translation Agency, the first professional translation agency in Hangzhou.

In 1995, 31-year-old Jack Ma, who was "the best English in Hangzhou", was entrusted by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Communications to collect a debt in the United States. As a result, he didn't get a penny of the money, but he found a huge "treasure trove" - in Seattle, Ma Yun, who didn't know anything about computers, went to the Internet for the first time. At 10 a.m., he sent the ads online, and by 12 noon he received six emails from the United States, Germany, and Japan, saying that this was the first web page they had seen about China. Jack Ma had a flash of inspiration and realized that the Internet was a gold mine.

After returning to China, Ma Yun never forgot to establish an Internet company to collect domestic enterprise information and publish it on the Internet to the world. Mr. Ma didn't know how to code, so he invited He Yibing, a hardcore Internet technician, to work with him, and then founded the company in 1995 and named the company's website "China Yellow Pages." China's Yellow Pages are getting bigger and bigger, and Jack Ma's fame is getting louder and louder. In 1996, Hangzhou Telecom was red-eyed, so it also made yellow pages. Ma Yun's Yellow Pages registered capital is only 20,000 yuan, while Hangzhou Telecom's registered capital is 300 million. Ma Yun's China Yellow Pages obviously can't do it, and in the end it can only be annexed.

Even though this venture failed, Ma Yun became very famous because of the relationship between China's Yellow Pages, and was invited to work on the platform of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, thus making extensive foreign trade relations. This has been a huge help to him in developing Alibaba.

In this life, Jack Ma's development model is roughly the same.

……

At about 10 o'clock in the evening, Henry returned to Prince Gong's mansion. At this time, a black Toyota car was parked outside, and the mansion was brightly lit. The guard told Henry that there was a guest at home, and the other party was from the Red Cross Society of China.

Henry then came to the door of the parlor, where he heard a slightly deep voice from a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Lu, the so-called one side is in trouble, and all parties support. The land of China is suffering from the worst flood disaster in a century, countless people have been displaced, houses have been submerged, fields have been submerged, and nothing has been left. The flood is merciless, but people are merciful. You see, as the largest supermarket in China, Mingyue Supermarket should be generous and expressed?"

"What President Chan said is that this is what we should do. You can rest assured, Mingyue Supermarket is duty-bound for disaster relief operations!"

"Hehe, that's for the best. On behalf of all the affected people, I would like to thank Mingyue Supermarket and Mr. Lu. Oh, by the way, Mr. Lu, how many materials is Mingyue Supermarket going to donate?"

"If 100 million is not enough, donate 200 million, and if 200 million is not enough, donate 300 million! In short, we must not let the people in the disaster areas go hungry and freeze !!."

"Mr. Lu is really kind-hearted, the people of Chinese will not forget you! This flood in 98 has affected a wide range and a large number of people...... If Mingyue Supermarket can donate materials worth 500 million, it will solve the urgent need!"

After President Chan finished speaking, the room fell silent.

"Okay! Mingyue Supermarket will donate 500 million!"

"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Lu. However, in order to unify scheduling and allocate resources reasonably. All the items donated by Mingyue Supermarket must be handed over to our Red Cross, and I hope that Mr. Lu can cooperate!"

Suddenly, with a bang, the door to the parlor was kicked open, and a voice came in.

"With your numbness ~ paralysis !!"
