The Isearch brand has become well-known all over the world and adheres to the principle of "not doing evil", so it is difficult for Henry to get Isearch to help the Chinese government control public opinion.

But Henry can't let go of the Chinese market, so he thinks about it, but he can't do it, so he secretly controls other search companies.

At present, 3721 is an opportunity, the competition in China's Internet market is disorderly and chaotic, 3721 has Zhou Hongyi, it is certain to play hooligan, and therefore, 3721 will definitely stand out!

"The scale is not too large, but you are a start-up, so it's okay......" Henry asked Zhou Hongyi at this time, "Has 3721 Company received investment from other venture capital institutions before?"

Zhou Hongyi shook his head, "No!"

"Well, how much are you going to finance?" asked Henry.

"$1,000,000!"

Zhou Hongyi looked at Henry with hopeful eyes, Henry smiled and nodded, "$1 million is no problem, but how many shares are you going to take out?"

Zhou Hongyi had obviously thought about it, and replied directly: "20% ......"

"Mr. Zhou, I can invest $2.5 million in 3721 Company, but I want 40% of the shares! If there is a financing plan in the future, I will lead the investment and invite multiple companies to participate!" Henry asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhou Hongyi, what do you think?"

Zhou Hongyi frowned, the other party's shares were too high, 40% could almost control 3721 Company, this requirement was really embarrassing for him. On the one hand, with this investment, 3721 will be able to make great strides, and on the other hand, he will be in danger of losing the company, and there are many examples of founders being kicked out by investors......

The café here is also quite upscale, and there is a young beautiful woman playing a melodious violin next to it. Henry picked up the coffee cup and drank it slowly, Lu Zhishan glanced at him, and the two smiled tacitly.

After a minute or two, Zhou Hongyi raised his head and looked at Henry, "Mr. William, may I think about it for a few days?" he pleaded.

Henry thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll give you three days." In three days, I will leave China!"

"Thank you, Mr. William!" Zhou Hongyi said with a happy face.

At this time, Henry casually tore off a sticky note from the table, and then wrote down a mobile phone number, "I've thought of calling me." With that, Henry handed the sticky note to Zhou Hongyi. Zhou Hongyi carefully put the sticky note paper into his jacket pocket, and then said goodbye to Henry and Lu Zhishan.

Lu Zhishan looked at Zhou Hongyi's departing back and said to Henry: "It can be seen that he has a strong desire to control 3721, and it is not easy for you to get 40% of the shares." But why invest in such a small company when you already have an Isearch company?"

"Any company goes from small to big. 3721 Company may pose a threat to Isearch, so the best way is to invest in the acquisition of it and completely kill the possible threat!" Henry said with a smile, "2.5 million US dollars is not enough for Internet companies, and 3721 Company will definitely have a second and third round of financing! When the time comes, I will organize several companies to work together to get the absolute controlling stake in the entire 3721 Company." In the end, even if 3721 develops, it is still making money for me!"

Lu Zhishan nodded, "That makes sense." However, within three days, he should go to other VC firms for help!"

"It's okay! Before accepting other VCs, he will definitely talk to me again, and it's a big deal to invest in him a little more. Henry smiled confidently, "3721 Company, I'm sure of it!"

Lu Zhishan suddenly thought of something, and said to Henry: "Oh, by the way, I heard that Beijing Zhongguancun will hold the 'China Internet Summit' tonight, and most of China's Internet companies will send people to participate, I think, you should be very interested...... As for the specific address, just ask someone to find out. ”

"China Internet Summit?" muttered Henry, thinking to himself, that this would indeed be a good opportunity to reach out to more Chinese Internet companies. The Chinese government can block foreign websites, but domestic websites should not be blocked as well. Henry grinned and secretly bought all the promising Internet companies in China, isn't it the same!

The major shareholders of the BAT Big Three are all foreign companies, so Henry has every chance to secretly complete absolute control! The founders of China's Internet companies can be reduced to a puppet and be ousted if they do not obey.

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Beijing Jade Palace Hotel, a newly built 5-star hotel, is located at No. 76 Zhichun Road, Haidian District, Beijing. With its luxurious interior decoration, luxurious environment, complete facilities, warm service and advantageous geographical location, the hotel has become the preferred business hotel for IT people in Zhongguancun area. Therefore, the China Internet Summit is also held here.

This time, Henry came with only bodyguards. The invitation was obtained by Lu Zhishan for Henry.

At the moment, the hotel is crowded.

Some leaders of Zhongguancun had already spoken on the stage, and they were talking a lot of words, all praising the development of China's Internet, and Henry was almost drowsy when he listened.

After the leaders finished speaking, they invited some CEOs of representative companies to speak on stage.

The first to be invited to the stage was Ding Lei, the founder of NetEase.

NetEase was founded early in 1997 and is headquartered in Guangzhou. NetEase is the third Chinese portal after Global Online and ICQ portals, with a market share of 15%. Now, because of the influence of the Henry butterfly effect, the dot-com bubble is ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, NetEase was founded at the time when the Internet bubble burst, so NetEase's development was very difficult, and no one was willing to invest.

The 3721 created by Zhou Hongyi was also seriously affected in this environment. Otherwise, Zhou Hongyi would not have broken his leg and walked out of the venture capital company. In my previous life, as long as I had a good project and then found a venture capital institution, it was basically easy to get the first amount of money.

At present, venture capital institutions are very cautious and will definitely not invest in Internet companies easily.

Henry took a glass of wine on the table and watched the others as he sipped it.

There are really a lot of familiar faces, and to Henry's surprise, Zhou Hongyi is also there. At the same time, Henry also saw Baidu founder Robin Li!

Baidu is famous, one of the three giants of BAT. In the past life, people often compared Google to Baidu, many years ago, the two companies established search companies around the same time, and both became industry giants. However, one is desperately selling fake drug advertisements, and the other is desperately climbing high-tech, and the development of the two is completely different......

Robin Li said that Google is a dream company, while Baidu is a pragmatic company!

So, what kind of company is a pragmatic company in Robin Li's eyes? In fact, it is very simple, it is a company that makes money!

To make money is to be pragmatic!

In order to be able to make money, Baidu can do everything to the extreme.

Henry originally thought that Robin Li was still in the United States, because he remembered that Baidu was founded in 1999.

Robin Li invented hyperlink analysis in 1996, that is, to evaluate the quality of linked websites by analyzing the number of linked websites, which ensures that the more popular content users search for, the higher the ranking. And this is one of Baidu's core technologies in the future.

Isearch searches use Google's technical PageRank. PageRank determines the rank of a page through the vast hyperlink relationship of the Internet, and the higher the rank, the website will naturally rank first.

Both hyperlink analysis and PageRank are algorithms for page ranking.

Robin Li was so talented that he was later invited to work at Infoseek, a well-known search engine company in Silicon Valley.

But he was a very ambitious and controlling man, and he returned to China every year for inspections. Once he feels that China's environment is ripe, he will immediately return to China to start a business. Today, China's Internet is developing faster than in previous generations. Perhaps, he felt that the time was ripe and returned to China ahead of schedule to start a business.

Henry drank the wine, put down the glass, looked at Robin Li, and walked towards him......
