"Hello!" Henry walked up to Robin Li and greeted him with a smile, "You're Robin Li, right?"

Robin Li glanced at Henry, nodded and said, "Hello, I'm Robin Li......!"

"My name is William!" Henry smiled, briefly introduced himself, and asked, "I heard that you used to work for Infoseek in the United States, and you also invented hyperchain analysis?"

"That's right!" Robin Li replied with a nod of his head, while a pair of eyes looked at each other with a puzzled look. Obviously, the other party knows himself well.

Henry smiled faintly and said to Robin Li: "I have studied 'hyperchain analysis' before, which is one of the top search algorithms, even compared with the PageRank of Isearch!"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment!" Li Yanhong couldn't help but have a look of pride on his face when he heard this.

"When Mr. Li returns to China this time, is he planning to start his own business?" asked Henry.

"Yes, a month ago, I founded an Internet search engine company with a few partners! The name of the company is Baidu!" Robin Li explained with a smile, "The word 'Baidu' is taken from a poem in Xin Qiji's "Qingyu Case", 'I looked for him in my dream for thousands of degrees, and suddenly turned around, but the person was in the dim light'!"

"Looking for him in your dreams? Well, that's good. Baidu's name is good!" Henry nodded in praise, then paused, and asked straight to the point, "Mr. Li, does Baidu need investment?"

When Robin Li heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Are you from a venture capital company?"

"I'm an angel investor!" Henry said lightly, "How about it, Mr. Li, is Baidu willing to accept angel investment?"

"Of course I do," Robin Li said with a little excitement...... "Internet companies are very money-burning companies, and now it is the Internet winter, and there are very few venture capital institutions willing to invest in us." Apart from you, IDG is the only one willing to invest $1 million in us. ”

Henry frowned unconsciously, "Excuse me, has Baidu accepted IDG's investment?" Robin Li invented hyperchain analysis, which is considered a top talent in the industry, and he returned to China to start a business, and some venture capital companies are naturally more optimistic about him. No, not long after the company was founded, IDG was willing to invest.

"We haven't negotiated yet, we still have some disputes over equity for the time being!" Robin Li did not hide it, and said to Henry, "IDG wants 30% of Baidu's shares, and I don't agree with this! I am willing to give it 20% of the shares at most!"

Henry said, "Well, you're right. Baidu uses hyperchain analysis, in the Chinese market, no one is invincible except for Isearch!IDG wants to exchange $1 million for 30% of the shares, it is too greedy!"

Henry secretly said that it would be good to mess up IDG's investment in Baidu, so that he could occupy more shares in Baidu.

When Robin Li heard Henry's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. I've seen investors devalue the company so that they can get more shares at a cheaper price, but the person in front of me is the opposite...... For a while, Robin Li was puzzled!

Henry smiled at this time and said to Robin Li: "Look, if I invest $3 million, how many shares of Baidu are you going to give me? $1 million, are you willing to give 20% of the shares of IDG Ventures, $3 million, I don't want more, how about 51%?"

“……”

Robin Li immediately fell silent, this decision is very important, and he has to think twice! The venture capitalist controls 51 percent of the shares, which means that he completely controls the company, and the company becomes someone else's company, which is not in line with his original intention. However, Baidu is in dire need of huge funds to develop...... It may be possible to reduce the number of shares held by the other party, which may reduce the number of shares held by the other party. However, it is impossible to talk about the specific investment situation for a while. After all, this is not an occasion for negotiations, and it would be good for both sides to reach an agreement.

"Mr. William, forgive me for not being able to reply to you for the time being. You know, this matter is very important, and I need to discuss it with a few other partners!" Robin Li took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Henry, with the company's address and phone number on it, "Mr. William, if you have time, you can come to Baidu, and we will have further negotiations, what do you think?" Or, we can come to negotiate!"

Henry took the business card and looked at it, and then put it in the right pocket of his clothes, "Of course no problem, I have time tomorrow, and I will come to your company to negotiate at that time! The time is set for half past four in the afternoon, after the talk, we will have a meal together by the way!" Henry said with a smile.

"No problem, you're very welcome, I'll treat you then!" Robin Li said happily.

At this time, a middle-aged foreigner in a black suit walked over.

"Mr. Li, what are you talking about, you seem very happy! This is ......?"

Robin Li smiled at him, and then introduced to both parties: "This is Mr. Greene Gardner, the Asia Executive Director of IDG, and this is Mr. William......

Henry didn't want the people at IDG to know that he was also going to invest in Baidu, so he immediately interrupted: "Yes, my name is William, Mr. Robin Li's friend I just met! Oh, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Glyn Gardner!"

"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. William!"

Henry smiled: "Well, by the way, I saw an acquaintance, I have to go over and say hello to him, you two talk slowly!"

Henry waved his hand and said goodbye to them.

Zhou Hongyi had already seen Henry, but when he saw that he was discussing things with others, he didn't come forward to disturb.

"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect you to be here?" Henry smiled and walked in front of Zhou Hongyi.

"Yes. This is the China Internet Summit, although the scale of 3721 is very small, but it can't miss such a major event. ”

"Well, that's right. Henry smiled and asked, "Well, have you thought about all the conditions I offered?"

"Not yet. Zhou Hongyi shook his head.

"It's okay, there's still time for you to think. ”

Henry asked for a glass of champagne from the waiter and sat with Zhou Hongyi on a couch in the corner.

Zhou Hongyi asked at this time, "Mr. William, the person you chatted with just now was Robin Li, right?"

"What? don't you know?" Henry looked at him with a smile and said, "That's right, his name is indeed Robin Li!"

Zhou Hongyi said: "He is well-known in Zhongguancun, and it is said that he has developed a hyperchain analysis search algorithm, which is one of the top search algorithms even in the United States! Not long ago, he established a search engine company in Zhongguancun! It seems to be called Baidu......" After speaking, Zhou Hongyi quietly looked at Henry's expression.

3721 is an obvious competitor to Baidu.

Zhou Hongyi has to worry that Henry may not invest in 3721 if he invests in Baidu.

Henry naturally understood Zhou Hongyi's thoughts, and deliberately said in front of him: "That's right, he also invited me to visit their company!"

"Mr. William, did you agree?" Zhou Hongyi asked nervously.

"Well, I promised!"

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Hongyi's face became a little ugly. "If Mr. William invests in Baidu, what will happen to 3721?" Zhou Hongyi's computer suddenly ran like a machine running wildly, "No, I must stop him and make things worse!!"

"Mr. William," he began, "compared with Baidu, 3721 certainly has some gaps in search technology, but in terms of marketing methods, Baidu is not as good as 3721! In the Chinese market, Baidu's technology is stronger than Isearch's? Obviously, it can't! Therefore, if you want to snatch a piece of territory from Isearch, you must win by surprise!"
