Chapter 21: Cooperation

Zhou Shi has not had much understanding of the current domestic futures market, mainly because the price of the domestic commodity market is too seriously affected by foreign countries, and it is still limited to open high and low at every turn. Unlike the external market, it can basically be said to be 24-hour trading. In the previous life, when Zhou Shi started to do domestic futures, there was already a night market, and the domestic influence on commodity prices was also increasing day by day, not as aggrieved as now.

Wang Xirui can make money in such a market, whether it is luck or ability, it is very good. From mid-November last year to the present, in addition to losing some at the beginning, Wang Xirui basically took the long order, closed the position before the Chinese New Year, and has earned more than 200,000 yuan. Compared to Zhou Shi in his previous life, he is really many times stronger. The reason for her long position is also that the global economic fundamentals have improved since the end of the Iraq war. At this time, the copper price has broken through the highest in history, and after the New Year, Wang Xirui entered the market again with confidence, thinking that he was extremely awesome, but he heard Zhou Shi's crazy record. And then......

The negotiation with Zhou Hongyi was quite smooth, and the other party wanted to invest in the Tieba company, Zhou Shi was noncommittal, but he still agreed to meet with him.

After Zhou Hongyi's rogue software and search company were sold to Yahoo, Yahoo's market share suddenly climbed to the first level in China, but it is facing Baidu's encroachment. Baidu, which is leading in technical strength, should have no problem defeating Yahoo as long as it has enough funds to maintain its own development, not to mention the broken company before Zhou Hongyi. In Zhou Shi's opinion, Sect Master Zhou's betrayal could not be more wise. An Internet company that is ahead of technology may not be successful, and it will certainly not succeed without technology. Although Ma's father doesn't understand technology, the technical talents attracted by Ali will not be smaller than Baidu, and many well-known technical geniuses have been taken over by Ali. Even Zhou Shi has to find a technical leader before he dares to officially establish the post bar.

After the two sides made an appointment on the time and place, Zhou Shi and Wang Feng went to the appointment together, the reason why there was no one else was mainly because Zhou Shi had not recognized those people, and there was no other talent who could be alone in terms of technology except Wang Feng.

The two sides exchanged a few words of greetings and sat down, and Zhou Shi took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Zhou, in fact, I am not very optimistic about our cooperation, but out of admiration for my predecessors, I don't want to refuse directly before I have really contacted." ”

Sect Leader Zhou seemed to be shocked by Zhou Shi's arrogant words, and he didn't speak for a while.

"Tieba naturally has the function of directing traffic to search engines, and I don't want to be tied to Yahoo so early. ”

"If you say that, aren't you worried that I will abandon you in a fit of anger and let others not invest in you?"

"I am very familiar with Alima's father, my business has received a lot of help from Sister Zhang Ying, do Mr. Zhou and Sister Zhang know each other?" Zhou Shi said quietly, although he left Ali, but the attention to Taobao is still indispensable, Sister Zhang, Peng Lei, Professor Zeng and several other people also often contact Zhou Shi, Taobao's customer service was also established earlier, and the role and service of credit intermediaries and dispute arbitrators were also established by Taobao. Although I don't know how the early development of Taobao was in the previous life, but the Taobao store at Zhou Shi's house, even if the clothing style was not updated, the business was still much better than last year, and Zhou Shi's parents regretted it a little and didn't want to come over, after all, now they have a net profit of 200 a day, which is really reluctant.

"It turns out that you know each other, why didn't you say it earlier, Ma Ali and I are also friends, and the next time we meet, I will have a good chat with him. "Zhou Hongyi

"I always do me a favor that week, help me greet Ma's father, since I started my business, I have never been to Hangzhou again, Sister Zhang has said that I have said several times" Zhou Shi

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, can you give us some advice. My thoughts on the future of Tieba are as follows....... "Seeing that the conversation was about to reach an impasse, Zhou Shi changed the topic and talked about the development of Tieba, and Sect Leader Zhou pushed the boat down the river and took over the topic.

I have to say that these old rivers and lakes still have a lot of experience, and their ideas are also very unique. After some words, Zhou Shi put aside his prejudices and carefully consulted about it, whether it was the positioning of the post bar, or the management of the enterprise, the source of income, etc., Zhou Shi gained a lot.

"How about it, do you need funds now?" Zhou Hongyi saw that the time was almost up, and spoke directly.

"We have been talking for so long, and Mr. Zhou should also know that the company's finance and personnel will need the help of investors, but we will not let others interfere in the company's operation and management. Even so, Mr. Zhou is willing to invest?" Zhou Shi still politely rejected him, Lao Zhou is not the kind of person who can do nothing after investing money.

"Let's talk about this cooperation first!" Zhou Hongyi smiled and did not answer

In the end, a cooperation agreement was reached with Yahoo, roughly Yahoo provided on-site search technical support for Tieba, and Tieba provided a search box to Yahoo, and then Yahoo gave Tieba sponsorship fees according to the actual effect. None of them participated in the specific negotiations, and they had to sign it in the end anyway, but the six-month deadline was also told that it was impossible. In order to obtain a source of income, Zhou Shi had no choice but to agree.

"Why don't we want Yahoo's investment?" On the way back, Wang Feng couldn't help but ask.

"What kind of company do you think Yahoo is?" Zhou Shi did not answer directly.

"Yahoo, it's supposed to be a portal, right?"

"What we need is not a portal, and do you think Zhou Hongyi can do it for a long time at Yahoo?

"What contradiction?" Wang Feng said puzzled

"Let's say we're going to open up the African market, and we buy a company in Africa, and we have someone else in charge of us there, if you're a subordinate of that African, will you be convinced or obeyed?"

"This, probably, won't it!oh~~" Wang Feng seemed to understand something

Zhou Shi didn't say anything more, the specific reason for the departure of the Zhou Sect Master in the previous life was unknown, but there must be something wrong with the strategy of the multinational company. eBay was beaten by Taobao, and Amazon could only barely survive in China, how could Zhou Shi not take it as a warning. Although cooperating with the loser can better receive the other party's inheritance, if you don't control it well, you are more likely to set yourself on fire. Zhou Shi, who is not hot enough, really doesn't want to play with fire like this.

The middle of March is also about to pass, and crude oil has been in this position for a long time, and Zhou Shi, who has no bottom in his heart, chose to close the position. 50 lots of crude oil on the securities account were directly closed at $37.6, with a profit of 255,000 and 410,000 cash in the account. There are still 100,000 funds on the Jiasheng foreign exchange account that have not been moved, and this time it is also short 90 lots at the price of $37.6, which is equivalent to locking positions on both sides.

Transferring $100,000 to the company's account again, Zhou Shi relaxed a little. After cooperating with Yahoo, the development of Tieba should be faster, and it should not be a problem to surpass Tianya. After all, this is one of the birthplaces of Internet culture, and it is the grassroots, not the elite.
