Chapter IV: Cooperation
Hearing this topic, both of them were silent for a while, Li Xiaoming touched his chin, pondered for a while, and then said: "You are referring to the exchange of information between enterprises and the transaction of business, right?"
Ma's father's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, Mr. Li, have you also found the problems and business opportunities in this?"
"Yes, we are also a company after all, and we are the Internet company with the fastest information exchange, so it is not surprising to find this problem. Let's take the point card issued by our company as an example, first of all, there is a geographical restriction that cannot be broken through when choosing a publisher, and then the communication cost is extremely high, especially the time cost. In the end, we lost a lot of money because we couldn't reach more publishers in the first place. Li Xiaoming nodded and explained to Ma's father.
"Yes, I founded Huaxia Yellow Pages a few years ago for this purpose, but then we did not succeed because of the limitations of the times, and this time we feel that the domestic Internet market has enough volume to carry our ideas, so we are ready to work hard in this area and completely take down this market. We came here today to ask Mr. Li and Mr. Chen, are you interested in this?"
"We all agree with what you said, who would have thought that our registered users could reach 30 million half a year ago? We are interested in your proposal in principle, but we will not make a decision until we see your detailed proposal. Li Xiaoming said very seriously.
Li Xiaoming saw that Father Ma was so excited that he wanted to speak, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and said first: "But Father Ma, I personally have a question for you, what do you think the Internet should look like in the future?"
In later generations, both of them felt that most of the success of the people attributed the credit of the team to the individual, and this time this question, in fact, the factor of satisfying curiosity accounted for a little more.
Father Ma was silent for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "I personally feel that the attribute of the Internet is essentially the interaction of information. It should be the attitude of the Internet to enable all enterprises, units, and even individuals to obtain the information, resources and even commodities they want through the Internet. ”
"So, you're still planning to use the enterprise as a starting point?"
"Of course, domestic companies generally have a low level of awareness of the Internet, and we can benefit from it by helping them improve their online information and even facilitate transactions. ”
"What about individuals?"
"What person?" Daddy Ma obviously didn't understand.
"It's like our company's trading platform, where individuals can still make a profit. ”
"This ...... The general public doesn't have the need and the money to share their information!"
"Hehe, so how does my trading website achieve profitability?" Li Xiaoming said with a smile: "The information we share about their items is free, they can make a deal, and we only take a mere 5% in the form of a handling fee, but do you know how much turnover this 5% brought to our project last month?"
Li Xiaoming raised a hand and gestured: "7 million, a month, a full 7 million." ”
"If you want to do business in the enterprise, this must be correct, the electronic business must need the business itself as an entity to support, since you have thought that you can go to the upstream of the industrial chain, why can't the terminal be considered together?"
"I see what you mean, you mean, like eBay?"
"Yes, like eBay. ”
"But we don't have that many people and funds to support the two projects at the same time!" Daddy Ma scratched his head, this is the truth.
"Money is a bastard, and you can earn it when you spend it. However, the timing of the two projects at the same time is not yet ripe, and the current network speed greatly limits the development of Internet companies, and it will be about the same as waiting for another two years. Now you have the right idea, and we are very willing to cooperate with you. Li Xiaoming said with a smile.
"This is really good, thank you very much for Mr. Li's recognition!" Father Ma said excitedly when he heard this. After all, less than half an hour has only passed since the Dragon Entry Diagram.
"Daddy Ma, I hope that our future cooperation will not be a simple relationship between investors and enterprises, and I would prefer us to become real strategic partners. ”
"What is the difference between strategic cooperation and investment?"
"The difference is huge. To put it simply, if we only invest, we will only help you with funds, and you will have to figure out the rest. However, because we already have a relatively mature trading system, as well as new projects that are about to be launched, it will have an immeasurable impact on your company in the future. The significance of strategic cooperation lies in project cooperation, resource sharing, and hand in hand. ”
"You mean that your company is not only willing to provide financial help, but even if your company has resources that can help us, you will provide them directly?"
"Yes, Daddy Ma, that's what it means. Li Xiaoming nodded and continued: "Although your company is still only a prototype, our cooperation is actually more interested in you, and your perseverance will inevitably be rewarded." I'll tell you secretly, we can see your glory in the future, haha!"
"Mr. Li, you are joking, since your company has given us so much trust and sincerity, I think our plan will have to be revised well!" Father Ma obviously did not take Li Xiaoming's joke seriously, but seriously answered the question about cooperation.
"Hey, in these days, no one believes the truth. Li Xiaoming muttered in his heart.
After lunch together, Ma's father and his team said goodbye, and they still need to stay in Chengdu for nearly a week to discuss in detail the impact of the strategic cooperation proposed by Li Xiaoming on them and the modification plan of the business plan.
In fact, it stands to reason that since Li Xiaoming and his wife have engaged in a trading platform, it is already the form of C2C or e-commerce in the future, and because of the reason for relying on "Legend", it is very successful, but why is Li Xiaoming still willing to choose to cooperate with Ma's father?
There are several reasons for this. First, in the area of electronic payment, Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu admit that they can't withstand the pressure from traditional forces. Second, in fact, in the industry now, when it comes to connections, Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu can't catch up with Ma's father. Third, people are self-aware, if there is no system, Li Xiaoming and the others would never have come to this point. And Ma's father has laid down a vast starry sky with his own efforts.
Therefore, in this cooperation, in fact, who is stained with whose light, Li Xiaoming and the two are clear in their hearts.
What's wrong with the protagonist's aura, the protagonist's aura is not omnipotent, what rebirth once will hang the heavens and all worlds, jump out of the three realms and not in the five elements, then it's better to cultivate immortals.
In the previous life, the two of them just watched the big guy shout 666, even if others could shout 666 at them in this life, it couldn't ignore the fact that they were actually two ordinary people with limited knowledge.
……
On Saturday, December 4th, the group signed the "Longtu-Ahri Strategic Cooperation Agreement" in the Longtu conference room.
Longtu promises to provide no less than 1 billion yuan of capital investment to Ahri in the next 5 years, together with the instant messaging software resources, trading website resources, technical support, etc. that the company can provide, together with 2 billion yuan, accounting for 35% of Ahri's dividend rights and 49% voting rights, and Ahri will provide Longtu with due support for the project in the future according to future development projects.
At the same time, Longtu has the priority to lead the follow-up investment in Ahri in the future, but does not refuse to contact Ahri and other investment banks.
In fact, Li Xiaoming and the two had to do this, and they also took the initiative to put it forward, and sometimes, the help that investment banks can provide is not comparable to that of grassroots companies like them.
This move pushed the market value of Ahri's start-up to a sky-high price of 4 billion yuan, making it the largest investment case in the domestic Internet industry.
This investment, a one-time Longtu current financial almost hollowed out, even if the 20% of the initial commitment has 200 million, in a year to arrive in the account is actually still very unfavorable to the rapid development of Longtu.
If Li Xiaoming and the others don't create other revenue projects as soon as possible, it is not impossible for Ahri to suck Longtu dry.
But that's how business is done, there are risks and opportunities. What's more, the two knew what a rich return this investment would bring in the future.
