Chapter 223 A friend came from afar
On the flight from Hangzhou to Suicheng, Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu were a little uneasy, not knowing if this trip to Suicheng could achieve their goals.
The two of them have been friends for many years and are partners in their careers.
Three years ago, Zou Ming resigned from his job in the government unit, and pulled Pan Ziyu, who had just returned from the United States, to start a business together and set up a shopping website called "Maimai".
Both Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu are not network-related majors, and the reason why they started a business in this field stems from Zou Ming's business trip to the United States, where he saw a new shopping model of online shopping.
He decided that this new type of consumption would become popular, so when he returned to China, he quit his job and decided to start a business. And Pan Ziyu originally worked in an investment bank on Wall Street, and when an elderly person died in his family, he returned to China to mourn and got together with friends like Zou Ming by the way.
Then Zou Ming relied on his three-inch tongue to persuade Pan Ziyu to return to China to join his career.
In addition to Pan Ziyu, there is also a group of talented people who are also impressed by Zou Ming's ability to draw cakes, and they work together to create Maimai.com.
There are not too many shopping websites in China, but there are far more than just Maimai.com. However, under the leadership of Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu, Maimai.com has become a leader in this field in three years, with hundreds of thousands of registered users.
Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu also realized that in the future, whether they want to expand the market or defeat competitors, they need a lot of financial support. At the beginning of the establishment of Maimai.com, it was Zou Ming and his entrepreneurial team who pooled money together.
Without capital injection, Maimai.com will soon enter a bottleneck. But neither Zou Ming nor Pan Ziyu was worried about this, because it was the stage when the Internet industry was highly sought after by investors, and Pan Ziyu knew many investment bankers because of his experience working on Wall Street. According to their assumptions, as a leader in the domestic shopping website, it is not a matter of minutes to get a huge amount of development?
Just when Zou Ming was full of ambition and thought that he would be able to show his strength after getting the funds, there was a global crash in Internet technology stocks.
Not to mention Maimai.com, a small company that is still in its infancy, the four major domestic portals have all suffered great losses, and their market value has been cut in half. There are also those who have invested in network technology, and there are many people who have lost their money.
The previously sought-after Internet industry has become a hated field in the eyes of investors for a while, and Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu have gone out to find financing opportunities, but none of them have succeeded. Even those rich people who have a lot of idle funds in their hands, as soon as they heard that they were investing in Internet companies, they all shook their heads and waved their hands, and they almost let people beat Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu out.
It's not just Maimai.com, other shopping websites, and even the entire Internet industry, which seem to have entered a cold winter in an instant. In particular, those retail investors who are very easily affected by the wind and grass have sold their online stocks at low prices, which is even worse for the industry.
In Zou Ming's eyes, the only one who stands tall in this snowstorm is the Zhouguang blog.
Because it was not listed, the collapse of Internet stocks in the global financial market did not have much impact on the Zhouguang blog, and since the blog was opened up as a virtual community-type platform, the Zhouguang blog is almost a series of its own.
Especially when Soso.com and Yiwang really wanted to enter the field of blogging, but they suffered a head-on blow because of the collapse of Internet stocks, and now it is very difficult for them to even hold on to their roots, and they have no spare energy to compete with Zhouguang in the field of blogs.
As a result, Zhouguang completely dominates the territory of blogs, and there are no competitors worthy of their serious treatment.
Moreover, with its strong promotion ability, the Zhouguang blog has won the favor of many entertainment companies, from the previous song or album promotion, to now there are slowly film companies to cooperate with the Zhouguang blog.
Although in order to ensure the user's experience, the review of each promotion object is cautious, but relying only on this income, the Zhouguang blog is enough to surpass the four major portals that rely solely on page advertising to earn income.
With the expansion of the Zhouguang blog, the number of users using the blog is also increasing. It can be said that in the midst of this blizzard of the bursting of the Internet bubble, the Zhouguang blog can be said to be a unique existence in the domestic Internet industry.
And the light is slightly weaker than the Zhouguang blog, but the bird music that still attracts a lot of attention is also the same as the Zhouguang blog.
So after seeking funds to no avail, Zou Ming set his sights on the Zhouguang Blog, hoping to get the investment of the Zhouguang Blog or its parent company.
It's just that after Zou Ming got Huang Jinshu's phone number and got in touch, he found that Zhouguang Blog was not interested in his own Maimai.com. Maimai.com is the leader in online shopping in China, but it is difficult for Zou Ming not to be arrogant in Huang Jin's written premise.
After all, according to the scale, development prospects, and healthy and stable profitability of the Zhouguang Blog, if it goes public, even if the bubble component is removed, the Zhouguang Blog may be able to obtain an appraised market value of 500 million to 600 million US dollars.
In the face of such a behemoth, Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu really couldn't be proud. But neither of them is a person who gives up easily, she has been grinding Huang Jinshu for nearly a month, and the conditions have dropped again and again, but she has never let go.
Two days ago, Zhouguang Blog finally sent them an invitation to come to Suicheng to discuss related investment matters.
When receiving a call from Zhouguang Blog, Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu, who were quite tenacious in their personalities, both had the urge to hug their heads and cry.
They are in need of funds so much, not to mention further development, just to survive the cold winter of the Internet, they are inseparable from the support of funds. So as soon as they received a call from the Zhouguang Blog, they immediately booked a ticket and hurried to Suicheng.
At Suicheng International Airport, Fang Tianyu, who had made a simple cover up about his appearance, was waiting with Huang Jinshu in the terminal building.
Huang Jinshu is still so heroic, wearing a women's suit, the long trousers make her very tall, plus a pair of arrogant high heels, a proper domineering president fan.
"How about it, my lady president, are you still used to doing it in your new position?" Feeling the aura of satisfaction in this woman, Fang Tianwu couldn't help but smile.
Under the management of Huang Jinshu and Gou Fugui, the development of Zhouguang Blog has been very stable in these days, especially after Soso.com and Yiwang have withdrawn from the blog field, Zhouguang Blog can hardly find an opponent.
However, Gou Fugui has nothing to find fault with in technological development, and he does not have the talent for enterprise management.
On the contrary, Huang Jinshu has performed exceptionally well in leading his marketing team to expand the market from the very beginning, and Huang Jinshu is also responsible for all large-scale business cooperation. So recently, Fang Tianwu finally made her the CEO of the Zhouguang Blog, that is, the CEO, responsible for overseeing the operation of the Zhouguang Blog.
As for Gou Fugui, he still serves as the technical director of Zhouguang Blog.
This time, Huang Jinshu's promotion, no one in the Zhouguang blog was unconvinced. After all, Huang Jinshu's ability is very outstanding, and she has a strong style and sharp hands, except for Fang Tianwu in the company, only Gou Fugui can barely talk to her on an equal footing.
Huang Jinshu is very satisfied with Fang Tianyu's knowledge of current affairs, and Zhouguang Blog, an upstart of the domestic Internet, has poured a lot of effort into her.
Thinking that Huang Jinshu joined at the beginning, it was because she was angry with Fang Tianyu, thinking that after Fang Tianyu's entrepreneurial project was inseparable from her, she waved her sleeves and walked away, making Fang Tianwu cry by herself.
It's just that now, on the contrary, she can't do without the Zhouguang blog. I believe that even if Fang Tianhu's broom drives her away, she won't leave.
I don't know if it's out of Fang Tianhu's bad taste, Huang Jinshu said that he could get a salary according to the minimum per capita wage in Suicheng in order to join his project at that time, and then Fang Tianwu really paid her according to this minimum standard.
It wasn't until she became the president of Zhouguang Blog that the salary was paid according to the standard that it should be.
Huang Jinshu has a strong authority in the Zhouguang blog, but she doesn't dare to go against Fang Tianyu, because she knows Fang Tianhu's style and is sometimes unreasonable. Therefore, before becoming the president, Huang Jinshu did not dare to complain to Fang Tianyu about the pitiful monthly salary that was completely incommensurate with her ability.
Although Huang Jinshu has always been in charge of the external affairs of Zhouguang Blog, and in the eyes of many partners, she is the representative of Zhouguang Blog, but without the legitimate title of CEO for a day, Huang Jinshu will not be comfortable for a day.
Now that it's okay, Huang Jinshu's mood is simply clear every day.
"You can't afford to pay for the shares you promised me!" Huang Jinshu said to Fang Tianhu.
Zhouguang Company is Fang Tianyu's sole proprietorship, and its Zhouguang Blog also has a small shareholder, Gou Fugui. Although the Zhouguang blog was needed for development, Fang Tianwu successively invested a large amount of money in it, which diluted Gou Fugui's shares. But as the first hero to follow behind Fang Tianyu, Gou Fugui still owns nearly two percent of the shares of Zhouguang Blog.
While appointing Wong Kam Shu as chief executive officer, Fong also promised to share 3 percent of his share as an incentive for Wong Kam Shu.
The company is not listed, so there is no precise valuation, but according to industry estimates, if the company goes public, it can get at least $600 million to $700 million in valuation.
This is compared to the first of the four major portals, after the crash, the market value of Soso.com has plummeted from more than $1 billion at the peak to less than $200 million today.
The volume of Zhouguang Blog has gradually approached the four major portals, and the profit channels are more stable and practical than them, so the valuation of six or seven billion US dollars is still conservative.
In other words, the shares in the hands of Huang Jinshu and Gou Fugui are worth tens of millions of dollars.
Fang Tianwu smiled at Huang Jinshu and said, "Don't worry, I won't rely on your account." Hey, she's out. ”
Huang Jinshu hurriedly looked at the exit, and saw a beautiful woman with a beautiful figure and outstanding temperament walking out, it was Fu Fangchen.
