50. The price code is too high

Ding Jiali's judgment was right, with the broadcast of the satellite TV news interview, the names of Fangfang Counseling and Li Xiuqin quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of the magic capital.

From all walks of life, in addition to the parents of students and the education department, Li Xiuqin's actions have also attracted great attention from those Internet elites.

Li Yanhong is one of them.

In 1996, there were not many major events on the Internet, except for Zhang Chaoyang who founded Sohu, a wild Internet platform, Sohu became the first person to eat crabs, and at this time Ma Yun and Liu Qiangdong were still setting up stalls, Ding Lei worked in the Telecommunications Bureau, Zhou Hongyi worked as a programmer in Founder Group, Ma Huateng looked for business opportunities in Shenzhen, and Li Yanhong worked as a senior consultant in a company on Wall Street.

Seeing that the domestic Internet is undergoing earth-shaking changes, Li Yanhong, who works in the United States since 1995, has decided to return to China every year for inspection.

Looking at Li Xiuqin, who was talking eloquently on the TV screen, Li Yanhong couldn't help but sigh, this kid is too demonic, so young to think of the new model of online sales, of course, he sells services, although people can not predict the huge business opportunities contained in the Internet platform, but the future market share, the Internet will definitely account for more than half.

In addition to the market effect, Li Yanhong also took a fancy to the social effect of Fangfang's counseling, who does not want to establish a corporate public welfare image, to obtain the recognition of society and consumers, however, Li Xiuqin's approach is very smart, and he chooses to help poor college students as the entry point, which is naturally much more clever than those who donate money to disaster areas and sponsor poor schools.

I have to contact Li Xiuqin as soon as possible, talk about the project of Fangfang counseling, if I can become a shareholder, even if I can't buy a share, I must try to win the title of Fangfang Counseling, if Li Xiuqin is willing to give the name of Fangfang Counseling exclusive sponsorship and support to himself, it will be for his future return to China for development, lay a solid foundation of social public opinion, think about it is exciting, it is worth paying a little more.

When he called his old classmate Cai Xueya and asked about Li Xiuqin's specific situation, he never expected that Li Xiuqin actually had Qianqian's quiet listening and instant messaging projects, these two projects are the focus, Li Xiuqin planned to further develop search engines and web navigation through them, and when he knew this plan, he was immediately startled by the future Baidu boss.

With Cai Xueya's identity and experience, she will not praise a person casually, especially a young person, she said excitedly on the phone: "Old classmate, I admire your vision, if you can invest in Fangfang Counseling, the return is far more than just money." ”

The shrewd Li Yanhong immediately understood the meaning of Cai Xueya's words, his eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly: "Are you saying that the above is also paying attention to this project......

Hahaha, Cai Xueya smiled on the phone: "I didn't say anything, some things have to be understood by yourself." ”

In the face of Cai Xueya's ambiguous attitude, Li Yanhong was even more itchy, and he was more and more sure of the speculation in his heart, he couldn't wait any longer, he must meet Li Xiuqin as soon as possible to discuss cooperation and joining.

After making up his mind, Li Yanhong said with a smile: "Old classmate, I want to meet with Li Xiuqin as soon as possible, and I have you to introduce you on my behalf." ”

"It's a good thing for mutual benefit, and I'm happy to see it happen, so wait for the good news. Cai Xueya on the other end of the phone happily agreed to the request.

……

Li Xiuqin moved the office location for Fangfang Counseling and was busy, but he didn't know that in the past few days, many people in the Internet and education industries have lost sleep because of him.

There is a good applaud for Fangfang's counseling; There are those who gnash their teeth at it and curse the street; Most of the former are Internet practitioners, and they are optimistic about the novelty of online teaching, because the emergence of Fang Fangfang's tutoring has greatly enriched the content of the online platform and given them more opportunities for imagination and development. Most of the latter are high school teachers, and now high school cram schools are blooming everywhere, and Fangfang tutoring was born, and these teachers were replaced by college students all of a sudden, as if they were grabbing food directly from other people's bowls.

Li Xiuqin thought of the positive social significance of Fangfang's counseling, but did not expect its negative impact.

Li Xiuqin was very surprised when he received Cai Xueya's electric work, because in his impression, Cai Xueya has always been unsmiling and awe-inspiring, but this time she made an unprecedented joke with Li Xiuqin on the phone.

"Ah Qin, you multi-millionaire, when will you invite my sister and me to have a meal, giggle. Cai Xueya smiled happily on the phone.

Multimillionaire? Li Xiuqin was stunned, she didn't know how to answer at the time, she must have heard something, and followed casually with a smile: "Sister Cai, don't make fun of me, I'm just a poor student, I can't afford to be a multimillionaire." ”

Hahaha, Cai Xueya smiled even more happily on the phone, gasped and said: "Ah Qin, don't you pretend, okay? Do you make such a big move in the Shanghai market and treat others as blind and deaf? To tell you the truth, one of my classmates in the United States valued your Fangfang tutoring at 20 million. ”

American classmates, still valued at 20 million? Who has such a poisonous vision? Li Xiuqin was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Sister Cai, what is the name of your American classmate?"

"Li Yanhong. ”

Li Yanhong, the founder of Baidu, the largest search engine on the Chinese Internet in the future, how could he pay attention to Fangfang's tutoring project? Could it be that he ......

"Ah Qin. Cai Xueya smiled and said: "My old classmate, I want to invite you to a meal, and by the way, talk about the Internet, I don't know when you are free?"

Oh, Li Xiuqin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally figured out the purpose of Cai Xueya's call, it turned out that it was the future Baidu boss who was interested in the project in his hand, such a cow, he must meet it.

"Sister Cai, I have time to wait for you and this classmate of yours at any time. Li Xiuqin said: "But let's talk about it, and I'll have a treat then." ”

Hearing this, Cai Xueya smiled, originally thought that it would take some words, but she didn't expect Ah Qin to give herself face so much, and now she can give her old classmates a perfect answer.

But what Cai Xueya never expected was that while Li Xiuqin gave her face on the one hand, it was more because he knew that her old classmate would be the future Internet boss.

"Okay, then it's decided, tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., we'll see you at Fangfang Counseling Headquarters. Cai Xueya happily ended the call.

……

The next day, under the audio-visual education building of the School of Economics, Li Xiuqin finally met Li Yanhong, the future Internet legend, about 30, shrewd and capable, this was Li Xiuqin's first impression of him.

After Cai Xueya introduced the two sides to know each other, the two shook hands and exchanged two words, Li Yanhong directly proposed to go to the office of the website to see, in the process of visiting, Li Xiuqin asked Tan Juan to roughly introduce the operation mode and development direction of Fangfang counseling, Li Yanhong listened, nodded slightly, and did not make any comments. This made Li Xiuqin very puzzled, didn't he come to Fangfang's counseling?

In the slightly humble office, Li Yanhong picked up the tea made by Tan Juan, took a sip, and said to Li Xiuqin with a smile: "Senior Brother Li, I am very optimistic about the current situation and development ideas of Fangfang Counseling, but what I am more interested in is that the instant messaging platform and music platform you have engaged in, I heard that Qianqianjing's performance is very outstanding, and even big stars like Qi Qin and Liu Dehua have close cooperation with you." ”

I did my homework a lot, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I went straight to the point. He is worthy of being the big guy of the future. Li Xiuqin secretly praised, hehe, since you are here to talk about cooperation and are interested in my project, of course it is a good thing.

I can't waste this great opportunity in front of me, Qianqian Jingting, Fangfang counseling, instant messaging want to vigorously develop in the future, are inseparable from Baidu's drainage promotion, hehe, you don't know your future achievements, but I know very well, if this cooperation can be negotiated, be sure to add this article to the contract, in the future Baidu drainage promotion, must give priority to Qianqian Jingting and Fangfang counseling...... It would be nice if he could sponsor some office equipment for free.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuqin deliberately sighed and said, "Mr. Li, in fact, the development of Qianqian Jingting and instant messaging still faces many problems, such as the promotion and drainage of the website. ”

Hey, Li Yanhong looked at him in surprise, and said in his heart: This young man has such a long-term vision, and he actually saw the role of search engines in promoting and draining websites in advance, but he happened to have the intention of developing a search engine recently.

"Hehe, if I develop a search engine in the future, I will give priority to your website. Li Yanhong said with a smile.

"Great. Li Xiuqin was very pleasantly surprised and said: "We have more room for cooperation." ”

Li Yanhong was very surprised by this move, and he said casually, is it worth making this young man so happy? He shook his head helplessly and asked, "Senior Brother Li, what other difficulties do you have?"

Hehe, since you want to ask, then I can tell the truth, Li Xiuqin frowned, and said embarrassedly: "Qianqian Jingting and instant messaging over there, there is still a lack of some office equipment, such as: computers, supporting workstations, printers, switches, etc., ......"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, the table, chair and printer don't cost much, I can sponsor it. After speaking, Li Yanhong asked again: "The question is how many computers do you lack?"

"Uh......" Li Xiuqin pondered for a moment and said, "About eighty or ninety units." ”

As soon as the words landed, Cai Xueya's face turned red, Ah Qin, there is no such way as you to pull sponsorship, this price is too high, so many computers cost at least more than 700,000, aren't you a clear robbery?

This kid is too dark, he has taken advantage of his fancy project, and he is adding layers to himself here, Li Yanhong looked at Li Xiuqin depressedly, and had an urge to walk away.
