Chapter 12: Meet Baidu

Good 123 is quite mature now, and now the top 1000 sites in China are included. These sites are grouped into categories and grouped together by purpose. Now there are a lot of click ads, website alliances, corporate websites, etc., with the increase of traffic, now the fixed advertising industry of the website is coming, and the monthly fixed income is about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Although the income of the sales department is very good, but after all, it is a person's strength, making money is still a little slow, 1-20,000 a month is still there, and it is difficult to start a business! Pay the down payment first, and then sell it when the price of the house has risen before the contract is signed, what is the difference between this and the WZ real estate speculation group back then, but it is a team to speculate on the house, and he is a person to speculate on the house, and Li Zhong has always been very repulsive in his heart.

Now Baidu search website has not appeared, how long do you have to wait to be acquired, now the good 123 website has some income, about thousands of dollars of income per day, but the original accumulation of capital is so hard. Let's go to Lao Ma and Lao Li first, now he is still looking for money everywhere, the first round of financing is estimated to have not started yet, save some money for them to invest, even if it is to buy some original shares.

The millennium is coming, new plans for the new year. Originally, the plan was to carry out real estate as the main business. But now is the most awesome time for the Internet, how can I let go of this great opportunity, although I have a certain amount of funds, but to engage in real estate development by this capital is still far from enough.

First go to Mr. Li, the company was established in January 2000, and now it is necessary to invest before he starts. Let's talk to him about cooperation first. But I don't have much money, only 400,000 yuan, so I can get together 500,000 yuan as a meeting gift. Li Zhong's first thought was Zhao Jun, although he is now a student, but one-third of the website's income is his, to persuade him to take out all the website's income and invest in Baidu, so that the two companies are tied together, two are a search website, one is a navigation website, the two websites join forces, and in the end, Zhao Jun reluctantly agreed.

The company took a few days of family leave, and rushed to Yangquan non-stop, which is Mr. Li's hometown, he doesn't know if he is not at home, at least he can get his contact information first, and finally succeeded after several twists and turns. After that, the two talked for a long time on the phone, about the development direction of China's Internet, the distribution trend of the industry, etc., and finally agreed to meet, and they were scheduled to meet in Taiyuan.

Mr. Li is really a beautiful man with a good demeanor, who has just returned from the United States and met in a hotel in Taiyuan, and the two of them hit it off at first sight.

"It's quite unexpected, I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so young and promising, I thought he was a middle-aged man?" Mr. Li said gently.

"Where, where, you are a young and promising returnee elite, and a leader in IT technology. Congratulations to hear that you're ready to make a big splash in your search for websites. I hope we can cooperate, do you know the good 123 website?"

"I heard about it before I returned to China, and after that, I saw it as soon as I went online, and I admired the name for a long time! Although this website is not high-tech, this idea is very good, and it must have a bright future!"

"What would you think if your future search site was his only search site?"

"That's great, good 123 is super popular now, and I have thought of the name of my website..."

"Wait, I have a suggestion, how about calling Baidu?

"Wow, we have such a tacit understanding, I think this is also what I think, I used to work in Silicon Valley, and I have my own search engine patent technology, so it is very advantageous to start Baidu. But there are now some search websites in China, although they are not so professional and unique, but they are all owned by large portals, my newly established company, good 123 should not use him as the only search link, right?"

"You don't have to worry about this, the webmaster of 123 is me, there is popularity here, you have technology over there, our cooperation is a match made in heaven? And my good 123 can just make up for this, and I feel that you are now in the entrepreneurial period, is there a slight shortage of funds?"

"Well, your analysis is very reasonable, I also want to do it as quickly as possible, now is the spring of China's Internet, we have to seize the opportunity. I'm ready to start operating on New Year's Day of the millennium, and the funding is okay, all of which have been negotiated with American investors, and they are ready to invest $2 million as a registered capital to register in the Cayman Islands, and in terms of technology, I have now set up a team, and now everything is basically ready. ”

"The idea of the Cayman Islands is good, a tax haven, high, I admire you so much" Li Zhong complimented, "What about me, now I only have a total of 500,000 yuan, I hope to give you a little help, I don't know much about the technology, your team must be the most professional." Good 123 is still operated by me, and as soon as Baidu came out, I used it as the only link search site. 500,000 and good 123 website link cooperation, the two of them together I account for 3% of your shares, what do you think?"

"I agree with your idea, what I need most now is money and the promotion that has just begun, and I have no way to ask for money in the United States, I originally wanted to invest myself, but this website platform has a lot of investment. But 3 percent is a bit much, you see, how about 2.5 percent? Now I don't dare to give you a clear answer, I have to negotiate with my investors in the United States, and if they don't agree, I will set aside 2.5 percent of my shares. ”
