Chapter 404: Departure
Five crossings, carving time.
It is a perennial coffee shop with stylish decoration and a prosperous location, which is very popular with students in the surrounding area.
Fortunately, it was morning, and during the summer vacation, there was no one in the café, so Chen Qiaoshan took Yan Xiaoqin straight up to the third floor.
Not only did I come to see Chen Yizhou today, but later yesterday, Wang Gongquan also took the initiative to contact and wanted to meet and talk, but Chen Qiaoshan didn't refuse, and made an appointment here, but postponed the time.
Yan Xiaoqin flipped through the coffee list and asked, "Garlic tuna noodles and tomato sauce noodles, what do you eat?"
Chen Qiaoshan was busy revising the plan of the stationmaster meeting last night, and he was busy until the second half of the night, and he didn't even bother with breakfast at this time, "If you really want me to choose, it must be braised pork, and Dongpo elbow is also fine." ”
The waitress on the side couldn't laugh out loud, Yan Xiaoqin had no way to deal with him, "The cat pouncer is coming soon, you don't have time to fill your stomach yet." ”
"Then have a tuna noodle. "Chen Qiaoshan is a carnivore, which is very similar to Xiao Wu.
When the waiter brought the noodles to them, the aroma was immediately filled.
Yan Xiaoqin said: "It's so fragrant, what is tuna, why haven't you heard of it?"
"It's tuna, Tuna, transliterated, Hong Kong and Taiwan like to translate it like that. Chen Qiaoshan explained, picked up another piece of fish and said, "You taste it." ”
Yan Xiaoqin was not polite, and tasted the taste: "It's a bit chicken." ”
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Europeans and Americans call this thing sea chicken, but here in Asia, they call grouper sea chicken." ”
The cook's skills are good, but the amount is a little less, this is Chen Qiaoshan's biggest grudge against Western food, or is it enjoyable to eat meat in large pieces, except for Lao Maozi's Western food.
"Chen Xi called me last night. ”
Chen Qiaoshan picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked, "I suspect that you two are sisters, she hasn't called me for several days." ”
Yan Xiaoqin said proudly: "That's, we can talk." ”
Chen Qiaoshan glanced at her, after a year of college life, Yan Xiaoqin's original youth has gradually faded, and her body has grown, but her curves are fully displayed, it is the age of wanton youth, which is very attractive to people's attention.
Seeing his eyes wandering and staring at him, Yan Xiaoqin was secretly happy in his heart, but he still gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "What do you look at, my eyes will look at you again, and I won't clean you up." It's a pity that there is no deterrent in the words, but the coquettishness is fully displayed, adding a little flattery.
Chen Qiaoshan smiled, after all, it was a public place, and he still paid attention to his image, "Xiao Wu didn't call you?"
"How not. Yan Xiaoqin said with a smile: "One phone call a day, all of them are to inquire when you will go home." ”
Thinking of Xiao Wu, Chen Qiaoshan is also scratching his head, they are all born by a mother, the third and the fourth are fighting for anger, and Xiao Wu is an exception, her smart energy can't be hidden, but it's useless in the right place, and it's a headache to think about.
After a while, Chen Yizhou came over.
Although it was the first time they met, the other party was a group of two, but Chen Qiaoshan still recognized the main owner at a glance, because Chen Yizhou was too fat, and it was not much different from the image in the media in later generations.
"This is Tian Zhe, the stationmaster of the cat pounce. Chen Yizhou first introduced the people around him, and then looked at Chen Qiaoshan.
Yan Xiaoqin said: "Mr. Chen, this is Chen Qiaoshan, an investor of Tsingshan Forum. ”
Chen Yizhou was stunned for a moment, the two of them were too young, but he quickly recovered, "Today's intention must be clear to everyone, Thousand Oaks is very sincere, the current pattern of the domestic forum market is obvious, the end of the world is riddled with trouble, and the Qingshan Forum has also reached a bottleneck period, whether it is capital or traffic channels, external resources are needed, and Maopu is undoubtedly the best partner." ”
This was a bit aggressive, Chen Qiaoshan didn't like it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
He knows the development trend of the Internet, and others may not be able to see through it.
The domestic Internet has always copied the European and American models, Chen Yizhou has been messing around abroad all the year round, standing at the forefront of the times, he can naturally see the opportunity, otherwise he would not bet in advance and merge and acquire everywhere.
"As far as I know, it's not all smooth sailing at present, and a lot of content is similar to our forum, right?" Chen Qiaoshan knows in his heart that Maopu is different from Tianya, the former started with a game forum, and although it later transformed, it was subject to server conditions and has not developed well.
Tian Zhe was a little embarrassed, he was the stationmaster of Maopu, so he naturally knew the details inside.
After the merger into Thousand Oaks, although the hardware upgrade was completed, the forum did not improve much, in order to increase popularity, I had to organize a professional repost team, and attacked everywhere.
Chen Yizhou did not deny, "Internet entrepreneurship, users are the ultimate determining factor, the top three comprehensive forums are Maopu, Tsingshan Forum and Tianya Community, who can take the lead first, who can win in the next competition, do you think Tsingshan Forum still has a chance?"
Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to sit on the ground and raise the price, the forum must be sold, but it is definitely not Thousand Oaks that can afford the high price.
He didn't dwell on it, but took out two invitations and said: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Tian, there will be a stationmaster exchange meeting on the 8th of next month, and I hope the two of you can come to guide." ”
The two took the invitation letter, there was no special mark on it, and it seemed to be an admission voucher.
Tian Zhe looked through it and asked, "What kind of exchange meeting is it?"
"The participants are all the webmasters of individual stations, which are organized by Kangsheng and are considered non-governmental gatherings. Chen Qiaoshan didn't say too much detail, except for the meeting place, the final plan has not yet been determined.
Chen Yizhou heard something else from his words, "What do you have to do with Kangsheng?"
"We are all founding team members. ”
Chen Yizhou was a little surprised, Kangsheng is now also a star company in Zhongguancun, with a valuation of more than 100 million, and its reputation is much greater than that of Thousand Oaks.
Chen Yizhou did not take the invitation letter in his hand to heart, he is the first batch of Internet people in China, ChinaRen has a profound lesson, he knows better than anyone that capital is the decisive factor in Internet entrepreneurship.
Tian Zhe was very curious about Kangsheng, but asked a few words, and a few people chatted for a while about the possibility of merging Maopu and Qingshan Forum, but there was no more argument.
"Mr. Chen, I have to consider your proposal, so let's do it, around mid-August, I will definitely give you an exact answer. Yan Xiaoqin suddenly interjected, she didn't talk much today, and the initiative was handed over to Chen Qiaoshan, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the possibility of talking about it was blocked.
Chen Yizhou was a little surprised, and after a long detour with Chen Qiaoshan, he didn't get to the point, but he asked the main owner to block the conversation, and he was a little helpless, so he had to take out a prepared agreement and said: "This is our latest condition, you can take a look, if you have any questions, you can communicate at any time." ”
Leaving the agreement, the two took the lead in leaving.
Chen Qiaoshan asked, "What's the matter, you can still talk for a while?"
Yan Xiaoqin pointed his watch at him and said, "Tianya is coming over there, you don't want the three parties to get together, right?"
In just three or five minutes, Wang Gongquan appeared at the top of the stairs.
Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, when he saw the founder of Maopu, he thought that Xing Ming would come over, but he didn't expect Wang Gongquan to come alone.
Wang Gongquan is dressed very casually today, and no one will associate him with the former helmsman of a multinational company, but the small eyes behind the glasses are too attentive, and the alertness and shrewdness cannot be hidden.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Gongquan handed over a check and said, "This is 100,000 yuan, 968 to cash out the gambling contract." ”
Chen Qiaoshan took it and looked at it, then pushed it back, "Mr. Wang, after all, it's a private bet, it's not appropriate for me to give me this money, right?"
"Isn't it you who is betting on it, except for Peking University Qiaoshan, who dares to be so sure of the trend of the small and medium-sized board?" Wang Gongquan said, staring at the opposite side steadily, hoping to see clues from it.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't have any abnormalities on his face, and his identity was not deliberately kept secret, so it was not strange to be heard by the other party, he smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, you have wronged me, it is really not me who bets against Xing Ming." ”
Wang Gongquan asked in surprise, "Do you know ninety-six-eight?"
"I'm also an old member of the Tianya community, so it's not surprising to know, right?"
Yan Xiaoqin smiled and watched the two of them fight, but he didn't speak.
Wang Gongquan is a very successful industrial businessman, after quitting Vantone, he turned to venture capital, but he has not achieved much.
He invested 3721, but it was a small fight, and he invested 2 million with IDG, or RMB, but was diluted by JAFCO Asia's $5 million, and it was that investment that made him realize the power of capital in venture capital.
Wang Gongquan is preparing to build an investment fund under his control, and the first project is Tianya Community.
Although he doesn't understand the Internet, he is well versed in the rules of the market, and like Chen Yizhou, he directly stared at the Qingshan Forum that suddenly appeared.
"A million dollars. Wang Gongquan directly quoted a sky-high price, and Kangsheng only got $2 million in financing, in his opinion, this price was enough to impress the two opposites.
It's a pity that Chen Qiaoshan and Yan Xiaoqin didn't have any special reactions.
Wang Gongquan knew the truth of what was enough, he didn't increase the price again, and in the end, just like Chen Yizhou, he politely sent an invitation letter, and Yan Xiaoqin ended the meeting.
"A million dollars is a lot, do you really think the Qingshan Forum is worth 10 million?" Seeing Wang Gongquan away, Yan Xiaoqin couldn't help but ask this question again.
"Whether it's worth it or not, it still depends on whether the buyer is willing to do this wrong. ”
The next day, Chen Qiaoshan rushed to Hong Kong as scheduled.
He originally wanted to visit Director Yu of the Lower Science and Technology Commission, but it turned out to be a bit unlucky, and the other party had official activities, so he could only put it on hold temporarily.
Bidding farewell to the reluctant Yan Xiaoqin, Chen Qiaoshan boarded a flight to Hong Kong, and the moment the plane took off, he had a feeling that the sky was wide, and maybe if he came back, it would be a different look.
