Independent search engine companies are not an uncommon thing at this time, and it is not that Chen Zier forcibly conceived it with the experience of later generations.

In fact, it's real, and it existed two years ago.

"As you surely know, in February 1998, the paid rankings were launched with great success, and they were successfully launched in 1999. ”

Li Yanhong's own patent for hyperchain analysis technology also solves the problem of web page sorting, which he is all too familiar with.

So he knows.

"Yes, but after all, it has just begun, and there may be some unpredictable risks, I think, the whiteness is still very small, to survive, and China's current Internet users are just over 10 million, many people don't know what a search engine is, even if we launch an independent search website, promotion is a big problem. ”

Chen Zier looked at him silently.

He always felt that as the CEO, Li Yanhong's technical color was stronger than the commercial color.

Real business people are like Ma's father, does anyone know what e-commerce is these days?

He wiped his mouth and said, "You are now appearing as a technical service provider, and it will be difficult to turn the ship around in the future." ”

Li Yanhong asked, "How can you see it?"

Chen Zier shrugged his shoulders, "Capital is very greedy, and capital is also very timid. ”

"At that time, other shareholders will not easily agree to you as an independent search engine company, the general environment is not good, they want you to be a technical service provider steadily, and no one will support you to switch to a new business model, because that will cut off the only revenue channel. ”

Li Yanhong was silent.

Chen Zier knows that it is difficult to convince such people.

People who are easily persuaded are generally wandering around in place, most of the time constantly turning their heads to look in the direction, but those who have the courage to dare to break through know that it is better to take a fucking step first, take care of him, and go on the road first.

"We'll talk about that later. Chen Zier took the initiative to stop the conversation, he flipped through the business plan and said: "Shengshi Investment receives a lot of emails every day, we have our own screening methods, I noticed that the whiteness is actually your Li Yanhong's three words, I am not good at science, so I admire you science and engineering men, especially those with excellent patents and Silicon Valley background." ”

"You yourself are not bad, the Chinese search market is indeed promising. Of course, we have ambiguity in the business model, and this is left to the market to judge, but for now, at the moment,"

He looked serious, "I will lower the valuation of whiteness in my mind, I can tell you this directly." You write at the end of your business plan that you hope to raise $15 million in exchange for a 25% stake, which is too high. ”

Chen Zier has been aggressive.

Li Yanhong responded: "I don't think it's very high, the technology of whiteness is the best in Chinese search, the team is the best, and I pay great attention to technology, I believe that whiteness will become the leader of Chinese search." ”

"Perhaps, but businessmen always prepare for the worst. Chen Zier did not deny it, "I can only give you 10 million US dollars for 25% of the equity." ”

Li Yanhong actually has fluctuations in his heart.

Shengshi Investment is the most perfect choice for whiteness!

Chen Zier didn't want to squeeze too low, it was not easy for these companies to survive, of course he could say less about 2 million US dollars, but compared with the future income, 2 million US dollars can be basically ignored.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for trusting Baidu. He stood up and offered to hold out his hand.

Well, although in the end he couldn't convince him to make adjustments in the choice of the road at the beginning, in fact, from another point of view, if you don't have your own thinking and persistence, your self-confidence and goals, and you just listen to what he says here and change casually, you won't be able to stay after the big waves.

Sometimes a detour is not necessarily a bend, and after you really walk through it, it may be straighter in the future.

So Chen Zier shook hands with him.

This is another move by Shengshi Investment.

$10 million, for him, doesn't feel like anything at all.

Now it's okay, Chen Zier can't count how many of the companies he invested in were listed in 04 and 05.

It's not good, in those two years, he had to be a regular on the NASDAQ.

In fact, Robin didn't have to worry about promotion.

The investment behavior of the famous angel investor Chen Zier will ferment, spread, and spread by itself, but if he is willing to insist, he will stick to it.

Afterwards, as in the last two times, the official website of Shengshi Investment will officially release the news, and I think that as a technical service provider, Baidu will receive the favor of many portals after that.

As for Gitzo Xu Yan, it's even easier.

It's a pity that China.com itself is not doing well, and its technical services can't make much income.

……

……

CUHK Campus.

Cai Yifeng finished his internship in Shengshi Real Estate, and he can't compare with Chen Zier, and his graduation thesis has to spend some time pondering by himself.

Xiaobo pondered with him, and they were both revising their papers.

"One peak. Sitting in the dormitory, Song Xiaobo suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Cai Yifeng didn't turn his head, and responded in a muffled voice.

"When are we going to find Lao Chen and bring someone to meet you. ”

Cai Yifeng looked at the lewd man with a shy face, "Are you in love?"

Xiaobo scratched his head, "Sort of, fellow." ”

"Really, I'll call him and ask him the time. Cai Yifeng said with a smile.

Song Xiaobo was still a little speechless and stopped.

Cai Yifeng is now a little more proficient in observing words and feelings, his eyes rolled, and then he said, "Is there something to ask him, right?

"He's capable, and he's got a lot of ways. Song Xiaobo said that he was a little embarrassed, in fact, he was quite forced.

"Okay. Cai Yifeng actually had a smiling face.

In the entire dormitory, he is the least likely to engage in human relations, and it would not be too bad if he didn't mess with Chen Zier.

However, he knows that this is a good person, and there are some things he can't say, but for the sake of women, he can often break through his bottom line. good guy one.

"Ouch, by the way, what time is it, today an aunt of mine is passing by Zhonghai, and I have to have a meal with someone. ”

"It's not even four o'clock, what are you?"

Distant relatives, aunts with a little blood relationship, surnamed Huang, named Ping, an ordinary woman's name, but her personality experience is not so ordinary, she was quite poor before, and later she made money as an intermediary.

She said that she had never studied in college, let alone eaten in the university cafeteria, and had never felt the university atmosphere, so she wanted to come and see.

Simple dishes, each person carries a plate, and sits opposite each other in the cafeteria.

The woman is in her forties, dressed up, foreign-styled, and does not look like an ordinary housewife.

"So you agreed to go to Yanjing?"

Cai Yifeng nodded, "I agreed, I'll go after graduation." ”

Huang Ping affirmed: "Okay, don't listen to your father, what is going back to northern Zhejiang, and Yanjing is far away, not adapting to the north, what can a boy do in captivity at home, look at Chen Zier,"

Cai Yifeng said: "It's not comparable to him." He was so lucky. ”

"Luck alone can't explain his success, there are reasons behind miracles, turning a million into 10 million and turning 100 million into 100 million are different concepts, there are many people who can do the former, and there are many people who can do it in the latter...... Handful. ”
