Chen Qiaoshan doesn't know much about the IT industry ecology in Silicon Valley, but he definitely knows about Youtube and has been paying attention to it.

YouTube is not the first video site, now, google video and MSN video are the real industry leaders, in addition, there are a large number of video sites such as Vimeo and putfile.

It only took 20 months for Youtube to break through the encirclement, from 0 to 1.65 billion US dollars, I have to say, this is an Internet miracle.

Chen Qiaoshan knows that apart from him, no one knows how broad the money scene of this video station is, and there is no doubt that this is a rare opportunity.

In the face of such a large piece of cake, it must be fake to be tempted.

Chen Qiaoshan has been following the relevant developments, and he became a registered user of Youtube as soon as it was launched in beta last month.

Originally, Chen Qiaoshan planned to take the opportunity to attend the annual meeting of Huayuan Association to find a way to go over.

At this stage, Youtube is still one of the many start-up websites, no one cares, at this time, it is an angel round of investment, there are not too many obstacles, if it drags on for a few more months, and when the number of users surges, it will have to compete with many European and American capitals, and the outcome is not necessarily.

Chen Qiaoshan's plan was very thorough, but it fell out because he was hospitalized.

He has regrets in his heart, this kind of thing can only be handled personally, and if he assigns his subordinates to do it, it is easy to fall into the hands of others.

If you miss it, you miss it, Chen Qiaoshan didn't have any hope, but Wang Sifeng brought the project back, so he didn't have any worries.

After resting for two days and reversing the jet lag, Wang Sifeng returned to the company.

"Only pick these two?" After a month of busy work, he brought back more than 20 copies of the project book, but in the end, there were only two left, and Wang Sifeng was inevitably a little disappointed.

He knew in his heart that even these last two copies might be vetoed, and it was very likely that nothing would be achieved for this trip to Silicon Valley.

The project was brought back by Wang Sifeng, but the choice is here in Chen Qiaoshan.

If Chen Qiaoshan went to the United States this time, it would inevitably be covered up, so as not to be difficult to explain in the future, but now there is no need for that.

"Except for the video station, I am not very optimistic about other projects. Chen Qiaoshan didn't even bother to find a better reason to directly eliminate the rest.

Anyway, there are still two projects, which are better than the annihilation of the whole army, and Wang Sifeng can only comfort himself like this.

Although he is still a novice investor, Wang Sifeng also knows that practitioners have non-competition, and as an investor, they should also pay attention to the prohibition of the same industry, and invest in two video stations at the same time, regardless of whether the financier has special requirements, Tsingshan Capital must divide the priority, not to mention that YouTube and Vimeo are substantial competitors.

Since starting his business, he has never seen Chen Qiaoshan make a mistake, and every time he thinks of this, Wang Sifeng is also quite impressed in his heart, but there are still some things to say.

"Do you think about it again, invest in two video websites at the same time, in case the other party comes up with an exclusive agreement, how should we deal with it?"

How to choose, Chen Qiaoshan naturally made a decision.

At present, the biggest players in the Internet video industry in Europe and the United States are Google and Microsoft, and as rising stars, YouTube can't even enter the top ten.

Chen Qiaoshan has done his homework, and the reason why Viemo was selected is because its market share ranks high among a group of small players, and in the final analysis, it is just a foil, and it is clear who is the guest and who is the master.

"It must be prioritized, and it is not too late to discuss this after the due diligence is completed. Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to be too eager, although he had already set the goal, he still had to have the process to go, and now he has enough time to lay it out.

"How did you get the project books of these two companies?" Chen Qiaoshan still asked more, thinking that he had missed it, but he didn't think about it and turned around, he felt very weird, and inevitably had some thoughts to get to the bottom of it.

Wang Sifeng didn't doubt him, how could he have thought that there was a unicorn hidden in the project he brought back.

"Isn't Xiao Yan making a little video, I see that you two are very interested, so I paid more attention to this project. ”

A drink and a peck are not heavenly, the reason is so simple, Chen Qiaoshan can only sigh, it is yours after all, you can't escape.

Yan Xiaoqin's video station is just a whim, Chen Qiaoshan also has a dispensable attitude, it is naturally good to do, and if it is not done well, it will be regarded as paying a tuition, I don't want to be here There is no movement, but it has brought YouTube into the sight of Tsingshan Capital, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

With one more overseas project, it is natural to rebuild an investment team.

The project was brought back by Wang Sifeng, which is also a big opportunity, once this matter is done, it will inevitably be a blockbuster in the domestic venture capital circle.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't think about being greedy, he can't be too greedy, he made money, and there was no reason to take his name away.

Chen Qiaoshan is happy to be an adult, since Wang Sifeng is involved, he will hand over the project to him, there is only one requirement during the period, and all the processes must be carried out as soon as possible.

…………

On weekend evenings, Yuan Jing invited a few fellow villagers who came to Yanjing for dinner.

She applied for an exchange student quota at the National People's University, and in the second half of the year, Yuan Jing will go to study at Queen Mary, University of London.

This is a funding plan of the NSFC, which is equivalent to studying abroad on public assignment, and it is rare to be selected, and it is reasonable to bring a friend to celebrate.

"I said Yuan Jing, you are a big person in our country, we don't have any restaurants over there, why do you have to choose here?" Sun Fatzi was a little dissatisfied, although the barbecue at the West Gate of Peking University tasted good, but after all, it was someone's territory.

"You talk a lot, you have to eat and you can't stop your mouth?" Wang Lin was used to being straightforward and fast-talking, so he immediately went back.

Sun Fatzi smiled, and he didn't care, he was just a habit, someone treated, not to mention the West Gate of Peking University, even in Tongzhou, he could have a happy trip.

I chose the barbecue restaurant I used to go to, and before I knew it, two years had passed, and several people had their own plans for the future, Sun Fatzi started an IT community, Wang Lin followed Yan Xiaoqin to start a business together, only Yuan Jing, although she would also help on weekends, but the focus was still on her studies, and she was the only one among several people who chose to go abroad.

After 01 years, the tide of going abroad has subsided for a period of time, but recently there are signs of a rise, as far as Chen Qiaoshan knows, Guanghua's financial experimental class, most of the thirty people who were carefully selected at the beginning, most of them have plans to study abroad.

Seeing that there were only two people, Chen Qiaoshan and Yan Xiaoqin, Yuan Jing asked, "What about Xiao Wu, didn't you ask you to call her too?"

"I was pulled away by Yan Yan, the little girl just had a cold, she couldn't eat these, and Xiao Wu couldn't bring Yan Yan over. Yan Xiaoqin explained with a smile, and asked again: "Have you signed in person, when will you leave?"

"The visa has come down, thank you so much, I don't know what to do if it weren't for your help. Although Yuan Jing applied for a study abroad grant, she still encountered a lot of trouble halfway.

When applying for a study visa, you need to prove your financial resources.

Yuan Jing had only two options: to provide a UK bank account with enough money for a year's worth of living expenses, or to provide a financial guarantee from a foreign school.

Study abroad funding only covers tuition fees, but for today's Chinese people, the cost of living in the UK is not cheap, no matter which way, it is not possible to do it in a short period of time.

Due to the rush of time, Yuan Jing was also helpless, or Yan Xiaoqin heard the news and helped to do the matter, of course, it was Chen Qiaoshan's relationship.

Although Chen Qiaoshan did the thing, not only did he not come forward, but he also did not receive the credit.

In front of outsiders, Yan Xiaoqin has always shown a gentle personality and rarely has conflicts with others.

Everyone has a temper, Yan Xiaoqin is no exception, she has a strong sense of territory, Yuan Jing once had a little inexplicable mind about Chen Qiaoshan, and the two of them froze for a while.

Now that one has started a business and the other is about to study abroad, the relationship has naturally eased a lot.
