Chapter 390: Scattered Meals
Many people are secretly vigilant that the crisis of network concept stocks is not accidental.
The breakdown of the air network is enough to illustrate the problem, Wall Street investors have lost interest in the SP business, and these are the performance support of several major portals, and transformation is imperative.
July 12th, the last day of the semester.
At noon, Chen Qiaoshan invited Liu Chang and Wang Sifeng, plus Yan Xiaoqin, a total of four people, and did not go to other places, just in the campus cafeteria of Peking University.
"Strange thing, why did you think of inviting us to eat in the canteen today?" Liu Chang is very familiar with Kangbos, the chicken leg rice here is very famous in the whole of Peking University, she used to follow Wang Sifeng a lot, but since joining Chen Qiaoshan's entrepreneurial team, this is the first time to come back.
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "It's already very good to have a free lunch, don't pick and choose." ”
"Look, live like a capitalist. Liu Chang was quite disdainful, and when he saw Yan Xiaoqin hiding to the side to watch the excitement, he pulled her over and asked, "Xiaoqin, am I right?"
Yan Xiaoqin lit up the meal card in his hand and said with a smile: "He doesn't know where to throw his meal card for a long time, and I have a treat today." ”
Liu Chang couldn't help but complain: "No wonder people say that the richer you are, the more you pick, I think you two are in a gang." ”
Back on campus, Liu Chang was a lot more relaxed, but he let go of his mind and chatted with Yan Xiaoqin.
Chen Qiaoshan and Wang Sifeng are not very involved, the predicament of the forum is obvious, this is a problem that no one can avoid, both of them are thinking about this matter, but the problems they consider are completely different.
"It's a little strange today, why is there no one lining up?" Liu Chang looked around, Combos's chicken thigh rice was very popular, and when he usually came over, the line could meander to other windows.
Yan Xiaoqin said: "This morning is the last exam, and many people have already left school. ”
Wang Sifeng was a little surprised, he glanced around, there were indeed not many people in the cafeteria, and he realized that he hadn't been here for half a year.
Liu Chang smiled: "Time flies so fast, I remember that we met at this window." ”
"Yes, the first time we met, I met you and complained about Brother Wang, I also sympathize with your old Wang, I'm afraid that you will kick him on the spot to find the one who has a house and a car, so I gave you two chicken legs, how about it, I'm interesting enough, right?"
Chen Qiaoshan's joke made several people laugh, but after laughing, Liu Chang and Wang Sifeng were a little embarrassed in their hearts.
Half a year ago, Wang Sifeng was still engaged in scientific research in the information security laboratory, the project was half dead, and the little money he saved from private work in the early years was also filled in, and the prospect was confused.
Wang Sifeng couldn't help but glance Chen Qiaoshan up and down, T-shirt with jeans, plus a pair of sneakers, very ordinary wear, but in the campus is common, but who would have thought that this is a successful entrepreneur, one of the few successful people in Zhongguancun.
"Is there something wrong with calling us over today?" Wang Sifeng finally asked.
At this moment, there are wolves and tigers in front of the forum, which can be regarded as the edge of the cliff, of course, the forum itself did not do anything wrong, but just let competitors force this one.
Whether it was Chen Qiaoshan or Wang Sifeng, they never put the cat flutter in their eyes.
It is clear to everyone in the industry that Maopu is barely able to survive on only two servers, and the threat is limited, but after the merger, the situation has been reversed.
The cat pounced on Chen Yizhou's territory, and it was not the previous cat pounce.
Sohu's acquisition of ChinaRen is a stock plus cash, Sohu's stock price has fluctuated greatly in the past two years, only one or two dollars at the beginning, and the highest in the middle has been $40, no one knows how much money Chen Yizhou has earned, only one point, since the beginning of the year, he has been making acquisitions, Maopu, uume, Dones......
Such a large-scale acquisition must have made a lot of money at the beginning.
As for Sina and Sohu, Wang Sifeng has a headache when he thinks about it, once the Tianya community has a portal diversion, the Qingshan Forum may only be reduced to the second rate.
The forum used to be a niche market, and with Chen Qiaoshan's support, he naturally had the confidence to become bigger, but suddenly two disruptors came in, which was a bit of a failure.
Chen Qiaoshan was a little excited, "There's nothing else, I just want to invite everyone to have a casual meal." ”
Everyone is stunned, not a year, where to start with this casual meal.
"There's nothing wrong with you, it's just a summer vacation, what kind of casual meals do you eat?" Liu Chang was disgusted, "Besides, why don't you look for classmates, why do you call me and Lao Wang?"
It happened to be their turn, Chen Qiaoshan didn't bother to answer, and said directly, "It's our turn, everyone, you're welcome, eat as much as you want, it's mine." ”
After a pause, he said to the chef who was cooking, "Master, add two more chicken legs to me!"
Standing in front of the window, Chen Qiaoshan honestly and unceremoniously ordered the meal, which made several students nearby look sideways, isn't this person sick, you can go to the restaurant outside with a large amount of money, and run to the school to make a fuss.
Yan Xiaoqin was used to it, and really swiped his card to buy Chen Qiaoshan a chicken leg rice with three chicken legs.
The people around shook their heads, God is blind, how can such a good girl fall in love with such a foodie.
Liu Chang has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and couldn't help but say: "Dashan, you are also the boss, why don't you pay attention to your image?"
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "I am a promising young man who is working hard, what else should I pay attention to?"
Liu Chang is out of line, she can't do anything about him when she encounters such a bastard.
As the holiday approached, the cafeteria was empty, and a few people found a corner to sit down, but they didn't worry about being disturbed.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't take classes seriously this semester, and Liu Chang asked, "How is it, the final exam is okay, right?"
"It's okay, it's a little sure. ”
"It's okay, skipping classes all day, and you're so busy during this time, can you still be sure of this?"
Yan Xiaoqin debunked: "He is sure that he will not get a scholarship." ”
Liu Chang lost her temper, and she also knew that the two of them started with the first-class scholarship for freshmen at Peking University.
From 30,000 to 10 million, it only took a year, and Liu Chang could only secretly admire, "Tell me, what are you going to do when you call us over today?"
Chicken leg rice is worthy of the signature of Combos, the taste is really good, hearing the question, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but stop the chopsticks, today is indeed a casual meal.
"I'm going to spin off the Castle Peak Forum. ”
Including Yan Xiaoqin, several people were stunned, and they didn't understand what Chen Qiaoshan meant.
Wang Sifeng had always been worried about the forum, but when he heard Chen Qiaoshan say this, he hurriedly asked, "How to split it? What will you do after it is dismantled?"
Yan Xiaoqin and Liu Chang were very surprised, they both heard the news for the first time.
"I'm ready to get out of the mess on my own. ”
"And then?" Wang Sifeng asked.
"Find a way to sell the Aoyama Forum. ”
As soon as this remark came out, several people present suddenly became not calm, in order to make the forum, Chen Qiaoshan spent a lot of effort in their eyes, they were still building momentum for the forum a few days ago, and they were ready to sell it today, this turning point is really too big.
Wang Sifeng was a little disappointed, but he was not surprised, in the face of the threat of capital bosses and portal platforms, he had no background and no funds, and what he could do was really limited.
If you want to keep up with the rhythm of Maopu and Tianya's expansion, there is only one way to go, which is also the root cause of the Internet to burn money.
But in the current situation, trying to raise money is basically an extravagant hope.
Wang Sifeng hesitated for a moment, "Who do you want to sell to?"
"Sina, or Sohu, is unclear. Several people are stakeholders, and Chen Qiaoshan did not hide it, and told the plan again.
Stabilizing the stock price requires new performance highlights, which is also the fundamental purpose of Sina and Sohu's eagerness to acquire Tianya.
It's no secret that the role of portals is waning, and there is plenty of evidence to support this view.
The three major portals are expanding their businesses beyond the functions of the portal, NetEase is doing games, Sohu is doing search, and Sina is doing instant messaging, and in the face of falling stock prices, they need new performance support.
The forum is still an untapped market, and both Sohu and Sina are betting that the forum will be the next outlet.
Liu Chang asked: "The target of Sina and Sohu's acquisition is Tianya, do you want to sell people to buy it?"
"Aren't there two buyers, and our forum is not bad, so you can always sell if you want to. Chen Qiaoshan was not too worried, he knew that Tianya finally rejected the offer of the two, and there was still a lot of room for manipulation.
Wang Sifeng finally understood the meaning of the casual meal, if the forum is successfully sold, according to industry practice, he needs to go to the new owner for three years, not only him, but also the entire founder team, even if he leaves halfway, he also needs to sign a non-compete clause.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Yan Xiaoqin.
Wang Sifeng suddenly came to his senses, perhaps from the beginning, Chen Qiaoshan had the intention of cashing out and leaving.
