Lin Cheng of course knows that there is no need to wait for Huo Wenxi to settle down in the soil before personal computers can be popularized, and when the new millennium arrives, personal computers will already be quite popular in the mainland, which is far more backward than Xiangjiang, and 20 years later, the mainland has even entered the era of mobile Internet, and even personal computers have a faint tendency to be eliminated.

The development speed of the technology industry is very fast, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, take Lin Cheng's previous life, he bought a Nokia mobile phone at a price of about 1,500 in 09, when he returned to his hometown as a writer, this Nokia mobile phone is still very fashionable in the eyes of the villagers, attracting neighbors to borrow it to play.

But two or three years later, during the Chinese New Year, Lin Cheng attended the class reunion, and seeing that the classmates were either ipads or iPhones in their hands, Lin Cheng, who was holding Nokia, suddenly felt weak, so he could only silently stuff Nokia into his trouser pocket, and didn't dare to take it out again.

……

Xiangjiang is so big, Lin Cheng and his entourage soon came to the opposite side of Luohu Port, when Twist Teng and Zhang Zhidong had just completed the customs clearance procedures and stepped into the land of Xiangjiang, they saw a sturdy-looking young man striding towards them.

Zhang Zhidong is a weak otaku, as soon as he saw the momentum of this big man, he was so scared that he couldn't walk, they were affected by the movie "Crazy Boy", and they thought that this big man wanted to collect protection money from them!

"Is it Mr. Twist Vine and Mr. Zhang Zhidong?" Wang Chao tried to squeeze out a smile and said politely to the two.

However, it's okay that Wang Chao doesn't smile, although he looks a little fierce, but it is also acceptable, but when he laughs, the long scar on his face will swell with the corners of his mouth, giving people a fierce and vicious feeling, twist vine and Zhang Zhidong were almost scared by Wang Chao's smile, their legs kept shaking, and they could barely support their bodies.

"You ......" Wang Chao was depressed, thinking to himself if he laughed so scary?

If Zhang Zhidong could hear Wang Chao's heart, he would definitely say to Wang Chao: Yes, your smile is so terrifying!

In order not to frighten the two soft eggs in front of him anymore, Wang Chao finally restrained his smile and said straightforwardly: "Two gentlemen, come with me, Mr. Lin sent me over." ”

"Mr. Lin, is it Mr. Lin Cheng?" the two finally reacted and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Lin Cheng is my boss, and he is waiting for you outside the hall. Wang Chao nodded.

After some fright, the two of them soon saw Lin Cheng, and Lin Cheng's youth surprised the two of them, compared to Huo Wenxi next to them, the two even felt that Huo Wenxi was more like a successful person than Lin Cheng.

However, after Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong saw Lin Cheng driving over to pick them up and pick them up, they immediately put away their contempt for Lin Cheng, obviously the two are not fledgling rookies, and they know that not everyone can drive a bulletproof BMW.

When Lin Cheng's convoy drove to the Shangri-La Hotel and booked a presidential suite for Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong, the two no longer had any doubts about Lin Cheng's strength.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, when it was time to eat, Lin Cheng invited Twist Vine and Zhang Zhidong to the Summer Palace Restaurant, and the signature dish of the Summer Palace Buddha jumping over the wall had been done as early as when Lin Cheng set off to pick up the twist vine.

Lin Cheng was originally a glutton, in his opinion, the world is not as big as eating, if there is no expectation of food, what is the meaning of living?!

Twist Vine and Zhang Zhidong were originally very apprehensive, but when they tasted the delicacy of Buddha jumping over the wall, they couldn't wait to swallow their tongues into their stomachs, and the previous restraint and anxiety disappeared completely, everyone waved chopsticks and competed for food, and the strange atmosphere disappeared.

Lin Cheng is a human being in two lives, he has long been familiar with this kind of occasion, and the meat words he learned on the Internet in his previous life do not need money to pour out, and a few minutes later, he hooked up with Twist Teng and Zhang Zhidong, and almost cut off the head of the chicken, drank the blood of the chicken, and worshiped as brothers of the opposite sex.

After three glasses of red wine, the atmosphere gradually opened, and the topic gradually talked about the Internet that everyone loves, but Lin Cheng has also been exercised these days, knowing that whoever speaks first in the negotiation process will fall behind, so he did not directly throw out the plan to create instant messaging software, but deliberately guided the topic, and talked about some Internet anecdotes with the two of them, but did not talk about the topic, which made Twist Teng and Zhang Zhidong both sweat anxiously.

"Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, I have long wanted to enter the Internet industry, and I also have some research on some popular Internet software abroad, such as the instant messaging software ICQ co-founded by three Israelis, Weisge, Wadi and Goldfinger last year. Seeing that Lin Cheng was slow to get to the point, the anxious twist vine couldn't hold back anymore, and directly threw out the direction in which he was going to start a business.

Twist vine really deserves to be the king of the cottage, as early as this time he showed his true colors of the cottage, for this point as the opponent of the twist vine will naturally hate him so much that he will grit his teeth, but for Lin Cheng to support it vigorously, after all, now Lin Cheng wants to ride in the same boat with the twist vine!

No matter how bad the reputation of the penguin empire on the road is, the penguin can sit on the first place in China's Internet in later generations, and the cottage is undoubtedly its invincible weapon.

Zhang Zhidong also nodded and said: "Mr. Lin, I have studied the ICQ made by the Israelis, and there is no difficulty, as long as I am given half a year and enough servers, I can copy it to China and complete the development of the Chinese version." ”

When Lin Cheng heard this, he immediately knew that Twist Vine and Zhang Zhidong had already done their homework before they came over, and they had thoroughly understood the direction and technology of entrepreneurship, since this was the case, Lin Cheng didn't need to hide it from them, and immediately threw out the Penguin Empire plan that he had prepared a long time ago.

Twist Vine and Zhang Zhidong didn't do their homework before they came to see Lin Cheng, and they knew that Lin Cheng had a thunderous name in Xiangjiang - Wonder Boy, so they were also quite looking forward to what Lin Cheng took out.

Lin Cheng said with a smile while drinking a little wine: "Pony (Twist Vine's English name) wants to create a Chinese version of ICQ in the right direction, Tony (Zhang Zhidong's English name) technology I also admire very much, and I, Lin Cheng, have a lot of funds, as long as the three of us join together, it is completely predictable to create an Internet empire." ”

"In the future, the technology company we created will be called Penguin Technology, and the company's logo will be marked by the little penguin in Antarctica, and the icon of our software can also be applied to the penguin icon, as for what Pony said about naming the instant messaging software we developed as QICQ?

In the previous life, QQ's name was indeed called QICQ at the beginning, due to the complete replication of ICQ in terms of technology and network architecture, plus the name was almost identical, and for this reason, it robbed many users of QICQ, and in 2000, the United States Imperial, which had acquired ICQ, sued Penguin in court in a fit of anger.

In view of the fact that the name of the defendant is more than 2/3 similar to the name of the plaintiff under the law of the United States, infringement can be constituted, and Penguin lost the lawsuit and was ordered to pay damages and change the name.

It was not until April 2000 that Penguin changed its domain name to Penguin, and by that time the user market of Penguin had opened up, and the mainland market began to stabilize and mature. In order to avoid disputes with ICQ, Penguin decided to completely change the name of OICQ and change its name to "Penguin QQ".

How could Lin Cheng not understand this history as a reborn person, in order not to make the same mistakes as in his previous life, so Lin Cheng pointed it out to Twist Vine at the beginning to avoid big trouble in the future.

Of course, the investment conditions of Lin Cheng, Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong have not yet been negotiated, so the penguin development plan he threw out is just a castrated version of the early development process of penguins in the previous life, but even so, it is enough for Ma and Zhang to be amazed by Lin Cheng, and they almost admire it.

In order to shock Ma Zhang and the two, Lin Cheng seemed to casually throw out some classic ideas and ideas in the development process of penguins in later generations to the two, such as QQ membership level system and QQ skins and other small means to cheat money.

You must know that today's Internet industry, although everyone says that it is a sunrise industry, and the future will definitely be great, but now no one has figured out the profit model of the Internet industry, and they are completely losing money and making money, and although the few ideas thrown by Lin Cheng seem very insignificant, they can really cheat money!

Nowadays, people who can afford to play on the computer and get the Internet are all people with financial ability, in order to make their QQ level higher than others, they will definitely spare money to upgrade to QQ members, as for QQ skin, this kind of props are also a weapon for cheating money for those girls who love beauty.

After Lin Cheng talked about the lotus flower for more than ten or twenty minutes, he ranked in the top ten on the list of China's richest people in later generations, and Ma Zhang, who was regarded as the "entrepreneur crusher" by his Internet peers, was stunned for a while, and was amazed by Lin Cheng, almost to the point of throwing himself to the ground.

Lin Cheng was extremely proud in his heart, and a villain in his body who looked exactly like Lin Cheng was extremely despised Ma and Zhang, "Hahaha!

"Look at you guys, I'll just point out some things and you'll be surprised, Lao Tzu hasn't told you about wireless value-added services, online games, music videos, online shopping malls, Weibo and WeChat, if Lao Tzu tells these things, he will definitely blow you up!haha!"

After reading the Penguin Empire development plan provided by Lin Cheng, there are no doubts about Lin Cheng's investment in Ma Zhang, in the eyes of Ma Zhang, Lin Cheng is a like-minded person like them, but Lin Cheng's career is too much and too miscellaneous, and he doesn't put all his attention on the Internet, otherwise, even if Lin Cheng doesn't take them to do it alone, there will be nothing for them.

After some negotiations, it was orally preliminarily proposed that Lin Cheng would invest 9 million to occupy 50% of the shares of Penguin, and Twist Teng and Zhang Zhidong would make up enough 700,000 yuan and then borrow 300,000 yuan from Lin Cheng, and then take 30% of the shares with management and technology, and the remaining 20% of the shares would be temporarily vacant as an equity incentive to attract more talents to enter Penguin and create an operation team.
