A large company has the style of a large company, and Mr. Qin's office is very magnificent.

With an elegant mahogany desk, yellow pear filing cabinets, black leather sofas, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, standing in this office of 60 square meters, Li Jiaming can't help but sigh at the simplicity of his company.

Holding a teacup and looking around at the spacious and magnificent office, the calm Li Jiaming stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looked at the building opposite that was said to be the old office building of Lenovo, and suddenly sighed: "Mr. Qin, your monthly rent here is enough for me and Lao Zhang to eat instant noodles for a month." ”

This is a Pixiu, Mr. Qin, who put down the shelf, stood next to him, pointed to the four-story old building opposite the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and joked: "Laugh, this and that are the industries of our group, or I will sell the opposite building to you at a discount?" Jiaming, we are not as good as Silicon Valley, and the office building is the façade of the company and a symbol of strength. The building is a little old, but it's still very good to spend some money to decorate. ”

Li Jiaming looked at the old building opposite, which was three or four percent new, although it was only four stories high and a bungalow warehouse with an area of two or three acres, and couldn't help but admire the current cheap housing prices in the suburbs of Beijing, but he deliberately wondered: "That's great?

Now the price of the new house is only 800 / square meter is less than that, and the old building with the yard will be sold, at most it will be a million. With the development momentum and potential of SOHU, I am afraid that the municipal government will sell half of the land and half give away the land at the end of the year, and Mr. Qin will also be happy to give this favor.

"Okay, the total 1,200 square meters of that building is 500,000 yuan, and it will be convenient for us to move around often in the future. ”

At present, the 500,000 yuan old building in this area can be sold for more than 1 billion yuan in 20 years! He is still an iron-fisted prime minister, and although he has let go of the land policy, housing prices can only rise slowly during his tenure, and he will only take a rocket when he retires, if only he could be prime minister for 20 years.

Secretly sighed a few words, Li Jiaming continued: "Mr. Qin, my second uncle is a construction company, isn't your company going to build a new park, can you take care of it? You can rest assured, the price will definitely not be higher than that of other companies, and the wages of our mountain people are much lower than those of city people." ”

This is a good thing, those who can ask for private things can become friends, Mr. Qin, who is a marketing background, said happily: "Little meaning, the city is preparing to develop Zhongguancun next year, and I will help introduce it when the time comes." ”

I didn't expect that the other party could know what I hadn't even heard about the rumors, which shows how the other party's upper-class social resources are. Since this is the case, Yahoo, which has been biting to death with a valuation of 40 million, is not needed for the time being, the company is based in China, and before the company goes public in the United States, it does not need American social resources at all.

Li Jiaming pondered for a while, and said happily: "Mr. Qin, we need your social resources and the supremacy of the PC, our current valuation of Yahoo is 200 million US dollars, and you can only count it as 100 million US dollars, which is not high at all." ”

Now that the policy has been clear, it is about to usher in the great development of the Internet. Under the circumstance that the other party is not short of funds, it is indeed not too outrageous to value one of the most promising Internet companies in China to go public in the United States at 100 million US dollars. Venture capital is about risk, either losing money or making a lot of money.

"Mr. Qin, I will come up with two plans, which one do you think is better. ”

Sure enough, what Zhenyun said was right, this is an extremely confident guy, and Mr. Yang, who had been waiting for Li Jiaming's offer, smiled: "Please speak."

One is the plan proposed by Lao Gu to exchange equipment for shares, but the valuation will rise to 200 million US dollars, and the second is that the two sides will fully cooperate, and Lenovo will provide all hardware equipment to support SOHU until the national network is completed or listed in the United States.

What? Don't even want a big tree like yahoo? Mr. Qin looked at Li Jiaming strangely, and couldn't guess what the other party's idea was for a while, let alone where the other party's confidence came from. With 40 or 50 million in cash, plus the support of Wu Jianguo in Guangdong Province, you can build a portal that needs to cost hundreds of millions of yuan?

As long as the country will build a national network, this matter is very simple, Li Jiaming, who is clear about the Internet profit model, took a sip of hot tea and said sincerely: "Mr. Qin, the people actually have a lot of spare money, they just lack investment channels. For example, Chen Dong did not have less than 100 million yuan in cash, and I asked him to borrow my interest-free money before allowing him to invest 2 million US dollars, and he was very grateful to me. I'm a very xenophobic person, and it's not better to earn money for myself than to earn money for foreigners?"

Interesting, this is still a nationalist? The smiling Mr. Qin just wanted to agree, but there was a knock on the office door.

"Dong Li, wait a minute. ”

"Please. ”

Li Jiaming took a sip of tea and looked carefully at the old building opposite, although the building was a little old, it was really good, and it was enough for two or three years for the time being. It's a pity that the uncles are inseparable from their homeland and too peasant-minded, otherwise it would be a pity for them to take the opportunity to come to the capital to develop. Li Jiaming sighed and pondered here, but Mr. Qin was startled by the report of his subordinates outside.

Sohu's cash is more than 50 million, and Mr. Yang has been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to boast about Haikou and be able to pull 80 million a year's advertising business for a website. The website is not a TV station, and the current bandwidth and network speed display pictures are enough, not to mention video advertising, where do they get the confidence?

After sending away the subordinates who came to report the news, Mr. Qin returned to the office, chatted a few words about the decoration of the old building, and pretended to be curious: "Dong Li, the website depends on advertising to make profits, and you sohu have broken out of a way, but have you thought about it? Even if optical fiber communication replaces cable communication, it can solve the problems of bandwidth, delay, signal attenuation, etc., and maximize the use of equipment, but with the rapid growth of the number of Internet users, it is still necessary to invest a lot of money to purchase equipment." According to this estimate, I am afraid that in the next few years, you will have to rely on continuous financing to support the normal operation of your company. ”

How can there be morality in the mall, this Mr. Qin retreated when he saw that the policy was unclear, causing Li Jiaming to bet all his family business on Chen Dong, and naturally he would dig a small hole. The shrewdness of the professional managers of the United States imperialism, Li Jiaming has seen it in his previous life, as long as the website's advertising revenue reaches the website's break-even point, he will not worry about the source of funds at all.

"Mr. Qin, you are too conservative. CCTV is too high, the threshold is so high that many small and medium-sized enterprises cannot advertise, and local TV stations are not influential enough, this is the opportunity of our website. Chen Dong made a bet with me last night, based on 80 million \/year, he went to help us pull advertisements, and more than part of him was two or eight of us, and he would discount it if it was less.

Speaking of which, I can't believe that my company has such a high reputation that even people in Guangdong Province are using it. Do you know, as soon as that kid calls friends, our company received dozens of consultation calls from 9 to 12 o'clock this morning, all of which were about advertising business. ”

Impossible, right?

What the other party was thinking, the veteran Li Jiaming could guess something, and joked: "Mr. Qin, you must think that I am bragging, but in fact, you are too successful, and you have become the general manager of Lenovo Group within a few years, and you have forgotten the needs of those small and medium-sized enterprises." ”

"What do you mean?"

What do you mean? It means that you are not grounded, Li Jiaming explained funny: "Let me tell you this, now even if you go to the provincial TV station to advertise, the fifteen-second advertisement will be broadcast three times a day, and it will cost tens of thousands of yuan to broadcast it for a month." Placing advertisements on our website, a product image with a phone number and address hangs for 15 days, which is only 8,000 yuan. If you run an ad for three months at a time, we can also discount up to 40,000.

In fact, people don't care about the advertising effect, they only care that their product advertisements can be on the national media, and when they go out to do business, they will have face and the product will have credibility protection, and our website is undoubtedly the national media in their eyes. ”

It seems that Mr. Qin, who is a marketing background, suddenly slapped himself in the head, and he really stayed in the office for a long time and forgot the psychology of those small and medium-sized bosses. In this guy's annual advertising, it is only 160,000, and advertising on a well-known website in the country is better than setting up a billboard on the side of the road, and it can open up the popularity of the product, right?

What is popularity? Those bosses who know SOHU and will meet SOHU have already recognized this website and recognized the brand value of this website! 8,000 yuan is a lot for ordinary people, but for those bosses, what is it? For yourself, even if the advertisement is ineffective, it is good to buy a chance to brag on the wine table!

The key is that the newspapers and magazines distributed by non-party and government organs with the best sales sales are only 12 million copies a year, and the daily hits on their websites have exceeded 40 million!
