Fame and fortune, fame and fortune, fame will be beneficial.

A few months ago, Li Jiaming had to beg Yang Zhiyuan to invite the media to attend the product launch, and after the iPod triggered a buying boom among young people, various media began to flock to HH Company, and regarded HH Company as a new darling.

Li Jiaming, who finished exercising in the morning, took a shower and just picked up the rice noodles cooked by the fourth brother, which startled the screams in the living room, and the guy yle talked about it on TV, and he simply blew hh into the first in the galaxy and invincible in the universe, and apples, hp, and dell are all scum.

"Li Jiaming, are you so powerful?"

"Huh"

Qiao Qiao, who was snoring and snoring after eating, watched the TV, and suddenly said: "It's very powerful, I didn't say it on TV, I didn't expect it, you guys are really powerful." I have the impression that even Haier's stuff can only be sold in Walmart. ”

Haier, do you think that people don't want to go to bestbuy, because people don't look down on them, no matter how much money they pay, they won't let them in!

"What about you?"

Li Jiaming smiled bitterly: "HH is an American company, from the CEO to the ordinary employees, all of them are Americans, and the patents are also theirs, and the performance of the iPod is better than all similar products on the market, so this is accepted by them." If I hadn't listened to Kyle's advice and hadn't turned this corner, I wouldn't have been able to get into Bestbuy either. ”

"You gave this house to you, right? And these household appliances and decorations, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

Fortunately, Li Jiaming has been in this position several times as a little sister, a full sister, and Wanwan, and he was stunned for a moment and said: "If you have the ability to go to the eldest sister, don't come to deceive me! The eldest brother-in-law has put on the hat of the richest man, and he has let his brother-in-law get married without a house, so he can hold his face? A businessman is not a big doctor like you, face is more important than money, how can a friend look up to him without face?"

"Come on, don't think I'm stupid! If it's sent by the eldest sister, it will definitely be the eldest brother-in-law who will come forward, how can you come forward?

The gift that the wife gave to her husband's relatives, and the husband's gift to his wife's relatives, this is indeed the simplest human affection, but Li Jiaming didn't admit it, and these two couldn't help it. With the temper of the eldest sister, even Qiao Qiao didn't dare to fight with her.

Not long after the three of them finished breakfast, before the winter morning fog had lifted, Marissa came in an old Ford with a pile of iPods. Helping Li Jiaming put the box away, Marissa with a not very good face apologized: "RUB has just received Sequoia's B round of venture capital, and they say that they no longer need funds at present. ”

Li Jiaming, who knew the progress of the negotiation, signed the sixty iPods, and then listened to her explanation, and said with a smile: "Miss Marisa, I will inform Kyle to give you appropriate compensation according to the law, or you can choose to join HH Company and start from the grassroots level." ”

"Sorry", Marisa, who knew that she was derelict in her duties, turned red, bowed slightly and left, and Qiao Qiao, who was happy to see it, was inexplicable.

"Li Jiaming, you're too ruthless, aren't you? It's not time to go to work yet, and people come to deliver things, so you let people go?"

Heroes are judged by success or failure, and their subordinates who can't work with a little vision are the use of coming to themselves?

"You don't understand", the disappointed Li Jiaming put away the iPod on the table, and helped the future fourth sister-in-law put the seventeen small cartons into a large cardboard box, explaining: "The workplace is like a battlefield, and the most important thing to do is to find ways to complete the work, not to make excuses for yourself." ”

"Also, Jiaming, I have two seniors who are also starting a business, and they are running venture capital all day long, and people refuse your financing, there may be other reasons, right?"

was reminded by the fourth brother, Li Jiaming also thought about it, and felt that there should be other reasons for backrub's rejection of his sincerity. After thinking for a while, Li Jiaming picked up the phone next to him and called Yang Zhiyuan directly.

"Brother Zhiyuan, are you interested in investing in HH Company? Okay, I'll come to your office to talk. ”

Yang Zhiyuan, who had already gone out to work overtime, hung up the phone, feeling a little incredible, this involves a matter of principle, and he still wants to make a deal? However, the company does have a future, and Yang Zhiyuan, who can't make up his mind, thought about it, and went to discuss with CEO Tim after returning to the company.

If there is another way, Li Jiaming does not want to trade, but the opportunity to invest in Backrub is too precious, because this company will be called Google in the future. Hehe, the money of the American people is too easy to earn, and if you don't circle their money, it's simply intolerable. It's a pity that Li Jiaming pondered hard along the way, and also felt that it was difficult to get this bargaining chip, and it was estimated that there was a good chance that it would be in vain, unless it was to make Lao Zhang give up sogo, but that was impossible.

More than two hours later, Li Jiaming took a taxi to Yahoo, and after chatting with Yang Zhiyuan for a while, when people took the initiative to ask about it, he replied: "Brother Zhiyuan, I have always thought that technology drives content, not content drives technology, and I think BackRub will succeed." ”

Sling the bull!

Yang Zhiyuan lost his usual Sven, and mocked: "For sogo, we make the portal, and you have to do a search? Your company is really interesting, either to search for foxes or to help people find dogs." ”

Li Jiaming doesn't like this kind of mocking tone, and he is not a master who can be angry, since people have expressed their attitude, they are still wronged?

"There's nothing wrong with you thinking so. If it weren't for you stepping into the world of content providers, we wouldn't have developed Chinese search engines at all. ”

Yahoo (Huaguo) Company did search at first, and got the cooperation of Sohu, and later changed to a web portal, Zhang Zhaoyang also protested. Yang Zhiyuan, who felt that he was a little wrong, blushed a little, but still refused: "What if we refuse?"

Refuse? Then refuse, without Zhang Butcher, can you still eat hairy pigs?

Li Jiaming smiled and sowed discord without hesitation: "Brother Zhiyuan, it's Tim Kugel, and Son Masayoshi is your largest shareholder, and they will all be very interested in investing in HH." IMHO, Yahoo has been out of your and David's grip since you accepted SoftBank's last $100 million funding round. ”

"No, it's impossible for us to agree to any deal that benefits our competitors. ”

Li Jiaming got up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to say goodbye: "Brother Zhiyuan, then I'll go to Tim's again?"

The deal is not benevolent, Yang Zhiyuan also said politely: "Good luck, lunch together?"

This person is very good as a friend, at least he knows that he will blush if he breaks his promise, Li Jiaming joked: "I came to your territory, of course you invited me." Isn't it damaging your reputation if I don't eat it?"

"Okay, I'll treat you to Thai food. ”

Li Jiaming smiled and left, went straight to find it, and made a final effort.

Sure enough, Yang Zhiyuan, as the spiritual leader of Yahoo, is at the peak of Yahoo and has a huge influence on the company. Even though Lee tried to speak, Tim Coogle politely declined his investment offer. Son was very interested, but unfortunately his voting power was not enough to veto Yang's decision.

"Mr. Li, do you think the search engine has a future?"

Since Yahoo doesn't give a chance, Li Jiaming also made a haha on the phone and said toughly: "You Yahoo (Huaguo) start to be a portal, we have to fight back, right?"

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiaming knew that he had no chance, at least he had no chance before the Internet bubble burst, but he also had to go and talk to others a few times to lay the foundation for future investment.
