Chapter 102: Best Match (Part II)
Recommended Reading: Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear.
Wang Zhidong, who took the initiative to visit Li Jiaming, is undoubtedly a person who knows people and a person who knows himself.
"Jiaming, if you want to talk about technology, even if Zhang Zhaoyang is a doctor of MIT, I, a bachelor from Yanyuan, will not be afraid of him. But when it comes to scheming, it's not me talking about right and wrong behind my back, not to mention you and Zhang Zhaoyang, or Zhong Chaocheng, I'm ashamed of myself. ”
Li Jiaming, who knew the other party's intentions, smiled and didn't answer, he knew his own family affairs, although he was generous on the surface, in fact, his inner desire for control was as strong as Lao Zhang's. It's just that he is used to being the boss and knows how to make trade-offs and checks and balances, and Lao Zhang does have that ability, otherwise he would have competed for power a long time ago.
People who can mix their heads, but there is a person who is simple? This senior may be sincere, but the devil knows how much sincerity there is. If he just wants to borrow his own 'business vision', then everyone can work together to make QQ bigger, go to the Yankees to make money, and then withdraw again to create a real foundation that belongs to him; if the other party is really aware of his own shortcomings and wants to establish a complementary relationship with himself, then he can unite sincerely for a long time.
Until now, Li Jiaming didn't believe that he had the so-called 'eight kings' and could make these cattle worship.
Wang Zhidong didn't mention those intrigues, but talked about his glorious past, this time in more detail than the last wine talk. In the third year, solve the problem of incompatibility between the Peking University Founder typesetting system and the four-way 4S system, solve the hardware compatibility and software special requirements of the Founder system, sinicize indos, and use plug-in methods to solve the problem of indos processing Chinese; After graduating from university, he co-founded Xintiandi with his classmates to write "Chinese Star", but he took the initiative to leave because of the power struggle, and when he left, he handed over all the source code and all the development materials of "Chinese Star 1.21" just like leaving Fangzheng;
"I found the most difficult path to walk, others may think that the scenery is quite good, but I walked over, and it was already one scar after another. At that time, Microsoft approached me, invited me to the United States, and promised me good treatment, but going abroad was a way back, and I didn't give up! ”
Li Jiaming knew what happened next: with Zhao Dahe, they established Stone Lifang, and spent three years writing "Richin" (multi-system support environment) to lead the entire industry for more than five years, and even SOHU is now using it.
After the other party paused for a moment, Li Jiaming, who had listened to the gods, handed over a bottle of mineral water and said curiously: "Senior, I heard them say that the source code of the program is the lifeblood of the programmer, why did you hand it over one after another at that time?" ”
"That's my own son, do you think I'm willing to give it up? But I took other people's salaries, and the fruits of my labor were theirs, and I believed that I could write better, and the facts proved me right. Jiaming, a new technology will basically be lost after three or five years, so you must continue to innovate in order to let others learn from you forever! ”
Wonderful!
Li Jiaming couldn't help but applaud and began to believe that the other party did not want to use his own 'business vision', but wanted to complement him.
"In 1995, I went to Silicon Valley twice, and my friends introduced me to several venture capital funds. An investment manager said to me, 'Your company is too small, but your business is very interesting, and if you want to win venture funds, you have to internationalize first.' ’
I thought it made sense, so I hired Robertson Stevens as an investment consultant and carried out a business transformation for more than a year. Unexpectedly, due to policy reasons and some reasons of the group headquarters, these problems were finally solved, and they were pressed and beaten by you, and even the merger with Huayuan made you confused. ”
"So what?"
Wang Zhidong, who had said a lot, took Li Jiaming's 'Hongta Mountain', leaned up and lit a fire and took a few sips, and said very surely: "If you didn't make trouble in the middle, Zhang Zhaoyang would have succeeded, but it was impossible to make Sohu such a scale." You kid is too ruthless, his shots are all yin tricks and vicious, and the tricks hit me at the point. ”
This is not the time to be modest, Li Jiaming said proudly: "Senior, when I accepted Jiang Shicheng and them, I warned you: If it is possible, I will retreat, and when there is no way to avoid it, I will do whatever it takes." ”
"So as soon as I received a call from Zhong Chaocheng today, I immediately came to you. Jiaming, let's work together! You have a business vision and are good at fighting, I have a technical advantage, an excellent team, if we partner, we will definitely be able to do a great business! ”
"Senior, aren't we working together?"
Wang Zhidong, who was eager, waved his hand again and again, stared at Li Jiaming's eyes and said: "No, this is just a cooperation and not a partnership, just like you and Zhang Zhaoyang, after sending the company to the market, you will leave with a lot of money."
I'm not a saint and I love money, but I'm more focused on my career than money!
Jiaming, I was overwhelmed by you, and at first I thought it was Zhang Zhaoyang's handiwork. It wasn't until Sun Wei was just drunk that Dahe heard a little wind that I knew that it was you who was behind the ghost. I just can't figure it out, how can a freshman be so old and spicy? So, I sent someone to your hometown to investigate, and I was shocked by the results. You're good enough, and in partnership with someone like you, I just need to focus on technology, and I don't need to worry about intrigue and.
Jiaming, writing a program is like a mouse stepping on a flywheel, the more you step on it, the faster you step on it. I'm stepping on it now, and I can't stop trying to. ”
It's true?
Li Jiaming, who was determined to gamble, but was accustomed to caution because of his experience, didn't believe it, but Wang Zhidong said very sincerely: "Jiaming, I won't go to the state-owned unit to the company; I didn't stay in Founder, but set up my own company, the purpose is to find a very relaxed working environment and do what I like with peace of mind. In this information age where everything can be replaced and copied, the technology of programmers is too fragile compared to the power to control the company, so programmers are always weak.
If you are a tech-savvy person like Zhang Zhaoyang, I won't come to you for a partnership; If you are someone who is not willing to give up power, I will not come to you to partner, I will cooperate with you at most. Everyone sincerely cooperates to send Liberia to NASDAQ, you control Liberia, I will start anew, everyone goes their own way. ”
Li Jiaming didn't fully believe these words, even if the other party said them so sincerely. It is impossible for people to be without ambition, and it is impossible for them to give up their yearning for power after tasting the taste of power, but it should be true that he wants to be a partner. Changing from a programmer to a boss is not only a matter of ability and psychology, but also depends on whether there is an opportunity.
This benevolent brother was deprived of the opportunity to become a big boss by himself, and this deprivation was at least three or four years, and he could only retreat to the next best thing, fighting for the right to develop technology.
Coupled with his reputation for delegating power, he even gave up control of Sohu, which had a half-foot foot on the NASDAQ, which may have made him feel lucky. People, there are always some obsessive things, so there is a saying that 'it is difficult to buy a favorite'. If you can't be the boss, you can do what he likes to do, which is a good result.
It doesn't matter, if you can partner, you can cooperate, if you can cooperate, maybe after a few years, people have really become a good helper obsessed with technology development?
"Senior, since you are so honest, I will also tell you what is in my heart?"
"Say"
"I don't have much interest in a pure virtual economy like the Internet, so I've been talking about making money, making money, and what I'm really interested in is how to combine the Internet with the real economy. I don't argue with Lao Zhang, I am going to study in the United States, in addition to the factors of the study itself, it is more important to find a way to combine. ”
"!"
Li Jiaming took the initiative to reach over, but did not high-five the other party.
"Senior, I am at the helm of the company, you don't need to worry about anything other than technology, as long as you develop technology according to my plan, okay?"
With a crisp sound, Wang Zhidong reached out and hit Li Jiaming hard, and said excitedly: "Okay!" ”
