There are only neon lights in the bustling city, no moonlight and no starlight, and a black Mercedes-Benz leaves the brightly lit city of Guancheng and heads to the more prosperous deep city.

After inspecting several powerful electronics factories in Shijie Town, Li Jiaming and his wife had dinner at the owner of an electronics factory before driving to Shencheng. After watching the electronics factory for a day, Ma Huateng, whose face was stiff with a smile, also understood what Lifang wanted to do - to make an MP3 that can be connected to the Internet, so that netizens can download music for free on QQ Music.

But he couldn't figure it out, with this kind of domestic environment, is it worth developing an MP3? Electronics factories in Shencheng and Guancheng are blooming everywhere, and how much does it cost to develop a new product, although he doesn't know the specific situation, but it will cost tens of millions to say the least, right? But a new product will definitely not cost 100,000 yuan!

"Dong Li, is this cost-effective?"

Cooked ducks can also fly, and if this guy is not tied to the boat, Li Jiaming is still cautious. This is a big era, yes, but how can the leaders who can sweep the sand and sand stay behind, how can it be easy to match?

"It doesn't matter, I still wish everyone would imitate it, with this thing, there will be a few fewer users. The United States has intellectual property protection, but we don't have it in China, and they have the ability to make MSN music or ICQ music. As long as they are killed, the rest of the companies are not worth mentioning, and they can be dragged to death. ”

Spending tens of millions, just to bring down competitors? Ma Huateng took a breath of cool air, this style is too ruthless. No, it's not just a crackdown on competitors, it's also a crackdown on pirates and record labels. If you continue to do this, who will make music in the future?

Wouldn't it, crocodile tears?

This guy is not a good person, not to mention plagiarizing Li Fang step by step, and also chaining QQ music to their software, which is simply insidious, despicable, and shameless. However, this guy does have a vision, and the piracy everywhere has made pop music go downhill, and if you add such a fire, it is estimated that most musicians will have to change careers.

"Old horse, if we don't do it, will no one make a music website in the future? I bet that even if we don't, someone will definitely do it. Instead of letting someone else do it, I'd do it. Anyway, when we do this business, we will record the number of downloads and playbacks of those music, and when the company makes a profit and goes public, we will give some compensation to those singers and songwriters. ”

Heckling ghosts, right?

Ma Huateng, who had listened to the cowhide for a day, twitched the corner of his mouth, just in time for Li Jiaming's afterglow to see.

"Don't believe it, do you? When you go to the headquarters as CEO, you can go to the meeting minutes at any time. Our company is different from others, we have to make money, but we have to do things fairly.

Then again, I also have selfish intentions, if there is only pirated copies left on the market, who will make the genuine version? Without those singers and songwriters, even if I defeat all my opponents, QQ Music will still be a dead end in the end. Therefore, it is not only a principle of fairness, but also a long-term benefit. ”

Perhaps, anyway, this future boss is a ruthless character.

It's not ruthless, in fact, it's not ruthless at all, as long as you can monopolize this market, what's it to spend this money and do this dirty thing?

In order to really keep this thousand-mile horse in Lifang forever, Li Jiaming drove the car while turning to his economic strength and threatened: "Old horse, the money earned is spent, and if you don't spend it, you will still save it in the bank?" As long as Sohu is listed, I will have at least hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, and I will smash them all to Lifang when the time comes." There are only two goals, one is to defeat all the instant messaging software on the market, and the other is to open up the connection between the real economy and the virtual economy. ”

Li Jiaming said as he observed Ma Huateng in the passenger cab with his peripheral vision. After a day of water grinding, if he couldn't use it for himself, he had to be released. It is okay to rectify people based on official relationships, but it is absolutely impossible to let people like Zeng Bo overstep their bounds. When a lot of things start, you won't be able to stop it, and you will eventually hurt yourself.

"Hey, old horse, there's something I don't understand. You oicq have been running behind us, with your funds, how can you achieve more than 1.4 million users?"

Ma Huateng in the passenger cab hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "To make you laugh, it is too convenient for you to use Internet cafes to promote QQ, and it is difficult for us to attract users at the beginning." We had no choice but to pretend to be women, take the initiative to chat with the boys, and then pull them into our software. Later, we found that this method worked, so we invited some girls who liked to surf the Internet for free and let them talk to boys, and the software slowly spread. Instant messaging software, the difficult thing is at the beginning, with a certain number of scale, it is easy to snowball. ”

, with all these methods, it's no wonder he can become 'the most cheating boss in history'.

When I arrived at SOHU (Shencheng) Company, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and Li Jiaming and Ma Huateng's team signed the agreement. The salary is far higher than imagined, Ma Huateng's monthly salary is as high as 10,000, and even the other four founders are 5,000, which is a lot higher than Ding Lei, who deliberately stayed in the company to receive Li Jiaming.

As soon as the black paper and white words were signed, Li Jiaming was relieved, compared to Lao Zhang's bull, he finally caught a real big fish. With this paper agreement, I don't have to worry about the Lifang network anymore, and I can go to the United States to study with peace of mind.

Taking the champagne in Lao Ding's hand, Li Jiaming signaled to the five new partners: "Old Ma, Lao Zhang...... If the company finds a profit model, the salary will have to drop significantly, and the company will have to make its financial statements more beautiful if it wants to go public. Lao Ding is here, he can testify that Zhang Fox only has a salary of more than 4,000 on the shoulders of the chairman and CEO of SOHU. ”

Although he regretted not insisting anymore, Ding Lei still couldn't find fault with Sohu's treatment.

"Li Dong, this is not an ugly word but a good word! In the future, Li Fang will become the second sohu, what salary do they need?"

"Yes", Li Jiaming echoed, but instead of clinking glasses with the five people, he said with a straight face: "Hua Teng, you take your team to the north immediately and give you a month to run in the team." If you feel that it is not suitable to continue to work as a technician in Lifang, we will withdraw all of them, and Lifang will rely on you in the future. ”

This is the real cage for birds!

The five of them glanced at each other in disbelief, and suddenly there was a surge of heat in their hearts, and they couldn't help but be grateful: "Thank you Chairman Li for your trust!"

Gratitude for this thing will not last long, and there will be many quarrels and quarrels in the future, Li Jiaming joked and took the vaccination.

"We sohu people may have some quarrels, but they are definitely a model of sincere unity, and they are definitely only able to recognize people and do it!"

"!"

The current sohu is a high mountain in the eyes of these people, and Li Jiaming's sohu system also reminded Ding Lei of the crispness when Zhao Shiqing and Gu Zhenyun left, and couldn't help but raise a glass with these six people.

When everyone finished drinking champagne, Li Jiaming pulled Ma Huateng to the balcony, handed him the pages in his jeans pocket, and cleaned up the last end of his hand.

"Old Ma, do you know these IP addresses?"

Ma Huateng, who was happy, glanced at it, these addresses were all addresses where his company had stolen the server space of other companies. As expected, he did the server thing, and he did it extremely beautifully, and not a single server was pulled down.

Why?

Ma Huateng, who was carried away by happiness, suddenly didn't understand, people can use this thing to report, even if they don't pursue their own civil liability, Tengxin, who has no money to buy equipment, will also be a dead end. Users are very realistic, when your product experience is not as good as other products, they will abandon you.

No, I don't want people to know, unless I don't do it. The behind the whole Tengxin was done by himself, and now that everyone is in the same boat, we have to untie this knot in order to better cooperate sincerely.

"Don't worry, I didn't take it out before the negotiation, I just wasn't going to use it at all.

Hehe, I'm a little ruthless, but being a man is absolutely above board, and I will admit that I did it. I was going to encourage those companies to sue you, not to ruin you, but also to exhaust you. But we were fortunate enough to meet, and I immediately changed my mind and asked Zeng Qiang and them to stop immediately. ”

Is this a reconciliation? But there is no need for it, I have already surrendered.

Ma Huateng, who was hesitant again, suddenly remembered that Li Jiaming told Zeng Bo today that he didn't need to help, and said in surprise: "Because I agreed to sell Tengxin?"

It's okay, but Li Jiaming can't admit it, otherwise he will have a thorn in this guy's heart. People's hearts are too complicated, and he is grateful to himself now, but not necessarily in the future. There are many people with hard wings who leave the company to start a business, and they don't want to be tied up by an Internet company that can let go for several years.

Shaking his head, Li Jiaming, who had a calm face, pointed his finger at himself, then at the other party, and said in a deep voice: "You and I are the same kind of people, at most they have different personalities, but they are both the kind of people who want to do things and can do things." For my own selfishness, I can't bear to destroy people of the same kind like you. ”

After explaining why he stopped using a lie that may not make sense logically, but can actually make people believe, Li Jiaming sighed again.

"Entrepreneurship, who doesn't do something to steal chickens and touch dogs? Or those little white-collar workers, how can they call us 'entrepreneurial dogs'? I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I was the most difficult, I was nicknamed the 'King of Soft Rice' in school and Zhongguancun. Because everything from food, clothing, use, to the house where I live, my girlfriend spends money, and I am the standard soft rice.

Hehe, what's wrong with eating soft rice? Now the people who laughed at me before don't all have to give me a smiling face, and they call me 'Li Dong' one by one, they are all gray grandsons first, and then they can be uncles. ”

At this moment, Ma Huateng's heart was very complicated, and he couldn't tell what kind of mood it was, but Li Jiaming felt very comfortable.

After three years of dating with cattle like Lao Zhang, Lao Ma, and seniors, Li Jiaming had already figured out these people. These people are either cowhide kings, or they have long eyes and brains, and then they are the one in front of them: Sven actually has a bad stomach, that is, Senior Wang is a gentleman. The easiest way to deal with these young talents is to crush each other with financial resources, strength, and power, and then talk about ideals, ambitions, and friendship.

"You know that I studied economics, right? From the point of view of traditional economics, wealth comes from farmland, mines, factories, and the rest of the industries are the redistribution of wealth. Actually, I don't have much interest in Internet companies, I just do this business to make money, I am interested in making products that can be connected to the Internet. I dispatched the underworld forces to scare you, but it was just a scare, at most, it would make you suffer a few lawsuits, and I would not really do it.

The reason why I do this is because I am interested in you as a person, and you have done a beautiful job of chaining QQ music into OICQ music. I will go to the United States to study next year, and I am going to fight with the American devils, but before I go, I must find a person at the helm of the group's Internet company, and you are the best candidate. ”

Studying abroad?

Li Jiaming, who was very proud, touched his glass with him and joked: "If I don't go to the United States to find an opponent and pinch you, who can pinch me?"

Crazy!

However, Ma Huateng, who was half-frightened and half-forced to get on the boat, really couldn't refute it. Regardless of this bastard's black and white all-you-can-eat, his real skills are also first-class: being a portal can throw off the second-ranked China Net, and doing instant messaging and occupying 3/4 of the country, this ability is really difficult to find opponents, at least in the Internet industry.

"Send you a golden word from the old man Taizu?"

"What?"

"Fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with the earth is endless, and fighting with people is even more enjoyable! Brother, internal strife is not a skill, and it is enjoyable to fight to the death with outsiders, and you will like this feeling in the future. ”
