"I know you well. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Yang Zhiyuan said, he could guess the purpose of Moritz to meet him today.

As a decision-maker at Sequoia Capital, Mori's investment in Yahoo is a proven success story.

It can be said that investing in Internet companies, Morrico has tasted the sweetness, so he is very interested in the recent development momentum of Qiandu Search.

The reason why Moritz made an appointment with Yang Zhiyuan was also because Sequoia Capital was also searched for financing plans by Qiandu.

But again, he was frightened by the valuation of 100 million US dollars, which is nearly double their valuation, and this is the first financing that Qiandu Search has made public.

Therefore, out of prudence, Moritz needs to learn about the situation of the Qiandu search team from Yang Zhiyuan.

"Yahoo isn't going to invest in Qiandu Search?" said Morrico with interest.

Yahoo also started as a search engine, but has now shifted its focus to being a web portal. Therefore, it is not impossible to cooperate with Qiandu Search.

After all, the current performance of Qiandu Search is quite good, especially with two technical patents of "hyperlink technology" and "web page rating", which are the current technical advantages of Qiandu Search.

It turns out that the convenience of the search engine and the quality of the search results service provided by Qiandu Search are impeccable.

The only concern is that a company specializing in Internet search engines has too few revenue streams. At present, only a small amount of revenue can be collected through the provision of search results services, and there is no new source of income.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yahoo has made a change, and it is difficult for the same company that specializes in independent Internet search engines to survive.

For example, companies with their own search engines are basically designing and developing their own portals, and many companies are eyeing Yahoo's transformation.

Netscape has succeeded in making browsers, so many people make browsers, and Wei Soft also developed its own browser because it saw the market value of browsers.

Now, Yahoo is going a different way, exploring the possibilities of the portal, and many people are staring at it. If Yahoo succeeds, there will be many more chasing to join the team.

"Yahoo is currently in a critical period and has no other investment plans. But I am personally optimistic about Qiandu Search, and I may consider cooperating with them if I have the opportunity. Yang Zhiyuan said.

After that, Yang Zhiyuan truthfully told Morric about his views on the thousand-degree search and Wang Zhiyuan.

"How's that?.... Are you going to invest in Qiandu Search?" Yang Zhiyuan could see that Morric was very interested in Qiandu Search.

Moritz took a sip of coffee, smiled, and said, "It's not decided yet." However, I am a little interested in what you call Wang Zhiyuan. ”

After separating from Yang Zhiyuan, Morric asked his assistant to make an appointment to meet Wang Zhiyuan for him.

As a result, Wang Zhiyuan received two unexpected phone calls at noon that day, namely Weisoft and Sequoia Capital.

"Whew...."Wang Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. If you really let Thousand Demon Technology eat more than 10 million US dollars in financing, it will be enough.

In the evening, Wang Zhiyuan asked Li Yanhong and Zhou Wenhui to come to dinner, and then told them about it!

"Are you sure you're not joking?" Zhou Wenjie thought Wang Zhiyuan was really joking.

"That is, now that our financing plans have been announced, but we have not received an answer from an investor, you don't need to comfort us. Li Yanhong's tone was still a little displeased, and he still couldn't understand the reason why Wang Zhiyuan insisted on his valuation.

Wang Zhiyuan didn't care, it was normal to have disagreements at work. He smiled and said, "I'm not joking, it's true." Meet with Gates the day after tomorrow, and then meet with Sequoia Capital the day after. Which of you two is going with me?"

"Really not joking?" Zhou Wenjie and Li Yanhong heard Wang Zhiyuan say this clearly, not like a lie.

"It's more real than a gem!" Wang Zhiyuan replied affirmatively, "Which of you is going with me?"

Zhou Wenjie and Li Yanhong were excited, you look at me, I look at you, but then Li Yanhong was a little embarrassed and said: "Just Wenjie and you, I still have important work at hand that has not been completed." ”

Zhou Wenjie looked at Wang Zhiyuan helplessly, and the atmosphere became awkward in an instant.

"This time I went to the interview, I was sure of Wei Soft, but Sequoia Capital was not sure if it would be successful. However, I will do my best. Wang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "By the way, you ask the company's managers if they are willing to participate in this financing, and the minimum investment capital needs to be 1 million US dollars." ”

....

In the end, Li Yanhong and Wang Zhiyuan went together to discuss financing with Weisoft and Sequoia Capital.

Fortunately, Weisoft decided to invest 8 million US dollars in Qiandu Search, and Sequoia Capital invested 5 million US dollars.

Afterwards, Li Yanhong apologized to Wang Zhiyuan and said: "Zhiyuan, I'm really sorry, I should choose to believe you." ”

Wang Zhiyuan looked at Li Yanhong's appearance and smiled, and said, "You don't have to be like this. To be honest, I wasn't absolutely sure before, and I was also surprised that Wei Soft could have such a large investment, and Sequoia Capital also made up its mind because of Wei Soft's participation. ”

"The only reason that supports me to insist on a valuation of 100 million is because I believe in Qiandu Search and believe in your ability!"

"Besides, isn't it normal for this kind of thing to have disagreements?.... So you don't have to take it to heart. ”

Li Yanhong smiled, patted Wang Zhiyuan's shoulder, and said, "Then I won't be polite to you." By the way, how did you get Visoft to invest in Qiandu Search?.... You're not going to find a system vulnerability for someone else, are you?"

"How is that possible.... Their software is still excellent. I wrote a letter to Gates earlier and gave him a glimpse of the glorious future of our Thousand Degrees Search. ”

"Damn, forget it if you don't say it!" Li Yanhong joked, he was not interested in this matter, and mentioned this matter just to resolve the embarrassment.

"By the way, this financing of 20 million US dollars is enough for the development of Qiandu Search?.... We can't afford to lose sight of the investment in technology research and development. Wang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said.

"Rest assured, most of the funds from this financing are used for technological innovation and new product design and development. Innovation is the foundation of Qiandu Search, and I firmly believe that. Li Yanhong said confidently.

"I really didn't misread you, I believe you will create a miracle of the Internet with a thousand degrees of search!" Wang Zhiyuan said sincerely.

"Haha.... I didn't misread you, and I underestimated you. But, I will believe you in the future!" Li Yanhong was a little sensational.

Qiandu Search has finally landed on financing, although only Weisoft and Sequoia Capital participated, but it was enough.

I believe that after financing, Qiandu Search will take off quickly!

Wang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong both firmly believe in this because they are there.

.........

In Mountain View, California, on Sunday morning, in a café, three young men in their twenties sat down.

They were Craig, Paige and Brin, and the trio sat together over elegant coffee.

"Craig, what happened to us out for coffee today?" Brin asked, putting down his coffee cup.

Paige also looked at Craig, wondering what was going on. Although he is a bit introverted, he is very keen on what he likes to do, he is good at product development and design, and he likes the Internet industry, especially in the Internet search.

"Paige, Brin, you know what?.... The company's financing plan has been approved by Visoft and Sequoia Capital. ”

After saying that, Craig looked at the two of them and found that Paige and Brin reacted flatly, especially Paige was quite calm.

Craig was suddenly anxious, "Aren't you surprised?.... That's a valuation financing plan of 100 million, and it's a big company and a powerful investment company that is willing to invest, how incredible it is!"

Craig's expression was excited, and he felt like a miracle.

Paige, who doesn't like to talk, said, "Is this unexpected?"

Brin smiled and nodded, agreeing with Page.

"Hey, I said you guys.... Do you agree with this valuation?" Craig was surprised and incredulous.

"Qiandu Search is worth this valuation.... But I appreciate the person who proposed a valuation, I heard that Wang Zhiyuan, the majority shareholder, proposed it?"

"This Wang Zhiyuan is very visionary, knows the Internet very well, and has a lot of means!" Brinn admired Wang Zhiyuan a little.

"Hehe.... It seems that my vision is too low. Craig smiled helplessly.

Brynn looked at Craig and said, "Let's not talk about that, tell me why you asked us out today." ”

"Okay. Craig shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's still related to this matter, I heard Zhou Wenjie say that the managers of this financing company can also participate, but a minimum of one million dollars is required to participate." This will be announced at a meeting next week, what do you think?"

"This is interesting, the company did not win the investment of Weisoft and Sequoia Capital before attracting management investment, and now the financing situation has been decided, but it has to open financing to the management.... Is this a kind of self-confidence on the part of the company?" Brin was slightly startled.

"You're right, but the bar is too high!" said Craig, and now a million dollars is not so easy to scrape. Even he himself had to scrape together to be able to make them all.

"What are you going to do?.... I want to go back and talk to my family. Page said. He is willing to invest in Qiandu Search, which is also his optimistic about the company's performance.

That's what I mean. "Brin and Page mean the same thing.

Craig grimaced and said, "I'll go back and figure out a way too!"

It's not their impulse, it's their inner passion and confidence in the Internet!

....

"Hey, Xiaojuan. Wang Zhiyuan walked home early in the morning and made regular phone calls, and it has been more than two months since he went abroad, and he is quite homesick.

It's been a year since he came to this world, and only the home in Binhai can make him feel at home and feel the warmth of home.

It wasn't Yang Xiaojuan's voice on the other end of the phone, "Hey, brother-in-law!"

"Damn, why are you kid.... Ask your sister to answer the phone. It turned out that it was his brother-in-law who answered the phone~ Yang Guojian, Wang Zhiyuan was a little disappointed.

"I said brother-in-law, I won't treat you like this?.... My heart is dripping blood!" Yang Guojian said pitifully.

"Don't come to this set, call your sister to answer the phone. Don't waste time, international calls are very expensive!" Wang Zhiyuan urged, and the two big men Yang Guojian had nothing to say.

"My sister is feeding Kiki and she doesn't have time at this time. Brother-in-law, why don't you call back later?" Yang Guojian said.

"You kid went to my house to eat again, did you bring a gift, you can't eat white rice, right?" Wang Zhiyuan joked, since Yang Xiaojuan is not free now, he has to chat with his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, you are getting more and more picky, didn't you say that you don't need to bring gifts when you come to your house?" Yang Guojian heard Wang Zhiyuan's words, and there was a black line on one end.

"I said, why don't you grow up, you can't hear what polite words are?" Wang Zhiyuan said angrily.

"I don't care, you said it anyway. "Yang Guojian's specialty is thick skin.

"Okay, no kidding you. How have you found Yang's food recently?" asked Wang Zhiyuan.

"It's not bad, the vegetable oil, noodles and rice of the Arowana brand have begun to enter the market. In particular, the sales of Arowana oil are very good, by the way, Dad also asked me to thank you for him. "Yang Guojian's recent work in Binhai has been smooth, and Yang's Food has gained a firm foothold in Binhai.

"Will my father-in-law say this?" Wang Zhiyuan didn't believe it, his father-in-law loves face very much, and it is normal for his son-in-law to contribute to him.

"Hehe.... All right. On behalf of Yang, I thank my brother-in-law and thank my brother-in-law for his help. Yang Guojian said that in his opinion, if there was no Wang Zhiyuan, the Yang family might have been finished long ago, how could there be today's scenery.

"You are too outward-looking, I am your brother-in-law, your father's son-in-law, how can I not help you!" Wang Zhiyuan said.

"Guojian, I still have to prepare a shower for Kiki, so I won't answer the phone. Help me ask when your brother-in-law will be back. Yang Xiaojuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother-in-law, did you hear that?" said Yang Guojian with a smile.

"I heard it, you tell your sister to come back when you're done in the past few days. Wang Zhiyuan lacks confidence and has some inexplicable weakness.

Yang Guojian asked in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, shouldn't you find a foreign girl outside?.... You can't be sorry for my sister!"

"Damn, guess what. I'm really busy, tell your sister not to think about it!" Wang Zhiyuan is so depressed, the conscience of heaven and earth, he definitely didn't eat wild food!

It seems that she hasn't been home for a long time, and Yang Xiaojuan began to think more. This is also to blame Wang Zhiyuan for saying several times that "I can return to China in a few days", but he broke his promise every time.

If you open up abroad and at home, you can't blame Yang Xiaojuan for thinking too much. Even if Wang Zhiyuan finds a foreign girl, she is far away and has no way to take care of it, and she has to take care of Qiqi, and she can't pull away.

chatted with Yang Guojian for a while, but Yang Xiaojuan never came to answer the phone. Wang Zhiyuan knew that Wang Zhiyuan probably thought too much.

hung up the phone, cleaned up, Wang Zhiyuan went out and went to Qiandu Search Company with Zeng Liqing.

Today is an important day, the day when the investors of Qiandu Search sign the contract.

In other words, this round of financing is only one step away from success.

"Teacher Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Li Xiaoyu stood at the door of Qiandu Search Company, and when she saw Wang Zhiyuan coming, she greeted him from afar.
