56,
And at noon that day, Netscape was in the president's office. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"What's going on with this thousand-degree search? Choosing a new company as the search result provider for a new browser product is not like Wei Soft's style?.... You immediately arrange an investigation, I want information about this company!" said Netscape's president to his assistant.
The same thing also appears in several other search engine companies, if it is just a thousand degree search they will not pay attention to it, the important thing is: Wei soft chose a thousand degree search!
At the same time, some Internet companies began to contact Qiandu Search to discuss cooperation.
"It seems that this time we are stained with the light of Wei Soft!The situation has improved too much!haha.... The enthusiasm of all the employees is now unprecedented!" Zhou Wenjie smiled a little exaggeratedly.
Wang Zhiyuan said indifferently: "This is the aura standing on the shoulders of giants, right?"
....
In the blink of an eye, it has been half a month since Wang Zhiyuan came to the United States. Under the influence of cooperation with Weisoft, Qiandu Search successfully opened the market.
Qiandu Search changed its office space and hired some technical talents, and the company more than doubled in size. Therefore, Li Yanhong and they also began to get busy, carrying out new product development and other work. But Wang Zhiyuan was idle.
Today is Sunday, and Li Yanhong is working frantically. Zhou Wenjie took half a day and took Wang Zhiyuan and Zeng Liqing to a leisure ranch.
In the blue sky, a group of white clouds swim, and on the endless earth, the breeze blows and the green waves ripple. Now on this land, looking up at the blue sky, closing your eyes, and feeling the clear and beautiful breath in the breeze.
"Ahh Oh...."
Wang Zhiyuan lay on his back on the soft lawn and shouted, this moment is the first time he has come to this world to feel the clarity of nature, and he is in a comfortable mood!
"How's it going? there's nothing wrong here, right?" Zhou Wenjie was filled with a rare comfortable and relaxed smile.
This time it was Wang Zhiyuan who proposed it, he just said that he wanted to find a place close to nature to relax, but he didn't expect to find a good place.
"Very good! I feel relaxed, I haven't felt such an atmosphere for a long time, it's really indescribably comfortable!" Wang Zhiyuan looked at the blue sky and white clouds, his expression was comfortable and natural, and he was intoxicated by this land.
"Mr. Zhou, this place is really good, it's a good place for leisure. It's a pity that Mr. Li didn't come out with us...."Zeng Liqing still has a sense of distance from Zhou Wenjie, and he speaks very politely.
"Next time, even if you tie him up, you have to tie him up, it's not okay to just care about work all day long, you still have to combine work and rest, and your body is the capital of the revolution!" Wang Zhiyuan said.
"Haha.... Zhiyuan, you reminded me, next time you will definitely pull him out. Otherwise, it's a pity to have such a beautiful scenery!" Zhou Wenjie said with a smile, agreeing with Wang Zhiyuan's proposal.
"Hehe.... Are you kid trying to make it bad? Laughing so obscenely..."Wang Zhiyuan quipped.
"Hehe.... I seriously agree with your proposal, and it is also for Li Yanhong's sake. Zhou Wenjie refused to admit it, and smiled.
Then he changed the subject and asked, "I'll take you on a horseback ride later, and feel what it's like to ride a horse galloping!"
"Horseback riding? I don't know how to ride. Zeng Liqing seemed to remember an unbearable experience, with a little bitterness on his face.
"You won't ride?.... No, it doesn't matter, there are special teachers here, and you can learn it quickly, don't worry. Zhou Wenjie also lay on his back on the lawn, feeling that learning to ride a horse was very simple.
"Yes, we'll go later! I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, so I'm looking forward to it!" Wang Zhiyuan said.
Before he came to this world, he had learned to ride, and his skills were good!
"Are you really going to go? I also learned riding when I was studying abroad, but I didn't. I guess if I don't have this talent!" Zeng Liqing continued to say with a bitter face.
"Of course we have to go! What does it mean for us to come to the ranch and not ride horses? If we don't feel the life of a cowboy, we will regret it. Especially Wang Zhiyuan, this is your first time in the United States, so you should have a good experience of different customs. Zhou Wenjie said.
"Well, I want to feel it too!" Wang Zhiyuan agreed with Zhou Wenjie's proposal.
"Well, now that you've all agreed. I had no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!" Zeng Liqing smiled bitterly.
"Haha.... Looks like you've got a shadow over that. But don't worry, I'll help you break out of the encirclement!" Zhou Wenjie joked.
After that, the three of them continued to lie on their backs on the soft and comfortable lawn, chatting from time to time.
"It's almost time, let's go horseback riding. Zhou Wenjie looked at his watch and said.
"Well, let's go. Wang Zhiyuan stood up and stretched.
Just then, his phone rang.
"Excuse me, I'll answer the phone first. Wang Zhiyuan said hello and picked up the phone to the side.
"Hey, hello. Wang Zhiyuan subconsciously picked up the phone in Chinese.
"Hello, are you Wang Zhiyuan, Mr. Wang?" An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone, speaking English.
"That's right, that's me. May I ask who you are? What is the matter with me?" Wang Zhiyuan thought about it and still felt that he had never heard of this voice, so he communicated with the other party in English.
"Sorry to interrupt. My name is Weisge, and I'm calling you to discuss something with you. Is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?" It turned out that the man who called was called: Weisig. He spoke very politely.
"Weisge?" Wang Zhiyuan still didn't think of this person, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
"That's so much appreciated. That's right, we want to buy a domain name in your hands...."Weisge said.
"Domain name?" Wang Zhiyuan suddenly remembered that he had asked Zhou Wenjie to help register more than 100 domain names.
These domain names are not simple domain names, and at this moment Wang Zhiyuan is curious about which domain name the other party will want.
Weisger: "That's right, we just want to buy your domain name: ICQ, I wonder if you're willing to give it up?"
Wang Zhiyuan heard this, and then remembered who Weisge was. He said tentatively, "I'm willing to sell, but I don't know what price you're willing to give?"
"Thank you so much!" Weisger's voice was a little agitated, and then he added, "We're willing to pay a thousand dollars, I wonder if you're willing?"
Given such a price, it is obvious that Weisge does not know Wang Zhiyuan and his background, maybe he just found the name and contact information of the registrant of this domain name, so he made this call.
Registering a domain name can cost around a few tens to a hundred dollars, and a thousand dollars is a good price now, but of course at a time when the company that bought it was still in its infancy.
If you want to buy a domain name from a well-known company, the price you pay is much more than that.
And Weisg's company is indeed new, and they have developed an Internet instant messaging software called ICQ. When I was ready to register my domain name, I found out that it had been registered last year.
They were reluctant to change the name of the software easily, so they tried to buy it from Wang Zhiyuan at a lower price.
"Sorry, I can't accept this price. "How could Wang Zhiyuan sell this domain name cheaply!
After a brief silence on the phone, Weisge's voice came: "I don't know what price you want?"
Although it is not necessary to use this domain name, it has a deep meaning for him, and he is reluctant to change it easily. And the software is in the stage of preparing for release, so it's really not easy to remove.
"At least one million!" Wang Zhiyuan said indifferently.
Weisge was surprised: "What? a million ?!!!"
It's impossible to think about money and go crazy!!
....
Weisge was surprised: "What? a million !!"
Weisge felt that Wang Zhiyuan was simply a lion, and they had exhausted their own funds by setting up a company to develop this software.
It is also because they believe that the company does not need to focus on profitability at the beginning, as long as it can attract enough customers to use their software, the revenue will naturally roll in.
However, what seemed like a bit ahead of its time at the beginning didn't work out. No investor was interested in this idea, and the first entrepreneur they approached scoffed: "It's ridiculous, you're just a bunch of kids who don't know what a business is." ”
The setbacks did not discourage Weisger, who continued to look for possible business ventures and, on the other hand, struggled to prepare for the launch of ICQ on the Internet from this month, where users could access ICQ software for free on the ICQ website.
"No room for negotiation?" said Wisger, reluctant to give up the name.
"Of course not, I have a proposal, I don't know if you are interested?" Wang Zhiyuan had an idea.
Weisger: "Tell me about it. ”
"I want to invest in your company, in the form of cash and this domain name, I want more than 30% of the shares, I wonder if it is feasible?" Wang Zhiyuan originally did not plan to sell the domain name alone.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and Weisge asked, "Do you know the software that our company has developed?"
Shortly after the software development was completed, the company was registered, and Weisge was shocked by Wang Zhiyuan's sudden idea of wanting to buy shares. Doubting Wang Zhiyuan's strength is secondary, after all, he doesn't know Wang Zhiyuan's background, so it's not easy to judge.
"I don't know, but I'm a person who pays attention to fate, I registered this domain name by accident, and you found me again, this is a kind of fate! In addition, I am an investor and like to invest in companies that I am destined for. Wang Zhiyuan flickered.
Then he asked, "How? Can I join your company? If you just want a domain name, I'm reluctant to sell it." ”
Wang Zhiyuan didn't say: the price of domain names is too low!
"Is it fate? or an investor? He really doesn't know about our company?"
Now their company has indeed not attracted investors, and funds are also scarce.
Out of caution, Wiesig asked: "Are you telling the truth? Our company is just a new company that does Internet instant messaging, and it will not be profitable in the short term." ”
Weisge told the truth in order to test Wang Zhiyuan's sincerity and find a truly reliable investor.
"Of course it's true! And I'm also very interested in the Internet industry, and I also have an investment company, so you can rest assured that the investment is safe and reliable. Wang Zhiyuan said.
"In that case, how about we make an appointment for a time and place to meet?" Weisge made up his mind and decided to meet with Wang Zhiyuan and talk about it again.
"No problem, I'm in Mountain View, California, right now, close to Silicon Valley. Wang Zhiyuan was overjoyed, it seems that there is a drama in this matter.
In the end, the two agreed on a time and place, and decided to meet in detail two days later.
"What good things have happened? Looking at the way you smile, it can't be that you have picked up a treasure, right?" Zhou Wenjie saw Wang Zhiyuan walking back with a smile and teased.
"Something good should have happened! Tell us about it. Zeng Liqing was also curious.
"How could it be possible to pick up a treasure on this grassland! However, it was indeed a good thing. Wang Zhiyuan said, looked at Zhou Wenjie and asked, "Do you remember those domain names I asked you to register for me last year?"
"Domain name?" Zeng Li Qing heard and became even more curious.
Zhou Wenjie reacted and asked, "What are the domain names you are talking about?
Yes, at the beginning, Zhou Wenjie was still curious why Wang Zhiyuan spent so much money to register more than 100 domain names, and now it seems that it is also valuable.
Wang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "That's right, it's still a company that makes Internet instant messaging software." ”
"Internet instant messaging?" Zeng Li Qing looked at Wang Zhiyuan strangely, feeling that he couldn't understand him.
"New companies, that means they can't afford to pay a premium for your domain name. Zhou Wenjie said.
Then he smiled: "I thought you were hit by a pie falling from the sky, but I didn't expect this pie to be too small." ”
"You're right, they offered a thousand to buy from us, but I didn't say yes. Wang Zhiyuan nodded.
According to me, for a domain name for such a small company, a thousand is not bad relative to the registration fee. Zhou Wenjie said.
"Hehe.... They asked me what kind of price I wanted, and I quoted a million directly, but the other party was silent. ”
"Luckily, I gave them another offer and agreed to meet in two days. Wang Zhiyuan laughed.
"Oh?" Zhou Wenjie was curious and asked, "What proposal?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Liqing immediately said, "I guess Wang always wants to invest in this company?"
"Invest in this company, is that so?" Zhou Wenjie somewhat understood.
Wang Zhiyuan glanced at Zeng Liqing and said, "That's right! There is no real Internet instant messaging software yet, and I am very interested in it." ”
"You're going to make a move again, you really can't stop! However, I'm optimistic about your vision! I admire you as a person!" Zhou Wenjie admired Wang Zhiyuan's vision in his heart.
"Yes, I also admire Mr. Wang's vision, and the development of several companies currently invested in is very good, especially Qiandu Search, which has great prospects!" Zeng Liqing said politely, but he was also surprised by Mr. Wang's vicious market vision.
