"Hey, I said Brother Zhiyuan, you won't come back when the Chinese version of Qiandu Search is launched in China?.... Are you happy to be abroad, you have to be worthy of your sister-in-law who is waiting for you at home, think twice!" Ma Chongshan called and began to count Wang Zhiyuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ma Chongshan participated in the launch conference of Qiandu Search in Zhongguancun and was very satisfied with the current Qiandu Search.

Shake off the shareholders, he is very competent!

"I said Brother Ma, you don't have back pain when you stand and talk, I'm busy working abroad, I don't have time to go home, there is a beautiful wife and baby daughter waiting for me at home, I can't wait to go back immediately!" Wang Zhiyuan was in tears when he talked about it.

"Just kidding, why take it seriously. Brother Wang, you are sorry for you, when you come back, I will invite you to a good place, so that you can relax, okay?.... Hehe" Ma Chongshan laughed a little.

Wang Zhiyuan got goosebumps when he heard this, "Why do I feel that this is a little familiar.... It's like what my brother-in-law said. ”

"Damn, don't bring this, you actually take advantage of me.... You are very unkind, and you are getting worse and worse!" Ma Chongshan was not happy when he heard it.

Wang Zhiyuan is very happy, and the happiness built on the pain of others is very happy. However, it is enough to stop, "You don't want to delay your studies as a student, you have to focus on your studies, you know?"

"Uh...."Ma Chongshan had a black line, tooth for tooth, "It's good to go to school, why don't Mr. Wang go back to school to further his studies?" You can study for a doctorate or something, and you will have more face in front of others in the future!"

"Listen to what you say...."Wang Zhiyuan was really tempted and asked, "Can you help me ask your school if it still recruits elderly students like me?.... It's not bad to have a doctorate. ”

Ma Chongshan snickered in his heart, and as soon as he dug a pit, someone jumped in quickly. He agreed, "By the way, I heard that you valued Qiandu Search at 100 million US dollars?.... Okay, you, I'll raise my hands in approval!"

Wang Zhiyuan heard this, why was there something wrong, "I'm serious!"

"I'm also serious!" Ma Chongshan directly blocked him.

"I won't talk to you anymore. By the way, I'm going to continue my studies, it's serious, you can help me ask about the situation. Wang Zhiyuan was scratched by Ma Chongshan like this, and he always felt itchy about this matter.

"No problem, wrap it up on me!" Ma Chongshan patted his chest and promised, happy in his heart, and finally pulled Wang Zhiyuan into the water.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhiyuan called He Rui again.

"Hey, is He Rui going well over there?" the phone was connected, and Wang Zhiyuan asked.

"Mr. Wang rest assured, everything is going well. As you expected, stock index futures are rising, and the current returns are very good!" I can hear that He Rui has been in a good mood recently.

"By the way, I heard that Qiandu Search has recently found a good one. I admire your vision now!"

He Rui also pays attention to the companies invested by Qianyou Technology in private, except for the outstanding performance of Qiandu Search, the others are also developing quite well.

"In our relationship now, you don't have to flatter me, so you can see the outside. The company that Thousand Demon Technology is investing in now is focused on long-term development, and what you are doing now is the most important thing for the company at present. ”

"As long as our two special investment projects are successful, it is still possible to achieve dozens of times the profit. Wang Zhiyuan smiled quite confidently.

"You're right, I've seen hope. Rest assured, I will work hard to get the job done according to your plan. He Rui said sincerely.

"That's hard work for you. I may have to wait a few days before I can return home, so be careful yourself. Wang Zhiyuan said.

"I'm right, there's one more thing...."Wang Zhiyuan told He Rui about the valuation and financing of Qiandu Search.

This time, Thousand Demon Technology will also participate in the financing, He Rui is a shareholder, and it is necessary to know the details.

"I believe in the valuation you gave, the price of the thousand-degree search value!" He Rui really believes in Wang Zhiyuan now.

.......

The next day, Wang Zhiyuan took Zeng Liqing, Li Yanhong, and Zhou Wenjie to meet.

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Wenjie was surprised when Wang Zhiyuan said the valuation of 100 million US dollars in Qiandu Search.

"Brother Wang, you're exaggerating, aren't you? We just asked a professional appraisal agency yesterday to estimate that it is up to 50 million US dollars. This is still an estimate that only existed after the launch of our Chinese version of the search. ”

Li Yanhong also thinks that the higher the valuation of the company, the better, but who will invest if the valuation is high? Therefore, the valuation of valuation financing needs to be reasonable.

Like Wang Zhiyuan, if he opens his mouth and asks for 100 million, doesn't that scare investors away?

As for Zeng Liqing, Wang Zhiyuan communicated with him before the meeting. But until now, he has not quite approved of Wang Zhiyuan's valuation method.

The scene was deadlocked, but Wang Zhiyuan was not worried at all.

He smiled, looked at Li Yanhong and asked, "Yan Hong, now that Qiandu has searched for the classification of search, Qiandu knows, how are you preparing?"

Listening to Wang Zhiyuan's words, Li Yanhong seemed to understand a little bit about where Wang Zhiyuan's valuation was confident.

.........

"At present, Qiandu Search can provide: web search and news search. and the interactive platform: Qiandu knows that it is also in the final stage. ”

"As for the image search, map search, and Qiandu Tieba are still under development and design, due to the scarcity of funds and talents, the progress is slow, and we can only wait for financing to increase the progress!" Li Yanhong said.

At present, search engines are mainly text searches, and are divided into web searches and news searches.

Image search is rarely used, and map search has not yet appeared.

As for the word "paste bar" and the idea, Li Yanhong was refreshed and excited.

Web search and news search, at present, Qiandu search has been developed and used. Like image search and map search, it is a search service of Qiandu Search.

And Qiandu Know and Qiandu Tieba belong to the social platform of Qiandu Search, and the design and development of Qiandu Know is much simpler.

Paste it, according to Wang Zhiyuan's assumption and conception, it is very complicated. Many of the features and services involved need to be developed and designed, and the user experience must be focused.

As for the domain name of Tieba, the registration and application of trademarks and other related products have been completed. After the post bar is developed, it still needs to be completed after internal testing before it can be launched.

So to accomplish this, there are many talents and funds needed.

When Wang Zhiyuan proposed the concept of map search and sticking bar, Li Yanhong was so excited that he stayed up late and worked overtime for preliminary verification.

"That's right, the situation is the same as Yan Hong said. Qiandu knew that it was expected to be launched in a week, and then we could develop our own customers. Zhou Wenjie was also happy.

Wang Zhiyuan nodded, similar to what he expected. The first major issue at the moment is the issue of financing.

The valuation given by the appraisal agency is 50 million US dollars, which is still the valuation given after the launch of the Chinese version of Qiandu Search.

And Wang Zhiyuan directly doubled and gave a valuation of 100 million US dollars, how could he not let others question it.

If web search, map search, and post bar are all launched, and the results can meet expectations, this valuation is completely reasonable.

However, the relevant development and design have not been completed, and it is uncertain whether the expected results can be achieved. Therefore, Wang Zhiyuan's valuation is quite unreliable.

"Just do what I say, you come up with a new set of financing plans, and make plans based on a valuation of 100 million. Wang Zhiyuan said.

"This...."Li Yanhong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Wenjie.

Who called Wang Zhiyuan is the controlling shareholder of Qiandu Search, and he has the right to make a decision. Zhou Wenjie didn't want everyone's relationship to be stiff because of this matter, and Li Yanhong's opposition was also for the company to be able to raise funds smoothly and Qiandu Search to become bigger and stronger.

And Wang Zhiyuan insists on his valuation so much, which is a bit of a suspicion of deliberately inflating the valuation and making Thousand Demon Technology profitable.

And there is another key point in this financing, it is necessary to find an investor with a background, which is conducive to the development of Qiandu Search abroad.

"And so it was decided.... You have to trust me, you will definitely be able to raise funds. If you can't, Thousand Demon Technology will bear it!" Wang Zhiyuan insisted, unwilling to back down.

In this meeting, Wang Zhiyuan made a strong decision on the financing valuation of Qiandu Search.

After the meeting, Zeng Liqing followed Wang Zhiyuan and said: "Mr. Wang, if there are no other investors to participate in the financing, we will really have to bear the entire financing amount?.... That's more than 10 million dollars in financing!"

"You put a hundred hearts!" Wang Zhiyuan did not explain much.

"Alas...."Zeng Liqing knew that this matter could not be changed, and sighed in his heart.

....

A week later, Qiandu knew that it was officially launched.

At the same time, Qiandu Search has also made adjustments and made its own search homepage. There is a search window on this website, and there are currently two types of search services: English and Chinese.

Search classification, which is currently divided into web search and news search. Since the launch of Qiandu search for nearly two months, there is also the binding of Weisoft IE browser, and now there are tens of millions of cumulative searches every day, and the results are quite good.

Of course, it will take some time to compare with the established search engine companies.

Presumably, when Wei Soft defeats Netscape, there will be a qualitative leap in Qiandu Search! Wang Zhiyuan speculated like this, of course, history is also changing because of him, and the specific results cannot be accurately predicted.

But the general environment is unlikely to change quickly, and perhaps only partially.

Today, Qiandu knows that it is online. As a social platform, it is still a new thing to be born on the web.

It is impossible to achieve good results all at once, but it is certainly adapted to the market demand. Therefore, it needs to be done step by step.

In the afternoon of the same day, the headquarters of Weisoft, a small conference hall.

Gates is organizing an investment decision-making meeting, and the object of investment is Qiandu Search. They received the plan of Qiandu Search Financing yesterday and the fact that Qiandu knew about the launch.

After two hours of heated discussions, Gates finally persuaded everyone to decide to invest no more than 10 million US dollars in Qiandu Search.

After the meeting, Gates went back to the office. His beautiful secretary asked puzzledly: "President, do we really want to search for investment in Qiandu according to the valuation of 100 million?"

Gates smiled and said, "Isn't this something that has already been decided at the meeting?.... In my opinion, even an investment of 10 million is too little. ”

The secretary was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "Since the president is so optimistic about Qiandu Search, why don't you propose to acquire them?"

That's right, since it's a good company, it's better to buy it yourself, so as to maximize the benefits.

Gates shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the most important thing in Qiandu Search is the existence of Wang Zhiyuan, he is a geek!"

Yes, Gates is optimistic about Wang Zhiyuan. He wanted to buy Qiandu Search, and knew that Wang Zhiyuan would definitely not agree.

"Geek?" the secretary was confused.

Gates laughed puzzled, and then said: "You go and help me make an appointment with Wang Zhiyuan, I need to meet with him to talk about financing." ”

“.... Good. The secretary replied.

....

Also this afternoon, two people were sitting in a high-end café outside Yahoo's headquarters.

One is Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan, and the other is Sequoia Capital's Morici.

Morrig put down the coffee cup and asked, "Presumably, the company has also received a financing plan from Qiandu Search?.... I heard that you have a good relationship with the president and major shareholders of Qiandu Search?"

Yahoo did receive a financing proposal from Qiandu Search yesterday, but when Yang Zhiyuan saw the valuation of 100 million, he lost interest.

In his opinion, because of the cooperation with Wei Soft, Qiandu Search is now blind and arrogant and has no self-knowledge.

........

"I know you well. Yang Zhiyuan said that he could guess the purpose of Moritsu's appointment with 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.
