In 2000, it has to be mentioned that a community website called "Tianya Forum" became popular on the Internet without warning and became a gathering place for elites from all walks of life.

Li Feiteng has only recently paid attention to the Tianya Forum, and he usually finds some high-quality popular posts to read, including this year and last year.

There is no doubt that it is far better to understand current affairs and major events in all walks of life from the Tianya Forum than the three major portals.

At this stage, the three major portals are Qingmu, NetEase, and Soarc.

After a few days of understanding, Li Feiteng learned that Tianya was established in March last year, and since October last year, its popularity has skyrocketed, from 100,000 visits to millions of people, a very lively community website.

He can vaguely remember that Tianya is a super large community website in the future, but Li Feiteng looks at Tianya with the current vision, even if it is very popular, but the value is very low now.

After a brief consideration, he decided to let Hou Jianhua go to Hi Nan to see if Tianya Community Company was willing to become a subsidiary of Qingmu Portal.

The cake of the Internet is very big, and Li Feiteng has no way to eat all aspects cleanly now, and he doesn't need to do this, because a Qingmu portal + Feiteng Internet café alliance + Longteng buckle + Baidu, the combination of these three resources alone is enough to ensure the monopoly position of the Internet company, and he gradually looks down on other small aspects.

……

Hi Nan, Hi Kou.

Inside an office building in Zhujiang Square. Tianya Community Company is still a very small company, with only a dozen employees in total. The investment is only a few hundred thousand websites.

The stationmaster of the Tianya community is named Xing Ming, a young man in his early thirties who wears glasses.

He is eight or nine years older than Hou Jianhua, and belongs to the first batch of Internet entrepreneurial young people like Zhang Chaoyang and Wang Zhidong.

Li Feiteng is a genius dream demon, but Hou Jianhua, who insists on staying by his side, is not an enviable character.

Although Hou Jianhua does not have as much money and capital as Li Feiteng, he is the chairman of Qingmu Portal. Managing a $300 million public company, at just 23 years old, with an annual salary of $1 million. Again, not very outstanding.

At the very least, Hou Jianhua will not give up what he has now and start his own business.

Hou Jianhua still remembers the six brothers who came out of college together: he. Li Feiteng, Ding Jianbi, Qing Kangyu, Bian Liqiang. Qu Jiamu.

Li Feiteng is the eldest brother, and the brothers made an appointment together and worked together, but as time passed, only Hou Jianhua stayed by Li Feiteng's side.

Ding Jianbi did not choose to persist when his eldest brother was in the most crisis, but still started his own business.

Qing Kangyu works as a senior network engineer within Longteng Company. But because of talent problems, he was finally eliminated by others. Li Feiteng didn't elevate him extraordinarily.

Qu Jiamu didn't join in the first place, as for Bian Liqiang, he had already left Longteng, these are things that Hou Jianhua and Li Feiteng don't want to recall, but they can't help but think about it, and there is nothing they can do.

Li Feiteng is going farther and farther, although he has the time and ability to hold classmates and hold some parties, but which classmates can truly communicate and dialogue with him on an equal footing?

It seems that only Hou Jianhua can communicate with Li Feiteng as a friend, but most of the time, he is still a subordinate, talking and communicating with his eldest brother, who is also known as "Li Sanye" and "Li Xiaosan" on the Internet.

"When I go back tomorrow, I'm actually going to a college reunion. Hou Jianhua sat on the flight to Hi Nan, and he muttered to himself.

The college reunion is naturally held every year, but Li Feiteng participates in the anniversary celebration of Qingmu University every year, and when he has time, he appears at the freshman opening ceremony, as a celebrity alumnus, to talk about success to the younger students behind.

What is particularly interesting is that before, although Li Feiteng took a break at Qingmu University and did not even have a bachelor's degree, he was hired by the Department of Computer Science of Qingmu University to become a tenured honorary professor in the department by virtue of his talent and technology.

Hou Jianhua thought blindly all the way, and he finally came to the company in Tianya Community.

I also met Xing Ming, who is in his thirties.

In a small office, Hou Jianhua drank tea and said straight to the point: "Mr. Xing, I am representing Qingmu Information Company, and I sincerely want to acquire the Xia Tianya Community. ”

Xing Ming touched his nose silently, his heart has not eased up now, to be honest, from the establishment of the Tianya community to the present, he has been a little dreamy, and he never thought that it could be so popular.

In itself, in this community, Xing Ming didn't spend much effort and thought, that is, after making the website, it was handed over to a group of people who might not have even met each other to manage.

Later, because of the popularity, I met with some moderators and got in touch, and recruited some employees to help the moderator manage together, or help him develop better website applications together.

However, Xing Ming has no plans to sell the Tianya community, because the purpose of his creation of Tianya is also to make a big difference.

Hou Jianhua saw him thinking, thinking that Xing Ming was hesitating, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Mr. Xing, our Qingmu portal has an estimate of 50 million yuan at Tianya, and we are ready to buy it in full, what do you think?"

Xing Ming didn't hesitate, but he was taken aback by Hou Jianhua's opening of 50 million.

Tianya community company, of course, is not only a Tianya community, now also includes the business platform of Hi Nan online portal and Hi Nan tourism network, in short, Xing Ming's company's initial registered capital is 20 million yuan, and this year, the company can be sold at double the price, which is too exciting.

It is absolutely unexpected to be able to earn tens of millions of dollars back in a year.

When Hou Jianhua saw that he was indeed even more silent, he knew that Xing Ming was a little moved.

Some people may wonder, Li Feiteng said that the price of Tianya Community is relatively low, why did he pay 50 million to buy it?

In fact, the value of the Tianya community is average, but Hi Nan Online and Hi Nan Travel Network are very valuable websites, and Li Feiteng definitely wants not only the Tianya community, but also other companies under Xing Ming.

"Mr. Xing, join Qingmu, I may be able to help you get some preferred shares. Hou Jianhua said with a smile. (To be continued......)
