Lin Zixuan is going to the UK, and he will go with his assistant and lawyer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not only did he attend book signings, but he also had to sign a lot of licensing contracts.

"Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" will be published in more than a dozen countries around the world next year, and it will be translated into many languages, and the laws and publishing houses of each country will have different conditions.

Although there is an agent to check it, Lin Zixuan also needs to bring a lawyer to review the relevant legal documents.

Before leaving, he received a call from Mr. Ma, the Penguin Company.

The two met at the hotel where Mr. Ma was staying, Lin Zixuan did not know Mr. Ma's intentions, Mr. Ma just tested Lin Zixuan's idea of investing in Penguin.

If Lin Zixuan does not have this will, then there is no need to talk about it, if Lin Zixuan is interested, it is not too late to come up with a shareholding plan.

They chatted over tea in a private room in the hotel.

Mr. Ma first thanked Lin Zixuan for arranging someone to buy him a coat, Lin Zixuan said that this is what he should do, Ma is always a guest of Good Dream Company, and it is the responsibility of Good Dream Company to take care of guests.

With the topic at the beginning, some of the strangeness is eliminated.

In fact, they don't have much in common, Mr. Ma studied computer science in college, and after graduation, he was engaged in technical research, and he was a standard science and technology man.

He prefers to study technology rather than talk about business, but since he started a company, he has to make changes and adapt to this business society.

Lin Zixuan found some topics, such as the return of Haojiang, which the whole country is concerned about.

Today is December 20th, the day of Haojiang's return, and the live broadcast is being done on TV, and the people in China are very excited.

He talked with Mr. Ma about the impact of the return of Haojiang on the economy of the Pearl River Delta region.

It can be seen that Mr. Ma does not pay much attention to economic issues, and Haojiang is not like Xiangjiang and has little to do with the mainland economy.

On the computer side, the two talked about the millennium bug.

Mr. Ma has a say in this regard, believing that the impact of the millennium insect is not as big as experts estimated, and it should be a false alarm.

The Millennium Bug was once considered by experts to be a computer virus, and once it enters the year 2000, the time displayed on the computer will change to 1900, causing confusion in time.

In particular, the system of banks, customs, governments and other departments that use computers will be paralyzed, which will cause huge economic losses.

For this reason, various countries have spent huge sums of money to encircle and exterminate the millennium worm, treating it as a global disaster.

In some movies, criminals take advantage of the Millennium Bug to steal huge sums of money from bank vaults.

As we get closer to 2000, experts tend to calm down, feeling that there is a bit of a fuss, and that this problem is not difficult to solve, as long as the algorithm inside the computer is changed.

Of course, there will be an impact, but it will not be a global disaster, so the people of all countries can welcome the new century with peace of mind.

They chatted for a while, livening up the atmosphere and narrowing the distance.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think about the future development of the Internet industry?" Mr. Ma asked.

"Although the Internet is an emerging industry, it has great potential and is connected with all walks of life, and I am very optimistic about the development of this industry, just like Mr. Ma's instant messaging, there will be broad prospects in the future. Lin Zixuan responded.

"I see that Mr. Lin has a movie website with a good momentum of development, I wonder if Mr. Lin has any plans to continue to invest in the Internet industry?" Mr. Ma said tentatively.

Mr. Ma did some investigations, and the scale of Time.com is not large, but it is professional, and it has a certain influence in the film circle.

This shows that Lin Zixuan does not exclude investment in the Internet industry.

"I don't know much about technology and don't know much about the Internet, so I want to build an online communication platform for people who like movies. As for whether it will continue to invest, it depends on the opportunity. Lin Zixuan said ambiguously.

Lin Zixuan vaguely sensed what Mr. Ma meant, but he wasn't sure.

At this time, the Internet bubble has not yet burst, the domestic Internet industry is still being speculated, the technology stocks in the United States are rising wildly, and people engaged in the Internet industry are very fanatical, believing that this is the best era for the development of the Internet.

They do not perceive that this is the last madness, behind which is the speculation of capital, and is only one step away from the bursting of the bubble.

Lin Zixuan had plans to take a stake in Penguin, he originally wanted to wait for the bubble to burst, but he didn't expect Mr. Ma to come to the door first.

"Don't hide it from Mr. Lin, the number of users of our company's communication software is growing rapidly, and I believe that after the movie is released, there will be a significant increase in registered users, but the company's current funds are difficult to maintain such a large user group, so I would like to ask Mr. Lin if he has any investment ideas. Mr. Ma said frankly.

"With the popularity of the Internet industry today, it's not difficult for you to find investment, right?" Lin Zixuan wondered.

"This industry is indeed favored by investors, but the free model of communication software is destined to be unprofitable in the short term, and it is difficult to find a way to make a profit. Mr. Ma said helplessly, "It's not that you can't find investment, but those investors can't understand the way our company works, and they can't negotiate some conditions." ”

"Mr. Ma thinks I can understand?" Lin Zixuan said curiously.

"Lin is always the first person to propose to work with us, and he can see the development prospects of communication software, as long as there is a large enough user base, it can have a huge impact. Mr. Ma firmly believed, "According to the current growth rate of users, we estimate that the number of registered users of the Penguin will exceed 100 million within five years." ”

Mr. Ma's estimate is a little conservative, as long as the funds are sufficient, this goal can be achieved in less than three years.

The speed of development of the domestic Internet industry will be quite astonishing.

"I am indeed optimistic about the development of communication software, and Haomeng Company and your company have signed a long-term cooperation agreement, and they should help each other. Lin Zixuan nodded, "However, Good Dream Company will not invest in your company, and other shareholders may have different opinions, and it is difficult to reach an agreement." ”

"Well, forget it. Mr. Ma said disappointedly.

"Mr. Ma, don't worry, Good Dream Company will not invest, but I am personally very interested in this investment plan. Lin Zixuan said, "The day after tomorrow, I will go to the United Kingdom to participate in the book signing, and I will come back before the end of the month, and we will continue to talk about this matter at that time." ”

"I have a plan here, Mr. Lin can consider it first, and the specific content will be discussed when Mr. Lin comes back. Mr. Ma took out a document from the leather bag beside him and handed it to Lin Zixuan.

Lin Zixuan opened it and looked at it, but did not agree immediately, it seemed too reckless and not enough to pay attention to it.

In addition, he also needs to consult with professionals to fight for his own interests in this investment plan.

Lin Zixuan said goodbye and left, and Mr. Ma, who was standing at the door of the hotel, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the investment finally had some eyebrows. (To be continued.) )
