Chapter 270: Zhou Hongwei
If you think of it, you will do it, Wang Qiang opened the computer and searched it on the same day. As a result, Wang Qiang found that only the well-known stations in the future were chasing waves online, and the rest of the 16K and vertical and horizontal were not yet visible.
Wang Qiang estimates that 16K should be in the preparatory stage, while Zongheng estimates that there is not even a plan yet.
Seeing chasing waves, Wang Qiang suddenly remembered a divine book "Bad Guy" that he saw in his previous life. This book is the work of the great god of chasing waves, Brother Liudao. As soon as it was released, it immediately swept the major lists. At that time, there was no Central Plains Wubai, and online literary works were not very rich, and "Bad Guy" can be described as the first strange book of the underworld, and Brother Liudao is also known as the founding patriarch of the underworld.
Wang Qiang read the pirated physical book of "Bad Guy" in his third year of high school, and the book was circulated in the class at that time, both boys and girls.
Brother Liudao also became a winner in the online literature industry because of "Bad Guy".
Wang Qiang looked at the wave chasing network on the Internet and found that the wave chasing network already has a considerable scale, but he feels that there are many good books without a starting point, and it may be that he has not found it.
If Wang Qiang wants to acquire it now, the only choice he can choose is to chase the waves. Other websites are either not famous, or they have not yet been established, and there are not many options for him.
After making up his mind, Wang Qiang called his uncle Chen Haipeng.
"Uncle, you and Mu Lao help me inspect the wave chasing network to see how profitable it is, and how many registered authors are there?" Wang Qiang said.
Wang Qiang feels that the author is the wealth of an online website, and only when there are more authors, there will be more good works.
Good works and good timing can lead to the emergence of online literature gods.
In the previous life, if there was no fateful recommendation from the starting point, the Central Plains Wubai would not have been so famous.
After all, there are many people who can write, and there are many people who can write well.
It's just that Wubai has better luck. The Central Plains Wubai itself was well written, and when it encountered the most difficult time at the starting point, it was recommended by the starting point as a savior, and the banner was established, so that there was the legend of the last five white gods.
"Okay, I know, I'll arrange for someone to check it out," Chen Haipeng said.
Chen Haipeng didn't know why Wang Qiang was so interested in online literature, but he still believed in Wang Qiang's vision.
After making a phone call, Wang Qiang left the matter behind and continued his dire summer life.
……
Not every reborn person has the aura of a tyrant, as long as the domineering side leaks can convince those Internet bigwigs in the future.
When Chen Haipeng and Mu Qi found Zhou Hongwei of 360, Zhou Hongwei and Qi Zhidong were discussing financing.
Zhou Hongwei and Qi Zhidong, as old employees of Huaguo Yahoo, have their own financing channels. Both of them also registered with the investment company, and when they only had one intention, several investment companies came to the door.
Moreover, now that China's Internet is developing rapidly, China's Internet has also embarked on the old path before the bursting of the Internet bubble in the United States, as long as there is an Internet company with a slightly better finance, there are many domestic and foreign venture capital institutions waving a lot of money and wanting to invest.
Zhou Hongwei and they are not short of venture capital, but in order not to let a venture capital institution occupy too many shares, if there are more venture capital institutions or angel investors who can invest in 360, Zhou Hongwei and they are happy to see this situation.
"I don't know, Mr. Chen, where did you know that our company is looking for a venture capital company?" Zhou Hongwei looked at the Sanqin Han in front of him and felt a little kind, and asked with a smile.
Zhou Hongwei is a student at Anxi Jiaotong University, and he also studied as a graduate student at Anxi Jiaotong University, and has spent more than seven years in Sanqin Province in total, which is half of Sanqin. So when he heard that investors from Sanqin wanted to invest in 360, Zhou Hongwei was very enthusiastic.
But as far as he knows, in Sanqin, there are no famous limelight companies at all.
What's more, because Sanqin is located in the western part of China, which is a relatively backward place in China, and people's contact with the Internet is not as much as that in the coastal areas, so they don't know how to invest in Internet companies.
Therefore, when Chen Haipeng and the others came, Zhou Hongwei was very curious about this Epoch Ventures.
"I heard your name from Wang Qiang, the chairman of our company, and he admired your newly established 360 company very much, thinking that your concept is very novel and suitable for the Internet industry," Chen Haipeng said with a smile.
"I don't know what successful cases you have at Epoch Ventures?" Zhou Hongwei asked curiously.
"Our company has invested in Tencent and Alibaba, and Alibaba's shares are still in our hands, and Tencent's shares were acquired by MIH Investment Company this year, before Tencent went public in Hong Kong," Chen said.
"You still have such a brilliant experience, investing in these two companies should bring you a lot of profits, right?" Zhou Hongwei did not doubt Chen Haipeng's words, because Huaguo's Internet companies said too much and said a lot less, as long as they wanted to inquire, they would soon know whether what Chen Haipeng said was true.
"Alibaba's shares are not planned to be sold by our company at present, and as for Tencent's shares, it has brought hundreds of millions of dollars in profits to our group," Chen Haipeng said without denying it.
"To be honest, our company is very short of funds, but there is no shortage of funds," Zhou Hongwei said: "The lack of funds is that we need funds to develop and grow, and there is no shortage of funds because we have found several venture capital companies before you, and they are also planning to invest in our company." So, why do we want your funds? ”
As the CEO of 360, Qi Zhidong agreed with Zhou Hongwei's point of view, nodded with a smile, and wanted to hear what other views Chen Haipeng had.
"Our company has the experience of investing in Internet companies, and in the previous investment in Tencent and Alibaba, at the most, we owned more than 50% of Tencent's shares, and our company only sent one non-executive director to Tencent when it held so many shares, plus the chief financial officer, and did not participate in the management of Tencent at all. This is very valuable for Internet companies in the early stage of entrepreneurship. Moreover, we are not the only investors who want to be 360, and we do not mind other companies investing in 360 with us if needed. In this way, your company does not have to worry about us controlling your company and doing things against your will," Chen Haipeng said.
These are all things that Wang Qiang said to Chen Haipeng before Chen Haipeng came.
What Chen Haipeng said is exactly what Zhou Hongwei and Qi Zhidong are worried about. After Huaguo Yahoo received enough of Zhou Hongwei's last company, it was because he couldn't give Zhou Hongwei autonomy that he resigned and left with Qi Zhidong, giving up the company he originally started.
Now hearing that Epoch Ventures only invests and does not participate in management, both of them have a sense of joy.
Zhou Hongwei and Qi Zhidong glanced at each other, and when they saw Qi Zhidong nodding, they said to Chen Haipeng with a smile:
"Mr. Chen, you have basically convinced me, I still need to know more about your company, if nothing else, your company will appear in the list of our company's A round of financing"
"Thank you so much," Chen Haipeng stood up and said happily.
After the negotiation was completed, Chen Haipeng planned to leave 360 Company, and later, Chen Haipeng and Mou Qizhong would go to the headquarters of Autohome. In several Internet lists that Wang Qiang gave to his uncle Chen Haipeng, 360 and Autohome are both located in the capital.
"Mr. Chen, do you want me to arrange a car to send you?" Zhou Hongwei saw that Chen Haipeng and they didn't drive over, although he was a little surprised, he still said politely.
"No, we have other things to do, and we have to stay in the capital for a few more days," Chen Haipeng said: "Our group will soon open an office in the capital, which will be much more convenient at that time."
"Then I look forward to working with you"
Zhou Hongwei didn't know if what Chen Haipeng said was true or not, and said with a smile.
"There will be" Chen Haipeng said: "If we can cooperate successfully, our chairman said that he will give you a big gift before your company goes public."
After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Hongwei's reply, he got into the stopped taxi and left. Only Zhou Hongwei and Qi Zhidong were left with puzzled faces.
