On June 7, 1997, the SoftBank Group, represented by Masayoshi Son, invested a total investment of $400 million in Blogger, eBay, and ICQ, which shocked not only Europe and the United States, but also the domestic news media. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info has injected a bunch of fuel into the increasingly hot Internet industry, injected a dose of stimulant into many companies engaged in the Internet industry, and many people in the industry are also 100% invested in order to be recognized by venture capital institutions.

The protagonists of the report, SoftBank and Son Zhengyi, are indeed popular in China, especially Son Zhengyi, and the media have put the title of "Internet Godfather" on his head, and Liu Dashao is a little envious and jealous every time he sees this. However, if he wants to say that he stands up and shows that he is the behind-the-scenes owner of Angel Capital and Phoenix Capital, he is unwilling, and he does not agree to give up the opportunity to make money for the sake of his reputation, and to kill Sun Zhengyi.

Liu Dashao, who was very poor in his previous life, knew that this was an era of money and capital. Reputation can't be eaten!

The protagonists in the report are not only SoftBank and Masayoshi Son, but also the world-famous Blogger, eBay, and ICQ. Someone calculated that according to the valuation of Blogger and eBay at $500 million, and ICQ at $800 million, then each user of Blogger is worth more than $50, each user of eBay is worth $100, and each user of ICQ is worth $25.

Auction websites, blogs, and instant chat software in news media reports have also sprung up like mushrooms in a short period of time, which Liu Si could not estimate.

In a sense, the auction website is C2C, and judging from the current logistics, infrastructure, and road conditions in China, C2C has developed too early, so don't worry too much. But there are too many competing companies in blogs and instant messaging, which Liu Si didn't expect, and it can be regarded as self-inflicted, but fortunately, he has funds and killer features, so he is not too worried.

Liu Si heard the news that Jeff had reported to him that Masayoshi Son had invested $400 million in Blogger, eBay, and ICQ on behalf of SoftBank Group. In this regard, he is very happy, especially SoftBank's public relations in the United States is very enviable, and now it is tied to a warship, which is naturally worth rejoicing.

Of course, he will not be particularly happy, after he successfully invested in eBay and ICQ, he knew that the future was in his own hands. Now that the fruits of this harvest have been predicted for a long time, it is natural that they will not be particularly happy.

Now his business is still focused on several domestic companies such as Weimei Daily Chemical, Xinyuan Properties, Vivo Technology Co., Ltd., and Meizu Electronics Co., Ltd., and he has asked Zhou Chang Dazheng Security Department II, Lin Yushan Times Real Estate, Robin Li, Baidu Technology Co., Ltd., Haodian Co., Ltd., Li Haiping, Alibaba Network Technology Co., Ltd., and Zhang Zhidong Penguin Technology Co., Ltd.

Compared with the weather in the United States, the weather in Shantou today is not very good, but Liu Si is in a good mood.

This time is the most glorious era in Shantou, which can be seen from the crowds and busy traffic of Shantou International Hotel. Of course, it can also be seen from the economic data released by the government that this era is the best era for Shantou's development.

The period from 1993 to 1998 is considered to be the "golden five years" with the best development momentum and the most prosperous economy in Shantou. Shantou urban residents' savings deposits from 55. 900 million skyrocketed to 284. 200 million, an increase of more than 4 times; The savings deposits of rural residents increased from 1.4 billion yuan to 66 percent. 300 million, an increase of 3. 7 times, while the average savings deposit of residents in the country increased by only 2 during the same period. 6 times. The growth rate of Shantou residents' deposits is much higher than the growth of GDP, investment and exports. In fact, these phenomena of "hiding wealth from the people" all come from the underground economy that statistics cannot reflect.

Some people believe that Shantou's subsequent decline began with the "807" tax fraud series of criminal cases, the "815" smuggling criminal case, and the "9902" local financial crime case that suppressed the underground economy.

This is the best era in Shantou, Liu Sidu can see it, especially the double-decker buses that are not common in China later, those smiling Shantou people who have nothing to do sit back and forth all day long. As well as the snack bars and ice cream parlors that are not common on the street, happy smiling couples, hard-working and smiling workers, and leisurely smiling businessmen, everything has such a Hong Kong flavor.

"It's a good time!" Liu Si muttered to himself, turned his head with a smile, and beckoned to Chen Qinfa, who was looking at the door, indicating his position.

"The Spiral Palace invites the moon! I must have eaten a big meal today, and Mr. Liu is afraid that he will break the bank. As a native of Shantou, Chen Qinfa can't have never been here, but he exaggerated in his words, the buffet and tickets don't cost much, but it takes a lot of time and effort to queue up to buy tickets.

On February 28, 1988, the International Hotel "Xuangong" was officially opened to the public. "Due to the limited capacity of the restaurant, for the sake of safety, the hotel has set up a 'Spiral Palace' ticket point in the lobby, and many citizens are queuing up to buy tickets for a glimpse of the only high-rise revolving restaurant in eastern Guangdong.

It is an absolute pity not to come to Shantou to go to the 'Xuangong' for buffet breakfast. It was a wonderful feeling that is worth savoring all the time, not only to be able to eat very authentic Western food, but also to see the whole view of Shantou city, but also to feel the magic of the revolving restaurant, which was very modern at the time.

In addition to the Spiral Palace Inviting the Moon, in 1991, the monthly magazine "Friends of Learning", the Propaganda Department of the Shantou Municipal Party Committee and the Shantou Municipal Construction Committee selected the "New Eight Scenic Spots of Tuo Island", which are "Viewing the Sea from the Long Corridor", "Overlooking the Floating Pavilion", "Yingta Flowing Clouds", "Xuefu Hanqing", "Beibiao Peeping Sun", "Fengtan Splashing Jade", "Rotating Palace Inviting the Moon", and "Paradise Fun".

"New Eight Views of Tuo Island" Liu Si had nothing to do yesterday, so he naturally accompanied Liu's father and led a group of bodyguards to go around, and the environment was really good.

"The eight scenic spots of Shantou live up to their reputation, standing on a high place, the scenery of Shantou can be seen at a glance, which is indeed a fortunate thing." A buffet at Shantou Hotel doesn't cost much, so Liu Si doesn't talk about whether he can break the cost or not, but is full of praise for the revolving restaurant on the top floor.

"That is, you don't know the grand scene of the Shantou Eight Scenic Spots selection event, it was a grand event. Being able to stand out from the sixteen candidate scenic spots in Shantou City, the scenery and charm are indeed worthy of the pride of our Shantou people. Chen Qinfa is full of nostalgia for the grand occasion of the selection of Shantou Eight Scenic Spots in December 1990 ~ mid-January 1991.

"Well, it's the best of times." Liu Si sighed for a while, the imbalance between the east and the west, the north and the south of the reform and opening up in the 90s, whether it is the commodity economy, or innovation and entrepreneurship, will make some achievements. Not to mention the opportunity to get rich in the financial markets in the mid-90s.

"Well, it's a good time." Chen Qinfa also believes that this is a good era, and Mingchen Company has developed with the help of this opportunity, and he deeply agrees, "When is Mr. Liu going to sign an investment agreement with Mingchen!" ”

Anyone who has studied economics knows that capital occupies an absolute position among the factors of production. Mingchen wants to develop, it does need a lot of money, of course, the reason why he agreed to this condition is mainly because Liu Si gave the condition that he could redeem the company's shares at the original price after five years, so that he could not refuse.

"There is no panic in signing the agreement, but there are two points that need to be explained: first, after Weimei Daily Chemical invested in Mingchen, before Mr. Chen redeemed his shares, Mingchen nominally belonged to a subsidiary of Weimei Daily Chemical, and his operation could be limited and independent; Second, I invest in Mingchen, and then allow Mr. Chen to redeem the company's shares at the original price, then Mr. Chen must serve as the president of Weimei Daily Chemical, and do his best to do a good job and become stronger for Weimei Daily Chemical, so he must do his best to complete the tasks of research and development, sales, marketing and other tasks of Weimei Daily Chemical products given by the boy. Taking advantage of the time when the hotel was preparing for the meal after ordering, Liu Si also said a few words in a nutshell.

Chen Qinfa has no opinion on this, "No problem, Weimei Daily Chemical has invested in Mingchen, so it should be so." However, Mr. Liu, after 5 years, I can really redeem the shares of Mingchen Company at the original price. ”

"I don't lie to you, don't worry!" 50 million is not much, in exchange for a CEO who understands the daily chemical market, it is also cost-effective.

Moreover, even if Mingchen Company relies on this fund to develop and grow, Chen Qinfa finally redeemed the shares at the original price, Liu Dashao also feels that it is worth it, after all, it is a civilian-funded daily chemical enterprise, or Chinese!

"Let's eat!" Liu Siyu caught a glimpse that the waiter had already put things on, so he quickly stood up and cleaned up the table, "Let's help together and put things on the ground." ”

During the meal, Chen Qinfa wanted to speak from time to time, but was immediately interrupted by Liu Si clinking glasses and picking vegetables, and he finally saw the style of bandits.

After lunch, the group returned to the hotel suite to do business. However, because Weimei Daily Chemical is still being handled by the Pengcheng Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the current signed agreement is only an agreement between Liu Si and Chen Qinfa as legal persons or natural persons, and is not an investment agreement between Weimei Daily Chemical and Mingchen Company.

As long as the registration of Weimei Daily Chemical is completed, the currently signed agreement will be immediately converted into an investment agreement between Weimei Daily Chemical and Mingchen Company, and Mingchen Company will become a subsidiary of Weimei Daily Chemical Co., Ltd.

The agreement between the two parties, after the detailed certification of the lawyers hired by both sides, was officially signed with the names of Liu's father and Chen Qinfa, and stamped with the seal of the natural person, and the agreement officially came into effect.

According to the regulations, Liu's father needs to officially inject 50 million funds into Mingchen Company within two days after Weimei Daily Chemical officially signed a contract with Mingchen Company, and at the same time, Weimei Daily Chemical automatically owns 50% of the shares of Mingchen Company, and Mingchen Company is transformed into a subsidiary of Weimei Daily Chemical.

In addition, Weimei Daily Chemical needs to win two CCTV advertising spaces for the two brands of Mingchen Company's "Dihua Show" and "Meiwang" within a month, and the required funds cannot be higher than the average level of CCTV advertising.

"Mr. Chen, you will be the president of Weimei Daily Chemical in the future, you bothered." Liu Si has great respect for Chen Qinfa, "Happy cooperation!" ”

"Happy working together!"
