Chapter 153: Baidu
Thinking that he had a lot to do, such as injecting funds into Baidu, Xiao Bowen hurriedly called Zhou Yujing: "Hey! Yujing? What kind of endorsement advertisement you said to me a few days ago, I took it all! By the way, as long as you give money in the future, I will take any job! ”
“……”
"Are you so short of money?" Zhou Yujing asked a little resentfully.
"It's not a lack of money, it's a lack of money, so isn't there an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry? Why don't you help me ask how much it's worth to sleep with me? I'm still the original! ”
"You, you scoundrel!"
Zhou Yujing didn't expect Xiao Bowen to say this to him, which was simply to destroy Xiao Bowen's image and status in her mind.
"Alright! Just kidding! Just tell me who wanted to shoot an ad with me before! ”
Anyway, isn't there an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry? Hasn't 01 started yet? Impossible! Yujing's reaction this week is too big!
"Someone asks you to shoot advertisements for drugs and toilets, do you shoot them?"
“……
All right! I can advertise any medicine, as long as the money is in place! But only if you can't sell fake drugs! ”
Xiao Bowen was also a little speechless, isn't his current fame enough? Why are these ads?
"Advertisement for laxatives, the name of the medicine is Elixir! Because it is homophonic with your surname, I will contact you to shoot it, saying that it can give 5 million advertising fees! ”
"Laxatives, okay, I'll take it, as long as it works!"
Xiao Bowen gritted his teeth and took it directly, didn't there be a laxative called catharsis in his previous life?
"What about advertisements for toilets? Also a fee of five million! ”
"I have to take it!"
What's going on! Isn't there any high-level endorsement?
Hung up the phone, Xiao Bowen's acquisition of Alibaba has also come to an end temporarily, and it is expected that Alibaba will refinance until 04 years, and his own funds should be sufficient at that time, and when the time comes, the 40% Alibaba shares that originally belonged to Yahoo will also be withdrawn, so Xiao Bowen will really be rich in the future.
It suddenly occurred to me that Robin Li's Baidu also started around 2000, and I don't know if these brothers have discussed it in advance, why are they all in the past two years?
It's time to talk to Robin Li, nine months after Baidu's founding, venture capitalist Defengjie and IDG invested another $10 million in Baidu.
In 2001, Robin Li proposed at Baidu's board of directors a plan to transform Baidu into an independent search engine website and carry out bidding ranking.
However, his proposal was unanimously opposed by shareholders: at this time, Baidu's revenue came from providing search technology services to the portal. If Baidu turns into an independent search engine website, those portals no longer cooperate with Baidu, Baidu's immediate revenue will be gone; And the PPC model can't make money right away, and Baidu has only a dead end.
At this time, if Xiao Bowen appears, I believe that Robin Li will fully support him.
DFJ and IDG own 25.8% and 4.2% of Baidu, respectively, and have the opportunity to acquire their shares if they invest more than $10 million now.
Xiao Bowen is very satisfied with this result, and recently invested 30 million US dollars in Alibaba, which is converted into 249 million yuan. Xiao Bowen is left, more than 150 million yuan, and this time he needs at least 100 million yuan.
I didn't expect these Internet bigwigs to start in 2001, Xiao Bowen just wants to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, and for other Internet companies, he still relies on the experience of his previous life to acquire them directly!
Joking about investing and doing it yourself, where do you find these technical talents? It's better to invest directly!
Baidu provides people with a "simple, dependable" way to access information. The word "Baidu" originates from the phrase "Qingyu Case Yuan Xi" written by the Chinese Song Dynasty lyricist Xin Qiji, "everyone is looking for him thousands of degrees", symbolizing Baidu's persistent pursuit of Chinese information retrieval technology.
Baidu's headquarters is in Zhongguancun in the capital, Xiao Bowen said goodbye to Ma Yun and returned to the capital with his godmother Ding Wenli.
The next day, Xiao Bowen went to the headquarters of Baidu in Zhongguancun to find Robin Li, he didn't want Robin Li to find foreign investors again, it would be too troublesome in the future, and now is really the best time to enter Baidu.
First of all, foreign shareholders such as DFJ and IDG simply did not agree with Robin Li's investment in Internet search. And all the foreign shareholders are very opposed.
At this time, if Xiao Bowen directly enters, there will definitely be unexpected effects.
Robin Li was also a little anxious at this time, scratching his ears and cheeks. After returning from studying abroad, he brought a lot of the most advanced Internet search knowledge in the world, and like Ma Yun and Ma Huateng, Huaxia still did not pay attention to the Internet in the early 2000s, there were no big enterprises at all, and big bosses were willing to invest in virtual things.
He had no choice but to look for venture capital cooperation in Silicon Valley, but he didn't expect to be valued by Silicon Valley's Defengjie Company and the old IDG with a capital injection of 10 million US dollars.
But since then, Baidu is not all about what Robin Li said, the style of doing things for foreigners is very different from that of Chinese, so there are many differences of opinion, which can be resolved through negotiation before, only this time it stumped Robin Li.
Robin Li didn't expect that this time, except for his Chinese partners who supported him, all other shareholders voted against, and it seems that it is time to have a break!
Just when Robin Li made a decision to have a showdown with Defengjie and other foreign investors, Xiao Bowen's life-saving straw appeared.
"Hello Mr. Li, there is a young man who calls himself Xiao Bowen looking for you!" Robin Li's secretary said softly?
"Don't you see I'm annoyed now? Let him go, I'm not available!"
Robin Li said a little impatiently, I didn't expect that there would be people who didn't bother him at this time?
"But Mr. Li, he said that there is a solution to your current confusion!"
"The solution to my problem? What a joke! ”
"He only said the last four words, shrink and lead!"
"What? Are you sure he said that? Let him come to me right away! Forget it, I'll go and meet him myself! ”
Robin Li really doesn't understand who will know his problem at this time.
When Robin Li came to the reception room, Xiao Bowen had been waiting for more than 20 minutes.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, the company has been a little busy lately!"
Like many people, Robin Li came up and greeted Xiao Bowen.
"It's okay, Mr. Li is a troubled person, I can understand!"
Xiao Bowen looked at Robin Li carefully, and saw that Robin Li was white and tender, and he was very handsome!
"What do you think you're looking for me?"
"I want to buy all the foreign shares of DFJ and Baidu!" (To be continued.) )
