Chapter Twenty-Seven: Singing and Measuring Rice
"Mr. Zhou is good!"
"Mr. Zhou is good~"
"Okay, okay, everyone's morning."
Looking at the men and women of their colleagues in terms of procedures, operations, planning, etc., passing by in front of me. Then put on a face that was more friendly than before, but there was no lack of good-natured ridicule and jokes, and shouted "Mr. Zhou is good" to himself, Zhou Lixin's heart was still a little uncomfortable, and he was also a little excited.
Because he was a matchmaker and facilitated the cooperation between Ahri Group and Hatsune Network Technology, he was promoted by the big boss Ma Feng to the position of "deputy director of Taobao technology and vice president of technology of Ahri Cloud Search Company".
"Ahri Cloud Search" is the name of the new company that Ma Feng and Gu Mojie will establish after their cooperation. Because this company will be owned by Ahri Group in the future, it is natural to use Ahri as the main name when naming it. Gu Mojie's role in this matter is nothing more than to give hundreds of millions of cash to the other party under the premise of bearing the cost of research and development.
Zhou Lixin, as a half-newcomer who has only been a programmer and project manager in Ahri Group for two years, jumped to this position, which can be described as a rocket speed that rises two levels every year. He naturally knew that his status was completely obtained by his cousin's strength.
A deputy technical director of Taobao seems to be very high, but it is far less valuable than later generations imagined.
First of all, a company can have several deputy technical directors. Even if the original one does not retire, as long as the boss makes a decision and temporarily adds a new deputy director to enter and enjoy this title, there is no problem - it is nothing more than that the treatment must keep up, and the real power does not have to share the profits.
Secondly, Taobao is not the main body of Ahri Group as outsiders think. Even if it's just in the e-commerce space. Ahri's Taobao and Alipay are also independent of each other, and later there was Tmall, so Taobao can only be regarded as a branch of the Ahri Group. At the beginning of 2005, Taobao had only grown for 20 months, which is far less huge than later generations. So, the title of a deputy technical director of Taobao. Ma Feng is still willing to use it to win people's hearts or show sincerity to partners.
The atmosphere of Ahri Group is not hierarchical, and when others see Zhou Lixin, they shout "Mr. Zhou", which is nothing more than a burst of freshness and makes fun of him. Returning to his new independent office and sitting down, Zhou Lixin felt a little uncomfortable all over, and quickly took off the Italian handmade suit he had just ordered a few days ago and hung it on the hanger behind the desk. He is on the short side, often doesn't fit well in branded suits, and now he's not bad for money. Naturally, you need to find an Italian tailor to customize the size.
This kind of clothes will support the faΓ§ade when you take on your new job, and as an IT person, you still have to wear a round neck.
ZHOU LIXIN HAD JUST MADE COFFEE FOR REFRESHMENT, OPENED HIS MACBOOK AND PROCESSED SOME EMAILS, WHEN A GIRL WITH A PUBLICITY PLAN KNOCKED ON THE DOOR, AND THEN PROBED HER HEAD TO COME IN AND ASK FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
"Mr. Zhou, the media that asked us to make an appointment for verification yesterday. It's all here. See you now or later? β
Zhou Lixin took out a wet towel and wiped the coffee stains on his lips, and said with a little surprise: "So fast? Make them wait ten minutes. I'll prepare a little. β
After the successful cooperation between Ma Feng and Gu Mojie. Gu Mojie let out the news on the same day, announced the matter in a high-profile manner, and at the same time let the external media know that he got a large amount of cash.
People in the media circle always have a lot of people who care about science and technology channels and high-tech industry news, and they will naturally rush to dig up materials.
Hatsune Network Technology may not believe the voice of this small shrimp, but as the voice of the Ahri Group on the other side. The credibility is much greater. Moreover, Ahri, as a contributor, is less likely to speak big, after all, if he misrepresents his own expenses, it will also lead to a negative impact on the public's confidence in Ahri.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Lixin, who prepared the materials. In the reception room of "Ahri Cloud Search", I received several friends from the TV station. The marketing planning girl who helped to contact next to her helped Zhou Lixin introduce people.
"Hello to all friends in the media. This is Mr. Zhou Lixin, the new deputy technical director of our 'Alibaba Cloud Search'. In the coming year, he will be in charge of the field of 'Deep Search of Graphic Materials'. Regarding the details of the cooperation between our company and Hatsune Network Technology, if it does not involve trade secrets, everyone can ask Mr. Zhou for verification. β
Several female reporters in their twenties seem to be newcomers to some business channels, and when they see Zhou Lixin so young, at most 25 years old, they can't help but feel a little adrenaline.
"Wow~ Mr. Zhou, you are really young and promising, and you have already achieved the technical backbone of the cutting-edge field of science and technology at such a young age-uh, don't shoot this sentence."
After complimenting her, the female reporter slightly pulled her sleeve at the back photographer and whispered not to turn on the camera first.
Although even if it is filmed, it can be edited when you go back, but if you are seen by others, even if you are an insider, you will be embarrassed after all.
After some gossip, there were reporters who paid more attention to professional quality and began to ask about the drama meat.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard that Ahri Group is ready to invest about 500 million yuan in the development of new user technologies, and the equity of the new company will not exceed half, and in the future, it will take out an amount of no less than this amount to redeem the equity of Hatsune Network Technology - can this news be confirmed?"
Zhou Lixin cleared his throat and said: "This bid is basically consistent with the negotiation conditions of Ahri's side. But more details involve trade secrets, so please forgive me for not being able to say more. β
"Wow, doesn't that mean that within a year, Hatsune Network Technology will get at least 500 million cash inflows? Or maybe even more? And the R&D cost of graphic deep search is still borne by the part funded by Ahri Group? β
"You can understand it that way, too."
The female reporters were unwilling to be sent away by such a conclusion, and continued to dig into the bottom of the matter: "Then why does Mr. Ma attach so much importance to this technology and invest hundreds of millions of dollars to endorse a technology that has not yet been developed?" β
"That's because this technical direction is consistent with the consistent development idea of our 'Taobao'-" Zhou Lixin said this, and the words changed sharply, and he asked rhetorically, "This young lady, don't you know that you usually like to buy clothes?" β
The beautiful reporters were stunned for a moment, and then replied in unison without thinking: "Of course I love to buy clothes." β
"So now are you used to buying clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories on Taobao?"
The beautiful reporters were a little embarrassed. It seems that the answer to this question is not very popular, and he hesitated for a moment before answering: "I don't buy much on Taobao now." β
"Why is that?"
"Because I don't know if it's good-looking, and I don't know how to compare the prices of different stores."
"Then, if our Taobao can do it in the future, you see a beautiful dress in the physical store, and you also try it on, it fits very well. Then take a photo and you can search for the exact same style of clothes on Taobao directly based on the photos, and the price is only half of the physical store, or even lower - will you choose to buy clothes on Taobao? β
Do you need to ask? Absolutely buy, buy, buy!
"We're developing a new technology that will lead to an app called 'Find the Same Model' that will do just that in the future β and much more."
Pretty journalists don't need to ask more questions about technical details. As long as it's a woman, you know how powerful the buy-buy-buy power behind this thing will be in the future. When dealing with women, sometimes they say too many things that they don't understand. On the contrary, the effect is not good, it is better to directly expose the symptoms.
Over time, you'll have to chop your hands.
β¦β¦
The news of the cooperation between Ahri Group and Hatsune Network Technology has not aroused any doubts in the industry and public opinion.
That statement was reasonable. Insiders found that Ma Feng's money was worth it.
Gu Mojie said in a high-profile manner that he has money, and naturally there will be people who will not open the forest.
In the year of "Yuanjia Caocao", Tan Daoji sang and raised sand. What's the picture? Isn't it just a plan to make Hu Qi of the Northern Wei Dynasty mistakenly think that "the Song army has more than enough food, so it will not be pursued"?
Xu Yu asked for food. Cao Cao desperately ended up with the infamy of "everyone in the world said that Meng De was a traitor, and today is true", and he also had to keep his mouth shut, repeatedly using "can support a year", "have half a year's ear", "can really support three months' ear", "only this month's food" prevarication, what is the picture? Isn't it just a plan to make Yuan Shao mistakenly think that he can still last and will change for a long time?
In the case of a protracted war, it is important to have sufficient military rations. But. Letting the enemy know that you have enough food is more important than whether you actually have enough or not.
You have money, but you don't let your opponent know, it's a brocade nocturnal, and there is no deterrent. It will not be able to hit the morale of the enemy.
This is also why Internet companies have to increase the amount several times as long as they raise funds. And if the financing amount is exposed and transparent, and there is no way to fabricate it, they will manipulate the proportion of shares held by venture capitalists, and indirectly blow the market value valuation, showing that they are very powerful.
For example, in later life, a random female anchor took 5 million, and it was clear that the investor accounted for 5% of the shares, but she could also boast that the other party actually accounted for less than 2%, and then her "worth" changed from 100 million to 300 million, and the sensation rose sharply.
According to this kind of play, even if a person only has 10,000 yuan, he can actually hype up a concept of "market value of 10 billion", the key depends on whether there are so many people with low IQ who believe in this conclusion - for example, find an investor, invest 10,000 yuan, and then let the investor declare: I made 10,000 yuan, but I only need one millionth of a share!
10,000 yuan accounts for one millionth of the shares, so isn't 100% 10 billion? From this point of view, any dog can play this kind of gimmick trick.
But in fact, this kind of female anchor may only be worth twenty or thirty million. If you want someone to use 5 million as a marketing gimmick to play with you, that's okay, if you really want others to take tens of millions of dollars to hold large shares, maybe others will run away a long time ago.
Gu Mojie is not so dark. In contrast, his braggart ratio is really the conscience of the industry, and he doesn't even have three or five times the extra boasting, which is almost real.
The layman may look down on Mo Jie for this. But how dare industry experts look down on it?
Of course, Zhou Hongyi will know that Gu Mojie's disadvantage in terms of funds has been reversed.
As long as there is this trend, then the only thing left is to fight. There will definitely be no one who can't survive it, and they will have to stay up for a few months until the food is eaten before they start to do it.
Even if more people die in siege warfare than in siege warfare, as long as the besieging side can't besiege the defender and run out of food, then these damned people will still have to die, and they can't be stingy.
"I can only take the initiative and use some extraordinary means." Zhou Hongyi, who was in the capital, had bad water in his head, and he didn't know what he was thinking. (To be continued.) )
