Chapter 43 Lu Xi's Jian yì sent Yao Xiuqing, afraid that Wan'er would lose her temper if she didn't see her mother for a long time, Lu Xi took Wan'er to buy a VCD first, and then bought a few cartoon discs back, planning to accompany Wan'er to watch cartoons in her spare time.

It was almost noon to send the things back, and Lu Xi took Wan'er to Jiaotong University to meet with Hong Xuedong, and the cooperation with the Internet ants had been negotiated, and building a good relationship to persuade Hong Xuedong to join Luzhu was his next goal.

The men's dormitory is unimaginably chaotic, especially for a technical man like Hong Xuedong, a collective dormitory for eight people, and it is difficult to get a place if it is not cleaned regularly. Lu Xi came over with Wan'er, Hong Xuedong was lying on the bed in the lower bunk with a book, the open space between the beds on both sides was full of sundries, and several other people were playing chess around a square table, they were used to this kind of life.

"Brother Hong." Wan'er pinched her nose when she entered the door, and Lu Xi didn't go inside, standing at the door and shouting.

Hong Xuedong raised his head and pushed his glasses up, was stunned for a while, and laughed: "I just said that you can't be eighteen years old, this is your daughter, right?" ”

Lu Xi took her to meet a stranger, Wan'er was already unhappy, and when she heard Hong Xuedong speak, she pouted again, and she didn't dare to reply if she wanted to refute, so she reached out to pull Lu Xi's ear.

Even in winter, the smell in the dormitory still makes people unable to stay for a long time, Lu Xi greeted the other two people he had seen when he came last time, and asked Hong Xuedong to go out to chat.

Hong Xuedong put the book on the bed, turned around and followed Lu Xi downstairs, saw the car parked at the door of the dormitory, turned around twice and asked with a smile: "You do this, when will you be able to afford this car?" ”

In addition to portals and e-commerce, other related Internet industries are marginalized, and Hong Xuedong can be regarded as being in this circle, relatively understanding the current situation of Internet companies at home and abroad.

"Brother Hong can do it, there is no hope in a year, but after two years, I can always afford to buy a scooter." Lu Xi said with a smile, but he didn't explain much.

In today's international network environment, relatively speaking, if the download tool is done well, the prospect is quite good, of course, the market is bigger in advance, for example, the Internet Express developed by Hou Yantang after the network ants in the previous life, independent development, independent operation, rapid expansion with small capital, and profitability within a year, of course, it can be rapidly expanded with small capital and profitable is also due to the network environment of the United States.

Hong Xuedong shook his head and smiled, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking, seeing him spinning around in the car, Lu Xi smiled and asked, "Can you drive?" ”

Hong Xuedong nodded and smiled, Lu Xi threw the car keys over, and said, "Try it for you, I will be passengers with Wan'er." ”

After taking the car keys, Hong Xuedong smiled and said, "I'm going to pick up a friend, don't you mind?" ”

Lu Xi was happy that Hong Xuedong didn't treat him as an outsider, and the relationship between the two was closer, and it would be easier to pull him into the company.

The car drove downstairs to the girls' dormitory, Hong Xuedong took Lu Xi's mobile phone and called the dormitory, turned around and smiled: "My girlfriend." ”

Lu Xi stared at the door of the girls' dormitory twice, deliberately opened the topic, and said: "I know that Brother Hong developed this software only for his own convenience at first, but I expect that this market will be very large in the future, Brother Hong can pull up his own team and make the network ants bigger, and it is best to pull Hou Yantang over, with him operating overseas, the development of network ants can be broader...... "Pull Hou Yantang over, and the network ants will have one less competitor and one more technician who is willing to study in the future."

Hong Xuedong pushed his glasses with high myopia, looked back and smiled: "Are you really optimistic about the future of Internet ants?" I haven't even thought about it, it's hard to mix. "At the beginning, I developed this software only for my own convenience, and I never thought that it would have a good response after uploading it to the Internet, even if Lu Xi came to the door and took the initiative to prescribe conditions, he didn't have too many ideas.

When Lu Xi returned from Xiuqing's house last night and revised his future plans, he thought of agitating Hong Xuedong and persuading him to join Luzhu with Internet ants, or the two of them jointly set up a new company with small capital to pave the way for future plans.

Lu Xi was about to speak, Hong Xuedong suddenly got out of the car and walked towards a girl wearing a red tweed coat at the door.

Hong Xuedong pulled the girl into the car, and the girl saw Lu Xi and Wan'er sitting in the back, nodded and signaled to the two, with doubts on her face, she still didn't understand where her boyfriend got the car at this time, but she was embarrassed to ask if there were other people in the car.

Hong Xuedong smiled and introduced his girlfriend Yu Xin to Lu Xi, and then started the car and drove outside the school.

Lu Xi glanced at Yu Xin, thinking that Hong Xuedong was not good-looking, with a fair and slightly chubby face, a hairstyle a little like a watermelon Taro, and a pair of glasses with the same thickness as the bottom of a beer bottle on his nose.

When it was time to eat, Lu Xi said that he was in for a treat, and Hong Xuedong just found a clean restaurant near the campus. After ordering, Lu Xi continued the previous topic and said: "Brother Hong should actually try it, the market response of Internet ants is very good, it would be a pity not to worry about it, in the early stage of domestic network development, lay a solid foundation at this time, and then find the right opportunity to move overseas, maybe in a few years, Brother Hong can also become a figure like Anderson, Bezos and Yang Zhiyuan." ”

Hong Xuedong smiled bitterly, not asking Lu Xi to mock him, Yu Xin stared at Lu Xi for a few moments, not knowing what the big boy in front of him was doing with a cute little girl, and he looked old-fashioned when he spoke.

Yu Xin knows that the download tool that her boyfriend has made up is very popular, Anderson She doesn't know who it is, but Bezos and Yang Zhiyuan are the number one people at home and abroad today, and the success of Amazon and Yahoo has also set off a wave of entrepreneurship in China. It's just that she doesn't understand, Yahoo is a portal, Amazon is an e-commerce website, and the mainstream at home and abroad today are these two, and how can a niche like Internet ants become characters like Bezos and Yang Zhiyuan.

Hong Xuedong scratched his head and smiled again, and said: "Don't wear a high hat for me, the success of Amazon and Yahoo can be comparable to the company that made jeans, spades and pickaxes in the era of the gold rush in the West of the United States, but only a few have succeeded, and there are not a few people who have entered the tide of entrepreneurship after Amazon and Yahoo, and the success is only rare. ”

Lu Xi's understanding of Hong Xuedong is only from the reports of the Internet in his previous life, only a few words, a half-understood, two contacts in this life, suddenly a little understand that his indifference to fame and money is innate, and he gave up the update of Internet ants two years later, which is likely to be at a loss and forced by life in the future online world.

From 94 years of domestic entry into the Internet to the present, there are very few domestic successes, and the success of shareware is a blank, even if the software is very popular, developers become individual heroes among programmers, but developers in addition to investment, no other income, but also for the high network fees and electricity costs to worry, where to talk about success. Even if domestic Internet giants such as Zhang Chaoyang, Wang Zhidong and Ding Feng have added a huge halo to people at the moment and worshiped gods, they are not considered successful, after all, they are just burning money and not creating any profits.

Lu Xi took out a cigarette and snatched it for Wan'er, and said with a smile: "Brother Hong knows that ICQ is about to be acquired by AOL, right?" It's the one that bought Netscape for $4.2 billion this year. ”

Hong Xuedong habitually pushed his glasses up, revealing an ignorant look, and asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

"The specific price is not clear, and the minimum news from the industry is above 200 million, and I estimate that it may reach 400 million, but it depends on the specific negotiation results." Lu Xi knew that 407 million was the final price, but he couldn't say it at this time.

"You're not kidding me, are you?" Hong Xuedong shook his head and smiled, he thought it was unlikely, AOL, as the largest Internet service provider in the United States, acquired Netscape in the form of a share swap and cooperated with Shengyang (SUN), but ICQ as a shareware, even if the number of users has exceeded 10 million, but the business prospects are not optimistic, how can it be in the eyes of AOL, and AOL only completed the acquisition of Netscape at the end of November, how can it take out another 200 million US dollars to acquire ICQ.

"It has spread on the Internet, whether it is groundless, we will know in a while." Lu Xi is not sure when the acquisition will be completed.

Ignoring the fact that after AOL acquired ICQ, Netscape and Microsoft IE competed, ignoring the development of ICQ, but the real $400 million is real money, and the money spent is to promote the instant messaging software industry and the entire shareware industry, and now many people in China are crazy about it.

"I'll look for it when I get back." Lu Xi didn't look like he was lying, and Hong Xuedong had to believe it.

"Brother Hong is struggling to support the network ants alone, right?" Waiting for the waiter to leave, Lu Xi said, "Actually, I have always had an idea in my head, I don't know if Brother Hong can accept it." ”

Hong Xuedong took the chopsticks, looked up at Lu Xi, and said with a smile: "You say, I'll eat." He gave his girlfriend Yu Xin a light slap on the arm, and laughed again.

Lu Xi smiled unmindfully: "There are many shareware in China that have more users than Internet ants, but because of the development prospects, it is difficult to get VC, and it is very difficult to get Weixin if you want to get it, and it is almost impossible to see the current situation of Internet ants." My idea is that I will invest in the acquisition of a part of the equity of NetAnt, and we will form a new company to jointly operate NetAnt and bring NetAnt to the world. ”

Relative to the development of micro-news needs a large investment, in addition to the investment of the server, foreign countries can temporarily do not need to publicize, directly upload and provide download, and use the openness of the network to spread freely, and domestic as long as it is accompanied by micro-message can be done, according to the previous cooperation between the two people, micro-message and network ants can promote each other and develop together. Of course, Lu Xi's purpose is to go to foreign markets, and there are network ants to lay a foundation abroad, and at the right time, WeChat can rush out of the country.
