Chapter 122: Entrusted by Someone
(Ask for recommendations!) )
"Come less." Xiuqing said this, but she didn't move, letting Lu Xi's eyes look at her.
The figures of the two are reflected in each other's eyes, and they are also deeply reflected in their hearts.
After a long time, Lu Xi first looked away, then looked at Xiuqing and sighed, "I really can't guess what Liu Yaya wants to do." ”
The two browser experts were on vacation in Miami, and Lu Xi originally planned to fly from Newport to New York tomorrow, and then transfer to Miami, but Sun Mingwei had to modify his itinerary after a phone call.
The negotiations have been successful, the transaction price is three million US dollars, and Liu Yaya also agreed to join the Luzhu Hong Kong company, Lu Xi really can't understand why Liu Yaya is willing to sign the contract until he goes over.
After listening to Lu Xi's explanation of the reason for going to Hong Kong, looking at his sad face, Xiuqing said: "Then it's okay to go, he may have the conditions to mention it, you haven't been hanging those two foreigners for a day or two." ”
Lu Xi looked at Xiuqing and said, "If you have the conditions, you can mention it to Sun Mingwei, and I will accept it if it is reasonable." ”
"You're good to go, I'm not a child." Xiuqing knew what the reason why Lu Xi was complaining to her here, but she was a little happy in her heart, and after speaking, she got up and walked to the door, opened the door and said, "I'm going to have lunch, if you don't go, go back to Xingang directly." ”
Lu Xi followed with a smile, had lunch with Xiuqing, and then returned to Xingang, and flew directly to Hong Kong in the afternoon of the same day.
August 8 WeChat in Hong Kong and Taiwan officially launched, after Cai Zhiheng's cooperation with publicity and campus promotion, August 8 day, Hong Kong local users reached 70,000, now it has been a week, Hong Kong local users have reached 180,000, the population of more than 5 million cities within a week of users reached such a number, Lu Xi is still quite satisfied, compared with Hong Kong, Taiwan's population is more than 20 million, a week has only 410,000 users.
At the same time as the launch of Weixin in the two places, a small number of outdoor advertising and online advertising have been all put on, and the promotion activities with the theme of the first intimate contact are being carried out in Taiwan, with the continuous growth of Weixin users, Cai Zhiheng's book is also a big seller, and after three months, Weixin will continue to hold activities with the theme of the first intimate contact in several cities in Hong Kong and Taiwan, witnessing the hand-holding of netizens.
Weixin has made a good start, MSN has too strong a corporate flavor, and as long as MSN does not launch new tricks in the future, the pressure on Weixin will not be too great.
After the micro-message and the network ant were launched in Hong Kong simultaneously, Yang Wenfang and Yu Xin rushed to Singapore to prepare, Lu Xi heard Sun Mingwei introduce the recent situation, so he asked Liu Yaren where he was, and if he could solve it as soon as possible, he would solve it as soon as possible.
Sun Mingwei replied: "Hong Xuedong is going to Macau to play, Liu Yaya will accompany him, I will call them back." ”
"What's there to do in Macau? Get them back as soon as possible. Lu Xi frowned slightly, "What does Liu Yaya want to do?" ”
"He said he just wanted to see you, that's what he said." Sun Mingwei said with a smile, "I think Hong Xuedong and you are both domestic Internet heroes, and Liu Yaya has been squeezed out of the domestic market, so he can't even see you, so he will come to work for us, right?" ”
Lu Xi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and said, "He doesn't look at what time it is." ”
"It's just my guess." Sun Mingwei said, "Don't listen to your complaints, I'll go call." ”
Lu Xi stopped Sun Mingwei, who was walking out, and said, "According to what you think, this matter is simple, you have called, and by the way, help me book a ticket to Miami the day after tomorrow." ”
Sun Mingwei went out in response, Lu Xi rested for a while, the two went downstairs for dinner, and Hong Xuedong and Liu Yaya hurried back.
Liu Yaya has been in China for so long, Lu Xi is still the first time to see him in person, not tall, slightly fat, and Hong Xuedong with a pair of highly myopic glasses, after Sun Mingwei's introduction, after the two shook hands and greeted, Hong Xuedong smiled at Liu Yaya: "PICQ squeezed out the domestic market for Weixin, and I thought you called Lu Xi over to PK in person!" ”
Liu Yaya laughed heartily twice and said, "Losing to Mr. Lu, I am willing to bow down." ”
After ICQ, the information man is the first company to follow the trend in China, and has launched two versions of CICQ and PICQ, operating in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, and after the information man, there is Jianye Polaris Company's Internet Elf and Suizhou Telecom's PCICQ, because the latter two do not regard instant messaging as the main business development, even due to policy restrictions and other issues, PICQ's life in China is not too sad.
It wasn't until the sudden death of Weixin that PICQ's life became sad, and he wanted to fight with Weixin, but PICQ could not compete with Weixin from the most basic function, and the 100,000 US dollars invested by the two investors had all been spent, and Liu Yaya could only hold on, and in the end he had to give up the domestic market and turn back to carefully manage Taiwan and Hong Kong, but he didn't think that there had just improved, and Weixin chased after him.
After listening to Liu Yaya's complaint, Lu Xi smiled and said: "After signing the contract, everything before is in the past tense, we still have to look forward, after Manager Liu enters Luzhu, in Hong Kong and Taiwan, what you have to face in the future is MSN and Yahoo and other rising stars, it can be said that opportunities and challenges coexist, I hope you don't let us all down." ”
After the signing of the agreement, the Hong Kong company will be handed over to Liu Yaya to manage the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, while Yang Wenfang will stay in Singapore and be responsible for the Singapore and Malaysian markets.
Liu Yaya is not much disappointed in this venture, he can get more than half of the three million US dollars, compared with Zhongcheng Technology, he is quite satisfied with the final acquisition of Luzhu, and the future of Luzhu is not limited to this, can enter Luzhu to work, continue to operate instant messaging, will face the competition of Microsoft and Yahoo, it is indeed an opportunity and a challenge for him.
Liu Yaya said with a smile: "I have a lot of salary, I can only do my best, and I want to thank Mr. Lu for giving me this opportunity." ”
The information person withdrew from the domestic market, and the traditional version of CICQ operated very well in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is also the main reason why Lu Xi handed over Hong Kong and Taiwan to him.
After asking how CICQ would develop if Weixin did not enter the two markets, Liu Yaya replied, Lu Xi recognized his development ideas, and asked: "Manager Liu wants me to come over this time, not just to meet me first, right?" ”
Liu Yaya smiled slightly: "It's not just that, in fact, I am also entrusted by someone, and it is a friend who wants to see Mr. Lu." ”
Lu Xi sighed in his heart, he thought that it was the same as Sun Mingwei said, and it would be over if he met to sign a contract, who would have thought that this guy was actually entrusted by a friend.
I don't know what Lu Xi was thinking, Liu Yaya smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Lu should have heard of my friend." ”
Hong Xuedong has been in contact with Liu Yaya for a long time, and the two have become acquainted, and said with a smile: "Don't hang people's appetites, which of your friends wants to see Lu Xi?" ”
Liu Yaya said: "Chen Wenqian Chen, Ms. Chen." ”
Lu Xi was stunned for a while, not knowing who this Chen Wenqian he was talking about, Hong Xuedong and Sun Mingwei also had blank expressions.
Seeing the appearance of the three people, Liu Yaya immediately patted his head and said with a smile: "I forgot that the mainland can't see Taiwan programs, Ms. Chen Wenqian is now a well-known host in Taiwan and the behind-the-scenes boss of Dream Chinese.com." ”
When he said this, Lu Xi thought about it and said with a smile: "I know about the dream Chinese network." ”
Compared with Chen Wenqian, Lu Xi is more familiar with Xu Naiwei, the dream Chinese boss is Chen Wenqian, but it was introduced to the mainland by Xu Naiwei, and Xu Naiwei also has the idea of building Dream Chinese Network into a three-in-one Internet portal.
The previous dream Chinese network successfully held a 72-hour network survival experiment, compared with the popularity of 8848, dream Chinese only a small fire in China, the following year with Suizhou hot news and the first domestic online one-yuan auction store merged, the three together to form the dream hot news group, while receiving tens of millions of dollars in financing from IDG. After obtaining financing, because the Chinese portal market in mainland China and Taiwan has been occupied by big websites such as Sina and Qimo.com, Dream Hot News Group entered the domestic e-commerce field under the leadership of Xu Naiwei, and then disappeared in the frozen period of the Internet bubble.
In this life, the Internet survival experiment was preempted by Huilian Online, and the dream of Chinese Internet needs to find another way to become popular in the mainland overnight.
Lu Xi didn't know what Chen Wenqian was looking for him through Liu Yaya, whether it was for the promotion of Dream Chinese Network or other reasons, and he didn't know that the domestic headquarters of Dream Chinese Network was Xingang, why Xu Naiwei didn't go to him in person, but asked Chen Wenqian to go through Liu Ya.
But no matter what Chen Wenqian's intentions were for him through Liu Yaya, Lu Xi only insisted on one principle, money can be earned, and it is impossible to take out money from Luzhu.
Weixin now has five major sections every day, nearly 200 chat rooms that can accommodate a total of 300,000 people at the same time, chat rooms have become the largest source of Weixin advertising revenue, Weixin client and network ant client also need appropriate advertisers, Dream Chinese Network wants to advertise, Lu Xi welcomes it with both hands, but if you want to venture capital to invest in Dream Chinese Network, he will definitely not do it.
Green Bamboo Venture Capital has determined that it will give follow-up financing to Huilian Online, Century Internet, Ctrip, Du Nanling's music players, with the current financial strength, these four are enough to kill people, and the dream Chinese network that does not live long has gone through two rounds of financing in angel round and A round, and the cost of Green Bamboo to enter again is too great.
Lu Xi leaned on the back of the soft chair and thought for a while, and said: "If Ms. Chen is in Hong Kong, Manager Liu will help us make an appointment, the day after tomorrow I will fly to Miami, if the person is not there, Manager Liu will help me pass a word to the past, Dream Chinese Network wants to advertise no problem, if you want to invest in Green Bamboo Venture Capital, forget it, we currently only do angel round and A round." ”
