Chapter 134: Missing Baidu
After thinking about the Lianzhong platform for a while, Lu Xi said: "If Wu Zhonghui contacts you, you can call him back again, and those who have jumped into the ice cellar should know how to cherish it more." ”
Li Zhijie frowned, and said with a smile: "It's still Lu Shao's generosity." ”
"If you're not happy that he's back, we can send him to Hong Kong or Singapore, or the R&D center in the United States." Lu Xi kept observing his expression as he spoke.
Li Zhijie scratched his head and thought for a while, and said: "Wu Zhonghui, a stuffy gourd type of person, is still more suitable for technology, do you want me to take the initiative to contact him?" ”
"No, you don't." Lu Xi smiled and waved his hand to let him out, and when Li Zhijie pushed the door open, he stopped him and said, "Find the phone number of the current person in charge of the China Public Network, and call Mr. Sun in by the way." ”
Li Zhijie was stunned at the door, and said with a surprised tone: "Is Lu Shao going to buy Zhonggong Network or Lianzhong?" ”
Lu Xi said: "I want to unite with others, the premise is that the price is reasonable." ”
Li Zhijie called Sun Mingwei, sat back and said excitedly: "Lu Shao has the courage, seeing the news of the VC of the China Public Network and Xie Wen's dismissal, I told Mr. Sun that we can go on the game platform." ”
Sun Mingwei walked in and heard the second half of Li Zhijie's words, stared at Lu Xi and said, "You don't want to make a game, do you?" ”
Lu Xi replied head-on, and said: "Luzhu established a game division and acquired the Lianzhong game platform, what do you think?" ”
Sun Mingwei frowned, sat down and said: "China Public Network has not received 60 million US dollars in financing, and there may be the idea of selling Lianzhong, but the key is Lianzhong's profit model." ”
Others are still figuring out how to make a profit. Lu Xi knew how to operate in his heart. smiled slightly: "I want Lianzhong to use this platform to accumulate more popularity first." Then think about profitability. ”
Sun Mingwei pondered for a while, then showed a helpless expression, and said: "You are the big boss, I will do what you say, but China Public Network has just spent 10 million yuan to acquire 79% of Lianzhong's shares, how much do you want to acquire?" ”
Lu Xi leaned on the long table, looked sideways at Sun Mingwei and said, "Now they only have 300,000 users, and an average of 3,000 people are online. It's worth fifteen million to twenty million yuan in me, so try to quote it first. ”
Sun Mingwei chuckled lightly and said: "The purpose of the acquisition of Lianzhong by China Public Network is to increase capital for financing, and at this time, the VC will be in vain, and they should want to get rid of it, but 20 million yuan is useless for a portal network, don't even think about it, I quote in the past, and it is none of my business whether they sell it or not." Nothing else, I'll just go and get busy. ”
Sun Mingwei finished speaking, and went out. Lu Xi also sent Li Zhijie back to work.
Li Zhijie sat in the immobile place, and said with a smile: "Lu Shao looked at the front page of the computer newspaper. ”
"What are you looking at?" Lu Xi took the computer newspaper on the table back and flipped to the front page, and saw the headline on the front page, China's rich man surnamed Lu bought a mansion in Seattle, and became neighbors with Gates and Allen, and the subtitle - being a neighbor with the world's richest man, an alternative way for Chinese tycoons to show off their wealth, couldn't help frowning.
This time, except for Brian and Sancho who poached seven people from Mozhi, entered Luzhu to set up a research and development center in Seattle to develop browsers, and Ant moved to Seattle and reported it to some media, there was no other news about Luzhu, Lu Xi really didn't know where the computer newspaper learned about his purchase of a house in Seattle.
Looking carefully at the full version of the content, Lu Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly, although the computer newspaper only said that the surname Lu was rich, and did not mention the full name, but Green Bamboo Technology, Ant Moving, Super Rabbit Security Guard, Green Bamboo Venture Capital and the companies invested in it were all mentioned, and those who knew the details of Green Bamboo would know who it was written at a glance.
Although the computer newspaper took Gates and Allen, the two founders of Microsoft, as the headline, the content did not denigrate Luzhu and Lu Xi himself, on the contrary, it affirmed the achievements of Luzhu in the past six months, and finally used Lu Xi's success to inspire more people to join the ranks of entrepreneurship under the new wave of technology.
Seeing Lu Xi raise his head after reading the newspaper, Li Zhijie said with a smile: "After the computer newspaper, some network portals also reprinted and published relevant comments. ”
Lu Xi said: "This report is beneficial to the green bamboo department, as long as my name is not mentioned, whatever they write." ”
In addition to saying that he showed off his wealth, he reported on the Green Bamboo Company positively, and Lu Xi was not dissatisfied, although the computer newspaper was not an authoritative journal at this time, the sales of each issue were also five or six hundred thousand copies, and the green bamboo did not spend a penny, and whatever they promoted, it was beneficial to the green bamboo anyway.
Lu Xi didn't care about this matter, sent Li Zhijie back to work, and called Xiao Jing again to ask if her plan was ready.
Cai Zhiheng will come from Tainan tomorrow, and after Lu Xi intends to solve the investment of the two together, he will go to Xinda to report that the school has been open for nearly half a month, and his mother said that no matter how he was in school, but after she returned to China, she still called him several times to report.
Xiao Jing has returned to China at the end of August, and is doing specific research on the domestic talent exchange market, and before the plan is completed, Lu Xi asked her to set up a company first, and after negotiating the investment, she will toss it.
The talent network has a bright future, but to what extent Xiao Jing can do it, Lu Xi doesn't know.
Xiao Jing complained on the phone that he didn't care about her project, Lu Xi laughed and chatted with her for a while, seeing her mention IDG's Wu Xiaoou, Lu Xi suddenly remembered the call from Wu Xiaoou before flying from Seattle to Singapore to board the plane, and hurriedly said: "I still have something to do, tomorrow you come to Luzhu and we will talk in detail." ”
Without waiting for Xiao Jing to speak, Lu Xi hung up the phone, flipped out Wu Xiaoou's number and called.
It has been more than a week since the last time I contacted Lu Xi, and when I saw that he had only called back to ask about it, Wu Xiaoou smiled bitterly on the phone: "We are all late, the core engineer of Infoseek and his partner have already found start-up capital in the United States, and we can only wait for the next round if we want to enter." ”
Hearing which company Wu Xiaoou was talking about, Lu Xi suddenly patted his forehead in annoyance, infoseek, an old search engine company, the core engineer of the Chinese removed William Zhang, a Taiwanese Chinese who created the first generation of infoseek search engine. Only Li Hongyan, who created the second-generation search engine, remained. And after Disney Internet Group took a stake in Infoseek. The only one who chooses to return to China to start a business is Li Hongyan.
Lu Xi was annoyed for a while and asked, "When will they return to China?" ”
Wu Xiaoou smiled: "I'm not their nanny, I don't know about this, let's wait for another opportunity." ”
Lu Xi asked again: "How much investment did they get?" ”
Wu Xiaoou replied: "One million two million US dollars, the Peninsula Fund and the honest collaborators each contribute half, each of them gets 12.5% of the shares, I heard that this Li Hongyan is very powerful in the search engine industry, and it is said that he can rank in the top three." That's probably why they get investment so quickly. ”
Lu Xi didn't know Li Hongyan's ability, and sighed slightly: "If there are good projects in the future, contact me again, and remember to notify me if they refinance." ”
Seeing that Lu Xi was interested in his optimistic project for the first time, Wu Xiaoou smiled and said, "If you have a good project over there, remember to inform me, don't eat alone." ”
Since he had missed Baidu's angel round, Lu Xi no longer thought about it, and could only wait for the A round to enter again, and said: "Now the venture capital next door to me is surrounded by a group of entrepreneurs. I'll see if there are any good projects later. ”
The two didn't have time to talk about anything, so Luzhu Venture Capital surrounded a group of entrepreneurs who needed investment. The same goes for IDG.
Putting down the phone, Lu Xi walked out of the conference room and said to Sun Mingwei: "I'll go next door, call me if you have something, technical solutions, I'll send you an email when I get back." ”
**********************
After the injection of capital into Hong Xuedong's development company, the funds have reached more than 100 million US dollars, because of his carelessness missed Baidu, Lu Xi wanted to speed up the investment in the near future, and dared to make a move for some prospects, and Wu Xiaoou, who was known as China's first fool in this regard, did a good job.
Even if some projects cannot foresee the future development and there is no possibility of listing in the future, as long as they can increase in value, they can choose to cash out the profit by share repurchase and will not lose their money.
Pushing the door and walking into the office of the venture capital next door, I saw that a row of benches at the door of the office was full of people, and there were three people standing next to it, and there were eight people in one eye.
Before going abroad, Lu Xi had already given Luo Shuyue advice, asking investors to send business plans to the company's mailbox, and then she selected promising projects and made an appointment with entrepreneurs, Luo Shuyue did so, but there will still be many people who do not send emails and take the initiative to come to the door.
After stopping at the door for a while, Lu Xi walked inside, and at this time, he heard someone behind him say: "We all know that you want to invest, but you have to come first and come first, right?" ”
When I turned around, I saw that the people who were sitting and standing and waiting were all looking at me, and everyone had an expression on their faces that they could not enter without queuing.
When he came back from Singapore, Lu Xi went straight to the company, wearing a white cotton short-sleeved shirt on his upper body and light gray thin cotton knee-length shorts on his lower body, while the eight people in front of him were all dressed formally and wearing ties.
Lu Xi smiled and was about to speak, when he saw one of the entrepreneurs in his thirties with a computer newspaper in his hand and said: "I've been waiting for most of the day, and so are they, you better wait slowly, it will be your turn in two hours at most." ”
Glancing back at the closed door of the newly separated conference room, Lu Xi couldn't help but shake his head, beckoned to the venture capital staff, and after asking, he learned that Luo Shuyue and the others had met no less than 30 entrepreneurs today, and each time they were in a group of five.
I don't know how long it took to go inside, Lu Xi turned around and asked the person who had just spoken, "What's your name and what project are you doing?" ”
The man frowned and replied, "Li Xiaobo, you make a game." ”
Lu Xi turned around and pulled a chair from the office, sat down at the door, and said, "Tell me your plan first." ”
The rest of the people all looked at Lu Xi in a daze, not knowing what this young man was going to do, Li Xiaobo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You don't want to deceive my business plan, right?" ”
Lu Xi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Other venture capital institutions may cheat business plans, but Luzhu Venture Capital will not, I didn't ask for your plan, I just asked you to dictate, if you don't say it, you can go back directly." ”
The rest of the people realized at this moment that the young man in front of them was a staff member of Luzhu Venture Capital, but Li Xiaobo didn't react for a while, and glared: "Why did you tell me to go back?" ”
At this time, the door of the small conference room was pushed open, Lu Xi turned around, and saw that the four people who came out in front of him were all hanging their heads, and the one behind was waving his fists, his face was full of excitement, and then he saw Fang Mingtao, the manager of the risk control department who was poached by Luo Shuyue from Citibank, followed out.
Fang Mingtao walked to the door, and was just about to call the next wave of five people in, when he saw Lu Xi sitting at the door, he immediately smiled and said, "Why didn't Lu Shao go in when he came back?" What are you doing sitting here? ”
Li Xiaobo had just read the front page of the latest issue of the computer newspaper, and when he heard the staff of the venture capital call the young man in front of him Lu Shao, he was stunned with a miserable face. (To be continued......)
