(I ask for a collection and recommend it!) ）

Hou Yantang has given up tackling technical problems and the development of Internet Express because of the rapid occupation of most of the market by cyber ants, and at the same time rejected Hong Xuedong's invitation, and recommended the game Warcraft to him in the email.

In his previous life, he delayed the update of the Internet Express because he was addicted to World of Warcraft, and was surpassed by competitors, Lu Xi read the email sent by Hou Yantang to Hong Xuedong, but he didn't expect him to be so obsessed with real-time strategy games, and he wanted to find such a guy who was obsessed with games to come to work, so it was better to send two more people from China.

Lu Xi gave up the idea of chasing Hou Yantang again, Hong Xuedong replied to the email and persuaded two sentences, and continued to pack his things and prepare to return to China, except for Hou Yantang's refusal to join the ants to move and his ban on entering the country for five years, Hong Xuedong was extremely satisfied with this trip to the United States.

Hong Xuedong was not allowed to enter the country for five years, Hong Xuedong himself didn't care, Lu Xi didn't take it to heart, Wan Xingnian was mature and steady, and he knew the United States very well, so he didn't have anything to worry about.

From late May to July, Lu Xi and Hong Xuedong had been in the United States for nearly two months, and now they have abundant funds, and some things must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and Hong Xuedong has been banned from entering the country, and if he does not leave tomorrow, he will be deported, and the two will board a flight back to China on July 6.

While the weather in San Francisco in July was neither hot nor cold, it was extremely hot in Newport, and even if it was raining lightly when you got off the plane, you could feel the humidity and heat rushing over your face.

Coming out of the terminal and seeing that the Cadillac had just stopped in front of them, Lu Xi and Hong Xuedong hurriedly got into the car after putting away their suitcases, and greeted Sun Mingwei who was driving and Yu Xin who was sitting in the co-pilot with a smile.

Sun Mingwei opened his mouth first and asked, "Do you go home first to change your clothes or go to dinner first?" ”

Lu Xi smiled and asked, "Just the four of us?" ”

Yu Xin turned around and replied: "Don't think that you have made a sensational big deal, everyone has to come to welcome you, the company is busy to death, just the two of us still take some time out of our busy schedules." ”

Lu Xi and Hong Xuedong glanced at each other and said with a smile: "It seems that we are not popular, I knew that this was the case, we took the money to the Caribbean island to buy two luxury houses, yachts, red wine, bikini girls, not to mention how comfortable the small life is." ”

Yu Xin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't bring your little cousin and the young woman who hid your heart with the child for you?" ”

Lu Xi laughed embarrassedly twice, took out the newspaper he bought at LA Airport from his bag and threw it over.

Sun Mingwei continued: "Because of what the two of you are doing in the United States, the company has reporters coming to the door all day long, and there was a press conference some time ago, and you jumped on the Golden Gate Bridge and attracted a group of people, and you were annoyed to death. ”

Hong Xuedong continued: "There is no negative news, and it is a good thing that the exposure rate is high. ”

Yu Xin flipped through the newspaper and turned around and threw Lu Xi a roll of his eyes, and snorted: "Why don't you jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, you will bully us honest people." ”

"I didn't let me." Lu Xi said with a smile, "It's your family who said that the music download business can't sell 100 million, and took the initiative to bet with me." ”

Sun Mingwei took Hong Xuedong's words and said: "You guys are making such a fuss, everyone in China knows about it now, and you will go back and look at the news reports, but this is really a good thing, since you went to the United States, the number of Internet ant users has doubled than before." ”

Lu Xi imagined the situation in China and said: "It will be much easier for us next, there is no shortage of funds now, and we don't have to worry about it in the next few years." ”

Seeing Yu Xin kneeling in the co-pilot seat and turning around to talk to Hong Xuedong in a low voice, Lu Xi asked Sun Mingwei to stop the car, changed positions with Yu Xin, and asked, "What have these domestic Internet companies done recently?" ”

Sun Mingwei replied: "Since the news of Yahoo's active contact with you came back, the domestic media also mentioned China.com, and they should be listed recently." ”

Hong Kong Ye Keping operated China.com to be listed in the United States at the beginning of the year under the guise of the concept of China, which is no longer news in China, but recently the limelight of China.com has been far overshadowed by the ants moving, and Lu Xi is not very clear.

In the previous life, China.com was the first Chinese Internet company listed on the NASDAQ, Lu Xi had a deep impression of China.com, Ye Keping's website name was good, but he lacked foresight in operation, although he took the last train of the crazy American Internet stocks, and the stock price reached more than 200 US dollars at the peak, but because he had no vision, he missed many opportunities, and after a long decade, he finally filed for bankruptcy.

At this time, in terms of content, because of the short-sightedness of decision-makers, China.com has fallen far behind SINA, Sohu and Vantone Network in the mainland.

Lu Xi didn't care about China.com, and asked with a smile: "There is no movement from these companies in the mainland?" ”

Sun Mingwei said with a smile: "How could it not be, after you sold more than 300 million yuan in the music download business, Vantone Network and Sohu successively announced that they would go public in the United States, and some domestic companies also wanted to develop in the United States because of our influence, and the domestic mainstream media called this phenomenon 'ant tide'." ”

"Ant Rush." Lu Xi smiled smugly, "China.com is a Hong Kong company that is easy to operate when listed in the United States, but it is difficult for Vantone Network and Sohu to go public, and due to the restrictions of relevant domestic policies, they have to separate the domestic ICP business if they want to go public." ”

Hong Xuedong answered: "Then they are still playing a fart, separating the domestic ICP business, how can they still be welcomed by foreign investors, and they can't raise much money." ”

Lu Xi explained to Hong Xuedong the way they could use it, and then said, "I just don't know when they will be able to think of this method." ”

After saying that, he didn't care about the "ant trend", and he didn't care if those who had never been optimistic about them were jealous, or they were struggling to figure out how to go out and get a sum of money like them, and said: "Brother Hong and I plan to come up with 20 million dividends, what do you think?" ”

Yu Xin is the third shareholder of Ant Moving, although Sun Mingwei only has 0.5% of the shares in Luzhu, he is also a shareholder.

Sun Mingwei was silent, Yu Xin leaned his head over from behind, and said with a smile: "Take 20 million out to share dividends, then I will be a millionaire." ”

"Don't put your face so close to me, okay?" Lu Xi smiled and pushed her head back, "You miscalculated, you're a multimillionaire." ”

Yu Xin blinked in surprise, and counted with her fingers like a child: "That's right, I have a share, deducting personal income tax, isn't it more than one million?" ”

Sun Mingwei said with a smile: "It's 20 million US dollars, and you are not a multimillionaire when converted into RMB, and I am a poor man in the car." ”

Looking back at Yu Xin's surprised and bright smile, Lu Xi smiled again and said: "For the development of the company and a good working environment, we should also change to a better environment." ”

Sun Mingwei turned his head slightly and said in a playful tone: "It's different to be a nouveau riche, are we moving to Jin Mao Building or Sen Mao Building?" ”

Qitian Building is two yuan a day for one square meter, and one square meter of Jinmao Building and Senmao Building, which have been put into use this year, costs five yuan a day, and the current situation of the company is also expensive, but Lu Xi does not want to make up for a bunch of financial investments and multinational banks, and said with a smile: "Next, the company's personnel will continue to increase, we have rented four offices in Qitian Building, almost 500 square meters, and there is a rent of 40,000 yuan per month. Preferential policies such as office subsidies, we can rent a building or rent a floor in the main building, and we don't have to change places in the next few years. ”

Sun Mingwei knew that the office building Lu Xi said, the supporting facilities of the high-tech industrial park in Shipu District, which cost 10 billion yuan, was only put into use in November last year. ”

Sun Mingwei smiled again: "I forgot to tell you bad news, before we came out, your mother just called." ”

Lu Xi patted his forehead, he didn't even come back for the college entrance examination, even if he took out all the money and put it in front of his mother, I was afraid that she would slap himself first and then count the money, and said with a wry smile: "Next time I call, you will say that I didn't come back, and I will go back when I am busy in the past few days." ”

Sun Mingwei said with a smile: "There's nothing to be busy with, the WeChat image show can be officially launched without you, and the advertising business Su Mei and Xu Li are also doing very well, you can go back now." ”

Lu Xi didn't answer and thought about it, and asked, "The recharge card over there has already been distributed, right?" ”

Seeing Sun Mingwei nodding, Lu Xi continued: "The Weixin image show can be launched immediately, and then we will have a new round of promotion to promote it to second-tier cities." In addition, Yahoo will enter the domestic market this year, followed by Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, and Microsoft's MSN Online may also launch instant messaging software in the near future. ”

Lu Xi paused and continued: "At present, the European and American markets have AOL's AIM and ICQ, Yahoo's Instant Communication and Microsoft's upcoming MSN, we don't have to consider the European and American markets for the time being, we don't have any advantages in competing with them, but Southeast Asia currently has some shares except for ICQ and CICQ, which are all markets to be explored, compared with the two, Weixin also has more advantages, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia are very potential, others such as Thailand, Countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines are not considering it for the time being. Next, we have to continue to recruit technical personnel, after the launch of the micro-news image show, we will develop different versions for entering these four regions, and you must also send someone to set up the branch as soon as possible. ”

Sun Mingwei was slightly stunned, pulled over and stopped the car, and asked, "Is the step too big?" ”

Lu Xi said: "Now at this time, if we don't take a big step, wait for the Southeast Asian market to be occupied by MSN and Yahoo Instant Pass, it will be far more difficult for us to enter again than now, and now we will operate these four places well, and it will not be too difficult for us to enter other parts of Southeast Asia in the future." ”

After Sun Mingwei was silent, he asked, "In addition to launching different versions of WeChat, what other plans do you have?" ”

Without waiting for Lu Xi to answer, Hong Xuedong said lazily: "In addition to the different versions of WeChat, the network ants must also be synchronized, and the other is to develop browsers." The browser is the entrance to the platform, the basis of traffic import, the idea of making a browser is very good, as long as you don't go to the tip of the horns to engage in kernel research and development. ”

In order not to return to China due to jet lag, Hong Xuedong pulled Lu Xi to chat as soon as he got on the plane, planning to go home and sleep after getting off the plane. Lu Xi was quite interested at first, but then he was sleepy, and when he wanted to sleep, he said that he had the idea of developing a browser kernel, Hong Xuedong suddenly shut up, and he slept for a while.

Of course, Lu Xi knows how difficult it is to develop a browser kernel, which is different from writing an instant messaging software and making a web page, in addition to going to a large foreign company to poach people, he also needs sufficient funds and time, and he can't afford it now.
