May 3, 2ooo.

At the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Hong Kong, the summit lasted for more than 10 hours during three consecutive days, attracting the anticipation of the global media, and even the IT industry was wide-eyed to know what Chenxing would do next. It's just that, under Song Chen's strict order, Chenxing's middle and senior managers remained consistent and silent, and the media had no way of knowing the response measures that Chenxing Holdings would take in response to the NASDAQ stock market crash.

In fact, except for a few core executives, the hundreds of managers attending the meeting actually didn't know what Song Chen's real plan was.

During the three-day summit, most of the most important topics focused on the policies to be adopted by each branch during the period of the NASDAQ stock market crash. To put it simply, companies that have already operated across borders will continue to maintain the pace of expansion since last year, and will not lead to an abrupt halt in investment projects due to the tightening of capital markets; In principle, companies with operations concentrated in China or the United States will not be prevented from doing so if they have cross-border operations.

Of course, out of financial concerns, the financial department will be more or less cautious when making budgets - this does not include the three major listed companies under Chenxing Holdings, their investment budgets this year not only do not cut, but may even take advantage of the time when competitors are caught in the capital mud to rob and plunder the city!

In dozens of media outlets, Ashley? Fanning's trio took advantage of this rare opportunity to play around Hong Kong without any heart, and it seemed that they didn't have to worry about news material at all.

Ashley? The reason why Fan Ning is full of confidence is because he has collected a lot of materials when he has been dining with Song Chen and his woman in the past few days! Of course, most of them can't be published for the time being, but some of them are not taboo, and at the same time, Song Chen deliberately revealed them to Ashley? Fanning's.

For example, Song Chen in front of Ashley? Fan Ning bluntly told her that in the next few years, the group will increase the layout of the Internet industry chain, effectively integrate the group's existing resources and achieve a balance between revenue and expenditure!

The above is undoubtedly too general and too broad, and it seems to be unfinished! Therefore, Song Chen also revealed that the group will make big moves this year and next year, and it is not excluded that it will use capital mergers and acquisitions to achieve its goals.

This news is enough to make Ashley? Fanning handed over to his boss! Of course, for the authenticity of the news, she did not forget to take a full-body photo of Song Chen when he was interviewed to ensure the authority of the material.

The only thing she regretted was that Song Chen and his women avoided talking about the "stock increase plan" that public opinion and the capital market were very concerned about. Fanning was helpless. It's not because she can't get authoritative news from Song Chen's mouth, but because she hates Song Chen's mistress for knowing the secrets but only conceals herself, so favoritism, how can she not be angry?

Ashley? Fan Ning's complaints, Song Chen naturally did not know, at the end of the summit, he stood on the podium of the thousands of square meters of circular hall, looking solemnly at the hundreds of manager-level executives under the stage, his tone was sonorous and full of emotion: "But when Chenxing Company received the first investment, I once warned the employees who worked hard with me: 'Today is cruel, tomorrow is even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful!'" But many people will not see the day after tomorrow, because they will die tomorrow night! ’”

This sentence made the high-level executives who were originally relaxed because the summit was about to end solemn, because they now, this sentence is very accurate to the current bad economic background, and when did Song Chen say this?

In 1998!

Looking back, in the past two years, Song Chen's vision has been to attack cities and seize land, almost invincible, turning a small company in the middle of nowhere, into a technology group company with tens of thousands of employees, and taking advantage of the world's crazy pursuit of technology concept stocks before the NASDAQ stock crash was born, he collected $600 million in cash in a very low-key manner......

Thinking of this, all the high-level executives present were warm.

And the old employees in Song Chen's mouth, Yao Hua, Ruan Likai, Zhu Tiejun and others smiled heartily, remembering Song Chen's wolf appearance when he founded the company.

Zhai Yan even thought of Song Chen's conclusive words that he would create a technology company with a market value of hundreds of billions! In just two years, it seems that the words are still in the ears, and unconsciously, their purpose has been achieved by a small half, and she has jumped from the small pattern of Zhai Kuo Electric to a professional manager who has attracted global attention...... Even entrepreneurs!

Thinking of this, why didn't Zhai Yan's eyes redden, and her heart was excited?

Song Chen's eyes were scorching, and everywhere he went, the managers were all holding their chests high, as if they were a group of soldiers who had been reviewed by the chief, and they were extremely proud. Looking around, he pressed on both sides of the podium, and then said in a deep voice: "I will give this passage to all of you present. The Internet is a 'fast fish eat slow fish' industry, if we don't want to be a fish that is devoured, we must be faster, more ruthless, and more accurate than them! ”

The young Song Chen raised a hand, shook his fist, and shouted: "I am sure that the Internet market pattern is undergoing unprecedented changes, and in this rare period of historical opportunity, we must consolidate our own foundation, and we must be more patient than any competitor!" Before the dawn...... We want to live, and live better! At that time, I will share this success and joy with you! ”

"Bang Bang!" Thunderous applause rang out, and the three-day summit finally came to an end.

Song Chen, who stood with flowers and applause, did not relax, and after instructing Jiang Zheng to prepare for a press conference, he took Yao Hua and the two inseparable tall Xiaomi to meet a guest who had been waiting for several days.

"Mr. Song Chen, it is my honor to meet you in person!"

In a chically decorated reception room, Zhang Jingjun held Song Chen's hand and couldn't help but marvel at the youth of the boy in front of him. Perhaps in order to make himself more mature and more persuasive, Song Chen deliberately grew some beards, but it didn't seem to have any effect, at least Zhang Jingjun sighed in person: "You look a few years younger than in the newspaper!" ”

Song Chen said apologetically: "You have an overreputation, because you have been riddled with mundane things recently, and it is really sad that you are tired of waiting for three more days!" ”

As a world-renowned tycoon, Song Chen's humility made Zhang Jingjun feel good, and she smiled: "No! I would even like to thank you for allowing me to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days, and to be honest, I'm already a little overjoyed! ”

Zhang Jingjun's humor made Song Chen also feel good, he let go of half of his body, pointed at Yao Hua and said: "Let me introduce, this is Yao Hua, the head of Chenxing Network!" ”

With a flash of his eyes, Zhang Jingjun's eyes were a little more enlightened, and he also added a little confidence to the next negotiations: "Mr. Yao, I'm so happy to know you!" ”

"Dong Zhang is too polite, hehe!" Yao Hua smiled and was very calm.

After a few polite words, the three of them sat down separately, and Zeng Qian, who was getting deeper and deeper, personally made a pot of tea, and after making tea for the three of them, she left the reception room with Fan Xue, leaving the space for the three of them.

Yao Hua asked, "Dong Zhang, I heard that you are from the Telecommunications Bureau?" ”

Zhang Jingjun nodded, then looked at Yao Hua with admiration and said, "Mr. Yao, I heard that you are also from Dongou Telecommunications Bureau?" Speaking of which, when you and Ruan were able to give up this job to join the start-up Chenxing Computer Company at that time, it was really like a torch, and I couldn't compare to you! ”

Speaking of this incident back then, Yao Hua's eyes showed an unconcealable brilliance, and he was very proud, Zhang Jingjun's words could be said to tickle him.

Even Song Chen has a light on his face, reminiscing about the scene when he was thinking about starting a business.

At that time, Song Chen was just a college student who took a break from school to start a business, although he opened a computer room company to make him make money every day, but the start-up company "Dongou Chenxing Computer System Co., Ltd." was only a nameless start-up company.

Feeling the lack of talents, Song Chen on the one hand "eyed" Zhai Yan and tried his best to persuade her to join his company; On the one hand, we racked our brains to find ways to recruit middle and high-level students, especially the lack of technical management talents -- at that time, although there were Xu Xiaoying and Qiu Lin and other Dongou college students to help them, but the college students who did not graduate were obviously unable to support the technical level of the "Chenxing Computer"!

In desperation, Song Chen could only turn to Professor He Xinyu He, who teaches at Dongou University and has a good relationship with him, he is a professor of computer science at Dongou University, that is, the teacher of Xu Xiaoying Qiu Lin and others, and also the teacher of Yao Hua Ruan Likai!

"To make you laugh, in fact, there were many coincidences when I joined Chenxing Company, if it weren't for Professor He Xinyu's empowerment, which made us clear about the future we wanted, I'm afraid we are still just a self-righteous technocrat with an iron rice bowl!" Yao Hua was humble again and again, but the smugness in his words couldn't be concealed.

Yao Hua's words seemed to make Zhang Jingjun feel emotional, she sighed: "Chenxing Network is now very large, has jumped out of the small pattern of China, has its own place in the world, and the future is limitless!" On the contrary, although I have achieved something, I always feel that something is missing! ”

Song Chen smiled and said, "How could it be? Listening to Mr. Cai, although Feihua Company is subordinate to the Dongguang Provincial Telecommunications Bureau, the assets under direct management are very considerable, and Zhang Dong is too humble! ”

Zhang Jingjun smiled and gently and skillfully changed the topic to 163.neT: "I don't know what Song Dong thinks of the proposal I proposed a few days ago?" ”

Song Chen groaned slightly and said, "The asking price of 50 million is too high!" ”

Zhang Jingjun blinked quietly, did not answer, and waited for Song Chen's next words.

Seeing that Zhang Jingjun didn't answer, Song Chen sighed slightly and said: "163.neT core assets are more than one million free mailbox users, and one is a portal brand. The former is dispensable, and even has no intellectual property rights, and our free gmaIL Chinese users are only a lot more than 163.neT. Only 163.neT portal brands and tens of millions of loyal users who visit wΓ¨n every day are worth considering! ”

Zhang Jingjun pondered for a moment and then asked slowly, "What do you mean!" ”

Yao Hua said: "Zhang Dong, in fact, it is Chenxing Network that is interested in this acquisition proposal, and it is not a secret that the plan to build a portal has already been arranged on the schedule, and it is not shy to say that this acquisition is dispensable for us!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Jingjun frowned slightly, seemingly very disapproving.

Yao Hua smiled and said, "Dong Zhang, do you think that once we integrate our own portal into QQ, this portal will have more growth potential than 163.neT anyone."

Zhang Jingjun's heart froze, and after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but take a light breath.

Yao Hua's words are obviously not untargeted, but there is a strong hole card to support his strength, this hole card is QQ has tens of millions of users, even if there is only a 1o conversion rate, this nascent website is definitely not 163.neT can match.

Of course, that's just in terms of traffic!

In terms of Chinese users alone, although QQ dominates the online instant messaging market in China75, the user base is actually not much! Even if you include overseas Chinese around the world, there are only about 10 million registrations! ”

Zhang Jingjun admits that Yao Hua is full of confidence, but she still said: "Although QQ has a huge number of users, if you want to occupy a place among many strong portal competitors, traffic alone is not enough, your company lacks a mature operation team!" ”

Yao Hua said with a smile: "That's why I'm sitting here to discuss with you sincerely, Zhang Dong, the 163.neT operation team does not have its own team of reporters, and the content is all reprinted from traditional media reports, which seems to be not worth 50 million yuan, right?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Jingjun's tone froze, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "So, in your opinion, how much is 163.neT worth?" ”

"I know you're not satisfied with Mr. Cai's offer of 20 million yuan!" Yao Hua pondered for a moment, glanced at Song Chen, who was drinking tea and was silent, and then said to Zhang Jingjun, "Dong Zhang, our Chenxing Network can add another 10 million yuan on the basis of 20 million yuan!" ”

Million...... Zhang Jingjun groaned, if the NASDAQ stock market crash was not alive, and China's technology concept stocks were leaked, she would not accept such an offer anyway! However, the situation is like this, and in the face of the strong Chenxing network, she hesitated.

Song Chen said lightly: "Dong Zhang, I don't know when the NASDAQ stock market crash will pass, the longer it drags on, the greater the pressure on your funds!" I believe this acquisition is beneficial to both you and me! ”

Zhang Jingjun was silent for a long time, and slowly exhaled a breath: "...... Okay, but I'm going to get cash! ”

Yao Hua showed a bright smile and nodded: "No problem, just cash!" ”

The acquisition intention was agreed, and both parties breathed a sigh of relief, and their tone seemed relaxed. Song Chen looked at the woman in her thirties in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Dong Zhang, I heard that you and NetEase CEO Ding Lei are old acquaintances?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Jingjun said with a smile, "Ding Lei is a very good software architect, and he is responsible for the email system of our website!" In addition, we Feihua also have an investment in NetEase and have a little original shares! ”

Song Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Really? Why didn't you sell it before? Now NetEase's stock price has fallen from a dozen dollars to single digits, right? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingjun sighed lightly: "I didn't expect things to take a turn so quickly before, and now there is not much profit from cutting and stopping, so it is better to wait for the turnaround!" However, there are not many positions, and it has nothing to do with the big picture! ”

After a slight pause, Zhang Jingjun asked Song Chen with a little curiosity: "Why would Song Dong ask this question?" ”

Song Chen smiled: "It's pure curiosity!" ”

Zhang Jingjun let out an "oh", picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, and then thought of the other party's unusual understanding of NetEase when she talked to Cai Chongxin a few days ago, she couldn't help but shining, and couldn't help but hesitate to ask: "Could it be...... Are you interested in NetEase? ”

Before waiting for Song Chen to answer, she couldn't help but gasp for this speculation, and looked at the sunny big boy in front of her and was speechless for a while.

The three well-known domestic portals Sohu, NetEase, Sina, the official media China.com, and the foreign-funded Yahoo China have always been wary of Chenxing's involvement in the portal, coupled with the previous cooperation with Tmall.com to secretly move the move of "encircling and suppressing Chenxing", the attitude is undoubtedly hostile.

However, Chenxing has already formed a closed-loop ecosystem, even if it does not advertise to the portal, the "Chenxing model" still has excellent advertising resources - Baidu and googLe have excellent advertising capabilities, and now they have gradually won the favor of advertisers, which not only makes the portals uncomfortable, but even the founder of the portal, Yahoo, has expressed surprising hostility.

Let's ask, in this case, if Chenxing Holdings acquires China's top portal such as NetEase, this will undoubtedly put a bombshell in the industry! ――Even if the acquisition 163.neT is enough, it is enough for Zhang Chaoyang, Wang Zhidong, and Ding Lei to drink a pot!

Thinking of Song Chen's role of billions of dollars last year and no action, how can Zhang Jingjun not be frightened by this association?

Song Chen smiled faintly: "I am indeed interested in NetEase, but Ding Lei has an absolute controlling stake in NetEase, so he has never taken practical action!" ”

Until later generations, Ding Lei has always held NetEase's shares over 5O, without his will, it is difficult for outsiders to acquire NetEase. However, Song Chen knew that after the NASDAQ stock crash, NetEase's stock price fell directly into a "penny stock", and it was at this time that Ding Lei came up with the idea of selling NetEase, but was dissuaded by friends.

The reason why Song Chen wants to acquire NetEase, of course, is not for NetEase, an old Chinese portal! In fact, after the acquisition 163.neT Chenxing Network, the first phase of the closed loop of the "Chenxing Model" has been completed! The reason why he wants to acquire NetEase is to prevent Ding Lei from transforming NetEase into a "portal online game" company!

Song Chen knows very well that online games are different from other businesses, and it is difficult for this business to form an effective monopoly! Later, "Legend of Blood" flourished, cultivating a large number of netizens for China's online game industry, and there are still games such as "Stone Age", "Miracle" and "Ro" to challenge its position; The mmoRPG online game "World of Warcraft" is a thousand, and "CrossFire" and "League of Legends" are also not lacking in popularity......

So, what Song Chen can do is to minimize competitors!

Ding Lei and Chen Tianqiao are personal masterpieces, if there is a chance, Song Chen hopes that they will join his company to work for him! The history of Chen Tianqiao was disturbed by Song Chenyan zhΓ²ng, and now I don't know where the cat is; It's Ding Lei, it seems that he can fight for it!

It's just that the time is not yet ripe! (To be continued...!)
