Chapter 348: ICQ Global Village (Fifth Watch, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
According to Waldegard's algorithm, even if it is such a small car, it can be taken down with 100 million US dollars, which is enough to make himself laugh, and 100 million US dollars is indeed a headache for Lin Zheng: it takes nearly 870 million to convert it into RmB.
Lin Zheng pulled the RmB in his hand to see how much money it could be converted into: from the end of last year to the present, about 60,000 VCD players have been sold, gritting his teeth, and about 5ooo can be withdrawn without affecting the construction and company operation of several projects under construction;
The mobile phone sinicization project is obviously not as profitable as last year, but it has also accumulated almost 100 million funds;
Tianyuan building is not bad, probably able to draw out 2oo million, the situation of the LCD panel factory is very good, thanks to the blessing of the high economic development, now the LCD factory is working overtime to produce, and the product cannot meet the needs of the market, forget it, although it makes some money, it will be used for the next expansion and reproduction, and the money will not move;
As for the Walkman project...... Ahem, making money is making money, but that money is all used to make a name and sponsor the audition spokesperson event, and one or two million is really embarrassing to take it out.
In this way, you can raise 170 million, about 2ooo dollars? As soon as this number came out, Lin Zheng suddenly felt a little sad: Nima thought that his buddy was already a rich man, but he didn't expect to count it with his fingers, and he was still a poor ghost! This is not counting whether the state can agree to give itself so much foreign exchange.
Thinking of the next cooperation with Texas Instruments and the cooperation with Belas, all of which cost money, Lin Zheng sighed: Money is really not enough to spend.
Fortunately, this money does not seem to need to be taken out immediately, and the research expenses in the early stage can be squeezed out from the car dealership...... Well, in the future, the car dealership can't be called the champion car dealership, Waldegard is determined to set up a new company to operate this smartcity car project, Lin Zheng has no opinion on Waldegaard's construction, but with the most evil intentions, Lin someone gave this company a name that doesn't seem to have anything special: Tesla.
I hope that Musk's kid will want a more chic name by then, huh. But it seems that Musk's kid is not the founder of Tesla? Lin Zheng, who was more than 1o years ago, was not very sure to comfort Elon, who was just 24 years old and still knew where to stay. Elon Musk.
But as it stands, is it time to bring in venture capital or partners, or can we approach Ford? It seems that when Lao Wa introduced himself to the mini car project cooperated by Daimler and the Swiss Microelectronics Group, it was not Ford who rejected them?
…………………………………………
While pondering how to make a fortune out of Americans, Lin Zheng did not forget the second stop of his trip: Inetbsp in Silicon Valley; IcQ is worthy of being called "the greatest innovation in the Internet era" software by the American media, since the high-profile debut at the indos95 conference. In a short period of time, the number of global users of IcQ has exceeded 5oo!
3oo0,000 registered users, this is simply a number that makes all Internet practitioners feel dizzy: with these 5oo0,000 users, you can take this report card to ask major venture capital companies for investment, and we will not give him a chance to meet if the investment amount is less than 5ooo US dollars......
But Lin Zheng is very dissatisfied with this number: only 5oo thousand? Not as many penguin users as a few years later in a province in China!
"Boss, a lot of Internet users in Europe are asking us right now. Hopefully we can set up servers in their own countries, open their native Chinese version of IcQ, I think now is our best opportunity, we will not only launch the multi-Chinese version of IcQ, but also set up servers in all European countries, we want to let those who dare to imitate us die a miserable death, we want IcQ to appear on every personal computer that can connect to the Internet, so that IcQ can truly turn the earth into a global village! Benier said ambitiously.
It turns out. Lin Zheng chose this executive officer does have two brushes, as a high-achieving student of Haval mBa, Benier is not only ambitious, ambitious, but also long-term enough, as early as his early days as the executive officer of IcQ company, in the face of the situation that IcQ only has Chinese and English versions, Benier believes that IcQ will definitely sweep the entire online world, IcQ's deposit. It will truly turn the earth into a real village: a global village.
In order to achieve this goal, IcQ now needs to do two things, launch a multi-Chinese version of IcQ, and prepare to set up servers in European countries.
But the future of IcQ is promising, but it also faces a very serious problem: there will definitely be instant messaging and chat software that imitates IcQ.
In order to cope with this situation, he strongly asked Lin Zhengjian to immediately open a multi-Chinese version of IcQ, and actively contacted telecommunications service providers in various countries. Prepare for the next set up of servers in various countries.
It turns out that Benier's vision is indeed poisonous enough, and there are indeed some instant chat software similar to IcQ in Europe and the United States, and after analysis by the company's engineers, almost all of these software are imitations of IcQ. Even the code in it has a lot of plagiarism; Benier did not deserve to be paid such a high salary to Lin Zheng, and had already made a corresponding plan waiting for these guys, after these chat tools imitating IcQ appeared, Benier immediately activated the corresponding plan, and a strongly-worded lawyer's letter was sent to these companies or studios that imitated IcQ's instant chat software, asking them to stop this infringement immediately, otherwise IcQ will sue them for losing their underwear...... Or they can choose to join Inetbsp; On the one hand, it is necessary to compete with the mature and accepted IcQ for the market, and there is no chance of winning; On the one hand, there is an olive branch extended by IcQ, and the fool also knows how to choose, and in a short period of time, Benier has gathered a large number of technical talents for Lin Zheng.
"You have the final say in this matter," Lin Zheng shrugged, "We have agreed at the beginning, I am only responsible for the general direction of the IcQ exhibition, the specific work is done by you, the multi-Chinese version and the establishment of servers in European countries are what we have agreed on a long time ago, as long as you feel that the time is right, you can do it at any time." ”
Sure enough, hearing Lin Zheng's words, Benier was very happy, the boss respected the agreement he had made with him, which made him feel very comfortable, "I think, European users have long been hungry and thirsty," Taking this opportunity, Benier proposed a new idea to Lin Zheng, "Boss, I think that while we are exhibiting in Europe, we should also consider South America and the Middle East." ”
Lin Zheng shook his head, "The Middle East can be slowed down, but I think you have overlooked a place. ”
"Where?" Benier was a little unconvinced.
"Asia, especially Japan, is a country with a population of hundreds of millions," Lin Zheng looked at Benier, "Mr. Benier, don't you think you have completely forgotten about Japan?" ”
Japan? Benier was stunned for a moment, if it weren't for the boss's reminder, he would have really forgotten about the country.
With the reminder of the boss, Benier immediately realized how failed his strategy was: yes, the economic and network situation in Asia has been relatively ideal for all these years, and it is time to promote IcQ in Asia, and there are several countries with a population of hundreds of millions alone.
"I made a mistake in my job," Benier said crisply, admitting his mistake immediately, "By the way, boss, there's something else I think needs to report back to you." ”
"Huh?" Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows, what could make Benier say to himself so strictly? He couldn't help but be a little curious.
"AOL has offered $5ooo dollars to acquire our Inetbsp;" 5ooo million dollars? Lin Zheng stopped, turned his head and looked at Benier in surprise, "Are you sure you're not kidding, or don't have a zero on a few faxes or something?" ”
"They are telephone quotes, and there should not be such an oolong as one less zero."
"Oh, then how did you sue them?"
"I tell them I need to report back to you."
Lin Zheng's brows furrowed, he was very dissatisfied with Benier's work, very dissatisfied, just now he thought that Benier did a very good job, "Mr. Benier, you should know Bill. Mr. Gates paid $4ooo for 1o% of our shares, and now there's a bastard who's willing to pay $5ooo for our full ...... Sue me, if you were me, what would you do? ”
"In the future, if there are such bastards who want to pick up the bargain, I will let them get out of the way immediately!" Benier was not stupid either, and immediately realized how wrong he had made on this issue and immediately made his position clear to his boss.
"That's right," Lin Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "With these $4ooo dollars, we don't need external financing at all, so in the future, no matter what venture capital company, foundation or the like wants to invest in IcQ, you will say 'Fuckyou!'" '. ”
"Okay boss, I'll greet them 'well'." Benier nodded again and again, and the thought that he could actually point at the managers of those high-ranking venture capital firms and scold "Fuckyou!", Benier's excited nose was a little red.
