1099. Wang Teng's Ambition
This guy, it's all this time, do you still need to play tricks with yourself?
Li Yifan smiled slightly, but after thinking about it, Wang Teng must have his reasons for doing this.
400 million US dollars, even if no one shares a part of the two, there will definitely be a lot left, and what to do with this money is indeed a question.
At present, the forty thieves website has embarked on the track of a virtuous circle, and there is no need to invest too much money in it, and it is not yet a climate to pick up the leakage network, even if you throw more money into this website at this time, it is useless, after all, when private computers have not yet become popular, even if you throw more money, you can't immediately change people's consumption concepts.
What's more, the lack of development of the network is not only due to people's consumption concepts, but also due to the limitations of hardware measures, such as the lack of popularity of private computers and networks, and the underdevelopment of the logistics industry.
Therefore, Wang Teng said that it is enough to set aside 100 million US dollars in reserve funds for this website in the next few years, which is not false at all.
If this money is exchanged for ten years later, when the major e-commerce websites fight each other's price wars, it may not be anything at all, but in this year, the amount of this money alone is enough to show Wang Teng's sincerity for the future development of the network.
But what to do with the rest of the money? The remaining 400 million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate, is more than 300 million yuan, which is definitely an astronomical amount in this year.
You have to find a good place to go, or you will be moldy in the bank, which would be too unwise.
Li Yifan quietly glanced at Wang Teng on the opposite side. only to find the guy opposite. was also quietly looking at him. The eyes of the two of them touched in the air, and they couldn't help but smile.
Wang Teng was a little leisurely, like an examiner who had just finished giving students an exam, while Li Yifan was racking his brains to ponder the industry that Wang Teng said he valued.
As Wang Teng's most important partner in the future, he doesn't want this guy to look down on him.
This Wang Teng was first engaged in websites, and long before he dared to be interested in e-commerce. He was more interested in portals.
You must know that he used to be very good friends with Yang Zhiyuan, one of the founders of the American portal, and even when Yang Zhiyuan came to China several times, he personally went to Yang Zhiyuan as a guide, and the relationship between the two was very unusual, and there were also very profound exchanges on the future development of the Internet.
Later, if he hadn't entered the Ministry of Commerce, started to help people in the Ministry of Commerce make websites, came into contact with e-commerce, and understood the charm of e-commerce, I am afraid he would have had a greater desire. I guess I'm going to do a portal.
This can be seen from his personal experience in his previous life. The elder is now two years later, and at that time, the forty thieves under his name have already achieved great success.
It has become a well-deserved NO.1 website in the field of domestic e-commerce, and at that time, Yahoo took a billion dollars and wanted to come to him to pick peaches.
In fact, it is said to be one billion, but it is less than one billion at all, and it should be more than six billion dollars in cash in total, plus some of the collateral taken from SoftBank, plus a Yahoo China portal.
At the beginning, this Yahoo China was worth more than 100 million US dollars, but in the end, after thinking about it again, Wang Teng still agreed to the Americans' conditions, especially his attitude towards the Yahoo Huaguo, which is very puzzling.
After taking over this portal, he was very interested in this website for a while, and later invested a lot of money in it.
It's a pity that this portal with an American background has always had a problem of adapting to the soil and water in China, which may also be because there are too many American managers in this website who have a lot of connections.
In order to maintain the relationship with Yahoo, Wang Teng could not be ruthless to these people, until Yang Zhiyuan came out of the mountain for the second time, and after he was ousted again, when he went to the United States to communicate about the future development of Yahoo, he was despised by Yahoo's new heir.
He angrily chose to break his wrist and no longer inject money into that Yahoo Huaguo, and his concern for this website has also changed from the original enthusiasm to the later ignorance, and finally until the company went bankrupt and collapsed, and he had a lip service with the Americans for a while.
You must know that although this Yahoo Huaguo was used as collateral to Wang Teng, the Americans still left a lot of nails and backdoors in this company, which led to Wang Teng's management of this company later, which was often constrained by many aspects, and eventually led to his complete loss of interest in this company, and finally he hated such a portal.
But now this time period is only 2002, and it is also the real emerging stage of the domestic Internet tide, this time period, it seems that various domestic portals are emerging in an endless stream.
Even if there are already three portals, there are still many kinds of websites, which have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, constantly trying to impact the status of these three portals.
And now that he has spare money and a status in the rivers and lakes, can Wang Teng withstand such a temptation?
You must know that although he is now engaged in the e-commerce industry, in fact, he has never given up on running a portal.
Thinking of this, Li Yifan basically had a judgment in his heart, and then he turned his head to look at Wang Teng, this old man was still smiling at this time, Li Yifan gritted his teeth, and then said.
"Hehe, if Brother Wang really wants to spend this money, I think it's better to invest in the Internet, after all, we are more familiar with this aspect."
"Oh? Yifan, what do you mean? ”
"Gotcha! Brother Wang is at this time, are you still hiding with me? I'm guessing you're thinking, it's on the portal, right? ”
Li Yifan smiled and said his guess, and Wang Teng, who was sitting opposite, immediately slapped his thigh.
"It's worthy of Li Yifan, your vision is really not covered, what I admired most about my brother was your vision, and now your kid's vision is still vicious enough. To be honest, I really wanted to work on this portal. Ay! In the past few years, don't look at me in the field of e-commerce, I seem to have a very good life, but I am still a little unconvinced! Back then, that XXX, as well as CCC, and even that VVV, we were all people who entered the industry together, but everyone chose different directions. Look at it, XXX, his current Somao network has become one of the domestic portals, and then there is that CCC, you look at his 183 network, and now it is the hottest portal in China, I heard that it will go to Xiangjiang to be listed. Look at other people's grades, look at my brother's current grades, hey, say that I don't envy, jealousy and hate, that must be too fake. And now the trend of this portal is quite popular, so I'm just like entering this circle to test the water......"
Wang Teng really didn't treat Li Yifan as an outsider, he directly told everything he thought in his heart, and even his envy, jealousy and hatred of those people were not hidden at all.
Hearing Wang Teng's words, Li Yifan couldn't help but smile bitterly twice in his heart, brother!
Don't look at these people, the scenery in front of you, but ten years later, these people, can you have the scenery?
At that time, just by picking up one leak network, you were already the real NO.1 in our domestic Internet trend, and the few you just mentioned, weren't they all yesterday's yellow flowers at that time?
Don't look at the scenery of a few of them now, but they can't last long.
For example, CCC's 183 network, after receiving overseas financing, is indeed in the limelight for a while, but he chose to set up his headquarters in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, which is his biggest mistake.
After all, you have to choose to set up a headquarters in the domestic political and cultural center, and you are in such a safe corner, which shows the limitations of your strategic vision.
This CCC has indeed made his 183 listed, and even next year, he will rely on a boom to become the new richest man in China.
But later, after the heat passed, it took less than a year for his wealth to shrink rapidly, and even died.
And a few years later, his barely three major portal titles were directly topped by the later little penguins.
And in the so-called three major portals in later generations, except for such an old wave with an official background, haven't the others all changed their taste?
It's the little penguin that comes from behind, and there is another thousand-degree search, which should be the opponent you pay attention to!
However, Li Yifan can't say these words to Wang Teng, after all, such a prospect of Internet development, except for him, who has come over, others will definitely not be able to understand and experience.
Now Wang Teng seems to be obsessed with this portal, if you don't let him do it, he has to be anxious with you, and he is a stubborn person himself, if you don't go his way this time, on the one hand, it will make the relationship between the two cracks, and on the other hand, it is also very likely that he will do it quietly.
So he had to be like the best of both worlds, not only not to hurt the harmony between the two, but also to allow Wang Teng to continue to implement his dream.
And is it really not profitable to engage in such a portal? It doesn't seem like it, but the key is to see what you do? (To be continued......)
