Li Zhaojun handed the business card to the front desk: "I have already made an appointment with your Mr. Ma." ”

The two were then led to a small, separate office by the front desk. Behind the head-mounted monitor on the desk was a man with glasses, with a sallow complexion and a thin face. It can be seen that the mental state is very average.

Of course this man Chen Bo knows, it is Xiao Ma Ge Ma Teng, the head of the Penguin Empire.

Brother Xiao Ma saw someone visiting, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Li Zhaojun, senior financial advisor of Goldman Sachs Group. Li Zhaojun took the initiative when he came up, and the aura of the whole person changed, giving people a very confident and strong feeling. Then he pointed to Chen Bo who was standing behind her, "This is Xiao Chen, Chen Bo." ”

didn't explain too much, after all, Chen Bo's role is a horse boy, the kind who carries a bag and has no lines.

"Hello, hello." Ma Teng shook hands with the two with some crampedness and nervousness.

Chen Bo smiled slightly, "Hello, Mr. Ma." He retreated behind Li Zhaojun and turned on the stealth mode.

"Please take a seat, Xiao Li, pour two glasses of water."

There is a two-seater sofa against the wall, just enough space for two people. Chen Bo sat down next to Li Zhaojun, and the elegant smell of perfume hit him, refreshing people's hearts and lungs.

Ma Teng casually pulled over a chair and sat on the other side of the coffee table, his hands hanging on his knees a little stiff, Chen Bo could completely feel that Xiao Ma was not confident and nervous.

Li Zhaojun took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Ma Teng.

"This is our group's acknowledgment of receipt for your company's investment application." Li Zhaojun sat precariously and said professionally and solemnly, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Ma. After careful consideration by the Group, we will not invest in your project. ”

Ma Teng took the folder with a slight trembling hand, his eyes full of disappointment.

"We have just surpassed 100,000 online users now. The number of registered users exceeded 5 million. "His voice is not loud, with a soft southern accent." The average user spends 3 hours online. ”

"I can understand your feelings very well. U.S. headquarters is now cautious about all Internet projects. Although the investment was not significant, the Group's risk control department was unable to pass the resolution. And IMHO, the profit model of this product is still very vague, which is the main factor that the group finally chose to give up. ”

"It will be fine in the future, and it will definitely make money." Ma Huateng's voice became smaller and smaller, and he shimpered.

"And we have also received news that AOL Group, the parent company of ICQ, has faxed a lawyer's letter to your company. OICQ has infringed ICQ's trademark rights. ”

Ma Teng's face became more and more embarrassed, OICQ was originally developed after the Israeli instant messaging software ICQ, and AOL Group spent tens of millions of dollars to acquire ICQ, which was only a few hundred thousand. I also did it with this idea, who would have thought that major domestic companies would scoff at communication software with low technical thresholds. Now the bubble of the Internet is slowly bursting, and the capital market is unanimously singing about the decline of network concept companies.

AOL Group did send a lawyer's letter recently, solemnly demanding that the name be changed immediately, and also asked for a large amount of compensation, but now the company's $2.2 million financing last year is now about to bottom out, and it really can't withstand a bigger blow.

Ma Teng looked melancholy, and Chen Bo still couldn't bear it in his eyes. But there is no way, this is the bloody reality.

Greatness is boiled out, as long as he can withstand the pressure, he will naturally be able to be reborn in the future.

"Why don't you change your name to QQ?" Chen Bo sat on the side and blurted out.

Ma Teng and Li Zhaojun turned their heads to look at him at the same time, only to find that there was a stealth sixth baby here.

Chen Bo was quick to speak for a while, and he felt quite embarrassed, so he could only laugh. "Excuse me, you go on."

Li Zhaojun didn't seem to think it was inappropriate, but asked, "Why?" ”

Ma Teng didn't speak, and looked at Chen Bo with a question mark on his face.

"The end of OICQ is a Q, and Cute means cute in English, which is very similar to the pronunciation of Q. So take a QQ with overlapping sounds. It feels cute, closer, and easier for young people to accept. It's like that penguin logo. It is also in line with the habits of Chinese, I am also an OICQ user, and some netizens in private will call it QQ for convenience. The four letters of OICQ are too troublesome and tongue-twisting to say, especially for users who are not highly educated, do not understand English, and are new to the Internet. ”

"Well, you keep talking. I'm just a little suggestion. Chen Bo looked at the two of them, ready to continue to turn on the stealth mode.

Li Zhaojun didn't say anything more, picked up the leather bag and got up, and said apologetically, "I personally am still very optimistic about your products, but this is the group's decision." I'm very sorry."

Chen Bo had no choice but to get up and shake hands with Ma Teng, who was disappointed, and said goodbye, "Come on!" I'm optimistic about you! ”。

"I'll consider your suggestion." Ma Teng said earnestly and handed over his business card. "There's time to connect!" Chen Bo said in his heart, wouldn't he treat me as an employee of Goldman Sachs? But if you frame this business card, it should be worth a lot of money in ten years.

There was nothing to say all the way, and according to Li Zhaojun's meaning, he found a café with a good environment and sat down.

Chen Bo ordered a cappuccino, while Li Zhaojun chose a bitter cup of coffee.

The waiter quickly brought it, Chen Bo threw the milk and sugar into it, and Li Zhaojun was so elegant that he pinched the coffee cup and took a sip.

"You're bitter?" Chen Bo looked at the black coffee in the cup in front of Li Zhaojun and asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"People who choose bitter coffee like to have trouble with themselves. Why is it so bitter, it's nothing more than feeling uncomfortable in my heart, and I want to use the bitterness of coffee to dilute the bitterness in my heart. ”

"What about you" Li Zhaojun smiled reluctantly, did not answer directly, and asked rhetorically.

"Coffee is like life, it is bitter. So add milk, add sugar. It's interesting to add a little extraordinaryness to an ordinary life. Chen Bo said, took a sip, and smashed his mouth. Well, the fragrant coffee is mixed with the sweet aroma of milk, which is the proper coffee.

Li Zhaojun didn't speak, gently put down the cup, took two sugar cubes and threw them into the cup, and slowly stirred them with a small spoon. Pick it up again and take a sip, it's really not so bitter.

"I want Wang Zhaojun to go out of the Huns to settle the world, and now Li Zhaojun is out of the other side of the ocean.!" Chen Bo quipped, "I'll call you Sister Jun in the future, I have been very envious of those children who have sisters since I was a child." ”

"Well, I've always wanted a brother. But it hasn't been as he wished" Li Zhaojun smiled, his face was like a peach blossom, and he was very good-looking.

"Nacheng, in the future, my younger brother will be under the command of Sister Jun, before and after the saddle, dare not die!" Chen Bo hugged his fists and acted like a child of the rivers and lakes. caused Li Zhaojun to laugh.

"You little slippery head, your mouth is like honey. I don't know how many girls I coaxed. ”

"Why, I'm still single." Chen Bo was embarrassed, and it was just a temporary idea just now, which really didn't match his usual state. It is probably also the result of being more relaxed in front of Li Zhaojun.

"I'm feeling better."

"Well, it's much better. Actually, it's nothing. Some of his own troubles" Li Zhaojun obviously did not want to talk more about his private affairs. "Tell me what you've been up to lately."

"I'm working on the entertainment site."

"The same one you said last time? When will it go live? ”

"It's so fast, and now the servers are not available. Now the Internet industry is in decline, and this road is not easy to follow. Chen Bo sighed, "You also know that the Internet was thrown at money in the early stage. I'm a young man with nothing. ”

"Which three nothings?" Li Zhaojun asked with interest.

"No money, no house, no daughter-in-law."

"Hah...... Ha. Li Zhaojun was amused by Chen Bo again, and couldn't help laughing for a while. attracted a lot of attention, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
