Chapter 10: Changing the World

"Mr. Ren, isn't $35 billion too much! Although I am very bullish on your company. The head of Sequoia Capital said with a frown.

"Attention!" Ren Hong suddenly emphasized, "The 35 billion I said doesn't mean XlouS!" Rather, it refers only to the value of this product in real time and online mutual translation, and the initial value of the display. ”

"What? That's impossible. Li Taosheng denied on the spot.

Ren Hong glanced at both sides, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now is the era of highly developed information sharing, globalization is the trend, the Internet makes the world more connected, and everything in the world is interconnected. Instant online translation is the business of global Internet users, and every Internet user who grows up is a potential consumer of instant online translation, because people are born to need to communicate, and it is impossible for people to learn the languages of major countries and regions around the world. I would like to emphasize that instant online translation is the business of Internet users around the world, how many Internet users are there in the world now? 3.3 billion! Except for half of these 3.3 billion people, they only need to spend 15 yuan for one month in their lives, how much can you calculate? Of course, my statement is not very scientific, but it also reflects the huge potential of real-time online translation. ”

It's absolutely insanely big data.

"Dare to ask Mr. Ren what is the valuation of XlouS and whether he can accept Sequoia Capital's investment." The person in charge of Sequoia Capital did not refute, which is tantamount to indirectly acknowledging the great value of instant online translation.

When Ren Hong heard this, he paused, and replied calmly: "XlouS!" Invaluable! ”

"Huh!" The person in charge of Sequoia Capital smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Ren, I admit that every company is priceless in the eyes of the founder, which is understandable, but then again, there is nothing in this world that cannot be clearly priced, what do you say?" ”

"Indeed!" Ren Hong admitted, but asked: "I want to ask if you have seen the logo of XlouS?" ”

"Haha! Mr. Ren is really ambitious. When the person in charge of Sequoia Capital heard this, he immediately smiled, he naturally saw the logo of XlouS company.

XlouS: Changing the world

The first time he saw such a slogan, he just sneered.

Ren Hong smiled lightly and asked, "Then how do you think Your Excellency can give him an exact valuation of such a company?" ”

"If there really is such a company in this world, it is indeed priceless, forgive Ge, I don't think XlouS is such a company, although he is currently so full of potential, there is no such company in this world." The other party replied calmly.

"Huh!" Ren Hong smiled lightly, did not continue to argue on this topic, and said, "Let's talk about the existing products!" At present, the launch of instant online translation is only the initial version, that is, the text translation version. The next version will add phonetic and text-to-text translations, which is even more difficult and just icing on the cake, but I think it's worth it and a huge profit point, although version 2.0 can't compare to the original version. ”

"What? Can you also translate between speech and text? The person in charge of Sequoia Capital said in shock when he heard this.

"Is this possible?" Li Taosheng was a little unconvinced.

"Why is this impossible?" Ren Hong asked rhetorically, and the other party was suddenly unable to refute, and instant online mutual translation became possible from impossible.

That's the beauty of technology.

The heads of the two venture capital firms are silent, this is indeed a valuable startup, but its investment and return are a little different from what it used to be. But on the other hand, investing in this company is almost clear, it is almost impossible to lose money, high risk and high return, and there is almost no risk in investing in this company, so there is no return of red-eyedness.

"IMHO! Mr. Ren, even if I admit that everything you said is true, but you don't have enough funds to expand, if you don't accept venture capital, I'm afraid your product will not be effectively promoted for several years. Li Taosheng said.

The two sides talked for a long time without a concrete result, and at this time, the attention of the three parties was attracted by the sound of talking and laughing from downstairs.

The heads of Sequoia Capital and IDG Technology Venture Capital Fund twitched when they saw the young figure below.

Didn't expect Mark? Zuckerberg is here in person, and it's clear that this product attracted him to the company, and it's a testament to how amazing the potential of this product is for this company. You know, the person who is attracted is the helmsman of a market value of more than $400 billion, and at this moment, both Sequoia Capital and IDG have made up their minds to share a share of the benefits.

Ren Hong showed a faint smile after seeing this scene, "The person who sent the money is here." ”

Li Taosheng and the person in charge of Sequoia Capital didn't understand what he meant, but Ren Hong had already begun to issue an eviction order, "Everyone, it seems that there is no agreement today, so let's change the day, I believe that as long as you have enough sincerity, cooperation is not impossible." ”

The other party's words are obvious.

"Indeed! We'll talk in detail another day, so we won't bother. Li Taosheng said with a smile, he had long forgotten about Ren Hong's previous ignorance, they were all qualified businessmen, and qualified businessmen would never get along with the dollar.

Ge also resigned! I am looking forward to working with your company! The head of Sequoia Capital also laughed.

Ren Hong nodded and smiled: "Forgive me for not being able to send it off in person, please do it!" ”

Seeing the other party's departure, Ren Hong calmed down, and then walked into the classroom, the interior was quiet, and there was no sound of tapping on the keyboard, which made Ren Hong slightly stunned, looked over, and found that several roommates were looking at him.

"What are you doing here? Turned wood? Ren Hong said.

After a long time, Zhang Han said with a look of admiration: "Boss! You're going to be my boss from now on! ”

"Where the hell is the elm head we know, the top student who spends all day in the library?" Zhou Hui said stunned.

"This is simply a veteran who has been in the mall for many years, an all-rounder! There is wood! Chen Kai continued.

When Ren Hong heard this, he immediately smiled and looked at everyone, "Hehe, what you see is only the tip of the iceberg." ”

"35 billion dollars, I can't believe that XlouS is worth 35 billion dollars after renting a few hundred square meters, a few computers, and renting a few servers to build a website! My worldview is going to be messed up, when is it so easy to make money? Zhang Han said stunned, and so did the others.

"Okay, brothers, I'll announce something important to you in a few days, it's important to you and me, I'll say hello to you first, but before that, Facebook founder Zuckerberg is here, and now it's time to go to the second floor." Ren Hongwei touched it and said.

"What? Zuckerberg? The crowd was shocked again.

"I'm sending money!" Ren Hong laughed, then coughed dryly, his eyes were full of blazing gaze, and said, "Okay!" What to do, what to do! Xiaozha founded Facebook in the dormitory, Steve Jobs created Apple in the garage, and we created XlouS in the classroom at Tsinghua University! Therefore, they are not unattainable, unattainable, and one day, we at XlouS will also stand at their height and even surpass them! Because XlouS ......"

"Change the world!" Everyone shouted excitedly in unison. When Ren Hong's unique voice said this paragraph, it seemed to have some magic charm, and everyone present was enthusiastic when they heard it. Ren Hong's performance has the characteristics of a company founder, although he is only 19 years old, every time he talks to his subordinates, he can generate a strong centripetal force, so that everyone is so passionate.
