Chapter 698 [Pinch Little Brother Ma]

On the Qingming Festival, Lin Zuhui worshiped his ancestors in Shunde, which alarmed the city officials to accompany him.

Returning home, that's probably the case. But then again, is this 'township' his township?

The 'township' in his previous life should be his real township!

In any case, it is nothing more than donating money, Lin Zuhui is very reasonable, no matter the 'township' in the previous life or the 'township' in this life, Lin Zuhui's donations have been hundreds of millions of RMB.

It is worth mentioning that there are two Lin Zuhui in this world, and the other is the appearance of Lin Zuhui in the previous life; Although Lin Zuhui has never seen 'himself', he has also entrusted someone to give 'his' parents some 'windfalls', and there is no problem in living a rich life in the city at present.

He doesn't worry about what his parents will become because of this wealth, because he knows that his parents are very honest people and will not take money to gamble, show off, etc.; Moreover, Lin Zuhui is concerned about the development of the situation, and his parents have already bought a big house and two sets of storefronts in the city where they work, and brought 'themselves' and their sister to live together, and run a restaurant business.

In short, a stable life.

Lin Zuhui didn't give too much, so as not to have an accident.

Lin Zuhui, led by Lu Bingwen, came to an office building in the Nanshan District of Pengcheng.

Brother Xiaoma, who was famous in later generations, had nervously led his partner to wait at the door, and when he saw Lin Zuhui coming, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

It turns out that Jingwei Capital has long been paying attention to the domestic instant communication market, and there are several companies doing it, and there are even Taiwanese people who have developed ICQ in the mainland. Therefore, some of Lin Zuhui's subordinates don't understand why ICQ doesn't do the mainland market.

Lin Zuhui doesn't need to explain so much to them, he just needs to pay attention to when Xiao Ma's QICQ will come out, when the Chinese version will be released, and then find the door at the right time.

At the beginning of January this year, Xiao Ma's QICQ had been released, and Lin Zuhui had seen his version and found that his version was easier for the market to accept than others'; I know that software is also a profound knowledge, and Xiao Ma can not only 'take it', but also 'make a second innovation on the original version', which is the real reason for his success.

Otherwise, there are so many ICQ companies in China today, why will he break through alone in the future, and even monopolize the market.

At this time, Brother Xiao Ma saw Lin Zuhui greeting him very friendly, and his psychology suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that after the Spring Festival this year, ICQ began to make a sudden effort to sue various copycat ICQ companies in the mainland; As the penguin boss, he is even more frightened, he didn't think about how much prospect QICQ can have, he just wants to make some money, even if ICQ buys his company, he will not hesitate at all.

The group came to Penguin's office building, which was very simple and cramped, and at first glance it was a typical startup, of course, it was better than the American tech tycoons who liked to start a business in a garage.

"Xiaoma, I heard President Lu say that your QICQ is the best version made in China, can you show me a demo?" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.

Brother Xiao Ma nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin." This way, please! ”

Then, Brother Xiao Ma was in a nervous mood, and even his hands trembled a little, after all, he knew very well what kind of person was in front of him. There are too many titles, any one of them can pinch him to death, don't look at his father's power.

And Lin Zuhui carefully watched Brother Xiaoma's demonstration and decided to invest in him.

That's right, investors.

Venture capital companies invest in Internet companies, and the first thing they always look at is the head of the enterprise, after all, the Internet copycat is very easy, and whoever can have the last laugh depends on the head.

After a demonstration, Lin Zuhui said: "This version is plagiarizing our ICQ, it's nothing more than a sinicization!" And the Chinese ICQ,We are also using it in Hong Kong。 After speaking, he looked at Brother Pony with a smile.

Xiao Ma was immediately embarrassed, ICQ has powerful functions and simple versions, which can be said to be very good. At this time, he didn't think of too many new ideas for a while, and it was almost a complete plagiarism.

"What Mr. Lin said is that ICQ is too powerful, and you have not entered the mainland, so it also makes us feel that Chinese people should use such excellent software."

Look, this consciousness will not lose the boss of trillions of enterprises in the future.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "We suddenly want to enter the mainland market, so we have sued a lot of copycat ICQs in the mainland this year. ”

Little Brother Ma was at a loss for a moment, and could only say: "This"

"Haha, don't be nervous, pony, I'm really going to trouble you, I still need to come here!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your generosity! So who are you coming to? ”

"How much has this company invested?"

"500,000 RMB"

"How about selling us 1 million?"

"No problem!"

This time it was Lin Zuhui's turn for a second, and then he laughed again.

"Just kidding you! Did President Lu tell you anything? ”

Brother Xiao Ma finally showed surprise, and then breathed a sigh of relief, before he said: "Well, President Lu said that Jingwei Capital wants to invest in our Penguin Company, and I said that the conditions are up to him!" ”

This is a fact, Xiao Ma believes that having Jingwei Capital investment not only means capital investment, but also means getting ICQ's experience and Jingwei Capital's human resources, which is good luck on the list.

Lin Zuhui said: "For mainland Internet companies, we are now vigorously supporting, and we will not directly invest in Internet companies in the mainland, except for Sina.com. Therefore, for the instant messaging market, we also investigated for a long time, found the one that best met the investment target, and then sued all other infringing companies. So, for the penguins, we just want 40% of the shares, as for the price, how much do you think to give? ”

Lu Bingwen had already been instructed by Lin Zuhui, so he said seriously: "Since we have decided to support an instant messaging company, we will consider the funds needed for the development of Penguin in the next few years until it goes public." So, we decided to invest $3.8 million in Penguin and then support it all. Even ICQ, on its part, will reach an agreement with the penguins and will not trouble the penguins in the future. ”

At present, ICQ has not been officially listed (in June), and Lin Zuhui can naturally do the master.

Brother Xiao Ma is very happy at this time, 40% of the shares are in exchange for nearly 30 million RMB, as well as all-round support, which is unimaginable.

"No problem, we very much welcome the investment of Matrix Capital!"

Lin Zuhui smiled, the reason why he increased his investment by about $4 million is that Penguin will not refinance before going public. Sometimes venture capital firms will deliberately raise the price of their investments in order to support the market, and the reason is as simple as that.

And as soon as the Chinese version of the penguin was launched this year, ICQ immediately set off a legal appeal in China, the purpose of which was to crack down on opponents and warn venture capital companies that this industry was in danger.

"By the way, QICQ can't be called by that name, just call it QQ!" Lin Zuhui said.

When Brother Xiao Ma heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Lin has changed well!" ”

Next, everyone chatted lightly.

Lin Zuhui's personal participation in this kind of investment is not outstanding, he is originally a blatant 'technology tycoon' in the American media, and has invested in many Internet giants in the United States.

Of course, Lin Zuhui actually did not support the growth of American Internet companies, such as Netscape, Yahoo, Amazon, etc., and he actually did not participate in any good proposals. mentioned to Amazon to develop Internet payment, but after all, it was an opportunity to rob Musk.

In the next time, Lin Zuhui plans to support domestic Internet companies, such as Alibaba, once it is launched, he will immediately invest.

After all, there is a Tsai Chongxin by Brother Ma's side, and it is easy to be preempted by other venture capitalists.

With these two Internet companies, Lin Zuhui can sit back and relax, and the rest of the projects are decided by Lu Bingwen himself.

After sitting for a while, Lin Zuhui left Penguin Company satisfied.

Lu Bingwen could see that the boss attached great importance to this company, so he decided to give Penguin some more resources. Matrix Partners has been rooted in the mainland for several years, and naturally knows a lot of talents, and at the same time, Matrix Partners is also familiar with the operation and listing process of the Internet.

So it's not a big problem, of course, Lu Bingwen also knows that the head of the company that the boss values must be capable, so Jingwei Capital can only assist in everything, but not seize power.
