Zheng Wentong didn't want to go, after all, Slope Capital is just a rookie in the capital market, and it is difficult to even be familiar in front of Ahri Horse, Penguin Horse, Qiandu Li, Ding Sanshi and Rebus.

Cousin Yang Jianbin's driver's license has been obtained, and he has become Zheng Wentong's full-time driver and personal assistant.

The little aunt is still working hard to pass subject three, but there are a lot of drivers and cars in Ji's apartment, whether it is Jianwen or Zheng Anguo, she can make a cameo appearance as a driving school instructor to teach her.

Yang Jianbin wanted to follow Zheng Wentong to the first World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen to meet the world and worship these Internet giants up close.

After Ahri was listed on the NASDAQ in September, his shares have risen all the way, and Mr. Ma is proud of his personal net worth to surpass Li Chaoren and become the new richest man in Asia.

"Jianbin, this meeting is of a relatively high level, with many big leaders and big names in the industry participating, and some of the meetings are not open to the public."

"Even if you go with me, you may not have the opportunity to get up close and personal with these bigwigs." Zheng Wentong tried to dispel his cousin's plan to go to Wuzhen to see the excitement.

"Brother Tong, I am now your full-time driver and personal assistant, and I should have followed you."

"Big brother asked me to listen to your instructions, talk less, do more things, and have the ability to see, it's really not good, I'll wait for you outside the scenic spot to finish the meeting." Yang Jianbin didn't care.

"The conference is going to be held for three days, so you are either in the hotel or in the car every day, which is too boring." Zheng Wentong felt that it was no problem for him to drive a Mercedes-Benz to a meeting.

"The second brother told me that the secretary and the driver are the rich man's own people. You also want to cultivate me and give me a future, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you and not lose face for you. Yang Jianbin expressed his determination.

"Well, since you want to go and breathe, let's go together. The family doesn't speak two words, as long as no outsiders are present, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me at any time. ”

Zheng Wentong inquired about Yu Jianjun of the Himalayas and Cai Haoyu of miHoYo were invited to participate in this meeting, and Zheng Wentong also wanted to communicate with the two face-to-face and talk about the investment of Slope Capital in their company.

On the afternoon of November 17, Zheng Wentong and Yang Jianbin drove to Wuzhen. The staff of the scenic spot have been in place in advance, and they are checking Zheng Wentong's certificate. pieces and conference invitations later, a beautiful woman in white. The police guided Yang Jianbin to park the Mercedes-Benz S400L in the parking lot outside the scenic spot.

"My goodness, the scenic spot will be closed to the public now, and the pomp and circumstance of you Internet tycoons is really big enough."

"Don't compare me with this group of bigwigs, Slope Capital has not received an invitation letter this year, I belong to the rubbing meeting, and I came here hard."

Yang Jianbin smiled, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't receive it in the first session, there will definitely be one next year, and there will be more than one." ”

After investing in Station B, Zheng Wentong and Xu Ru from the Investment Department visited Puhai Himalayan Technology Co., Ltd. and dealt with Yu Jianjun.

In May 14, Himalaya has completed a round of financing, and the company is valued at $34.11 million.

The investment institutions are all overseas capital, and SIG Haina Asia Ventures, KPCB and Sierra Ventures have completed a financing of 11.5 million US dollars for Himalaya.

Yu Jianjun is undoubtedly a CEO who is very good at telling stories to investors, from 14 to 21 years, Himalaya has carried out as many as 9 rounds of huge financing, and the three shocks to the listing have failed, and the valuation of Himalaya's company has risen.

Yu Jianjun was waiting for Zheng Wentong in the B&B hotel where he was staying, and Zheng Wentong, as a junior, stepped forward to shake hands first, "Mr. Yu, hello, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

Yang Jianbin followed behind Zheng Wentong, remained silent, and sat aside.

Yu Jianjun invited Zheng Wentong to sit down, "I thought that Mr. Zheng would bring Ms. Xu to Wuzhen this time, Mr. Zheng has changed an assistant?" ”

Last time Zheng Wentong went to visit the Himalayas, Yu Jianjun was very impressed by the glamorous Xu Ru, and envied Zheng Wentong for finding such an informed and interesting beautiful female assistant. Zheng Wentong did not explain that Xu Ru was actually an employee of the investment department, not an assistant to the general manager.

The proprietress of the B&B got on a pot of dragon wells, and Yu Jianjun began to greet Zheng Wentong, "I think the site of this meeting is well chosen, the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the small bridge and flowing water, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, leaving the hustle and bustle of the city, my heart is a lot more peaceful." ”

"It's true that we're so busy every day that we wish we could have 48 hours a day, and this time it's a busy time." Zheng Wentong tasted the tea and agreed.

Yu Jianjun scoffed, but he didn't show it on his face. The founders of Internet companies like this are of course very busy every day.

Zheng Wentong's slope capital was established a few months ago, and he has also invested in a B station, and he is embarrassed to say that he is busy?

"There is no way, we are born to work hard, and domestic private entrepreneurs are too tired. After the company goes public, I will hire a professional manager to take care of the company, retreat behind the scenes, and spend more time with my family. Yu Jianjun was deeply touched.

"By the way, Mr. Yu, your company and Xuan. How is the infringement lawsuit of Thunder Entertainment? Zheng Wentong asked a question of concern.

As the industry's leading audio platform, Himalaya has never started. With the official permission of Chinese Network, five well-known online novels such as "Douluo Continent" and "Panlong" have been uploaded.

Yu Jianjun's face was not very good, Zheng Wentong This is which pot is not open and which pot is not opened. The court has pronounced a judgment and demanded that Himalaya pay 150,000 yuan in compensation to Xuan. Thunder Entertainment.

"These are all spontaneous uploads by users on the platform, which have little to do with our company. After all, the online audio version. Rights also apply to the safe harbor principle in the Internet industry. ”

The safe harbor principle refers to the occurrence of . Infringement of rights. When the Internet service provider only provides space services and does not produce web content.

If the network service provider is notified of infringement, it has an obligation to remove it, otherwise it will be deemed to be infringing.

For example, Xuanting Entertainment notified the Himalayan platform and asked them to remove these online novels, but if he did not delete them in time, then it would be regarded as infringement.

If the infringing content is not stored on the server of the Internet service provider, the Internet service provider shall not be liable for infringement if it has not been informed that the content should be deleted.

Later, the safe harbor principle was also applied to search engines, such as Qiandu, network storage, such as network disks, online libraries, such as CNKI, and so on.

"Mr. Yu, I am very optimistic about the new Internet track of knowledge payment. Similarly, Lychee FM and Dragonfly FM, which have a market share that is not as good as yours, also have the same problem, except that Himalaya has the largest number of users. Naturally, the right party pays more attention to your company. ”

Zheng Wentong thought to himself, not long after the release of these online novels, Ximalaya completed the production and upload with high efficiency, and no one believed that the user uploaded it himself. Why did the court award Himalaya 150,000 yuan in compensation?

Knowledge payment is indeed a blue ocean in the Internet industry, such as Fan Deng Reading Club and Logical Thinking have many fans, and after the traffic is realized, their annual income is no less than that of a listed company.

Yu Jianjun resonated deeply, "Hey, who said it wasn't? In fact, we are increasing our discretionary purchasing efforts every month, but we still can't keep up with the growth rate of the number of users. ”

Since the establishment of the company, Himalaya has fallen into a cycle of losses, and the more copyright purchases there are, the more losses it will have.

Although Yu Jianjun has always said that he does not pursue profits and does not set a profit schedule, the patience of investors has been slowly exhausted.

"Mr. Yu, in fact, this lawsuit is not necessarily a bad thing, but will usher in a turnaround in the Himalayas."

"I noticed here,This year Amazon launched the world's first smart speaker,Quite well received,I believe you must have also noticed,Next year you can see the same product from domestic companies。

"Tesla, the leader of new energy vehicles, has a central control screen that can be replaced by a tablet."

"Now is the era of mobile Internet, but although the number of mobile phone users can still grow, it will reach the ceiling in one or two years at most."

"Smart speaker users and car owner users will be a new growth point for the number of Himalaya users. Whether at home or in the car, listening quietly to a book is a wonderful enjoyment. ”

"Penguin Group is ready to acquire Xuan. Thunder Entertainment, driving the starting point. Chinese Network and Founding. The merger of the Chinese network established the new Reading Network. Wen Group. ”

"In fact, Himalaya may wish to introduce copyright owners as strategic financial investors of the company, not limited to online literature platforms, such as music copyright owners, such as Sony Music, etc., can cooperate." Zheng Wentong gave his own advice.

Yu Jianjun was very impressed, he once thought he was very good at telling stories, but Zheng Wentong had already told him a better story, and he could almost instill this set of ideas in other investors.

Although Zheng Wentong is a post-90s investor, Yu Jianjun believes that Zheng Wentong has a deep understanding and long-term thinking about the development of the mobile Internet, perhaps this is also the advantage of young people in the Z generation who have been exposed to the Internet since childhood?

This face-to-face communication worked very well, and Yu Jianjun invited Zheng Wentong to dinner alone. Wuzhen's braised mutton and white-water fish make Zheng Wentong salivate, but assistant Yang Jianbin likes the local specialty Dingsheng cake.

Yu Jianjun welcomes Zheng Wentong to join Himalayas, and he believes that with Zheng Wentong joining, the two of them can produce a chemical reaction of 1+1 greater than 2 together.

Together, they tell a better story to other investors and push the valuation of Himalaya higher, and both men have the same interests in this regard.

The two of them also reached a preliminary agreement on the current valuation of Himalaya, with a market value of about $70 million, but they still have to communicate with the three funds in the A round of financing.

After half a year, the valuation of Himalaya has almost doubled compared with the A round, and Zheng Wentong is expected to invest $3.5 million to $4 million so far, with a shareholding ratio of 5% to 6%.

Of course, the specific shareholding ratio, as well as the equity valuation price, Yu Jianjun has to further communicate with the company's other management, as well as the three funds in the A round of financing, and some of them may also be willing to sell some shares.

After chatting about business, Yu Jianjun praised the hardware facilities and services of this meeting in Wuzhen.

"Don't mention it, Wuzhen has made a comprehensive upgrade of the network infrastructure in advance, and two 10 Gigabit optical fibers and five Gigabit optical fibers are connected to the scenic spot. It has achieved full coverage of 100 Gigabit broadband to office desktops and free WIFI network in the town. ”

Yu Jianjun is satisfied with this, although he is not in the company, but he can work in the hotel, so that he can contact the company's team, and he will inform other management of the news that Slope Capital is ready to buy shares today.

Zheng Wentong was thoughtful, free WIFI covered the scenic spot, and he vaguely had an inspiration.

"That is, from the moment I entered the scenic spot, the staff of the conference assisted me in downloading the mobile phone software, which was specially designed for delegates like us."

"As soon as you open the APP, the meeting location, the agenda of the day, and the traffic are clear at a glance, and at the same time, you can communicate and interact, and switch between Chinese and English, and the development team has spent a lot of effort." Zheng Wentong thinks this software is very practical.

"I think this software should have been developed by Ahri's technical team." Yu Jianjun guessed.

"I think so, this is also the implementation of the first World Internet Conference 'interconnection, sharing and co-governance' conference theme."

"Interconnected?" Zheng Wentong repeated it again, he knew what to do now, so he said goodbye to Yu Jianjun, and the two agreed to visit the first Internet Light theme exhibition held in the scenic spot tomorrow.

The theme exhibition will be held from November 18th to 21st in the hall and the rain corridor outside the hall of Wuzhen Pillow Water Resort Hotel.

Zheng Wentong is interested in the latest cutting-edge technologies and application scenarios of domestic and foreign Internet companies in the four major fields of Internet media, culture, business, Internet technology, information security and smart city.

I heard that Huafu Group also sent a team to participate in the exhibition, and I wonder if Zheng Wentong will meet his former colleagues from the software development department tomorrow.

Zheng Wentong first contacted Yao Yutong, the financial manager, and told her about preparing to invest in Himalaya, so that she could prepare in advance.

In addition, I contacted the personnel manager Chen Lei, Chen Lei had just finished eating at this time, "Mr. Zheng, is there anything urgent?" ”

Slope Capital got off work at six o'clock and never worked overtime, and Zheng Wentong also called her after work for the first time.

"There is indeed an urgent matter here, I am going to set up a software development department, you are going to publish a recruitment information, recruit a software development team of 10-15 people, and I am going to develop a mobile phone software, called Universal WIFI."
