Chapter 114: Go to Wuzhen Again!
"This time to participate in the Internet conference, I can go with Hailong, and Xu Ru will not go over. You don't have to go to class over there, I said hello to Li Xuegong, and I can just attend the graduation ceremony directly when the time comes. Zheng Wentong packed his luggage at home, and his girlfriend was helping by the side.
"If you're bored, you can go to Hangzhou with Hehe and Yezi, Binjiang. The house in Qiantang Impression has been almost renovated, and you can help choose furniture and appliances. After filming "Ode to Joy", Bai Xiaolu didn't rest for a few days, he was busy shooting commercials, attending Bulgari's commercial activities, and he was busy.
"Okay!" Bai Xiaolu also likes to decorate her and her boyfriend's new home, and the decoration design of the garden above is also finalized by her and her boyfriend.
"January is your graduation ceremony, when I take my uncle and aunt from Longcheng, visit the house with the impression of Qiantang first, and then live in the garden above."
"When my aunt asks me, who picked this cabinet, I can proudly say 'my wife', who picked the bed, 'my wife', my aunt must be unbearable in the end, so what did you choose?"
"My wife." Bai Xiaolu replied with a happy face.
"Okay, don't be reluctant to give up, don't see a day, like every other autumn. When I'm done with the Internet conference, I'll go to Hangzhou to meet you. ”
The second World Internet Conference will open on December 16, Zheng Wentong arrived in Wuzhen one day in advance, completed the registration at the entrance of the scenic spot, and after verifying their identities, Zheng Wentong and Zhao Hailong entered the scenic spot.
Perhaps it was a change in mentality, Zheng Wentong was not in a hurry to visit partners in the Internet circle this time, but began to appreciate the lights of thousands of homes in Wuzhen at night.
Walking on the bluestone slab of Wuzhen, feeling the tranquility and simplicity of the thousand-year-old Jiangnan water town, looking back on the whole 2015, Zheng Wentong has basically achieved the goal at the beginning of the year.
Slope Capital holds about half of the equity of Pony Galloping, which has a market value of about 2 billion, and the number of users of universal WIFI has exceeded 400 million, and the master key of Lianshang Network has opened a gap, and the valuation of Series B financing is about 1.2 billion.
Weitoutiao's registered users have exceeded the 90 million mark, with more than 18 million monthly active users.
When the World Internet Conference is over, Zheng Wentong will hold a creator conference in Puhai and implement the "20 million yuan subsidy plan", which is double the original subsidy plan.
In 2016, Micro Ke Xinke will invest 500 million yuan to subsidize the creators of Weitoutiao and Weiyin.
In 2017, this number will be doubled, and 1 billion yuan will be invested to subsidize the creators of Weitoutiao and Weiyin.
Internet companies, the scale of users are burned with money, and it is no longer realistic to expect to slowly develop hundreds of millions of users.
At this time, when the venture capital institutions introduced by Weitoutiao need to show their skills, the A round of financing must start at least 20 million US dollars.
Many employees of Toutiao have jumped to join Weitoutiao, and the personnel director of Byte has begun to accuse Weitoutiao of maliciously poaching people with high salaries.
Zheng Wentong sneered in his heart, maliciously poaching people? You are rare and strange, and in the future, there will be malicious salary bargaining, malicious non-buying of houses, and malicious rights protection of home buyers.
What you want is goodwill, if it doesn't meet your heart, it's malicious, and you are justified in co-authoring?
When Zheng Wentong registered the Weitoutiao trademark, he registered similar trademarks such as Weitoutiao, W Toutiao, and Xiaotoutiao, just to prevent Toutiao from registering similar trademarks to sue Weitoutiao.
Before the rebirth, Zheng Wentong used Qutoutiao, "Toutiao" is the first most eye-catching column in the newspaper, used to publish important news, is a common word, this common word is registered in certain categories, lack of distinctiveness, so Toutiao wants to register the trademark related to today or Toutiao, which is easy to be rejected by the Trademark Office.
Thinking of this, Zheng Wentong asked Zhao Hailong, "Hailong, now that you have been working by my side for four months, are you still comfortable with work?" ”
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
Compared with his cousin Yang Jianbin, Zhao Hailong has a more taciturn personality and does not like to talk much.
When Zheng Wentong is busy with work and doesn't need him to be by his side, he basically just has a cup of tea, a newspaper or a book to pass the time, never uses his mobile phone to catch up on dramas or play games, in his words, to find a pastime that can be stopped at any time.
Zhao Hailong's happiest time was when he and Zheng Wentong went for a morning run, swim or exercise, and felt like returning to the army.
Zhao Hailong thought for a while, "Actually, when I first came over, I thought that Mr. Zheng, you might go out often, such as participating in socials, going clubbing at night, etc., worried about whether you would be too busy to be in charge of security work alone." ”
"After I started working, I found out that although Mr. Zheng often travels, you rarely participate in socializing, and there is no nightlife, and I am more of a driver than a bodyguard, so it is quite easy to work."
"You reminded me here, if you see if there are any comrades who need to find a job, you can introduce them, you can change shifts for you, you don't have much time to rest, you can go home to see the elderly, or take time to go on a blind date. If you had a son, would you let him continue to be a soldier? ”
Zhao Hailong shook his head, "Forget it, it's too hard to be a soldier, so I especially admire Wu Jing for this. Mound. Army. The soldiers of the district trained together for 18 months. ”
"I still hope that my children can study well and get into a good university, of course, if they are admitted to military schools or national defense students, then that's another story." Zhao Hailong looked nostalgic, if it wasn't for something at home and the marriage with the blind date failed, he would have been married and had children by now.
Zheng Wentong patted Zhao Hailong's shoulder, "It's okay, why is the eldest husband without a wife, go back to buy a commercial house in your hometown this year, let your parents be responsible for the decoration first, and then have a daughter-in-law, you can get married next year, do you want me to help you introduce it?" ”
"Mr. Zheng, you are in Puhai all the year round, and you are not in your hometown, where do you know girls of the right age? At that time, I don't want to let Uncle Zheng or Aunt Zhou introduce me, forget it, I'll find it myself slowly. "Zhao Hailong didn't take it seriously.
"My aunt's matchmaking skills are a must, the good girls in the nearby villages are all introduced by my aunt, and after the couple got married, they also wanted to use it in one place, and the small family lived in harmony and beauty." Zheng Wentong is very proud.
Zheng Wentong's sister-in-law Liu Yuping was introduced by her aunt, although her sister-in-law's parents are a bit utilitarian, but they are indeed dedicated to their daughter's good, and they are also very satisfied with Zheng Wensong's son-in-law, and Zheng Baocheng is the group pet of Zheng and Liu's parents.
Zhao Hailong was a little moved, "Auntie is so powerful?" ”
"That is, after Weiyin is launched, you can shoot a short video series, and the beginning of the video is 'Auntie introduced', maybe it will become popular, and in the end you will be planted in the hands of the proprietress of a flower shop." Zheng Wentong joked with Zhao Hailong.
"By the way, I heard that our company sponsored the fireworks show in Lujiazui last year, is there still one this year?" Zhao Hailong watched the grand scene of the Lujiazui fireworks show last year at station B.
"It is enough to use a propaganda method once, and the universal WIFI does not need to advertise in this way now, and the advertising costs placed on CCTV and video websites this year have cost a lot of money. Although there is no fireworks show this year, there is a 4D light show here in Lujiazui. As an advertiser, Micro Ke Xinke appeared on the LED screen on the exterior wall of Aurora Group to participate in this year's New Year countdown activity. Zheng Wentong revealed that there is a kind of pleasure that hides merit and fame.
When Zheng Wentong and Zhao Hailong were chatting about family life, Hou Hongbo found Zheng Wentong, "Mr. Zheng, you really make it easy for me to find here." ”
"Mr. Hou, I originally planned to talk to you tomorrow." Zheng Wentong's smile was very warm.
Hou Hongbo knew that for Zheng Wentong, Transcription Business was just a minority shareholder of China Transcription, so the great changes in the Internet finance industry had little impact on Zheng Wentong.
Hou Hongbo sighed with emotion, at the first World Internet Conference last year, Zheng Wentong was just a pure newcomer, and his company didn't even receive an invitation letter, so he still relied on the invitation letter of station B to participate in the meeting.
Nowadays, the development momentum of the two Internet companies under Slope Investment, Interconnection and Microgram Information Technology is booming.
The combined value of the equity of Puhai Interconnection and Micro Ke Xinke held by Slope Investment is more than 2 billion, and the equity value of Yanjing Pony Galloping held by Slope Investment is also more than 2 billion.
If you add the equity of Slope Capital to Noon Sunshine, Xiaohongshu, miHoYo Technology, Station B, Xiaohongshu, Heytea and Nai Xue's tea, the total equity of these foreign investments is about 1 billion, and a four-story office building of Weike Xinke alone will cost 200 million.
Not to mention that Zheng Wentong bought two Rolls-Royce at one time, spent 48 million yuan to shoot the old bungalow in Puhai City Garden, and was elected to Pujiang New District. Person. Big. Representative.
If Hou Hongbo could still put some old qualifications in front of Zheng Wentong last year, and mention Zheng Wentong, a newcomer in the Internet industry, now Zheng Wentong's achievements in just one year have thrown him to the tail lights of the car.
Although Slope Investment, as a non-listed company, has never issued financial reports to the outside world, and the shareholder composition of Slope Investment is also more complicated, although the Dutch Foundation only holds 20% of the equity, Zheng Wentong holds 80% of the equity, but it is difficult to say how many shares of Zheng Wentong are held on behalf of others, but at least two or three billion personal net worth must be there.
Hou Hongbo was counting on Zheng Wentong to give him an idea to continue his life, Zheng Wentong sneered in his heart, Feng Qingsong's article on the internal reference was discussed by him and Feng Qingsong, Zheng Wentong wished that there were a few more online lending platforms on the market that would go out of business, and he was willing to give Hou Hongbo an idea.
"Mr. Hou, I also deeply sympathize with the situation you have encountered, but I can't do anything about it, after all, this guidance and notice is for the entire industry, without exception. There are also many representatives of Internet financial companies who came to Wuzhen to participate in the conference this time, you can sit together, discuss more, and brainstorm ideas. ”
Hou Hongbo secretly hated in his heart, it was you who asked for cooperation at the beginning, but now that the situation is not good, it is you who leave it alone. At the beginning, he wanted to breed like a dog, but now he is ugly after sleeping.
Zheng Wentong is obviously reluctant to wade into this troubled water, but Zheng Anguo has made a lot of money this year, and Zheng Wentong's right-hand man seems to be uneasy, and he is a little distracted, and when he returns to Puhai, he will discuss with Zheng Anguo.
