Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 289 I Only Trust You

"Xiao Chen~ What do you think of this incident?"

Zhou Hongyi pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Chen Li with a serious face.

"Brother Zhou~ Didn't I tell you?"

"Guofeng Software is up to you, you don't need to ask for my opinion!"

On the other hand, Chen Li's tone seemed somewhat perfunctory!
No way~ Chen Li is only one person!But there are too many things related to him.

Now Zhou Hongyi also came to talk to him about the company at this time, which made Chen Li feel a little annoyed!

Chen Li suddenly regretted that he had opened up the stall so much!
Now that I have decided to take the breeding route, I should go on this road, why bother to find a bunch of things for myself!

What is the current situation?

Chen Li's identity is a college student at the University of Foreign Languages, seeing that the new semester's homework is about to start, but
At the same time~ Chen Li is the owner of a chain fried chicken restaurant and a chicken farm, and he has to make plans for the Y[-]K patch he redeemed from the system.

And in this rented house, Chen Li also set up a hao123
Although hao123 does not need him to pay too much attention at present, but as the average daily visits of hao123 gradually increase, the regularization of hao123 must also be put on the agenda.

This made Chen Li feel very irritable, because there were too many things to worry about.

But... If he was asked to give up any of these things, Chen Li would be a little unwilling.

Because no matter which one of these things is profitable, it is even a huge profit!

But don't give up!Chen Li is really too busy on his own, so this is very confusing!

Regarding the financing of Guofeng Software, Chen Li had expected it for a long time.

One is because of financial pressure!
The second is because he had discussed this issue with Zhou Hongyi before.

So Chen Li was very dissatisfied with Zhou Hongyi coming to talk to him about this matter!

After all, Chen Li said before that Zhou Hongyi should not come to him if he has nothing to do, let alone come to him if he has something to do.

If it was normal, Chen Li would have seen off the guests long ago.

But at this moment, Zhou Hongyi had just helped him set up a bridge, and it was not easy for Chen Li to drive him away, so he could only patiently chat with Zhou Hongyi!
"Hi~ I can't make up my mind!"

"You are a shareholder of our company, and you are quite knowledgeable, so I want to talk to you about this matter."

"Is such that."

Zhou Hongyi didn't understand the meaning of Chen Li's words at all. At this age, this buddy is somewhat different from the later Zhou Hongyi.

The current Zhou Hongyi, in fact, is more inclined towards technical talents, whether it is eloquence or management ability, compared with the later Zhou Hongyi, it is far behind.

Uh~ okay!In fact~ the later Zhou Hongyi can only be considered average in this respect.

So ~ Zhou Hongyi in [-]. It is conceivable that he was not much better than ordinary people.

Even if this buddy started messing around with the company when he was in college, he looked awesome. But in fact, this buddy would panic and be at a loss when something really happened.

Just like today, Zhou Hongyi panicked!
This panic was not because I went back to my old club to help matchmaking, but because
Just two days ago, someone approached him and offered to invest in Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng Software.

This... made Zhou Hongyi a little panicked!
Zhou Hongyi is not new to venture capital.

When he first started his business, he went to some people in the venture capital circle by himself.

When he was working in Yuanzheng Group, many people called him brothers and sisters.

But when he came out to work alone, those people... were almost perfunctory to him.

At that time, Zhou Hongyi understood that those people in the past were not calling him brothers and sisters, but "brothers and brothers" with Yuanzheng Group.

Without the signboard of Yuanzheng, Zhou Hongyi is nothing.

Later Zhou Hongyi gave up looking for investors, turned around and found Chen Li, and started a small company.

Moreover, Zhou Hongyi also listened to Chen Li's suggestion, not to find any investors yet.

After all, no matter how good a concept is, it is too hype to talk about it. But it is not easier to convince people than displaying products.

Now Guofeng software products are in the process of final improvement, after which comes the launch and promotion of the product.

At this time, Guofeng Software needs a sum of money!
Originally, Zhou Hongyi planned to take the 3721 they created to find those investors, but...before he could find someone, someone had already come to him.

This made Zhou Hongyi a little flustered, because he found out that Chen Li was really right about this matter.

When Chen Li persuaded him to stop looking for investors before, he told him that an Internet company has a product and a mature operating system before it can reach the end.

It is not that a company supported solely by ideas cannot succeed, but that the probability of success is much smaller than that.

Facts have proved all this!
When the amount proposed by the other party was revealed, Zhou Hongyi admitted that he was a little...no~ very excited.

Fortunately, although Zhou Hongyi couldn't say how many big scenes he had seen at this moment, he still had some knowledge.

So he just stabilized the other party, and then planned to talk to the people in the company and Chen Li first.

Just at this moment, Chen Li introduced Ma Xiaoyun over, and asked him to help contact his old club, so... at this moment, Zhou Hongyi talked with Chen Li about financing.

This scene~ In fact, there is a big difference from the previous life, because regardless of the butterfly Chen Li, Guofeng Software in the previous life will have to wait a few more months before getting the 25 from the partner of IDG. $[-] in seed funding.

And at that time, although the two partners of IDG invested in Guofeng Software, they actually didn't know anything about what Zhou Hongyi made.

The reason for the investment is actually based on the Internet environment at that time.

During the period from 95 to the end of 99, it was the time when the stock prices of Internet technology-related companies rose rapidly.

This stage lasted until March 2000, 3, when the US Nasdaq index reached 10 points!
During this period, stock markets across Western countries saw rapid growth in the market capitalization of the Internet sector and related sectors.Then.
"boom"!
The bubble has burst!
Yes~ This is the very famous Internet bubble crisis!
Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng software was just ahead of this time point, so even if the two partners of IDG didn't understand it, they were still willing to invest.

First it was a seed fund of 25 US dollars, and then when the products of Guofeng Software were officially launched, Guofeng Software soon received another investment of 200 million US dollars.

No way~ Before the Internet bubble burst, many people thought it was too easy to make money on the Internet.

Yes~ It’s not that the Internet is awesome, but that it’s too easy to make money on the Internet.

Especially in the capital market, an Internet company, from establishment to financing to listing, even some companies did not even make products until they closed down.

This kind of near-absurd thing is not uncommon in this time period.

When a large number of investors waved their checkbooks and flocked to the Internet industry. An idea, an idea or even a brain hole, can be exchanged for a check from their pockets.

This thing has a nice name~ called investment dream!

It sounds like investors are paying for your dreams.

But in fact, investors bought your dream with money!

The two look the same, but in fact there are some differences!As for the difference. Only those who have experienced it will understand!

In short~ Zhou Hongyi in the previous life recruited employees, investors and funds under such a big environment, and then
Well~ the development of Guofeng Software in the previous life was not very smooth, otherwise Zhou Hongyi would not have sold Guofeng Software later.

But now because of the appearance of Chen Li, the butterfly, the fate of Zhou Hongyi and Guofeng Software has deviated from the previous life from the very beginning.

In the previous life, Zhou Hongyi didn't have a good time in the early days of starting a business.

This buddy even borrowed the capital injection of Guofeng Software from his brother-in-law.

Then, for more than half a year, Guofeng Software almost insisted on resisting.

Later, Guofeng Software got the seed investment from IDG, which eased the predicament and took off.

Yes~ just flew up, not soaring into the sky.

Because the development of Guofeng Software and 3721 has not been very smooth, Zhou Hongyi even thought about giving up 3721.

Of course, that was a matter of previous lives!

At that time, Zhou Hongyi suffered from no one to give him advice, so he persisted until the end by himself and some people who didn't understand the Internet. It can be said that he was physically and mentally exhausted.

In fact, this should be one of the reasons why Zhou Hongyi later sold 3721!
After all, compared with other Internet companies, Guofeng Software and 3721 have a very difficult path.

The opponents of other Internet companies are all other companies.

As for Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng Software and 3721's opponent, there is the industry leader Microsoft!

Of course ~ Zhou Hongyi's main pressure is not from the industry leader, but from CNNIC!

This is so official!
Anyway, if Chen Li and Zhou Hongyi were to switch places, he probably would have sold 3721 long ago.

That is to say, Zhou Hongyi, the iron-headed baby, can finally persist until the moment of final victory.

It's a pity~ Zhou Hongyi's foundation is still a bit weak.

This buddy didn't seize the opportunity to occupy the domestic search market in one fell swoop, but started working with Qiandu instead.

In the end ~ Zhou Hongyi sold 3721 and directly settled in the domestic branch of a certain capital tycoon.

Later, it was Zhou Hongyi who turned against each other, not only left the side of the capitalist predator, but even directly retaliated.

To be reasonable, Zhou Hongyi actually has a lot of problems, and Chen Li doesn't like him very much.

Stubborn~ Bad temper~ He is jealous of others~ He has no principles or even a bottom line for himself!
However, while many people commented on Zhou Hongyi's failure in life, they ignored the fact that Zhou Hongyi was also successful.

In fact, Zhou Hongyi's success almost surpassed 99% of the world's people!

So even if Chen Li didn't like this guy very much, he was still willing to invest his money in the other party's Guofeng software.

The same~ Chen Li is not the only one who has seen through this point.

For example, this time I found Zhou Hongyi's old IDG Wang Fugui!
As a partner of IDG, this very clean person has seen the "sparkling points" in Zhou Hongyi's body!
Even in a strict sense, this old king is the real one with the torch of eyes.

Because Chen Li chose Zhou Hongyi based on the memory of his previous life, and Lao Wang was the real Bole who discovered the Chollima.

"150 million US dollars ~ 20% of the shares!"

This is the investment condition given by Wang Fugui!
150 million US dollars is really nothing in the Internet industry.

Ma Xiaoyun's first investment in his previous life was more than 200 million US dollars.

Brother Pony's Fujixun, although it was a bit difficult to invest in, but the first investment, he got more than 400 million US dollars and a loan of 100 million US dollars!

150 million US dollars is not much, but what Lao Wang wants is not much.

20% of the shares. Even Chen Li thinks this is an appropriate price.

Although he didn't know who this old king was, he had heard of IDG.

Of course, most of the IDG in Chen Li's memory is actually connected with Brother Ma's Fujixun.

That's right~ After getting 20% ​​of Fujixun's shares, this institution sold these shares again.

Of course~ IDG's side may be slightly better than the little Superman on Hong Kong Island, and the selling price is also higher.

But compared with the value reflected by Fujixun in the end, tsk~!

The conditions seem to be very favorable, and IDG's sincerity is also very good.only
"IDG is going to send Guofeng Software a general manager?"

When Chen Li heard this, the first thought that popped into his mind was to refuse.

As for how Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng software came to the point in his previous life, Chen Li actually knew very little about it.

But one thing can be confirmed, that is when Guofeng Software succeeds. The actual person in charge of Guofeng Software is Zhou Hongyi, not other cats or dogs!
Chen Li had seen a little news in his previous life, and he didn't remember much, but the one piece of information that left the deepest impression on him.
It was Zhou Hongyi who came down to negotiate deals with the agents in person!

It is said that Zhou Hongyi even spared [-]% of the profits in order to win enough channels.

Guofeng Software only takes [-]% and gives agents [-]% of the benefits!
So ~ Chen Li is very sure that Guofeng Software has come to the end thanks to Zhou Hongyi, not anyone else.

So here comes the problem!In the previous life, did IDG send a general manager to Guofeng Software?

Chen Li didn't know, he didn't even know if IDG had invested in Guofeng Software in his previous life.

But now that his butterfly has appeared, no matter whether he had the general manager in his previous life, he will not and should not have it now.

"Brother Zhou! You can invest!"

"But... this general manager can't do it!"

"The person I trust is you, not other cats or dogs!"

"No matter how good-looking and excellent the other party's resume is, I don't trust him!"

"Do you know what I mean?"

Chen Li looked at Zhou Hongyi, and said these words logically.

But Chen Li didn't realize that what he said was a bit... something.

Anyway, Zhou Hongyi was inexplicably moved after hearing this passage!
"Hey~! Okay, I understand!"

"Xiao Chen, thank you!"
