Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 344 Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd.
The world is weird sometimes!
For example, the less money a person has, the easier it is for him to borrow money.

But when this person needs money especially, you will find it really difficult to borrow money!

Just like the current Chen Li, although he is indeed "poor" and has no money to eat, his "poor" is not really poor.

In fact, Chen Li is not short of money at all, it's just that he wants to separate public and private affairs.

So in this case, it is really simple for Chen Ideal to find some money.

It was so simple that Chen Li just said in front of Ma Xiaoyun that he forgot to go to the bank to withdraw money, and Ma Xiaoyun directly asked someone to withdraw 5 yuan for him.

He didn't say to borrow it, and he didn't say when to pay it back. He didn't even have an IOU. The money just fell into Chen Li's hands.

Because both Ma Xiaoyun and Chen Li knew very well that the 5 yuan was not worth Chen Li's being a rascal!

Especially Ma Xiaoyun, he didn't even care about the 5 yuan, because the 5 yuan was just a drop in the bucket compared with the wealth he earned after he hooked up with Chen Li.

Let alone 50, even 500 or [-] million, as long as Chen Li asks, Ma Xiaoyun won't even stutter.

To put it bluntly, as far as Ma Xiaoyun was concerned, he was not afraid that Chen Li would speak, but he was afraid that Chen Li would not speak!
If Chen Li didn't speak up, or even continued to get along with Ma Xiaoyun in the future, that would be the biggest loss.

You know~ The newly established Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd. is still counting on Chen Li and the team behind him to help in the future!
The red pony is naturally Zhou Hongyi's red and Ma Xiaoyun's horse.

In fact, this way of naming was not very popular in [-]. It is popular to take some more conventional names these days.

And the appearance of the red pony also means that in the short term, there will be no Ali Baba and Qishi 350.

In fact, Chen Li had thought about it before, maybe one day Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi would part ways.

After all, these two people were a bit at odds in the previous life, so maybe Ali Baba and Qishi 350 will reappear.

At that time, Chen Li wondered if these two companies reappeared, would they be able to go as smoothly as in the previous life?
But looking at the current situation, it is estimated that such a situation will not happen in a short time.

Today's Red Pony, Zhou Hongyi is in charge of technology, and Ma Xiaoyun is in charge of the company's operation management and sales.

The two are respectively in charge of their areas of expertise, and with Chen Li in the middle to coordinate, this can be considered a strong alliance.

As for the division of shares, Ma Xiaoyun, who invested 500 million US dollars, alone accounted for 55%, while Zhou Hongyi, who packaged the Guofeng software, got 25%, and the last 20% belonged to Chen Li!
On the surface, Chen Li got the least amount of shares, which is actually very unscientific.

In particular, Chen Li is still a reborn person and has a systematic existence. According to the conventional novel script, Chen Li should occupy the majority.

According to Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi's original idea, Chen Li and the team behind him got 50%, and Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi each got 25%.

This share distribution plan was unanimously approved by Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi. After all, the reason why the two got acquainted was because of Chen Li.

Moreover, the reason why the two of them can use their current results actually has a lot to do with Chen Li.

In other words, if Chen Li were to lead this new Internet company, the two of them would actually have no objections.

But the two of them thought very well, but Chen Li was not happy about it!

He Chen Li is not stupid, so he naturally understands that the more he takes, the more responsibility he has to bear.

Yes~ he has a system, and there are many Internet-related products in the system space, but the things in the system space cannot be exchanged by Chen Lixiang, at least temporarily.

However, Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi believed that there were people and a team behind Chen Li. If Chen Li got more money, then if the company encountered any problems or difficulties in the future, wouldn't it be embarrassing that Chen Li couldn't solve them for a while?
So what's the best way to do this?It was Chen Li and the non-existent team behind him, who only existed as "technical support".

In other words, Chen Li and the team behind him do not usually belong to Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd., but if Chen Li and the team behind him have something good, they can be handed over to Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd. for processing.

Relevant income. There will be a new division at that time.

As for Chen Li's current 20% stake, it was actually converted from his previous investment in Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng Software.

Of course, if we really want to calculate it in terms of value, Chen Li's shares must not be as much as 20%. After all, Zhou Hongyi only holds 25%.

But both Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi are very aware of the abilities of Chen Li and the team behind him, so in order to win over Chen Li and the people behind him, it is entirely appropriate to give more shares.

Even if it wasn't for Chen Li's insistence, Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi would have wanted to give Chen Li more, but Chen Li refused.

Chen Li's reason is very good. He thinks that a company should not engage in any large distribution of shares.

If everyone has similar shares, who will listen to whom in the future?

So the best way is to let one person have enough right to speak.

This person could be Zhou Hongyi or Ma Xiaoyun, but it should definitely not be Chen Li.

In the end~ this person was chosen to be Ma Xiaoyun, not only because this buddy was the only shareholder who contributed capital, and the amount of capital invested even reached 500 million US dollars.And because Ma Xiaoyun was originally one of the major shareholders of Guofeng Software, adding these two together, he naturally had the most shares.

And rather than standing in front of the stage, Chen Li would rather stay behind the scenes!

To be honest, Chen Li just wanted to find a trustworthy Internet company so that he could deal with the computer Internet-related products he exchanged from the system in the future.

This enterprise could be Ma Xiaoyun's Pony Technology, Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng Software, or even a combination of the two. Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd.

For Chen Li, it doesn't matter who the company is, the important thing is that the other party must trust him.

Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi were naturally trustworthy. To be precise, what they trusted was the team behind Chen Li.

After all, he is an expert who can even solve the Y[-]K problem!

It's just a pity that such a master was not directly recruited by the red pony, so the recent Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi are intensively recruiting.

And this time the recruitment is completely different from the recruitment when the two first started their business.

Because the red pony is so rich.

Also belonging to a start-up company, Red Pony is completely different from Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng Software and Ma Xiaoyun's Ali Baba.

When Zhou Hongyi started Guofeng Software, even Chen Li's 10 yuan was accepted by this buddy as an angel investment. It can be seen that this buddy was really short of money when he founded Guofeng Software.

Ma Xiaoyun's situation is better because there are many others.

More than a dozen arhats, each of whom contributed a little, directly raised 50 yuan to start Ali Baba.

But for computer Internet companies, whether it's Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng Software or Ma Xiaoyun's Ali Baba, the little funds they raise will definitely not work.

Therefore, these two companies were really struggling in the early days of their businesses.

The outside world does not know much about the specifics of Zhou Hongyi's early entrepreneurship, only that Comrade Zhou suffered a lot.

But how much he suffered, only Lao Zhou knew.

But Ma Xiaoyun is different. When this buddy first founded Ali Baba, he still left some video materials.

Judging from those influential materials, Ali Baba, who will become famous in the industry in the future, was actually an ordinary small company in the early days.

In order to use limited funds to do more things, both Guofeng Software and Ali Baba have adopted the same method.

Open source and reduce expenditure!
Open source is a must. After all, companies need to make money in order to survive.

However, most of the early domestic Internet companies faced a problem, that is, how to open source?
When there is no specific way to open source, then all you can do is to save money.

So there was a good talk about Cai Lixin giving up his annual salary of one million yuan and running to Lin'an to get a monthly salary of 500 yuan.

500 yuan~ What kind of concept is this?

Now the waiters at the ideal fried chicken restaurant under Chen Li's name can get 500 yuan a month, which shows that the salary offered by Ali Baba at that time was really not attractive.

You should know~ Ari Baba is an Internet company after all, and those who work there should have some computer knowledge.

And in [-], even if you only knew word or excel, it was not difficult to find a job with a monthly salary of more than [-]!

It's not even an exaggeration to say that with just that superficial computer knowledge, you can get a lot of points when you take a civil servant test.

The same is true for Zhou Hongyi's Guofeng software!
The fundamental reason for this situation is that the accounts of these two companies did not have much money when they started their businesses in the early stage.

But Red Pony is different. This company formed by the merger of Pony Technology and Guofeng Software has a working capital of 600 million US dollars.

Among them, Ma Xiaoyun invested 500 million U.S. dollars, plus the 100 million U.S. dollars he invested in Guofeng Software before, this is 600 million U.S. dollars.

This also means that the valuation of this Red Pony Technology Co., Ltd. has reached 1000 million US dollars since its establishment!
And if the timeline is pushed back, this number will rise geometrically.

The reason is very simple. Because the 3721 Chinese character search developed by Guofeng Software will be listed soon.

The 3721 in the previous life eventually became a rogue software, but that was because Guofeng Software had no money and no resources at that time, and at the same time it had no way to promote the software, it could only make such a bad plan in the end.

But the current 3721 is hard to say.

Even though 3721 might follow the old path of his previous life, isn't Chen Li still here?
Chen Li can definitely come forward at the right time to prevent certain things from happening.

Moreover, the 3721 Chinese character search is just the beginning. It is also a Chinese character search. Qiandu, which has not yet been established, can achieve such a large scale. Chen Li believes that Guofengruan.Red Pony can do the same.

If possible, Chen Ideal would build an Internet giant with a purely state-owned background, instead of being like in his previous life, the major shareholders behind the top Internet companies in China were almost all foreign capital.

Of course~ this goal is not as easy as imagined, and Chen Li is also ready to use the system at critical moments.

In short~ if you don't try to do some things, how can you know if they will succeed?

Just like the service that Chen Li asked the system to order, Chen Li is not sure whether the system can do it until now.

But even so, Chen Li was still willing to give it a try, even if he lost a large amount of cash because of it, which can be said to be beyond the imagination of most people.

Because some things ~ cannot be simply measured by money.

After exchanging the "Year [-] Bug Ultimate Edition" for profit, Chen Li's mentality has changed a lot.

Because he suddenly discovered that money~ was really nothing to him.

A "Millennium Bug Ultimate Edition" allowed Chen Li to earn a wealth that ordinary people would not be able to earn in a few lifetimes, but something like "Yearn Year Bug Ultimate Edition" Chen Li had an entire system space.

There are things that Chen Li is familiar with, and even future technologies that he is not familiar with.

So ~ Qian. For Chen Li now, it really means nothing.

In other words~ the current Chen Li can say that sentence openly.

"I don't care about money!"

"I'm not interested in money!"

Yes~!Compared with money itself, Chen Li now pays more attention to the value that money can reflect.

Most of the time, a dollar is just a dollar.

But when this one dollar buys something worth two dollars, the value of this one dollar will increase.

If you treat it as money and buy something that money cannot measure, it is definitely the most valuable transaction in the world.

Just like this time, Chen Li paid 5000 million US dollars, but if he could really get a few lives back, then Chen Li felt that the 5000 million was a huge profit.

As a reborn person, and on the premise of having a system, Chen Li felt that he had every reason to make up for some regrettable things in his previous life.

Even if he has to pay a lot of "money" for it!
However, if money can solve the problem, it is not a problem for Chen Li now!
As long as Chen Li can afford it, even if it is a debt, anyway, according to Chen Li's plan for himself, it is estimated that in a few years, whether it is real currency or the system's mall currency, Chen Li can become a rich man.

So~ Let's get dry~ Chen Li!

"Bell~!"

Just as Chen Li was thinking about the future, the alarm he set for himself rang.

"Well, it's the appointed time."

Chen Li went to the bathroom, and pushed Huang Biao away who was playing games in the living room.

"Hey~ This interface is really ugly!"

Skillfully opening the login interface, Chen Li logged in with his own OICQ number.

Regarding the earliest OICQ version, Chen Li was really speechless.

It's just ugly, the key is still unstable, and it often happens that the connection is disconnected and cannot be reconnected.

Even sometimes, I can't even log in.

Such software that often has problems, if it is left for more than ten years~ no, even after a few years, it is estimated that users will have scolded it to death.

But at this meeting in [-], everyone really didn't have so many demands.

To put it bluntly, some people don't even know what a dropped call is.

Chen Li skillfully opened the user interface, and selected one of the avatars as a girl's ID.

Long Aotian: Hello~ I'm here, what are you doing?

Leng Yurou: I'm still dealing with work matters!What about you?Just got off work?
Long Aotian: Well~ I just finished dealing with something worth hundreds of millions, and now I'm free, so I'm here to chat with you.

Leng Yurou:!

Leng Yurou: By the way~ Can I ask you a few questions?
Long Aotian: Please tell me!

Leng Yurou: How do you feel about using this OICQ?
Long Aotian: How about what?That's it!The interface is rubbish, the function is rubbish, imitating others is not in place, what else can I do?That is to say, there is no chat software on the market now, otherwise I would be too lazy to use this.

Leng Yurou:!

In the rented house, Chen Li was almost out of laughter, but then he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly typed again.

Long Aotian: But OICQ is not without merit.

Leng Yurou: Oh~ Really?What are the merits of OICQ?

Long Aotian: OICQ is in .
Chen Li's typing hands stopped suddenly. He wanted to praise OICQ a few words, mainly because he was worried that he had been talking about OICQ rubbish before.

You must know that the OICQ numbers that Chen Li is currently using are carefully selected by him. In other words, these OICQ numbers can be sold for five to six figures in the future.

But here came the problem, Chen Li almost racked his brains, but in the end he just couldn't figure out what is good about OICQ at the moment.

After all, Chen Li has long been accustomed to the operation interface of the later QQ, and Chen Li can't pick any advantages for the current OICQ.

In the end~ Chen Li's fingers continued to fall on the keyboard.

Long Aotian: I met you because of OICQ!

"Hiss~ Damn, I actually got goosebumps!"

After sending the message, Chen Li crossed his hands on his arms and rubbed them.

The reason is very simple, because Chen Li knows that the other end of the computer is not actually a girl.

If he guessed correctly, the Leng Yurou on the opposite side should be a young man with glasses.

I just don't know~ Which of the five tigers is this Leng Yurou on the opposite side!
And in an unremarkable office in Shencheng, the capital of reform far away, Pony Ma was looking at the computer screen in front of him, doing the same movements as Chen Li.

And he rubbed the goosebumps on his hands while cursing:
"Fuck~ This job is not done by humans!"
