"Hello? I'm Chu Yinyin. Who is this?"
Finding it was an unfamiliar number, Chu Yinyin directly pressed the speaker button and asked at the same time.
"Hello, Mr. Chu. I'm Mr. Zheng's secretary. We're on our way to your company and will arrive downstairs in about ten minutes. Please make preparations for reception in advance."
A voice that sounded rather arrogant came from the microphone of the mobile phone.
Chu Yinyin was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Is it Mr. Zheng Hongyi?"
"Yes, our President Zheng doesn't like noisy environments, so your company's reception doesn't need to be too grand. President Chu, you can bring a few people to greet us downstairs. Let's meet in ten minutes."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone without even waiting for Chu Yinyin to express her opinion.
Hearing the busy tone coming from the mobile phone, Chu Yinyin didn't know how to react for a moment.
Chen Yan coughed dryly and said, "Your hand is still on my abdominal muscles. Do you want to take it out first, and then we can start scolding each other?"
After being reminded by Chen Yan, Chu Yinyin's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly pulled her hand out from the hem of Chen Yan's clothes.
At the same time, he said indignantly, "I've heard that Zheng Hongyi is arrogant and likes to act in a pretentious manner, but I never thought that one of his secretaries would have such an attitude, acting as if we were begging them! It's simply unreasonable!"
Chen Yan nodded in agreement and said, "Exactly. We're not short of money, but they rushed over on their own accord, acting like they're the boss. They're really spoiled!"
Chu Yinyin's face was filled with a conflicted expression. She said, "Although they are very rude, we still have to receive them. It would be of no benefit to us to fall out with the 365 Company. Even if we don't need Zheng Hongyi's investment, we have to save face."
Chen Yan immediately refused, "Yinyin, you said it yourself. The foundation of our company relies on technology, not connections. If Zheng Hongyi respects us enough, we can certainly give him face."
After all, giving face is mutual. But he has already shown us so little respect, not only arranging for his secretary to call us, but also directly asking us to go down to greet him. What kind of thing is this? Does he treat us as his subordinates? Who gave him face?
Chu Yinyin hesitated and said, "Then... shall we wait here?"
Chen Yan shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter whether we wait or not. We're not actively soliciting external investment. If you want to meet him, just wait here for a while. If not, we can just go back to our own homes and see our mothers. Anyway, the office is cleaned up and there's nothing else to do here."
Chu Yinyin pursed her lips and said, "Let's wait a while. After all, they are seniors in the Internet industry. They can be rude, but we must have basic manners."
"Okay, that's up to you."
Chen Yan shrugged his shoulders, sat down on one of the office chairs, took out his mobile phone, and started watching short videos comfortably.
At the same time, a luxury business car was driving steadily on the main road not far from the office building.
Sitting in the back seat of the business car was a short and fat man wearing a red T-shirt.
The man looked to be about fifty years old, with a significantly receding hairline. He was concentrating on looking at the laptop screen in front of him while constantly tapping on the laptop keyboard.
This person is Zheng Hongyi, an Internet tycoon who is very famous but whose actual net worth has been shrinking year by year.
At his peak, Zheng Hongyi's wealth was close to being among the top ten in the nation. However, due to various setbacks over the years, his personal wealth has shrunk significantly, dropping him to outside the top 300 nationwide, barely a tenth of what it was at his peak...
So Zheng Hongyi has been very anxious in recent years.
Although it is normal for big bosses in the Internet industry to have their net worth fluctuate, since most of their wealth is concentrated in the value of equity, it will always fluctuate with stock price fluctuations.
But for someone like him, the stock has only fallen and not risen for several consecutive years, which is very abnormal.
Internet companies are completely different from industrial companies. The market value of almost all Internet companies is strongly correlated with market expectations.
In other words, if your business has a broader room for growth and more people are optimistic about your development, then your market value can rise irrationally and wildly.
The situation that Zheng Hongyi encountered only shows that no one is optimistic about Zheng Hongyi's company, nor does anyone think that Zheng Hongyi's company has any future.
For an Internet company, this is almost a moment of life and death.
Against this backdrop, Zheng Hongyi must find new growth points for the company, new business development directions that can reassure investors.
Although he knows what he should do, unfortunately, the areas he has worked hard in recent years have not made much splash.
Including the electric car track that has been very popular in recent years, the car brands invested by Zheng Hongyi were only a flash in the pan. After experiencing only a brief period of glory, they quickly slid into the abyss of being eliminated.
As for the original core business of 365 Company, it is also being abandoned by the traffic pool bit by bit.
It seems that the number of users is still among the highest, but everyone knows that most of the users of 365 Company are marginal users.
If the company had not, under his leadership, always firmly followed the rogue route and ensured that the series of software it developed was extremely difficult to completely uninstall, the number of users of their 365 company would have been greatly reduced.
Zheng Hongyi has no good solution to this problem.
Under the general trend of the times, the role that personal ability can play is very limited.
Until a few days ago, Zheng Hongyi accidentally found a brand new AI large language model platform!
Unlike several large language models that have been widely used in China, this language model did not give itself a name, but was directly named after the company, called "Unbounded Dimension".
The reason why Zheng Hongyi searches for related platforms from time to time is mainly because Zheng Hongyi himself is quite optimistic about this track.
However, this track is also very competitive. With 365's current technical capabilities and financial reserves, it does not see any chance to compete with several other giant companies that have already entered the track.
The size gap is too big. If you rashly join the competition, you may drag yourself down.
But after searching for the 'Boundless Dimension' platform and trying to put it into practical use, Zheng Hongyi suddenly discovered that his opportunity... seemed to have come!
