Chapter 142: Stupid people with lots of money? No, it's all a trick
At this time, Zhang Junfeng also looked at Lei Jun. He vaguely remembered that this "Lei Jun" seemed to have met many future Internet giants on website forums in the past two years.
If he could get some information and contact information from him, it would be much more convenient than searching for a needle in a haystack!
…
When Zhang Junfeng asked about it, Lei Jun smiled and shared with them how he had been spamming on CFIDO BBS for the past two years and later became a moderator, where he met Ma Huazhuo, Ding Lei and others.
Upon hearing those familiar names, Zhang Junfeng's eyes suddenly lit up. It was just like the gossip leaked in his previous life. These Internet tycoons who seemed to have no connection with each other actually knew each other for a long time, and they were even good friends with each other!
Zhang Junfeng smiled and said that he was very interested in the people in Longguo's Internet industry and they also wanted to get to know each other.
Seeing that Zhang Junfeng was very concerned about this matter, Lei Jun, who was in a good mood, did not think much about it. He directly wrote down the contact information of these friends and gave it to the other party. At the same time, he also said that he would say hello to these guys later, so that when Zhang Junfeng contacted them, he would not be regarded as a liar by the other party.
Zhang Junfeng smiled and nodded, then folded the piece of paper with multiple names and phone numbers written on it and put it away with satisfaction.
Seeing that the time had come to 16:48, Zhang Junfeng smiled and invited the two to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Qiu Bojun smiled and shook his head. They wanted to check in at a nearby hotel and then go back to their room to have a good sleep.
Seeing that the two were very willing, Zhang Junfeng did not force them, but directly recommended to them the hotel where their inspection team was staying not far away.
…
Watching the two people leave, Wu Xiuying, who had been a spectator for a long time and had not said much, asked Zhang Junfeng the question in her heart. According to the conversation between the two parties just now, the current situation of Kingsoft Software Company is obviously not much better. Why didn't Zhang Junfeng take the opportunity to reduce the investment amount and shares as much as possible to maximize the benefits?
"If you are only investing in Kingsoft Software and have no other dealings with them, then you should lower the acquisition price as much as possible, so that you can maximize your profits. But you have overlooked one point!"
"What?" Wu Xiuying asked subconsciously.
"In America, the number of programmers and emerging Internet companies is several times that of Asia, so there is no problem finding investment targets. But here in Asia, the situation is very different! The circle is so small, and most of the capable and visionary Internet practitioners are connected to each other."
"If I set too harsh requirements when negotiating with them, guess what will happen next? And will Mr. Lei just now give me other people's contact information so easily?" Zhang Junfeng explained meaningfully.
When doing business and investing in Longguo, one must always follow the social customs of Longguo. If one ruins one's reputation right from the start, it will be very difficult to invest in these Internet companies and future bigwigs in the future!
"...But, even if that's the case, didn't Lei Jun just give us the contact information of two people? Those two people can't be worth millions of dollars, right?"
Wu Xiuying didn't agree with the reason Zhang Junfeng gave. It is said that birds of a feather flock together. Just considering the current situation of Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun, the people who can be friends with them are probably people in similar situations and not doing well. How can she expect them to rise strongly? It's impossible no matter how she thinks about it! "...Then do you want to make a bet with me? If I invest in these two people in the future and they can bring me more than twice the investment profit, you will be my personal assistant in the future?" Zhang Junfeng looked at Wu Xiuying who was not convinced and smiled evilly.
"What if you lose? What will I get?" Faced with Zhang Junfeng's invitation, Wu Xiuying had no intention of backing down. In her opinion, she was sure to win!
"If you win, I'll give you $1 million as a reward. Isn't this a good bet?"
"...Okay! But this time the bet has to be limited to a time, right? It's impossible for these people to drag on for several years without any improvement, and you, boss, are unwilling to honor the bet, then I will lose a lot, right?" There was a glimmer of cunning in Wu Xiuying's eyes. In order to bet on possible loopholes, she also took some time to think about it.
"…Then let's do two years. If they can't bring me twice the profit within two years, I will lose this bet. If they do, you must abide by the agreement~!"
"It's a deal!" Wu Xiuying replied with a bright smile. But when she recalled the bet a year later, she was very upset that she was so naive at the time. Zhang Junfeng, the boss, must have deliberately set a trap for her!
…
At noon the next day, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun took the drafted investment and shareholding contract and successfully signed the contract with Zhang Junfeng. At the same time, Zhang Junfeng also stated that the investment funds would be transferred to Kingsoft Software Company's account on time according to the time limit agreed in the contract.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing that the investment was successfully obtained, the somewhat anxious Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun said goodbye to Zhang Junfeng and hurriedly boarded the nearest flight to Shanghai, intending to rush back overnight.
This time, they are going to recruit people to do a big job, and use various excellent products to announce that their Kingsoft Software Company has other flagship products besides WPS software! Whether it is the pirated copies of those unscrupulous vendors or industry giants like Microsoft, it is impossible to suppress them. Their Kingsoft Software Company can also be the "Microsoft" of Dragon Country! I don't know if it is because of the good news, but by the evening, Zhang Junfeng also got the latest feedback from Lin'an. The Ma Yun that Zhang Junfeng asked them to find and contact was found! Today's Ma Yun is similar to what Zhang Junfeng speculated. This is the soul figure who pushed the e-commerce shopping platform to the peak in the future. Not long ago, because of a disagreement with the leader of the unit, he finally resolutely resigned and stayed at home. In addition to chatting with some good friends in West Lake, he was thinking about the next way to make money.
(Note: In 1995, Ma Yun and his wife raised 100,000 yuan to establish Longguo Yellow Pages Company. In 1997, Longguo Yellow Pages was incorporated into the telecommunications department in Lin'an, and Ma Yun was employed by the International Electronic Commerce Center for a period of time.)
