Chapter 146 Is it our turn to be so rich and powerful? (Updated)

In June 1997, Ding Lei founded NetEase in Guangzhou, focusing on Internet software application development. In November 1997, he launched the first bilingual email system in China, established a free mailbox system, and developed a distributed free email system. This project promoted the popularization and development of the Internet in China and was adopted by many Internet companies.

In February of this year, 163.net was opened for use, and the number of registered users increased rapidly at a rate of about 2,000 people per day. Many companies called NetEase and asked to purchase the system. This also brought NetEase the first bucket of valuable funds! Ding Lei's rise was obviously much easier than Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun's.

As for Ma Huazhuo, his progress was much slower than that of his predecessor Ding Lei. In February 1995, Ma Huazhuo invested in the establishment of the Pengcheng site of Huiduo.com and named it "Ponysoft". Later, he also met his predecessor Ding Lei on Huiduo.com. After that, more netizens opened sites on Huiduo.com, including Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun.

After seeing his predecessor Ding Lei establish NetEase and grow it bigger and stronger, Ma Huazhuo also had the idea of ​​quitting his job and starting his own business. However, he has not yet determined the direction and projects for his creative development, so he has not taken any action.

…

When Zhang Junfeng and his party arrived in Pengcheng, in the hotel room, Zhang Junfeng immediately took out the note that Lei Jun had given him before. Looking at the two names and their respective contact numbers left on it, Zhang Junfeng dialed the numbers without any hesitation.

At first, Ding Lei and Ma Huazhuo were not interested in the investment that Zhang Junfeng, a stranger, talked about. After all, this stranger, who was not related to them at all, talked about investment right away. The probability that he was a scammer was much higher than that of an investor, right?

Zhang Junfeng, who was repeatedly questioned by the two, had to use his previous investment of 6 million US dollars in Kingsoft Software Company as evidence to prove that he was not a liar, but a genuine big boss who came to Longguo to invest.

When they heard Zhang Junfeng mention the investment in Kingsoft Software Company, Ding Lei and Ma Huazhuo fell silent. It wasn't that Zhang Junfeng was full of lies, but that what he said was true! It was just that a foreigner spoke Chinese so fluently that it was even more authentic than theirs. This was a bit strange!

As for whether what Zhang Junfeng said was true or not, they were surprisingly unanimous in not questioning or objecting.

It turned out that just two days ago, after Lei Jun returned to the imperial capital, he immediately shared this explosive good news with several of his netizens in the forum.

Ding Lei and Ma Huazhuo were so jealous when they saw that Lei Jun had received such a large investment! You have to know that at a time when the average monthly salary was only 100 or 200 yuan, 6 million US dollars converted into 42 million RMB was a huge sum of money!

However, when they wanted to get information about this generous boss from Lei Jun, Lei Jun was unwilling to reveal too much, and only told them mysteriously that the boss might come to find them. This made the two of them a little skeptical. After all, he was unwilling to reveal anything before, and then he said that the other party might come to find them. It always felt that this was very contradictory! ...

At Zhang Junfeng's invitation, Ding Lei and Ma Huazhuo finally decided to meet with Zhang Junfeng, the big foreign boss. Perhaps they could really get a large investment like the two lucky guys Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun. Then, the company they opened would also be able to rise quickly and even surpass Kingsoft Software Company!

After agreeing on the specific time and place of the meeting with the other party, Zhang Junfeng hung up the phone with peace of mind and rested in the room.

The next morning, under the instruction of Zhang Junfeng, Wu Xiuying became the temporary head of the inspection team and led several representatives of the inspection team to the local investment promotion department in Pengcheng to discuss investment matters with the other party.

The representatives of the business promotion department in Pengcheng were quite enthusiastic about the foreign entrepreneurs who came from Korea. This delegation from Korea can be said to be a walking "God of Wealth"! They invested hundreds of millions of RMB in the capital and Shanghai to buy a lot of land for the construction of factories and shopping centers.

This time, they came to Pengcheng to discuss investment. What's the difference between this and a pie in the sky? Moreover, the higher-ups have issued a warning to attract as many powerful foreign companies as possible to invest and build factories in China, bringing them a large number of jobs and advanced production technology.

Pengcheng was previously positioned as an economically developed "demonstration zone" and must maintain its leading advantage. It would be too embarrassing if it were overtaken by its brother provinces and cities!

…

When the representatives of the business department heard Wu Xiuying's proposal to buy a large amount of land from them to open factories and shopping centers, they immediately became excited. It seemed that this big pie that fell from the sky was really going to fall on their heads! But the joy did not last long. A difficult problem soon emerged. When they took the map of Pengcheng and explained it to Wu Xiuying and others, Wu Xiuying gradually found several areas on the map that Zhang Junfeng had mentioned before that needed to be taken.

When she carefully drew them on the map, the head of the business department couldn't help but frown. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? The two areas selected by Wu Xiuying were exactly the reserve locations that already had corresponding planning plans but had not yet been implemented.

However, if they were to follow the other party's request and transfer an area of ​​the reserved places to the other party to open a factory and shopping center, it would inevitably lead to loopholes in their previous plans and require new adjustments and deployments.

At the beginning, the leader of the investment promotion department tried to change Wu Xiuying's mind by explaining to them and asked them to open a factory on other lands. At worst, the area of ​​land they could lease to them could be larger, so that everyone could achieve a win-win situation.

However, Wu Xiuying was very determined and was not willing to exchange for another piece of land. The negotiations instantly reached a deadlock. On one hand, there were foreign entrepreneurs who could bring a large number of jobs and taxes, and on the other hand, there was the need to readjust the planning and design plan. This was really a difficult choice! …

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Finally, after more than an hour of negotiation, the leaders of the investment promotion department finally made concessions in order to retain the foreign corporate delegation that took the initiative to visit and was willing to invest heavily. They could transfer the land in these areas to them, but correspondingly, the scale of the factory and the number of recruitment positions would have to increase to a certain extent in the future.
