Zhao Chen couldn't help but smile as he looked at these big shots who were in such a hurry to contact him.
Lei Jun's team, in particular, was clearly in a hurry.
Because the other party sent him several emails in a row, as if afraid he wouldn't see them.
His attitude towards the future bigwig, Pony Ma, was also very humble and modest.
The email was also hilarious, saying that they were also researching the same type of software, but QICQ had only just started when it was already defeated by Zhao Chen's QQ.
It was nipped in the bud before it even started, and all their initial investments went down the drain.
I wonder if Zhao Chen, this big shot, could give them some pointers.
I also took the opportunity to ask Zhao Chen what his views were on the future of the internet world, and whether he could point them in the right direction for development.
Since qicq can't develop its own projects, they have to find new ones.
After all, the money has already been invested; if they withdraw now, it will be a complete waste. And starting a new business won't be easy for them either…
It must be said that the various internet celebrities during this period still possessed a strong sense of chivalry and江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry).
Perhaps due to the influence of traditional ideas and martial arts novels, many big shots know each other and help each other.
The reason why Lei Jun was so anxious was obviously because Zhao Chen's software had created a huge conflict with their core competitive business.
If they don't get in touch with Zhao Chen soon, they're probably going to be killed.
Little Ma was so badly beaten that he lost all courage to fight and even considered giving up on QICQ.
They've only just begun, but the other side has already built a castle. How are they supposed to fight them?
Zhao Chen could sense the conflicted feelings of these bigwigs from the words in the emails.
He knew he couldn't let things sit there any longer; he didn't want to ruin the future bigwig.
Therefore, Zhao Chen sent important replies to these bigwigs one after another.
He gave Yao Dong: "This is my contact information and address. We'll meet another day."
To Pony Ma: "I know you created QICQ, but it's too rough. Are you interested in working with me on Penguin? I can acquire QICQ. I really admire your team."
A message to Jack Ma (Ali's father): "Brother Ma, are you interested in investing? Fly over and let's discuss it in person!"
As for the remaining big shots who will soon be swept away by the tide, Zhao Chen didn't have much patience. People always have to become realistic.
Unless they are truly skilled and have a broad vision, but their failure is due to bad luck, Zhao Chen doesn't have time to play around with them for long.
Zhao Chen's time is very precious right now, as several unicorns have already appeared.
He has to get what he deserves before anyone else.
To Zhao Chen's surprise, Golden Umbrella Company replied almost instantly, responding to his email immediately after seeing it:
"Okay, we'll fly there tomorrow. Is that a convenient time for you?"
Seeing the reply, Zhao Chen smiled: "Okay. See you tomorrow!"
After agreeing on a time and place to meet, Zhao Chen knew that he and Lei Jun had established a very good communication bridge.
When we need Lei Jun in the future, we can connect with him.
Now he has a lot of free time, and with Alice's help, taking leave is a very simple thing.
On the other side, Little Ma also replied to the email as quickly as possible. Zhao Chen could clearly sense that the other party was very excited.
"Boss, are you serious? You're willing to acquire our team? How much would you offer?"
Zhao Chen replied: "What do you think?"
"Two million? Oh, no... I'll sell it for one and a half million."
Seeing this negotiation skill, Zhao Chen showed no trace of the future big boss's demeanor; he was clearly still a bit green.
However, it's understandable, since at this point, Little Ma was even pretending to be a girl and chatting with users who had initially registered accounts.
It's clear that Ma Ying-jeou is currently lacking in confidence.
After all, as a failed competitor and a failed work, no one needs to buy it.
But what Zhao Chen wants to buy is Pony Ma's team, as well as the connections behind Pony Ma.
With him supporting us, things will go more smoothly in the future.
Actually, Pony Ma wanted to try his old "knock-off" method again, but he found that he couldn't crack the other party's software encryption methods at all.
Zhao Chen's casual encryption algorithm surpasses that of even the top programmers today.
In fact, this algorithm had already been widely adopted in later generations, but this particular juncture coincided with the early days of the internet in the East. Zhao Chen's knowledge and technology were far ahead of theirs; any technology he casually displayed could astound a large number of people.
It was Zhao Chen's move that dampened Xiao Ma's spirits; he simply couldn't beat the opponent.
Now that they've heard the other party is willing to buy their software, how could Pony Ma dare to ask for a high price?
Giving even a little bit is already quite generous...
And among those who discuss business, very few are not ruthless.
At this moment, Zhao Chen tapped on the desktop and replied to his email message directly.
"Let's go on QQ, we can chat directly on QQ, you have a QQ account, right?"
"Yes, yes, I'll log on right away. Hey bro, what's your account? I'll add you."
So the two quickly started chatting online.
After this experience, Pony Ma was even more impressed by how useful the penguin was.
Compared to their newly developed QICQ, this is so much better.
Moreover, it's pleasing to the eye, and some of its functions were things he had never even considered before.
So, he was quite excited to be noticed by such a big shot.
"Boss, I can sell for 1.5 million. But I have one condition: I hope you can keep our team."
“That team came out with me to work hard, and everyone has had a tough time. If they lose their jobs because I sold the software, I will feel guilty. You are so capable, please give them a chance to make a living.”
"But don't worry, they are all very capable, they are all elites in the industry."
They are indeed very capable, but the online world is just beginning. Although the internet industry is developing rapidly, finding a job is not so easy.
There are still too few companies that can accommodate them.
Moreover, this is a team like this. And now they are specializing in the field of instant messaging.
This field is currently a blue ocean in the entire Eastern internet world.
Before Zhao Chen appeared, they were already the strongest.
But if Zhao Chen doesn't want them now, the team will inevitably fall apart, and the team members will really have a hard time finding new jobs in the short term.
This is something that Little Ma (Ma Huateng) finds very difficult to bear.
However, the pressure of starting a business was immense. Especially the lack of a future and the uncertainty of success; even if he could persevere for a while longer, he wasn't sure what the outcome would be.
At that moment, Little Ma had no idea that as long as he weathered those challenges, he would become a future billionaire.
However, with Zhao Chen's arrival, things have quietly changed.
Upon seeing the request from Little Ma, Zhao Chen almost burst out laughing.
However, he responded to Little Ma's question very seriously:
"Okay, then let them join my team. However, I have one condition: you must join as well!"
Just kidding, Zhao Chen's interest is all about Pony Ma. Without Pony Ma, the team would be missing half its soul.
In this way, Zhao Chen's online strategy instantly gained momentum.
However, he still needs to meet and have a good talk with these big shots from his previous life. Once he gets these key factors under control, the rest will be a smooth road ahead!
What many people don't know is that on such an inconspicuous evening, the foundations for two future unicorn companies were laid.
Meanwhile, the Zhao family was in an uproar because of Zhao Chen's matter!
