Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 355 I, Ma Jack, Make Money
Hearing the word "AsiaInfo", Lu Yiming immediately lifted his spirits.

He didn't know who Ding Jian was, after all, he had never seen or heard of such a person anywhere in his previous life.

But this CICA, he is too familiar with it!
In [-], Tian Suning, Ding Jian and other students studying in the United States founded the Internet company "AsiaInfo" in the beautiful country.

In [-], with the ideal of "serving the country with science and technology" in mind, Tian Suning and Ding Jian led the main body of the company back to China, and AsiaInfo Technology (Xiaguo) Co., Ltd. was formally established.He took the lead in introducing the Internet to Xiaguo, made outstanding contributions to Xiaguo's informatization construction, and enjoyed the reputation of "Xiaguo Internet Architect".

Since [-], that is, last year, AsiaInfo began to introduce venture capital, and was the first high-tech enterprise in China to introduce venture capital.

That's why Ding Jian appeared here tonight.

He wants to find a rich father who is willing to spend money for AsiaInfo.

Obviously, Lu Yiming is a very suitable target.

After all, apart from Lu Yiming, there is no one who would spend 1000 million yuan to buy a free software like foxmail that has no profit at all.

All kinds of information about AsiaInfo passed through Lu Yiming's mind. Seeing that the big guy whose products under his name accounted for 70.00% of Xia Guo's information dissemination market share is now nodding and bowing to hand him his business card, Lu Yiming felt a strange feeling in his heart. a feeling of.

AsiaInfo is far less famous than BAT, but in the circle, it is a well-deserved boss.

Before his rebirth, Lu Yiming only knew about AsiaInfo, and it was impossible for him to get in touch with the inner circle.

But now, the founder of AsiaInfo stood in front of him, eagerly hoping that he would invest some money in AsiaInfo.

Immediately, he couldn't help the new student sighing: Tonight, I didn't come in vain.

When investing in a company like AsiaInfo, making money is secondary, and the key is to influence the Internet industry.

When you can control 70.00% of the right to speak in an industry, is making money still a problem?
At that time, you will even participate in leading the rules to a certain extent, and then who makes money and who does not make money, isn’t that up to you?

Lu Yiming took the business card from Ding Jian's hand and said to Ding Jian, "Boss Ding, can we find a place to chat?"

Ding Jian was very happy: "Okay, how about we sit on the sofa over there?"

"Row."

Lu Yiming immediately turned around and greeted Lin Shuyi: "You play slowly, I'll go over there."

Lin Shuyi glanced at Ding Jian, felt that he was unfamiliar, but didn't care much, so she joked with Lu Yiming with a smile: "I told you, you will definitely gain something if you come tonight. Go."

The two found a sofa to sit down, and each asked the waiter for a glass of wine. Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Boss Ding, are you planning to attract venture capitalists?"

Ding Jian did not shy away from talking about the difficulties he is facing now: "Yes. It is a pity that when I mentioned the name of AsiaInfo, most people have never heard of it. I heard that we are engaged in the Internet Yes, I hate it and refuse to invest.”

Lu Yiming was noncommittal about this kind of thing, and with a slanted mouth, he started talking about the business: "Actually, I also know about AsiaInfo."

"Really?"

Ding Jian was very surprised by Lu Yiming's words.

Ding Jian has always known that he is a person who does things and doesn't say nice words, which is why AsiaInfo is very low-key.Now that Lu Yiming actually said that he knew about AsiaInfo, Ding Jian was naturally surprised.

"Yes."

Lu Yiming was a little excited, and explained his views on the future to Ding Jian: "The Internet will form a huge emerging market, so I am very optimistic about the Internet. You AsiaInfo have been doing the Internet for so many years, of course I am concerned."

When Ding Jian heard that Lu Yiming was very optimistic about the Internet, his eyes lit up, and he felt that today's investment might be worthwhile.

And although AsiaInfo is short of money, Ding Jian doesn't want any money, at least he doesn't like those mine bosses from the Northwest.

Whether looking for partners or investors, Ding Jian tends to look for those who have the same goals.

AsiaInfo has encountered a bottleneck in its development right now. The Internet represents the future. However, most people in this world are very short-sighted.

This is especially true for capital. Most of the wealthy people in China now started their businesses by doing traditional businesses, and they are generally over 50 years old. They neither understand nor have much interest in new things.

You might as well talk about aliens if you talk about the Internet and high technology with them, at least they know that the aliens drive flying saucers.

Therefore, many Internet entrepreneurs in this era are angel investors with foreign capital, because no one in China invests in them.

I am afraid that this phenomenon will not improve until ten years later.

Lu Yiming weighed his words a little before he began to talk with Ding Jian: "The changes brought about by new things will inevitably be underestimated from the beginning, but gradually, everyone will feel the huge changes it brings to society. .One day, what we are doing will change the whole world.”

"Mr. Lu's opinion really won my heart."

It was rare to meet someone with whom he could communicate. Ding Jian pulled Lu Yiming and chatted a lot. As for the sale of shares, it was a matter of course.

Although not much, only about 5.00%, this is an admission ticket, and Lu Yiming didn't expect to make money from AsiaInfo's stock, so he accepted it gladly.

After talking about the business, Lu Yiming wanted to talk about something interesting, and Lu Yiming asked again: "Boss Ding, are you the No. 1 Internet in Xiaguo?"

In [-], there were almost no people in Xiaguo who understood the Internet, and only academics had a little understanding of the Internet.

After that, the Network Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences invited Ding Jian to return to China as a technical consultant to guide the construction.It was also from that time that Xia Guo began to develop the Internet.

Ding Jianqian is very hypocritical: "What kind of Xiaguo Internet No. 1 am I? If you want to say this No. 1, it is Mr. Wu Weimin, the leader of the ALEPH group of the Institute of High Energy Physics. He is the one who sent the first international email. , declaring that Xia Guo has officially joined the Internet family. That was all in [-]."

With Ding Jian's narration, Lu Yiming had an intuitive understanding of the history of that period of time.

Every middle school student has probably learned a brief history of computers. They know that computers in [-] were as big as houses. Internet people can make it clear.

"When AsiaInfo was first established, it wanted to provide economic information to each other through the Internet, but Pretty Country was worried about Xia Guo's opening of the Internet, and Xia Guo was also particularly worried about security issues. "

When Ding Jian said this, Ding Jian kept laughing, but Lu Yiming knew that the worries of the two countries had finally become a reality, but this topic cannot be discussed in depth, after all, he is a businessman, and there are some things that he cannot handle. touched.

Lu Yiming sighed: "Fear stems from the unknown. People don't understand the Internet, so they are afraid. As time goes by, everyone understands the Internet, even uses the Internet, and develops the Internet. After that, there will be no question of whether to be afraid or not." Yes. On the contrary, I think Xia Guo will open up to the Internet faster than everyone imagined, and maybe even the Internet media will surpass the print media in the future."

Ding Jian showed an unbelievable expression: "Why is Mr. Lu so confident in the Internet? I'm not fully sure now. The Internet alone can surpass paper media?"

Lu Yiming's eyes were firm: "Of course, the Internet will be another parallel world in the future. Most of people's things in the real world can be obtained on the Internet. For example, if you buy things in a shopping mall now, you may change them in the future." With a single mouse click, you can buy things on the Internet.”

At this moment, two people came over.

"Mr. Lu, hello."

Both Lu Yiming and Ding Jian turned their heads to look.

The looks of these two people were so distinctive that Lu Yiming recognized them immediately.

"Wu Ying?"

"Marjack?"

Good guy, these are all big guys here today.

PHS, that is the memory of a generation.

Let's not talk about Jack Ma, the man who changed the Internet ecology of Xia Kingdom.

However, what made Lu Yiming curious was, why did these two people appear in Baiyun City?
Shouldn't Majack be in Hangtown by now?
Lu Yiming took the business cards of Ma Jieke and Wu Ying, pointed to the seat opposite, and said with a smile: "Sit down. Let me introduce you. This is Ding Jian from AsiaInfo, Mr. Ding. No. 1 in the Mainland Internet."

Ma Jieke quickly sent Ding Jian a business card.

"Nice to meet you."

Wu Ying and Ding Jian are old acquaintances. After all, one is making customized machines for operators, and the other is making networks for operators. They are considered partners.

"Old Ding is here too. What are you talking about with Mr. Lu?"

Ding Jian smiled and said, "Old Wu is here. I'm talking with Mr. Lu about the future of the Internet in mainland China. Mr. Lu told me that he is very optimistic about the Internet and that the Internet has great potential."

Facing Lu Yiming, Ma Jieke was not timid at all, and immediately said: "Currently, Xia Kingdom has a population of 12 billion, which is an extremely huge market. Once the Internet is fully popularized, the prospects are limitless. It's up to us."

Lu Yiming complained in his heart, as expected, he is a man who conquers the world with one mouth, so he can do it with this mouth.

He teased: "The whole world? Including the beautiful country?"

Ma Jack was speechless.

He just followed Ding Jian's words and flattered him. How could he have thought that Lu Yiming would break the casserole and ask the end?
With the current national strength, if Xia Guo wants to compare with the beautiful country, it really can't even catch up with the horse.

Don't look at the fact that Xia Country has the most netizens in the world in the future, but it can't stand the fact that the netizens in the beautiful country are rich, and the purchasing power of the two is not at the same level.And this is also truly reflected in the stock price. The market value of the Internet giants in the beautiful country is generally higher than that of the Xiaguo companies of the same type.

For example, Facebook, a social giant in the beautiful country, had a market capitalization of about US$100 billion at its peak, while Penguin, which is also a social giant, only had US$4000 billion, a full one-third less.

From here we can see the economic gap between the two countries.

But Ma Jack is obviously not the kind of person who would blush and be ashamed after being exposed by others. The word "face" does not exist in his dictionary.

Ma Jieke didn't seem to see Lu Yiming's playful expression, and said: "Mr. Lu, after all, we still have a large number of people in Xia Kingdom, and the number of people is the biggest advantage. Moreover, with the development of the economy, our people are getting richer gradually. Therefore, it is definitely promising to engage in the Internet.”

All he said was that he wanted to exaggerate the potential of the Internet economy, and then cheat some small money from Lu Yiming to start a business.

Of course, how can starting a business be called cheating?

If you like me, this is called angel investment.

Of course Lu Yiming knew what Jack Ma was thinking.

So instead of sarcasm, he smiled and asked him: "You talk about the Internet so well, do you want to start a business?"

Ma Jieke was told by Lu Yiming, but without the slightest hesitation, he admitted directly: "Yes, I have this idea. The Internet in Xia Guo has just started, and now is the best time to enter."

"Mr. Lu, I started the Yellow Pages a few years ago, and recently held the Canton Fair online. I think the Internet has achieved remarkable results in promoting trade. This brand-new trading method will definitely break the original trade and economic order. So I I plan to do Internet business. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested?"

Only then did Lu Yiming know that Ma Jieke appeared in Baiyun City to attend the Canton Fair.

And Ma Jieke has said so much, boasting so much about the Internet, in fact, the final foothold is this last sentence.

He wants to start a business.

To put it simply: I, Ma Jack, play money.

Lu Yiming's identity still had a halo, so from the moment he talked with Ding Jian, many people around him were paying attention to him.

Ding Jian's speech and demeanor are very restrained, and talking about the history of the Internet with Lu Yiming made many people start to re-examine the Internet.

But Ma Jack is a big fool. He keeps saying that the Internet has a future, can make money, and wants to start a business.

Isn't it obvious that it's for Lu Yiming's money?
Who doesn't know that Lu Yiming spent 1000 million to buy a free email software?
Not to mention not earning a penny, you have to continue to burn money in it.

There is no doubt that Ma Jieke was playing with Lu Yiming's wallet.

In order to get money from Lu Yiming, Ma Jack's cowhide was almost blown to the sky.

Also break the original trade and economic order, who do you think you are?

Even his good buddy Wu Ying was embarrassed, wishing he could step forward and cover his mouth so that he wouldn't be full of cannonballs here.

"It's almost done, let's talk about something else."

Wu Ying knew Ma Jieke well. This guy's hands-on ability was far less than his mouth-moving ability, and when he boasted, it was as if he had drunk fake wine.Sometimes get carried away with pride, offending many people.

Faced with Wu Ying's obstruction, Ma Jieke, who had already said hi, didn't appreciate it at all.

"I still have a lot of things I haven't communicated with Mr. Lu. It's a rare opportunity. Don't stop me."

Lu Yiming also smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, it's okay, let Jack continue talking."

Seeing these two big guys coming and going here, Lu Yiming felt very sorry.If I had known that I would bring a camera, this is the dark history of the early business tycoons.

After getting Lu Yiming's approval, Ma Jieke obviously became more energetic, and asked: "Mr. Lu, are you also optimistic about the new transaction mode of Internet shopping?"
