Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 761 This time it was Yahoo
Lu Yiming's words were so domineering, not only did the reporter get carried away with excitement, but he was even more excited.

But these days, there are countless people who are bragging, especially those so-called entrepreneurs, who are more bragging than one.So the reporters quickly calmed down.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, according to reliable sources, you invested in PHS a few years ago, and PHS's performance is indeed very good now. Are you planning to replicate the success of PHS and produce a large number of people-friendly mobile phones?" Occupy the market?"

Considering the current economic environment in China, the cheap and affordable PHS is the first choice for many ordinary people who cannot afford mobile phones or phone bills.

But PHS was originally a cheap 2G technology, which Wu Ying bought from the island country, and the island country itself had already eliminated it.

But these, ordinary people do not know ah.Moreover, adopting a low-price strategy is beneficial to consumers in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, Lu Yiming continued to say amazingly: "The PHS mobile phone is too low-end. Although it is very profitable now, it is only a flash in the pan after all. I can boldly predict here that within three years, the development of PHS will If it falls into a downturn, PHS will be eliminated from the market in at most five or six years. What I want to do is to change the world's mobile phone."

Wu Ying, who was having afternoon tea with Jack Ma in the West Lake of Hangzhou, saw the report in the newspaper, and was so angry that he dropped the bowl, and raised his eyebrows angrily: "PHS has been eliminated? It's so absurd!"

Seeing that Wu Ying was so angry, Jack Ma, who was sitting opposite Wu Ying, quickly appeased him and said, "Old Wu, don't be angry. Don't you know what the morals of these domestic media are? They just write what is shocking, take it out of context, and write it down." None of the words are true. Think about it, Mr. Lu is the major shareholder of PHS, would he want PHS to be eliminated from the market? The unscrupulous media made use of it."

At this time, Wu Ying's status is still very arrogant. No matter in terms of seniority or strength, Jack Ma and Brother Xiaoma can only treat him as younger brothers now, and they must respectfully call him big brother when they meet.

In addition, Jack Ma and Wu Ying are fellow villagers and part of Zhejiang businessmen, so they are naturally on the same front in this matter.

Although what Jack Ma said was well-founded, Wu Ying still felt resentful and said, "You can't make fun of me. No, I have to ask the richest man Lu."

Among the wealthy people in China, Wu Ying is self-made. When he went to the United States in his early years, he did all kinds of dirty work to make a living. Now, in the past few years, he has finally seized the opportunity of "Little Smart", and Lu Yiming's With financial support, he finally took advantage of the trend and became a billionaire.

With such a life experience, his mind is the most sensitive, and he can't bear others' contempt.

What's more, it's Lu Yiming who says he can't do it in front of reporters and media.Not even as a joke.

The best situation is that Lu Yiming never said this at all, and it was all the unscrupulous media's self-indulgence.

Jack Ma must be on Wu Ying's side in his heart, but Lu Yiming is also his benefactor's father, so it is impossible for him to scold Lu Yiming just to get close to Wu Ying.

Therefore, for a while, he didn't know what to say.

As for Nokia and Motorola, which were also dissed, they directly chose to ignore them.

They didn't pay much attention to Lu Yiming, thinking that the so-called richest man in Asia was just bragging about his own company's popularity.

If you really want to respond formally, that would be demeaning.

China Sea.

Lu's garden.

Li Yiwen and Lu Yiming sat in the yard drinking tea and reading newspapers.

"You, you, you are such an adult, you still speak out loud."

Regarding Li Yiwen's evaluation, Lu Yiming seemed a little unconvinced, and argued with reason: "Isn't it okay to tell the truth? Their mobile phones are indeed rubbish, ugly and difficult to use, and others are not allowed to criticize?"

Li Yiwen had no choice but to lie back on the chair again, and said, "All right, all right, I can't beat you. Now the newspapers are saying that you are a sensationalist, and everyone is waiting to see your jokes."

Lu Yiming smiled disapprovingly and said, "In this world full of fools, it is inevitable that my genius will not be understood by ordinary people. But Nokia and Motorola are really calm, and they didn't scold me back."

Li Yiwen obviously couldn't understand Lu Yiming's smug arrogance, and complained: "Nokia and Motorola are big international brands, and they are afraid that you will get popular, so I am too lazy to respond to you, don't be too narcissistic."

Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "What about the big brands? When my invincible mobile phone comes out, I will definitely turn them into scum."

Li Yiwen didn't bother to discuss this with Lu Yiming, so he said, "I'm going back to Baiyun tomorrow morning, and your private jet hasn't been finished yet?"

Lu Yiming said unhappily: "No, Airbus is really slow. No wonder it can't beat Boeing. Anyway, I'm fine here. I'll go back to Baiyun with you tomorrow."

Li Yiwen joked: "Aren't you here to accompany your little girlfriend?"

Lu Yiming sighed and said, "She wants to go to graduate school, and spends all day in the library and classrooms, and the only rest time she has is to go to Guan Yue to study there."

Li Yiwen laughed loudly and said, "You guys were so proud before, but now you know you were wrong."

Back then, Li Yiwen could only watch Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue show off their affection in front of him, but now Li Yiwen has married Li Zixian and embraced a beautiful woman, but Lu Yiming got together less because of Shi Qingxue's graduate school. This gave Li Yiwen a feeling of Feng Shui turning.

Afterwards, Li Yiwen asked curiously: "Shi Qingxue chose to continue studying in graduate school, why don't you study in graduate school?"

Lu Yiming curled his lips and said, "She is studying for graduate school because she is free. The school promised to guarantee me a graduate degree, but I am very busy, okay? There are so many companies to manage every day, so many decisions for me to make, I Where do you have time to go to graduate school?"

Li Yiwen thought that if Lu Yiming went to graduate school, he would definitely have to do these things, so he quickly said: "Indeed, you made the right decision not to go to graduate school. All right, then I'm leaving, I have to pack up, see you at the airport tomorrow morning. "

"Row."

The next day, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen returned to Baiyun City.

At noon, Ning Xuehua prepared a table of sumptuous delicacies for Lu Yiming.

As a result, just halfway through the meal, Lu Yiming accidentally received a call from Zhou Hongyi.

"Mr. Lu, are you in Baiyun City? I just went on a business trip in Baiyun City recently. I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you have time to chat?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Your phone call is like installing a monitor on me. I just came back from Zhonghai in less than two hours. You can find a place, just tell me and I will go directly there."

An hour later, Lu Yiming and Zhou Hongyi met in a cafe.

Lu Yiming sat down opposite Zhou Hongyi, and joked, "You're not staying in the capital, what are you doing in Baiyun?"

Zhou Hongyi frowned slightly, and said seriously: "I have encountered a little problem recently, and I want President Lu to give me a staff officer."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "You bastard is full of dirty tricks, and your brain is full of coquettish operations, do you still need my advice?"

Zhou Hongyi stared angrily at the words, and said, "Don't talk about it!"

Get up and leave when you're done.

He himself is not a good-tempered person, even though Lu Yiming is his benefactor's father, he still doesn't show good looks.

After all, it is an old scalper that will be used to "plow the land" in the future. Lu Yiming hurriedly pulled him to sit down, and said, "You have come to the door, my dear brother, can I help you?"

Zhou Hongyi rolled his eyes at Lu Yiming, and said angrily, "Brother, ass, when you bought 3721 shares by force, you didn't treat me as a brother."

Lu Yiming argued shamelessly: "What is forced buying? I am clearly a strong alliance. You and I can make the company bigger and stronger by combining our two swords. Don't always be obsessed with some details. , the pattern needs to be opened, you know?"

Zhou Hongyi didn't give Lu Yiming any face at all, and immediately exposed his words: "I also make cakes for my employees every day, so don't fool me."

Although Zhou Hongyi was disgusted, he still admired Lu Yiming's vision of making money from the bottom of his heart, so he finally couldn't help but said: "Recently, the development of 3721 has indeed encountered a small problem, and it has reached a bottleneck."

"Bottleneck? What bottleneck?"

Lu Yiming was a little puzzled.I quickly recalled the development process of 3721 in my mind, and I didn't know what problems the leader in red would encounter during this period of time.

For the company 3721, the only thing Lu Yiming knew was that it was finally sold to Yahoo, which made him a lot of money.

From the beginning to the end, Lu Yiming didn't intend to let this fish belly company cause any trouble, so he didn't care much about the daily operation of 3721. He only sent people to check the accounts occasionally, so that Zhou Hongyi wouldn't be reimbursed thousands for a roll of sanitary napkins. Block show operation out.

"You don't know anything about it?"

Regarding Lu Yiming's question and ignorance, Zhou Hongyi expressed that he was quite hurt.

"Good guy, Mr. Lu, you really don't care about the life and death of our 3721 at all now."

Lu Yiming smiled awkwardly, and said shamelessly: "How is it possible? I have full trust in you, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Hongyi was very depressed. He was ten years older than Lu Yiming, but now he could only be "brother Zhou".

But who made him not as rich as Lu Yiming?
I can only endure it!
As for Lu Yiming's trust in him, Zhou Hongyi naturally scoffed.

If you really believe it, you won't have to send someone over every month to check the accounts. This is obviously because you are worried about his black company's money.

Although he could do this kind of thing, to put it bluntly, Lu Yiming still didn't trust him!
Lu Yiming didn't continue to dwell on these matters any longer, and urged: "Okay, stop talking about these gossips, and just tell me what trouble you're in."

Zhou Hongyi took a deep sip of the coffee, let the bitter coffee soak into his mouth, and then swallowed it down, and then said, "The biggest problem I have encountered now is how to go public with the company."

"IPO? What kind of IPO?"

After hearing this, Lu Yiming was speechless. After building the company, he would sell it to Yahoo, who took advantage of it. Why bother going public?
Zhou Hongyi didn't know how to read minds, so he naturally couldn't understand what Lu Yiming was thinking at this time. Instead, he asked with some doubts, "How can 3721 make money if it isn't listed?"

At this time, 3721 was the first Internet company in Xiaguo to achieve profitability during the cold wave of the Internet, but it was still making a dime, and it was making a hundred million, and the profits were graded.

The grade of 3721 is very unusual. Last year's channel sales exceeded [-] million. After deducting various expenses and costs, there is still a profit of tens of millions a year.

But the hearts of the people are not enough to swallow the elephant. Compared with the money in the listing circle, tens of millions obviously cannot satisfy Zhou Hongyi's appetite.

Today's 3721 company mainly makes profits by charging companies online real-name registration fees, similar to a virtual "business card" on the Internet, allowing Internet users to access 3721 by directly entering Chinese keywords in the browser. website.

The price is not expensive, 500 yuan can be done.

Of course, if you want to customize a unique and fancy website homepage, the cost will be calculated separately.

With this skill, Zhou Hongyi's 3721 successfully occupied the vast majority of the Chinese Internet market share, and Guangdong Province is a large province with a large concentration of small and medium-sized enterprises in Xia Kingdom, and it is also a region with developed enterprise informatization. The real name of the Internet is in Guangdong Province The recognition and penetration rate of online real names are very high. It is said that the annual sales of online real names in Guangdong Province are as high as tens of millions of yuan.

Obviously, Guangdong Province is the key area for 3721 Company's online real-name product sales, so Zhou Hongyi's company headquarters is obviously in the capital, but he spends most of his time here throughout the year.

Zhou Hongyi and Lu Yiming reported on the current operating conditions of 3721.After learning the specific situation, Lu Yiming was puzzled and asked Zhou Hongyi, "So, 3721's financial report data is pretty good, so it shouldn't be a problem to go public."

Zhou Hongyi said: "3721 is able to meet the conditions for listing, but there is still a lot of controversy within the company about where to go public. Currently, the three options are the Lion City in Nanyang, New York in the United States, and Hong Kong. .”

Lu Yiming did not directly choose an answer for Zhou Hongyi among the three options, but after careful consideration in his heart, he asked, "Where do you prefer?"

Zhou Hongyi sighed, and analyzed: "First of all, the Lion City capital market is limited by its own capacity and prospects, so it is not the ideal destination for Xia Guo Company. This can be found from the statistics of Xia Guo's listed companies. And Xia Guo Chinese companies are raising funds in New York, and they have to face the situation that there are too many monks and too few groceries. After all, there are already too many Xia Guo companies in the US stock market. The only way to go public in Xiangjiang is the best way, but the problem is that there are too many variables.”

It has to be said that Zhou Hongyi and the others' analysis is correct, and the choice of route is also correct.

Lu Yiming is also aware of the variables in the Xiangjiang capital market that Zhou Hongyi mentioned.

As a reborn person, Lu Yiming knows that at this point in time, the cold wave of the Internet at this stage has gradually faded, and the new Internet 2.0 era is coming.

In the next few years, the wealth myths of the Internet will be staged in turn, shocking the world's attention.

Can you bear the market value of trillions at every turn?

Of course, this is Lu Yiming's rebirth advantage, he knows this but others don't.Especially the Internet practitioners, at this time still have lingering fears and anxiety, for fear that after the cold wave, there will be an even colder cold wave.

Lu Yiming asked: "What variables can there be?"

Zhou Hongyi said: "Of course there is. The stock market is changing every minute. Even if 3721 is listed, venture capitalists will have to go through a half-year lock-up period to sell it. It is still unknown what the market will be like at that time. Isn't this a variable? ?"

Who should I turn to if I want to make money in the stock market quickly?Of course it is to find a venture capitalist.Now the lock-up period will be half a year, who knows what will happen in this half year?If the stock price of 3721 rises, it's okay-even if it doesn't rise or keep falling, then there is still a reason.However, in the past six months, the stock price of 3721 has dropped a little bit, which will directly affect the confidence of investors. Will Zhou Hongyi's stock still be able to sell at a price?
After listening to Zhou Hongyi's words, Lu Yiming finally knew why Zhou Hongyi was in such a difficult situation.He said dumbfoundedly: "Speaking of it this way, you still want to make a steady stream of big money."

Zhou Hongyi said, "What? You said that as if you didn't think so."

Everyone is out to mess around, so why not start a business to make money?Is it for the co-evolution of human beings?
As the saying goes, there are people who do the business of decapitation, but no one does the business of losing money.He, Zhou Hongyi, has made so many years since his debut, and has done so many things, what else is he thinking about if he doesn't think about making money?
Lu Yiming did not deny Zhou Hongyi's statement, but said: "Actually, if you really want to make money, 3721 may not necessarily need to be listed."

When Zhou Hongyi heard it, deep puzzlement appeared in his eyes: "How can you make money if you don't go public?"

Lu Yiming laughed loudly and said, "It's simple, just find a rich guy to take advantage of, and sell it to him at a high price?"

Zhou Hongyi thought it made sense after listening to it, and then began to look at Lu Yiming seriously, and asked, "Boss Lu, what do you think of my company?"

Lu Yiming was startled immediately: "Damn, I'll give you an idea, and you take me for a fool?"

Zhou Hongyi smiled and said, "It's about making money, it's not shabby."

"Shabby! What a fucking shabby!"

After Lu Yiming severely criticized Zhou Hongyi's dangerous thinking, he said, "What I mean is, you can sell 3721 to Yahoo."

Zhou Hongyi frowned: "Sell it to Yahoo? Will they buy it?"

Lu Yiming said: "Yahoo has always wanted to enter the Chinese search market. Yang Zhiyuan has been defeated by Google, a rising star in the United States. He tried to pay for the acquisition but was rejected. Now is the time to worry about retreating. Do you think Ah, isn't other people's troubles an opportunity for us to make money?"

Zhou Hongyi was not a good person in the first place, so he immediately understood what Lu Yiming said, and raised his thumbs up: "Boss Lu is very knowledgeable!"
