Chapter 329 Americans Can’t Be Relied
Chen Guangxia stared at Qin Shaoyan blankly, feeling a little confused for a moment.

Although he had followed Qin Shaoyan for more than a year, he was still a little unsure of Mr. Qin's thoughts.

Mr. Qin looks young, a recent college graduate, but his thinking is always wild and imaginative. But in hindsight, it is found that his layout is amazing.

Moreover, although Qin Shaoyan looks amiable, he is actually very scheming. He is the kind of person who thinks three steps ahead and you can never guess what he is thinking.

Chen Guangxia’s current situation has a lot to do with Qin Shaoyan.

I was forced to resign from Qvod because of Mr. Qin.

I started my own business but ended up in trouble, all because of Mr. Qin.

But who can blame it?
Now President Qin asked him seriously what he was thinking, which made him hesitate.

This scene seems familiar.

This is President Qin asking him to make a choice.

Chen Guangxia felt that he had once again reached a crossroads in his destiny.

He looked at Qin Shaoyan cautiously and asked tentatively: "Boss Qin, what do you think I should think?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Brother Chen, we are family after all. We are much closer than those foreigners or people from Hong Kong and Taiwan, right?"

Seeing Chen Guangxia's hesitation, Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Brother Chen, do you really expect the Americans to help you?"

"They don't trust you at all. They are using you. It's all a trap. Be careful and don't let them harm you."

Chen Guangxia laughed at himself, "Then the Americans are unreliable, who can I rely on? Lenovo?"

Qin Shaoyan sneered, "That's even more unreliable."

Chen Guangxia nodded.

This is indeed true. If he had to choose who to trust between the foreigner and Mr. Qin, he would definitely choose Mr. Qin.

After all, President Qin raised 5 million US dollars in investment for him. Have those foreigners from Hong Kong and Taiwan ever done anything useful except ostracizing him?

Qin Shaoyan said slowly: "Brother Chen, you are the CEO of Yiku.com. You know the situation of Yiku.com best. What do you think of the future development prospects of this company?"

Chen Guangxia was a little hesitant. It was hard to say.

If there was any other investor, Chen Guangxia could directly tell Qin Shaoyan that Yiku.com was hopeless and he could just wait to die.

But Yiku.com has one biggest and only advantage, that is, it has a good father.

No matter how down and out it is, or how chaotic it is internally, it is still invested by Microsoft.

With this halo, Yiku.com will not fall. No matter how bad it is, it can launch a big move to summon the sponsors to continue to invest money and resources.

This is also an important reason why Chen Guangxia still insists on working at Yiku.com. The first reason is that the investment he raised has not been spent yet, and the second reason is that he still has some illusions about Microsoft.

When the situation at Yiku.com gets out of control, Microsoft will intervene directly to clean up the mess.

After all, Microsoft has spent money, it is impossible for it to just sit there and do nothing.

Chen Guangxia replied insincerely: "Maybe I can't be at the forefront of the industry, but I do have some potential."

"Brother Chen, do you think it's fun to lie to yourself?" Qin Shaoyan bluntly pointed out Chen Guangxia's words, "You know the current situation of Yiku.com better than me."

"Do you think that with Microsoft as its backer, Yiku.com will never fail?"

"You are totally wrong to think so." Chen Guangxia asked in astonishment, "How is it wrong?"

"Because Microsoft is unreliable." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "Do you think Microsoft will regard Yiku as a frontier for expanding the Chinese market? Do you think they will strongly support it?"

"You were wrong from the beginning. Although Davis is from Microsoft's investment department, his investment in you does not mean that your company is a subsidiary of Microsoft. There is a huge difference between the two."

Chen Guangxia was confused. "But Davis told me that when the time is right, Yiku.com will be merged and reorganized to become part of a multinational company."

Qin Shaoyan asked back, "Then which company did Davis tell you about the restructuring and merger of Yiku.com?"

"This..." Chen Guangxia was silent.

"Davis' investment in Yiku.com is actually just a casual move. Microsoft does have ambitions to enter the Chinese market, but they have different opinions internally." Qin Shaoyan said slowly, "Large companies, especially companies like Microsoft, have more complicated internal entanglements than you can imagine. Each department has different interests."

"Davis is from the investment department, and the video website is from another department. Davis will not care about the performance of the other department."

Chen Guangxia was somewhat puzzled, "Then why did Davis want to invest?"

"Of course it's to please the big boss, Bill Gates." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "Bill Gates wants to acquire YouTube, and YouTube wants to enter the Chinese market to increase its valuation. Bill Gates also thinks that entering the Chinese market is a good business strategy and is also good for the stock price."

"It's just that YouTube's acquisition of Qvod failed, and Davis wants to find another Chinese company as a replacement."

Chen Guangxia was shocked and angry, "I am actually a spare tire?"

"No, that's not the case." Qin Shaoyan hesitated for two seconds. "Qvod's valuation of $300 million is really too expensive. Davis also has to consider the cost-effectiveness. He thinks it's more cost-effective to build a completely obedient video website with $300 million."

Isn't this still a spare tire?
Chen Guangxia thought silently for a while, "Boss Qin, do you mean to tell me that Yiku.com has no future and that I should leave immediately?"

"Yes and no." Qin Shaoyan said with emotion, "Yiku.com is just like that. It won't achieve much. Those directors and executives are trying to tie your hands and feet every day. What else can you do?"

"It's better to make plans early. With your qualifications and skills, it's easy to start a new career."

"But before we go, we can still do something, like use Yiku.com to see if there is any remaining value."

Having said that, even if Chen Guangxia was slow-witted, he understood it.

Mr. Qin meant that since Yiku.com was already in such a state, it might as well be recycled and see if there was anything that could be sold.

Chen Guangxia asked tentatively: "Boss Qin, what do you want me to sell? It's not shares, right?"

"As for the shares, we'll talk about that later." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I need Brother Chen's cooperation."

"Cooperate?" Chen Guangxia was stunned. He instantly had a bad feeling. What was President Qin going to do?
"How does Mr. Qin need me to cooperate?"

"Brother Chen, please prepare a performance report for Yiku.com. The better the data, the better." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

"Isn't this fake?" Chen Guangxia hesitated.

"How can the performance report be called fraud?" Qin Shaoyan said seriously.

Chen Guangxia was determined and gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Qin, what do you need me to do?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Of course, this matter cannot be done by Brother Chen alone. We need to get those directors involved as well."

"Brother Chen, come closer and listen."

Qin Shaoyan whispered in Chen Guangxia's ear for a while, and Chen Guangxia showed an expression of surprise and joy on his face.
