What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 275

Chapter 275 Gains and losses (5k)

WeChat company visited the door and first proposed the idea of ​​exchanging equity with traffic, and then presented the already sincere 360.

This made Zhang Chaoyang fall into deep thought.

Yu Xing exchanged glances with Li Shanyou next to him. Although he had not received any approval, he also felt that the balance was tilting in a favorable direction.

He waited for a while and said try hard: “Mr. Zhang, I have a lot of evidence of the competition between us and WeChat.”

Seeing that Zhang Chaoyang did not object, Yu Xing talked more familiarly about the content of lobbying Zhou Hongyi before.

Zhang Chaoyang did not comment on this.

However, he interrupted halfway through hearing it, “Okay, OK, Yu Xing, data can be lying, you don’t have to talk to me about this.”

The same data may be completely opposite from different angles, not to mention the problem of the data itself.

Yu Xing did not persist and said with a good attitude: “Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are the godfather of the domestic Internet before. For the competition between us and WeChat, please give me more advice.”

Zhang Chaoyang’s expression was slacking off and he said slowly, “Yu Xing, I can teach you to meditate.”

Yu Xing was confused: “?”

Li Shanyou couldn’t help blinking when he heard such a sudden change in style, and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Zhang Chaoyang said calmly: “The world is still the same world, and it is always full of fierce competition, but I am different. Yu Xing, what do you think this person wants to make so much money?”

Yu Xing’s mindful ideas of mobile Internet, instant messaging competition, traffic equity swap, resistance to monopoly, etc., which can be called at any time have all become stuck.

He looked at Zhang Chaoyang, with this person’s demeanor…

Others don’t play like it, but Zhang Chaoyang doesn’t play like it.

Yu Xing remembered this anecdote and was not sure whether he is in good health now.

He was silent for a while, and he didn’t know what angle he talked about, so he had to say, “The company needs money, our competition with our competitors also needs money, and employees from all over the country also need money.”

Zhang Chaoyang shook his head and said, “More money does not necessarily mean happiness.”

Yu Xing pondered: “I don’t know if there is more money to be happy, but less money…”

Zhang Chaoyang interrupted again, “Yu Xing, you are too obsessed with it. I can talk to you about Buddhism.”

Yu Xing felt that Sohu might be out of the way this time. He and Zhang Chaoyang were not on the same frequency. He did not understand Buddhism. Why not talk about medicine with him?

The founder of WeChat fell silent, and Vice President Li Shanyou still wanted to fight for it, and also believed that he could still fight for it.

The reason why Li Shanyou gave up his work and came to Beijing this time was because he had a lot of connections here, especially Sohu, who was able to speak well.

Before he founded Ku6.com, he served as the editor-in-chief of Sohu. He made great contributions to the company in five years. Zhang Chaoyang gave a high evaluation when summarizing Li Shanyou’s Sohu career – “retire after success.”

At this time, Li Shanyou talked about friendship, Sohu, and the changes in the domestic Internet in recent years.

But… Zhang Chaoyang was not the normal style of commercial bosses at this time, and he could not be used to describe it according to the normal practice.

Yu Xing changed from his previous professional perspective and could actually accept the situation in front of him. Depression is not only on the spiritual level, but also on organic changes, that is, the physical organs themselves are ill.

Li Shanyou was a little confused as he chatted, but he also knew that Zhang Chaoyang was indeed not tempted by investment.

“Mr. Zhang, please consider it again.” Yu Xing did not force himself, nor could he force himself, so he could only end the meeting with such words.

Seeing Yu Xing so straightforward, Zhang Chaoyang said, “Yu Xing, don’t be too paranoid. It may not be bad to stop early. Moreover, you offended others, do you know?”

Yu Xing frowned slightly: “Mr. Zhang, I offended a lot of people. Who are you talking about?”

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned and said, “You went to 360. Now you are here in Sohu. Do you still have to go to Sina later?”

Yu Xing nodded, there was nothing to hide.

Zhang Chaoyang shook his head and said, “You have made this traffic exchange equity that Sina has done before. In 2005, it exchanged advertising resources for 5% of the equity of Tudou.com. You just poked Tudou.com. Do you still want to find Sina?”

Yu Xing was surprised and did not know this.

Zhang Chaoyang said earnestly: “I know you young people are not convinced, but I advise you that if you want to succeed, you must stand on the shoulders of the giant, instead of thinking about defeating the giant. Yu Xing, please stop offending people.”

Yu Xing stood up, stretched out his right hand, and then shook with the head of Sohu and said sincerely: “Affect the doctor’s advice.”

Zhang Chaoyang: “!”

Yu Xing grabbed his backpack, took Li Shanyou to say goodbye to Zhang Chaoyang, and called on the employees waiting in the reception room to silently leave the well-known Chinese Internet company.

When Li Shanyou heard the last words Mr. Yu said to Mr. Zhang, he thought he was resentful and walked beside him and explained: “Mr. Yu, Mr. Zhang is actually quite good. Sohu has always had a very relaxed space for trust in his work.”

Yu Xing pursed his lips and replied concisely: “It’s not what you thought. Didn’t you see him a little depressed?”

Li Shanyou was stunned and turned a little suspicious. The one he saw this time was indeed very different from the one before… Mr. Yu’s hint… Is there any news that Bai Xiaosheng of Jianghu that he doesn’t know?

Yu Xing walked faster and faster. Although he knew that this person was in a state of illness, he was also a Buddhist and taught meditation, and he offended so little, just to make money. Why was it so hard?

The company with traffic behind doesn’t know what its attitude is, and I don’t know whether it can achieve results this time, money…

Yu Xing remembered the days when he was forced by money. He looked at the situation where he was still short of money. Suddenly, he became brave and felt that wildfire was raging in his heart, and thoughts in his mind were rising one after another, deception was eternal, and bubbles were always there. One day, if you cross the mountain, you can force the seven sisters in the US stock market to show the world a big fireworks, and it would be worth his life.

“Mr. Yu.” Li Shanyou had to trot to follow the boss. He was about to talk about the next lobbying, but saw that his expression was gloomy and asked, “What are you thinking?”

Immediately, he heard the boss’s firm and cold answer.

“Occur more people.”

Li Shanyou felt suffocated, and he naturally knew why there was such a trip to the capital.

To be fair, he felt that Mr. Yu could actually be more restrained or gentler. Some things would not be so many storms if they gave in, but people’s personality was often difficult to change.

Li Shanyou didn’t realize that Mr. Yu was paranoid when he got along with each other in daily life, but when he encountered similar problems this time, his enthusiasm became stronger.

If you want to say that this experience shapes your personality, when you are fine, you think about Mr. Yu’s past and think that dropping out of school and starting a business should not be so sharp. You have never heard of any discord in family relationships. It can only be attributed to the fact that people who are growing up under the Red Banner have a hard heart.

“Mr. Li, even if WeChat is not working, don’t leave.” Yu Xing stood by the car door and said seriously, “There is still a big deal in the information content of the mobile Internet, and you are suitable for this.”

This is the first time since Li Shanyou has heard Mr. Yu try to keep him, and he feels a little heavy.

At the beginning, he actually came to witness the development and failure of mobile Internet projects, but as WeChat grew larger, he became less and less willing to see his original goal.

“It’s just that Sohu can’t do it, and it’s not anything else and there’s no vision.” Li Shanyou comforted him, “There are no way out again, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers.”

Yu Xing patted the vice president’s arm, got rid of his emotions and turned to pay attention to things: “Let’s go, Mr. Li, have a meal first, then go find Sogou, come one by one, as long as there are more ones, it’s good.”

Li Shanyou breathed a sigh of relief and got into the car.

As it turns out, the situation is not that bad, and normal business communication can still be carried out.

Compared with the parent company, Sogou’s style is very normal.

Wang Xiaochuan listened carefully to the introduction and analysis from the WeChat lobbying team and showed a certain interest.

However, when Li Shanyou talked about the investment that 360 had already made, Yu Xing noticed Wang Xiaochuan’s frown in a slight way and quickly answered the words.

“Hey, this is 360. The incident with Penguin this year was really a huge Internet storm. However, I didn’t expect that Penguin would invite me to attend a strategic seminar to reflect on past strategies.”

“This is something I really didn’t expect.”

Yu Xing mentioned different angles of the same material.

Li Shanyou stopped when the boss answered and turned to observe the situation.

This is an adjustment discussed during lunch. Leave it to Li Shanyou for active investment, so that there is a layer of room for communication, and it is really used now.

Wang Xiaochuan’s reaction was normal and he said in surprise: “The Penguin invites you?”

“Yes, Liu Chiping also added my WeChat.” Yu Xing clicked on his phone, showed him the friend list, and shook his head, “The last storm, there were problems on both sides, and they all need to be reflected on. For example, the privacy protector of 360, if other software is renamed, it will be reminded that there are privacy issues. How can this be done?”

Wang Xiaochuan nodded slightly: “Yes, there are problems on both sides.”

“No matter what, I really hope that our domestic industry will develop healthier.” Yu Xing mentioned Alibaba again, “In two days, we will go to Lin’an to talk to Alibaba. The mobile Internet should be full of flowers.”

Wang Xiaochuan pondered: “Mr. Yu, you are right, but I have to consider the specific way of cooperation like WeChat.”

“Xiaochuan, Mr. Zhang is also considering it.” Li Shanyou and Wang Xiaochuan are old acquaintances. “What I mean, it really doesn’t work. You can shorten the traffic time a little. If our WeChat improves later, we will still not close the window of cooperation.”

Wang Xiaochuan did not answer immediately.

Li Shanyou changed his thoughts, sighed, and complained: “I haven’t seen Mr. Zhang in the past two years, and I don’t know what’s going on with him. I’m worried about this and that, and I heard from several old friends that Mr. Zhang’s desire to control now is a bit strong.”

Wang Xiaochuan couldn’t help but shake his head when he heard him say this: “Someone always says something inexplicable next to him.”

Yu Xing handed Li Shanyou a wink. Li Shanyou accepted it perfectly and talked about Sohu in the past and Sohu in the present.

No one feels more empathetic than Wang Xiaochuan when talking about the differences between Sohu or Zhang Chaoyang.

Especially, this difference is even more true when Sogou Company.

360 wanted to acquire Sogou in June this year, but almost all agreed to Zhang Chaoyang, but Wang Xiaochuan strongly opposed it but failed, so he could only go to Lin’an to find Ma Lian, and finally avoid being “harmful”.

Wang Xiaochuan has certain differences with Sohu on the issue of Sogou.

  Talking about 360 is a negative factor, but talking about Zhang Chaoyang seems to be a common topic.

Wang Xiaochuan was happy and asked Yu Xing to talk about the market situation of WeChat again. When he heard that Penguin wanted to acquire, or even just wanted to obtain the equity of some shareholders, the destructive tough acquisition was too disgusting.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Wang Xiaochuan made a decision to invest in WeChat companies with two months of traffic resources equivalent to 15 million yuan.

He held Yu Xing’s hand and was quite sincere: “Mr. Yu, like you, I also hope to see a blooming mobile Internet, but Sogou also needs to develop, so I can only do this first.”

Yu Xing was already grateful for this: “Mr. Wang, there are thousands of words, only thanks!”

Li Shanyou also shook hands with Wang Xiaochuan: “Xiaochuan, thank you, let’s work together!”

Wang Xiaochuan personally sent the WeChat people into the car.

Yu Xing sat in the car and looked at Wang Xiaochuan in the rearview mirror. He felt that what he had said was not false: “Mr. Wang does feel a bit literary.”

“Ha, right?” Li Shanyou was in a very good mood. “With the traffic base of Sogou and 360, our gap can be filled a lot. No matter what happens in the future, it can be considered as passing.”

Yu Xing nodded: “Well, the more you have, the better. If you are forced by today’s capital, this path may bring more help than you imagine.”

In one day, two of the three companies were willing to cooperate, which was enough to dispel the depression caused by Zhang Chaoyang’s abnormal painting style.

However, neither Sina nor Sina Weibo, who continued to visit the next day, made no progress and only received polite replies with “consideration”.

Such two visits may be really related to the factors of Tudou.com, or Sina is also considering instant messaging products, but the response is indeed not good.

Li Shanyou’s comment on this is: “Everyone is willing to watch the fun, and he will be stingy when he really takes out the things.”

Yu Xing can understand and accept this.

When people go to the capital and look for traffic, they naturally have to look at Baidu, a big traffic player.

Because Baidu has the same strength as Penguin, WeChat and his group have left a full day.

However…

Yu Xing and Li Shanyou only met Baidu’s vice president Fei Qidong, but did not meet the head Li Yanhong, and soon got a basic attitude – asking for money.

  Invest in traffic, no, no, if you want traffic, you have to pay.

  Invest money, that’s even worse. We are asking for money from others.

In the morning, I couldn’t agree on the results with Baidu’s vice president, but the other party arranged a meeting of the joint department in the afternoon and wanted to discuss WeChat’s market competition together.

Yu Xing, in line with his feelings of coming, tried his best to introduce the situation and strive for this commercial cooperation.

When his speech ended, a small discussion sounded in the conference room.

Yu Xing took two sips of tea and saw a similar judgment on Li Shanyou’s face, and it was almost impossible to have a chance.

“Mr. Yu, the competition for WeChat this time is very difficult. It is almost impossible for a homogeneous thing like instant messaging to beat Penguin. It has more resources than you think.”

Someone spoke in the conference room and gave his own judgment.

When Yu Xing heard this, he looked closely and saw a young man in white robe… Oh no, the man in a white plaid shirt was sitting at the end.

He asked, “This one is…”

“This is Director Zhai Yifei from our post bar.” Fei Qidong introduced.

Yu Xing nodded and asked, “Mr. Zhai, do you think homogeneous things cannot beat Penguin, so what can you win?”

Zhai Yifei said seriously: “Mr. Yu, I agree with your judgment on the rapid development of mobile Internet. Smartphones will be fast and will also bring something completely different from PCs. In fact, I have also read your judgment and summary of the entire Internet development stage.”

“From the market to users to demand to traffic to data, it’s quite inspiring.”

“As at this stage, the mobile Internet will further increase users’ growth and will also bring more user needs. We need to start from this aspect to have hope.”

“For example, Sina is a typical example. It started with a portal website, then had a blog, and now had a Weibo. This evolution direction is worth thinking about and reference.”

“In the era of mobile Internet, I think decentralized information acquisition will be another set of things that are more threatening to penguins.”

Yu Xing remembered Zhai Yifei’s face and discussed with interest: “For decentralized information acquisition, Sina Weibo is a bit of a meaning to let everyone participate. Do you think it is a further strengthening of this model?”

Zhai Yifei thought for a while: “Absolutely, the portal websites are manually screened by editors. Sina Weibo has already generated information spontaneously, but it still relies on the celebrity effect. The mobile Internet will change all this, and the decentralized information model will be more free.”

Yu Xing noticed the impatientness on the faces of other people in the conference room and raised a question: “Is the so-called freedom of decentralization a bit of a false proposition? Sina Weibo has further developed, and the information produced by users is massive and must be supported by accurate algorithms. Then, control is nothing more than the transfer of artificial elites to algorithmic rules. This kind of switch is just transferred from the editorial room to the server cluster. Is it more freer or more centralized?”

Zhai Yifei frowned and thought, but could not give the answer for the time being.

“Mr. Zhai, add WeChat later and have a detailed chat if you have time.” Seeing that he had no answer, Yu Xing said this and continued to respond to other people’s questions about WeChat competition.

In the end, the result of this meeting was that it did not agree with WeChat’s cooperation.

That is, after two orders were reached on the first day, there were no grains for two consecutive days.

Li Shanyou sat in the car and saw that Mr. Yu was in a good mood. He couldn’t help but say, “I haven’t gotten such a lot of traffic on Baidu. Mr. Yu, are you still laughing?”

Yu Xingheran: “I think that Zhai Yifei’s words are interesting. Mr. Li, you used to be the editor-in-chief of Sohu. What do you think if you use algorithms to make information, what will be like in the future?”

“Power reconstruction.” Li Shanyou thought for a while, shook his head, “I can’t think of it. I just want to do the traffic on WeChat now.”

“Don’t you, go see me with you in the evening, Bi Sheng from Letao.com, I asked him to help make an appointment with Xiaomi’s Lei Jun.” Yu Xing said the arrangements.

Li Shanyou thought for a few seconds: “Lui Jun who wants to make a mobile phone? The one from Kingsoft? His company has little traffic.”

Yu Xing said “yes, but YY, who is engaged in computer voice software, has good traffic. When we flew to Yangcheng, we had an intermediary to talk. Lei Jun is a shareholder of YY company, and he has also invested in UC browser.”

Li Shanyou nodded: “Okay, who said we offended many people? This has a good relationship.”

Yu Xing pursed his lips: “Well… Bi Sheng seemed to have a little stalemate with Lei Jun because of me…”

Li Shanyou: “…”

Yu Xing made a decision: “Let Bi Sheng punish Bi Sheng with three glasses of wine, I am a shareholder of Letao.com.”

Li Shanyou lit a cigarette, okay, beating a cow from the air is also a cow.

Bai Xiaosheng once had a “72-hour death” pursuit order for Letao.com. Now he needs help, so Bi Sheng naturally has no choice but to drink.

He drank the fragments that night, and only remembered that he and Yu Xing and Lei Jun hugged their shoulders and sang “Sailor” together, “He said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing. Don’t be afraid of wiping away the tears, at least we still have dreams…”

“Uh, why am I at home? Where are Yu Xing and Lei Jun?”

Bi Sheng woke up the next day and felt a split headache, so he asked his wife about her condition.

The wife was a little dissatisfied: “They said they flew to Yangcheng, Bisheng, why did you drink and stop eating? I really don’t understand.”

Bi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. That should have been done.

He lay down again, hoping from the bottom of his heart that his good buddies could live for a while.

I originally wanted to bring this guy to do vertical e-commerce together, but who knows what he thought, and chose the biggest opponent. It would be good to survive until now…

Compared to the trip to the capital, the visits between Yangcheng and Pengcheng have been much smoother.

YY company has Lei Jun willing to make a move, and with 360 and Sogou, it has reached a three-month traffic cooperation plan, with the funds counted as 15 million.

UC browser has introduced Lei Junzhong, and there are examples from 360, Sogou, and YY in the front. Similar plans have been reached, but the price is higher, and only two months are counted as 20 million traffic support.

This is quite good.

When Yu Xing arrived at Pengcheng, Pengcheng, the headquarters of Penguin, he was greeted by the enthusiastic head Zou Shenglong, who helped him open the car door downstairs.

“Mr. Yu, I heard that you are looking for traffic to have a penguin. I don’t care about others. I must help you.”

Yu Xing was very surprised. This was the most proactive person he met since he went out.

He held Zou Shenglong’s hand tightly: “Mr. Zou, is it true?”

Zou Shenglong shook up and down, extremely serious: “Mr. Yu, no matter what wins and loses, just do it!”
