Chapter 168: Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf
The establishment of Tianya.com and the acquisition of Pinyin input method were not promoted by Dongling Hi-tech with any fanfare. Now, Dongling Hi-tech can be said to be a focus company in the domestic technology industry. You know how many people are watching.
If there is a clamor all over the world that Tanglin Hi-tech will enter the Internet industry, then maybe a group of companies will follow immediately. They don't care what the Internet is and only focus on Tanglin Hi-tech.
From mice to electronic pet machines to digital cordless phones, there are many companies doing it. Although they don’t make as much money as Dongling Hi-Tech, they still make money. Even now, many big companies are doing it. According to Dongling Hi-tech's copy operation, Dongling Hi-tech is like a weathervane in the domestic technology industry!
The construction of Tianya.com has not yet been completed, and the pinyin input method has not been improved. If you start shouting at this time, I am afraid that a bunch of imitators will appear, and Li Dongling's plan for Dongling Hi-Tech will also be disrupted. .
Tianya.com in Yanjing continues to recruit people. Many programmers in the software industry have received invitations from Tianya.com. Guo Jingyun, the manager of the Internet Division of Dongling Hi-Tech who has just taken office, is also the first general manager of Tianya.com. , is constantly traveling between Yanjing and Hanxi.
......
"Welcome to America!"
When Wu Xinyi and Lu Wenhua took the flight and arrived in New York, there were already people waiting there.
“I’m Zhou Hualiang. The headquarters has already called me. I will be responsible for the two of you’s trip in America. If you have any requests, just ask me. If you can, I will definitely do it. Help! ”
Zhou Hualiang, who had been transformed from the head of the Tanglin Hi-Tech America office to the general manager of Tanglin Hi-Tech America and North America, stretched out his hand to Wu Xinyi and Wu Xinyi with a smile on his face.
Siemens digital cordless phone was defeated in America. It was not just a war, it also changed the fate of countless people.
For example, Thomas, the head of Siemens Digital Cordless Phone America, was kicked out directly, while Zhou Hualiang, the head of Shenzhou in America, suddenly transformed and became a "well-known" manager of America!
The plan to join forces with Atlantic Bell and other telecom operators to charge phone bills and give away the phone was proposed by Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech Headquarters, but it was Zhou Hualiang who implemented the plan. This was enough, and he became a leader in one fell swoop. The hero who defeated Siemens and became one of America's senior professional managers.
Zhou Hualiang is now a guest of many telecom operators in America. Many telecom operators want to cooperate with Shenzhou, Coolpad and Simon!
At the headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech, Zhou Hualiang is also highly regarded. He has now become the person in charge of Donglin Hi-Tech in North America and is in charge of the sales of many products such as Silver Sable Mouse and Shenzhou Phone in North America.
“I have already made an appointment with Mesipu and Yahoo. I will send someone to drive you two there tomorrow!”
In an extended Lincoln car, Zhou Hualiang walked towards Wu Xinyi , Lu Wenhua said, Wu Xinyi also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. This is the advantage of having someone to receive him. Everything has been arranged and they don't need to run around anymore.
The high-rise buildings lining the streets of New York kept flashing by outside the car window. It was the first time for the two of them to come to New York, so they were quite curious about this place.
He patted the leather seat under him and looked at Zhou Hualiang, who was in a suit and leather shoes. He saw in the media that Shenzhou and Coolpad machines were selling very well in America, but he didn’t know the specific situation. Wu Xinyi curiously asked Zhou Hualiang, "How is the sales volume of Shenzhou Phone in America now?"
"Very good!"
When mentioning this, Zhou Hualiang had a smile on his face, "Now the sales volume has dropped a bit compared to the peak period, but it is still maintaining sales of more than 500,000 units in a single day!
We are moving forward to cooperate with more retail channels, especially Coolpad and Shenzhou, which promote mid-to-high-end brands!”
When the car passed by the Empire State Building in New York, Lu Wenhua couldn’t help but see the billboard. Surprised, "That's Jianlibao?!"
Wu Xinyi looked over after hearing this, and indeed saw the Jianlibao brand. Jianlibao had actually arrived in America, and they had never heard of it before.
"It is indeed Jianlibao. This beverage company is very courageous. Four years ago, the head of Jianlibao bought the 26th floor of the Empire State Building as Jianlibao's office building in America.
The New York Times and Aramco More than a hundred televisions, radios, and newspapers in America have reported the news about Oriental Magic Water. Jianlibao’s advertising in America in recent years has exceeded tens of millions of dollars, but..."
The Empire State Building The figure disappeared from the car window. Zhou Hualiang spread his hands and said, "Americans only recognize drinks from Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola!"
When Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola were killing everyone in the mainland, Jianlibao dared to launch a counterattack Their home base is indeed bold enough, but spending tens of millions of dollars has not had much effect. After hearing this, Wu Xinyi and Lu Wenhua increasingly felt that it was not easy for Dongling Hi-Tech overseas.
Comparing the experience of Jianlibao overseas, you can understand the situation of Dongling Hi-tech Demon overseas. Surrounded by a group of powerful enemies, Dongling Hi-Tech fought bloody battles alone, paving the way for those who came after...< br>
Instead of enjoying the bustling scene in New York, Wu Xinyi and Lu Wenhua went out separately early the next morning. Wu Xinyi was going to Mesip, while Lu Wenhua was going to Silicon Valley.
Lu Wenhua’s schedule is much busier than that of Wu Xinyi. Not only Yahoo, he also has to inspect several companies this time.
“This is Yahoo?!”
After arriving in St. Clark, California, after some inquiries, Lu Wenhua found the location of Yahoo. The office was very small, with only a few employees inside. Seeing this scene, Lu Wenhua felt even more unsure. For a place like this, he wanted to spend three hundred thousand dollars? !
In China, 300,000 US dollars can buy a building, but this is Li Dongling's request, and Lu Wenhua can only bite the bullet and go in. After entering, Lu Wenhua saw that the people inside were all very young and, most importantly, full of energy. Although they were very busy, they all had smiles on their faces and seemed to recognize the work they were doing.
“Are you looking for Jerry?”
Seeing Lu Wenhua’s Asian face, the man who was typing on the keyboard on a computer looked up. After seeing Lu Wenhua, he naturally thought that he was The person who came to find Yang Zhiyuan was, after all, Yang Zhiyuan was the only Chinese at Yahoo now.
Then the man shouted towards a small office with an open door at the back, "Boss, someone is looking for you!"
After the words fell, a man with glasses and a somewhat unkempt appearance said, He walked out of the office and looked at Lu Wenhua doubtfully.
"I am Lu Wenhua from Zhixing Foundation!"
Taking Lu Wenhua's business card and looking at it, Yang Zhiyuan couldn't help but said in surprise, "Are you from the mainland?"
"Yes!"
After Yang Zhiyuan introduced Lu Wenhua into the office, he looked at the business card and said to Lu Wenhua in Mandarin, "I wonder what Manager Lu wants to do when he comes here this time?!"
"We Zhixing Foundation, our partner in America, recommended Yahoo to us. They believe that Yahoo is a company with great potential! ”
Hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan became even more surprised, "You want to invest in Yahoo?!"
It is true that there is an Internet craze in Silicon Valley now, but Netscape has not yet gone public, and this craze has not yet arrived. In such a turbulent situation, everyone, including Netscape, was still looking for investors. The sudden visit of the Zhixing Foundation was somewhat beyond Yang Zhiyuan's expectations.
When someone came to invest, Yang Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile on his face, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then said helplessly, "It's a pity that you guys are a step too late!"
< br>"What?!" This time it was Lu Wenhua's turn to be surprised.
Yang Zhiyuan also did not hide Lu Wenhua. This matter will soon be spread in Silicon Valley. It will definitely be a sensational event in Silicon Valley. "Yahoo is negotiating with Sequoia Investment, and Sequoia Investment will angelize Yahoo." Round investment! ”
It is not difficult to choose between Sequoia Capital and Zhixing Foundation. Sequoia Ventures has invested in many well-known companies such as Apple and Cisco. Venture capital invests not only dollars, but also connections, resources, Reputation, etc. Sequoia Investment is much more famous in America than Zhixing Foundation.
Lu Wenhua was a little shocked. He didn't expect that besides him, there would be people rushing to send money to Yahoo.
People are a very strange creature. It's like buying a piece of rags. When you are the only one buying it, you feel like you have been taken advantage of. But if there are others buying it, they are fighting for it. If you buy it, you will feel that the rags in your hands are also valuable things!
Of course Lv Wenhua, a financial professional, has heard of Sequoia Investment’s famous name. When he heard that Sequoia Investment was also going to invest in Yahoo, he immediately felt that Li Dongling really has a discerning eye, and he felt the same about Yahoo. Maybe it's really valuable.
Compared with Sequoia Investment, Zhixing Foundation has no advantages, or on the surface, no advantages at all.
At this time, Yang Zhiyuan had already begun to prepare to see off customers. Yahoo had just been established for more than a month, which was the busiest time. It was also a critical moment for Sequoia Investment. He had to continuously improve the Yahoo website.
“I think that when Yahoo accepts investment from Sequoia, it should not reject the Zhixing Foundation!”
Lu Wenhua said to Yang Zhiyuan, preparing for the conditions Li Dongling prepared for Yahoo in the future. Speak up.
“Perhaps Yahoo should listen to our conditions first!”
Yang Zhiyuan was really attracted by Lu Wenhua for a moment, “The founder of the Zhixing Foundation is also the founder of Shenzhou Phone The founder of the parent company Dongling Hi-Tech, Mr. Li Dongling! ”
"Shenzhou?!"
"Li Dongling, I have heard his name before. His duel with Microsoft was very exciting. He was the first man to bow to Microsoft in so many years in the technology industry!"
When mentioning Dongling Hi-Tech and Li Dongling, Yang Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up. Li Dongling's name is still quite famous in America. At least people in America's technology circles immediately thought of those who asked Microsoft to bow its head and lose the lawsuit. Think of Tanglin Hi-Tech.
