Chapter 345: Greedy
While the copper pot was boiling, a large pair of chopsticks picked up the mutton-shabu-shabu, then rolled it around in the dipping sauce and put it into the mouth. The smell of meat filled the entire mouth.
Li Dongling took a big mouthful of meat, a little sweat broke out on his forehead, and took another big mouthful of wine. The same was true for everyone else on the table. Several large plates of mutton disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Let’s have a drink!”
Guo Jingyun shouted, and everyone picked up their beer or liquor glasses and clinked a glass with each other. After a few glasses of wine, their stomachs felt a little better. Naturally, Begin to get acquainted.
Li Dongling glanced at Rebus and asked Zhang Yufeng on the side, "Mr. Zhang and Manager Lei are old acquaintances?"
Zhang Yufeng put a plate of meat into the copper pot and untied the neck. After taking a look at a few buttons, Lei Jun chatted with Zhou Hongyi, a fellow from northern Hunan, "Fangzheng and Kingsoft have been in contact for a long time. We are big purchasers of Kingsoft software!
His girlfriend, They are employees of our Founder Company.”
Rebus and Zhou Hongyi, enemies who disliked each other in their previous lives, are actually fellow villagers, and their wives are both employees of Founder, but they seem to be born with horoscopes. Incompatible with each other, the two of them seemed to have never liked each other.
At the dinner table, Lei Jun, Zhou Hongyi, Zhu Chongjun, Zhou Zhijun and others who were also programmers quickly talked together, while Guo Jingyun was talking to Yu Minhong.
Li Dongling had just had a few words with Zhang Yufeng. They were having a heated conversation with a few people there, and after a few glasses of wine, plus they were fellow countrymen, Zhou Hongyi's trolling nature started. He actually had no intention of arguing. Just telling the truth, "Pangu Office in Jinshan The software is so bad. Compared with Microsoft, the gap is huge!”
After finishing speaking, Lei Jun’s face suddenly looked a little unhappy, but he didn’t argue with Zhou Hongyi. He just turned his head to the side and smoked a cigarette by himself.
At this time, Lei Jun had not experienced so many ups and downs, nor had he developed the kind of mind he would have when he became successful and famous in later generations.
In addition, Kingsoft is currently at odds with Microsoft. Pangu software was developed by Lei Jun with great effort, but it did fail. Neither the market nor users bought it. Zhou Hongyi obviously poked a hole in the wrong place. .
Seeing this scene, Li Dongling had to sigh, sworn enemies are sworn enemies, and they do not change with time and space. They are sworn enemies after all, and sparks fly after they meet.
"Manager Lei, have a drink!"
At this time, Li Dongling raised a glass of wine and said to Mr. Lei.
It was Li Dongling who spoke. As the person who invited him here today, coupled with Li Dongling’s reputation and status in the world, even if Rebus would not be satisfied with his fellow countryman who poked his lungs, but Still, he raised his glass and had a drink with Li Dongling.
At this time, the atmosphere finally relaxed. After Zhang Yufeng drank a large glass of wine, he looked at Li Dongling with burning eyes, "Mr. Li, the media reported that you invested in Yahoo in Silicon Valley. The company really made 35 million US dollars with two million US dollars!"
Zhang Yufeng's voice was not loud, but it still made Yu Minhong, who didn't pay much attention to the technology industry, couldn't help but look at Li Dongling. go.
Using two million U.S. dollars to earn 35 million U.S. dollars, which is 280 million yuan, New Oriental's revenue began to increase sharply this year, but its annual revenue was less than 20 million U.S. dollars, and its profit was only Less than a few million.
Not only Yu Minhong, but also Lei Jun, Wang Jizhi and others who had seen the news through the media that the Zhixing Foundation invested in Yahoo and made 35 million US dollars, also looked at Li Dongling.
Although the media has just started to report it today and has not stirred up much public opinion, this incident is undoubtedly the biggest news in Zhongguancun today, and it has simply detonated public opinion!
Especially on BBS forums, such as Ma Station, Shuimu Huaqing, Great Wall, Paradise and other BBS forums, almost all of them are discussing the news that came out today. It is really Zhixing Fund’s venture capital investment in Yahoo. It is too imaginative. Lian Lian.
Both Netscape and Yahoo have only been established for a long time. One has just been listed, with a market value of more than 2.6 billion US dollars, and the other has a valuation of more than 500 million US dollars. This sudden wealth effect of the Internet has made people in domestic BBS forums , are somewhat ready to take action. As for those technology companies, such as Founder and others, they are even more stimulated.
The term Internet appeared in Zhongguancun for the first time. The first feeling it brought to everyone in Zhongguancun was huge profits. A return of two hundred times, even if you sell contraband goods, the profits are not that high!
Zhang Yufeng rushed over to see Li Dongling in a hurry. It was also because of this incident that Fangzheng worked hard to go public and raised 320 million Hong Kong dollars. He was also disliked and worried by investment institutions, and he had to find Dongling Hi-Tech to come over. Get through it.
But on Li Dongling’s side, he invested two million US dollars, and in less than a year, he doubled it and got a return of two hundred times from the two million US dollars. This was really exciting. Big.
Lei Jun didn't care about being angry with Zhou Hongyi who was firing randomly, he pricked up his ears and listened in this direction. Jinshan is now in a state where it is possible to run out of food at any time. The entire Jinshan is actually holding back a strong desire to compete with Microsoft. They want to avenge their shame and win another battle with Microsoft in office software. burden.
But the reality is cruel. Although Lei Jun, Qiu Bojun and others all have their eyes fixed on Microsoft, they are being pushed further and further away from Microsoft. Before Microsoft office software can be defeated, Kingsoft itself is almost out of money for research and development. , for funding. Qiu Bojun mortgaged his villa, and wondered what the current situation of Jinshan was like.
As the most profitable company in the technology industry in recent years, although Tanglin Hi-Tech is in the electronics industry, Jinshan has also discussed Tanglin Hi-Tech.
But no matter how we discuss it, it will not be as shocking as today’s Zhixing Foundation’s investment in Yahoo. Compared with the Internet and the software industry, it is really an encounter between heaven and earth.
“Yahoo is invested by the Zhixing Foundation, not Donglin Hi-tech. The Zhixing Foundation is a charitable foundation!”
Li Dongling explained it again before saying, “According to the current situation Yahoo’s valuation, Zhixing Foundation did get these benefits
However, this income will have to wait until Yahoo goes public before there is a chance to cash it out! "
After hearing that Li Dongling confirmed that what the media said was true, Zhang Yufeng's breathing became obviously heavier, and the eyes of Yu Minhong and Lei Jun when they looked at Li Dongling also changed slightly.
Li Dongling seen in the media had completely different feelings from Li Dongling actually appearing in front of them. This was a profit of more than 200 million yuan, but Li Dongling made it back in one go. They now understood why Dongling Hi-Tech was so Huge profit!
After pouring a large glass of liquor and swallowing it in one breath, Zhang Yufeng felt that he had suppressed his restless heart.
“Mr. Li, the Internet company in Silicon Valley. It’s really that profitable...”
"Brother Zhang," Li Dongling interrupted Zhang Yufeng directly, "Silicon Valley is not that easy to get along with. Zhixing Foundation just got lucky this time. If an Internet company over there successfully went public, a few of them might fail. Ten, a hundred, or even more Internet companies.”
Li Dongling said this, but he was not willing to persuade him. It’s hard to persuade the damn ghosts. Founder or other domestic companies have to go there! America killed Wall Street, and there was nothing Li Dongling could do.
The more you stop some people from doing something, the more they will suspect that you are not letting them get rich. Even if it is something like that, they have to catch it and taste it before giving up.
The expression on Zhang Yufeng's face changed for a moment, and then he sighed in vain. The risk of investing in Silicon Valley is too great. If you are cheated there, there is no place to complain. Zhang Yufeng cannot afford that. He had no choice but to give up due to the loss.
But then I thought about it and asked Li Dongling with a smile, "What does Mr. Li think of investing in Internet companies in China?"
Not only Boss Liu and Duan Yongji recognized Li Dongling's investment vision. After the battle with Yahoo, no one dared to question Li Dongling's investment vision.
Li Dongling, who had just eaten a large portion of mutton with chopsticks, looked at Zhang Yufeng who was full of expectations. Li Dongling felt that he was interested in fame and fortune.
“There is an opportunity!”
“However, we also need to keep our eyes open. Not all Internet companies are Netscape and Yahoo. This industry is a newly emerging industry, and no one can I don’t know what will happen!
Even if the domestic Internet can develop, it will probably take a long time,” Li Dongling said.
After hearing this, Zhang Yufeng had already made up his mind, "Come on, Brother Li, I'll offer you a glass of wine!"
While pushing the glasses and passing the cups, after several rounds of drinks, a group of old smokers appeared He lit up the cigarette again, and the atmosphere became extremely warm. Although Zhang Yufeng was a little too concerned about fame and fortune, he was a salesman and was quite good at socializing. He could also let go of his airs and quickly became brothers with a group of people. With him There will be no silence at all.
