Chapter 122 Giving Gifts to Colleagues
Yang Botao did things cleanly and quickly helped Li Wanzhou contact Peng Xiaolin, the vice president of Lenovo Investment.
Relying on his connections and face, as well as Li Wanzhou’s reputation as a Silicon Valley returnee, he easily obtained an investment of 10 million RMB.
It is so realistic to attract investment in entrepreneurship. As long as you have connections, you can get funds just by relying on face and words even if you have nothing.
Without connections and connections, it is difficult to get money even if you have real skills and skills.
You won’t be looked at seriously even if you beg your grandpa to sue your grandma or grovel to beg investors.
Things that seem so difficult to you may just be a matter of words from others.
The reality is so unreasonable, drought will kill you, and waterlogging will kill you.
Li Wanzhou was very excited after receiving the investment letter of intent. He did not expect that it would be so easy to start a business and attract investment.
For a time, he was full of confidence in his future business path.
Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done before starting a formal business.
For example, renting an office, recruiting an entrepreneurial team, registering a company, and filing a website are a series of preparatory tasks.
These tasks are tedious but not difficult. The only thing that makes Li Wanzhou troublesome is how to choose a name.
Campus Network entered the game early and grabbed this name first. Li Wanzhou thought of choosing a similar website name and gave it a try first.
Then Li Wanzhou realized that his thinking was too simple.
The school network, alumni network, and alumni directory have all been taken over, as well as the student network and fellow school network.
Li Wanzhou tried both the window net and the window net, but was still registered.
Finally, I had no choice but to choose the name of Tongxin.com and completed the registration.
But the name looked so awkward, which made Li Wanzhou feel very unhappy.
Unfortunately, other names are not up for grabs, so I have to make do with it for the time being.
Tongxin.com was officially established, and Yang Botao, who was far away in Shanghai, even sent a flower basket to congratulate the company on its opening.
In addition to people from Lenovo Investment, Li Wanzhou’s classmates and friends also came to support him.
Li Wanzhou was very excited watching the lively scene.
It was really noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, red flags waving, and huge crowds of people.
The brothers of Tongxin.com are ambitious and eager to compete with the campus network on the spot.
In order to show his presence, Li Wanzhou also specially sent an invitation to the campus network, inviting this colleague to attend the opening ceremony.
Unfortunately, after the invitations were sent out, they disappeared. There was no response from the campus network, and no one was sent to attend the ceremony.
“The local colleagues are so rude!” Li Wanzhou expressed some dissatisfaction, “I will visit you personally later.”
…
“Tongxin.com?! "Qin Shaoyan picked up the invitation and took a look at it, a little surprised, "Is this a marriage agency? Why did you send us an invitation?"
Zhang Pingyi opened the invitation, pointed to the small words on it and said: "Tongxin.com is not a marriage and love agency, they are our peers."
Qin Shaoyan took a closer look, and it read "Campus real-name high-end social networking site - -Tongxin.com".
"Hey, I'm actually a colleague. Why do you call me such a bad name? I thought he was engaged in a marriage agency." Qin Shaoyan turned over the invitation, "Now this colleague is really polite. He didn't forget to give it to me when he opened the business. Send an invitation."
"Well, they don't want me to follow them, do they?" Qin Shaoyan fell into thought.
"What a follower." Zhang Pingyi said angrily: "This is a letter of challenge. This is a provocation to you."
"Don't think so bad of people." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "My colleagues have sent invitations, so it would be inappropriate for us not to go. How about you change into a formal suit and go visit with me."
< br>Zhang Minyi was very surprised and asked: "What are you going to do?"
"I have to go and express my gratitude to my colleagues for opening a business, and I should give a gift." Qin Shaoyan stood up and looked for his suit, "Don't After a while, people got off work."
Zhang Pingyi watched Qin Shaoyan put on a high-end suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
When Qin Shaoyan rushed to Tongxin.com, the flower basket at the door had been taken away, and the red carpet on the ground had not had time to be removed.
Qin Shaoyan stepped on the debris on the ground and walked in, showing a standard smile to the beautiful front desk, "Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Li Wanzhou."
The front desk was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "What can I do for you?" "I specialize in website domain name agency. My surname is Qin." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "You can call Mr. Li Wanzhou directly and tell him that we have many suitable domain names on hand. ”
The front desk called Li Wanzhou’s office suspiciously, and soon Li Wanzhou walked out of it.
"Mr. Qin, please come in quickly." Li Wanzhou enthusiastically welcomed Qin Shaoyan and Zhang Minyi into the office, and said with a smile, "I just opened my business today, and you guys came to my door. I have enough news. Well-informed.”
Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "We also need to keep abreast of industry trends. This is the only way to facilitate business."
Li Wanzhou nodded, "The efficiency of doing Internet work is fast."
" You are a domain name agency, right? What domain names do you have?"
Qin Shaoyan took out a thick catalog from his briefcase, opened it carefully and put it on the table, "Your company is a campus business? Social, I have selected some for you, you can see if they are suitable."
Li Wanzhou took the catalog curiously, glanced at it a few times, and his eyes widened.
The directory not only includes campus network, alumni network, and classmate network, but also names such as window network, seize class network, and happy network.
Li Wanzhou couldn't help but glance at Qin Shaoyan, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. It turned out that you had registered the names and domain names of so many good websites, which made me choose a nondescript name.
However, Li Wanzhou was jealous. He also knew that those who engage in this kind of business must not only have connections, but also have a keen business sense.
It is useless to just grab a lot of domain names, there must be a market, otherwise it will be like losing your hands.
"How much does your school network cost?" Li Wanzhou pointed his finger and asked tentatively.
"Website name plus domain name, complete legal transfer procedures, 15 million." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.
Holy shit, why don’t you grab it?
Li Wanzhou's face darkened and he pointed to the classmates website, "Where is this?"
"This is 12 million."
"Where is the classmates website?"
"This is cheap, just four million."
Li Wanzhou smacked his lips, "The price you are asking is too outrageous. A website name plus domain name is just a few million."
" Is it expensive?" Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "What I sell is not only the website name and domain name, but also the brand."
"A good website name and domain name are not only catchy, but also easy to pronounce. Memory can also show the positioning of the website. ”
“For example, campus network and classmate network, everyone will know what the website is about”
"The campus network is valued at more than one billion, and the name alone is worth one to two hundred million."
"Look at your Tongxin network. It sounds like it has nothing to do with a campus website, but a marriage agency. It’s the same, it’s too inconsistent with the positioning of the website.”
Li Wanzhou thought about it and felt that it was true, but he had limited funds, otherwise he would have bought good names such as the school network and the classmates network.
Seeing that Li Wanzhou was silent, Qin Shaoyan asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, please tell me an approximate budget, and I will recommend one to you."
"Less than two million. ." Li Wanzhou pondered for a few seconds, "But it must be related to the campus."
"How about the classmate network? No one asked about it for ten years, but once you become famous, it will be known all over the world." Qin Shaoyan asked enthusiastically, "Only two and a half million."
"Two and a half million? !" Li Wanzhou frowned, "This number doesn't sound good."
"Then I'll step back and give you a discount." Qin Shaoyan said generously, "How about two million, four hundred and ninety-eight thousand?" "
"..." Li Wanzhou thought for a while and finally made up his mind, "Deal!"
Qin Shaoyan stood up with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Li, for winning the classmate's domain name."< br>
Although Li Wanzhou felt a little distressed about such a large sum of money, buying a good name was more important, as it was equivalent to advertising.
It’s money well spent!
"Mr. Qin, please leave me a business card." Li Wanzhou thought for a while and said, "Maybe we will cooperate in the future."
"No problem." Qin Shaoyan took it out of his arms with a smile. He took out a business card and handed it over, "Call me anytime if you need anything."
Li Wanzhou took the business card, looked at it, frowned and said: "I...must...sign?"
>
"Yes, Laborden Technology Co., Ltd." Qin Shaoyan explained with a smile, "Our company culture is that only by hard work can one reach the top, so it is called Laborden."
Li Wanzhou clicked. I smacked my lips, thinking this name was so strange.
