Chapter 256 Insider Information
Qin Shaoyan drove out of Su Ran's house and drove slowly on the road.
Just after passing an intersection, I met a traffic policeman checking the card.
Qin Shaoyan took the initiative to get closer, stopped the car, rolled down the window, and asked curiously: "Comrade police, what are you checking for?"
"Checking for violations." One of them hit The traffic policeman Nian glanced at Qin Shaoyan and waved his hand to signal him to drive away quickly.
"Hey, aren't you going to check on me?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.
"You haven't violated the rules. Go quickly and don't be stuck here." The traffic policeman said impatiently, "You are not allowed to park here."
Qin Shaoyan took his driver's license back. I just restarted the car and prepared to go around.
Suddenly a huge roar came from afar, the sound tore through the silent night, startling everyone around.
A few seconds later, a red Lamborghini sports car sped past in the opposite direction, blowing the railing in the middle of the road to pieces.
The traffic policeman's expression changed immediately, he immediately sounded the siren, reported on the walkie-talkie, started the car and followed.
“These racing gangs don’t stop even during the holidays.”
Qin Shaoyan cursed and drove slowly along the roadside.
Less than five minutes after driving, I saw a group of traffic police gathered under the overpass.
There are various debris and debris scattered everywhere on the street, scattered over a large area.
Looking up, the red Lamborghini was unrecognizable. Half of its body was squeezed together and embedded in the bridge pier.
The traffic police were busy around, some were setting up roadblocks, and some were guiding passing vehicles.
With such a commotion, there was a traffic jam on the street where there were originally few vehicles.
......
After complaining to some passing car owners, Qin Shaoyan drove back to the Dongwangzhuang community.
When I opened the door and entered the house, I found that my parents were still awake and were sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Qin Donghai glanced at his son and asked with a sullen face: "Why did you come back?"
"You came back by car."
"Didn't you drink?" Qin Donghai asked seriously.
“I’m not crazy.” Qin Shaoyan said confidently, “I won’t drink at all today.”
"It's okay to drink, just spend the night outside." Qin Donghai said with a gentle expression, "Don't drive after drinking."
Qin Shaoyan was stunned, "Where will I go if I don't go home?"
Xun Xiaohui glanced at him, "Where did you eat tonight? What did you eat? Who did you eat with?"
"With friends." Qin Shaoyan answered honestly.
"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" Xun Xiaohui continued to ask.
Qin Shaoyan hesitated, "Mom, why are you asking this?"
Xun Xiaohui chuckled, "We all know, you went out with a girl tonight."
"Huh? !" Qin Shaoyan was shocked, but then he quickly calmed down and said, "Mom, who are you talking about?"
"What nonsense?" I saw it.”
“Seeing you not coming back so late, I thought about sending you something to eat, but you were not there when I went to the company.”
"Your colleagues all said that you were dating a girl."
"They are talking nonsense." Qin Shaoyan quickly explained, "I had dinner with a woman at night, but she was not my girlfriend, just Investors.”
“Investors?” How can Xun Xiaohui believe it?
“Yes, she works in a bank.” Qin Shao said eloquently, “I always ask her for help when applying for loans and so on. It’s a coincidence that I invited her to dinner today, otherwise she would be quite busy at work. "
Xun Xiaohui looked at Qin Shaoyan with suspicion, "Really from the bank?"
"Don't you still believe in your son?" Qin Shaoyan said aggrievedly.
Qin Donghai interrupted at this time, "Friends from the bank? How much is the mortgage interest now?"
Xun Xiaohui rolled her eyes at Qin Donghai, "We are talking about business here, you ask about the mortgage interest. What are you doing?"
"This is my business." Qin Donghai said seriously, "I'm asking about the interest rate to see if I can buy a house instead of renting a house."
< br>“It’s easier to find a partner if you have a house.”
Xun Xiaohui also felt that this was quite reasonable, and turned to look at Qin Shaoyan, "Can your bank friend help you lower the interest rate?"
Qin Shaoyan was a little dumbfounded, "I have already bought the house, and I bought it with a loan. She did it for me."
"When did you buy it?" Qin Donghai asked quickly, "Why didn't you tell your family?"
"I'm borrowing it from an investor. The price of a house is now one per day. Buy it while it's cheap." Qin Shaoyan said, "It's nearby. I'll take you there to have a look tomorrow."
Qin Donghai and Xun Xiaohui are here. He became energetic and started asking questions one after another.
"How much does it cost per square meter?"
"How big is the house?"
"Which floor is it on?"
"New building or old building?"
Qin Shaoyan I was a bit confused when asked, so I could only touch my belly and say:
"I'm really busy today, and I haven't eaten enough yet. Is there any food left in the evening?"
Xun Xiaohui stood up immediately, "I'll heat up some hot food for you."
......
Early the next morning, Qin Shaoyan was dragged up by his parents. With constant urging, he hurriedly finished his breakfast. The family of three went out and headed straight to the newly bought house.
The house Qin Shaoyan bought is in Dongshengyuan. Although it is a second-hand house, the house was built in 2001.
The previous owner was anxious to go abroad, so he sold the house.
The house is very new and very large, with an area of 150 square meters. The three bedrooms all face south, and the house layout is also very square.
Qin Shaoyan saw that the location and layout of the house were good, so he bought it directly.
Anyway, it is for transitional use. It is a temporary home for my parents to rest assured.
Qin Donghai and Xun Xiaohui were very satisfied with the newly purchased house and started discussing the decoration with great interest.
Seeing his parents happy, Qin Shaoyan was also happy in his heart, and kept coming up with ideas beside them.
While the two of them were in a good mood, Qin Shaoyan encouraged his parents to buy a house in the capital now.
It could be seen that Qin Donghai was quite moved, but Xun Xiaohui was a little murmuring after asking about the house price.
The old couple had business in mind, and they didn't care about knocking Qin Shaoyan, and began to inquire about real estate properties.
Qin Shaoyan also ran around for a day and was as tired as a dead dog.
After officially going to work on the eighth day of the lunar month, Qin Shaoyan finally ushered in liberation and went to work happily.
After Qin Shaoyan arranged jobs for the returning employees in the company, he named a few generals and told them to prepare to go abroad with him.
YouTube’s financing required him to go there, and he had to travel again. ...
Qin Shaoyan is very busy after going to work, and the entire Internet in China is even busier.
All Internet entrepreneurs, large and small, were shocked by this report.
The title is "Three months and two billion - the biggest dark horse in China's Internet". The article briefly introduces a new type of website in the Internet industry - video website.
Then he used an eloquent article to discuss that video websites will become an emerging hot spot on the Internet. Video websites will be a new direction for the development of Internet websites and a new carrier of content.
The article also praised the YouTube website in the United States, introducing in detail the history of YouTube’s establishment and current achievements.
The writer has demonstrated the video website from multiple perspectives including history, technology, culture, economy, domestic and foreign fields, etc., and has come to a conclusion.
Video websites are good, video websites are great!
Of course, at the end of the article, a well-known domestic video website was also mentioned. It has achieved impressive results in less than three months since its establishment.
According to reliable gossip from within a certain video website, an unnamed executive claimed that they are negotiating with foreign video websites.
A well-known foreign video website will offer 2 billion to acquire a certain video website.
This article directly appeared on the headlines of the Economic Information Daily, of course on the second page, but the report quickly caused a sensation.
"Economic Information Daily" is affiliated to Xinhua News Agency and is the earliest national economic newspaper. It specializes in providing authoritative, high-level and high-value decision-making reference for high-end people.
Such high-end and valuable articles were naturally quickly reprinted by other newspapers, and soon attracted the attention of the Internet industry.
After all, the two figures "three months and two billion" are too eye-catching.
Since the rise of the Internet industry, various wealth myths and miracles have been constantly born, inspiring entrepreneurs from all walks of life to pour into this emerging industry one after another.
Create a website, be favored and bet by investors, and then develop rapidly. In a few years, it will be listed on NASDAQ, and then you can easily become rich and free. This is the dream and goal of all entrepreneurs.
And these dreams all have real-life examples, such as Sina, Sohu, NetEase, Alibaba, and Baidu.
But just after the New Year of 2005, another even more incredible wealth myth was born.
Only three months after its establishment, the website was about to be acquired for 2 billion.
You don’t even have that much money to win the lottery!
So people in the Internet industry studied the video website track, and then everyone discovered that this field is a blue ocean!
Only YouTube is the only American video website that stands out, and Yahoo is already willing to pay to acquire it.
Not to mention domestic video websites, currently only Qvod.com is online.
What are you waiting for? This is a gold mine!
So a group of entrepreneurs were gearing up and began to study how to build a video website.
Compared with grassroots entrepreneurs who are new to the market and are not afraid of tigers, successful Internet tycoons are much more cautious. They will first research the market and then consult with industry authorities.
For example, President Ma Hua Teng of Penguin called Qin Shaoyan directly after reading the news report and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Qin, is the two billion true?"
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds. "Mr. Ma, don't spread rumors if you don't believe them."
Ma Huateng was a little surprised, "Are the news reports nonsense?"
"Don't dare to talk nonsense." Qin Shaoyan said quickly, "There are just some deviations in the news reports. You know, journalists love to catch rumors."
"What about the acquisition of Qvod.com?" Ma Huateng continued to ask curiously.
"It was a certain video website that was acquired." Qin Shaoyan emphasized, "The report didn't say it was Qvod."
"I understand." Ma Huateng asked, "Is there one?"
< br>"It is true that a foreign Internet company sent a negotiation team over." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "The preliminary negotiation price is US$240 million."
"Mr. Ma, this is a business secret, you must keep it secret Ah."
"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense everywhere," Ma Huateng promised quickly, and then thought about it, it was no different from what was said in the news reports.
Video websites seem to be making progress. Why don't you start one as a tribute to YouTube?
Not only Penguin, but also Zhang Sohu and Ding Netyi personally called Qin Shaoyan to inquire about the details.
After promising not to disclose the internal trade secrets of their friends to the outside world, they both obtained inside information.
Peng Xiaolin from Lenovo Investment could not sit still anymore. He rushed to the capital in person to find Wang Wei in person and forced him to launch Tudou.com before May.
At the same time, Peng Xiaolin actively contacted everyone and released news to the outside world.
The second video website in China is about to be launched!
Our website will be more high-end, more comprehensive, and a video website more suitable for Chinese domestic users.
After the news was released, many venture capital colleagues quickly attracted inquiries and expressed their interest in getting on the bus.
The cold winter has not passed yet, and the spring of the Internet is coming again.
As a shareholder of a domestic video website, Qin Shaoyan and his team were preparing to board an international flight to the United States.
Just as he was about to board the plane, Qin Shaoyan saw Xiong Xiaoge walking over with someone.
"Mr. Xiong, what are you doing?" Qin Shaoyan looked at Xiong Xiaoge in surprise.
“I’m going home.” Xiong Xiaoge replied matter-of-factly.
He has a house in the United States, and his wife is also a producer in Hollywood. She has a career and a family there, and he said there would be no problem at all returning home.
But what are you doing with your team when you go home?
Qin Shaoyan glanced at Zhou Dao behind Xiong Xiaoge and greeted him warmly, "Mr. Zhou, have a great New Year."
"I haven't seen Mr. Qin for several days, and I miss him a little." Zhou Dao smiled. Hehe said, "It's just after the New Year, and Mr. Qin has to travel thousands of miles on business. It's not easy."
"To each other, aren't you also going to the United States?" Qin Shaoyan asked tentatively.
"I am different. We are team building, it is a paid trip." Zhou Dao said proudly.
“You can’t tell, Mr. Xiong treats you very well.” Qin Shaoyan said with envy, “It makes me want to resign and go work under Mr. Xiong.”
Xiong Xiaoge coughed, "I don't dare to hire an employee like you. Sooner or later I will be pissed off by you."
"Mr. Xiong, you are biased against me." Qin Shaoyan said plausibly, "No. Bring your personal emotions to work.”
Xiong Xiaoge’s face turned dark at that time.
At this time, a middle-aged woman pushed a stroller over and asked curiously: "Who is this?"
Xiong Xiaoge said with a straight face, "He is the one I mentioned to you. Qin Shaoyan.”
"Oh." The middle-aged woman suddenly realized, "So you are Qin Shaoyan. I have always heard my husband mention you recently."
"Hello, my name is Luo Yan."
Looking Luo Yan stretched out her hand, and Qin Shaoyan quickly shook it warmly, "Hello, hello, Ms. Luo Yan."
"I have been a fan of your movies since I was a child."
Luo Yan was very surprised. , "Do you know me?"
"We know each other." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "We watched your movies when we were in elementary school. My favorite is "Female College Dormitory""
Luo Yan suddenly became happy, "I didn't expect to meet me again." Movie fans, what a coincidence.”
“It’s a pity that Sister Luo Yan won’t make a movie anymore. She has to sign it for me later.” Qin Shaoyan became familiar with Luo Yan after just a few words. Business cards were exchanged.
Luo Yan thinks Qin Shaoyan is quite interesting, and he is different from what Xiong Xiaoge said.
