Chapter 274 Difficulties in starting a business
Qin Shaoyan looked at Peng Xiaolin leaving with curiosity, and casually asked: "What is Mr. Peng from Lenovo Investment doing here?"
"He said his hand There is a video website on the Internet that wants to sell it to me," Davis said with a hint of ridicule, "Everyone wants to make money from Microsoft, right?"
"It seems like he wants to. Practice more." Qin Shaoyan didn't feel embarrassed at all when he heard this. It's my ability to make money. If you have the ability, don't ask me to cooperate.
Davis looked at the person Qin Shaoyan brought and asked, "Who is this?"
Qin Shaoyan happily pulled Chen Guangxia who was hiding behind him, "This is Mr. Chen Guangxia. He is an alumnus of Zhang Pingyi, Vice President of Campus Network. He previously served as CTO of Campus Network and CEO of Qvod.com."
"Now he is a freelancer and is planning to build a video website."
Davis was stunned when he heard Qin Shaoyan's introduction, "The CEO of Qvod.com?"
"Yes. "Qin Shaoyan nodded, "I have written about it in the information Qibo.com gave you before."
Davis was very surprised, "Then why didn't you see him during the previous negotiations?"
"Due to some personal reasons, he was absent from the acquisition negotiations, right." Qin Shaoyan looked at Chen Guangxia.
Chen Guangxia was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately after hearing what the translator said, "Yes, uh, because I have some health problems, it is not convenient for me to participate in major business negotiations."
"Again In addition, I am a technician and am not very good at business negotiations. At the same time, the server of Qvod.com needs me to maintain it."
Davis looked Chen Guangxia up and down and asked, "Are you a technician? Did you establish the Qvod Network? "
Chen Guangxia hesitated and looked at Qin Shaoyan, who encouraged with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Chen, just say that Mr. Davis needs to have a comprehensive understanding. situation.”
"Don't be afraid of saying something wrong, we will support you."
"Uh, yes." Chen Guangxia was heartbroken and said directly, "I participated in the design and establishment of the Qvod.com website throughout the entire process. The underlying server architecture I did it too.”
“My usual job is to be responsible for website technical development guidance, company management and other matters.”
Davis was very surprised when he heard Chen Guangxia’s words. From Chen Guangxia's resume, we can infer that the person in front of him is one of Qin Shaoyan's core executives.
To be able to hold such an important position as CEO of Qvod.com, Chen Guangxia must be trusted by Qin Shaoyan.
Chen Guangxia participated in the early development and maintenance of the campus network, has been serving as CTO, and was deeply involved in the creation of Qvod.com. He is a program developer with very good technical skills.
Why did such an important core executive leave Qvod.com?
Qin Shaoyan picked up a cup of coffee from the table at this time, handed it to Chen Guangxia, and said in a low voice: "I will talk about it later, and you can fill in the details."
Chen Guangxia answered nervously. After drinking coffee, he said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Qin."
"Relax." Qin Shaoyan encouraged, "If everything goes well, we can finalize it today."
"Senior Brother Chen, we all started out in entrepreneurship, so stay alert and don't lose your position."
Chen Guangxia immediately sat up straight, his hand holding the coffee steadier.
Davis thought about it for a moment, and suddenly thought of Plan B that Qin Shaoyan told him.
Rebuild a video website and then let YouTube acquire it.
He saw that Chen Guangxia, the former CEO of Qvod.com, suddenly resigned to start a business, which happened to be a video website.
All this seems a little too coincidental, as if it were designed.
Obviously it was Qin Shaoyan who was instigating it behind the scenes. If Qvod.com could not be acquired by YouTube, Qin Shaoyan would not be able to cash out quickly, which would harm his interests.
So he asked his confidant executive to resign and start over again, starting a new Qvod Network.
Davis figured out the connection instantly, so he asked: "Mr. Chen, you have resigned, will there be any competition restrictions?"
Chen Guangxia, after all, He is the CEO of Kuaibo.com and a technician involved in creating the website. He has mastered a lot of confidential information and codes of Kuaibo.com, so there will definitely be a non-competition agreement.
"The company has lifted the restrictions on the non-competition agreement." Chen Guangxia showed a relaxed expression.
Davis looked at Qin Shaoyan drinking coffee calmly and thought that it was indeed the case.
"What about your team?" Davis asked, "How many people are there? How capable are these people?"
Chen Guangxia hesitated, he has a crappy team. .
He only recently decided to resign and start a business, and he hasn’t figured out how to build a team yet.
Mr. Qin directly pulled him over to look for investment. Not to mention the team, there was not a single line of website code and not a single word in the PPT.
Qin Shaoyan interrupted at this time and said: "It doesn't matter, Brother Chen, feel free to say it."
"You can just take whoever you need with you, and I will provide convenience for the company."< br>
Chen Guangxia almost burst into tears when he heard this. Mr. Qin is a very capable person. He will really help you if you have any problems.
He thought for a while and said: "There are four to five people, all technical staff who have participated in the development of video websites, and there is no problem with their professional ability."
Davis instantly understood that Chen Guangxia’s entrepreneurial team came directly from Qvod.com, and might be the original team when Qvod.com was founded.
This new video website is exactly a copy of Qvod.com.
Davis asked a few more detailed questions, such as website development time, technical bottlenecks, and whether there are any legal risks.
Chen Guangxia answered them one by one. As long as Mr. Qin doesn't pursue them, other questions will not be a problem.
The code must not be copied directly, but it will not take long to re-develop it. He has already done it once, and there is no technical difficulty.
It only took three months for a new video website to appear.
Davis thought for a while and asked another key question, "What about the "Information Network Audiovisual Program License"?"
Chen Guangxia was stunned, he did not expect David Si can ask such outrageous questions.
Can you handle that thing yourself?
Do you, a foreigner, have any misunderstandings about me? If I can master that thing, why would I start a business?
Qin Shaoyan said calmly: "We must first have a company before we can talk about the license."
Davis looked at Qin Shaoyan and asked tentatively: "Is it okay?"
“If there is a first one, there will be a second one.” Qin Shaoyan said confidently, “Within three years, Chen Guangxia will give you a satisfactory answer, right, Brother Chen.”
"Huh?!" Chen Guangxia was a little confused, what? Within three years?
He looked at Qin Shaoyan, and then nodded mysteriously.
In order to attract investment, it doesn't matter if you agree first. Anyway, you only have three years.
Chen Guangxia has been following Qin Shaoyan for so long and has learned something, that is, he must learn to kidnap investors.
You spent all your money anyway, so what can you do if I can’t achieve my goal?
"OK." Davis showed a satisfied look. Qin Shaoyan even spoke. It seemed that the license issue was easily solved.
Then the last step came. Davis asked directly: "How much do you want?"
Chen Guangxia trembled all over. Although he had been energetic just now, now that it was time to ask for money, he felt a little weak.
He hesitated for a moment, clasped his index finger with his thumb tremblingly, and prepared to lift it up.
Qin Shaoyan coughed next to him and reminded: "Senior Brother Chen, be careful, think carefully before speaking, and be lenient to the enemy."
Chen Guangxia gritted his teeth when he heard this. , his heart skipped a beat, he stretched out his palm and said: "Five million."
"U.S. dollars." Qin Shaoyan added.
Chen Guangxia's body trembled and he almost couldn't sit still. He was shocked. Mr. Qin was still ruthless.
He gritted his teeth and shouted as hard as he could before he dared to shout five million RMB. When Mr. Qin arrived, it was doubled eight times.
Davis said without hesitation: "No problem."
Chen Guangxia only felt a huge joy welling up in his heart, with an unreal dreamlike feeling.
Is it so easy to attract investment? Success in just a few words?
Davis then said: "But I have a condition, we want 30% of the shares."
"No problem." Chen Guangxia agreed.
“We still need to sign some gambling agreements.” Davis asked, “Can you agree?”
Chen Guangxia hesitated, gambling agreement?
He remembered that Qin Shaoyan didn't seem to have signed anything like this, but he often made bets with venture capital people.
Chen Guangxia didn't understand the gambling agreement, but he would definitely not miss the good opportunity to invest in Microsoft, so he gritted his teeth and nodded and said, "Okay!"
Davis He stretched out his hand to Qin Shaoyan, "Then I wish you a happy cooperation."
Qin Shaoyan stretched out his hand, shook his hand with a smile, and said meaningfully: "I wish you a happy cooperation."
>Davis was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to shake Chen Guangxia's hand, "I hope to see your results as soon as possible."
Chen Guangxia quickly said: "I will start working when I get back today."
Davis was very satisfied with Chen Guangxia's attitude. Of course, he might not care much. He added, "We will send a financial staff Join with the management.”
This is as it should be. After all, this is a very important project in Davis’ hands, and it is related to the value of YouTube, so we must be cautious.
Chen Guangxia did not refuse and readily agreed.
The two sides had a good conversation. Davis took out his collection of champagne and poured a glass each for Qin Shaoyan and Chen Guangxia.
Qin Shaoyan refused because he was not feeling well and was still taking medicine.
Chen Guangxia drank it all in excitement, and his face instantly turned red under the stimulation of alcohol.
After leaving Davis' room, Chen Guangxia followed Qin Shaoyan into the lobby and suddenly stopped him.
"Mr. Qin."
Qin Shaoyan turned to look at him and asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?"
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Chen Guangxia bowed to him solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Qin. I'm sorry for you."
"Oh, why are you doing this?" Qin Shaoyan helped Chen Guangxia up. , patted him on the shoulder, "Let's get acquainted, and anything else is out of context."
"Come on, work hard, now is a good time to be in the spotlight, try to make a name for yourself, Seize the opportunity and you will have wealth and freedom."
"The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and the rivers and lakes are long. Goodbye."
Qin Shaoyan turned around with a smile and looked at Qin Shaoyan's back with mixed feelings.
Thinking back on what happened today, he was almost in tears. He was reluctant to give up the options and benefits of Campus Network and Qvod Network before, but now his heart is full of pride.
It seems that I may not be able to become a big boss on the Internet.
......
Qin Shaoyan returned to the company in silence all the way. He didn't even respond to the employees he met on the way and walked directly into his office.
After a while, Zhang Pingyi walked in and looked at Qin Shaoyan sitting in a chair in a daze, so he asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
"Huh?" Qin Shaoyan came back to his senses and said calmly, "I'm fine, I'm thinking about something else."
Zhang Pingyi pulled up a chair and sat down, "Are you thinking about Senior Brother Chen?" ?"
Qin Shaoyan did not deny it, but looked at Zhang Pingyi and asked seriously: "If you don't want to stay in the company, will you go out and start your own business?"
Zhang Pingyi was shocked? , shook his head and said: "Definitely not."
Qin Shaoyan let out a sigh of relief, "If such a day comes, I will also advise you when I say goodbye, never start a business."
Zhang Pingyi was a little confused, "What's wrong with you?"
"Capital eats people without spitting out their bones." Qin Shaoyan said with emotion, "I'm thinking that Brother Chen's entrepreneurial story must be exciting."
Zhang Pingyi was a bit dumbfounded, "I can't understand you. Originally, you should be very angry when Chen Guangxia left, but I think you seem quite happy."
"Say you are happy. You feel a little sad again."
"Oh, I am still a little cruel." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is not enough to be cruel."
"I am reflecting on myself."
Zhang Pingyi felt something was wrong no matter how much he thought about it. He was shocked, "What do you mean by this?"
Qin Shaoyan said lightly. : "I'm worried that Senior Brother Chen is cooperating with Microsoft and seeking skin from a tiger."
"Alas." Zhang Pingyi sighed, "You have chosen your own path, so it's a bit unnecessary for you to worry about it."
“But I dug the hole.” Qin Shaoyan also sighed.
...
Chen Guangxia was feeling quite proud at this time. The investment letter of intent had been signed and the company's business license had been obtained.
He has contacted several juniors and has completed the resignation procedures, and can join the team at any time.
You will be less than 30 years old. You will have a car, a house and a company, and your future will be bright.
Chen Guangxia gathered the team together and cooked a luxurious meal first.
In order to boost morale, Chen Guangxia took out the investment letter of intent signed by Microsoft and passed it to each team member one by one.
The team members began to praise Chen Guangxia with an envious tone, which made Chen Guangxia feel a little elated.
Seeing that the atmosphere was up, Chen Guangxia began to draw a cake, well, it should be called a promise.
"There will be houses, there will be cars, there will be options and stocks!" Chen Guangxia raised his arms and shouted, "Let's have a drink and start work tomorrow!"
"Start work ! ”
The next day, Chen Guangxia, who was still hungover, came to the newly rented office building and looked at the brand new computer with great ambition.
From now on, I will use computer code to create a big world!
Turn on the computer, Chen Guangxia wrote the first line of code, and this is where his Internet foundation will begin.
While the team members were developing the website with great enthusiasm, Davis rushed over with his people.
Chen Guangxia quickly stood up and greeted you warmly, "Mr. Davis Hansen welcomes you. My team has already started working."
Davis looked at the office atmosphere on site and felt very satisfied, and then said: "I have brought you new team members."
"This is Rudy Youmans, from Microsoft headquarters The executive director sent here.”
“This is Jason Liu, the product director from Wanwan.”
“This is Luna Zheng, from Hong Kong Island. "Senior Art Director"
"This is XXX, the creative director from Wanwan..."
"This is the director of the planning department from Wanwan..."
Chen Guangxia was confused at this time. He could not remember the names or titles of these people.
Just remember that they are directors one after another.
I don’t even have a website yet, why do I need so many directors? !
