Chapter 339: Eating alone?
Zheng Nan from Sequoia called Xiong Xiaoge enthusiastically. As soon as he got through, he asked: "Mr. Xiong, have you heard about it?"
"What?" Xiong Xiaoge was stunned. After a moment, he asked, "What did you hear?"
"Many venture capital institutions are approaching video websites recently." Zheng Nan could hardly suppress the joy in his heart, "Video websites are becoming more popular now, I guess. The value is doubling.”
“The website’s valuation last month was only 10 million US dollars, and this month’s valuation has exceeded 30 million US dollars.”
< br>
"Several VCs I know have invested money in it, and they are all like crazy."
Xiong Xiaoge remained silent on the other end of the phone and did not speak.
Zheng Nan still talked nonstop: "The concept of video websites is too hot now. The valuation changes every day. The money invested today will increase by 10% tomorrow. It is even more outrageous than loan sharks."< br>
“Big video websites like Tudou and Youku are surrounded by more than a dozen companies and are spending money. Websites like Liujianfang and 56.com have all been launched. They also watch ordinary VC institutions. Not anymore.”
“Tsk, the last time I saw this was before the Internet bubble.”
"I said Mr. Xiong, have you invested in two video websites?"
Xiong Xiaoge suddenly asked: "How much has the valuation of Qvod.com increased to now?"
Zheng Nan After hesitating for a moment, he said with some uncertainty: "It's hard to say. Now that the video website market has risen so sharply, the valuation of Qvod.com has to take off even more."
"I guess, there is no six or seven "One hundred million won't come."
Xiong Xiaoge snorted, "Six to seven hundred million? If Qin Shaoyan doesn't say nine hundred million, he will change his mind and start a new life."
"Brother Xiong still understands Mr. Qin." Zheng Nan sighed with emotion. If Qin Shaoyan didn't take advantage of this moment to speak loudly, he would not be Qin Shaoyan.
"Hey, something is wrong." Zheng Nan suddenly came back to his senses, "Now that the video website is so popular, why is Qin Shaoyan so quiet? Where is he now?"
"Then you Guess how the video website became so popular?" Xiong Xiaoge asked.
Zheng Nan immediately thought of something, "You mean, this wave was led by Qin Shaoyan? No way? Now that the commotion is so big, he can't play alone, right?"
"Whether he can bring out the rhythm, I only know that he is a shareholder of YouTube." Xiong Xiaoge sneered, "The CEO of Yiku.com was his original right-hand man, and this matter has nothing to do with him."
Zheng Nan was dissatisfied and didn't care, "Mr. Xiong, the market has risen so sharply. The value of the shares in our hands has at least doubled. We have already made money, so why bother about it."
Xiong Xiaoge He asked back, "Then will you still vote in the next round?"
"Well, I will definitely vote." Zheng Nan asked tentatively: "Brother Xiong, what about you? Are you planning to resell? Or should we continue pursuing the investment?"
"I'll talk to Qin Shaoyan first," Xiong Xiaoge warned, "Don't agree to any of Qin Shaoyan's conditions before I give you accurate information."
< br>"Don't worry, we are definitely on the same front." Zheng Nan promised, patting his chest, "I definitely can't accept the instigation of discord by that guy Qin Shaoyan."
After Xiong Xiaoge hung up the phone, he tried to call Qin Shaoyan's mobile phone again. This time, unlike the past, the call was miraculously connected.
“Hey, Mr. Xiong, it’s midnight here.” Qin Shaoyan complained a little tiredly, “I’m going to rest.”
“You’re still young, sir. It doesn't matter if you get some sleep." Xiong Xiaoge said unceremoniously, "Are you still in the United States?"
"Yes, I will stay here for at least a month." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "You know. I am currently working on a particularly big project, which is the international college student summer camp.”
“This is an international project carried out by Campus Network and Facebook. We want to create a brand with international influence. The valuation of the campus network has been greatly improved.”
"This project is too important, so I have to keep an eye on it."
Xiong Xiaoge didn't care about summer camps for college students. He asked directly: "Why didn't you answer my call before?"
"Hey, Mr. Xiong, have you contacted me?" Qin Shaoyan was very surprised, "I didn't receive it. My phone was broken before, so I had someone take it to repair it." "It's all my secretary Xiao Chen's fault, he's too busy at work. You're sloppy, I'll criticize her later."
"Okay, you can keep these words to fool others." Xiong Xiaoge snorted, "You can keep quiet, I will. I know you are holding it back.”
"I never expected that your attack would come from the United States."
"You start your domestic articles from abroad."
Qin Shaoyan chuckled, "Mr. Xiong, what you said doesn't sound right. We are in the same boat. I am the boss of Qvod.com and you are also a shareholder of Qvod."
"The valuation of Qvod.com is fierce. Isn’t it good news for IDG?”
Xiong Xiaoge took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Are you in Silicon Valley now?"
"Yes."
"I will fly there tomorrow." Xiong Xiaoge said lightly, " We have to talk face to face."
"Welcome to Mr. Xiong to inspect and guide the work!" Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.
Xiong Xiaoge threw the phone aside angrily. He had never met an entrepreneur who was as out-of-the-box as Qin Shaoyan.
Things always happen unexpectedly, making you hard to guard against.
What made him angry was not that Qin Shaoyan made trouble from time to time, but that he was not notified before every trouble, making him very passive.
Take this incident as an example. If Qin Shaoyan can reveal a little bit of information so that he can make arrangements in advance, the benefits will be more than ten times.
Just like that, he still has the nerve to say that he is in the same boat?
……
The next day, Qin Shaoyan called Xiong Xiaoge and found that he couldn't get through. He guessed that he had already boarded the plane, so he started to connect.
He first communicated with Xu Xin from Capital Today, "Mr. Xu, are you busy?"
"Hey, Mr. Qin." Xu Xin was a little surprised and joked, "You If you don’t show up, I’ll have to call the police.”
“That’s not it.” Qin Shaoyan couldn’t laugh or cry, “Why should I call the police?”
“You haven’t heard from me for half a month. We looked everywhere for you and couldn't find you. We thought you had been kidnapped." Xu Xin joked, "You are a big boss after all, so be careful."
At this time, the domestic security was completely different from that of twenty years later. Vicious cases such as kidnapping could occur even in the capital.
In February 2004, a group of kidnappers kidnapped a celebrity with guns. If the police had not rescued him in time, the hostages would have been killed.
This incident was later made into a movie by the person involved.
The security in Beijing did not improve until the 2008 Olympic Games.
"My mobile phone has run out of gas recently, and my secretary Xiao Chen has no eyesight and won't repair it for me." Qin Shaoyan said nonsense, "I'm busy with several important projects, and I can't even fix it at all." I didn’t pay attention to the phone.”
"Well, I know." Xu Xin said with a smile, "Mr. Qin quietly made big news in the United States and sold YouTube to Microsoft."
"Mr. Qin, you too It’s so uninteresting. Why don’t you inform us in advance so that we can make some money?”
“It’s not okay to eat alone.”
