Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 488 Xiao Ma seeks Da Ma for Buddhist scriptures?
"I don't understand~!"

"Dong dong dong~!"

"I remember I told you before, if the funds are under pressure~ I can help."

"Why did you sell the company?"

"Dong dong dong~!"

"And even if you want to sell it, it's okay to tell me in advance?"

"It's not that I don't have money~ and we're still friends!"

"Tell me~ why are you doing this?"

"Dong dong dong~!"

In the office~ Chen Li slapped the table loudly while scolding Brother Ma who was opposite him.

To be honest~ his hands were numb, but he still didn't stop.

Because he really doesn't understand!
It's only 800 million, and it's not that Chen Li can't afford it now. If Xiao Ma really decides to sell the company, then he Chen Li will definitely pay to buy Fujixun and OICQ.

But the problem is~ Until the news of Fuji Xun being sold, Chen Li didn't get any news from his netizen and friend Xiao Ma.

This is why Chen Li got angry and lost his temper, and it was also the reason why Xiao Ma was so embarrassed before.

"Old Chen~ This matter~ It's really my fault!"

"But don't get angry~ At least listen to my explanation!"

"It was not easy to talk about this on the Internet before, so this time I came to Yanjing to do business, so I came here to explain it to you."

"Look at this first~!"

Brother Xiao Ma looked at Chen Li helplessly, and pushed his laptop over.

"Hehe~ Then I'd better listen to your explanation."

Chen Li smiled reluctantly~ After all, he really didn't understand why this little Ma brother did such a thing.

He has long expressed his interest in Tengxun, and he and Brother Xiao Ma have a certain personal relationship, so both public and private ~ Brother Xiao Ma should give him an explanation.

Then he saw the open email on Brother Ma's laptop.

"Your English level is higher than mine, so you don't need me to translate?"

Brother Xiao Ma got up, walked to Chen Li, reached out and tapped the computer screen and said:

"It was because of this email that I sold the company as quickly as possible."

"We are friends~ so I won't hide it from you, and I can't hide it from you."

"This email is genuine, I've confirmed it."

"And what's said is actually true."

After saying these words, Brother Xiao Ma returned to the position opposite Chen Li, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.

At this time, Chen Li had already focused his attention on the laptop in front of him~ no, it was the email on the screen.

Although this is an e-mail, it is also a lawyer's letter.

To be precise~ this is a letter from a lawyer from the United States across the ocean.

The person who sent this lawyer's letter to Brother Xiao Ma~ No, it should be said that it is a company, it is a company in the United States called America Online.

Chen Li had a little impression of this company~ but he didn't remember it for a while, but when he saw the content of this lawyer's letter, he immediately remembered some information about this company.

This AOL is the parent company of ICQ.

It is ICQ~ not OICQ, the two seem to be very close, but they are not the same thing.

But in fact, there are actually many connections between the two.

ICQ~ is an instant messaging software launched by an Israeli company in 1996.

Once this software was launched, it immediately responded globally, and with its unprecedented creativity, it quickly gained a large number of users all over the world.

Even in Asia, where the Internet was not well developed at that time, the number of market users accounted for 70%.

Six months after the software was launched, it became the most used instant messaging software in the world at that time.

And a year and a half later ~ that is, in 1998, ICQ was acquired by America Online at a high price of 2.8 million US dollars.

And it is said that America Online paid an additional $1.2 million to the founding team of ICQ in order to acquire the company.

In other words, AOL spent a full US$4 million to acquire ICQ!
It is worth mentioning that the time of this transaction was 1998.How valuable is the 4 million US dollars at this meeting~ one can imagine!

And maybe it was because of this transaction that the little brother at that time came up with such an OICQ.

Yes~OICQ is actually a counterfeit product of ICQ.

Even if the results of OICQ, that is, the later QQ, far surpassed ICQ, the copycats are copycats.

Whether it is from the product concept~ or the operation method, even the name has not been let go.

OICQ and ICQ have almost the same meaning as Master Kong and Shuaifu later.

Of course~ Brother Xiao Ma did this before, it is actually understandable.

After all, this thing was first designed to bid for the network paging system.

It doesn't matter if you choose the name of OICQ, anyway, after the bidding is successful~ this name will most likely be changed by Party A.

It's just that I didn't expect that the bidding for this thing failed. In the end, Xiao Ma and others had to run the project by themselves.

And at this time, the instant messaging software ICQ has actually entered the domestic market.

It's just that the domestic computer Internet is not that developed these days, so ICQ doesn't care about the domestic market at all, and it doesn't make any adjustments for the domestic market.

So. At this time, OICQ appeared.

Maybe it was because they wanted to take advantage of ICQ's reputation~ Tengxun didn't even bother to change the name, so they just continued to use the name OICQ.

To be honest~ At this time, Xiao Ma, I never thought that OICQ would become a big hit.

The reason why they operate this software is actually to sell it after achieving certain results.

It's just that they didn't expect that foreign ICQs sold for 4 million US dollars, and their OICQs fell into their hands.

And at this time~ the Fujixun Five Tigers are actually a little bit hard to get off.

After all, after spending so much time and money, it is impossible to pay back the money, right?

So a few people just gritted their teeth and persisted until the beginning of the year. Xiao Ma went to Yanjing to find someone to attract investment or to see if anyone was interested in OICQ.

In the previous life ~ Brother Ma's trip to Yanjing this time must have failed.

After all, the domestic Internet industry is still in its infancy, and the so-called instant messaging software~ does not have a large domestic market.

There are not many personal computer users in the whole country, and the mainstream of the market is BBS and Internet chat rooms.

So this thing~ no one is interested at all.

But this time, Brother Ma's trip to Yanjing was obviously influenced by Chen Li, the butterfly.

Because Chen Li, a butterfly, attached great importance to OICQ, Ma Xiaoyun, an Internet upstart influenced by Chen Li, offered a high price of 300 million yuan!

This little brother Ma is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Seeing that Ma Xiaoyun has offered 300 million yuan, maybe someone will offer a higher price later.

Although the cold reception later made Xiao Ma somewhat sober, it also made him realize that this OICQ is not as useless as he thought before.

Otherwise~ Ma Xiaoyun would not be able to offer such a high price for the acquisition.

So the five tigers of Fujixun combined together and pooled another 100 million to carry it on.

With this 100 million ~ the development of OICQ naturally accelerated by another level, and then it was sued by ICQ.

That's right~ The email on the laptop in front of Chen Li is the lawyer's letter sent by America Online to Tengxun.

The other party intends to appeal against OICQ's plagiarism of ICQ.

Hearing this~ Chen Li finally understands why Brother Xiaoma sells so happily, and at the same time understands the tricks.

But he was even more puzzled.

Because of this incident~ It happened in the previous life too?
The OICQ in the previous life changed its name because of the American Online lawsuit.

So isn't this a matter of changing the name?Why did you let Brother Ma sell the company?

Chen Li looked at the lawyer's letter and fell into deep thought.

He didn't ask Brother Xiao Ma directly, because he knew about the past life, but Brother Xiao Ma didn't know!

Don't talk~ Chen Li thought for a long time, and really understood some of the tricks.

ICQ in the previous life probably also sued Fujixun at this time, but Fujixun at that time can be said to have nothing.

In addition to the continuously growing number of users, Tengxun’s OICQ has no income~only expenses. Even at that time, Tengxun had no money to buy servers due to financial pressure, and OICQ had several operational problems.

And the most important thing is that there was no one who wanted Fujixun at that time.

To put it bluntly~ the OICQ at that time could not be sold at all.

In that case~ Brother Xiaoma could only grit his teeth and finally chose to change the name of OICQ to QQ, which survived the prosecution.

To be honest~ Chen Li doesn't believe that he can get rid of this matter just by changing his name.

Among them, it is estimated that there are reasons why it is difficult to fight a transnational lawsuit and the background behind Brother Xiao Ma.

But this is just Chen Li's guess. After all, changing the name will settle the matter. In Chen Li's opinion, it's a bit nonsense.

But that was the previous life, no one cared about the OICQ at that time, but the current OICQ is not like this.

The purchase price of 300 million yuan given by Ma Xiaoyun before was there, and brother Xiao Ma had leaked the news before, so it is estimated that he wanted to use this to increase Fujixun's "worth".

Therefore, although the current Fujixun and OICQ cannot be said to be popular, they are definitely under the attention of some people.

It’s just that Brother Xiao Ma and others should be waiting for the price, but I didn’t expect to be hit by America Online, and then Brother Xiao Ma and others directly sold OICQ and Fujixun for 800 million. .

800 million~According to the proportion of shares~ Fujixun Five Tigers can get a lot of money.

With this amount of money, everyone, starting a new company and starting anew, wouldn’t it be better than dying on this little sapling of Fujixun?

In particular, OICQ is a product they fiddled with, and this thing is supposed to be sold.

So. It has become the current situation.

Regarding this ~ Chen Li expressed his helplessness!
He is really helpless~ Because Ahri, the three giants of the Internet in the previous life, is gone, and now Tengxun is also gone.

Chen Li believed that without Fujixun of the Five Tigers, it would be difficult to reach the heights of his previous life.

Moreover, Fujixun now only has one OICQ product, and it is actually the online game industry that really made Fujixun rich.

Of course~ OICQ is a cornerstone of Fujixun's entry into the game industry. It is precisely because of the huge user group of OICQ that the later Fujixun game empire came into being.

But without the OICQ of Fujixun Five Tigers, it is hard to say whether it can reach the height of QQ in the previous life, let alone the online game that has not been seen yet.

Maybe it is possible~OICQ will lead to better development after being sold.

But this possibility~ In Chen Li's opinion, it should not be great!
Perhaps after being sold, Tengxun and OICQ will still become an important force in the domestic Internet industry, but they want to reach the scale of their previous life. Chen Li doesn't believe it at all.

The same reason~ Can the five tigers who left Fujixun and OICQ still be as successful as in the previous life?Can Xiao Ma still become the richest man in China?
Chen Li is actually not optimistic either!

Just like Ma Xiaoyun today, Chen Li didn't think that the other party could still be the richest man in China like in his previous life.

After all, the market of the Internet security industry is so big, it is almost impossible for Ma Xiaoyun to reach the peak of his previous life.

Unless the red pony transforms later and starts to develop like other technology industries, it is simply impossible to rely solely on computer and Internet security!
Thinking of this~ Chen Li felt like crying.

This butterfly, he just killed the two richest men in China?

Uh~ Speaking of it, Chen Li seems to know the richest man in China, and that is Ding Sanshi from Wangnan.

Fortunately, this guy was not much affected by Chen Li's butterfly, so he probably will become the richest man in China, right?

But it's hard to say~ Anyway, now Chen Li feels that the Internet industry at this time has become a mess.

The future e-commerce overlord is gone~ the future game overlord is gone, but there may be one more overlord in the computer Internet security industry.

As for what industry Xiao Ma and the others will enter in the future, and whether they will achieve dominance in the new industry, God knows?
Anyway, Chen Li couldn't guess it. Now he seriously doubts the memories of his previous life~ Maybe he can help him in the future. Not much!

"Okay~!"

"Anyway, the company is sold, so it's useless to talk about it!"

"Brother Ma, what are you going to do next?"

At this point, Chen Li didn't know what to say.

Although he lost his temper at brother pony, he also knew that losing his temper was meaningless.

Of course~ This kind of depressed emotion should be posted, otherwise it will cause problems if you hold it in for a long time.

But after losing his temper~ it's time to talk about business, anyway, he and Xiao Ma can be regarded as friends now.

"Well!"

"To tell you the truth, brother, I came to Yanjing this time to learn Buddhist scriptures."

Brother Xiaoma pondered for a while, adjusted his glasses, looked at Chen Li and said.

"Take a scripture?"

"Hehe~ You won't come to me to learn from you, will you?"

"My main business is raising chickens, you won't"

Chen Li was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly became amused. Brother Ma...wouldn't want to learn from Ding Sanshi in his previous life, would he be interested in the breeding industry?

"No no no~!"

"Old Chen, where did you think~ I don't know anything about the breeding industry."

"I came to Yanjing this time to learn from Mr. Ma!"

Brother Xiao Ma waved his hand and directly stated his plan.

"Learn from Brother Ma?"

"What's the matter? Are you also planning to engage in Internet security?"

Now Chen Li's eyes widened, this pony brother wouldn't come to be the red pony's competitor, would he?
That's not easy!

From Chen Li's point of view, whether it's Ma Xiaoyun or Xiao Ma, these people probably have a halo around them.

This halo is probably called the "success" halo.

People like them, even under the influence of Chen Li, the butterfly, deviated from the track of their previous lives.

But maybe it was because of their outstanding achievements in the previous life, Chen Li always felt that no matter what these people did, they could succeed.

"No, no, don't get me wrong!"

Just when Chen Li wondered if Brother Xiao Ma wanted to grab a meal, Brother Xiao Ma shook his head again.

"I'm here to find President Ma this time."

"I want to ask about e-commerce!"

"Didn't Mr. Ma plan to start e-commerce before? It is said that he has visited the United States?"

"So I plan to come here to learn from the experience and listen to Mr. Ma's opinions on e-commerce!"

Brother Xiao Ma was talking, and suddenly noticed that Chen Li's expression on the opposite side changed drastically, and then...
"F*ck~ isn't it?"
