The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 430

Twenty or so bosses came out of the conference room in a file. At this time, Li Weidong and the others also walked into the elevator, which still seemed empty.

With the load capacity and space of this elevator, it is obvious that many people can go in, but not many have the courage to follow in, and the level is suppressed.

There are so many elevators, who would take the same elevator as the boss, how embarrassing it is in a confined space!

Li Weidong stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the door of the hall. The waiter and a guest in the hall, whether they knew each other or not, all looked at Li Weidong after seeing it.

It's not because of how high Li Weidong's net worth is, but because these people come out with a different aura, imposing aura and wealth.

Li Weidong glanced at the hall inadvertently, and happened to see a few people standing around a coffee table in the corner of the hall.

Several people should have been sitting around chatting, and they stood up when they saw Li Weidong and his party appear.

Seeing these people, Li Weidong was a little stunned. These people seemed to be a little unharmonious when they were surrounded by people, but after thinking about it, he took it for granted.

These are the big names of the Internet in the future, but they are not yet visible, even if they are in the public, they will not attract the attention of others.

Twenty years later, even ten years later, these few people sitting together will cause a great sensation. After all, these people together have a net worth of almost trillions.

After Li Weidong was stunned, he smiled all over his face, not for anything else, just because these are pigs that can fly into the sky, the key is that he also fed a handful of pig feed.

As the originator of the domestic venture capital industry, Li Weidong was able to make huge profits in the Internet bubble in the United States, so naturally he would not give up the opportunity of making a fortune on the Internet in China.

The reputation and reputation that Jingwei Investment has built up over the years has already become an angel for start-up bosses who want to start a business but are short of money.

As long as you can blow it, blow it well and make Zheng Sijing happy, funding is just a trivial matter!
Moreover, in recent years, the focus of Jingwei's investment has also shifted to the Internet and new technology companies, investing in many start-up companies.

Now the heads of the three major Internet portals are all present. Although they are three similar companies, there are suspicions of repeated investment, but Li Weidong believes that what he picks up in the basket is food, so naturally he will not let it go.

Moreover, Li Weidong's investment in these three companies made Zheng Sijing very confused. They are obviously three companies that compete with each other.

Why not invest in one of them and merge the other two, which saves a lot of resources and time.

Li Weidong also had this idea, but gave up after thinking about it.

Although these three companies are suspected of being homogeneous, they can live well in the future, and there must be reasons for it.

Besides, the development focus of these three major portals is different. Even Sohu, which was the worst in the future, has once been brilliant.

Even when they were in their worst decline, the market value they owned was a ceiling that ordinary people and ordinary companies would never reach.

In addition to these three people, there are other people. The three most powerful Internet companies in the future, BAT, have two heads today.

It's not that Li Weidong didn't invest in another company, but that this newly established company is still too small.

In fact, the funds for his establishment were all provided by Li Weidong, but this investment company is not Jingwei Investment, but the capital obtained in the United States.

The two companies that came here today are just living a difficult life. One is that they don’t have enough money when they are just established, and the other is that there are too many customers and they can’t find a profit model.

In short, the three major Internet companies in the future are still struggling on the line of life and death. It is estimated that no one except Li Weidong would have imagined how arrogant the future BAT will be.

Because of this, these two brothers and sisters with the same surname basically stand aside in the crowd, even the sofa is squeezed together.

Judging from the positions, among these people, the one with the highest status and the most respected is not the current three major sects, but another chubby middle-aged man.

This is the chairman of Jinshan, whose surname is Qiu and whose name is Bojun. It is rumored that he shut himself up in a hotel, wrote 10,000+ lines of code, and made a word processing software.

Li Weidong was very curious about this person, and even more curious about this matter. He once asked him to verify this matter face to face when they met.

To what extent does a programmer have to be awesome to start from scratch without writing 10,000+ lines of code by copying and pasting!

It's just that Chairman Qiu said implicitly, "It's not worth mentioning, it's just a marketing method. The public wants to see the myth, so let's show it to him!"

The common people like God, on the one hand, it can satisfy their envious hearts, and on the other hand, they will not be jealous, because it is God, so there is nothing to be jealous of.

It is a good excuse to find reasons for not being able to do it.

Li Weidong suddenly had a different view on programmers, and this is the real marketing master.

Standing next to Qiu Dong was the general manager Lei with a silly smile on his face. Li Weidong only found out later that the co-author of this marketing master learned from here.

An engineer with 20 years of experience can only say that our products rely on marketing.

But a boss with a background in marketing shouts every day that our products have core technology!
This person is really short of what to call, the less he has, the more he cares!
Li Weidong looked at a few people, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards them!

Li Weidong had never seen these people in his life, except for Qiu Dong and Mr. Lei.

It's not that Li Weidong doesn't have this opportunity, but that they don't have the opportunity yet. Not every leader of a small company has the opportunity to have an interview with Li Weidong.

Although Li Weidong knows that they will be great in the future, they are not good now, and they themselves don't know what tomorrow will be like.

And it turns out that most of the tomorrows will not be better, and a better tomorrow is just a psychological suggestion without practical significance.

Seeing Li Weidong coming, several people were a little excited. Although they had not seen Li Weidong in person, they had seen Li Weidong's photos.

Although there is a gap between the real person and the photo, mainly because the photo looks better than the real person, it does not prevent them from recognizing that this is Li Weidong.

What's more, there is Zheng Sijing next to him. Chinese people are most particular about order, and you can tell that this is the big boss of the big boss Zheng Sijing.

Zheng Sijing, who was following Li Weidong, was a little taken aback when he saw these people, but he didn't care too much, knowing that he was here, and many people came to him.

According to the requirements to participate in the meeting, Mr. Qiu and Mr. Lei are eligible, because Li Weidong's shares in Jinshan have already exceeded half.

From the initial financial investment, after several rounds of capital increase and share expansion, and later restructuring and reforming horizontal acquisitions, it has now become an equity investment.

Kingsoft has become a holding subsidiary of Jingwei Investment, and the controlling shareholder of Jingwei Investment is Ruibosi Holdings.

Ruibosi Holdings is Li Weidong's private company!

The first requirement for being able to come to the annual meeting is that it must be a subsidiary of Li Weidong Holdings, that is, the company that Li Weidong must have the final say in order to come.

A financial investment company, no matter how large it is, is not qualified. From the perspective of others, this meeting is Li Weidong's personal company meeting.

So Jinshan can come to this meeting. Now the three major portals, Li Weidong's shares have not yet had absolute power, so he is naturally not the one to be invited.

Of course, Li Weidong will not have an absolute controlling stake in these companies. After several rounds of financing, one can imagine how scattered the shares of an Internet company are.

Moreover, sometimes these companies do not necessarily need money to raise funds. This kind of financing is only the most basic need for the company's development.

A lot of financing, especially the last few rounds of financing, often requires strategic investors who can provide the company with non-capital resources. .

So even if you have a lot of money, if you don't have the resources needed for the company's development, the financing will be meaningless, and you will not accept this financing. .

For example, if you want to enter the market of a certain country, the best way is to introduce a strategic investor from this country and use his channel to enter this market.

To put it more simply, I need what you have, and I need what you have, and everyone will make a fortune together!

Therefore, even if Li Weidong has money, it would be good if he can keep his own shares in the next few rounds of financing. He must do something beneficial for the company's development.

Zheng Sijing watched Li Weidong continue to walk that way, and thought in his heart, the bosses of these companies came here, didn't they want to fool him into investing money again?
Especially the human who looks like an alien creature.

A few days ago, I was looking for him in Shanghai, and he was tricked into continuing to invest more. Zheng Sijing looked at this weird-looking human being and shook his head. Where did this courage come from.

The newly established company ran out of money, and started looking for money everywhere, wanting to raise money!

However, the chairman said that anyone who is not very good-looking, can fool and is shameless has a very high possibility of success, so give such a person a chance!
And the boss also called the name, if you want to invest in this company, then invest, a few million dollars, small money, whatever you want.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the past three or four months, I came to him again, talked for a long time with a small mouth, and finally said that I would invest tens of millions of dollars.

When Zheng Sijing heard this, he refused without even thinking about it. He didn't expect to come here now. If he really wanted to raise money, maybe Li Weidong would really agree.

After all, in Li Weidong's eyes, there seems to be no difference between tens of millions and millions!
Li Weidong walked towards these people, not only Zheng Sijing was a little surprised, but also the vice presidents next to him.

However, they are not engaged in the Internet, and they are not very familiar with these people. They just feel familiar, and naturally they would not think that these people will be frequent visitors to the rich list in the future.

"Hello, chairman!" Qiu Dong confirmed that Li Weidong was coming this way, and hurriedly greeted him, saying a little cautiously.

Rebus also followed behind, with a simple and honest smile, but he didn't speak at all, and there was no place for him to speak here.

At least Li Weidong doesn't ask, he can't speak, as long as he keeps a smile on his face, it's enough, the level is too low, he can't speak!

Think about a situation, you work in a company with tens of thousands of people, and when you suddenly meet the chairman and a group of vice presidents, will you say hello to the chairman?

If you went to say hello, what is wrong with your brain?
Li Weidong reached out to shake hands with Qiu Dong, and asked with a smile, "When did you arrive?"

A chairman would come to greet you, just to ask when you came, it is impossible to think about it.

Their company is not a big company, and it hasn't reached the point where Li Weidong needs to greet his relatives and hurry up to say hello.

Not only is Kingsoft not big, but the company was nearly bankrupt a few years ago. If it wasn't for Li Weidong's investment, it might have disappeared a few years ago.

Although it has slowed down in the past two years, the game sector has done well and made money, but the word processing software they were proud of ten years ago has not come back to life.

Li Weidong increased capital to invest in shares, and later acquired part of the equity. After taking the controlling stake, the first task he released was to overthrow WPS and start over.

There are not many requirements, but to be more compatible with the Microsoft system. The Microsoft system is definitely the mainstream in the future. Any general-purpose software cannot be developed without it.

This is the structure of Microsoft, and this is the root of its long-term prosperity. With this ecology, you have to rely on me if you want to survive.

Although Li Weidong has a lot of money, he will definitely not be able to change the status quo now and in the future, so he can only let himself adapt.

Moreover, the starting point of Kingsoft's rebirth in the previous life was to overthrow its original set and rewrite a word processing software that is more compatible with Microsoft.

The appearance of Li Weidong now was four or five years earlier than they themselves realized this problem.

Now WPS has no income, and it costs money to redevelop it. Tens of millions of dollars are invested every year, and there is no benefit. .

If the financial statements can look good, then it is called a ghost. Games make money, but there are a few who actually spend money to play games, so this is the darkest period of Kingsoft.

However, their products have already started internal testing, and soon a free WPS that conforms to the habits of Chinese people and is compatible with Microsoft will be introduced to the market.

Qiu Dong has already used it, and the effect is very good. This is not because he is his own child, he is boasting, but basically met Li Weidong's requirements for them.

Only now did Dong Qiu understand that Li Weidong's suggestions were far more valuable than he had imagined.

At this time, Chairman Qiu wanted to report the progress of this work to Li Weidong, but the occasion was wrong.

"I arrived this afternoon, chatting with some friends!" Qiu Dong said with a smile and explained.

He didn't know what Li Weidong meant, but to be honest, he was right, these few were indeed his friends, they were in the same circle, and it was reasonable to know each other.

"Your friend?" Li Weidong pointed to a few people and asked with a smile.

Qiu Dong still didn't understand what Li Weidong meant, but Zheng Sijing who was behind Li Weidong understood, and walked a few steps quickly to Li Weidong.

"Chairman, these are the founders of companies that Jingwei Investment has recently invested in!" Zheng Sijing pointed to them and introduced them to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong pretended to be confused while pretending to understand!
Zheng Sijing pretended to understand in a confused manner. In Zheng Sijing's consciousness, Li Weidong must be familiar with these people, at least he has seen photos.

But Li Weidong is the chairman, it is impossible to take the initiative to know these people, he is the middleman, connecting them in reality.

But what confused Zheng Sijing was when did Li Weidong have the idea of ​​getting to know them, if he didn't say a word, he had to arrange these people to come to Qizhou.

"Chairman, how are you!" Zheng Sijing would greet Li Weidong respectfully every time Zheng Sijing introduced someone.

Of course, Li Weidong would also extend his hand to save face and shake hands with these people, just like a leader inspecting.

Although Zheng Sijing did not introduce Li Weidong, it did not prevent them from knowing that this is the supreme ruler of the company.
