Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 660 Are you crazy?
"Ma Sheng, why is your host here so late?" Ma Liang had just walked into the banquet hall when he was teased by Shi Meilun who was coming towards him.

As she spoke, she did not forget to raise her eyebrows at the silly girl next to her.

Old Man Xia, who was listening on the sidelines, also joked: "I really envy you for having young children, unlike us who are half-buried old people and can't even play even if we want to!"

Although they made a joke casually, it made everyone present laugh. Everyone looked at Ma Liang and Zuo You with meaningful expressions.

At this time, Zhou Kaixuan, the confidante of Mr. Li in Xiangjiang, also arrived at the scene.

The two bosses were not unhappy at all because Ma Liang came late, but seemed extremely calm.

As the saying goes, food and sex are what matters, not to mention that these two have never seen anything. They played crazier than Ma Liang when they were young, so how can they care about this.

"Young people, it's normal to be a little playful! Is that okay, Ma Sheng, haha..."

As the person involved, Ma Liang could only smile awkwardly to hide his inner embarrassment.

Anyway, he is thick-skinned and doesn't panic about anything.

Zuo You was the only girl who couldn't bear it. Her little face turned red. She suddenly pinched Ma Liang's arm with her small hands in embarrassment and anger. You felt very annoyed.

It's all this bad guy's fault for making her make such a fool of herself. It's really embarrassing.

Although there was a pain in his arm, Ma Liang still pretended to be fine and started chatting with the big guys.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting!"

"It's indeed long enough!"

At this moment, Chai Daguan from behind also squeezed in and joked,
"If I hadn't known what kind of person you are, Brother Ma, I would have thought that you would have just gone public as soon as the company went public..."

Ma Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this, and swore to himself that he would never be so impatient again.

Fortunately, he is also a business tycoon now, so how could he mess up things because of sex. To be like this again is a bit too much.

So he quickly changed the topic and immediately asked Mr. Chai Daguan: "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business! Where is Mr. Cheng from [Kaixin.com]? Is he here?"

"I've been here for a long time, I've been waiting for you!"

Chai Jin turned around and pulled a slightly cautious man with glasses behind him, who could it be if he wasn't Cheng Binghao.

It's just that this guy is still a newbie in the venture capital circle. He can't let go when he comes to this small area of ​​​​Xiangjiang and meets many big guys.

Especially this famous person made him dare not make mistakes.

Fortunately, Ma Liang is an old acquaintance, so Cheng Binghao immediately stepped forward and greeted politely: "Mr. Ma, good evening!"

It was Ma Liang who specially asked Mr. Chai Daguan to call him over in advance, in order to introduce him to the old wealthy people in Xiangjiang at today's celebration dinner.

So he nodded slightly to Cheng Binghao, and then said to Zhou Kaixuan: "Senior, this is Mr. Cheng from [Xinxin.com].

Didn't you two ask about the projects I had invested in in the Mainland before? I simply called the person involved directly.

I take this project very seriously, and I voted for it twice in a row before.

In a sense, [Kaixin.com] is even more important than [Dajiang UAV], which I invested in. "

"What?" Zhou Kaixuan couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this.

Ma Liang's investment in [Dajiang UAV] has been reported by many technology media and has become almost common knowledge.

Therefore, as a venture capital boss, Zhou Kaixuan knows this very well.

But Kaixin.com is different. Although it has recently entered the second echelon of the Internet industry, it is still far behind BAT and the three major portals.

In addition, the previous financing was all organized by Chai Daguan, so it is normal for these old Xiangjiang moneymen not to understand the specific details.

But at this moment, Ma Liang actually admired [Kaixin.com] so much, which surprised them extremely. You must know that although Cheng Binghao took the lead from NetEase Ding Sanshi and signed the operating rights of the "World of Warcraft" online game in advance, he is still not worth mentioning in the eyes of these old money.

It's just a game company. Even with social networking sites as a carrier, it's still not enough in everyone's eyes.

Because the current domestic social networking king is Goose Factory, the e-commerce overlord is Alibaba, search is monopolized by Baidu, and the status of the three major portals is even more unbreakable.

[Kaixin.com] As a new force, even though it has made a lot of noise recently, no one thinks it can do anything in the short term.

Therefore, not only Zhou Kaixuan did not believe the assertion just made,
Ma Liang naturally saw the doubtful expressions on everyone's faces. He had long expected that everyone would have such a reaction.

So he calmly told Cheng Binghao: "Mr. Cheng, why don't you come and briefly introduce [Kaixin.com]'s strategic plan for the next year to everyone!"

Instead of letting him talk about it, it would be more convincing if the person involved talks about it in person.

And there are some things that it is not convenient for him, the manipulator behind the scenes, to talk about, lest others think he is bragging.

"Okay, Mr. Ma!" Cheng Binghao nodded slightly and agreed immediately.

He took a flight to Xiangjiang early this morning in order to secure the next round of financing for Kaixin.com.

Now that we have "World of Warcraft", a super online game product, and are about to become Twitter's exclusive domestic partner, such a great opportunity cannot be delayed due to limited funds.

As it is about to take off, financing matters will naturally be put on the agenda.

Because Ma Liang once called him and told him very seriously that [Kaixin.com] must seize this wave of trends and become another domestic Internet giant after BAT.

The opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again, Cheng Binghao has made sufficient preparations for this.

He had already rehearsed a set of rhetoric, hoping to persuade the group of old moneymen in Hong Kong in front of him to increase their investment in [Kaixin.com].

You must know that if you want to win in this wave of competition, the amount of funds required is not generally large.

Especially the social battle with Goose Factory in China is not weaker than the competition with Twitter and Facebook. If there is not enough ammunition, how can we win this battle?

When he thought of this, Cheng Binghao's eyes suddenly became firm.

He calmed down and spoke calmly: "Everyone, as we all know, our "Happy Farm" game is sweeping across the land of China at the speed of a hurricane.

Moreover, [Kaixin.com] recently got ahead of NetEase and became the agent for the popular online game "World of Warcraft".

In addition, under the arrangement of Mr. Ma, we will also jointly launch a large-scale hero battle MOBA competitive online game with Twitter, and at the same time start organizing relevant competition arrangements for this game around the world.

With these three strong products, [Kaixin.com] will rise strongly in the next two to three years.

As Mr. Ma said, [Kaixin.com] will launch a series of big moves in the next year, which will definitely change the pattern of the domestic Internet industry.

It has even become a large Internet company no less than Baidu, Alibaba, and Goose Factory.

In order to achieve this goal, we have launched a new round of financing plan, with a total financing target of about US$5 million..."

Cheng Binghao introduced it very patiently, even revealing many business secrets.

Of course, he only briefly told it, and it was impossible to reveal too many specific details, but even this shocked everyone present.

Especially the financing amount of 5 million U.S. dollars, which completely made all the old moneymen in Xiangjiang scream in their hearts.

"Are you crazy?"

"$5 million?"

“With so much money, I might as well invest in Facebook and Twitter!”

At this time, let alone the big guys in the Xiangjiang securities industry such as Old Man Xia and Shi Meilun, even Zhou Kaixuan had an exaggerated expression on his face.
