Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 326 Don't care about Sanqi 21
Zhou Hongyi climbed up from the ground in embarrassment, patted the dust off his body, but his face was very thick, as if nothing had happened before, he chatted with Lu Yiming about his "big deal" with a smile, only Seeing him say to Lu Yiming passionately: "Mr. Lu, I have a project worth one billion yuan, and I want to have a good talk with you."

As if afraid that Lu Yiming would not believe his words, Zhou Hongyi hurriedly introduced his resume.

It has to be said that Zhou Hongyi was so bad that he had sores on his head and pus on his feet, and he even became the No.

Like Zhang Xiaolong, Zhou Hongyi has a master's degree.

It's just that in terms of life encounters, Zhou Hongyi's path is much smoother than Zhang Xiaolong's, and the two people's life templates are completely different.

In [-], after graduating from graduate school, Zhou Hongyi immediately joined the Founder Group, which has a strong academic background in China. It only took him two years to become a programmer, project supervisor, department manager, etc. In the end, he even climbed all the way to the position of general manager of the group business department, and was appointed as the deputy director of the R&D center.

For a time, life can be described as infinite scenery.

Compared with many ordinary people, he is completely out of the sky.

But Zhou Hongyi is obviously a very ambitious person, he is not willing to be subordinated to others, let alone work for others for the rest of his life.

Therefore, after the Founder Group almost climbed to the top that he could climb, Zhou Hongyi, like Zhang Xiaolong, resolutely chose to resign.

It's just that unlike Zhang Xiaolong who resigned and continued to work for his boss, Zhou Hongyi decided to be his own boss.

In October 28, that is, last month, Zhou Hongyi put up the banner of "let Xia people use their native language to surf the Internet" on the Internet. Just after his [-]th birthday, he spent his life savings , created [-] Technology Co., Ltd.

I have to say that Zhou Hongyi has a pretty good vision, and he really grasped the pain points of the times at once.

In the current Xia Kingdom, the Internet is still a new thing, because it was introduced from abroad, so many usage habits of the Internet, and even the text logos, are quite unfriendly to the people of Xia Kingdom.

And Zhou Hongyi's entrepreneurial project is related to this, and he wants to solve the pain point of surfing the Internet for ordinary people in Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Although Lu Yiming was dismissive of this guy's character, and hated his 360 family bucket, but from another perspective, as long as he wasn't Zhou Hongyi's software client, this guy was worth cooperating with.

Lu Yiming looked at Zhou Hongyi's unbeaten face, smiled and said, "Okay, let's find a place to talk, how about you treat me to lunch?"

Although it hurts a bit, Zhou Hongyi gritted his teeth and said, "It's my honor to invite Mr. Lu to dinner."

Lu Yiming found a relatively expensive restaurant nearby and asked for a private room.

Several people were seated, and a waiter in a black suit came in with an exquisite menu and asked politely, "Excuse me..."

Lu Yiming waved his hand and said, "Bring up the ten most expensive dishes in your store, and order a bottle of the most expensive wine. This gentleman pays the bill."

"OK, just a second."

The waiter turned and left, Zhou Hongyi's heart raced.

For a billion-dollar project, endure it!
I can't bear to put my shoes on the wolf!
After ordering, Lu Yiming smiled slightly, and looked at Zhou Hongyi peacefully: "Mr. Zhou, shall we continue talking now?"

Seeing that Lu Yiming was finally willing to get down to business, Zhou Hongyi's complexion improved a little, and he hurriedly said, "Let's talk and talk. I just made a 21 project here, which is a Chinese website. I'm not bragging about Mr. Lu. This move is definitely the first of its kind to create a Chinese Internet service. In the future, Internet users in the Xia Kingdom can directly search for the website they are looking for as long as they log in to our website and enter Chinese keywords. This change can be called revolutionary. The market The prospects are promising.”

Although these words sounded bold, but Zhou Hongyi didn't brag. At this moment, he still had a little dream in his heart, and he also thought that he had seen the development trend of the Internet in Xia Kingdom in the future.

After listening to Zhou Hongyi's endless "boasting", Lu Yiming nodded slightly to his words just now, showing a somewhat approving expression: "It is really inconvenient to surf the Internet now, especially for netizens in Xia Kingdom. If you want to open any webpage, you have to first It is very troublesome to remember the English website of the other party. Professionals are fine, but for most ordinary people, this way of surfing the Internet is too high to use, not foolish enough, not convenient enough.”

Undoubtedly, from the perspective of the reborn Lu Yiming, Zhou Hongyi's idea is innovative, and the idea of ​​the product is also very successful.

In fact, in the original history, a few years later, Zhou Hongyi did gain fame by relying on the "Chinese keyword search" technology, and began to reach the peak of his career.

The project he worked on provided real-name services for the website, covering more than 90.00% of the Internet users in Xiaguo at that time, with a daily usage of more than 8000 million people, and more than 60 corporate customers, accounting for 40.00% of the domestic paid search market. market share, occupying an absolute leading position.

In 21, [-] was the first Internet company in Xiaguo to declare a profit, and survived the cold winter of the Internet.

So much so that three years later, Yahoo, which was still an Internet giant at that time, was willing to invest 2000 million US dollars to buy Xiangjiang Sanqi 21 Company, which made Zhou Hongyi rich overnight.

Although he was not ashamed of Zhou Hongyi's character, Lu Yiming had no enmity with Qian. How could Lu Yiming refuse such a money-making project that came to his door?

"Your idea is very good. I, Lu Yiming, voted for this project!"

Zhou Hongyi was overjoyed. He thought that he should be able to get money from Lu Yiming, a big boss, but he didn't expect it to be so easy!

It's only a matter of one meal—no, the business is concluded before the meal even starts?
Zhou Hongyi gave a thumbs up, with a flattering expression on his face: "Mr. Lu, you are really discerning! No wonder you have already become the boss at a young age. You are really a role model for my generation."

This time, meeting such an easy-to-bait Kaizi, no matter how you say it, you have to squeeze the wool to death!
Zhou Hongyi rubbed his palms, and asked impatiently, "Mr. Lu, how much do you plan to invest in this project?"

Lu Yiming stretched out a palm and said, "500 million, I will buy 30.00% of your shares in [-]."

"500?"

Zhou Hongyi was a little dumbfounded.

He just said one billion!

This shrinkage is too serious.

"No, Mr. Lu, don't you see the potential of this project? Let me tell you, if this project is completed, it's not a problem to have a revenue of hundreds of millions a year. Besides, Zhang Xiaolong's broken email box doesn't matter to you." 1000 million, why am I only 500 million?"

Zhou Hongyi was really in a hurry, and he directly expressed his thoughts without going through his brain.

Lu Yiming suddenly understood, and then said with a smile: "You may have misunderstood. Anyway, his Foxmail has been made, and it has been put on the market, and it has achieved good results, with 50 users. Yours What about Sanqi 21? I don’t even talk about the results, where is the finished product of yours?”

Zhou Hongyi was speechless for a moment. If he could produce the product, why would he talk to Lu Yiming about it.

But 500 million is really too little, far below Zhou Hongyi's psychological expectation.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll go back and think about it first, let's talk about cooperation later."

Obviously, Zhou Hongyi was not reconciled. He thought that although the money in his hand was a little less, it was still barely enough. After the real thing was made, he would come to negotiate with Lu Yiming, and he would definitely be able to sell it for a good price.

Zhou Hongyi got up, and Lu Yiming said with a smile, "I've ordered all the dishes, so I'm leaving now? This meal is your treat."

Zhou Hongyi wished he could shake his sleeves and leave, but he just looked at the menu, and it would be too bad not to eat this small four-figure meal, so he snorted heavily to express his dissatisfaction, and then sat down.

Lu Yiming jokingly said, "How about it? Do you really don't want the 500 million?"

Looking at Lu Yiming's eyes, Zhou Hongyi was very upset, and simply said openly: "President Lu, to be honest, the money you gave is too little, I can't accept it."

In fact, in this era, it is not a lot to get 500 million angel investments in China. When many entrepreneurs start their own businesses, they may not even have 50 in their hands.

But everything is afraid of comparison!

Zhang Xiaolong can get 1000 million from Lu Yiming, but Lu Yiming only gives him 500 million. How can you make Zhou Hongyi reconciled?
If it was an ordinary person, they might be bluffed by Zhou Hongyi.

But that’s not true of Lu Yiming. He was originally a code farmer, and he has a clear understanding of Internet-related software technology. He sighed and said to Zhou Hongyi: "Old Zhou, 500 million is actually a lot. And As for the thing you mentioned, do you think I will spend one-tenth of the money, 50 yuan, to let Zhang Xiaolong do it? Do you think he can do it? Is there any technical difficulty in the thing you mentioned? ?”

When Zhou Hongyi heard it, he couldn't understand that the young man in front of him was not easy to fool, he immediately became anxious: "Mr. Lu, people can't be so shameless! Obviously I thought of it first, and you are clearly trying to steal from me." Creative!"

It's fine for others to say this, but when Zhou Hongyi said it, Lu Yiming just felt like laughing: "Oh, you can't say that, did you apply for a patent for the idea you came up with? It's illegal for me to do this. Yet?"

Lu Yiming made it clear that he was shameless, what could Zhou Hongyi do?
He can only feel sulking in his heart now, he never thought that he was mean all his life, but now he meets a person who is even more shameless than him, that feeling cannot be described in words.

"How about it? I'll vote you 500 million to get 30.00% of the shares, or I'll spend 50 to have someone copy it, you choose."

Zhou Hongyi has always felt that he has no lower limit in his behavior, but he never expected that the young man named Lu Yiming in front of him not only has no lower limit, this shit doesn't even have a bottom line.

After a while, Zhou Hongyi sighed, and subdued Lu Yiming as if mourning: "Okay, Mr. Lu, you won, and I accept your suggestion."

Lu Yiming laughed heartily: "That's right. Look carefully, at least take my 500 million, you can produce results faster, and it will not be easy to make money by then? Life is short, you have to get rich early. "

Seeing Lu Yiming laugh heartlessly, Zhou Hongyi's heart was bleeding.

He always felt that he was the only one who calculated others' share, but he never expected that today he would fall into the hands of a high school student.

It's shameful, it's just too shameful!
Zhou Hongyi secretly vowed in his heart that when he gets rich in the future, he must get back to where he was today!
This meal, Lu Yiming's mouth was full of greasiness, but Zhou Hongyi felt that the delicate dishes in front of him had no taste at all. He wished he could give every dish a bad review, and then he didn't have to pay the bill.

Satisfied with wine and food, Lu Yiming belched and said to Zhou Hongyi, "Sunday morning, come to the company to sign the contract."

"Ah."

When school was over in the afternoon, Lei Peilin called Lu Yiming. Zhang Xiaolong finished the first version of the software and asked him if he had time to check it out.

Lu Yiming was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaolong's efficiency.As soon as the last class in the afternoon ended, he came to Shijinji.

Seeing the thick dark circles on Zhang Xiaolong's face, Lu Yiming couldn't help but tease: "Old Zhang, did someone beat your eyes? Half of your face is black."

Zhang Xiaolong yawned, and his words were lacking energy: "I haven't slept for three days and two nights. Mr. Lu, please check if there is any problem with the software. If there is no problem, I will go to bed."

Seeing his state, Lu Yiming didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly tested the software himself.

Zhang Xiaolong has excellent technology, and the software functions are not complicated. Lu Yiming finished the test in just ten minutes, without a single bug, and the stress test passed successfully.

Lu Yiming looked around and said to the people around him, "Hey, did you see that? This is called a profession!"

After the software problem was settled, Lu Yiming felt a big stone in his heart, and turned to ask Lei Peilin, "Old Lei, how are your activities going?"

Ji Wenze used his privileges to intimidate Lu Yiming, but he was easily resolved by Lu Yiming. Now that the TV station has already lifted the ban, the advertisements continue to be launched, and the planning of the program is also in full swing.

Lei Peilin immediately reported the progress of the project to Lu Yiming: "There are still two days until the preliminaries are over. After the end, we will select 32 works, and all the materials can be handed over to the TV station for the first episode of the program. It has been produced. The second episode of the program can enter the sea election voting to select the top [-]. The specific operation will be more topical and more eye-catching, and it is still under discussion.”

The vote counting system was made for the second episode.Fully considering that art is highly subjective, and Lu Yiming does not have any good feelings for so-called experts, the previously agreed plan for the expert jury to select the top 32 was rejected by Lu Yiming, and the decision was directly left to the audience.

After all, from the beginning of the audition, there have been special talents to check it out, and what Lei Peilin and the others screened were only messy garbage.There are tens of thousands of works submitted, and those who can enter the top 32 have a certain foundation. No matter who is selected in the top [-], the standard will basically not be too bad.

"Well, it's up to you to decide. Especially TV stations, they are more professional than us in controlling public opinion and audience emotions. This can be left to them to plan."

All competitions have scripts, and the process must be full of suspense and excitement, so that the audience can be fully involved and participate in the whole process.

Lu Yiming patted Zhang Xiaolong on the shoulder, and praised without hesitation: "Your task has been completed very well. I paid you 90 in advance, and the remaining [-] will be credited to your account soon. Go to bed quickly and take care of yourself." Energized and ready for the next project.”
