Reboot 2003

Chapter 54 Chapter 054: Misunderstanding

Gu Wenjie was actually a little bit wronged.

As for the past few months of cooperation with Chen Qin, he himself felt that there was no problem. Chen Qin hinted that he was a master of a big factory, saying that he could not come because of his own business...

These are all fine, whatever he says.

At that time, not only Gu Wenjie, but also other people in Ali thought the same way.

Anyway, Kuaikan platform seems to be a good product. Chen Aotian can directly come up with a finished website, which is much better than most swindlers. It’s just that others have some doubts because of the above problems. Only Gu Wenjie can see its value at a glance. He scraped together a sum of money and caught up with this bus.

And this advertising platform does have its value——

At the beginning, Chen Aotian said that the level of this platform is far superior to that in China, even higher than Google and Yahoo.

Gu Wenjie and other Ali people didn't take it too seriously, they just thought that he probably made some exaggerated descriptions. Everyone knew that the Kuaikan platform was good, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful.

From the present point of view, Chen Qin's self-confidence is completely well-founded.

However, even so, one yard returns to one yard...

Although the Kuaikan platform is indeed very powerful and the company is developing very smoothly, there are still some things that are really strange.

Everything else is fine.

The most important thing is that the company has now developed to this point——

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the future of the media is boundless, let alone worth tens of millions. If this continues, it is not impossible to become a billionaire by going public. Now the bubble has passed, the Internet industry is also recovering, and the epidemic has basically subsided.

But here comes the problem...why does Chen Aotian still refuse to return to China?

It should be said that there are not many people who think that the moon in foreign countries is relatively round, and some rich and powerful people also have this idea, but Chen Aotian does not seem to be such a person.

And for the real elites, the country and culture are just a stage. In this era, the real Silicon Valley and Wall Street elites are showing a tendency to go to China. Murdoch became the son-in-law back to China in order to enter the Chinese market. Goldman Sachs executives specially hired people to learn how to praise Chinese food in order to enter the Chinese market...

On the Chinese side, before Zhang Chaoyang founded Sohu, he was a member of the MIT academic circle, and Li Yanhong was one of the three people on the planet who knew the most about search engines before starting a new one.

But this 'Chen Aotian' sits firmly on his buttocks, and now he is like this, but he has no intention of going back to China at all.

Then it's fine if he doesn't come back, and he deliberately kept a hand on the intellectual property rights...

In this case, although Gu Wenjie didn't know the reason, he had to take some precautions. At least he had to make a backup copy of the program so that he wouldn't be stuck in the most critical place.

It's just a pity, after all, he is just a rookie in the Internet circle, and the result of his low rank is that not only did he not back up the program of Kuaikan platform, but the other party saw the flaw at a glance, and was caught first...

"List……"

At this moment, Gu Wenjie actually didn't know what to do, bluffing didn't seem to work, and this was not a solution, and it finally failed. He could only listen to the training honestly like a primary school student.

Fortunately, the partner wasn't very angry, and didn't mind his previous backlash. After puncturing Gu Wenjie's intentions, he patiently explained the truth to him.

"I'm not talking about you, Wen Jie, do you know what's going on now? The company was built by the two of us, and we are our own people." Chen Qin taught him earnestly, "I know you trust Ali, but will Ali care about the life and death of Kuaikan Media? They only consider their own interests, and you have a sense of running your own business. If you can't understand this, then let's split up as soon as possible and go home to sell sweet potatoes!"

Then he even said uninterestedly: "Think about it for yourself first, and I will talk to you slowly at night."

It turned out to be leaving.

Gu Wenjie was also a little anxious, and he argued loudly to the computer at his workstation: "I really don't think of you as my own, Chen, I'm not willing to do this! Ali wants to invest, but they will definitely not come to a contract like yours. They said before that acquisitions can be negotiated, and investment can also be negotiated, but at least the software must be under the company's name. I think this condition is really not too much!"

"Then you let them take the money! As I said before, they took out 3000 million, and I transferred the copyright to the company without saying a word. You really don't understand what I mean."'Chen Aotian' reprimanded him unceremoniously in a deep, electric voice, "I mean, why do you insist on selling the company to Ali? Now we are developing rapidly, and the Kuaikan platform is better than Taobao. They are begging us to sell the company, not us begging to give them the company, you Do you understand?"

"I know what you mean, Chen." Gu Wenjie quickly explained, "I'm not saying that we must sell it. This website has the current success, and you are the biggest contributor. Everyone knows this, but our leading edge cannot last forever!"

He took a deep breath and tried to explain in an orderly way: "Now is the time when we need money. You are in technology. You probably don't know how fierce our competition is now. Now Haoye.com has started to copy our platform. I know this is immoral, but no one in China cares about this! And business can't be done well with technology... Just this month, Sina Huicong just launched a 300 million epidemic subsidy. If you want to use real money to grab advertising resources, there are just a few of us. We can't do it without promotion or operation. go down..."

"No." Chen Qin interrupted him, "I know what you said. Everyone knows that investment is needed to seize the market, but if you don't have money, you go to investors. Ali doesn't want you to go to others. Why do you do what Ali asks you to do?"

Gu Wenjie subconsciously retorted: "But Ali and our business complement each other. Alibaba's tens of thousands of B2B customers are all potential advertisers, and I know that Taobao will soon invest, and they will be our biggest customers at that time. Isn't that what you said at the beginning? Ali and Kuaikan are natural partners..."

"No, you stop first. I didn't say that Ali can't do it. What I mean is that we can't live without Ali. I also hope to cooperate with Ali." Chen Aotian patiently explained to him, "But in order to cooperate with Ali, you came to steal my code. Do you think there is something wrong with you?"

Gu Wenjie said anxiously: "I didn't steal anything from you to Ali..."

He quickly explained: "You hid the copyright of the software in your own hands, and now the platform is managed by you alone. I just keep a backup for the company. Who wants to give your software to Ali?"

Even though he said this, Gu Wenjie himself seemed to be aware of the problem, and 'Chen Aotian' said to him: "No matter what you think, look at the platform that I built with my own hands. Your actions have damaged business integrity. Wenjie, I can tolerate this now, but..."

"I really don't, Aotian, don't you believe that you came to be the CEO! I really..."

Gu Wenjie lost control a little bit, but the person opposite was unmoved, and said coercively to him: "Gu Wenjie, listen to me quietly."

"Listen well, I will not give the Kuaikan platform to others, nor will I prevent the company from continuing to use it, do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand..."

"Okay, so if someone wants to steal Kuaikan platform's technology, or want to drive me out of the company, I will sell the latest code of Kuaikan platform to others or directly open source for self-defense, do you understand?"

"Yeah, I really wouldn't do that..."

"If you don't do this, then we'll do business well." 'Chen Aotian' said coldly, "If that's the case, then you should contact other investors now. I'll give you the numbers of IDG and Softbank right now, and you can contact them."

"What about Ali?"

"Let them talk, whether it's investment or acquisition, let them come to the negotiating table to trade with us. To be honest, I don't want to believe that you and Ali are on the same team, but if you want to set aside me to build another platform, then I will follow the method I said and hand over the software code to a third party."

Gu Wenjie was going crazy: "Ali is Ali, I am me, I really don't want to give the code to Ali!"

"I believe in you too, Wen Jie, but what I can't tolerate the most is betrayal. You can talk to Ali about my ideas. Of course I am willing to continue to cooperate, but the premise is that you also have sincerity."

"Well, I think we must have had a big misunderstanding..."

"That's it, I'm going to work."

The call ended instantly.

Without hesitation, Chen Qin in his colored steel office cut off the voice call, leaving Gu Wenjie in a daze in front of the screen.

As the CEO, Gu Wenjie himself sat in the big office area with the people from the marketing department, and there was a sign of Kuaikan Media’s No. 001 station next to him. This was so that he could always be on the front line and work hard with his employees. After two months, his pragmatic spirit really played a role.

However, just now his forehead got hot, and he had an argument with Chen Qin at the work station. At this moment, Chen Qin hung up the call. Gu Wenjie looked up, and immediately met a lot of fiery peeping eyes...

Some people stood directly watching, some looked up curiously from their workstations, and some were not watching, but their ears were pricked up, listening to the boss arguing with others.

"What to look at, go to work!"

Gu Wenjie dropped the earphones and hurriedly drove these people back. Everyone hurriedly went to work by themselves, but they all saw their CEO looking confused and lonely.

Gu Wenjie wanted to lean against the back of the chair, close his eyes and take a rest.

At this moment, he doesn't know what he looks like, and he can't show such a weak posture in front of his subordinates. He can only turn off the computer, grab the mobile phone, get up and walk to Ali next door.

To be honest, he was a little frustrated.

Judging from the results, his crisis response this time was undoubtedly a failure - although the result of the failure was already doomed, but his behavior caused such a big misunderstanding to the partners, which he did not expect in advance.

But just as he entered the elevator, Gu Wenjie felt a little relieved again.

Take a quick look at the platform, which embodies his hard work, and of course the partner's hard work.

It may seem that both parties are a bit suspicious. After all, he didn't even understand computers two years ago. He was dragged to Ali by his friends, and this partner doesn't want to be a normal person no matter how he looks at it...

However, no matter what, the two sides have the same idea of ​​building a platform. Before, he just thought that he had to control the risk, but now he thinks that kind of thing is fine. Maybe this time they broke up, and they can continue to cooperate as before. It is an unimaginable extravagant hope.

So what does the future hold?Gu Wenjie didn't know.

It was only after he entered the elevator that he thought in his heart...

If we can tide over the difficulties this time, solve the misunderstanding of this already suspicious partner, attract investment, and solve the intellectual property issue... maybe the business will not be impossible to continue.

And until then, it's time to change to an independent office for yourself.
