Chapter 142 The Middle East market is going sideways

“WeChat has obvious traces of plagiarism!”

"For example, you just showed the photo and text sharing function in Moments."

"There is also a video communication function."

"Oh, it also includes a voice message function."

"I can see the functions of other apps from these functions."

"In short, WeChat is a shameful plagiarist and not an innovative Internet company."

“My question is, how do you navigate a shamefully plagiarized business into an international market?”

It's time to come.

After receiving the right to ask questions, the ABC reporter from the lighthouse country stood up and spouted accusations one after another with an expression filled with indignation.

"Have you ever been to school?"

Luo Hui was not used to such idiots, so he picked up the microphone and retorted: "ABC is becoming more and more useless. When hiring reporters, they don't choose a few normal people with elementary school education. How can they choose idiots who can't read to do it?" reporter?"

"According to your logic, we Han people are actually the nation with the most right to accuse plagiarists."

"Because paper was invented by the Han people, and now the whole world is copying our works to read and write."

"Gunpowder is also an invention of the Han people. Do all countries that use gunpowder need to pay some patent fees?"

"And wheels."

"The Han people invented the wheel and spread it to Western countries through the Silk Road. You just copy it and use it."

"Why don't you pay the patent fee?"

"Silk, textile looms, silk reeling technology, ceramic firing technology, and tea frying technology are all great technological inventions of the Han people."

"So, can I accuse Western countries that are using these technologies of being shameful plagiarists?"

"Honestly."

"If you really want to take this seriously, Mr. reporter from the lighthouse country ABC, I'm afraid you will have to leave the press conference with your butt naked today."

"Because everything on you has the imprint of the Han people and comes from our technological inventions."

"Don't go!"

"Stay here. I've only said a little bit about the technological inventions of the Han people, but there's still a lot I haven't said."

"Why are you running?"

"We are talking about two cents..."

Luo Hui is very sharp-tongued.

The reporter who asked the question was speechless after a flurry of remarks, while other invited guests and reporters burst into laughter.

The reporter, who had been filled with indignation just now and had a righteous look on his face, fled in panic at the urging of his colleagues.

But he didn't shut up.

He continued to talk to the invited guests and reporters: "WeChat's positioning is different from international Internet companies such as Twitter and Facebook."

"They only do online community communication ecology."

“The most important function of WeChat is to connect online and offline to facilitate communication and life.”

"in short."

"WeChat is the way of life in the mobile Internet era."

"It is a comprehensive service APP including social networking, mobile payment, and work communication. It is a super application."

“It is no exaggeration to say that with WeChat, you no longer need any extra social apps on your phone.”

“WeChat can provide you with everything.”

"From today on."

"WeChat will quickly add various booking functions at a monthly update rate, so stay tuned."

real or fake?

Is WeChat so scary?

After hearing Luo Hui's heroic words, the invited guests and reporters in the audience were once again drawn back to WeChat itself, which was originally led astray by the Lighthouse reporter.

After successfully diverting his attention, Luo Hui nodded slightly and signaled Ren Chengwen, who was mixed in the crowd, that he could choose the next reporter to ask questions.

With reporters from the two major underworld media causing trouble, Ren Chengwen also learned well and never gave the microphone to Western media reporters.

These grandsons are nothing.

Talk nonsense with your eyes open.

——Making trouble.

Rather than wasting time on them, it is better to give the media from friendly countries more opportunities to ask questions.

Of course, we can’t keep the financial tycoons sitting in the front row waiting.

Three more reporters were arranged to ask questions in succession. After answering almost all questions about WeChat's development prospects, Luo Hui announced the end of the reporter's Q&A session.

The invited guests were cordially invited to enter the hotel's bar to attend the business cocktail party that had been prepared long ago.

The so-called cocktail party.

In fact, it is an opportunity for invited prospective investors to communicate in advance, and also to prepare for the second round of financing plan.

Well, the US$50 billion investment from the Qatar Investment Authority controlled by Ben Seni is also included in the second round of financing plan.

They are a super financial consortium.

There are privileges wherever you go, and Luo Hui is no exception.

Other ordinary consortiums such as Sequoia Capital do not have such good treatment. They must communicate with each other first and form an investment group before they can participate in the second round of financing plan.

"Mr. Luo, this is Mr. Sun. He came specially to attend the press conference and is very optimistic about the future of WeChat."

Enter the bar.

With a smile on his face, Jack Ma brought his financial backer Sun Zhengyi to get acquainted with him.

"Hi Mr. Sun!"

Seeing Xiaozhi...Luo Hui felt an unspeakable disgust in his heart, but he had to give Jack some face and maintain basic courtesy.

He also knew.

This is the biggest financial backer of Jack Horse, and he is also one of the noble people who promoted Jack Horse to become international.

However, neither WeChat nor ByteDance has any intention of relying on the power of Western capital.

He just maintained basic courtesy and simply shook hands to show courtesy, without any intention of in-depth communication.

pity.However, Son didn't pay attention to the right hand that he quickly took away, and pulled it with a serious look: "Young man, your words are very good. It makes people feel like they are in the future world three to five years later."

"I like you!"

"Mr. Ma has introduced to me that you are the person most likely to become a new giant in the mobile Internet era."

"..."

You continue to praise.

I listened slowly.

Facing the flood of flattery, Luo Hui remained motionless, folding his arms and pretending to listen in an attitude of neither alienation nor intimacy.

no way.

Jack Ma, the major shareholder, must be given enough face, and he must not be left unable to step down.

"Rosan."

Seeing that the young man in front of him was still indifferent, Son Zhengyi stopped flattering and started to get down to business: "I am ready to invest one billion US dollars to invest in WeChat, but I am not interested in Class B shares."

"Must hold original shares."

"Losang won't refuse my reasonable request, right?"

I'm not Jack Ma!

There is no shortage of money on hand either.

How could it be possible to easily redeem the original shares to Xiaori?
Luo Hui shook his head without thinking: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, the original share structure has been determined, and there is no room for increase in holdings. This morning, His Highness Ben Saini injected US$50 billion into WeChat, but only received 8% of Class B shares. "

"You received US$50 billion in financing?"

Jack Ma was shocked.

He looked at Luo Hui in disbelief, afraid of missing any subtle expression.

Last night he visited in person but failed to get investment, so he just recommended WeChat.

did not expect.

This little guy with no hair on his face actually raised US$50 billion in financing in one fell swoop.

Converted into soft sister coins, nearly 400 billion!

"Yes, to be precise, it received a capital injection from the Qatar Investment Authority, not Mr. Ben Seni's private investment."

Luo Hui responded with a big smile, which was also a reminder: Who would care about the sparrow legs in their childhood when they have bigger thick legs to hold them?
"Rosanne!"

Son Zhengyi frowned slightly, then quickly showed a kind smile: "You are new to the mall, so you probably don't know the meaning behind investment, right?"

"Please give me Mr. Sun's advice."

Luo Hui pretended not to understand anything and led Sun Zhengyi to pretend to be sexy.

"Financing not only solves the funding gap for enterprises, but also provides a good opportunity for enterprises to expand market channels."

"What channels can Mr. Sun provide me?"

"Of course it's the North American market! Luo Sang may not understand. I have many friends in the North American market and can help Luo Sang's WeChat enter the North American market."

"What a coincidence! His Highness Ben Seni also said something similar to me. Moreover, major investment institutions in Qatar and the Middle East have more friends in the North American and European markets. They even have a greater say!"

“Rosang’s second round of financing also includes other Middle Eastern investment institutions?”

"Not necessarily. Mr. Ben Seni is only responsible for the introduction. Who knows whether it will be successful or not."

"I'm sorry, Luosang!"

Sun Zhengyi suddenly stood up and nodded sternly to Luo Hui to apologize: "It was Sun who was abrupt. Since His Highness Ben Saini didn't ask for original shares, and I don't ask for original shares, please allow me to participate in the B round of financing." .”

I'm just making a big show out of the tiger's skin.

Look, I was scared to death.

Luo Hui was also shocked when he saw Sun Zhengyi's performance, but the expression on his face remained stable: "Welcome Mr. Sun to participate in WeChat's second round of financing."

"Thank you, Rosang!"

Son stood at attention again and nodded like a primary school boy.

Just a bow.

It's a pity that Luo Hui has been waiting for him for a long time, and he didn't continue to chase him.

He politely said goodbye and went to find other consortiums to communicate with.

"You're not bragging, are you?"

Jack Ma did not follow Sun Zhengyi, but still stayed where he was and asked in a low voice.

"The understanding agreement has been signed and the money has arrived. The specific number of shares that can be given to him can only be determined after the actuary calculates the repayment."

You can't hide this kind of thing.

Luo Hui told the truth.

"You boy... you are so lucky! If I had gotten the investment from the Middle Eastern prince earlier, I wouldn't have been led away by my little life."

Jack Ma showed unabashed envy.

Son is right.

Finding investors is not just about filling a funding gap.

It also depends on personal connections.

The stronger the personal connections of major shareholders, the brighter the future of the company.

In the two major hunting grounds of North America and Europe, the Middle Eastern princes who are willing to spend money have a great say.

Far more wild than the path taken by Masayoshi Son and others.

People can go straight to the top and solve the trouble of entering the North American and European markets from the source.

and.

The Middle East market is also one of the most important markets.

With the prince giving the green light, everything can be done easily.

With the endorsement of the Qatar Investment Authority, WeChat can now take over the Middle East market.

Get the mobile payment licenses of various countries in the Middle East before all other Internet companies.

of course.

If we want to enter the North American and European markets, we will have to carry out multiple activities and spend money to pave the way.
