Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 410 Weakness is the original sin

   "In the field of search engines in the Chinese mainland market, there are two companies that Hard Gold Group has invested in. One is a local company in China, which is NetEase in Guangzhou.

  The second is Yahoo. Also in September last year, Yahoo officially entered the Chinese mainland market, named Yahoo China. When I invest in you, I am undoubtedly making repeated investments.

  The three of you compete in a competition, no matter who loses, it will make my hard gold group suffer losses. This kind of repetition of building wheels is obviously unwise.

   The reason why I am still interested in investing in your company is that the business model you explained earlier can impress me, focus and professionalism. " Kishimoto said eloquently.

   "You want a 40% stake in our Baidu company. Not only me, but even the core members of my team can't accept the price."

   Li Yanhong did not refuse the other party's investment of 10 million US dollars in his company. He started haggling.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto spread his hands and said without a stern smile: "I have a bad problem with being rejected. Of course, you can choose not to accept my conditions.

   However, I will invest this million dollars in your biggest competitor, and even keep adding more. "

   Li Yanhong immediately felt a threat from the opponent's red fruit. Faced with such a situation, he did not get up and walk away.

  In the capital market, that is to rely on strength to speak, weakness is the original sin. At this point, he fully understood things when he was still working in the United States.

  I originally returned from the United States with 1.2 million US dollars to start a business. For ordinary people, this is already an astronomical sum.

   However, for entrepreneurs, this is simply a drop in the bucket. Its own company is like a sampan, and the Hard Gold Group is like an aircraft carrier, which is still nuclear-powered.

   Now is the stage of the bursting of the Internet economic bubble. It is even more difficult for an Internet entrepreneurial enterprise like myself to succeed in financing from the capital market than in the past.

   Li Yanhong's rationality was telling him that even the alliance under the city had to be signed. As Masayoshi Kishimoto said, China Yahoo and NetEase both have search engines.

   Compared to themselves, these two companies also have a first-mover advantage. Especially China Yahoo, in addition to the first-mover advantage, there are huge advantages in technology.

   Not only that, there are many unknown search engine companies like our own company. What he can think of, others can also think of.

   In China, search engines are still a new thing. However, this is nothing new in the United States.

  The reason why I chose this field to start a business was that I wanted to introduce good things from the United States to China. The most important thing is that he is very optimistic about its development prospects.

   This kind of silence in the small conference room is not something that Masayoshi Kishimoto likes. His heart was very peaceful. I have long known that among the BATs in mainland China in the future, the top B will be the weakest one.

   For a period of time, Baidu was the loudest in terms of fame. Its market value has reached a maximum of 100 billion US dollars, and it has hovered in tens of billions of dollars for a long time.

   Alibaba's market value is as high as $500 billion and Tencent's $500 billion market value is evenly divided.

   The strength of these two companies is indistinguishable. Their main operating businesses are different, so that the same investor will not be superimposed. Alibaba is in the field of e-commerce, while Tencent is in the field of online games.

   "You don't need to reply to me right now. Not only can you think about it, but you can also hold a meeting to discuss." Masayoshi Kishimoto broke the silence in the small conference room.

   Li Yanhong could only respond with one "good" word. Who makes "weak countries have no diplomacy"? If your company is small, not only does it face being bullied by big companies at any time, but it also faces the danger of being squeezed or eaten by other homogenized companies at any time.

   In the shopping malls where the strong eat the weak, there are not many small companies like them that can survive. Among them, there are very few that can be bigger and stronger.

  Relying entirely on one's own strength to develop a development is tantamount to fooling around. In the Internet industry, there are not only big fish eating small fish, but also fast fish eating slow fish.

   is currently a new technology. In a year or two, it will be nothing. Situations like this are fairly common in the United States. Even if the current China does not have the speed of upgrading as the United States, it is still undergoing rapid changes.

  Nowadays, people who have successfully studied in the United States and returned to China to start their own businesses are not alone. Nor is he an irreplaceable figure.

  Kishimoto Masayoshi looked up at the wall clock hanging on the wall of the small conference room and said, "Unconsciously, two or three hours passed by like this. It's noon.

  Whether the business between us is successful or not, benevolence and righteousness still have to be there. We, the Hard Gold Group, should do our part in the friendship of the landlords. "

  He paused deliberately when he said this, looked at his left and right sides, and then said: "Since it is you who are in touch, then you will be your company.

   As for the place, it’s still the old place, the Hi-Raku Premium Japanese Restaurant. Let our Chinese guests from afar also have a good taste of the essence of Japanese kaiseki cuisine. "

   Li Yanhong and the other party of course know that kaiseki is a Japanese high-end cuisine. It can be seen from this that the other party did not treat them slowly, but instead showed a kind of attention.

  If the Hard Gold Group really treated them slowly, there would not be even this business dinner. There should not be a few small companies like myself who come to seek investment.

   "Just eat, drink, and play." Kishimoto Masayoshi smiled.

   "Thank you." Li Yanhong expressed his gratitude.

"Let's talk about it when you have a formal intention to sign with me. If there is anything else you need to ask, you can just ask these people who are in contact with you. It's nothing to ask, after all, it's theirs The scope of work." Kishimoto said bluntly.

   Li Yanhong expressed his thanks again: "Thank you."

   "I have other things to do, so let's go ahead." After Masayoshi Kishimoto finished speaking, he stood up. When he stood up, the first conditioned reflex was the subordinates of his hard gold group.

   They stood up one by one in tacit agreement, and bowed 45 degrees to him to say goodbye. Afterwards, Li Yanhong and others also stood up. They are not used to bowing, so they pay attention to the farewell.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi walked out of the small conference room without looking back. The person behind him is still Miku Yamada, the secretary.
