Rebirth of the Wild Age

In the evening, Song Weiyang and Xiao Ma’s car carried several shareholders of Tencent out for dinner.

Xiao Ma looked at Hummer in surprise and said: "Old Song, you don't usually buy goods, how do you buy a pickup?"

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Don't you think pickup trucks are very manly?"

Brother Xiao Ma said: "I just want to paint your car's butt, and write the words '1 ton load.'"

"Hahahaha, you are also joking." Song Weiyang laughed.

Zhang Zhidong circled the car and made no secret of his envy: "This car is really majestic!"

"When the company gets bigger in the future, I will buy one too. It must be a face to drive out." Xu Chenhua said, patting the body.

Hong Weiguo and Song Weiyang sat in the front row, Zhang Zhidong and Xu Chenhua immediately got into the back row, and the blind monk and Chen Yidan could only ride in Brother Xiao Ma's car.

Zhang Zhidong stroked the seat leather and said, "It's leather, it feels great!"

"It's not real leather, it's artificial leather." Song Weiyang said.

Xu Chenhua was surprised: "Is such a good car made of artificial leather?"

Song Weiyang said: "The artificial leather made of Alcantara is Italian and more expensive than real leather. I spent $50,000 to replace it with the original factory."

"Nice!" Xu Chenhua sat with his **** bumped twice, not knowing whether it was a psychological effect, anyway, he felt that this seat was very comfortable.

The car drove slowly in Huaqiangbei, the sky was getting dark, the lights were on, the hustle and bustle was like daytime, and the voices were full of people.

Xu Chenhua looked at the street scene outside the car window and said with emotion: "Huaqiangbei is getting more and more lively. There were not so many people at night before."

"Next year may be more lively, more and more counterfeit mobile phones are made." Zhang Zhidong said.

Xu Chenhua smiled bitterly: "At this rate of development, China may have a mobile phone in the future. Sooner or later, it will be a dead end for us to build a paging system."

Yes, in Huaqiangbei at the end of 1998, some people were already making fake phones!

In the past, it was still a factory area, but it was in 1998 that Huaqiangbei began to transform into a commercial street. In the electronic product sales industry, sparks have sprung up in the summer, and it has been burning vigorously in a few months.

By 1999, Huaqiangbei's electronic products will start to catch fire. At that time, global mobile phone sales were 280 million units, and there were 700,000 counterfeit mobile phones made in China, most of which came from Huaqiangbei.

To what extent was Huaqiangbei’s fire around 2000?

A bigger storefront would employ 60 salespersons. From nine o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the morning, the three-shift system rotates the delivery. Distributors from all over the country line up outside the store from morning to night.

At that time, a shop in Huaqiangbei of less than 10 square meters would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy. And this is still the market price. You may not be able to buy a shop if you have the money, and you have to spend millions of dollars to let others change hands.

So, if you were reborn in the deep city in 1998, you have 1 million yuan in your hand and don't know what to do. Then don't rush to invest in Tencent, buy 20 shops in Huaqiangbei that are only a few square meters away, rent them out for two years and then resell them, 1 million yuan can become more than 20 million!

The crowd chose a roadside food stall, sat down around a small table, and directly asked the boss to bring in two cases of beer.

Except for Hong Weiguo drinking tea, everyone else was full, and the dishes were served before they were on the table.

"Do!"

Brother Xiao Ma, this super old smoker, hurried to let out the smoke when he put down the cup. He clicked on one himself, happily like a fairy, and said in a cloudless manner: "Talk about business first, then talk about other things. How much does Lao Song plan to invest?"

The other four shareholders also put away other thoughts and looked at Song Weiyang together.

Song Weiyang said: "How about 5 million?"

"Tencent's registered capital is 500,000. In the past few months, the messy revenue is about 400,000. Li Qing has just received an order of 300,000 yuan," said Xiao Ma. "If you invest 5 million, how does this share count? ?"

Yes, how are shares counted?

Song Weiyang can't hold 80% of the shares all at once.

Although Xiao Ma said that Tencent had a revenue of 400,000 in a few months, it actually didn't make any money strictly. Take Tencent’s first business as an example. Hebei Telecom offered 200,000 yuan, and Xiao Ma asked for leave and flew four times before it was negotiated. The round-trip boarding, lodging, air tickets and other costs have exceeded 50,000 yuan.

Moreover, after this business was completed, no other company was willing to buy it. They can only reduce the price to 100,000, 80,000, 60,000...Finally, at a loss, they help people build the network paging system, just to earn a little post-maintenance fee.

Song Weiyang ate a chopsticks and fried Niuhe and said with a smile, "Give me 15% of the shares."

Xiao Ma said: "It seems a little bit missing."

"We have known who and who for several years, so we don't need to care about that." Song Weiyang looked like he was affectionate and righteous.

The five Tencent founders present were very moved. Zeng Liqing said: "Boss Song is righteous, come, this glass of wine to respect Boss Song!"

"It's easy to say." Song Weiyang raised his glass.

"Do!"

5 million, a small amount can be regarded as an emotional investment.

If you want too much shares, these guys probably don't have the enthusiasm for entrepreneurship. It's hard to say whether they can focus on Tencent.

And with the development of Tencent, 5 million funds will not last long, and Song Weiyang will have to invest at that time. By then, it will be time for the brothers to settle the accounts, lest they use Song Weiyang as an ATM, and everything goes according to the procedure. You can get as many shares as you need!

Brother Xiao Ma was very happy: "Since I have money, the company should also move, and change to a larger office."

It is not that Xiao Ma loves face, but that the office he is using now is the property of a Hong Kong city boss. The boss of Hong Kong City is also a pager, and he once digged up Xiao Ma at a high price. After learning that Xiao Ma started his own business, he rented out the small room to Tencent at a low price.

This is obviously also emotional investment, waiting for Tencent to go bankrupt, and then poaching Xiao Ma.

Unexpectedly, Tencent has survived for several months and hasn't collapsed. The boss of Hong Kong City is impatient and has been urging Brother Xiao Ma to move out. Historically, Tencent quickly moved to the next building, with an office area of ​​more than 100 square meters, which is considered to have tripled the size of the company.

Zhang Zhidong said: "Also, we will recruit a few more programmers. Now we are short of manpower."

"Yes, yes, not enough manpower," Zeng Liqing said, "The three of you, quit your job as soon as possible. Now that Boss Song has invested, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat in the future?"

Xiao Ma said: "Programmers are readily available. Old Song still remembers Xiaoguang, Gangzi and Yemao?"

"Remember, they are all station friends at Mazhan, and they used to talk very well." Song Weiyang said.

Xiao Ma said: "They are also unhappy at the unit. As long as Tencent improves, they are definitely willing to join us."

Xiaoguang, Gangzi and Yemao~www.readwn.com~ are the first generation programmers of QQ.

Zhang Zhidong is responsible for project schedule and cost management, Gangzi is responsible for writing the background code, and Xiaoguang and Yemao are responsible for writing the client.

Song Weiyang was most impressed by Night Cat. After this person left the horse station, he set up a site called "Night Cat Inn" and sent emails to let Song Weiyang visit that site often.

In the next period of time, Tencent moved to a new building as a whole, all five founders resigned, and finally started a full-time entrepreneurial career. Three new programmers also arrived one after another, plus five shareholders, the number of employees finally reached eight.

At the end of November, QQ officially launched the public version and started the public beta.

The No. 1 QQ in the public beta was still given to Huazi. The eldest brother of China's Huiduo.com naturally wanted to express his admiration. This guy is working on real estate in Shancheng, and it has been a long time since he bubbling on the Internet, and he has no contact with Song Weiyang.

Xiao Ma is very entrepreneurial, sending emails to former netizens everywhere, and pulling people to download and use QQ.

In order to increase the number of users, Xiao Ma also pretended to be a female netizen and ran to major BBS forums and chat rooms. He first talked to people almost blindly, all kinds of shyness and subtlety, and fascinated the male netizens, and finally said: "Oh, the chat room (BBS forum) is really inconvenient. I know that there is a chat software called QQ, which is not as good as you. Go and download QQ, we will talk to another place."

The legendary women's gangster!

Song Weiyang was thinking there, the QQ public beta came out ahead of time, can Brother Xiao Ma still know his wife through QQ?

Yes, Xiao Ma's wife met on QQ online chat.

As for the so-called Penguin Princess Ma Manlin, she is not the daughter of Brother Xiao Ma, she has already refuted the rumors many times.
