Rebirth of the Wild Age

Lao Ma flew to Singapore soon to participate in the Asian E-Commerce Conference. He was a "Chinese representative" specially invited by the organizer.

If nothing happens, the old horse will shine brightly in this conference. When participants from other countries speak, they must talk about Amazon and analyze the US Internet over and over again. The old man said directly after the stage that Asians should do e-commerce that fits the realities of Asia, and that the American one is not suitable for Asia.

Then, Mr. Ma analyzed the differences between the Asian and North American markets in detail, and talked about the situation in various regions in Asia. The applause greeted the audience and was targeted by some international venture capital firms.

In other words, Alibaba has already gained a reputation in the industry without registering a company. Every time the data of this website increases by an order of magnitude, it is always followed by interested people, and it was reported by the American media within half a year. This is how Cai Chongxin learned about Alibaba. When he came to China, he made a special inspection and finally resigned to join with a high salary. The old horse team.

There were still 20 days before the Spring Festival, Song Weiyang continued to stay in the capital and invited Zhang Chaoyang and Ding Ming out for a meal.

"Boss, this is Gu Yongjiang." Zhang Chaoyang introduced.

When he was young, Gu Yongjiang was very thin, with a long face and small head, and his suit looked a little loose. He couldn't help but twist his mouth when he laughed, which is the kind of "evil smile" described in the description, which belongs to the bad look that girls like: "Boss Song, hello, long admiration for the name!"

Is this teasing me?

Song Weiyang got goosebumps all over by the other party's evil smile, shook hands and said, "Hello."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "I know Lao Gu in the United States. He served as vice president of China at Wells Fargo Group last year, specializing in investment in media, entertainment and industrial projects. Sohu is now growing and desperately needs a big housekeeper, so I So I invited Lao Gu."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Welcome to join."

Song Weiyang really welcomes Gu Yongjiang to join the post. It is true that Zhang Chaoyang's management ability is a bit choking at this stage. And Gu Yong will join Sohu in the role, one is a professional manager, the other is a financial controller, and the third is a skillful financing hand, which has almost carried the entire company up.

Gu Yong will have a drink of red wine and talk about his future work deployment:

First, recruit management and finance talents. In the past, Sohu was mostly technical and content personnel, and there was a shortage of management and financial personnel. Now the recruitment of Gu Yong will have basically been completed.

Second, improve the administrative and financial management systems. In Zhang Chaoyang's hands, Sohu's administrative management is very arbitrary, and there is no budget for spending money. Gu Yongjiang thinks this is very informal.

Third, open up new revenue points. Sohu now relies on financing and advertising fees, which is not conducive to long-term development.

Fourth, seek continued financing and listing.

Although Gu Yongjiang didn't speak thoroughly and saved Zhang Chaoyang's face, Song Weiyang could fully understand it. He even wanted to kick Zhang Chaoyang and let Gu Yong preside over the overall situation in the future, because at least Gu Yongjiang's development ideas are clear, and Zhang Chaoyang always sees one step at a time.

Of course, Zhang Chaoyang also has his own advantages, his vision is very precise.

In history, Sohu was half-dead by Zhang Chaoyang. The main reason was that the condition after listing was not good, and the pressure from shareholders and underwriters was too great. Zhang Chaoyang is also a "talkative". He can't stand the pressure of capital and can only continuously abandon long-term investment projects and obtain short-term benefits instead.

In fact, as long as Zhang Chaoyang survives his death, those shareholders and underwriters can't help him, but he just can't do it!

Li Yanhong held it, Xiao Ma also held it, and Ma Xiaoyun said nothing more.

Historically, the day that Gu Yong would announce his departure from Sohu, Sohu's stock price plummeted. The reason why Gu Yongjiang left is probably because of differences with Zhang Chaoyang in the direction of the company's development. Their personalities and working styles are completely different.

Gu Yongjiang smiled and said: "I am going to Wall Street again after the Spring Festival to complete the third round of financing and listing."

"Personally, I can invest another 10 million yuan." Song Weiyang thought for a while and said that after he sold office buildings to invest in Huawei, he still had some money left.

"Then I will let someone make a financing contract when I go back." Gu Yongjiang is still smiling, smiling when he talks and drinks, as if his laughing nerves have been out of control.

Song Weiyang said: "Strive to be able to list Sohu before 2000."

Gu Yongjiang asked: "Why is it so urgent?"

"U.S. Internet stocks have bubbled a long time ago, and I'm afraid the bubble will be burst." Song Weiyang told the truth.

Gu Yongjiang was silent for a few seconds before suddenly smiling and said, "Boss Song has a precise vision."

The U.S. investment community now has two views on the Internet:

First, the Internet has only just emerged, and stocks can go up for ten years. This is for investors and stockholders.

Second, the Internet bubble burst sooner or later. This is the consensus of those who are sober-minded, but people are still betting that this bubble can continue to persist for two or three years.

Zhang Chaoyang asked: "Is the Internet bubble really going to burst?"

Gu Yongjiang shook his head and said: "I don't know, but it must be broken. It may be one year, two years, or five years. This prediction is based on basic financial common sense, because 99% of the Internet is now Companies, apart from financing and listing, have no ability to make money. Investors and stockholders cannot throw money in indefinitely. When they lose patience, it is when the Internet bubble bursts. I don’t think so by myself~www .readwn.com~I have been in venture capital for several years, and the industry has reached a consensus on Internet investment."

"Then why are venture capital companies so happy?" Ding Ming asked.

Gu Yongjiang said: “Because investing in the Internet has quick results and great returns, at least in the current situation, there is no worry about finding a successor. If one day, you find that many venture capital companies have begun to sell Internet stocks in large quantities. The bubble is about to burst, and venture capital firms are eager to leave the market."

Ding Ming was a little anxious: "What about my Sogou search?"

Gu Yongjiang smiled and said: "Don't panic. This year and next year should be no problem. The venture capital industry is optimistic about the Internet as a whole. Since they are optimistic, then it must be good, at least on the surface."

Song Weiyang also said: "The profit environment for Sogou Search is not yet mature. When the Internet becomes popular in China, it will be the time when Sogou Search shines, just like Google is developing rapidly in the United States. So, Ding Ming, you will continue steadily. For development, don’t think about financing and going public, we will slowly build up search engines."

"Okay." Ding Ming can only continue to develop wretchedly.

Song Weiyang suddenly said: "Lao Zhang, I heard that you have contact with people in Beijing, and recommend me someone who knows antiques."

"There are a lot of antiques in Beijing. I really know one, but I'm not too familiar with it. I only ate with friends." Zhang Chaoyang said.

Song Weiyang said: "I plan to buy a courtyard house in the capital. It must have a historical heritage."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "I'll help you ask."

After making a few consecutive phone calls, my friend asked my friend, Zhang Chaoyang finally wanted to call the other's mobile phone number: "Mr. Ma, this is Zhang Chaoyang, the one from Sohu...Yes, we had dinner together, and Lao Li was also... my friend I want to buy a courtyard house in the capital, but ordinary people don’t like it. I want to buy some with a vintage...no problem, okay, then we will see you tomorrow!"
