Chapter 431 QQ
Ding Zigao pulled Yang Qianhua into the crowd, ignored the reporters and cameras, and came to Li Yiwen.
He knew very well that if he wanted to be famous, he had to lose his shame. The more shameless he was, the faster he would become famous.
Why come to the mainland to promote? Isn't it just to increase the popularity?
Given the circumstances, what could be more sensational than barging into an official interview?
What's more, you might even take this opportunity to meet a wealthy man, and who knows, you can become rich overnight. It's like killing two birds with one stone.
"Hello, Mr. Li. We are from Huaxing Records. This is the popular artist Ms. Yang Qianhua..."
The ongoing interview was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of two people and had to be stopped.
"Oh my god, why are you here again?"
"Are you crazy about being famous?"
"Don't make trouble."
The staff of the provincial TV station had finally gotten into the mood, but the show was disrupted halfway through. This made them so angry that they started cursing without thinking.
Even Li Zixian, who always appears gentle and elegant, frowned deeply and looked unhappily at the two people who broke into the camera.
Standing in front of Li Yiwen, Yang Qianhua immediately behaved shyly, like a little bird, and her eyes seemed to be emitting electricity.
Unfortunately, Li Yiwen's gaze only stayed on her for less than half a second before he looked away and said to his agent, "Hello, I'm Li Yiwen from Future Capital. Nice to meet you two."
When he heard that he was from a record company, Li Yiwen was just slightly stunned, and did not show any disgust. Because Lu Yiming was currently working on some audio-related projects, Li Yiwen quickly thought of this aspect. However, in order not to delay the trip, Li Yiwen just took out a business card and said, "I have something else to do today. This is my business card. Let's make an appointment later."
Ding Zigao was very happy to see Li Yiwen was so easy to talk to. After taking the business card, he immediately said, "Okay, okay, then Mr. Li, you're busy now. We'll treat you to a meal when you're free."
After saying that, he stepped aside.
Ding Zigao is very experienced and knows that it would be impolite to continue pestering her and would cause resentment. Now that he has the contact information, he can slowly get in touch with her.
After sending the two away, Li Yiwen looked at Li Zixian again and said with a smile, "Reporter Li, let's continue."
"What kind of person is that? Really."
Li Zixian complained, calmed herself down and continued her interview.
Ding Zigao took the business card and walked Yang Qianhua to the side, whispering, "I got the contact information. You should take the initiative. This person is very young but has a huge fortune. His background must be extraordinary."
On the other hand, Li Yiwen accepted interviews from many people before he got rid of their entanglement and left the airport.
Outside the airport, Li Yiwen saw Lu Yiming who came to pick him up, and Li Zixian who had just finished interviewing him.
Lu Yiming teased, "Cousin, you have returned home in glory this time. How is it? Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Li Yiwen rolled his eyes fiercely and complained: "You almost scared me to death just now, you know? Why are there so many media reporters here?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "This is all thanks to reporter Li. You have to thank her tonight. You should at least treat her to a meal to show your sincerity."
After saying that, Li Zixian walked forward and looked at Li Yiwen with a smile: "Hi, Mr. Li, we meet again."
Today, Li Zixian is wearing an apricot-colored suit and a pair of high-heeled shoes in the same color. She looks dignified, elegant, and graceful, yet mature and graceful, which is very eye-catching.
There were too many people and it was too chaotic just now, so Li Yiwen didn't observe carefully. Now that he took a closer look, he suddenly felt his heart beating faster and his Adam's apple moving.
This face, this figure, and this dress, it can be said that they all suit Li Yiwen's taste.
Facing the smiling Li Zixian, Li Yiwen, who claimed to have seen the world, began to stutter.
“Okay…Okay.”
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
Early the next morning, Lu Yiming called Li Yiwen to have morning tea together.
With the continuous development of the mainland economy, the Pearl River Delta region has rapidly prospered, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going, the locals also making money, and even more people coming to have morning tea.
Lu Yiming poured a cup of tea for Li Yiwen and said cheerfully, "How's the progress?"
Li Yiwen said: "What progress? Didn't I just report to you about the company's affairs?"
Lu Yiming looked disgusted and said, "Who asked about your company? I was asking how you and Li Zixian are doing. How long has it been? Why haven't you succeeded?"
“Ah, this…”
Li Yiwen is a smart businessman, but a rookie in love. Lu Yiming now wonders how Li Yiwen managed to trick his wife before his rebirth. Is it because of the language barrier that brings a mysterious buff?
"Cousin, you can't do this. If you keep on doing this, when will I get another cousin-in-law?"
Lu Yiming said: "When it comes to chasing girls, you have to be proactive, be bolder, and be thick-skinned. Good girls are afraid of clinging to men, so you have to take the initiative to have a chance."
Li Yiwen glared at Lu Yiming fiercely: "You guy, you talk so much, have you ever been in love?"
Lu Yiming spread his hands and said, "If our country didn't have a complete legal system, I would have children now."
Li Yiwen was suddenly speechless.
"I'm telling you, you have to take the girl to heart, show some concern for her, and give her a huge sum of money. What girl can't you pursue? You're not a child anymore. If you can't get married, and then you blame me for having too many work arrangements, I won't admit it."
Li Yiwen couldn't help scratching his hair: "Can we not talk about this for now?"
Lu Yiming curled his lips and said, "Okay, let's talk about something else. After breakfast, accompany me to meet someone."
Li Yiwen asked curiously, "Who is it? You have to come in person."
Lu Yiming laughed and scolded: "You make me sound like an emperor, but I am obviously very approachable."
Li Yiwen said disdainfully: "Don't come on, you are so lazy. It's probably harder to see you than to see the emperor."
"By the way, who are you going to see?"
"Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong, they came from Pengcheng to ask for investment."
"It turned out to be the two of them."
Li Yiwen still had some impression of these two people, because Lu Yiming had paid close attention to the development of Penguin Company before and was obviously optimistic about their prospects.
At the entrance of Tianhong Building, Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong looked around.
Ma Teng was a little confused and asked, "Are you sure this is really the place?"
Zhang Zhidong said with great certainty: "Yes, it is here."
He took out a piece of paper from the black leather bag under his armpit and said, "Look, it says Tianhong Building."
Tianhong Building has a total of sixty floors and is three hundred meters high. It is one of the landmark buildings in Baiyun City.
Zhang Zhidong said with emotion: "Boss Lu is really rich. He bought a building directly for his company as its headquarters. Do you think it is possible for us to own a headquarters building of our own in this lifetime?"
Ma Teng seemed confident: "Don't worry, there will be bread and buildings."
Zhang Zhidong smiled and said, "In addition to these, we can also have a private jet."
"That's right. When we have enough money, we will buy private jets, one for each of us."
Both of them read today's newspaper and knew that Li Yiwen had made big news as soon as he returned to China, so they immediately couldn't sit still. They drove from Pengcheng to Baiyun after breakfast, wanting to meet Lu Yiming.
"Come on, let's go in."
The two walked into the lobby on the first floor, and the front desk clerk politely asked, "Welcome to Future Capital. Do you have an appointment?"
Ma Teng said: "Yes, I am Ma Teng, he is Zhang Zhidong, we have already made an appointment with Mr. Lu before we came."
"Okay, please follow me."
The front desk clerk took the two of them to the exclusive elevator and sent them to the top floor.
Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong were very envious of the front desk clerk's words and actions. Compared with their makeshift team, Future Capital showed a sense of formality and professionalism from the inside out.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang are here."
Lu Yiming, who was browsing the web on his computer, said, "Please ask them to come in."
When the two came in, Lu Yiming stood up and said with a smile: "Boss Ma, Boss Zhang, I haven't seen you for a while, you are still as charming as ever."
Zhang Zhidong complimented, "Boss Lu has gone one step further and bought a private jet. He is really the envy of others."
Ma Teng looked around Lu Yiming's luxurious office, his eyes full of envy.
"Please take a seat. What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"
"All right."
"Then let's drink tea. Recently, a friend gave me a box of dragon's blood. It is said that drinking this is good for the cardiovascular system."
The secretary in cheongsam came in and made tea for everyone, while Lu Yiming started talking about business.
"You two came to see me today. Have you thought it through?"
Zhang Zhidong handed the business plan to Lu Yiming and said, "We have developed a software called OICQ, which is an Internet-based instant messaging network tool that we developed independently. We currently have 50,000 registered users and are developing well. The only problem is that we don't have the money to buy new servers, otherwise the number of new users could double."
It has to be said that both of them are extremely shrewd people. QICQ has been developing silently until it has achieved certain results and encountered difficulties that it could not solve, and then it came to Lu Yiming for financing.
This not only highlights their abilities, but also allows them to sell at a higher price, killing two birds with one stone.
Lu Yiming casually flipped through the business plan written by Zhang Zhidong. Most of the content in it was useless. After all, Penguin was just starting out, and even Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong himself didn't know which direction the company's future should go.
It has to be said that there was nothing impressive in the business plan written by Zhang Zhidong. The biggest problem was that there was no clear "profit point".
The purpose of doing business is to make money. If a business fails to make money, you will not be able to convince investors even if you talk your mouth off.
Now he finally understood why QQ once wanted to sell itself but no one bought it.
People these days still don’t understand the value of online social networking.
But precisely because of this, Lu Yiming had the opportunity to pick up a big bargain.
Seeing that Lu Yiming threw away the plan he had spent so much time writing, Zhang Zhidong felt a chill in his heart, and Ma Teng also had a bad feeling.
Zhang Zhidong asked anxiously, "Mr. Lu, is there something wrong with the plan I wrote?"
Lu Yiming said bluntly: “Well, it’s a big problem.”
"this……"
Zhang Zhidong admitted that he was not a newcomer and that this was not his first time writing a plan. Moreover, he had spent many days thinking about this plan and revised it many times before coming up with what he considered to be the most mature plan.
As a result, the problem is huge?
Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong looked at each other and saw depression and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Since Lu Yiming said so, the investment is most likely to fail.
Just as the two were about to get up and say goodbye, Lu Yiming said, "Although this proposal is poorly done, your OICQ is quite interesting. I have decided to invest in your project. How much? Name your price."
Lu Yiming's words were a complete turn of events for Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong. Ma Teng blurted out, "One million!"
This was what he had discussed with Zhang Zhidong before he came. They asked for one million, and then Lu Yiming bargained for half. Five hundred thousand was exactly their desired price.
When it comes to doing business, he still understands the most basic skill of asking for a high price and paying the low price.
However, just when Ma Teng was about to bargain with Lu Yiming with great confidence, Lu Yiming said, "One million is nothing. I'll give you six million."
"ha?"
"Six million?"
Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Lu Yiming said calmly: "Six million, I want 60% of Penguin's shares. If you agree, we can sign the contract now."
The total assets of Penguin Company now do not even amount to 600,000 yuan. It cannot even afford a cleaning lady, and even the cleaning has to be done in turns by several partners.
To put it bluntly, after hearing Lu Yiming's offer, they all wanted to sell the company directly.
That’s six million!
Seeing that the two were silent, Lu Yiming immediately smiled: "Why? Are you not satisfied with the price?"
Ma Teng quickly said, "No, no."
Then, he asked cautiously: "Mr. Lu, I want to know why you are willing to offer such a high price. Penguin Company is not worth the money at all."
"You're right, Penguin isn't worth the money right now, but you are."
Lu Yiming looked at Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong calmly and said to them, "I give you this money because I hope you can use it to accelerate the development of QICQ. I don't have any profit requirements for now. The only requirement is that there must be a large number of registered users and active users. So after you take the money, hurry up and buy servers to improve the quality of network services."
Then, Lu Yiming said, "Also, change your name as soon as possible. Don't think I don't know that your software is a copy of ICQ. It's ok to have the same functions, but you didn't even change the name. Be careful of being sued for copyright infringement."
Ma Teng argued: "How can something on the Internet be considered infringement?"
Zhang Zhidong nudged Ma Teng with his elbow, and Ma Teng quickly said, "But since Mr. Lu has said so, we will definitely change it. Mr. Lu, do you have any good suggestions?"
Lu Yiming said: "Let's call it QQ."
