Chen Xiao said: "Yahoo Xia Guo and Yahoo Toyo are in a parallel relationship. SoftBank, which came this time, has more than 30% of the shares in Yahoo Toyo."
"Mr. Wang and I are in Suhang City now. Please invite them to Suhang City."
Chen Xiao turned to Wang Xiang and said: "Immediately call Luo Ning (Director of Changtian Technology Office) to let her go to Suhang, and also ask Song Yi to prepare and find a hotel with a better conference room... Crocodile wants
coming."
Chen Xiao has always had a cautious and welcoming attitude towards capital.
On the one hand, it is because by allowing capital to participate in the development of Changtian Technology, Changtian Technology can introduce funds very well.
Funds are of great use. Whether it is expanding a factory or conducting scientific research, money is indispensable at all times.
For example, when Changtian Technology was just developing, IDG was introduced because of lack of funds.
But Chen Xiao's control of equity is just right.
Actively divested Yuedong Internet, so that even if IDG can occupy 15% of the shares of Yuedong Internet, it will not affect the overall layout of Changtian Technology.
On the one hand, if capital is not used properly, it will be counterattacked by capital.
To put it simply, give up too many shares and control rights of Changtian Technology, turning Changtian Technology into a tool for capital.
The most classic example is that Wozniak, the founder of Apple, sold his shares in Apple at a low price to obtain funds. The final result was that he lost control of Apple.
Apple's other founder, Steve Jobs, sold his shares at a low price and also lost control of Apple.
Don't talk about the far ones, just talk about the near ones.
SoftBank spent 20 million yuan to acquire nearly 40% of Ali's shares, and this share increased 2,900 times in the following decades.
SoftBank has also become Ali's largest shareholder, but founder Feng Yun is not.
Changtian Technology welcomes capital, but treats capital with caution.
After Luo Ning got the news, he immediately rushed from Jiangzhou to Suhang City to prepare for this meeting.
With the help of Yahoo Xia Guo, SoftBank's team determined the time for the meeting.
It was also a coincidence that SoftBank was busy helping Ali get out of the financial crisis during this period, so their team was originally in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
This time, SoftBank attaches great importance to the cooperation with Changtian Technology.
So this time it was Xue Cun, the president and partner of SoftBank Xia Guo District, who came to negotiate.
SoftBank did not ask Changtian Technology to prepare the venue. Instead, it sent an invitation letter to Changtian Technology, inviting Changtian Technology to a private club in the middle of West Lake for a gathering.
After Wang Xiang received the invitation letter, he handed it directly to Chen Xiao for advice.
Chen Xiao looked at the gilded invitation and said with a smile: "There are some things we have to learn from excellent companies."
Wang Xiang asked Song Yi and Luo Ning who were busy around him: "Do you know why SoftBank took the initiative to send me an invitation letter?"
Song Yi shook her head and said she didn't know.
Song Yi has only just started working. Although she has made great progress in business, she has too little experience in these matters and does not think too deeply about them.
Luo Ning has been following Chen Xiao for many years. She thought for a while and said: "This is mainly anti-customer. The private club in the middle of the West Lake is SoftBank's home court."
"I have read many books on investment strategies. These overseas investment institutions are very concerned about the negotiation venue. To put it more rationally, they believe in Feng Shui."
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "That's the truth."
Wang Xiang was preparing all the information about SoftBank in recent years. He took a look and Chen Xiao said, "Then are we going to the meeting?"
Chen Xiao asked jokingly: "How many times has Brother Xiang been to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and how many times has he been to West Lake?"
Wang Xiang thought for a while and said: "I came here once when I was in college. I came here four or five times intermittently because of business discussions at work. I came to West Lake three times."
Chen Xiao asked again: "Have Brother Xiang ever been to the middle of the West Lake?"
Wang Xiang shrugged and said, "That's not true. The center of the West Lake is not a scenic spot. It seems that ordinary tourists can't go up."
Chen Xiao said: "Yes, the small islands in the west and the center are forbidden to ordinary tourists, but the rules are made for ordinary people. Didn't you see that there are private clubs here and they sent us invitations?
"
"I haven't been to the island in the middle of West Lake for so long. Let's take this opportunity to go and experience it."
That's how things were settled.
Three days later, Chen Xiao, Wang Xiang, Luo Ning and Song Yi, as well as two bodyguards, contacted a speedboat according to the phone number given in the invitation letter and headed to a small island somewhere in the middle of Hu Center in West Lake.
As soon as he landed, security personnel conducted questioning and security checks on Chen Xiaodu.
After seeing the invitation letter Wang Xiang took out, I let him go.
In such a formal occasion, Song Yi and others couldn't help but be a little speechless.
Song Yi complained: "I'm afraid we won't be so strict when we go to the airport to fly, right?"
As soon as we landed, everyone's eyes were really opened.
Is Chen Xiao rich now?
It's quite rich, after all, Changtian Technology's annual revenue can reach hundreds of millions of yuan.
Chen Xiao is also a well-known big boss, and Angda and Shenchuan, which he controls, are both big companies.
But neither Chen Xiao nor Wang Xiang felt that they were rich people when they saw the scenery in the center of the island.
The luxurious Chinese garden decoration, the pillar capitals and stone lions at the entrance are all very elegant.
After entering the door, walking around the alley, you suddenly see a cave. It is a large yard connected by a lake (small lake) and a mountain (rockery). The few bonsai in the yard may cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions.
The style of Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens is brought to the extreme here, low-key yet elegant and luxurious.
"Mr. Wang, hello, hello! We have met!" The speaker was Xie Tao, President of Yahoo Xiaguo.
The two last met at the Xiaguo Internet High-Level Forum in Yanjing.
Wang Xiang immediately shook hands with Xie Tao, exchanged greetings, and introduced: "This is our Mr. Chen."
Xie Tao looked Chen Xiao up and down, then immediately raised his hands to meet him and said: "Mr. Chen, you have always been a rumor in the world. I only heard about your actions but never saw you. Today I finally met you!"
Chen Xiao smiled and shook hands with Xie Tao.
Although Changtian Technology has made some achievements, it is still more than an order of magnitude behind the Internet giant Yahoo.
Xie Tao should be considered an old man, but Chen Xiao is still neither humble nor overbearing.
Xie Tao said: "Everyone, please follow me in."
When he walked into the banquet hall, Chen Xiao didn't recognize anyone else.
But Chen Xiao saw at a glance, sitting in the center of the banquet hall on the left, a thin middle-aged man - Feng Yun.
Chen Xiao didn't expect that he would actually meet the senior figure from before his rebirth on this occasion!
Feng Yun was a person who was admired, ridiculed, and even had nothing to do with me by later generations. There were still quite a lot of controversies.
But Chen Xiao still has the same point of view. He cannot look at the problem without looking at history, nor can he look at the problem from God's perspective.
At least at a certain stage, Xia's Internet ecological development and the changes in ordinary people's lifestyles are absolutely inseparable from this person!
