Standing at the entrance of South Beauty Restaurant, Lin Fan looked at the "Facial Makeup" logo on the signboard several times.

He smiled, withdrew his gaze and thoughts, and walked into the restaurant with Zhang Chenguang.

After reporting the private room number to the front desk clerk, the other person led the way and led Lin Fan and Lin Fan to a private room with an elegant and quiet environment.

As soon as Lin Fan entered the box, two middle-aged men wearing glasses greeted him.

"Mr. Lin, nice to meet you!"

The first person to shake hands with Lin Fan was a middle-aged man wearing black T-shirt, wearing glasses, about forty years old, with a loud voice and a hint of Northeastern accent.

"Hello, Mr. Qi!"

Lin Fan shook hands with the other party and looked at the middle-aged man named Qi Xiangdong.

Many people outside the world don’t know that this is the original founder of Qihoo 360.

Another man wearing a red T-shirt is about thirty-five or sixty-six years old.

He waited until Qi Xiangdong finished shaking hands with Lin Fan before he came forward.

"Mr. Lin, hello, I'm Zhou Hongyi."

While Lin Fan shook hands with the other party and exchanged greetings, he looked at the red dress on the other party's body.

It seems that the other party really has a special liking for the color red, otherwise he would not have earned the nickname "Red Cannon".

This man, whom Chen Yizhou calls the smartest person in Hubei Province, is also a first-rate critic, and he is never shy about talking to others.

However, Lin Fan had just returned from the United States and had no grievances with him. He even took the initiative to invite him to dinner. He did not talk nonsense, but greeted Lin Fan politely.

"Why is this?"

Qi Xiangdong looked at Zhang Chenguang.

"This is my assistant, just call me Xiao Zhang."

Seeing that Lin Fan didn't intend to introduce them in detail, Qi Xiangdong and Zhou Hongyi didn't ask further questions, so they just shook hands with Zhang Chenguang, which was regarded as a greeting.

After the four people sat down respectively, Qi Xiangdong opened up the conversation and asked: "Mr. Lin, the transaction between Lin Capital and Ahri should be coming to an end soon, right?"

Qi Xiangdong used to be the general manager of 3721. After 3721 was acquired by Yahoo, he served as the vice president of Yahoo China. The president was Zhou Hongyi.

After receiving the message from Yahoo headquarters, both of them chose to leave their jobs.

However, because I am in a high position, I also know that Lam Capital has also participated in this very large financing and merger.

So Lin Fan didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "The final adjustments have come to an end, and the news will be announced in the near future."

Zhou Hongyi on the side smiled and said: "Yahoo did make a good deal, exchanging Yahoo China for Ali's shares, it's not a loss."

Qi Xiangdong kicked the old guy under the table who was talking too much, hinting that he should stop talking.

This old guy is good at everything except he loves to antagonize the sky, the earth, and the air.

Lin Fan didn't notice the movement under the table, and only saw Qi Xiangdong give Zhou Hongyi a look.

He secretly found it funny.

"I know a little bit about what you two are doing at Yahoo China."

Lin Fan smiled and said: "Foreign-funded enterprises entering China have this common problem. They don't trust the Chinese people and don't think the Chinese people do a good job.

Failure and setbacks are inevitable, and you can’t blame others.

The previous 3721 was quite good, and even I heard the name of this product when I was in the United States."

This is just Lin Fan talking nonsense. He has never heard of 3721 in the United States, but this website still has a certain reputation in China.

Complimenting each other in business can improve favorability and increase the possibility of cooperation. Lin Fan feels that this is really not a rumor.

Soon, Zhou Hongyi, who heard the good words, regarded Lin Fan as a sensible person and started to feel bitter.

"Mr. Lin, you don't know how disgusting Yahoo's headquarters is. It approves tens of thousands of dollars in funding and still asks me to write a discount."

“I think the people at Yahoo are too lazy and don’t have the energy of startup employees, so I propose to revise the performance appraisal.

Hey, guess what? Yahoo employees jumped over the top and reported it to headquarters and sued me."

Zhou Hongyi became more and more angry as she talked, looking like she was blowing her beard and staring.

After such a long time, the other party still hasn't let go, which shows how angry the other party is.

Lin Fan secretly found it funny. Hearing Zhou Hongyi's tone, even if Yang Zhiyuan came out to apologize to him in person, he would not get his forgiveness.

Qi Xiangdong was also a person who had personally experienced these unbearable events, but he was more open-minded than Zhou Hongyi and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, old Zhou, let him let go of the past.

Now that Yahoo China is about to be merged into Ali, there is nothing we can’t let go of.”

Zhou Hongyi said angrily: "You deserve it. If you had listened to me, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Qi Xiangdong frowned, why did he become more and more addicted the more he talked about it?

So Qi Xiangdong quickly raised his glass and changed the topic, "Come on, Old Zhou, let's toast Mr. Lin together. He is in the United States, but he has made us famous as a Chinese Internet person.

Aren’t Americans very arrogant? They claim that Chinese people don’t understand the Internet.

But Mr. Lin taught the Americans a good lesson and also gave Chinese Internet people a sigh of relief..."

Qi Xiangdong has worked for Xinhua News Agency for seventeen years and was promoted to the position of deputy director of the Communications Technology Bureau. He is very eloquent and can praise people in all kinds of ways.

Lin Fan repeatedly expressed his humility.

Interrupted by Qi Xiangdong, Zhou Hongyi also forgot about Yahoo's unhappiness. She raised her wine glass and had a drink with Lin Fan, smiling and saying:

"I, Lao Zhou, don't convince others easily, and Mr. Lin is one of you."

The red-clothed cannon raised his thumb, "It's truly a legend!"

Lin Fan was amused by the formal red cannon, and had no choice but to return the favor: "3721 pioneered Chinese Internet services, making it easier for Chinese netizens to access the Internet, which is also very admirable.

When Chen Yizhou and I had dinner a few days ago, he even praised you as the smartest person in Hubei Province, and Lei Jun was only ranked second."

Zhou Hongyi smiled "hehe" and said, "That boy Chen Yizhou is a big mouth, he dares to say anything."

Lin Fan touched his nose. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say this?

The three of them ate food, drank wine, and talked about the development of the industry. After drinking for three rounds and becoming familiar with each other, Qi Xiangdong asked: "Mr. Lin, you are having a drink with us today. You should have other things to talk about."

Bar?"

Lin Fan waited for the other party to ask this question and nodded, "I heard that President Qi founded a company called Qihoo after he resigned?"

"good!"

Qi Xiangdong and Zhou Hongyi looked at each other, and the former replied calmly.

"search!"

Lin Fan pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at the two of them, and said, "If I guess correctly, you two are still unwilling to accept this market."

Qi Xiangdong didn't know where Lin Fan got such secret information. Instead of telling the truth casually, he was careless:

"Now search is dominated by Baidu, the Internet company with the highest market value in China, who dares to challenge it?

With the support of Lin Capital, Yahoo, and SoftBank, Ali will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the search field.

We at Qihoo have just been established, and we currently want to set up a community, forum, etc.

Now is not the era of WEB 2.0. We are not afraid of your jokes, Mr. Lin, we also want to catch up with the trend."

Lin Fan had no choice but to make it clear, "Community search, I understand, this is looking for blank areas between several companies."

Qi Xiangdong glanced at Zhou Hongyi, who looked innocent. He really didn't reveal this. He and Lin Fan just met for the first time today. Where could he reveal it?

Qi Xiangdong no longer cared about exposing the problems of the project, and forced a smile and asked: "Mr. Lin, I admit, Yahoo is currently working on a small project, which will be officially launched in a few days. What do you want to ask about this?

"

Lin Fan smiled, "I want to invest in you."

After hearing Lin Fan reveal his purpose, Qi Xiangdong had an expression on his face.

Zhou Hongyi didn't interrupt, thinking quietly on the side.

Qi Xiangdong is currently managing Qihoo Company. He has only invested a small amount of money and is currently focusing on angel investment. In addition, he also serves as an investment partner of IDG.

Zhou Hongyi is not particularly optimistic about Qihoo Company at the moment.

Because Baidu and Yahoo China are already very powerful, and Google is about to enter, this track is already extremely crowded.

"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"

The company will let Qi Xiangdong work hard first, and if the business improves later, it won't be too late for him to join full-time.

Now that he heard that Lin Fan was going to invest in Qihoo, he felt quite happy.

He knew how strong Lin Fan's financial resources were. It was definitely good news that Qihu could attract investment from such a golden boy.

It's just that he is shrewd. No matter how happy he is in his heart, he cannot show it on his face, otherwise it will not be conducive to the subsequent negotiations.

Qi Xiangdong and Zhou Hongyi had similar ideas. Knowing that Lin Fan was rich, they were happy inside but did not show it on their faces.
