Being fully equipped, there was almost no trouble along the way except for the stewardess.
After leaving the airport, Xiang Yan from "Little Target" was already there to pick him up.
After getting in the car, Jiang Yan immediately took the reports of "Small Target" for more than half a year.
At the end of 1998, Jiang Yan ordered all funds to enter the old and American Internet stock markets.
The total funding at that time was less than US$100 million.
However, the stock market made a lot of profits in the first half of the year, and Jiang Yan collected all the funds from the European and American music circles here. By September, the total funds had reached 250 million US dollars.
In total, it seems that the profit is only a little more than twice as much. This is not like the madness before the Internet bubble burst in the United States at the beginning of the century.
But don’t worry, the old American Internet bubble will officially burst in February next year, and the closer it gets to that time, the crazier it will be.
And now it's September, which is when the drama begins.
In other words, as long as these funds currently bite Cisco, Qualcomm, Amazon, Microsoft and other major Internet stocks unchanged, and at the same time bite Citibank, a company that provides funds to these companies, then by January
, the total funding of "small goals" may exceed one billion US dollars.
This is what finance is like. A huge amount of money can increase your wealth several times. Likewise, a small amount of money can disappear into nothing.
However, this money seems to be a lot, but after careful calculation, it is only four times, which is a bit conservative. After all, a single Cisco stock has increased more than ten times this year.
But the future is still uncertain after all, and in order to avoid certain troubles, Jiang Yan did not dare to play a single ticket, but only increased the proportion.
Besides, one billion US dollars is enough, and it can fully support some future strategies.
And if the domestic media knew about this wealth, public opinion would definitely explode.
With more than 8 billion yuan in 1999, he can really become the richest man in mainland China.
But when the time comes, it will really make people hate it.
Anyone who fails to secure the kidnapping will be dispatched.
Fortunately, it was kept secret for now. Jiang Yan suddenly felt that this secret development was really refreshing.
“Okay, in line with expectations.”
Jiang Yan nodded, quite satisfied.
If you have food in your pocket, you will not panic in your heart.
Then, he asked about the penguins.
Regarding mainland Internet companies, Jiang Yan asked Xiang Yan to pay close attention to them last year.
The situation so far is actually pretty good. There are many Internet companies that we are currently in contact with, but Penguin is the only one that allows Jiang Yan to come in person.
Penguin, you know everything. In fact, Xiao Ma only wanted to live an ordinary life at the beginning. Who knew that time would push him to that height.
It's all fate.
Through Xiang Yan's narration, Jiang Yan knew that QQ had developed at an alarming rate since it was launched in February this year. In just over half a year, the number of users exceeded hundreds of thousands.
This was originally a good thing, but Xiaoma Ge and the others encountered the biggest difficulty for Internet companies in this era, which is that it is difficult to find profit points.
Before finding it, a huge user base also meant burning money. The monthly server fee alone gave Xiao Ma a headache. In order to make money, Penguin took on any job during this period, but the money earned was far less than the money burned.
speed.
In desperation, Xiao Ma and other founders decided to raise 40% of the shares after discussion.
The result is that you hit a wall everywhere, which is actually normal. The Internet is still in its exploratory stage these days, and investors are very cautious, so they naturally dare not make easy bets on a project that cannot find a profit point.
Xiao Ma was once forced to have the idea of selling QQ, but no one took the offer of 1 million.
The despairing Xiao Ma Ge fell into the biggest trough since starting his business and was considering whether to give up Penguin and go home to inherit the family business.
"Small target" came to your door.
In fact, for Penguin, given Jiang Yan's current conditions, there is no problem at all in completely replicating a high-end version of Penguin.
However, he still chose to invest in Penguin, firstly to save effort, and secondly because he felt that Brother Ma might be the son of the plane?
There are many things that are unclear.
Of course, if this investment does not go well or the other party makes him unhappy, Jiang Yan also reserves the right to flip the table.
If you don't use nuclear weapons first, you have to be a bit heroic if you have a golden finger.
"What's the point now?"
In the car, Jiang Yan asked Xiang Yandao.
"There are still differences over shares..."
Xiang Yan talked in detail about the current progress.
Xiang Yan has already discussed it once on behalf of "Small Goal", and Xiang Yan said it was 60%. Of course Xiao Ma and the others did not agree.
60%, what is the difference between this and selling everything?
However, they are willing to negotiate, and they are the only ones currently willing to negotiate. Naturally, Xiao Ma and the others know that this condition still needs to be negotiated.
So this is the second round.
In the second round, Xiang Yan revealed that the bottom line was 50%, and the funding had to be put under pressure, otherwise the negotiation would not be possible.
Brother Xiao Ma and the others were very hesitant.
50% really cannot agree. If they agree, the controlling stake of their founding team will be unstable.
Moreover, it also requires funding, so such conditions are definitely not acceptable.
However, due to reality, Brother Xiao Ma and the others are also prepared to work harder to see if they can negotiate some conditions, at least not financially.
But at this moment, Xiang Yan received a call. After the call, he directly asked Xiao Ma and the others if they could suspend the negotiation for a few hours, because his boss was nearby and he was somewhat interested in the small QQ project.
I want to come over and have a chat.
When Xiao Ma heard that the bosses were here, he naturally agreed. At least the boss's rights in terms of capital must be greater than those of the manager.
So the meeting was adjourned temporarily, and Xiang Yan came to the airport to pick up Jiang Yan.
After hearing this, Jiang Yan expressed his appreciation for Xiang Yan.
This was their plan.
Jiang Yan can just come forward when the negotiations are most difficult.
In addition, although Xiang Yan doesn't have any special abilities, he is at least pretty good at executing orders.
After asking this, Jiang Yan asked again: "What do you think of their team?"
Xiang Yan shook his head slightly when he heard this and said, "I'm not very optimistic about them."
In fact, he is not optimistic about QQ. Not to mention that it is not profitable, it is still a pirated version. Although the old American icq is not profitable, it did sell it at a high price in the end, but the prerequisite is that there must be a takeover.
And according to the boss's estimation, the Internet bubble in Lao America will burst soon, and the burst in Lao America will definitely affect the country. So isn't it unwise to invest in QQ domestically now?
So the boss just wants to win QQ before the bubble bursts in the United States and then find a takeover to make a profit? If the "small target" can't find a takeover, then he will really become a white knight, that is, a professional scapegoat.
.
Or do you want to use this company to do other things?
Xiang Yan is puzzled by the explanation.
However, Jiang Yan did smile and asked: "The project doesn't matter, the talent does. What do you think of them?"
"It's pretty good, at least it's more realistic and not just relying on one word." Xiang Yan affirmed.
"Oh? So you've ever met someone who just relies on his mouth?"
"Of course, but it's not just about words. They still have a website."
"What website?" Jiang Yan suddenly became curious.
"Alibaba, it's easy to remember."
Jiang Yan suddenly raised his eyebrows, Boss Ma actually met him too?
But he soon calmed down. This Alibaba is different from Penguin, and counting the time, Alibaba should have found the money, right?
Besides, even if you are short of money, this job probably won’t be easy to do.
But after Jiang Yan finally thought about it, he still felt that he needed to get in touch.
What if it can be done?
Even if you can't vote, it's good to hear Boss Ma's excitement at the scene.
In the future, ordinary people will not be able to hear this.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan shook his head and laughed. He was really free.
But with this thought in his mind, he still told Xiang Yan: "After talking about this, you can talk to the other side."
When Xiang Yan heard this, although he didn't understand what it meant, he agreed.
Soon, the car arrived at Shenzhen SEG Technology Park.
As soon as I got off the car, I was shocked by Xiao Ma who was waiting at the door.
