Early in the morning, Chu Tianyao and Lu Qiuyu were still having breakfast in the tea restaurant on the second floor, when a waiter appeared in front of Chu Tianyao.
"Mr. Chu, there is a Mr. Ma at the front desk looking for you and saying that he has called you."
"Mr. Ma?"
Lu Qiuyu was stunned after hearing this.
However, Chu Tianyao had already guessed the identity of the person, and he smiled at the person in front of him and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, bring him here to meet me."
With that said, Chu Tianyao casually took out a hundred-yuan bill.
It was naturally against the rules to bring guests from outside the hotel to the restaurant, but Chu Tianyao tipped him a hundred yuan, and the waiter couldn't help showing a burst of joy on his face, and he quickly withdrew.
In the Sheraton Hotel.
Recently, many waiters know that Mr. Chu in Room 408 is a generous man who often gives generous tips.
It is precisely because of this that the waiter who heard the news at the front desk took the trouble to go to the tea restaurant to find Chu Tianyao.
If it were anyone else, the front desk clerk would have just called the room number, and if the call couldn't be made, forget it.
Not long after.
Chu Tianyao and Lu Qiuyu were having breakfast, and the returning waiter had already brought Ma Yun to them.
"Mr. Chu..."
As soon as they met, Ma Yun hurriedly said hello.
"Come here so early, haven't you had breakfast yet?"
Chu Tianyao looked at Ma Yundao.
Looking at the exquisite breakfast on the table and being asked this question by Chu Tianyao, Ma Yun couldn't help but feel a little hungry.
"You're welcome, sit down and eat together!"
Chu Tianyao waved his hand and motioned for Ma Yun to sit down.
Although he hesitated, Ma Yun still sat next to Chu Tianyao.
"Mr. Chu, actually I came here this time mainly because I wanted to talk to you about our Chinese Yellow Pages."
Ma Yun spoke as soon as he sat down.
Chu Tianyao wiped his mouth with a napkin and said with a smile: "What, have you figured out how to convince me?"
Hearing Chu Tianyao's words, Ma Yun also nodded, and then said firmly: "It is undeniable that the Internet is not popular in China at present, and the number of users of our Chinese Yellow Pages is not large, but I firmly believe that Internet is
As for the new model of future business development, Bill Gates also said that the Internet will change all aspects of human beings..."
"Stop it, Bill Gates never said this."
Chu Tianyao said.
Jack Ma, who is a former teacher, is not just bragging about his great skills. Bill Gates would do it right away.
He later clarified this matter. In fact, Bill Gates never said such a thing at all.
"Ahem...I heard this from someone too."
Ma Yun coughed slightly and added with a slight embarrassment: "Although Bill Gates may not have said this, there are already many excellent Internet companies in developed countries. According to data analysis, Internet
The number of unique users worldwide is close to 20 million, and will see explosive growth in the future."
"So, what does this have to do with me?"
Listening to Ma Yun talking about the mountains, Chu Tianyao asked rhetorically.
Ma Yun paused, then continued: "Internet is still in a blue ocean state in China, with unknown market space. Mr. Chu knows Internet so well that he must have heard about the latest announcement issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
Well, Internet will be popularized to the public soon, and I bet that the number of users of my Chinese Yellow Pages will increase dozens of times in less than a year."
Speaking of this, Ma Yun smiled and said: "By then, the price of commercial seats on our website will probably have to increase several times."
The implication of Ma Yun's words was naturally that he wanted to explain the future of China Yellow Pages to Chu Tianyao.
"Your website is only for e-commerce and connects with corporate services?"
While Ma Yun was chatting, Chu Tianyao picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, then put down the teacup and asked again: "Then do you know Jingcheng Technology Company?"
"Mr. Chu is talking about Jingcheng Technology founded by Zhang Shuxin?"
Ma Yun looked at Chu Tianyao and said.
How could he not know about the famous Beijing Technology Company?
Compared to Jack Ma's small efforts, Zhang Shuxin's Jingcheng Technology Company was the first Internet company in China. With a report from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, they became an instant hit.
"Jingcheng Technology used to be engaged in computer sales, but now it has transformed into an Internet company. I heard that Mr. Zhang Shuxin's team designed a website called Yinghaiwei Spacetime, and even created the first Internet information in China. The slogan of the highway.”
When talking about Zhang Shuxin, Ma Yun also expressed admiration in his words.
In contrast, while Jack Ma, also an Internet entrepreneur, was still begging for collaborators, Zhang Shuxin had already built a nationally renowned website like Yinghaiwei Space with the support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Unlike Jack Ma, Zhang Shuxin does not lack popularity at all, and because of the support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yinghaiwei Spacetime is affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and has established a brand new interactive network with a Chinese interface, which is like an online library and is comparable to the American version. "America Online".
Not only that, because of the promotion of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhang Shuxin’s Yinghaiwei Space-Time website has entered the profit stage as soon as it was launched.
All users who log into Yinghaiwei Time and Space must pay a hefty network access fee.
Relying on the Internet fees to be recorded in their accounts, Zhang Shuxin and his wife's Beijing Technology Company has officially begun to make a profit.
At this moment, Jack Ma, who is still a nobody, is still running around looking for business partners for his Chinese Yellow Pages.
"Who says women are inferior to men? If there is a chance, I really want to go to the capital to meet Mr. Zhang and discuss with her her views on Internet."
In the tea restaurant, Ma Yun sat in front of Chu Tianyao and Lu Qiuyu and couldn't help but sigh like this.
"You'll see."
Chu Tianyao responded casually, and then took out a pen and checkbook from his pocket.
"Do you take checks?"
Before putting pen to paper, Chu Tianyao glanced at Ma Yun.
Hearing this, Ma Yun was surprised at first, and then showed a look of surprise.
"receive!"
Ma Yun said excitedly.
Immediately, Chu Tianyao wrote a check in the name of Xingyao Technology and handed it to Ma Yun.
"Mr. Chu, I believe you will not regret cooperating with me."
After receiving the check, Ma Yun almost cried with joy.
After a few days of busy work in Shanghai, and even a cold wind blowing in front of the Dongfeng Hotel last night, he finally got his first partner for the Chinese Yellow Pages.
"Why don't you look at the amount of the check first?"
Looking at the excited Ma Yun, Chu Tianyao pretended to smile mysteriously.
"ah?"
After this reminder, Ma Yun lowered his head and looked carefully at the check in his hand.
"Two hundred thousand?"
Ma Yun rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had made a mistake. After confirming that the number on the check was two hundred thousand, he looked at Chu Tianyao with a confused look.
"My company does not need to solicit business on the Internet, but I am very interested in your Chinese Yellow Pages. If you agree, I can invest you 200,000 as start-up capital."
Chu Tianyao said.
These words surprised Ma Yun.
"Mr. Chu, do you want to buy shares?"
Ma Yun murmured, but now he seemed a little hesitant.
He was short of money at the moment. If he hadn't been short of money, he wouldn't have been able to travel to the Shanghai stock market all night to recruit customers.
But Chu Tianyao's offer was 200,000. How should he calculate the shares for Chu Tianyao became a big problem.
"You can just give me the shares if you like, or I can even just pay you dividends."
Knowing what Ma Yun was thinking, Chu Tianyao spoke again.
"What?"
Hearing Chu Tianyao's answer, Ma Yun was even more surprised.
As expected, he underestimated the young man in front of him and gave him 200,000 yuan casually, without even caring about the shares.
Ma Yun was happy in his heart. The two hundred thousand was naturally just like picking it up for free, but after hesitating for a while, he still made a decision.
"Mr. Chu, I will give you 10% of the 200,000 shares. What do you think?"
The establishment of the entire Haibo Network Company only cost 20,000 yuan. Chu Tianyao suddenly offered 200,000 yuan, and he only took out 20% of the shares. This was not because he was stingy, but because Ma Yun understood that Huaxia The real potential of the Yellow Pages project is that 200,000 yuan to get 10% of the shares is definitely not a small amount.
"Can!"
Chu Tianyao gave an affirmative answer, which made Ma Yun breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Qiuyu, who was sitting next to Chu Tianyao and still drinking tea, seemed to be fine after hearing this.
It was just an investment of 200,000 yuan. Compared with Chu Tianyaodong's "wasteful" investment of tens of millions, this was almost a drop in the bucket, and she had long been accustomed to it.
Moreover, after all, he had studied in the United States. Although Lu Qiuyu didn't know what kind of success Ma Yun's Chinese Yellow Pages could achieve, Lu Qiuyu quite agreed with the statement that the Internet would become a new business model in the future.
"With this money, hurry up and build the Huaxia Yellow Pages. The sooner the website goes online, the better. Also, don't focus on finding companies to cooperate with."
Chu Tianyao put away the pen and said to Ma Yun, who looked excited.
These words made Ma Yun, who was still excited, change his face slightly.
"Mr. Chu, how do you know my website is not online yet?"
Ma Yun buttoned the back of his head in embarrassment.
But when Lu Qiuyu heard these words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Since last night, everything Ma Yun said was just talk on paper. The Chinese Yellow Pages that this guy mentioned were not officially launched at all.
"The website has been completed. It is only a matter of time before it is officially launched. It is estimated that it will not take more than a month."
Ma Yun quickly explained.
Chu Tianyao looked indifferent.
"These days, when doing business, you must look up. Your Chinese Yellow Pages can not only serve private enterprises, but also serve government agencies."
"Serving a government agency?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Yun also slapped his thigh and said in surprise: "Yes, why didn't I think of that?"
Chu Tianyao's words were like waking up a person from a dream.
