During the Tomb Sweeping Day, Lin Zuhui worshiped his ancestors in Shunde, which alerted city officials to come to accompany him.
Returning to one’s hometown in fine clothes probably refers to this situation. But then again, does this ‘township’ count as his hometown?
The ‘township’ in his previous life should be his real hometown!
No matter how you put it, it's just a matter of donating money, and Lin Zuhui understands it very well. Regardless of the "township" in his previous life or the "township" in this life, Lin Zuhui's donation has already exceeded 100 million RMB.
It is worth mentioning that there are two Lin Zuhui in this world, and the other one is exactly what Lin Zuhui looked like in his previous life. Although Lin Zuhui has never met 'himself', he has also entrusted someone to give 'his' parents some 'windfall'. At present,
There is no problem in living a wealthy life in the city.
He is not worried about what his parents will do because of this wealth, because he knows that his parents are very honest people and will not use money to gamble or show off; besides, Lin Zuhui is paying attention to them
As the situation has developed, my parents have now purchased a large house and two storefronts in the city where they work, bringing 'me' and my sister to live together and run a restaurant business.
In short, it is a stable life.
Lin Zuhui did not give too much to avoid unexpected situations.
Lin Zuhui, led by Lu Bingwen, came to an office building in Nanshan District, Pengcheng.
Brother Xiao Ma, who will be famous in later generations, has already nervously led his partners to wait at the door. When he saw Lin Zuhui arriving, he quickly and respectfully said hello.
It turns out that Jingwei Capital has already been paying attention to the domestic instant messenger market, and there are several companies doing it, and there are even Taiwanese people who have localized ICQ to develop in the mainland. So some of Lin Zuhui's subordinates don't understand why ICQ doesn't do it in the mainland market.
Lin Zuhui doesn't need to explain so much to them. He only needs to pay attention to when Xiao Ma's QICQ will be released and when the Chinese version will be released, and then he will come to them at the right time.
In early January this year, Xiao Ma's QICQ was released. Lin Zuhui read its version and found that his version was easier for the market to accept than others. Then he knew that software is also a profound knowledge, and Xiao Ma not only knows how to
The principle of "using it" is to "carry out secondary innovation on the original version". This is the real reason for his success.
Otherwise, if there are so many ICQ players in China today, why would he be the only one to break through in the future and even monopolize the market?
At this time, Brother Ma felt a little relieved when he saw Lin Zuhui greeting him very friendly.
It turned out that after the Spring Festival this year, ICQ began to vigorously sue various copycat ICQ companies in the mainland. As the Penguin boss, he was even more frightened. He had not thought about the prospects of QICQ, he just wanted to make some money.
, even if ICQ buys his company, he will not hesitate at all.
A group of people came to Penguin's office building. It was very simple and small. At first glance, it looked like a typical start-up company. Of course, it was better than American technology tycoons who like to start businesses in garages.
"Xiao Ma, I heard from President Lu that your QICQ is the best version made in China. Can you demonstrate it to me?" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.
Brother Xiao Ma nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin. Please come over here!"
Then, in his uneasy mood, Xiao Ma's hands even trembled a little. After all, he knew very well who the person in front of him was. There were too many titles, and any one of them could crush him to death, regardless of how powerful his father was.
And Lin Zuhui carefully watched Xiao Ma's demonstration and decided to invest in him.
That's right, they are investors.
When venture capital companies invest in Internet companies, the first thing they always look at is the company’s CEO. After all, it’s very easy to copycat on the Internet. Who has the last laugh depends entirely on the CEO.
After a demonstration, Lin Zuhui said: "This version is a copy of our ICQ, it is just a Chinese version! And the Chinese version of ICQ is also used in Hong Kong." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Ma with a smile.
Xiao Ma was immediately embarrassed. ICQ's functions are powerful and its version is simple. It can be said that it is already very good. When he was doing this, he didn't think of many new ideas for a while, and it was almost completely plagiarized.
"What Mr. Lin said is that ICQ is too powerful, and you have not entered the mainland, so we feel that Chinese people should use such excellent software."
Look, this realization will make you the boss of a multi-trillion company in the future.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "We suddenly wanted to enter the mainland market, so this year we sued many ICQ copycats in the mainland."
Xiao Ma was at a loss and could only say: "This"
"Haha, don't be nervous, Pony. If I really want to cause trouble for you, I don't need to come over!"
"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Lin! Who are you here for?"
"How much have you invested in this company?"
"500,000 RMB"
"How about selling it to us for 1 million?"
"no problem!"
This time it was Lin Zuhui's turn to be stunned for a second, and then he laughed again.
"I'm kidding you! Did President Lu say anything to you?"
Brother Ma finally showed his surprise, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, President Lu said that Jingwei Capital wants to invest in our Penguin Company, and I said it's up to him to decide the terms!"
This is a fact. Xiao Ma believes that having investment from Matrix Partners not only means capital investment, but also the experience of ICQ and the human resources of Matrix Partners, which is good luck for being on the list.
Lin Zuhui then said: "For mainland Internet companies, we are now mainly supporting them. We will not directly invest in Internet companies in the mainland, except for Sina. Therefore, we have also investigated the instant messenger market for a long time and found one.
It is most in line with the investment goal, and then all other infringing companies will be sued. So, for Penguin, we only need 40% of the shares. As for the price, how much are you considering, President Lu?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Bingwen had already received instructions from Lin Zuhui, so he said seriously: "Since we have decided to support an instant messaging company, we will consider the development needs of Penguin Company in the next few years.
of funds until it goes public. Therefore, we decided to invest 3.8 million US dollars in Penguin and then provide all-round support. Even ICQ Company will reach an agreement with Penguin and will no longer cause trouble to Penguin in the future.”
At present, ICQ has not been officially launched (in June), so Lin Zuhui can naturally make the decision.
Brother Xiao Ma was extremely happy at this time. 40% of the shares were exchanged for nearly 30 million RMB, and there was all-round support. This was unimaginable.
"No problem, we very much welcome the investment of Jingwei Capital!"
Lin Zuhui smiled. The reason why he increased the investment by about US$4 million was that Penguin would not raise additional funds before going public. Sometimes venture capital companies will deliberately increase the investment price in order to support the market. The reason is that simple.
Moreover, as soon as the Chinese version of Penguin was launched this year, ICQ immediately launched legal appeals in China, with the purpose of cracking down on opponents and warning venture capital companies of the dangers of this industry.
"By the way, QICQ can't be called this, just call it QQ!" Lin Zuhui said.
When Xiao Ma heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Lin has changed well!"
Next, everyone chatted easily.
Lin Zuhui's personal participation in this kind of investment is not outstanding. He is originally a "technology tycoon" openly recognized by the American media and has invested in many Internet giants in the United States.
Of course, Lin Zuhui did not actually support the growth of American Internet companies, such as Netscape, YAHOO, Amazon, etc. He actually did not participate in any good proposals. He proposed to Amazon to develop Internet payments, but after all, he was snatching the opportunity from Musk.
In the future, Lin Zuhui plans to support domestic Internet companies. For example, once Alibaba is launched, he will immediately invest.
After all, Malaysian brother has Cai Chongxin next to him, so it is easy for him to be preempted by other venture capital investors.
With these two Internet companies, Lin Zuhui can sit back and relax, and Lu Bingwen will decide the rest of the projects himself.
After sitting for a while, Lin Zuhui left Penguin Company with satisfaction.
Lu Bingwen could see that the boss attached great importance to this company, so he decided to give more resources to Penguin Company. Mingwei Capital has been rooted in the mainland for several years, and naturally knows a lot of talents. At the same time, Mingwei Capital is also familiar with the Internet.
operation and listing process.
So the problem is not big. Of course, Lu Bingwen also knows that the leader of a company that the boss values must be capable, so Jingwei Capital can only assist and cannot seize power.
