Back in 2010: I owned 100,000 Bitcoins

The next day, Tengxun's people came again.

Only this time, Ma Huateng did not follow, but arranged for a vice president-level leader to lead the team.

He entertained them for a while and then passed them on to Cheng Yuan to entertain them. It was rare that he had time to take Zhao Min to worry about his own safety.

When he had time, he checked on the Internet about some of the best bodyguard companies in Beijing.

Finally, I chose a company called Seawolf Golden Shield, which specializes in high-end security services.

After getting a general understanding on the phone, I felt quite satisfied and took Zhao Min and Sun Zhen directly to the headquarters of Sea Wolf Golden Shield.

At present, the country has not opened up the bodyguard industry, and most of the bodyguard companies are just trying to sell people on the sidelines.

This is the case with Seawolf Golden Shield. His full name is Seawolf Golden Shield Security Consulting Co., Ltd.

After arriving at Sea Wolf Golden Shield, Lu Pengfei was greeted by a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man first took Lu Pengfei to visit the company and showed everyone the training situation of Sea Wolf.

"Mr. Lu, our Sea Wolf is a professional company that specializes in high-end security services, including private bodyguards, celebrity bodyguards, family protection, armed escort protection, and secret bodyguards. I don't know what kind of protection you need?"

Lu Pengfei looked at the information book in his hand, thought about it and said in a deep voice, "I need three types of personal bodyguards, celebrity bodyguards and secret bodyguards."

"Mr. Lu, bodyguards are usually dispatched in teams of six. Do you have any special requirements?"

"I hope one of the teams will have two female members. It will be more convenient."

Wang Tian nodded, "Absolutely, but the price of female bodyguards is [-]% higher than that of men. You know that female bodyguards are a scarce resource, so the price is a bit higher!"

Lu Pengfei nodded and said nonchalantly, "The price is easy to talk about!"

Afterwards, Wang Tian asked Lu Pengfei to provide an asset certificate and information, and asked the company's valuation experts to quote a price.

Based on Lu Pengfei's safety factor, Seawolf's evaluation department set the price at [-] per year for men and [-] per year for women.

Wang Tian clicked on the computer and did some calculations and said, "Mr. Lu, the security order you made includes a team of six private guards, a team of star special guards including two women, and a team of secret darts, a total of ten Eight people, the male has an annual salary of 40 yuan, the female has an annual salary of 560 yuan, and the order period is one year, with a total cost of [-] million yuan."

RMB 560 million is less than US$[-] per year, a price he can fully afford.

Without thinking, he nodded and said, "No problem, just place the order according to this!"

Next it’s time to choose bodyguards.

Wang Tian used the walkie-talkie to call six teams of bodyguards for him to choose from. He didn't understand, so he chose whichever team he liked.

After all, bodyguards have been around him for a long time. Whether they are powerful or not, they must at least be pleasing to the eye.

Finally, Lu Pengfei asked Sea Wolf if he had any bodyguard training business.

Wang Tian nodded and said that the training would last for one year and cost [-] yuan.

Lu Pengfei asked Sun Zhen for his opinion and asked Sun Zhen to stay.

After paying [-]% of the security fee first, these three teams of eighteen elite security personnel were temporarily at Lu Pengfei's disposal.

Lu Pengfei kept one pair with him, and arranged the remaining two teams to be with Han Yingying, her parents and her younger brother respectively.

Of course, in order not to affect the normal life of the family, they would use secret escorts to protect their parents and younger brothers from the dark.

In addition to paying more than two million yuan in security fees, Lu Pengfei also had to equip these bodyguards with cars and purchase some security equipment, for which he spent more than three million yuan.

……

Negotiations with Tengxun lasted for a month.

From the very beginning when Tengxun insisted on a wholly-owned acquisition and turned Youxin into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tengxun until Tengxun requested a controlling stake, YOUxin's negotiation team had a very difficult duel with Tengxun's people and always withstood the pressure. Refuse to be controlled.

Faced with the strong resistance of YOUXin, Tengxun launched a client similar to YOUXin on December 12 to put pressure on YOUXin. The name of this software is Weixin.

Although you cannot use the function of registering with a mobile phone number, you can use the QQ mailbox and QQ account to register, and it also has the function of sending voice messages.

Netizens are very disgusted with this action of Tengxun. They have just experienced a 3Q war, and the society has been condemning Tengxun's copycat behavior.

At a time when the country is vigorously cracking down on intellectual property infringement activities, Tengxun dares to act like this. It is really audacious.

For a time, Tengxun was once again scorned by netizens and the media.

Faced with this situation, Ma Huateng was also wronged.

Weixin's patented technology that can send voice short messages was achieved by company personnel bypassing Youxin's technical approach. Although there is suspicion of plagiarism, it does not reach the level of infringement at all.

But netizens don't care about these details. In their eyes, as long as Weixin has similar functions to YOUxin, it is plagiarism and copycat!

Facing the Weixin issued by Tengxun.

On December 12, when negotiations with Tengxun were difficult, Lu Pengfei decisively launched the nearby people function.

As soon as the nearby people function was launched, it was loved by the majority of users. In addition to meeting their acquaintances to socialize, now Youxin also meets their urgent need to make friends with strangers.

In less than a week since the nearby people function was launched, the number of domestic users of YOU letter has reached [-] million, and the international version, which has only been online for less than a month, has more than [-] million users.

The most amazing thing is that the retention rate of YOU letters is almost 90%; the number of people online at the same time has remained above [-] million for a long time, and the average number of opens per person is as high as [-] times a day.

All the data shows the strong development potential of YOUxin.

After YOUxin announced these data on December 12, it caused a great response from the outside world.

Many media have reported that "YOU Xin is the product most likely to subvert QQ."

In the end, Ma Yun helped Lu Pengfei.

At the critical moment when the two sides were in a stalemate, Ma Yun's Yunfeng Fund and Ali Baba approached Lu Tencent and proposed to invest in YOU Xin.

Ma Yun has always wanted to enter the instant messaging market, but Ali Wangwang, the company he invested in, has never been able to capture much market share.

The sudden rise of YOUxin gave him hope of getting involved in instant messaging.

Ma Yun proposed a requirement to invest US$5 million in YOUXin to account for 49% of the shares.

Compared with the last financing, the valuation of YOU letter has doubled.

Ma Yun's action at the critical moment made Lu Pengfei overjoyed and immediately arranged for personnel to contact Ma Yun's team.

Ma Huateng was very helpless when he learned that Ma Yunshen had joined. Since Tengxun, Ali, and Ferry developed into Internet giants, many business conflicts have arisen.

One is engaged in e-commerce and the other is engaged in instant messaging. Originally, they were not in conflict with each other.

But since both want to expand their business territories, entanglements will inevitably arise.

Ma Yun wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the field of instant messaging and attack Tengxun's dominance to expand his business territory.

Ma Huateng is determined to stop Ma Yun to safeguard the survival of his empire.

On December 12, Ma Huateng finally gave up the idea of ​​controlling YOU Xin.

People from both sides continue to negotiate.

Two horses fighting, Lu Pengfei got the advantage!
