My 1999

Li Yanhong frowned and looked at the contents on the computer.

"Is there still no response from Hongmeng?"

Liu Jianguo shook his head.

"Where's Bing?"

"After getting in touch with a few portals, I stopped and did not continue to work hard in the enterprise market."

Li Yanhong was shocked and said happily: "So our strategy is effective?"

Liu Jianguo nodded, "But why has Hongmeng been silent?"

"This is where Hongmeng is smart." Lei Ming continued, "If they respond, this topic will become more and more popular, and the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to them. Therefore, not responding is the most reasonable choice."

"Then do we need to continue to work harder?" Guo Yuan asked.

"We must continue. We must not let Hongmeng and Bing have the slightest chance." Lei Ming said.

Li Yanhong nodded.

"Spend a little more money and invite more media."

Everyone nodded.

——

Xu Liang looked at the documents on the table and frowned slightly.

"That's all?"

"This is the only thing we have collected for now." Xie Wen said.

"No. The positions of these celebrities are too small, and there is no way to create a blast point when they are sent out. Instead, they make the enemy more alert and take precautions in advance." Xu Liang said.

"But there are not many A-list celebrities, and they pay more attention to privacy. It is difficult to dig out valuable news in a short period of time."

Xu Liang also knew that this kind of thing was a bit difficult.

He hesitated for a while.

"Double the price for those paparazzi. Then wait for another three days. If there is no new news after three days, push this."

Xie Wen took a look and nodded.

After he left, Xu Liang sat in his office chair and thought hard.

He didn't know much about the entertainment industry in his last life, and he really couldn't remember any explosive gossip in the past two thousand years.

Jingle Bell…….

The phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and looked at it. After thinking for a while, he pressed the answer button.

"Brother Xiong, why do you have time to call me today?"

"Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you coming out to sit down tonight?"

Xu Liang was moved.

He knew very well that IDG was a shareholder of Baidu, having invested US$5 million just last month.

"Okay, where?"

"The American Club on the 4th floor of China Resources Building, No. 8 Jianguomen North Street, Dongcheng."

He has already heard about this famous top four club in the capital.

"Forget it. The threshold in that place is too high, so I won't join in the fun."

Xu Liang had no interest in this comprador gathering place at all.

"Brother, is there anything good to eat or do? It's okay to change." Xiong Xiaoge said.

"How about this? I know there is a private restaurant called Li's in Houhai. The food tastes good and the privacy is good. If I don't mind, we will go there."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Then see you at seven o'clock in the evening."

"OK."

After making an appointment, Xu Liang hung up the phone, thoughtfully.

"What's the purpose of inviting me to dinner at this time?"

He shook his head and was too lazy to guess anymore. He would know everything when we met in the evening.

First, I called to reserve a private room and ordered a few signature dishes.

Time passed quickly.

When it was time to get off work, Xu Liang drove to Li's Private Kitchen.

This courtyard restaurant that Jiang Xiaoyang took him to initially became a place he frequented.

One is that the privacy is good, and the other is that the food here suits his taste better.

Because he has been here many times, the employees here all know him.

"Mr. Xu."

"Give me a pot of Dianhong. It will be served in fifteen minutes."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

It didn't take long after the waiter left.

A pot of Dianhong was served.

Xu Liang asked for another decanter and poured the red wine he brought into it.

He doesn't usually smoke.

I drink beer occasionally and prefer red wine on formal occasions.

It has less alcohol and is not as spicy as white wine.

About ten minutes later, the waiter walked in with Xiong Xiaoge wearing a black suit.

Xu Liang stood up and went to greet him.

"Brother Xiong, welcome."

"Haha, brother, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"I just arrived too."

The two shook hands.

"Sit down and talk?"

"good."

After the two sat down, Xu Liang poured a cup of tea over.

At this time, the waiter also started serving food.

"I ordered a few signature dishes, but I don't know if Brother Xiong likes them?"

"I'm not that picky, just about right."

Wait until the four dishes and one soup are ready.

"Taste it?"

"Haha, let's try it."

Xiong Xiaoge picked up some roast duck with his chopsticks, rolled it up with pancakes and put it in his mouth.

After chewing for a while, he nodded.

"The taste is no worse than Quanjude. No wonder you like it here, brother."

"I just like affordable things. Their food tastes good, the portions are ok, and it's more conscientious." Xu Liang said with a smile.

With that said, he picked up the decanter and poured Xiong Xiaoge a glass of wine.

After the two briefly touched.

Xu Liang kept drinking and eating, saying nothing else.

As time passed, Xiong Xiaoge couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother, the news about Hongmeng Company on the Internet has been overwhelming these days."

"Brother, did you see it too?"

"How could I not notice such a big thing?"

"Is it big? I don't think so." Xu Liang said calmly.

"Brother, are you really not afraid that things will get serious and the country will ban the game industry?"

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Brother Xiong, does the game violate national laws?"

"of course not."

"Then why should I worry? If public opinion is used, the country can ban an industry that is booming and employing more and more people..."

Xu Liang smiled and shook his head.

Although he didn't finish the sentence, the meaning was already obvious.

Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said: "Brother, don't underestimate the role of public opinion. If it really gets too big, the country may not cancel an industry, but it will definitely investigate and even ban the target company."

The two met their eyes and smiled at each other.

"My brother is absolutely sure. I think there should be any good way to get Hongmeng out of its current predicament?"

Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said: "We, IDG, entered China in 1998 and have accumulated a very deep network of contacts over the years. If Hongmeng Company has shares of our IDG, I will have reason to use IDG's network of contacts to help my brother through this crisis." Difficulties.”

Xu Liang asked: "Has the fox tail finally come out?"

"I remember IDG also invested in Baidu?"

Xiong Xiaoge nodded slightly, "Actually, we are most optimistic about Hongmeng, but my brother You still refused to agree to financing, so we retreated and invested US$5 million in Baidu.

In fact, we have invested in not only Baidu, but also all domestic search companies, it’s just a matter of the number of shares. "

"In the international environment where the Nasdaq crisis is deepening, you can invest five million US dollars in Baidu. Brother, your courage is really admirable." Xu Liangdao.

"Although the Nasdaq crisis has a great impact, when you encounter a good company, you still have to invest. Just like my Hongmeng company, if you are willing to accept investment, IDG is willing to give a price-earnings ratio of 40 times."

Xu Liang felt Xiong Xiaoge's courage again.

When the general environment is not good, you still dare to make big bets.

This kind of determination and ability is not something ordinary investors can possess.

For a moment, he had the idea of ​​poaching the other party to Hanhua.

But now Hanhua's temple is too small to support such a dragon.

"Brother Xiong, Hongmeng will raise funds, but not now." Xu Liang said.

Xiong Xiaoge frowned and said: "Brother, a price-to-earnings ratio of 40 times is definitely the highest price that can be estimated for Hongmeng in the current market. I don't believe that any investment institution can give such a high price."

"Brother, I misunderstood. It's not a matter of price, it's that Hongmeng doesn't plan to raise funds at the moment. Our revenue is enough to support our current expansion."

If Hongmeng wants to develop, it will definitely need financing.

But now is not the time.

At present, Hongmeng does not need to resort to external forces to resist those who reach out randomly.

When the Nasdaq crisis is almost over and Hongmeng's business is dazzling enough, it will be time to start financing.

"Brother, don't you think about it anymore? Only when you have enough money can you develop faster." Xiong Xiaoge said.

Xu Liang shook his head.

"Enterprise development is a matter of down-to-earth steps. If you want to become fat in one bite, the final result is often not very good. At Hongmeng's current development stage, even if I accept financing from IDG, I don't know where to spend the money."

"Aren't you negotiating with Excite to acquire their Asian business? With our financing, you will have more funds for acquisitions. We at IDG can also use our influence in Silicon Valley to help you with acquisitions."

Xu Liang's eyes flickered. He was a little afraid that if he refused to invest, IDG would affect the company's acquisition of Excite's Asian business.

Think for a moment.

"Let me think about this first."

An ambiguous answer would not satisfy Xiong Xiaoge.

But he also knew that this was Xu Liang's limit.

"Okay. If I figure it out, brother, please call me anytime."

"no problem."

The two people behind exchanged cups and cups, and they tacitly agreed not to mention anything about work.

After eating and drinking, they dispersed.

Xiong Xiaoge sat in the car on the way home. After playing with the phone in his hand for a moment, he flipped through the phone book, found a number and dialed it.

"Director Liu, it's me, the old bear from IDG. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm going to treat you tomorrow. Can we sit down?"

"Haha, it's still the same place."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you with good wine and food?"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Xiong Xiaoge hung up the phone.

"Brother Xu, the business world is dangerous. Let me teach you a lesson this time."

——

Two days later.

"Mr. Xu, good news."

Xie Wen walked in with excitement on his face.

Seeing him like this, Xu Liang felt inexplicably looking forward to it.

"found it?"

Xie Wen nodded vigorously and handed over the document in his hand.

Above is a photo of a man and a woman holding hands intimately.

Xu Liang took it and took a look.

Whether it was the previous life or this life, they were all acquaintances.

He is also an absolute A-list celebrity and a singing superstar.

"Great. Immediately arrange for the editors of the Bing Consulting Group to write a press release. First distribute it through Bing and the website directory, and then send it to several portals. Don't be stingy with spending money."

"I'll go right away."

Xie Wen left in a hurry.

Seeing his back disappear, Xu Liang still couldn't hide his excitement.

Feng Fei Lian.

Once exposed, it will definitely detonate the entertainment circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places and countless people.

The Internet is not even a priority in front of others.
