My 1999

Regarding the food in Sijiucheng, there is a saying of "two grills on the first floor, three restaurants on the first floor and four restaurants on the fourth floor".

The first floor is Hongbin Building.

In the old days of Jinmen, it was the first of the "Nine Buildings". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ZL appointed him to Beijing. Mr. Guo wrote inscriptions and presented poems.

"When the geese come, the wind brings warmth, and the guests and friends are all here, urging them to have extra meals. The red flag on the roof of the building is as red as fire, and a hero is never afraid of difficulties."

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, an all-sheep feast greatly satisfied the old lady Cixi, and later it became an intangible cultural heritage.

Second roasting, barbecue season, barbecue season.

Three xuan refers to Liangyixuan, Tonghexuan and Tongyixuan. The three xuanxuan in Sijiu City stand side by side, which is a legend.

There are four straights, one coming from east to west, and one coming from south. These are the four straights.

They are Dong Lai Shun, Xi Lai Shun, Nan Lai Shun and You Yi Shun.

Among them, the three "East, West, South" are older and are also called Lao Sanshun. Youyi Shunze is a rising star with more innovative dishes.

During Xu Liang's year in the capital, he basically visited all of these restaurants.

It is a time-honored brand that has been passed down for hundreds of years and tastes really good.

Come to the Donglaishun main store on Wangfujing Street.

As soon as I entered, accompanied by the warm heating, a waiter wearing a cheongsam greeted me.

"Sir, have you settled down?"

"I have a friend in box 3."

"Please come with me."

The waiter led him inside. Passing by the hall, he could see that the seats were almost full.

People of all kinds were simmering mutton and talking loudly, with the noisy voices of children in the middle. It was bustling and lively, and business was booming.

"Sir, this is box number three."

"Thanks."

Xu Liang knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in.

Facing him was Xiong Xiaoge, and sitting on his left was someone Xu Liang was already very familiar with.

Li Yanhong.

Although I have never met him in person in this life, there are too many photos of him on the Internet in my previous life.

Moreover, after he successfully started his business, he attended a post-investment company gathering organized by venture capital firms. At that time, Lao Li served as a guest on the stage to share his entrepreneurial experience.

At that time, he was really surrounded by stars, shining brightly, and exuding the majesty and domineering power of a billionaire.

Xu Liang himself stood in the audience like a follower, inconspicuous.

In this life, the two sides have become equals, and it will be the other way around in the future.

To the right of Xiong Xiaoge, sat a middle-aged man with a slightly high hairline, wearing a dark blue suit and a black round-neck T-shirt.

After Xu Liang looked at it briefly, he didn't recognize it.

Seeing him coming in, Xiong Xiaoge quickly stood up and greeted him.

The other two people also stood up.

Three pairs of eyes looked towards Xu Liang.

"Brother Xu, you are finally here."

Xiong Xiaoge stepped forward and smiled.

"I shouldn't be late."

"Of course not, we were here earlier." After a pause, "Come, let me introduce you."

"This is Li Yanhong from Baidu."

Looking at this much younger and very familiar face, Xu Liang stretched out his hand.

"Mr. Li, I have long admired your name."

Holding the other person's hand, Li Yanhong still had a trace of surprise on her face.

Although I had known some information about Xu Liang from Xiong Xiaoge for a long time, after the two parties actually met, they were still surprised by each other's youth.

Really too young.

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome. I didn't expect you to be so young."

This is his most intuitive feeling at the moment.

"Young? Mr. Li doesn't seem to be much older than me."

"Haha, in another three or four years, I will be one step ahead of Mr. Xu."

There was envy in his tone.

Regardless of any industry, youth is the greatest capital. It means you have enough time to try and make mistakes and succeed.

After a few brief exchanges, Xiong Xiaoge made the final introduction.

"This is Fu Jixun, head of Greater China at Kleiner Perkins Caufield \u0026 Byers."

Xu Liang suddenly realized that he had heard of Fu Jixun's name when he was raising money in his previous life, but he had never met him in person.

"Mr. Fu, nice to meet you."

"Mr. Xu is really only eighteen years old?" Fu Jixun couldn't help but ask.

"It will be nineteen in two months."

"It's unbelievable. When I was 18 years old, I was still in high school in Singapore and worked hard to get into college every day. But Mr. Xu has already founded his own company."

"Mr. Fu, thank you very much."

After saying hello, Xiong Xiaoge invited everyone to sit down.

"Brother Xu, we have ordered a lot of food. You can see what else is available and add more yourself. You're welcome." Xiong Xiaoge greeted.

"Then I won't be polite."

Xu Liang turned around and added ten plates of mutton for himself.

"I'm not a picky eater, I just eat a little too much. Don't laugh at me, three brothers."

"People are like iron, rice is like steel, what's so funny about this." Xiong Xiaoge said with a smile, "Come on, the water is boiling, let's eat first."

With him taking the lead, several people moved their chopsticks.

Dong Laishun's mutton is very thin, and it's done by simply adding it and rinsing it.

Xu Liang didn't care about anyone else. He tied it up and dipped it in the sauce, enjoying himself.

After a while, the mutton in front of me was gone.

He took out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth.

"Young people are not good at this. They digest and absorb food quickly and are always hungry. This makes the three brothers laugh."

Xiong Xiaoge had dined with Xu Liang several times, and was already used to his big appetite.

Li Yanhong and Fu Jixun felt strange.

They couldn't finish the meat just now in three meals, and Xu Liang only took less than a quarter of an hour.

This is not eating too much, this is gluttony.

"Brother Xu, there is a saying that 'it's better to resolve enemies than to end them'. It's time to resolve the misunderstanding between Bing Ying and Baidu. It's not good for both parties to keep making trouble like this, what do you think?"

After seeing that the atmosphere was about the same, Xiong Xiaoge got to the point.

Li Yanhong and Fu Jixun also looked at Xu Liang.

The latter's attitude is related to their vital interests.

Seeing the expressions of the three people, Xu Liang smiled.

"We never wanted to compete with Baidu. After all, Bing is mainly an independent search engine, while Baidu targets the enterprise market, so there is no business conflict at all.

As a result, Mr. Li made a fuss out of a molehill and insisted on going against us. We had no choice but to fight back. "

Li Yanhong couldn't help but said: "Bing doesn't do business in the enterprise market, so what about Sina, NetEase, TOM and China.com? These companies have obviously initialed cooperation agreements with us.

The results were all ruined by your Bing free strategy. "

"Even if we are not free, they will still choose us." Xu Liang said calmly.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Li Yanhong was obviously dissatisfied.

"Yanhong, Hongmeng spent up to one million on advertising on each portal this year. In comparison, the total of Baidu does not exceed 500,000. If it were me, I would also choose Bing as the search service provider ." Xiong Xiaoge said.

Hearing what he said, Li Yanhong suddenly came back to her senses.

In this era where the Internet winter is getting colder and colder, the boss is the one who gives money.

Baidu does not have the cash cow of Hongmeng Games. The financing is used to recruit people and buy servers. How can there be any extra money for marketing?

Looking at the speechless Li Yanhong, Xu Liang smiled and said: "We Bing have no interest in the enterprise market and can give this piece to Baidu. However, as a condition, Baidu cannot enter the independent search engine field.

otherwise.

Till death. "

Xu Liang's firm and persistent tone made the three people's brows jump.

Li Yanhong instinctively hated any restrictions on Bai Du, and was about to refute.

Fu Jixun was afraid of a stalemate, so he rushed ahead and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu. From now on, Baidu and Bingying will do their own thing without interfering with each other."

Xu Liang nodded slightly and looked to the opposite side.

"Mr. Li, what do you think?"

Li Yanhong glanced around and saw the solemn expressions on Fu Jixun and Xiong Xiaoge's expressions, and swallowed the words on her lips. If all investors are offended, Baidu's reputation will be tarnished.

Who will dare to invest in them in the future?

"Can."

Li Yanhong nodded with difficulty.

Seeing that the alliance under the city was finally reached, Fu Jixun and Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They would never want to see Baidu and Bing continue to cause trouble and waste precious funds on it.

"Haha, is this right? Bing Ying and Bai Du, if we work together, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will lose. Only by cooperating can we continue to develop in our respective fields, otherwise we will only give opportunities to latecomers.

Don’t forget, you two are not the only ones in China’s Internet search industry. Abroad, especially in Silicon Valley, there are countless search companies coveting the Chinese market.

If you want to compete with it, you must understand that before fighting against external forces, you must first settle within. "Xiong Xiaoge warned.

Xu Liang nodded, "We will only be an independent search engine, there is no doubt about it."

The three of them looked at Li Yanhong.

The latter affirmed: "We focus on the enterprise market."

"Haha, that's right. Once the misunderstanding is resolved, everyone will become friends. Come, let's have a drink." Xiong Xiaoge suggested.

"cheers."

Everyone took a sip of wine from their glasses.

"Mr. Xu, now that Hongmeng is developing so well, have you ever considered financing?" Fu Jixun asked.

"Haha, old man, I have asked Mr. Xu this question countless times, and he has been rejected countless times." Xiong Xiaoge said with a smile.

"Yeah?"

He looked at Xu Liang with questioning eyes.

"Hongmeng is not large now, and the money we earn is enough for current development. When we need financing for rapid development, we will definitely find you two."

"So Mr. Xu has already had a financing plan?" Fu Jixun asked.

"There are no plans yet, but I believe that as the company develops, we will soon have one."

Although Hongmeng Games' revenue is sufficient for the company's current development, once it expands internationally and investments and mergers and acquisitions can easily reach hundreds of millions of dollars, Hongmeng's revenue may not be enough.

Moreover, for the opportunity on September 11 this year, he will also provide Hongmeng with a sum of money.

Fu Jixun's eyes lit up, "When?"

"If nothing else happens, it will be this year. As for the specific time, I will inform you two again."

Xiong Xiaoge regretted that he would not have brought Fu Jixun here if he had known it earlier. He had taken away many opportunities to invest in Hongmeng.

However, this thought was abandoned by him in a flash.

Hongmeng Financing will definitely not give all its shares to IDG. In the future, with a well-cooperated Kleiner Perkins Caufield \u0026 Byers, both parties can join forces to lower Hongmeng’s price.

"Brother Xu, have we made an agreement? Hongmeng Financing must inform us." Xiong Xiaoge said.

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely notify you two."

Xu Liang smiled.

This time he will definitely control these two people and dig some holes for them.

Li Yanhong looked at the scene in front of her, feeling secretly envious.

When Baidu was raising funds, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and finally managed to attract investment. Now, IDG and Kleiner Perkins Caufield \u0026 Byers are begging Hongmeng for financing, but they still ignore them.

This huge contrast made him fully realize the importance of cash flow and profitability.

Secretly made up his mind.

"We must build the enterprise market."

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal thoroughly, and the party ended at half past nine.

After declining Xiong Xiaoge's suggestion to go to KTV to be cool, Xu Liang went home.
