My Age of Investment

  Chapter 441 Red Cannon (seeking monthly ticket)

  Standing at the entrance of South Beauty Restaurant, Xia Jingxing glanced at the "Facial Makeup" Logo on the signboard.

   smiled, retracted his eyes and thoughts, and led Zhang Chenguang into the restaurant.

  After reporting the room number to the front desk attendant, the other party led the way and led Xia Jingxing to an elegant and quiet room.

  As soon as Xia Jingxing entered the box, two middle-aged men wearing glasses greeted him.

   "Mr. Xia, lucky to meet!"

  The first to shake hands with Xia Jingxing was a middle-aged man dressed in black T-shirt, wearing glasses, about 40 years old, and a loud voice with a hint of a northeastern accent.

   "Hello, President Qi!"

  Xia Jingxing shook hands with each other while looking at the middle-aged man named Qi Xiangdong.

  Many outsiders don’t know that this is the original founder of Qihoo 360.

  Another man wearing a red T-shirt, about thirty-five and sixty.

  He waited for Qi Xiangdong to shake hands with Xia Jingxing before coming forward.

   "Mr. Xia, hello, this is Zhou Hongyi."

  Xia Jingxing shook hands with the other party while chatting, and looked at the red dress on the other party.

  It seems that the other party really has a soft spot for red, otherwise it won’t win the nickname of "Red Cannon".

   Chen Yizhou said that the smartest person in Hubei Province is also top-notch, and he has never been frightened.

  However, Xia Jingxing had just returned from the United States, and had no grievances with him, and even took the initiative to invite him to dinner, but did not talk nonsense, but rather politely exchanged greetings with Xia Jingxing.

"Who is this?"

  Qi Xiangdong looked at Zhang Chenguang.

   "This is my assistant. Just call Xiao Zhang."

  Seeing that Xia Jingxing didn't mean to introduce too much, Qi Xiangdong and Zhou Hongyi did not ask, they shook hands with Zhang Chenguang, even if they had said hello.

After the four of them were seated separately, Qi Xiangdong opened the chatterbox and asked, "Mr. Xia, the deal between Envision Capital and Ari should be almost over, right?"

  Qi Xiangdong was once the general manager of 3721. After 3721 was acquired by Yahoo, he served as the vice president of Yahoo China. The president is Zhou Hongyi.

After receiving the news from Yahoo headquarters, the two chose to leave.

  But because of his high position, I also know that Envision Capital has also joined this super-large financing and M&A case.

  So Xia Jingxing did not hide it, nodded and said, "The due diligence has come to the end, and the news will be announced soon."

Zhou Hongyi on the side of    smiled and said, “Yahoo did a good deal, and exchanged Yahoo China for the shares of Ari without losing money.”

  Qi Xiangdong kicked the unobstructed old man under the table, implying him not to talk too much.

  He is an old man who is good at everything, just loves the sky and the air.

  Xia Jingxing didn't notice the movement under the table, only saw Qi Xiangdong give Zhou Hongyi a look.

  He thought it was funny.

  "I know a thing or two about the two people in Yahoo China."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: “Foreign companies entering China have this common problem. They don’t trust the Chinese and don’t think they are doing well.

  Failure and frustration are inevitable, and I cannot blame others.

  The previous 3721 was still doing a good job. Even I was in the United States and heard the name of this product. "

  This is Xia Jingxing’s nonsense. He has never heard of 3721 in the United States, but this website still has a certain reputation in China.

  Commercial exaggeration can increase goodwill and increase the possibility of cooperation. Xia Jingxing feels that this is really not false.

   Soon, Zhou Hongyi, who heard good things in his ears, regarded Xia Jingxing as a man of sensible things, and suffered greatly.

   "Mr. Xia, you don't know how disgusting Yahoo headquarters is, and if you approve tens of thousands of dollars in funding, you still want me to write notes."

  "I think the Yahoo gang are too lazy, and they don’t have the energy of the start-up employees at all, so I proposed to revise the performance appraisal.

  Hey, guess what? Yahoo’s employees reported to the headquarters and reported me. "

   Zhou Hongyi became more and more angry, with a beard blowing and staring.

  After so long, the other party has not been able to let go, which shows how angry the other party is.

  Xia Jingxing felt funny secretly, listening to Zhou Hongyi's tone, even if Yang Zhiyuan personally apologized to him, he didn't want to exchange his forgiveness.

  Qi Xiangdong is also a person who has personally experienced these unbearable things in the past, but he saw it more openly than Zhou Hongyi, and said with a smile: "Alright, Lao Zhou, let him pass by.

  Now Yahoo China is about to be merged into Ari, there is nothing left to let go. "

   Zhou Hongyi said angrily: "That's what it deserves. If you listen to me a long time ago, you won't end up here."

  Qi Xiangdong frowned, how come he gets more addicted?

  So Qi Xiangdong hurriedly raised his glass and changed the topic, "Come on, Lao Zhou, let's have a drink to President Xia. He is in the United States, but he has made our name as a Chinese Internet person.

  Aren’t Americans very arrogant? It is clamoring that the Chinese do not understand the Internet.

  But Mr. Xia taught the Americans a good lesson, and also gave a sigh of relief to the Chinese Internet people..."

  Qi Xiangdong worked in Xinhua News Agency for 17 years, and he was also promoted to the post of deputy director of the Communications Technology Bureau.

  Xia Jingxing repeatedly expressed his humility.

   Being interrupted by Qi Xiangdong, Zhou Hongyi also forgot about Yahoo’s unhappiness, raised his glass and met Xia Jingxing, and said with a smile:

   "I'm not easy to convince people when I'm old Zhou, you can count on Xia, from an 18-year-old student studying in the United States to the owner of a tens of billions of dollars in a company!"

  The red cannon raised his thumb, "It's really a legend!"

  Xia Jingxing was amused by the cannons in the red dress, and had to give it back: "3721 created the first Chinese Internet service, which facilitated Chinese Internet users to access the Internet, which is also very admirable.

  When I was having dinner with Chen Yizhou a few days ago, he also praised you as the smartest person in Hubei Province, and Lei Jun could only rank second. "

   Zhou Hongyi smiled "Hey", "Chen Yizhou, that kid is a big mouth, he dare to say anything."

  Xia Jingxing touched her nose. You said that is a bit inappropriate, right?

The three of them ate food, drank wine, and talked about the development of the industry. After the three drinks and they were familiar with each other, Qi Xiangdong asked: "Mr. Xia, you are looking for a drink with us today. There should be other things to talk about. Bar?"

  Xia Jingxing waited for the other person’s question and nodded, “I heard that President Qi founded a company called Qihoo after he left?”

"good!"

  Qi Xiangdong and Zhou Hongyi looked at each other, and the former faintly replied.

"search!"

  Xia Jingxing pursed his mouth and smiled, glanced at the two of them, and said, "If I guessed correctly, the two are not reconciled to this market."

  Qi Xiangdong didn’t know where Xia Jingxing heard such secret news. He didn’t tell the truth casually, but was sloppy:

  "Now search is Baidu's world, and the Internet company with the highest market value in China, who dares to lightly smash its opponents!

  Ari has the support of various giants from Vision Capital, Yahoo, and SoftBank, and it is bound to gain a foothold in the search field.

  We Qihoo has just been established, and currently we want to build a community, forum or something.

  This is not the era of WEB2.0, don’t be afraid of Mr. Xia, you laugh, we also want to chase the wind. "

  Xia Jingxing had no choice but to point out, “Community search, I understand, this is looking for a blank space between several companies.”

  Qi Xiangdong gave Zhou Hongyi a glance. The latter had an innocent look. This was really not what he revealed. He and Xia Jingxing only met today for the first time. Where can they reveal it?

Now that Qi Xiangdong doesn’t care about revealing the project’s problems, he barely squeezes out a smile and asks: “Mr. Xia, I admit that Qihoo is currently working on a small project and it will be officially launched in a few days. ?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "I want to invest in you."
