My Age of Investment

  Chapter 501 Raise a white flag and add both hands (seeking monthly ticket)

  Beijing.

  South Beauty Restaurant.

  At the same place and the same private room, Zhou Hongyi asked Xia Jingxing back again.

  Xia Jingxing was a little surprised when the other party called.

  Because it has been almost four months since the last goodbye, Zhou Hongyi has been hanging him, and he has been hanging Zhou Hongyi. The two sides ignored each other and played psychological tactics.

  Zhou Hongyi took the initiative to call, using very clever words, saying that Xia Jingxing invited him and Lao Qi to dinner last time. It was reasonable and reasonable, and he wanted to call back again.

  So, Xia Jingxing went to the banquet with Fu Jixun.

  Fu Jixun met the two of them a few times, they were all in the same circle, and they were not unfamiliar. After a few simple greetings, they sat down to drink and eat together.

   "President Xia, I heard that Envision Capital invested tens of millions of dollars in AutoNavi Software. Congratulations on your next city!"

   Zhou Hongyi picked up the wine glass and touched Xia Jingxing with a look of joy.

  Xia Jingxing muttered in her heart, does this have anything to do with you Qihoo? Why are you happier than me, a client?

  Qi Xiangdong smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, here, I will sue you first.

  Since the last time we left, it has been almost four months, and Envision Capital has not contacted us again.

  We thought that Envision Capital had no investment ideas, so we contacted IDG, CDH, Jingwei and Sequoia. "

  Xia Jingxing waved his hand, "Hey, what does this have to do with it?

  I am also busy during this time, busy planning to establish a number of sub-funds, and the official landing of offices in Magic Capital, Hong Kong, and Beijing. "

  Qi Xiangdong said "Oh", and asked in a very casual tone: "If Qihoo restarts financing now, is there any interest in Envision Capital to participate?"

As soon as    said these words, Qi Xiangdong and Zhou Hongyi both looked at Xia Jingxing at the same time.

   "Haha, if the pre-investment valuation is still 20 million US dollars, we definitely can't afford it! It's too expensive!"

  Xia Jingxing now doesn't know what the two are thinking, so she laughs and starts a joke.

   "Mr. Xia, now and then, after the launch of Qihoo's community search, it is still very popular and successful."

  Qi Xiangdong's words, Xia Jingxing didn't believe it at all. It should be Qihoo that encountered soft nails in several other venture capital institutions.

  Fu Jixun smiled and said: “Community search is a small and beautiful business. It is done with heart. As long as Baidu and Google don’t come in, they should still be able to make some achievements.”

   Zhou Hongyi said with a grin: "I'm not afraid of their two families. When I was doing 3721, it was not that I had never dealt with Baidu.

  As for Google, let's talk about it when they land! I said I was going to enter China, and I had shouted for half a year, but I hadn't come in yet.

  Now it has settled with Microsoft's lawsuit, and Li Guanfu has officially performed his duties, and he is still ditching.

  I said before that these foreign-funded companies are not efficient. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, Zhou Hongyi's self-confident look, he guessed that it should be all pretended, but he has already panicked a lot, but he still has to pretend to be forced in front of investors to facilitate subsequent negotiations.

  Although there was no contact with the two of them during this period, Envision Capital has been paying attention to Qihoo's development secretly.

  Community search, a narrow path that cannot be narrowed, not to mention search giants, it takes a lot of effort to raise a listed company.

  In the past few months, he has watched Qihoo fight vigorously in this field. Although the water splashed a little, it was not big.

  Light relying on this thing is not enough to make him make concessions.

   "Come on, drink!"

  Xia Jingxing kept silent about financing, raised his glass, smiled and greeted Zhou Hongyi and Qi Xiangdong for a drink.

  Fu Jixun understood what the boss meant, and after Xia Jingxing had finished drinking with the two of them, he continued to toast again.

  After a few glasses of white wine, Zhou Hongyi's face became even redder under the shining of a red down jacket.

  He shook his head, which was a little dizzy, "Mr. Xia, just give me a support..."

   "Thank you?"

  Xia Jingxing pretended not to understand, and nodded repeatedly, "It's okay, if you drink too much later, I will ask you to go back."

  Qi Xiangdong saw this scene from the side, secretly anxious.

  The contact between them and several other venture capital institutions is indeed not smooth.

  Investment institutions are not open shantangs, especially since their products have only just been launched, it is not difficult to raise tens of millions of dollars.

  Even if 3721, which sold for 120 million US dollars, is endorsed, investors are not that easy to fool.

  Qihoo wants to use "community search" as the entry point and develop a little bit of all-category search, undoubtedly launching a challenge to the new king Baidu. There is also a Google outside.

  To be the enemy of these two giants, you have to weigh whoever you want to change.

  In the words of full-time poet and part-time investor Wang Gongquan: This is a Don Quixote-style charge, ten years of life and death!

  Although the words and phrases of “Chinese and Western fusion” are a bit weird, Qi Xiangdong still understands it. Wang Gongquan is not optimistic that they can stroke the beards of Baidu and Google.

  Wang Gongquan had an unusual friendship with the two of them. In 1999, 3721 received 5 million US dollars in angel investment, which was invested by Wang Gongquan who was working at IDG at that time.

  Now even the elder brothers who have "acquaintances" are not optimistic about them, they can't do anything, they have to come and eat the grass of Envision Capital.

  But the two did not want to show their timidity. At the dinner table, they repeatedly boasted about Qihoo's current achievements.

In the eyes of Xia Jingxing, this is actually a manifestation of a guilty conscience.

  Or from the moment Zhou Hongyi called him, the two had already lost.

  Now the two still don’t want to take the initiative to "recognize counseling" at the dinner table, Xia Jingxing also let them, deliberately accompany them to drink, chat, go in circles, not mentioning anything about financing.

  Even Zhou Hongyi wanted to take the initiative to speak, but Xia Jingxing turned him off, and did not answer.

   is so arrogant!

  Qi Xiangdong was in a dilemma at this time. He had already asked a question just now, but was turned off by Xia Jingxing's topic.

   asked again now, that really raised the white flag and raised both hands.

  Don’t ask, I missed Vision Capital, and I don’t know how other institutions will devour them alive!

  Qi Xiangdong winked at Zhou Hongyi again and again, but the latter seemed to be completely invisible. He drank high and kept bragging with Xia Jingxing.

   "Mr. Xia, I know you are young and promising, but I am not bad for Zhou!"

   Hearing this, Xia Jingxing felt that the other party was really drinking too much, so he had to smile politely and nodded in agreement, “Yes, speaking of you Zhou Hongyi, who does not give your thumbs up on the Internet in China, the fighting power is bursting!”

Zhou Hongyi was very satisfied with Xia Jingxing’s praise. He had a strong conversation and continued: "Don’t believe me. After I graduated with a master’s degree, as soon as I entered Founder, I took down the "Fangzheng’s Flower". At that time, Hu Huan, oh, I Wife is almost getting married with someone else, and it's time to talk about marriage.

  I directly hacked into the Shuimu Tsinghua forum and found her ID..."

  Xia Jingxing did not expect that there are so many hot stories. It seems that Red Cannon is not a gangster once or twice. It has already become a habit and has penetrated into the bones.

  Qi Xiangdong winked wildly, his eyes were almost blind, but Zhou Hongyi still turned a deaf ear, and waved his hand at the former, "Old Qi, what are you staring at? Stop staring."

   "President Qi, let's drink, I respect you!"

  Fu Jixun acted as a fire attractor and stopped Qi Xiangdong.

  "In 2002, Baidu, Ari, and Netease were still struggling for profit and were on the verge of bankruptcy. 3721 had achieved annual revenue of 140 million yuan and net profit of 60 million yuan."

   Zhou Hongyi looks drunk, but it is difficult to hide the pride in his eyes.

   "At the Spring Festival Gala that year, I directly spent 20 million yuan. The ad slogan, "No matter the three seven twenty one, it’s easier to surf the Internet in Chinese," the slogan was posted all over the CCTV."

  This is the profitability of the ancestor of rogue software 3721. Xia Jingxing didn't feel much surprised. After all, it was claimed to have installed capacity of 70 million computers.

   "I have no other meaning when I say this. I just want to state the fact that I can make money.

  It is the most important thing for shareholders to manage the means and make money.

   And in the competition, whether it is love or shopping malls, I have never admitted defeat. This is also a necessary quality for an entrepreneur. "

Zhou Hongyi was drunk and understood, and looked at Xia Jingxing with red eyes, and continued to mumble: "You should be interested in Qihoo, so let's just open it up! If you vote for us, you will definitely not suffer. ."

   Yo, finally raised the white flag? Even the red cannon said soft words?

   Although proud in her heart, Xia Jingxing's face is very calm.

  Under the gaze of Zhou Hongyi and Qi Xiangdong, Xia Jingxing unhurriedly pulled a paper towel from the table, wiped his mouth, and took another sip of tea.

  It's not that he has to pretend, but that one of the processes must be taken, and he will overwhelm the other in terms of momentum.

  Now the other party took the initiative to pass the knife over, no need to be soft.
