Chapter 414

Isearch brand has been well-known all over the world and adheres to the principle of "not doing evil". Therefore, it is difficult for Henry to let Isearch help the Chinese government control public opinion.

But Henry couldn't let go of the Chinese market, so he thought about it. If he couldn't, he secretly controlled other search companies.

At present, 3721 is an opportunity. The competition in China's Internet market is disorderly and chaotic. Zhou Hongyi is in 3721. It's certain to play hooligans. Therefore, 3721 will stand out!

"It's not too big, but it's OK considering that you are a start-up company..." Henry asked Zhou Hongyi at this time, "has 3721 company accepted investment from other venture capital institutions before?"

Zhou Hongyi shook his head, "no!"

"Well, how much are you going to raise?" Asked Henry.

"A million dollars!"

Zhou Hongyi looked at Henry with expectant eyes. Henry laughed and nodded, "one million dollars is OK, but how many shares are you going to take out?"

Obviously, Zhou Hongyi had already thought about it and directly replied, "20%..."

"Mr. Zhou, I can invest $2.5 million in 3721 company, but I want 40% of the shares! After that, if there is a financing plan, I will lead the investment and invite many companies to participate! " Henry asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhou Hongyi, what do you think?"

Zhou Hongyi frowned. The other party's shares were too high. 40% of the shares could hold 3721 company. This requirement really embarrassed him. In his mind, Zhou Hongyi is engaged in a battle between heaven and man. On the one hand, if he gets the investment, 3721 will be able to make great strides in development. On the other hand, he will be in danger of losing the company. There are many examples of founders being kicked out by investors

The coffee shop here is also very high-end, next to a young beauty playing a melodious violin. Henry picked up his coffee cup and began to drink it. Lu Zhishan looked at him and they laughed tacitly.

After a minute or two, Zhou Hongyi raised his head and looked at Henry. "Mr. William, please allow me to think about it for a few days." He pleaded.

Henry thought about it and nodded, "then I'll give you three days. I will leave China in three days

"Thank you, Mr. William!" Zhou Hongyi said with a happy face.

At this time, Henry tore off a note paper from the desk, and then wrote down a mobile phone number, "call me if you want." With that, Henry handed the note to Zhou Hongyi. Zhou Hongyi carefully put the note paper into his coat pocket, and then said goodbye to Henry and Lu Zhishan.

Looking at the back of Zhou Hongyi's departure, Lu Zhishan said to Henry, "I can see that he has a strong desire to control 3721. It's not easy for you to get 40% of the shares. But you already have Isearch. Why invest in such a small company? "

"Any company is going from small to big. 3721 company may pose a threat to Isearch company, so the best way is to invest and acquire it, so as to completely kill the possible threat! " Henry said with a smile, "2.5 million dollars is not enough for Internet companies. 3721 company will definitely have the second and third round of financing! At that time, I will organize several companies to join hands and get the absolute control of the whole 3721 company. Finally, even if 3721 develops, it's making money for me! "

Lu Zhishan nodded, "that's reasonable. However, in three days, he should go to other VC companies for help! "

"Never mind! Before accepting other venture capital investments, he will definitely talk to me again. It's a big deal to invest more in him. " Henry said with a confident smile, "3721 company, I'm sure of it!"

Lu Zhishan suddenly thought of something and said to Henry, "Oh, by the way, I heard that Zhongguancun in Beijing will hold the" China Internet Summit "tonight. Most of China's Internet companies will send people to attend. I think you should be very interested... As for the specific address, just ask someone for it."

"China Internet Summit?" Henry murmured, thinking, this is really a good opportunity to contact more Chinese Internet companies. The Chinese government can block foreign websites, but domestic websites will not. Henry grinned and secretly acquired all the promising Internet companies in China. It's not the same!

The big shareholders of bat are all foreign companies, so Henry has a chance to complete the absolute control secretly! The founder of China's Internet companies can be reduced to a puppet, who will be ousted if he doesn't obey.

……

At 8 pm, Beijing Cuigong Hotel, a newly built 5-star hotel, is located at 76 Zhichun Road, Haidian District, Beijing. With its luxurious interior decoration, luxurious environment, complete facilities, warm service and advantageous geographical location, the hotel has become the preferred business hotel for IT professionals in Zhongguancun area. Therefore, the China Internet Summit is also held here.

This time, Henry only came with his bodyguards. The invitation letter was obtained by Lu Zhishan for Henry.

At the moment, the hotel is full of people.

Some leaders of Zhongguancun have already spoken on the stage, crackling a lot, all praising the development of China's Internet. Henry is almost sleepy.

After the leaders finished their speech, they invited the CEOs of some representative companies to speak on the stage.

Ding Lei, the founder of Netease, was the first one to come on stage.

Netease was founded early in 1997, with its headquarters in Guangzhou. Netease is the third Chinese portal after global online and ICQ, with a market share of 15%. Now, because of the influence of Henry's butterfly effect, the Internet bubble is ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, the creation time of NetEase is just what the Internet bubble burst, so NetEase's development is very difficult, and few people are willing to invest.

3721, founded by Zhou Hongyi, was also seriously affected in this environment. Otherwise, Zhou Hongyi will not break his leg and walk out of the venture capital company. In previous lives, as long as there was a good project and then found a venture capital institution, it was easy to get the first capital.

At present, venture capital institutions are very cautious and will not easily invest in Internet companies.

Henry took a glass of wine on the table, sipping and watching the others.

There were a lot of familiar faces, but to Henry's surprise, Zhou Hongyi was also there. At the same time, Henry also saw the founder of Baidu Robin Li!

Baidu is one of the big three of bat. In previous lives, people often compared Google with Baidu. Many years ago, the two companies established search companies almost at the same time, and both became industry giants. However, one is desperate to sell fake drug advertisements, and the other is desperate to upgrade high technology. The development of the two is quite different

Robin Li called Google a dream company while Baidu is a pragmatic company.

So what kind of company is Robin Li's pragmatic company? In fact, it's very simple. It's a company that makes money!

Making money is being pragmatic!

In order to make money, Baidu can be useless.

Henry originally thought Robin Li was still in the United States, because in his impression, Baidu was founded in 1999.

Robin Li invented the hyperlink analysis in 1996, that is, by analyzing the number of linked websites to evaluate the quality of the linked websites, which ensured that the more users were welcomed by users, the higher the content rankings were. And this is one of Baidu's core technologies in the future.

Isearch search uses Google's PageRank technology. PageRank determines the level of a page through the vast network of hyperlinks. The higher the level, the website will naturally rank in the front.

Whether hyperchain analysis or PageRank, it is an algorithm of web page ranking.

Robin Li was brilliant and later invited to work at Infoseek, a famous search engine company in Silicon Valley.

But he is a man with strong ambition and control, and he has to return to China every year for investigation. Once he feels that China's environment is mature, he will immediately return home to start a business. Nowadays, the development speed of China's Internet is faster than that of previous generations. Perhaps, he felt that the time was ripe to return home early to start a business.

Henry gulped down the wine and put down his glass. He gazed at Robin Li and walked towards him.
