Chapter 415

"Hello Henry walked up to Robin Li and greeted him with a smile. "Are you Robin Li?"

Robin Li looked at Henry and nodded, "Hello, I am Robin Li! Excuse me, are you... "

"My name is William!" Henry smiles, introduces himself briefly, and then asks, "I heard that you worked for Infoseek in the United States, and invented hyperchain analysis?"

"That's right!" Robin Li replied with a slight reply. At the same time, a pair of eyes stared at each other with puzzled eyes. Obviously, they know themselves well.

Henry smiled lightly and said to Robin Li, "I've studied hyperlink analysis before. It's one of the top search algorithms, even if compared with Isearch's PageRank."

"Ha ha, thank you very much Robin Li could not help but see a look of pride on his face when he heard this.

"Is Mr. Li planning to start his own business when he comes back to China this time?" Asked Henry.

"Yes, I started an Internet search engine company with several partners a month ago! The name of the company is Baidu Robin Li explained with a smile, "the word" Baidu "is taken from a poem in Xin Qiji's case of" Qing Yu an "." dream is looking for him, and suddenly he turns back, but the man is in the dim lights. "

"Looking for him in my dream? Well, not bad. The name of Baidu has achieved good results Henry nodded and praised, then stopped and asked directly, "Mr. Li, does Baidu need to invest?"

Robin Li heard the speech, not from a moment, "are you a VC company?"

"I'm an angel investor!" Henry light way, "how, Mr. Li, google is willing to accept angel investment?"

"Yes, of course..." Robin Li nodded with a glimmer of excitement. "Internet Co is a company that burns money. Now it is the Internet cold winter. Very few VCs are willing to invest in us. Besides you, only IDG is willing to invest US $1 million. "

Henry did not feel frown, "excuse me, google whether accepted IDG investment?" Robin Li invented the hyper chain analysis, which is regarded as a top talent in the industry. He returned home to start his own business. Some VC companies naturally prefer him. It's not that long after the company was founded, IDG was willing to invest.

"We haven't reached an agreement yet. We still have some disputes on the stock right for the time being!" Robin Li didn't hide it and said to Henry, "IDG wants 30% of Baidu Inc's shares. I don't agree with that. I'm willing to give it 20% of the shares at most! "

Henry said, "well, you're right to do that. Baidu uses hyperchain analysis, in the Chinese market, in addition to Isearch company, no one can rival! IDG wants to exchange $1 million for 30% of its shares. It's greedy! "

Henry secretly said that it's better to stir up IDG's investment in Baidu. In this way, he can occupy more shares in Baidu.

Robin Li could not be surprised when he listened to Henry. Only investors have been seen to belittle the value of the company, so that they can get more shares at a cheaper price. But now they are against it... For a moment, Robin Li is puzzled.

Henry smiled and said to Robin Li, "look, if I invest $3 million, how much Baidu do you want to give me? One million dollars, you are willing to give IDG venture capital 20% shares, three million dollars, I do not want more, how about 51%

“……”

Robin Li immediately became silent, and the decision was so great that he had to think twice before he acted. If the venture capitalists control 51% of the shares, they will be in full control of the company, and the company will become someone else's company, which is not in line with their original intention. However, google is in urgent need of huge funds for development... Maybe it can reduce the investment of the other party, so as to reduce the number of shares held by the other party. However, it is impossible to talk about the specific investment situation for a while. After all, this is not an occasion for negotiation. It's good for both sides to reach an intention.

"Mr. William, I'm sorry I can't reply to you for the time being. You know, it's very important. I need to discuss it with some other partners! " Robin Li took out a name card from his bag and handed it to Henry, which had the address and telephone number of the company. "Mr. William, if you have time, you can come to the Baidu Inc. We will have further negotiations. How do you feel about that? Or, let's have a door-to-door negotiation! "

Henry took the card and looked at it. Then he put it in his right pocket. "Sure, I have plenty of time tomorrow. I'll come to your company to negotiate then! The time is set at 4:30 p.m. after the talk, let's have dinner together! " Henry said with a smile.

"No problem, very welcome. It's my treat then!" Robin Li said happily.

At this time, a middle-aged foreigner in a black suit came over.

"Mr. Li, what are you talking about? You look very happy! This is... "

Robin Li smiled at him, then introduced to the two sides: "this is Mr. Green Gardner, the executive director of IDG Asia, this is Mr. William..."

Henry didn't want IDG people to know that he was going to invest in Baidu, so he immediately interrupted, "yes, my name is William, a friend whom Robin Li has just known. Oh, nice to meet you, Mr. Green Gardner

"Nice to meet you, too, Mr. William!"

Henry said with a smile, "well, by the way, I see an acquaintance. I have to go and say hello to him. You two chat slowly!"

Henry waved to them and said goodbye.

Zhou Hongyi had already seen Henry. He just saw that he was discussing things with other people, so he didn't bother him.

"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect you to be here, too?" Henry walked up to Zhou Hongyi with a smile.

"Yes. This is the China Internet Summit. Although the scale of 3721 company is very small, we can't miss such an important event. "

"Well, that's right." Henry laughed and asked, "well, have you thought about all my offers?"

"Not yet." Zhou Hongyi shook his head.

"It's OK. There's still time for you to think."

Henry asked for a glass of champagne from the waiter and sat on a sofa in the corner with Zhou Hongyi.

Zhou Hongyi then asked, "Mr. William, is the Robin Li who you chatted with just now?"

"What? Do you know each other? " Henry looked at him a faint smile on one's face. "Yes, he is indeed called Robin Li!"

Zhou Hongyi said: "he has a small reputation in Zhongguancun. It is said that he has developed the hyperchain analysis search algorithm, which is one of the top search algorithms even in the United States! Not long ago, he set up a search engine company in Zhongguancun! It's like Baidu... "After that, Zhou Hongyi quietly looked at Henry's expression.

3721 and Baidu are obviously competitors.

Zhou Hongyi had to worry that if Henry invested in Baidu, he might not invest in 3721.

Henry naturally understood Zhou Hongyi's thoughts and said to him, "yes, he also invited me to visit their company."

"Yes, Mr. William?" Zhou Hongyi asked nervously.

"Well, yes!"

On hearing this, Zhou Hongyi's face became a little ugly“ If Mr. William invests in Baidu, what about 3721? " Zhou Hongyi's computer suddenly ran like a crazy machine, "no, I must stop him and make things yellow!"

"Mr. William," he said, "compared with Baidu, 3721 has some differences in search technology, but in terms of marketing means, Baidu can't beat 3721! Can Baidu's technology be better than Isearch's in the Chinese market? Obviously not! So, if you want to steal a piece of territory from Isearch, you must make a surprise victory! "
