Super Tycoon

After arranging the work, he returned to school to continue writing the thesis. After the revision, the professor expressed his satisfaction and asked him to concentrate on preparing for the defense.

In fact, the professor also has some understanding of Zhang Yang's resume. He is the son of Zhang Weiguang, the chairman of the newly established Zhiduoxing Group, and has been appointed as the director and president of the group.

It can be regarded as the most promising student among the students he taught. After all, a large enterprise with more than 20,000 people in management is still a multinational enterprise.

It's just that he always feels that Zhang Yang is sometimes overconfident, and his views on some issues are very firm. He once mentioned it to Zhang Yang, but it turned out that Zhang Yang was right.

He found that he had nothing left to teach Zhang Yang, and the rest should be practiced and accumulated experience. If he was in Zhang Yang's position, Zhang Yang might not have done as well.

Seeing that it was going to be the May 1st holiday, Zhang Yang was going to visit the factory in Sichuan and Shu, when he suddenly received a call, the content of the call surprised him.

"You said that someone approached us to invest, and you said we would definitely be interested? Isn't it a game?"

It's not a game, why should I be interested. The game industry is my business, and other investments are just to make money to supplement the game industry.

"President, I originally wanted them to leave, but their product, I find it very interesting, has something to do with what you said in the last meeting, and it can help Battle.net to promote faster."

Zhang Yang looked at Xiao Wang: "Really? Then what do they do?"

"The software they make is called instant messaging software, which allows people at both ends of the network to directly send text messages, which is more convenient than email. I think this is similar to the chat window that Battle.net wants to improve."

Zhang Yang sat up straight suddenly: "What are their names, and what software are they developing?" New 81 Chinese website is updated fastest.

"The one they developed is called OICQ, which should have been developed based on foreign ICQ. I also brought the business cards of two people, one named Ma Huateng and the other named Zhang Zhidong."

Sure enough, they were the two founders of the Penguin Company, future regulars on the China Rich List.

"Where are they?"

"We're waiting at the McDonald's near the company. Do you want to call them over?"

"Xiao Wang, didn't I tell you that the company needs to be warm in hospitality, why don't you invite others to wait in the reception room? You won't be allowed to do this in the future."

Xiao Wang opened his mouth, why did he remember that two people came to the president last time, he left them in the reception room, and was reprimanded by the president, saying that not everyone can enter the company reception room.

Well, what the leader said is always right, it seems that we need to distinguish carefully in the future.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Yang walked into the small reception room, and the two young people inside immediately stood up. Although he is a young man, he is actually older than Zhang Yang.

"Two, this is Zhang Yang, the director and president of our Zhiduoxing Holding Group. President, the one on the left is Ma Huateng, and the one on the right is Zhang Zhidong, who came from Pengcheng."

"He came from the special zone. The development of the special zone is very fast, and the two must be among the leaders." Zhang Yang stretched out his hand with a smile.

Ma Huateng immediately stretched out his hands, squeezed it and released it, Zhang Zhidong grabbed it with both hands and squeezed it firmly, his posture was very low.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your compliment. We came here this time to seek investment from Mr. Zhang. This product of ours will definitely have great potential in the future. It can make communication seamless, so I hope Mr. Zhang can give us an investment.

"

As soon as Ma Huateng sat down, he spoke eagerly. There is no way, the company's capital chain will be broken. It didn't cost much to develop this product, but the promotion was too expensive.

He and Zhang Zhidong had a lot of savings, but they didn't spend it at all. Without the injection of funds, their company will go bankrupt.

Starting all over again is easier said than done.

Zhang Yang leaned on the sofa: "I have heard of your products, but it seems that you are not the only one in China. This is an imitation of ICQ abroad. Have you ever thought that just this name alone is easy to be accused of infringement? "

Infringement? The name is different, why is it an infringement? In terms of icons, there are also some differences. Although they are a bit similar, they are definitely not the same.

"Why, do you think you don't care about it? This is considered a borderline ball. If you are not careful, you will cross the line."

"You say this product is promising, so tell me, how do you make money? I invest a sum of money in you, how do you ensure that I can make a profit, and how long will it take to make a profit?"

This is a question that investors must ask. Before coming, Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong also discussed it. The two looked at each other, and it was Ma Huateng who spoke.

"Mr. Zhang, our product is instant messaging, and this service is free. We can earn a certain amount of income by capturing more users and then pushing advertisements. We can also provide some value-added services, such as purchasing new functions after they are launched. Only those who have obtained our VIP can use it first."

"Also, we can sign contracts with some companies to provide them with some services, such as creating a group chat interface that everyone can see."

"Or you can cooperate with some online platforms to facilitate communication between platform users, and these can make money."

"It is estimated that we will not start to make a profit until three years later. At that time, our number of users will definitely exceed one million. As long as one percent of the number of users consumes, that is 10,000 people. Besides, the number of users must be more than one million. There will be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people using it in the future, so can’t this make money?”

Zhang Yang raised his legs: "What you are talking about now are all vague concepts. How to operate it? No, right? I can invest in the other two instant messaging companies. Why do I have to invest in your company? Give me one reason."

This has a feeling of interviewing a future boss, which makes Zhang Yang feel particularly refreshed.

"Because our products are more dynamic, because we understand Chinese better, and because we can earn enough money for investors." Zhang Zhidong replied quickly.

Zhang Yang didn't speak, Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong were a little uneasy. They have also approached some bosses to solicit investment before, but those bosses are not optimistic about their products, thinking that there is no potential, and the investment is in vain.

Why can't they see the potential of this company? The two people who were born in communications knew very well that if they caught users, they would definitely make money.

"How much do you want? How much is the company's current assets?" Zhang Yang finally asked.

"Currently the company's assets are worth tens of millions. We hope to get tens of millions of financing, and we can give Mr. Zhang 45% of the shares."

After Ma Huateng finished speaking, Zhang Zhidong had a surprised expression on his face. Is the company worth so much money?

"Your company is not worth that much money. 10 million, 51% of the shares. If you need funds later, I can continue to invest."

"And I can promise that the operation and management of the company will still be handed over to the two of you, and I will not interfere. No one else will agree to this."

"I can also let you package and download with Battle.net. This will increase your number of users, you know. And in the future, you can download your products on the official website of Zhiduoxing, and will promote this product within Zhiduoxing." starter

"I have set out the conditions. In fact, I also found someone to develop instant messaging software. This business can be merged into your company. Whether you agree or not is up to you."
