What Xu Yiyang wants now is to seize the time to recruit talents.
I had been short of money before and couldn't do many things, or couldn't do them in a big way, but now, I came to Hong Kong Cao Chuan to borrow arrows, and I will soon have a lot of funds in hand.
In this case, the most important thing is to find someone who can spend the money. Otherwise, with the money, you will not be able to find someone who can handle such a large amount of funds, and you will have to use the money to manage your finances.
Product talents like Zhang Xiaolong are of far more value to themselves than just their immediate needs.
In the future, as the development of the Internet continues to deepen, more and more in-depth and professional good products will be needed.
When the time comes, it may not be possible to find someone else to control it.
But Zhang Xiaolong is definitely fine.
Liu Mingchao immediately contacted Zhang Xiaolong, and twenty minutes later, Xu Yiyang's cell phone rang.
The call came from a landline in Guangcheng.
Xu Yiyang immediately answered the phone, and a man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Xu?"
"Yes, I am, you are?"
The other party hurriedly said: "Hello, my name is Zhang Xiaolong. I am Liu Mingchao's senior brother and the developer of Foxmail."
Xu Yiyang immediately smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Zhang! You have been famous for a long time!"
"You're welcome." Zhang Xiaolong said humbly, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, I heard from Mingchao that you want to acquire Foxmail?"
"Yes." Xu Yiyang said: "If you sell Foxmail to me, I am willing to pay 15 million yuan, and it is a one-time payment, but you have to work in my company for five years, and I will give you an annual salary of 3 million yuan. "
Zhang Xiaolong was frightened by Xu Yiyang's offer.
When he received a call from Liu Mingchao just now, Liu Mingchao said the price was 15 million, but he didn't expect that the other party would even give him an annual salary of 3 million!
Nowadays, the number of people in China Internet Company who can get an annual salary of 3 million can be counted on one hand, right
Zhang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment and asked: "Mr. Xu, what do you need me to do? Or can you give me a general introduction to the development direction of your company?"
Xu Yiyang said calmly: "My company is to make the best products in the Internet field. No matter what field, as long as I do it, I must be the best!"
Zhang Xiaolong was quite surprised.
Most of the bosses he came into contact with, when they first talked about their direction and plans, they all wanted to become the top in the country, go to the United States to raise funds, go public in the United States, and lead their brothers to make a lot of money and reach the pinnacle of life.
Speaking of which, the pattern is very large.
However, few people can appropriately downsize the structure and focus on the essence of the Internet, that is, products.
Products are the essence of the Internet world. Whether it is a website, a software, a tool, a game, or a technology, in the final analysis, they are all products in the Internet field. Only by doing them well can we make powerful products. company of.
If Microsoft makes Windows a good product, it will become the best in the world;
Cisco can become an industry leader if it improves network transmission technology;
Intel, by designing chips to the extreme, can change the world...
For such a company, when it is in the startup stage, it must be thinking about how to make a good product, rather than how much money it will make or where it will be listed.
Therefore, he felt that Xu Yiyang's words were very attractive to him and gave him a feeling of like-mindedness.
Moreover, the conditions offered by the other party were too generous, 30 million in five years, far exceeding my expectations...
After thinking about this, he asked Xu Yiyang: "Mr. Xu, if I sell Foxmail to you, how long will it take to complete the transaction?"
What he is worried about is that Xu Yiyang promised 15 million, but gave up in the end. He is still talking about other buyers. If Xu Yiyang rejects other buyers because of Xu Yiyang, if Xu Yiyang suddenly changes his mind, his time will be in vain. Tossed.
Xu Yiyang said: "I will return to China Overseas on March 19. Then you can come to China Overseas directly to see me. When we meet, we will sign the contract and pay directly."
Zhang Xiaolong was relieved.
The two companies he was talking to both said they would not be able to get results until April, which meant that he could promise Xu Yiyang first that if anything happened to him on March 19, it would not affect the other two companies he was talking about.
So he immediately said to Xu Yiyang: "Then I will book a flight ticket to China Overseas on the 19th today!"
…
The successful recruitment of Zhang Xiaolong gave Xu Yiyang great confidence.
He now finds that the strategic map for his next business venture has become increasingly clear.
Since we are in this era, entrepreneurship should naturally focus on the Internet, supplemented by training, education and the clothing industry.
As for value-added services such as ringtones, they are kept there as cash cows, which will bring them a lot of cash flow in the next few years.
In fact, the industries Xu Yiyang chose are basically cash flow businesses.
Once the training, education and clothing industries become bigger, the cash flow will be very abundant. These two sectors are businesses with high profit margins and stable income. As long as the scale is large, they will definitely become cash cows.
If I hadn't been too ambitious and wanted to build Jiayang Education into New Oriental, its current profitability would have been able to provide me with a lot of cash flow support.
As for the Super
Once these businesses are established, the cash in hand will be inexhaustible.
The next one or two years will be a trough and ice period for the global Internet industry. The stock prices of NetEase and Sina will even fall to US$1 on Nasdaq.
If you have a lot of cash in your hands, you can go crazy on the Internet industry and wait a few years to make a bigger fortune.
Next, whether everything can develop smoothly depends on Nvidia's stock.
…
In the afternoon, the Faculty of Arts of HKU held an exchange meeting with the theme of "Hong Kong".
Hu Bingwen had already asked Xu Yiyang to prepare in advance, but Xu Yiyang was busy with his own business and didn't prepare anything.
At two o'clock, everyone went to the small auditorium to gather.
This exchange was a bit like a symposium, because there was no podium, just seven chairs placed on the stage of the auditorium.
On the back of the stage in the auditorium, there is a background board that reads "Student Exchange Meeting between the Faculty of Arts, University of Hong Kong and China Overseas International Studies School." In addition, the school badges of the two schools are also hung.
The process of the exchange meeting is that there are three student representatives from the School of Liberal Arts, three student representatives from China Overseas Education, plus an on-site host. Everyone discusses several issues related to Hong Kong on the stage and expresses their opinions.
There is no winner or loser in the exchange meeting itself. Everyone can just chat. However, although there is no apparent winner or loser, everyone knows in their hearts that this kind of thing is actually very explosive.
Whoever speaks well, makes sense, and convinces the audience will be the stronger party and can crush the other party at the same time.
Hu Bingwen didn't even know that the media was present. He saw several media outlets and even set up cameras. He began to feel like he was being fooled.
First of all, it was not said before that media reporters would be present at this exchange;
Secondly, the topics discussed in the exchange meeting were very general, which made it difficult for my classmates to prepare for specific topics. However, the host who was responsible for setting the topics was a beautiful female student from the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong. This means that the host and the exchange representative from the other party, the University of Hong Kong, are in the same camp. Perhaps the exchange representative from the University of Hong Kong has already known what kind of topics the host will raise and has made careful preparations;
In this way, once the exchange meeting begins and once the atmosphere of tension is aroused, the student representatives from China Overseas Chinese and Foreign Languages can easily be pressed step by step by the opponent, or even caught off guard.
It's like a debate. The other party knows the specific topic to be debated, but you only know the most general category. This is really too passive.
With the media present, this incident also seemed to have ulterior motives.
If COSCO makes a fool of itself on the spot, and media reporters film and record the entire process, then once the video is reported, COO will immediately appear vulnerable in front of the Faculty of Arts, HKU. This will have a huge impact on the school's image. .
If we lose face as soon as we take the first step of communication, COLI's image outside the mainland will also be greatly damaged in the future.
The Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong will undoubtedly have more dignity. Look, the best language universities and the best English majors in the mainland are vulnerable to us students of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong.
In this way, you are putting others down and raising yourself up.
You must not underestimate the desire and pursuit of fame and victory in colleges and universities. Even among top universities, there are often quarrels over fame and victory.
If you don’t believe it, take a look at the two top universities in Yanjing’s Haidian District, one is Yanjing University and the other is Tsinghua University. The two schools are at odds with each other all day long, and even the students often taunt each other.
Students at Harvard and Yale, two top colleges in the United States, also dislike each other all day long.
Students at Harvard are the busiest. Not only do they have to compete with Yale, but they also take time to confront their neighbor MIT. It can be said that they are fighting on two fronts without showing any weakness.
Hu Bingwen hurriedly pulled Xu Yiyang aside, told Xu Yiyang his analysis and concerns, and told him: "When we take the stage later, we will all rely on you! If they fall into a passive situation, you must go all out, Use your personal speaking skills, eloquence and strength to take up this important role!"
Xu Yiyang asked him: "Who will come on stage with me?"
Hu Bingwen said: "Xu Yanan and Zhang Yibo."
Xu Yanan is the student council president, and Zhang Yibo seems to be another senior brother.
Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "Are they all seniors?"
"Yes!" Hu Bingwen said: "Those who are not senior students may not be able to outperform their opponents. The three of them who are senior students are all seniors!"
After saying that, Hu Bingwen added: "This senior is different from us. These four seniors have been taught bilingual teaching since elementary school. They are taught in English only at university. They have studied English for four more years. They have certain strengths in all aspects." You are better than the seniors here, so the only key to victory lies with you."
