In the blink of an eye, it was the 15th of April.
On this day, Tencent quietly went online on Weibo. Similar to Far away, the other party did not publicize it.
Currently, both WeChat and Weibo had many drawbacks.
If they publicized it and attracted too much attention, it would be embarrassing if the market did not accept it. It would ruin the reputation and credibility of the company.
There would definitely be a trial period in the early stages.
When they saw the results, both parties would publicize it on a large scale.
…
Far away Building.
Zhang Xiaolong explained as he operated his phone, "It's the same as us, using a mobile phone number registration method. It seems like the positioning is the same as ours, targeting mobile internet IM tools. Overall, the difference is not big. But the other party also made some improvements. For example, we use the default state for sending messages. After sending a message, we do not know if the other party will read it. But Weibo is different. After the message is sent, it shows whether the status is read or unread … "
Li Dong said calmly, "It can't be considered an improvement. Nowadays, who doesn't have a friend they don't want to chat with but are too embarrassed to delete?
This kind of status display is not necessarily a good thing.
Also, I tried it out just now. The other party did not add too many functions. Perhaps to them, our WeChat's positioning lies in refinement.
After all, we only have 15 days. It will not be easy to come up with something of our own.
Ignore them. Continue to update the version tomorrow and add the nearby people search function.
On the 25th, update the version again and add the group chat function.
Early next month, directly release the voice version. In addition, add the Million Card plug-in and WeChat Red Envelope. This is good stuff … "
After Li Dong finished speaking, Zhang Xiaolong frowned slightly. "This way, WeChat's memory is a little too big. Do you think we should not release so many functions for now? Let's wait for the manufacturers to adapt to the pace of the 3G era. When the hardware is satisfied, we can slowly release the new version?"
Li Dong shook his head. "It's fine. Even if we add these, it is not too big. There are fewer mobile apps now, and even fewer things to play with. If it is really not enough, can't we just uninstall something like QQ? If we do not release it now and the manufacturers do not pay attention, when can we let our mobile phone Far Away Mall develop? Don't forget, the store takes up a lot more space. "
Li Dong said that the shopping mall took up more memory. It wasn't that the software was too bloated, but as an online shopping platform, one couldn't just look at the text, right?
As long as the software was opened, some product images would inevitably occupy the memory.
This was necessary. It wasn't like WeChat, where it was entirely up to the individual to send pictures.
However, Li Dong was not too anxious in this regard. At present, some mobile phones with large internal memory had already appeared on the market. It was just that the demand was not high, so the manufacturers did not have much motivation to develop these new mobile phones.
As long as there was demand from users, phones with large internal storage would be released one after another.
If it really doesn't work, he can just buy a memory card. Almost all mobile phones nowadays have this function.
It wasn't like in the future, where the storage capacity of the phone was large enough, and users didn't need it. At this time, the storage capacity of the phone wasn't too large, and the demand for memory cards was still very high. Moreover, the price wasn't cheap, unlike in the future, where memory cards were cheap.
In short, in Li Dong's opinion, these hardware problems shouldn't be an obstacle.
The key was whether the market had this demand or not!
If it was a mobile phone with 1GB of memory, it would be completely enough. Users wouldn't have too much desire for it. Then, why develop a mobile phone with 2GB of memory? Did they really think that the cost wouldn't increase?
Before the market had this demand, no one would be stupid enough to find trouble for themselves and increase the cost of the mobile phone.
Once there was demand, the various manufacturers would soon meet your wishes. This was something that Li Dong absolutely believed.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Zhang Xiaolong no longer questioned it. Since Li Dong said that the version would be released in May, then it would be May.
He now regarded himself as a professional technical developer. As for marketing, promotion, and other strategic arrangements, they were currently done by Li Dong himself. Zhang Xiaolong wasn't confident that he was stronger than Li Dong.
Other than his shortcomings in technology, Li Dong was definitely the strongest in other aspects. Far away, people thought so.
…
As soon as Zhang Xiaolong left, Li Dong said to Bai Su, "Ask Old Tan to come up."
Bai Su responded and went out to get him.
A few minutes later, Tan Yong entered the door.
Li Dong gestured for him to sit down and said, "How's Yuhan?"
Tan Yong immediately said, "After you mentioned it last time, I made some arrangements here. I got someone to contact Miss Qin on the 1st. However, Miss Qin thought about it for a few days before officially discussing the financing with our people on the 5th. You said not to be too obvious, so the investor I arranged for proposed to inject five million yuan and take half of the shares … "
At this point, he saw Li Dong looking at him, so Tan Yong said a little embarrassedly, "Of course, Miss Qin and the others didn't agree. After a few days of discussion, I got our people to lower the requirements. We'll invest five million yuan and take 35% of the shares. Miss Qin has also invested about five million yuan in advance. In addition to the manpower and management of the company, it's 65%, which is more suitable for an investment institution. "
"She agreed?"
Li Dong did not know what to say. He had given Qin Yuhan a card, but Qin Yuhan had never used it.
It was only five million yuan. To be honest, it was not worth mentioning to Li Dong.
He did not say how much money Qin Yuhan had on the card, so Qin Yuhan probably would not check it.
However, in reality, that card was an exclusive card made for Li Dong by the Construction Bank.
There was a portion of cash in it. It was not much, about twenty million yuan.
However, when he really needed money, this card could be used as a credit card, and it was the unlimited kind.
Of course, although it was said to be unlimited, there was no such thing.
Under normal circumstances, unlimited was a relative term, but the overdraft limit was usually at least five hundred thousand yuan.
As for a real big shot like Li Dong, his annual turnover in the Construction Bank was even calculated in the hundreds of billions. His unlimited amount was really high to an unimaginable level.
If Li Dong's card was overdrawn by one or two hundred million yuan, the bank would at most call to ask if Li Dong knew about it. They would probably not even investigate it.
Of course, Li Dong did not need to overdraft so much. He had many exclusive cards on hand, and some were even given to him by the bosses of some banks. He rarely used these things. There was no need.
For Far Away, which easily invested billions, this amount of money was really not enough to spend.
Moreover, it was not like he did not need to pay back the credit card. Instead of that, he might as well go to the bank to get a loan.
If Qin Yuhan used it, it would not be difficult to spend tens of millions.
It would not be like now, where he still needed to worry about five million yuan.
Li Dong did not call Qin Yuhan to tell her about this. These days, he had actually called Qin Yuhan, but it was all about other things. Li Dong did not mention these things. Although Qin Yuhan knew that Li Dong should know about it, she did not mention it.
As for whether Qin Yuhan would choose financing or to choose to use Li Dong's card, Li Dong already had an answer in his heart.
As expected, Tan Yong continued, "In the next few days, our people talked to Miss Qin a few more times. Coincidentally, CEO Qin was there too. After all, CEO Qin was a director of Far Away. Using this as a stepping stone, we relaxed the conditions and gave the condition of 25% of the shares. Miss Qin agreed. Oh yes, today is the time to sign the formal agreement. "
Five million yuan for 25% of the shares was actually not much.
After all, their platform and express delivery network had not been completed yet, and they had not been tested by the market.
But Qin Hai was there, and he had some reputation in the business world.
The investors simply said that they were optimistic about Qin Hai, and five million yuan for 25% of the shares of the company that Qin Hai was working for was actually a good deal in the eyes of anyone.
The other party had been someone with an annual salary of ten million yuan. In terms of ability, no matter how bad he was, he had still managed to bring Far Away Logistics.
Far Away Logistics had been developing at a rapid pace in the past few years.
For someone like Qin Hai, even if he joined Ali, his treatment would not be worse than Cheng Ping's. Compared to Cheng Ping, he understood Far Away Qin Hai better. If he was willing to go to Ali, Ma Yun could easily give him an annual salary of ten million yuan.
Tan Yong's people, because of Qin Hai, gave the condition of 25%. It would not make people suspicious and think that he was a fool with too much money.
Li Dong heard this and waved his hand lightly. "Got it. You can leave first."
Tan Yong saw that he did not seem to be in a good mood, so he did not say anything more. He got up and left the office.
After Tan Yong left, Li Dong leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling in a daze.
She would rather give up 25% of the shares than spend her own money. This woman's personality was still as stubborn as ever.
In the past, Qin Yuhan was willing to spend his money because she felt that Li Dong's money was no different from hers.
If Qin Yuhan had money and Li Dong did not, Qin Yuhan would also be willing to give Li Dong her own money to spend.
But now, there was an additional barrier between her and Li Dong.
Qin Yuhan did not say anything. She even joked that she was Li Dong's ex-wife after all. She also had a share of Li Dong's money.
But reality proved that this woman's stubborn personality had never changed.
If Li Dong was still single, if there was no Shen Qian, even if there was a change in her relationship with Li Dong, if Qin Yuhan really needed money, she might use Li Dong's card.
But when there was Shen Qian in the middle, Qin Yuhan was not willing to spend it anymore.
Because to her, this money was not just Li Dong's.
After Shen Qian and Li Dong got married, the money she spent would be related to Shen Qian. And this was also the scene that Qin Yuhan did not want to see the most.
So, even though Qi Fangfang tried to persuade her again and again, Qin Yuhan finally chose financing.
Li Dong understood all of this.
He knew what Qin Yuhan was thinking and how she would choose from the beginning. Otherwise, he would not have arranged for people to invest.
But understanding was one thing. When Qin Yuhan really made such a choice, it still made Li Dong feel a little upset.
…
Shanghai.
When Qin Yuhan signed the agreement and sent the investors away, Qi Fangfang said with a face of regret, "25% of the shares are gone. It's a big loss."
Qin Yuhan heard that and smiled. "It's a profit. We only invested 5 million in total. Now that we've raised 5 million, it's already 10 million. Our share is 75%, that's 7.5 million. It's only been a few days. In a little more than a month, we've earned 2.5 million. If I knew that money was so easy to earn, I would have financed it long ago. "
It was true that they had earned more than 2 million in a little more than a month. It was also a fact.
But Qi Fangfang was still a little unwilling. She whispered, "You're too stupid. Anyway, I just don't feel the thrill of earning money."
Qin Yuhan glanced at her parents not far away. She also lowered her voice and teased, "If you want to feel the thrill, don't look for me. Look for someone else."
"Pfft, female hooligan!"
Qi Fangfang did not blush. She scolded and said, "My 10% is too much. Besides, this financing has to be diluted no matter what.
We're doing business, so don't talk to me about friendship.
Also, this financing is for Uncle's sake. You can keep the shares. Uncle's name is worth a lot of money.
Previously, you said that you were a family, and Uncle was only here to help. Now, we can't just let it go.
Uncle and Auntie have to hold a portion of the shares no matter what. You can decide how much you want. Anyway, just leave 5% for me.
I've earned a lot. I haven't done much work, and I'm already worth 500,000.
In a little more than a month, I've earned 500,000. My annual salary is more than 5 million. It's not any lower than the CEO of a large corporation. "
Qi Fangfang said happily, but Qin Yuhan did not expose her.
It might seem like that, but in fact, for a long time in the future, the platform would not have any income. They would have to continue spending money.
Qi Fangfang's current net worth was 500,000. Perhaps in a year's time, she would still have this net worth.
If things went wrong, she might not even have a single cent left. That was normal.
However, entrepreneurship was like that. Qin Yuhan did not say anything about this.
Qi Fangfang requested to dilute and reduce the shares. Qin Yuhan did not reject her. She nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say. If there's financing next time, there's no need to estimate it roughly. Just calculate it according to the dilution ratio. "
Qin Yuhan and Li Dong had been together for so many years. Although they did not meet often, Li Dong would not hide most things from her.
Qi Fangfang made Qin Yuhan think of the founding father of entrepreneurship, Sun Tao, Far away.
Later on, because Sun Tao had too many shares and Li Dong's financing did not dilute his shares, Sun Tao was trembling with fear. He did not have the mood to show his face later on.
Qin Yuhan was actually familiar with the Sun Tao of the past. In fact, Yang Yun often mentioned him in the past.
That person was also bold. Otherwise, he would not have given up his position in Carrefour and chosen to join Li Dong.
What was Li Dong then?
Sun Tao actually wanted to start his own business. Unfortunately, he did not have the capital to do so. He could only choose Li Dong and even used Li Dong as a springboard.
In the early stages, the expansion of Far Away in Qingyang, the establishment of channels, personnel management … Almost all of this was handled by Sun Tao.
Later on, when Sun Tao entered Pingchuan, Li Dong did not stay in Far Away for long at first. Instead, he stayed in school.
The early stages of development were also handled by Sun Tao, including the proposal for the merger and acquisition of Era. They were all proposed by Sun Tao.
From these aspects, Sun Tao was not weak, and his ability was not bad either.
But after a period of time, when Far Away was expanding explosively, Yuan Chengdao took over and cleaned up some of the founding fathers, Sun Tao completely quietened down.
Because, he was afraid, afraid!
Far Away Li Dong was in charge of the overall situation. The shares were almost decided by Li Dong alone. There was no discussion, no meetings, just a word from him.
If he could give it to you, even if there was an agreement, it would not be a problem if Li Dong wanted to take it back.
Not diluting his shares, not allowing him to reduce his holdings, was actually a kind of torture for Sun Tao.
Until the last time Li Dong formally negotiated with him, diluting the shares according to the ratio in the future, and introducing some external capital. Far Away was no longer the retail business that Li Dong could give as many shares as he wanted.
At this time, Sun Tao was completely relieved.
It was also because of this that he had the fighting spirit.
That was why he went south not long ago. Otherwise, with Sun Tao's thinking, he might not have gone south, and it was more likely that he would have declined.
It was also because she knew this that Qin Yuhan did not say anything when Qi Fangfang mentioned diluting the shares.
Since they wanted to do business, it was good to settle accounts clearly.
Lest they could not even be friends because of money in the future.
When Qi Fangfang heard what Qin Yuhan said, she also smiled and said, "That's much better. This way, it feels more formal. Otherwise, it always feels like a grassroots team."
Qin Yuhan could not help but laugh and said, "It's a grassroots team to begin with. What do you think?"
Qi Fangfang said disapprovingly, "Don't underestimate yourself. Don't forget, you still have many chain stores. There are many stores in Beijing, Shanghai, and these places are all rich people with tens of millions of yuan. Coupled with a platform worth more than ten million yuan now, with a net worth of tens of millions, you can't be considered a grassroots team. "
Qin Yuhan smiled and did not refute. In fact, it was more than that.
She did not tell Qi Fangfang that even though they were renting a house in Shanghai now, she actually had a house in Shanghai.
When Li Dong came to Shanghai, he saw that she was renting a house and bought a villa for her.
Qin Yuhan did not move in, and later, after that incident, she could not be bothered to move in.
Qin Hai and the rest did not know about this villa.
The house in Beijing was under Li Dong's name, but the villa in Shanghai was under Qin Yuhan's name.
Qin Yuhan did not say that she would return it to Li Dong. She did not need to guess to know that the guy would not agree to it. She was also too lazy to continue arguing with him. In the end, who knew how that guy would pretend to be crazy?
This villa was worth more than thirty million when she bought it.
But since the end of 2008, the price of the villa had increased greatly, and the houses that Li Dong had chosen rarely did not increase in price.
Now that the price was set at fifty million, she might be able to sell it.
In addition, in Pingchuan, Qin Yuhan also had a house, and she also had a luxury car. Altogether, she had at least seventy million yuan in assets under her name.
But there was no need to tell Qi Fangfang about this.
If Qi Fangfang really found out, she might urge her to continue to dig out more money from Li Dong to accumulate a hundred million yuan and become a millionaire. Qi Fangfang would definitely do something like this.
She did not want to tell anyone that this villa was bought for her by Li Dong when they were still officially a couple.
As for Shen Qian, who was Shen Qian at that time?
At least, Li Dong did not tell anyone that Shen Qian was his official girlfriend, and the money was also Li Dong's. Even if Qin Yuhan did not live in this house, she would not feel too uncomfortable about it being under her name.
She did not spend Li Dong's money now, just as Li Dong thought, because he was getting married.
The whole world knew that he had a fiancée and a child, so Qin Yuhan did not want to use his card.
She did not hate being involved with Li Dong. She just did not want to have anything to do with Shen Qian.
Moreover, she did not want to continue using this guy's money after he was engaged. If she used it now, Qin Yuhan would feel like she was really a mistress.
Qin Yuhan did not tell anyone about these feelings, including her parents.
She was the platform and the financing. Qin Yuhan knew that Li Dong should be clear about it.
Until now, Qin Yuhan could often see some familiar faces in front of her. Far away, they were the security guards. She knew them all.
But when she talked to Li Dong on the phone, she did not talk about this, and Li Dong did not mention it either.
Qin Yuhan understood that the jerk still understood her.
