Paul Allen left the next day. The reason was that he was not feeling well. After some time, Microsoft will send someone else over. Anyway, Paul Allen will not be coming over again.
There were rumors that Paul Allen ate three servings of food for breakfast in the morning. Many people looked at him and sighed. A super tycoon does not have good table manners when he eats. Hmmm … Maybe the Americans had not seen our steamed rolls and millet porridge before.
Kirilenko and the Fu brothers went to Macau, and Feng Yu went to Beijing. Sun Lijie told Feng Yu that another person the company was looking for had come to look for venture capital. But they had not agreed on the amount and ratio of funds.
If Feng Yu had not spoken to Sun Lijie, he would surely lower the price. But now, Sun Lijie was afraid that if he lowered the price too much, the other party might look for other venture capital investors.
Feng Yu asked Sun Lijie who it was, and when Sun Lijie told him that name, he immediately said that he will speak to that Xiao Ma personally when he reaches Beijing.
He is called Xiao Ma because he is compared to another person with the surname Ma. Actually, this Xiao Ma is older than Feng Yu.
Feng Yu had seen this company's product in an internet café. It was an instant messaging software, and Feng Yu had registered a 6-digit account number.
The reason why it was 6-digit was because they did not expect the number of users of this software to be more than 10 million.
In Beijing, Feng Yu asked Sun Lijie about the other party's request. Speaking of which, this requirement was indeed very harsh. Feng Yu wanted a lot of venture capital funds but not many shares. He even does not want Taihua Consulting to participate in the company's management.
That afternoon, Xiao Ma went to Taihua Consulting again. He heard that the legendary tycoon Feng Yu had arrived and wants to speak to him personally.
When both met, they were impressed by each other's young age. This Xiao Ma was not even 30 years old and was much younger than what Feng Yu saw on the internet in his previous life.
"Manager Ma, I am Feng Yu."
"Hello, General Manager Feng." Although Xiao Ma's tone was very respectful to Feng Yu, his performance was neither servile nor overbearing. Moreover, his entire person revealed a strong sense of confidence, which made Feng Yu admire him very much.
"Boss Ma, I've done some research on your company. It's a paging station, right?"
"Not only that, we also make GSM short messages, IP phones, and instant messaging software," Little Ma added.
"What do you think of the paging business? How many more years do you think it will be popular?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
"General Manager Feng's company has already transitioned from pagers to mobile phones this year. Why are you asking me?"
"Oh? You seem to know my company very well. "
"I don't know much about them, but in this line of work, I have to know more about the leading companies in the industry." Xiao Ma's eyes were filled with pride.
"So you are not looking for venture capital because of the paging business?"
"Of course not. We're more optimistic about instant messaging apps and short messages on mobile phones. We think instant messaging apps have more potential. This is because the development of computers is getting faster, and the popularity of computers is increasing. This year, there is a Legend of Mir game, and more people want or had already bought computers. With the development of computers, the internet is also getting better. I think the internet will become an important part of people's lives in the future. "
Feng Yu raised his brows. Xiao Ma's analysis of the future is very accurate. No wonder his company had developed so well in Feng Yu's previous life. In Feng Yu's previous life, Tencent had been expanding its business and had never reduced its operations.
Of course, the core of Tencent's success is this instant messaging app.
"How are you going to make profits from this product?" Feng Yu asked.
"We are not making profits now, and we are still in the expansion phase to get more users. We need to keep investing to advertise in internet cafes and PC malls. Also, we still need to compete with ICQ and other software. That software is not charging for now. But we will introduce some value-added services, and we will surely earn back our investments. "
Feng Yu knew Xiao Ma and the rest had not thought of how to make money, but they can see the potential of this software. At least they will be able to get more users.
With more loyal users, the profits will not be far off.
"What are the value-added services?" Feng Yu asked.
"For example, advertisements, search engines, etc. These will bring in profits for the company. Most importantly, we will have more users, and this is our value. "
"Have you thought of the company's future development?"
"We will use QQ as the main platform and try all sorts of methods. No matter what, as long as we have enough users, we will surely make money. That's why we need to develop QQ and get more users. "
Feng Yu smiled and said. "I am interested in your company. But it is not enough to advertise in internet cafes and PC malls. I have a good way to increase your user base exponentially, but it will be a little superficial. If your software is not good enough, the users will disappear quickly. "
"What is General Manager Feng's idea?"
"I am still a shareholder of Lenovo Group, and I can install your QQ software on Lenovo PCs. This way, every new user who buys a Lenovo PC will sign up for your software. I dare not guarantee how many users you can retain. "
"Great. This way, our user base will increase rapidly. We have 460,000 users now, and we should have more than 1 million users by the end of this year. "
"Do you know about Legend of Mir?" Feng Yu asked.
"Yes. Many people in my company, including me, are playing this game. I heard this game is also developed by General Manager Feng." Xiao Ma replied.
"Hua Xia has more than 9 million registered users for this game, and the number is still increasing. Do you think it will be effective if I advertise your QQ software on our login page? "
"Thank you so much. Those who play online games are the ones who use the internet a lot, and they are suitable for us."
"We also have shares in Sina, NetEase, Sohu, etc. We can also advertise your product and even set up a download link."
"You see, it will be much easier for me to advertise my product than you, and I have a higher chance of success. I can even let NetEase and other companies develop their own QQ software. With my funds, I can overtake you, even if your product is launched one year earlier than us. "
Xiao Ma's face changed. That's right. If Feng Yu let those three internet giants do the QQ software, he will have an advantage over him.
"But I still intend to invest in your company. But we need to discuss the conditions. I will invest in your company, and I will not be a non-voting investor. But I will not interfere with your company's management, and I can even help your company. No one else can do this. "
Xiao Ma kept quiet. This is the company he set up, and he wants someone else to be the major shareholder?
