Ps: It's the code word until the early hours of the morning, if you have a ticket, comfort me!!

"Brother Zhang, if you have something to say, if you get two million funds in advance, how do you plan to use the money, how do you run the company? What business will the company carry out? How will it finally achieve profitability? Have you considered all these questions?"

As soon as the two of them arrived at the hotel room on the third floor, as soon as they sat down, Chen Feng asked questions like a cannonball.

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, these questions, to be honest, he hasn't completely thought about it yet, and what he is most concerned about now is, of course, how to get the money. When he has money, he will calm down and think specifically about the development of the company. Besides, at this time, including abroad, the Internet industry has just emerged, and as for how to develop, there is no fixed model, and everyone has to cross the river by feeling the stones.

Seeing that the other party was young, he suddenly asked such a practical and crucial question, Zhang Chaoyang had to face up to the young man in front of him, and began to believe that he was the author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". After thinking for a while, he replied solemnly: "My first plan is to make firewall software, and I will do some web design for local enterprises, and then I will try to make a website, and then slowly make a profit." ”

Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully: "I think there is still a great future for making a website, do you know Yahoo in the United States?"

In the history of the previous life, Sohu can be said to have completely borrowed Yahoo's business model to achieve success. In order to avoid him from taking a detour, Chen Feng certainly had to remind him.

"Oh, you also know Yahoo.com?" Zhang Chaoyang's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"You don't know, I have more than a dozen newspapers and magazines now, including a financial magazine from Hong Kong, and I certainly know a little bit about foreign financial news. Chen Feng smiled, "When Yahoo went public on Wall Street in March this year, it was cited as a grand event, and it officially traded in April, the initial price of the stock was set at $13, but in the end it closed at $33, and Yahoo's market value reached $850 million, setting a new record for the Nasdaq." Why don't you learn from Yahoo? Its founder is also Chinese. ”

Zhang Chaoyang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can I compare with others? At the beginning of his business, he received $2 million in venture capital, and at the end of last year, he received another $60 million in investment. ”

"Brother Zhang can't compare with him now, but not necessarily in the future. If Brother Zhang wants to be our Chinese Yahoo, I can give you an investment of 5 million in advance, what do you think?"

Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard it, not surprised by the huge amount of five million, but surprised by the courage of the young man in front of him. Does he believe in my ability so much? Zhang Chaoyang was moved in his heart, but at the same time, he was more puzzled.

"Little brother, do you believe in the eldest brother so much? You must know that this five million is not a small amount, if the eldest brother loses it in the future. ”

Chen Feng smiled very confidently: "The reason why I came all the way to find Brother Zhang this time is, of course, because I believe in Brother Zhang's ability, and besides, don't look at me young, but my eyes for people are still very accurate." I believe that Brother Zhang will succeed in the future. ”

"If you really take out five million, can your father agree?" Zhang Chaoyang still didn't believe that Chen Feng could take out five million casually.

"Didn't you see my dad's attitude just now. This time I came to Beijing to find you, it was completely my own will, my father supported it unconditionally, and besides, the five million was not from my father's pocket. If you know Harry Potter, don't you know how popular the book is?"

Zhang Chaoyang was puzzled: "Of course I know that "Harry Potter" is selling very well, but can you make so much money with this book alone?"

It seems that he really knows a lot about "Harry Potter", and his knowledge is limited.

"Brother Zhang, I tell you a secret, but you have to help me keep it and don't leak it. ”

After Zhang Chaoyang nodded hesitantly, Chen Feng whispered: "Brother Zhang, my secret is: I have earned 100 million Hong Kong dollars now with the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". ”

Zhang Chaoyang's eyes widened suddenly, and he stammered a little: "This ...... So profitable?"

"That's how it makes money!" Chen Feng replied categorically, "So, you don't have to worry about funds at all." If you can follow Yahoo's successful model and set up a similar website in our country, I promise that the five million invested in you is just the beginning. ”

Zhang Chaoyang hadn't woken up from Chen Feng's secret of telling him for the time being, and it took a while before he let out a long sigh, and said with envy and admiration on his face: "Now I really believe that you are that FENGCHEN." ”

"Brother Zhang, let's talk about business. What do you think of making a Yahoo-like site as I said?"

Zhang Chaoyang lowered his head and pondered for a while before he said cautiously: "After all, our China is different from the United States, the network foundation is much worse than that of the United States, and the number of people who go online is even worse than others. At this stage, if the company only focuses on a website like Yahoo, I am afraid that it will not be profitable in the next few years. ”

Being a portal is a money-burning business at the beginning, which is also the origin of the Internet bubble in the future, but as long as you survive this hurdle, you can become a king.

"You're right, if we make a website like Yahoo, we also have to be prepared to lose money every year, and in my estimate, if the development is smooth, it will take three or four years to turn a profit. Of course, we can also take over some web page production business in the early stage, engage in a little income generation, and when the website becomes famous in the future, we can also advertise on the website for those companies like Yahoo, collect advertising fees, and also do telephone yellow pages, classified ads, online shopping malls and other paid services. ”

At this time, people's concept of the website is not particularly clear, Zhang Chaoyang has not specifically thought about how to build and develop a website, now listening to Chen Feng's words, suddenly have a sense of openness, if you do this website, it will be very rich in the future.

"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth! Little brother, what you said has to make me admit that you are a young genius. I didn't expect you to have a deeper understanding of the Internet than I do, which really makes me ashamed. Zhang Chaoyang shook his head a little disappointed.

"Brother Zhang, I'm just talking, but when it's my turn to practice, my eyes are black. And big brother, you are a doer, so if I, a theorist, and you, a doer, combine the two swords, we will be invincible. Speaking of this, Chen Feng winked at him, "How about it?" ”

"Okay! I promise you. ”

Zhang Chaoyang cleaned up his mood and stretched out his hand with a solemn face. Chen Feng immediately stretched out his hand. The two shook each other's hands.

"Big brother, I want to be a villain first and then a gentleman, I will invest five million yuan in advance to you, I have also thought of the name of the company, it is called 'Sohu', and I want to account for 51% of the shares, however, I promise not to participate in the specific management of the company, the company is headed by you as the CEO, in addition to arranging a financial and accounting professional to supervise the specific use of the company's funds, to ensure that no one unilaterally increases any personnel into the company, what do you think?"

In fact, in his heart, as long as someone can give him 2 million, he is willing to give up 30% of the company's shares, and Chen Feng is now 51% of 5 million, which is really reasonable for him. What reassured him even more was that the other party promised not to participate in the management of the company, and as for arranging professionals to supervise the use of funds, which is also a common practice in foreign companies, he did not dislike it.

After Zhang Chaoyang pondered for a while, he nodded and said, "I agree with this plan in principle." ”

Chen Feng immediately clapped his hand and said: "Okay, since you agree, we can draw up a contract today and officially sign it." As soon as the search is established, the $5 million will be disbursed immediately. ”

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother, you are really fast-talking, which makes me a little suspicious that you are dreaming." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I'm not joking with you, so let's do it, I know you're short of money now, after going downstairs, I'll ask my father to give you 100,000 yuan as a fund for the establishment of the company. ”

Zhang Chaoyang was really short of money at this time, and at the same time he was a little tempted by the young man's sincerity, and after a little hesitation, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then I will be disrespectful." ”
