Chapter 1435 Red Cannons as Pioneers

   "Jing Xing, hurry up, come with me, everyone is waiting for you to tell everyone a few words."

  Because it was already winter, Zhou Hongyi didn't wear his red shirt anymore, but changed into a rare black down jacket.

  Old Zhou, who was not tall, wore a long down jacket and ran like a penguin, with a naive look.

   He trotted all the way to Xia Jingxing, then grabbed the latter's arm and hurriedly pulled out.

Xia Jingxing didn't have time to worry about Zhou Hongyi's title for his master, because he was dragged by the other party and walked several steps in a row, and said with a bit of laughter: "Old Zhou, you are such a big entrepreneur, pull What a formality to pull and pull, so many people are watching."

   Zhou Hongyi looked around, and sure enough, many people were watching, and some reporters even pointed their cameras at the two of them. It is estimated that the scene where he just dragged Xia Jingxing running all the way was captured by reporters.

   He turned his head and smiled at Xia Jingxing, "It's alright, let them take care of it, it just so happened that I followed your last front page headline."

   "Then let go of your hand first."

   "No, what if you run away? Those brothers gave me death orders, and they must take you there today.

   There have been several events in the past. You invited everyone to the venue, but after you finished speaking, you turned around and left. "

   Having said that, Zhou Hongyi continued to drag Xia Jingxing's arm forward, and did not let go until he brought him to his destination.

  Xia Jingxing took a closer look, the good guy, the first phase of Huangpu... No, it should be all the graduates of the first phase of the Vision Academy standing there neatly.

   In addition to Zhou Hongyi, Yang Haoyong, Li Xiang, Zhang Tao, Dai Zhikang, Chen Congwu, Zhou Zhaolong and other first batch of entrepreneurs who received investment from Envision Capital VC Fund were also present.

  He Xiaopeng, Zhuang Chenchao, Wang Jingbo and other graduates of the second and third phases of Vision College also came to watch the ceremony.

   Although today is the settlement ceremony of Fuxing Industrial Park, it has little to do with Envision Capital and the start-up companies invested by Envision Capital, but everyone knows whose business Fuxing Industry is, so they naturally want to come over to join in, and by the way, get in touch with Xia Jingxing.

   No, as soon as Xia Jingxing was pulled over by Zhou Hongyi, he was immediately surrounded by this group of people.

   For these “half apprentices, half friends” entrepreneurs, Xia Jingxing had more contacts in the early years.

   In the past two years, Xia Jingxing's career has been getting bigger and bigger. He is too busy, and a lot of business has been assigned to his subordinates, resulting in less contact with these fanatical believers.

   However, everyone now sees Xia Jingxing who hasn't seen him for a long time, but they don't feel that they are born at all, and all kinds of praise and flattery are thrown at Xia Jingxing as if they don't want money.

   "Mr. Xia, when will Fuxing Auto release its first model? I can't wait to get it!"

  Li Xiang said with a smile on his face: "The users of Autohome have been discussing all day whether the Fuxing car will be more amazing than the Roadster and ModelS.

  Some people say that if Fuxing mobile phones can defeat Wisdom Fruit head-on, then Fuxing Automobile will not disappoint everyone. The first domestic car to go overseas is Fuxing Automobile! "

  The people around were laughing and booing, as if Fuxing Automobile had entered the world stage.

  Xia Jingxing laughed and scolded: "Don't talk about these things. My Bugatti Veyron seems to have been borrowed by you for four or five years. When will you return it to me?"

  Li Xiang scratched his head, "Don't you only drive Wuling now? People all over the country know it.

   Give the car back to you, and you won't drive it, so let's keep it for a few more years of advertising. "

   "Damn, are you trying to prostitute for nothing?"

  Li Xiang pretended to be cheap and flattered: "I owe it first, and when Fuxing Auto is on the market, Autohome will advertise for you for half a year for free."

   "This is what you said, so many people have listened to it, don't go back on it."

   "No, no, now we are waiting for your car to go on the market, and then we will definitely be able to get another wave of traffic - Asia's richest man successfully built a car, and his car was upgraded from Wuling to Fuxing Automobile.

   How about this title? Mr. Xia, please comment. "

   "You're a shrewd boy, you figured me out clearly."

  Xia Jingxing patted Li Xiang on the shoulder, admiring the shamelessness of this guy.

   With the help of Vision Capital, the development of Li Xiang and Autohome is much better than in his previous life.

  Because there is no pain of lack of development funds, Li Xiang did not introduce investment from Telstra as in his previous life, nor did he hand over the controlling stake of Autohome, and naturally he was not suppressed or even expelled by capital.

  Although Vision Capital's shareholding ratio in Autohome is not low, it has not been involved in the management of the company too much, and has always adhered to the principles of financial investors.

  Envision Capital’s shareholding ratio in Autohome has reached a maximum of 51%. In the following years, Autohome has experienced several rounds of financing, and the shareholding ratio of Vision Capital has declined, but it still remains above 40%.

  In the past, the venture capital industry had misunderstood Envision Capital and felt that it was too ugly and the proportion of shares was too high.

   But over the past few years, the industry reputation of Envision Capital has been greatly improved, especially in the minds of entrepreneurs, the image has suddenly become much taller.

  Although the proportion of Envision Capital is not low, as an institutional investor who does not intervene in the management of the invested company, it is definitely hard to find with a lantern.

   Moreover, Vision Capital often invests in a project for several rounds in a row, saving countless startup companies from distress. For example, after the financial crisis broke out the year before, many companies were unable to raise funds. In the end, Vision Capital generously donated their money to help them one by one.

   Having invested so much money and having a higher share of the stock, it is naturally justified.

   A group of VC peers are completely envious, jealous and hateful towards Envision Capital. Although they say that Envision Capital has a high proportion of shares and is unfair to entrepreneurs, they are actually envious in their hearts.

   Don't they want to take more shares?

   In fact, I don't dare, I'm afraid of heavy positions, and I'm afraid of rolling over a few rounds in a row.

  Those VC funds with high returns have always had a set of killers, that is, once they find a star project, they will pursue the investment all the way to the end, not to miss every round of financing, and use the rate of return of a super project to support the rate of return of the entire fund.

   To really follow the investment principle of "casting a wide net and catching more fish", even if you invest in a star project, the return rate is very high, but because the proportion of shares is too low, the absolute value of the return will not be too high.

   If the absolute value of the return is put into the entire fund and then combined, the overall return of the fund will be directly lowered.

The    fund evaluates the overall performance. Sometimes the return of a single project is eye-catching, which does not explain much.

   Vision Capital’s investment accuracy is very high, and most of the projects have invested in several rounds in a row, with a high shareholding ratio.

  These performances fall in the eyes of peers, and even calm people will feel unbalanced in their hearts.

   is simply an evildoer and an industry destroyer. One company actually made most of the money in the entire industry.

   Fortunately, there are not many companies invested by Vision Capital at present, and there is no data as a reference, and there are not many people who can see the clues.

  Xia Jingxing chatted with the group of entrepreneurs for a while, reminiscing about the old days, and was about to leave.

   Zhou Hongyi suddenly held down Xia Jingxing's arm and said, "It's rare for everyone to get together, let's have a meal together at noon?"

   Hearing the second senior brother's proposal, the surrounding fellow brothers and sisters expressed their approval.

  Xia Jingxing saw that the kindness was difficult to accept, so he had to agree.

   Zhou Hongyi was very happy, he liked drinking with Xia Jingxing the most, because that was one of the few areas where he could outperform Xia Jingxing.

  Xia Jingxing looked at the red-clothed cannon that was laughing, and took it to heart. It seems that this cannon has not been fired for a long time, and I don't know if it will misfire.

  …………

  …………

noon.

   After everyone had a drink, they all left.

   Only Zhou Hongyi was left alone by Xia Jingxing.

   The red-faced Zhou Hongyi who was drinking spit out wine and said to Xia Jingxing who was sitting beside him, "What's the matter? It's so mysterious, everyone thought you were going to open a small stove for me."

   "It's nothing, I just want to talk to you about the current situation of 360."

  Xia Jingxing took a sip of tea and suppressed the discomfort in his stomach.

   Cannon in red is so good at persuading him to drink, that he drank a lot at noon.

   Fortunately, Li Xiang, Zhang Tao and the others came to **** them, so they were not pushed down by Zhou Hongyi.

   "What's going on?"

   Zhou Hongyi lay back, leaned back on the chair, and glanced at Xia Jingxing from the corner of his eye, his mind started to work quickly.

  Xia Jingxing smiled lightly: "You should have heard it just now, everyone is preparing for the listing, when is 360 going to be listed?"

After all, Zhou Hongyi is not an ordinary entrepreneur. He is also considered to be a successful entrepreneur once. He has also been the president of Yahoo China. He has a arrogance of his own, and said with a shriveled mouth: "360 is different from them, our track is compared. Big, not in a hurry to go public.”

  Xia Jingxing was waiting for this sentence, he said with a smile: "Although the track is big, there are many opponents!"

   "You mean penguin, right?"

  Xia Jingxing didn't say a word, and let Zhou Hongyi guess and make up his mind.

   "A few days ago, they launched QQ Doctor, saying that it was only used as a small tool to detect and kill number-stealing Trojans.

   But I have a feeling that they may have come from 360. "

   Speaking of this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhou Hongyi's mouth. Ponima's business is really inauthentic. Do you really think they are soft persimmons? That would be bullying the wrong person!

  Xia Jingxing asked: "Why do you see it? Maybe they really just developed a small tool to prevent QQ users from being hacked?"

"Do you believe it?"

   Zhou Hongyi suddenly sat upright, stared blankly at Xia Jingxing, and said, "You don't know the virtues of Penguins, they will copy whatever is popular.

Over the years, they have successively engaged in e-commerce and search, and have also developed a domestic imitation of Friends. After the launch of Weibo, they have also launched Penguin Weibo. your farm, ranch game..."

   Zhou Hongyi said and shook his head, "The world has been suffering from penguins for a long time!"

  Xia Jingxing listened to the music and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

   "As long as the penguins dare to bark at us, of course they will fight back! We beat them to the point of grinning!"

   "Can you fight?"

   Zhou Hongyi's violent temper immediately came up. He felt that Xia Jingxing's words hurt his self-esteem. Is co-authoring 360 so bad in your eyes?

   "How can we fail? We are the leader in the field of Internet security!

   What does a penguin have? Besides plagiarism, what else would they do? "

  Xia Jingxing waved his hands and said, "Don't get excited, I mean you shouldn't underestimate the penguins.

  Hinai Holdings and Penguin are also old rivals, and even we dare not underestimate them. "

   Zhou Hongyi looked at the ceiling and did not answer.

  Xia Jingxing is a little unhappy, I kindly remind you that you are not happy anymore.

   "Okay, I'm not annoying anymore, just prepare yourself."

   Zhou Hongyi glanced at Xia Jingxing, and finally realized that he was a little ignorant.

   "I know what you said, and I'm always on the lookout for penguins to attack.

   As long as they dare to step over the thunder pool, they will definitely break one of their legs. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Okay, let's stop this topic, I won't say more.

   Let me ask you, do 360 still want to continue the search business? "

   Zhou Hongyi's eyes widened, not understanding what Xia Jingxing meant.

   "360's earliest entrepreneurial idea was to be a search engine, but it turned into an antivirus software company by accident.

   But you have not completely quit the search industry. 360 Browser and 360 Safe Navigation have always cooperated well with Google, and the default is Google search engine.

  I heard that Google will withdraw from the Chinese market, what are your plans next? "

  Xia Jingxing stared straight at Zhou Hongyi, and he said it all, and I don't believe that the other party will not be caught this time.

  Penguin and Chihiro are in tune with each other, and they are doing bad things.

   He has been thinking about how to block the two companies in recent days.

   After thinking about it carefully, I found that the red-clothed cannon had to be bombarded.

   Let Zhou Hongyi and 360 be the vanguard officers to attract most of the firepower.

   When the domestic holdings are free, they can slowly clean up Chihiro and Penguin.

   Xia Jingxing's words made Zhou Hongyi feel dry for a while, and her heartbeat quickened a lot.

   He quickly took a sip of the tea on the table and finally felt calmer.

  360 Don't want to be a search engine? Not too!

  In the past, the timing was not right. It was not a good idea to unite a group of small and medium-sized websites and tinker with community search.

   If it wasn't for his immediate transformation when he saw that the situation was not good, 360 would have died long ago, how could he have today's momentum.

  As the developer of 3721, Zhou Hongyi has always been obsessed with search engines.

   Over the years, he has been engaged in anti-virus software, navigation and browsers. One is to let the company survive, and the other is to secretly build his "three-stage rocket".

  360 free antivirus tool is a first-stage rocket;

  360 Security Browser and 360 Security Website Navigation are secondary rockets;

   The third-stage rocket is naturally a 360 search engine.

   Through this layer-by-layer method of drainage, a traffic matrix of three or six zeros is created.

   As long as there is traffic, the search engine launched by 360 in the future will have a basic living soil.

   Xia Jingxing's words scratched Zhou Hongyi's itch. He didn't know if he should tell him his business plan.

   "Don't hide it, I don't know you yet, you never gave up on search engines!"

   Seeing that Xia Jingxing had ruthlessly exposed his own little thought, Zhou Hongyi sneered: "The idea is not yet mature, so I haven't told you."

   "I have a mature idea here, do you want to know?"

   Zhou Hongyi looked at Xia Jingxing who was staring at him with a smile, and smiled, "Then let's communicate?"

   The launch of the Fujian aircraft carrier and the electromagnetic ejection are very exciting. Have you watched the news? I feel that we are one step closer to cleaning up the bay.
