Chapter 442 Reasons for dinner (seeking monthly ticket)

   Hearing Xia Jingxing's purpose, Qi Xiangdong had such an expression on his face.

   Zhou Hongyi did not interrupt, thinking quietly on the side.

  Qi Xiangdong is currently in charge of Qihoo. He has only invested a little money. At present, his main energy is engaged in angel investment. In addition, he has also served as an investment partner of IDG.

  For Qihoo, Zhou Hongyi is currently not particularly optimistic.

  Because Baidu and Yahoo China are already very powerful, Google will soon come in. This track is too crowded.

  The company let Qi Xiangdong toss first, and if the business improves later, it will not be too late for him to join full-time.

  Now he hears that Xia Jingxing wants to invest in Qihoo, and he is still quite happy.

  He knows how strong Xia Jingxing’s financial resources are. Qihoo’s ability to attract this kind of golden doll investment is definitely good news.

  It's just that he is more shrewd, no matter how happy he is in his heart, he can't show it on his face, otherwise it is not conducive to the next negotiation.

  Qi Xiangdong and Zhou Hongyi have similar ideas, knowing that Xia Jingxing is rich and happy in his heart, but he does not show it on his face.

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Xia Jingxing asked, "How about? Envision Capital invested in Qihoo. You take the money to speed up product development.

  If it drags on, Google has also come in. The competition is bigger and harder. "

  Qi Xiangdong said with a smile: "Just like Mr. Xia you said, Qihoo is aiming at blank areas, community search. Google cannot enter, and it has nothing to do with us.

  At present, Qihoo has developed its products, and will be launched next month, BBS search engine.

  The representative of the search engines in the WEB1.0 era are Baidu and Google. Although they are doing well and large, real estate search, shopping search, and travel search are like grass that burns endlessly.

  As for community search, it has always been a blank area to be developed. "

  Xia Jingxing knows that the other party is a little bit "waiting for the price", which is normal. The catching trade is not a good trade.

   So Xia Jingxing also kept silent about investment, and began to accompany the other party to circle around.

   "We know that when a company's growth starts to slow down, they will focus on new fat."

  Xia Jingxing spread his hands, “If the giants didn’t build their own moat before they entered the subdivision, it might be said that the construction was not stable enough, and it would be broken in one shot.”

  Qi Xiangdong smiled, "In fact, Qihoo's development has not been slow. All the staff are from Yahoo China, and they are very proficient in search.

  And because it is an old team, it is ready to use without training.

  So in terms of efficiency, we are still very efficient, and we will never give any competitors a chance. "

   Zhou Hongyi interrupted, “In terms of capital, I have a small amount of money left after selling 3721, so I can support Qihoo at any time.

  In addition, I am still at IDG, and they have been following the development of Qihoo. "

  The two sang and played together, one said the team was awesome, and the other said it was not bad. Isn't this just for yourself?

  Xia Jingxing knows very well that this kind of industry veteran is not easy to deal with.

  Especially Zhou Hongyi who has two bad money, it is even more impossible to use money to stun each other like grassroots entrepreneurs.

  Of course, the money here means that it is within a reasonable range. Xia Jingxing believes that if it costs 100 million U.S. dollars, the two estimate that they will sign a contract without saying a word.

   But this way, in terms of the rate of return, it is very disadvantageous.

  It is also easy to send a signal to the outside world. People who are stupid and money come more quickly, of course, can attract more projects, but the entrepreneurs estimate that all of them have learned a lot, and they all speak loudly.

   can leave the outside world and entrepreneurs with an impression of “brilliance”, which is mainly reflected in the speed of making money, the amount of investment, etc., but it must not be labeled as “stupid”.

  Xia Jingxing accompanied him on the circle for more than an hour, the food was cold, and no substantial progress was made yet.

  This made him a little bit anxious, because if he drags it on, after Qihoo launches anti-virus software and security guards, it will not be the current valuation.

  Qihoo started to do community search, and wanted to survive in the cracks of search. Security guards, browsers, and the whole family bucket of rogue software were all launched later.

  The current Qihoo is nothing remarkable, but a company with a not very bright future, with a certain degree of speculation and experimentation.

  Even so, Zhou Hongyi and Qi Xiangdong are still very dragged, and they are not bad for money, and many capitals like me.

  The acting was a bit too much!

  Xia Jingxing hinted that she should not be impatient, adjusted her mentality and tone, and said: "A company that has not officially launched its products on the market, the pre-investment valuation of 5 million US dollars is not low."

   Zhou Hongyi smiled lightly, "Mr. Xia, it's not that I am boasting, I am not only at this price."

  Xia Jingxing choked: "Aren't you working as a partner at IDG?"

   "That, hey!"

   Zhou Hongyi waved his hand, "You are in this business, and you should know how much moisture there is.

  Like a franchisee, you can leave as you want, stay as you want, and it’s not mandatory.

  As long as I want to leave, I can join Qihoo next month. "

  Speaking of this, Zhou Hongyi laughed "Hey" and said, "I actually just went in to learn how to play the system, so that I can engage in angel investment in the future.

  Otherwise, they won’t even be able to evaluate the project, and they don’t understand the technical terminology. Such angel investors would lose much if they go out! "

   Xia Jingxing sensed that the other party's rogue nature had relapsed, and mourned for IDG for three seconds in his heart. He thought that he had hired a bigwig in the industry, but turned out to be a bastard.

  Not only mixed experience, but also often add chaos.

  At that time, Huang Xin wanted to invest in the school network. He came to Sequoia Capital. Shen Beipeng was not there, so he entrusted Zhou Hongyi to help.

  As a result, Zhou Hongyi said that Huang Xin, these turtles, had their eyes grown into the sky, and they weren't here to attract investment at all, but to give alms.

  So, the project is yellow!

  Later Huang Xin clarified: The first time I saw a venture capitalist, I was too nervous.

  Xia Jingxing thought for a moment, then replied: "Then you can make a price?"

   Zhou Hongyi's eyes lit up, and Qi Xiangdong looked at each other, both of them had smiles on their faces, and they were just waiting for this sentence.

  Qi Xiangdong compared two fingers, "20 million US dollars, pre-investment valuation!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said nothing, really regarded herself as a layman, and dared to offer any price.

  "There is a big gap between our quotations. Let's think about it again!"

  After that, Xia Jingxing made a move to get up, and wanted to leave.

  Anyway, today I also figured out Qihoo's situation clearly, and I had met the two founders, and the most basic goal was achieved.

  He just recalled that Qihoo should be several months away from take-off, and there is a lot of time to grind the price in the middle, so there is no need to rush for a while.

Seeing that Xia Jingxing was about to leave, Qi Xiangdong glanced at Zhou Hongyi.

  The latter shook his head slightly and signaled Qi Xiangdong not to stop.

  Xia Jingxing's move to leave was also very slow, first turned around to tidy up the suit jacket hung on the chair.

  I’ve finished my jacket, but don’t you want to keep me?

Row!

  Xia Jingxing pretended to dig in the pocket of his suit jacket again.

  After a long time, he finally found the business card case, took out two hot stamped business cards, and handed them to the two of them.

   smiled and said, "Two people, this is my business card. I will keep in touch in the future. Thank you for your hospitality today. I have something to do tonight, so let’s go."

   Zhou Hongyi and Qi Xiangdong only then pretended to react and began to stay.

  Especially Zhou Hongyi, humbly said: "Mr. Xia, this is going to go now? Let's have afternoon tea together? Let's press a massage together in the evening."

   "Haha, press!"

  Xia Jingxing waved his hand and left with a smile on his face as the two watched.

  As he walked past the front desk, Xia Jingxing thought for a while and took the initiative to settle the bill.

  He wanted to give them a reason to invite him to dinner next time.
