Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 418: Father of rogue software

Lu Zhishan took a fancy to a building with an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters. The building had four floors in total, which looked like a white rectangular eraser from a distance.

"Henry, what do you think of this place?" Lu Zhishan pointed to the building and asked Henry.

"Not bad!" Henry stared at the building and slowly said, "This building is not only large in area, but also well located and has a lot of people. There are many colleges and universities in the vicinity, such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, which have great potential for development!"

Lu Zhishan nodded, "Go, let's ask the developer for the price."

There are huge banners on the building with addresses and phone numbers, so it is not difficult to find. Ten minutes later, Henry and Lu Zhishan came to the sales office. After walking in, Lu Zhishan went straight to the point and said that he wanted to buy a house. When the sales lady on the opposite side heard that Lu Zhishan was about to buy the entire building, she couldn't help being shocked.

"Sir, are you kidding me?" the sales lady asked suspiciously.

Lu Zhishan's clothes are very simple, no different from ordinary people. As for Henry next to him, he is also casually dressed in gray casual clothes. Therefore, it is impossible to tell that Lu Zhishan and Henry are rich only from the clothes they wear. Moreover, it is still 1998, and there are very few rich people and even fewer billionaires. People who open their mouths to buy the entire building are almost rare.

Lu Zhishan said directly: "Call your manager, I really want to buy the whole building!"

The sales lady hesitated for a while, and then said: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

"Hmm..." Lu Zhishan nodded in response.

The sales lady turned around and walked towards the corridor on the right... A few minutes later, the sales lady walked over with a middle-aged man in a suit. When the middle-aged man saw Lu Zhishan, his expression was startled, and then he smiled, "Oh, it turns out that it is Mr. Lu Zhishan here! Welcome!"

Obviously, the manager knows Lu Zhishan. Lu Zhishan runs a supermarket and is worth tens of billions. Although he is very low-key and rarely appears in front of the media, it is not surprising that some people know him. The developer manager walked up to Lu Zhishan and Henry, bowed his waist and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Tang Cai, the manager here."

"Oh, hello, Manager Tang." Lu Zhishan said, "I want to come to this sales lady to tell you about buying the whole building!"

"Yes," Tang Cai nodded, then shook his head again, "However, it is a bit unfortunate. Not long ago, Wal-Mart had already indicated that it would buy this building."

Henry pouted, didn't he just want to sell at a higher price? Could it be that if you bid a little bit higher here, you will sell it to Wal-Mart?

"What does it have to do!" Henry said at this time, "Since they have not bought this building, we have the right to bid. Or, you don't intend to sell it to us? Wal-Mart is a large international company, so you Can't see Mingyue Supermarket?"

"This gentleman is serious, what are the words..." Manager Tang said quickly, "Ming Yue supermarket is not inferior to Wal-Mart supermarket in China!"

Lu Zhishan opened the mouth and said: "If this is the case, then you can give a price. If the price is right, I will buy it."

"Mr. Lu, or else, let's go to my office to sit down and talk slowly. The price, we may not make a good deal for a while, what do you think?" Manager Tang said Lu Zhishan.

"Alright." Lu Zhishan nodded.

Manager Tang walked in front, while instructing the sales lady, "Han Qian, pour two cups of coffee for these two distinguished guests!"

"Okay, manager!"

After sitting down in Manager Tang’s office, Manager Tang said with a smile, “Wal-Mart wants to buy this building. The price I gave them is 47.5 million yuan. If you want to buy it, it seems that everyone is Chinese. I'll be the master, it's cheaper, and sell you 45 million!"

When Lu Zhishan heard the price, he couldn't help but shook his head. Henry was surprised that the house price was too cheap. The building of this size and the excellent location could definitely sell for a sky-high price in the future. In China's real estate, especially in metropolises like Beijing, housing prices have skyrocketed and every inch of land is worth more than 45 million yuan for tens of thousands of square meters.

"Manager Tang, it's expensive!" Lu Zhishan said lightly, "You are the lion's big mouth. Just such a building costs 45 million yuan? I think even if you sell 40 million yuan, Wal-Mart will definitely not buy it. ! In this way, will 35 million be sold?"

"Mr. Lu, this building will definitely appreciate in value in the future. 35 million is indeed too little!"

"Although this building occupies a large area, there are only four floors in total, and there is no interior decoration. The price of 35 million is a lot! Manager Tang, I have so many supermarkets across the country and I have a lot of experience in buying a house. .So, on this, you can't blind me!" Lu Zhishan smiled.

"Of course! Who are you always, how dare we fool you? However, you have to make our company some money! A price of 40 million!"

Lu Zhishan shook his head again. Just about to speak, Henry winked at him and said first, "Uncle Lu, this price is fine!"

Lu Zhishan was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking, which was regarded as acquiescing to Henry's behavior.

Henry turned his head and said to the developer manager at this time: "Manager Tang, 40 million is 40 million. However, we must sign a contract immediately!"

"This..." Manager Tang thought about it before saying, "Of course there is no problem!"

"Mr. Lu, what this gentleman meant..." Manager Tang looked at Lu Zhishan.

"His words are what I meant!" Lu Zhishan said.

"Well, I will draft the contract now!"

...

Both parties hired a lawyer, and an hour later, Lu Zhishan and the developer completed the contract.

After leaving the sales office, Lu Zhishan said puzzledly: "Henry, in fact, we can lower the price just now. Why did you agree to 40 million?"

"Uncle Lu, Wal-Mart also took a fancy to this building, but it changed later. Although the price we bought was a bit more expensive, we were relieved. First, Mingyue Supermarket occupies a good position, which can form a containment for Wal-Mart; second, come here. Real estate prices will skyrocket, even beyond your imagination, spending several million yuan more is nothing."

Lu Zhishan nodded, Henry, as the world's richest man, naturally had no eyes to say. Otherwise, how could he become the richest man in the world?

On this street, there are not only real estate companies, high-tech companies, but also financial companies, such as banks, securities, venture capital, and so on. Not long after Henry and Lu Zhishan walked out of the sales office, they saw a man walking out of a venture capital firm in front with a briefcase in frustration, and almost hit Lu Zhishan as if he had lost his soul.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention just now, I almost ran into you..."

"It's okay~lightnovelpub.net~ young man!"

When Lu Zhishan had a conversation with the man, Henry looked surprised. Isn't the person in front of him the father of rogue software and the CEO of 360 company Zhou Hongyi? He claims to be the most talented programmer in the Founder System Integration Company, and he is also a recognized thorn in the Founder Group! After leaving the Founder Group, Zhou Hongyi decided to start his own business with a bunch of younger brothers.

Henry calculated the time, Zhou Hongyi should have created his first company at this point in time-3721 Company. What does this company do? Mainly to provide online real-name Chinese Internet services. For example, Coca-Cola, if you want to enter the Coca-Cola website, you need to enter the website domain name in the address bar of your browser. As everyone knows, the domain name is a long list of English, not only difficult to remember, but also easy to type typos.

The role of 3721 is here. For example, if Coca-Cola has registered a 3721 network real name, you can directly search for "Coca-Cola" in Chinese in the address bar of the browser, and then go directly to the Coca-Cola official website. The 3721 company is actually a Chinese search company.

In the previous life, the real-name service of the website brought by the 3721 "Chinese keyword search" technology covered more than 90% of Chinese Internet users at that time, with more than 80 million daily usage, and more than 600,000 corporate customers, occupying China's paying With a 40% market share in the search market, it is an absolute leader. In 2001, 3721 Company took the lead in announcing profitability among Chinese Internet companies. In front of it, Baidu is not enough to look at it. Back then, if Zhou Hongyi seriously developed the 3721 company, he did not sell it to Yahoo. Then it is very likely that Baidu will be out of play... Zhou Hongyi's regretful intestines are all green, and the sale of 3721 has become a grief that will never be erased in his heart!
