The Isearch brand has become famous all over the world and adheres to the principle of "do not be evil". Therefore, it is difficult for Henry to let Isearch help the Chinese government control public opinion.

But Henry couldn't let go of the meat of the Chinese market, so he thought about it, but if it didn't work, he would secretly control other search companies.

Right now 3721 is an opportunity. The Chinese Internet market is disorderly and chaotic. With Zhou Hongyi in 3721, it is certain to be a rogue. Therefore, 3721 will definitely stand out!

"The scale is not too big, but I think you are a start-up company, it's okay..." Henry asked Zhou Hongyi at this time, "Has 3721 Company received investment from other venture capital institutions before?"

Zhou Hongyi shook his head, "No!"

"Well, how much are you going to raise?" Henry asked.

"1,000,000!"

Zhou Hongyi looked at Henry with hopeful eyes, Henry smiled and nodded, "One million dollars is okay, but how many shares are you going to take out?"

Zhou Hongyi had clearly thought about it, and directly replied: "20%..."

"Mr. Zhou, I can invest 2.5 million US dollars in 3721 company, but I want 40% of the shares! If there is a financing plan later, I will lead the investment and invite multiple companies to participate!" Henry asked with a smile, "Zhou Hongyi What do you think, sir?"

Zhou Hongyi frowned. The other party's shares were too high. 40% of the shares could almost be controlled by 3721 companies. This requirement really embarrassed him. Zhou Hongyi has a battle between heaven and man in his mind. On the one hand, he can get this investment and 3721 will be able to make great strides. On the other hand, he will risk losing the company. Examples of founders being kicked away by investors abound...

The coffee shop here is also very high-end, with a young beauty playing a melodious violin next to it. Henry picked up the coffee cup and drank it without rush. Lu Zhishan glanced at him, and the two smiled tacitly.

After a minute or two, Zhou Hongyi raised his head and looked at Henry, "Mr. William, please let me think about it for a few days?" He pleaded.

Henry considered it for a moment and nodded, "Then I will give you three days. In three days, I will leave China!"

"Thank you Mr. William!" Zhou Hongyi said with joy.

At this time, Henry tore off a piece of note paper from the table, and then wrote down a mobile phone number, "If you think about it, call me." Then Henry handed the note paper to Zhou Hongyi. Zhou Hongyi carefully put the note paper into his jacket pocket, and then said goodbye to Henry and Lu Zhishan.

Looking at Zhou Hongyi’s departure, Lu Zhishan said to Henry: "It can be seen that he has a strong desire to control 3721. It is not easy for you to get 40% of the shares. However, you don’t already have Isearch. , Why invest in such a small company?"

"Any company changes from small to big. 3721 company may pose a threat to Isearch, so the best way is to invest in it to completely kill the possible threat!" Henry laughed, "2.5 million US dollars is not enough at all. For Internet companies, 3721 will definitely have the second and third rounds of financing! At that time, I will organize several companies to work together to obtain the absolute controlling rights of the entire 3721 company. Finally, even if 3721 develops, it It's also making money for me!"

Lu Zhishan nodded, "It makes sense. However, within three days, he should seek help from other venture capital firms!"

"It's okay! Before accepting other venture capital, he will definitely talk to me again, the big deal is to invest more in him." Henry smiled confidently, "3721 company, I will take it!"

Lu Zhishan suddenly thought of something and wanted to say to Henry: "Oh, yes, I heard that Beijing Zhongguancun will host the'China Internet Summit' tonight. Most Internet companies in China will send people to participate. I think you should I’ll be very interested...As for the specific address, I’ll find out if I ask someone for it."

"China Internet Summit?" Henry murmured, thinking that this is indeed a good opportunity to get in touch with more Chinese Internet companies. The Chinese government can block foreign websites, but domestic websites will not be blocked too. Henry grinned and secretly bought all promising Internet companies in China, isn't it the same!

The major shareholders of the BAT Big Three are all foreign companies, so Henry has every opportunity to secretly complete absolute holding! The founder of a Chinese Internet company can be reduced to a puppet, and will be ousted if he doesn't obey.

...

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Beijing Jade Palace Hotel, a newly built 5-star hotel, is located at No. 76 Zhichun Road, Haidian District, Beijing. With its luxurious interior decoration, luxurious environment, complete facilities, warm service and advantageous geographical location, the hotel has become the preferred business hotel for IT professionals in the Zhongguancun area. Therefore, the China Internet Summit is also held here.

This time, Henry only brought his bodyguards to participate. The invitation letter was obtained by Lu Zhishan to help Henry.

At the moment, the hotel is crowded with people.

Some leaders in Zhongguancun had already spoken on stage, and they were talking a lot, all praising the development of China's Internet, and Henry was almost sleepy.

After the leaders finished speaking, they invited some representative company CEOs to speak on stage.

Ding Lei, the founder of NetEase, was the first to come on stage.

NetEase was established early, and was established in 1997, headquartered in Guangzhou. NetEase is the third Chinese portal after the global online and ICQ portals, with a market share of 15%. Now, because of the Henry Butterfly Effect, the Internet bubble has advanced. Unfortunately, NetEase was founded just when the Internet bubble burst. Therefore, the development of NetEase is very difficult, and few people are willing to invest.

The 3721 created by Zhou Hongyi was also severely affected under this general environment. Otherwise, Zhou Hongyi would not break his leg and walk out of the venture capital company in a desperate manner. In my previous life, as long as I had a good project, and then I found a venture capital institution, it was basically easy to get the first fund.

Right now, venture capital institutions are very cautious and will never invest easily in Internet companies.

Henry took a glass of wine on the table and watched the others while having a drink.

There are a lot of familiar faces, and to Henry's surprise, Zhou Hongyi is also there. At the same time, Henry also saw Baidu founder Robin Li!

Baidu is famous and one of the three giants of BAT. In previous lives, people often compared Google with Baidu~lightnovelpub.net~Many years ago, the two companies established search companies almost in time, and both became industry giants. However, the development of a company desperately selling fake medicines and a company desperately climbing high technology...

Robin Li said that Google is a dream company, while Baidu is a pragmatic company!

So, what kind of company is the pragmatic company in Li Yanhong's eyes? It's actually very simple, it's a profitable company!

Making money is pragmatic!

In order to be able to make money, Baidu can do nothing.

Henry originally thought that Robin Li was still in the United States. In his impression, Baidu was founded in 1999.

Li Yanhong invented hyperlink analysis in 1996, which evaluates the quality of linked websites by analyzing the number of linked websites. This ensures that the more popular content is ranked higher when users search. And this is one of Baidu's core technologies in the future.

Isearch uses Google's technology PageRank (page rank). PageRank determines the rank of a page through the vast number of hyperlinks on the Internet. The higher the rank, the higher the rank of the website.

Either hyperlink analysis or PageRank is an algorithm for page ranking.

Robin Li was so talented that he was later invited to work for Infoseek, a well-known search engine company in Silicon Valley.

But he is a man of ambition and strong desire for control, and he returns to China for inspection every year. Once he feels that China's environment is mature, he will immediately return to his country to start a business. Today, the development of China's Internet is faster than in previous lives. Perhaps, he felt that the time was right and he returned to China to start a business early.

Henry drank the wine, put down the wine glass, looked at Li Yanhong, and walked towards him...
