v2 Chapter 425: An Neng crushes his eyebrows
Henry's contract with Baidu was completed through an offshore company. He didn't want people to know that Baidu's controlling party was Henry Williams!
Some of Baidu's actions have been criticized, and Henry will definitely make changes after he completes the absolute holding of Baidu. You can make money, but you can't make money without your conscience. False advertisements are actually equivalent to helping the abuser!
After Baidu completed the financing, it caused a shock in Zhongguancun. Although not big, it was a shock to Zhou Hongyi and 3721.
Zhou Hongyi had to make a decision quickly.
Henry gave him a three-day deadline, but as soon as he heard about Baidu's financing, he immediately called Henry and asked him to meet.
So the two met in a cafe in Zhongguancun.
Zhou Hongyi had a look of urgency on her face, and she said: "Mr. William, I have considered your conditions for a long time. Finally, I figured out a way that is good for each other."
"Well, what is the solution?"
"Your condition is to invest 2.5 million U.S. dollars and hold 40% of the shares of 3721. So we backed down. How about you invest 2 million U.S. dollars and hold 35% of the shares? I heard that if you invest in Baidu, you hold the shares 35%. If you hold the same number of shares in the two companies, you can be impartial."
"Hehe, according to what you said, it seems really reasonable. If I hold a lot of shares in the other party, my attitude will be biased towards the other party. Well, Mr. Zhou, you convinced me!" Henry laughed, "That I invested 2 million US dollars in 3721 company."
"Thank you, Mr. William!" Zhou Hongyi quickly stood up and stretched out both hands to hold Henry's right hand.
Henry smiled slightly, and took his hand out of his without composure. I don't want to do anything~ Ji, it's been a long time to make people misunderstand...
"Mr. Zhou, although I also invest in Baidu, you are not welcome. You can compete as you should, and give full play to all your talents!" Henry stood up and patted Zhou Hongyi on the shoulder, "I compare Look good on you!"
"Okay, that's it, I'll go first, and someone will ask you to sign a contract later."
"Okay, Mr. William, go slowly!"
Henry returned to Prince Gong's Mansion, and Lu Zhishan was discussing with a group of people how to establish the One Fund. The Red Cross Society of China is a public fund organization established by the state. If One Fund engages in public offering activities, it must have legal qualifications. China currently does not allow private public funds to exist. Therefore, everyone suggested to register for One Foundation in the United States.
Henry also agreed with this, so he ordered someone to help Lu Zhishan register for One Foundation in the United States.
The Red Cross has already become infamous. Since the video was exposed, very few people have donated money to the Red Cross. On the contrary, in just one day on the Internet, one hundred thousand "roll" characters were received under the comments on the Red Cross official website.
An employee of the Red Cross, who asked not to be named, revealed that during the flood, the amount of embezzlement by the Red Cross amounted to 250 million yuan.
Most of the donations at home and abroad are handed over to the Red Cross. They sell the materials at a low price and donate corruption. The total amount is more than 250 million? Lie to the ghost! ! !
Netizens have complained that the person who disclosed the news must be the navy, who excused the Red Cross and mitigated the crime!
Everyone called on One Foundation to come out as soon as possible. They need a transparent and open foundation!
However, the establishment of the One Foundation is not so easy to perfect. In addition, there is one thing that makes people feel helpless. After investigation, it is found that there are few non-governmental organizations in China. The funds raised by One Foundation can only be handed over to the local government for disaster relief. With so many disaster-stricken areas across the country, One Foundation is completely under-staffed. One Foundation is a public fund. If there are too many employees, the operating costs will be too high, which is inconsistent with the original intention of establishing the foundation. In foreign countries, there are many non-governmental organizations with relatively high credibility and easier supervision. Domestically, it is a bit more difficult to supervise the local government...
However, this is better than before. If the Red Cross does not take advantage of it, there will be a lot more materials distributed to the disaster area!
...
The next day, 3721 held a press conference to announce that it had completed the A round of financing and received US$2 million in development funds. It is shocking that two search companies in Zhongguancun have received investment in a row. Is the search industry more popular with venture capitalists?
Some people have a flash of inspiration, and they also want to establish a search company, then take venture capital, and then go public to collect money.
It is a pity that Henry, the big local tycoon, is about to leave China.
Lu Zhishan said: "You just invested in 3721 and Baidu, and you are leaving now? I wonder if you don't already have Isearch. Why do you want to invest in these two companies against Isearch?!"
Henry shrugged, stretched out his right finger and pointed to it, and said: "Some people don't want Isearch to stay in China, and I can't help it~lightnovelpub.net~ Oh, yes, there is a saying, "An Being able to smash my eyebrows and bend my waist to the dignitaries makes me unhappy!" Henry laughed, "I don't want the Isearch company I created by myself to succumb to the dignitaries, otherwise, the nature of Isearch will change and it will slowly decay! "
Lu Zhishan understood what Henry meant, and couldn't help shook his head, and sighed slightly, "Well, this is fine...but," he asked, "Are you sure that Baidu and 3721 can develop?"
"Of course I am sure," Henry said with a smile on his face, and said meaningfully, "Zhou Hongyi and Robin Li are not fuel-efficient lamps. You will know soon, especially Zhou Hongyi. I am afraid that by then, the Chinese Internet will be a **** storm. Complaints!"
The reign of blood is easy to understand, the competition is fierce; but what does it mean to complain? A trace of doubt appeared on Lu Zhishan's face, but he didn't know much about the Internet, so he didn't ask much. And Henry just smiled without explanation.
...
Subsequently, Henry asked to book a ticket, but unexpectedly, the first class cabin was actually booked by the Chinese government.
"Boss, on August 5, Soros will attack Hong Kong. The Chinese government has sent experts and professors of economics and bank representatives to go to Hong Kong to boost morale on the one hand, and discuss how to help Hong Kong resist Soros on the other hand! Boss! , Do you want us to show your identity, they will definitely be willing to give you a first-class ticket!"
"No need," Henry shook his head. "A business class booking is okay! Oh, yes, is my private jet still in the UK? Ask the pilot to drive the plane to Hong Kong. I will stay in Hong Kong for a few days. Return to the United States!"
"Yes!"
At 8:30 in the morning on August 4th, Henry took the flight to Hong Kong after saying goodbye to Lu Zhishan and his wife.
