My Age of Investment - Chapter 1507 Wang Xiaochuan's obsession

   Chapter 1507 Wang Xiaochuan's obsession

  In a certain box of the Americas Club on the top floor of the China Resources Building in the capital, Xia Jingxing kept clinking glasses with Wang Xiaochuan and had a great conversation.

   Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost done, Xia Jingxing began to get to the point.

   "Brother Wang~"

   Wang Xiaochuan with a baby face waved his hand and interrupted, "Mr. Xia, you can just call me Xiaochuan."

  Xia Jingxing laughed, "Forget it, you are a few years older than me, I'll call you Old Wang."

   Old Wang Ba?

  Wang Xiaochuan has a black line, why is it a little unpleasant?

  Xia Jingxing, as if he didn't realize it, called Wang Xiaochuan one by one.

   "Pharaoh, you have approached Zhang Yong before, and made a request to invest in Sogou by the domestic holding group. Later, Zhang Yong was busy with international business. After going back and forth, this matter was delayed."

  Wang Xiaochuan listened patiently, with a shallow smile on his face, and quickly analyzed Xia Jingxing's purpose for inviting him to dinner.

  Although Xia Jingxing respected him as "Senior Brother", the two of them had no friendship and only met a few times.

  Otherwise, he would not go to Zhang Yong to discuss the matter of investing in shares, but to discuss directly with Xia Jingxing, a truly influential figure.

   The reason why he chose Hai Nei Holdings was actually because of the rising momentum of the other party in recent years, and he hoped to use the power of this new giant to develop Sogou's business.

   But in the end, because Charles and 360 were too tight, he could only choose the Ahri group with a lower priority.

   Today he heard Xia Jingxing's tone, the other party seems to want to restart the investment and shareholding?

   "I'm not going to be sloppy anymore, let's be direct, I want to acquire Sogou, what do you think?"

  Wang Xiaochuan was suddenly shocked, which was very different from what he imagined!

   was about to open his mouth to refuse, but was interrupted by Xia Jingxing: "Don't rush to answer me, just listen to my conditions."

  Wang Xiaochuan opened his mouth and finally swallowed it back.

He is a real smart person, not only has first-class technical level, but also handles interpersonal relationships very well. Otherwise, he would not be able to maintain his independence under the coercion and inducement of many giants, and the company itself has also achieved good development. In this regard, star entrepreneurs such as Dai Wei and Huang Xin need to learn from this old senior.

   "After Sogou was acquired, I plan to build a mobile Internet business group alongside social networking, pan-entertainment and other business groups based on it.

  This business group includes not only search engine business, but also many businesses such as maps, browsers, application stores and other C-side software.

   In other words, this will be a very large business group, enough for you to display your personal talents.

  I know that you are underappreciated and you have always wanted to do a big search engine business, but Charles did not give you enough support, so that the proverb "both born Robin Lee, Wang Xiaochuan" spread in the Internet. "

  Wang Xiaochuan looked at the cup on the table expressionlessly, making Xia Jingxing a little unsure of what the other party was thinking at this time.

   After thinking about it, Xia Jingxing continued: "When Charles acquired ChinaRen, he took a fancy to you, who is in your early twenties and is a part-time technical director.

   At that time, you were still a graduate student at Aoki University, helping Chen Yizhou to develop that question-based search engine "Monkey King Search".

   It can be said that you are the first person to make a search engine in China. Robin Li launched Chihiro several months later than you.

  Unfortunately, I was still in the first year of high school in my hometown in Rongcheng, otherwise I would definitely vote for you! "

  Wang Xiaochuan couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing. The folk rumours "Xing in the North, Ma Yun in the South" are really not groundless.

   "What? You don't believe it?" Xia Jingxing looked angry because he was questioned.

Wang Xiaochuan smiled and was about to defend himself when Xia Jingxing interrupted him again: "I remember when Sun Wukong Search was just launched, Mr. Liu from the computer class recommended it to us students, he said: This is six years higher than you. It was developed by my brother Wang Xiaochuan. If you want to work on the Internet and computers in the future, you can learn from your brother Wang. First, you can win a gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, and then you can get the "Illida Youth Invention Award" issued by Yang Zhenning. Aoki computer professional.

   I was excited when I heard it, but unfortunately I ended up going to Stanford to study by accident, otherwise I would have entered Aoki University, and maybe I would have started a business in Beijing. "

  Wang Xiaochuan could hardly remember what Teacher Liu looked like, but he was still very happy when Xia Jingxing praised him like this.

He didn't suspect that Xia Jingxing was just making things up, because he was really the light of the school in his youth, and he was also the top group in the seventh middle school where the school masters gathered. He was soft when he won the award, and the school sent him out to compete for the honor. elite students.

   Following this topic, Xia Jingxing and Wang Xiaochuan chatted about their common memories of high school, and then began to praise Wang Xiaochuan again.

   "Unfortunately, Chen Yizhou likes to speculate too much. He holds you and the king of search engines in his hand, but he was beaten into a bad card by him."

  Xia Jingxing shook his head as he spoke, with a look of regret.

  Wang Xiaochuan defended his old club Chen Yizhou: "There is no way. At that time, because of the Internet bubble, ChinaRen had no hope of going public, so we could only reduce the support for the search engine business."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Why didn't he keep the Monkey King search and just sold ChinaRen?

   To put it bluntly, that person sometimes has poor vision, and often fails to persevere when he needs to persevere the most. He likes to choose projects that can see short-term benefits. "

  Wang Xiaochuan was silent, as if Chen Yizhou had something wrong with him, so even though he often stepped on the vent, he couldn't become a big boss for a long time.

   "Alas, it's a pity that your talent has given Robin Lee a crucial few years of development time, and Chihiro has passed through the weakest early stage of development."

  Xia Jingxing sighed and glanced at Wang Xiaochuan whose eyes were a little dim. He was secretly proud of himself. He thought that the water could not get in and struggled, but I didn't expect your brother to be obsessed and unable to let go.

  It’s good if we can’t let go, and we have a common goal if we can’t let go.

  Xia Jingxing asked: "I heard that when Charles bought ChinaRen, he said to you because he appreciated your talent: No matter how long you go to school, I can wait for you, and I will pay you how much you want?"

  Wang Xiaochuan smiled and nodded, "Charles said this, he is still very good to me, without him, I would not be where I am today."

   Xia Jingxing sneered, "Charles is too comfortable with pleasure and has lost the ambitions of his early years.

   I heard that when you officially joined Sohu after graduating from graduate school, he recruited you to the office and said to you: Give you six people and kill Qianxun! "

   Looking at Xia Jingxing's mocking expression, Wang Xiaochuan looked a little embarrassed, because there was such a thing, Charles Niubi coaxedly expressed that he wanted to kill Chihiro, but in the end he was only willing to give him the salary of six developers.

This amount of money is simply not enough to do anything. In the end, he can only turn 6 fully-owned employees into 12 part-time employees, and then more than a dozen people work day and night, sleeping four or five hours a night. It took 11 months to develop the search engine.

After such a delay, the gap with Qianxun became even wider. Sogou went public the following year after its launch. Since then, Sogou has no hope of surpassing Qianxun. He, Wang Xiaochuan, will always live under Robin Li. To him, he is also regarded as a tragic figure.
