Chapter 439 The situation rises
The Friendship Hotel held an informal exchange meeting in the evening, but there were also many people participating.
Chen Qiaoshan specifically explained that he would not make specific requests at night, and it would be considered as providing a private communication space for webmasters.
Chen Qiaoshan was not prepared to be watched from the beginning. He just wanted to go over and take a look in private, but there were many people following him, not only Fatty Sun, Wang Lin, and Yuan Jing, but also the newly recruited assistant was pulled over by Yan Xiaoqin. With the joining of Tuo Xiaoxue, there was another small group of girls from Dengzhou, which was very lively.
MINI is definitely not able to sit down, but Chen Qiaoshan is willing to squeeze in, but it's okay to think about it. It's definitely a luxury to hug left and right. A few words of happiness will only make a self-inflicted effort. He consciously stopped a car on the side of the road with Fatty Sun.
Due to the Olympics and the city appearance and appearance, the Yanjing Municipal Government is vigorously rectifying the taxi market, and renewal is imperative. The result is that it is difficult to find a car during peak hours.
Especially today is another weekend. After waiting for a while, the two of them didn't stop one.
"You don't have money, why don't you buy a car yourself?"
Fatty Sun was a little impatient and complained without saying a word.
In his opinion, MINI is too small and is equivalent to a special car for women. Yan Xiaoqin is okay to drive, but men are not suitable. This is what most people think now.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "If you want to open, you have to have a driver's license. Last time, I couldn't help driving it out for a walk, but I happened to be stopped by the traffic police."
"No, are you so unlucky?" Fatty Sun couldn't help but gloat. He knew Chen Qiaoshan's level and was better than him in driving. Apart from the traffic police, there was nothing scary. He asked, "What did you do later?"
"Not much treatment, just temporary road control."
"You can do it."
Knowing that he was joking, Fatty Sun didn't care. After thinking about it, he asked, "When I go home in two days, why don't I get you a driver's license for you?"
"You have a way?" Chen Qiaoshan became interested. It was really inconvenient to not have a driver's license. He wanted to take the exam but couldn't find time. "By the way, don't you not have a driver's license?"
"Spend money to buy it." Fatty Sun looked common, "My father was afraid that I would cause trouble outside, so he forced me to take the exam, otherwise I would have got it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now."
"That's all for the sake of Yanjing. I'd better go back to our small county town and think of a way. If you spend more money, you will definitely be able to do it."
Chen Qiaoshan did not refuse, it was easier to have a driver's license. As for safety issues, it was for novices. He was an experienced driver and would never joke about his life.
After finally stopping a car, they arrived at the place and were shocked when they saw it, "So many people?"
Friendship Hotel is a garden-style hotel covering an area of nearly 400,000 square meters, with a large atrium and a large beer corridor. Even so, it is already overcrowded.
Chen Qiaoshan murmured to himself: "There are indeed a bit too many people."
Fatty Sun looked around and said, "No, it's useless to eat and drink. If I had known, I would have called more people to come."
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but smile, okay, he has become a sucker.
Look at the Yanjing Jingang barrels, raw white beer, ice pure beer, and various barbecue supplies accumulated on the sidelines. I don’t know how many to be made this night.
"Okay, you can't even get enough food and drink to block your mouth?"
Chen Qiaoshan naturally won't take this cost seriously.
Looking at the lively situation on the scene, he felt a little more confident. Although these people are grassroots forces of the Internet, they are also the targets he is eager to win over.
In the distance, you can still see Wang Sifeng, Dai Zhikang, Dong Qifeng and others, which are in the center of everyone.
It can be seen that they are very popular, and there are many nearby people who are catching up or waiting to come forward to meet up.
Fatty Sun also noticed it. He said with envy: "Look at Lao Wang, the people around him are all proud, as if they have picked up money. I don't know what these people are thinking!"
"What, jealous?"
Chen Qiaoshan naturally knew the reason. The so-called "no profit" cannot afford to get up early. The free sponsorship of 300,000 yuan and the financing amount of 2 million US dollars will probably blind the eyes of most people present.
In this industry, there is never a shortage of projects, and there are definitely a very small number of people who can get financing, and capital is like weapons and ammunition.
Just like that sad 1sou.com, when doing searches, Boss Zhou dared to blatantly break the rules.
If this is a coincidence, Chen Qiaoshan must not believe it, but creativity is cheap.
Even if this matter is a big deal, it will not shake the root cause of searching unless Baidu gets involved, or Chen Qiaoshan is willing to make a kick.
"I'm not interested in getting involved in the coder circle." Fatty Sun was very open-minded, "By the way, can you give out two million US dollars, and you dare to make advertisements everywhere?"
The biggest gimmick of this webmaster meeting is Qingshan Capital. Under Chen Qiaoshan's instruction, the conference organizer announced that he would provide angel investment of 2 million US dollars this time.
Nowadays, domestic venture capital is developing rapidly, but most of the funds are concentrated on short and fast projects. It is rare for entrepreneurial investments with extremely high risk coefficients.
Qingshan Capital has introduced the concept of angel investment into China for the first time. As long as there is a team and can provide a complete entrepreneurial plan, you can apply. The investment threshold is so low that everyone will definitely look at it.
In addition to attention, there are more questions and ridicule.
Chen Qiaoshan is very clear about the public opinion's reaction, no wonder it is normal not to show off the rabbit or eagle.
There are not many people who have invested in angels these days, but there are definitely not many. It is definitely the only one who dares to be so high-profile.
"The money can definitely be raised, but it may not be possible if you can invest so much." Fatty Sun is not an outsider, and Chen Qiaoshan was slightly clear about it.
He was somewhat grateful, and at least he had a friend who could rest assured.
Although Sun Guangming is not very reliable, he should still be able to stand alone after training.
Some people rank based on their merits and some people rank based on their talents, and Chen Qiaoshan didn't catch a cold.
Li Yinan had outstanding abilities and was appointed as Huawei's successor. As a result, he turned around and digdled the foundation of his old boss, making Ren Zhengfei embarrassed.
Gome's boss Huang treated Chen Xiaoru's brothers and even the chef helped him invite him. As a result, as soon as the old Huang entered, the other side joined forces with Bain Capital to seize power...
There are not too many such examples. In the face of interests, there are not many people around you who can trust them.
Fatty Sun asked, "This is 20 million yuan. Where did you get so much money?"
"Don't worry." Chen Qiaoshan was about to talk to Fatty Sun about crude oil futures when someone suddenly came uninvited and came to the two of them. He greeted him very happily: "Two little brothers, let's change your business cards and communicate."
Neither of them were coders, and they couldn't talk to everyone in the field, so they stayed on the edge of the venue, but no one came to disturb them.
"My name is Liao Kai. My friends are used to calling me Liao San. Now they are building a small website. Look, this is my business card, with a website and contact information on it. If you are interested, you can communicate."
Liao Kai stuffed a business card to each of the two young men opposite him, and he was still holding a large stack in his hand.
His purpose tonight is very simple. He sends out all the business cards in his hand and makes some contacts. Not to mention anything else, it is also good to be familiar with him.
Just now, Liao San met several industry celebrities, and even the contact information of the legendary Dai Zhikang was coming. You can go back to brag about it.
Chen Qiaoshan looked at the website on the business card and had no impression. He had to say, "Sorry, we didn't prepare a business card."
"It's okay." Liao Sanman didn't care. Those who carry business cards with him these days are either selling or opening a bag company.
Internet people are not popular with this, but it is rare for a group of individual webmasters to bring business cards.
He kindly reminded: "I said to you two, don't waste a great opportunity for communication. There are free printing equipment at the door. As long as you show the conference brand, you can print it for free. You can print as much as you want."
"We are building small websites, survival is not easy, and technical communication is very important." Liao San was quite talkative. He glanced at the two of them and asked again: "How is it, let's talk to each other. Do you have any good cheating methods?"
Fatty Sun was confused when he heard this. He was not interested in building a website, not to mention that there was no advertisement for Qingshan Forum and Yidu, he had no idea.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that 80% of the current personal websites survived by advertising alliances, and 90% of these people had cheated.
Speculation will inevitably occur when it involves interests. This phenomenon is very common. It is a process of game, which is inevitable in any era. From Alibaba’s mother to Baidu Alliance, the problem has never been completely solved.
"Sorry, we are here to seek financing." Chen Qiaoshan directly blocked the possibility of continuing to talk.
The Internet is disorderly, and he does not oppose cheating, and he only relies on his ability. However, an entrepreneur with pursuit will definitely not only focus on immediate interests.
"Oh, that's it." Liao San felt a little boring. He didn't want to waste time on irrelevant people.
After thinking about it, he took out a folded business card from his pocket and handed it over and said, "I have a friend here to raise funds. This is his business card. It's useless for me to keep it. You can communicate with me if you have the chance to go back."
Chen Qiaoshan was skeptical, so he took it and saw, "Yang Bo?"
"Yes, it's just Yang Bo, I said I wanted to build a website, what's the name Douban!" Liao San was impressed. He wandered around for a long time and didn't have many people who were not interested in cheating technology. This is normal. If you don't cheat, you may have to stop many sites.
Chen Qiaoshan was stunned. He looked at the business card in his hand carefully again, and couldn't help but secretly glad that this trip was worth it tonight.
Douban is the most typical representative of the web2.0 era. The Internet transitions from providing content to user-generated content, which is also the beginning of an era.
Chen Qiaoshan had been paying attention for a long time, but unfortunately, he searched through all the financing applications and did not see the shadow of Douban. He did not expect to encounter it by chance.
"Okay, brothers, I'll go somewhere else first. It's not easy for our industry to support our family. It's better to communicate more skills and don't point to the sky and get a pie that can fall from the sky." Liao San reminded him a few more words, and then rushed to the next wave of Internet people.
There is no way, cheating is not that easy.
Internet technology is innovating too quickly. If you are not careful, you may be caught by the income alliance and banned. It is not easy for anyone to support your family.
"What was the cheating he said?" Fatty Sun asked.
"The matter of advertising alliance is similar to data fraud. I can't explain it clearly. If you go back and ask Lao Wang, he will definitely know." Chen Qiaoshan explained a few words, and the phone rang in his pocket.
He picked it up and saw that it was Elliott called. He was also a little surprised. He had already found this point, so why did he find it?
"Chan, let me tell you good news."
"Eliot, do you need to contact us at night?"
"Oh, James said, you Chinese are all traditional. Even if you disturb your date with a beautiful woman, I don't think you will mind. Of course, in front of the US dollar, the beautiful woman is just a foil."
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Okay, I won't be kidding anymore. It should be important to contact me so late, right?"
Elliot chuckled, then changed into a very formal tone and said, "Chen, I just received the latest news that the United States was hit by a strong typhoon."
"Is that true?" Chen Qiaoshan had seen the power of the No. 9 Windball in Hong Kong. When he heard the news of the typhoon again, he was also a little scared, "Eliot, what does this have to do with me?"
Elliot reminded: "Chan, you have to know that the typhoon has swept the coasts of Alabama and Florida."
Chen Qiaoshan suddenly woke up, "You mean that this typhoon landed in the northern Gulf of Mexico for a generation?"
"That's right!"
Elliott did not hesitate anymore, and said directly: "This storm is severe. According to the latest news, more than one-third of the oil fields near the Gulf of Mexico were forced to be closed, and seven refineries and a crude oil export facility were facing shutdown."
"Then what?"
"Chan, you should know that the United States is currently the world's largest crude oil importer. The northern Gulf of Mexico is the United States' energy base. Crude oil output accounts for more than a quarter of the total U.S. consumption. Once the work is shut down, the gap in domestic crude oil in the United States will increase..."
After saying this, Chen Qiaoshan naturally knew what this meant.
Chapter completed!
