Chapter 10: Changing the World
Chapter 10: Change the World
"Mr. Ren, isn't the 35 billion US dollars a little more? Although I am very optimistic about your company." The person in charge of Sequoia Capital said with a frown.
"Note!" Ren Hong suddenly emphasized, "What I said about 35 billion does not refer to XlouS! It refers to the value of the instant online translation product and the initial value."
"What? This is impossible." Li Taosheng denied on the spot.
Ren Hong glanced at both sides and said, "Everyone, now is the era of sharing with highly developed information. Globalization is the trend. The Internet makes the world closer and the world is interconnected. Instant online translation is the business of global Internet users. Every growing Internet user is a potential consumer of instant online translation. Because people are born to communicate, and people cannot learn the language and text of major countries and regions around the world. I want to emphasize that instant online translation is the business of global Internet users. How many Internet users are there in the world now? 3.3 billion! Except for half of these 3.3 billion people, they only need to spend one month in their lifetime, that is, RMB 15, can you calculate how much? Of course, my statement is not very scientific, but this also reflects the huge potential of instant online translation."
This is definitely a crazy big data.
"I dare to ask Mr. Ren what the valuation of XlouS is and whether he can accept investment from Sequoia Capital." The person in charge of Sequoia Capital did not refute, which was equivalent to indirectly acknowledging the huge value of instant online mutual translation.
Ren Hong paused and replied calmly: "XlouS! Priceless!"
"Haha!" The person in charge of Sequoia Capital smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Mr. Ren, I admit that every company is priceless in the eyes of the founders. This is understandable. But then again, there is nothing in this world that cannot be clearly marked. What do you think?"
"Indeed!" Ren Hong admitted, but asked, "I would like to ask if you have seen the logo of XlouS?"
"Haha! Mr. Ren is really ambition." When the person in charge of Sequoia Capital heard this, he immediately smiled. He naturally had seen the logo logo of XlouS.
XlouS: Change the World
The first time he saw such a slogan, he just sneered and smiled.
Ren Hong asked with a smile: "So you think, how can you give him an exact estimate for such a company?"
"If there is really such a company in this world, it would be priceless. Forgive Ge, I don't think XlouS is such a company. Although he has such potential at present, there is no such company in this world." Fang Pinghe answered.
"Haha!" Ren Hong smiled softly, not continuing the argument on this topic, and said, "Let's talk about existing products! Currently, the real-time online translation is only the initial version, that is, the text translation version. The next version will add the mutual translation between voice and text. Although the difficulty is exponentially increased, it is just icing on the cake, but I think this is worth it and it is also a huge profit point, although version 2.0 cannot be compared with the initial version."
"What? Can you still translate pronunciation and text?" The person in charge of Sequoia Capital said in shock when he heard this.
"Is this possible?" Li Taosheng was a little disbelief.
"Why is this impossible?" Ren Hong asked back, and the other party could not refute it immediately. Instant online translation has changed from impossible to possible.
This is the charm of technology.
The heads of the two venture capital institutions were silent. This was indeed a priceless startup, but its investment and returns were a little different from the past. But on the other hand, investing in this company is almost clear. It is almost impossible to lose money, with high risks and high returns. Investing in this company is almost no risk, so there is no jealous return.
"I am frank! Mr. Ren, even if I admit that everything you said is true, you do not have sufficient funds to expand. If you do not accept venture capital, you may not be able to effectively promote your products for several years, and you will not be able to see the gold medal from afar." Li Taosheng said.
The two sides talked for a long time without a specific result. At this time, the three parties' attention was attracted by the voices and laughter coming from downstairs.
The person in charge of Sequoia Capital and IDG Technology Venture Capital Fund twitched when he saw the young figure below.
Unexpectedly, Mark Zuckerberg came here in person. It was obviously this product that attracted him and proved how amazing the potential of this product is. You should know that the person attracted is the helmsman with a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars. At this moment, both Sequoia Capital and IDG have made up their minds, that is, they must share the interests in it.
Ren Hong showed a light smile after seeing this scene, "The person who gave the money is here."
Li Taosheng and the head of Sequoia Capital did not understand what he meant, but Ren Hong had already begun to issue an order to expel guests, "Everyone, it seems that there is no agreement today, so let's go another day. I believe that as long as you have enough sincerity, cooperation is not impossible."
The other party's words are obvious.
"Indeed! We are talking in detail another day, so I won't disturb you." Li Taosheng said with a smile. He had long forgotten Ren Hong's previous ignorance. They were all qualified businessmen, and qualified businessmen will never be able to compete with the US dollar.
"Ge has also said goodbye! I am looking forward to cooperation with your company!" The person in charge of Sequoia Capital also smiled.
Ren Hong nodded and smiled, "I can't give it to you personally, please give it to me!"
Seeing the other party's departure, Ren Hong calmed down and then walked into the classroom. The interior was quiet and there was no sound of typing on the keyboard. This made Ren Hong slightly stunned. Looking at him, he found several roommates looking at him.
"What are you doing? Have you turned into wood?" Ren Hong said.
After a long time, Zhang Han said with admiration: "Boss! You will be my boss in the future!"
"Where is this the elm head we know, the academic master who spends all day in the library?" Zhou Hui said blankly.
"This is simply a veteran who has been in the mall for many years, and is a versatile person! Is there any!" Chen Kai continued.
When Ren Hong heard this, he smiled and looked at everyone, "Hehe, what you see is the tip of the iceberg."
"35 billion yuan, I can't believe that XlouS, which is currently worth $35 billion after renting a few hundred square meters, several computers, and several servers to build a website! My worldview is going to be messy. When will it be so easy to make money?" Zhang Han said in a daze, and the same is true for others.
"Okay, brothers, I will announce an important thing to you in a few days. It is very important to you and me. I will say hello to you first, but before that, Facebook founder Zuckerberg came, and now he should be on the second floor." Ren Hong estimated for a moment and said.
"What? Zuckerberg?" Everyone was shocked again.
"The money is here!" Ren Hong teased, then coughed dryly, his eyes were full of hot eyes, and said, "Okay! What should I do! When Xiaozha founded Facebook, he was in the dormitory, Jobs created Apple in the garage, and we created XlouS in the classroom of Tsinghua University! So, they are not unattainable, far away. One day, we, XlouS, will stand at their height and even surpass them! Because XlouS..."
"Change the world!" Everyone called out in unison with excitement. When Ren Hong's unique voice spoke this passage, it seemed to have a magical charm. Everyone present was full of passion. Ren Hong's performance fully possessed the characteristics that a company founder should have. Although he was only 19 years old, he could generate a powerful centripetal force every time he talked to his subordinates, making everyone so passionate.
