1098. Wang Teng's Temptation
The pleasure boat was swimming in the Shicha Sea, and the speed was not fast. Lights were lit up on the Shicha Sea at night. The Shicha Sea is far from overdeveloped as ten years later, so it is far from the noisy and bustle ten years later.
In the capital city in midsummer, it is not easy to find such a cool and comfortable place. Rafting on the lake, enjoying dinner, and looking at the beautiful scenery in the surrounding morning, this scene made Li Yifan feel a little dazed, as if he was in the water town of Jiangnan.
The lake water is cool, and it has washed away the sultry and impetuousness of the day. Such a scene really makes people feel extremely lingering. There are also some lights on the lake not far away. Those are the same boats as this one. It seems that rich people will really enjoy it. Everyone likes this season, come here to take the summer vacation and relax.
Wang Teng held a teacup and stood beside Li Yifan, looking at the lake in the distance. Although the light was very dark and he could not see the scenery in the distance clearly, what he could enjoy at this time was the tranquility that was rarely enjoyed in the capital.
"I heard you have opened a new tea and beverage company? Is there a lot of noise?"
"Haha, it's just a small fuss. Your business with Brother Wang is incomparable."
"Get out! I can't compare with me yet? You know, you are the largest shareholder in our company now."
"Haha, wherever you can count, you still have those Americans. How about it? Are those Americans still honest in the company now?"
Li Yifan asked with a smile, in the era when e-commerce was just emerging, Wang Teng's companies were the first to make efforts, which was the top 40 thieves. After all, private computers have just begun to become popular these days, but now it is still a bit far from the era when every household has computers.
Therefore, it is somewhat unrealistic to expect the bargaining network to develop to the scale of later generations, but fortunately, in recent years, it is the era when China's foreign trade is most prosperous. The general trend of the world's factories has become.
Various small and medium-sized private enterprises. In the Pearl River Delta, where the economic atmosphere is more open, the Yangtze River Delta area is constantly emerging like mushrooms after a rain.
As long as there are such small factories, they will continue to demand raw materials, and the emergence of a new business model of e-commerce websites has undoubtedly saved a lot of time and energy for business people who pay more attention to efficiency, and also funds.
So now Wang Teng’s top thieves websites are undergoing a rapid development process, which is the same as Li Yifan expected in the early days, but no one can predict it more accurately, and it will take a few years.
These small and medium-sized private enterprises that seem full of vitality will decline and wither at an even more dazzling speed due to the monopoly of domestic giant state-owned enterprises and the arrival of the real estate tide.
At that time, it was a time when the net was picking up a glorious opportunity. Now there was no one except him who could see this, even Wang Teng, the operator of these two companies, could not do it.
But that happened a few years later, and now is the most glorious moment for the Forty Thieves. The cooperation between the Forty Thieves and Yahoo last year, as well as the profit report at the end of last year, was enough to blind many people's attention.
Nowadays, many people are focusing more on the e-commerce field, and various e-commerce websites under various banners are emerging like mushrooms after a rain.
Now these websites are also advertising wildly, but unfortunately, the Internet era will soon enter the craziest money-burning mode. After such a cruel experience of washing away the sand, the final outcome of those websites without sufficient capital will be to go bankrupt and decline.
Wang Teng, as a pioneer in this industry and the overlord of this field in China, can be said to be full of energy. The performance report at the end of last year showed that the transaction volume of the 40 thieves alone exceeded one billion last year, and the pure profit of the 40 thieves exceeded one hundred million.
Now the profit of this website has become more famous and has entered a rapid geometric growth model, so Wang Teng is definitely worthy of the title of industry elites.
Many people cheered for his vision and courage.
But what many people don’t know is that the development of these forty thieves to this day is also closely related to Li Yifan. The profit and scale of the forty thieves in their previous life were less than half of that. The ability to achieve such results now is absolutely inseparable from Li Yifan’s original financial support.
What's more, during the development of the Forty Thieves, several key decisions were all participated by Li Yifan.
"Well, the company's operating conditions are pretty good now, so they are all honest and can't see any bad intentions."
"Haha, in fact, the American philosophy has always been simple. When they are optimistic about a certain industry, they will use their abundant funds to smash the other party. Even if they can't get the hand, they will join in, and then either promote the fire or wait quietly to watch the company grow. When the company grows to a certain scale, they will ask the company to go public for financing. After the company goes public for financing, they will make a judgment based on the company's future development prospects.
If the company has a very good future prospect, they will use various means to occupy the original owner, and dominate the company alone, wanting to use the fruits of the province. If they are not optimistic about the company's prospects, they will quietly sell off the company's shares, get out of it, and make a big profit. The strategies these Americans are now using are nothing more than this. The United States is a commercial country, and there are so many better things than us in terms of capital operations."
Li Yifan said a little sigh, and Wang Teng also nodded silently from the side. It is true that Americans are just a conspiracy. In fact, many people know what they are planning to do.
But even if you know it very well, what can you do? In the end, you have to submit? Who can let others control the world's voice and huge amount of capital?
In this capital world where strength is the king, whoever has money will have a bigger fist and can speak loudly. This is the unspoken rule of this world.
"Haha, let's not talk about these things for now. The dishes are all served. Let's go over and have a chat."
The chef on the pleasure boat had prepared the meal. Wang Teng invited Li Yifan over to eat and chat. Li Yifan was hungry at this time, so he and Wang Teng were not polite and went over to sit down directly.
Today’s main focus is roast duck. The master who was once in Quanju Decan was invited. The roast duck relies on crispy skin and smooth flesh, which makes people feel fragrant with lips and teeth. Several other side dishes, such as duck tongue and duck webbing, are also very refreshing.
The two of them ate and drank, and the beautiful scenery outside the pleasure boat, the wine was very pleasant to drink.
"By the way, Yifan, the American's 500 million US dollars have been received. Do we score a point?"
At the beginning, the Americans took out 500 million US dollars, and what they wanted was the forty thieves plus a certain share of Alipay. Among the forty thieves, Li Yifan's shares were the ones, and Alipay accounted for half.
Of course, he can also share the money if he gives up a certain amount of shares, but is it as simple as Wang Teng coming to give money?
"You keep the money first. Anyway, I don't lack money now. Even if I get it, I have to find an opportunity to invest in it. I think the Juebain Network has just improved, but now the competition with EBay is very fierce. In the future, there will be no need to have a long battle. Let's leave some spare funds for Juebain."
Li Yifan's words made Wang Teng very satisfied. If Li Yifan really accepted the money, he would be underestimated.
Only when money is circulated can it be money. It is placed in the bank, but in the eyes of people like them, it is the most unworthy way.
He originally intended to prepare some spare funds for the net.
"Well, although the development speed of the Jump Net is not comparable to that of the Forty Thieves, it is much faster than last year. I am still far-sighted. With the popularity of our domestic private computers and the improvement of the Internet, the future development of this Jump Net is absolutely unlimited. It is inevitable to prepare some of the funds for it now. Otherwise, when other companies come in to grab their jobs, we don't have enough bullets in our hands and fight for firepower with them."
Wang Teng nodded and said, but after that, he continued.
"But in terms of the popularity of private computers in my country, I think in the next two years, the net will expand its scale. I think preparing a $100 million is enough to deal with it, but what should I do with the remaining money? I am still very good now. Brother, I know that you have always been smart and have a relatively accurate vision. Can you show me what you have? Do you have any suitable investment channels?"
Wang Teng's tentative question made Li Yifan stunned. He knew him quite well. Wang Teng was actually a person with absolute confidence and a strong desire to control himself.
His ability to ask himself this means that on the one hand, he really trusts himself, and on the other hand, it means that things will never be as simple as he said.
