Chapter 177: New investment predators
There are many illusions on the Internet, such as, you think that those who use office are genuine, and those who use wps are pirated. In fact, the development time of WPS is two years earlier than Office.
You have the illusion that it is purely because Office is Microsoft's and the system you use is Microsoft's. As long as they want, they can force the installation of office on all computers.
WPS is different because the system does not work part-time and is expensive, which makes it increasingly unpopular on computers and its market share becomes smaller and smaller.
So, Kingsoft President Qiu Bojun began the most proficient in Internet entrepreneurs, seeking change.
Without giving up WPS, develop another money-making software, Kingsoft Antivirus!
This software was successfully created in 1999. In the same year, Qiu Bojun took his younger brother Lei Jun to Kyoto to establish a branch, Kingsoft Antivirus Software Company.
At this time, the domestic antivirus software market was in full swing. Jiangmin antivirus software and Rising were fighting in a dark and dark way. Both software were somewhat useful. In this era, network security itself was weak and could defend against some viruses.
But with Kingsoft Antivirus entering the market this year, everything is different. First, the genuine version was sold at a low price of 50 yuan, and then various functions began to be launched, becoming a gathering place for software downloads.
These changes have completely made Kingsoft occupy the entire market. Especially after the subsequent computer games were made, Lei Jun used Kingsoft to launch the first so-called plug-in, Kingsoft modifier, which made this software popular again.
After all, everyone wants the pleasure of cheating. During that time, the straight men in the game went to the Internet cafe and were the must-have Kingsoft Antivirus, not antivirus, but cheating.
Later, Lei Jun should have made enough money and became the first anti-check-up person. It was really great.
In short, in the next three to five years, Kingsoft Antivirus will be invincible in the antivirus market, and no one can beat it. It was not until the entry of 360 and Penguin that the antivirus software entered the free era, Kingsoft and Rising also entered the free era in 2011, and Kingsoft barely survived with plug-ins.
But after Lei Jun turned on the cheating, he left Kingsoft Company, and Kingsoft Modifier became history.
Then, Kingsoft Anti-Japanese War was ignored. Although it was still being updated today in 2020, no one used it anymore and once became a rogue software. If you don’t know any software knowledge, you can’t even remove it.
But you cannot deny the greatness of Bojun, especially when he will make another glory when he will die and die.
However, Chu Han was more interested in it and asked the one named Lei Jun beside Bojun.
"Mr. Xiao Chu, if you have time to go to Zhuhai for fun, our company's headquarters is in Zhuhai. I'll take you to visit our Kingsoft headquarters." Qiu Bojun warmly invited.
"Of course, when I have time, I will definitely go over and sit there." Chu Han said with a smile.
So the two began to pass on business cards to each other.
After chatting for a few seconds, I asked Bojun and Lei Jun to do their own business. There are still many things they have not completed about the branch. Once it is completed, Kingsoft Anti-Drug will directly enter the market to participate in the hot anti-virus market.
Chu Han also negotiated with Li Yanhong about the equity distribution of investment matters.
Like Penguin, Chu Han occupies 70% of the equity, but Li Yanhong's investment must be divided into three phases, and each phase must reach a certain amount.
The first period is 5 million, which is a budget, the second period is 20 million, and the third period is 50 million, and the annual period is 1 year.
Within three years, Li Yanhong will let this search engine find a profit point that suits him.
This is similar to the penguin's contract, and the penguin needs to invest more, but thankfully, the penguin has found a profit point.
But if Li Yanhong can really successfully put his search engine into domestic browsers or develop his own browser, then his profit points will be easier to find, and first of all, the advertising fee will be the big one.
Only Chu Han knows how much search attracts traffic.
If you encounter any problems you don’t know in the future, the other party usually says: “You are Baidu!”
Baidu, these two words have almost entered people's daily lives.
Li Yanhong said: "Give this software a name?"
Then, everyone looked at Chu Han.
Chu Han blurted out subconsciously: "BD."
When these two words were said, everyone else was confused for a long time.
Chu Han said: "He was searching for thousands of miles in the crowd. People searched for the answers, and it was also Baidu, so it was called BD."
At this point, this search engine finally had a name that should have belonged to him. Li Yanhong liked this name very much, and even later called the meeting room in the company Qingyu Case.
......
"Hey, who?" Brother Ma took the phone call. Sure enough, the voice of English on the other side made Brother Ma frown.
It’s not that he can’t speak English, but he doesn’t use English for normal communication. At first, he’s very uncomfortable with it.
In a long conversation between the other party, Brother Ma heard the word invest.
This is a verb, meaning investment.
The moment he heard this word, Xiao Ma hung up the phone.
Chu Han's arrival eventually led to the butterfly effect developing into a very large range of influence.
Thomas looked at the phone in his hand and sighed silently.
He is the head of China at DeFengjie Venture Capital. This is his second year in China, but so far, he has not found a suitable investment project.
Logically speaking, he could not find the penguin, but because of Chu Han's existence, the penguin was dazzling in advance, and finally it was discovered by the four largest investment companies in the world.
After some investigation, Thomas found that the software was spread so quickly and widely spread, which was simply shocking.
He thought that such a company would develop so fast and would be a time when it was extremely lacking in funds. Where is his Defengjie? It is a place where outstanding entrepreneurs around the world can have enough funds to develop and grow, and thus bring benefits to themselves.
Moreover, Defengjie avoided the United States and went to the developing China just to see if there is any potential Internet companies.
Needless to say, the third family is not his turn to invest. After finally discovering Penguin, Thomas kept calling Brother Ma, but Brother Ma ignored him.
"This young man only invested eight million yuan. What's the point of eight million? Shouldn't an Internet company need more money if it wants to develop rapidly? The other party is the same. Every time I hang up the phone before I finished listening to my words, I must not hear the amount I want to say, otherwise I wouldn't hang up the phone casually!"
Thinking of this, Thomas knew that it was time to move and he needed to go to Shenzhen.
But just when Thomas was planning to book a plane ticket to Shenzhen City, a call from above made him temporarily give up this idea.
"We received a report in Silicon Valley that a search engine company needs funding. According to the evaluation of the headquarters company, the company's potential has reached S-level. The other party is willing to seek investment from our company, but the other party has not yet confirmed it. Thomas, take this company down! Penguin can postpone it!"
Chapter completed!
