Chapter 340 The shop is closed

After the first day, the growth of Micropoint Antivirus began to decline, but the installed capacity still increased by about 1 million every day. Preliminary estimates, before the end of this month, will be able to approach the installed capacity of micro point security guards, reaching a scale of 30 million.

Therefore, this month is a period of high risk, so you must be honest and low-key.

If you can't go out, try not to go out.

However, he received an email from an Internet tycoon - former Sohu president Gu Yongqiang.

In March of this year, he resigned from Sohu, and then went to the United States to retreat.

In the summer, it was widely rumored that he would become the president of Google China, but in the end Google chose Li Kaifu and Zhou Shaoning.

In November, he returned to China to start a business and established Heyi Company.

The two met at a coffee shop in Zhongguancun.

Gu Yongqiang was startled by Zhou Buqi's formation, "So many bodyguards? I thought I met a celebrity."

"No way, the wind has been tight recently."

"What happened?"

"Midian antivirus, it's free."

"Are you worrying too much? The Dongfang Weidian case has just been pronounced not long ago. Who would dare to make trouble at this juncture?"

"It's always right to be careful." Zhou Buqi smiled, and then stretched out his right hand, "Get to know Zhou Buqi, the founder of Ziweixing Technology."

Gu Yongqiang shook hands with him, and also reported his family name: "Gu Yongqiang, the small boss of Heyi Company, you can call me Victor."

The Internet circle is like this, it is relatively trendy, and it gathers a group of idealists. They don't like to call this "brother" and that "general", they just call each other by their first names.

Sometimes the difference in age and level is too large, and it is not respectful to call them by names, so they are called English names, such as charles, jack, pony and so on.

At Zhou Buqi's age, it's really impolite to call him by his first name. He smiled and said, "Just came back from Silicon Valley?"

"Two months."

"Find the funds?"

Gu Yongqiang nodded, "3 million dollars."

"Awesome!" Zhou Buqi gave a thumbs up, "When I came to study at Beike last year, I brought 10,000 yuan with me."

Gu Yongqiang felt that this kid was a bit self-proclaimed, but he was in the stage of starting a business and had no time to argue. He said bluntly: "I wanted to build a video website. I originally thought it was called Heyi.com. Later, the team voted and collectively opposed it, saying that it should be called Youku. The website is better. The purpose of the website is to provide you with excellent and cool videos.”

Zhou Buqi looked at him with a half-smile, "Victor, didn't you tell the truth?"

"Um?"

"I invested in a website called YouTube. People call it Youtu, and yours is Youku. Isn't this trying to catch my popularity?"

"ah?"

Gu Yongqiang was stunned.

It seems unbelievable that this kid actually invested in YouTube? That is the most popular video website in the United States now, and it is even better than the video services of giants such as America Online, Yahoo, and MSN. It is said that it has been targeted by some giants.

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "Video is a good direction. I plan to keep the domain name youku.com for my own use."

Gu Yongqiang's face was a little ugly, "Is there no way to talk?"

"Conditions."

"Tell me."

"How much is the price of Angel Wheel?"

Gu Yongqiang understood what he meant, took a deep look at him, and said frankly: "Our team invested 2 million US dollars, and the angel investment we found in Silicon Valley sold 10% of the shares for 1 million US dollars."

Zhou Buqi frowned, and said lightly: "If it is a strategic partner of Ziweixing, our practice is to hold no less than 25% of the shares."

"Strategic cooperation?"

"Victor, video is an outlet. Within two years, the three major portals, as well as Internet giants like Penguin and Baidu, will definitely invest heavily in the video field. Without a strong helper, how can Youku survive in the cracks?"

"Why don't you do it yourself?"

"No confidence."

"No confidence?"

Gu Yongqiang almost laughed.

Zhou Buqi said sternly: "To be a video website, the business volume is too large, and the operation is extremely complicated. Without rich experience in large teams, it is difficult to do well. This is what we currently lack."

The truth in my heart is that building a video website is a money-burning game.

Don't even think about making a profit in ten or twenty years.

Continuous high investment is required, and the operating pressure is too great, which is less than that of shared bicycles. Shared bicycles can also recover some deposits, and there is still the expectation of paying back.

Video sites are a bottomless pit.

Once a large-scale burning of money is started, it is necessary to raise funds from outside. Round after round, the shares will be diluted less and less. In the end, they can only be forced to sell and become part of the giant's industrial ecology.

At a certain stage in the future, Zhou Buqi will definitely enter the arena in person to show his talents in this field. There is no need for now, invest in Youku, wait for Youku to go public in a few years, cash out and earn a wave is enough.

Moreover, he had already planned.

It is difficult to build a platform, but it can pinch the source of content.

Xu Baihui has already entered the entertainment circle, and this is the beginning.

Gu Yongqiang drank his coffee and remained silent for a long time.

He recognized what Zhou Buqi said.

He came out of Sohu.

Sohu has a video section called Sohu Broadband. When he left, he was still in a mess. However, with the sudden rise of YouTube, the whole world has realized that the current video mode should be based on sharing and interaction.

Presumably it won't be long before Sohu Broadband will be revised.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Chaoyang over the years, Sohu will definitely crack down on Youku without mercy.

Moreover, Xiaonei is a social platform that focuses on sharing and interaction, and it is a match made in heaven with YouTube-type websites. For example, 5Q Campus Network took the lead in reaching a strategic cooperation with 56 Network.

"What about the price?"

Gu Yongqiang's heart was moved, as if he was a hungry fish, knowing that there was a hook behind the bait, he had to bite it.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Youku.com hasn't launched yet, and the domain name is in my hands! And it's a strategic cooperation, so I'm sure to get a lower offer than the angel round valuation. Let's do it, 2 million US dollars, plus youku The domain name .com accounts for 25% of the shares.”

Gu Yongqiang nodded.

For the entrepreneurial team, the company has just started, and it needs to continuously dilute the shares, which is not a small psychological obstacle. Fortunately, this request is not too much. After the agreement is reached, the entrepreneurial team still holds 67.5% of the shares, which is still a high proportion.

More importantly, the channel resources of Youyou.com and Xiaonei.com are too important.

"I'll discuss it with investors and the team when I go back." Soon, he made his own decision.

Zhou Buqi smiled, stood up, and stretched out his right hand, "I hope we can cooperate successfully."

"Same."

Gu Yongqiang also stood up with a smile and said goodbye.

The people sitting at the two tables next to Zhou Buqi were all newly arranged bodyguards, who were inevitably eavesdropping, and they were already stunned.

How long have you been sitting down?

Have 5 minutes?

A big deal of 2 million US dollars, just a dozen sentences back and forth, and the negotiation is over?

They used to protect a coal boss.

Also participated in a lot of entertainment.

When was it not drunk in the dark? When is it not surrounded by beautiful women? It was the first time I saw such an understated business meeting, and it was an eye-opener.

I feel that this young Boss Xiao Zhou, apart from hiring a bunch of bodyguards for fear of death, has a really high professional level.

...

"Zhou Buqi, you made me miserable!"

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"You made me miserable!"

As soon as the voice fell, Ma Shangqi hung up the phone angrily.

Call back, she will not answer.

There was no way, Zhou Buqi transferred to Beihang, went directly to the milk tea shop, and sure enough, he saw Xiaojiali sitting behind the counter, with a cold face and sullen.

"Who messed with you?" Zhou Buqi lay on the side of the counter, looking at him amusedly.

"you!"

After seeing him, Ma Shangqi's face became even colder, and she turned her head away from him.

Zhou Buqi was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"

Ma Shangqi said angrily: "It's all your bad idea, it made me miserable!"

"Bad idea?" Zhou Buqi thought of something, and asked tentatively, "You mean Taobao shop?"

"My shop has been closed." Ma Shangqi pursed her lips, aggrieved.

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable.

The store is closed?

can't you?

Taobao is still fighting with eBay these days. Although it has the absolute upper hand, it can't be careless. How dare it close the store easily?

"Why was it banned? Did you give a reason?"

"It's not because of swiping the bill."

Ma Shangqi snorted and gave him a hard look.

Zhou Buqi frowned, puzzled, "I'll close the store for you if you place a thousand or eight hundred orders? No..."

"Who said thousands of orders, I..."

While talking, Ma Shangqi's face turned bright red, her voice became lower and lower, she couldn't continue, she glanced at him guiltyly, and then quickly lowered her head.

Zhou Buqi understood it immediately, and was speechless, "Did you not follow the method I said?"

"The method you mentioned can't get on the homepage at all. I have read it all. If you want to be recommended on the homepage, the daily sales should be at least 1 million, and hundreds of orders a day are not enough."

"How do you do it?"

"I……"

"explain!"

"Why are you so fierce." Ma Shangqi flattened her mouth, scratched her head again, and said weakly: "At first I followed what you said, but it didn't work. So... I increased the dose. The day before yesterday, A dozen of my classmates and I placed a total of more than 20,000 orders, but we couldn't send the goods. We added duplicate tracking numbers, and made more than 700,000 sales, ranking first in the category recommendation... ..."

Zhou Buqi was angry and funny, "You are so obvious, can people not close the store? That has seriously affected the fairness of the recommendation mechanism, and maybe other stores reported it."

"Then what should I do?" Ma Shangqi was very anxious, stomping her feet non-stop, "Zhou Buqi, you are so smart, help me figure out a way, my Taobao store has invested hundreds of dollars, Ma Pingshan There is also a deposit of 5,000 yuan."

Zhou Buqi rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Okay, I'll think about it later."

"I'm counting on you this time." Ma Shangqi's eyes flashed with great anticipation, and she sighed pitifully, "I thought it would be better to increase the dose, but I accidentally killed it."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing.
