Back To 1995

   Chapter 288 Sparks start a prairie

  Domestic venture capital companies have been around for several years, but they are willing to bet on the Internet industry, but there are not many. The first to eat crabs can make huge profits, but they are generally the most vulnerable.

   The venture capital department of Xingyuan Fund is the first in China to claim to invest in the Internet and technology industries, and the investment in Yinghaiwei should also be the first Internet company to be venture-funded in China!

From the news from the media to Song Yang's departure from Yinghaiwei, the news has spread all over the major cities in China. For ordinary news viewers, they may think that this is just news, but for the Internet and the technology industry , this is probably the arrival of a new era.

  Like the wind on the grassland, the domestic Internet is like a small flame on the grassland. As a result, it encounters the wind of venture capital, just like the trend of sparks blazing a prairie, and quickly makes the entire Internet boil.

On the BBS forum, the posts were completely insane, "Yinghaiwei got the first domestic venture capital investment!", "Star Wish Fund Venture Capital invested 24 million yuan in Yinghaiwei", "Song Yang became Yinghaiwei" The third largest shareholder" post, scurried on the BBS forum.

The head of Pengcheng Station, Rebs, Ding Sanshi and others were all watching. This happened in front of them. It was the first time they saw a domestic Internet company, and they got venture capital, and it was 24 million yuan. !

This is definitely a huge shock for these people who are posting or peeking at the screen. For the sake of their salary now, they are already a lot higher than ordinary migrant workers, but this venture capital is also quite high. Because they don't eat or drink for hundreds of years to save it!

The huge profits of the Internet were revealed to them for the first time, and they really understood why the Internet practitioners on the other side of the ocean were so crazy about the Internet. This industry really has become rich overnight and completely changed their fate. Achieve financial freedom!

Regardless of the hype, and how the media reported it, the Internet fortune-making movement that took place on the other side of the ocean has always felt like a mirror image in China, and this time Ying Haiwei got a $3 million venture capital, so that the A kind of instant riches, from the news to reality in an instant!

The Star Wish Foundation invested 3 million dollars in Yinghaiwei, and obtained 15% of the equity of Yinghaiwei. In addition, Song Yang obtained 5% of the equity from Yinghaiwei with the agency rights of Hotmai mailbox in Greater China. , After this venture, Song Yang is equivalent to the third largest shareholder of Yinghaiwei, second only to Zhang Shuxin and his wife.

  Three million US dollars in venture capital in exchange for a 15% stake in Yinghaiwei, that is, in an instant, Yinghaiwei's valuation reached 20 million US dollars, equivalent to 160 million yuan.

   Just like the shock that Netscape brought to America when it went public, an Internet company that has only been established for more than a year has easily surpassed the 43-year-old General Dynamics!

That kind of shock is unimaginable for a traditional company in America. Similarly, when Yinghaiwei received a $3 million venture capital investment and its valuation exceeded 160 million yuan in one fell swoop, when the media reported this news. The impact on the country is also indescribable.

Not only on the BBS forum, but when the Central Media News Channel broadcast this news to thousands of households in China, the whole country saw the magic of the Internet for the first time, and for the first time knew that the thing on the Internet is really special. How can you make money!

  The major local newspapers are also scrambling to report on this matter. Even many media have little knowledge about the Internet, but they also know that the Internet industry may really become valuable.

   The three million dollars that Song Yang invested in Yinghaiwei may not know when it will pay off, or it may never pay off, but for the domestic Internet industry, it is like opening a new world!

   "Star Wish Fund Ventures Ying Haiwei, for the domestic Internet industry, is a commemorative day, and the domestic Internet wave will emerge from this!"

   "Computer News" reported this in the special issue of the day, thinking that this was the beginning of a domestic Internet wave.

  Compared to the regular reports on TV news and newspapers, the discussion on the BBS forum is much more heated.

On the BBS forum, which was originally bragging, the smell of lemon appeared for the first time, and the voices of admiration for Ying Haiwei and Zhang Shuxin began to appear. The previous discussion on Ying Haiwei, on the BBS forum, was still more technical, and there were also dissatisfaction with Ying Haiwei. The network cable is difficult to use, but most of them are discussed as peers, but after this day, I suddenly found that the couple are worth more than 50 million yuan, can you not be sour...

In addition to the discussion about Ying Haiwei, there are also discussions on the forum about whether "Lao Rong" has gone to Yanjing, whether Song Yang will meet "Lao Rong", and there are serious discussions with the stationmaster Ma of the Pengcheng BBS site, what? When I developed a domestic instant messaging product, I also got a few million dollars in venture capital.

Of course, these are mostly ridicule, and I dare to bet on the back road. After all, there are still a few people who really quit their iron jobs and enter the Internet. Now, those who play BBS forums are more or less computer-savvy, not like Leibu. Like Si and Ding Sanshi, those who earn generous salaries in their respective companies are working in some state-owned companies. If they can really give up everything, it is still much less.

After the ridicule, there were also posts asking whether the Star Wish Foundation would invest in other domestic technology companies, such as Rising, Kingsoft, Inspur, and a certain computer assembly factory. After all, the Star Wish Foundation can claim that high investment is required. technology company.

  Rebs, who was pouring water on the forum, was quite moved when he saw this post. Today, Jinshan is facing a painful period after the fiasco. If he can get in touch with Song Yang, it is impossible to change Jinshan's situation.

   But after this post, someone immediately refuted, "Song Yang is allies with Microsoft, will he support Jinshan?"

   Followed by a well-informed person BBS posted, "There are only eternal interests, no permanent allies, don't forget Song Yang and AOL backstabbed Netscape last year!"

Good guy, as the popularity of Song Yang's news in China has increased in the past two days, some people have also started to go to foreign websites to check Song Yang's "glorious days" in America. Naturally, a lot of things have been picked up, including the most famous ones. The backstab Netscape event!

As the news from the Silicon Valley spread further to China, the people on the BBS forums changed their views on Netscape in a straight line. Knowing who carried the banner of the rise of the global Internet wave, the favorability of Netscape is Soaring straight.

These technicians who are still in the traditional concept have quite a few opinions on joining Microsoft with Humoupi, backstabbing Netscape’s double-click, and AOL. In addition, a certain water madman is tirelessly posting about Microsoft’s evil deeds against Jinshan. On the BBS forum, there has also been a change in Song Yang's reputation.

Whether it's a BBS now or a forum in the future, as long as there is one crooked building, the entire post will be invalid. This time is no exception. It was originally a post discussing whether Song Yang would invest in companies such as Jinshan, and it instantly became a post. Whether Song Yang and Microsoft are allies, whether there will be a war between the two sides in the future, etc., this is just like the key political international situation that is essential every day. Discussing this kind of thing is more exciting than investing or not investing. more…

After    left Yinghaiwei, the huge motorcade, as well as a large group of reporters and media, rushed towards Boss Zhang's territory.

Sohu, which has not yet changed its name, got Aitexin. Now it has an office location. In Guanghua Chang'an Building, the conditions are much better than before. When he first came back to China, Zhang Chaoyang lived with others in Wanquan Manor, less than 24 years old. In the area of ​​​​square meters, Lao Zhang's food and lodging are in it, and the boiler room is next door.

Now that we have Chang'an Building, it's not much better. Aitexin now has only four people with Lao Zhang. It is also common to build a floor. Basically, it is instant noodles with MSG added, and cigarettes are supplied. The latter is a strategic material and cannot be lacking in wars. It is also a standard in the Internet industry now.

So Lao Zhang is also suffering. After so many years of suffering, just like Uncle Liu, he has fought for a lifetime, but he still can't enjoy it. It's not surprising. There are so many lace news, and there have been rumors about models, actresses and even foreign stars.

   When Song Yang and the others arrived, Lao Zhang and the three members of Aitexin were already waiting there.

"Mr. Song and Manager Zhang are welcome!" Zhang Chaoyang shook hands with Song Yang and Zhang Shuxin, and Zhang Chaoyang already knew about Song Yang's investment in Ying Haiwei. For Zhang Chaoyang, this time It's the same with expectations!

   Zhang Shuxin just nodded to Lao Zhang. Although it was his family name, Zhang Shuxin had met Zhang Chaoyang before, but he did not invest in him. The relationship between the two sides was actually not very good.

Sohu, which is still called Aitexin, really has nothing to see. The reporters who came along are a bit boring. There is no place to stay in a small office. The interest in reporting is to take a few photos at most, and then a large group of reporters went to the office corridor and began to discuss today's news.

   Zhang Shuxin and other Yinghaiwei executives also talked with Whitman, Iger and others, and coming here is basically a cut-off.

However, Boss Zhang doesn't care about this. He even let go of his identity as a top student at MIT. Where does he care? No matter whether the media, Ying Haiwei and other people pay attention to him or not, he is still introducing Song Yang. Old Zhang understands , this may be his most likely chance to get a big VC this year.

"At present, the daily number of visits to Aitexin has exceeded 500 people, and the main business of Aitexin is to cooperate with domestic media to Internetize all kinds of data and news, and put them on the Internet platform for Users in need around the world use…”

  Song Yang glanced at Lao Zhang, who didn't even blushed. He was probably the only one who could "steal" the news so righteously.
