Chapter 355 I, Ma Jack, make money(1/2)
Hearing the words "CICA", Lu Yiming immediately became energetic.
He was not sure who Ding Jian was. After all, he had never seen or heard of such a person anywhere in his previous life.
But he is so familiar with this AsiaInfo!
In 1993, Tian Shuoning, Ding Jian and other students studying in the United States founded the i company "AsiaInfo" in the United States.
In 1995, with the ideal of "serving the country with science and technology" in mind, Tian Shuoning and Ding Jian led the main body of the company to return to China, and AsiaInfo Technology (Xia Guo) Co., Ltd. was formally established. It was the first to introduce i to Xia Guo and made outstanding contributions to Xia Guo's informatization construction.
Contribution, enjoys the reputation of "Xia Guo Internet Architect".
Since 1997, that is, last year, AsiaInfo began to introduce venture capital, becoming the first high-tech enterprise in China to introduce venture capital.
This is also the reason why Ding Jian appears here tonight.
He wants to find a father who is willing to spend money on AsiaInfo.
Obviously, Lu Yiming is a very suitable target.
After all, except for Lu Yiming, no one would spend 10 million to buy a free software like Foxmail that has no profit at all.
All kinds of information about AsiaInfo went through Lu Yiming's mind. Seeing that the boss, whose products accounted for 70% of Xiaguo's information communication market share, was handing him his business card with a nod and a bow, Lu Yiming thought in his heart.
There is a wonderful feeling.
AsiaInfo is far less famous than other BAT companies, but in the industry, it is a well-deserved boss.
Before his rebirth, Lu Yiming only knew the company AsiaInfo, and it was impossible to get in touch with the inner circle.
But now, the founder of AsiaInfo stood in front of him, eagerly hoping that he would invest some money in AsiaInfo.
Suddenly he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: Tonight is not in vain.
When investing in a company like AsiaInfo, making money is secondary. The key is its influence on the Internet industry.
When you can control 70% of the voice in an industry, is making money still a problem?
At that time, you will even participate in the dominant rules to a certain extent, and then who makes money and who doesn’t make money, isn’t it up to you to decide?
Lu Yiming took the business card from Ding Jian's hand and said to Ding Jian: "Mr. Ding, let's find a place to chat?"
Ding Jian was very happy: "Okay, how about we go sit on the sofa over there?"
"OK."
Lu Yiming then turned around and said hello to Lin Shuyi: "You take your time and play, I'll go over there."
Lin Shuyi glanced at Ding Jian and thought he was unfamiliar, but didn't pay much attention to him. She smiled and teased Lu Yiming: "I told you, you will definitely gain something if you come tonight. Go ahead."
The two found a sofa to sit down, and each asked the waiter for a glass of wine. Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Mr. Ding, are you planning to attract venture capital?"
Ding Jian did not shy away from speaking out about the difficulties he is facing now: "Yes. Unfortunately, when I mentioned AsiaInfo's name, most people have never heard of it. I heard that we are engaged in the Internet.
I dislike it very much and refuse to invest.”
Lu Yiming was noncommittal about this kind of thing. He tilted his lips and started talking about business: "Actually, I also know about AsiaInfo."
"Oh? Really?"
Ding Jian was very surprised by Lu Yiming's words.
Ding Jian has always known that he is just a person who does things and does not say nice things. This is why AsiaInfo is very low-key. Now that Lu Yiming actually said that he had known AsiaInfo, Ding Jian was certainly surprised.
"yes."
Lu Yiming was a little excited and explained his views on the future to Ding Jian: "The Internet will form a huge emerging market, so I am very optimistic about the Internet. AsiaInfo has been doing the Internet for so many years, so of course I am paying attention."
Ding Jian heard that Lu Yiming was very optimistic about the Internet, and his eyes suddenly lit up, thinking that today's investment might be successful.
And although AsiaInfo is short of money, Ding Jian doesn't want any money. At least he doesn't look down on those mining bosses from the northwest.
Whether he is looking for partners or investors, Ding Jian tends to find people who share common goals.
AsiaInfo has now encountered a bottleneck in its development. It is true that the Internet represents the future. However, the vast majority of people in this world are very short-sighted. They lack foresight and can only see what is in front of them.
This is even more true for capital. Most of the wealthy people in China today started their fortunes by doing traditional businesses, and they are generally over fifty years old. They have neither understanding nor interest in new things.
If you talk to them about the Internet and high technology, you might as well talk to them about aliens. At least they know that aliens fly flying saucers.
Therefore, many Internet entrepreneurs in this era are angel investors with external capital, because no one in China invests in them.
I am afraid that this phenomenon will not improve until ten years later.
Lu Yiming thought about his words for a while before starting to talk to Ding Jian: "The changes brought by new things are inevitably underestimated from the beginning, but slowly, everyone will feel the huge changes it brings to society.
.One day, what we are doing will change the entire world."
"Mr. Lu's insights really impressed me."
It was rare to meet someone with whom he could communicate. Ding Jian had a lot of chats with Lu Yiming. As for the sale of shares, it was a matter of course.
Although it wasn't much, maybe only 5%, it was an admission ticket. Lu Yiming didn't expect to make money from AsiaInfo's stocks, so he happily accepted it.
After talking about business, Lu Yiming planned to talk about something interesting. Lu Yiming asked again: "Mr. Ding, are you the number one person on the Internet in Xia State?"
In 1994, there were almost no people in Xia who knew the Internet, and only academics had some knowledge about the Internet.
After that, the Network Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences invited Ding Jian to return to China as a technical consultant to guide the construction. It was also from that time that Xia State began to develop the Internet.
Ding Jianqian was very hypocritical: "Am I the first person on the Internet in Xia State? To be the first person, Mr. Wu Weimin, who is also the leader of the aleph group of the Institute of High Energy Physics, deserves his name. It was he who sent the first international email.
, announcing that Xia Guo has officially joined the Internet family. That was all 1986."
Along with Ding Jian's narration, Lu Yiming had an intuitive understanding of the history of that period.
Every middle school student has probably learned a brief history of computers, knowing that the computer in 1946 was as big as a house, but the actual development of the Internet, especially the origin of the Internet in Xia State, was only achieved by the first generation of the country like Ding Jian.
Only people on the Internet can explain it clearly.
"When AsiaInfo was first established, it wanted to provide each other with economic information through the Internet with the United States. However, at that time, the United States was worried about Xia Guo's opening of the Internet, and Xia Guo was also particularly worried about security issues. It was really a straw and a wolf."
Ding Jian was laughing when he said this, but Lu Yiming knew that what the two countries were worried about had finally become a reality, but this topic could not be discussed in depth. After all, he was a businessman, and there were some things that he could not do.
Touched.
Lu Yiming sighed: "Fear comes from the unknown. People don't understand the Internet, so they are afraid. As time goes by, everyone understands the Internet, even uses the Internet, and develops the Internet. In the future, there will be no question of whether to be afraid or not.
On the contrary, I think Xia State’s opening up to the Internet will exceed everyone’s imagination, and online media may even surpass print media in the future.”
Ding Jian showed an expression of disbelief: "Why is Mr. Lu so confident in the Internet? I am not completely sure now. How can the Internet surpass print media?"
Lu Yiming's eyes were firm: "Of course, the Internet will be another parallel world in the future. Most of the things people have in the real world can be obtained on the Internet. For example, if you go to the mall to buy something now, you may not be able to use it in the future.
You can buy things on the Internet with the click of a mouse."
At this moment, two people came over.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiming and Ding Jian both turned their heads to look.
The looks of these two people were so distinctive that Lu Yiming recognized them immediately.
"Wu Ying?"
"Majek?"
Good guys, all these old men are here today.
PHS, that is the memory of a generation.
Let’s not talk about Majek, the man who changed the Internet ecology of Xia Country.
However, what makes Lu Yiming curious is why these two people appeared in Baiyun City?
Shouldn't Majek be in Hangzhou now?
Lu Yiming took the business cards from Jack Ma and Wu Ying, pointed to the seat opposite, and said with a smile: "Have a seat. Let me introduce you, this is Ding Jian from AsiaInfo, Mr. Ding. The number one Internet person in the mainland."
Majek quickly sent a business card to Ding Jian.
"Nice to meet you."
Wu Ying and Ding Jian have known each other for a long time. After all, one makes customized machines for operators and the other makes networks for operators. They are considered collaborators.
"Old Ding is here too. What are you talking about with Mr. Lu?"
Ding Jian smiled and said: "Old Wu is here. I am talking to Mr. Lu about the future of the Internet in mainland China. Mr. Lu told me that he is very optimistic about the Internet and says that the Internet has great potential."
When Ma Jieke faced Lu Yiming, he was not timid at all, and immediately said: "Xia Country now has a population of 1.2 billion, which is an extremely huge market. Once the Internet is completely popularized, the prospects are unlimited, and there is no country in the world."
Comparable to us."
Lu Yiming complained in his heart, he is indeed a man who conquers the world with one mouth, just this mouth.
He teased: "The whole world? Including the United States?"
Majek was suddenly speechless.
He just followed Ding Jian's words and flattered him. How could he have thought that Lu Yiming would break the casserole and ask the truth?
With the current national strength, if the Xia Kingdom were to compare with the United States, it would really be unable to catch up.
Don't look at it. In the future, Xia will have the most Internet users in the world, but you can't help but think that Internet users in the United States are rich. The purchasing power of the two is not at the same level. This is also reflected in the stock price. The Internet giants in the United States
