Chapter 493 It’s not five million~ it’s half a million!

“This time we engage in e-commerce”

"Are you five going to do it together?"

After a seafood dinner, Chen Li entertained Brother Ma at his home after hearing about the future development of e-commerce.

Chen Li did not ask Xiao Ma how he planned to develop and develop. He went straight to the point and focused the topic on the core.

"If you still have financial problems this time, please remember to come to me."

"Leng Yurou~ Let me tell you, the last time you gave me a favor, this one must be returned to me."

Chen Li's tone was very serious, so serious that he even called out Brother Ma's nickname.

When OICQ was at its most difficult, Ma Xiaoteng tried to retain OICQ users by logging in to girls dressed in small sizes.

However, after the two met offline from the Internet, Ma Xiaoteng threatened to get Chen Li drunk several times at the wine table, trying to make Chen Li forget this scene.

But there are some things, as long as you do them, you can't really disappear from the world.

In fact, after Brother Ma became famous in his previous life, he would occasionally bring this matter up to make fun of himself.

But at that time, he had already become a big boss in the business circle, so he took the initiative to talk about such things, which naturally gave people a different feeling.

To put it bluntly, there is an old saying that goes like this:

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!

When Ma Xiaoteng became famous, this kind of thing was naturally considered an anecdote.

But if he fails, and the person who brought up the matter is Chen Li, the person involved.

So Ma Xiaoteng was embarrassed and even a little angry!

"Fuck~ How many times have you threatened me with this?"

"From the beginning, you threatened me with OICQ's serial number, and now you are threatening me with this thing to invest."

"Do you know that what you are doing is illegal?"

At first, Ma Xiaoteng was indeed a little angry because he was "exposed" by Chen Li, especially Liu Qingqing, who was sitting not far away and was watching TV.

But as he spoke, Ma Xiaoteng suddenly became happy.

Because he had already felt it. Ever since Chen Li threatened him with this matter again, the matter of him selling Tengxun in a hurry without notifying Chen Li had been exposed.

This time when Brother Ma came to Yanjing, apart from his original intention to learn from Ma Xiaoyun, his biggest purpose was actually to explain this matter to Chen Li.

Many people say that shopping malls are like battlefields, but there are comrades on the battlefield, but it is difficult to make real friends in the shopping malls.

Of course, this does not mean that the relationship between Xiao Ma and Chen Li has really developed to the stage of "real friends".

But ~ from now on, the relationship between the two is indeed good.

From the beginning of their friendship on the Internet, to later Chen Li and Ma Xiaoteng getting to know each other in real life, the two could be considered to have forged a friendship.

And the most important point is that for Ma Xiaoteng, although Chen Li is a few years younger than him, it is Chen Li who actually helps him more between the two.

Not only did Chen Li help him with Tengxun's operations, but when he came to Yanjing to seek investment, Chen Li also tried his best to help him.

In addition, the reason why Ma Xiaoteng was able to successfully sell Tengxun this time was actually thanks to Chen Li.

If Chen Li hadn't introduced him, then he would never have had the chance to meet Ma Xiaoyun.

If Chen Li hadn't happened to be optimistic about Tengxun, Ma Xiaoyun wouldn't have dared to offer a high price of three million after just listening briefly.

And without Ma Xiaoyun's offer, Ma Xiaoteng might have lost Tengxun.

Regardless of how much older he is than Chen Li, logically he should have more social experience than Chen Li, but in fact, during Ma Xiaoteng's friendship with Chen Li, Chen Li has always been taking care of him.

Therefore, both in public and private matters, Ma Xiaoteng felt that he should be grateful to Chen Li.

He had indeed handled this matter very unfairly before, so he always felt guilty.

Now that this matter has been revealed, Ma Xiaoteng feels that he has become more enlightened. He thought about it for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Li and shook his head.

"This time~ there are only four of us."

"Lao Zhang chose to stay in Tengxun and will not be with us this time."

There was a hint of unexplainable emotion in Brother Ma's words, but this is completely understandable.

After all, it was him and Lao Zhang who formed the skeleton of Tengxun in the earliest days, and the other Lao Xu ~ Lao Chen ~ Lao Zeng all joined later.

Lao Zhang himself is regarded as the person with the best computer technology among the Five Tencent Tigers, and he is also the technical cornerstone of Tencent and OICQ.

Chen Li in his previous life did not understand it, but Chen Li today is very clear.

Later people always said that Brother Ma was the helmsman of Tengxun, which was true, but in fact when Tengxun was struggling in the early days, the real core of Tengxun was actually Lao Zhang.

It can be said that without Lao Zhang, there would never have been the Tengxun Group with a market value of trillions in the previous life.

Because without this man known as "the man behind Xiao Ma", it is estimated that Tengxun would not have been able to hold on to the moment of dawn.

When Tengxun encountered difficulties in the early days, it was Lao Zhang who relied on his excellent skills to continuously attract outside orders.

Yes~ In the early stages of Tengxun’s development, Tengxun experienced financial pressure due to the excessive growth rate of OICQ.

But just when Tencent was already in trouble, the number of its OICQ users was still growing, which meant that Tencent needed to continue to increase the number of servers.

Servers can be added, which means more funds are needed.

This seems to be an endless loop!

To be honest~ At that time, several other partners, including Xiao Ma, thought about giving up, even Lao Zhang thought about it.

However, rather than giving up, Lao Zhang is more unwilling to let OICQ, which he and his team worked so hard to create, die.

Yes~ That’s right, OICQ is indeed a copy of foreign ICQ, but in fact OICQ is not equal to ICQ.

Even though he borrowed a lot from it, in Lao Zhang's view, OICQ is still like the life he created.

So ~ while others were falling into a stage of self-destruction, Lao Zhang kept looking for opportunities to earn extra money outside, and then used the extra money earned to fill Tengxun's growing hole.

Later, maybe Xiao Ma and others figured it out, or maybe the other partners were inspired by Lao Zhang. Anyway, everyone joined in, and everyone made extra money together to fill the hole.

Hence the emergence of the Internet overlord with a market value of trillions in the past life and later.

There seems to be nothing wrong with Lao Zhang being called the father of QQ in his previous life.

So looking at it this way, Chen Li didn't find it strange at all that Lao Zhang had made such a choice.

And to be honest, in Chen Li's opinion, Lao Zhang's decision might actually be the wisest choice.

Because ~ although the prospects of e-commerce are very good, to be honest ~ if the person engaged in e-commerce is called Ma Xiaoyun or Liu Dong, then Chen Li will definitely feel that Lao Zhang's decision is not worth it.

But when this person was Brother Xiao Ma, Chen Li felt that no one would be better than the other in the future!

Of course, Chen Li does not doubt that Xiao Ma will achieve some results in e-commerce. After all, he got involved in e-commerce in 1999. As long as Xiao Ma can persist in the end.

He doesn't need to persist for long~ As long as he can persist through the coming Internet winter, Chen Li has reason to believe that the other party will definitely achieve very good results.

But when it comes to grades, you have to see who you compare with.

Compared with ordinary entrepreneurs~ and compared with those e-commerce giants in Chen Li's memory, the meanings of the two are different.

But Tencent, one of the five Tencent Tigers, was gone. Chen Li naturally decided to settle for the next best thing and try to invest in the e-commerce of the Four Tencent Tigers?

"So, I can replace Lao Zhang's share, right?"

When Chen Li heard what Xiao Ma said, besides lamenting that Lao Zhang and the others parted ways, he also naturally understood another meaning of Xiao Ma's words.

"I can't say I'm replacing it~!"

"It's just that we did make arrangements according to the plan of the five people at the beginning."

"Now that Lao Zhang has quit, we can actually start with four people."

"But if you want to come in, I'll definitely have no objection to it."

"But I still need to discuss this matter with other people."

"I guess the problem is not big. Although neither Lao Xu nor Lao Chen have met you, you have chatted online."

"As for Lao Zeng, he appreciates you very much and even admires you a little."

"I think if it were you, Old Zeng would probably agree with it with both hands."

The Lao Zeng that Brother Ma mentioned was the one who came to Yanjing with him last time to seek funds.

In terms of appearance alone, that person seems to be more like a corporate leader than Xiao Ma.

Some people are like this. Just from their appearance, they are very consistent with the performance of certain professions.

For example, as the saying goes, "If you have a big head and a thick neck, you are either a rich man or a poor man."

Although this sentence is definitely biased, in reality, some people with rich bodies are indeed more likely to be considered by others to have better economic conditions.

It's actually very simple~ Everyone thinks that if the economic conditions are not good, then people will definitely not be able to grow so rich.

In addition, in the early days, many wealthy people or business owners had the appearance of being potbellied.

The consequence of this is that, purely from appearance, Old Zeng looks more like a boss than Brother Ma.
