In fact, what will be Jingdong's sales next year, that is, in 2008?

1.3 billion!

And this is the data produced by their entire team after the 10 million US dollars given by previous investors were spent and there was no way to continue.

At the beginning of 2008, Lao Liu wanted to raise US$200 million and found an internationally renowned fund.

But because of the financial crisis, the negotiated $200 million suddenly disappeared.

In order to keep the company alive, Lao Liu lowered the price several times, to 150 million, 100 million, 80 million, and 65 million.

In the end, the price was reduced to 45 million!

Lao Liu was very depressed and didn't want it. He went to his previous investors and the investment queen told him that everyone was having a hard time and it was time to give up.

So Lao Liu agreed.

But at the end of the day, Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, and the world was in chaos. The fund directly cut off one-third of the 45 million, turning it into 30 million!

Lao Liu couldn't bear such a humiliation and flatly refused. After that, he struggled to his death.

It wasn't until a few months later, at the end of next year or the beginning of the next year, that the queen who had led the investment in Jingdong's A round stepped in again and helped Lao Liu get 21 million US dollars in life-saving money.

It was these 21 million that gave Jingdong, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, the final breath of life and brought it back to life and out of control.

Now the time comes again, if Lao Liu doesn’t need to travel around to attract investment,...

Okay, I still want it,

How can you know the kindness of Honggu Capital if you don’t let Lao Liu hit the wall a few times?

Chen Yang is not a greedy capital tycoon, but he is not a philanthropist either. He gives benefits to people for no reason, and people may take them for granted.

It's better to wait until he hits the nail on the head and knows how good Honggu Capital is, and it won't be too late to arrange another wave.

Even in the future, Chen Yang will prepare the funds needed to expand logistics in advance. It will be much more than what Lao Liu requires. The valuation will be as high as it should be, and it will not be short of him. Otherwise, Jingdong's large logistics will be

Can't get up,

But that's for the future.

Just next year, Jingdong, which has been struggling for more than half a year, will achieve sales of 1.3 billion. If we can give them a blood transfusion of 50 million US dollars, how much can they achieve?

So now when faced with Xiaoma's problem, Chen Yang only gave an estimate of 1.5 billion, which is already an act of caution.

Regarding this number, both Xiao Ma and Lao Zhang and Lao Li were a little excited.

If we want to say who among these three people is most interested in e-commerce and who knows the most about e-commerce, it is definitely Xiaoma.

Perhaps Goose Factory is the Internet giant that is most dedicated to e-commerce platforms besides Ari and Jingdong. Even Netyi Sanshi, who has started many internal businesses, is inferior to him.

The other two are not bad either. Not to mention they know something about e-commerce itself. No matter how ignorant they are, what does it mean for an e-commerce platform to have sales increase more than four times every year for two consecutive years? They are better than anyone else on this planet.

Most people need to know this.

But knowing doesn’t mean being anxious. You can’t eat hot tofu if you’re anxious!

As Chen Yang finished speaking, Zhang, Li and Ma all fell silent, silently picking out the last bit of food in the bowl and swallowing it.

Chen Yang was not in a hurry. If it weren't for the fact that Jingdong would need certain resources when it went public in the future, and the sponsors behind their three major factories could contribute, he wouldn't be bothered to talk such nonsense.

With the little money Jingdong needs, he can make it happen all by himself.

Anyway, the bait has been thrown out. When the fish take the bait, it depends on whether they recognize the bait or not.

After finishing the meal, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

The four of them came out of the noisy restaurant, rubbed their numb ears, and couldn't help but look back.

Good guy, it's too noisy here. The people at the same table have to speak a little louder, and the people at the next table can't hear them at all. It's a perfect place for agents to meet. They have been talking about big business here for a long time, and they can't even talk.

No one bothered me,

Simply lost.

Lao Zhang put on the hat on the back of his down jacket, looked around, let out a sigh of relief, and said loudly, "Lao Chen, where do you plan to locate this big data company? Is it in Guangzhou?"

Administrative management is the responsibility of Damai. This administration does not refer to administration in a narrow sense, but the logistics of the entire company. It is almost the same as the scope of Future Business Space services, and company location selection is naturally included in it.

Chen Yang put his hands into his sleeves, and like an uncle from the Northeast, he stooped and stamped his feet, and said with a stiff face, "Originally, I wanted to land directly in Guangzhou. It just so happened that during this period, Chuangfuture and the city government

We collaborated on an old factory revitalization project, and it was convenient to leave it alone.

But haven’t you separated the browser and big data business? I just want to put the big data in Guizhou to save some money."

"Guizhou?"

The three people spoke almost at the same time, and then immediately surrounded him,

Lao Zhang bumped his shoulder, "Why do you want to go there?"

Go there to see the mountains and water?

Lao Li nodded quickly, "I need to transfer more than a hundred engineers here. If you go to Guizhou, at least half of my more than 100 people will have to go."

Oh my god, other people are running from the west to the east, but this guy actually wants to go from Guangzhou to Guizhou. What do you think?

Xiao Ma also nodded repeatedly, "Isn't it just a little electricity bill? It can save a lot of money. I also need to transfer more than a hundred people. It's a mountainous place. No one really wants to go!"

Not only Qiandu and Goose Factory, but also Souhu have to transfer the same number of engineers. Only Damai and Jingdong do not have this requirement, but Professor Huang will arrange a team of people to help.

To put it bluntly, it is stealing from others. How can the core technology be completely faked by others?

Chen Yang was not in a hurry. He rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "The electricity bill for industrial and commercial businesses over there is more than 40 cents per kilowatt hour. The highest price in Guangzhou is more than 10 cents per kilowatt hour. How do you choose?"

The three people's eyes suddenly widened, "Why is it so cheap?"

Internet companies are large consumers of electricity, especially these large factories, and the power consumption of computer rooms is not a small number. When they heard the news, they were immediately shocked.

If this were based on Guizhou's prices, they would save a lot of money on electricity bills alone in a year.

Chen Yang shrugged and said with a smile, "There are cheaper ones. Qinghai costs more than 30 cents, and Yunnan costs more than 40 cents. If you don't like Guizhou, why don't you go to Yunnan or Qinghai?"

The expressions of the three of them immediately fell. There was nothing they could do to talk today.

Is there any difference between Yunnan, Qinghai and Guizhou?

Seeing the three people in a dilemma as they wanted to go but didn't want to go, Chen Yang couldn't help laughing.

Lao Zhang rolled his eyes and exhaled a long breath angrily, "You kid won't be happy if you don't play tricks on others, right? Tell me, what do you think?"

"Oh, I really didn't think much about it,"

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Of course I know it's difficult to retain people in the west, so from the beginning, I excluded these three places."

If it is more than ten years later, after the enrollment expansion, those workers who cannot stay in the big cities have to return to their hometowns, even in the west, we can build a team of Internet companies with complete departments.

But before the flooding, big cities were not so unfriendly, and their attractiveness to talents was almost unprecedented. Naturally, this western region could not attract talents. If you really want to locate your company there, you will probably have to move soon.

, Chen Yang definitely cannot make this kind of mistake.

Facing three sad looks, Chen Yang said with a smile, "To be honest, this supercomputer does consume too much electricity. Add in other expenses, the operating expenses are really not a small amount.

So, my idea is to find a place that is not so remote and can be accepted by everyone, where the water and electricity bills are cheap, and the policies are good, which will be good for the company."

Xiao Ma didn't say anything after hearing this, and just asked, "Then where do you want to put it?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "The central region, Dongjiang City, Jiangbei Province, has convenient transportation and convenient life. It is also an ancient historical and cultural city. How about it? It's okay?!"

Lao Zhang frowned slightly and looked at him suspiciously, "If I remember correctly, you seem to be from Dongjiang, right?"
