At the airport.
When they arrived, there were still more than forty minutes before the flight took off. Ding Sanshi and Zhou Zhuolin immediately checked their tickets and boarded the plane.
After a series of procedures, they sat on the plane. There was still some time before the plane took off, so the two of them did not rest immediately. After all, the plane would make a lot of noise when it took off, and they would definitely wake up.
"Old Zhou, what do you think of Boss Zhang?”
Since he had nothing to do, Ding Sanshi found a topic to talk about.
"How is he? Although you introduced Boss Zhang to me before I came, I realized that you didn't praise him too much after I met him.”
Zhou Zhuolin replied,
"You're even being a little conservative. To be honest, I see a trait in Boss Zhang. It's a trait that only the older generation of entrepreneurs have!”
Zhou Zhuolin did not quite understand what he was saying, but Ding Sanshi understood.
Ten years ago, there were almost no entrepreneurs in the country. It was only in this decade that the craze for going into the sea rose. The current entrepreneurs were not much different from the first batch of entrepreneurs in the country.
It was not a long time, but among the first batch of entrepreneurs, there were indeed some outstanding people.
In Ding Sanshi's opinion, this group of people was not only considered as pure entrepreneurs, but also a group of people in state-owned enterprises. For example, Li Jingwei, who founded Jianlibao and developed it into the country's highest-selling beverage brand, was also included.
Ding Sanshi agreed with Zhou Zhuolin's assessment.
Many of the characteristics of the older generation of entrepreneurs could be seen in Zhang Mu.
Unconstrained business thinking, thrifty and simple personal qualities, bold career ideas!
The membership model, the Santana, and the intention to enter the international market, Zhang Mu's actions were completely worthy of these evaluations!
"Mm. Old Zhou, you should know about the current situation of our Internet Concept. Don't you think we should be looking for investors now?”
Ding Sanshi finally revealed his purpose and explained,"
"As you know, our venture capital is only 500,000 yuan. We've spent almost all of it in the past three months. Although we've made some money from Boss Zhang this time and there's no problem buying the server, if we want to open up new business, this few hundred thousand yuan is still a drop in the bucket.”
"Attract investments? Do you mean to look for Boss Zhang to attract investors?”
Zhou Zhuolin finally understood why Ding Sanshi did not bring the technical staff from the Internet but insisted on dragging him along. It was all to upgrade the cash register system of Red Flag Supermarket.
Initially, he thought that since the two of them were going to Shen City, they would make a trip to Shanghai along the way. This would save them the trouble of having to meet up when they reached Shen City.
Judging from the current situation, Ding Sanshi's ultimate goal in calling him over was to get to know Zhang Mu, or rather, to 'observe' him.
With Zhang Mu alone, Wang Yi had earned more than 400,000 yuan. After deducting some of the expenses and adding the funds in the original company account, it had already earned 500,000 yuan.
If he only continued to give users 20 mb of personal space each, this money would be enough to support tens of thousands of users.
But recently, they wanted to open up a new business and create an email. Moreover, it was a free email. Therefore, they needed a lot of money, at least a few million!
Even though Wang Yi had a lot of funds now, it was not even enough to invest in the free email business!
They did not know when they would be able to earn a few million yuan just by taking on jobs like this. By then, it would probably be too late, so it was necessary to attract investment.
"That's right. That's our situation. We know a lot of bosses, and many of them are rich. However, there aren't many people who value the Internet or are willing to invest in it.”
Ding Sanshi nodded and said,
"Excluding the cost of the server, the other party is asking for 800,000 USD for the email system alone. Let alone now, we won't be able to fork out that much money within a year!”
"It seems easy to earn hundreds of thousands of yuan, but how many times can we encounter a deal like Boss Zhang's? Who knows when the next time he would have such a big business!”
"Right now, the domestic Internet is still in the initial stage of development. If we don't hurry up, once other companies make free emails in advance, they will instantly snatch away more than half of our users.”
It wasn't easy to create a free email address. One had to purchase the relevant permission in the United States.
It was just like how major mobile phone manufacturers could make their own systems in the later stages, but as long as the system was optimized based on the Android system, they had to pay a portion of the money to Google.
The same was true for email. The US Internet started early and had more modern technology and patents. If Wang Yi wanted to make a free email, he would have to spend 800,000 US dollars to buy the rights from abroad.
Therefore, Ding Sanshi, who had wanted to make an email when the company was first established, had not taken any action. Instead, he had launched a free 'personal space' that did not require any technical content. All he needed to do was to buy a server.
Knowing Zhang Mu gave Ding Sanshi an idea. The last time he met Zhang Mu, he had already thought of getting Zhang Mu to invest in Wang Yi.
However, since Zhou Zhuolin was also a shareholder, this matter had to be discussed with him. This time, he had specially brought Zhou Zhuolin along to discuss this matter.
Just as he had expected, Zhou Zhuolin had a good impression of Zhang Mu. He believed that after he told Zhou Zhuolin about the pros and cons, Zhou Zhuolin would also agree to pull Zhang Mu into investing.
"Okay, if it's Boss Zhang, then there's definitely no problem. I can feel that although Boss Zhang doesn't understand the Internet, he's very optimistic about it.”
As expected, just as Ding Sanshi finished speaking, Zhou Zhuolin nodded and replied,"
"Actually, Old Ding, you don't have to discuss this with me. You can make the decision yourself. After all, I'm only responsible for technical issues. When you buy the email system back, that's when I should make a move!”
"As for the investment, do as you see fit. I have no objections!”
Actually, Zhou Zhuolin did not mention something else. The 500,000 yuan that was used to establish Wang Yi was all taken out by Ding Sanshi. He even borrowed a lot of money for it. Although he had 30% of the shares, he did invest with his technology.
Ding Sanshi was enough for the financing. He was responsible for the technical issues and enjoyed the dividends from the technology investment. There was no need to worry too much.
"Alright, I'm relieved to hear that. After we're done with the work in Shen Cheng, I'll come over and talk to Boss Zhang about this!”
