Chapter 151: Anger, if you don’t trust me, I will issue a military order! (Subscribe)
Peter is a professional investor, with IDG as his backer. What excellent projects has he not seen? But this time, Peter firmly judged that he is becoming one of the important nodes in the development of world science and technology.
First of all, the algorithm of Jiyue Browser is very advanced, and there is no competitor of similar level. Even UC's algorithm seems as backward as a primitive man in front of it.
Advanced technology means that the flagship product is strong enough to penetrate the entire market.
Secondly, the equity structure of Jiyue Company is very simple. It is a company funded by Lu Shan alone, so if there is anything, you can just talk to him directly.
Either you pay to buy out the company, or you take over a portion of the shares and make money by riding the wave. It all depends on how the negotiation goes.
The last reason for investing is that Pete saw unlimited possibilities through the algorithm and operating model of Jiyue Browser.
Jiyue Browser determines user preferences based on user usage habits and then pushes content accurately, thus maximizing marketing capabilities.
Just imagine, pushing shopping information to people who like shopping, and pushing games to people who like games, without having to wait for potential users to see your products by luck. What a cutting-edge approach this is.
Jiyue Browser has become a pioneer of this model, and will surely trigger crazy imitations in the future, but it is not easy to copy. UC just didn't understand it, and what they produced is really an ugly imitation, which is laughable.
Based on this, it can be inferred that Jiyue Browser can at least steadily reap the early dividends, and continue to invest in the later stages depending on the situation.
Pete quickly wrote a report with the above reasons and sent it to the IDG headquarters in the United States overnight. He also made a long-distance call to communicate, determined to make the US headquarters pay attention to this matter.
The senior executives at IDG headquarters in the United States were getting annoyed at the moment. The UC issue had been going on for so long but had no result, which was not in line with the industry practice of investment.
Either invest or leave, what's the point of being stuck here now?
As soon as Pete's report was delivered, the senior management read it immediately and were a little confused for a while.
"Didn't they say they were going to invest in UC? Why did they suddenly turn around and invest in Jiyue? And they're going to give 500 million dollars for the first investment?"
"There was a problem at UC. It was said to be due to the influence of Jiyue, but there was no exact report on the extent of the impact."
"UC is still the browser with the largest market share in Xiaguo. Isn't this too risky? Jiyue Browser is not even on the download rankings of portal websites, and there is no download function on many portal websites."
"Investing in Jiyue and giving up UC means that all the tens of millions of dollars we invested previously will go down the drain! Just based on this, all the management of Xiaguo District will have to be fired! Now they are planning to invest so much money in a competing company all at once."
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Investment companies are not monolithic. Competition for important positions is fierce. Competitors always want to find weaknesses in the incumbent and replace them with their own people.
Across the ocean, it was impossible to get a full picture of many things through searching and reporting alone, so a meeting was immediately held on both sides of the ocean to see what Pete had to say.
After sending the report to the United States, Pete did not rest at all. Instead, he mobilized all the employees in IDG Xiaguo District to collect information and provide sufficient evidence for his investment strategy.
As soon as the meeting started, the atmosphere became lively.
"Mr. Peter, how do you do things? You hesitated for so long on a project, you should have made up your mind long ago. I didn't expect you to hesitate again and again and still decide to give up the original investment! Millions of dollars have gone down the drain, you have to bear this responsibility!"
A senior American official came up and put pressure on Pete, with the aim of making him feel psychologically burdened. No matter how this matter turns out, the money he made previously is definitely gone, and if he fails to invest again, there will be a bigger hole that no one can clean up.
Peter was also a shrewd man. After so many years in the industry, how could he not see the intentions of the top management? He decided to take control of the rhythm in his own hands.
"Gentlemen, I still stick to my judgment and switch to Jiyue Company! Because only by doing so can I recover the money I invested in UC and make more money!"
"As for UC, we will give it a beautiful package and let it be resold. Take a look at my reasons first!"
Pete’s no-nonsense, new report is full of substance, and Pete explains why in just a minute.
"Jiyue is very promising, and its actions are so fast that we can't imagine it! It has already taken over Huawei, and through Huawei, many mobile phones sold by communication operators can be pre-installed with Jiyue browser. Just think about how great the prospects are!"
The top management are all knowledgeable and fully understand the significance of this statement, but the opponents obviously do not intend to let Pete have such an easy time. Even if they want to implement it, they have to send their own people.
"So what about Huawei? You are talking about the future. Your report also said that the download end of the Internet portal has not been solved yet."
"Don't you know that helping UC to kill Ji Yue and watching the project we invested in die at the hands of our competitors, you are really incompetent!"
At the . headquarters, many people burst into laughter.
The corners of Pete's mouth twitched. He was really good at putting things on people's shoulders. After hearing what he said, he seemed like an idiot who watched UC being defeated by Ji Yue deliberately and did nothing. Even if his investment in Ji Yue was successful later, he still had a stain.
"Things are not what you think." Pete then went on to tell all of UC's recent developments, even including the attack on the Jelly Browser. These contents could not be put into a report and could only be narrated orally.
Unexpectedly, the opponents found a sore spot.
"A company with two or three employees has been attacked by an unknown party for several days and cannot recover. You still want to invest 5 million in such a company? Are you crazy?"
Many senior executives also began to think about it.
Pete remained firm: "The protection of Internet companies is not achieved overnight. It takes time to build a security team. But I don't think that's the point. The point is the product itself and the market prospects. I don't think Jiyue can't handle the security issue, after all, Huawei has cooperated with it."
"And Jiyue has successfully handled the security issue!"
Peter didn't want to waste too much time. Although the meeting had only lasted half an hour, this era was full of uncertainties. If he didn't invest, other investors might take action. So Peter planned to end the argument: "I need 5 million US dollars to invest in Jiyue Company! I hope you can see the prospects of this epoch-making product! If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!"
“What if the investment fails?”
"My entire team has resigned! Let others come to the Xiaguo headquarters." Pete said with great determination.
"What?" Not only the opponents, but even the top executives who supported Pete were shocked. This was too big a game.
Without waiting for other opinions to come out, the opposing senior executives immediately agreed: "You said it! It's a deal!"
"Five million, it's just the funds for your project! Headquarters won't give you any support!"
After the meeting, the Xiaguo District team looked hopeless. The boss was at odds with the higher-ups, so why did he get himself involved?
Peter smiled at this time: "Now, for the sake of your own jobs, please do everything you can to convince Jiyue Company to accept our investment..."
Then they began to arrange the work with sharp eyes. They had no way out.
Jiangzhou University is particularly lively at this time because the final exam results will be announced at noon.
Gao Chuan, Wang Yu and others got up early and sat in front of the computer, waiting for the moment when the results would be released. The same situation occurred in other dormitories.
Lu Shan, however, went at his own pace and went about his own business after breakfast.
"Look at Lu Shan, the only true God! He's not panicked at all." Gao Chuan was extremely envious. While his group of people were waiting for the results pitifully, Lu Shan simply didn't take it seriously.
Quan Hai was upset: "Why are you pretending? He hasn't even read the book, so I don't believe he's not nervous."
Someone in the dormitory building shouted, "The results are out!" Then there was a burst of ghostly howling. Gao Chuan and the others felt nervous and tremblingly entered their student ID information.
"62, 65,...71! Hey hey hey! I passed! I passed!" Gao Chuan roared even louder, like a madman.
The other roommates didn't pay any attention to him and were busy checking their grades.
"I passed all the exams, too! I passed!"
"Me too! No, we have to kowtow to Lu Shan when he comes back!"
"No! I'm going to kowtow to him right now!"
Everyone understood that without Lu Shan's guidance, they would all be doomed.
At this time, the quiet Quan Hai caught Huang Chuan's attention, and Huang Chuan stretched his two-meter-long neck towards his computer.
Quan Hai was in a state of dismay. Before he could close his computer, his grades were shown to him. He had failed seven out of a total of nine subjects.
"Fuck! You failed seven subjects!" Huang Chuan's voice was very loud, and everyone quickly came over and started talking at once.
"That's impossible. Lu Shan has taught us before. I only half understood what he said and passed it."
"is this real?"
At this time, Quan Hai had already closed his computer, looking embarrassed.
Huang Chuan was unhappy: "Let's go! They must have given us a wrong grade. Let's go and ask the teacher for the test paper! They have basically covered all the content that Lu Shan mentioned. How could they have failed so many exams?"
"No, no, no!" Quan Hai didn't want to lose this person, so he quickly refused.
Quan Hai was also embarrassed. He was the class monitor and an executive of the student union. He was so busy this semester that he had little time to focus on his studies.
I thought I could pass the test by making some cheat sheets and cramming before the exam.
Little did I know that cheat sheets were useless. It was hard to find the answers amid the densely packed words, not to mention there was an invigilator.
They thought they saw Lu Shandi's ideas and could copy some questions, but they didn't know that you would make mistakes and copied all the wrong answers.
The squad leader has seven subjects.
He may not be able to be the class monitor next semester.
At this time, Lu Shan had finished his work and returned to the dormitory. A group of people surrounded him and asked about his grades.
Just when Lu Shan turned on his computer to check his grades, the counselor in the group sent a message.
Counselor: @Lushan.
