Zhang Xiaolong left his apartment in the morning and, after arriving at the company, first reported his progress to Jiang Yizhou before opening his computer to handle emails.
Then he discovered an email from Ma Huateng. After reading it, he found it quite amusing; Ma Huateng was bold and indirect in his inquiry.
Jiang Yizhou had already discussed the recruitment of Ma Huateng with him and asked for his opinion. Zhang Xiaolong had a good impression of Ma Ge; although he tended to ramble on professional issues, he was serious and responsible.
Overall, things were looking positive. As a result, BSS became increasingly satisfied and directly decided to write an invitation letter for Ma Ge to join the company in front of him.
Now you come asking me? Zhang Xiaolong felt it was a bit awkward, but he still wrote some constructive suggestions for Ma Ge, mainly pointing out BSS's unconventional personality and their trust in subordinates. If given independence, Ma Ge could really shine.
After sending it, he sought out Jiang Yizhou, who was guiding the space project team, to clarify the situation.
"What? He came to you again?" Jiang Yizhou was momentarily taken aback before laughing. "It's fine; just tell him the truth. It's an honor for me that he came here, and it's also an opportunity for him. Let's see how he chooses!"
Initially, Jiang Yizhou had worried about becoming the next IQ and turning into Wang Qianju's failure. However, after experiencing so much, he had learned a lot.
He increasingly realized that IQ, which once dominated over 95% of the market, even without expanding its business beyond the U.S., could still capture 70-80% of the market share in Asia and domestically with its English version. How did they manage to ruin themselves?
No matter how poorly Yahoo performed, missing one opportunity after another, at least they would still be worth four to five billion dollars after excluding Alibaba's shares. IQ was in a sunrise industry; even Teng Xun's penguin could support a market value of over a hundred billion dollars. In comparison, it was truly dismal.
However, he concluded that as long as they proceeded step by step domestically and followed the established strategy while finding a reliable leader, a reversal by QQ would not happen.
The only problem was finding a reliable leader. Who could be more suitable than Ma Ge, who originally created QQ?
Thus, Jiang Yizhou naturally reached out to Ma Ge, leading to these recent events.
If he could get that group of people on board, he would be willing to give up 10% of the options. It's better to be safe than sorry; strategically, he could afford to look down on them, but tactically, he had to take them seriously.
In practice, Jiang Yizhou was certainly in awe. Facing Zhang Xiaolong, he felt a mix of respect stemming from his superior's authority and the foresight that came from the future.
...
"Hey, I know this company; they just received a large amount of venture capital. I think they should be more receptive to our technology," Larry Page said excitedly. During this time, they had been looking for financing or buyers for their search engine, which had now been renamed Ggle.
The computer screen they were staring at displayed recruitment information from Ailumeisi Company, seeking personnel for the Portal website. But doesn't the Portal website need a search service provider? They thought about trying to sell their search engine to them. If they succeeded, it would cover their travel expenses around the world and future costs.
However, Jiang Yizhou clearly hadn't anticipated this. After receiving an email accepting Ma Huateng's invitation, he set off on his journey back home. Due to the company's split and prolonged lack of leadership, chaos had ensued. It had reached a point where if things weren't sorted out soon, they could simply take the servers and data and start a new company.
Li Yue was not particularly skilled in managing Internet enterprises. Additionally, Wu Ming had taken a group of people to establish Portal. Jiang Yizhou brought his core team to the United States, feeling abandoned by Boss Zhengyi Technology. The atmosphere there was tense; it was no joke.
The person in charge was not someone Jiang Yizhou had thought of on a whim; rather, it was Li Yue who kept urging him until he finally made an overseas call and scolded him. Only then did Jiang Yizhou come up with a solution.
For the time being, he decided to let Li Yue manage things. If anyone resigned, he would approve it immediately. If they didn't expand or even slowed down version updates, Zhengyi Technology could operate with just three or four people.
Jiang Yizhou planned to meet Ma Ge in person after negotiating well with him; perhaps he would bring along a few more people to help reorganize Zhengyi Technology.
Wu Ming certainly harbored resentment towards Jiang Yizhou; otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Zhengyi Technology to become what it was now. Jiang Yizhou also couldn't stay away from Silicon Valley for long; he knew what was important and could only rely on Ma Ge.
After turning off his phone, Jiang Yizhou felt somewhat exhausted. The service on Air China was quite good. Having never flown before in his past life, Jiang Yizhou didn't have a direct impression of the quality of foreign flight attendants. However, the last time he flew with United Airlines, the service was somewhat disappointing; even average quality service staff should be better than what he experienced on that flight.
So this time, he decisively switched to Air China’s flight. After taking motion sickness medication beforehand and having a light meal on the plane, he spent the entire flight feeling drowsy.
"Yi Zhou, bss, Boss! We're about to land soon!" Song Rushi accompanied Jiang Yizhou, as she was the one who actually handled matters. Jiang Yizhou was someone who had high aspirations but lacked practical skills, suitable only for being the Boss giving orders, and yet he was indeed the Boss.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Jiang Yizhou hastily tidied up and waited for the plane to land. Following Song Rushi, he exited the airport and was picked up by Li Yue.
In the car, Li Yue asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"Motion sickness. It seems quite severe. He took motion sickness medication before boarding and ate a little, but he's still feeling really sick. Let's just head straight back to his place!" Song Rushi briefly explained.
With the car windows wide open, the cold wind rushed into Jiang Yizhou's clothes, making him feel much better. He wasn't particularly prone to car sickness and leaned against the window, not wanting to talk.
"Mm!" Li Yue caught a glimpse of Jiang Yizhou's uncomfortable expression in the rearview mirror. The corners of his mouth slightly lifted, but he quickly suppressed his smile and drove towards the place where Jiang Yizhou shared an apartment with Qin Yi.
Meanwhile, Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong received a positive response along with a guarantee that travel expenses would be reimbursed. They immediately bought tickets and arrived in the capital by train. Stepping off the train and looking at the bustling train station, Ma Huateng suggested, "Should we find a hotel to stay at first or head over to Zheng Yi's place now?"
Zhang Zhidong thought for a moment and replied, "Let's confirm things first; it won't delay our work. Efficiency is key!"
The two reached an agreement and headed to the office location of Zhongguancun Zhengyi Technology.
