Zhang Chaoyang has now explored his future direction, focusing on hyperlinks and navigation, with the Portal being the mainstream of China's Internet in the coming years, marking the era of Portal supremacy.
Jiang Yizhou is also inclined to invest in him because Sina's financing is too large and complex. Zhang Chaoyang is simpler and more low-key, without so many complications.
Jiang Yizhou is quite satisfied with his plan, which does not conflict with qi Portal. In a sense, qi Portal is merely an enhancement for user engagement, serving as an additional feature, leaving room for future collaboration with Sohu.
"If I invest 1 million now, how long can you take to create China's Yahoo?" Jiang Yizhou extended a finger, waiting for him to respond.
"Renminbi?" Zhang Chaoyang felt it was a bit low, but as part of the investment, it was acceptable; he would still seek other investments afterward.
"Dollar." Jiang Yizhou shook his finger. "You still haven't answered my question."
"Give me six months, and I'll make it happen!" Zhang Chaoyang seemed determined.
"Alright, how much equity do you think I should get?"
Zhang Chaoyang felt a bit conflicted; after all, the company had not reached a desperate situation. The current valuation would likely require giving up a significant amount of equity, but accepting an inflated future valuation was somewhat challenging.
The final result was to discuss it again in a few days.
Because the discussion was rushed, Jiang Yizhou did not have a deep understanding of Zhang Chaoyang and his Aitexin. A little more buffer time would allow for better understanding.
Zhang Chaoyang would also think more clearly; he was indeed a bit overly worried. However, venture capital is something that can be encountered but not sought after.
After sending off the somewhat heavy-hearted Zhang Chaoyang, Jiang Yizhou first went to Vast Universe. Wu Ming's response to him was lukewarm; he simply said, "You're here," before returning to work.
"Looks like you fit in well here?" Jiang Yizhou approached him. "Is this a forum?"
He saw a website on the screen called "Network Administrator Home."
"Yes, we are currently developing clients through both online methods and our sales team. We sell CDs by mail order, and there are various tutorials in the forum to help network administrators solve problems," Wu Ming said, quite satisfied with this setup, if one ignored that there were only ten people online at that moment.
Listening to Wu Ming talk about his achievements during this time eased some of Jiang Yizhou's guilt; indeed, he was suited for this work!
Back at the company, Jiang Yizhou recounted the situation with Zhang Chaoyang to Song Rushi and received a bunch of astonished reactions as expected.
"You are, by the time you go downstairs, already negotiating to invest a million, or is it Dollar?" Song Rushi never expected such a move; it really is just enough time for a cup of coffee!
"It hasn't been finalized yet, just confirmed the intention. Aren't you quite familiar with IDG? Have them investigate Zhang Chaoyang's details and report back to me!"
Jiang Yizhou believes in utilizing talents and resources effectively, feeling no shame for putting pressure on Sister Song. After all, she is a woman who plans to reserve a significant portion of the options pool, so she naturally needs to contribute.
After giving him a sideways glance, Song Rushi nodded. She had almost gotten used to this caretaker-like career; fortunately, these were all work-related matters, and in life, Jiang Yizhou was still someone who didn't need others to worry about him.
Next, Jiang Yizhou sent an email to both Xiong Xiaoge and Zhou Quan, asking for their opinions and suggestions regarding investing in Zhang Chaoyang, and inviting them to invest together.
After arranging responsible persons for various domestic affairs and assigning their tasks, Jiang Yizhou had achieved the purpose of his trip to the country; next was simply buying a house.
Not having a place of his own made Jiang Yizhou, someone who lacked a sense of security—especially after he had gained this ability—feel restless.
This could be considered a peculiar habit in some sense! Complaining about it needed resolution, and with the money he had, he could buy a villa as long as it wasn't one of those extravagant mansions worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
He indeed wanted to buy a standalone villa, free from noise from neighbors above or below, where he could do anything quietly.
Thinking about his girlfriend's current job, it would be perfect since there were professionals available.
...
"Ding Zhengnan, I see you've been posing in front of the mirror for quite a while; if you don't leave now, you'll be late!" Lu Yan saw through her daughter's thoughts. She wasn't wearing formal attire but rather a business-casual outfit, with exquisite makeup on her face; it was hard not to guess...
Under her mother's urging, Ding Zhengnan hurriedly glanced at the mirror again, maintaining a composed expression as she exited the house and called for Jiang Yizhou, who was driving.
"Girl, you're being so mysterious; what exactly are you up to?" After telling Ding Zhengnan about buying a house, the girl became secretive and told him to wait.
Hearing the girl's voice on the phone, Jiang Yizhou felt like he was a chicken being offered to a weasel for New Year's greetings; he should be that silly chicken delivered right to her door. Buying a house was meant for living in, not for her amusement!
Following the girl's directions, Jiang Yizhou found that he seemed increasingly unfamiliar with the route.
"Ding Zhengnan, haven't we arrived yet? Where exactly is your place?" At this point, Jiang Yizhou felt uneasy; she must have some ulterior motive now that she knew he had money and wanted to fulfill some bizarre idea.
Throughout the journey, Ding Zhengnan was either giving directions or excitedly saying things like "We're almost there" and "Don't worry," while Jiang Yizhou had nearly given up.
Finally, after stopping the car, Jiang Yizhou saw a very artistic Two-Story Building with a well-arranged courtyard. A few Ginkgo Trees had not yet reached their vibrant season.
"Dang dang dang dang, what do you think? This is a house belonging to a senior from my university club. We've been here many times, barbecuing in the yard and holding concerts in the hall inside..."
Listening to the girl recount her memories in this Two-Story Building, Jiang Yizhou examined the house, which had quite a Western courtyard feel. The spacious yard seemed somewhat mismatched with the delicate Two-Story Building, which explained why so many trees were planted in the courtyard.
"So why did you bring me here?"
"Of course to buy it! My senior's family went abroad not long ago and has been looking for someone to sell it. I just thought this place was really nice. What do you think?" Ding Zhengnan looked at Jiang Yizhou with hope.
As a place for hosting parties, it seemed quite nice!
Jiang Yizhou carefully assessed it and indeed found it decent, but it was different from what he had imagined. It wasn't large enough to be considered a mansion that required professional management, nor was it small enough to be maintained by hiring a part-time cleaner.
"What do you think?"
