After signing the agreement, Robert Hentzman took the check and laughed heartily. This domain name was something he had registered two years ago, thinking it had some value.
Later, he used it for his personal photography website, but eventually neglected the site due to work commitments. He decided to put a price on it and listed it on an auction site, not expecting that someone would actually be willing to pay so much for it!
The world is truly amazing.
Shen Qing didn't want to stay for another second. She hurriedly processed the domain transfer, recalling that person's expression, which clearly indicated they had her in a tight spot. Initially, they had discussed a price of 100,000 dollars, but suddenly they insisted on 0 million dollars. Her lack of experience had caused her boss to suffer such a significant loss, which was a heavy blow.
"You go here and help manage the finances for the two people I invested in. If you're interested, you can also get involved in their work!" Jiang Yizhou looked at Shen Qing, who had become upset after selling the domain. He thought to himself that she was somewhat self-aware but too straightforward. He handed her an address.
"This is a garage in a residential area?" Shen Qing exclaimed, feeling as if she had been exiled.
Jiang Yizhou's body trembled slightly before he straightened up and leaned forward over the table. "Yes, but don't underestimate this company. I've invested 300,000 dollars into it. Go ahead; I've already given them your contact information!"
Shen Qing nodded and planned to check it out first.
Song Rushi, with rosy cheeks, nestled in the man's embrace, avoiding his kisses for some reason. "How can you do this?"
"Sister, it's all my fault for forcing you!" Jiang Yizhou thought that Song Rushi could adapt like a sponge, changing shape according to his form, making him reluctant to let go.
As for Ding Zhengnan, whenever she asked about him, he would speak frankly!
Since he had already made the biggest mistake of his life—giving up and shirking responsibility—he couldn't afford to make a second mistake: lying.
Both of these mistakes may not yield immediate consequences but lead one step by step into confusion. The former causes hesitation and stagnation, while the latter puts one in a precarious situation where every lie is built on a shaky foundation.
In a moment of distraction from Song Rushi, Jiang Yizhou kissed her without hesitation.
She slowly relaxed her grip on her chest, the anxiety in her heart making her usual composure fade away.
"Let's go home first!" Song Rushi suddenly broke free from the man's arm and stared at him.
...
"Li, you need to go interview this company with me!" Zhang Li, a reporter from Computer Report, was shocked by the news from Silicon Valley displayed on his computer. Five hundred million, in dollars, at just 19 years old, starting from scratch in the Internet industry—this undoubtedly constituted an excellent news story.
He had been aware of Zhengyi Technology and Jiang Yizhou, but although Jiang Yizhou was well-known in the industry, he had always been elusive, rarely seen in public and refusing interviews. Each time, he only allowed the company to issue official statements.
It was likely to be the same this time, but they still had to go. Such a sensational news story, even without a response from the person involved, could be organized into a fresh headline that would create a storm.
Moreover, this news was easy to verify. They could check the statement released by the publicly listed company America Online and trace the equity structure of elink that was being acquired; the truth would be clear.
Should he apply to go to the United States for an exclusive interview with this rising genius Jiang Yizhou? The editor-in-chief would surely agree. After all, the Chinese American Yang Zhiyuan, who created the Yahoo myth, only had a net worth of ten billion dollars. Jiang Yizhou was a bona fide Chinese national, though there was no precedent for him accepting interviews.
Located in Zhongguancun, they quickly arrived at Zhengyi Technology and saw the adorable young Panda logo at the front desk. Zhang Li couldn't help but laugh again.
"Hello, I'm a reporter from Computer Report. I called earlier to make an appointment. My name is Zhang Li; here is my press badge. May I conduct an interview with your company?"
The receptionist was no longer the girl named Wen Shuangshuang but a newly recruited front desk staff member.
Wen Shuangshuang had been promoted to lead the customer service department. By the time Jiang Yizhou brought in Ma Ge to reorganize things, several employees had left during the company's expansion. As one of the top fifteen veteran employees, she naturally did not need to stay here any longer.
"Reporter Zhang... hello, please wait while I notify someone!" After checking his press badge, she dialed Ma Huateng's office. "Mr. Ma, reporter Zhang Li who made an appointment earlier has arrived!"
Ma Huateng felt a mix of emotions as he said, "Take him to the lounge, I'll be there shortly!"
He was also shocked by Jiang Yizhou's actions across the ocean. If elink could sell for a billion Dollars, how much would Zheng Yi be worth in the future?
He didn't know, but Ma Huateng was aware of the current state of the internet in the country. There was a booming infrastructure development for the Internet, yet the internet fees remained high. Right now, Zheng Yi was truly stuck in a quagmire; the only profitable ventures were the Portal website and the Network Management System of Vast Universe.
Indeed, he envied Universal Software. That was a genuine business opportunity. Compared to qi and Portal, it had already expanded to hundreds of internet café users, each paying 00 yuan per month, resulting in nearly 100,000 yuan in stable income, and it was still growing.
Fortunately, all the dividends belonging to Boss were reinvested into Zheng Yi, allowing him to persist. If he solely relied on the income from Portal while trying to maintain expansion, it would likely take until next year to achieve profitability.
The comparison between the two versions of qi and the software and Internet industries left Ma Huateng feeling somewhat disheartened. However, Zheng Yi was already on the right track, and he couldn't let Jiang Yizhou's trust go to waste.
"Hello, Zhang Reporter, I am Ma Huateng, the General Manager of Zheng Yi." Upon reaching the lounge area next to a row of water and coffee machines, Ma Huateng saw the two individuals, shook hands briefly, and took a seat across from them.
Zhang Li recalled his investigation results. Jiang Yizhou had split qi into two parts; although domestic development was rapid—especially with the Portal website—he had considered switching jobs to Qihang Network. However, compared to elink, it fell far short. This individual was likely a temporary leader in the domestic sector and should have earned Jiang Yizhou's trust.
"I came here mainly to learn about your company's founder, Jiang Yizhou. The stories about Mr. Jiang in Silicon Valley are quite inspiring. I wonder if I might have the honor of interviewing Mr. Jiang?" Zhang Li asked abruptly, testing the waters—who knows what might happen?
