When Zhang Chaoyang planned to return to his home country to start a business, he faced many cold shoulders and disdain while seeking venture capital. In the end, he managed to secure his first investment of less than two hundred thousand dollars through some teachers and students he met at school, and it wasn't until this year that he received the full amount.
Unlike Jiang Yizhou, who investigated the situation and directly approved a financing amount of one million dollars for him, it was simply unbelievable. If he could obtain venture capital domestically, why would he need to seek out the harsh foreign investors?
However, he truly felt embarrassed to face him again. Now they were rivals, and in Jiang Yizhou's eyes, he probably didn't even count as a competitor, just a fickle guy.
Ultimately, after some internal conflict, Zhang Chaoyang decided not to turn back and seek investment; he had his own pride.
...
Lin Jun naturally saw this report. In fact, he had always paid close attention to Jiang Yizhou because he was one of the first few people to see the instant messaging software plan known as qi or k. He had also advised Jiang Yizhou to focus on accumulating work experience for a couple of years before he would invest in him.
But unexpectedly, this guy was incredibly bold, so much so that he seemed to be all-in on this entrepreneurial venture.
It turned out that he almost missed out on a legend; Jiang Yizhou's actions could indeed be called legendary because his wealth myth drew many people's attention to the emerging industry of the Internet.
The software industry is essentially still a traditional industry—producing goods, selling them, and providing after-sales service. But does qi have any technological content? In fact, there are no groundbreaking technologies; rather, its concept of connecting everyone is what truly impacts people in this Internet era.
Who knows how many more people will dive headfirst into the Internet industry because of this? How many websites will rapidly emerge? Should he also try his hand at this field?
He was tempted; Jiang Yizhou's case had already shown domestic practitioners that Internet companies could not be evaluated by conventional logic. In just one year, a billion-dollar company had risen from the ground up.
It seemed like it was time for a serious conversation with him! Lin Jun sighed.
After the report in Computer Report was published, many newspapers reprinted it, and people were eager to learn more about Jiang Yizhou and the history of his qi. In this era of confusion and change, the impact of money on individuals is quite significant.
Historically, in the year 0, Ding Sanshi held the title of richest person with a fortune of 7.5 billion Renminbi. Six years later, the concept that Internet equates to wealth made many who had never engaged with Computer or Internet want to understand it. Those already in the industry became increasingly excited, wanting to dive into this wave of opportunity.
However, the information they could obtain was very limited. Aside from Jiang Yizhou's identification card and some basic documents, there was no other information available. His records only began to be documented from middle school, and since Jiang Yizhou had not even received his graduation certificate, his file at the company was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
After Jiang Yizhou received an email from Ma Ge, he understood that such matters were unavoidable. Therefore, he did not reprimand Ma Huateng, but instead advised him to be moderate and issued an official announcement.
The announcement simply clarified the facts concerning media and public interest and expressed gratitude. It went on for quite a while with formalities about what the company would do in the future.
While many noticed the announcement's mention of "establishing Zhengyi Venture Capital" and were inspired to organize their business plans to seek venture capital either by mail or in person, the media and most of the public were dissatisfied with such a perfunctory announcement.
"Director, give us something! The story of Mr. Jiang! Newspapers are reporting his news everywhere, but it’s just the same few lines over and over!" During a large class meeting held by Qin Yi for her two classes of Computer-related majors from the class of '96, a few bold students started to stir up excitement.
Since Qin Yi had previously been asked by Jiang Yizhou to recruit some interns among the graduating students, Li Jian, who is now an assistant to Zhang Zhidong, was one of the most outstanding from that group. Initially, it seemed normal to recruit a few interns.
However, as Jiang Yizhou suddenly became known as the "richest man" to the public, this matter was quickly brought up by some perceptive students during this large class meeting.
Qin Yi glanced at several teachers in the audience for their opinions. It was supposed to be a Q&A session, but she hadn’t expected someone to ask such a question. However, she didn’t have much personal affection for Jiang Yizhou, especially considering Li Yue's situation; there was no need to hide anything for him.
Seeing that the teachers were also interested and nodded in agreement, she surveyed the tiered classroom filled with over a hundred eager students. "Since you all want to hear it so much, I’ll share it. But after you hear it, don’t blame me for ruining your idol's image!"
A few people in the back row discreetly took out paper and pens; some even had tape recorders ready to document what she said, whether for posting on online forums or selling to reporters.
Then, Qin Yi avoided some personal details and recounted what she knew about Jiang Yizhou. "The first time I met Jiang Yizhou, your idol, was when I rented an apartment; he had just arrived at work in Jinshan..."
After the Class Meeting ended, before any of the students who wanted to build connections could approach her, the Vice Dean of the college, Wei Qi, called out to Qin Yi, "Qin, I didn't expect you to be so close with that Jiang Yizhou!"
Qin Yi sensed that a task might be coming her way. Her alma mater's Computer-related programs were relatively outdated. Although they weren't as behind as the liberal arts colleges in science and engineering schools, they still lagged compared to the overall ranking of the school.
"Dean Wei, actually I'm not that familiar with him!" Qin Yi had just been joking around with Jiang Yizhou for quite a while, and since they didn't have much of a relationship, it was likely that Li Yue had a better connection with Jiang Yizhou than she did.
...
Feeling somewhat troubled, Qin Yi was later pulled aside by a group of interested students who offered many suggestions. By the time she got off work and returned home, she found Li Yue there and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you usually back by six or seven? Why are you home so early today?"
Li Yue stirred her brewed coffee with a spoon and replied helplessly, "A bunch of reporters blocked the company’s entrance. After finishing my meeting outside, I just came straight back! What's wrong with you? You look worried."
Qin Yi tossed her coat and bag aside and lay down on the sofa. "Isn't it all because of that guy? He made such a big fuss. You know all my subordinates are in Computer-related fields; many students idolize him. The college people also want me to make contact and see if we can get some benefits!"
"What benefits?"
Qin Yi tilted her head and looked at her best friend sideways. "For example, special admission for him as a graduate student. What Jiang Yizhou lacks most besides emotional intelligence is his academic qualifications, right?"
