Chapter 2772: Look down
In 2001, the domestic Internet was burning with capital banknotes before this year. What they were thinking about was how to increase the number of users, how to burn more banknotes, how many users to reach, and then go public.
As for the matter of profit, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not mention it. Maybe some smart people have thought of this issue, but as the saying goes, we are still good friends if we see through it or not.
For example, when Qiongzhou was speculating on real estate a few years ago, couldn't anyone tell that something was wrong? Yes.
For example, during the real estate bubble in Yamato, they claimed that they could buy the entire Citigroup after selling East Longitude.
Are there no sober people among these fanaticisms? Yes, but in this environment, even if you are sober, how sober can you be?
And it's useless to be awake. You're being coerced by the environment. If you can be more compliant, you'll be able to live longer. If you don't, you'll die faster.
But this year, affected by the Nasdaq stock market crash and Citigroup's economic impact on the Internet industry, all Internet companies began to have problems and lacked funds.
Starting from 2001, all Internet industries need to be self-reliant and need to find profitable channels and directions.
In fact, in the current domestic Internet industry, some companies are still very powerful, such as the four major portals and companies with a large number of users such as Penguin.
In fact, all they lack is a monetization method. As long as they find this monetization method, relying on their users, not to mention other things, they are sure to survive.
But now Yingke, or idg, and other capital companies are worried that they can't find a profitable direction.
After all, the Internet industry is an emerging industry. In the past, everyone was just hyping and bragging, without thinking about profitability at all. An industry that has only developed in just over ten years, everyone is afraid of it.
The nature of capital to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages makes it impossible for them to gamble when the situation is unclear.
But once they know the direction of profits and that Internet companies can make profits, they will immediately change their attitude. The change from resolute abandonment to a wait-and-see attitude only takes an instant.
So before signing the contract, Jiang Xiaobai was tight-lipped.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Xiaobai also called Wang Meng over, and Wang Meng happened to be in Pengcheng these two days.
Wang Meng and Li Qing really know each other.
"Director Jiang, you don't know. At first, I wanted to recruit Li Qing to come to our Changxingju Real Estate Company, but Mr. Li was still unwilling to come. I didn't expect that he would go to Penguin now. I didn't expect it." Wang Meng
Said with a smile.
"Haha, thank you Mr. Wang for the compliment. I really didn't think about going into the sea at that time, but then I encountered some situations, so I went into the sea." Li Qing smiled and picked up the wine glass and toasted Wang Meng. In fact, the actual situation was that Wang Meng originally wanted to go to the sea.
He used to give me the position of vice president.
But if you start a business with Brother Ma, he is the shareholder.
No matter how big or small your company is, there are people who just want to be the boss.
"I could tell from the beginning that you were a talent. Now, as expected, Director Jiang personally acquired all the companies you founded."
Wang Meng sincerely praised Li Qing, but it made Li Qing's face somewhat ugly. It was an honor to be acquired by Director Jiang himself.
Although this is indeed a fact, the attitude is always a bit condescending.
"Mengzi, drink." Jiang Xiaobai saw it and smiled and asked Wang Meng to drink. Wang Meng has been in real estate for the past two years, and he is very ambitious.
But this is normal. The Internet industry is hot here, but the real estate industry is even hotter.
In addition, in the real estate industry, things are done in black and white, and they are very wild and rich. This momentum has increased, and they don't care about the Internet at all.
In their hearts, the Internet industry is like a younger brother, especially now that the Internet industry is experiencing a cold winter.
So when speaking, it is easy to bring your own thoughts into and out of your words.
Even if Jiang Xiaobai saw this kind of thing, there was nothing he could do about it. A few words of warning to Wang Meng would be of no use at all.
After dinner, Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Meng left. Changxingju Real Estate Company was in Pengcheng, so there was no need for Brother Ma to entertain them.
"What's wrong? Mr. Ma, what Wang Meng said just now didn't make sense, and you feel uncomfortable?" Li Qing looked at Brother Ma and asked.
"No." Brother Ma shook his head, but he was very worried. He couldn't figure it out. It was obviously a good thing, but he always felt a little awkward.
What Wang Meng said was true, but it sounded a little uncomfortable.
"No, how dare I feel uncomfortable? What they said is the truth. Didn't you see that during the meal, Jiang Xiaobai was answering phone calls, including those from Wanke Wangshi, those from Shentefa, and those from China Merchants Group?
Side phone.
Each one is bigger than the other, I can’t match any of them, no one can look down on me..."
Brother Ma said with a sour taste in his mouth, Li Qing immediately became happy, and the sour taste spread ten miles away.
"Haha, Mr. Ma, you are arrogantly belittling yourself..." Li Qing wanted to say that he was arrogantly belittling himself, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that the people who called Jiang Xiaobai at the dinner table were indeed not what they could afford now.
"Okay, Mr. Ma, how many years has Director Jiang been in business? We have only been in business for a few years. In ten or twenty years, we will definitely be able to surpass him." Li Qing said with confidence, but in fact he didn't think much about this.
Believe it or not, it would be good to catch up with Jiang Xiaobai if you push yourself to death. If you want to surpass Jiang Xiaobai, it will probably be difficult.
After all, they have been developing in the past ten or twenty years, but Jiang Xiaobai is also developing, which will directly require them to take 40% of their shares.
No matter how well they develop, they are still half as good as Jiang Xiaobai. It is easier said than done to surpass them.
"Overtake them, let's go, go back and rest, we have to sign the contract tomorrow." Xiao Ma said with a wry smile.
On the other side, in the business car, Wang Meng looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked with a smile: "Brother Xiaobai, the nightlife in Pengcheng is very rich now, or I will take you to see it."
"Okay, how about I call Xiaobei now?" Jiang Xiaobai looked at Wang Meng with a half-smile and asked.
Wang Meng was immediately frightened: "Brother Xiaobai, please don't. I was just joking, it's not true. Please don't call Xiaobei."
