As night fell, in a small restaurant near Jinshan Software Company, three people sat around a greasy table. On the table were peanuts, beef sauce, shredded potatoes, and several bottles of simple Yanjing beer.

If someone takes a photo at this time, future generations will definitely be surprised.

The three super rich people with a combined net worth of over one trillion yuan are actually no different from those of ordinary people.

When he was young, Robin Ri was definitely a handsome guy. On the domestic IT rich list, his appearance should be the best.

But at this moment, he was obviously overshadowed in front of Tan Xiaotian. Fortunately, the handsome guy is better than the elegant one. He speaks gentle Mandarin and is not anxious or impatient, so that people can continue to listen to him.

"Xiao Tan, are you really optimistic about domestic search engines?

Can you tell me the reason?”

The handsome guy in 2001 did not have the confidence he had later. This was the most difficult time for him and Ferry.

Looking from afar, Google is like a sharp sword hanging above its head. Looking close, Yahoo Chinese is like a nail-down board, with an enemy from both sides, and a wolf in front of you and a tiger behind you. Life is really hard.

Yoshihiro Sai didn't expect that the Internet market would not be able to do so if it was not possible, as if God was specifically targeting him.

2,000 returned from the United States to start a ferry. I thought I could make a big move and fight once, but I didn’t expect that the huge waves would come at once. In the blink of an eye, the Internet companies were full of sorrow and suffered heavy casualties.

The ferry, which is not yet one year old, is like a weak baby, and cannot withstand such storms! Tan Xiaotian raised his neck and drank a glass of beer, "Liberty, of course I am optimistic about domestic search engines. Not only do I look forward to this, I am optimistic about all domestic companies related to the Internet. The reason is, haha!"

Tan Xiaotian smiled at the sky and said two words, "Need."

"What?"

Lei Jun and Rio Yoshihiro were both confused.

“Because the country needs it.”

Tan Xiaotian stood up and served as two big shots. "It is absolutely impossible for our country to be controlled by software, technology, and the Internet. Whether it is Google or Yahoo, it is a foreign company after all, and the superiors will not tolerate foreign companies forming monopoly in China..." Rio Yoshihiro's hand holding the cup was trembling slightly. This was the first time he heard these words, as if he was given a shot of a heart-warming agent.

"Xiao Tan, thank you for telling me so much. I'll ask another question, what should I do in the future?"

"I'm showing off my skills, but I'm actually talking nonsense. Come on, let's have a drink."

Talk to Xiaotian and talk about him.

After drinking a glass of wine, Robin Ri looked at Tan Xiaotian with a gaze.

"Rige, before seeing you, Brother Lei and I told me that I wanted to invest in search engines, but the people who saw you first. Now that I see you, I am more determined to invest.

I hope Richmond accepts my investment, and of course, if you object, I will know everything."

Ritsuhiro hesitated, "Xiao Tan, you really thought about it. This is not a good time to invest."

Tan Xiaotian raised a finger and said, "Brother, I have a principle of investing, that is, never control the shares and leave professional matters to professionals."

Rio Yoshihiro looked at him regularly and quietly stretched out his hand, "I hope you don't blame me for cheating you in the future."

Tan Xiaotian's words just now remove his biggest concern, and the company is really short of money now.

Just now, when talking about Xiaotian, Lei Jun was also itchy, "Okay, don't keep it aside. Yanhong agreed, you can say it now."

"It's very simple, down-to-earth. Don't just follow the trend of foreign countries, give domestic netizens what they need."

To the two bigwigs, this simple sentence is tantamount to Huang Zhong Dalu, which is deafening.

After leaving the small hotel, Tan Xiaotian, Li Yanhong and Lei Jun broke up and said goodbye.

After watching the two big shots leave, Tan Xiaotian turned his head slightly and said to Zhang Man who had been waiting outside: "Let the lawyers and negotiation experts come tomorrow morning, and there is work to do."

Yoshihiro Saki had already nodded, and the rest were the specific details.

May 3rd at 8:30 am.

Lawyer Leng Hongfeng and negotiating expert Zhan Zhiyun rushed to the hotel.

Tan Xiaotian offered the price for the two of them enough to get them up early to run.

Leng Hongfeng has a steely face that lawyers are accustomed to, and he is serious. After meeting, he only shook hands with Tan Xiaotian gently and stopped talking.

Zhan Zhiyun is a charming young woman with a background in a prestigious school. She was the main debater of the debate team when she was in school. She had a clear mind, knowledgeable and sharp words. She was a natural negotiator.

She was shocked when she saw Tan Xiaotian. She obviously couldn't believe that the young and indifferent young man in front of her would be the boss she wanted to serve, and her heart was full of curiosity.

Since we were going to the ferry negotiations in the afternoon, the time was limited, Tan Xiaotian didn't say much nonsense and handed over the situation of Baidu company that he had printed last night to the two of them.

"I told you about the basic situation last night on the phone. Both of them are professionals. I believe they know more than me in this regard. This is the basic information I want to invest in the company. You can take a look first."

The two looked down at the information, Tan Xiaotian continued, "You have a familiarity with this company in the morning and you will go to negotiate in the afternoon. My purpose is very simple, to invest in this company but not to control it.

What is the investment amount and shareholding ratio... Of course, the less money you invest, the higher the shareholding ratio, the better.

You can grasp the details yourself, I only want the results.”

Time passes by with the rustling sound of turning over the pages of the book.

In the afternoon, Shouqiu drove to Baidu with Tan Xiaotian and Zhang Man.

Leng Hongfeng and Zhan Zhiyun both had their own cars, and they both drove behind Shouqiu.

The ferry side was also ready and packed up the conference room as a negotiation place.

At this time, the shift was just a small company, and the person in charge of the negotiations were two deputy general managers within the company.

The professional issues were left to professionals, and Tan Xiaotian and Yanhong Ri came into the office to chat, as if the negotiations next door had nothing to do with them.

An hour later, the door to the conference room opened.

Tan Xiaotian felt relieved when he saw Zhan Zhiyun's expression, and he felt relieved half.

After Zhan Zhiyun reported the results to him, Tan Xiaotian invested 20 million yuan, accounting for 20% of the shares.

Tan Xiaotian thought to himself that the money paid to the negotiating experts was indeed not spent in vain. There is no way to see the investment now, and he will make a lot of money in the future.

In 2005, Ferry was successfully listed on Nasdaq, creating a myth of Chinese stocks listed in the United States. The stock price rose by 354% on the first day. Based on the closing price on the first day of listing, Ferry's market value has reached US$3.958 billion.

Although Tan Xiaotian's equity has been diluted to 12.7% at this time, it is still as high as US$502.6 million. The 20 million rmb four years ago became US$500 million. This is Tan Xiaotian's work of the god of investment and is regarded as a classic by venture capital around the world.

The ferry also reported the situation to Yoshihiro Ri, and it seemed that he was also satisfied with the negotiation results.

This investment is tantamount to him as a timely help.

Leng Hongfeng drafted an investment contract on the spot, and Tan Xiaotian and Robin Li signed the letters respectively.

It also states in the contract that if the capital is expanded in the future, Tan Xiaotian has the right of first refusal.
