Rewrite the Technological Landscape

After shopping, I returned to my hotel room near the Shanghai New International Expo Center. I just sat down and rested for a while when someone knocked on the door. Through the cat's eyes, Meng Qian saw a middle-aged man, his name is Xiong Xiaoge, this person has quite a lot of titles, the American International Data Group, which is the director of IDG Capital, the director of Boston University, and the member of the Asia Advisory Committee of Harvard Business School , Member of the Leaders Committee of the MIT McGovern Institute for Brain Science, Independent Director of China Unicom.

Oh, by the way, the Harper's Bazaar Star Charity Night was also initiated by this buddy.

He is also the first generation of investors in Huaxia. His investments include Baidu, Taobao, Penguin, Sohu, eBay, Ctrip, Huicong, Dangdang, 3721, etc. Because of this, he is known as Huaxia’s first high-tech industry venture fund. one person.

However, he has been looking for Meng Qian frequently recently because of another identity, the planner of the "Win in China" column.

"Win in China" is a national business war reality show launched by CCTV in 2006. It was very popular in the first two or three years. Many years later, because a young man said he was more optimistic about Taobao, the video of the boss of Huicong.com was turned on the spot. Come out and fire again.

By the way, to dispel rumors, it is rumored on the Internet that the young man is Zhang Xiangdong, the founder of Wanwang, and he is not alone at all.

As the planner of "Win in China", Xiong Xiaoge had contacted Meng Qian several times before, and the purpose was to hope that Meng Qian could serve as a judge.

In fact, Meng Qian didn't have any interest and didn't really want to go, but in the end he agreed to go for one or two episodes because of the difficulty of hospitality, so Meng Qian didn't understand why this guy came again, didn't he already agree to him.

"Mr. Meng, this is the final list of judges. You can take a look." As soon as he entered the door, Xiong Xiaoge really talked about "Win in China".

Meng Qian opened the list and glanced casually, "Niu Gengshen from Mengniu, Jack Ma from Alibaba, Shi Yuzhu from Giant Group, Yu Minhong from New Oriental, Liu Chuanzhi from Lenovo Group, Wu Yin from UT Starcom, Xu Huan from Capital Today, Practice Lin Weixian, Chairman of Home Education Group."

Hearing Meng Qian's special tone when he read Lin Wei's name, Xiong Xiaoge almost blurted out, "Oh, I got it wrong. This is the first edition. I'm really sorry. The final version doesn't have Lin Wei's title."

Meng Qian praised Xiong Xiaoge in his heart. Being able to tell lies so naturally and make more self-interested decisions in an instant is really suitable for the shopping mall environment of this era.

After chatting briefly about the show for a while, Meng Qian glanced at his watch. Xiong Xiaoge saw it and responded, but his response was not to leave, but to clarify the real intention of coming today.

"Mr. Meng, since Shao Yibo became the general manager of Dafeng Investment, I have seen that Dafeng Investment has recently published many corporate research reports."

"Well, Mr. Shao really gave me a lot of ideas after he came, and he also started to try some changes." Meng Qian blamed all the reasons on Shao Yibo.

"I have communicated with Shao Yibo several times before. Mr. Shao really has great ideas and talents in this field. I know that Jingwei Venture Capital has been in contact with him before. I thought he would go to Jingwei, but I didn't expect him. Went to Dafeng Investment."

"My expectations for Mr. Shao are very high." Meng Qian simply responded.

"Then I don't know what the future positioning of Dafeng Investment is?"

"Last year, Sequoia Capital entered China, and Matrix Partners has already written down the process of entering China. If we in China don't have our own venture capitalists to stand up, maybe we will have to talk about it in more than ten years. We What country is it?"

Xiong Xiaoge was startled, because he was the first person to introduce foreign capital to invest in Chinese enterprises.

The core industry of the US International Data Group is not for investment, but mainly information publishing and research. The foundation on the Huaxia side was promoted by Xiong Xiaoge, which allowed the US International Data Group to invest in so many companies in China.

Quickly adjusting his mood, Xiong Xiaoge smiled like a friend, "Meng always wants to build the largest venture capitalist in China."

"Domestic?" Meng Qian deliberately smiled disdainfully, "Dafeng Capital only cares about the position of the world's largest venture capitalist."

Xiong Xiaoge was inexplicably terrified by Meng Qian's sneer. A company that started venture capital in 2005 actually claimed to be the number one in the world. Anyone who said that Xiong Xiaoge thought it was bragging. Capital is different from technology companies. In fact, Sequoia Capital accounts for 10% of the market value of Nasdaq.

But for some reason, Xiong Xiaoge believed the words from Meng Qian's mouth.

Xiong Xiaoge, who has seen countless people, saw an incomprehensible self-confidence exuding from Meng Qian. This kind of self-confidence is not only because he is the youngest rich man in China, but also not only because he is the youngest self-made billionaire in the world. , I feel that Meng Qian has other cards that make him extremely confident.

Xiong Xiaoge came to Meng Qian today because he knew that Dafeng Investment started to engage in corporate research and information publishing, and in this field, the American International Data Group is the world's number one. He wanted to rely on the strength of the company to talk to Meng Qian. Trying to cooperate with Dafeng Investment and even Dafeng Group, and use Dafeng Group's position in China to deepen the influence of American International Data Group in China.

Even, if possible, this opportunity can be used to infiltrate Dafeng Investment, but Xiong Xiaoge didn't understand why at the moment, just a few words and a disdainful sneer, and brought the American International Data Group to him. self-confidence was shattered.

In fact, this matter can only be attributed to Xiong Xiaoge being too good at judging people. He can indeed see whether a person is really confident or not, and can see whether a person has a real foundation or a false bottom.

Ma Yun has a saying that Meng Qian still agrees with now. Great negotiations don’t talk much, just listen there. In fact, Meng Qian thinks it should be observation. When the observation is almost done, maybe he only needs to say a word. That's enough, the final word.

Likewise, sometimes one word is enough to intimidate a person.

Xiong Xiaoge saw Meng Qian's self-confidence, and Meng Qian also saw Xiong Xiaoge's vacillation. In fact, when he mentioned Shao Yibo, Meng Qian knew why he was here, so he took the initiative to attack, "So Mr. Xiong wanted to come to me today. Are you talking about cooperation?"

"Well, that's true." Xiong Xiaoge adopted a strategy of following the trend, and then continued to tout the American International Data Corporation, talking about how big the company's resources are and how awesome the history is, with tens of thousands of senior researchers, etc. , and at the same time talk about the problems and troubles Dafeng Investment will encounter when it first enters this industry.

Meng Qian just listened patiently and did not speak. After Xiong Xiaoge finished introducing everything, according to the strategy before coming here, it is time to say that the American International Data Group can help Dafeng Investment to build a more complete system.

But Xiong Xiaoge was forced by Meng Qian to fail to say the word help, but was hinted by Meng Qian's previous sentence, which became the word cooperation.

"Cooperation, is it convenient for Mr. Xiong to talk about the cooperation mode?"

Meng Qian has inadvertently taken the initiative in his own hands, and Xiong Xiaoge has already realized it, but the problem is that he suddenly can't think of a way to reverse the initiative, Meng Qian is like an impenetrable wall at the moment

At this time, it is necessary not to talk about it at all, but Xiong Xiaoge is also quickly weighing whether IDG Huaxia will become the second eBay if it does not cooperate with Dafeng Group at all.

Although Xiong Xiaoge didn't know why such an idea popped up in his mind.

With a little bit of confusion, Xiong Xiaoge came up with a cooperation plan. The International Data Group of the United States and Dafeng Investment Co., Ltd. will conduct cooperative research, realize data sharing, and form allies in the investment field, support each other, and improve the utilization rate of funds. Of course, all cooperation Only in China.

However, Meng Qian's response was that he was not interested.

When Meng Qian wants someone or a thing, he can be very friendly, but when Meng Qian doesn't want someone or a thing, he can become impeccable, this is the current Meng Qian, A must have toggle capability.

Xiong Xiaoge left Meng Qian's room with nothing, and wandered downstairs in the hotel alone. He couldn't help recalling the research he had done before, about the investments made by Dafeng Investment before the establishment of Dafeng Investment.

Although many people say that Dafeng Group’s previous investment was to consolidate its position in the Internet, but now Xiong Xiaoge feels that something is getting more and more wrong. There were so many Internet companies in Huaxia before, why did Dafeng Group invest in those few companies, and why did Dafeng Group invest in those companies? The enterprises invested by the group are developing very well now.

Moreover, the companies invested by Dafeng Group are not only Internet companies, but also companies in many other fields that have grown rapidly in the past few years, and there are even some companies that others, including myself, thought would go bankrupt immediately, such as BYD.

The more Xiong Xiaoge thought about it, the more something was wrong. He took out his mobile phone and called Shao Yibo, "Yibo, where is he?"

"At the hotel, what's the matter?"

"Come out and have a drink or two nearby."
