C48 Swift as a thunderbolt

048 Thunderclap

The day after the hype ended, Lu Binqi excitedly looked for Wei Dongsheng: "IDG wants to invest in us."

IDG is the International Data Group. Contact Lu Binqi's IDG capital, accurately speaking, right now should be called IDGVC (IDG Technology Venture Capital Fund), is a well-known venture capital company. Hwa Country Venture Capital Ranking List. IDG was the top in 2001, and ranked third in 2002. The company it invested in was more familiar to the netizens. Investment with a sense of the times, such as Sohu.com, Tiantang Network, Golden Butterfly, 3721, 8848, and so on; to live to 2018 successful people, such as Tencent, Dang, Seeker, Baidu, Tencent, and so on.

Being able to invest in an IDG did not mean that they would succeed. The likes of Jin Die, 3721, 8848 were long forgotten by the internet users in 2017.

However, obtaining IDG investment is the recognition of the times. The future success of the journey, Dang Dang, Seeker, Baidu, Tencent, or the era's stepping stone Jin Die, 3721, 8848, are all established times. Spring and Autumn Network has been recognized by IDG and Internet industry, which proves that Spring and Autumn Network has been quickly integrated into the soaring information age.

On December 13, 2002, Wei Dongsheng registered with Spring Autumn Network and Spring Autumn Software.

On January 14, 2003, Lu Binqi told Wei Dongsheng that IDG wanted to invest in the Spring and Autumn Network.

In just a month's time, the Spring and Autumn Network had made a name for itself in the Yanjing.

In Wei Dongsheng's reservation plan, after Spring and Autumn Network successfully operates < Ten Kingdoms Spring and Autumn >, they should also follow the footsteps of the times and go to Nasdaq (NASDAQ) to list their money. In order to go to the Nasdaq to list on the market, it was necessary to cut the flesh and accept the venture capital cooperation. Whether or not we accept IDG this investment, it is necessary for Spring and Autumn Network to keep in touch with it, pave the way for the future ahead of time.

IDG is a large company, specific to each investment, often have their own counterparts in charge. Wei Dongsheng decided to maintain a contact with the IDG, and took the opportunity to ask Lu Binqi for more information.

Lu Binqi replied: "Yang Fei."

Lu Binqi then added on to the basic information on Yang Fei: "Yang Fei was originally the Minister for Distribution at the Securities and Futures Commission of Guangdong Province, and joined IDG in 1997. Yang Fei had invested in the internet and there were three famous cases. In the first case, he took part in investments in Tencent projects; in the second case, he dominated investment in Hui Cong, which is now planning to list in Xiangjiang; and in the third case, he dominated investment in Baidu, a well-known Chinese search engine in the country with a very promising future. "

Leading investment in Baidu, helping to invest in Tencent.

Wei Dongsheng didn't know who Hui Cong was. With just Baidu and Tencent, he had already painted a simple picture of Yang Fei in his mind.

Wei Dongsheng asked Lu Binqi, "What did Yang Fei say?"

Lu Binqi: "He inquired about your general situation in Wei CEO and then invited you to have a meal with him."

Wei Dongsheng nodded in agreement, "The Spring and Autumn Network will have to deal with venture capital sooner or later. "Un, do you have an appointment?"

Lu Binqi: "I'm not sure of your attitude. I will ask about your schedule first."

Wei Dongsheng: "Call him back, I have time for these few days."

Lu Binqi immediately called Yang Fei, greeting him politely before deciding to set a date for tomorrow night instead.

Lu Binqi was a distant relative of Jing Minqiang. Moreover, she respected Jing Minqiang more than Wei Dongsheng, and immediately reported the important news of the IDG wanting to invest in the Spring and Autumn network to Jing Minqiang. Jing Minqiang contacted Wei Dongsheng that night and confirmed with him: "IDG wants to invest in the Spring and Autumn Network?"

Wei Dongsheng: "Lu Binqi said so, however, I haven't met the people from the IDG yet."

Jing Minqiang: "Whether it's internationally or domestically, IDG has a strong background. You want to accept IDG's investment? "

Wei Dongsheng used an ancient language to answer Jing Minqiang: "In this world, not only do you choose your subjects, you choose your subjects as well."

Jing Minqiang understood the meaning behind his words and laughed out loud. "This sentence, was said by Zhou Yu for Lu Su when they were the Three Kingdoms."

Wei Dongsheng laughed and added, "It was also told to Liu Xiu by the horse."

This ancient saying was a well-known legend. In the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan, because of Zhou Yu's recommendation, especially admired Lu Su, and ordered him to go and invite them. At that time, Lu Su was just about to go to another place, when Zhou Yu immediately quoted a beautiful story between Fu Bo, General Ma, and the Han-Guang Wu Emperor, Liu Xiu, exhorting Lu Su: "In this world, not only do we have to choose our subjects, we have to choose our subjects as well."

In contrast to the current situation, Wei Dongsheng was using the ancient times to ridicule his current situation. IDG certainly has a deep background, just like the Western Han and Eastern Han years of heroes, can condescendingly pick the talent they think outstanding. Wei Dongsheng and Spring and Autumn Network were new recruits, and in front of the strong, they were like a fledgling Lu Su. Although their position was low, they did not have to rely on the IDG to serve them. Wei Dongsheng looked at the olive branch sent by IDG with a "Subordinate but also Selective Lord" attitude. If both sides could talk about it, everything would be fine; if both sides could not talk about it, it was best not to force it.

Jing Minqiang was noncommittal to Wei Dongsheng's choice, he only promised him with one sentence, "If there's anything you need, contact me on the phone."

When Jing Minqiang first saw Wei Dongsheng, she regarded him as his old love debt to Bai Huxian; but when Jing Minqiang saw the elementary form of < Ten Nations' Spring and Autumn >, he also saw Wei Dongsheng as a talented youth. After seeing Wei Dongsheng skillfully registering the Spring and Autumn Network and software companies, and using the agreement to divide the rights to < Ten Kingdoms Spring and Autumn > that were temporarily unable to be accurately defined, Jing Minqiang once again increased the importance he placed on Wei Dongsheng. He viewed Wei Dongsheng as an equal partner with the other entrepreneurs.

Equality and respect.

In Jing Minqiang's eyes, Wei Dongsheng was only a qualified entrepreneur.

However, Jing Minqiang had never thought that Wei Dongsheng would actually attract the attention of a venture capitalist, and one that was a big shot in the investment world, IDG. The venture capitalists were all a group of condors that couldn't benefit from the competition early on. For Wei Dongsheng's business to be chosen by IDG, he definitely had the hope of bringing about ten or even a hundred times the profits for IDG.

Jing Minqiang had to admit that he had made a mistake. Wei Dongsheng was even more powerful than he had imagined.

Jing Minqiang was busy in the south recently, he had no time to pay attention to the Spring and Autumn Network and the Spring and Autumn Software. Jing Minqiang calmed his mind and gathered the information of Spring and Autumn Network and the Spring and Autumn software. Then, he realised to his shock that the incident where the seeds were being downloaded into the God Equipment during this period of time was also a masterpiece by Wei Dongsheng.

After all, seed downloading was an advanced version of P2P technology, and behind the super high download speed was the rapid increase of pressure on the Hwa Country's backbone network. The market for seed downloads was less than a month old, but it was quickly enhanced by two topic events. When the market share of seed downloading is high to a certain extent, the flow of document exchange system of backbone network increases greatly.

China Netcom and China Telecom were the basic Operator. They were keenly aware of the burden that P2P technology placed on the construction of the network and their internal disputes gradually rose: "Do we prohibit this technology to maintain the efficiency of the existing network, or should we optimize the basic network in advance to prepare for the P2P flood?"

As time is short, the debate is still at the ground level and has not yet been put on the table of the leaders.

However, Jing Minqiang had already heard some rumors.

The flow of the document exchange system for the Seed Download God Equipment increased exponentially, the pressure returning to China Netcom and China Telecom; IDG had even set its sights on Wei Dongsheng, chasing after him to give him money. These two things strongly proved Wei Dongsheng's ability, causing Jing Minqiang to have no choice but to seriously think about his collaboration with Wei Dongsheng this time.

Jing Minqiang's mentality had changed.

On January 15, 2003, Wei Dongsheng led the way and met Yang Fei in a clubhouse as scheduled. Beside Yang Fei, there were two other youths. One looked to be in his thirties, while the other looked to be in his early twenties. Yang Fei and the other two had clearly received Wei Dongsheng's simple information, "Wei CEO is indeed young to the point where one cannot believe it". After Pi Jingmei finished his praises, Yang Fei introduced the two people beside him to Wei Dongsheng: "This is Zou Shenglong, who just returned from the United States. This is Baidu Senior Technical Manager, Cheng Hao."

They greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries. After a while, the topic of conversation began to deepen.

Yang Fei took the lead and spoke up for Zou Shenglong and Wei Dongsheng, "Before Mr. Zou Shenglong returned to his country to start his business, he carefully analyzed the ecology of the Internet and keenly sensed that there were no killer grade products in the tool market. Coincidentally, Mr. Zou was trying to develop a P2P based download software before the Spring and Autumn software released the seed download tool. You two heroes should have something in common. "

Zou Shenglong.

Download software.

With the two keywords added together, Wei Dongsheng suddenly recalled a memory that he had forgotten for many years: This Zou Shenglong and Cheng Hao should be the creators of the downloadable software, Fleeting Thunder.

The reason that Xunlei came to be the market leader in the downloading tools of Tap Beach is because of the popularization of P2P technology and P2SP technology. Earlier, when Wei Dongsheng investigated the market share of each downloading tool, he did not find any trace of Swift Thunder. It should be because Zou Shenglong and Cheng Hao had not officially released Swift Thunder. If that was the case, then wouldn't Wei Dongsheng have snatched away Zou Shenglong and Cheng Hao's fast track when he released the seed to download the God Equipment?

That was the truth.

At the end of 2002, Zou Shenglong had just persuaded his alumnus at Duke University, Cheng Hao, to start a business together. Cheng Hao, who was working at Baidu, often saw Li Yanhong's ordinary attitude, and gradually became ambitious: "Li Yanhong doesn't have a family background, and could even start a career, why can't I try it?"

Cheng Hao had even written his resignation letter. Day and night, he would research the direction of Zou Shenglong's business creation and discuss whether it was safe to enter the popular mailbox market or to keep a low profile with his sword. In the end, while Zou Shenglong and Cheng Hao were still hesitating about the direction of their establishment, Wei Dongsheng had already swiftly released the seed downloading divine tool.

Wei Dongsheng's success had provoked Zou Shenglong and Cheng Hao.
