Chapter 193 Picking up two leaks
"Why are you drinking here by yourself?"

Xu Qingshan found a seat and sat down, looking at the old man who was pouring him glass after glass of wine, and asked with a smile.

At the back of the banquet hall, there are few tables and plenty of wine.

Just looking at this place makes people feel depressed.

"Hmm? Hello, little brother."

Wang Xing looked at the young man who sat next to him with drunken eyes. He thought he looked familiar, so he stopped drinking and was stunned for a long time before he remembered who he was.

"Oh, sorry, Mr. Xu, I drank a little too much, please forgive me."

"Wang Xing, you graduated from Huaqing next door."

Wang Xing sat up straight.

His hairline seems to be quite high, which makes the top of his head look very wide. In addition, his hair is short and has a buzz cut, so he actually looks a bit like a monk, but it fits his temperament of a science and engineering man very well.

"Senior, why are you drinking here alone?"

Xu Qingshan smiled and poured himself a glass of wine, toasting the man in front of him.

"Hmm? Didn't Mr. Xu apply to go to Peking University? My wife is from Peking University, so that makes sense."

Wang Xing looked a bit straightforward, and he was somewhat surprised by the way Xu Qingshan addressed him.

"Huaqing University and Peking University are one family. I almost went to Huaqing University."

Seeing that Wang Xing was curious about him, Xu Qingshan continued to speak with a smile.

"When Huaqing came to recruit me, I said I liked computers. Dean Qiu mentioned a senior who was admitted to Huaqing from Longshan No. 97 Middle School in 03 to study electronic engineering and radio. After graduation, he received a full scholarship from the University of Delaware. He started his own business in 05 and got a master's degree in computer science in . He was so outstanding that Huaqing would naturally recommend him."

What Xu Qingshan said was true.

When Qiu Yong was chatting, he actually mentioned Wang Xing, saying that he was also recommended to Huaqing University from Min Yue, and later became a little famous in the domestic Internet.

In fact, Wang Xing has had some fame in the domestic Internet since 06.

The campus network he founded in 05 was acquired by Oak Pacific Interactive due to lack of funds. He then established Fanfou in 07 and then Hainei.com.

It was normal for such a well-known person in the Chinese Internet to receive an invitation from Cai Wensheng when he returned to Ludao, but it was not normal for him to sit in the corner and drink.

"Then I'll be so bold as to call you my junior fellow student?"

"We are all family, just order whatever you want."

Xu Qingshan smiled and got closer to Wang Xing.

"What do you want to do here, junior? Listen to a story?"

"If you are willing to talk, I would certainly be happy to listen."

Wang Xing picked up some braised food from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, sighing as he ate.

"I wonder if you've heard of Fanfou, little brother? I made it."

"Of course there is. It's China's Twitter. I quite like using Fanfou to read what people are chatting about online."

If Xu Qingshan wants to get a piece of the Internet pie, he will naturally do his homework.

However, in his previous life, he only knew that Sina Weibo was the Twitter-style microblog that had the last laugh. He learned about Fanfou when he was looking for business opportunities after the college entrance examination.

Fanfou is actually quite well-known in China.

"I remember the last time I checked, the number of Fanfou users had exceeded one million, right? Even HP has joined, and I see that Teacher Danqing is giving advice on Fanfou."

"Then you must not have been on Fanfou recently, little brother."

Wang Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"If you listen to the advice of our senior, eat a few bites here and then sit back down, don't get too close to me."

Wang Xing sighed and looked quite old. In fact, he was only a little over ten years older than Xu Qingshan.

"Hey, senior, I'm a rebellious person by nature. The more you say that, the more I want to hear what it is about."

Xu Qingshan asked with a smile.

"Don't you know that all the servers of Fanfou have been shut down now?"

“Shut down?”

Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment.

Although he didn't know why it was suddenly shut down, after trying Fanfou a while ago, he actually felt that compared with several other similar microblogs on the Internet at that time, Fanfou's functions were more comprehensive and its UI was more comfortable.

"Well, they all stay away from me. No one dares to drink with me because they think I have offended the higher-ups. This meal is definitely not going to work."

Wang Xing complained in a low voice.

"How do you say that?"

Xu Qingshan's eyes flickered.

He came to see Wang Xing not because of Wang Xing's Fanfou. Fanfou has been shut down, which is more conducive to Xu Qingshan's plan.

"Oh, it's the same old thing. We only have 140 characters, and we can't control the comments made by users, right? But the higher-ups care a lot, and Fanfou is the best of its kind in China. The first bird to stick its head out will be shot. As long as the higher-ups don't loosen up, our server won't be able to operate."

Wang Xing complained.

After a few drinks, he told Xu Qingshan about the problems he encountered while cooking and the talks with the relevant departments.

As he was talking, he also told about his previous experience of building a campus network. Although the traffic was good, the cash flow could not sustain the consumption, which led to it being acquired.

Xu Qingshan understood.

"So what are your plans next, Senior?"

"What else can I do? I will continue to look for funding to support the company and pay my employees' salaries. I will come back with a better Fanfou."

"I've been feeling upset recently, so Brother Cai asked me to come back to Ludao and sit down. It just so happens that he has a friend on this platform who can help me make some connections, but I need to stabilize the situation of Fanfou first and get enough funds. But Fanfou was suddenly shut down, so where would I get the funds from?"

When Wang Xing thought of this, he felt a little annoyed again. He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it in gulp.

He didn't even think of asking Xu Qingshan to invest in Fanfou to help it through the difficult times.

If he had this idea, he wouldn't have complained so much just now.

Xu Qingshan observed Wang Xing.

It seems that Wang Xing has not fully realized the problem of Fanfou at this time.

"Senior, don't you plan to switch to other project areas?"

Xu Qingshan opened his mouth tentatively to persuade him.

"You're not trying to persuade me to give up Fanfou, are you? Brother Cai just said so, and you said so too. Sigh, the things we make are like our own children, can we just give them up as we please?"

Wang Xing shook his head, his face not looking very good.

It seems that he has been advised too much recently and is a little stressed, so his attitude is not very good when he speaks.

But Xu Qingshan didn't mind.

"If you want to try cooking again, I support you. But I went to attend an academic conference abroad a few days ago. I saw a website that I was interested in. The website is very popular abroad."

Xu Qingshan took out his business card and said with a smile.

"I think that kind of service type of website might be suitable for seniors."

Xu Qingshan seemed to be keeping the secret, not saying what website he saw. "After all, the national consciousness is different. We should be very careful about things related to speech, otherwise it will be difficult to manage. But if you are building a service-oriented website, you don't have to think so much. You just need to do a good job of content, service, and project, and put the benefits into practice. Maybe this type of website is more suitable for talents like you."

That’s all Xu Qingshan has to say.

"If you have figured it out, please come to me and share your ideas at any time. Let's discuss the development of new areas together. I am also very interested in this area. When the time comes, I will provide some of the funds and ideas."

Wang Xing frowned and looked at Xu Qingshan.

Although he felt that his wife's junior brother seemed a little unreliable, he still took Xu Qingshan's business card for the sake of face.

"I will make Fanfou a success. When I make Fanfou the leader on Weibo again, we can cooperate with each other."

Wang Xing said stubbornly.

He is still thinking about his Fanfou account which has been shut down.

"That's fine, but if it takes too long, I might meet someone who is just as suitable as you. I hope you won't let me wait too late."

Xu Qingshan patted Wang Xing's shoulder gently, then stood up and left.

Instead, he looks more like an elder leader.

His target has never been Wang Xing's Fanfou, but Meituan, which Wang Xing started to establish after his failed entrepreneurial attempt.

The foreign website mentioned by Xu Qingshan is Groupon, a group buying website for netizens established at the end of last year, which is becoming increasingly popular.

This is a very novel Internet business model both at home and abroad.

This model will set off a frenzy of thousands of groups competing in the country in the next few years.

But Xu Qingshan knew very well.

Meituan is not the earliest group buying website in China, nor is it the most well-funded group buying website in China, but it is the only one who has the last laugh.

He didn't think he had the energy and time to run such a large business and start from scratch.

So for Xu Qingshan.

Choosing Wang Xing is more important than choosing this business model.

Rather than being an Internet entrepreneur, he would rather be a speculator, or in other words, an angel investor.

However, he still has too little money on hand. Even if he wants to be an angel investor, his pockets will be empty after investing in one or two projects.

So you still need to make money.

However, Wang Xing is still immersed in the frustration of Fanfou at this time. It will take some time for him to accept that Fanfou has no chance of making a successful comeback.

Xu Qingshan was not in a hurry.

Because even if Meituan succeeds, it will take several years. This is just a leisurely move for him. As long as he can seize the opportunity earlier, it will be fine.

As long as he seizes enough opportunities, he doesn't need to worry about other things. He will have enough funds to support his scientific research empire without doing anything.

Holding the wine glass, Xu Qingshan has not taken the initiative to look for other people.

Someone seemed to see hope and came forward.

after all.

Mr. Xu even talked to a unlucky guy like Wang Xing. Although it seems that the deal was not successful, doesn't this also mean that Mr. Xu may still have money in his pocket?

The opportunity that Wang Xing failed to seize has now fallen into their hands, hasn't it?
Xu Qingshan did not refuse. He chatted with each person and accepted their business cards.

only.

Apart from catching the big fish Wang Xing here, Xu Qingshan didn't see any other high-quality companies that impressed him enough before the deal was concluded.

All I can say is that it makes sense that they ended up here.

If Wang Xing had not encountered the situation on Fanfou two weeks ago, others would not have avoided him. Although the seat arranged for him by Cai Wensheng was not in the first row, it was also in the middle.

He ran to the back because he couldn't stand being in an environment where no one took him seriously.

At this time, Wang Xing still had the seriousness of a science and engineering man and couldn't figure out some things. Even if Xu Qingshan asked him to build Meituan first, it might still fail.

only.

Just when Xu Qingshan was about to leave with some disappointment.

A skinny guy who had been observing Xu Qingshan for a long time came up to him. He didn't toast or say hello, but just handed Xu Qingshan a business card.

Xu Qingshan took it and glanced at it, then stopped walking.

【Haolu Information Yao Jianjun】

"Boss Yao? What are you doing?"

Seeing that Yao Jianjun was standing there in a daze and didn't say anything, Xu Qingshan simply took the initiative to ask.

He was familiar with this name. When he wanted to make a game before, Cai Wensheng talked to him twice and mentioned the current predicament of their game studio.

"I just saw you for a long time in front, and I came here to find you."

"Mr. Xu, I heard that you acquired a game studio from Brother Cai a while ago?"

Yao Jianjun went straight to the point and asked while staring at Xu Qingshan.

Although it was a bit impolite, Xu Qingshan felt the energy from Yao Jianjun.

"Yes, it's called Yamakawa Game now."

Xu Qingshan looked at Yao Jianjun.

Yao Jianjun looked a little malnourished, and his whole body was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, but his eyes still looked bright and he didn't look like an ordinary person at all.

"I heard Brother Cai talk about Mr. Yao. Mr. Yao previously founded the Webmaster's Home, which was very impressive."

Xu Qingshan praised sincerely.

It's not surprising that Yao Jianjun and Cai Wensheng can get along.

The two were the first Internet users to create personal websites, and both rose from grassroots.

"Yes, it's OK. I got the investment from IDGVC in 08. But now I don't take care of Webmaster Home anymore. I'm mainly working on games now."

Yao Jianjun was not modest but agreed immediately.

And judging from his expression, he didn't seem arrogant, it seemed like he was just stating a very ordinary fact.

"What's this, Mr. Yao?"

"Mr. Xu, I want to invest, 500 million for the first phase."

Yao Jianjun kept staring at Xu Qingshan and asked for investment right away.

Seeing Xu Qingshan looking at him with some surprise, Yao Jianjun continued.

"We at Halo Information are currently mainly working on web games. I have invested all my money now, and the project is still under development. If you are interested, you can come and have a look. I can give you a lot of shares. Everything is negotiable as long as you can pay."

These words were very blunt and not at all the style of this place.

But Xu Qingshan felt that it was inexplicably to his liking.

"How about we not be so anxious and sit down and have a good chat?"

"Okay, sit here. I'll tell you about our game, and then you can decide whether to pay or not."
