Chapter 103 Oops, I was targeted by Lao Ma

"Sheng Chen, when we first met, you are younger and more handsome than I thought."

Ma Huaqian wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and has an elegant and easy-going temperament. He is accompanied by Lao Liu from Penguin Capital.

"Mr. Ma, first of all, congratulations to WeChat for breaking through the 300 million user mark. Kangaroo Express has also taken advantage of the east wind and is on the fast track. Thank you for your care."

Chen Heyu replied with a smile that in the two rounds of financing for Kangaroo, Penguin contributed both money and effort. Half of the credit for the current situation lies in Lao Ma.

"Sheng Chen, I'm serious. When the next round of financing is launched, Penguin will definitely support it."

Ma Huaqian adjusted his glasses, smiled slightly, and patted Mr. Liu beside him.

“Mr. Ma represents Penguin Capital’s attitude.”

Old Liu said seriously.

Penguin Group's core business focuses on social networking and gaming, but it has always wanted to get involved in emerging industries such as e-commerce, takeout, and group buying. After several attempts without success, it began to embark on the route of investment and mergers and acquisitions.

Kangaroo Flash Delivery and Berry Tuan complement Penguin’s shortcomings in the field of localized life, and Lao Ma attaches great importance to both companies.

I have always wanted to increase my shareholding ratio!

"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your support."

Chen Heyu fooled around casually. Now that there is no shortage of money, what kind of equity should be sold? After a few years, the best way is to either go public to make money or find a rich buyer.

Under Lao Ma's introduction, he quickly integrated into the banquet, met a group of Internet giants, and got his wish to take a photo with Zhang Chaoyang. The photo was forwarded to Luo Wenwen by him, making her laugh and cry.

"Mr. Chen, do you like singing?"

Boss Zhang asked in confusion.

“Does releasing an EP count?”

Chen Heyu said, when I was filming "Want to See You", I recorded a music EP. I heard Mr. Cai mentioned it once and the sales were pretty good.

After two years of silence, except for some loyal drama fans, many people have forgotten his identity as an actor and singer.

In the eyes of ordinary people, actors and singers are glittering positions, but in the eyes of capital, they are just pawns to make money.

When asked by others, Chen Heyu would even try to hide it, but when the soul singer was in person, he was happy to chat with her.

"Let's sing karaoke tonight and introduce you to some friends."

Boss Zhang became interested. He distinguished friends very simply, those who could sing together and those who could not.

Life is alive, spend it and cherish it.

As a Ph.D. in physics, he is also interested in the field of artificial intelligence. From time to time, he will ask about some professional knowledge, and Chen Heyu will answer it casually without thinking.

In order to develop Moss AI, Chen Heyu activated top skills in multiple fields. When it comes to professionalism in human-computer interaction and machine models, he is definitely a boss.

At the end of the conversation, when his blind spot was touched upon, Zhang Chaoyang could only pretend to be sleepy, squint his eyes and fall asleep.

"Young people don't have martial ethics, and they don't know how to give way to their seniors, and then labor and management will get it back in the evening."

Boss Zhang thought proudly and fell asleep after a while.

At 10:30 in the morning, a group of bigwigs arrived, including local venture capital institutions in Hangzhou. There were hundreds of people in the room, and their combined wealth was enough to buy a modern city.

At the opening ceremony in the morning, the keynote speaker was 48-year-old Teacher Ma. He was so eloquent that he could hold the entire audience by himself.

"...For the Internet, I am a bit old and I want to leave opportunities to young people. Next week I will step down as CEO of Ali and be succeeded by Lu Zhaoxi. I hope everyone can give me some sympathy and more.

Support and take care of me.”

Teacher Ma spoke eloquently for half an hour, from the Internet e-commerce pattern to the development of 3G networks and the iteration of mobile phone devices in the past two years, the Internet has begun to shift from PC to mobile.

This is another reshuffle of interests, and it is also an important opportunity. Whether it is on the APP side or on the device side, it will usher in a golden period of development.

At the end of last year, there was information revealed that 4G licenses would be issued by the end of the year, and the decision to increase speeds and reduce fees was confirmed.

"The great era is coming, opening the chapter of the golden decade."

Chen Heyu looked at Ma Yun who was talking eloquently and thought to himself.

After he walked off the stage, a veteran in the investment community came up and gave a summary of new Internet products and new tracks, and highlighted Kangaroo Flash Delivery and taxi-hailing APPs.

After hearing this, Chen Heyu went through his thoughts in his mind. Probably early next year, the online ride-hailing war will begin.

"This year we must sell off Didi Taxi's equity in advance."

He was thinking in his mind, mainly because he didn't want to waste money in vain. Wouldn't it be nice to invest in a few sane start-up companies if he had money?

There is no need to get in between Ahri and Penguin and spend money playing with them.

"I'll take a step back first, as long as you are happy."

Chen Heyu glanced at the e-commerce horse and the social horse. At this time, the relationship between the two was not so tense.

"Whoops!"

Zhang Chaoyang, in the front right, yawned slightly and slowly woke up from his dream. He turned his head and looked around, only to realize that he had fallen asleep.

"Whenever Lao Ma talks, I feel sleepy."

Boss Zhang curled his lips and found a good excuse.

Chen Heyu saw it in his eyes and felt happy in his heart. Zhang Chaoyang was worthy of being the earliest king of show-offs.

After work, the rest of the time is spent eating, drinking and having fun. He warned: "Young people should not work too hard. They may not succeed, and they may also harm their bodies!"

But the sentence "Young people should not sleep in and stay up late" was also what he said. He also boasted that he only slept 4 hours a day, but he ended up sleeping wherever he went.

As the first generation of Internet giants, they had no ambition to fight.

"He Yu, I just fell asleep? Why didn't you call me?"

Boss Zhang turned his head and complained to Chen Heyu.

"..."

Chen Heyu laughed. You were sleeping so soundly just now. Why did I ask you? Anyway, you couldn't listen to what Teacher Ma said.

The morning exchange meeting lasted for an hour and a half, and then entered the luncheon stage, leaving time for a group of bosses and venture capital tycoons to discuss cooperation.

"Brother Dong, nice to meet you."

Chen Heyu took the initiative to greet him. In the hall where big bosses gathered, Liu Dong was inconspicuous and looked ordinary.

"Hello hello."

Liu Dong held his hand and responded with a smile, but he didn't understand the young man in front of him.

The assistant was in his ear and whispered a reminder, and then he suddenly realized what he was doing.

I didn't want to come to this summit originally, but the e-commerce Ma took the lead. He didn't want to give face at all, but he couldn't stand the social Ma's lobbying and told him to go there and maybe he could get additional investment.

Jingdong's asset-heavy model was destined to be unable to make profits in the early stage, and it had to struggle with financing. It was not until 2014 that it caught up with Penguin and entered the first-level interface of WeChat, and the situation gradually improved.

"Brother Dong, let's chat together."

Chen Heyu was full of curiosity about Liu Dong. When he talked about the self-made bosses, he and Lei Jun were the real grassroots counterattacks.

Liu Dong smiled and agreed.

The two chatted animatedly, and Ma Huaqian smiled and walked over to join in. After Penguin and Jingdong came into contact, they already had plans to join forces to fight against Ahri.

Teacher Ma glanced here from a distance, quickly said "Sorry, excuse me" to the people around him, and then walked over.

All of a sudden the focus of the banquet came together.

After Chen Heyu sensed the subtle atmosphere, he looked at the two horses and instantly understood that he was being targeted by the old horse. No wonder he made a special call to invite him to this summit.

He smiled, pretended not to know, and had fun in front of the two bosses.

Since ancient times, only by standing in the middle can you have enough food and clothing. If you stand in line early, you will easily be regarded as a target.

"Little fox!"

Lao Ma secretly spat, someone who can build a career at such an age cannot be simple.

After thinking clearly, Lao Ma asked his assistant to make an appointment with Chen Heyu in private, and then Shi Shiran left.

He did like the kangaroo flash delivery!

After the luncheon, everyone returned to the room to take a short rest, and a roundtable discussion began at 2 p.m. to discuss the development of the Internet.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma of Ahli, do you want to invest in Kangaroo?"

On the way back, Zhang Nan asked.

"Did you see it?"

Chen Heyu put down his cell phone, shook his head, and explained: "Whether it's a penguin or a raccoon, if you want to swallow a kangaroo, you have to see whether I agree or not."

As the major shareholder with the highest shareholding ratio, as long as he stops selling his shares, no one can shake his position.

Not long after entering the room, Teacher Ma's assistant came to visit and proposed the idea of ​​having a private chat.

Chen Heyu didn't hesitate and agreed directly, intending to see what chips the other party could offer.

He also participated in the afternoon roundtable and spoke as the boss of Future Technology.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Heyu from Future Technology. In the past six months, our company's Moss Ai has initially completed project feasibility verification in domestic and foreign markets."

"...In the future, artificial intelligence will become a mainstream trend in technology. AI can create forms, PPTs, write a novel by itself, and automatically generate long videos and even movies."

"Of course, it will also become more powerful in retouching and painting, and Moss has verified this."

Chen Heyu said confidently, even though the people sitting below were all worth tens of billions, he did not feel nervous or timid at all.

"Sorry, let me interrupt. If the artificial intelligence that Mr. Chen mentioned can be developed to this level, what else do ordinary people need to do?"

A company CEO smiled scornfully, saying that this bullshit intelligence sounds like a trick to defraud investors.

Chen Heyu glanced at him and knew that talking about artificial intelligence to these people in 2013 was too advanced. Only when foreign countries made products and completely woke these people up did they understand the huge gap.

"Of course ordinary people will be released from complicated and repetitive work and invest their energy in other fields..."

As for whether some people will lose their jobs as a result, Chen Heyu cannot guarantee.

But he knows that even if he does not promote the development of artificial intelligence, overseas artificial intelligence research institutes will enter the domestic market with powerful intelligent software.

It’s better to take the initiative than sit back and wait for death!

Chen Heyu's speech was extremely professional, but it was not taken seriously. As expected, he smiled and walked off the stage, with only a few applauders.

…

In the evening, Chen Heyu came to a private room by the lake as invited.

"Mr. Ma!"

He knew that what was going to be discussed next was business, so he adjusted his title.

"Mr. Chen is a smart man and should have guessed what I am thinking. Then I will make it clear that Ah Li wants to invest in Kangaroo. I am personally very optimistic about this model. Can you tell me a price?"

Teacher Ma waved and asked his assistant to pour the wine.

"Purely from a financial perspective, there is no shortage of kangaroos at the moment. If Teacher Ma really wants equity, he can exchange it with Ahri's equity."

Chen Heyu responded calmly and did not hide his greed at all. If Ali was only willing to invest money, why not find Penguin or Gao Sheng, a venture capital firm with strong capital.

"?!"

After hearing this, Ma Yun frowned. He did not expect Chen Heyu to be so bold.
