Since 1983

In history, Ma Fuhao started again and pooled hundreds of thousands to start Ali.

In 1999, the first round of financing was led by Goldman Sachs and combined with funds from the United States, Asia, and Europe, with a total investment of 5 million US dollars.

In the second round of financing in 2000, Softbank, Fidelity, and Huiya Capital invested 25 million US dollars.

In the third round in 2004, $82 million was raised, of which Softbank took $60 million.

Boss Xu gave him a start-up capital, and if he wants to continue to keep the equity, he has to continue to increase investment. The investment is large, but the return is even greater, let Sun Zhengyi play tricks.

With the conclusion of the second computer expo, Times Venture Capital, Sohu and those capitals started the process of wrangling. After a period of tug-of-war, an agreement was finally reached.

This morning, the Great Wall Hotel.

Domestic mainstream media gathered here, as well as major financial and computer newspapers, as well as a group of blond and blue-eyed foreign reporters.

In the huge conference hall, the stage was covered with a yellow background, and a little red fox was furious.

The Internet developed rapidly in 1998, but most people still don't understand it. Traditional media has not yet regarded it as an opponent, but as a high-tech.

Later, with the rise of new media, the print media was still as arrogant as before, and then the days went by. Xu Fei worked for a newspaper in his previous life, and happened to witness its prosperity and decline.

"A few days ago, my daughter-in-law was crying to buy a computer. Let's buy it for her, so I can play games! I also found a notebook the other day, and I used it for stealing vegetables."

"What stealing vegetables? Your wife stealing vegetables?"

"That's a game, Sohu did it!"

"Sohu is very good. I often visit BBS, and there are many good materials for writing articles."

"Hey, I heard they sent people to the World Cup this year, do you have the right to interview?"

"Really, does the website have interview rights?"

It was rambling, no one knew what to do today, or didn't care. When the time came soon, Zhang Hu, Xiong Xiaoge and a few foreigners appeared and sat on the stage.

Compared with the calmness or confusion of Chinese journalists, foreign journalists are very excited.

They have met them many times in the United States, and every time they can set off a craze. Today's man of the hour, tomorrow's son of God, many legendary stories push the Internet myth to one peak after another.

"Thank you for coming, I have something to announce today.

From the day the Internet was born, the phrase "the Internet will change the world" has been widely circulated. Sohu has been established for several years and has been working hard for this goal.

Today, Sohu has the largest user base in China, the largest and most complete portal website, and the most fun virtual community... We think it's time to go a step further and show our presence to Asia and the world.

The people around me are representatives from IDG, Intel, and Morningside Capital. After a series of evaluations, Sohu.com is valued at 15 million US dollars, and we have reached an agreement that these companies will jointly inject capital..."

boom!

whispering sound!

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Foreign journalists are not surprised, and even feel a little childish. The domestic reporters were dumbfounded, and a figure echoed in their minds: 15 million US dollars! $15 million!

More than one billion yuan! Is a broken website worth so much money? ? ?

Instant breakthrough of understanding, because the Internet is not physical, a few people in a room, unlike factories can see the physical scale.

"..."

Zhang Huhu looked at the hustle and bustle below, and once again reached the peak of his life. At the same time, I shivered fiercely, and felt a pair of eyes staring at me indifferently behind me...

Can't be too floating, can't be too floating!

He took a few deep breaths, followed by signing with the representative. This was announced to the public, and Times Venture Capital still has some operations, but after financing, Times accounted for 39%, Zhang Fox accounted for 26.7%.

"Mr. Zhang, is it convenient to disclose your equity?"

"It's not very convenient right now."

"That's convenient, how much has your assets increased since you started your business?"

"There are hundreds of times and a thousand times."

Buzz buzz!

"What are your future plans?"

"The next step is to improve Sohu's various functions and vigorously develop Sogou Search. Sogou will exist as a separate company and provide comprehensive services centered on information and knowledge..."

The press conference had a huge impact.

Zhang Huhu became a star overnight, a pioneer in the Internet industry, a model turtle, and a young entrepreneur. He has the posture of a business idol.

This made a lot of people eager to move, why can't I be Zhang Fox's second?

98 is the new year.

In this year, Boss Zhou founded 3721, known as "my country's first and largest rogue software".

In this year, 163.net opened China's first free Chinese e-mail system-now it has become the second.

In this year, Dong Ge, who didn't know his wife's beauty, began to sell pirated discs, of course he himself said they were genuine. Brother Xiao Ma from an ordinary family also quit his job and founded Penguin with his friends.

In short, the wind and clouds are surging.

As for Boss Xu, Xiong Xiaoge and others, there is only one thing left: let Sohu go public as soon as possible.

………………

At the end of March, Beijing Film Studio.

In the conference room, director Chen Guoxing talked about the theme concept of "Born Out".

He debuted very early and did not have many works. After Han Sanping took office, he strongly supported him and asked him to shoot the main theme. Indeed, "Secretary Kong" and "Black Eyes" are masterpieces, as well as this "Born Out of the Sky".

After the narration, he looked at Han Sanping and Boss Xu anxiously.

Xu Fei asked: "How much is the difference in funds?"

"I applied for a part of the subsidy, and there is still a shortfall of six or seven million."

"Okay, I'll pay the money."

"That person..."

"Tianxia doesn't participate, it mainly wants to support good works."

Chen Guoxing was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

When he went out, Han Sanping asked: "Are you really not going to shoot this year? Can the higher-ups let you go?"

"Why don't you shoot it? Isn't "Born Out" just the same? What a great theme, it's just a gift for the 50th anniversary."

Papa!

Han Sanping already knew about the China Film Group, and subconsciously became closer to Xu Fei.

There was a Changsha meeting in 1996, and the Shunyi meeting in 1997, and this year there will be a meeting in Nanchang in two days, and he was asked to go by name. From this point of view, it is obvious that "Born into the Sky" was used by him to top the tank, so as not to be questioned by the leader.

This year, he will not shoot the main theme, nor will he shoot New Year's films, saying that there is no good script, and he would rather be short than excessive. Others didn't believe it, Xu Fei was wronged, why didn't he believe the truth?

The two chatted and made an appointment to go to a meeting together.

When Mr. Xu came out, he was thinking all the way, "The Sound of the Wind" started too high, and there would really be no suitable film for a while. Is "Born Out" any good?

good! But it can't sell at the box office and will be beaten by "The Wind".

It’s not okay to be too sharp all the time, the superiors will develop inertia and take it for granted that you should do a good job... And reform, how can you be cruel if it doesn’t hurt deeply?

This year? The big ship is here this year!

"Didi!"
