Rebirth of the Wild Age

More than four hundred years ago, a Frenchman named Nostradamus once made a prophecy about the end of the world. He said: In July 1999, the sun, moon and nine planets in the sky will form a cross. At this time , a terrifying demon king descended from the sky...

Come on, you big liar!

But this does not prevent many guys who are full enough to spread rumors and make troubles everywhere, and the whole world is caught in the panic that the end is coming. Even Doraemon and Chibi Maruko-chan discuss the apocalypse with seriousness in their comics, and some manufacturers even take the opportunity to sell doomsday survival tools.

The end of the world will definitely not come, and the 50th anniversary of the founding of New China will be ushered in soon.

Song Weiyang himself was still here in the capital, and the Xifeng headquarters received a message that the province had confirmed that Song Weiyang, as one of Xikang's private entrepreneurs, would go to the viewing platform of Tianx Gate to watch the military parade on the National Day.

At the same time, the US Fortune magazine also wanted to catch the heat, announcing that it would hold the annual Fortune Annual Conference in Shenghai, which was scheduled for a few days before China's National Day, and even invited Chinese bigwigs Leaders participate. The theme of Fortune Annual Meeting is Let the world know China, let China know the world. As a well-known wealthy businessman in China, Song Weiyang is also on the invitation list of Fortune Annual Meeting.

When Song Weiyang was discussing the USB flash drive project in the R\u0026D center, the China Business Times announced the top ten commercial websites in China. Sina ranked first, and Sohu was dropped to the second place.

It is true that Sina's development momentum is too strong. Lifang Online merged with Huayuan.com in the United States, which allowed Sina to have both Chinese and American markets, and also set up a mirror server. The data of the Chinese and American websites are interlinked. At the same time, Sina is also rich and powerful. It has the platform of Stone Company in China, Morgan Stanley in the United States, and even has financial backers in Wanwan and Singapore.

The funniest thing is that during the financing period of Morgan Stanley, this old multinational investment group knew nothing about the Internet, and none of the group's senior management even browsed the Sina website. It was not until 10 minutes before the financing negotiation meeting that Morgan Stanley's top management found the project leader, temporarily supplemented their knowledge of the Internet and Sina, and finally knew for the first time what click-through rate was and what ICP was.

During the negotiation, the Sina team declared that the future strategic direction is to build a portal website. A senior executive of Morgan Stanley was silent for a while, and then quietly asked the project leader: I always think that Sina is an Internet company, will they build a new business in the future?

Portal website, portalwebsite, the first half of the word means door.

It's not a joke, the senior management of Morgan Stanley did ask this question, which shows that it's not just Chinese bosses who don't know anything about the Internet.

What's even more funny is that as the Internet knowledge of Morgan Stanley's senior executives has become more and more deep, their enthusiasm for Sina has also increased day by day, and they specially hired Wall Street magician Mary Meek to visit Sina. This female magician is a legendary technology stock analyst. She looked down on Sina, a little guy, and fell asleep while listening to Wang Zhidong's speech, because she had listened to similar speeches countless times in the United States.

Just half a month ago, Ma Xiaoyun led his team to climb the Great Wall, and one of them cried and shouted at the Great Wall: Why! Why!

Ma Xiaoyun was very unhappy working in a subsidiary of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. He was a shareholder in name, but he couldn't cash it out and turn it into funds, and he no longer had any right to speak. Therefore, he is ready to leave, ending this period of unsightly Beidiao career.

Ma Xiaoyun said to his six-person team: I brought you to the capital, but I want to go back. What I want to tell you is, first, you can stay in the capital, join Sina, join Sohu, join Yahoo, I will call Recommendation, it should not be a big problem, and the salary will be very high; second, you can stay in a large institution in the capital, your life will be very stable, and your salary will be good; third, you can go back with me to start a business, no one has a monthly salary of 500 yuan, 10 There is no rest day in a month, I can only work at my home, and we can’t afford to rent an office... If we fail after 10 months, we will go our separate ways. If we don’t fail, we will continue to move forward. You seriously consider three God, let me know if you decide.

These six people are all top talents, and their monthly salary is at least tens of thousands if they stay in the capital.

But after discussing with each other for three minutes, they replied to Ma Xiaoyun: Let's go home together!

Ma Xiaoyun asked everyone to take out all the money and only keep their own living expenses. Finally, they made up 500,000 yuan. He said: Let's make a rule first: first, we are not allowed to borrow money from relatives and friends. If we lose, we lose. , don’t make your parents come to me, then things will be complicated; second, we estimate that the 500,000 yuan will be used until October 1999, and if the money is used up and there is no income, it will be a failure.”

These people stayed in the capital for some more days, visiting the scenic spots everywhere, because they didn't have much time to play in the capital before.

On the eve of leaving Beijing, it was snowing heavily.

Ma Xiaoyun took his men to find a small tavern, and the seven of them drank and chatted, then cried with each other, and sang True Heroes in unison.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang, Ma Xiaoyun answered the phone in a daze, and heard Song Weiyang's voice: Hey, old horse, I'm in the capital, when are we going to drink together... Are you singing karaoke over there? I can hear the singing gone.

I'm afraid I won't have a chance to drink in the capital. I'll go back to Linzhou tomorrow. Ma Xiaoyun smiled wryly.

Song Weiyang asked: Where is it? I'll go find you now.

Ma Xiaoyun reported the address and continued drinking with his subordinates. After an unknown amount of time, in a daze, he heard the sound of a strong engine coming from outside, and then two figures walked into the tavern.

Oh, it's snowing so hard. Song Weiyang said, patting the snowflakes on his shoulder.

Come on? Sit down, Ma Xiaoyun was already drunk, his face was flushed, and everyone looked a little shadowy, he shouted, Boss, add two more bowls and chopsticks!

Boss Song! The other six people stood up and greeted.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, Sit down, all of you. Your eyes are all red. Did you just cry?

Everyone was silent, and one or two of them smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, Ma Xiaoyun should be regarded as the most lost time in his life, even more lost than when he abandoned the Chinese Yellow Pages. He asked weakly: Old Song, do you really have a future in e-commerce in China?

Of course there is a future. Song Weiyang said.

Yes, there is a future, Ma Xiaoyun smiled bitterly, Unfortunately, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous. I have walked for several years and am still standing still.

Song Weiyang asked: Are you going back to Linzhou to open a company?

Ma Xiaoyun nodded and said: Finally try again, if you fail, you will become a teacher.

Song Weiyang said: Is the money still enough? Do you want me to invest?

The other six people became excited when they heard this, as if they heard fairy voices in hell.

But Ma Xiaoyun waved his hand and said, Don't invest in me. I'm not sure about it myself, and I don't know how to make money. I'm afraid that your investment will be in vain.

Hahahaha, Song Weiyang laughed, Who hasn't failed a few times? How about this, whenever you run out of funds, you can come to me at any time. Ma, you are doing big things. I don't invest in companies, I invest in companies. You man. Stop talking and cheers!

These words moved Ma Xiaoyun so much, maybe because he was in the right mood, he burst into tears, held Song Weiyang's hand and said, Old Song, you don't know how frustrated I have been in the capital this year. You said that I am doing great things, but I don't even know what great things I can do. I will remember your love, and I will repay you when I have a chance. I will do this glass of wine first!

After drinking several cups in a row, Ma Xiaoyun used Song Weiyang as a trash can, poured out all his bad thoughts, leaned on Song Weiyang and talked for more than 20 minutes.

Suddenly, Ma Xiaoyun's throat choked: Ouch!

Fuck, throw up as soon as you say it! Song Weiyang was doused in vomit.
