"Then it's not enough to just a fool-like Internet application. You have to explain how far we can get in the future and how much return we can get when investing in this Yangyi culture. The business survey report can be discussed in the future and eyes of the company, but I don't see much of the benefits of iHG."

"You haven't read it carefully, right? Just because it was an investigation report against Chinese Internet companies?" Stephen unceremoniously exposed his old friend.

He also knew very well about Martin. This old friend had countless shortcomings - laziness, no sense of responsibility that matched his status, and sometimes showed obvious arrogance. But all these problems became no longer a problem in the face of this guy's almost terrifying investment intuition. It was precisely because the other party's previous investment projects have all obtained very good returns, while the projects that have not been passed have either a bleak future or a mediocre development, so that they have firmly settled into the position of the company's executive president.

Otherwise, just because of his small shortcomings, it would be enough to be regarded as dereliction of duty by the company's board of directors and would be kicked out of the iHG fund directly.

"Well, you just need to know some things. You don't need to make even the groundhog in my backyard know." Martin's mouth curled up and felt a little disgusted. Then he waved his hand as if the question he said was really not important at all. But in order to extinguish the feeling that his old friend was already a little angry, he could only start to be serious: "So, you value the Internet far away in China... No, it should be said to be a cultural company? To be honest, they give me the feeling. I mean a cultural company's behavior of a cultural company in the Internet field, which made me feel that they were the same as us. They were also optimistic about a certain product in the Internet, so they were willing to spend a lot of effort. If they didn't do the things they were optimistic about by themselves, but no matter what, since you insisted, I promise you that you would read and think about that proposal."

"Okay, this is what you said. Don't wait for me to find you the second time. When you want to talk about investing in Yangyi Culture, you still have the current attitude. I will submit an impeachment to the company's board of directors!" Stephen was already helpless. In the past some disputes or just small differences, the one who ended up losing is always him, not the other party.

"You won't." Martin continued to shake his head with a smile, but when he saw Stephen's solemn expressionless look, he immediately changed his words: "Okay, okay, I said I would look at your proposal carefully, and I will definitely look at it seriously. And even if you submit the impeachment against me, those old men on the board of directors will not pass it."

He himself is also very clear. His sense of smell in business, especially the Internet business field is so accurate and keen. If it were not for the bottom line of the fund controllers, then his position as the executive president would be almost impossible to be shaken. And then again, although the previous investments have seen results and even achieved renewal returns, the classic investments that truly make iHG famous in one battle have never appeared. Although Martin himself never said this, he was unwilling to give up in his heart. The repeated persistence of his friends, his optimistic view of the Chinese company can even be regarded as persistence, and he began to develop certain interests.

Although my old friend does not have the terrible prospects of his investment direction, he is an investor who can calm down and do his homework seriously. The projects they are optimistic about may not make a big splash, but they will definitely not fail too much.

At this point, the result of Martin, the executive president of ihg Fund, became interested in Yangyi Culture. One day later, he urgently summoned the head of the investment department head led by Stephen, and cooperated with the members of the company's public relations department to complete the formation of a contact team within one day, and then explained to the team a series of issues that need to be paid attention to when contacting Yangyi Culture: "Listen, gentlemen, this time your contact person is Chinese people who have never dealt with before. Although the philosophy of these oriental people's life is very different from ours, in the market, some situations are generally similar, so I don't have much to explain. I only have one task that must be completed for you, that is, investing in Yangyi Culture, or to be more precise, the person who dominates the Internet navigation business in Yangyi Culture."

As Stephen said, after carefully reading Yangyi Culture's strategy and layout in the Internet field, and a series of policies that are being implemented, what Martin noticed at the first time was not the search engine that is currently a high-tech project in Silicon Valley, but the web navigation business that seems to be a 100,000 miles apart from the search engine, but the kernel technology is a thousand miles apart. To develop an Internet search engine that everyone praises, only a wealthy investor, a number of programmers who have some experience in this field, a good architect, and patient research and development, and continuous improvement, can almost meet the requirements.

If you want to create an excellent navigation page that meets the needs of most caigu netizens and allows them to see the fun of the Internet, the hardware required includes human resources, which may only be one-tenth of the research and development of search engines, or only one-twentieth. But in addition to abandoning material conditions, what is more important is the guy who takes out the navigation page product. His eyes are the most terrifying thing, and it is also the most excellent resource that investors are most rushing to, and it is almost a unique resource.

It is precisely because of this that Martin specifically explained that the focus of investment should be placed on the person who presided over the development and operation of Yangyi Network Navigation Page, rather than Yangyi Culture itself.

"Mr. President, from your request, I feel that you have a lot of appreciation for the guy you have not met yet. If that's the case, why not offer a condition that the other party can't refuse and then take him to Silicon Valley?" When talking about business, Stephen would not directly call the other party's name like privately, but instead call him Mr. President like other colleagues.

"Because you didn't notice a problem. The world's largest Internet market is not here, nor is it already rotten and aging Europe, but the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Just imagine their population, damn, it's a terrifying 1.3 billion. When these people first came into contact with the Internet, you guess what impact they will have on the entire Internet industry?" Martin spread his hands exaggeratedly, but the employees of ihg have long been familiar with his personal style, so they can focus on his narrative: "Chaos, disorder, no copyright awareness, but it's another big cake that looks very mouth-watering. Faced with such a big cake, we as guests do not know how to get the largest piece. Only those who witnessed the cake making process can. So the person who took out such a navigation page in China is a genius, but after coming to our Citi, he was a perfect fool."

After saying this, the people below understood more or less, and then started their respective work.

Their work is naturally to contact the senior leaders of Yangyi Culture, express their interest in Yangyi Culture investment, and to win this investment task without any surprise.

The day after Martin issued his investment intention, Stephen brought his team to the headquarters of Yangyi Culture in the Magic City.

"Seven years ago, when the iHG fund was established on Wall Street, all the senior management, including me, who had just participated in the establishment of the fund, held a meeting that was most important and set the tone of our iHG. All the partners were present, and some managers who had joined the fund were also able to listen. At the meeting, in addition to determining the iHG investment style, there was also the most important strategic resolution at the end, which was to focus on the Internet field. In the next six years, we implemented the iHG investment style, but failed to fulfill the dream of becoming a great venture capital fund. In addition to being a distance from those giants in terms of strength, it was more because of our prudence. But this time, the company, from the board of directors to the market investigators in our investment department, believed that this trip to China would be a very pleasant cooperation and meeting."

When meeting Rogo Yang, Stephen took the initiative to stretch out his hand, giving people a calm and powerful feeling, which can give people a feeling that this person is trustworthy or that this person is very sincere. Of course, as an investor, you can generally show your sincerity, but you should never show a posture that seems to be inevitable. This will make people disgusted without realizing it, or make the investor temporarily reset the bargaining chips.

However, as a direct person in ihg's investment contact, Stephen has made great achievements and cooperated with Martin to acquire the absolute controlling stake in no less than eight companies in Silicon Valley. He is considered a tiger general of ihg, so he has his own opinions on how to deal with the occasion.
