"foreign."

Xiaoma insisted on the railway line: "Venture investment is not only available in China, but also has a wider channel abroad and a larger market. No one in China is optimistic about it and cannot raise money. We will take the overseas route and go abroad to raise funds.

The Internet boom in the United States is rising and investment is active. We are also doing the Internet. If you find a few more venture capital firms, you won’t be able to raise money if you don’t believe it.”

Zhang Zhidong's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope again. He was working on the Internet, and he also heard about the Internet boom in the United States.

There are countless examples of active investment and countless hot money. Just a single idea can easily raise large investments.

Although Tencent’s situation is not good, compared with its peers who only have creativity and have not yet started to implement it, the situation is much better. How can we raise money?

It doesn't take too much, just one million dollars, they can keep going.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt at ease, Zhang Zhidong said in a deep voice: "That's right, then let's go overseas and go abroad to raise funds."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from outside the office.

"My God, did you see the news? US stocks plummeted last night."

"I saw that the Internet stocks fell a lot, and even giants like Cisco and Microsoft were not spared. Nasdaq is about to collapse."

"The Internet has been hot for so long, is it going to start to cool down?"

In the office area, a group of employees were talking.

In the office, Xiaoma and Zhang Zhidong's hearts were stuttering at the same time, and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped their hearts.

Not that in awesome, right?

They were just about to take the overseas route and go abroad to raise funds, but the US Internet began to collapse?

Do you want to be so unlucky?

Xiaoma didn't dare or wanted to believe it, so she hurriedly went online to verify it herself, climbed over the wall to the external network, and her heart became colder the more she browsed.

The plunge in US stocks is true!

Internet stocks have collectively plummeted, and the Internet bubble that has accumulated for several years has now really burst.

The cold winter of the Internet is coming!

Zhang Zhidong also saw it, his face was pale and his heart was bitter. He could not find investors in China and he wanted to try his luck abroad. But who would have thought that as soon as he had an idea, the US Internet bubble burst and the cold winter came. Needless to say, this road was basically cold.

You just want to say how unlucky it is.

"Are we really going to be doomed this time?" Zhang Zhidong said with a wry smile.

Xiaoma was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "No, it's not yet. Until the last moment, you can't give up nothing."

"But the Internet bubble has burst, where can we go to raise money? Who can help us?"

"There's another person."

"who?"

"Computer Yingke, Li Zekai and Mr. Li." Xiao Ma said in a deep voice.

The last time I had no way to raise funds, it was because the little superman knew the keen eyes. He resolutely invested $2.2 million to help him solve the financial crisis, which was considered his mentor.

He is now in a desperate situation again, and he still has no way to raise funds. The situation is exactly the same as last time. He only hopes that Superman can resolutely invest his money this time just like last time to help him survive the difficulties.

Zhang Zhidong frowned slightly and hesitated: "Mr. Li? In this situation, even Mr. Li is willing to help us, right?"

"Whether you want to or not, you have to ask for it. If you ask for it, there will be a chance. If you don't ask for it, then there will be no hope at all." Xiao Ma looked firm and picked up his cell phone and called Li Zekai.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Pony. The company has some problems. The funds are tight now and I urgently need money to support it. Don't need too much. Just one million, no, 500,000 US dollars is enough. Can you..."

As soon as the phone was connected, Xiaoma directly explained the purpose of the trip, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zekai:

"Is it just something wrong? Pony, I know the situation. QQ has emerged in the social field recently. The user scale, number of online users, and all data have been completely surpassed by QQ. OICQ's performance is so poor. Do you think I can still invest money?"

"Mr. Li, the situation is indeed not very good now, but this is only temporary. As long as there is financial support, when we make a new version, the product functions catch up with QQ, and the performance will definitely catch up. You can consider it again." Xiaoma said earnestly.

Li Zekai was unmoved and said lightly: "I don't know if you heard that the market in the United States is not very good now. Internet stocks have fallen collectively, and the enthusiasm of the Internet has begun to dissipate. When it's time to let go, you have to let go. Wake up Pony and stop being persistent."

"Mr. Li, I'm very sober. I believe that the Internet will definitely have a future. Please consider it again...Mr. Li, Mr. Li?"

Xiaoma begged urgently, but Li Zekai hung up the phone impatiently.

Listening to the busy voice coming from the phone, Xiao Ma's face instantly felt ashamed.

despair!

Deep despair!

The first boy who was optimistic about him now chose to ignore it. The last glimmer of hope was also shattered, which was basically equivalent to verdicting him to death.

There is insufficient technology, shortage of funds, and investors abandon it. The Internet winter is approaching, and multiple pressures are coming. He is so stressed that he can't breathe. Even if he is unwilling to accept it, he is really a little weak this time.

Looking at his expression, Zhang Zhidong could guess that his idea of ​​asking Li Zekai for help must have failed again.

He was not too surprised when he patted Xiao Pang on the shoulder and sighed and comforted:

"It seems that we should be so lucky. Don't be too disappointed. The company still has some money on its account. It may not be enough to continue developing a new version, but it is still okay to keep it for a while.

If you don’t want to give up, then we will persist and wait and see.”

Xiaoma had not recovered yet and ignored her and did not answer.

Zhang Zhidong sighed and said no more: "You think about it yourself and let me know if there is a result."

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

In the office, Xiaoma was left alone sitting in a daze.

Do you still have to persist?

There is a gap between technology and QQ. If you don’t have money to research and development to make up for the shortcomings, even if you persist, it will be a waste of money and will eventually be futile. What’s the point?

But if you give up...

A company that is built by one is really a bit reluctant to let go!

After living so much and starting a business for more than two years, this is the first time Xiaoma is in such a complicated mood as she is now. She sits in her seat wither from morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, and sits wither for a whole day, and hesitates for a long time.

Zhang Zhidong came and left, and then came and came again. After a while, he came to see him, one was waiting for his answer, and the other was also worried about his current state.

But every time he returned without success, until the afternoon after get off work, he came over again. He thought he would return without success again, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, he heard Xiao Ma say:
Chapter completed!
