Chapter 10: Changing the World
"Mr. Ren, is $35 billion a bit too much! Although I am very optimistic about your company." The person in charge of Sequoia Capital said with a frown.
"Attention!" Ren Hong suddenly emphasized, "When I say 35 billion, I don't mean XlouS! It just means the value of the instant online mutual translation product, the value initially shown."
"What? This is impossible." Li Taosheng denied on the spot.
Ren Hong glanced at both parties, and then said: "Everyone, now is the era of highly developed information sharing, globalization is the trend, the Internet makes the world more closely connected, and everything in the world is interconnected. What instant online mutual translation does is In the business of global Internet users, every Internet user who grows up is a potential consumer of instant online translation, because people are born with the need to communicate, and it is impossible for people to learn the languages of major countries and regions in the world. I want to emphasize one point , Instant online translation is a business for global Internet users. How many Internet users are there in the world now? 3.3 billion! Except for half of the 3.3 billion people, they only need to spend 15 yuan a month in their lives. How much can you calculate? Of course, My statement is not very scientific, but it also reflects the huge potential of instant online translation."
This is absolutely insanely big data.
"Dare to ask Mr. Ren, what is the valuation of XlouS, and whether it can accept the investment of Sequoia Capital." The person in charge of Sequoia Capital did not refute, which means that he indirectly acknowledged the huge value of instant online translation.
Ren Hong heard the words, paused, and replied calmly: "XlouS! Priceless!"
"Haha!" The person in charge of Sequoia Capital smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Ren, I admit that every company is priceless in the eyes of the founder, which is understandable, but then again, in this world There's nothing that can't be clearly priced, don't you think?"
"Indeed!" Ren Hong admitted, but asked: "I would like to ask if you have seen the logo of XlouS?"
"Haha! Mr. Ren is really arrogant." The person in charge of Sequoia Capital immediately laughed when he heard this. He had naturally seen the logo of XlouS.
XlouS: Changing the World
The first time he saw such a slogan, he just sneered and smiled.
Ren Hongdan asked with a smile, "Then, in your opinion, how can such a company give him an exact valuation?"
"If there is such a company in the world, it is priceless. Forgive Ge, I don't think XlouS is such a company, even though he has so much potential, there is no such company in the world. ." The other party replied peacefully.
"Haha!" Ren Hong smiled lightly, without continuing to argue about this topic, he said: "Let's talk about the existing products! Currently, the instant online mutual translation is only the initial version, that is, the text. Mutual translation version. The next version will add the mutual translation between voice and text. Although the difficulty has increased exponentially, it is only the icing on the cake, but I think it is worth it, and it is also a huge profit point, although version 2.0 cannot be compared with compared to the original version."
"What? Can you translate between voice and text?" The person in charge of Sequoia Capital said in shock.
"Is this possible?" Li Taosheng was a little unconvinced.
"Why is this impossible?" Ren Hong asked rhetorically, and the other party couldn't refute it immediately. Instant online translation has changed from impossible to possible.
That's the beauty of technology.
The heads of the two venture capital institutions were silent. This is indeed a start-up company that is invaluable, but its investment and return are somewhat different from before. But on the other hand, it is almost clear to invest in this company. It is almost impossible to lose money, with high risk and high return. Investing in this company has almost no risk, so there is no reward for jealousy.
"With all due respect! Mr. Ren, even if I admit that everything you said is true, but you do not have sufficient funds to expand, if you do not accept venture capital, I am afraid that your product will not be able to be effectively promoted for several years. You can't look at the Golden Mountain from the sky," Li Taosheng said.
The two sides talked for a long time without a concrete result. At this time, the attention of the three parties was attracted by the chatter and laughter from the downstairs.
The heads of Sequoia Capital and IDG Technology Venture Capital Fund twitched when they saw the young figure below.
I didn't expect Mark Zuckerberg to come here in person. Obviously, this product attracted him and proved how amazing the potential of this company is. You must know that the person who is attracted is the helm of a company with a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars. At this moment, both Sequoia Capital and IDG have made up their minds that they must share some benefits.
Ren Hong showed a faint smile after seeing this scene, "The person who sent the money is here."
Li Taosheng and the person in charge of Sequoia Capital didn't understand what he meant, but Ren Hong had already begun to order the expulsion, "Everyone, it seems that we haven't reached an agreement today, so let's change another day, I believe, as long as you have With enough sincerity, cooperation is not impossible."
The other party's words are obvious.
"Indeed! We are talking in detail another day, so don't bother." Li Taosheng said with a smile, he had long forgotten about Ren Hong's previous ignorance, they are all qualified businessmen, and qualified businessmen It will never go against the dollar.
"Ge is also leaving! I look forward to cooperating with your company!" The person in charge of Sequoia Capital also laughed.
Ren Hong nodded and smiled: "Forgive me for not being able to send it in person, everyone please!"
Seeing the other party leave, Ren Hong calmed down and walked into the classroom. The interior was quiet, and there was no sound of typing on the keyboard, which made Ren Hong slightly stunned. A roommate is looking at him.
"What are you doing? Turned into wood?" Ren Hong said.
For a long time, Zhang Han said with a look of admiration: "Boss! You will be my boss from now on!"
"What the **** is the elm head we know, the scholar who spends all day in the library?" Zhou Hui said blankly.
"This is simply a veteran who has been in the mall for many years, a generalist! There is no one!" Chen Kai continued.
As soon as Ren Hong heard this, he smiled and looked at everyone, "Hey, what you see is only the tip of the iceberg."
"$35 billion, I can't believe that XlouS is worth $35 billion after building a website with a few hundred square meters, a few computers, and renting a few servers! My world view is going to be messed up, when will the money be so expensive? Is it easy to earn?" Zhang Han said in a daze, as did the others.
"Okay guys, in a few days I'll be announcing something important to everyone, important to both of you and me, first to say hi to you, but before that, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg Grid is here, it should be on the second floor now." Ren Hong estimated and said.
"What? Zuckerberg?" Everyone was shocked again.
"The money is coming!" Ren Hong teased, then coughed dryly, his eyes glowing with fiery eyes, and said, "Okay! What should I do! Xiao Zha was in the dormitory when he founded Facebook, and Jobs was there. Apple was created in the garage, and we created XlouS in the classroom of Tsinghua University! Therefore, they are not unattainable, out of reach, and one day, our XlouS will stand at their height, or even surpass them! Because XlouS ..."
"Change the world!" The crowd shouted in unison. When Ren Hong's unique voice uttered these words, it seemed to have some magic-like charm, and all the people present were excited when they heard it. Ren Hong's performance fully possesses the characteristics that a company founder should have. Although he is only 19 years old, every time he talks with his subordinates, he can generate a strong centripetal force, which makes everyone so passionate.
