Chapter 1292 The Birth of an Empire (1)
Zeng Wangcai's opponent appeared, Bill Damn took charge personally, and the Weihu short video was launched.
The fight between this veteran richest man and Zeng Wangcai directly led to the death of Berg who had not yet graduated, and made it impossible for the Facebook that Berg promoted in the university to make any waves.
In January of the millennium, Weihu was launched. In February, the number of registered users exceeded 50 million, and in March, it exceeded 100 million.
Weihu successfully broke the record created by Duying Technology.
This is like the competition between the two short video platforms in later generations, but American investors soon discovered that the number of registered users of Weihu stopped increasing after exceeding 1.5 million, while Duoying had exceeded million users at that time.
In March, due to the emergence of Weihu, Duying Technology's listing was postponed and was not listed until this month.
......
Wall Street.
Zeng Wangcai came here again after many years and stayed in the hotel that Li Jiacheng had bought at that time. Now this hotel has become the most famous hotel on Wall Street, without a doubt.
There is still a legend circulating in the Wall Street world that a stock god once gave lectures in this hotel, and many people have made a fortune by relying on the lectures given by Zeng Wangcai at that time.
Americans also pay attention to luck and good fortune, so many people like to stay in this hotel for a while when they come here.
Zeng Wangcai was wearing an expensive Armani suit. After all, one should adapt to the local customs. Taiji had already prepared enough funds to acquire 30% of the shares of Duying Technology, so that the two of them together would own 85%.
"It's a pity that my friend can't come to participate in the bell ringing." Taiji was also wearing a neat suit, "But it doesn't matter, we can go."
Taj was talking about Yellen.
Zeng Wangcai knew that Yellen would not come. In fact, since his "death", Yellen has been staying on Worry-Free Island, not daring to leave the island for fear of being assassinated.
"It doesn't matter. Today we mainly want to meet Bill." Zeng Wangcai adjusted his tie and prepared to go out. "Bill's company is in trouble. He hopes to talk to us and create a win-win situation together."
"Jim, I really don't know what you're thinking." Speaking of this, Taiji was still upset. "Weihu is our competitor. You didn't agree to cooperate with him the first time. Why did you agree to meet and talk now? That pretty boy is not a good guy."
"Taji, you are a businessman, you should know that a monopoly in the market is not a good thing." Zeng Wangcai said, "Look, although I am an American now, my skin color and my appearance will make people repel me. When our company is profitable and big enough, people will cause trouble for us."
Taiji was silent, he knew that what Zeng Wangcai said was true.
The American government, or the financial tycoons behind the government, will not tolerate the growth of others, especially those who are different from them.
"What I'm worried about is that the pretty boy is also thinking the same thing."
"It doesn't matter. When he becomes a shareholder of Duying Technology, even if he wants to deal with us, he will be slower."
Faced with Bill's damn conspiracy, Zeng Wangcai agreed not for the above reasons at all.
Everything Zeng Wangcai is doing now, all the main and side lines, have only one ultimate goal, which is to make the American people the GM.
In the past few months, Zeng Wangcai's mind was not on Duying Technology at all. Instead, he took You Benhua and worked with people from his family who were lurking here to develop a navy.
Zeng Wangcai wants to do here what the Americans did in later generations in an even more extreme way.
In the end, the Americans were forced to take action against Duying Technology, and then what Zeng Wangcai hoped for could be launched.
Everyone came to the exchange together, and under the guidance of the staff, they prepared step by step, and then rang the bell when the time was up.
This was Zeng Wangcai's first time to perform this ceremony, and to be honest he didn't feel anything at all.
Duying Technology’s stock went public and then quickly went up with such rapid momentum that Zeng Wangcai became a new billionaire overnight.
Duying Technology has grown into a business empire in less than half a year.
On the night of the bell ringing, Zeng Wangcai and Taiji hosted Bill for dinner in the hotel restaurant.
"This is a terrifying achievement. You are the most outstanding businessman I have ever seen, bar none." Bill flattered her like a flood. "I am very honored to hold 5% of the shares of Duying Technology. This will be my most successful investment."
"Mr. Bill, thank you for the compliment." Zeng Wangcai raised his glass, "Let's celebrate the success of Weihu in advance. I believe Weihu will not be worse than Duying. I will also invest in Weihu."
"No, no, no, Tiger cannot win, this is the main reason why I came to you." Bill damn it, he didn't even hold up the cup, he said sincerely, "Others may not know, but we should all know that Tiger has a lot of registered users, but that's what I paid for. In fact, the number of people who use Tiger every day is much less than the number of people who use Win. I want to know the reason."
"Haha, Mr. Bill is so bold!" Taiji laughed, "Do you think such a core secret can be disclosed?"
Bill's damn face froze. He ignored Taiji and looked at Zeng Wangcai.
"I really can't say that. Mr. Bill, please don't treat us as fools." Zeng Wangcai put down his glass and said, "The reason why I agreed to invest in Weihu is that even if Weihu didn't exist in the market, there would be other similar software. I chose to cooperate with Mr. Bill because I hope that the two of us can divide the market and form an alliance to prevent others from coming in. If you invest in Dudu, I will invest in Weihu. In the end, we will both win. Who will have the last laugh between us and Weihu depends on our own abilities."
Zeng Wangcai's words made Bill feel relieved. He had been wondering why Zeng Wangcai refused the first time but agreed this time.
"Since Mr. Jim said so, then so be it."
Parting on bad terms!
Bill damn naturally would not expect to get an answer from Zeng Wangcai. In fact, his purpose in coming to Zeng Wangcai was the same as Zeng Wangcai's, which was to join forces.
If Bill Gates could hire someone to make Weihu, then other capitals can naturally hire someone to imitate other software.
The two leading companies occupy the market and then fight to the death, which may eventually give other software the opportunity to rise. So it is agreed that no matter how the first and second companies fight, if a third company comes out, the third company will definitely die first.
This is just like the fight between Wanglaoji and Jiaduobao in later generations, and then Heqizheng disappeared. After Heqizheng disappeared, the two companies fought to the death.
Of course, as I said before, Zeng Wangcai’s purpose in doing this is not to make money, but to cause trouble.
It has been quite a while since Zeng Wangcai faked his death. What surprises Zeng Wangcai is that the international situation is very calm and the Americans have not taken any action, just like before.
But Zeng Wangcai could feel the undercurrent. When Yang Mingyuan contacted him, he said that something was not normal.
Duying Technology went public in March and its stock price has been rising ever since. Now it is Bill's damned Tiger's turn to worry about the listing time.
Late March, Silicon Valley Weihu headquarters.
Bill, who had been watching here, suddenly welcomed a special guest - the chief engineer of Duying Technology, Bi Qi.
Bill's team couldn't find the secret to their success, so Bill spent a lot of money to poach Zeng Wangcai, just like Lei Jun.
And this Biqi just happens to be in charge of the next activity that Duying is going to launch online.
