Not only the explosion of QQ, the number of Qiandu browser users also exceeded 200,000.

At the same time, the number of global online IP addresses reached 140,000 in a single day.

Up to 8000ip online at the same time.

If we simply count the Internet.

So Global Online is already the largest Internet portal in the world.

But it’s meaningless to compare like this, because now there is only one online company in the world.

Due to the increase in traffic, in order to maintain the access speed of the website, Qiu Baijun urgently purchased a batch of servers, which reduced the website’s delay.

At the same time, the agenda of building a data center has also been put forward.

Although the submarine optical cable project led by China Communications and the United States is still under construction, the two root servers obtained from the United States have arrived in Xiangjiang. Under the leadership of the Xiangjiang Communications Bureau, the Xiangjiang Internet Center was established. Xiangjiang Communications Bureau and China Communications are jointly managed, with each party accounting for 50%!

At the same time, in order to further speed up the network in Xiangjiang and enhance the network environment in Xiangjiang, China Communications invested HK$500 million to transform the existing network optical cables.

Although the export bandwidth for accessing foreign websites has not been enhanced, it is because the two root domain name servers are in Xiangjiang.

It is equivalent to accessing the website through the domain name address, and there is no need to go to the United States. This greatly improves the domain name resolution capability and reduces the load on international broadband.

But this is only temporary.

If Hong Kong wants to connect with the world, it still has to join the international wide area network, so that it can become a real Internet.

However, at present, when the submarine optical cable led by China Communications has not yet been completed, establishing a local area network in Xiangjiang can effectively increase the number of Internet users in Xiangjiang. It will not only allow Xiangjiang netizens to surf the Internet and access products under the Star Group such as Global Online, but also bring stars to the sky. to register a user.

This is just like what the mainland will be like in a few years.

Develop your own Internet behind closed doors.

Right now, Jiang Feng plans to do just that.

With the money invested by China Communications, Xiangjiang’s network broadband has been greatly improved, and the rates have also been reduced a lot.

If you connect to the local area network, can the rates be low?

It’s just that I can’t access foreign websites.

If you want to visit foreign countries, China Communications launches VPN service.

However, these are things for the next two months.

At present, the explosion of global online and QQ has attracted the attention of a group of capital……

People feel refreshed when happy events occur.

The number of users of the company’s products has increased dramatically.

Although the company is not making a penny now, it is spending tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars every day.

But looking at the increase in the number of users, Qiu Baijun and Lei Jun were in high spirits, and there was no sign of worries about burning the company’s funds.

After all, with Jiang Feng, a super rich man, what do they have to worry about. this day.

While discussing company matters with Lei Jun, the secretary knocked on the door and came in and said:”Mr. Qiu, Mr. Lei, two people claiming to be Sequoia Capital investment manager Puchengren are visiting.”

“Sequoia Capital?”

Qiu Baijun and Lei Jun were both stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other. After pondering for a while, Qiu Baijun said slowly:”I understand. You arrange for them to go to the living room first, and I will go there later.”

“Good summary.”

The charming secretary walked out slowly with charming steps.

“What do you mean when you say Sequoia Capital is coming at this time?”Qiu Baijun lit a cigarette and asked with a puff of smoke.

Sequoia Capital is an internationally renowned venture capital fund, and both of them have heard of it.

Lei Jun smiled slightly and leaned on the sofa with a relaxed expression. He said slowly:”What else could it be? They are probably interested in our project and want to invest.

Qiu Baijun nodded,”Then do you want to contact me?””

If it were his own company, Qiu Baijun could make the decision, but the real boss of the company is Jiang Feng, and the two of them are just professional managers in front. To put it simply, they are just Jiang Feng’s white gloves.

He doesn’t know whether he should accept this kind of thing

“Contact, why not contact. Lei

Jun said with a smile,”Contact does not mean that we agree to their investment. We can find out what the valuation of our project is in their minds. Do you think it is correct?””

“That’s it…”

Please let Baijun’s eyes light up.

He also wanted to know how much Star Sky Group was worth in the minds of these venture capital companies.

Thinking of this, Qiu Baijun said to Lei Jun:”Should you go to receive it, or should I go?”

“Let me go.”

Lei Jun stood up, relaxed his muscles and bones, and said with a smile:”You’d better not show up yet, let me go meet this person from Sequoia.”

“That’s fine.”

Qiu Baijun nodded……. living room.

Lei Jun, who was dressed in formal attire, opened the door, looked at the two people in the room, smiled, stretched out his hand, and said politely:”Hello, I am Lei Jun of the Star Group.” The leader, wearing glasses, is about thirty-seven years old. The eight-year-old man laughed when he heard this:”Hello Mr. Lei, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet me! I never thought that Mr. Lei is so young! I am Puchengren, the investment manager of Sequoia Capital!”

“Hello, please take a seat! After Lei

Jun shook hands with the other party, he made a”please” gesture.

Pu Chengren, who was sitting down, looked at Lei Jun and said with a smile:”I am very impressed by your company’s wonderful performance at the science and technology expo and the depiction of the Internet.” I agree with the blueprint very much”

“Only then is the real Internet”

“Although I am not engaged in technology research and development, I admire technology most! It’s time for your company to open up the market. Expansion will definitely require burning funds. I guess it’s inevitable that the finances will be a little tight….”

Lei Jun smiled and was noncommittal.

Puchengren said bluntly:”In the past week, I have been studying the instant messaging QQ software, Qiandu Search and Qiandu Browser launched by your company. I have to say that these products are really good….Sequoia Capital is willing to contribute to the promotion of these good products.

Lei Jun said with a smile:”According to your words, Sequoia is planning to invest in Star Group?””

“good.

Puchengren nodded and said with a smile:”Sequoia is indeed interested in investing.””

“I wonder how much money Sequoia plans to invest? Or how many shares do you plan to hold?”Lei Jun asked with a smile.

Seeing Lei Jun smiling, he did not express welcome to Sequoia’s investment.

This made Pu Chengren a little unsure of Lei Junzhen’s thoughts.

However, he still chose to tell the investment plan,”According to From our understanding of several websites and software owned by your company, if we look at the current growth rate, we can conservatively estimate that before May of 1993, there were about 500,000 users of global online websites! The Investment Department believes that Global Online’s valuation is around US$5 million, and QQ’s valuation is US$1 million. Although QQ is a very good software, we have not yet seen its value, or to be precise, its profit value….Qiandu browser and search, valued at US$6 million, Penguin Mailbox valued at US$1 million”

“Therefore, our total valuation of Star Group is US$13 million, and Sequoia is willing to invest US$4 million, accounting for 30.7% of the shares.”

After putting forward the conditions instructed by Sequoia executives, looking at Lei Jun again, I saw that he was still calm and composed.

Pu Chengren suddenly felt a sense of frustration, as if the person facing him was not a young man in his twenties, but a young man in his twenties. And the middle-aged people who are about to reach their prime of life

“Condition is good.”

Lei Jun smiled slightly.

He changed the topic and said,”However, I think our company is not short of funds at the moment, so we can only accept Sequoia’s kindness.”

With that said, Lei Jun stood up, smiled and said to Pu Chengren:”If one day Xingkong is really short of money, I will consider your suggestion.

Pu Chengren frowned, looked at Lei Jun’s sincere face and asked,”Really?” Mr. Lei really doesn’t think about it? You know, four million US dollars in funding is extremely important to early Internet companies. I think my company has shown great sincerity!”

Lei Jun smiled and said nothing, and the implication was obvious.

Helpless, Pu Chengren had no choice but to stand up, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lei Jun:”If Mr. Lei changes his mind, you can call me at any time!”

“OK! I will definitely consider it!”

Lei Jun shook hands with the other party, watched the other party leave, and smiled slightly.

Then he turned around and came to Qiu Baijun’s office and told Qiu Baijun the news.
