Reborn multinational giant
Chapter 414
As Dinesh shouted, several people looked at him at the same time, and Dinesh stopped talking.
Richard\'s eyes fell on Ehrlich again and asked solemnly, "Ehrlich, what do you mean we do the same project with them?"
"Even we do social software for strangers!" Ehrlich said bluntly.
"Well, it looks like it\'s plagiarism!" dinech repeated again. He didn\'t shut up until Ehrlich could look at him with murderous eyes!
The other two people who haven\'t spoken in the living room have the same idea as Dinesh at this time. Ehrlich plans to let them copy the Chinese project called Momo. How can he do such a job?
The atmosphere in the living room fell into a brief dignified. Richard, the nominal boss of the four, broke the peace and said solemnly to Ehrlich:
"Ehrlich, my team and I can\'t copy other people\'s projects. No matter it\'s worthless or, as you said, it\'s worth tens of billions of dollars, I can\'t copy it!"
"Yes, even if it\'s sleeping on the street, we can\'t copy others, and it\'s still a Chinese project!" Dinesh echoed.
"Oh! God! Don\'t be so stubborn. I only said to make the same stranger social software, but I didn\'t say that you had to copy it as it is. We mainly used its creativity for reference, and at most referred to its product prototype! Did I hit a plane and you hit a plane, you were copying me?" Ehrlich explained.
"You are sophistry, Ehrlich. I tell you, we will never do this project!" Richard resolutely rejected Ehrlich\'s proposal. In Silicon Valley, he despised entrepreneurs who copied others for money. In his opinion, such entrepreneurs have sold their shame and soul to Satan for money!
"Yes, we will never copy!"
"I will never copy from the Chinese!"
"Copying creativity is also copying. I can\'t do such a thing!"
Several of Richard\'s "men" expressed their support for Richard and their protest against plagiarism!
At this time, Ehrlich looked calm. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at several people. Finally, his eyes fell on Richard and said calmly, "either do it or go away!"
As soon as Ehrlich said this, several people who were just angry suddenly calmed down, and their eyes looked at Richard, waiting for his words and choices.
Richard fell silent. Ehrlich was the angel investor of their four person entrepreneurial team. Most of the expenses they spent on the project in the past two months came from the $200000 invested by Ehrlich. Even their current office is also the living room of Ehrlich\'s family!
Such a combination is very common in Silicon Valley!
Silicon Valley is known as the innovation capital of the global technology industry. There are countless entrepreneurial stories here every day. Every entrepreneur is eager to make great products, become the next jobs and change the world.
Innovation is not only the soul of Silicon Valley, but also the deep-rooted values in Richard\'s heart since childhood. Now, Richard feels that his values are being tested unprecedentedly!
Ehrlich looked at his expression and continued to strike: "Richard, this is your fourth project. Can\'t the painful failure of the previous three projects sober you up?
You are 29 years old now. Lucy left you because you achieved nothing. If you fail again this time, who else in Silicon Valley is willing to invest in you? Who will believe your nonsense compression algorithm? "
"Yes, who else in Silicon Valley is willing to believe me and believe that Richard can succeed? I thought I could change the world. In the end, I found that I can\'t even pay my own rent!" Ehrlich\'s words shook Richard\'s firm belief in his heart. He can\'t afford to fail!
The living room fell into tranquility again. Dinesh looked at me, I looked at you, and I didn\'t know what to say. A few minutes later, Richard looked up again at Ehrlich, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking red wine and other results, and slowly said:
"OK, I\'ll do it, but I have one condition. We\'ll temporarily close the project and find a chance to launch it in the future. In addition, if we do a stranger social project, we don\'t have enough manpower and funds. We need at least two people and 500000 dollars!"
On the sofa, Ehrlich drank the red wine in the glass and smiled: "money is not a problem, but I ask you to go online within two months at the latest. If you can\'t do it, I\'ll find someone else!"
"Two months? How about two months..." when Dinesh wanted to argue, Richard promised: "OK, I promise to put the new project online in two months!"
......
Things similar to Richard and others are happening in Silicon Valley and many parts of the world at this time. At Huizhong headquarters in Yanjing, Fang Zhe, who is listening to the report of Huang Siyi, head of Huizhong investment department, has long expected these things!
"President Fang, according to the information we learned from our overseas contacts, in the past three months alone, eight venture capital projects similar to Momo in Silicon Valley have received venture capital. In addition, there are investment activities of similar projects in London, Berlin and Moscow. I\'m afraid there are countless other similar venture projects that have not been invested!" After finishing the general situation of the global venture capital industry, Huang Siyi added:
"This time, we united with other large Internet companies in China to organize and hold the China Internet entrepreneurship competition. Although it was a complete success, the entrepreneurship projects ahead of the competition were also prematurely exposed to the world, especially in the eyes of many entrepreneurs and imitators. They lacked the time from 0 to 1 to hide their strength and build a leading edge. I\'m afraid these companies will have a long way to go in the future In the process of development, we have to meet many competitors and variables! "
Fang zhe smiled softly when he heard the speech. Different positions lead to different horizons and patterns. Huang Siyi is used to the prudence of start-up companies, but subconsciously ignores that behind the entrepreneurship competition are Huizhong and more than a dozen large Internet companies in China.
Fang zhe said with a smile, "Mr. Huang, only small companies are afraid of plagiarism, and large companies are afraid of innovation!
With the three-month publicity and training of the entrepreneurship competition, coupled with the resource support of us and more than a dozen large Internet companies in China, these companies that can be seen in front of the entrepreneurship competition will soon complete the process of ordinary startups from 0 to 1. That is to say, Momo technology is stronger than many companies in round B financing in terms of strength and influence.
Although this process is somewhat encouraging, it is escorted by us and other large companies. Their probability of failure is much smaller than that of ordinary start-ups!
Besides, how far can a startup go if it doesn\'t have the confidence and courage to beat the plagiarists?
There are only eight in Silicon Valley. If the whole Silicon Valley "learns" from China one day, it means that China\'s Internet industry has ushered in a brilliant and prosperous era! "
Richard\'s eyes fell on Ehrlich again and asked solemnly, "Ehrlich, what do you mean we do the same project with them?"
