Chapter 502: Angel invests in pig farm

On the highway from Shenchuan to Yangcheng, Han Songlin sat on the back seat of the car, gently massaging his waist; although his waist didn't hurt, he always felt like he was being squeezed dry.

He didn't know how to evaluate this matter at all. Tang Yan had called him all the way from Shenchuan for this matter.

Anyway, Tang Yan has been under a lot of pressure lately, otherwise she wouldn't have been so crazy.

Shaking his head, Han Songlin looked out at the highway on both sides, which was now approaching downtown Yangcheng.

Compared to Yangcheng twenty years later, the current Yangcheng naturally hasn't developed enough to see.

Just take the GDP, for example, Yangcheng is currently only worth 160 billion yuan, which is equivalent to the GDP of a prefecture-level city in the future western region.

Han Songlin didn't come to Yangcheng this time just to eat and drink.

He came to Guangzhou for Ding Sanshi.

Before this, Han Songlin had not even thought about it, and the pig farm had already been set up.

He had read about it in a mainland enterprise investment report from THC.

This time, when Han Songlin went to Xiangjiang, THC had expanded again, with the number of floors increasing from three to eight.

The number of employees had reached 400, and recruitment was still ongoing.

Tang Yan had already asked someone to specifically look for an office building. As for buying land and building a building?

That would be too much trouble.

The staff come from all over the world, and THC is a truly international company in terms of staff distribution.

THC is starting to set up branches all over the world.

At this time, the internet boom is sweeping the world and will reach a crazy point in the next two to three years.

Any company with .com in its name will be subject to all kinds of hype.

It's similar to the situation now, when everyone is entering the new energy vehicle sector together.

Before, only a handful of companies were working on new energy vehicles, and then a large number of players entered.

In the end, not many survived.

Many came in just to take advantage of the situation.

At this time, capital had not yet noticed the internet market in China. Within China, there were companies with capital to invest in the internet, but none of them would invest in anything like this.

Does anyone know that when ZZzoo first started, it wasn't doing email or games, but Chinese search?

When Han Songlin met Ding Sanshi, the guy was hunkered down with his entrepreneurial buddies, and didn't even have a decent office.

At this time, the Pig Factory was really in dire straits. No one could have imagined that the bespectacled, slightly chubby man in front of them would one day become the richest man in China.

This time, he probably won't have a chance. With Han Songlin in front of him, no one in the whole of China will ever be able to surpass him.

'Boss, this is Ding Sanshi, the founder of the pig factory.' Wen Yue's face was beaming with a smile. She had been urgently called by Han Songlin from the river in Yangcheng, and then told to find Ding Sanshi.

Wen Yue was completely at a loss.

Fortunately, Xinghai Group also had business on this side of Yangcheng.

Otherwise, Wen Yue would have come alone and definitely not found anyone.

Han Songlin: 'My name is Han Songlin, it's a pleasure to meet you.'

Ding Sanshi had the feeling of an idol entering reality.

Han Songlin!

The number one private entrepreneur in the country, he started his business at the age of 26 and built up the Xinghai Group in just five years.

The entire development process of the Xinghai Group is traceable, clean and can stand scrutiny.

At this time in Haguo, people like this are really rare.

At this time, many business tycoons in China were very low-key; they were even afraid to expose themselves in front of the media, for fear that their past illegal activities would be exposed.

'Hello, Mr. Han!'

Han Songlin shook hands with the other team members of Ding Sanshi again. The pig farm, which had been established for several months, was still a small and micro enterprise.

Big companies are not born big; they all start out as small companies.

Ding Sanshi looked a little nervous, constantly rubbing his hands together; when Wen Yue had contacted them before, they had thought they had encountered a fraudster.

Even when they agreed to meet with Wen Yue, they were holding out hope against all odds.

For Ding Sanshi, starting a business with hundreds of thousands of yuan of savings that he had planned to use to buy a house was already a desperate move; he had no choice but to succeed.

The first product they launched was a Chinese search engine. It was impossible to verify how good the technology was because there were so few websites in China.

Because there were so few websites, there was no market for search engines.

Without a market, there was nothing.

Why hadn't the domestic internet market boomed at that time?

Was it because there was a lack of talent?

No, it really wasn't. Universities in China had set up computer science departments one after the other, so there was no shortage of talent.

What was lacking was money!

Market?

There are only 600,000 Internet users, which is indeed a bit low.

However, in the future, the number of Internet users will increase explosively, doubling every six months.

To a certain extent, the market can be cultivated.

'Mr Ding, I saw the name of the pig farm in a report from the company, and the report spoke highly of you.'

Ding Sanshi was a little confused. Report?

What report?

Wait, it seems that I did receive a friend I met online before.

Nowadays, because there are so few people on the internet, it feels like everyone is connected.

On the internet, there is more harmony, and everyone gets together to discuss the new beauties who have entered the bbs, and debate whether they are pretty or not, or rather, how pretty they are!

So, the internet in the 1990s was definitely a paradise for some big shots.

If you say you're a woman, everyone believes you're a woman. If that's not paradise, what is?

I heard that Brother Ma once also disguised himself as a woman to arouse the interest of the young man in front of the computer!

'We are optimistic about the future development of Pig Factory, so we want to be angel investors.'

Ding Sanshi understood a little, and a little not: 'What is an angel investor?'

Han Songlin was shocked, and at the same time, a little confused; it turned out that at this time, Ding Sanshi was still a country bumpkin!

Well, at this time in China, there are indeed very few financing channels.

If you want to start a business, what is the biggest financing channel right now?

Borrow money from friends and family. This is how many people start their businesses.

If you succeed, everything is fine, but if you fail, you'll be in trouble!

You can't go to the bank for money.

As for looking for investors, that's also impossible. There are no investment companies in China that specialise in this.

Wen Yue explained, 'It's about making early-stage direct investments in start-ups with huge development potential. This is called angel investment.'

Wen Yue turned to look at Han Songlin and saw that he was not impatient, so she couldn't help but say more: 'Our boss really likes you guys, that's why he came here in person to talk to you about this!'

In fact, at this point, Han Songlin realised that he was making a big deal out of a small one!

In his memory, Han Songlin remembered that Pig Factory was very powerful, and he had even played the Pig Factory game. Although he felt that Pig Factory had various flaws, playing the game could make money, and the economic system in the game was also very well done.

For example, Fantasy Westward Journey is still in operation after so many years, and the prices in the game are stable and have even gone up.

This is no longer just a game!
