Reborn multinational giant

As Dinesh shouted, several people looked at him in unison, and Dinesh no longer spoke.

Richard set his eyes on Ehrlich again, and asked solemnly: "Ehrlich, can you make it clear, what does it mean that we do the same project with them?"

"Even we do social software for strangers!" Ehrlich said straightforwardly.

"Well, it looks like it's plagiarism!" Dinesh babbled again and again, until Ehrlich looked at him with murderous eyes, he shut his mouth again!

The other two people who had not spoken in the living room had the same idea as Dinesh at this time. Ehrlich intends to let them copy this Chinese project called Momo. How could he do such a job?

The atmosphere in the living room fell into a brief dignity. As the head of the four, Richard broke the silence and said solemnly to Ehrlich:

"Ehrlich, my team and I are absolutely impossible to copy other people's projects, no matter if it is worthless or worth tens of billions of dollars as you said, I can't copy it!"

"Yes, even if it is Sleeping Street, we are absolutely impossible to copy others, and it is still a Chinese project!" Dinech echoed.

"Oh! God! Don't be so mind-blooded, OK? I only said to make the same social software for strangers, but I didn't say that you have to copy it as it is. We mainly use its creativity for reference, at best. Prototype of the product! Could it be that I flew a plane and you flew a plane, you are copying me?” Ehrlich defended.

"You are arguing about Ehrlich, let me tell you, we will never do this project!" Richard very decisively rejected Ehrlich’s proposal. In Silicon Valley, what he looks down on most is the money. Entrepreneurs who copied others, in his opinion, such entrepreneurs have sold their shame and soul to Satan for money!

"Yes, we will never plagiarize!"

"I will never copy to Chinese guys!"

"Copying creativity is copying, I can't do this kind of thing!"

Several of Richard's "men" all expressed their support for Richard and their protest against plagiarism in words!

At this time, Ehrlich's expression became calm. He squinted his eyes and glanced at several people. Finally, his eyes fell on Richard, and he calmly said: "Either do it or get out!"

As soon as Ehrlich uttered this sentence, the few people who were still filled with outrage just now quieted down. All three of them looked at Richard, waiting for his words and choices.

Richard fell into silence. Ehrlich was an angel investor in their four-person entrepreneurial team. In the past two months, most of their project expenses came from Ehrlich’s $200,000 investment. The office space is also the living room of Ehrlich’s house!

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 that happen here every day. Every entrepreneur is eager to make great products, to be the next Jobs, and to change the world.

Innovation is the soul of Silicon Valley and the values ​​that have been deeply rooted in Richard since he was a child. Now, Richard feels that his values ​​are being tested like never before!

Ehrlich looked at his expression and continued to slam in his words: "Richard, this is already the fourth project you have done. Can't the tragic failure of the previous three projects make you sober?

You are 29 years old this year. Lucy left you because you didn't accomplish anything. If you fail again this time, who else in Silicon Valley would like to invest in you?Who will believe your nonsense compression algorithm?"

"Yeah, who else in Silicon Valley wants to believe in me and believe that Richard can succeed? Once I thought I could change the world, but in the end I realized that I couldn't even pay my rent!" Ehrlich said. Then, the firm belief deep in Richard's heart began to shake, he has failed!

The living room fell into silence again. Dinesh, you look at me, I look at you, and I don’t know what to say. A few minutes later, Richard looked up again and sat on the sofa while drinking red wine. As a result, Ehrlich slowly said:

"Okay, I will do it, but I have a condition. We will temporarily close this project now, and then find a chance to launch it in the future. In addition, if we do a stranger social project, we will not have enough staff and funds. At least two people will be needed. And half a million dollars!"

Ehrlich on the sofa drank the red wine in his glass with a smile on his face: "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 other people!"

"Two months? Two months how..." Dinechy just wanted to argue, Richard agreed: "Well, I promise to let the new project go live within two months!"

......

Things similar to Richard and others are happening in Silicon Valley and many parts of the world at this time. At the Yanjing Huizhong headquarters, Fang Zhe, who is listening to the head of Huizhong Investment Department, Huang Siyi, has been aware of these things. Expected!

"President Fang, according to the news that our overseas contacts have learned, in the past three months alone, 8 startups similar to Momo have received venture capital in Silicon Valley. In addition, there have also been venture capital investment in London, Berlin and Moscow. Investment activities in similar projects, as for other similar entrepreneurial projects that have not received investment, are probably countless!" Huang Siyi said about the general situation of the global venture capital industry, and added:

"This time we organized the China Internet Entrepreneurship Competition by other large Internet companies in the United Nations. Although we have achieved complete success, the entrepreneurial projects that ranked in the front of the competition have also been exposed to the world prematurely, especially many entrepreneurs and imitators. In my eyes, there is no time to keep a low profile from 0 to 1 and establish a leading advantage. I am afraid that these companies will encounter many competitors and variables in the future development process!"

Fang Zhe chuckled softly when he heard the words. Different locations would lead to different visions and layouts. Huang Siyi was accustomed to the cautiousness of startups, but subconsciously ignored Huizhong and a dozen large domestic Internet companies.

Fang Zhe smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, only small companies are afraid of plagiarism. Big companies are always afraid of innovation!

With the three-month publicity and training of the entrepreneurial competition, coupled with the resource support of us and more than a dozen large domestic Internet companies, the companies that can be seen before this entrepreneurial competition will soon finish ordinary The start-up company's process from 0 to 1 means that the current Momo Technology, whether it is strength or influence, is already stronger than many B-round financing companies.

Although this process is a little bit fragile, we and other big companies are escorted by us. The probability of their failure is much smaller than that of ordinary startups!

Besides, how far can a startup company go if it does not have the confidence and courage to defeat the plagiarism?

There are only 8 in Silicon Valley. If the entire Silicon Valley "learns" from China someday, it will represent the glory and prosperity of our Chinese Internet industry!"
