Chapter 1017: Joy and Sorrow
Lei Jun blinked his eyes, after Fang Chen said this, how did he think that selling WPS to Microsoft was also a good choice.
After all, monopolies like Microsoft don't need money, so why can Kingsoft make money?
If a company can't make money and has no value, it will face only one way to go out of business.
And let alone selling to Microsoft, even any way out is countless times better than the worst outcome of bankruptcy.
Moreover, Microsoft, the main competitor of Kingsoft, is willing to take over WPS, in fact, it should be said that it is the best of the best, and the good cannot be better.
First, Microsoft has money, and second, Microsoft knows the value of Kingsoft.
In this way, the price of WPS will naturally not be too low, not to mention that there is Fang Chen, the top rich man, here, there is no two or three hundred million, is Microsoft embarrassed to speak?
After glancing at Zhang Xuanlong and Qiu Bojun, who were frowning and deep in thought, Fang Chen glanced at Lei Jun again, his eyes were dripping and rolling, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, Lei Jun's appearance was quite a sense of 'you guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes has also rebelled and revolutionized'.
However, he now knows why in his previous life, Zhang Xuanlong and Qiu Bojun were willing to hand over Jinshan to Lei Jun, and Lei Jun would start a business again at the age of forty, set off again, and founded Xiaomi.
Although Lei Jun is young now, his level of running a business is already better than that of Zhang Xuanlong.
After a slight sigh, Fang Chen said directly: "Zhang Dong, ask Dong, whether WPS has to be sold to Microsoft, don't worry about this first, you first listen to the conditions I negotiated with Microsoft." β
Hearing this, Zhang Xuanlong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and nodded secretly, indeed, listening to Microsoft's conditions is the most practical.
"Kingsoft will sell WPS to Microsoft, and Microsoft will pay 8% of Microsoft's office net revenue. Fang Chen said.
Hearing this, Zhang Xuanlong and the others looked at each other, and they could all see the surprise in each other's eyes.
Microsoft's conditions seem to be better, somewhat than they expected.
Some time ago, when Microsoft had just contacted Kingsoft and wanted to be compatible with WPS, they investigated Microsoft's situation in relative detail.
Microsoft Office software is the main force of Microsoft's revenue, and it contributes more revenue to Microsoft every year than Microsoft's operating system.
According to Microsoft's revenue of almost 10 billion Chinese dollars last year and a total profit of about 4 billion, Microsoft Office basically contributed 2.4 billion to Microsoft's total profit.
And 8% of 2.2 billion is almost 200 million Chinese coins.
At this point, although Qiu Bojun gradually frowned again, Zhang Xuanlong had already become smiling.
200 million Huaxia coins is not a small amount, especially 200 million Huaxia coins is still net income.
Although WPS can now bring 60 million revenue to Jinshan a year, the net profit is less than 12 million after all kinds of costs.
If calculated according to 12 million, it will take more than 16 years for Jinshan to earn these two hundred million.
After doing the math, he suddenly felt that this was a relatively good deal.
After all, the price-earnings ratio of listed companies in Hong Kong is usually ten, that is, the money invested, and it can only be earned back after ten years.
If WPS is not sold to Microsoft, it is equivalent to saying that Kingsoft's price-earnings ratio at this time is basically sixteen, which is definitely a level that must be sold immediately if it is in the stock market.
In an instant, Zhang Xuanlong was already shaken, rather than expecting Jinshan to earn 200 million, it was better to sell WPS to Microsoft now.
And according to Fang Chen, once Microsoft enters China, with its monopoly operating system and almost free price, how can Jinshan still have a way to live, let alone earn 12 million a year, and 200 million in 16 years.
At that time, it may be necessary for the parent company of Jinshan in Xiangjiang to inject capital into the Jinshan company in the mainland.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuanlong really felt a shudder.
Although he is more affectionate, and he also attaches great importance to the high-tech industry in China, but in the final analysis, he is still a businessman, a businessman for the purpose of making money, he founded Xiangzhou Jinshan Software Company, Yanjing Founder Company, and Sitong to set up a joint venture together, the purpose of which is to make money.
Now in the face of such a two choices, either earn 200 million yuan and leave, or lose everything, and ask the parent company to inject capital into the mainland, it seems that what to choose is self-evident.
Qiu Bojun bit his lip lightly, a little painful, more unwilling, although he is a technical nerd, but not a fool, but should be said to be a smart person, or he can't write WPS1.0 in four hundred days and nights.
He still knows a lot about this friend, partner, and Bole next to him, he doesn't need to look at Zhang Xuanlong's face, he knows what Zhang Xuanlong is thinking, and Zhang Xuanlong is definitely moved.
But he asked himself in all fairness, if it were him, he would have made the same choice as Zhang Xuanlong in the face of two choices with such obvious pros and cons.
Besides, there is still a lot of his money in these two hundred million, and according to his 20% stake in Jinshan, he can get 40 million of 200 million.
Forty million!
That's not a small amount.
It can be said that with such a sum of money, his family does not have to worry about the life of his life, he eats what he wants, plays wherever he wants, buys whatever car he wants, and buys whatever he wants.
It's just that he is distressed, really distressed, and he doesn't know if he feels distressed for WPS, or for his four hundred days and nights.
Lei Jun looked at Fang Chen with interest, if Jinshan sold WPS to Microsoft, Zhang Dong and Qiu Dong could get 200 million, and Microsoft could get WPS and the Huaxia market, what kind of benefits could Fang Chen, who played a key role in the middle, get?
What drove Fang Chen to do this?
He was curious.
In fact, for the sale of WPS to Microsoft, he is the smallest of the three, and the interest is also the smallest, after all, Jinshan does not have his shares, he has only joined the company for a year, and the company has not given him shares, and he can't get a penny of 200 million.
Besides, for him, even if WPS is gone, and even Jinshan no longer exists, it is still not a particularly difficult thing for him to find a job.
The reason why he joined Kingsoft was because the Yellow Rose group failed to start a business last time, and he wanted to come to the first domestic software company like Kingsoft to learn the way of management, and he admired Qiu Bojun, the first programmer in China.
"However, I think you seem to have misunderstood what I said. Fang Chen said suddenly.
Zhang Xuanlong and the three of them froze, especially Zhang Xuanlong's heart hung in an instant.
Is this Microsoft not promised?
No, what Fang Chen said just now was 'the conditions to be negotiated', and Fang Chen had always said that he had sold WPS to Microsoft.
Or rather, Fang Chen has additional conditions.
Well, it should be so, although he doesn't know much about Fang Chen, but the reason why Fang Chen thinks about Jinshan and negotiates the conditions with Microsoft is that it is impossible not to have nothing at all, just doing good deeds?
Scold!
He really didn't think that the world's top rich man like Fang Chen could be so idle.
But whether Fang Chen wanted money or something else, he didn't know.
At this time, Zhang Xuanlong felt that his heart was like fifteen buckets of waterβseven up and eight down, but none of them landed.
He is now afraid of wolves and tigers, both afraid that Microsoft will not agree to Fang Chen's conditions, and afraid that Fang Chen's lion will open his mouth and bite him fiercely.
Seeing that the eyes of the three of them were focused on themselves, Fang Chen said with a smile: "You probably misunderstood, the 8% net income of Microsoft Office software that I talked to Microsoft about is given to Jinshan, which is annual, not a one-time one. β
"Ahh
Zhang Xuanlong instantly screamed in disbelief.
200 million at a time, he is already a surprise enough, this 200 million a year, wouldn't he be crazy.
But in the next breath, a cold chill instantly enveloped his whole body, and he couldn't help but feel excited, a little dazed and at a loss, and even more frightened to look at Fang Chen.
200 million a year is good, but the problem is that the money is too big, and the big one is beyond his control.
I'm not afraid of pies falling from the sky, but if you drop a big gold ingot from the sky, you must avoid it, otherwise there is a chance that your head will be smashed by this big gold ingot.
And he believes that Microsoft is definitely not a fool, and Bill Gates is definitely not a fool, even he can roughly know the sales, sales, profits, and proportion of Microsoft's office software, etc., how can Bill Gates not know some information about Kingsoft.
He asked himself in all fairness, if it was only 200 million, WPS would still be worth this value, but the premium was just a little more, and if it was not sold to Microsoft, when Microsoft really made a force, WPS would be worthless, so he thought about it and agreed to sell WPS to Microsoft.
But if it's 200 million a year, he doesn't think WPS is worth the price.
And Bill Gates knew that WPS was not worth the price, but he reached a condition with Fang Chen, there must be something behind this that he didn't know, and Fang Chen definitely played a huge role.
As soon as the thought turned, Zhang Xuanlong's face was suddenly full of smiles, and he said to Fang Chen enthusiastically: "Fang Dong, really, really, on behalf of all the employees of Jinshan, I thank you for your help, I believe that without you, Microsoft would never have paid such a big price to acquire WPS, I sincerely apologize to you for the rudeness and misunderstanding just now." β
As he spoke, Zhang Xuanlong stood up and bowed to Fang Chen, his eyes flashing with sincerity.
Seeing this, Fang Chen immediately smiled, stretched out his hand and waved his hand at Zhang Xuanlong, "Zhang Dong, don't thank me first, although I am not a bad person, I am not a good person, I can only be said to be a qualified businessman." β
Hearing this, looking at Fang Chen's ill-intentioned appearance, Zhang Xuanlong couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, as if he didn't expect Fang Chen to say it so bluntly.
Especially if he is not a good person, he can only be said to be a qualified businessman, and it is like a bullet shot into his chest.
What is a businessman, he can't afford to make a profit, he is a very profit-seeking creature, he has 50% of the profit, he takes risks, for the sake of 100% of the profits, he dares to trample on all the laws of the world, and with 300% of the profits, he dares to commit any crime, and even risks the existence of hanging.
When Fang Chen said this, the implication was already self-evident.
However, he finally understands a little now, why a rich man like Fang Chen would go beyond his authority to talk to Bill Gates about WPS, and sell WPS to Microsoft without telling him, because the profits in it are too big and too big.
Even at this time, he was still a little ashamed, don't look at him in his thirties, he had made some achievements before, what banquet and cocktail party he attended, he was also touted by many people, and he boasted of being a young talent, but compared to Fang Chen, he was really far behind in business.
No wonder Fang Chen can make so much money.
Amazing!
Zhang Xuanlong hurriedly said: "Fang Dong can facilitate this matter, and the share that should be given to Fang Dong will definitely not be less." β
He has already decided that this 200 million per year, even if it is to give Fang Chen 20%, even 25%, or even 30% of the profit, more than 100 million a year is beyond his imagination.
But who knows, Fang Chen actually glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "That one, this one or something, don't mention Zhang Dong, I came to Jinshan this time for another purpose, and I hope that Zhang Dong agrees if I have a reluctant request." β
Not here to divide the money?
It is said that hearing Fang Chen say this, Zhang Xuanlong should laugh, this is a good thing, a good thing!
But he had a bad feeling, as if a shadow had been cast on his heart, as if a catastrophe was about to come.
"Fang Dong, you say it's okay, if I can help you, I will definitely do it. Zhang Xuanlong said stubbornly.
"Don't be nervous, Dong Zhang, I came to Jinshan this time to send money to Jinshan. Fang Chen said with a smile.
Sending money?
At this time, Zhang Xuanlong and the three of them fell into confusion again, Fang Chen helped Jinshan sell WPS, why did he still send money to Jinshan.
Fang Chen looked at the three people in front of him and said solemnly: "I want to buy Jinshan, if Zhang Dong agrees, let's talk about the price, it will definitely satisfy Zhang Dong and Qiu Dong." β
Hearing Fang Chen say this, Zhang Xuanlong instantly felt a rush of blood rushing towards the Tianling Gai, his whole face became red, his eyes couldn't help but widen, his eyeballs burst out bloodshots, his fists were clenched, and the green tendons spread from his wrists and swirled upwards until his neck, just like a small green snake.
Zhang Xuanlong looked at Fang Chen angrily, understood, he completely understood.
understands why Fang Chen is so enthusiastic about WPS with Microsoft, and won such lucrative and outrageous conditions, it turned out to be this ghost idea.
Fang Chen: This is obviously a condition for himself to talk about!
What good people!
Bah!
At this time, Zhang Xuanlong really had a feeling of joy and sadness.
