234. And then to Hangzhou
If it's just Blizzard, forget it, Zhou Fangyuan can talk about it himself.
But as far as he knows, last year, CUC, which had previously bought Blizzard, had its stock value plummeted by 80% due to an accounting fraud scandal, and CUC had to sell its consumer software division Sierra On-line and Blizzard to the French company Havas, also last year, Havas was acquired by Vivendi, so Blizzard became part of Vivendi.
This Vivendi is amazing, it is a French media giant company with a long history, it was established during the time of Napoleon III, and it is one of the world's top 500 companies.
Of course, with the size of Vivendi, it may not be possible to see the profitability of Blizzard at present, although Blizzard is very famous, and the profitability is also good, but the emerging thing of online games will inevitably be disliked by all parties when it first appears, and it is not until the first few years of the 21st century that online games have begun to become really popular, especially after the post-80s group grew up and became the mainstream of society, the society's rejection of online games gradually decreased.
In other words, if you start Blizzard now, the pressure on Vivendi may not be too great. But no matter how small it is, it is not something that Zhou Fangyuan can talk about, his status is not equal, and people will not pay attention to him at all.
On the contrary, it is Xiao Li, as the son of the richest man Li, with the name of the richest man Li, he can eat in all circles. Even if Vivendi hadn't had any contact before, he could still talk if he wanted to.
So Zhou Fangyuan decided to drag him into the water as soon as he saw Xiao Li, anyway, Xiao Li's interest in online games is really lacking, tell him that he can make money, let him help negotiate this matter, and have the opportunity to buy the shares in Xiao Li's hands little by little in the future, and it is not difficult to finally achieve the goal of controlling Blizzard.
The banquet lasted until about one o'clock in the middle of the night, and the white men of IDG were drunk, how could the crooked nuts who were used to drinking red wine be able to withstand the height of the liquor? Baijiu was quite spicy when it first entered the mouth, but when you get used to drinking it, you will feel very soft in the mouth. And after going up, people will follow into a state of excitement, once they enter a state of excitement, it is naturally a cup to a dry wine, where is there a reason not to get drunk?
The most sober in the audience may be a few weeks away, Xiao Ma and Xiao Li, the others sat on the chairs and began to nap, and the three of them sat on the sofa and discussed some things. Seeing that it was almost two o'clock, the waiters were all outside the door leaning against the wall and were about to fall asleep, and the group left the hotel.
It's also a loss to the Shenzhen market, even at two o'clock in the middle of the night, there are still a lot of people on the street, and there are many taxis or something, so it's no problem to send you back to your place of residence. If this is put on Beitong, I am afraid that there will not even be a ghost on the street at this time.
Back to where he lived, Zhou Fangyuan didn't even wash his head and went to sleep, he didn't drink much, but after all, he drank wine, and there was some alcohol on his head at this time, so he slept very sweetly this night, and woke up the next afternoon.
Fortunately, his plane was at night, so he was not in a hurry.
After taking a shower and making himself comfortable, Zhou Fangyuan went downstairs to eat, and then nestled in the hotel to watch TV.
Little Brother Ma called him to eat, but he refused. Brother Pony asked him to stay a few more days, but he still refused. Around the hotel that night, Zhou Fangyuan got on a plane to Hangzhou.
Not to mention, after taking a plane, his fear of heights has improved a lot.
At least he knew that the plane was very safe, of course, he already knew this thing, and he also knew that as early as World War II, the accident rate of the plane was lower than that of the car and the train, but once the plane crashed, the people on the plane basically did not survive, and they fell from such a high place, so it made people feel terrible, so that once the plane crashed, there were various reports, which made people feel that the plane was very dangerous.
In fact, the safety factor of the plane is still very high, and the probability of an accident on a plane is almost the same as the chance of winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket.
Zhou Fangyuan never believed that he was such a lucky person, he was lucky enough to be reborn, how could it be that the plane crash still fell on his head?
So now he is suddenly more at ease with the plane, and he bought the ticket directly without any worries about the flight from Shenzhen to Hangzhou.
When he got on the plane, Xiao Ma came to the airport to say goodbye to him, and Xiao Li actually came, and the three of them stood at the ticket gate and said a few words.
Xiao Li also patted Zhou Fangyuan on the shoulder, "I have already arranged for my secretary to check the information of that Blizzard, if what you said is correct, I will find a way to contact you." But there's no problem with buying shares, do you have enough money now? Do you want me to lend you some? Just calculate it according to the bank's interest. ”
This is very sincere, it seems that Xiao Li really wants to befriend Zhou Fangyuan, otherwise how could he say such a thing?
But Zhou Fangyuan shook his head, not to mention anything else, he still has nearly 300 million yuan of soft sister coins in his hand, which is equivalent to more than 30 million US dollars, even if he can't buy the entire Blizzard, it is always enough to buy a part of the shares. As long as he can buy shares, he can find ways to buy other shares in the future, so he is not short of money now.
So he rejected Xiao Li's kindness, and seeing that the plane was about to take off, Zhou Fangyuan hugged Xiao Ma and then shook hands with Xiao Li.
"We'll see you later, two. ”
"Take care all the way. ”
"Stay safe. ”
Xiao Ma and Xiao Li gave each instruction, and Zhou Fangyuan pulled his suitcase and turned around and walked towards the boarding gate, and soon got on the flight to Hangzhou.
More than two hours ago, the plane landed steadily in Hangzhou, and Cai Zhongxin, who had already gotten the news, had been waiting at the airport for a long time, and he needed to entertain Zhou Fangyuan. This is the majority shareholder of the company, and no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can't write it on his face.
On the way, Cai Zhongxin looked at Zhou Fangyuan curiously, "Dong Zhou, why did you come from Shenzhen? If I'm not mistaken, your house should be from Beitong." ”
"Yes, my family is from Beitong, and I go to Shenzhen mainly to do something. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.
"Wouldn't it be a stake in another company?"
Cai Zhongxin said with a smile.
He didn't know about Zhou Fangyuan's stake in Tencent, but Brother Ma knew some, but he didn't tell Cai Zhongxin. Therefore, Cai Zhongxin always thought that Zhou Fangyuan only had shares in his own company, and he didn't know that Zhou Fangyuan also had shares in other companies.
But Zhou Fangyuan also didn't know that Cai Zhongxin didn't know about it, he thought that Cai Zhongxin had reached his goal, he thought that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded, "It has something to do with shares, but it's not a shareholding, it's a dilution of shares." Tencent, which I invested in before, just completed the second financing two days ago, and I went to go through the relevant procedures in the past. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said it lightly, but Cai Zhongxin was not calm when he heard this, he slammed on the brakes, "Tencent?
"Yes, Mr. Cai, you don't know?"
Zhou Fangyuan was also a little surprised, he didn't understand where Cai Zhongxin got such a big reaction.
He underestimated the current fame of Tencent, in the Chinese Internet circle, in addition to the traditional portal three, Tencent is now the most famous. It's no joke that a small messaging app has 5 million registered users. What's more, many companies now use QQ to communicate, including their Ali, so Tencent's reputation is now very big in the Chinese Internet circle.
Cai Zhongxin really didn't expect that Zhou Fangyuan actually had shares in Tencent, and he thought of the number of shares that he had bought by Zhou Fangyuan, so he tried to ask.
"Dong Chou, you are in Tencent, how many shares do you ......?"
"Not much, less than 33 percent. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said.
Cai Zhongxin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he started the car again, and said with a smile, "How much money did Tengxun finance this time? Well, if you can't say it, don't tell me. ”
He also made up for it.
"What can't be said about this," Zhou Fangyuan smiled and waved his hand, "This time, Tengxun financing has raised a total of 4.4 million US dollars, and the shares that have been financed are 30%, which is quite a lot, and my shares have been diluted by 14%. ”
"Then Dong Zhou, you still have 18% of the shares left?"
Cai Zhongxin asked as he drove the car.
Zhou Fangyuan glanced at him, "How can it be 18%? I still have 33% of the shares left, this is the diluted share ratio." ”
Crunch –
The car stopped suddenly, and Cai Zhongxin turned his head sharply and looked at Zhou Fangyuan with a look of surprise.
"Mr. Chou, you mean that after the second round of financing, you still have 33% of the shares?"
"Less than 33 percent, 32.9 percent to be exact, diluted out 14.1 percent, I originally had 47 percent of the shares. ”
Zhou Fangyuan blinked and looked at Cai Zhongxin with some confusion.
Cai Zhongxin swallowed, "Wait, wait, Dong Zhou, do you mean that you still have 33% of Tencent's shares?"
"Almost, what's wrong?"
"No, Tengxun raised 4.4 million yuan in this financing and paid 30% of the shares, so the shares in your hands are worth 40 million soft sister coins?"
Cai Zhongxin has a lot of money in his hands, but he still feels like a dog beeping.
"yes, what's the problem?"
"No problem, no problem......"
Cai Zhongxin hurriedly shook his head, turned his head and started the car again.
"I'm just a little surprised, Dong Chou, you are really amazing, by the way, how much money did you spend on Tengxun at that time......"
"3 million soft sister coins. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said indifferently.
Cai Zhongxin's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly.
3 million, less than a year, 40 million, Ma Dan, is it not good to grab money so quickly? He couldn't help but glance at Zhou Fangyuan again, and only then did he really pay attention to this young man in his heart.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart, this young man's eyesight is really terrifying, 3 million has increased more than thirteen times in less than a year, if he is given a few more years, the devil knows how far he can develop.
Cai Zhongxin looked at Zhou Fangyuan's young side face, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart. It's really more like a person than a dead person, he has spent half his life, and now he only has a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan, what about people? Invest casually, it has increased more than ten times in less than a year, and compared with the two, he feels that he has really lived to a dog in this half of his life.
