644. Commencement of Acceptance of Financing
Of course, even if you accept investment, not all companies are open.
For example, the most core, Alipay, Zhou Fangyuan will not accept investment, this is certain.
It can be said that this company is specially prepared for the national level, and only accepts government investment when it receives investment, or it is regulated, no matter what, at the private level, it will definitely not be considered. There is also the field of agriculture, animal husbandry and catering, and will not accept too much investment, to say, Internet companies make money quickly, that is right, but what is really important is these companies in agriculture, as well as industrial companies such as preventive technology. Industrial prosperity is definitely not just talking, no matter how big the Internet company is, it is a castle in the air, you have no roots, you can't stand firmly.
However, agriculture and mobile phone industries are different, and as an industrial company, as long as there are no major decision-making mistakes, it is not so easy to collapse casually. The stability of the industry is what Zhou Fangyuan values most. Even if all the Internet companies he has now go bankrupt and go bankrupt, as long as the industrial side is not affected, he still has a chance to make a comeback. On the other hand, if the industrial field loses the battlefield, then the entire distant group will become unstable and may collapse at any time.
Those Internet companies are alive and glamorous, but what about the dead ones? How many have died? Few people know about these things.
If you look at the industrial companies, as long as they don't die on their own, or if the market suddenly changes so much that it is completely too late to react and fall behind the times, it is not just a matter of saying that they want to collapse. In the previous life, Nokia was completely committed to death. In fact, when smartphones first appeared, Nokia was completely capable of keeping up, and with his reputation, it was not difficult to retain a place in the smartphone era. But for various reasons, Nokia failed to keep up with this tide, and the result is needless to say, Nokia is finished, which was once the most famous mobile phone manufacturer in China, so it said goodbye to history.
The same is true for companies such as Motorola, which have not ended up very well, why? Not because the industry is unstable, but the emergence of smart phones is a revolution, this is a sudden change in the market, and those who can be better will naturally eat and drink, and those who can't keep up have to act as nourishment, and those companies that have become nourishment have also died for their own reasons, but throughout history, the industrial companies that have failed in the world in the past few decades may not be as good as the number of Internet companies that have closed their doors in a month in the Internet era.
That's the difference in stability.
And when it comes to agricultural companies, the stability is even stronger, because no one can do without food. I can do without my phone, I can go without the Internet, I can even go bare-bottomed at home every day without clothes, but can I skip eating? No, no.
The only way to eat is something that human beings can never avoid, and it is absolutely unavoidable. You can skip the staple food, but you always have to eat, so the agricultural company is the most stable, and it is really a model that you will not die as long as you don't do it yourself. Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan attaches great importance to agricultural companies, more than all other companies. There is also a glass factory, the glass factory is also very important, because glass is also an indispensable material in modern society, in short, the industry is very important, this must not be given up, and the same can not be casually recruited new shareholders.
Of course, in the end, in the end, the agricultural company also has to recruit shareholders, this is normal, eating alone always does not end well, everyone understands this.
It's just that they are put in the last place, and other companies can accept new shareholders earlier, or even in 03, only agricultural companies and food companies, this has to be done slowly, shareholders or something, can not be added casually.
On the side of distant media, today is also good, variety shows and TV series are performing very well, but the performance of movies is not very good.
Feng Cannon still didn't cooperate with the distant media in the end, and for the sake of it, the movie was also delayed again and again, and in the end, the project of the assembly number was temporarily stranded, but it was not completely stopped, anyway, the approval or something had already come down, and it couldn't be filmed last year, so I could only wait for the opportunity. The performance of the movie is not very good, but it is not a big problem, because there are Warcraft and Iron Man behind it, domestic stars still believe in Hollywood more after all, there is a channel that can get through Hollywood, it is still one of the hot companies, and the income is also good, the performance of TV series is very good, and variety shows are not bad, so on the whole, Far Media is developing smoothly.
The development of permanent phoenix is also very good, and now the whole country is paved with permanent phoenix bicycles, public bicycles are popular in the country, both the government and the people, they like this thing very much.
Because of force majeure, Yuanfang Group finally withdrew, but it doesn't matter, as long as it can exist as a bicycle supplier, Yuanfang Group still makes a lot of money.
Except for the companies directly controlled by Zhou Fangyuan, other companies are also good.
Erma's development is very rapid, Blizzard's income is also rising, although Altos Virtue is not famous, it is also lurking, and it may jump out at any time.
In general, 02 is a year of comprehensive development of the Yuanfang Group, if 01 is still based on the layout, then the 02 Yuanfang Group has really stood up.
Of course, there are more and more people who are red on this big fat meat, and Zhou Fangyuan can basically receive all kinds of visit letters every day, and most of the people who send letters are various investment companies. International, domestic, as long as you can count the names, there are basically them. Zhou Fangyuan had been ignoring it before, but he also knew that he couldn't continue like this, and if it dragged on, it was very likely to cause these guys to backlash, which was not beautiful.
So just after the New Year, the two companies of Yuanfang Video and Yuanfang Comics took the lead in accepting investment, and then, countless greetings flew over like snowflakes.
The purpose is simple, to take a stake in these two companies.
Maybe for many investment companies, these two companies don't actually have much investment significance, but they still make a statement, why?
First of all, this is the first time that a subsidiary of Yuanfang Group has received investment, which can be regarded as a special advantage. But that's not all, the most important thing is that it's a signal. This is a signal that Zhou Fangyuan and Yuanfang Group are willing to accept investment, although everyone knows that the big head is still behind, but now it is not in vain to take a city first, and it is not in vain to pay attention for so long. At the same time, it can also show favor to Zhou Fangyuan, why not do it.
Regarding the matter of accepting investment, Zhou's parents and Zhou's parents have no opinions, they are now guarding a gold polo, and they don't care about money or not, their money can't be spent, or in other words, with Zhou's parents and Zhou's mother's way of spending money, this money can't be spent, they go out to travel when they have time, not to mention how comfortable the life is, they won't ask what Zhou Fangyuan wants to do.
Anyway, they own all the shares of Jin Polo, this is an old hen that can lay diamond eggs, and their family also holds all the shares in the agricultural company, so as long as they keep this piece, it is enough, and the rest, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother don't ask, and they don't care, let Zhou Fangyuan toss.
Years later, Zhou Fangyuan returned to Beijing and began to contact investors from all walks of life.
After almost a month of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached.
Zhou Fangyuan released 20% of the shares of Yuanfang Comics, which were eaten by the four, and the company got 70 million liquidity, which is already a very good financing for a comic website, and the company's funds became abundant all of a sudden.
As for Yuanfang Video, Zhou Fangyuan only took out 15% of the shares, but in exchange for 120 million funds, the value of the shares is higher than that of Yuanfang Comics. And considering that the distant video is the first station, the distant comic is his big brother, and the result is that the little brother came from behind and directly ran over the big brother, which can't be blamed for the fact that the distant comics are not powerful, after all, compared with the comprehensive video website, the comic website is worse after all. And now anyone can see that the layout of Yuanfang Group in the media industry is not small, both domestic and foreign, and he still has the copyright of a large number of Marvel superheroes in his hands, and it seems that all of them are going to be made into movies.
Some can be released in China, some may not, and those that can't, can they be put on video websites? Of course, this is only a small aspect.
After all, the big thing is the change of domestic policy, the skyrocketing number of netizens, and the excellent performance of distant video, anyone can see that the future of this website will not be bad, 15% of the shares for 120 million, all the valuations are almost one billion, for a ** station, it is simply impossible. But there are two sides to say it, after all, the potential is huge, and there is not even a rival on the table in China, not to mention monopoly, but it is still possible to occupy most of the market. And Huaxia is such a big market, if you think about it like this, it is worth it.
In fact, it is the Yuanfang Group that everyone is more willing to invest in. After all, Yuanfang Group owns almost all the equity of these subordinate companies, and most of the shares of Yuanfang Group are concentrated in Zhou Fangyuan, if you can invest in the group, it is the best choice. It's a pity that Zhou Fangyuan still has to come step by step, starting with the small companies below, and using two to three years to finance all the companies or groups that can be financed, and cultivating his own network, instead of opening the financing channels of all companies at once, which will definitely mess up the entire group, and he can't help but consider this matter.
In short, Zhou Fangyuan's side began to change, which was a good thing for everyone, and the various complaints that existed before began to disappear, and everyone's eyes were now focused on Zhou Fangyuan's body, just like a hungry wolf, just waiting for him to continue to throw meat out.
But just entering May, Zhou Fangyuan did not take the next step, but turned around and went to the United States again.
This time it's a big deal, the development of World of Warcraft is complete!
When Mike told him the news, Zhou Fangyuan felt a little incredulous, didn't he say that it was expected to be the end of 03? Why was it suddenly half a year ahead of schedule?
Mike told him that because he provided a more complete script, they hardly had to take a detour in terms of plot. For some of the game's settings, Zhou Fangyuan also helped, the World of Warcraft in the original time and space was changed several times, and the game system underwent countless changes before it finally became what players saw.
But this time, because of Zhou Fangyuan, all these crooked roads don't have to go, and the development team was able to develop in a smoother way, and all the problems are limited to software problems in the development process, such as copywriting, plot, game settings and other important parts, all of which have been decided. So the speed is faster than in the previous life, and it is also said to be more effective.
Zhou Fangyuan was full of expectations, took a plane to the United States, and came to Blizzard's headquarters as soon as possible.
Then at Blizzard headquarters, I saw the long-awaited World of Warcraft online game.
Get started and try it, Zhou Fangyuan is very satisfied, it is exactly the same as what he played in his previous life, no, it can't be said that it is exactly the same, the World of Warcraft in this life is better.
Of course, it's not about picture quality, in terms of picture quality, this is really no way. Blizzard has improved the picture quality as much as possible, and the game optimization has been good enough, limited by the current computer equipment, the picture quality of Warcraft cannot be said to be the best, but it is indeed suitable for promotion, the game with the best picture quality.
Looking at the history of games in the last life, how many games died because the graphics were too high?
The quality of the game is important, but the promotion is also very important, and it must meet the needs of the vast majority of players, and the most important thing is to play the game in the smoothest possible state without everyone spending money on a new computer as much as possible. Can Blizzard do it? Yes, and it's too easy, but what's the use? You raise the image quality so high, most computers can't run smoothly, some computers can't run at all, no one plays the game, and in the end, it's not for nothing? The more famous ones here are the sword spirit and the chicken.
When Sword Spirit first came out, the picture quality was very good, but most computers couldn't run smoothly.
People who go to Internet cafes to play are better, the configuration of Internet cafes is generally very extreme, don't look at the cheap computer, but playing games is indeed better than most home computers. But what if it's a home computer player? Is it for a game to change the computer? Plus game optimization is really not good, what the final result of the game of Sword and Soul is, everyone knows. Then there is the chicken, the chicken game has extremely high requirements for the computer, fortunately, when the chicken was launched, the price of the computer was further reduced, and the money in the hands of the people was theoretically more, so many people could choose to update the computer configuration, which made the chicken survive, and it became popular.
Not to mention, if you quit three or five years early, unless the picture quality is weakened and further optimized, the consequences may not be too good.
And the reverse represents League of Legends and DNF, the picture quality requirements are not high, and the low-end picture quality can also be played, plus it is easy to use, and the game is enduring, which is the reason.
So the picture quality of World of Warcraft, Blizzard has done a good enough job, Zhou Fangyuan tried it out, and he was satisfied, so there is no need to say more. Standing up from the computer, the first question he asked was when Mike was going to make Warcraft officially live.
