"How can you not look down on ......"

In the face of Brother Xiaoma's ridicule, Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile, but he probably understood what Brother Xiao Ma was worried about now, nothing more than worrying that he would also meddle in chess and card games. After all, although everyone wants to make games, Zhou Fangyuan's focus is obviously on large-scale games, and Tengxun was not prepared to get involved too much in this regard from the beginning, and Xiao Ma directly set his sights on small games. So he deliberately said that Zhou Fangyuan definitely didn't like this kind of small game, in fact, he hoped to influence Zhou Fangyuan more or less, so that he really gave up the small game.

It was precisely because he understood Xiao Ma's thoughts that Zhou Fangyuan deliberately said this.

He could even feel that Brother Pony's breathing on the other side of the phone was a lot heavier—Zhou Fangyuan smiled maliciously.

"Haha, okay, Brother Ma, don't worry, I'm not going to play chess and card games. ”

"Really?"

Brother Ma asked without confidence.

He really can't be blamed for this, who else is it, if he knows such a pervert as Zhou Fangyuan, I'm afraid he won't be confident.

"Really, really, I really don't know how to make board games, so you can rest assured. ”

Zhou Fangyuan repeatedly assured that this made Brother Xiaoma's mood a lot better.

In fact, Brother Xiao Ma said before that he wanted to make a game, not long after the plant was launched, it created the world's first sales, which made Brother Xiao Ma quite excited at that time, and he talked to Zhou Fangyuan about this matter at that time, and he was ready to borrow some programmers from Zhou Fangyuan here. It's just that Zhou Fangyuan didn't agree, not that he didn't want to agree, but that he was indeed a little stretched at that time, the company didn't look at the number of programmers, but almost everyone was very busy with work, and he really couldn't borrow people. This is also the reason why the recruitment website was established, because everyone is short of people, and the speed is too slow and inefficient to hold a job fair, so everyone discussed a partnership to get a recruitment website.

However, this matter ended up in the end, and although Brother Pony absorbed a lot of new employees, he never heard about the game from him again.

After a long time, Zhou Fangyuan himself forgot about it, but now that Brother Xiao Ma suddenly mentioned it, he was quite surprised.

"By the way, Xiaoyuan, someone told me before that I wanted to refinance Tengxun, but I didn't directly agree, I want to hear your thoughts. ”

"Financing again? Who's it this time? How much money are you going to spend?"

Zhou Fangyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Millard, a company from South Africa, he's going to buy a 20 percent stake for $20 million, didn't Mr. Li tell you? ”

Brother Pony asked suspiciously.

"Brother Li, he didn't tell me, in fact, we haven't been in touch much recently, I have a lot of things on my side, and he doesn't know what he's been busy with, we only chat occasionally, but he hasn't told me...... But he didn't say it, it should be that he had already refused, why, the other party was still unwilling?"

Zhou Fangyuan asked.

Recently, he really has very little contact with Brother Li, it's not that everyone's relationship is not close, in fact, their relationship is really not very close. Everyone is an adult, and they are all businessmen, no matter how close the relationship is, there is a limit, naturally it can't be like young people, and the relationship is almost sticky together. Everyone has their own things to do, and Brother Xiao Li may not be easy at all, seeing him fly all over the world before is the best proof of this.

"Unwillingly, they sent a second offer, $30 million, to buy 20% of the shares in Mr. Li's hands, and also sent me an offer to buy 5% of the shares from me, and other people have now received an offer from this Millard company, so I actually want to ask you to see if you have to get an offer here, what do you think about this financing. ”

20% for $30 million? This price is not bad, and it directly raised the valuation of Tencent to $150 million, which is already a leading large company in China.

Of course, such a valuation is recognized by Zhou Fangyuan, which is more than double the original time and space, which can be said to be very sincere. Brother Xiao Li has not sold his shares yet, he doesn't know what it is, and he is not ready to ask, this kind of thing still depends on Brother Li's own thoughts, he is an outsider, and has repeatedly influenced Brother Li's decision-making, but he can't do it again and again, otherwise his friends won't do it.

As for himself, his shares will definitely not be sold, first of all, this value is far from the value that Tengxun should have, and secondly, even if the shares in Zhou Fangyuan's hands really reach the value of the future generations, he will not necessarily sell them.

Just kidding, such a profitable share, he will only sell it if he loses his mind, and it is not good to distribute dividends every year? Anyway, the initial investment is only a few million, and just eating dividends has already paid off, so why should he sell shares?

Why didn't Millard, that is, the MIH Group, come to him, he didn't know the specific reason, and he didn't want to know, but he already had an answer to Xiao Ma's question.

"Brother Ma, whether to raise money and how much to finance, this is what you, the president, should do, I said at the beginning, I will not interfere with your management of the company. I would interject when Brother Li bought shares before, just because I felt that the valuation at that time was really low, but this time...... To be honest, it's a little higher, but it can also be seen that this Millard Group is very optimistic about Tencent, so the decision is in your hands, you just need to notify me to hold a shareholders' meeting at the right time, and I won't care about other things. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"That's right...... Well, I'll let you know as soon as there's news. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhou Fangyuan nodded and hung up the phone.

Millard Group is optimistic about Tencent, and the financing process of Tenxun from the previous life can not see the clues.

In the original air, in 01, that is, in June this year, Brother Li's Yingke sold 20% of the equity of Tengxun at a price of 12.6 million US dollars, and the takeover was Millard International Holding Group Company. Since then, Milard Group has acquired a 12.8% stake in Tencent from IDG. At this time, Tencent's shareholding structure is 60% owned by Tencent team, 33% by MIH Group, and 7.2% by IDG. At that time, Tencent's valuation was $63 million.

A year later, in June 02, MIH Group once again purchased 13.5% of the equity from the founders of Tencent Holdings, and at this time, Tencent's shareholding structure became 46.3% owned by Tencent and its co-entrepreneurs, 46.5% by MIH, and 7.2% by IDG.

In August 03, for listing reasons, Tencent adjusted its equity structure, recovering all 7.2% of the shares in the hands of IDG, and at the same time repurchasing a small amount of shares from MIH, at this time the holding structure became Tencent and MIH each holding 50% of the situation.

Finally, in 04, in 04, Tengxun IPO issued 420 million public shares, and the IPO diluted the original shareholder ratio by increasing share capital. The 12 natural persons and MIH each reduced their share of Tencent Holdings from 50% to 37.5%. On August 31 of the same year, ABSA Bank announced that it held 185 million Tencent shares, accounting for 10.43% of the issued shares. So far, the shareholding structure of Tencent has changed to 37.5% of Tencent and its founders, 37.5% of MIH Group, and 10.43% of ABSA Bank. Among them, Xiao Ma Ge personally holds about 14.43% of the shares.

It is not difficult to see from this series of share changes that MIH Group is really optimistic about Tencent, since the start of the shares, out of 03 years in addition to the sale of part of the shares, no longer even 0.1% of the country It can be seen that the small sale of 03 in the previous life was also the result of the game between the two sides, after all, Tengxun was also to control it anyway, and the shares of MIH at that time were already higher than the sum of Xiao Ma and the other four tigers, of course Xiao Ma could not agree, and it was natural to repurchase some of the shares.

In addition, there is no half-share sales, which shows that MIH is very optimistic about the future of Tencent.

Because they are optimistic, they would rather spend more money to acquire Tengxun's shares at this time, and buy 20% of the shares for $30 million, which is definitely a move of conscience, at least the price is quite reasonable.

At this time, Tencent, although the future is great, and the profitability is not weak, but the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, it is too dependent on QQ, it can be said that in addition to QQ, Tengxun at this time has nothing to take. Brother Xiao Ma restarted the heart of the game, nine times out of ten it was also taken into account, to say that he really likes the game? This Zhou Fangyuan really doesn't know, but I don't think he will be too interested. Like every successful person, they have so much to do that they don't have the energy to focus on what they like. The so-called liking is mostly because of the development of the company or group, and their time does not allow them to be extravagant enough to like to play games.

So Brother Xiao Ma may not hate games, but Zhou Fangyuan never believes that he likes to play games, he made QQ games out to make up for Tencent's shortcomings, and at the same time create new profit points and break through Tencent's current bottleneck.

This is very good, Brother Xiaoma's development is tossing, Zhou Fangyuan is enjoying it, what could be better than this?

As for whether Tencent Games will compete with Zhou Fangyuan for jobs after it becomes bigger and stronger, first of all, it is impossible for the game market to have only one or two games, players have different hobbies and interests, and the types and styles of games are also diverse, and different games have different groups, it is difficult to say who will definitely grab whose jobs. Secondly, the market is so big, tens of billions of dollars of supermarkets, can accommodate a lot of game companies, and only with competition can this market be healthier. Monopoly trusts have basically been unable to appear in this era, not only at the national level, but also in the market itself, and Zhou Fangyuan had no idea of becoming a monopolist from the beginning.

And he also thinks about one issue, and that is the issue of influence.

Nowadays, distant games do have a strong influence in the game market, but they are only limited to large online games, but in other aspects, the influence of distant games is very small. Even in the large-scale game market, distant games can't be dominant, at least not at present, otherwise why would Wangyi dare to come up directly and clearly grab his users?

Influence is something that needs to be developed little by little, but at the same time, there is a shortcut, which is to expand your game genre as much as possible.

But this method is too difficult, not to mention other companies, let's talk about distant games, and now let Zhou Fangyuan go to other types of games, he doesn't have the energy and time, and it is difficult for the company to draw a new team to develop a game of other types. Either you can only continue to recruit, or you can only draw people from your current team. No matter which method is very troublesome, if one is not done well, it is likely to affect the development and stability of the company, but the gains outweigh the losses.

So Zhou Fangyuan has no idea at present, and at the same time there is no way to devote himself to small games, but small games are also a market, chess and card games have a long history of thousands of years in China, they used to be played in reality, and now they are played online, which is a kind of progress in the way of games. It's a pity that this market doesn't eat shrimp, but I don't have the ability to eat it...... The appearance of Brother Xiao Ma can be regarded as filling the shortcomings of this piece.

Tengxun now has money and energy, and what is missing is the right project.

The board game is a very good project, and judging from the "experience" of future generations, Tencent will definitely be able to succeed.

At that time, the distant game will focus on the large-scale game market, and Tencent will focus on the small game market, in the two markets two companies at the same time, and they are both Zhou Fangyuan's companies, this influence will be superimposed, such as a company like Wangyi, when the time comes, I want to blatantly grab people, I'm sorry, you have to face an alliance that can affect the entire domestic market at the same time. Not to mention that there are world-class companies like Blizzard in this alliance, so that the game alliance of Far Away-Tencent-Blizzard, even if it can't completely dominate the game time in Huaxia, is enough to be unshakeable. Even the world's most famous game manufacturers are unlikely to shake the alliance's dominance in China.

So Brother Xiao Ma wants to make a game, Zhou Fangyuan definitely raises his hands and feet in favor, there is no doubt about it!

......

After a few days, Zhou Fangyuan returned to his normal college life a little, and when he was in class, his phone suddenly trembled.

Fortunately, he jumped mute in advance, he picked up the phone and looked at it, only to find that there was still a text message on the phone, he didn't care about reading the text message, first look at this call, the number is a number he doesn't know.

His number is not confidential, but it is not known to everyone, and it is not a sales promotion or insurance to be able to call suddenly, Zhou Fangyuan thought about it, suddenly raised his hand, and after talking to the teacher in class, he left the classroom under the pretense of going to the toilet, and then connected the phone in the corridor.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhou Fangyuan Zhou?"

On the other side of the phone was an unfamiliar male voice.

"It's me, you're it?"

Zhou Fangyuan's doubts were even worse.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, I am the representative of South Africa's Millard Group, I want to talk to you about the shares of Tengxun in your hands, I don't know when you have time. ”

The man opposite was very polite.

Zhou Fangyuan's eyebrows were slightly raised, MIH's people were still wondering why they contacted others and didn't contact him, but he didn't expect that MIH Group had actually called at this time.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Fangyuan gave the answer.

"I still have some things to do, tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, I have store time, we can meet in the distant media. ”
