This is Tian Fu's first time shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award, and it is also an extremely important highlight moment in the singer's career.

Liu Yun understands that no matter how busy his company's affairs are, he has to go, and he can't find any reason to refuse, otherwise even if this Nizi wins the award for the most popular female singer, most of them will not be happy.

He also hopes that at the end of the golden age of the Chinese music scene, Tian Fu can seize this opportunity and leave his own mark.

……

In May 2007, a small event happened in Europe, when France elected a new president, Nicolas Sarkozy.

Liu Yun knew that for a period of time in the future, this guy would be like a clown jumping off the beam, pointing fingers at Huaxia's internal affairs. Of course, with France's current national strength, it can't affect China, but they like to play some tricks, such as adding some artificial disturbances during the Olympic torch relay to embarrass you, and of course, in order to brush up on their sense of existence as the president of a big country.

He recalled the chaos of the torch relay in Paris, a group of Frenchmen, pretending to be indignant about a great monk who liked to lie, and an incident that happened thousands of miles away and of which he was unaware.

But in World War II, when you faced the German army, why did you raise your hands so fast?

Perhaps the French president felt that he was close to Napoleon, and fantasized that he would become the next Napoleon.

Regarding this news, Liu Yun only paid attention to it and kept it in his heart.

If there is a big event in May, there is barely one such thing. Liu Yun moved the computer mouse and closed the web page.

Also in May, Yoyo experienced a ticket bounce. At that time, Liu Yun discovered a hidden danger of the company with a keen eye, the game was released too often, the aesthetic fatigue of players was rising, and the sense of expectation was decreasing.

The decision turned out to be a wise one. Yoyo has a huge user base, but for this bounce news, there are not many waves, even if some netizens ask, they just simply consult.

Nowadays, the coverage of Yoyo's games is too wide.

"World of Warcraft" is a Western fantasy 3D game, "Zhu Xian" is an Oriental Xianxia 3D game, "Demon Domain" is a 2.5D magic game, "Dragon Babu" is a 2.8D martial arts game, and "Crossfire" is a shooting online game.

Yoyo adopts a one-size universal pass model, and its users experience almost every game more or less, and choose one or two that suit their tastes.

The player's enthusiasm and energy had almost reached a saturation level, and he felt that it was time to slow down.

According to the report given by the finance department, in the past month, Yoyo's revenue has increased amazingly, but the composition of it surprised Liu Yun, and he has a complicated feeling that he is not happy or depressed.

Zhang Lili, the financial director, opened the document and said slowly: "Demon Domain is 27 million, Zhuxian is 36 million, Tianlong is 52 million, and Crossfire is 65 million." ”

With that, she looked at her boss with wide eyes.

Liu Yun kept tapping his fingers on the table, and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, are you missing the most important game." ”

Zhang Lili gently brushed the hair draped over her shoulders, and said helplessly: "I will wait for the final report on the matter of Warcraft." The game's profit in May fell below 100 million, 920 million. Of course, revenues are still rising. ”

Liu Yun understood the meaning of the words, after the launch of the new sharing agreement, coupled with the purchase of new servers, marketing, and labor costs, even though the number of people online was rising, profits actually declined for the first time.

He shrugged his shoulders a little nonchalantly and said with a smile: "This is not a good sign, our dependence on Warcraft is further reduced. ”

Zhang Lili understood what the boss meant, and replied: "Mr. Liu, I have prepared a financial statement for Manager Zhao of the game department for this month, which must be of great help to him in future negotiations." ”

The implication is to tell the other party that this statement can increase your bargaining chips, and how much value you can play depends on your personal performance.

Liu Yun just nodded slightly, noncommittal, he also felt that this was a good idea, and it should be tough where it should be tough.

Then there is Yoyo Holiday.com, which made a profit of 15 million yuan in May. ”

After hearing this, Liu Yun's heart moved, and he asked, "How many reserve funds does Yoyo Holiday Network have now?"

Zhang Lili replied: "Priceline's last financing of more than $7,000 has almost burned out within a year, and we have also opened up channels for major travel agencies. Nowadays, in the hotel reservation market, Yoyo is a well-deserved leader, and in terms of ticket booking business, it has gradually approached Ctrip. In addition, the company has purchased an office building in Shanghai and is preparing to officially relocate at the end of next year. So the company's reserve funds are already less than 100 million. ”

With the rapid development of OTA websites, Yoyo Holidays will move away from Yoyo Building as an independent subsidiary and move to Shanghai.

Liu Yun thought for a while and said: "Today's equity ratio is 56% for Youyou, 24% for Alibaba, and 20% for Priceline. Now the company has sufficient cash flow, and we, as a major shareholder, have the power to increase capital. I am ready to inject 200 million RMB into Yoyo Holiday. ”

Once Yoyo chooses to increase its capital, the remaining two companies must also follow the investment according to the equity ratio, otherwise they will dilute their shares.

After hearing this, Zhang Lili asked with some curiosity: "Boss, do you want to deal with Ctrip again?" ”

She disagrees with this way of burning money in her heart, after all, today's market share has stabilized, and it is the best choice to keep the company in a profitable state.

Liu Yun shook his head and denied: "When you have sufficient funds, choosing the money-burning mode of bidding is not the only way. The money burned is like a waste, and if you go, you won't come back, and it's not suitable for the current Youyou. The best way to do this is to be compatible with mergers and acquisitions. ”

Zhang Lili showed a look of surprise and said, "Could it be that Mr. Liu wants to buy Ctrip?"

Liu Yun replied, "No." Ctrip is too large, and even if its market value has declined now, it will be difficult to win without $300 million. The target I want to acquire is Qunar.com, which is based in Yanjing. The management of this company has good operational capabilities, and under the monopoly of Yoyo and Ctrip, it also occupies a large market share, but after all, there is not enough funds, and it is difficult to make much improvement. ”

In the previous life, the reason why this OTA website was able to become the third giant after Ctrip and eLong was because it seized the opportunity of the mobile Internet era. However, in the end, he could not escape the fate of being acquired by Ctrip.

Now, in the shadow of Yoyo Vacation and Ctrip, Qunar's financing road is extremely difficult, and now it only occupies some market share in the vicinity of Yanjing. Many investment companies will also feel that giving them money is very likely to be a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return.

Liu Yun's idea is the same as Ctrip in his previous life, and he adopts a money-burning strategy like a fight, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 himself. It is better to directly acquire these potential companies and directly turn the opponent into a subordinate.

This trick is not only liked so much by Ctrip in the previous life, but Tencent and Ali played it even better.

From Liu Yun's God's perspective, of course, he understands that Qunar's operation team is not bad, but it lacks sufficient funds. After the acquisition, Yoyo still maintains the original operation team, and sets performance requirements, if it is not met, it is not too late to replace it.

In this way, he used the money he had burned in the bidding to buy rival companies and further increase his market share.

Liu Yun continued: "You go and work with Manager Xu of Yoyo Holiday Network to draw up a specific acquisition plan, and the company will give strong support in terms of funds. ”

He roughly estimated that Priceline, the God of Wealth, would most likely increase his capital, and Ali's words might be hesitant.

If Lao Ma is willing to increase the capital, he can share the cost of Youyou, and if Lao Ma gives up this capital increase, Liu Yun can take the opportunity to expand the proportion of equity. He could accept both outcomes.

After instructing these tasks, Zhang Lili reported one last thing: "Mr. Liu, Vice President Zhou is going to leave next month, right?"

Liu Yun raised his head, looked at her, and asked with some puzzlement: "Of course, all the management knows about this, is there any problem?"

Zhang Lili hesitated for a few seconds and continued: "The company has already cashed out 5% of the equity award of Youyou Times in advance, but he ...... Did he ask you recently if you had borrowed money?"

Liu Yun frowned slightly and asked, "Borrow money?" is he so short of money now?"

Zhou Hongyi didn't ask Liu Yun to borrow money.

Zhang Lili replied: "A few days ago, he registered a company in Yanjing, called 360 Mall, and it is said that he also joined JD.com. Are you raising money right now?"

Liu Yun showed a sudden look and said with a smile: "This guy came to me not long ago and asked Youyou if he had any intention of financing, but I vetoed it. ”

Since he was unwilling to raise money, Zhou Hongyi could only start to borrow money.

Liu Yun asked again: "What other conditions did he offer?" ”

Zhang Lili smiled bitterly: "This guy is really a talent, and recently asked all the management of Youyou to borrow money, and the minimum amount is 2 million." I'm hesitating to lend him money?"

Liu Yun showed surprise and asked, "Did you all borrow it?"

Zhang Lili showed a hint of embarrassment and truthfully explained: "Mr. Liu, this Lao Zhou is mortgaged by part of the shares of 360 Mall. Many of the company's management actually believe in Zhou Hongyi's connections and ability, and since the other party used the equity of 360 Mall as collateral, they also borrowed it with confidence and boldness. ”

Liu Yun rolled his eyes, most of the red clothes knew that he was not interested in online shopping sites this week, and he didn't pay for it and asked himself to borrow money. But this guy is good, the management of Yoyo has borrowed it all except himself!
