Chapter 276: Cause and Effect
The rest of the days were calm, but Liu Yun decided that those people would not give up easily, unless they really felt powerless.
That day, when he left Qin Dong's office, the words he said were a bit pretended to be deep, and it also made the other party feel like a rat trap.
Liu Yun sighed secretly, all this boiled down to being too weak, and those cats and dogs dared to fight their own ideas.
By the time of June, World of Warcraft will be officially in open beta, and the huge popularity will make this game a hot topic of discussion in society.
From the earliest "Legend" to the later "World of Warcraft", and then to the future LOL and "Glory of Kings", these epoch-making games not only have an amazing ability to attract money, but also have mixed reviews in society.
Liu Yun understands that from the beginning of the open beta of World of Warcraft to 2010, there will be a lot of discussion about the game, and all kinds of jumping clowns will also jump to the front stage one after another.
For example, Professor Yang, who likes electric shocks.
As the boss, Liu Yun is very likely to be on the cusp of the storm for a period of time in the future, and there will be many people with red eyes, and there will be many people who want to pick peaches.
He shook his head, pushing the clutter away, still focusing on the matter at hand.
Now, Liu Yun is still a student of Ning University, and this identity makes him a little passive, and many times he can only accept the recruitment, but cannot make the move.
This crisis can be big or small, and the worst-case scenario is that he chooses to compromise and sell 15% of the shares to the other party at the jump price, which is also his next resort after he has no choice.
However, Liu Yun believes that there will not be such a day.
That day, before he received a call from Qin Donglai in the office. Cousin Liu Yueru sent him a message, which said the information of Du Hai and Wu Tian.
Du Hai's father, Du Yu, is the former deputy director of the Jiangnan Provincial Department of Education, and he has the grace of promotion to Qin Donglai. Although the age difference between Du Hai and Qin Donglai is 7 or 8 years old, they have always been more temperamental and can talk.
The one is called Wu Tian, and he has a brother who is the director of the tax bureau.
If he really uses the connections in his hands, he will come to Liu Yun's company to check the accounts twice in three days, which will be enough for him to have a headache.
He understands that the corporate income tax in China is as high as 25%. No matter how big or small your company is, you will think about how to avoid taxes reasonably and legally.
This is an unavoidable problem for almost all companies. Yoyo Network is no exception.
Liu Yun also analyzed that Ningjiang City's private economy is very developed, and the government's bureaucratic style is not as strong as that of those northern provinces.
If the tax department comes to check the accounts every day, and only checks the accounts of Yoyo Network, the impact will be extremely bad if it goes to the city government.
What's more, Youyou Network is the benchmark of Ningjiang Internet enterprises, which forced him to be anxious, and with a wave of his hand, he paid some money to move the company to Shanghai, and it was the officials of the municipal government who should be anxious at that time.
These two people, plus Qin Donglai, have a certain background relationship, but their strength is not strong when Liu Yun feels desperate and gives up resistance.
This was the first reaction in his heart after receiving Liu Yueru's short message that day, and it was also the reason why he dared to compete in Qin Donglai's office just now.
What's more, today's Yoyo Holiday Network is no longer the same as it was three months ago.
It has moved from a regional enterprise in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to a national enterprise, becoming a sponsor of the Huaxia Space Agency, and even allowing the first Chinese astronaut to open a personal column on the website.
With SoftBank Capital's valuation of $120 million, such a value is enough to attract the attention of the city government. Liu Yun already has an extra hole card in his hand to protect himself.
The reduction of the shares that Du Hai and Wu Tian want to acquire from the initial 20% to 15% is the best explanation, and they also agree that the best time has passed. The rapid development of Yoyo Holiday Network is beyond anyone's imagination, except for Liu Yun.
Liu Yun had a gut feeling that even if he pressed the sale of shares to 10%, these people would eventually accept it, but he was unwilling to do so, and he didn't want to give 0.1%.
……
After New Year's Day, Ctrip's hotel reservation system was launched as scheduled, and to Liu Yun's surprise, they did not use Alipay's interface.
He was very curious and called Ma Yun. He abolished the peer exclusivity agreement with Liu Yun at the beginning, and even did not hesitate to pay a large amount of liquidated damages, but Ctrip did not use Alipay.
"Mr. Ma, what are you doing?" Liu Yun called Lao Ma's phone, and there was a crackling keyboard sound on the other end.
"It's not because of you! I'm following the agreement between the two of us and writing travel tips for Yoyo Vacation?" Ma Yun said helplessly.
This time it was Liu Yun's turn to make an exception, and he asked, "Mr. Ma actually wrote it himself? I thought you would find an assistant!"
Lao Ma replied: "Then how can it be done! Since this is my personal column, of course I have to write it myself." I have shares in Yoyo Holiday.com, and I am responsible for the company and those netizens. ”
Liu Yun hurriedly nodded and praised: "That's right, your professionalism is worth learning from me." ”
The two continued to make small talk for a while.
"Do you have anything to do with me?"
"That's right, I found that Ctrip's hotel online booking system has been online for a few days, but there is no excuse for Alipay. I'm a little surprised, didn't you really want to win it in the first place?"
Ma Yun on the other end of the phone sighed and said: "Nowadays, Ctrip's hotel online reservation system still uses online banking payment like ticket booking. Such an operation is very inconvenient, so they only tested it in a few five-star hotels in Shanghai. ”
Liu Yun's heart moved, and asked, "Mr. Ma, you didn't go to the door to recommend." ”
It stands to reason that this guy is thick-skinned. In the past, when he first started his business, he would carry sacks to small commodity markets and sell them door-to-door.
Ma Yun was silent for a moment, thinking that Liu Yun was his partner, so he didn't hide it, and said: "At the beginning, I thought that Ctrip would be like you, and I could see the value of Alipay and come to me. As a result, they never came, but I went to Shanghai to look for them. ”
Liu Yun asked tentatively: "Refused?"
Ma Yun showed a melancholy look and said, "I refused." The reason is that we Alibaba is a shareholder of Yoyo Holiday, so we don't feel at ease to use our products!"
Liu Yun frowned and said: "If they don't use Alipay, only online banking, it is very difficult to open up the market, is this pure money burning?"
There are only a few five-star hotels in the country, and even if they take them all, they can't make up for the deficit of burning money.
Ma Yun squinted her eyes slightly and said, "I think they're waiting." Don't forget that Tencent's Tenpay went public in March this year. ”
I see! Liu Yun also understood!
At the beginning, he introduced Alipay and let Ali become a shareholder, although such a move was intentional, but he did not expect that it would become a reason for Ctrip to refuse Alipay half a year later. He was ecstatic in his heart, and he had three more months to live.
