Chapter 495: Why Do You Want to Go Public?
"On the other hand, the purpose of the company's launch of profitable projects is not to make a profit, but only because of the need for listing, and it does not matter whether it makes money or not. Rather than making money, we should take this opportunity to discover our own shortcomings and quickly check and fill in the gaps. ”
"Speaking of which, I remember that when some new projects are being promoted, you can set up a special department to collect feedback from users. Then pick a subset of really useful suggestions and reward the users who make them. ”
"Rewards can be divided into several levels, there can be high cash rewards, you can also use paid services such as membership as rewards, and then divide them into several levels such as a month and a year, in a word, find a way to attract users, so that more people can participate. ”
"For any Internet company, users are the foundation of survival, and user experience must be put first at all times. Right now, our IM is the only instant messaging software, so be sure to take advantage of the opportunity. ”
Of course, Larry Ellison and Jobs knew what Zheng Yan said, but the concepts were slightly different, but fortunately, Zheng Yan's suggestions were beneficial to the development of the company, and the two did not object.
Just when Zheng Yan thought that this conversation was over, he suddenly found that Liu Wei looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but be a little strange, "Third brother, if you have anything to say, there are no outsiders here." Besides, you are also a shareholder of Elite Technology, and it is also within your duty to express your own opinions. ”
Because of his profession, although Liu Wei is also a shareholder of the company, no one has ever thought of discussing elite technology with him, hearing Zheng Yan's words, Larry Ellison and Jobs also turned their eyes to Liu Wei, with curiosity in their expressions.
"I do have something I want to discuss with you, but this matter has nothing to do with elite technology, but with Dragon Entertainment. ”
"You know, as early as a few years ago, I had the idea of going public with Longteng Entertainment, but then because the focus of the business shifted to the United States, this matter has dragged on until now, and I think the time is ripe, so..."
Zheng Yan understood as soon as he heard it, what bullshit is ripe for, just because of Larry Ellison two
The proposal made Liu Wei a little red-eyed.
"Third brother, you can't be serious, right? Dragon Entertainment is in a very good situation at the moment, the films shot by our company, both at the box office and word of mouth, have all been successful, and there are two partners, Spielberg and Columbia Pictures. ”
"Compared with those old film companies, we are only inferior to the background, but as long as we are given time, it is not impossible to catch up with or even surpass them. In this case, it's good for us to make a fortune ourselves, why should we go public?"
In Zheng Yan's view, low-key making money is the king, once the company is listed, it will be supervised by the relevant departments, which is equivalent to no privacy, how can you understand Liu Wei's thoughts?
Whether it was the press conference of Elite Technology or the negotiation with KPCB this time, Liu Wei's sense of presence was very low in the face of reporters, which made him very shocked, so after Larry Ellison put forward the proposal to let Elite Technology go public, Liu Wei moved his mind.
"Zheng Yan, I know what you said, and I also know the purpose of other companies to go public, but I am different from their original intention of listing. ”
"When Longteng was still developing in Hong Kong City, I put all my energy into the company, and the results were not bad. You also know my temperament, I want to show off when I have some achievements, and the best way to show off is to make the company public. ”
"Other things can be faked, you can brag, but a company's stock price can't be faked, that's why I wanted Longteng to go public in the first place. As for how much money Longteng can absorb from the stock market, I don't care at all, because Longteng has never been short of money. ”
"Now I still mean to show off, but not all. We have been together almost all these years, and I have watched you grow step by step, and I feel proud and at the same time a little worried, worried that I will not be able to keep up with you in the future. ”
"If nothing else, the reason why Longteng Entertainment has been able to develop to this scale today is that your credit is the greatest. Without the script you provided, there would have been no chance of working with Spielberg, and if it weren't for you, Columbia Pictures wouldn't have worked with us
Make. ”
"As for Elite Technology, the reason why I can become a shareholder of the company is because of you, I know all this. Of course, I won't deny my own efforts, I just want to see how far Longteng can go after I have worked hard in Longteng for so many years. ”
I have known Liu Wei for so many years, and it is the first time for Zheng Yan to see him talk about work seriously, feeling a little strange and feeling a little self-reproachful. If it is placed in Huaxia, Liu Wei is definitely the master who can walk sideways wherever he goes, but since he came out with Zheng Yan, he has become the green leaf that sets off Zheng Yan, and Liu Wei is also willing.
Liu Wei is right, whether it is Longteng or Elite Technology, the reason why he can become a shareholder is only because of the family relationship between him and Zheng Yan. But on the other hand, the reason why Liu Wei is willing to follow Zheng Yan is not because of that family affection?
"Third brother, I won't stop you if you want Longteng to go public, but not now, you still need to wait for a while, but you can rest assured that this time will not be too long, and you can start preparing for the listing now." After thinking about the joints, Zheng Yan not only didn't plan to stop him, but also wanted to help Liu Wei and let him have a good time.
"What do you mean? You have to know that the situation of Longteng and Elite Technology is not the same, Longteng Entertainment's works are well-known, not to mention profitable, it seems that there is no need to wait for any opportunity, right?" Liu Wei asked puzzled.
"Third brother, if it is a normal situation, Longteng Entertainment can be listed at any time, but the current situation is a bit special. Do you remember "Titanic"? When this film is released, Dragon will be ready to go on the market. ”
"My confidence in this film may seem strange to you, but you also know that when I make some decisions, I rely on my gut to make judgments, and this time it's the same, my gut tells me that Titanic is going to make history. ”
How amazing the achievements and influence of "Titanic" are, Zheng Yan knows it very well. If the listing of Longteng Entertainment is placed after the broadcast of "Titanic", Zheng Yan believes that it will have a miraculous effect.
Although Liu Wei was still a little strange in his heart, he had waited for several years, and it was not bad for this year, so he did not object.
