232 [Wonderful Cooperation]
The two books, "The Future Belongs to China" and "China Can Say No", continue to ferment in the environment of rising nationalism. But sales have not gone up much, because there are pirated copies everywhere, and they can be easily bought at any bookstall.
The sales volume of the genuine version of "The Future Belongs to China" is currently more than 2.1 million copies, and after deducting income tax, Song Weiyang can earn about 2.5 million yuan - more detailed data has not yet come out, but it is definitely more than now.
Song Weiyang approached Fudan University Press, hoping that the other party would immediately pay 2.6 million yuan for the manuscript.
This is a very rude request, because China's book royalties are calculated semi-annually, and they will not be settled until July. But Song Weiyang made a promise that he only needed 2.6 million yuan, and no matter how much the rest was sold, the profits would go to Fudan University Press.
The leaders of Fudan Publishing House thought it was a good deal. Although the sales of "The Future Belongs to China" have dropped sharply recently, how can it sell another 200,000 copies, plus the data that is not counted at this time, Song Weiyang will lose at least hundreds of thousands.
In addition, the overseas copyright of the book is also represented by Fudan Publishing House. At this time, it has been basically negotiated, the overseas copyright is directly sold out, and the copyright fees in several countries totaling nearly one million, Song Weiyang only needs 1 million, and the rest can continue to be discussed, and the income is all owned by Fudan Publishing House.
Historically, China Can Say No has been translated into eight languages and sold to more than a dozen countries around the world.
Song Weiyang's "The Future Belongs to China" is not much worse, and now publishers from six countries have come to the door, and they have done the translation work themselves. I can talk about a few countries next, no matter how Fudan Publishing House tosses, it has nothing to do with Song Weiyang after authorization.
In this way, Song Weiyang got 3.6 million yuan at one time, and then went to Xiangshan City with the money.
No. 8 Lianshan Lane, Jinshan Company Headquarters.
Qiu Bojun personally led all the employees to warmly welcome Song Weiyang's arrival at the door of the company.
"Boss Song, welcome!" Qiu Bojun smiled and shook hands.
Song Weiyang laughed: "Lao Qiu, we've been chatting on the Internet for almost a year, and we finally met the real person." You're a little more handsome than I thought you were, but still not as handsome as I am, yes, yes. ”
"I'm not handsome to the depths of my soul after all. Qiu Bojun quipped.
More than a dozen Jinshan employees laughed, and the atmosphere became active in an instant.
The office room of Jinshan Company is very large, but unfortunately there are only more than ten people left, empty, showing a sense of depression.
Lei Jun is the sixth employee to join Kingsoft, but he has a strong appeal in the rivers and lakes, and he has pulled a large number of technical backbones over as soon as he enters the company. Moreover, none of these technical backbones, no matter how difficult Jinshan is, have not left in the first three years, and it was not until last year that a few began to leave one after another.
Let's put it this way, at this time, nearly 70% of the remaining more than ten employees of Jinshan were brought by Lei Jun himself.
Qiu Bojun doesn't know anything except technology, doesn't know business management, and doesn't know how to win people's hearts. If Lei Jun wants to jump back, it is estimated that he can get the support of all employees, and it is rare for them to cooperate for many years without accidents.
Without further words, Song Weiyang, Qiu Bojun, and Lei Jun came to the office.
Song Weiyang said: "I brought 3.6 million this time, which is the royalty from selling books, and I can only take out so much emergency for the time being, and if I have more, I will sell Xifeng shares." ”
"Enough, enough," Qiu Bojun hurriedly said, "Boss Song, don't touch Xifeng's shares, it's really messed up, I can't afford it." ”
"In a few months, I can use 20 or 30 million to ensure that Jinshan will not fall into a financial crisis. Song Weiyang said.
"That's great. Qiu Bojun said.
Song Weiyang said: "Let's talk about equity distribution, what is the situation in Jinshan now?"
Qiu Bojun said: "The equity of Jinshan, I and Zhang Xuanlong are half of each other. ”
"How much did he invest at that time, and what is the current valuation of Jinshan?" Song Weiyang asked.
Qiu Bojun shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
"How could you not know?" Song Weiyang was a little speechless.
"I really don't know," Qiu Bojun said, "when the port city of Jinshan merged with Founder, Lao Zhang was afraid that I would be wronged, so he funded me to set up the current Jinshan Company separately." He gave me as much money as I wanted, and then he added several additional investments, and we never calculated it, anyway, the equity is half of one person. Now Lao Zhang's spare money in his hands has been given to me, and if he makes additional investments, he can only use Founder's shares. ”
It is hard for Song Weiyang to imagine that there is such a partnership in the world. The amount of investment is not calculated in advance, and the continuous additional investment does not change the equity, which is a completely confused account.
What's even more nonsense is that until Jinshan successfully financed and went public, Qiu Bojun and Zhang Xuanlong did not collapse, but also gave part of their equity to Lei Jun. Later, Tencent injected capital into Jinshan and became the largest shareholder of Jinshan, Zhang Xuanlong and Qiu Bojun immediately granted their share voting rights to Lei Jun, making Lei Jun the real helmsman of Jinshan.
The cooperation between these three people is really amazing, one only invests and spends money regardless of returns, one specializes in technology and does not care about the company's operation, and one person completely controls the company but does not jump back.
Zhang Xuanlong, who is Qiu Bojun's former boss, earns tens of millions of dollars a year with PS, and is known as the "Godfather of Zhongguancun" by the people of the rivers and lakes.
Qiu Bojun followed Zhang Xuanlong to do things at the beginning, but he didn't negotiate a fixed salary every month. Anyway, Zhang Xuanlong was responsible for renting a house for Qiu Bojun, and was responsible for providing Qiu Bojun with computers and funds.
Song Weiyang has been in business for two lifetimes, and he has never met this kind of partner, so he has a headache: "Then how do I distribute shares with capital injection?"
Qiu Bojun said: "Lao Zhang is now talking about business in the United States, and I talked to him on the phone yesterday and basically reached a consensus. You are responsible for investing in to ensure that the development of PS97 can be carried out smoothly, no matter how much you invest, you and I, as well as Lao Zhang, each account for 30% of the equity, and the remaining 10% will be distributed to Lei Jun. What do you think of that?"
"Why did you pull me again?" Lei Jun interjected.
"Your contribution to the company, Lao Zhang and I both see it, and we have long wanted to give you some equity. Qiu Bojun said.
"No, there is no such business. Song Weiyang didn't know how to explain.
It is simply strange that such a company can become bigger and can also be financed and listed!
Qiu Bojun asked, "Then how do you think we should cooperate?"
"How do you usually do your finances?" Song Weiyang asked.
"The company has an accountant. Qiu Bojun said.
Song Weiyang sweated all over his head, and said with his forehead raised: "In this way, according to the distribution method you said." I continued to invest in the PS97 until the development of the PS97 was successful, and the exact amount of money I invested depends on the situation. However, in the second month of PS97's development, the company's financial system must be improved! When the time comes, I will ask someone from Citibank to do an asset evaluation, and everything will go according to normal procedures from now on. The company's income and accounting must be calculated clearly, and the annual dividend must also be determined, and whoever wants to inject capital in the future must distribute equity according to the actual situation. ”
"That's okay, and I want the company to be more formal. Qiu Bojun said.
To be honest, if Song Weiyang wasn't a traverser, and if he didn't know that Jinshan would become bigger, it would be impossible for him to invest in this company - it's too amateurish!
It was the partner Zhang Xuanlong who made Song Weiyang very interested. This gentleman is like a fish in water in Zhongguancun, and has maintained close relations with Lenovo, Sitong, Founder and other companies, and finally even merged his own company with Founder and sold Founder's products to more than 10 countries and regions around the world.
It is impossible for such a person not to understand the company's management. But he just didn't care about anything, he said that he would give half of the shares to one person, and he would give him as much as Qiu Bojun wanted, until he used up the funds at his disposal.
What was Zhang Xuanlong thinking in his heart?
