In 2003, the mainland was actually quite unhappy, and an unprecedented SARS epidemic made people talk about it.

Fortunately, Liu Ruoyi's career as an artist is basically in a state of semi-retirement, and all kinds of announcements and concerts are declined.

However, with her current net worth, ordinary people can't afford to hire it.

In such an environment, Liu Ruoyi's growth was enough to make the business world look sideways, so in mid-October, Liu Ruoyi's office welcomed an unexpected visitor.

"Sister Annie, you are approached by a gentleman who claims to be the deputy editor-in-chief of the economic channel of the national television station. Vivien was a little puzzled when she came to report.

If Liu Ruoyi has any connection with national television, it should also be the Spring Festival Gala crew, and it seems that it is difficult for Liu Ruoyi to refuse the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala crew this year.

Because in recent years, Liu Ruoyi has been the leader of the ratings of music programs, and has won the highest music award for two consecutive years.

This kind of pillar Spring Festival Gala crew will not let go of anyone who is a director. What's more, Liu Ruoyi is still releasing an album and has not quit the entertainment industry.

"Let him in. Although Liu Ruoyi was also strange, she still wanted to meet her out of politeness.

Although she asked herself that she had nothing to do with the Economic Channel, if there was a little connection, it was that Aurora Media advertised movies on this channel from time to time.

"Hello Miss Annie, I'm Zhang Yuan, deputy editor-in-chief of CTV Economic Channel. The visitor politely handed over the business card first.

If it were a different occasion, Zhang Yuan would definitely not be like this, to be honest, how many people in the mainland who do business are qualified to let him visit?

But Liu Ruoyi is really different.

She has already refused interviews from countless journalists.

Not an entertainment journalist, an economic journalist, or any other journalist.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, please take a seat, please take a seat! Mr. Zhang likes to drink tea and coffee?"

Liu Ruoyi asked politely, although this editor-in-chief Zhang is strange and is always the number one person in CTV, although it seems that he can't ask for him, Liu Ruoyi is not willing to make enemies at will.

Her office is large, and the sitting room is a two-row sofa facing each other. It is convenient for Liu Ruoyi to sometimes have small meetings with executives directly in the office.

"Let's tea, thank you!" Zhang Yuan looks like he is in his forties, but his hair is a little gray, and it seems that he has used his brain a little excessively, but fortunately, his hairline is still low, and he does not look old, but makes people feel that he is in the prime of life.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know what you have to teach you when you come to Yongxiang this time?" Liu Ruoyi waited for Vivian to pour tea, and she didn't mean to talk and cut straight to the point.

"Miss Annie, that's right, our economic channel has an annual top ten economic figures selection every year, and Miss Annie is one of the candidates nominated this year, so there are some situations where the channel asks me to communicate with Miss Annie. ”

Zhang Yuan also knew that Liu Ruoyi didn't have much effort to talk nonsense with him.

So that's the case, Liu Ruoyi was suddenly, and her thoughts spread out all of a sudden.

This top ten economic figures of the year in the mainland is like a heavyweight award, which can almost be said to be the highest honor in the economic world, either the leader in the business world, or the big man who has made extremely high achievements in economic related contributions.

Liu Ruoyi can be described as a figure in the business world this year, although her foundation is on the side of Xiangjiang, but her identity is still a mainland identity.

What I got here in Xiangjiang is only a student status of Xiangjiang University, and strictly speaking it is still from the mainland.

If such a figure can't be put into the candidates, it is obviously a bit big for this selection.

In fact, Liu Ruoyi is the major shareholder of Aurora Media, the major shareholder of Aurora Pictures, and the major shareholder of Yongxiang Bank on the surface, and the net worth valuation given by the outside world is more than 20 billion!

At this time in 2003, this is the richest man in the mainland!

If such a character dares to be omitted by the economic channel, I am afraid that many economists will explore the story behind it.

took advantage of Liu Ruoyi's stunned kung fu.

Vivien poured her tea.

"Mr. Zhang, please have tea. ”

"Thank you!" Zhang Yuan politely took the tea and thanked him, then smiled and waited for Liu Ruoyi to respond.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't prepare just now, I was a little distracted, I don't know what Mr. Zhang wants to know?" Liu Ruoyi came back to her senses.

For her, this is just the icing on the cake.

However, if he can be elected, it will still be a little beneficial for Yongxiang to expand the mainland market in the future, after all, this award is still very important in the mainland.

"Actually, I don't have much to do, I mainly want to know some information about Miss Annie that can be made public, such as her shares in Aurora Media, her position, and her main work content," Zhang Yuan said.

"You know we're going to write an acceptance speech for the winners, and we need to incorporate that material to be convincing. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't say that he is still a candidate now, and the question of whether he can win the award in the future, because this is a certainty, if Liu Ruoyi is included in the candidate and then can't win the award, it will be big news.

Super scandal kind of big news.

No wonder he can be the deputy editor-in-chief, if an editor comes to these things, Liu Ruoyi may not be able to meet with him, so Zhang Yuan came over in person.

There is nothing bad to say about these things, Liu Ruoyi pondered for a while, and began to communicate with Zhang Yuan to explain, rather than letting people scribble, it is better to pass on his thoughts to the past.

This matter is a good help for the future, Liu Ruoyi is not so high-minded to resign.

......

Late October.

In Huadu, Ding Shi was very excited to talk about this year's harvest with Zhao Shaodong and Liu Ruoyi.

"There is no problem with our net gathering this year's ironclad past 2 billion income, and now I am 1.6 billion, with a profit of more than 600 million; ”

"However, now that the market value of Dianlang has exceeded the 10 billion mark, I think now is a good time to re-list, and we have to list on the Stock Exchange as soon as possible. ”

After the privatization of NASDAQ, although Ding Shi's net gathering business income has increased significantly, and it can even be said that it has soared like a rocket, it has not been listed, and it has not become a wealth on paper, although investors' valuation of network gathering has also risen repeatedly, and the market has recently opened a valuation of 10 billion yuan.

According to this valuation, there are now more than 3 billion shares in Ding Shi's hands, but this number can no longer satisfy Ding Shi's appetite.

According to the comparison of revenue and profit he specifically mentioned, it is obvious that referring to this former opponent, Ding Shi hopes to at least get the same price-earnings ratio as his opponent, if that is the case, his net worth is not more than three billion, but at least six or seven billion!

Among the major shareholders of this enterprise who are net worth in the mainland and appear on the surface, I am afraid that except for Liu Ruoyi, there is no second one who has more than him. After all, like the Chu family, these are all family shares, and many shares are even hidden in many inconspicuous cross-shareholding companies underneath.

On the surface, there are really few people who have such a big fortune.

In fact, in the original time and space of Liu Ruoyi's previous life, Ding Shi had become the richest man in the mainland with a net worth of 7 billion!

Moreover, he is also one of the top ten economic figures in the mainland this year, and his brilliance is simply incredible.

But in this life, it is obvious that his light is basically obscured by Liu Ruoyi. I don't know if there is such a number one person as him in the top ten economic figures of the year.

"William, now the development speed of the network is the effective stage, one step a year, anyway, the company is not short of money now, maybe you can get a better valuation price by putting it down. Liu Ruoyi doesn't want to go public as much as Ding Shi, and in her opinion, Wangju's current revenue and cash flow can fully cope with the company's development.

At this time, the most important thing to do is to immerse oneself in hard work and strive to develop oneself, or in a few years, perhaps in two or three years, the number of Internet users and the number of Internet computers in the mainland will reach an astonishing number.

After surviving the darkest days of the mainland stock market in 2005, Wangju had the qualifications to issue A-shares and H-shares after reorganizing its equity structure, and at that time it was listed on the Shenzhen-Shanghai and Stock Exchange respectively, just ushering in a wave of magnificent market, and a mere 10 billion yuan is nothing.

If the revenue of Wangju has dried up to 10 billion at that time, it is not unusual for the stock price of Wangju to rise to 200 billion or 300 billion!

"I'm short of money!" Ding Shi said bitterly, "I'm optimistic about the road of games, and I will definitely invest heavily in self-control, and I will invest at least 500 million yuan next year, and I'll be stumbling on the big problem of 3D game technology." ”

"You may not know, but now Blizzard has come out with a Warcraft III, and the effect is simply amazing, if this game can be played online, we will be beaten to the ground. ”

"I sent people to Blizzard to try to buy their 3D engines, but they didn't even like us and didn't even give us a chance to bid. Ding Shi is still a little indignant when he talks about it now.

"So powerful?" Liu Ruoyi really doesn't know about games, she only knows that online games were developed during this period, but except for a limited number of particularly famous online games, Liu Ruoyi has no other impressions.

For her, these things are things that only professionals should know deeply, and it is good that she can give this general direction.

"It's very powerful, in comparison, the fake 3D engine we bought from the Korean stick goods is not at the same level at all, 500 million I think it may not be enough, some core talents, we can't find them in China, and we may have to set up a research and development center in Silicon Valley to dig up some top talents. Ding Shi said ruthlessly.

Liu Ruoyi was startled, this Ding Shi went crazy, it was really terrifying.

"Okay, you can grasp this technical thing, I don't have a problem with financing, but I can't start venture capital private placement. Liu Ruoyi compromised.

"I suggest that we should go directly to the public company and become a public company again, so that our visibility, advertising and other aspects are better, and there are constraints on the financial system of listed companies, and the formalization of the company is also guaranteed. ”

However, Ding Shi obviously has other plans, venture capital financing, he has no money to invest in, and it is clear that he will sit and wait for the shares to shrink and lose his position as the first shareholder.

It is better to go public directly, so that the current major shareholders will shrink their shares synchronously, which is easier for him to accept.

"I think it's good to go public. Zhao Shaodong, who has been acting as a background board, finally opened his mouth.

"It seems that the development of network gathering will not only need to spend a lot of money next year, but it may also be needed in the future, and the search business is said to be spread out, but there is no profit yet, right?"

"Yes, the domestic Internet advertising market space is still relatively limited. Ding Shi replied.

"However, I noticed that Google's revenue last year was still more than 400 million US dollars, and this year's semi-annual report alone exceeded 700 million US dollars, which is almost four times the speed of development! This shows that the space for search advertising business is very large. Don't ignore the market of online search. "Zhao Shaodong is really careful enough to track the companies he invests in, and domestic and foreign competitors.

He is serious, and he is indeed an elite. Aurora Media is not completely able to become big by Liu Ruoyi alone, and Zhao Shaodong has put a lot of effort into the specific implementation.

Of course, Liu Ruoyi also agrees.

Although the two of them are now a little far apart in terms of concept, on the one hand, there is indeed a gap in the cognition of the two sides, and on the other hand, Zhao Shaodong does not have much extra capital to accompany Liu Ruoyi crazy.

He doesn't have the opportunity for Liu Ruoyi to make a big profit in the world, the unbreakable truth in this world is that it is easy to make money, but it is difficult to make money through hard work!

"Yes, Richard's reminder is very timely, William, there will definitely be a very big opportunity to search in the future, even bigger than you think, because when everyone starts to go online, in the face of massive content, it is absolutely impossible to rely on human brain memory to get on these websites. ”

"A lot of the future content will be based on search, and search is an indispensable tool for people. ”

"Well, we're going to make the development of search engines a strategic priority as well. "Ding Shi really didn't pay attention to search before, although he was still doing it, and he invested a lot, but he basically didn't interfere in this business.

Because the most profitable thing now is the game and mobile value-added business, the mobile value-added business has no technical content, and the investment is to do a good job in publicity and promotion and wait to collect money.

Under Liu Ruoyi's strict requirements, the network is still relatively restrained in promotion, and honestly gives users the right to know and choose, rather than letting people click to directly deduct money to subscribe like some bad service providers.

But this year's business is really hot, and now the business income is more than 400 million, and the gross profit is as high as more than 70%, so it's really not too cool to make money!

"The revenue of the online poly post bar is barely flat by mobile value-added and advertising business, how will we develop in the future?" asked Ding Shi.

"Of course, continue to enrich the content, continue to introduce well-known people in various fields, on the one hand, make the post bar a content platform, on the other hand, but also take into account everyone's social entertainment needs, if the content platform is not easy to operate, it will be directly guided to the blog to divert traffic. Liu Ruoyi said without thinking.

She is more aware of this routine.,As a public platform,The content of the post bar must be worse.,After all, a lot of it comes up to irrigate and complain and vent something.,But the content carrying platform of the blog is particularly suitable for systematically sorting out various technical posts.。
