Chapter 165: In Business
Two days later, Ren Pingsheng flew back to Hanhai from Ludao.
This line can be said to be full of harvest, not only negotiated with Cai Wensheng about the intention of co-founding an angel investment fund, but also brought back the "anyou, angyou" series of domain names that are bound to be obtained, and from then on, the domain names of Wanyou Network and Wanyou Games can be hung under "anyou" in a dignified manner.
Anyone who wants to learn about the game of everything, or wants to know about online games, will be directed to the search engine. Under this URL, this is the effect that Ren Pingsheng wants.
In addition, Ren Pingsheng also entrusted Cai Wensheng to purchase or register several other domain names, including "YTV", "YGAME", "YMOVIE", "YMV", "Y", "Y" and other industry domain names, although Ren Pingsheng has not yet been involved in these industries, but may be able to use them in the future, as well as "Pingsheng", "PS", which may be used in the future, are also bought first.
Suffer a loss, grow a wisdom, Ren Pingsheng now has to take precautions for everything, start first to be strong, and register first to be fast.
Although Cai Wensheng kept refusing, Ren Pingsheng still insisted on paying him the domain name transfer fee according to the market price, and these domain names cost him more than one million yuan, which is also worth the money.
In business, Ren Pingsheng is a brother who settles accounts, and he doesn't want to take advantage of his partners because he is about to establish a cooperative relationship, which is the principle of being a man and doing things.
Moreover, Ren Pingsheng gained a lot from Cai Wensheng, in addition to the angel investment and domain name mentioned above, he also learned a piece of business information from Cai Wensheng, a very important business information.
Lei Jun made another move, this time investing in an online voice chat tool company called InSpeak Voice (IS).
When Cai Wensheng inadvertently talked about this term, Ren Pingsheng's head exploded in an instant, and countless images and sounds turned out in front of him like a slideshow.
Network voice chat is an important node in the transition of Internet chat from the era of text + picture to the era of voice + video.
If it is said that in the era of text + pictures, Tengxun's QQ has driven other competitors out of this market with an absolute advantage, and monopolized this market for ten years, becoming the hegemon of Internet social networking.
In the era of voice + video, Tengxun's advantage is in jeopardy, and even some latecomers have caught up one after another, such as cat teeth and dog fighting in the field of live broadcasting, such as fast swishing in the field of short video, fighting sound, etc., if it weren't for Tengxun's prestige as a big killer, the entire pattern of the Internet social field would be turned upside down.
In the transition process of these two stages, there is a software application that plays a role in connecting the past and the future, and that is to let the happy era establish the industry position and provide the most profitable YY voice.
Starting from YY voice, Happy Times not only established the profit model of online voice chat, but also developed a live broadcast business from YY voice, and cultivated a second listed company, that is, the future generation of Maoya live broadcast.
And the beginning of all this is inseparable from the cultivation and accumulation of a large number of user bases by YY voice, and having YY voice is the first ticket to the live broadcast industry in the future.
That's why Ren Pingsheng was so excited when he thought of it.
In 2007, Li Xuelin and the happy era have not realized the importance of YY voice, and their current energy is all invested in the development of Dole Games.
And Lei Jun, who has always had a unique vision, once again brought his layout to the front of Ren Pingsheng.
It's a pity that this time they are facing a reborn.
Ren Pingsheng not only wants to win IS voice, but also to win the entire online voice chat market before YY voice takes shape, laying the foundation for future competition with Tengxun in the field of social media.
Old friend, I'm sorry, I'm going to cut off my beard this time.
……
Back in Hanhai City, Ren Pingsheng immediately contacted Hanhai Qinshang Internet Technology Co., Ltd., which developed IS voice, and proposed his own acquisition intention.
Contrary to Ren Pingsheng's expectations, the founder and CEO of Qinshang Company is not a common IT man who is usually engaged in Internet entrepreneurship, Xu Ridong is 38 years old this year, graduated from Southwest Jiaotong University in 1991, with a square face and a lion nose, a middle-aged entrepreneur's temperament, and his conversation is also mature and stable.
After a few words, Ren Pingsheng understood why IS voice couldn't get the YY voice in the previous life, most of the factors should be attributed to the culture of the company, or it has a lot to do with the personality of the founder.
Xu Ridong is an entrepreneur who has been in business for many years, he is very experienced in the operation and management of enterprises, but too much experience is not necessarily a good thing, and the disadvantages are that he attaches too much importance to the company's revenue, does not dare to invest boldly in the future, and is used to satisfying the abundant life of small families.
This spirit of not seeking merit but seeking no fault determines that IS voice cannot grow into an industry giant under the leadership of Xu Ridong, and also determines the outcome of IS voice defeat in this voice war.
But Xu Ridong's character has disadvantages and advantages, the disadvantage is that he can't make a company bigger and stronger, and the advantage is that he doesn't have a strong sense of exclusivity, unlike the founders of many companies, who regard the control of the company as more important than their own lives, and would rather maintain independence than accept the holding of external capital.
For Xu Ridong, as long as there is a suitable price, the business he founded is not impossible to sell.
Before Ren Pingsheng approached, IS had received offers from two investors, one was of course Lei Jun, and the other was also familiar to Ren Pingsheng, that is, Zhou Hongyi, who was born with 361 and other series of products in later generations, and was nicknamed "Red Cannon".
When it comes to investing in IS voice, although he started later than Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi, Ren Pingsheng also has several advantages.
First, the investment intensity is different. Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi's investments are angel investments, with an investment scale of several million yuan, and the equity they want is less than 30%, and they have little interest in the controlling stake of the company.
Second, the purpose of investment is different. Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi's investment in IS Voice is mainly optimistic about the development potential of this field, which is equivalent to a kind of early seeding, and the future development still depends on IS itself, and there is no overall strategic consideration.
Third, the urgency of investment is different. Although Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi are interested, they are currently in contact with IS through their subordinates, while Ren Pingsheng came to talk as the boss himself, and he was more sincere and sincere than those two.
And the conditions prescribed by Ren Pingsheng are also solid and sufficient.
1. Ren Pingsheng is willing to buy 80% of the shares of IS Voice at a price of 25 million yuan, which is more than double the price of Lei Jun's bid, and if Xu Ridong agrees, Ren Pingsheng is willing to buy it all for 30 million yuan.
2. After the completion of the acquisition, IS Voice will operate as a strategic partner of Universal Games, and the two companies will carry out all-round cooperation in the fields of game voice and entertainment voice to achieve a win-win synergy.
3. After the completion of the acquisition, Xu Ridong will continue to operate the company as a manager and maintain the original management team.
It can be said that Ren Pingsheng's conditions are more superior and more tempting than the other two, and Xu Ridong cannot refuse such an offer.
But in the end, Xu Ridong chose another plan, he sold 80% of the shares to Ren Pingsheng, and also sold the remaining 20% of the shares to Lei Jun.
Xu Ridong's abacus is good, he wants to sell the company at the best price, and at the same time, introduce a powerful small shareholder to compete with the majority shareholder who has a controlling stake, and he will be in the middle of the middle, so that both parties have to accept their existence in the company.
This was Xu Ridong's wishful thinking, but he didn't expect that it was precisely because of his small abacus that he was cleared out of the game in the future.
Although it is a little regrettable, Ren Pingsheng finally accepted this plan, after all, Lei Jun is an old acquaintance, and the 20% shares he owns will not pose much threat to himself, and he will carry out in-depth cooperation with Lei Jun next, there is no need to create contradictions at this juncture.
However, after taking control of the company, it is imperative to carry out a purge of the current management.
