Chapter 214: Help Lei Jun solve the problem
Ren Pingsheng flew directly to Yanjing City this time, mainly because of two things to do.
The first is to implement the funds of the "Shunwei Vent" fund. Of the 100 million yuan invested in Jingxi Mall this time, Ren Pingsheng accounted for the majority, subscribed and contributed 50 million yuan, accounting for 50%, Lei Jun subscribed and contributed 10 million yuan, accounting for 10%, and Cai Wensheng subscribed and contributed 8 million yuan, accounting for 8%; The brothers of the second class of three years contributed 10 million yuan, accounting for 10 percent, and the remaining 22 million yuan, or 22 percent, was contributed by an anonymous investor.
This anonymous investor was introduced by Lei Jun, but he insisted on not showing up, everything was operated by Lei Jun, although everyone was very curious about this person, but Lei Jun has always acted cautiously, since he introduced it, it must be reliable, so he didn't ask more.
However, after the investment of Shunwei Fund was settled, Lei Jun pulled Ren Pingsheng aside alone, and he had something to discuss.
The three partners have always cooperated well, got along well, and talked about everything, Lei Jun is not a person who can hide his secrets, and if he wants to talk to himself privately today, there should be other difficult things.
Sure enough, Lei Jun's matter was indeed a bit tricky, and he told Ren Pingsheng with a sad face:
Since Ren Pingsheng acquired YY Voice Company (formerly IS Voice Company), Lei Jun has become a minority shareholder of YY Voice.
Under the guidance of Ren Pingsheng, YY voice was an instant hit by embedding the built-in voice function of "Ideal World", and then threw out a cooperation plan with major domestic online game developers, applying YY voice technology to the current operation of online games, and has also achieved rapid development, up to now, YY voice has been embedded in 60% of online games on the market, and online game voice has become a new trend in the development of online games.
The sudden rise of YY's voice has also attracted many imitators and followers, among which the fastest action and fastest response is the happy era under Li Xuelin. In the previous life, YY voice, which was originally launched by the happy era, was preempted by Ren Pingsheng, but the development ability of the happy era is still very strong, and they launched their own online voice software slightly later than YY voice-Duole voice.
Although it appeared relatively late, with the platform advantages of Dole Games, Dole Voice also occupies a certain market share, especially the players of "World of Warcraft", due to path dependence, most of them habitually use Dole Voice.
But in this market, YY voice does not give up, and grabs users with Dole voice through various preferential means, and the two are fighting happily in the competition for players in "World of Warcraft", which is quite a bit of hand-to-hand combat.
The problem lies here, although Ren Pingsheng's YY voice has essentially competed with Duole Voice in the Happy Era, Ren Pingsheng does not hold many shares in the Happy Era, and is only the third small shareholder, which does not have much impact on the decision-making and development of the Happy Era.
Lei Jun is different, as an angel investor and major shareholder of Happy Times, he is also a minority shareholder of Ren Pingsheng's YY voice, which constitutes a competitive relationship between the two.
Although Lei Jun is a very professional investor and has a good reputation in the investment and IT circles, because he is also a shareholder of two competing companies in the same industry, it will inevitably cause people to have bad speculation and suspicion.
Among them, Li Xuelin's attitude is the most, although he is a little dissatisfied with Ren Pingsheng's behavior of rushing YY voice, but the company of the two was originally just a cooperative relationship of interests, and Ren Pingsheng basically did not participate in the board of directors and decision-making of the happy era, and the competition between the two is purely the norm of the market economy.
But Li Xuelin has a great opinion on Lei Jun, although Lei Jun is his angel investor, but the two have been friends and partners for many years, whether it is a personal relationship or official contacts, they are closer than Ren Pingsheng, Lei Jun's investment in YY voice and serving as a shareholder is difficult to accept in Li Xuelin's opinion.
So during this time, Li Xuelin complained to Lei Jun many times, complaining that his investment in YY Voice made it difficult for him to balance the bowl of water between the two companies, which harmed the interests of Happy Times.
Lei Jun is a sincere person, whether in public or private, he doesn't want Li Xuelin to misunderstand, so this matter has to be resolved in the end, which is why he talked to Ren Pingsheng in private.
Lei Jun's embarrassment, Ren Pingsheng saw it in his eyes.
Before investing in YY Voice, Ren Pingsheng had expected this situation, but at that time, he was only thinking about the problem of peer competition as a shareholder of Happy Times, and he also made corresponding plans.
Although Ren Pingsheng is very optimistic about the company Happy Times, he also has the patience to hold the company's shares until it is listed before it is realized.
However, compared with investment, Ren Pingsheng pays more attention to the development of his own career, YY voice, as an important part of building his own network ecosystem, and the account system tool to intervene in social networks in the future, has extremely important strategic value at present, and it is also the object of key investment and maturity in the near future.
Therefore, it is impossible for YY voice to give up, even if it is to compete head-on with Li Xuelin, he will not hesitate to kill his head and blood.
There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in the mall, only eternal interests.
In business, Ren Pingsheng is not a soft-hearted person, and he believes that Li Xuelin is not either.
However, Ren Pingsheng is a particular person, he doesn't want Lei Jun to be caught between the two, after all, Lei Jun has the grace to support him, and there is still a lot of room for cooperation between the two in the future.
In this matter, Ren Pingsheng can take a step back.
Therefore, Ren Pingsheng proposed a solution, he personally funded all the shares of Lei Jun in YY Voice, and turned the company into his own personal ownership; at the same time, Ren Pingsheng will withdraw from the board of directors of Happy Times, and entrust his voting rights held in Happy Times to Lei Jun, as Lei Jun's concerted action person.
In this way, Lei Jun got rid of the trouble of being a shareholder of two companies, and was able to better and more focus on fulfilling the responsibilities of a major shareholder of Happy Times; and after Ren Pingsheng withdrew from the board of directors of Happy Times, he was unable to understand and participate in the development and operation of Happy Times, and in essence, he had lost the right to speak in Happy Times, and only existed as a financial investor.
After the completion of this operation, Li Xuelin's previous suspicions and dissatisfaction were groundless, and the three parties could be freed from this capital dilemma and return to their main business.
For Ren Pingsheng's suggestion, Lei Jun was overjoyed and gladly accepted it.
Although he has always been very optimistic about the potential of YY Voice, after all, he has invested more in the company Happy Times, has more chips, and has a better personal relationship with Li Xuelin.
Ren Pingsheng's suggestion not only took into account Lei Jun's emotional character, but also took care of his interests to the greatest extent, and the matter was handled so thoughtfully and properly that he was impressed by this young man again.
Therefore, Lei Jun did not put forward too many requirements in the valuation of the shares of YY Voice, and sold it to Ren Pingsheng at a flat price at the purchase price at that time, with a consideration of 5 million yuan.
After the completion of this transaction, YY Voice will become a sole proprietorship owned by Ren Pingsheng, and will continue to play the role of a pawn in the network ecological platform and charge forward for Ren Pingsheng's Internet cause.
Since then, Ren Pingsheng and Li Xuelin have also completely torn off the veil of the previous cooperative relationship, and will compete on multiple fronts such as online voice, game platforms and media publicity in the future.
A new war is about to start again.
