Chapter 171: Response
Fang Zhanping, Wang Ge, Liang Long, and Nong Xinwu should be regarded as the so-called "get rich first" group of people, and the way they practice "getting rich first leads to getting rich later" is to do venture capital.
Of course, it is a "risky" investment with local characteristics.
Venture capital is a literal translation of the English phrase Venture Capital (referred to as VC or venture capital), which actually refers to high-risk and high-return venture capital, to be precise, high-tech venture capital, otherwise the "high-risk, high-return" unsecured lending behavior of high-interest-loan can also be regarded as venture capital.
The risk of venture capital is, on the one hand, that the investment project is a high-tech project in a completely new field, and various unknown reasons may emerge at any time to cause the project to die, and the investment will naturally be lost; on the other hand, the venture capital is unsecured, and the entrepreneur who fails the project does not need to bear huge debts.
On the one hand, venture capital investment is that it is possible to obtain a considerable share of a big business at a very low price, and then make a profit by cashing out the shares or dividends of the shares, and on the other hand, it also cultivates allies and friends by investing in entrepreneurs.
Domestic Internet companies basically rely on venture capital to develop, the founders have completed their entrepreneurial dreams, and venture capitalists have also achieved high returns of 100 times and 1,000 times.
It is also because of these first foreign venture capitalists who ate crabs that they have eaten the meat, and a large number of "first rich" class and growing industry giants have also begun to set up their own venture capital, the former to make money and the latter to expand alliances.
Fang Zhanping's "venture capital" is different from ordinary venture capital, many of Fang Zhanping's family work in the banking system, although he cannot easily get a low-interest loan to join the real estate army, but it can also allow him to keep abreast of the operation information of ordinary enterprises.
When investigating the economic situation of individuals and companies, the Fang family's "family inter-bank communication mechanism" is far more efficient and direct than the communication and coordination of major banks.
Therefore, Fang Zhanping is mainly responsible for intelligence collection and project screening, and he has also made their small group of venture capitalists have not encountered major losses so far, of course, the conservative behavior of staring at the money bag at any time also makes their profit margin not too high, which is simply ashamed of the word "venture capital".
Wang Ge, who is usually the calmest in the four-person group, is in charge of the final decision, of course, he only makes his own investment plan, but because he has always been a good partner, Fang Zhanping, Liang Long, and Nong Xinwu, the three of them also trust to follow his steps. As for Liang and Nong, as they sometimes laugh at themselves, they belong to the duo of "food and agriculture" and are responsible for providing ammunition.
Out of a self-deprecating mentality, the four of them established the Food and Agriculture Investment Co., Ltd., an investment company that has little to do with agriculture, as a platform for foreign investment.
Although Liang Long lamented that the four of them did not earn as much as Atletico Madrid earned in half a year last year, the grain and agriculture company is a large company with a scale of hundreds of millions of yuan, which is far from being comparable to the current little bees.
With their investment in other industries in Ludao, the accumulated contacts, and many years of rich experience in investment, I believe that Bee Technology, which is ready to welcome foreign investment, will not refuse.
After the bee technology was included in the next investment investigation, the four people of the food and agriculture group began to investigate the bee technology more deeply, and more and more unknown secrets of this start-up company with a history of more than half a year were discovered by the four people.
In addition to Fang Zhanping's "Daming OL" that he liked at the beginning, Wang Ge was full of praise for "Bee mobile phone platform BEP (Bee OS is called externally because I am embarrassed to use the name OS OS)".
As the two major feature computer software platforms that compete with the color platform, Bee's BEP has fewer games and software, but all of them are carefully selected products. Moreover, backed by the CTA Stara network, the needs of some niche software users to "port xx software/games" or "seek a xx function software" can be quickly responded, and most of them can be launched quickly to meet the special needs of users.
Therefore, if you count according to the type of software, such as note-taking software and one game, the number of software and games on BEP is actually more and better.
However, for various reasons, they only rely on Bee's own software to promote, and they have not become a pre-installed operating system for a large number of copycat feature phones like their competitors, and only mobile phones from Jupiter Communications will be pre-installed with BEP. Although many copycat users have swiped BEP after buying their mobile phones, most copycat phones still maintain the pre-installed color platform.
Therefore, at this moment, the domestic mobile phone market has formed a strange pattern of imported smart phones with Symbian, domestic brand smart phones with Microsoft WM, domestic brand feature phones using manufacturer-made systems, most of the copycat machines using color systems, a small number of copycat machines and a large number of old imported mobile phones using bee BEP.
Or it is a three-point world, because WM smartphones are expensive and generally sold, domestic regular mobile phone manufacturers generally lost money last year and are about to bend their eyebrows to the MTK program, and they should also choose a color system that supports MTK in the future.
For the strategy of bee BEP focusing on old mobile phones and not doing copycat pre-installation, the other three people all couldn't understand it, and they felt a little violent, until Wang Ge spit out a sentence: "The countryside surrounds the city!"
In fact, the reason is very simple, after breaking the trick, the three of them quickly disappeared, still because of two words: "No money!"
For the foursome of food and agriculture, the goal of no money is exactly what they are looking forward to, after all, who is willing to sell shares at a low price if they have money?
Bee Technology has seen rapid growth in performance for many times in the past six months, and there are traces of marketing with the help of social hotspots.
Bee simply took advantage of the trend and expanded the promoter system to all users, establishing the image of "installing Bee software for free and making money!", and successfully made the number of users exceed 5 million.
When the Panda Burning Incense virus broke out, and other antivirus software companies were in a hurry to catch up with the killing and upgrade the virus database, a large number of Panda Burning Incense-related reports and posts appeared on the Internet, "Bee Killing is like your immune system learning, natural immunity Panda Burning Incense!", and it instantly became the fifth largest antivirus software in the country.
Of course, the name of bee "average, fifth in the country" was ridiculed by the IT media and peers as soon as it came out: the first four are the official 2006 annual sales number, and the bee antivirus is the official number of downloads, and there is no statistics on the number of other users who kill software piracy, and there is no comparison at all.
However, the efficient immunity and killing ability of bee antivirus against new viruses under the condition of networking is also known and praised by the majority of users, and I believe that there will be a brighter future in the future.
During the Spring Festival, they promoted their PC and mobile phone dual-platform chat software Honey Chat used in the text message operation in which Honey Chat got a good exposure at the same time, a large number of imitation behaviors caused by it have not disappeared and are talked about.
At this moment, there are still a lot of New Year's greeting text messages and Lantern Festival blessing text messages transmitted in the air, but the payment on the tail of the text message has become the name of other companies and products, and the learning and imitation ability of the Chinese people is very strong: there are festivals like bees, looking for jokers for the characteristics of their own products, completely new editors, and those who have no festivals simply take all kinds of ready-made text messages to change the small tail and start sending it in groups.
With the help of the bulk SMS platform to achieve indiscriminate firepower coverage, these other manufacturers' New Year's greeting SMS and Lantern Festival blessing SMS quickly surpassed the initiator Bee Technology in the two indicators of the number of sent and the number of users covered, and also caused a large number of SMS disturbance incidents, which greatly heated up the expectations and attention of the subsequent 315 party. However, it seems that because of the schedule and material selection, mass text messages and SP chaos are not in this year's show.
Because it is inevitable to mention the initiator in the relevant news reports, Bee Technology and Honey Chat have once again gained a lot of free attention, and they are the attention of offline user groups that were difficult to reach in the past by Bee propaganda tools.
For bees, it is now necessary to strike while the iron is hot and increase the promotion of offline radio, television, newspapers and magazines, at this time, through overwhelming advertising, the user's impression of bees has deepened from "there is such a company" to "there is such a software company that pays money for free", which is really the right time. Missing this opportunity, although it is not "no more this store", will definitely lead to additional publicity costs, which is not in line with Bee's consistent style of "saving money and doing big things".
At this time, the investment of food and agriculture is not only a charcoal in the snow but also the icing on the cake, hello and me, is the best result. After identifying their goals, they began to try to reach out to Bee Technology, and received a positive response from them quickly: Zhang Yuexuan, general manager of Bee Technology, said that Bee was open to investment, but did not require pure cash investment.
When he came out of the software park and walked to his car, Wang Ge suddenly turned his head and said to Nong Xinwu: "Old farmer, they have taken a fancy to your electronics factory. ”
Among the four, Nong Xinwu is the oldest, and because of his surname, he has the nickname of "old farmer", which also means that he has the most land in his hands, like an old farmer.
Nong Xinwu started as an enterprise, and in the past 20 years, he has opened nearly 10 large and small factories in the vicinity of Ludao. Although his factory business gradually declined due to the deepening opening up of the mainland, and finally closed one after another, the land and factory buildings were still in his hands. As long as the nature of these factory plots can be solved, from industrial land to commercial land, his net worth can be multiplied several times, and he will become a billionaire in minutes.
The youngest, Fang Zhanping, quickly reacted, "They also ......?"
"Of course. Wang Ge was concise and to the point.
"The Lantern Festival has passed, and the lanterns in the park have been removed, what are you guessing?" Liang Long hurriedly asked.
"It's nothing, the bees said that they don't accept pure cash investment, and Lao Wang thinks that they may be interested in our other resources, which is a condition. He thought that the most likely thing for them was to take a fancy to the electronics factory under my name, and if the factory was merged into Bee in the form of investment, they would be able to organize their own production force and further expand production. ”
"Then I suspect that they may have privately investigated the background of several of us. Fang Zhanping added.
"Oh~, that's nothing, you can feel more at ease if you investigate each other clearly before cooperating. "Diplodocus is very open to this.
However, if he knew that the conversation between them and discussing the future and investment value of bees while trying out bee products a few days ago had been recorded and transmitted to Atletico Madrid, he didn't know if he would have been able to read it.
Originally, Atletico Madrid was still wondering why they had just started to restructure the company and prepare for the arrival of new investors, but some investors came to the door and thought that there was a ghost in the company. After knowing that the four-person group of food and agriculture was traced through technical means, he realized that it was the flawed banking system that was responsible for their past investment deeds.
For a freak like the Fang family who is rooted in the banking system, with relatives, friends and classmates all over the major state-owned banks, so they are extremely well-informed, Atletico Madrid has no good way. Whoever makes all state-owned enterprises actually have the same major shareholder, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, is born into a family, and the cross-unit transfer of senior executives between state-owned enterprises, and even cross-departmental transfers between state-owned enterprises and political axes occur from time to time, everyone is not surprised, and he can only try to adapt.
While learning to adapt, he still inevitably had some awkwardness in his heart, so not only was the bee company preparing for the change of opening bank, but Atletico Tang Jiayi also began to have some bank cards from foreign banks and joint-stock banks. Although it is said that the Tianxia Bank is one family, after all, these urban commercial banks that have been reorganized from credit cooperatives in other cities are far away, and it has become a lot of trouble to communicate with each other. However, this is only a "lose-lose" type of passive defense, but the losses suffered by themselves are significantly greater.
Facts have taught Atletico what it means to be a "fart-stock decides the head".
When he was just a poor student in the past, he saw reports in newspapers and magazines about the UBS secrecy system being used to evade taxes and launder money, and felt that Swiss bankers were really bad, and how could he not let people know that the money came from the open? But now, when his bank account is unscrupulously spied on or even picked up by others, he immediately becomes angry, completely forgetting that bees are actually spying on more people. Although it is the practice of almost all online companies to collect user usage data to analyze and improve the quality of their products, they only automatically extract information through AI programs and inform them to a certain extent......
Sure enough, "fart-stock determines the head, and the job bowl produces a stand".
Annoyed to annoyed, there is still merit in working with the Food and Agriculture Four. The introduction of local investors in Ludao is naturally beneficial for bees to expand their personal connections and improve their political and axe relationships. Atletico Zhang Yuexuan They did fall in love with the factories under the name of Liang Long, although these factories have long been shut down and cannot be used immediately, but the factory is still strong, and it can fight for another 30 years after decoration.
In addition to the lack of environmental protection and energy-saving indicators, the other indicators such as building sturdiness and anti-destruction are very satisfying, after all, it was a "national defense-front-line" at the beginning, coupled with complete water, electricity and sewage facilities, as well as the unique lush trees and large layer density of the old factory, it is no wonder that many people choose to move into the old factory.
Of course, not all old factories are suitable for secondary use, machinery factories and electronics factories are people's favorites, while chemical factories and pesticide factories should be avoided.
BJ's artists rented the 798 factory, which used to produce radio equipment, while Atletico Madrid's favorite factory was not an electronics factory, as Wang Ge had guessed, but a furniture factory.
Located just outside the island, this furniture factory is the largest of all the factories under the Liang Locus name, and at the same time the most remote in the area. However, with the construction of the city, the furniture factory located at the foot of the suburban mountain has also been encircled into the new industrial development zone, and the hardware conditions such as transportation, electricity, and communication have been greatly improved, and it is no longer the original old furniture factory.
Liang Long as a few years ago to divide and transform the furniture factory into more than a dozen small workshops were rented out, Atletico they naturally look at the furniture factory is not for the annual workshop workshop rental rent, but the furniture factory land.
Who said that I don't want to be mixed into the real estate tide, but as a measure to deal with the rise in housing prices and land prices, it is also a good choice to occupy a large area in advance and reserve space for future development, otherwise it will be like a software park, the first and second phases are dozens of kilometers away from one south and one north.
The reason why Zhang Yuexuan didn't say this to Liang Long and them during the meeting was because of a major event that happened around them recently, which made Atletico Madrid and him a little entangled and couldn't make up their minds.
Although it is a major event around him, the exposure was at the whole crab meeting of BJ more than 2,000 kilometers away. Several academicians of the Academy of Sciences jointly proposed that the new paraxylene PX project in the Ludao Industrial Development Zone be stopped and relocated. The reason is that the raw material of the project is benzene, a toxic substance, and the project is too close to the core area of the city, in case of leakage or even a violent incident, the consequences are unimaginable.
This big news broke out, and many people knew about PX for the first time, although products with PX as raw materials have long penetrated into all aspects of people's lives and can no longer be peeled off: from all kinds of chemical fiber clothing, to plastic beverage bottles, to the insulation layer from cables to USB data cables, there are polyester (PET, PBT) materials derived from PX everywhere.
Because of the deindustrialization of European and American countries, the textile industry and chemical industry have gradually migrated to Asia, and now nearly three-quarters of the world's px are in Asia. In 2006, the country produced 2.99 million tons of PX and imported 160. 80,000 tons, mainly from Japan and South Korea.
PET polyester material has excellent mechanical properties, bending resistance, wear resistance, insulation resistance, high and low temperature resistance, waterproof, oil resistance, solvent resistance, non-toxic and tasteless, can be directly used in food packaging, and more importantly, the synthesis process is simple and the cost is not high, so it is deeply liked by enterprises and consumers.
The PX project exposed by Ludao this time is to support the chemical fiber project next to it, which belongs to the normal business behavior of enterprises to develop upstream of the industrial chain in order to reduce the import cost of raw materials. PX production requires the use of aromatic hydrocarbon complexes, the raw material is naphtha (a light ingredient in petroleum, also known as crude gasoline), and the products are aromatic hydrocarbon products such as benzene (PHH, toxic, carcinogenic), paraxylene (PX, low toxicity) and o-xylene (OX, low toxicity).
At present, oil imports mainly rely on shipping, and most of the new large-scale petrochemical projects are near port cities, and PX is no exception.
However, because of the academician's resistance, the Ministry of Environment-Protection-Spread Hands, the support of the Hair ~ Reform * Committee, and the media shouted wolf, the ending of the Px project of Ludao has become confusing. The whole city and the whole country are paying attention to this matter, and Atletico Madrid has to pay attention to the follow-up development of this matter.
