Chapter 1196: Do you want to break up
For the chairman of a large group company, performing on stage is definitely not a simple matter, and it needs to be pondered.
In the business world, many bigwigs have their own style.
Some bigwigs have very good conditions, like to show off their skills, sing a classic song with good timbre and a wide vocal range, and some even make a tall musical instrument and play and sing by themselves;
The big guy likes to be funny, wearing gorgeous women's clothes, wearing gorgeous wigs, rubbing powder, dotting lips, drawing eyebrows and eyes, and having an exaggerated dance;
Some bigwigs like to express their feelings, and with a voice that is not too good or bad, they sing about nothing;
What Mu Dong chose this time was a light-hearted and humorous entertainment route, a little exaggerated, but not too exaggerated.
Meantime. He pulled up the two general managers of Dadong Real Estate and Dadong Express, expressing his weight and giving himself courage.
Therefore, when it comes to the position of Boss Mu, in the company's affairs, nothing can be treated simply, even if it is just singing a song at the company's party.
β¦β¦
Mu Dong, Liu Datian and Zhu Xuesong, each wearing a fat cartoon-style tiger costume, yellow and black stripes, and a long tail behind their buttocks, the faces of the three of them wore a wide and exaggerated tiger mask.
Except for a few insiders, most of them don't know the identities of the three people on stage.
Everyone has seen too many wonderful performances in one night, and similar funny styles have not aroused attention. There are two things that people are most concerned about right now.
One, when will the big boss take the stage?
2. When will the first prize be drawn?
β¦β¦
In the face of the sparse applause and the buzzing crowd below, Boss Mu had no choice but to speak: "What, aren't you welcome?"
The high-fidelity audio equipment clearly transmitted Mu Dong's voice, even if he didn't take off the mask, even if the mask made his voice a little muffled, many people still understood it, this is Mr. Mu!
Boom β
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, followed by applause and cheers.
Mu Dong was very satisfied, and wanted to snap his fingers, but found that the fluffy cloth cover on his hand could not make such a chic movement, so he had to raise his front paws and wave them twice.
The applause was warm again, and the music was also up, and the light-hearted beating notes formed the prelude to "Green Apple Paradise".
The audience immediately understood that there was a "tiger team" on stage, and it followed the path of the Little Tigers singing in the Spring Festival Gala a few years ago.
However, who are the two writhing tigers in the back?
Well, the rehearsal time of the three of them is too short, and the neat and uniform dance moves can't be done, so they can only twist it twice casually according to their respective performances.
The music prelude ended, and the three of them spoke step by step.
Don't linger at midnight on weekends
Come to Appleland
Stray children are welcome
β¦β¦
Speaking from the heart, the singing is not good, even the minimum synchronization of the three people is not good, and the timbre is not beautiful, plus the random walking of the three people and the twisting of the illusory body are really embarrassing.
Of course, just because I can't sing well, I take such a funny route, if I sing well, it should be a straight suit with black hair, and a serious introduction.
However, the audience loved to watch such a funny, the applause and cheers continued, and the people in the back row even stood up. I usually see that the boss has a strong aura, but now with such a down-to-earth move, even if there are some spicy eyes, I am happy to look at it.
Where is it so easy to see a billionaire twisting his ass in a cartoon costume?
β¦β¦
Boss Mu's singing skills are okay, he firmly controls the melody of the person, and strives to drive Liu Datian and Zhu Xuesong, so that the chorus of the three people is barely in tune with the accompaniment.
After "Green Apple Paradise", it is "Love", followed by the slightly soothing "Dancing Butterfly Flying", by the time of the third song, the three people on the stage have completely let go, or rather, they have completely let go, the voices of the three are basically synchronized, and the accompaniment is basically in line, the three of them walk on the stage more freely, and the twisting of the body is also more abundant.
After singing the three songs, when the volume of the accompaniment became smaller and smaller, the three of them ripped off the masks on their faces and threw them to the audience, then waved and quickly exited, leaving no chance for everyone to coax "another song".
Well, the audience was messed up, and it took a long time to laugh and laugh before the ownership of the three masks was determined.
β¦β¦
There is no show in the back, only the lottery remains, and the final first prize is drawn by Wang Xinlan, and the three members of the Tiger team did not show up again until the end of the party.
β¦β¦
On the way back, Xiao Xiaole said to Mu Dong: "Everyone is waiting for you to say a few more words on stage, why didn't you show up?"
Mu Dong touched his chin and said helplessly: "If I say I'm embarrassed, do you believe it?"
"Hey, hey, haha, believe, believe too much. Husband, you impress me. Xiao Xiao laughed wildly.
"Hehe, what's the reaction of the others? I can't see it clearly on stage. Mu Dong asked.
"Basically, their faces are full of disbelief, well, especially little Shirley, her eyes are about to pop out. β
"Well, I won't be at work tomorrow, so I'll have to hide for a few days. Mu Dong said helplessly.
β¦β¦
The next day, Boss Mu really went to the capital.
As a result, as soon as she sat down in the office of Dadong Semiconductor, Liu Fangfei came in in a hurry, blinked and asked, "Boss, I received a video of you singing and dancing last night?"
Mu Dong was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Who sent it to you, it won't be uploaded to the Internet, right?"
Liu Fangfei couldn't help but smile and said: "The public relations department has issued a notice to prohibit external communication, and whoever has a problem will be punished." Intra-company communication is allowed, boss, I admire you like ......"
I couldn't go on, and Boss Mu's face on the other side was a little ugly.
Liu Fangfei saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Mu, I'll arrange lunch for you." β
Then immediately slip away.
β¦β¦
Liu Fangfei was just the beginning, and then, a group of executives from Dadong Semiconductor came to Boss Mu's office one after another, reporting their work seriously, but there was always an unspeakable chuckle between their eyebrows.
Even Wu Gang and Yan Sangzi came over one after another and said some inconsequential things.
Boss Mu sighed: Okay, it's good for you to be happy. Fortunately, I hid here, and if I was still in the group headquarters, I wouldn't be annoyed to death.
β¦β¦
In fact, Mu Dong couldn't hide for a few days, and it was New Year's Day in 2015 in the blink of an eye, and there were many things.
On the first day of the new year, Boss Mu flew back to Lunan to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the new site of Dadong Commerce.
The land transaction for the new site was completed at the end of October, and then it took only two months to complete the design and construction preparations, and the efficiency is still good.
In addition, the most complex building of the new site is a six-storey office complex, in addition to the tall steel structure factory and the wide drying field, the design difficulty is still very low.
For example, the building adopts a mature design scheme and only needs to be slightly modified.
The groundbreaking ceremony was quite lively, the main leaders of the city and county participated, and in the business community, Mu Dong did not notify anyone, first, everyone was busy at this time, and secondly, this matter was too small.
β¦β¦
After the celebration, Gao Min reported the situation to Mu Dong.
She said that it will take three months to complete the construction of two large warehouses, a temporary office and living room, a drying workshop and all drying sites, and then vacate the old factory area in Tanzhuang Town to start a kindergarten.
Mu Dong reminded: "This time period coincides with the Spring Festival, and the weather is relatively cold, so there is no need to be so nervous. β
Gao Min said confidently: "In terms of construction, Dadong Real Estate's colleagues are very experienced, the installation and welding of the steel structure workshop, the construction under winter conditions can be guaranteed, and the local construction personnel in Lunan can be mobilized as much as possible to participate, which can ensure the construction period." β
Mu Dong nodded: "That's good." β
Gao Min continued: "Mr. Mu, over there in the kindergarten, most of the buildings in the courtyard are to be demolished, and the three-story small building, will it be retained or rebuilt?"
Mu Dong received a test report from the small building a few days ago, and the report believes that the quality of the small building is very good, the structure is stable, and under the current conditions, it can continue to be used for more than 20 years, which is basically consistent with the design life of the small building for 50 years. As a small brick and concrete building with a frame structure, this quality is absolutely worthy of the conscience of the original design and builder.
"Let's keep it, this small building was originally a primary school teaching building, and it is very suitable for kindergarten. Well, it needs to be redecorated anyway, so take the opportunity to reinforce it to make sure it's foolproof. Mu Dongdao.
Gao Min was stunned: "Reinforcement, don't you?"
Mu Dong thought for a while and said: "You may only focus on the service life and ignore a key issue - the seismic level. I hope that the reinforced building will be able to withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake. β
Gao Min blushed instantly, his mind was full of rushing for the construction period, but he forgot about the problem of earthquake prevention.
β¦β¦
After returning to Quancheng in the afternoon, Mu Dong rested for two more days, and did not start work until the 4th of January.
The little girl at the front desk saw Boss Mu appear, her smile hid a playfulness, and after seeing Mu Dong enter the elevator, she secretly took out her mobile phone and sent out a > brain axe, which is Boss Mu's new nickname, which sounds much cuter than the big boss.
β¦β¦
A quarter of an hour later, Boss Mu learned his nickname from Chen Bishu's mouth, which made him feel helpless.
Brain axe, big/old/tiger, how weird it sounds.
Alas, whatever you call it, you can't stop it. Besides, it doesn't seem like a bad thing.
Chen Bishu left quickly, followed by Wang Xinlan, who came to discuss with Mu Dong about the latest financing of Charm Xiuxiu.
Since Dadong Group and Charm Xiuxiu signed a supplementary agreement, stipulating that 5% of the shares will not be diluted and the total shareholding ratio will not be less than 25%, the cooperation between the two parties has been relatively smooth.
In recent years, the number of users has been growing rapidly, and by the end of 2014, the number of users had reached nearly 400 million, most of which were mobile users.
This illustrates three things:
First, it is human nature to love beauty, and the products of charm and beauty greatly satisfy this nature;
Second, there are really too many users who need to use Charm Xiuxiu products to decorate the faΓ§ade;
Third, with such a large user base, the investment value of Charm Xiuxiu is very huge.
Under various favorable factors, since 2013, Charm Xiuxiu Company has carried out three consecutive rounds of B, C and C+ rounds of financing, with financing amounts of US$10 million, US$50 million and US$110 million respectively.
In these three rounds of financing, the amount of financing has risen sharply again and again, but the market acceptance has been as stable as Mount Tai, and each time it has been subscribed out.
In this process, Dadong Group invested a huge amount of money, with three rounds of financing of $4 million, $15 million and $20 million respectively. After the C+ round of investment, Dadong Group's shareholding ratio was finally diluted from 40% to 25%, including 5% of non-dilutable shares.
In the recent past, Charm Xiuxiu will launch another D round of financing, this time with a larger financing amount of $190 million, while Dadong Group must invest more than $38 million again if it wants to maintain a 25% stake.
Wang Xinlan's suggestion was to give up this follow-up investment and sell his shares.
In other words, I don't play with Charm Xiuxiu.
This made Mu Dong very surprised: "Xin Lan, Charm Xiuxiu has begun to prepare for overseas listing, why should we withdraw?"
Wang Xinlan said: "Mr. Mu, generally speaking, I am not optimistic about the future of this company, now is the best time to exit, if it is later, it will become difficult to withdraw." And I predict that they will have to make more than two rounds of investment, and if they continue to chase after it, they may need to add hundreds of millions of dollars, which is too risky. β
As he spoke, Wang Xinlan handed over a document: "Mr. Mu, this is my detailed analysis report, this matter is very important, my report is for reference only, and you can decide the specific conclusions." β
After speaking, Wang Xinlan said goodbye and left.
β¦β¦
It took Mu Dong half an hour to carefully read the document in his hand, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Wang Xinlan's analysis, after putting aside a variety of detailed data lists and data models, there are three main ideas.
First, although the user base of Charm Xiuxiu is huge, the software is all free and the profit model is not clear;
Second, it took three or four years for the management to derive stable profitable projects from the huge user group, and the management level and innovation ability are questionable;
Third, the only mobile phone project derived from it, the number of sales in the past two years has been below 300,000 units, with an average of less than 25,000 units per month, that is to say, although everyone uses the free software of the charming Xiuxiu, but they do not agree with the company's brand strength and physical products.
Therefore, Wang Xinlan believes that a company with no brand recognition, insufficient innovation ability, and vague profit model, even if it is now full of flowers, the future prospects are absolutely not optimistic, and the analysis results of the data model also correspond to her views.
This made Mu Dong have to pay attention to it and began to think carefully about this important matter.
Do you want to break up with Charm Xiuxiu?
