Different from the Lantern Festival during the holiday during the study period, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone has already taken their places and started all aspects of preparation for the second financing of Zhanxiong Group.

In fact, the relevant preparations have already begun, and some of the work has not stopped since the first financing a few years ago, such as the contact with some venture capital institutions and the management of network resources.

Wei Jun and Dong Zhengyu have had more than one or two rounds of contact with interested investors in the capital market, and now the valuation of Zhanxiong Group is much higher than the previous two years, and last year's Double 11 promotion has given investors enough confidence.

So although there is a lot of work to prepare, all aspects seem to be orderly and orderly, but in addition to financing, there are also other troubles, such as the call Feng Yiming just received this morning.

At the same time as the decision to start the second batch of financing in the second half of last year, Feng Yiming definitely started the largest organizational structure adjustment since the division of the executive committee and business group at the same time as the financing of the Zhanxiong Group in discussions with Wei Jun and other senior executives of the group and the Economic Research Institute.

The overall structure has not changed, but a considerable part of the industry has become independent through complex equity relations, such as the newly acquired Lei Puppet E-commerce and Baimin Dianping.com, which are dispersed through the investment company wholly owned by Zhanxiong Group and Tianchen Investment, and are expected to integrate resources to merge and become independent subsidiaries in May and June this year.

Similarly, Maxthon Browser, Panda Voice and Qiqi Chinese.com, although they still accept the jurisdiction of the president of the business group and still use the resources of the Zhanxiong system, they are independent in terms of organizational structure.

These companies will not accept this batch of financing, and the Zhanxiong Group itself and its subsidiaries that accept the second round of financing, such as Tianyun Technology, Yipin.com, Yipin Logistics, New Meager Company, etc.

For the adjustment of the organizational structure of Zhanxiong Group, the capital market has had different reactions, some investors believe that Zhanxiong intends to cross the river and dismantle the bridge, and some investors believe that this is in line with the law of the capital market itself, after all, there are many precedents similar to seeking financing from the parent company.

For the latter statement, Feng Yiming, Wei Jun and others are a little weak-hearted, because they are about to make Yifubao independent, Wei Jun tried to distinguish between the IT industry and the financial industry in the exchange with Google CEO Schmidt, which was reprimanded by Zha Jianchi as a cover-up and stealing the bell.

In the first batch of financing of Zhanxiong Group in the past few years, the number of investors is actually not small, but the majority of them are Google, and it is really difficult to say whether it can accept the independence of Yifubao, which has the strongest profit reflecting ability in Zhanxiong Group...... This is likely to raise questions in the Western world about China's business credibility and rule guarding.

"Since the industrialization and commercialization of the IT industry, it has never been ......separated from the financial industry," Wei Jun shrugged, "I also know this truth, but I just passed through the rumors first, Ma Yun's early action was quite fast, and it has been half a month since the end ......of the New Year, and there has been no movement at all."

"Do you still need to think about this?" Feng Yiming was dumbfounded, "We can find out that Ma Yun is trying to privatize Alipay, and people can also find out that the fund company was reorganized into Tianpeng Financial ......"

Dong Zhengyu on the side couldn't help laughing, "So, Feng Shao, you and Ma Yun are waiting for the other party to make the first move?"

Feng Yiming flattened his mouth and didn't speak, there is no doubt that making the payment platform independent and personal is a very undisciplined and bad thing that violates business ethics, and the first person to do it will be burdened with additional pressure.

Looking down at his watch, Feng Yiming turned his head and asked, "What time is your appointment with Lao Kang?"

"It's two o'clock, and it's not half past one yet. Wei Jun looked down at the document and said casually: "He verbally resigned on the phone this morning. ”

"Is that necessary?" Feng Yiming shook his head, "I still have to discuss something with Lao Liang, and I have to go to Xinghai Technology in the past two days, Wu Zhen is in a hurry......

"I heard that Mr. Wu jumped to his feet and scolded some people, but he couldn't see the benefits ......of national brands," Dong Zhengyu asked with a smile: "I heard that the product launch time is going to be delayed?"

"Well, I communicated with Lin Wenwu...... I'll answer the phone. Feng Yiming looked at the name on the phone screen and walked into the next room with a smile.

"Hey, Mr. Ma, Happy New Year. ”

"Pull it down, the Lantern Festival has passed for more than a week, even if it is to worship the old age, it is a little late!" Ma Yun scolded with a smile: "When will you do it?"

"What hands, what hands?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, there is already news on my side, as early as May, and as late as August, the central bank will re-examine the payment license. Ma Yun lowered his voice, "You got a financial company the year before last, you wouldn't have thought of it a long time ago, right?"

"How is it possible!" Feng Yiming shook his head again and again, "Don't say I didn't expect it, even if I thought of it, I wouldn't have become independent early, without Yifubao or Alipay, where would Zhanxiong and Ali's financing be so smooth......"

"That's just as well. Ma Yun laughed a few times, "You're busy with the second round of financing during this time, right?"

"That's all about Wei Jun and Liang Xing......"

Ma Yun didn't wait for Feng Yiming to finish speaking, and then interrupted in a negative way: "Let me remind you, the frequency of talent flow in Internet technology companies is very high now, even if you put so much effort into human resources, you may not be able to do everything well......

Hearing Feng Yiming didn't say anything, Ma Yun smiled and said: "Wei Jun and Liang Xing have a hand in management, but after all, they were not born in the IT industry in the early days, and their connections are not so wide, but I have heard that at least Qiandu and Penguins have reached out......"

I only received a call from Kang Weiji and Wei Jun this morning, Feng Yiming didn't take it seriously at first, but now he reacted, thinking of all the rumors circulating on the Internet in his previous life, Feng Yiming finally understood.

"You owe me a favor...... Hey, don't disagree!"

"This is also a favor? People twist vine was also favored by me back then, and now I still turn my face and don't recognize people, these years of poaching, lawsuits have not been broken, I met once in Yanjing last year, and I didn't even mention that I borrowed tens of thousands of yuan to let him last a few more days......"

"I don't care about your slimy things, didn't you dig Zhang Xiaolong the same way, but we ...... Hey, hey, it's really hanging!"

As soon as he returned to the conference room, Kang Wei Ji, who had already come in advance, immediately stood up from his seat and lowered his head slightly in the direction where Feng Yiming came from, "I have found out, it's ......"

"It's Qiandu and penguins, right?" Feng Yiming sat down expressionlessly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "But the key question is how determined the team is to leave, and the key is whether they want to get more operation and management rights by retreating...... or shares......"

Some companies went out independently or even formed group companies, this matter was decided by Zhanxiong senior management and the Economic Research Institute in November last year, and Conway Ji selected the starting point Chinese website with the greatest possible value-added and strongest potential, and acquired five or six literary websites in the next two months, and is expected to formally form Tianyue Group after the year.

And just when all the preparations were almost over, the senior management of the core website of Tianyue Group, the starting point of Chinese.com, and the team led by the five founders submitted a collective resignation.

Wei Jun turned the pen in his hand and asked, "I heard that this resignation storm did not start after the year, but because they had opinions on the jurisdiction and scope of the Tianyue Group over the starting point Chinese network, and even did not accept your proposal for the president of the group?"

"Yes, the two sides sat down and negotiated, and I proposed to give them more autonomy, but they still refused, and instead proposed the possibility of MBO managers to buy, I naturally refused on the spot. ”

Feng Yiming and Wei Jun both nodded, although the starting point Chinese network has no profit output so far, but it is the most important link in the group's layout in the entertainment business group, without the starting point Chinese network, the group's layout does not say that it will stop dying, but it has also become a rootless tree and a source of water.

As a reborn person, Feng Yiming knows better than others that with the huge advantages of starting point Chinese network works as IP adaptation, now the "Tomb Robbery Notes" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series not only have a wide influence among the younger generation of readers, but also the adapted TV series and movies will also have considerable profit output.

"Originally, I planned to formally form Tianyue Group first, and some problems can be resolved through negotiation slowly......," Kang Weiji's face was full of bitterness, "but I didn't expect that I suddenly proposed a collective resignation last night......

Wei Jun frowned and asked, "In your judgment, do they really want to leave or retreat?"

"The reason why I want to leave the problem for later is because I judge that they are retreating. Kang Wei Ji paused and continued: "But then I found out that it was wrong, almost all the teams led by Wu Wenhui were among them...... Later, I remembered that Penguin had made an offer in November last year to wholly acquire Qiqi Chinese.com for $160 million. ”

Feng Yiming on the side grinned, the more he listened, the more he felt that it was wrong, Ma Dan, this scene seems familiar!

Flipping through the documents that I hadn't looked at, I unsurprisingly saw a very familiar name on it.

It is proposed that Hou Daqiang will be the president of Tianyue Group, and will be in charge of the operation and derivative projects of seven literary websites, including Qiqi Chinese Network.

Tsk, this is a character who single-handedly forced a literary website to revise the criteria for selecting online literature gods!

Feng Yiming looked at the name, and then looked up at Kang Wei Ji, who was reporting to Wei Jun, his eyes were a little strange.

In the previous life, it was this Hou Daqiang who served as the president of Shanda Literature, in fact, the so-called Shanda Literature is basically the starting point Chinese network, and Chen Tianqiao's price for Shanda Literature and the starting point Chinese network is the same.

As a result, the grudge between Wu Wenhui, the president of the starting point Chinese Network, and Hou Daqiang, the president of Shanda Literature, has become a well-known legend in the online literature industry, and both sides have to die and die, and it is said that even the incident of smashing the window glass of others has happened, and Hou Daqiang used the power of the boss Chen Tianqiao to sweep Wu Wenhui, who was originally retreating into advance, out of the house.

However, Wu Wenhui hooked up with Penguin's Ma Huateng, and in just a few years, he staged a return of the king and a reverse takeover of Shanda Literature, which has since established a dominant situation in the online literature industry.

The starting point of this life is the Chinese network was wholly acquired by Feng Yiming three or four years ago, and then changed hands from Tianchen Investment to Zhanxiong Group's entertainment business group, after several capital injections, the website developed much faster than in the previous life, in 2007 signed more than 6,000 authors, the average monthly income per person exceeded 3,000 yuan, registered users exceeded 20 million, daily traffic exceeded 300 million, of course, the paid reading rate is still single digits, but the proportion of advertising revenue and copyright sales revenue began to rise.

Feng Yiming is free and goes up from time to time to take a few looks, it seems that a few books that have come out at this time in his previous life have disappeared, but unfortunately Feng Yiming doesn't have that writing, let alone that time, otherwise he still wants to register an author number and pretend to be compared!

"It's a top-down clash between the will of the group and the operation team, not your responsibility alone. Wei Jun said slowly: "The starting point Chinese network is not very good in the society now, but the development potential is very well received in the industry, and it has been poached in the past few years, but this time it ......."

Kang Weiji's face was bitter, "Feng Shao, Mr. Wei, this incident is my responsibility." ”

"Your responsibility?" Feng Yiming dropped the document and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what are the responsibilities?

Kang Wei Ji's heart was cold, and he was speechless for a while when he looked at the boss's smiling face.

"Do you still remember the copyright issue of "Kyushu World"?" Feng Yiming shook his head, "It's been four or five years now, and it's been arguing, although this is the reason why we use this to hype up and set up promotions." ”

"It's all a wholly-owned acquisition, can't the road traveled by "Kyushu Tianxia" inspire you?" Feng Yiming crossed his hands in front of him, "For the founders and actual operation team of a company and a project, there are only two things that can ensure that they can continue to exert their capabilities. ”

"The first is interest, specifically equity. ”

"The second is to give them the space and platform to exert their abilities, specifically to the starting point Chinese online, is to give them the maximum choice of development direction, after all, through the Internet channel to sell text...... This is a path that has not been taken by those who have gone before, and they are the pioneers. ”

"I don't see either of these things in this document. Feng Yiming mouthed at the document Nunu on the table, "Zhanxiong Group has never been stingy, never kept the shares in hand, take Wu Wenhui, CEO of the starting point Chinese Network, as an example, his contract does not mention shares, not even option awards." ”

As early as eight years ago in Yangcheng, I tried my best to promote Zhanxiong employees to start their own businesses, and even promised that even if they failed, they would leave a way back. ”

"The e-commerce business group only has Yipin.com and the newly acquired but equally independent Lei Wu E-commerce and People's Comments, but Nie Wei's influence in the industry is all over the country. Feng Yiming sighed: "In my opinion, the most important thing for them is interests, otherwise Wu Wenhui would not have proposed a plan for managers to repurchase shares." ”

Feng Yiming knew that after Wu Wenhui left Shanda Literature in his previous life, he led a group of old subordinates to start a second business, during which he experienced countless suppressions, and even his subordinates were criminally detained, but in the end, the newly started literary website was built to compete with the starting point Chinese network, and this person's ability must be recognized.

On Wu Wenhui's experience in Shanda Literature and Yuewen Group, it also reflects Feng Yiming's point of view, from no equity to equity, from being controlled or even suppressed by Hou Daqiang to single-handedly controlling the entire Yuewen Group.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the division of interests and the right to speak, and in this matter, Kang Weiji is not smart enough and too petty.
