098 To make a fortune!
"Penguin wanted to buy out a few of our games, but we never agreed. Zhou Tong took the document and handed it to Zhang Xian and explained, "We are talking about sharing now, but the pressure is very low." We wanted to get 30 percent, but the penguin gave less than 10 percent. The number of their users is too large, and they also know their advantages. ”
Zhang Xian smiled and said, "The penguin space is really good, and there are many red diamonds, yellow diamonds and the like, there are a lot of gimmicks." If you really want to divide it, these things have to be calculated clearly. ”
There is no need for Zhang Xian to say this, Wang Xin continued, "We know this, if we really reach an agreement, we will naturally stare at the background data." We're just calculating the impact and revenue if these games are promoted in the space, and that's all that matters. ”
"There's definitely a little bit of impact, but we're positioning ourselves. We're original, we're trend-setting, and that has to be known to everyone! And some games like this are naturally better to interact with familiar people. Zhang Xian knocked on the table and said, "This is not only for us to know, but also for users to know." ”
In fact, there is no need for Zhang Xian to say this, Zhou Tong and Wang Xin both know this, if Penguin starts these games, it will inevitably have a certain impact on Renren. But everyone also understands that this big cake Renren does not have the ability to swallow it alone.
So even if some negotiations and cooperation with Penguin were not very smooth before, but now there is a new cake, then the former competitors will let go of those dissatisfaction in their hearts, because they can make money together.
"We analyzed that if the space operated these games, it might be able to generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue every month. Zhou Tong thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhang, if we can, can we reduce the share, we can accept it at about one into five, no worse than a buyout." ”
Zhang Xian thought about it for a while, and did say in the past, "The bottom line is one percent, and one percent is naturally the best." Isn't this just a sky-high price to repay the money, it doesn't matter if you give up some interests for the time being, strive for cooperation, and everyone can earn money together!"
As for the promotion of farms, in fact, the help of penguins is also needed, and games such as farms on Renren are very popular, but they have not yet reached the level of national participation. Because relatively speaking, Renren still has some thresholds, this is a real-name system, not just register if you want to.
After talking about this matter, Zhang Xian asked, "How about the negotiations with Tudou and Youku?"
Zhou Tong immediately said, "Youku will accept our financing, they have actually accepted two financings, and now the website has only been online for two months, and if you want to operate and promote, you will naturally continue to burn money, and our website is also helpful for them to promote." As for potatoes, we can also invest in them. Their first round of financing was 500,000 yuan, and the second round of financing in May last year, and we are in a better position to contact us now, and they are planning a third round of financing right away. ”
Hearing Zhou Tong say this, Wang Xin couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhang, we are now making links, and we plan to fully connect with Tudou, Youku, Interactive Encyclopedia, and Douban to achieve a comprehensive connection to vertical websites." That's a good thing, but there's really no need to invest in video sites, which are mediocre and have big copyright issues. ”
Zhang Xian smiled and said undoubtedly, "It is better to win some shares and better for the development of the website." ”
Zhou Tong looked at Zhang Xian and asked tentatively, "Mr. Zhang, Shenzhen or Shangjiao?" Or we can go a little farther, we can go to Hong Kong Island to list up, or go to NASDAQ to ring the bell!"
Wang Xin was stunned, he seemed to have reacted.
In Wang Xin's view, what the company needs to do now is to continue to promote, and the company's funds are relatively abundant, and it is now more suitable to expand its scale. However, Zhang Xian, the chairman, seems to be keen on investing everywhere, having invested in Douban and Tianya before, and now wants to invest in Youku and Tudou, Mr. Zhang is always looking for places to invest everywhere.
And now it seems that this is not just about investing everywhere, it is an idea!
These investments here are actually to find some profit growth points, which is what many enterprises and companies will do.
Some companies have some mergers and acquisitions and shareholding actions before listing, the purpose of which is to push up the valuation of the enterprise, and by the way, lay out several profit growth points for the company, in order to give shareholders and market confidence.
Now, Wang Xin feels that he has touched the reason why Zhang Xian is investing everywhere, and this is preparing for listing, or in other words, he is preparing for listing.
And it must be admitted that while such direct investment may not be the most correct, it is in everyone's interest.
Although he feels too anxious, Wang Xin can also understand that to be a business, especially an Internet company, it is really indispensable to go public. Only by going public can we make the company bigger and stronger, have more funds and get better development.
Even if Renren has received a huge amount of capital investment before, it can't really rely on the 250 million US dollars alone, and now it is accelerating the development of the website better and more profitable, so it is beneficial whether it is for listing or financing!
Wang Xin and Zhou Tong now feel that they have guessed some of Zhang Xian's thoughts, and they can understand when they feel that Zhang Xian is a little anxious. Of course, there is also a little excitement, because as an executive to lead the company to go public, this is definitely an important part of the resume!
Moreover, it is also in their interest because they are also shareholders of Renren!
Zhang Xian didn't say anything to Wang Xin and Zhou Tong, he insisted on investing in video websites, that is, because of some scenes he saw in his dreams; he remembered that in his dreams, he and Zhu Jiarun went online together, watching movies and TV series on video websites. Although I didn't see the content clearly, I knew that it was a video site!
When the funds of the website are still sufficient, and when he does not plan to hold the website for a long time, Zhang Xian naturally has some ideas. If you do more things now, you can also let the future shareholders pay for him.
Zhu Jiarun may not approve of all these investments, but he has no objections; Zhang Xian can even see that Zhu Jiarun is very satisfied and happy in some places where he invests.
Zhang Xian is still the same as before, many things are just put forward some ideas, and the specific implementation is naturally carried out by Zhou Tong and Wang Xin. For example, Zhang Xian said that he cooperated with some websites, so this gave rise to the comprehensive connection of Wang Xin's research, which is also to increase the number of users of Renren, and this is also to increase the value of the website.
Internet companies and social networking sites need to use the number of users, activity and so on to illustrate their value to a certain extent.
When he returned home and saw Zhu Jiarun eating potato chips and watching TV, Zhang Xian laughed, "Runrun, you are too carefree, right?"
"Fortunately, I think it's really comfortable!" Zhu Jiarun sat up cross-legged and said, "Brother Xian, I've thought about it." I've been working hard for a few years now, and after I have a solid foundation, I'll be a housewife. ”
Zhang Xian scoffed, and didn't believe it, "Runrun, your perception of housewives is a little biased, right? I can't agree, in the future, we have to go out to play everywhere, we have to travel, so we don't have time for you to be a housewife." Moreover, you have to be my assistant and secretary, and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle many things. ”
Well, Zhu Jiarun admits that she can't be a housewife, because doing housework all day is really not her character, at most, she just spends more time at home, which doesn't mean that she is a housewife!
"Runrun, I plan to invest in video websites, what do you think?" Zhang Xian did not hide from Zhu Jiarun, and said, "I think it is a good thing whether it is to increase the market value when it is sold or to spin it off when the website is sold." ”
Zhu Jiarun nodded and agreed, "Now, I don't think it's very realistic to use it as a point of interest growth, and those websites are not worth much now." If we can, we can give up some of the benefits a little. Renren is the most attractive, and those things are secondary, and those investors may not pay attention to them. ”
This is naturally very good, if you can withdraw those shares, of course Zhang Xian is happy, if you can't withdraw it, it doesn't matter, it is to increase the value of Renren, no matter how you look at it, there is no harm to Zhang Xian.
"Brother Xian, are you really willing to sell the website?" Zhu Jiarun put his arm around Zhang Xian's neck and confirmed again, "Brother Xian, I can find a way to redeem Facebook's equity, there is no need to sell everyone, you have spent a lot of effort on the website, I am reluctant." ”
Zhang Xian is very free and easy, very simple, "Then what's reluctant, isn't it just to make money on the website." Besides, you can't just think about redeeming Facebook's shares. Aren't you always worried that they're diluting your equity, it's basically a capital increase, right? Dual stock or control of the company doesn't mean much to you, does it?"
Zhu Jiarun nodded straight and admitted very frankly, "I can't control Facebook, and my ability is limited." I mainly want to guarantee the value of the stock and prevent it from being diluted. So I took the initiative to help Zach control Facebook a lot of the time, and I think he has the ability to control Facebook and lead Facebook to develop better. I'm not going to be an executive, I just want to make money! He wants to control the company, I want to make money!"
That's okay, let's just firmly grasp the equity of Facebook, a super potential stock, and we value Facebook's shares so much, rather than wanting to become a controller of Facebook.
Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun's attitude is obvious, Facebook will definitely become their 'conservative property' in the future, with a certain amount of Facebook equity, whether it is dividends or others, it is enough to ensure that the two of them live a very good life.
As for other investments, I will do some of them, and it is good to be able to continue to increase my wealth figures.
Therefore, it is certainly not uncommon for people to have such a situation, and when it is developed and has a certain value, it will immediately turn to the eyebrows. Whether it's for life or to continue investing, such things are not uncommon!
