Chapter 135: The Miracle of Wedding Dress
When the results of the second round of financing were announced, some people were shocked, and some people took it for granted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Several executives of Baidu, after an internal meeting, talked about this round of financing, intentionally or unintentionally.
Mr. Li has a relatively neutral attitude towards Zhao Zejun's behavior.
After Zhao Zejun sold his shares this time, he completely broke off from Blog China. In the last time the board of directors collectively turned back, Zhao Zejun, the major shareholder in the blog China, was already in danger, at this time without the support of shares, the remaining shares of the few points have no effect, and it is impossible to pose a threat to the dominant discourse.
On the project of blogging China, Zhao Zejun can be considered completely out, which he founded single-handedly and is also the core of his Internet.
Zelianke's other projects, including games, have developed well, but their meaning and value are far inferior to blogs, which are the lowest buildings. After losing his blog China, Zhao Zejun's title of 'Internet giant' is no longer worthy of the name, and at most he can only be regarded as a relatively good entrepreneur in the Internet.
As for the big data research of the data center, although it is still retained and controlled by Zhao Zejun, in the long run, the data center is connected to the blog after all. In a short period of time, for the sake of stability and the previous cooperative relationship, there will be no changes in Blog China and Skynet Alliance for the time being, but if it takes a long time, for the sake of their own interests and the data center can continue to operate and develop well, this piece will probably be stripped from Zhao Zejun sooner or later, after all, his current equity has no right to speak.
But it's not a complete mistake to do so. Instead, he should be decisive in executing his new strategy. The key is to see the follow-up development momentum of Weibo. Mr. Li said with a smile.
The biggest advantage of being completely separated from the blog is that you can do Weibo wholeheartedly and without constraints. At present, Weibo is very strong, if Weibo can surpass in the future, and even as long as it competes with Blog China, Zhao Zejun is still one of the giants of the Internet, and the data center is likely to add a new member: Weibo.
With Zhao Zejun's 'urine' who has always refused to suffer, if Weibo joins the data center, there is a chance that it will be a core member.
Among the core members of the Skynet Center, the one who felt the most about this matter was Alibaba, which joined the latest.
Ma Yun has been competing with Yahoo for the right to speak on the board of directors in recent years, on the surface, although she has never shown the slightest negative emotion to employees and partners, and has always been strong, but in her heart, Ma Yun has been a little annoyed more than once, and has not improved the partnership system earlier, so that there is a series of troubles for Yahoo to add new board members later.
Therefore, for Zhao Zejun's experience in Blog China, Mr. Ma has some sympathy.
In Ma Yun's opinion, Zhao Zejun actually suffered a loss this time.
The board of directors suddenly turned back, Zhao Zejun's choice was diametrically opposed to Ma Yun, he did not spend his energy on infighting, but decisively left Blog China and started anew, which is actually another good choice.
But in any case, Blog China, in the hands of Zhao Zejun, is already the first interactive communication community in China, and has established an unshakable position, and now Weibo is up, at best, it is just another blog, Zhao Zejun spent a lot of effort, and the final result is just to maintain his position on the Internet.
The real bargain is still Sina, which reaps the blogging business, and it is still the largest blog in China.
Feng Shui takes turns, when Zhao Zejun acquired Sina Blog, a few years later, Sina made a comeback, using Zhao Zejun's 'rash advance', turning the clouds and rain, and completing a beautiful counteroffensive.
Thinking of the end, Ma Yun's judgment and Baidu Mr. Li have the same goal, and it still depends on the development of Weibo.
If Weibo is only tied with blogs, Zhao Zejun will actually suffer.
However, if Weibo can surpass blogs, and even suppress blogs one day, then Zhao Zejun can be said to be a 'blessing in disguise'. Through this, the most shocking strong voice can be sent to the entire Internet.
At the end of the day, it still depends on Weibo.
The same thing, standing on different standpoints, have different views.
Mr. Ma, the earliest partner of Zelianke, is not concerned about either a blog or a microblog, both of which have little to do with Tencent, and the business intersection is also small.
In the second round of financing of the blog, CICC, a big venture capital with a national prefix, sold all its shares and withdrew, which made Mr. Ma very interested.
Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, venture capital can be said to be the most sensitive institution to future trends and markets.
In the mainland, the impact of national policies and government dynamics on the market is almost decisive, and venture capital with a national background like CICC is no longer just a matter of professional sensitivity to market prospects.
For venture capital, doubling the value of investment in more than two years is not too small, but it is definitely not large, it is just ordinary. CICC sold all its shares without hesitation this time, did it already see something, so it simply took this opportunity to get out?
In this round of financing, Zhao Zejun reduced the most shares, and CICC reduced the largest proportion of shares, 100%.
The meaning of this is very intriguing and interesting.
After seeing this, Tencent President Ma decided that in the future, within the Skynet Alliance, he will firmly support Zhao Zejun, even if he no longer has a blog at hand.
The three giants have their own ideas, and as for the other two of the three portals, they are very relaxed at this time, happily sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
Although the three major portals have expanded into new business areas in different directions in recent years, they are still in competition in terms of core business, and the other two are happy to see Sina's current situation.
A 500 million US dollar smashed down, for Sina, which has long been listed, is also a huge expense, and it can be judged that Sina's future business focus must be blogging.
Weibo finally triumphed, and Sina's vitality was greatly damaged; With the success of the blogging China crackdown, Sina has to devote its energy to blogging and cannot spare its hands to set foot in the field of the other two portals; It's best if these two fight like glue, inseparable, and consume each other to death. When the time comes, not only will the Internet industry be hotter by them, but they may also be able to take the opportunity to pick up a lot of cheapness.
As for Sina, which seems to have achieved the greatest results in this round of financing, it is even more jubilant at this time.
Enterprises are not afraid of spending money, they are afraid of not spending money, and they don't know how to spend money. This time, 500 million US dollars, it is worth it.
Within Sina, there began to be such a saying: it was the strategy of the top management to convert the Sina blog into shares and sell it to Blog China, using Sina Blog to gain seats and voice on the board of directors of Blog China, like a bomb planted in the blog, penetrating into the enemy, waiting for opportunities, creating opportunities, and solving problems at one time.
How arrogant was Zhao Zejun's momentum at the beginning?! Buying this and acquiring that at every turn, his opponents on the Internet were almost all acquired by him in the end, quite a bit of 'whoever dares to go against me, I will buy him' arrogant face, even giants like Sina are no exception.
What now?
It is in response to the phrase 'work hard to make wedding dresses for others'.
Within the Sina Social Division, some narrow employees privately gave Zhao Zejun a nickname 'Nantian', and soon, this code name spread in the business department, and even affected the blog China, and when talking about Zhao Zejun on some occasions, they simply used this code name.
The wedding dress magic Yan Nantian is invincible in the world, but in the end, he can only give a shocking magic to others to save his life, and then start all over again.
This nickname, even if it is ridiculed and contemptuous, is more, it is still a thick eyebrow raising.
……
"Nantian?" Zhao Zejun smiled, "This nickname is good, they read martial arts novels, and they seem to have forgotten that the characteristics of Yan Nantian's wedding dress are unbreakable and unbreakable." If you want to use its advantages, you must first frustrate its edge, and Yan Nantian will really become the unshakable number one in the world after dissipating the strength of his whole body. I just thought they were blessing me on Weibo. ”
"Oh? Is there such a statement? "Gianna is familiar with China, after all, it is impossible to be familiar with Gu Long's novels.
Zhao Zejun flipped through the financial statements in his hand and said: "Of the three hundred million, take out a part of it and give it to the old employees who gave up the blog shares to defect, and the rest is all invested in Weibo." ”
As he spoke, a somewhat hideous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Since they call me Nantian, it is not good to live up to the good intentions of others, let them take a look, what is the real miracle of the wedding dress?" ”
To summarize Yan Nantian, there is only one sentence: He is coming, and you all have to die!
This time, it was definitely not only CICC that really retreated, but Zhao Zejun himself benefited more.
Beforehand, Zhao Zejun somewhat expected that some Sina might make a move.
In the last life, Sina's greatest value, first blog, then Weibo, the inertia of history is huge, Sina to survive and develop, naturally must have his core business, among the three major portals, Sina is to rely on the interactive community, that is, blogs, microblogs and these things.
When Sina sold its blog, it didn't want money and asked for shares, which proved from the side that it was not completely dead set on this business.
It's just that I didn't expect that this time the other party was willing to spend 500 million US dollars to buy a blog, a product that was about to be thrown into the dust of history.
By the end of the second round of financing, with the help of Sina, he had not only achieved his original goal, but also exceeded it.
It is reasonable to quit the blog and not bear the notoriety of pit shareholders;
Use the influence and accumulation of blogs to promote the initial development of microblogs;
Curve sold the shares in the blog to make his early work in the blog rewarded, and at the same time won a large amount of operating funds for Weibo;
The most important point is that this soon-to-be-abolished blog has completely locked up Sina, a potential competitor in the future.
