Chapter 30 Mosquito legs are also meat

Leaving Wen Huiying's home, Gu Cheng went to Quan Shunyu's company for two days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was already a large pile of forged contracts waiting to be reimbursed, which needed to be signed by Gu Cheng himself - these are all things that must be done to forge the money paid by Huang Yi to Gu Cheng into a legitimate copyright exchange.

As for Quan Baoya, Gu Cheng didn't have a chance to see him again.

According to Quan Shunyu, his sister has been completely isolated by the economic company. Now it belongs to the retreat stage before his debut, recording albums and shooting MVs every day, and even his mobile phone has been confiscated.

In the end, Gu Cheng had to invite Cheerilee to have a few more meals, contact her feelings, and ask her about the development progress of the online game version of "Legend", and whether there are any other customers who are interested in "Legend" recently.

Cheerilee had nothing to hide from Gu Cheng, bluntly saying that the development cycle of online games would take at least three months, and no one else would take a fancy to this game for the time being.

Gu Cheng was also relieved.

After doing all this, it was June 20th. Gu Cheng calculated the days, bought a ticket to the capital, and completed the final transaction with Ding Sanshi.

While waiting for the plane at Incheon Airport, Gu Cheng was extremely bored, so he watched the TV program playing in the departure hall.

On the big screen, KBS TV is broadcasting current affairs news:

"Beiyi leader Kim Jae-cao and Chinese President Kim Xiao-jung held the last round of diplomatic negotiations from June 13 to 15, and reached a final consensus to issue the "North-South Joint Declaration".

According to the statement of the two sides, the first meeting between the relatives of the North and the South will be held on August 15 this year, and the combined delegation of the North and South athletes of the Sydney Olympic Games will be admitted in September; and follow-up discussions on cooperation projects such as Kaesong Industrial Park, Kaesong Tourism Exchange Zone, and Mt. Kumgang Tourism Exchange Zone......"

Gu Cheng watched the news for a while, and when the boarding time came, he immediately got on the plane.

As soon as he arrived in the capital, Gu Cheng immediately rushed to Zhongguancun.

The transaction with Rhubarb Yi is almost over, and Gu Cheng needs to settle the balance and destroy the evidence in time.

Of course, Boss Ding is not dishonest, he is a decent person who wants to make a lot of money, how can he be stingy with that little money.

On June 28, Boss Ding called Gu Cheng for the last time and asked the finance to pay off the last money; Then he took out a bottle of champagne and touched a glass with Gu Cheng.

"Happy cooperation, my plane to New York tomorrow will ring the bell the day after tomorrow." When Boss Ding said this, he was full of ambition, and he was so excited that a mole on his face turned red.

Gu Cheng congratulated him appropriately: "I will pay attention to your market, I believe that the data service I provide is worth the price." ”

Boss Ding finished drinking and left.

……

Two days later, June 30. New York NASDAQ Exchange.

Huang Yi's shares were issued at an issue price of $9.6 per share, which was much higher than the estimate of $8.2 two months ago.

Huang Yi's IPO issued more than 20 million shares.

Therefore, the data services provided by Gu Cheng are equivalent to raising nearly $30 million more for Huang Yi from a New York brokerage.

Gu Cheng was in China and paid attention to these news in real time throughout the whole process.

It's all planned.

Boss Ding spent nearly 10 million yuan in commissions, accounting for 4% of the financing increase (at that time, the RMB dollar exchange rate was still 1 to 8).

In normal times, this commission ratio is obviously too high, generally 2% is not bad;

But on the eve of the capital winter, in order to escape, 4% had to be paid.

As for Gu Cheng's profits, they were slightly lower than he expected.

He originally expected to have 3.5 million, but in the end he only earned 3.1 million - Wen Huiying discovered his plan in advance, so Gu Cheng had to give 200,000 "hush money". There are also two other big hackers found by Wen Huiying, who have not been in direct contact with Gu Cheng, but they also found some flaws in their business, and temporarily regretted raising the price, each taking an extra 100,000.

This kind of business really can't last long. Once the news leaks and others come back to it, the monopoly disappears.

The back can only be crazy paving, catching up with the schedule, and fighting a price war.

Therefore, as soon as Boss Ding's money arrived, Gu Cheng immediately pulled in the two new customers he had previously made tentative contacts-

When he was doing business with Huang Yi, he was not idle, and he was calculating every day who had a financing plan and who needed to make a high valuation in the domestic Internet circle, all of which were recorded in his own small book.

"Sohu and Sina have been listed, and they don't need financing for the time being, so they won't be considered."

"Ahri's Ma Feng just took Sun Zhengyi's 20 million meter knife venture capital at the end of last year, and he is not short of money for the time being. Boss Li, who is in his mother's house, also made 20 million dollars last year. ”

"Although Tengyun is less money than Du Niang, the assessment index of venture capital deductions is the number of registered users, not daily active IP, we are not professional, and don't participate."

"Lei Jun of Jinshan Company plans to increase shares in the near future. 3722 Zhou Hongyi is in contact with Series B venture capital - these are all big customers. ”

In the last two or three days of June, Gu Cheng personally went to Jinshan and 3722 to lobby and sell his plan to brush data.

Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi saw Huang Yi's demonic growth, and they had just come back to their senses, so they naturally hit it off with Gu Cheng - but when they were trading, they slightly suppressed his offer.

The scale of these lists naturally cannot be compared with Huang Yi, but mosquito legs are also meat.

Gu Cheng's data services allowed these two companies to raise a lot of money later, and the scale was roughly tens of millions of dollars. In particular, Zhou Hongyi's 3722 company, it is said that after the new venture capital was in place, it directly moved into the new office building in Zhongguancun.

And Gu Cheng also made a net profit of 1.1 million and 800,000 commissions from these two companies respectively.

When he did it with Huang Yi, the net profit margin was about 35%, and when it came to Jinshan, it became 27%, and 3722 was only 23%.

There are more and more "data vendors", and Gu Cheng's profit margin is becoming more and more insecure.

He figured out that it wouldn't be long before hackers with botnets would completely bypass him, the "intermediary" who made the difference, and the market would be completely transparent.

Among the many bad news, there is only one that makes Gu Cheng feel good:

The supply price given to him by the "hacker suppliers" is also gradually decreasing.

There's nothing strange about that. The world is flat, and as insiders know that the business of IP farming can be operated by botnets, those hackers in China who use the "Binghe" virus naturally have the motivation to expand the scale of their botnets.

Therefore, by July, the hackers who had only 50,000 or 60,000 broilers in China had infected their broilers to more than 100,000 in just one month.

The supply of goods in the hands of domestic local hackers is sufficient, and the unit price is naturally reduced.

At the same time, those Dongyi hackers who were still asking for high prices slowly faded out of Gu Cheng's supplier circle because they couldn't negotiate the price.

In Dongyi, in Fusang, business brokers similar to Gu Cheng also began to appear, and in August they spread to the rice country on the other side of the ocean.

In the Internet circle, there are no secrets.

……

Including Jinshan and 3722, Gu Cheng later negotiated a total of 6 large and small customers.

Until late July, just when Gu Cheng felt that this business had no future and was ready to wash his hands after finishing his old customers, a good opportunity took the initiative to smash in front of him.

That was when he went to Zhou Hongyi to collect the final payment, and Zhou Hongyi introduced it to him.

At that time, Zhou Hongyi had just moved into a new office building. When Gu Cheng went to collect debts, the other party dragged on and refused to give money, so he changed the topic and said, "Xiao Gu, how about my brother introduce you to a business?" ”

"What?"

"If you exempt me from the final payment of 300,000 yuan, I will tell you this business opportunity."

Gu Chengxin said that the master only earned you a total of 800,000, so he directly threw Zhou Hongyi a hygienic eye.

The two sides bargained, and Gu Cheng only promised to waive Zhou Hongyi of 100,000 yuan to buy him this news.

Zhou Hongyi agreed, and when the two sides settled the accounts, he said:

"In the circle, there is a company called Silver Fox Mail. At present, it is the third largest email provider in China after Huangyi Mail and Sina Mail, and is well received among overseas Chinese and has a considerable market share.

Zhang Long, the founder of Silver Fox, has also recently sensed the risk of bubble bursting, and plans to sell his company and cash it out. Currently hooked up with a venture capitalist. According to my tip, the other party's offer to Zhang Long is $12 million, a one-time 100% acquisition. But Zhang Long is not very satisfied with this price, and the two sides are still negotiating-

If you get together at this point to help Zhang Long brush up the data, he won't have to pay a lot of money? I am also the price of cabbage today, and I only sold you 100,000 yuan for such valuable news. ”

However, when Gu Cheng heard it at first glance, he felt that he had lost money - the market value of this company was only $12 million, which was smaller than the orders he had received. Even only Zhou Hongyi's own 3722 company has a market value of two or three percent.

"Just this information, it's worth 100,000 yuan?" Gu Cheng almost turned his face directly with Zhou Hongyi.

Zhou Hongyi hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't you understand--I heard clearly, what I said is that Zhang Long is going to sell his business wholly-owned, not financing--these are completely different things, the price he is willing to offer must be much higher than mine." ”

Gu Cheng smacked Zhou Hongyi's words, and then he came back to his senses.

(Ask for a ticket, it's on the list, and I'll cash out the three watches today (although I quickly dropped the bounty task that day, but I sent a 50 yuan red envelope to the list...... I believe that few book friends have seen the bounty task. But let's spit on a pit, even if only a few people see the bounty and go to vote, let's do three more. I'll be cautious next time, it's useless if too many people ask for it). Next week, I will continue to ask for votes, clicks, favorites, comments)
