Chapter 51: Secrets

Money can make ghosts grind, with today's legendary entertainment's coffee position in the industry, and the worship of the Chinese melon-eating masses to the NASDAQ, as long as Gu Cheng throws money, how can there be no reason to recruit a strong general who is determined to die.

Whether it is the layout of the STEAM company, or several other spending plans, the implementation is very smooth, and in less than half a month, the team has been set up one radish and one pit. Program art planning and operation, all kinds of talents are poached from peers, and the hardware investment that can be done by spending money in the data center R&D center is even more vigorous.

Sun Zhengyi also looked at every investment decision, but he couldn't see anything wrong in a short period of time, not to mention that the money was not smashed in full at once, so he couldn't object, and let Gu Cheng do it.

Anyway, it's not good to let too much money lie on the account in vain. And Gu Cheng's actions are not very arrogant compared to Shengda Chen Tianqiao in another time and space, and they are very in line with his character of "a rebellious young man who broke out into great wealth and lost himself just after reaching the weak crown".

In the eyes of many melon-eating people who do not know much about the "middle-aged" development history of the Internet circle, Chen Tianqiao of Shengda is a legendary nouveau riche, and then engaged in a certain point of Chinese on an online website, and nothing else seems to have any ambitions.

In fact, in fact, after being listed on the NASDAQ in 04 years in history, Chen Tianqiao's ambition is very big. With nearly a billion dollars in liquidity, he has tried to span the entire entertainment distribution industry in China, not just making games.

At that time, a certain point of Chinese network was just a small action among Chen Tianqiao's many handwritings, and no one expected that such an inconspicuous project would later become one of Shengda's fist products.

During that period of history, Chen Tianqiao invested the most in a project called "Shengda Box" - for those who don't understand, you can refer to the Tmall Magic Box when Ahri entered the entertainment industry many years later, and the bunch of concepts fabricated by Jia Leting when he engaged in Leshi's "ecological anti-corruption".

Because in 05, online video was just emerging, the digital transformation of the traditional TV industry, and the digital TV set-top box was slowly popularized.

Later, Jia Leting began to do this in 2013, and he didn't want to let LeTV lose money, but he didn't build a paid ecology. And Chen Tianqiao wants to do this in 05~06, which is undoubtedly too advanced and too underestimating the difficulties caused by the lack of infrastructure and objective conditions.

No matter how far a genius goes, he is a madman. In the end, the "Shengda Box" project failed, and Chen Tianqiao basically lost back the money he had earned from the legend for many years, and lost more than one billion US dollars in total. After the legend died again, Chen Tianqiao only had a certain Chinese network left in his hand.

(BUT I'VE READ A LOT OF NOVELS WHERE THE PROTAGONIST STARTED YOUTUBE TWO YEARS BEFORE YOUTUBE, AND THEN SUCCEEDED WITH A STROKE OF THE PEN...... Hehe...... )

Chen Tianqiao, who is parallel to time and space, has far less control over Shengda than Gu Cheng today over Legendary Entertainment. Chen Tianqiao's shareholding in Shengda is also not as high as Gu Cheng's shareholding in Legendary Entertainment.

In addition, Gu Cheng's plan is far less arrogant than Chen Tianqiao's, at least he doesn't even plan to do a video website at the moment.

In this case, Chen Tianqiao in history has made such a big stride, and no small shareholders can stop it, and today Gu Cheng is messing around on a much smaller scale, how can Sun Zhengyi stop it?

Justification.

……

Busy days are always short-lived, Gu Cheng didn't have a day off, he worked for 12 days in a row, working more than 12 hours a day, and he had to arrange a little inspection when he saw the stitches, and two weeks passed in a flash. There are only 29 days in February, and the weekend is exactly the end of the month - Gu Cheng flew back from the United States on the Sunday after Valentine's Day.

After deploying the big money plan, seeing that his main competitor Tengyun was about to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market in March, Gu Cheng decided to take a weekend off, adjust his state, and by the way, see how Wu Yue Satellite TV's "Girls' Generation" is doing. Then let's see how Ma Teng's life is, and whether he will get some new tricks to block himself after going public.

It is said that "Girls' Generation" has been put in the first round of the third division, and Gu Cheng has not seen it from beginning to end.

On the way home, Gu Cheng lay in the back seat of the car, leaning on Pan Jieying's lap relaxedly, enjoying the royal sister kneading his temples to decompress.

He is very simple, and he is still sitting in a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz S600 custom car, not at all like a super-rich man who likes to show off.

Pan Jieying has been silently trying her best to support him behind his back after watching Gu Cheng's actions recently, but she is inevitably a little worried:

"Do you think that the STEAM project, when it comes to Sun Zhengyi's hands in the future, will really not pose a threat to your future layout of the 'digital version of the stand-alone game sales platform'? At present, those things that are bought with IPO money cannot be taken away when we 'leave the house', so don't shoot yourself in the foot. ”

Gu Cheng didn't open his eyes, and muttered unconsciously: "How is it possible, the current STEAM project is just going to be made into an online game to sell, with the network environment and digital anti-piracy technology in the past two years, it must still be the disc version of the physical game that accounts for the vast majority, and the digital version of the market can't account for much at all." Such a forward-thinking concept can only end up dying on the beach and paving the way for the newcomers - and I am sure that I will be the next latecomer to take over, and that will be enough. ”

Pan Jieying bit her lip and kindly reminded: "However, is it difficult to guarantee that Sun Zhengyi will not keep pace with the times after taking over?" After all, this is a big opportunity. In the future, when it comes to the pioneer of carrying the banner of stand-alone game legalization, everyone will think of Sun Zhengyi, which does not give him a reputation for holding bulls' ears in vain. ”

Gu Cheng sneered, opened his eyes and looked at Pan Jieying, and said playfully: "Sister, do you think the reputation of the forerunner is so important?" Then you can tell me, who knows that the 'STEAM' of Huaxia e-commerce back then was Wang Junfeng's 8848 Everest Technology? No one cares, everyone only knows Taobao.

When the ancient emperors gave the order to siege the city, they all said, 'The first to ascend will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the marquis of ten thousand households', but what about the first to get the reward? Where is it? Cushion under the base of the city wall to give people a stepping stone, and it will be a success. That's called a martyr, not a pioneer. You're a business elite who has been following me for several years, can your brain not be as good as some of the mentally retarded rebirth writers on the fiction website we run now, I really think it's going to be awesome? ”

Pan Jieying was annoyed and angry when she said this, and arrogantly hammered Gu Cheng with her small fist a few times: "What if Sun Zhengyi works hard?" What if he's more than 'fast'? ”

Gu Cheng Zhizhu dispelled his cousin's worries in his grip: "This is impossible, I am the founder, I can talk about feelings, he is an investor, talk about the feelings of a fart?" He came to make money and cash out and get rid of it at a high position, not to help us build a society and pay attention to the Internet industry.

For him, he is very eager to seize control of the company and prevent the owners from harming the interests of his shareholders. But once the shareholding exceeds 50% and the control is absolutely seized, the extra part of the equity will still be sold to the fat sheep at the highest position for him.

So we can imagine that in the future, he must pay attention to the company's short-term financial reports and short-term interests, and it is impossible to do things like burning money and smashing market share, which is something that only high-growth companies can do. ”

After Gu Cheng said this, Pan Jieying finally came over suddenly.

In fact, everyone in the world will be able to understand this truth in the future: Didi Uber is hungry, in the private placement stage, it is no problem to burn the money of the two Ma fathers to expand market share. But the purpose of burning money is to IPO, and then dump the pot for retail investors in public offerings. I don't see anyone who continues to burn the money of ordinary retail shareholders after the public offering.

Because ordinary shareholders have small capital and little courage, they don't have the courage of the two Ma Dad, and they feel that they will be able to earn it back sooner or later. Ordinary shareholders will definitely tremble with fear when they see that the stocks they bought are actually burning money like crazy, and then immediately sell them, forming a panic, turning into a herd of sheep and causing the stock price to collapse.

A small person can't afford to gamble on a big business. ENTERING LISBOA, ONLY BOSS HE CAN PLAY THE SHOW-HAND, DOUBLE THE BET IN EACH ROUND, AND TURN THE TABLES AFTER LOSING MORE THAN TEN ROUNDS IN A ROW.

Do ordinary people dare?

In today's piracy environment in China, the cause of the legalization of stand-alone games is destined to take five years and ten years to achieve results, although the fruits will be very sweet in the end, but impatient people will not be able to taste it. Sun Zhengyi's identity and position, Gu Cheng is not worried at all that he dares to make any "visionary" deployment.

"I suddenly felt that the capital side was so pitiful, and it was so much fun to be eaten inside and out by entrepreneurs." Pan Jieying wanted to understand the cause and effect, and actually took pity on Sun Zhengyi.

"It's not that the capital side is pitiful, it's just that the capital side that doesn't clamp down on the resources of the operators is pitiful. Financing is not only about financing money, but also about financing resources. If the capital side has irreplaceable resources in its hands, whether it is the issuance channel, traffic entrance, or even just the network and officialdom background, the operator wants to pit, do you dare? Can you?

There are so many venture capitalists in Silicon Valley who have intertwined resources, so they are not afraid of operators turning the sky upside down. But if it's the money of the big oil dogs in the Middle East, hehe. If you want to blame, you can only blame Sun Zhengyi for not having YY network technology and Alipay in his hands - if you put yourself in the shoes of empathy, today I am doing the position of Ahri Babamafeng, why can't Ahri Baba break free from the control of Sun Zhengyi and SoftBank? Because SoftBank is owned by Yahoo at the same time, Ahri essentially started as a data company, and without Yahoo's search technology and other technical support and data support, Ahri could not play at all. So Ma Feng can't get rid of Sun Zhengyi, I can.

The kind of investors who take advantage of the hardships of promising companies to buy the bottom at a low price, and have no resources at hand, and finally succeed in long-term operation and make a lot of money -- this kind of thing can only happen in the novel of retarded rebirth. ”

Gu Cheng still has the last sentence to say: Sun Zhengyi is a Fusang person, as a Chinese entrepreneur, do you still need a reason to pit Fusang investors?

How did Zuckerberg historically dilute Saverin's stake and then squeeze him out?

How did Spiegel deal with a former co-founder? He even used the trick of "I don't even want a shell of the company, and I will build a new company to run SnapChat". It is conceivable how weak pure investors who have no resources and only money are in this circle.

The big oil dogs are used to slaughter, and if they are not slaughtered, they will not be slaughtered.
