Chapter 013: The Giant Strikes

After the transaction price is determined, the signing of the cooperation between the two parties is subsequently launched. The company also immediately received a cash investment of 6 million, for the use of this money, in addition to adding servers to the company, employee incentives, the funds will be used for marketing, to promote the new version.

Changing the previous model of three or four app stores, this time we will bombard all the top six stores on the homepage, and at the same time, the offerwall mode and the advertorial water army will be launched together. The reason why Meng Qian can make up his mind is that the second version of the APP has complete functions.

The original first version, although it can satisfy users, but other project operations have to be carried out with the help of security software, and this time the update has been improved, the functions have been covered, it is easier for users to uninstall other security software, only use them this security software, the killing effect can be imagined.

Meng Qian held a meeting in the afternoon: "Is the software test completed?" ”

Zhang Bing, who was in charge of the team, nodded: "It has completely passed the test, and tomorrow's version update is no problem." ”

Meng Qian asked again: "What about the marketing arrangement?" ”

Liang Tao replied: "It has been properly handled, and it can be publicized on a large scale after the update, but I have a question." ”

"Please." Meng Qian nodded.

Liang Tao was worried: "We are so sharp, especially when the company's foundation is not stable, will it be a bit to work against giants?" ”

"I've thought about it for a long time, no problem." Meng Qian reassured him that if he planned to operate for a long time, it was indeed risky to do so.

But Meng Qian didn't think about long-term operation at all, so he speculated on high prices as soon as possible, sold them for money, and managed the new battery field he preferred with peace of mind.

As for the software giants, he didn't take their threat seriously.

"Feel free to do it, the better the grades, the higher your reward." Meng Qian bewitched again, "Let's start preparations for the third version." ”

……

Because of the arrival of the materials, Meng Qian returned to the laboratory.

He continues to toss the design of new batteries, and there are already several sets of products, and there are breakthroughs, and there are two times higher capacity, but they have not yet met his expectations. I continue to remember in my mind, grasp every step and detail, and move forward little by little.

Super Optimizer is already worth a lot of money, and it only takes a little more push to start a new company. Competing with the software giants? He doesn't care.

Compared with this APP with limited potential, he prefers the high-tech monopoly industry, and he wants to gather the fragments of the current battery industry to create a new giant.

While his ambitions were inflating, the software boom was also fermenting.

Version 1.1 of the Optimizer has been released, and this time there are several times more promotion platforms, which has attracted more user experience driven by previous word-of-mouth and achievements. In terms of the cleaning, acceleration and power-saving characteristics of the software core, it has won unanimous praise from users.

"In the three core aspects of the software, its performance has surpassed similar software, and the performance is worthy of the name; However, in other aspects such as online detection and killing, riot-harassment interception, because of the company's limited size and personnel, compared with popular software, there is still a lot of fire. ”

The above is the evaluation of a web portal.,It's not a water army or a professional black.,This report is for many users and the same sees.,I've tried it.,Afterwards, I admit that the core technology is very strong.,As for the defects,Just give a little more time.,Sooner or later it will be made up.。

This news is not good for the giants.

The new version of Super Optimizer has greatly improved its functions and has features that are comparable to or even stronger than their products in many aspects. Users favor better products, but the user base is limited, and the approach of Master Software is undoubtedly digging into their corners.

There is a saying that "smashing people's jobs is like killing parents", and when facing the challenge of rookies, giants invariably think of using the power of capital and the influence of industry leaders. The approach of capital has been tried by Penguin before, spending money on acquisitions; As for the influence of the industry, the most important thing is to block.

Once the software is removed from the major app stores, it has no way to spread, and no matter how good the performance is, it can only be tossed in one acre and three points of land. This crackdown alone can greatly damage the vitality of the software, and when they are dragged down by funds, it is easy to invest in acquisitions.

The giants thought so, and Meng Qian also knew that they had this ability.

Although he is a newcomer to the industry, he knows how to be humble and will not go to school. From the experience of Liang Tao and Zhang Bing, and from other predecessors, I have learned a lot. If you want to grab the jobs of giants, it is easy for them to unite and suppress you, rather than allowing you to grow.

Of course, Meng Qian will not sit still.

No matter how strong the walls are, they will crumble, not to mention the giants who are already competing with each other, and it is very simple to break their union: let one of them benefit. So while they hadn't moved yet, Meng Qian took the initiative to contact two of them: Penguin and Shidu.

He said: The company currently has a need for funds and accepts investment.

Penguin and Shidu attach great importance to it and have sent people to the company to negotiate. Today's Super Optimizers are different from a few weeks ago, with more than 300,000 downloads in just one day yesterday, and with their extremely high user loyalty, it is easy to continue to exceed 10 million in total.

It's just that what makes Meng Qian unhappy is that they all plan to buy.

Meng Qian clearly refused: "I am a person who wants to seriously engage in a career, and if it is not for the urgent need for funds, I will not seek investment." I invited you here because I sincerely want to find a way out for the company and find a better future for the software. ”

Penguin and Ten Degrees both conveyed his meaning.

The high-level people analyzed that Meng Qian had a resolute attitude and a strong heart to run a business. Now the abrupt talk of acquisitions may cause disgust, and even wear out his creative heart. You must know that the high-level language and compression algorithm in the software are what the giants want the most.

Therefore, the top management has a strategy, holding shares first, and strictly stipulating the company's articles of association, if there is financing in the future, shareholders will have pre-emptive stock options.

In other words, if the company wants to accept external investment in the future, it must first go through the shareholders, and only after the shareholders decide to give up the right of preferential investment can it be the turn of the outside world.

But there's a loophole: it doesn't deal with shareholder transfers.

But the giants believe that Meng Qian will not sell his shares easily, because with their investment, his company's funds are very abundant, and then there is a "serious career" rhetoric, the company has no financial pressure, Meng Qian is resolutely waiting for the development and continuous appreciation.

After the opinions are basically agreed, the issue of investment funds is considered.

It was not surprising that there was a bargain, originally Meng Qian also wanted to pull the penguins and Shidu to compete in price, but who knew that they had reached a cooperation in private, and the concession on the price was very small. After all, big companies are big companies, and it is very difficult to play tricks with them.

A few days later.

The three parties agreed: Penguin and Shidu each acquired 15%, a total of 30% of the shares for 21 million cash.

The value of the company has doubled again, from the initial Penguin estimate of 20 million, to 40 million for venture capital firms, and now to 70 million, a staggering increase. However, because of continuous financing, Meng Qian's shares were diluted to 55%, but he still has an absolute controlling stake.
