"Mr. Zhang, this is my plan."

A phone call, since then, Jian Jing joined Penguin Technology.

Similarly, after joining Penguin Technology, Jian Jing immediately wrote an ultra-long plan and submitted it to Zhang Ning.

"Manager Jane, you have just taken office, and you will start working immediately, it's too hard."

Zhang Ning said politely.

"Where, Mr. Zhang. I also want to rest for a few more days, but Mr. Zhang, although we have surpassed Lianzhong in the number of people online at the same time. However, we are just getting started, and the foundation is still a little thin. The brand of our QQ game has not been played, which will also have considerable resistance in the competition with Lianzhong in the future, so I am so eager to start working. ”

For Lianzhong, Jian Jing has always regarded him as his own company, even if he sells it, it is still the same.

But it wasn't until after Jian Jing's resignation that he really found out.

It doesn't matter if you're the founder or not, when you sell your equity to someone else, Lianzhong no longer belongs to you.

At this time, joining the QQ game, Jian Jing was eager to prove herself again.

"Manager Jian, I believe you, you can withdraw the first batch of 5 million operating funds from Mr. Chen. If you have any problems with funds in the future, you can contact me directly. ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhang."

Seeing Zhang Ning so generous, Jian Jing was excited and couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the same time.

No wonder Lianzhong will be surpassed by QQ games, not to mention anything else, in terms of this courage, Xiyueqiao and the board of directors of Lianzhong are not comparable to Zhang Ning. Moreover, here, Jian Jing even thought. Even if he doesn't resign, even if Lianzhong has been listening to his own advice. I'm afraid, I can't compete with such a demon.

"Okay, Manager Jane, the QQ game will be handed over to you."

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I promise that within a year, QQ games will be completed in Lianzhong Chess."

With excitement, Jian Jing withdrew from Zhang Ning's office.

It's just that half an hour after Jian Jing withdrew, Chen Qingqing, who was also the chief financial officer, also came to the door because of business needs.

"Mr. Zhang, did you approve Manager Jian's 5 million operating funds just now?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Zhang, ...... are you?"

Chen Qingqing was angry, "Mr. Zhang, don't you know that our cash flow is less than 10 million?" ”

While speaking, Chen Qingqing also took out another newspaper, "You see, even the reporters of Science and Technology News, they have guessed that we have a cash outflow problem." ”

"Listen, I'll see."

Zhang Ning took the newspaper, and Penguin Science and Technology was short of funds, which was hanging on the front page of the Science and Technology News.

The article commented that although Penguin Technology has been popular recently, since Penguin Technology has been investing on a large scale, we have found that Penguin Technology does not have much profitable business at all. Neither their instant messaging nor their QQ games have found any relevant profit direction.

Although, there are many unprofitable companies in the market, especially Internet companies, and there are many companies that cannot make profits temporarily. However, regardless of whether they are profitable or not, they still have a certain profitable business. Like portals, they have advertising to make money business. Like online games, they are a bit of a card sales business. However, in QQ instant messaging, there are QQ games, and they have no means to make a profit at all.

At the same time, Penguin Technology's products are not only not profitable, but on the contrary, in order to promote their instant messaging, Penguin Technology still spends large sums of money in cash every time. From the advertisements on the portal NetEase, and even the advertisements were hit to the TV station. It is said that Penguin Technology also spent 10 million yuan in order to quickly launch their QQ game.

It's hard for us to believe that such a company that only knows inputs, but doesn't know outputs, can still hold on to their cash flow.

At the same time, we also found that Penguin Technology has stopped advertising on the NetEase portal. This can already prove that Penguin Technology has a serious cash flow problem......

"Tsk, this article is well analyzed."

"Khan, it's good, the company is short of money like this, you are still so calm."

Flicked the newspaper in his hand, Zhang Ning looked at the genus name of this article again, "Lin Lin, who is this guy, does he have an enmity with us?" ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't you remember who this Lin Lin is?"

"Who?"

"It's the beautiful reporter who interviewed you the other day."

"It's her."

Zhang Ning was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, "This Sanba woman, she praised us a few days ago, and now she has a problem with our funds." Sister Qing, if you see her in the future, let the dog go directly. ”

"This, this ......"

Chen Qingqing burst into tears, and a voice in her heart said, "If you had accepted her interview a few days ago, wouldn't there be no such thing." However, Chen Qingqing will not say, "It has been published in the newspaper, and I am afraid that our competitors will seize this opportunity." Therefore, Mr. Zhang, it is better not to invest large sums of money recently. ”

Zhang Ning knew what Chen Qingqing meant, but he didn't want to approve Jian Jing's 5 million operating expenses. However, Zhang Ning shook his head, "Sister Qing, Jian Jing's 5 million must be granted to him." You know, he has just joined us from Lianzhong, and if we still let him be tied up in Lianzhong, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep him. Moreover, these 5 million batches will also slightly dispel the outside world's doubts about the lack of cash flow of Penguin Technology. ”

"That's right, but Mr. Zhang, our cash flow is really insufficient. Do you want to, we launch QQ game membership business. ”

Chen Qingqing wanted to use QQ game members to make a little money, but this point was still denied by Zhang Ning.

"No, it's not right now."

To charge, Zhang Ning has a lot of means to charge. Like QQ members, QQ shows, all kinds of diamonds and the like. But Zhang Ning has not pushed it all along, and why he didn't push it is because the time is not ripe. Now the number of people online at the same time is not high, and the competitors in the market are still there, and Zhang Ning does not want to launch the charge so quickly for the time being.

"However, Mr. Zhang, if this is not the case, just relying on a little advertising money, our operation will also be a problem."

Instant messaging looks small, however, because it has reached hundreds of thousands of simultaneous online people. Therefore, in terms of server costs, labor costs, and promotion costs, a very large part of the funds are spent. In addition, hundreds of thousands of QQ games have been added to be online at the same time, which is an increase in funds.

Chen Qingqing, who is in charge of Penguin Technology's finances, has been muttering in his heart, how should he live in the future.

"Sister Qing, don't worry, I know we are short on cash flow."

Pressing his hand, Zhang Ning asked Chen Qingqing not to be in such a hurry.

In fact, Zhang Ning knows better than anyone else about the company's cash flow. Originally, Penguin Technology's cash flow was enough before, but because of a QQ game, whether it was to take out 10 million in order to quickly enter the market, or to spend more than 10 million to cooperate with TV stations, this made Zhang Ning's previous cash bottom out all of a sudden.

"However, Sister Qing, it's not just that we don't have enough cash, but our competitors are also not having a good time."

"Plus, I've thought of a few ways too."

"You mean financing?"

Chen Qingqing asked.

Just as Zhang Ning was about to answer, at this time, assistant Liu Xiaoming walked into the office, "Mr. Zhang, Japan's SoftBank Company came to visit." ”

"Japan's SoftBank?"

Japan's SoftBank is a venture capital firm that once invested in Jack Ma's Alibaba.

"Strange, what is Japan's SoftBank doing here?"

Chen Qingqing whispered.

However, thinking of just now, Chen Qingqing looked at Zhang Ning again, "Mr. Zhang, it can't be that you contacted them." ”

"Nope."

Zhang Ning smiled bitterly, "He also feels strange why Japan's SoftBank ran to his own territory." ”

However, when Zhang Ning once again set his sights on this newspaper, he figured it all out.

"It's a good thing that this woman did again."

couldn't help but scold the beautiful reporter again.

But this is not the time to scold the reporter, since Japan's SoftBank Company is here, then I will meet them.

"Let's go, let's meet them together and see how much they charge us for Penguin Technology."

With Chen Qingqing, Zhang Ning met with several representatives of Japan's SoftBank.

There were a total of four people from Japan's Softbank, and Zhang Ning didn't know the other people, but Zhang Ning recognized a middle-aged man with some sparse hair and a convex top sitting in the middle.

"Masayoshi Son."

Masayoshi Son is the founder of Japan's SoftBank.

The reason why Zhang Ning recognized it was mainly because this guy invested in a lot of Chinese Internet companies in later generations.

The most interesting thing is a rumor that Son only saw Jack Ma for 6 minutes, and he decided to invest in Alibaba.

"So Mr. Zhang knows me?"

Seeing Zhang Ning call out his name, Son Zhengyi was very strange.

Although Masayoshi Son in the 2000s was also well-known in Japan, he should not have much fame in China.

"How can you not know, when Yahoo was just established, if it wasn't for Mr. Sun's investment, Yahoo wouldn't have been able to save zài."

That's right, Yahoo's investor back then, Masayoshi Son of Japan's SoftBank, was the first to invest.

"It seems that Mr. Zhang knows me very well, so I think that this time I came here, Mr. Zhang should know what it was for."

"Of course I know, I'm just wondering, we don't go to you, you actually come to us, this doesn't fit your style of venture capital."

Both of them are smart people, although Zhang Ning didn't ask Son Zhengyi about the purpose of this trip, but he can guess it if he thinks about it.

It's just that he doesn't understand.

Generally, companies go to venture capital companies to borrow money, and no venture capital company will come to you in person.

Unless, this company intends to disclose the news of financing.

However, the current Penguin Tech does not.

"Haha, you come to me, I come to you, it's the same. As long as any company has potential, let alone in China, even in Africa, I can go there in person. ”

I have to say that Son Zhengyi is a talent. If not, Son would not have been able to build Japan's SoftBank into a prestigious venture capital firm and also entered the world's top 500.

"Okay, in that case, how much do you think our Penguin Tech is worth?"

Without turning around, Zhang Ning asked directly.
