Chapter 55: It's not a big deal to watch the excitement

Xiong Xiaoge can be said to be very satisfied, the whole plan is neat and detailed, and the future risks and benefits have been objectively analyzed. Especially in the wireless business, if this part is done, then the revenue of 200 million yuan in the next year is not a problem.

"I'm interested in the plan, but I'm not happy with the share of financing. It's only 5%, which is too little. Xiong Xiaoge's index finger tapped lightly on the plan to express his dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Xiong, there was no shortage of money in the sky. And you also saw the financial figures, and I made this difficult decision after convincing all the shareholders. Even without the investment of IDG capital, it is not difficult for Skynet to reach 10 million in revenue next year, but it is just a matter of more and less. Moreover, there is more than one venture capital in ChinaAMC now, and I think SoftBank Huaxia will not refuse my request. ”

"IDG Capital wants at least 10% of the shares, $5 million. If it's okay, I'll be able to settle it today. "Xiong Xiaoge doesn't care about SoftBank, they just entered the Chinese market this year, although they invested in an Ali and are now in the limelight. But it can't stand up to IDG's wolf pack policy.

"I'll propose a compromise plan, what do you think, Mr. Xiong. 5% of the equity of Skynet was obtained in the form of unilateral capital injection by IDG, and 5% of the equity of Pangu Technology under my name was transferred to IDG Capital. ”

"Do you want a round A direct arbitrage? It's not appropriate, and if you do, I'll need to think about working together. Xiong Xiaoge was a little dissatisfied. This is the A round that wants to cash out, and you, as the founder and backbone of the company, are completely shaking the morale of the military.

"No, no, no" Chen Bo waved his hand and said with a smile, "I heard that you are looking for a home for Tencent, Skynet and Tengxun will exchange 5% of their equity for 20%, it should be no problem." Otherwise, sooner or later, it will smash your hands, and then there will be no gain! ”

IDG's peddling of Tencent is not big news, and many companies in the industry know it. I even found Kingsoft Software, found the Telecommunications Bureau, and found Xilang.com. But I think this technology is too simple, it's just a P2P instant chat tool, and you can do it by developing one by yourself. There was nothing awesome about shining brightly, so all of them rejected the acquisition proposal.

Xiong Xiaoge sometimes regrets it, why did he invest 1.1 million US dollars in his head at that time, and now Teng Xun is about to turn yellow eggplant.

But suddenly an interested buyer appears, like using his big color TV to exchange the broken radio in your hand, what do you think? Some people may be proud in their hearts, thinking that they have made a lot of money, and they will not do it. But Xiong Xiaoge is not a stupid person, and if you think about it in reverse, that is, Tengxun must have more value than you pay now, but others haven't found out.

Well, it's okay to replace, but you can't replace the entire equity. This kid in front of him is so shrewd, he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, he must keep some of it in his hand, Xiong Xiaoge thought so.

After a period of back and forth, Chen Bo finally exchanged 5% of Skynet's equity for 15% of Tengxun's equity, and the other 5% of Skynet was exchanged for IDG's capital injection of 3 million US dollars.

In this way, the market valuation of Skynet has reached 60 million US dollars, but the valuation has always been virtual, and it only represents the estimated market value of the future. Basically, there is no market, and the other party gave a market valuation of 80 million when Tencent Fund was financed by the MIF fund, but the company can run rats.

At the same time, Chen Bo requested that no interference be allowed in all internal operations, and independent directors could be dispatched, and Chen Bo nominated Wang Gongquan to serve as the director. The main one is that people are good at communication, and the second is that the enterprise management is very rich, and many places can help Skynet quickly get on the right track.

After the A round of financing, Chen Bo still holds 38% of Sky.com's shares, Mo Fei 25.5% is the second largest shareholder, Hesheng Capital 19%, IDG Capital 10%, and Zhang Yiming down to 7.7%.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Chen Bo basically carried a full set of materials, all the official seals, and then immediately signed the agreement, which was impossible to run. It must be done before the press conference, otherwise Chen Bo is afraid that after the press conference is over, Xiong Xiaoge will eat him.

On October 15th and 16th, Chen Bo and more than a dozen record companies that have cooperative relations gathered together for a closed-door meeting, from 9 o'clock in the morning to midnight, and finally settled all the rules for two days, which contributed to the birth of the Huaxia Record Industry Association.

It is because there has never been such a powerful music industry association in China that the rapid development of the Internet has impacted the healthy development of the entire music market.

Huaxia also has a music author copyright association, but this association is completely weak, mainly for the purpose of protecting songwriters, but the combat effectiveness is extremely low, has been compromising, has never won, and finally followed a few large companies to pick up some soup and water.

Chen Bo will play big this time since he wants to play, otherwise he will go home and plant radishes. When a person lives for a lifetime, he will naturally be vigorous. This time, it gathers the five major international record companies, plus the more influential domestic companies such as Sea Butterfly, China Singing, Rolling Stone, Polygram and other companies to form the Record Industry Association, and then unites the Music Writers Copyright Association.

This gorgeous lineup basically covers the Chinese music scene, and all the evidence and data Zhang Yiming has been prepared and monitored in real time.

On October 18th, Chen Bo, who had rested for a day, appeared at the press conference of the Shangri-La Hotel in high spirits, and Guangguang Media was responsible for the public relations of the event, renting a conference room that could accommodate less than 200 people.

As the saying goes, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and the media is also this kind of mentality. Good things can be said for two days at most, and bad things can be passed on to you for a month.

There are more and more media outlets, and the empty venue is gradually filled. The mainstream media and roadside tabloids were all present, but the name was not seen, because Hangzhou is more attractive than here at the moment.

Representatives of the Record Industry Association, the Copyright Society, and Sky.com have all arrived and stepped onto the rostrum together. There were bursts of shouts from the audience in an instant

"Ah, the queen of heaven Wang Fei is also here! It's really not in vain. ”

"And Li Zhongsheng, the music godfather of Taiwan Island!!"

"And producer Gao Komatsu! The lineup is so strong, I'm looking forward to it more and more! ”

"Who is the young man in front of him? How could you walk with these big names! ”

Everyone has a serious expression, of course it is impossible to smile on this occasion, Chen Bo finally did not wear a T-shirt to attend this time, but changed into a cyan suit, which is more business casual and solemn.

Mo Fei served as the host of the press conference, and first made an explanation that Sky.com, together with two industry associations, has jointly sued the three major portals for music copyright infringement. And the case filing approval form of the Chaoyang District People's Court was displayed on the spot, and in an instant, Mo Fei was surrounded by magnesium lights, and the audience sounded a click shutter.

Next is Guan Xin, music director of Sky.com, who announced the data collected by Sky.com on the spot, since October 10, the three portals have launched music download business one after another, as of 8 o'clock in the morning, a total of 3178 songs have been downloaded, and the total number of downloads has reached 3 million.

Then the representatives of the Recording Industry Association condemned and demanded that each song claim 100,000 yuan as an economic loss, and compensate its artists for reputation infringement of 50 million, everyone gasped, 3178 songs are 100,000 yuan each, that is more than 300 million, plus 50 million reputation loss fees, the three companies are not allowed to lose their pants.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Fei, Gao Xiaosong, and Li Zhongsheng took the stage one after another, almost tearfully accusing this serious piracy, demanding that they be taken off the shelves immediately and stop disseminating all songs that have not obtained music authorization.

The final finale is, of course, the CEO of Sky.com, the protagonist of this behind-the-scenes planning, and his first appearance in the field of public media.

More media people are curious, but it is also understandable that the Internet is a young industry, and most of the practitioners are relatively young. Ding Lei, CEO of NetE, is only 29 years old, but this young man looks much younger than Ding Lei.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Bo, CEO of Sky.com, Erdong Chen, Bohai of Bohai. If you have a friend who wants to be crooked, please automatically face the wall for three minutes. ”

Compared with the unusually serious speech in the front, Chen Bo's relaxed opening remarks brought some relaxed atmosphere to the scene.

"It's nice to be able to tell you something that isn't so pleasant in this relaxed environment. In the Internet industry, Skynet is still a primary school student, not even a primary school student, more like a toddler. But even children understand the reason, some of the so-called Internet seniors. but openly plagiarized and stole other people's copyrights for their own interests. ”

"For piracy, I think all journalists and friends feel the same way, and often we work hard to write an article. It was reprinted word for word by some unscrupulous media. Manuscript fee, no! Authorship, too! In this way, the fruits of hard work were picked away by others like robbers. Comparing the three portals, isn't it exactly this kind of robber? ”

Chen Bo's words have resonated with many reporters, and this situation is not uncommon. The big media are better, especially some tabloids, and they have put together a page for one issue. There may not be a few articles on the entire page that they wrote on their own.

"At the same time, the low quality of the music is no different from the noise of the music. It's like how we feel when we read a pirated book, with a lot of typos and a preface that doesn't match the afterword. I don't know and think it's because of the singer's strength, which affects the reputation of all singers. Fortunately, pirated books have at least a right of authorship, and we found that not even the name of the songwriter appeared on the three major portals. ”
