Chapter 42: The Crisis of Future Space
No, I'm just telling a fact and I hope you make an informed decision! ”
Liu Yu saw that Fang Ping's face had changed, and he became confident again.
She believed that she had already made the pros and cons so obvious, Fang Ping must have no reason to refuse, and she didn't even dare to refuse.
This way of candy in one hand and gun in the other has made her tried and tested repeatedly in the investment world.
Since her debut, she has never seen anyone who can refuse Ruan Yin's investment.
Unless Ruan Yin himself takes the initiative to give up.
Fang Ping glanced at Liu Yu deeply and said lightly: "Thank you for the reminder." But I still refuse! ”
"What, you're still refusing?"
Liu Yu's face changed greatly, if Fang Ping's refusal in front of him was because he didn't know the consequences of rejecting Ruan Yin. Then now Fang Ping's refusal is almost understandable as a provocation against Ruan Yin.
couldn't help but have a calm face: "Mr. Fang, are you sure?" ”
"Qi Yue, send off!" Fang Ping didn't bother to talk to Liu Yu more, and said in a deep voice.
"You..."
Liu Yu spit out a word angrily, and when he saw Fang Ping's firm face, he knew that the financing of the Azure Space had completely failed, and he stood up suddenly. Without waiting for Qi Yue to send it, he said coldly: "I hope Mr. Fang will not regret it." ”
Yin fell, with his two assistants, strode out of Fang Ping's office.
Qi Yue looked at Fang Ping, and wanted to persuade Fang Ping not to be so iron-headed. But Fang Ping's face was not good-looking, and he didn't dare to say it, so he walked out of Fang Ping's office quickly and sent Liu Yu and his party.
"Fang Ping, what do you think? Why reject Nguyen Yin's investment? ”
As soon as Qi Yue and the others left, Zheng Ting, who couldn't wait, said a little angrily: "Do you know that if you refuse like this, you will push Ruan Yin to the penguin and enhance the strength of your competitors in vain!" ”
"Yes! The boss, Ruan Yin's money, and the penguin's technical background, once the two join forces, the threat to the blue space is too great! Su Xiaoxiao also said a little anxiously.
Fang Ping smiled and said, "Teacher Zheng, Xiaoxiao, you think Ruan Yin is too powerful. I admit that Ruan Yin has money, but Ruan Yin is a capital investor, and there is a budget and evaluation for investing in any product! ”
"Let's not talk about Penguin Space, or even whether Penguin will accept Ruan Yin's financing. is to accept and fight for financial resources, Ruan Yin may not be able to fight me! ”
"What's more, the blue space has grown up, and the technical team is also improving, not necessarily inferior to penguins."
"You have to have faith in the blue space, in me!"
"You..."
Zheng Ting saw that Fang Ping's oil and salt did not enter, and said angrily: "Whatever you want!" Anyway, the blue space is yours, and whatever decisions you make are all your rights! ”
Su Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, but she didn't dare to talk to Fang Ping like Zheng Ting, and said euphemistically: "Boss, look at the mobile phone project, do you want to put it first!" ”
The implication is that now there is such a capital enemy as Ruan Yin, and the mobile phone project can be put aside to free up funds to deal with it.
"No, not only can't you put the mobile phone project, but you have to speed it up. We can't disrupt our deployment because of one Nguyen Yin! Fang Ping shook his head and said.
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Okay! Then boss, I'll go down and make preparations first! ”
"Hmph..."
Zheng Ting snorted heavily and walked out of the office with Su Xiaoxiao.
As soon as the two left, Fang Ping leaned back on the sofa with a headache, rubbing his temples.
Don't look at him in front of Su Xiaoxiao and the others, he said it very easily. In fact, he was still very jealous of Ruan Yin.
After all, Ruan Yin is an international venture capital institution with a market value of billions of dollars.
Now Ruan Yin has taken a fancy to the blue space, obviously because of the big fat in the real-name social field. Now that he refuses, then he will definitely invest in other social platforms.
It is highly likely that you will invest in the penguin space.
Although the previous penguin only raised capital once before it went public, and then relied on its own profits until it went public. But the situation in this world is very different, and it is difficult to guarantee that penguins will not choose financing.
In particular, Fang Ping is most worried that Ruan Yin does not invest in penguins, but only in penguin space.
Because Ruan Yin invested in penguins, the money invested would be misappropriated by the penguins for other purposes. You can invest in Penguin Space, so the money invested is the bullet of Penguin Space attacking the Azure Space.
Sure enough, just a week later, Fang Ping's worries became a reality.
On the same day, representatives of Ruan Yin and Penguin jointly held a press conference, at which it was announced that Ruan Yin had invested 10 million US dollars in Penguin Space, accounting for 10% of Penguin Space's shares.
At the same time, Penguin itself invested in Penguin Space by means of technology, drainage, etc., plus 200 million RMB, accounting for 90% of Penguin Space.
This news broke out, which directly caused a violent shock in the Internet industry.
In addition to lamenting the generosity of Penguin and Ruan Yin, countless practitioners have also paid attention to the real-name social field, and the companies that have entered the market have strengthened their confidence, and the investors behind them have increased their investment efforts, continuing to plagiarize the blue space, and striving for a share of the real-name social field.
And the enterprises that have not entered the market have also set up projects and entered the market in great strides.
Among them are Xinglang, which once developed instant messaging, and whiteness as a search engine.
On this day, Fang Ping, who was inspecting the school's shared bicycle with Qin Qingyun, received the news, said a word to Qin Qingyun, and hurried back to the company.
Sure enough, when Fang Ping returned to the company, he found that everyone in the company was like a mourner, as if frost had beaten an eggplant. Compared with the last time the Azure Space was launched, the pressure brought by the penguins has caused more serious consequences.
But it's right to think about it, Ruan Yin, and penguins are all behemoths.
Blue space, how can you not panic in the face of such a behemoth joined forces by two at one time.
"Mr. Fang..."
"Boss..."
At this time, everyone in the company saw Fang Ping, and everyone greeted him with a smile.
Fang Ping smiled, just as he was about to speak.
Suddenly, a young man in his twenties got up from an office seat, walked up to Fang Ping, and asked, "Mr. Fang, Ruan Yin's people said at the press conference that it was because you rejected Ruan Yin's investment that Ruan Yin and Penguin joined forces, didn't you?" ”
In an instant, there was silence in the office hall, and almost everyone's eyes were over.
Among them, RH Cheng Wan's face changed, and she hurriedly stepped forward and scolded: "Liao Peng, what are you talking about?" What qualifications do you have to say so to Mr. Fang..."
Fang Ping looked around, waved his hand to stop Cheng Wan's words, looked at the young man in front of him who questioned him, and said, "Yes, it was I who rejected Ruan Yin's investment. ”
"Because I think the value of Azure Space in the future will be astronomical. I don't want to sell the shares of Azure Space at a low price! ”
"Hmph, how much do you think Azure Space is worth?" Liao Peng sneered.
Fang Ping glanced at Liao Peng deeply, and said lightly: "Originally, you were not qualified, at least not for now. But if you ask, I'll tell you! ”
"In my heart, the Azure Space is worth at least 500 billion US dollars!"
Everyone in the office hall was stunned and began to discuss.
Even Su Xiaoxiao, Chen Siming, and the others who had followed Fang Ping from the beginning were shocked, only to know that Fang Ping's expectations for the Azure Space were so great.
It's like a madman.
You must know that Wei Ruan, who is now recognized as the world's No. 1 high-tech enterprise and monopolizes the computer operating system, is only more than 200 billion US dollars, and Fang Ping actually said that the blue space is worth 500 billion US dollars.
Liao Peng was stunned and sneered: "It's too arrogant, the blue space can be worth more than 500 billion US dollars?" You're afraid you're taking us all for fools? ”
"If you don't believe it, you can go!" Fang Ping said lightly.
He doesn't need an employee who doesn't even believe in his own company, and even if such a person is talented, it will not benefit the company.
What's more, when Liao Peng spoke to him in a questioning tone, he could already see that Liao Peng had already planned to leave.
Otherwise, Liao Peng would not dare to talk to him in a questioning tone.
Sure enough, as soon as Fang Ping finished speaking, Liao Peng sneered: "You don't need to say it, I will leave by myself." I'm not going to follow an arrogant, rat-eyed person! ”
The sound fell, and he deliberately shook his head that he thought was very chic and left.
Cheng Wan's face changed, and she wanted to open her mouth to say a few words, but she looked at Fang Ping and didn't dare to say it.
Fang Ping didn't even look at him, looked around, and said lightly: "Who else, who has no confidence in the blue space and wants to leave, you can find Secretary Su now, settle the salary, and leave!" ”
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
After a while, five more people came out of the crowd, who didn't even ask for their salaries, or were embarrassed to face Fang Ping and their colleagues, and left with their heads down, or with their heads held high.
Without exception, they all lost confidence in the company's face of the two behemoths of Ruan Yin and Penguin. Don't want to waste your time on a company that's about to go out of business.
Fang Ping expected that Ruan Yin and the penguins would join forces, and the lethality would be huge. But I didn't expect this lethality to be even greater than I imagined.
Even their own employees began to wonder if the company could survive the crisis.
But he didn't show it, and he didn't pay attention to the employees who left, anyway, they weren't from the core team, and it didn't matter if they left.
Fang Ping waited for a while, seeing that no one in the crowd left, or someone wanted to leave, and he was embarrassed to leave now. didn't care so much, and said seriously: "First of all, thank you for your trust in me and your trust in the blue space. ”
"Secondly, I am glad for your choice. I am sure that you will never regret your choice today. ”
"In the end, everyone chooses to stay, so let's work together to get through this crisis."
"Okay, everyone go back to their posts and work hard!"
Yin fell, smiled at everyone, and walked towards his office.
Everyone looked confused, no, this is the end? Shouldn't a response be deployed?
