Chapter 837 [Price Determination]
With the exposure of Xingyu Internet Cafe, more and more people and media organizations are eager to know what has happened to the Internet café industry.
The bigwigs of the industry's top capital institutions such as venture capital funds and Hillhouse Capital were also asked about this matter by reporters interviewed in some public places, but the bigwigs were very tight-mouthed, and they couldn't pry any valuable news at all.
In fact, even if they want to break the news, they don't have much to expose, because they don't know much, and the biggest thing is to say Luo Sheng's name.
The more this is the case, the more it makes people feel like a cat scratching itchy, and the more it feels like there is definitely a big deal in it.
As a result, many media organizations go directly to chain Internet cafes to collect information, but the information obtained is of little value, either in renovation or upgrading, and consulting with those Internet café managers does not get useful value, because they don't know, let alone ordinary network management employees.
To say that the most concerned about this matter is the more than 100,000 or 200,000 large and small Internet café owners across the country, and the strategic vision of "10,000 store chains" posted on the official website of Xingyu Internet Café is the lingering words of those Internet café owners.
As practitioners in this industry, these Internet café owners think about it more, and when they see the Xingyu Company that was born, they realize that the entire industry is about to usher in an inflection point.
It's anxiety and confusion for them.
On the one hand, with great expectations, on the other hand, panic, Xingyu Internet Cafe's "10,000-store chain" strategy is in full swing to expand rapidly, and it has engaged in mergers and acquisitions across the country to integrate the resources of major Internet cafes.
This gives today's large and small Internet café owners two directions, on the one hand, they can sell the hot potato in their hands, and now Xingyu Company's large-scale mergers and acquisitions are a good opportunity to get rid of them, and it may be more difficult to miss this opportunity later.
You must know that the days of Internet cafes nowadays are more difficult than most people imagine, many Internet café owners are losing money, and some Internet celebrity Internet cafes opened by big Internet anchors were more popular at first, but soon they fell seriously, and their continued profitability was worrying.
Big data will not deceive people, taking this year's data as an example, there are more than 1,200 new Internet café-related enterprises nationwide, but more than 7,000 have been revoked and cancelled in the same period, in other words, this year's Internet café-related enterprises have decreased by more than 5,800, and the industry as a whole has a clear negative growth trend.
But on the other hand, I am afraid that I will sell it after I get rid of it, if the Internet café industry takes off because of this inflection point to a new outlet, and dies before dawn, I can't regret the rhythm of breaking my thighs.
Obviously, this is a dilemma, but it is a choice after all.
As a result, some Internet café owners chose to take this opportunity to transfer and cash out, and some Internet café owners chose to join Xingyu Company's "10,000-store chain" strategy and become a minority shareholder without real rights in Xingyu Company according to the asset consideration.
These bosses who joined the company bet that Xingyu company will be able to successfully list in the future, the shares in their hands after the consideration are the original shares, once the listing is successful, the shares in their hands are the stocks in the primary market, and the value must be several times the premium after the issuance and circulation in the secondary market.
Moreover, as a minority shareholder, they have no restriction period, and they can cash out through secondary market transactions on the day of listing, or they can continue to hold it to rise, and they can decide for themselves that there will be dividends if they hold it, of course, the premise is whether Xingyu Company is willing to take the profits out of dividends.
Those who are willing to join, although there are also gambling elements, but it is not without logic, and the biggest logic is to see that the major shareholders of Xingyu Company are venture capital funds, Hillhouse Capital and other top capital institutions.
In fact, the brain turned a little brighter, a little faster, to know that Xingyu Company is 100% listed, even the social security fund is in it, is it possible not to be listed?
As long as the listing is successful, you can make a lot of money, because the consideration in your hand is the original stock, which is a stock in the primary market, even if it falls below the issue price, as long as you sell it on the opening day, you will make a steady profit.
……
In the following days, Xingyu Internet Cafe was expanding wildly, and more than 200,000 Internet café owners finally realized that this was an outlet for take-off.
As a result, the phone number of Xingyu Company was blown up, and they all begged to cry and shouted to join, and after a long time, the content of the interpretation spread, and it became clearer and clearer, and fools knew that this was a way to make a lot of money and make a fortune.
Joining the Xingyu Internet café chain is equivalent to the shareholders of the big A to subscribe for shares, and the successful approval is equivalent to the shareholders who have won the lot, and as long as the new shares are won in the big A, it often means that 100% of the profits are made.
The hot spot in the real industry also brought the sentiment to the stock market, and the cloud gaming sector inexplicably rose sharply for two days.
Time passed day by day, Internet cafes announced the closure and upgrading, the Internet cafes in the first, second and third tier cities were basically integrated by Xingyu, the original boss happily signed the contract, just like the shareholders who won the new shares were excited.
After these bosses joined, they basically didn't have to do anything, just waiting for Xingyu Company's IPO to lie down and make money.
It seems that these bosses have picked up a big bargain, but in fact, of course, they have also contributed capital and taken a certain amount of risk, which is the second large-scale financing, and you must know that the purchase of virtual brain computers is an astronomical expense.
This side is expanding on a large scale, and after the renovation and upgrading, it is waiting for the virtual brain-computer equipment to be shipped, but so far the managers of Internet cafes, including Hillhouse Capital, venture capital funds, and other capital institutions have not yet known.
Now it is completely blind trust in Luo Sheng and constantly pushing forward the project, I have to say that this is the most illogical but the most logical investment reason.
On the other hand, the upstream and downstream supply chains of virtual brain computers are also fully produced and supplied in large quantities, and then delivered to the Cote d'Azur, where the final assembly is completed at the company's headquarters, and one by one the virtual brain computers go out of the production line and enter the inventory.
At the same time, the launch of the virtual brain computer is also in full swing.
……
In May, the core decision-making level of the Cote d'Azur had a video conference.
At this moment, Luo Sheng is in his home with Gao Hua, Yao Jianhong and others to start a video connection, it is worth mentioning that this is the first time Gao Hua participated in the meeting of the core decision-making level.
Everyone knows in their hearts that Gao Hua has actually entered the core decision-making level of the super giant of the Côte d'Azur, and now he is just one name away.
Yao Jianhong said: "The press conference of the virtual brain computer has been prepared, and it has been announced to the public, and it will be held as scheduled in a week. ”
Gao Hua then said: "Regarding the pricing and sales of brain computers, we have reached a consensus on the results, and Mr. Luo, you will approve it with your nod. ”
Luo Sheng replied: "Tell me about it." ”
Gao Hua nodded and responded: "We have prepared two versions, one is the luxury version to meet the needs of some rich and niche, that is, memory, hard disk, processor and other hardware are all available, rather than cloud rental services, priced at 1.22 million / unit." ”
A DNA storage disk alone costs more than 100,000 yuan, and where can ordinary people afford it, it is enough to choose to buy a version that supports cloud services.
However, there are always some local tyrants who are not bad for money, and it is a fool not to make money, and it is one who can earn one.
Gao Hua continued: "The other is the ordinary version, the official guide price is 49,999 yuan, although the price is twice as expensive as Azure-5X, but the profit may be about 1,000 yuan less." ”
Luo Sheng said nonchalantly: "This problem is not big, expand the user to make the denominator bigger, the total profit must exceed the mobile phone, and there are many smart phone brands, but there is no other branch in the world of virtual brain computer, we monopolize all profits, stepping on the corpse of Intel x86, the corpse of all game consoles, and the corpse of all VR equipment to be crowned, from now on, as long as the Internet does not disappear, this is an eternal cash cow, the strong are always strong." ”
Whether it's the Cote d'Azur's own ACC console, Sony's PS console, Microsoft's Xbox console, or Nintendo's Switch console, VR devices will be a thing of the past.
These terminal devices are all vulnerable in the face of the epoch-making high-tech products of virtual brain computers.
Luo Sheng didn't think much about it and decided: "Okay, the price is determined, I agree." ”
