No. 341 Emotional Animal

Ran Qianqian didn't understand Qi Lirui's capital operation: "Is the other party stupid? ”

Qi Lirui: "It's not that they're stupid, it's that they don't know how to pretend to understand." ”

"Since the 2008 financial crisis, the real economy has not really improved. In August and September 2012, the manufacturing PMI index was below 50; From October 2012 to June 2013, the manufacturing PMI index fluctuated between 50 and 51, and the year-on-year growth was all negative. From south to north, from east to west, the manufacturing industry is jumping to scold the mother, lamenting that business is getting worse and worse. Compared with the manufacturing industry, the Internet industry seems to be a standout, even if it is facing the dilemma of the winter of web games, its profits and prospects are far more than the manufacturing industry in the quagmire. Some real economic capitals that want to transform have jumped over the wall and flocked to the Internet, hoping that the Internet business will become a new growth point for the company. ”

"During this time, all Internet companies that seemed to be more promising were collectively overestimated in terms of potential. After all, Qiao Yihui's company has several excellent web game products, and it has a group of mature game research and development teams...... This is important. The total revenue of the mobile game market soared from 3.24 billion yuan in 2011 to 11.24 billion yuan in 2012. Any team that understands mobile game development will not ask you what type of game you want to develop, and will directly hand you the check. ”

Although Qiao Yihui's company's transformation works have died quietly, the team that is familiar with mobile game development has also been trained. The onlookers who don't know the truth, especially the layman capital who has been killed by the real economy, have no reverence for mobile games, feel that there is no difference between cultural products and assembly line industrial manufacturing, and firmly believe that Qiao Yihui, which has launched products with a monthly turnover of more than 100 million yuan, can continue to launch explosive works. This real economic capital simply straightened out the financial status quo and the number of R&D teams of Qiao Yihui's company, and optimistically valued it at 200 million yuan, and intended to invest 70 million yuan to buy 35% of the shares of me and Baiguo. ”

Ran Qianqian was dumbfounded.

Ran Qianqian didn't understand the details of the mobile game pursued by capital, but she understood Qi Lirui's meaning: "Kill." ”

Qi Lirui smiled: "Investment is risky. Since the dragon is destined to learn a lesson, it is better to plant it in my hands than to be harvested by others. ”

Ran Qianqian was sympathetic: "Isn't it okay to deceive people like this?" ”

Qi Lirui: "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer." You think I lied to them, and they think they made money. ”

Ran Qianqian was speechless: "Okay, when I didn't say it." ”

Qi Lirui: "Shopping malls are like battlefields, and it is normal for me to cheat. Of course, in the dead of night, I often feel a troubled conscience. ”

Qi Lirui looked around at the adjacent Spring and Autumn Middle School: "So, I have set a principle for myself, and every investment agrees that a part of the equity income will be donated free of charge." I feel inexplicably at ease when I think that some of the money I earn from the capitalists can be used by the rich first to drive the rich later to be used on the poor. ”

Ran Qianqian smiled.

Half-jokingly explained why she was doing charity, Qi Lirui took advantage of the situation to talk about the purpose of meeting Ran Qianqian today: "Warren Buffett famously said that others are greedy when they are afraid, and others are afraid when they are greedy. This year, capital from outside the industry has poured in, and the mobile game market is too hot, and a slightly skilled veteran dares to ask for an annual salary of 500,000 yuan. Since everyone is greedy, a small player like me must leave the market early to save the principal. Qiao Yihui's 16% equity income of the free donation project had to be temporarily concluded. Of course, the 1% equity income I promised will be withdrawn from the 70 million realized funds and donated to you in a lump sum. The 15% equity income in Baiguo's name, I will wait a few days to ask her opinion - however, I think that Baiguo will definitely donate all the investment income at one time, after all, the Spring and Autumn Charity Fund belongs to her family, and the left hand is just the right hand. ”

Ran Qianqian did not rashly evaluate.

In the final analysis, charitable donations are all voluntary, and it is her freedom for Qi Lirui to donate as much as she wants and how much she loves. Mo said that Qi Lirui was willing to donate 2 million at one time, but Qi Lirui refused to fulfill her promise on the grounds of lack of funds, and Ran Qianqian would not stand on the moral high ground to criticize Qi Lirui for being selfish and selfish, forcing Qi Lirui to donate 1 million or 2 million.

At the same time, Ran Qianqian did not cry and thanked Qi Lirui.

First of all, Qi Lirui's donation object is, after all, the Spring and Autumn Public Welfare Charity Fund, and Ran Qianqian has no right to use it privately; Secondly, Qi Lirui only invested 800,000 yuan in Qiao Yihui that year, and even if she ignored the profit dividends in four years, she made 40 million yuan by cashing out her equity alone. 800,000 yuan angel investment, to four years of profit dividends and 40 million yuan of equity cash, the return on investment is estimated to be as much as 100 times. Compared with Qi Lirui's jaw-dropping and rich returns, the donation of 2 million yuan is just a drop in the barrel.

Qi Lirui made a hundred times more money from Qiao Yihui's company's project, but when Qi Lirui felt that Qiao Yihui's company had become unreliable, she decisively chose to sell all her shares to cash out.

This kind of choice, Ran Qianqian can't do.

This kind of ruthlessness, Ran Qianqian can't do it.

Ran Qianqian is an emotional animal.

If she puts herself in her shoes, even if Ran Qianqian hates Qiao Yihui again, she can't bear to ruthlessly abandon him at the critical moment of Qiao Yihui's company's transformation. Ran Qianqian always can't bear to hurt others, even if the other party is a wicked person she hates, she can't bear to hurt the other party. Fortunately, Ran Qianqian has not yet been compassionate to the realm of Our Lady, her creed is "if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world", never for the evil concept is only used to restrain yourself, will not attack good people for the sake of the wicked, and will not criticize Qi Lirui for Qiao Yihui.

Ran Qianqian can't do this kind of ruthlessness.

Ran Qianqian will not stop Qi Lirui without brains.

Qi Lirui had already mixed a pair of keen eyes in the investment world, and she was aware of Ran Qianqian's unbearable emotions, and reminded her on the spot: "Do you think I'm ruthless?" ”

Ran Qianqian hesitated for a long time and nodded slightly.

Qi Lirui raised her right index finger and shook it: "So, you can't be a businessman." As the old saying goes: 'Righteousness does not manage finances, and goodness does not serve as officials', if you take emotions too seriously, if you take righteousness too seriously, the market economy will soon teach you how to behave. Thinking about Xu Qiping's fate, if it weren't for the strong backing of Bai Guo and Wei Dongsheng standing behind me, Qiao Yihui would definitely wipe out the share income I deserved like Xu Qiping who seized power. Guo Jianglong, who is ready to control Qiao Yihui's company, is the same, not to mention that the other party's family history is full of evil deeds, if I dare to rashly invest in the field they are familiar with, they will definitely not mind letting me be a pick-up man. Capital is neither as evil as some hate, nor as righteous as others praise. In other words, capital is neutral, neither good nor evil, and it is all up to our reason to control it. And you, can't do that. ”

Ran Qianqian: "I'd rather have a little more sincerity between people." ”

Qi Lirui: "We can think optimistically like this, but we must not be stupid and think that there are no wicked people in the world." As the old saying goes: 'The wise are not more benevolent, but the benevolent must be wise', the more you want to be a benevolent person, the more you need the wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong. Otherwise, the good thoughts of you and me will be used by the wicked. ”

Ran Qianqian sighed: "You're right. ”

Qi Lirui persuaded Ran Qianqian from the position of her best friend: "If you can't change your blindly optimistic personality, you won't be able to take responsibility at a critical time." I think the reason why Wei Dongsheng doesn't let you be the leader is that he doesn't trust you to make a rational decision at a critical moment. You have to remember that behind you are the students of Oak Grove Chunqiu Middle School and countless other needy people who urgently need your rescue, and every time you are soft on the wicked, you are indirectly hurting these children. Good people need our sympathy, the wicked should be punished, and punishing evil and promoting good is the real good. ”

Ran Qianqian didn't speak, and she didn't know how to answer.

Qi Lirui also clicked to the end, without chattering endlessly.

In order to alleviate Ran Qianqian's mood, Qi Lirui pulled the topic to herself again: "Next, I am ready to make strategic adjustments, cash out a batch of old projects, and invest in a number of new projects." Of course, I won't let go of the profits of mobile games. However, whether it is the Apple platform dominated by the US market or the Zhiyu smart platform dominated by the Chinese market, mobile game products follow the cruel law of winner-take-all, and the top 50 or top 10 on the list have taken away the vast majority of profits. Given the high risk of developing a mobile game, I am ready to abandon an original team like Qiao Yihui and invest in a relatively low-risk game operator. ”

Ran Qianqian cares about Qi Lirui's success or failure from the position of a best friend: "Qiao Yihui's company's transformation risk is so high, what about you?" ”

Qi Lirui thanked Ran Qianqian for her concern: "The difficulties of mobile game publishers and operators mainly lie in coping with the review of relevant departments, marketing promotion, channel docking and other work. The tedious matters of these small R&D teams scratching their ears and cheeks are precisely my strengths, after all, I am Wei Dongsheng's good friend and Bai Guo's best friend. Four-dimensional space and other channel platforms, no matter how much rectification movement is carried out, I have to give face, and I will never dare to bully others. I think that those small entrepreneurial teams that only have R&D capabilities but no network resources should not mind sharing a share of my issuance and operating expenses. ”

Ran Qianqian did not continue to ask.

After all, Qi Lirui's business talent is much stronger than Ran Qianqian.

Ran Qianqian said too much, and it was purely a hind leg.

Qi Lirui took the initiative to continue the topic: "Remember that you have a good relationship with Xu Liping?" ”

Ran Qianqian conservatively commented on the friendship between her and Xu Qiping: "It's not good, it's not bad." ”

Qi Lirui: "I think Xu Liping's ability is quite strong. It just so happened that she was not happy with Qiao Yihui, you helped me ventilate and asked her if she would like to help me do things? ”

Ran Qianqian was stunned: "You want to dig the foot of the wall?" ”
