Chapter 191: Buying Forcefully Not Selling
After lunch, Liang Xin really didn't have much strength. Holding Jiang Lingling, I honestly slept in the bedroom for a very vegetarian nap, and slept until nearly two o'clock, and after being woken up by You Yu's phone, the two of them quickly got up and hurriedly washed their faces.
Then as soon as she got dressed and walked out of the dark room, You Yu and her fiancΓ© Kang Ming arrived together and arrived at the door of the company. Liang Xin welcomed the two into the door, Xiaofang and Zhang Siyi were not there, Jiang Lingling had to take on the job of secretary again, busy serving tea and pouring water for the two guests.
Seeing this, You Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom-and-pop shop, it's so good." While going to school, working at the same time, and when you get married, your career and life are on the same line, this is called husband and wife being together. β
"Are you banging me?" Kang Ming hugged You Yu's shoulder, "Say that I am not of the same heart as you." β
"Anyway, no one is a good couple, I've been in love with you for so many years, and you've been with me for a few days?" You Yu also put down the teacher's face at this time, and showed affection to her fiancΓ© in front of Liang Xin and Jiang Lingling.
Jiang Lingling was much better than the last time, and walked into the reception room with tea.
When You Yu saw it, he hurriedly went up to help, leaving the space for two men who wanted to talk about business.
"Where are you...... There aren't many people. Kang Ming looked left and right, and only a quarter of the huge company office area had desks and chairs in the cubicle, which looked empty.
The only people who worked on weekends were He Hongshuang in the corner, and he didn't even dare to raise his head more.
"On weekends, only one is on duty, if you don't come, I'll all go back to school now." Liang Xin smiled, "It's nothing special to stay here." β
Kang Ming said politely: "The management is a bit loose. β
"There's nothing to manage."
In Liang Xin's heart, he actually didn't have the idea of accepting Kang Ming to come in. Next, he has to use the future profits of Sanjin Company as collateral, and the more people involved in the company, the easier it will be to find out.
Especially Kang Ming, who came to buy shares on behalf of a serious investment company - recruiting such a shareholder, Liang Xin is afraid that he will not want to sleep peacefully in the next half a year. So in the face of Kangming's warm-up action as if he was going to bargain, Liang Xin said very simply: "The business is so much in total, and there are so many personnel, now the company's preliminary work has been done, and the business is on the right track. With this blind toss, it is better to let employees rest for a few more days. Our administrative director, I've been busy and sick for the past two days, and I really feel sorry for them. β
"Haha......" Hearing Liang Xin say this, Kang Ming's blade that he had just drawn out immediately took it back and said with a smile, "The truth is right, I also like to do nothing and not toss." But our side is not like yours, there are hundreds of employees in the company, all waiting for money to support their families. Everyone is old and young, and they still have to maintain the quality of life in the middle. If the company does not hurry up to expand its business, not only the boss is anxious, but the employees are more anxious than the boss. β
Liang Xin said with a smile: "Then it seems that our work concept is a bit contrary, if you don't do it today, you have to run with Teacher You for nothing." β
When Kang Ming heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
So straight to refuse?
After Kang Ming was surprised, he immediately regained his smile and said, "It's not right for Mr. Liang to say that, business is business, and concept is concept." Whether the business is good or not is objective, and whether the concept is right or not is subjective. As long as there is money to be made, things in the concept can be found while reserving differences, and in the final analysis, all ideas are also for the company's development prospects. β
Obviously, I don't want to back down so simply.
"It seems that Dongfeng Investment is not too interested in our small company?"
Liang Xin asked with a smile, raised his hand, and invited Kang Ming into the reception room.
The reception room was small, with little room for a couple of small sofas for two and a small round table.
"Lingling, accompany Teacher You to visit the company." Liang Xin entered the door and hit people directly.
Companies with big farts obviously don't have much room to visit.
You Yu looked at Kang Ming, and when he saw Kang Ming nodding slightly, he smiled and took Jiang Lingling out of the room.
As soon as the door was closed, Liang Xin said bluntly: "Mr. Kang, the first time I cooperated, I am a person, there are no twists and turns, I speak and do things more directly, you understand." Dongfeng Investment wants to invest in our classmates' network, if this matter had been earlier, I would definitely agree. But now, our cash flow is positive, and I just signed the company's dividend claim yesterday. We are doing well now, and there is no shortage of funds, and I think that at this time, not only me, but also other shareholders of our company, will not want anyone to come and pick the fruit. β
"Hehe, I know."
Kang Ming smiled and nodded, and said unhurriedly, "Your first batch of point cards are selling very well, and the goods are distributed all over the city, and there are your point cards in many Internet cafes and newsstands, and I have also noticed it." And yesterday, you also updated the game's interface, and the appearance is also very beautiful. I have always paid attention to the situation of your company, and Xiao Yu often mentions you to you. β
It's nice to say, but that's the end of it.
Kang Ming immediately changed his words, "But are you really satisfied with this?" Is it just one acre of land in W City? If that's all there is to it, I can tell you very clearly now that this kind of Internet companies that rely on regional markets will definitely not be able to do it for long. Of the dozen or so projects we have voted for, none of the sites that want to be 'local' have survived. Now even the best game tea garden, guess who is the biggest advertising order they have received in recent times? β
Liang Xin's eyes narrowed, "Classmate network? β
"Yes!" Kang Ming said, "We Dongfeng Investment, in the game tea garden accounted for 35% of the shares, the tea garden now has a large number of users, the activity is extremely high, but the number of merchants willing to advertise in the tea garden is very small.
Why? The reason is simple. Because businesses in other places do not need to go through the game tea garden, there are other ways to open up product sales in W City, and the effect may be better; If it is those who can't get on the road, this bit of advertising traffic in the tea garden is of little use to them. On the other hand, local businesses, local businesses, before the tea garden, didn't they also live?
Only a new company like yours, which happens to be an Internet company, can advertise on the game tea garden when it first opens, and it can have a good effect. In this regard, your previous decision to advertise on the game tea garden is very correct. So I'm very optimistic about you, you have a good sense of the market, which is one of the main reasons why I want to invest in the classmate.com. β
"Oh well, thank you." Liang Xin is still neither salty nor light, and he doesn't eat Kangming's little tricks.
Seeing that Liang Xin didn't eat his sycophant feints, Kang Ming immediately brought the topic back and said, "So what do I mean, my meaning is also very simple." It's just that you want to make an Internet company bigger, and there is no future for you to shrink into one place. The market of W City is too small, and it cannot support a large and medium-sized Internet company just by relying on the market size and consumption power of this city, let alone provide your website for listing. Mr. Liang, you should also go to the idea of going public when you made this website, right? Even if you don't want to, what about the shareholders in your company? I heard that Mr. Zhou, who invested in forks, also invested money on your website. β
"Mr. Kang's news is very well-informed." Liang Xin couldn't help but smile and asked, "Can I take the liberty of asking, who revealed this news to you?" β
"I also listen to others." Kang Ming pretended to be stupid and didn't hide it, and said with a smile, "It is impossible to verify who it came from." But...... That's true, right? β
Liang Xin knew that he couldn't hide it at all, so he nodded very simply, "Yes, Mr. Zhou of Fork Investment is one of our shareholders." β
"Mr. Zhou always has an eye!" Kang Ming said, "It seems that he took the lead!" β
Liang Xin said with a smile: "So you see, we already have an investment company as a backer, and Dongfeng Investment is fated to have no part." β
"It's not a ...... fate," Kang Ming smiled, taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, "Do you mind?" β
"Mind."
"......" Kang Ming was obviously stunned, then smiled, put down the cigarette, shook his head and said, "It seems that Liang is always a little resistant to our entry, can you tell me why?" β
"Probably because he is stingy and ignorant, stubborn and self-serving, and short-sighted."
In order to sell the company's interests independently, Liang Xin did not hesitate to insert himself three times.
Kang Ming smiled more and more bitterly and said, "Mr. Liang...... Xiao Liang, as a person who has come over, my brother really wants to persuade you. Such a company, if you only rely on your own strength, no matter what background you have in your family, you really can't do it.
I've seen a lot of sons and brothers, and they were all the same as you at the beginning, all of them were high-spirited, and they always felt that the world and the world were in their own hands. I thought that I could become bigger in one year, stronger in two years, monopolize the national market in three years, and ring the bell at NASDAQ at the end of the third year. The result? There is one counted, and all of them are all chicken feathers, not to mention ringing the bell, in the end, there is no money for knocking on the back. β
Liang Xin pretended to be dead and said: "I'm not afraid, my life is up to me." β
"Uh......" Kang Ming looked at Liang Xin's expression on his face, his brain was numb, but he still didn't give up, "Xiao Liang, I'll settle an account for you." How much can you sell your point cards in a month now? I'll count a little more, half a million sheets. A point card of six yuan has a turnover of three million a month. Deduct the money that should be taken downstream, up to 1.5 million. It died in a year, 18 million. But if you want to sell 500,000 point cards, you need at least 5 million registered users, right?
This data ratio is already very exaggerated, in fact, it is impossible to do it, but I will assume that you can do it, you are very different, you are very capable. That's nine million people in W City, more than half of whom are your users.
Have you ever thought about how far your software and hardware investment will be if you want to meet the daily activity of five million people, at most, two or three million people online at the same time? How much bandwidth do you need to support this volume? How high does the server need to be configured to allow millions of people to jump on your site without your site stuttering? Not only is it not card-free, but it is also so smooth that even the recharge can arrive in one second or two seconds, which does not affect the user's experience at all?
How much does it cost to rent such a super server for a year? If you spend money to prevent data breaches, how much will it cost? And how many programmers do you need to hire to maintain this data? What is the basic salary of these programmers? As the company's staff grows, how much will the additional day-to-day administrative expenses increase? Just five insurances and one housing fund, how much is it? Also, there are so many people, there must be office space, right? Do you know how much the office building in W City is selling for now?
It's not cost-effective to rent it all the time, buy it yourself, can you afford it? In this way, can your annual profit of 18 million yuan support the long-term operation of this website? Besides, can there really be 18 million? Let's talk about something realistic, your current situation is at most one-tenth of this amount a year, right? One million and eight million? I think I'm about the same, right? β
Liang Xin looked at Kang Ming, who was foaming at the mouth, and did not answer positively, but gently pushed the teacup forward, "Mr. Kang, take a sip of tea first." β
Kang Ming picked up the teacup, took a big sip, and immediately continued: "Xiao Liang, you are short of money, you are definitely short of money now." The more you want to be bigger, the more you lack money! Do you want to live with your profit of less than two million a year? If it's just to make two million a year, with your background, what industry can't you earn? Why do you have to do the Internet, it's meaningless. β
Liang Xin said lightly: "I have no background. β
"Yes, yes, I know, you are self-made, self-reliant, and absolutely not relying on your family!" Kang Ming was obviously brainwashed by You Yu, and he thought that Liang Xin was an authentic child of a family.
Liang Xin didn't explain much, but still said: "But I really don't need money now, and the money doesn't fall directly into my pocket." β
"Yes!" Kang Ming misunderstood, and thought that Liang Xin was trying to cash out and run away, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice raised a lot, "In this way, you make a price, and I will personally pay out of my pocket to buy some of the shares in your hand first." As a shareholder of the classmate.com, I will submit an application for capital injection to Dongfeng Investment, so that you can get the money personally, and the classmate.com can also get the money. β
Liang Xin said: "Then if the business loses, won't it hurt you?" β
"Invest! Of course there are risks! How can you say that what you want me to do is harmful to me? β
Kang Ming said, "What is the current self-valuation of your company?" Or just let me pay a price, 200,000 yuan, and I will buy 5% of the shares in your hand! In this way, the valuation of the company is...... Four million. Dongfeng Investment invests another 4 million in you, but as long as it is less than 50% of the shares, how about it? You will also be allowed to buy back shares in the future......"
"Let's talk about the future." Liang Xin said, "And 200,000 yuan wants to buy five percent of my shares, this price ...... Tut! Liang Xin shook his head, looking greedy and insufficient, "Our moonlight is a dividend, and I took more than 140,000 yuan." If you have a mouth, just buy the shares in my hand with this amount, Mr. Kang, this price is not suitable. β
Kang Ming asked, "Then how much do you want?" How many shares do you own? β
"It's not convenient to say." Liang Xin said, "And I really don't want to sell it......" He picked up the teacup and said lightly: "Mr. Kang, I'm really embarrassed, I met you today, it's a favor to Mr. You." Let you run for nothing, don't be surprised. I'll be the east tonight, let's go to the nearby Tingsong Tower for a light meal, and I'll give you a compensation. β
Kang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.
stared at Liang Xin for a long time, shook his head, got up and said, "You don't need to eat, since Mr. Liang is so insistent...... Haha, so be it. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will cooperate well. β
Liang Xin also stood up, and the two shook hands gently.
Kang Ming pushed the door straight out.
You Yu immediately greeted him and asked with his eyes, "How is it?" β
Kang Ming just turned his head and waved to Liang Xin, "Mr. Liang, see you next time." β
"Okay, I'll send you."
Liang Xin pulled Jiang Lingling and sent Kang Ming and You Yu to the elevator door.
The four of them were silent, all smiling, but not speaking.
A moment later, Kang Ming and You Yu walked into the elevator, the elevator door slowly closed, and the moment they walked down, You Yu immediately asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Didn't it work out? β
Kang Ming frowned and said, "You student, you seem to have a problem with your brain......"
You Yu's expression stiffened slightly, and he muttered, "It shouldn't be......"
Kang Ming said: "Either they are ignorant and stingy, stubborn and self-serving, and short-sighted." β
You Yu: "......"
At the elevator entrance upstairs, Jiang Lingling also asked Liang Xin curiously at this time: "Husband, what are you talking about?" β
"Didn't talk about anything." Liang Xin replied lightly and walked back with Jiang Lingling.
Jiang Lingling asked again: "Teacher You, her boyfriend, is she very powerful?" β
"Big." Liang Xin said disdainfully, "He knows a hair!" β
