Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Real Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks (Asking for Votes)
Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi followed to get into the car with a blank face, and the eldest cousin Danchao galloped all the way to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
The eldest cousin Danchao parked the car, Wang Xun frowned, and asked with interest: "Brother, is it so grand?" How many people are there today? ”
"Six people."
"Why so little? It seems that I, the major shareholder, have no face! I can't be welcomed by 20 or so people! ”
"Trouble, what are you doing?" The eldest cousin Danchao stared at the round eyes. "I'll give you a whole 20 people waving small flags to warmly welcome Mr. Wang and Mr. Yang.
Are you a food stall at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse? With a wave of his hand: Boss, charter the venue! 500 skewers of meat skewers and kidneys! And then a hula crowd fills a room? ”
Yang Xiaomi thought about this picture and laughed out of a pig's cry.
Wang Xun covered his head and nodded: "Okay, it doesn't seem to be very realistic."
What kind of spec is this? ”
The eldest cousin, Danchao, explained: "The state guesthouse is ordered in advance and charged per person.
The specific dishes to serve depend on how Xu Xin confirms with the hotel.
I guess the standard should not be lower than 1,000 people, not counting alcohol. ”
Yang Xiaomi was puzzled: "Who is Xu Xin?" ”
The eldest cousin Danchao smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you go in, let's take two steps." ”
Talking and laughing, everyone soon came to the Diaoyu Taipei Gate, and before entering the door, they had to confirm with the inside by phone, and then check their ID cards.
Further inside, there is a security check, and cigarettes and lighters are not allowed inside.
The Diaoyutai Hotel does not have a star rating, but in a sense, it is the number one hotel in China.
When the high-end five-star people are fighting for service, decoration, design, and dishes, Diaoyutai is still moving.
It's called force-holding.
It's autumn, and the park is still lush and green, with 100-year-old welcoming pines and cypresses everywhere.
Small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, traditional Chinese gardens and modern buildings complement each other, showing the majestic bearing of China everywhere.
Brother Dan Chao knew that Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi were here for the first time, so he deliberately took them around.
"That's the 15th building Danruo Garden, the scenery is the most beautiful!"
"Down that road is the club, where you can swim, buffet, sauna, etc."
"Over there is Building 18, a well-known reception building for foreign heads of state, two presidential suites, one Chinese and one Western, and you can't book it for money."
"Opposite the club is Fangfei Garden, the first choice for large-scale conferences and banquets, a few days ago I attended a friend's wedding, which was a wedding banquet held in Fangfei Garden, so you can experience it yourself!"
As soon as Brother Danchao's words came out, the force of the State Guesthouse suddenly fell from the clouds.
It seems that Liu Qianqian's 18th birthday banquet is like that.
Since the requirements for external reception are not high, there is nothing to be afraid of, except for the president of the two head of state buildings, the rest of the services are nothing more than money.
Yu Yu Dada turned to Building 7 and was led to the living room by the waiter, and Wang Xun finally saw today's main owner.
At the door of the banquet hall, there stood a woman in a modest black suit, and the face that had been seen in the major media countless times in her previous life was the current Baring (not homonym, just call this) Managing Director of Asia Investment Group China - Xu Xin.
In his previous life, Xu Xin had a very good reputation in the industry, and he was also an investor who wholeheartedly helped entrepreneurs grow.
Four of the entrepreneurs she has invested in have entered the top 100 of the Forbes Global Rich List, including Ding Sanshi of NetEase and Dongge of JD.com, which shows her vision and foresight.
Wang Xunke knew that this future queen of the limelight hurriedly walked to the door, smiled and stretched out his hand: "May I ask if it is Mr. Xu?" Hello and welcome, I'm Wang Xun. ”
Xu Xin looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face, and he shook Wang Xun's hand gently: "Hello Mr. Wang, I'm Xu Xin, please come in." ”
Yang Xiaomi then stepped forward to greet politely.
Brother Dan Chao hurriedly led Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi into the door and introduced the two generals under him, Brother Dan Chao pointed to a young man wearing a black and red plaid shirt and black slacks, wearing black-framed glasses, loose hair, and a standard programmer and said: "Technical director, graduate of Beijing Post and Staff, Wang Xiao, who worked as a programmer in Baidu before." ”
Wang Xun called him a good guy, he was a member of the founding team of "Baidu Seven Musketeers", this is Wolong!
He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully and greeted him.
Brother Dan Chao pointed to another young man with flowing medium and long hair, dressed as a programmer, and said: "Technology Development Division, graduated from the junior class of the Computer Department of Jiangsu and Zhejiang University at the age of 16 - Lin Haixiao. ”
Wang Xun secretly scolded me for being too familiar, "the first person in China's Internet plug-in", the developer of "Journey", and the vice chairman of Giant Network, this is Feng Xiao!
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, not much later, the waiter informed everyone that they could go to the banquet hall to eat.
The waiter of the state guesthouse, the quality is really different from the outside, the average height, appearance, and etiquette are all hanging a five-star hotel, which will make the guests have a kind of fascination and satisfaction, and sigh that the trip is worthwhile.
Wang Xun rubbed the soft flesh on his waist and glared, looking innocent Yang Xiaomi, who only had the memory of a fish.
The vinegar is too big, isn't it just a few glances at the beautiful legs!
When he sat down, Brother Dan Chao sat on the main seat, pulled Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi, and wanted to be left and right, but Yang Xiaomi waved his hand and sat on Wang Xun's side.
After all the people are seated, open the wine and pour the wine.
Don't think it must be Moutai, Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi drink juice.
Brother Dan Chao mentioned the first cup: "Borrow Sister Xu's wine today, welcome Mr. Wang and Mr. Yang of Liyuan Shangcao Company to return smoothly from the south of Caiyun, I did you at will!" ”
he tui!
It's purely polite to say this sentence at the wine table, and you really don't drink it if you don't give face?
The little eyes of the drinker were all memorized.
Xu Xin put down the wine glass with a smile: "Why borrow my wine, I am optimistic about you, this company is here to buy shares." ”
Wang Xun also understood what the big thing was at the airport before.
Brother Danchao mentioned wine, and a toast was three glasses, and then everyone began to move quickly.
The first course is a small piece of salmon made in the cold, but the presentation is super beautiful.
Wang Xun picked up the clip and gave it to Yang Xiaomi, and she smiled sweetly and took a bite.
Brother Dan Chao immediately asked enthusiastically: "Mimi, how does it taste?" ”
The people at the table also smiled.
Yang Xiaomi frowned slightly, and her face was full of honesty: "The ingredients are very fresh, but they don't have any taste." ”
Brother Danchao was a little embarrassed, and Xu Xin helped to make a round: "At first glance, Mimi is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the gourmets of famous chefs, and the characteristics of the State Guesthouse are clear and healthy." ”
Wang Xun laughed: "Mimi, I didn't give you mustard, of course it has no taste." ”
Yang Xiaomi slapped Wang Xun angrily, and said angrily: "I know it's weird." ”
Wang Xun hurriedly raised the juice and said to the others present: "Big brother, Sister Xin, two Xiao brothers, the kid is reckless."
Replace wine with fruit juice and make amends! ”
Unhurried, concise and to the point, the toast is simply not timid, and the whole performance is extremely decent.
The rest of the people were a little impressed by Wang Xun.
This demeanor and demeanor are like the children of rich and noble families.
Brother Danchao gave Lin Haixiao a look, and the result was that Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi had an extra investigation report in their hands.
Wang Xun looked at the report: "In May 2001, Penguin Games became the world's largest online game website with 170,000 simultaneous online users and 20 million registered users.
It is the unique performance of game companies represented by Penguin Games in the bubble economy, and Penguin's profit in the first three quarters exceeded 300 million.
A whole bunch of companies and online games have sprung up in the last year or two.
In July 2001, the third wave of "Dragon Family" represented by Xigu was officially launched, the second online game "Red Moon" of BAA Games was officially launched, "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes Online" was launched online, and "Three Kingdoms Century" published by Huacai Company was officially launched.
In October, Tianfu Hotline Game Center was officially established.
In November, NetEase launched "Westward Journey Online", and the day after, Shanda's "Legend" was officially launched.
In January 2002, Netstar's "Magic Baby" was launched, and this online game, also from RB, quickly replaced "Stone Age" in the field of Q version of online games. In the same month, "Yitian" represented by Jiesanfeng Company was listed.
In May, Cicada Child Software launched "Decisive Battle".
In June, in order to make up for the poor operation of "Journey to the West", NetEase introduced "Elf", one of the three major online games in South Korea at that time, and NetEase's complex online game business strategy surfaced. On the 25th of the same month, the test of "The Legend of the Ancient Dragons Online" began, which was the first work of a Hong Kong online game in the mainland.
In July, Youlong Online launched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Online" and began to officially charge fees, and in the same month, Jie Sanfeng Company launched a test activity for its second online game "Sage Invincible", and Shanda Agency's second online game "Crazy Tank 2" began testing. Also this month, the number of concurrent online users of "Legend" exceeded 500,000, making it the largest online game in the world.
In August, Game Tangerine launched the "Chaotic Adventure" test activity, and in the same month, "Angel" represented by Gaojia Technology was officially launched.
On September 16, Ninth City launched a test event for its agent "Miracle MU". ”
Wang Xun looked at these materials, shook his head and smiled bitterly, there should have been Lianzhong, but he was killed by the huge number of users of Penguin.
Although most of these games are quickly declining, there are now several powerful opponents in the market, and Penguin is still its own, but fortunately the market is relatively large.
The grand "Legend" will be invincible in the next two years, and no one can stop it, but Chen Tianqiao doesn't care about maintenance, private services, and plug-ins emerge in endlessly.
Although Jiucheng's "Miracle Mu" is not as terrifying as the legend, it is still popular, and the later Jiucheng agent "World of Warcraft" is even more popular, and the boss Zhu Jun directly bought Shenhua.
Although NetEase's current "Journey to the West" has received little response, the subsequent "Journey to the West 2" on this basis has received an excellent response, and has given birth to a generation of unforgettable, undefeated phenomenal game "Fantasy Journey to the West".
Wang Xun put down the report, took a sip of juice, looked at his brows and began to think.
Brother Dan Chao spoke at the right time: "Brother, the game is an outlet.
I'm going to walk on my legs for two days, and the music copyright is almost collected, so I will open a music website and let Wang Xiao be in charge.
In addition, we will set up an online game company to act as an agent or develop our own online games. ”
Wang Xuntang asked, "Teacher Xu, have you done it too?" ”
Brother Dan Chao said triumphantly: "The old man said: It's not a secret, "Journey to the West" has been broadcast for so many years, and the music in it has been used many times, and you were the first to talk to me about copyright. ”
This is also the case, for example, in the era of CRBT, the song "Zhu Bajie Carrying a Daughter-in-law" made a lot of money, but he didn't get a penny.
The old man ran around, and in the end, the various websites compensated for the cost, a total of 8,000 yuan. One of them somehow calculated, only gave 2 yuan 7 cents!
In 2014, Han Han filmed "There Will Be No Future" and used a piece of "Daughter's Love".
Lyrics: Yang Jie, composer: Xu Jingqing.
Han Han found the two and said that they wanted to use this, and each gave 50,000 yuan.
Both of them were stunned, and their heads were retracted to pay back the money with music.
Brother Danchao paused and continued: "I originally provided two contracts to the old man, one was a buyout and the other was a share.
Later, I really didn't want to go, and I used it directly. ”
Wang Xun nodded, but complained in his heart: "This is called crocodile tears!" ”
Yang Xiaomi suddenly interjected: "Why don't you make a game with music?" ”
Wang Xun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered the casual game of dating that swept Internet cafes in his previous life - "Audition".
Audition (AU) is a dance game developed by T3EAINMEN in South Korea.
The game mode is similar to a dance machine, with the beat of the music, tap the corresponding arrow displayed on the screen with the keyboard, and after completing the action, the virtual character in the game will dance different dance moves.
This game should not have started planning yet, in the previous life, Wang Xun remembered that it was only in May 2005 that the official open beta began.
From the introduction of two games in 2005 to 2006, in one year, the revenue of Jiuyou.com, which represented "Audition", exceeded 600 million!
With a share of 7.8% of the domestic online game market, it ranks fourth after Shanda, NetEase, and Jiucheng.
In the field of large and medium-sized casual games, it ranks first with a market share of 30.8%.
Wang Xun thought of this, and he didn't feel excited!
That's right, this game is perfect for music users!
And then with penguin drainage, think about it is lying down to make money.
Listen to songs, play music, and dance to music!
It's seamless!
How popular was the Audition at that time?
In the three years of 05, 06, and 07, the owners of Internet cafes across the country collapsed!
Why?
The computers in the Internet café are almost all broken!
It's all broken by the people who play Audition!
At its peak, Audition had millions of people online at the same time, and in Internet cafes at that time, nine out of ten women were playing Audition, and one was playing Warcraft or Bubble Hall.
There are many women who play the Audition Troupe, and there are naturally more men, and for a while, the Audition Troupe has almost captured all the Internet cafes in the country, and when you enter the Internet café, it is full of the sound of popping on the keyboard, and the popularity is almost terrifying.
Audition is simply a strategic weapon at the level of a nuclear warhead!
But there are a lot of things in this broken game, and a number of non-mainstream ones have been generated!
coincided with the Wenchuan earthquake and the suspension of entertainment activities, a non-mainstream girl named Zhang Ya suddenly appeared and recorded a video to scold the people in the disaster area.
However, public opinion quickly fermented, and they all said that the person scolded people because he was playing in the dance troupe.
Later, Zhang Ya was arrested by the police, and on the seventh day of the capture, "QQ Dazzling Dance" was open beta.
According to the pre-investigation, the original video did not mention "Audition" at all.
But it's not over, the Audition Troupe was named by the official again and again, the momentum was greatly reduced, and the market share was quickly swallowed up by "QQ Dazzling Dance".
This is business warfare!
If you want to be less disgusting, you don't want to be disgusting, Wenchuan dares to take it out and say something!
However, say hello to Brother Deer and open an interface for the penguins, and it is easy to make outsiders laugh when they fight.
Yang Xiaomi continued: "The dance mat, with the music transferred to the computer, will definitely be very interesting. ”
Wang Xun's train of thought was interrupted, he looked at Yang Xiaomi with gentle eyes, and applauded in support and said: "Mimi's idea is very good, I looked at the information, this agent game is basically stealing the country, Brother Lin, can you see if this code can be copied?" ”
Lin Haixiao raised his eyes, serious and serious: "It's quite simple, at most the material illustration takes a little thought." ”
Wang Xiao yawned, after all, he had just investigated the CRBT business from the country.
Brother Dan Chao turned his head to Wang Xiao and said, "Lao Wang, I know that you have worked very hard during this time, and your energy is focused on the preparation of the CRBT business.
I've called you here to hear about our future strategic planning and financing plans, after all, you are my most important partner. ”
Wang Xun continued to add: "Your game needs to be made into 3D, it is best to team up to challenge together, and you also need a chat room for players to complete socialization, I will tell Brother Xiaolu to keep the penguin account directly logged in, what do you think?" ”
Brother Dan Chao rubbed his hands excitedly and nodded like pounding garlic: "Isn't this just lying down to make money?" ”
The two technicians met at a glance, and their current dividends have met all the needs of life, and now they are pursuing a sense of accomplishment in the success of the project.
Xu Xin squinted and smiled: "Then let's discuss the matter of shareholding, after all, the development project needs money, right?" ”
Wang Xun's eyes were cold: "Sister Xu, although it is said that the mouth of eating people is short, the hands of people are short."
Why should I share this golden rooster that lays eggs with you?
Wouldn't it be better if I gave a portion to the penguins? ”
Xu Xin was not annoyed, and said calmly: "I can provide a lot of funds for your research and development, and I can also introduce the four major portals to your SP company to attract traffic, and the most important thing is that you want to go public?" ”
Wang Xun sighed in his heart, specially, this woman is too smart.
Don't look at Xunmi Group as a listed company, Internet listing and real estate listing are not the same thing.
Internet companies want to go public, without the endorsement of venture capital companies, let's play eggs!
Hey, life is so hard.
It's better to play less with these people in the financial circle.
Wang Xun smiled bitterly and nodded: "Eat, eat, these things have to be discussed in the office." ”
With a wry smile, the waiter brought another big dish.
A cup of Buddha jumping over the wall.
The core main dish of the Fujian system, when the materials are exquisite, and the power consumption is wasted, it is the best delicacies in the world.
Just a taste of abalone, you need to soak it in cold water for 3 days, soak it in 80 degrees hot water for 2 days, and then simmer it for 3 days before it is really ready.
And the raw materials for a Buddha jumping over the wall, there are dozens of kinds in total!
The state guesthouse is a divided meal system, one cup per person, and Wang Xun can't wait to scoop it down and bring it to his mouth.
When you land, you feel like your taste buds are exploding.
Soft and tender, rich and fragrant, but not greasy, the taste is top, the restrained aroma is the top, and it is worthy of the reputation of the world's first expensive dish!
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
The main dish was served, which immediately relieved the embarrassment and made the guests and hosts happy.
The next day, at 10 a.m.
Internet companies are accustomed to working at night, firstly, in order to stagger the peak, and secondly: programmers are night owls.
Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi came to Xunmi SOHO Modern City on Dawang Road.
In this millennium, SOHO Modern City is an outlier in the Yenching real estate industry, which is different from ordinary residential real estate or commercial office buildings, and has launched the concept of "small office, home office" (SOHO) for the first time.
Pan Shiyi, one of the six gentlemen of Wantong in the previous life, was a shrewd real estate businessman who became famous in one fell swoop through this project, and then copied Jianwai SOHO, Wangjing SOHO, Sanlitun SOHO and other real estate projects with the same concept, all of which were very successful, and SOHO China had a market value of nearly 50 billion yuan after its listing.
However, this idea is a masterpiece of Honey Hunting.
Xunmi SOHO Modern City can be said to be the gathering place of all small and medium-sized companies such as SP, Internet, cultural companies, and film and television companies.
Putting the company's office address here, Brother Dan Chao is definitely well thought out.
First of all, it is very close to the International Trade Center, and the International Trade Center CBD area concentrates almost most of the domestic and foreign investment institutions, which is conducive to the company's development to a certain scale of financing, and it is also very close to the Yanjing Radio Station, which is conducive to media cooperation, and it is not far from the Yanjing Mobile of the East 40 Meihui Building.
The rent here is quite cheap at this stage, Brother Dan Chao took advantage of the relationship of looking for honey and did not spend the rent to take the commercial and residential apartments in the back, it is estimated that when the scale of the company develops, it is better to move to the commercial office building in front, after all, his arrogance is actually in his bones.
Looking for her mother, Li Hong still remembers the dreams of Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi's chartered father-in-law and chartered mother-in-law, and resolutely refused to sell them.
Because of the SOHO office concept, the supporting services here are also very complete, and restaurants, supermarkets, banks, etc. are very convenient.
Wang Xun whispered to Yang Xiaomi about the surrounding environment, and strolled to a three-bedroom apartment in Building 8 of SOHO Modern City, where a sign was hung that read "Liliyuan Shangcao Technology Co., Ltd."
Brother Danchao looked like he had just woken up from a hangover, standing at the door early, waiting anxiously, and when he saw Wang Xun coming, he made up his mind: "Oh, brother, you can count on it, Sister Xu is too good to drink, your brother and I vomited three times in the middle of the night." ”
Wang Xun shook his head and whispered in his ear: "If you wait for Sister Li's return, I can sue you." ”
Brother Dan Chao suddenly broke out in cold sweat all over his body.
Yang Xiaomi covered her mouth and snickered: "I heard it, Brother Danchao, you can watch it!" ”
Brother Dan Chao nodded like pounding garlic: "What are you talking about, what are the conditions, I will be in the hall, little ancestor hurry up, Sister Xu is about to vomit this tea in the conference room." ”
Wang Xun joked: "Young, there is a conference room in the three-bedroom apartment?" ”
Brother Danchao laughed: "My name is a sparrow, although it is small, it has all five organs." ”
The commercial negotiations continued to be a battle of words, which resulted in Baring Private Equity Asia investing US$15 million and acquiring a 10% stake.
The shareholding structure before leaving the original Shangcao Technology was: Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi jointly held 80%, Dan Chaoge 10%, Wang Xiao 5%, and Lin Haixiao 5%.
After the completion of this round of capital increase, the company's equity ratio has become: Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi jointly hold 62%, Dan Chaoge 17%, Baring Asia 10%, Wang Xiao 5.5%, Lin Haixiao 5.5%.
The post-investment valuation of Liliyuan Shangcao is $150 million.
The equity of Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi is held by Brother Danchao, and the power of attorney also has the signatures of Xun Ma and Godmother Yang Chunling.
It is necessary to reduce holdings, otherwise people can set up another door.
After the agreement was signed, Brother Danchao hugged Xu Xin's hand and said, "Sister Xu, we will be a family in the future, take care of my little brother." ”
Xu Xin smiled: "It is indeed a family, we will pay tomorrow and cooperate more!" ”
Wang Xun changed his mobile phone to vibrate because of business negotiations, which will ring all the time.
He apologized and exited the door of the conference room, and after answering, the unique voice of Brother Qianqian came from the other end of the phone: "Xunzi, you can't finish the love trilogy for me?" ”
