Chapter 1473 I Am Here to Invest

After arguing with Zhong Qinghou at Wahaha headquarters for a long time, Li Dong was finally sent out of the building under the old man's unwelcome gaze.

When he left, Zhong Qinghou suddenly smiled and said: "This world, after all, belongs to young people."

Li Dong talked nonsense, relying on his young age and thick skin, he kept crying about being poor.

In the end, Zhong Qinghou was embarrassed and refused to agree to any conditions, and finally gave up the general agency rights in the Jiangbei area.

Of course, no one is really soft-hearted for those who are in business, especially those who can make the business bigger.

Zhong Qinghou agreed to this condition not only because of Li Dong crying poor and shameless. The Jiangbei area is now almost turned into an iron bucket by the distance.

Wahaha If you want to expand your local market share, you can't do it without Li Dong.

Before Li Dong had a good relationship with Huiyuan Zhu Xinli, in Jiangbei, including the Huaxia region, he had always been focusing on Huiyuan's drinks.

But after Zhu Xinli and Kekou talked about mergers and acquisitions, Li Dong didn't recommend Huiyuan too much.

Even if the merger and acquisition case between the two parties has been rejected, the cooperation between Yuanfang and Huiyuan has not been restored to the previous situation.

Two days ago, Huiyuan released its financial statements for the first quarter. Compared with before the M&A was not discussed, the performance was simply horrible.

Zhong Qinghou also wanted to take the opportunity to deepen the cooperative relationship with Yuanfang before the relationship between the two parties resumed, so he gave Jiangbei the general agency right.

Giving to whom is not giving, and giving to a distant place will gain more, which is beneficial and harmless to Wahaha.

...

in the car.

Li Dong said with emotion: "After all, I am still old. The older generation of entrepreneurs are now slowly withdrawing from the stage of history."

The reason for such emotion is also because Li Dong has seen the old-fashioned mentality of these older entrepreneurs.

These older generations of entrepreneurs, when they were young, also dared to fight and dare to break through.

But now, because of age and slow acceptance of new things, some gradually fall behind.

Wow haha ​​here, it still maintains the style of many years ago, although the performance has been rising,

But the increase is already very low, and sooner or later it will fall behind.

And wow haha ​​such a large scale, but they rarely take the initiative to promote and do publicity, especially on the Internet and new media, their advertisements are almost invisible.

In addition, in the area of ​​e-commerce, the other party seems to have no idea of ​​entering e-commerce.

The thing that makes Li Dong regret the most is not these, but wow haha ​​really rich!

Wow haha ​​Although the profit is not too high, but after so many years of accumulation, the other party has made a lot of money, they don't spend much money, the bank has almost no loans, but they have deposited tens of billions of funds in the bank!

With a scale of tens of billions, zero debts, and zero loans, it is no wonder that Li Dong is not jealous.

With this money in the bank, if Li Dong were to replace it, now he would spend billions at a time for promotion, and then spend another billions to expand channels, and he would definitely not lose money.

At least foreign beverages have not yet become the mainstream in the market. Wahaha is actually very competitive in China.

In addition, Huiyuan has just been hit hard. If Wahha dares to fight again at this time, or simply acquires Huiyuan, its strength will definitely increase by a large margin.

Of course, this is Li Dong's personal idea.

Zhong Qinghou might have his own considerations, and Li Dong didn't bother to mention it. Sometimes it's easy to offend people to tell the truth, so there's no need to be annoying.

...

Shangri-La Hotel.

As the time for the Treasure Funding Cocktail Party approached, there were more and more people in front of the hotel.

When a black Maybach stopped in front of the hotel, the lively crowd suddenly fell silent, and then someone asked in surprise, "President Li's car?"

"Is Li Dong here too?"

"What is he here for?"

"Is this trying to mess things up?"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and many people walked over, no matter whether they came to make trouble or not, since Li Dong arrived, acquaintances naturally had to say hello.

And Li Dong, who just got out of the car, smiled and said before they could say hello: "The eldest niece is here too?

It seems that Goldman Sachs is also preparing to participate this time? "

Liu Qin, who had a smile on her face just now, felt a little helpless, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. Li..."

"What's your name, Mr. Li? You're a stranger! It's not like you don't know about my relationship with Boss Liu..."

While Li Dong was talking, some people couldn't stand it any longer, and someone behind him joked, "Li Dong, don't bully the little girl, aren't you afraid that old man Liu will settle accounts with you?"

Li Dong turned his head and took a look, then smiled and said: "Ding Sanshi, you still dare to appear in front of me?

You don't raise your pigs well, why are you tossing with me?

"World of Warcraft" agency rights I took a fancy to first, but you are good, you insist on competing with me, why are foreigners cheap?

I was about to settle accounts with you, but you actually showed up, what a coincidence! "

Ding Lei's face was full of black lines, and he said angrily: "Whoever makes troubles knows what's going on?

We talked with each other about the agency rights of "World of Warcraft" as early as last year. How about you, you have the face to accuse me of making trouble?

A few days ago, we had a bad fight with Ninetowns, and we were all scolded miserably.

It turned out to be a good thing, you suddenly came to make trouble, and I will bear all the blame for you, so you came to pick up a bargain? "

When mentioning China's online games, one has to mention "World of Warcraft".

This game once occupied more than 13% market share in the online game market.

Since Ninetowns got the agency right in 2004, Ninetowns has earned nearly 3 billion RMB because of this game alone!

3 billion does not sound like much, but what is the concept of a game earning 3 billion in a few years?

And the game business is a serious cash cow, earning 3 billion, that is 3 billion.

In addition to profits, there are additional effects, bringing a value far exceeding 3 billion.

Now that the agency right of Warcraft has expired, Ninetowns is not strong enough. When talking about the agency right, it was almost beaten by Netease.

Seeing that Netease's victory was in sight, Li Dong's Yuanfang Interactive Entertainment Company suddenly stepped in, which immediately made Ding Lei have the urge to vomit blood.

It's a good thing he didn't trouble Li Dong, and Li Dong still troubled him. Hearing this guy's shameless words, Ding Lei really wanted to beat him up.

After Ding Lei finished speaking, Li Dong shrugged and said helplessly: "Old Ding, it's not that I have nothing to do and insist on arguing with you.

But a few days ago, when the statistical report came out, you should have seen it too.

In the first quarter of this year, Shanda ranked No. 1 in online game market share, accounting for 17%.

We are second, accounting for 15%.

Teng Xun is third, accounting for 12%.

You will also take the fourth place, accounting for 10%.

As for Ninetowns, relying on World of Warcraft, they obtained 6.6% of the market share. Although the current market share of World of Warcraft has dropped a lot, it is at least around 6%.

If I get it, then I will be number one.

It is a matter of course for Yuanfang to take the first place. Once we get the agency right, I don’t care about the money or not.

Even if you get it, you will still be overwhelmed by Shanda, what is there to be the second child.

So Lao Ding, if you fight with me this time, to be honest, I will definitely beat you to pieces in the end.

And the two of us fought so hard, even if you got it in the end, so what?

A business that does not make money, even if you get it, you will not be able to get the first position. Is there a difference between the second and the fourth?

I don't make money, but I won the first place, and the additional effect is enough for me to earn back. Do you think this is the reason? "

Ding Lei frowned slightly, and said after a while: "Are you determined to take it down?"

Li Dong said with a smile: "For sure, everyone in the industry understands that only the first can win, and the first can be the rule maker.

Yuanfang has this strength and confidence.

You won it, do you think we are willing?

So you spend money and effort, even if you win in the end, we will not sit back and watch you become the number one in the industry. "

Ding Lei pondered for a while before saying: "Li Dong, you want to span the entire Internet field, and you want to reach the top in every field?

If you eat meat, you have to leave some room for everyone to drink a few mouthfuls of soup.

Now Yuanfang is getting more and more powerful. Every time we talk about business, you always intervene. Don't you think it's too much? "

Li Dong smiled and said: "Have you passed? How much food can you eat? I think I can eat it, so I will eat a little.

If it were you, you would be the same.

Everyone, stop discussing these irrelevant topics. If you really want to continue fighting, then go ahead, I don't care. "

Seeing that the two were talking, the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable, Liuqin at the side immediately smiled and said: "You two, don't stand here discussing, let's go in together."

Because of her father, she is familiar with these big names in the industry.

Although Ding Lei just used the topic to make a play, it was considered to help her out. Seeing that the other party was run on by Li Dong, Liuqin quickly became a peacemaker.

Hearing this, Li Dong laughed and said, "That's fine, let's go in.

I'm an unwelcome person right now. Anyone who sees me wants to drive me away. Since the eldest niece and you are all here, Lao Ma is too embarrassed to drive me away. I will go in with you to have a look. "

There was a tense atmosphere just now, but what he said made everyone dumbfounded.

Others also greeted Li Dong one after another, many of whom Li Dong had met on the 6th.

These people also participated in the Weibo financing on the 6th.

In fact, regardless of the many investment banks, VC, and PE institutions in the world, companies like Yuanfang and Ali are involved. The investment banks and VCs that can really participate are only those who are fixed.

Like Goldman Sachs, IDG, DST, Softbank... Everyone is almost an old face.

Regarding Li Dong's arrival, everyone didn't know what his purpose was.

But this guy is indeed very strong. When he met Ding Lei, he immediately asked the other party to give up the "World of Warcraft" proxy dispute. It seemed that Ding Lei was indeed a little hesitant, and he was obviously a little jealous of Li Dong.

I don't know if this guy will make trouble for the financing later.

Everyone chatted while walking, although Liuqin always felt uncomfortable being called a niece by Li Dong, but maybe it was a habit, and now she was not as resistant as before.

In addition, everyone knows that Li Dong's eyes are very poisonous, and Liuqin whispered as she walked: "President Li, what do you think of the financing plan of Dibao this time?

After Wanjia.com goes online, will the distant side launch an attack? "

Li Dong glanced at her and said speechlessly: "You ask me this kind of thing?

It is obvious that there is him without me, and there is me without him.

Big niece, to be serious with you, don't waste this money.

Hasn't Goldman Sachs been cleared before?

Since he has already exited and made a fortune before, why bother to go through this muddy water.

Give up, there is no hope for digging treasures.

If Ma Yun raises funds in the name of the group, then at least there is a B2B. I don't do this now, and most people are not his opponents.

But now it is C2C and B2C, it is the online shopping market, do you think he can beat me?

Among other things, I just got stuck in logistics.

Also, you can ask their channel suppliers, is it better to cooperate with me or with him?

As soon as I held a supplier meeting, everyone flocked to it. Does Lao Ma dare to hold a supplier meeting with me?

Does he dare to sign an exclusive supply agreement with me?

He dare not!

Why?

Because Ali does not sell goods, he used to brag a lot, thinking that this is capital, and he does not sell goods or deliver goods, so he cultivates e-commerce companies, and you take the nonsense seriously.

So listen to me, you are right, you can watch the show later..."

As Li Dong was talking, a murderous look suddenly came from beside him.

Li Dong turned his head and took a look, and saw Ma Yun standing beside him with several Ali executives. Seeing him looking over, Ma Yun smiled and said: "Go on, keep talking!"

Li Dong coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Don't look at me like that, what I'm telling is the truth, it's not that everyone doesn't understand.

I have no intention of making trouble. I am here this time to see old friends on the one hand.

On the other hand, I also want to see the specific situation.

Treasure can be used for financing, and our Yuanfang Mall can also be used for financing.

I am watching and emulating now, so I can learn from it in the future.

Of course, speaking of these, maybe you won't let me in. I have one last purpose, just like the big guy. "

Everyone frowned slightly, even Ma Yun was a little uneasy, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Li Dong said with a smile: "Isn't our group an investment company? You should know.

Now that Treasure is being used for financing, isn’t it normal for us to participate?

It's all money anyway, whose money isn't money?

Maybe, one day Wanjia.com will merge with Dibao, maybe you will merge with me, that's all normal.

The ultimate goal, everyone is for this market, to make money.

So, don't reject me so much, I, Li Dong, want to raise money to buy treasure, maybe you can be more popular. "

"Are you serious?" Ma Yun frowned, unable to calm down.

It wasn't just him, but the several investment bank executives who heard him talking were also full of suspicion and surprise.

Li Dong came here as a VC!

Is he really optimistic about Dibao, or does he want to take the opportunity to enter Dibao and annex Dibao directly like Guomei did before?

Ma Yun, do you really dare to let Li Dong in?

Also, he raised money to pay for Baobao, donated money to Baobaohua, and then competed with his own Wanjiawang. Is this self-confidence or stupidity?

After thinking about it, everyone stopped, waiting for Li Dong's reply.

Liu Qin, who was standing beside Li Dong, was completely speechless.

This guy looks more and more unreliable.

Just now, she said that Treasure is useless, and told her not to waste money.

As a result, he changed before he finished speaking. If he wants to raise funds and pay for treasure, is this a slap in the face, or does this guy really want to use this method to force other investment banks to withdraw and let him enter the market?

Liuqin was a little helpless, dealing with this person was really tiring.

In today's industry, whoever can get along with Li Dong for a period of time without being tortured madly by him is considered a strong one.

Ma Yun has known him for so long, and now he can talk to Li Dong calmly, Liuqin has to admire three points.
