Ding Sanshi was very depressed.
He created a cloud space, and Qin Feng followed suit.
He wrote a soft article, accusing the cloud space of being too big and useless. As a result, Qin Feng also wrote an article and said it was useful.
This made Ding Sanshi very angry.
Qin Feng is such a bully.
"Mr. Ding, what should we do?" everyone asked.
It was obvious that they were the first ones to get out of the cloud space, but in the end, Qin Feng picked the peach instead.
Originally, they were counting on relying on cloud space to attract office white-collar workers to use msn.
In that way, if the number of this group of people increases and the usage rate of msn increases, they will be able to obtain the next batch of financing from Microsoft.
This time, Microsoft raised US$100 million in advance and obtained 40% of the shares.
There is only one condition: the number of MSN users in China reaches 1 million.
If it can reach 1 million, then Microsoft will raise another US$500 million to help it increase the number of MSN users to more than 10 million. Moreover, this US$500 million is considered lending, not share financing.
In other words, as long as the number of users can eventually reach 10 million, Microsoft's US$500 million will only need to be repaid by the company in the future, without the need for Ding Sanshi to use his personal shares for financing.
This is naturally a very favorable condition.
But the premise is that they must first reach 1 million users.
If it cannot be reached, there will be no follow-up financing plan of US$500 million. Moreover, Microsoft's 40% equity financing plan has an additional condition. That is after the $100 million is burned, if it does not reach $1 million.
Then, 40% equity will automatically become 50% + 1 share.
In other words, Microsoft will have a controlling stake.
The money is now more than $20 million short. There is still a lot of money to burn.
But the problem is that the number of daily online users of MSN is only tens of thousands.
This is a huge problem.
From tens of thousands to 1 million, it is very difficult.
Tens of millions may not be burned out.
what to do?
"Mr. Ding, do you want to follow suit?" everyone suggested.
Ding Sanshi thought for a while and refused directly.
You should have followed the trend before. It would be too stupid to follow the trend now. This does nothing but prove his stupidity.
This cannot restore the lost popularity.
But now we have to find a solution, it can't always be like this.
Ding Sanshi thought hard.
Cloud space, if it gets cold. Then how can he attract white-collar people to use msn.
According to Ding Sanshi's calculations, there may be more than millions of white-collar workers in Beijing alone in the future. Counting the white-collar workers in Magic City, Yangcheng, and other cities, the total number of white-collar workers in China, including those who may not be white-collar workers in the true sense, but at least sit in offices and work, there are at least 10 to 20 million people. .
If you include civil servants, there are at least 30 to 40 million people in total.
These people should all be msn's loyal customer base. At the same time, this group of people is also the group with the most spending power. By then, it should be very easy to cash in on this group of people.
Therefore, he carefully constructed the cloud space for them.
But now that Qin Feng has interfered with it, his cloud space has lost its selling point. But now he can't follow the trend.
Otherwise, it would be foolish. It is not good for your own image, and at the same time, it is not good for the future development of the company.
If Wang Zhidong keeps following the trend, the outside world is used to it anyway, so it doesn't matter.
If he chooses to follow the trend, he will become like Wang Zhidong. This is not a good thing.
Therefore, he must come up with a way to avoid being thought by the outside world to have fallen into someone like Wang Zhidong, while still attracting popularity.
what to do? Ding Sanshi frowned.
For a while, there is no way.
On Qin Feng's side, Jiang Yong returned after an inspection tour in the United States.
"Qin Feng, you are so awesome." After Jiang Yong came back, he looked at the current situation of the company and was quite dumbfounded.
Qin Feng is the major shareholder, but he has always been in charge of the company. As a result, Qin Feng now spent more than 20 million yuan an extra month.
For Jiang Yong, who has always been economical and always stayed in economy class and ordinary hotels when going abroad, spending money like this is too extravagant.
But I haven't seen the ability to monetize it yet.
Of course, it feels good to be able to defeat Ding Sanshi and make Wang Zhidong a follower.
"Okay, don't worry about the money. It's not like we don't make money." Qin Feng said with a smile, "As long as we are still making money, all the investment will be worth it."
"That's true!" Jiang Yong chuckled.
Before going abroad for inspection, Jiang Yong had to argue with Qin Feng for a long time.
After all, spending tens of millions is too painful.
But going abroad for inspection was an eye-opener for him.
A real eye-opener.
In the past, our knowledge of the outside world came from hearsay from others and introductions from various magazines. With the Internet, it is a little more convenient. But no matter how you understand it, it's just scratching the surface. If you don't go there in person, you won't be able to understand and appreciate it.
This overseas inspection trip made him evolve a lot.
Therefore, although I complained about it now, I didn't take it seriously.
"By the way, have you bought any company?" Qin Feng asked.
Regarding future development, Qin Feng knew the general direction, but before rebirth, ordinary people could not remember so many things.
Therefore, Qin Feng is not sure which companies will rise in the future.
Therefore, Qin Feng also hopes to let Jiang Yong pass, and there may be different opportunities.
"Well, there really are!" Jiang Yong nodded, "I met some young people who started their own businesses, and they all have great ideas. However, I haven't acquired any companies yet."
Qin Feng was slightly startled.
"I think that globally, the best development opportunities for the IT industry are in Silicon Valley. Not in China. China is still immature in many aspects, so I just cooperated with some people and invested in the name of the company. We bought some companies. But we didn’t get a controlling stake.” Jiang Yong said, “After all, you know, those entrepreneurs don’t want the company to belong to others. Although they will sell the company to cash out, the people will also leave. So. , I invested in several companies, but did not get a controlling stake. I decided to give them room to play freely. When the time comes, if they develop, we will be profitable. If they cannot develop, forget it! There is no money anyway. many."
Qin Feng smiled.
"This is a good idea. After all, some talents are unwilling to be restrained!" Qin Feng grinned.
"Tell me, which companies are there?" Qin Feng asked curiously.
Jiang Yong smiled, then named several companies, and at the same time took out the investment agreement signed by both parties.
"Look!" Jiang Yong placed it in front of Qin Feng, "There are seven companies in total, involving different fields."
