Chapter 1112: All the Talented People Will Do Something Cool
Five years of agency!
This is definitely a big surprise. Although the influence period of World of Warcraft is very long, even if a nostalgic server is opened more than ten years later, a large group of people will crowd the server.
But the real money was undoubtedly made in the first five years. It can be said that the peak was reached when one appeared, and it was maintained at the peak, and then fell like a comet.
"Why do you think I'm willing to gamble 50 million with you?" Yang Dongxu calmed down and asked calmly.
Although I was shocked, I shouted that a good person is a good person. The legend was cut off, and a bigger and more awesome game was discovered.
But purely from the perspective of attracting investment, what he said is absolutely right. What do you think about this investment? Chen Daqiao, a crazy gambler, wants Yang Dongxu to pay for him to buy chips for gambling.
"Because you are the boss of Xuri Technology, Xuri Technology can now be said to be a good game company in China. I believe that after you understand the game "World of Warcraft", you have enough judgment to judge that this is a game that will explode. game.
And the reason why I am the first company to come to you is because Xuri Technology is the best in paid game operations. Shengda has no experience in this area, so we need your support when the time comes. "Chen Daqiao is very frank.
But this confession made Yang Dongxu suddenly feel a pain in his balls.
"In other words, you have increased the price five times, and while only giving 30% of the shares, you also want me to provide technical support. At the same time, you will also cultivate a powerful opponent for Xuri Technology. Do you think I am crazy, or you? Are you crazy?" Yang Dongxu crossed his arms and leaned on the back of the chair, looking at Chen Daqiao.
"So you are also very optimistic about "World of Warcraft", right?" Chen Daqiao's eyes lit up.
Yang Dongxu felt MMP in his heart for a moment. It was a waste of his brain to talk to these talented people. If he didn't say a word cautiously, the other party could directly grasp the key points and guess his inner thoughts.
However, since he is here to attract investment, Chen Daqiao still has the proper attitude. He was not complacent just because Yang Dongxu took the initiative with one sentence.
"Shengda will not become a rival of Xuri Technology, or we will only make the game "World of Warcraft". If it weren't for the fact that Shengda needs a huge profit point to promote the company's smooth listing, I would not even spend a lot of money. Won the agency rights for "World of Warcraft".
You own 30% of Shengda shares, and you will receive dividends if the game is done well. So you should think of this game as an investment project for yourself, not as a competitor. "
If another person said this, Yang Dongxu would definitely think that the other person was deceiving him. You don’t want to be an agent for “World of Warcraft”, so what do you want to be an agent for? Want to go to heaven?
But Chen Daqiao said this, and since the other party was not a reborn person, he definitely didn't know what "World of Warcraft" meant. So what he said cannot be regarded as pretentious, nor can it be regarded as deception.
Because according to Yang Dongxu's memory of the celebrity biographies he read before his rebirth, Chen Daqiao was dedicated to creating Internet Disney, and he really didn't think much of games.
In the previous generation, Shengda did not pursue excessive pursuit of victory in the game market except for the outstanding game "Legend".
Instead, he started to get boxes. More than ten years later, Xiaomi’s joint venture and Tmall Magic Box were actually replicas of this thing. Chen Daqiao has invested huge amounts of money in recent years to develop this thing.
Later, she also tried Shengda Pay, and pioneered online karaoke before Changba and YY Live Broadcast. Later, we created an IM software, Taikbox, which is actually the predecessor of WeChat and MiLiao.
Then there are cloud storage and speech recognition. In short, Designer Chen has been running wildly on the road to be ten years ahead of the Internet of this era, and even ten cows can't pull him back.
So Yang Dongxu believed the other party when he said that he was not interested in gaming. After all, people who make games probably don’t like the current game model at all, so they just went for the virtual intelligent games in the novel.
"60 million for 40% of the shares." Yang Dongxu said.
Chen Daqiao opened his mouth as if refusing.
But Yang Dongxu said first: "Don't refuse in a hurry, listen to what I have to say. My 40% shares only have 20% voting rights. In other words, in addition to adding 10% dividends to me, compared to before According to the conditions you proposed, you will also get back 10% of your voting rights.
And I can promise you that when the price is right. At the same price, you have the priority to repurchase the shares in my hands. "
Chen Daqiao did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought. However, contemplation obviously represents attitude, because he would not be contemplative if he was not moved.
Obviously, compared to the 10% stock dividend, Chen Daqiao is undoubtedly more concerned about the 10% voting rights back in his hands. In this way, SoftBank and Yang Dongxu together only have 40% of the voting rights, and he has absolute control over the company.
Yang Dongxu looked at the thoughtful Chen Daqiao and continued: "This is my final condition and there is no negotiation. If you agree, I will notify the people below to sign the contract, and the money can be received at any time.
If we don’t agree, let’s just fight it out. You don’t need to talk about looking for cooperation with companies such as Ninetowns, Parkson or Feixun. Since you came to me, you know more or less how much cash I got back from SoftBank.
You have already won the agency rights for "World of Warcraft", there is nothing I can do about it. But your ambition is not in games, but in the Internet. Let’s not talk about how much investment you can get from Ninetowns or Feixun.
But can you guarantee that if I acquire the project you like at a high price in the future, whether it is SoftBank or the partners who join later, will they be willing to pay you to fight a price war with me again. "
This time it was Chen Daqiao's turn to be angry. Yang Dongxu obviously didn't have enough brains to make up for the money. It is undoubtedly very tiring to play with brains with a great man like Chen Daqiao, and if you are not careful, the other party will take the initiative.
So Yang Dongxu simply stopped playing with his brain and put on a nouveau riche style of being rich and powerful. No matter what you want to do in the future, I am richer than you, and I can intercept you even if I lose money. What can you do?
Facts have proved that the more arrogant and unreasonable the routine is, the more difficult it is to deal with. Because the other party is arrogant only because he is strong and you are weak, and he has you in his arms.
"I can agree to your conditions, but if the company continues to raise funds in the future. You must follow up, that is, you must ensure that my 20% voting rights in all your shares remain unchanged. "Chen Daqiao gritted his teeth and agreed.
Genius does not mean reckless, nor does it mean being a fool who thinks you are superior to me. A true genius knows how to judge the situation and how to keep his head down.
"No problem, including the right of first refusal to sell shares can be written into the contract. But I also want to add one more clause, that is, you have a 15% first refusal right to the shares that belong to your voting rights. How I deal with the remaining 5% of the voting rights and 20% of the dividend shares is my business. "
Since Chen Daqiao wanted Yang Dongxu to spend money to guarantee his own voting rights in the future, Yang Dongxu naturally added a condition without hesitation.
"Okay! "Chen Daqiao nodded, knowing that this was obviously Yang Dongxu's final bottom line. After all, the other party's 15% voting rights priority purchase has shown sincerity, and he can't argue about it.
The tense atmosphere of the cooperation was relaxed, and the two casually discussed a few words about the Internet without any nutrition, and then went back to their own homes.
However, what Yang Dongxu didn't expect was that in addition to the surprise that World of Warcraft came out two years earlier and Chen Daqiao got the domestic agency rights. Ma Fengyun also brought him a surprise, or a shocking event.
Ali, which was chased and blocked by eBay on the Internet and supported by free, survived the most difficult period in the past. Although it was suppressed by eBay, its development speed The degree of the deal cannot be compared with the past, but it has allowed many investors to see the vitality and development prospects of Alibaba.
So Ma Dahuo didn't know how to deceive Yahoo's current head, Yahoo Yang, and actually got 1 billion US dollars in financing from Yahoo Yang.
That's right, it's 1 billion US dollars, not the 60 million US dollars that Chen Daqiao took away from Yang Dongxu. And he paid the price of 40% of the shares for it.
Ma Fengyun sold 40% of Alibaba's shares at a sky-high price of 1 billion US dollars. As soon as this news came out, it dropped a heavy nuclear bomb in the Internet world. Such a huge financing even attracted great attention from the United States, after all, Yahoo is a world-class Internet giant.
"How could he do this? "In Xuri Technology Company, Chen Xin, who has already begun to perform his duties and build the foundation of the investment department, said angrily while looking at the newspaper in front of him.
Although Ali and Yahoo Yang have not yet officially signed the contract, since they have started to spread rumors in the newspapers for hype. Obviously, the two parties have reached a final agreement, and all that is missing is a signing ceremony.
As the person in charge of Xuri Technology, Chen Xin has been sorting out the investments in Yang Dongxu's hands in addition to building the investment department, and Ali is naturally within her sorting scope, so when she saw this news, she knew very well what Ma Fengyun wanted to do.
It is undoubtedly to introduce Yahoo to suppress Yang Dongxu. After all, Yang Dongxu not only has 20% of Ali's shares, but also Alipay, Dafeng Logistics, Millennium Supermarket Sites and other indispensable resources of Ali.
In short, 20% later Yang Dongxu of Alibaba shares has a feeling of wrapping Alibaba tightly from the inside out. Ma Fengyun has control over a large number of shares, but still feels hollowed out and has no sense of security.
Ma Fengyun did not hide the purpose of this financing at all, which was to tailor a logistics system for Taobao and build a healthier and independent online shopping platform. In summary, he wanted to get rid of Yang Dongxu's control, and he did not hesitate to take out 40% of his shares for this purpose.
What made Chen Xin even more angry was that these 40% of the shares were taken out by Ma Fengyun. But it was not Ma Fengyun himself. If Yang Dongxu did not follow up with the injection of funds, his 20% of the shares would definitely be diluted.
But if Yang Dongxu wanted to follow up with the injection of funds to retain his shares, it would be equivalent to taking money with his own hands to help Ma Fengyun become independent. This move is really awesome.
