Chapter 010 Valuation of Giants

A small software has caused heated discussion in the Penguin Technology Department.

It is not that Penguin technicians cannot decompile or make it, but that takes time and money. The software of works that are rushing to make will be very bloated and will definitely not be as streamlined as it is. Used in mobile phones may also cause a very bad user experience.

Manager Zhao, who was in charge of the operation, came to the scene and asked: "What is the current result?"

The technical director explained the situation: "We have a way to crack its software, but we can't imitate the essence. It wants to be quick and streamlined. It requires very complicated steps and we don't understand it for the time being. It also uses a unique compression algorithm, which is much more efficient than what we use."

Manager Zhao is not just a technical thinking. His first consideration is the impact and value on the company. It is certain that this software will arouse the ideas of competitors and thus generate ideas that can be taken into account. If you want to maintain your advantage, the fastest way is definitely not to imitate or learn secretly.

The fastest way is: acquire it and buy it together with technology.

Thinking of this, Manager Zhao asked: "Where is the information of the other party's company?"

"It's all here." The assistant sent the information, "It's a newly established small company. It has not received any financing at present, but the advertising expenses are very large."

"There is a breakthrough point when there is demand." Manager Zhao opened the information to check.

...

After Meng Qian went to the company, he received a notice.

"Penguin people are looking for me?"

Liang Tao nodded: "The other party said on the phone that he hoped to talk to you about software. It is very likely that he was interested in our technology."

"The speed is so fast." Meng Qian walked to his office and Liang Tao gave him the number.

I called out and was answered soon: "Hello."

"I am the person in charge of Master Software." Meng Qian said.

The other party was obviously prepared: "Please wait, Mr. Meng, Manager Zhao from our software department will come soon."

"Hello, Mr. Meng." A man's voice changed.

"It's me." Meng Qian said, "What's the matter with your company looking for me?"

"It's like this. We are very interested in the 'super optimization master' developed by your company. We have also learned about the current situation of your company. Software requires capital development and strong promotion channels. Penguin is one of the best in the industry for these advantages."

"Then your offer?" Meng Qian was very direct.

The other party did not expect him to be so direct, but he could not beat around the bush: "We are willing to acquire 51% of the shares of your software for 10 million in cash, and the company's operations are still under your responsibility for the development of technology, and we will vigorously promote this software."

"I have no intention of selling so many shares at the moment." Although Meng Qian was moved, the offer had not reached the ideal value he hoped for.

The other party was not surprised: "We have other plans. Our company has acquired 40% of your shares, and together with the technology that requires your software, we exclusively authorize Penguin. We give 6 million cash. The previously guaranteed channel promotion is still included in the cooperation."

"Sorry, I can't agree to this condition for the time being." Meng Qian shook his head. It seemed that he only sold for 40%, and the company was still in his hands, but the technology was exclusively authorized.

The other party asked: "What does sir mean?"

Meng Qian originally wanted to sell, but felt that the penguin was so arrogant that he would contact him. What is the attitude of other companies? So he changed his mind temporarily: "My company has abundant funds recently and does not intend to sell shares or accept financing. If there is any demand, I will give priority to finding you."

...

Although the cooperation has not been negotiated, it has already shocked the entire company.

Well, there are only a dozen people in the company, and everything spreads at the first time. But when everyone learned that Penguin Company valued Master Software by 20 million, everyone really felt incredible: the software was only ten days after it was released, so it was so valuable?

Of course, its soaring value is related to its willingness to spend money on marketing. The millions of advertising fees made it the first shot and emerged from hundreds of products. The excellent function has made it achieve impressive results, and the high frequency of users also confirmed its potential.

But no matter how you say it, it feels a bit incredible.

Meng Qian was much calmer. He knew that this would be effective, otherwise he would not spend money on marketing.

He came to the office outside and clapped his hands: "Everyone stop first!"

The employees stopped and looked at their boss.

"The second version of Super Optimizer needs to be accelerated, and on the basis of the original, it will improve its functions more. At the same time, the company will use the remaining funds to promote and advertise it more comprehensively. Technology and testers, you need to be more busy lately."

"I think everyone already knows that a large company valued it 20 million, but I think its actual value will be higher, so they all took the initiative. If the next version still performs well, I promise to give all employees a bonus, a very generous reward!"

It is simple to make employees motivated: get money.

Money is more motivated than any language, and the boss’s spurs come quickly and effectively, and no one will be unable to get along with money.

...

The super optimization master of version 1.0 has relatively streamlined interfaces and functions, while the version 1.1 has been working hard to improve it as early as when the first version was released. In addition to the core part, more perfect functions will be added, and the positioning will gradually move closer to the "safety manager".

It is certain that its release will be a potential threat to the giants.

Users will continue to grow over time. As long as they grasp the leading technology, there will be no fewer users. The giants are currently trying to crack and will succeed sooner or later, but what if there will be a result in a year? The impact on their status can be imagined.

Software may face two situations: giants suppress it, such as removing the shelves from the app store, banning its transmission channels, and even more toxic is to announce that it has Trojans and leaking privacy.

The second type is what Meng Qian is willing to see: the giants spend huge amounts of money to compete, and he, a hypocritical pretender, sold his shares for a large amount of cash.

Meng Qian needs money very much.

He was too lazy to waste time on such a software that was neither up nor down.

So he decided to continue to spend money to promote it. After the release of version 1.1, he immediately used the remaining 1.5 million yuan from the company to do advertising covering more app stores, and after raising the potential value of the software, he accepted financing, and then used financing to advertise and continued to speculate.

Taking advantage of users' enthusiasm for this novel performance, the value can easily rise.

Then he realized his small calculation: sell the company at the high point of the price and exchange it for cash. Because he was interested in the first company, the second and third company were still far away? The giant's big deal talked about acquisitions, the venture capital of the group's enterprises... As long as he was willing to sell, there would definitely be no shortage of funds.
