Chapter eight hundred and fiftieth chapter Li Shengli who is out of breath
The place where Rebus made an appointment was on the edge of the West Third Ring Road. When Fang Zhe's car arrived, the guy stood on the roadside and waved.
"Is this place outside the third ring road? This is the suburbs. What are you doing here?" Fang Zhe couldn't help but joke. Rebus smiled and shook hands with him, pointing to the wasteland covered with weeds on the roadside.
: "How is the location? I plan to buy it and build a headquarters building."
This statement made Fang Zhe stupid. Was it asking him to invest more? This place is not far from S Jingshan. The future expansion of the imperial capital will definitely cover this area, and the housing prices will not be too low. With the situation of Jinshan, it will be enough to get it.
It can't be used as residential land, it can only be used as commercial land. The problem is, I don't do real estate.
"Yes, where's the money?" Fang Zhe asked simply. A lot of money has been spent in the past two years. Almost 100 million US dollars have been poured in. "There is definitely no shortage of money to buy land, and the local government is also very supportive.
The building is close to being paid for. How about you come and pay for the land to build it? It’s your asset anyway. Once it’s built, it can be rented to Jinshan.”
"Do you want to go public?" Fang Zhe asked directly to the root of the matter. If you don't want to go public, why do you want to go through this circle?
"There is traffic now, but the monetization channels are relatively single, only diverting traffic to game companies and a small amount of advertising. If it is not listed, you still have to invest money. If it is listed, enter the financing stage as soon as possible. Kingsoft's installed capacity reaches 1,500
It has 10,000 registered users and 10 million registered users. So far, no Internet company can match Kingsoft’s traffic volume.”
Rebus was full of confidence, and Fang Zhexin said that you only have such pride because you have never been imitated by a penguin.
"What kind of investors have come to the door?" Fang Zhe still asked directly to the root cause. Rebus had already expected this. If you can't see the connection, how can it still be Fang Zhe?
"There are several companies that are in the limelight, but the valuations they give are not high. The highest valuation is only 100 million US dollars and the lowest is 50 million US dollars. Generally speaking, the attitude of the management is the same. More users does not mean realization, and it is also
Let’s take the Internet bubble as an example.” When Rebus talked about this, his mood became a little lower, as if those investors didn’t know the goods.
"Haha, isn't this normal? Only real buyers think the goods are bad. They really want to invest. The problem is that if these funds come from overseas, they should be from Wall Street. According to my understanding of them, no
How can they be willing to eat when their mouths are full of oil? If the valuation is US$100 million, they will not be satisfied until the market value reaches US$2 billion after listing.”
Fang Zhe made the problem clear in one sentence. Wall Street capital is the most greedy. If it is an American company, the valuation given may be as high as two to three hundred million. Even if the company is still in a start-up stage, Wall Street capital will be greedy.
You've got a taste for it. It's your turn to develop to this size.
What Shanda pursues is profits that are at least ten times or even higher, especially as this is a domestic company with previous success stories. After Shanda’s performance in gaming made Wall Street investors led by Goldman Sachs make a lot of money, they
Domestic Internet companies and the hounds of Wall Street are naturally sniffing everywhere, and it is inevitable to focus on Jinshan.
The most important thing is that the domestic economy is developing rapidly, and the Internet industry is developing at an even more astonishing speed.
Rebus heard that Fang Zhe didn't have a good impression of Wall Street capital, but he still looked forward to persuading him: "This is a very helpless thing. If you want to develop, you can only raise funds from outside. At this stage, Kingsoft still has some funds.
, it sounds like there is no shortage of money. In fact, what is lacking is channels and resources. This is related to what kind of treatment will be received once it is listed. "
This was said very implicitly. It was actually a reminder to Fang Zhe that if you don’t accept financing, even if the operation is listed, how can you do it if people short-sell you? Fang Zhe couldn’t help laughing after hearing this: "Go to Hong Kong City to go public.
Well, no financing is allowed. If someone wants to go short, just go short. I can still support such an Internet company."
Rebus didn't expect this result. Now he understood that Fang Zhe just didn't want to raise funds.
Before Rebus could continue to speak, Fang Zhe had already continued: "Let's open a new section. If you copy it directly, let's call it Weibo. Based on the registered users in the past, we will make an app specifically and use the existing
You can log in with your account. Well, you are the CEO. If you think it is better to go public on the NASDAQ, then do what you want."
This time, Rebus felt uncomfortable. Fang Zhe had invested more than 100 million U.S. dollars in acquisition funds. If financing was raised, what would be the valuation? Isn't this obvious? The current venture capital investment valuation is only 100 million U.S. dollars.
At the very least, is it necessary to raise funds? Therefore, Rebus is also in a dilemma.
"Okay, I'll contact the venture capital again to see what valuation they can give. This is just preliminary contact now, and there should be no bottoming out." Rebus thought for a while and decided to think about it again.
Fang Zhi felt that he had nothing else to do, and when he was about to say goodbye, Rebus stopped him: "Wait a minute, an imitator of the Jinshan model has appeared. You should have heard of a person named Leader Zhou. He came back from abroad.
, it was also about security at the beginning. Now the Internet Computer Manager and Internet Assistant he has launched cannot be said to be exactly the same as Kingsoft's, but they can only be said to be half the same."
Fang Zhe's smile gradually solidified. He looked at Rebus and thought to himself: What's your surname, Little John?
Obviously not, Fang Zhe almost said: Tongliao is a unit of measurement to check the code.
"Don't look at me like this. The domestic Internet is now in the Warring States Period, chaotic and disorderly, with all kinds of phenomena happening. Let me tell you, it was you who opened Pandora's box and turned on the free security software mode, which triggered others to imitate
.The other party comes from a technical background and is quite unscrupulous. Even if he files a lawsuit, it will be difficult to solve the problem." Rebus explained, saying that it was not that he was incompetent, but that the current environment was like this.
Fang Zhe understood it completely. After all, he had the experience and knowledge of Nanshan Pizza Hut, so nothing strange happened.
"So, you are also a technical person, can you do this and embed a program in our software? Once the other party's software is found, the anti-virus system will judge the other party's software as a virus and completely remove it from the computer. Those that have not been installed
The computer that uses the other party's software will directly call the police and find that the virus is invading. Anyway, most of the people who use computers are not technical, so we can do whatever we want." Fang Zhe's shamelessness is really no one else's business, and Rebus feels that he is nothing compared to him.
Pure little white rabbit.
After falling into a brief moment of sluggishness, Rebus gritted his teeth decisively: "Yes, this method is fine. For the future of the company, I will take the blame." Fang Zhe smiled: "Also, establish good relations with the local authorities.
, don’t be afraid of spending money, the point is to ensure that once a lawsuit is filed, we will not lose. From my perspective, this is not a scapegoat, after all, the other party plagiarized first."
The Matthew Effect of the Internet industry determines that once a scale is formed first, it will be difficult for subsequent imitators to catch up. Unless the other party has a new way of playing, it is obvious that Master Zhou has no new way of playing, at least not by Rebus.
Discover.
"Well, that's it. Let's make it final. Do you really want to buy this land and build a building for an office? The company is developing very fast. The current office building is rented. If Weibo is launched after the Chinese New Year, the company's personnel
There will definitely be explosive growth. The existing office environment is definitely not enough, and we have to rent another place. Considering the long-term development, we still need to have our own headquarters building. This money can't be saved just by thinking about it.
"Yes." Rebus said earnestly.
Fang Zhe made a calculation in his mind. How much money would be needed to build a building now, including buying land?
"I'll arrange for someone to come and inspect it before we talk about it." You can't say anything for sure. Rebus really wants a headquarters building. But as for the specific requirements, Rebus didn't think about it carefully.
"If you decide to buy land and build a headquarters building, you have to say hello to me." Rebus was a little worried, or unwilling. Fang Zhe did not express his support for going public in the United States. After all, this was his first
Option. Fortunately, Fang Zhe did not refuse to list. It is not impossible to list in Hong Kong City.
"I know, I feel a little stupid for staying in the wilderness in this weather. Why did I fall into your trap?" Fang Zhe teased, and Rebus laughed and said, "This place is quite prosperous.
Yes, you can see residential buildings and other buildings before and after you look at it. If you don’t believe me, go to the south and take a look. Many places in the third ring road over there are rural areas.”
Fang Zhexin said, I still want you to tell me? In the future, the Imperial Capital South Station will be on that area. The land over there is really valuable, but demolition is very troublesome. If I remember correctly, even the high-speed rail has been opened to the Imperial Capital South Station.
There are many bungalows nearby.
After waving goodbye, Fang Zhe motioned to the driver to rush to Li Ping, seeing that his son visited him several times a year.
A message was sent in advance: [I am in the imperial capital, and I am going to see my son now.] Fang Zhe had no intention of making a surprise attack.
Li Ping quickly responded with a message: [Received, I’m at home, waiting for you.]
The place isn't too far, but it's not close either. It takes an hour to drive from here, and that's assuming there's no traffic.
It seems that traffic jams have begun to occur in the imperial capital in the past two years, but it is not too serious for the time being. After entering the second ring road, the traffic on the road became much denser, and the speed could not be increased. Looking at the two bodyguards in front, Fang Zhe was actually very worried.
Helpless. People want to make money when they have no money. When they have too much money and no freedom, they naturally become separated from ordinary people's lives.
The car stopped at the gate of the community. The security here was very good, and the inspection was quite strict. Without the driver getting out of the car, Li Shengli appeared at the door of the security room, waving to Fang Zhe's car, and the railings were raised.
Fang Zhe simply got out of the car first, signaled the driver to drive in, walked to Li Shengli and stretched out his hand: "Are you here too? You don't stay at home during the New Year, you run around." Li Shengli shook hands with him with a smile, and gave him a hug.
He then smiled and said, "I'm going to bring my wife and children to visit my sister to pay New Year greetings. Do I still need your approval?"
The two of them walked in with a smile, and each of them lit a cigarette. Only then did Fang Zhe notice that the driver had driven in, and another bodyguard also got out of the car, leisurely walking three steps behind.
"How is the business this year?" Fang Zhe said a casual greeting and started the chat mode.
"It's not bad. We took three pieces of land and a comprehensive plaza is almost ready. The other two pieces of land are office buildings."
Listening to the words, Fang Zhe understood the meaning behind his words and asked with a smile: "Have you thought about the investment model of the comprehensive plaza?"
"Yes, the comprehensive plaza in Songjiang was able to be built because there were no similar competitors. Now there are shopping malls everywhere. If we build a comprehensive plaza, how to introduce merchants will be a big problem." Li Shengli was somewhat asking for advice.
Meaning, Fang Zhe initially judged that he and Mr. Guo had differences in business philosophy.
"What do you mean, Young Master Guo?" Fang Zhe understood the situation calmly, and Li Shengli came down specially to wait for the meaning to be clear.
"He means free rent for the first two years. I don't think it's necessary at all." Li Shengli tried his best to hide his expression, but he still couldn't escape Fang Zhe's eyes. He was here to seek support.
"Is it because of the differences that occurred during the introduction of some big foreign brands?" Fang Zhe asked back, still smiling.
Li Shengli's eyes were rounded. After he stopped, he stared at Fang Zhe and asked, "Young Master Guo also came to see you?"
Fang Zhe shook his head: "No, this is all my guess. In fact, you agree with Mr. Guo's idea, but you are upset. Why should foreign companies settle in the square and give them free rent? Isn't that so?
Thought?"
Li Shengli nodded with a heavy expression: "Yes, that's what I think. Like the introduction of Starbucks, KFC, and some foreign luxury brands, Mr. Guo has enough connections there, and I can handle local troubles."
, and by the way, we also brought in some small shareholders and gave them the dry shares that should be given. Everything went smoothly, but I am very upset about this matter."
"It's understandable that you are influenced by me. But in business, I support Mr. Guo this time. His idea still makes sense. The current domestic atmosphere is like this. The root cause is lack of confidence. Comprehensive
Not confident. Foreign companies are favored in China, and if you want to introduce them, you have to provide preferential policies. From a business perspective, their presence means class and customer flow. In fact, you know very well, it is nothing more than
I'm not angry. Let me tell you, you need to be strong in order to make iron. Our country is still far behind developed countries. When our country's economy develops and reaches a certain size, the market will be big enough.
Sometimes, these brands will come back to you and beg you.”
When the two of them were talking and arrived not far from the villa, Li Zheng was already standing on the side of the road looking up. When he saw Fang Zhe and Li Shengli, Li Zheng ran quickly, and there was a boy who was smaller than him running behind him.
