Different from when they arrived, Wang Wanyu and Li Ze both got into the Mercedes-Benz driven by Wan An with Wen Liang.
In the car, Wen Liang frowned.
Chatting with these old foxes consumed a lot of his energy.
These old foxes are very good at keeping things under wraps in small talk.
Wen Liang couldn't just ignore these small talk.
Li Ze, who was sitting in the back row, looked at Wen Liang's actions, sighed in his heart, and said with some regret: "We still don't work hard enough."
He is not stupid...
Although he didn't say a word during the whole process, he knew very well that Liu Chiping's game was a bit high-end for the current Bolang.
Hearing this, Wen Liang said in a calm tone: "Every mountain is higher than the other. Society is not independent. Balancing interests is an unavoidable problem."
Wang Wanyu, who was in the front row, added: "Without Liu Chiping, there will be Li Chiping and Wang Chiping who will appear when necessary to form a situation that is more beneficial to them for their benefit."
Then he added: "But Mr. Ze is right. The overall development of Bolang is not high enough, which is a bit holding back Mr. Wen. Of course, this is also the purpose of Mr. Wen spending time to use the decline of Weibo to set rules."
She has experienced more and can understand today's situation better.
Gentle response is beyond the framework of Bolang.
Every action and every word can be said appropriately. When it is necessary to be hypocritical, it will be hypocritical. When it is necessary to have rules, it will be rules.
You must know that capital giants such as Hillhouse and Sequoia are simply crushing the current Bolang.
Fortunately, with Bolang's past achievements there, Wen Liang still has some room to maneuver.
"Without Bo Lang, I wouldn't have the basis to speak." Wen Liang waved his hand and said in a casual tone, "Capital hopes to be the icing on the cake that seems to provide help in times of need, and will often use the big to suppress the small."
“What I don’t understand now is why Liu Chiping brought Xu Xin from Capital Today over.”
"Xu Xin is the most suitable investor for Bolang at this stage."
Li Ze couldn't understand it even more, but he knew the information about these people very well, and analyzed: "With Xu Xin's status in the venture capital circle, he can barely do it. Maybe Goose Factory and Capital Today have some kind of tacit understanding?"
Wang Wanyu also gave her opinion: "Judging from Xu Xin's fortune history, she has a good vision and chose the right time to invest in large companies like NetEase and JD.com. There may be some kind of exchange."
"For example, Goose Factory wants to move their e-commerce business that is currently half-dead."
Wen Liang had thought this before and said: "I thought so at first, but there may be other reasons. In the capital game, the comparison is the scale of capital and the abundance of resources. In this game, Xu Xin's trump card is too different.
.”
Li Ze suddenly realized: "No wonder you temporarily added some conditions and set aside time. You hope Xu Xin can come to the table and try to balance it out."
Both Wang Wanyu and Li Ze knew that the most difficult part of this meeting was the small talk, and the easiest part was setting the rules at the end, because Wen Liang had the greatest initiative in this step.
Then, Li Ze said again: "I hope I can kill four soldiers with one peach."
"At this time, Mr. Ze, you should say that we can always trust Mr. Wen." Wang Wanyu suddenly said seriously.
Li Ze: "...You can say that, but it makes us even more incompetent."
Wen Liang interjected casually: "It doesn't matter. The reason for being on Weibo is to be confident in dealing with any capital institution. In fact, what makes me most unhappy is that most of the money taken by any capital institution is foreign.
"
Today, foreign capital accounts for the majority of capital management funds.
Hillhouse and Sequoia are old foreign money and new foreign money.
Goose Factory is also a mess with many foreign institutions holding shares.
In later terms, these were all compradors.
Wang Wanyu's thoughts changed for a moment: "This problem can only be solved by you. I believe you will have a solution in the future."
Wen Liang didn't think much about it and just said: "Let's take a look. It would be a good result to use the interests of the Internet business of Xiaocheng Book as a bargaining chip in exchange for the convenient development of the real core business."
This sentence points out a very important thing.
This is the premise for Wen Liang to put forward those so-called conditions. Spinning off Xiaochengshu to establish an independent company for financing is Wen Liang’s biggest condition!
In other words, Wen Liang immediately achieved the highest goal as soon as the formal negotiations began.
Wang Wanyu didn't say much more. Her belief in certain aspects of Wen Liang was very clear.
Wen Liang does not want Bolang to become a white goose. In the end, most of the profits of a company like Ali will flow abroad.
Even Internet businesses like Xiaocheng Book are the same.
However, the environment was like this, so Wen Liang chose to settle for the next best thing, find a way to set a rule, and try his best to limit the capital to the category of Bolang's "chamber pot".
What Wen Liang proposed is that you can use money in exchange for a small portion of my economic benefits, and everything else is up to me.
…………
…………
A little later, around 4 p.m.
Room 716, Silver Gray Building.
All the co-founders of Bolang gathered together.
Including Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng who have been busy in the school laboratory for a long time.
This office, where Bolang Dream started, has always served as an important place in Bolang's development to this day.
Wen Liang leaned on the desk in front of the window and looked over one by one.
The mental outlook of the 11 people sitting or standing is obviously different from before.
They are still the same people, it doesn't mean they have grown up in an exaggerated way, but their energy and spirit are very different at first glance.
Executive Chen Jiaxin is no longer as graceful as before.
He can always arrange the company's administrative affairs quietly and properly, and all aspects have the indispensable mark of the administrative department.
Not to mention Li Ze, who leads the operation of various Internet businesses and directly drives the rapid development of the company's business under Wen Liang's guidance.
I also had a back-and-forth fight with Mr. Jia.
Finance Wang Wanyu is an elite in the workplace, and her existence ensures that the company always has money for development.
She was the one who took charge of some big things.
The operation and maintenance of Tangpu is also good, ensuring the normal operation of all the company's networked businesses.
Li Bowen, who is about to step down as product manager, has grown up and learned how to decompose tasks technically through administrative work.
R&D Sun Baoyin can always divide all development tasks into appropriate modules.
Wang Zhiyi and Zhao Mingjie’s in-depth exploration in the field of algorithms has helped many businesses to improve and develop, making users more willing to stay in Bolang’s networking business.
Zhao Mingjie also learned numerical planning from Professor Chang and trained the numerical planning team of Guofeng Studio.
Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng don’t say much. Their research directions directly define the future shape of the company.
Not to mention Wen Liang, as the soul of Bolang, he led everyone on a unique development path.
The spiritual outlook of 11 people best explains 'faith is hope'.
Withdrawing his gaze, Wen Liang looked calm and said in a relaxed tone: "Originally, I wanted to pay attention to a sense of ceremony and wait until the quarterly summary meeting tomorrow before making quarterly dividends. However, we have made a preliminary negotiation with the capital, so we will distribute a penny by the way."
After saying that, Wen Liang looked at Li Ze with a smile.
When it comes to dividing money, it naturally involves business summary. You have to know which businesses make money, which businesses invest money, and how much money you have, so that you can determine how much to divide.
As usual, Li Ze reported on the business operation summary: "The development situation of the three major Internet businesses of Xiaocheng Book, Hot Shopping Mall, and Mobile Games in the second quarter is very gratifying, and they have achieved very good results."
"Since April, mobile games have become a key internal development business, and Guofeng Studio has been established. The current average daily turnover of the studio is around 3 million."
This contains one of the few leaks about the game "Journey of Glory".
Since "Journey of Glory" officially switched from a deleted closed beta to a non-deleted closed beta at 4 p.m. on June 8, it has gradually started to flow.
However, the development of this game is still in rounds of closed beta without deleting files, and it has never been converted into a public beta.
On the contrary, the vitality of this game is getting stronger and stronger, and its reputation among players has gradually increased.
It has even driven the development of ‘Application King’, a small business that has not been taken seriously for the time being.
However, it is only a slight improvement. Not to mention compared with 91 Assistant and Wandoujia, there is still a certain gap with some slightly bigger distribution channels.
Li Ze continued in a coherent manner: "Our hot-selling mall is different from Alibaba and JD.com. Now it only operates third-party B2C business. The merchant who opens the store must be an enterprise. The hot-selling mall charges a fixed platform fee and a 6% commission."
"Currently, there are more than 5,000 merchants settled in the store, and as of today, the average daily transaction volume is more than 26 million. The situation is a bit unsatisfactory."
“According to incomplete statistics, Tmall’s average daily transaction volume is 500 million, and JD’s average daily transaction volume is 160 million.”①
In terms of hot-selling malls, Bolang is indeed in the stage of offering discounts.
Although according to statistics, the commission attributed to the platform this month is more than 40 million, but this amount is not enough to invest in infrastructure including back-end server resources, let alone other operating expenses.
Now he is a loser.
Whether we can gain market share in the future depends mainly on luck, and secondly on money.
The internal logic of Alibaba and JD.com not paying attention to Bolang's hot-selling mall is very simple. The development systems of these two companies are already as stable as Mount Tai, and launching competition will not bring more benefits, so it is unnecessary.
In contrast, Weibo has always been obsessed with Xiaocheng Shu, and now it is in rapid decline because it does not have a stable business model.
Just like WeChat is still staring at Xiaocheng Book, because WeChat has not yet reached the stage of stable development.
When Wen Liang saw the situation after his rebirth, he immediately chose to intervene in the Xiaocheng Book mode because he knew that as soon as 2012 passed, the public social network would be dominated by Weibo.
After talking about the hot-selling mall, Li Ze focused on Xiaocheng Book: "After the No. 6 [massive value] platform was launched, Xiaocheng Book's advertising business revenue increased significantly, far exceeding that of its peers, and it has completely established itself as the leading small and medium-sized advertising company on the Internet.
Location!"
One sentence is enough.
The applause rang out.
Everyone is excited that the company is developing so well.
Then Tang Pu made a brief operation and maintenance report: "The company's self-built computer room was delivered at the end of May. It was put into use after running smoothly at full load for 7 days without faults. On June 1st, the hot-selling mall for the Internet business was arranged.
① The computer room was put online and has been running smoothly so far;
The self-built ② computer room and ③ computer room are initially delivered and will be officially delivered on July 2. It will be put into use after running at full load for 7 days without any faults. At that time, the company's important networking business will be gradually moved to the self-built computer room.
The self-compiled ④, ⑤, and ⑥ computer rooms have also entered the installation and implementation stage and are expected to be put into use in mid-August.”
"The self-built data center group has initially finalized an address, Nansha."
The purpose of this report is very simple, to tell Wen Liang Company about its investment in networking business infrastructure.
The company is developing dynamically, and there must be a reference for key areas of spending money.
In addition, no one needs to report.
So, naturally, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Wanyu, the company's god of wealth.
Wang Wanyu was already prepared, picked up a document and opened it... -
①: The data comes from external news from JD.com’s 2012 annual summary meeting. The annual transaction volume was 60 billion. Some financial media reports on relevant data in 2012 stated that Tmall’s transaction volume in 2012 was 200 billion.
