Although it seems that he has finished all the scheduled business work for this trip to the capital, Wen Liang is not in a hurry to leave the capital.
Although the autumn in Beijing is quite bleak right now.
Although this and that.
but,
It's all here, right?
How could you not choose a good day to go see Laomiaotou?
Lao Miaotou is a good person. Maybe if he walks around more, he can become a big flag~
This is better than Lao Li Tou.
Of course, Wen Liang also has some other things to deal with, which are also business related.
Some are about Internet business, and some are about the company Bolang Terminal.
After all, the capital is a gathering place of resources. Although it is not a city with the strongest business atmosphere, almost all business matters can be solved here.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Sanshi and Shen Nanpeng, Wen Liang got into a taxi and went out for a walk.
I walked into Yu Cheng's home at around five o'clock in the evening.
With the old signs still around, the favors that need to be moved around still need to be maintained. Maybe someone will come to your door with a request in the future~
Reciprocity is a courtesy~
As before, Wen Liang paid a simple visit and gave away some ordinary cigarettes and wine, but did not stay for a meal.
When Wen Liang left, Yu Cheng's wife felt a little strange. She looked at Yu Cheng and asked doubtfully: "You seem to be particularly enthusiastic about this Wen Liang today?"
"In the past, when Wen Liang came to visit, although you were very enthusiastic, you still looked at the younger generation to some extent. It gave me the feeling that you were doing it for the sake of the old Li family."
"Today you are looking at him."
Yu Cheng was not surprised when the person next to him had such doubts. He smiled, looked back, and explained: "Because his status is different."
"Before, he had to rely on the old Li family's face to come to his door. Now he can rely on his own face if he wants to see Mr. Miao."
Yu Cheng's wife raised her eyebrows: "Is it so exaggerated?"
"It's more exaggerated than exaggerated. In the field of business, he made a fortune so fast that even colonial plunder can't match it." Yu Cheng sighed, "The Bolang now is completely different from the Bolang three months ago."
"I happen to know something about the affairs I'm in charge of. The unit has allocated many big projects to Bolang, and the first batch of funds has been allocated 900 million yuan. It is estimated that I will have to visit him this time next year."
Yu Cheng’s wife was completely stunned: “No way!”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until this time next year." Yu Cheng said with a sigh on his face, turned around and went back to the house.
Although his rank has not changed, his position has been slightly adjusted recently.
Originally, Yu Cheng thought it was related to Lao Li's family.
Later, Yu Cheng gradually discovered that it might be related to Wen Liang, because he was the junior manager of some projects involving Bolang Terminal.
This possibility made Yu Cheng re-examine himself and Bolang.
And when Wen Liang made some noise during his visit to the capital this time, but quickly took the initiative to visit him, Yu Cheng naturally showed a true and enthusiastic attitude.
Of course his wife understands.
Anyway, we have been getting along day and night for decades.
Of course Wen Liang didn't know about the incident that happened in front of Yu Cheng's house.
After a simple visit to Yu Cheng in accordance with the management, Wen Liang quickly returned to the hotel, had dinner with Li Xia and the others, and then went back to his room to rest.
Occasionally when he goes to a city, he becomes a little acclimatized.
Such as right now.
Wen Liang is also an ordinary person, and the solution is simple, get more rest.
…………
The next day, Li Xia and her colleagues from the corporate development department went out and were busy for almost a whole day.
On the same day, Wang Wanyu rushed to Shanghai.
After relatively complicated negotiations and sorting out, the final solution to the acquisition of Shanda Literature was: Bolang Group sent a management team to Shanda Literature to complete the company's reorganization.
The shares held by the founders of the original major brands were repurchased, and Bolang Group took over management.
Leaving behind what is known as the most professional editorial team in the industry.
A very few editors were unwilling to stay, and Bolang did not do much to persuade them to stay.
At the same time, Liu Nian... also known as "Powan" was dispatched to the original Shanda Literature to cooperate with the management team to complete the company's reorganization and cooperate with the management team to inject Bolang's corporate culture.
To put it simply, it means giving Bolang the best benefits in the industry.
This is also Bolang’s common practice for all companies that invest in and acquire companies as a whole.
In one word, inject soul.
With grassroots employees, Bolang never talks about nothing, only about money.
If you can't do a good job talking about money, that's easy, please go elsewhere.
Another day later, Wang Wanyu signed a cooperation framework with Shanda on behalf of Bolang, and the name Shanda Literature will disappear from now on.
Then Wang Wanyu spoke to the employees of PPS Audio and Video on behalf of Bolang, and the name PPS Audio and Video will disappear from now on.
The original names of other small companies in live broadcast, animation, music, games, etc. will also disappear.
To complete these investment and mergers, Bolang will need to spend a total of about 12.5 billion in cash.
Of course, including the 4.02 billion that was negotiated last month but has not yet been delivered, the largest M&A expenditure is 4 billion from Shanda Literature, and the rest, around 4.5 billion, was spent on various investments and mergers.
However, in addition to the established 4.02 billion, only 1 billion from Shanda Literature and 2.5 billion from other parts of the business were actually completed.
The total is 7.52 billion.
When the cash flow peaked last month at more than 16 billion, Wen Liang asked Wang Wanyu to make a financial plan.
There is something I can't stop doing here, well... the math genius did some trivial work and helped the company develop a relatively easy-to-use financial model and risk control model.
It is said that she also proposed that based on the integrated financial services that have been gradually implemented, a centralized payment center can be established, with the help of big data and artificial intelligence, to establish an agile management system.
Her name is Zheng Qi.
Non-staff personnel belonging to the Enterprise Development Department.
God knows how Wen Liang knew this thing could be used in this way.
…
Later, Wen Liang initiated an online meeting, and except for Li Ze and Xin Dai, who had not yet returned from abroad, all key management personnel including Lin Hong, who had returned to China, were brought into the meeting.
"One thing is that after more than 40 days of investment and acquisitions, we have initially built the company's Internet business map, and the large social ecological layout has been initially completed. In order to facilitate management, we need to sort out the organizational structure of the entire Internet business."
“Everyone is welcome to give your opinions.”
Then, Wen Liang took the initiative to call his name: "Manager Zhou, you are responsible for the relevant business perspective. Please tell me your views first."
Zhou Hongming's voice soon came out: "My personal idea is to learn from the industry's common methods and form an interactive entertainment business group to integrate various businesses in the form of a platform."
Chen Jiaxin raised objections: "This is equivalent to the size of a group, and there may be chaos in the management structure. The number of employees in this part of the business is close to 10,000."
That's right.
Bolang has been expanding, but except for the initial radical expansion to solve the problem of R&D manpower, it has been an overall controllable and orderly expansion since then.
The reason why the Internet business platform alone has nearly 10,000 employees is because of investments and mergers.
Investment and mergers and acquisitions such as PPS Audio and Video, Shanda Literature, etc. are almost all packaged mergers and acquisitions.
For lower-level employees, it is almost like changing a big boss, and at most they will lose a few familiar senior executives.
Except for the Bolang Terminal subsidiary, all other businesses of the Bolang Group are Internet business platforms.
In fact, the number of employees at Bolang Terminal is not large, less than 400 so far.
Because some key research is managed under the name of Bolang Laboratory.
In addition, in addition to the employees under the overall management of the group's R&D department and the Bolang laboratory, the entire group has less than 80 development engineers, but there are employees responsible for technical positions, such as operation and maintenance, network, etc.
Taken together, including the companies it invests in and acquires, the total number of formal employees of Bolang Group is only over 13,400.
Of the more than 4,000 additional people, about 90% are employees of Bolang Laboratory and the group's R&D department.
Afterwards, everyone at the meeting put forward their opinions one after another. Some were inclined to Zhou Hongming's opinions, while others agreed with Chen Jiaxin's opinions.
Wen Liang referred to the information compiled by Li Xia and Wang Wanyu, listened to everyone's opinions, and made a comprehensive decision.
"What everyone said makes sense. Based on everyone's opinions, I decided to establish the group's first ecosystem: the application of the Internet."
"Coordinate and manage all the company's existing Internet-based businesses."
"Establish five platforms: social networking, gaming, audio-visual, e-commerce, and cloud."
“The audio-visual platform will include five subsidiaries: Orange Video, Orange Literature, Orange Animation, Orange Music, and Orange Live Broadcast.” ①
"The game platform will include the independently operated Guofeng Studio, Orange Games which was reorganized through investment, mergers and acquisitions, and partially-owned companies such as Letitong and MiHoYo."
"The cloud platform will establish a new subsidiary called 'Nebula Xyun'."
"The e-commerce platform will include Hotsale Mall, Huipay, and the newly invested and acquired Chengzi Logistics."
“The social platform will include companies such as Bolang Xiaocheng, Massive Value, partially-owned Xinweibo, and Zidiao.”
"At the same time, the group's R&D department will gradually be dispersed to various subsidiaries and businesses. Mr. Yang is responsible for the overall arrangement of internal human resources and steadily expanding the scale of R&D personnel. Investment and mergers and acquisitions are just the beginning. The future development of related businesses depends on what everyone can do.
To that point.”
After announcing these arrangements, Wen Liang continued: "The overall organizational structure adjustment of the group will begin at the end of next month and is planned to be completed before the year. Mr. Yang is asked to take the lead in making relevant preparations."
"In addition, Xin Dai, Chen Jiaxin, and Tang Pu were appointed as co-CEOs of the applied Internet ecosystem, and Li Bowen was appointed as CTO of the applied Internet ecosystem and technical manager of Bolang Laboratory. The appointments are effective immediately."
The meeting ended here.
The final announcement of the appointment made it clear to everyone in the meeting that the candidate who will be promoted to the vice president of the group at the end of this quarter has been finalized as Xin Dai, although Xin Dai did not attend this meeting.
In this regard, Lin Hong, the most thoughtful person, had no idea at all.
His specialty is law, not more complex administrative management. Even if he was promoted to vice president, he wouldn't be able to do it.
The main thing is that salary and benefits are not only based on the job title, but also on the rank and business performance.
Given Bolang's current scale, if there isn't too much legal business, it might even be nicknamed "Yangcheng Invincible Hand".
All in all, all in all.
After this round of large-scale investment and mergers and acquisitions, all mobile Internet applications that have appeared so far, except for some more tricky ones, have either been directly acquired by Bolang and become subsidiaries, or they have invested in shares and obtained the application source of the so-called mobile application ecosystem.
.
In the domestic market, as of now, only White Goose holds the two key social networking applications QQ and WeChat, as well as the key shopping platform applications of Alibaba and JD.com. Bolang has not intervened through capital means.
However, Bolang has its flagship similar products in both aspects.
Xiaocheng Book and Hot Sale Mall.
Moreover, Wen Liang himself has maintained good business cooperation with the top management of White Goose, and it is not difficult to coordinate White Goose to launch the Star Platform application.
JD.com also has a solution.
As for the rest, it is one of Wen Liang's reasons for staying in the capital -
①: I’m lazy and don’t want to name them one by one. I’ll start with the orange video I mentioned several times before.
