Cao Mo sat down to meet with local entrepreneurs in Chonghai and talked about some topics about Chonghai's industrial development. It was soon ten o'clock. Chen Wei, deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, reminded Shan Zeming that he still had work tomorrow morning.
This meeting is finally over.
After seeing Shan Zeming off the hotel, Cao Mo turned around and walked back to the lobby with Xiao Jun and Yang Xu.
Qi Yimin stood in front of the hotel, waiting for the driver to drive over from the parking lot. He looked at Cao Mo striding towards the lobby, frowned and asked his son Qi Tongwei:
"What happened just now?"
"What's the matter? I thought it was an insignificant person?" Qi Tongwei wanted to save face and was unwilling to tell the whole story easily.
"If there was nothing else, you wouldn't be so stupid!" Qi Yimin said with a sharp look. The driver drove over and he was not busy getting in the car.
"Didn't I also set up a game company some time ago? I was short of manpower, so I poached a few people from the company named Yang. Who knew that I would miss this grandson!" Qi Tongwei curled his lips and said arrogantly.
"Is it really that simple?" Now that Qi Yimin was sure that Cao Mo's actions just now were not unintentional, and with his understanding of his son, he didn't think it was really that simple.
"What else can he do to prevent his employees from changing jobs by opening a company? I didn't tie people up - apart from this, I just imitated their game and made a new game online. This grandson
They even threatened to call the police, saying that we had stolen their code. Skin-picking is too common in this industry. If they want to sue, they must have evidence!" Qi Tongwei said nonchalantly, "I confirmed it with a few people who poached me.
Come here, Yun Bo doesn’t have conclusive evidence, otherwise he would have called the police long ago and wouldn’t have waited until today!”
Qi Yimin frowned.
"Mr. Qi, why haven't you left yet?" Shen Tonghe, the boss of Tonghe Cable, forgot the lighter in the box. Now he took the lighter and walked out of the lobby. He saw Qi Yimin, Qi Tongwei and his son still standing at the hotel door.
He said hello in the square in front of him.
"Mr. Shen, do you know Tianyue very well?"
Qi Yimin didn't know whether Shen Tonghe's words describing Tianyue's investment during the dinner were intentional echoes to please Shan Zeming.
Even when Shan Zeming said during the dinner that Tianyue would invest in two projects in Chonghai, he didn't know if there was any official exaggeration in it.
When he saw Shen Tonghe at this time, of course he had to ask more questions.
"I only have a general understanding of Tianyue, mainly because I won the 33 kV cable general contract of Cornero Energy in Benin at the beginning of the year," Shen Tonghe glanced at Qi Tongwei and said to Qi Yimin
, "Conero Energy is a holding subsidiary of the listed company Tianyue Industrial. There may not be many public reports in the country, but the information can still be found. However, the information that can be found in the country is far from enough to explain Tianyue's
The strength of West Africa - in short, Tianyue is much bigger than Tonghe, Tianqi may not be very good compared with Tianyue, and Tianyue can gain a foothold in such a chaotic Africa, which should be very outstanding.
…”
The worst thing to do is to talk briefly and talk deeply. Shen Tonghe didn't know what kind of madness Qi Tongwei had before at the table, so how could he possibly speak too clearly?
Qi Yimin hesitated for a while, then decided to tell the truth: "Tong Wei started a game company some time ago. He was eager for quick success and quick success. He hired a few key players from Yunbo Games and imitated the web game General produced by Yunbo.
I made a similar game - of course, there may be some other frictions. This stupid guy doesn't know what it means to be too high-end, and even if he makes trouble for me, he still doesn't tell the truth when he talks to me."
"..." Shen Tonghe glanced at Qi Tongwei again and said to Shen Tonghe, "Cao Mo is so young and developing in Africa, a place he is unfamiliar with, it is inevitable to be despised. I heard that there are even Chinese businessmen who have come to Africa to develop. , many of them had fierce competition with him, but it seemed that Cao Mo had the last laugh - by the way, the listed company Tianyue Industrial was not called this name before, but it was changed to this name after it fell under Cao Mo's control. Name, have you heard of it?"
"What was your previous name?" Qi Yimin was startled. There are more than a thousand listed companies across the country, how could he remember so many?
"It used to be called Taihua Group. It was a listed company in Xinhai. It was very large. Its market value once exceeded tens of billions. It was stronger than Tonghe and Tianqi. The major shareholders were Lu Jiancheng and brothers Lu Jianchao in 2007. They were even on the Hurun Rich List, but they failed to survive in 2008. I heard that they had a fierce fight with Cao Mo before, and in the end even the company fell into the hands of the opponent. It was really miserable!" said Shen Tonghe.
"With such a powerful character, Mr. Shen still dares to do business with him?" Qi Yimin asked.
"Tianyue is doing business seriously. I haven't heard any negative rumors. Why doesn't Tonghe dare to cooperate with Tianyue? We took over Tianyue's cable general contracting project overseas. Before shipping, Tianyue directly The cash has been transferred to our account." Shen Tonghe looked at his watch and said, "Ah, it's getting late, I won't bother you anymore, I'm going back first, let's make an appointment for a card game sometime!"
"Okay!" Qi Yimin stepped forward to help Shen Tonghe open the car door as a reward for his words.
"Now that you know what the sky is high, what else do you want to say, and what else have you not said?" Qi Yimin stared at his son with sharp eyes, and reprimanded in a low voice, "Do you think you can cover the sky with one hand in Chonghai? ?”
"I originally wanted to invest in Yunbo, but Yang didn't agree to my conditions, so I... In addition to poaching people, I also found a few hackers to attack their game servers in the past two months. You I saw that girl named Li Yao before, who was my girlfriend named Yang..." Qi Tongwei stammered.
"Get in the car!" Qi Yimin kicked him in anger.
…………
…………
After Cheng Xi and the others had eaten, they chatted in the executive lounge. Cao Mo, Xiao Jun, and Yang Xu also took the elevator to the executive lounge and sat down after seeing Shan Zeming off.
Cao Mo didn't want Yang Xu to open the stall soon after getting the funds.
In any field, 30 million yuan is really nothing. If you really need to recruit people and buy horses to spread the business, you may spend all the money in three to five months, but nothing will be done.
Cao Mo thought that Yang Xu would use the money to develop and operate the web game version of General well in the early stage, and to better build Yunbo's development team. This would be considered quite successful.
Although Cao Mo is not very addicted to games in Africa, like Xiao Jun and Lu Junbo, he grew up in the post-2000 generation and his understanding of games can be said to be that of a semi-senior player.
Xiao Jun and Lu Junbo also took the time to try out Generals today, and they were very topical when they sat down and talked about the game.
"..." Seeing Xiao Jun, Yu Wenwei and the others sitting opposite, Cao Mo turned around and saw Qi Yimin walking from the elevator.
Cao Mo did not move, and signaled Lu Junbo to give up his seat to Qi Yimin, and asked with a smile: "It's so late, Mr. Qi hasn't left yet?"
"Tong Wei did something very unethical. I drove him back. His apology was insignificant in front of Mr. Cao - but I will ask him to shut down the game company immediately, no, tomorrow, and clear out the company."
Tianqi Group will fully compensate all employees for the economic losses incurred by Yunbo during this period," Qi Yimin said.
"It's better to stop that game of Green Sky - otherwise, even if we don't mention it, Secretary Shan will know that there are only a few game production companies in Chonghai and they are plagiarizing each other. It's really not good-looking, isn't it?"
Mo said, "As for other things, I can't make any good suggestions, and it's not convenient for me to mention them, let alone compensation. We haven't gone through legal procedures, so what basis do we have to ask Tianqi for compensation? It doesn't make sense...
…”
Cao Mo felt that he was not qualified to ask Yang Xu to put aside his personal grudge with Qi Tongwei, but in business negotiations, the Qi family and his son shut down the skin-picking game and stopped engaging in other small tricks. He would not interfere in company-level matters again.
of.
This is his code of conduct. As for whether he believes it or not, that is up to Qi Yimin.
Qi Yimin was of course doubtful of Cao Mo's words.
However, he came to express his position, and there will be concrete actions in the follow-up. At least they will erase all the legal flaws and wrongdoings they may have. If there are any disputes in the future, it will only appear that Cao Mo is too arrogant.
Being aggressive, Tianqi Group and Qi Family will not be too passive in Chonghai.
After all, there are still more rules in China than in Africa. Tianqi Group does not have no influence at all in China and is like a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.
"Mr. Cao can be so magnanimous. I'm really ashamed of Qi. I will definitely deal with Tong Wei. He really went too far this time." Qi Yimin expressed his stance and stood up to leave without lingering.
"Mr. Qi, walk slowly." Cao Mo stood up to see him off.
Watching Qi Yimin enter the elevator, Cao Mo said to Yang Xu: "Let's stop the matters at the company level. Yun Bo really wants to take legal channels, and he can't afford the time - Yun Bo wants to fight in the gaming industry, and every day
We can only move forward every moment..."
Yang Xu is not a young man just starting out, so there is no way he can't overcome such a simple hurdle.
Of course he knew that only by making Yunbo bigger and bigger, and being able to stand tall in front of the Qi family and his son without relying on Cao Mo, would he be truly proud and proud, and then all the old things would truly become a thing of the past.
The light clouds faded.
…………
…………
Cao Mo stayed in Chonghai for two days, and then went to Chonghai several times, mainly to personally follow up on the follow-up vehicle technology development and manufacturing projects to be negotiated in Chonghai.
Under Shan Zeming's promotion, Chonghai provided very active cooperation from the municipal government to major industrial parks.
Tianyue is the absolute leader in the R&D testing center and production base. Even if there are some minor problems, they can be easily adjusted afterwards.
Zheng Jinyuan still wanted to fully tap the research resources of Chonghai University, and wanted to establish a joint laboratory with Chonghai University for industry-university-research cooperation.
This involves complex personnel selection issues.
The professor candidates recommended by Chonghai University will have a cooperative relationship with Tianyue in the future and will not be too restricted by Tianyue.
If you make the wrong mistake at the beginning, you will inevitably take some detours and may even destroy the foundation of cooperation with Chonghai University.
There are more or less problems in domestic academic circles. Cao Mo stayed in Chonghai mainly to meet with scholars and professors from Chonghai University in the fields of motor drive systems, power batteries, new materials, intelligent control, etc.
Qualified candidates are directly eliminated in advance, and as many young and powerful collaborators as possible who have potential in the field of academic research are selected for key investment.
Using the right people is the biggest key to the success of many companies within the Tianyue system.
Of course, Cao Mo would not miss out on the most important expansion step of Tianyue Industry and Carmaker.
With unimaginable efficiency, we negotiated a cooperation agreement with relevant parties in Chonghai City already after the New Year's Day holiday in 2010.
At this time, Xinhai University finally agreed to let Zheng Chunyuan leave.
Of course, this is also predicated on the signing of a series of industry-university-research cooperation agreements between Carmaker, Tianyue Industry and Xinhai University.
But it was the capital injection into Yunbo. At the suggestion of Cheng Xi’s mother, Yang Lifang, it was finally carried out in the name of Muxiang Capital; Cheng Xi held the title of director in Yunbo on behalf of Muxiang Capital, and usually paid more attention to Yunbo’s game development.
That's it for manufacturing and operations matters.
Cao Mo naturally obeyed everything his mother-in-law said.
After confirming Muxiang Capital as a family asset and isolating risks from Tianyue, Cao Mo also planned to inject two to three or three to five billion into Muxiang every year.
Qi Yimin kept his promise, shutting down the Lutian skin-picking game, and relieved Zhang Jun, Gu Xiaoping and several other developers who had been poached from Yunbo, and no longer did any small tricks behind the scenes.
After Yang Xu received the funds, he concentrated on testing the new copy, updated the latest version of the game before New Year's Day, increased investment in operations, and key indicators such as daily activity and turnover quickly returned to above the previous average level.
In the next step, in addition to further optimizing the game General and developing follow-up content, with new capital injection, Yang Xu may also expand the production and development team and officially start the development of the mobile game version of "General" based on third-generation mobile communication technology.
Development work.
China only officially issued 3G licenses at the end of 2008, and domestic mobile phone software development engineers based on Apple's IOS operating system are still very scarce. In addition to Apple's IOS operating system, Motorola and Nokia have launched third-generation mobile communication technologies with different basics.
operating system, corresponding domestic mobile phone software developers are even scarcer.
For now, with limited funds, Yunbo can only try to develop the IOS version of the General mobile game.
The main reason why Qi Tongwei intervened is that the web game version of "General" has extremely promising profit prospects. Now that Qi Tongwei is not in the way, the operation of the web game version of "General" has returned to normal, and new content is constantly being developed and updated, so profits will not be lost.
What's the problem?
Of course, apart from owning the company Yunbo, Yang Xu's personal financial situation is actually quite difficult, but Cao Mo suggested that the profits generated by Yunbo should be continuously invested in the development of the company itself.
If Yang Xu wants to solve his personal financial difficulties, he can sell a small amount of shares.
Muxiang Capital is currently investing in Yunbo as an angel round, and Yunbo cannot digest a large amount of funds in a short period of time. Therefore, Dongjiang Securities’ entertainment industry investment and even Qian Wenhan, Dongsheng’s Hexi Fund are willing to invest in Yunbo.
This new field is advancing and retreating together with Cao Mo. It is the most appropriate way to participate in this new field by indirectly acquiring a small share of the shares from Yang Xu and other development and production team members at the same valuation.
In this way, it is more justifiable for them to provide cooperation and assistance with some related resources in Xinhai.
Once Yunbo's development, production and operations teams are stabilized, and the development of the mobile game version of "General" can begin, everyone can then enter into a formal, larger-scale Series A investment.
In the end, Yang Xu and several core team members who had always followed him sold a total of 15% of Yunbo's shares to Dongjiang Securities, Sun Hung Investments and Hexi Fund, in exchange for 15 million in cash to improve the current miserable situation.
Living conditions; Xiao Jun was also optimistic about Yunbo's development. At Cao Mo's suggestion, he personally invested two million and took 2% of Yunbo's shares.
After New Year's Day, Tianyue Industrial also officially issued an announcement, preparing to submit an application to the shareholders' meeting and apply to the securities regulatory department. It plans to issue new shares to Dongsheng Group and Tianyue Investment at a certain premium and acquire palm oil refining and cocoa butter powder.
Processing and import and export trade and other businesses.
Tianyue Industrial also issued an announcement, claiming that it will directly add a steel affairs department, and plans to invest US$200 million to build a new one-million-ton steel plant in Cotonou, Benin. It plans to invest US$50 million to build a new steel plant in Cotonou, Benin.
A new chemical pump equipment factory.
Of course, Tianyue Industrial's stock applied for a trading suspension before the announcement was made, and no news was leaked before, so there was no change in the stock price.
Cao Fangming was very excited.
Cao Mo attended the signing ceremony of the joint laboratory between Carmaker and Chonghai University. When he returned to Xinhai's home, he heard his brother-in-law's voice before he even entered the door.
Cao Mo pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, and saw his brother-in-law approaching eagerly.
"It's so cold!" Cao Mo would not admit that when he was riding back to Xinhai, he held his hand in Song Yuqing's arms for a long time, rubbing his hands until Leng entered the room.
"There won't be any trouble with Tianyue Industrial's private placement this time, right?" Cao Fangming asked cautiously.
"What are you talking about?" Cao Mo asked, pretending to be confused, "Are you saying whether the private placement plan will be approved? Who can say this! We have given such a high premium in this plan, which is quite significant.
With great sincerity, there should be no problem in passing it at the shareholders’ meeting, but it’s hard to tell from the securities regulatory authorities...”
"The premium of this private placement plan is so high. Do you think it is normal for Tianyue Industrial's stock price to be so high? After the resumption of trading, the stock price should normally rise to at least this high, right?"
In the final analysis, Cao Fangming doesn't care whether the fixed increase can pass. What he is directly concerned about is the trapped stock price. If it can rise to the fixed increase price, he will be out of the trap, and the suffering of these six months will be over.
"It still depends on whether the market recognizes it or not. What we say doesn't count -" Cao Mo still said ambiguously.
Cao Fangming scratched his head, but there was nothing he could do about Cao Mo...
