Chapter 7 [Heart Attack Battle]
.I smiled. Jiao Wangcheng tried his best to play the role of a mature businessman, but in fact he had completely shown his confidence in his words. He was still far from being a qualified negotiator in the mall.
I waved my hand and said, "Let me do not say this for now. Let Hu Zhi tell you about it. Hu Zhi is the general manager of our company. If the acquisition is agreed with you, he will be your most direct leader."
Suddenly, the eleven people were like a blowout, chattering. After a long time, Dai Wangcheng said a little disappointed, "So you are not the boss?"
Hu Zhi smiled, "Shi Chen's largest shareholder, that is, the chairman. I am just a working person and serve as the general manager."
Only then did they calm down. They probably thought I was Hu Zhi's subordinate just now, so they all burst into trouble.
"I think you should have been in contact with other companies before you contacted us..." This was the consensus between Hu Zhi, but I didn't expect that afterwards, I realized that we were the only company that came into contact with them. This made Dai Wangcheng joke with me later and said that we had cheated them. This is a story that we did not say anything. "I think according to the current market operation method, there may not be any company that will cooperate with you in this way, right? To be honest, it is impossible for a pie to fall from the sky to happen." Before Hu Zhi finished speaking, he felt like he was throwing a bomb and whispering to each other.
When they were a little quieter, Hu Zhi continued, "I am about the same age as you, and I only graduated from college last year. To be honest, including Mr. Shi, we all appreciate your vitality and seriousness in work. However, this cannot be a bargaining chip for commercial negotiations. In fact, the most reasonable way is to buy your products and then we continue to develop and improve them in the next step. Instead of recruiting you staff who already have a fixed thinking pattern for this product, in some ways, your familiarity with the product can avoid detours, but your inherent concepts that have been formed with the product will make it difficult to break through once the product development reaches a bottleneck... So, for buyers, the two evils are the least. I think that most companies that negotiate with you in the past wanted to buy your product instead of joining you in the company?"
It was not until this time that Hu Zhi stopped and his face was calm. He looked at the eleven young men with no expression.
They were all silent. They looked at each other, looking at me, and I looked at you. They didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, a girl asked frankly, "What do you want to acquire our company now?"
Hu Zhi slapped the table gently, "By the way, that's the problem. Now, what we meant is that the price given to you will definitely exceed 1.8 million, but the shares, sorry, are not at all. This is the bottom line. But we can discuss the specific price again. Among you eleven people, one of you will be able to obtain certain shares, but we don't know who this person is now, and it may not be a project manager. The shares we give are management stocks, not technical stocks. To be honest, we will dig anywhere from the market.
A technical team needs to pay in addition to annual salary. The shareholding ratio of technical stocks will definitely not exceed ten percentage points. However, they have a lot of successful experience in the market and the game itself, which will obviously reduce many detours in our product development. However, based on the communication between Mr. Shi and you before, he knew that this was your first business start-up and that this product was very important. He also couldn't bear to change your first entrepreneurial experience to only a few RMB in a different way, so he decided to absorb your entire team into Tongda's name.
To be honest, maybe among you eleven people, if we cannot find a suitable manager after assessment, we can only invite someone suitable for management from outside, and then no one of you eleven people can obtain management shares."
It can be seen that the young people's faces were full of disappointment, but at the same time, they seemed to be thinking separately whether Hu Zhi's words were true or false. Or, according to their current experience, they could not judge how the market operates. Of course, Hu Zhi and I don't know about these things at the moment, and they are all later stories. At this time, I only saw that they were hesitant and did not know whether they should agree to continue the talk.
Hu Zhi and I stopped talking and waited for them to discuss in a low voice.
"What if we say that since we refuse to adopt our approach, we will give up this cooperation?" Finally, Zuo Wangcheng mustered up the courage and spoke.
I was very straightforward, closed my eyes and waited for Hu Zhi to tell them.
Hu Zhi smiled slightly and even laughed out loud, "If this is the case, we can only say that we are very sorry. This period of time has delayed too much negotiation time. I am sorry. However, negotiations will never be worthless. I hope it will be of some reference help to you next time you find a partner company."
Hu Zhi's words were basically as expected, because before closing my eyes, I noticed that when Jiao Wangcheng said this, his expression was actually very boring, probably caused by nervousness. The other ten members behind him could even see that there were people who opposed him saying this. It was probably that their opinions were not completely unified, but Dai Wangcheng had received the consent of the majority or he simply used the power of his temporary leadership to dare to say such words.
The end was completely silent, and everyone was watching us.
It should be my turn to speak at this time. Negotiations are always like this. We must always have a firm attitude and a mixed person. This time I want to play the role of a mixed person. Hu Zhi will sing. After all, he will be the general manager who will directly lead this group of young people. He must establish the greatest prestige.
"However, I still hope you can think carefully. Mr. Hu's meaning basically represents our Tongda meaning. Let me say that, the bottom line will not change. After all, if you give your shares, it means technology investment. We will invest a lot of money in the later stage, such as your salary and benefits, the architecture of the server required for the launch of the game, the layout of sales outlets such as game point cards, and the advertising of the game itself, etc. This is definitely not something that your technical department can accomplish, and even if you recruit all of you to
Under the sect, we still need to recruit some technical personnel to be equipped to your department. If you follow your plan, to be honest, there will be no company in China or even the world that can agree. To be honest, there are only two options in front of you, one is to have no penny and invest with technology; the second is to cash out directly and then merge into our Tongda to become a subsidiary, but at present, Tongda has no idea of cooperating with others. So, if you insist on getting shares, then we can only really give up and let you talk to other companies."
After I finished speaking, the eleven people on the other side became even more uneasy. Their faces showed panic caused by lack of experience. I could understand their mood, but in fact, what I said was reality and there was no malicious deception. If I wanted to cooperate, I would choose a more mature team instead of them. For a small studio like them that only has a prototype, I could do it, that is, buy them all with money.
However, there is one thing I didn't tell them.
It is imperative to join other technicians, and the company's architecture will be improved under Hu Zhi's hands, and the establishment of other departments is imperative to establish. Although the game has not been developed yet, since it has been decided to invest, the server architecture, the network channels for point-card sales in various places, and even advertising channels, need to start contacting.
Otherwise, when the game is developed, it is just a workshop method, and it will inevitably die on the street. So, after joining other professionals, some of them are likely to be eliminated naturally. Of course, I have a guarantee designed for them, and I don’t want to treat such a motivated young man as unfairly. If one day I have to let some of them out, I will give some financial compensation. However, this is just my thoughts and cannot be expressed. What I hope more in my heart is that they can pass the inspection of our company smoothly and stay all of them. After all, this game is like their common children. Kicking anyone out of them will make others feel extremely sad.
"Mr. Shi, Mr. Hu, can you let us think about it again?" Dai Wangcheng was still hesitating.
Hu Zhi immediately replied, "We hope this matter can be implemented before twelve o'clock and do not want to delay it in next year's work plan."
I waved my hand, "Let's do this, now the meal is over. Do you want to go to the bar or karaoke tonight? I said before that no matter what the result is today, I will still treat the show after the meal. Let's go play first, and you can consider it or not while playing. You can do it. You can do it. I don't want to force it too much, but please understand our work. After all, a company's work plan needs to be formulated in advance, and I hope we can get an answer as soon as possible."
Hu Zhi also knew the intention of my words, so he pretended to be disagreeing with me, "Mr. Shi, our..."
I smiled and continued to wave my hand, "Mr. Hu, forget it, they are still young, give them some time. Let's go play first. Since we are going to play, let's leave this aside. Let's go!" After saying that, I didn't allow any of them to question, so I stood up, picked up the coat that was placed behind the chair, put it on, and then walked out of the door.
When I arrived at the door, I turned around and said to them, "In this way, the two girls and Kuo Wangcheng got into my car, and the rest took a taxi by themselves and followed our car. I will leave it to the two girls to decide wherever they go. Do you have no objection?"
They didn't say anything, just two girls and Dai Wangcheng walked towards my car.
The reason I want this is that I have seen before that these two girls are quite good among these eleven people. In other words, their opinions can often influence the opinions of others. No matter what the reason is, what I need is such an influential person.
After getting on the bus, the girl who had just spoken at the dinner table. I vaguely remembered that she was named Liu Yunyan, who told us the direction the car should go.
On the way, Liu Yunyan asked me carefully, "Mr. Shi, if we are willing to only take back the money we asked for from our parents, that is, about 200,000, and then slightly reduce the holdings, do you think it is possible?"
I was smiling in my heart. But I still said, "I still said that I don't want to find a partner. What we need is a subsidiary, and except for managers, employees are not allowed to own shares. But one thing that can be revealed is that when this subsidiary meets the listing standards, I will choose to go public without hesitation. At that time, every employee of the company will have a share allotment. Of course, this share will not be large. But you have seen Baidu's miracle, and Shanda, etc. How much their veteran employees can make profits in such a listing process is conceivable. Moreover, in the process of company operations, especially after listing, the company's structure will become larger and larger. If you can all show sufficient management capabilities and enter the management level, then there will naturally be management stock allocations. This, I think, is the goal you should choose to strive for. If you insist on obtaining shares in the early stage, according to my opinion, there seems to be only one way, continue to endure and keep going.
I have calculated this process until your game has the ability to go online. You may need more than one million funds before you can hope to be noticed by venture capital institutions and become a company with independent management rights. Indeed, you can reach the top in one step, and even people like Ding Lei or Jack Ma will appear among you. But let me not talk about how you get the one million subsequent funds, even if you have it, you are really sure that this game will be delivered in the hands of eleven of you.
Go to the standard for online launch? Is that one year later, three years later, or longer? What is the online game market like then? Is the game that the public is popular with or is it the mode you are currently operating... You can think about it yourself..." After a big explanation, I turned around, "Let's do this, I also said, since I'm going to play, just relax. If you think about this issue, you should first welcome the arrival of the New Year together. There are three hours left, and it's a brand new year...
The three young people in the back seat were silent, each lowered their heads, or looked out of the car, thinking about different thoughts...
When we arrived at the door of a karaoke, we got off the bus. Then, I ordered a VIP private room, ordered various wine, fruit, and snacks, and walked into the private room.
At the beginning, the atmosphere seemed dull, and they might have their own thoughts. But the young people were young people after all. After a few songs, they quickly entered the state of entertainment. They all began to be excited, rushing to get a microphone, and the atmosphere gradually entered the climax...
When it was almost a little bit twelve, a waiter knocked on our door, told us kindly about the coming New Year, and sent some small gifts, some small fireworks suitable for indoor setting, and a small cake.
At my signal, Hu Zhi walked to the center of the private room, held the microphone, and began to show the charm of his leader, leading the young people to count down. After counting "1", everyone cheered and excitedly watched them with a smile as they excitedly welcomed the arrival of the new year...
As the New Year approached, I received a call from Wang Qian. She asked me quietly on the phone why I didn’t even have a blessing message. I also felt that I had forgotten something, so I apologized to her and explained my current situation.
Wang Qian knew that I was still working, and said in a very distressed tone, "You should pay attention to your health and don't work too hard, why bother? Even if we can basically spend our current assets in our lifetime, can we use them?"
I smiled, and for the first time in the new year I felt a feeling of money.
"In the past, I always heard some people say that at their level, money was just a growing digital concept for them. They had lost their desire for money. What they followed was the pursuit of higher goals, and the things they accomplished were no longer fighting for money. Although it was not an ideal, at least it was just a pure pursuit of a goal that was constantly re-established for themselves. At that time, I really didn't believe it when I told the truth, but now, hehe, at least half of it believed...at least, I was no longer working hard for the number of passbooks to increase."
Wang Qian asked in a very understandable way, "Then what are you doing?"
I shook my head, regardless of whether Wang Qian on the other end of the phone actually couldn't see it at all. "I don't know, or I know, but I don't know if this is right or wrong..."
"Since you don't know right or wrong, why don't you choose to give up? Do you have to have a magnificent life?" Wang Qian actually knew what I was thinking, but she just didn't say it out. This is a tacit understanding between her and me...
I suddenly laughed. "In the past, a long time ago, I hoped that my life would be dull. I had a love partner, a beautiful and intelligent child. Teach him to read, make him pass, and then wait for him to succeed, and I devoted myself to the sea of books, hoping to leave something for the world. But slowly, I realized that some people were destined to be unable to live according to their own wishes. So, when I walked on this road, I knew that I could no longer turn back. I had to follow such a road, no matter how hesitated or how many thorns and obstacles there were on the road, I had to go on and go on to pay--"
Wang Qian suddenly fell silent. On the quiet phone, she could hear nothing except her breathing.
I slowly walked towards the door and when I walked to the place where the revolving door, I saw a huge firework blooming in the sky, colorful, and the streets were cheering from people.
"Have you heard people cheering? This is the New Year, this is the voice of everyone's new year coming, and silently hiding a new hope in his heart.
"Is it because of Li Xiaoyu?" Wang Qian finally asked.
"I don't know, maybe, but at least not all." I answered happily, not at all. I didn't think there was anything difficult to answer. If I were the past, I would have thought for a long time. "And you, Long Da, Fang Dafu, Hu Zhi, and all the employees of Tongda. I am not pretending to be great, but to this point, I have already taken too much responsibility and it is absolutely impossible for me to withdraw..."
"I understand, okay, you'll end it sooner, I'll go to bed." After that, Wang Qian actually hung up the phone.
I looked at the night sky, and another huge firework was blooming. Under the fireworks, there were still people cheering. Suddenly I remembered the words of the talented woman Zhang Ailing. If you can't be that bright star, then you can be a firework that sets off instantly. The brilliance of a moment is also eternal...
It was almost two o'clock when I returned to the private room.
After hanging up Wang Qian's phone call just now, I did not choose to come back directly. Instead, I walked around the street alone, looking at the vivid people, and felt that my goal might be correct. Little did I see that the busy people coming and going, aren't they just busy for different goals? Whether great or small, or light or dark, they are always caused by desires from the heart. It is said without any concealment that this world is a comprehensive product of desire.
It was not until I figured it out that I returned to the private room. What greeted me was more than ten faces that were really tired.
"It's almost done, it's time for you to go back and rest!" When I saw their appearance, I knew that it was basically the end.
Everyone picked up their coats and bags and prepared to go out.
"Mr. Shi, let's do this. We will give you the answer to the acquisition after we have figured out the answer. You will stay in Keqiao these few days and don't leave?" Dai Wangcheng asked me before leaving.
I smiled, "How is that possible? The company still has a lot of things to be busy with, so of course I have to rush back."
"But tomorrow will be a three-day holiday..."
"For us, holidays do not exist. Only ordinary workers have holidays. Do you say that you will not do anything in these three days?" I smiled and looked at Dai Wangcheng. This was my last method to force him to show off. "I will go back to Nanjing with President Hu in a while, and I will rush back overnight. I can't sleep for a while and there will be something going on tomorrow afternoon. Let's think about it slowly. If I don't have a new project, let's talk about it..."
Chapter completed!
