Chapter three hundred and ninety-first
Wang Sifeng felt like he was fooled. If he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.
Since Chen Qiaoshan is about to sell the forum, there is no need to split it up. On the contrary, the merger of the two can increase the valuation, which is obviously unreasonable.
Wang Sifeng finally got a clue. It was obvious that in the face of the sudden influx of capital, Chen Qiaoshan had already figured out a solution to the problem and used his competitors' funds to build a mess. This was a good plan.
No wonder he has been operating independently. Wang Sifeng smiled bitterly in his heart. He was destined to be unable to participate. Even if he resigns from his next home in the future, he will not be able to go all out. That is neither professional nor moral.
On the contrary, Chen Qiaoshan planned a retreat from the beginning, and at best he was an investor.
The equity of Qingshan Forum is very clear. Yan Xiaoqin is a legal person, accounting for 5% of the shares, Wang Sifeng holds 15% of the shares, and Aolong Technology holds 80% of the shares.
The legal person of Aolong Technology is still Yan Xiaoqin. She personally holds 5% of the shares, 5% of which is the cross-holding of Qingshan Forum. The remaining 90% of the shares belong to Qingshan Capital, which is registered in Hong Kong. Qingshan Capital is a bag company registered by Chen Qiaoshan for an agent.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Sifeng couldn't help but confirm, "You are going to continue working on the forum. Selling the Qingshan Forum is just to raise funds?"
Chen Qiaoshan nodded. Whether it is the capital market or the Internet field, it is difficult for him to achieve great things with his little money.
He arbitrages of 10 million from the stock market and repays usury. He first advances to Kangsheng for 2 million yuan. He has to invest 2 million yuan in the acquisition of Green League shares, and the investment he promised Chen Hua.
After counting it, half of the funds that can be used can be used, and Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that if he wanted to not fall behind in the subsequent competition, the money would not last long.
In response to Wang Sifeng's inquiry, Chen Qiaoshan nodded, "We must be unable to fight others in burning money. I believe you must have heard that after completing the acquisition, Chen Yizhou injected two million US dollars into Maopu. It is said that they moved their headquarters to CBD, but we still stayed in the relocated house in Zhongguancun. This is the most real comparison."
Wang Sifeng was silent. He knew that this was the truth. As soon as Maopu was acquired by Qiangu Group, he quickly changed the domain name and server. The advertisements were also overwhelming. In just a few days, the momentum had been built.
Chen Qiaoshan glanced at Liu Chang and Wang Sifeng. These were the two most trusted friends in the entrepreneurial stage. He didn't want to have a rift between them. "Brother Wang, the forum should be sold at a good price. Don't worry. If you really don't want to go to the next house, don't force me. I will give you all the losses of options."
In mergers and acquisitions, in order to reduce risks, the payment method is generally equity plus cash, and some also have to add options, and basically all payments are in installments.
In this way, the stability of the transition period is invisibly improved, and senior executives have to consider the losses when they leave. Dai Zhikang resigned from Tencent that year and gave up stock options worth 70 million.
Wang Sifeng shook his head. With Chen Qiaoshan's ability, if the forum is sold, it will definitely be sold at a sky-high price. He is not worried about money, but he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while. Thinking of the forum, he couldn't help asking: "What should I do if I split it up, what should I do if I recruit or draw it from the forum?"
"You recommend a person in charge. As for the coordination, maintenance, post-development and technical support of the forum, you will draw a few reliable personnel from the studio, and the rest will be recruited." Chen Qiaoshan's requirements are not high, and he never thought about building a new team, and he would still support it with the old foundation of Qingshan Forum.
Wang Sifeng thought about it, "The person in charge will decide Wang Lei and let Yao Yong go there too. He is not suitable for going to a big company, and his skills are not worse than mine. It should be no problem with him."
"Okay, just do as you said." Chen Qiaoshan did not hesitate at all. "Brother Wang, from now on, the forum will increase publicity efforts. We have never done promotions before, and we must move now. At least until there is definite news on Tianya, we must not fall under the cat pounce. This is particularly important."
Liu Chang stared at Chen Qiaoshan and asked, "Even if the forum can be sold, can you guarantee that a mess will become popular?"
She is still very rational. Even if the Qingshan Forum is successful, it may not be successful even if it is a mess. The difference between the two is really big.
Although they are both comprehensive forums, the audiences of the two are obviously different.
Qingshan Forum has the largest registration ratio for investors, while it is even more single. The 300,000 members are basically students or graduates from various universities.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "Don't worry too much about this."
"How to say it?" Wang Sifeng was a little surprised. When the Qingshan Forum was being promoted, Chen Qiaoshan tried every means and used all kinds of methods, but it was still possible to use it once. If there were too many times, it might not have the effect of the past.
Chen Qiaoshan was a little hesitant. After all, Document No. 16 was released a month later, so it was obviously inappropriate to use it now. After thinking about it, he said: "There will always be a solution. At least there is no shortage of funds. It is much easier to promote it, which is much easier than before."
Nowadays, the intra-school networks of various universities are interconnected within the education network, and students from other schools can also post on Peking University Weiming and Shuimu Tsinghua University.
However, Document No. 16 was issued and the first round of online real-name system began. Campus networks of various universities have successively closed off-campus access, and only allow students of the school to log in with real names.
For a long time, college BBS has been a relatively independent system, and the forced promotion of real-name networks has created conditions for the rise of SNS communities such as the campus network.
After the policy was released, many college BBSs moved to the public network. The most famous one was the Shuimu Community in Tsinghua University. Sister Furong became popular on the Internet since then.
Now, tens of millions of college students don’t have to worry about it. After the BBS of various colleges and universities cut off off off-campus visits, it will be a ready-made distribution center, and the number of users will surely skyrocket.
In Chen Qiaoshan's eyes, college students are the most valuable audiences, and the tendency of investors is obvious. He is confident that as long as it is operated properly, it is definitely not a problem to create a Qingshan Forum.
The reasons given by Chen Qiaoshan were not convincing, but Wang Sifeng could not refute that the most indispensable thing to play the Internet is money.
Even if he wanted to refute, he had no convincing reason and had to accept Chen Qiaoshan's opinion.
After the meal broke up, they each parted.
Although Wang Sifeng did not object, Chen Qiaoshan did not relax.
There are still many uncertainties in things. Whether Tianya will accept the offer, and whether Sohu and Sina will quote the Qingshan Forum will all be a question.
Chen Qiaoshan must make a big gamble. Qingshan Forum has no foundation in Tianya. He must expand the influence of the forum in the shortest time. At the same time, before the real name of the network, he must complete a mess of hardware upgrades, which is another unsavory expense.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Yan Xiaoqin asked in a low voice.
Chen Qiaoshan sighed, "I'm worried that I don't have enough money!"
"It's nearly 10 million, and it's all spent so soon?" Yan Xiaoqin was really scared. It's only a few days before. If she had to spend a hundred dollars a day, it would be extravagant. This money would be enough for her to spend the rest of her life.
"Not yet, but it's too soon."
"The house payment has not been paid yet, so why don't we buy a house?" Yan Xiaoqin regretted it a little. She wouldn't have bought a car if she had known it, so she could still make up nearly one million yuan.
Chen Qiaoshan smiled, "Don't, we finally bought a suite. Even if we failed this gamble, at least we wouldn't have nothing."
Yan Xiaoqin didn't refute. Thinking about the scene when she was having dinner just now, she couldn't help but ask: "Did you notice that Sister Chang looked at me strangely just now?"
"Yeah?"
"Why isn't it? Brother Wang is too. Didn't you notice it?" Yan Xiaoqin was very suspicious. She didn't believe Chen Qiaoshan didn't see it.
Chen Qiaoshan naturally knew the reason. Yan Xiaoqin was his agent. Once the forum was sold, her identity could no longer be hidden. It was only a matter of time before it was exposed. There was no need to hide it. He explained the twists and turns inside.
"Why choose me? Can't you find someone else?" Yan Xiaoqin was a little surprised and was a false alarm not long ago. If it was confirmed this time, it would be lively.
Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Then who do you think you are looking for?"
Yan Xiaoqin was stunned. According to the prediction given by Chen Qiaoshan, the acquisition price this time was not low. Even if her shares were converted less than 10%, it was a considerable income. It was obviously uneasy to hand it over to people who didn't know the bottom line.
"What about you, can't you come forward by yourself?"
Chen Qiaoshan explained: "If I come forward, although the acquirer cannot ask us to join the company, a non-compete agreement is inevitable, so I cannot participate in anything that is messy."
"That's true, just do what you said." Yan Xiaoqin agreed, but she then added: "If you have any trouble, you will have to solve it."
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but joke, "What trouble can you have? After selling Qingshan Forum, plus Kangsheng, our net worth is definitely over 100 million."
Yan Xiaoqin gave him a blank look and said angrily: "I didn't joke with you."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "I discovered that in your eyes, you can often have millions or tens of millions, just like dozens of dollars. You didn't see you doing anything. Why did you make so much money? Isn't that easy?"
"I remember that at this time last year, you were moving bricks in a brick factory. How much does it cost a day? It's ten yuan?"
Chen Qiaoshan was speechless when asked. Some questions were difficult to explain, but some questions were difficult to explain.
