Chapter 230: As soon as I entered the industry, I became the leader [Subscribe]
More than two hours later, a customary dinner ended. When Wang Chengguang got on the car back to Yangcheng Hotel, Wang Manni smiled and said, "Brother Guang, Mr. Chen from OPPO and Mr. Liu from Gionee are both in contact with Mr. Lei and Mr. Huang. Do you want to get out together?"
"After the idea of spending a lot of money to grab market share was proposed, it seemed that many people suddenly became anxious."
Wang Chengguang took a sip of water and nodded with a smile, "Of course I'm in a hurry. Xiao Ma's Big Penguin Game has a net profit of several billion a year, and that's after excluding the net profit of various links. The gross income is a cash flow of tens of billions."
"If there is a chance to take 3%, who wouldn't want to grab the money? Pony Ma is one of the bosses of a big company, not to mention there are many small companies and studios. Take Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, which have exploded in the past two years, for example. They are all small studios that have made hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue."
"If mobile phone manufacturers can start this blood-sucking method, they can make more money than just selling a certain number of phones. At least, even during the tax-free period, the money earned by Meizu Jack Huang from selling mobile phones is not as easy as sucking other people's blood."
"At this stage, mobile phone manufacturers are transforming and moving towards the era of smart phones. Transformation itself faces risks and involves various large expenses. If you can contact and negotiate in advance and find a stable blood bank, you don't have to worry about the failure of the transformation."
At the previous dinner, Pony Ma was tentatively asking if he could own more shares of Spark Mobile... Of course, this refers to the 37.5% stake that Lei Jun and his friends coveted.
For example, if we want to produce 10 million mobile phones, we certainly cannot adopt the down payment model like that of real estate. It is impossible to ask netizens to give money first and then raise enough funds for production. That is nonsense.
The cost of producing 2500 million Spark 1 mobile phones, each with parts and components costing a total of 250 yuan, is 200 billion yuan. Taking into account the 270 yuan spent on other production and transportation links, the cost is billion yuan.
Lei Jun and his friends can't afford it, but Xiao Ma can, as long as they give him a little more shares and make him the second largest shareholder.
Xiao Ma consulted Wang Chengguang like this. Brother Yangzhu also wanted to buy shares. He could afford it. Even if Brother Yangzhu was evaluated as a rich man with 146 billion assets this year, based on 270 billion and 1000 million mobile phones, he could get 27% by paying 10 billion...
Xiao Ma also wants to pay 54 billion to get 20% from Lei Jun and his friends!
At this stage, major game companies are really anxious!
Wang Chengguang would not interfere too much in this matter. He just let Xiao Ma and Yangzhuge talk to Lei Bushi themselves. It seems that Lei Bushi is really popular now.
In the field of mobile phone manufacturing, let’s take Gionee as an example… Although the boss Liu Xiaoming will become addicted to gambling in the future and lose tens of billions and go bankrupt, Gionee was really a big brand in the 00s, and it was hard to make it to the throne of first-class brands.
However, the smartphone launched by Gionee last year still has a physical keyboard that occupies a large area of the body, and is no match for Meizu M8 and Apple.
Even so, Gionee has invested a lot in R&D and production. If the products don't sell well, what will the loss be? They must be excited after finding the big blood bags.
OPPO itself launched its large-screen smartphone in the summer of 2011, and has been investing in research and development for quite some time.
But in the current market, first there was the dimensionality reduction attack of iPhone 4, and then there was a similar dimensionality reduction attack on various previous mobile phones. Compared with the Aipao machine, the Spark 1 also has certain inferior quality and poor user experience.
Later, Xinghuo and Meizu adopted a money-burning strategy, giving money to grab market share just to grab users. Needless to say, this is a big stimulus to consumers. There are also brands like Samsung who are ready to move and are working hard to make things happen.
OPPO must have doubts, worried that if it is launched on the market according to the original trajectory, it will not sell well, because OPPO still sells mobile phones in a traditional way, how much money can a mobile phone make... They want to make money? They will find that the low-end Xinghuo 1 and the mid-to-high-end mobile phones have been dominated by Meizu M9 and iPhone 4.
What price will OPPO set for the smartphones it is developing and to whom will it sell them? Will they sell well? If they don’t, how can it make money?
Then you find a chance to grab a wave of game companies' blood bank to make back your investment? Then you must try it. Since Jack Huang wanted to follow the trend and grab the commission from Lei Jun, Lei Jun has become the representative of Android and the leader.
Let Lei Jun have a headache about this "big brother". The name of "big brother" sounds nice, and you will become a big brother as soon as you enter the industry, but this position will also make all the big and small game companies hate you with gnashing teeth.
………………
It was past 10 o'clock at night, on the track and field track of the Olympic Center Stadium.
Wang Chengguang looked at Xu Hongdou, Zhu Suosuo, and Jiang Nansun, who were warming up, as well as the professional coaching team. He had long since sobered up and smiled to Brother Xiao Ma beside him, "Jiang Nansun sprained her ankle and strained her ligaments before, but she has completely recovered and there are no hidden dangers."
"They will only focus on 100m and 200m in this Asian Games, and also take 4x100m into consideration for practice. As long as they don't make mistakes, they will surely win gold, silver and bronze medals."
Tomorrow is the official opening of the Asian Games, but the track and field events will have their final round schedule on November 11st. For seven consecutive days until the end of the Asian Games, track and field events will continue to win gold and silver medals.
It was not convenient to borrow the venue for a test run on the opening day, so this training session in the evening can be regarded as a formal test.
Xiao Ma Ge laughed, "You sobered up so quickly? I still feel a little dizzy. Super athletes have good physiques. I should have known not to drink at night."
While chatting and laughing, the three women got ready and started one round at a familiar rhythm, Zhu Suosuo in 11.08 seconds, Xu Hongdou in 11.08 seconds, and Jiang Nansun in 11.42 seconds.
The performance of the three girls once again amazed countless people, and those in the stadium who were fortunate enough to witness this scene began to applaud and cheer.
Everyone has become accustomed to Zhu Suosuo and Xu Hongdou's results. Everyone knows that they are able to stand in the Olympic finals. Even if they make a little more progress... they are still far from the gold and silver medals.
But they are indeed making progress!
Progress can give people more hope.
Jiang Nansun has become a little surprise. With this result, she is almost certain to win the 100-meter bronze medal in China. As for the Asian Games against athletes from various regions and countries, whether she can win the bronze medal really depends on your luck.
As everyone knows, in domestic competitions, Jiang Nansun failed to win a medal in the 100-meter track many times.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Xiao Ma Ge complained again, "How come Ms. Xu has tied with Ms. Zhu in private training again? In formal competitions, Ms. Xu won all silver medals. Fortunately, she is prettier, so that our JD errand runners will not be inferior to Ele.me."
The fact that Renmin University's Adong is millions less user-shy than Jack Ma in food delivery is really innocent because he cannot devote himself wholeheartedly to running a business of running errands.
Brother Xiao Ma is also looking for help recently to help Adong.
Wang Chengguang laughed, "Then Jiang Nansun was also signed to run errands at JD.com? Her rise was relatively slow. If she can win two bronze medals this time, with her background as a super rich and beautiful woman, there will be a lot of extra bonuses."
Jack Ma has raised 15 million US dollars and transferred 6.66%. Now the external valuation of Ele.me is million US dollars, which is a very auspicious number. However, Jingdong has not raised funds. Whether it is Spark or Penguin Group, even Jingdong has no shortage of money. If the money is burned out, they will each contribute some money and have enough ammunition again.
Brother Xiao Ma looked at Wang Chengguang strangely and nodded, "You decide who to train. I don't care about trivial matters."
He heard that Xinghuo Lao Wang helped Zhu Suosuo introduce bank bosses to loans and capital raising... Isn't this guy now sharing the shareholding with his girlfriends, and directly joining new unicorn companies to rise together with the entrepreneurs?
Forget it. He was too lazy to eat this kind of melon. He didn’t have to pay for it, and the share he got was basically Adong’s.
What is even more outrageous is that under normal business operations, as long as Jiang Nansun won two bronze medals and maintained her pace of improvement in the future, she would really have a huge appeal in helping JD.com run errands to seize the market.
The niece of a real estate tycoon worth tens of billions, whose father is a large rent collector and holds 1.1% of a large penguin...
For more than 99% of ordinary people, she is super white, rich and beautiful.
What Xiao Ma Ge is most grateful for now is that he got on board the Xinghuo mobile phone last year. No matter how much commission he gets, as one of the major shareholders, he can get back a little bit.
It is better to talk more with Lei Jun. He hopes that he can eventually pay for more than 20% of the shares.
Wang Chengguang also noticed that Xiao Ma Ge was acting strange, but he was too lazy to explain, "I also have an appointment for a midnight snack. See you next time."
He had traveled all over the world before and had rarely been to Guangzhou. He and his roommate Lao Liu only kept their contact information before graduation. Because of his gradual rise, he had to change the number of unfamiliar numbers that harassed him.
Before coming this time, Lao Liu tried to make an appointment with him through Lu Tao. After all, he was his roommate for four years in college in his inherited memory, so going out for a meal and a midnight snack and chatting would be a snack.
After a while, when Wang Chengguang arrived at a five-star hotel by car, he saw Lao Liu smoking outside the gate while he was still in the car. There was another figure, Lao Fang, who was a student in the Department of Transportation Engineering of Beijing University of Architecture and Technology during his college years. Lao Fang and Lao Liu were from the same hometown and they often played together. They were the same gaming enthusiasts.
Wang Chengguang grabbed a few Spark phones and got out of the car, saying to Wang Manni, "You go back first. We haven't seen each other for more than three years since graduation. I guess we'll have to drink a lot. This is our first time in Guangzhou. Just ask the driver behind to wait for me."
It was my first time in Guangzhou, and even with a navigation system, there were always other cars following me when I drove around.
Wang Manni smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just play games on my phone and wait."
Wang Chengguang said no more, put on his mask and walked towards Lao Liu and Lao Fang.
Old Liu is the same age as him, over 1.7 meters tall, with a dark complexion. He looks a little more mature after not seeing him for a few years, but the changes are not significant, and he still has a strong tech geek vibe.
The other old man seems to have gained a lot of weight...
When he walked a few meters away and waved and called out, Liu was startled. After looking at Lao Fang, he threw down his cigarette to confirm a few times, and the two of them walked over together, "Mr. Wang, you are so kind. I am flattered. I was a little afraid to contact you at first..."
Lao Fang also smiled foolishly, and lowered his voice when he got closer, "It feels like a dream. We used to stay up late playing games together, and now we have become the richest people. Mr. Wang, when will we become the richest Chinese in the world?"
Wang Chengguang was speechless and gave away the phones directly. "I won't give away anything too expensive. I will give each of you three Spark phones. Help me try them out and let me know if you have any feedback."
Old Liu was delighted. "If you give us something expensive, we wouldn't dare to accept it. But a Spark phone is fine. The private room has been opened and is waiting for you. Please come in, Mr. Wang."
Wang Chengguang laughed and said, "Five-star hotel? Are you spending so much money?"
Lao Fang was amused. "Why spend money? We made a lot of money thanks to you. Although we didn't use your skin to fool anyone, but you asked that Gu Saozi to post a Weibo suggesting buying a house and Microsoft stock during the real estate winter in February 09?"
"Guess how much Lao Liu and I bought?"
Lao Liu nodded. "Yes, Lao Fang and I are both from Guangzhou. We have a house at home and our parents have savings. During the real estate winter, we borrowed money to buy three houses at the bottom. We made a fortune. The new houses in Tianhe were just over 7000 yuan per square meter at the time. Now the price has risen to more than yuan. The location is good, and the price is still far above the average price."
"There are three new houses in Tianhe, all of which are more than 100 square meters. I almost went to Dongguan to be a groom. If you, a big boss, don't like the level of Wancheng, we won't invite you. If you can come here today, Lao Fang and I will accompany you to the bottom of the table."
Lao Fang whispered, "I borrowed money to buy Microsoft, and now I am financially independent. The weird part is that when I told my parents that I was your classmate, no one believed me. It was He Yihang, the rich second generation, who contacted us and asked if we should listen to your advice and take a risk."
"He lent me and Lao Liu money, and now we've become wealthy. I feel like even if my family is demolished one day, that's it."
While walking and chatting, Wang Chengguang understood the profiles of these two people and was also very amused. They were locals in Yangcheng, and they had not encountered demolition yet? Would they have a chance in the future? This itself was...
In addition, during the real estate winter, the second generation of real estate developers in Zhengzhou came together and were willing to lend them money. This is the concept of wealth freedom in ordinary people's minds.
The three of them arrived at the private room, and the food and drinks were served. Lao Fang stopped whispering and poured wine for himself and Lao Liu. He drank three glasses first and said, "Fuck, when I was studying in Beijing, when I met you northerners who could drink, Lao Liu and I didn't dare to speak loudly."
"I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight. These bottles of wine are worth it to be able to drink with the richest man in mainland China. If I tell others about this now, my relatives will definitely believe it, but my colleagues won't believe it."
"Those bastards knew that I went to the same school with you, and they asked me if I knew you. I said no, and they said I was just pretending. How could I not have heard of a superstar like you? I said I knew you and was very familiar with you, and we often stayed up late playing games together. Then they complained that I was pretending to be a big shot, and no matter how I answered, it was wrong."
Lao Liu also complained while drinking, "Boss Wang, why did you go to Peking University to study mathematics? This is too funny. If you have an idea one day, you can go to South China University of Technology to try. Lao Liu is a counselor there, and it's also very stable."
Wang Chengguang was speechless again and raised his glass, "Drink wine and eat food."
After graduation, both of them returned to Guangzhou. Lao Liu is engaged in architectural design in his major, and seems to be doing okay now... After buying a house and Microsoft, the nature of his job has become similar to that of Lu Tao working in a design company.
Lao Fang was admitted to the graduate school of South China University of Technology and stayed on after completing his postgraduate studies.
They are all young people in their twenties and to be able to have the current situation, they can really be considered small winners.
