Chapter 245 Young people are working hard and are reckless all the way [Subscribe]

Along with Gu Jingjing's Weibo updates, the entire Chinese Internet once again attracted countless people to discuss the Weibo listing plan.

The Royal Villa...

Wang Chengguang still needs to work diligently to gain experience.

It was already past 10 o'clock when he arrived at the headquarters of the Spark Building at noon of a new day. He arrived alone as usual this time. Ever since Gu Jingjing became pregnant, Xiaowei, Da Miaomiao and the other two had a hard time.

Wang Manni and Da Miaomiao do not live in the villa, but they can leave late and arrive early.

After he personally received the day's schedule from the secretariat and dealt with unimportant matters for half an hour, he called Xu Hongdou, Zhu Suosuo, and Qiao Zilin to come to the office together. "Get whatever you want to drink. I called you here this time because I have something to ask you."

"If you want to establish your own sports brand, whether it is clothing, shoes or other products, you can start preparing. When the time comes, Xinghuo Weibo will help you promote and market it by taking a stake in the overall Weibo Group."

"Don't worry, this is a joint effort between the platform and you. The platform will not take too much advantage. It only needs 30% of the shares to start, but in the competition among various sports brands, it will always be biased towards promoting your brand. You don't have management talents and don't understand business operations. You should cooperate deeply with Xinghuo Weibo and let Weibo help with operations and control, and then you will ask for more shares."

Xu and Zhu signed contracts to endorse and promote a sports brand for 2010 million yuan a year. Xu Hongdou signed the contract in March 3, and has not renewed it for a year. Zhu Suosuo signed the contract in May, and it will expire next month.

It really doesn't prevent them from creating their own brands.

Moreover, in the cooperative model, they are not worried about the loss of management ability, just give more shares.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongdou blurted out, "Then I'll call it Hongdou brand? Wouldn't that be too awkward?"

Zhu Suosuo was a little overwhelmed after hearing this, "Yes, I did have great ambitions before, but later I went to promote Ele.me. After thinking about it, I also feel that the Suosuo brand is a bit rustic and not high-end, and not as catchy as Li Ning."

Qiao Zilin looked around and smiled awkwardly, "If you think it's too tacky, why not try an English name? Weibo is such a big platform, it will definitely be effective in promoting products, and it can also help with management, so it's a win without any effort."

This is Wang Chengguang's new plan to promote the development of Weibo's overall market value, which includes games, short videos and the cultivation of new sports superstars.

Investing in and holding shares in other industries… The market value shares occupied by this group, as long as they are disclosed in the financial report, are market value boosters. This is an old tradition.

Why is the South African newspaper industry so rich? It’s because they own shares in Big Penguin!

Why does Big Penguin have a market value of several trillion? Isn’t it because it holds shares in Meituan, Pindaodao, Bilibili, JD.com, etc.? This is all about making money.

Weibo's greatest ability at this stage is that it is a gaming machine, and it is also a mouthpiece for a large public opinion platform. It is a natural super tool for publicity and promotion. It can promote several of its sportswear and shoe brands, and push them to go public year after year?

No matter how much these girls’ personal brands are worth in the future, as long as the shares are in their hands, they are the market value.

Wang Chengguang smiled and took a sip of water, explaining, "You don't have to worry too much about whether your name sounds good or not, and you don't have to have an English name. You can be like Anta. The Ding family named it Anta, and now the group is also very popular."

He also plans to use the name of Weibo to buy some Anta and Li Ning stocks at a bargain price. Anta’s current market value is more than 310 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its peak market value in 2021 will be more than 4900 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Li Ning is now worth 150 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its peak market value in 2021 was more than 2200 billion. He made ten times the profit by cashing out in two peak periods. It was nothing more than a personal investment in the past, which is now transformed into an investment in Weibo Group to maintain the overall market value.

The basic operation of large companies is to invest widely and cast a wide net.

Of course, he wanted to encourage the three daughters of Xu Hongdou to create their own personal brands, and they would eventually choose sportswear, shoes and socks.

As for Anta, Li Ning and others, you cannot invest too much. If you invest too much, your own people will destroy the shares in their hands.

After thinking for a while, he explained again, "You don't have to start your own sportswear brand. For example, if Suosuo wants to start a new mineral water brand, that's fine too."

"Weibo is now helping you transform from big stars to entrepreneurs. Hongdou, even if you want to open a chain of hotpot restaurants, that's fine."

Haidilao is not listed yet, but its future peak period will be worth more than 4300 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is a chain trap that will only get bigger and bigger.

At this pace, even if Xinghuo Weibo invests in ByteDance and becomes a major shareholder next year, it won't have to deliberately intercept short videos. As long as Zhang doesn't want to have the lion's share, Weibo can go along with it.

Zhu Suosuo was pleasantly surprised and said, "Boss Wang, can I open a cosmetics factory? Now, in the commercial endorsements that Xu Hongdou and I are working on, whether it's domestic or European and American beauty products, the price is often raised to 30 million RMB a year, and we promote whitening and moisturizing products to them."

Xu Hongdou: "..."

Hongdou glanced at Zhu Suosuo and stopped talking. After all, the other party had interrupted her.

Wang Chengguang drank a sip of tea, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Let's not do that. This is a lie. We all know that you are still so fair and tender despite running under the scorching sun for years. It's all thanks to the nourishing Chinese medicinal diet I made."

"There are many European and American big brands that want to buy my medicinal recipes, and many of them offer hundreds of millions of US dollars or even hundreds of millions of euros. After all, Brother Gaizi can spend 30 billion US dollars to buy a game, and the top beauty groups are not short of money."

"Go back and think about it for a few days, and give me an answer within a week."

After the three girls said goodbye and left, Wang Chengguang thought about it and decided to call his work secretary to ask if Vice President Wen had woken up. A few minutes later, Vice President Wen came running over with big dark circles under his eyes but he looked very energetic!
"Boss Wang, do you have anything to ask of me? I feel full of energy now, and this is the time when I am most capable of doing business."

Wang Chengguang was a little speechless when he saw the other party patting his chest and making a promise. He poured him a cup of refreshing tea and then said, "I have a plan to make Weibo move from online to offline and link it with other e-commerce and payment units. I want to talk to you about it."

"For example, Xu Hongdou and Zhu Suosuo are very popular now, and they may stand on the 100-meter Olympic track next year..."

This is just telling Vice President Wen about the matter once again.

Before Xu, Zhu and the newly joined Qiao Zilin gave him an answer, he also had to write a document or email to Guangdong East Provincial Investment and the Huo family to tell them and consult their opinions. After all, the two were among the major shareholders holding 5% of the shares.

Now Weibo is no longer owned by him alone, and he also has to tell all shareholders, big and small, about whether to set up a professional investment department to invest in stocks like Anta and Li Ning at the bottom.

If someone objects, he, as the largest shareholder, can veto it, but the process must still be followed.

But if we think normally, this plan will be supported by all shareholders, big and small.

Vice President Wen was ecstatic when he heard this. "Li Ning's market value is more than 100 billion, right? I remember Nike in North America is worth tens of billions of dollars. If Ms. Zhu and Ms. Xu can leverage their strength, popularity, and platform promotion... the new brand will be very promising."

"Sports brands are very valuable. We started out early and held 30%. This will be a great help to the overall market trend and market value estimation. Even if we sell mineral water, we can sell tens of billions a year, and the overall market is even bigger." "This plan is too strong, Mr. Wang, I will keep this % for a few more years. With the promotion of the new plan and the development of new brands and new markets, it may double!"

God knows he graduated from a prestigious university and finally had the opportunity to work hard and advance step by step, but when he was selected on the headhunting company's list, he could only expect an annual salary of several million at most.

After working at Xinghuo Weibo for two years, I was paid 6 million yuan directly!

Which highly educated and top-notch student in his early thirties could stand this kind of stimulation? After understanding the plan, Vice President Wen became even more enthusiastic.

Weibo's market value is just over 6 million RMB, which was determined after Brother Gaizi, Guangdong East Provincial Investment, Hong Kong Island Fok Family and others offered financing and actually provided financing.

If it is really listed, will it rise or fall? After working with Wang Chengguang for two years, I know that he is the most powerful hype king in the country, a media tycoon. Whoever Wang wants to make famous, as long as the other party does not make trouble and obeys, he will become famous and make money.

Now it is nothing more than extending the routine of hyping internet celebrities and superstars to the field of physical goods such as sportswear, shoes, mineral water, etc., and making money in the real industry.

Or is it Zhu Suosuo and Xu Hongdou, the super athletes who have won multiple gold and silver medals in Asia, who are the basis for the hype? No matter which product the other party chooses, they will be attracted by their fame, number of fans and the power of Weibo platform...

As long as the quality is good enough, if the annual sales volume does not start from tens of millions, his last name "Wen" can be written backwards. Annual sales volume of hundreds of millions is normal, and billions is a surprise.

Why wouldn't the market value of a new company like Xinghuo Weibo, which holds a large stake in the company, continue to rise after its listing? If it continues to rise by more than 6 million yuan, there is a chance that it will double.

This is such a huge excitement for these young people in their early 30s!
Wang Chengguang once again mentioned that he wanted to set up an investment department and invest part of the advertising or game revenue into the stock market? President Wen wanted to cry and shout that President Wang was his second parent.

Everyone who knows knows that Wang Chengguang has publicly given advice on investment several times, using Gu Jingjing's Weibo and WeChat Moments to give advice on buying houses in Beijing, Microsoft stocks, including Moutai and Shuanghui Development? How many people have made crazy money.

How many people are crying and shouting about the wrong billions!

As long as Wang Chengguang personally supervises and chooses investment directions for the newly established investment department, it would be strange if the profits from advertisements and games do not multiply several times in a few years.

Once that happens, his 3/1000 chance will be even more impossible...

After nodding his head repeatedly with excitement and patting his chest to promise that he would seriously convey the matter to the Guangdong East Provincial Investment and the Hong Kong Island Fok family, Vice President Wen walked away quickly with his head held high.

When young people are working hard for their careers and meet a big boss who is willing to give you hundreds of millions of assets and then draws a prospect of doubling your profits, there is nothing to say, just keep going!

He can proudly say that he is working hard for his own career instead of being a slave for his boss.

………………

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Chengguang toured the various departments of the Xinghuo Building, mainly to calm down the overly agitated people in the Weibo Department, and to cheer up the video, payment, WeChat and other departments who were full of expectations for the future.

When he returned to the office and saw Wang Manni and Da Miaomiao browsing their phones, he smiled and said, "Are you all recovered?"

Da Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him weakly, "Brother Guang, you don't want to do that before Sister Taozi gives birth... Anyway, she's due in early May, so don't wait for Sister Jingjing. Go get angry at Jiang Nansun."

Wang Manni coughed and said, "I don't think it's going to happen. The Athletics Diamond League will be held in May. We have to wait until she finishes the race and wins a few more bronze medals."

As she was talking, Wang Manni also became curious, "Is it true that Nansun has only won bronze medals in the past few years?"

Wang Chengguang was speechless. "Winning bronze would justify her lazy personality. If she wins gold easily, it would be too unfair to Zhu Suosuo and Xu Hongdou. Unless there is a big accident, such as a serious injury two days before the competition that I can't cure, then Nansun can be a substitute."

His medical skills are at the top level, and his dietary supplements and medicinal diets are at the mid-level level. Even if Xu Hongdou or Zhu Suosuo broke their bones two days before the game, they would still be at the mid-level level with their dietary supplements and medicinal diets...

Forget it. If something too outrageous like that happens, the global medical community, including all pharmaceutical giants and big capital, will open fire on him.

If the injury is really serious, you can only recuperate for a while and then come back next time.

After he had been working on Da Miaomiao's recovery for more than ten minutes in the office, the phone rang. Wang Chengguang took a look at the caller and it was the pig farmer.

He let go of Da Miaomiao and answered with a smile, "Good afternoon, Mr. Ding."

The pig farmer on the other side of the phone was speechless and said, "Boss Wang, why did you poach several people from NetEase? I'm not complaining, I'm just curious. With your current popularity, if you say a word, I guess our factory's technical R&D team will transfer to Xinghuo in large numbers."

"You don't have many people digging here."

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "I have an idea to make a PC game in my head, and most of our Xinghuo Weibo Game Center are experts in web games and mobile games, so I'll lend you a few of them."

He had said long ago that he would promote games on Xinghuo Weibo. He could also snatch a lot of games from the PC side. One of the best masterpieces is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which was launched by Original Tracks in South Korea in 2017. It is said that the concept of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was conceived by a South Korean studio in 2015...

That's fine, it's only April 2011.

Having intercepted the game so many years in advance without worrying about any conflicts, Wang Chengguang also understood the value of this game. "Good luck and win the game tonight" has been a famous meme on the Internet for some time.

Later, Big Penguin became the agent for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and the Chinese region earned more than 70 billion in revenue. Globally, including the mobile game version developed by Penguin, it earned more than 70 billion US dollars.

Add one more game like this, including his online and offline physical industrial plan and stock market bottom-fishing increase plan.

It would be unscientific if the market value of Xinghuo Weibo does not reach HK$6000 billion in the future. It simply poached a few veterans with rich experience in PC game development from NetEase, and added the talent pool of the game center.

By conducting research and development based on the current configuration of laptops or desktops, even if games are launched after Weibo goes public, it can still create a strong impact.

The pig farmer heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. I was really worried that you would hollow out our NetEase. You are a poisonous guy."

Wang Chengguang was speechless and started to complain, "You should hurry up and develop mobile games. We have sold more than 400 million copies of Spark in the mainland. There is also a huge demand in Hong Kong and Macau. After all, it is much cheaper. Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are also big markets for us to explore in the future."

"If we want to promote mobile phones and games abroad, we need to work together and pool our wisdom and resources."
