Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 400: Other Shore Technology Park

The story between the founding team and capital is not new, and may even be a bit boring.

It is probably because the two parties had different ideas before, but their say was equal, which is a legacy issue after the historical acquisition.

Daily frictions, differences in business development, dissatisfaction with profit distribution, and accumulation of anger are just a process of quantitative change, but the two sides barely maintain a fragile balance.

However, this balance is at risk as Shanda Literature plans to launch its IPO plan in the spring of next year.

Towards the end of the month, the fragile balance was completely broken when a principled issue arose.

Capital conservatives want to keep everything stable before the listing. The main focus of this issue is appeasement and maintaining stability. Everything will be easy after the listing, but we need to wait at least three more months.

As for whether it will be the problem itself or the people who solve the problem after the listing, it is hard to say.

Perhaps those who stick to principles can see this point, or perhaps they can no longer tolerate it and no longer need to endure it.

They usually tolerate other minor frictions, but now there is a problem that seriously affects fairness on the website. If it is not dealt with quickly, it will affect the foundation of the website, and the principle of fairness and justice that has always been upheld will be out of the question.

In this way, the two forces within Shanda Literature collapsed.

When there are two different voices in an enterprise and the volume of these two voices is almost the same, then either the east wind will prevail over the west wind, or the west wind will prevail over the east wind. Peaceful coexistence only exists in Andersen's fairy tales, and the final outcome of disintegration is foreseeable.

After hearing this story, I was afraid that the situation described above would happen again.

Chen Mo has invested in all entrepreneurial teams before, whether it is Bi'an Sanshuzi, Ele.me, AutoNavi, ByteDance, MiHoYo, or YaoYao, either owning a majority of the shares or acquiring them in full, and Bi'an has absolute say.

After all, at the beginning of the acquisition, Chen Mo’s way of communicating with the founding team or the founder was to use money to pressure them first. If that didn’t work, then he would convince them with reason!
Chen Mo's way of convincing people with reason is often believed by the more outstanding people, and they love to eat his pancakes.
In addition, the reason why he wants to use people like Zhang Xuhao, Zhang Yiming, Cheng Wu, and Xing Shanhu is not because these businesses cannot be handled without them, but because Chen Mo wants to save trouble and be a hands-off boss, that's all.

Otherwise, with the support of WeChat, can't Toutiao, Douyin, and Ele.me be done by themselves? Yes, but it will be very tiring and is the worst option.

For some things, we need to learn to use people and delegate power, and play multiple lines. There is no need to do everything ourselves and fight on a single line.

Chen Mo's subtext is only one: you can use what is given to you, and you cannot snatch what is not given to you.

If you don't listen to me, pack up and get out of here. I'll do it myself and I'll be the first one to kill you!

Now, Chen Mo has waited for this opportunity and immediately gave Zhang Changfa an order, "Do it the same way you did in Tencent Guangyan Center and Alibaba Cloud Computing before.

This time it's Shanda's turn, tell the brothers to swing the hoes and dig hard."

The next day, the dawn broke.

Chen Mo received a WeChat message from Zhang Changfa, which contained the contact information of the other party’s leader.

This information was forwarded to Zhou Shouzi, along with a message, "Action!"

Whether it was the full-scale attack at the gate of Shanda or the other side venture capital team, under the deployment of Chen Mo, they had already coveted Shanda Literature for a long time.
Zhang Changfa and Zhou Shouzi, the former is responsible for intelligence and subversion work, cutting off the source of the trouble; the latter is waving money and ideas, winning the hearts and minds.

Everyone performs their duties.

The two met to discuss the acquisition of Shanda Literature and the next course of action.

To put it bluntly, one person played the bad guy and the other played the good guy, and they got the job done.

But as they talked, there was one thing that left them puzzled.

That is, even if the entire army attacked and deployed heavy troops to guard the gate of Shanda, they could only vaguely hear scattered information about internal discord.

This internal turmoil at Shanda Literature broke out suddenly and decisively within just a few days.

How could the boss be so sure more than a month ago that the palace fight would definitely take place before the listing?

After thinking about it, the two could only conclude that the reason why the boss is the boss is that he has more powerful resources, both in terms of information and connections.

Does the boss have someone in Shanda's upper echelons? The boss is the one who will put an end to this unrest.
After this analysis, the two of them were even more in awe of their boss.
In late February,
Just when the power struggle between the two forces within Shanda Literature was reaching a fever pitch.

A mysterious force entered the scene and made contact with one of the parties.
After obtaining the mysterious force's promise of sufficient development funds, adequate resources and independence, which fully satisfied the team's freedom and needs for the future development of online literature.

Saturday, October 12.

The media revealed that there was turmoil within Shanda Literature, and a large number of core members of the management team, mainly executives named Wu, resigned and their whereabouts are unknown.

Subsequently, a lot of negative news about Shanda Literature came out.

For example, IPO listing plans may be affected.
For example, many of the problems currently occurring on the novel website have not been resolved, causing serious dissatisfaction among authors and readers.

The media revelations are all true, and Chen Tianqiao can testify to this.

But he doesn't care. He has long wanted to get rid of those idealistic literary and artistic teams.

The reason why Shanda bought the other party before was not because he was interested in the people, but because he valued the authors and the popular novels. Then he established Shanda Literature to provide content support for the online Disney that he had always wanted to create.

But what happens after you buy it? Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

All the changes he proposed were delayed by the team using various means. Soft resistance has been going on for a long time, and all kinds of orders were disobeyed in a lip service.

It doesn't make money, there's too much work to do, and the business doesn't obey orders. To him, this type of business is useless, so he wants to list it to raise some money and just let it fend for itself.

As a result, before the listing, these guys found an excuse and took the opportunity to force him to abdicate?

However, after he intervened, the other party was obviously no match for him. Although he held a high position, he was just a high-level worker. How could he compete with him in terms of capital?

In the past two days, the other party seemed to have found a way to bargain with him, but Chen Tianqiao did not tolerate it and took the opportunity to fire this malignant team!
He knew that there was a force secretly lurking on the opposite side of Shanda Literature, but instead of trying to stop it, he was happy to see it happen.

After some investigation and understanding, he found out that this force was from the other side. At the same time, some of the things that Tencent and Alibaba had done before were also placed on his desk.

It is understandable. After all, the other party wanted to acquire Shanda Literature before, so it is understandable that they are doing some tricks behind the scenes now.

If it were a few years ago, Chen Tianqiao would not consider selling Shanda Literature even if it was ruined in his hands.

But today is different from the past. Shanda Box, which carried the Disney dream and invested billions of dollars, has gone down the drain because of a ban.

He has made comprehensive investments in online literature, video entertainment, film and television companies, etc., but the returns over the years have been minimal, far from what he expected, and now he is in a state of being unable to get rid of his problems.

Even the cash cow gaming business is encountering more and more competitors.

In recent years, Shanda has been hit by backlogs from companies such as Tencent, NetEase, Perfect World, and Giant Network, and its living space has been squeezed to the point where it is almost gone.

In the past two years, it represented two popular Korean online games, "Dragon Nest" and "Aion". Although the quality of the games was good, they still could not withstand the siege of a number of new and old online games such as "Fantasy Westward Journey", "World of Warcraft", "League of Legends" and "Zhengtu".

Chen Tianqiao feels that Shanda today is like "Legend" today, and has reached the second half of its life cycle.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it was a fantasy for Shanda Literature to go public now. Even if this mess did not happen, there would be differences in valuation with the market.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to talk to Bi'an and sell Shanda Literature in a package while it is still valuable to get more cash. He knows that Chen Mo has a lot of cash flow. At least at the beginning of the year, Baidu acquired Bi'an Assistant for more than 100 billion yuan.

Sure enough, a few days later, Chen Tianqiao received a strange call from the CFO of Bi'an. When he heard that the other party wanted to acquire Shanda Literature, he wanted to meet him.

"If you want Shanda Literature, ask Chen Mo to come to Shanghai to talk to me in person!"

In Beijing, Chen Mo received a call from Zhou Shouzi.

"Okay, I get it. Don't worry. It's not a good deal. I'll talk about it in a couple of days when I'm free."

December 12th, Christmas.

I don't know when young people all loved to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Valentine's Day, Halloween, and Christmas.
There is nothing we can do about it. Who has let the New Year atmosphere fade away and the Spring Festival Gala become worse and worse?
Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that some e-commerce platforms are holding promotions during foreign festivals today.

Ever since JD.com launched the Double 12 event, other e-commerce platforms suddenly realized that they could do this.

But Taobao took the initiative and occupied the three-day New Year's Day opportunity. Especially when it saw that JD.com surpassed its own Double Eleven, its eyes became red. It hired female stars as spokespersons for the big promotion and announced wave after wave of preferential benefits. It seemed that it had invested heavily.

Other e-commerce platforms, while secretly cursing JD.com for being unethical and corrupting the social atmosphere, began to prepare for Christmas promotions.

There is no way. No one wants to compete head-on with the aggressive Taobao on New Year's Day, so they all put the promotion festival on the Christmas window.

JD.com sheathed its sword and bided its time, while on the other side, Chen Mo gave an order to the marketing department to continue to contact these small and medium-sized e-commerce platforms and continue to sell shovels (cloud servers).

As for Dangdang.com and Suning.com, they are very wealthy and they offered a minimum lease term of one year during Double Eleven.

In addition to the top two online e-commerce companies, other vertical e-commerce platforms such as Dangdang, Mogujie, Meilishuo, Jumei, Vancl, Suning.com, etc. are all potential customers.

It’s not that Baidu and Tencent’s cloud computing is not good, but the cloud computing level of these two companies is still at the stage of providing services to individuals and has not yet matured into enterprise-level solutions.

In addition to being Christmas and an e-commerce promotion today, the completion and cutting ceremony of the first phase of the Bi'an Technology Park was also held.

There weren't many people participating in the cutting, only a dozen or so, but they were all big shots.

In the C position were several executives from the city and district wearing jackets, and next to Chen Mo was the head of Zhongguancun Science Park.

On both sides were Chen Mo's friends. Lei Jun, Liu Qiangdong, and Wang Wei, the other three members of the Mi'an Dongfeng four-member team, were present in person to participate in the cutting. There were also some friends in the investment circle, such as IDG's Xiong Xiaoge, Morningside's Tong Shihao, and Shunwei's Xu Dalai.
On the other side are five lucky employee representatives from the Bi'an Group who were drawn through an intranet lottery.

Yes, they are not executives but employees. The executives from the other side are watching the ceremony below.

Surrounding them in a circle were the media and reporters who had come after hearing the news.

These people surrounded the square of the theme building of the Bi'an Science Park, which was full of technology and futuristic feeling. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the crowd split into two groups. On one side, Chen Mo and Xu Peixin led a large group, accompanied by the senior executives of Bi'an, to introduce the design concept of Bi'an Science Park, the original plan, and the next plan of Bi'an to the leaders and friends. A large number of media followed to shoot some of the internal environment scenes.
The other group was filled with several representatives of the other side’s employees, who were guided by several administrative classmates to tour their “new home”.

There are three administrative staff, one carrying a camera and one holding a camera. The pretty administrative lady in front is responsible for giving explanations to these students.

The entire park has separate lanes for pedestrians and vehicles, and there is a smart parking lot under the office building.

The tour routes for these people were then completely planned by these employees.

This group of people was like a dragon returning to the sea, attacking everywhere.

This time they came here to represent the earnest expectations of more than 8 employees on the other side, and to bring back the first-hand real image data of the group's new home.

Food is the most important thing for people, so they headed straight to the cafeteria.
Although the canteen has not yet opened, the sign menus and cooking equipment of each stall have been prepared.

As the lady explained, the canteen has all the eight major cuisines: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui.
There are Chinese, Western and Japanese food, all kinds of delicacies, including flying things in the sky and swimming things in the water, and seasonal fruits are prominently listed.

Moreover, three meals a day are all free. Considering that some colleagues may work overtime late at night, midnight snacks are provided after 10 pm.

Several employees swallowed their saliva unconsciously while listening to this. They all felt hungry after listening to this and wanted to eat it right now.
At the second stop, everyone lived up to their duties and randomly went to the nearest annex building to see the office area they would move into next month.

There is no ceiling, exposed but neatly designed pipes, and panoramic enclosed floor-to-ceiling windows, still following the minimalist industrial style.

One person occupies two spacious workstations, and the horizontal partition is high enough to ensure the privacy of employees. There is no vertical partition in the middle, which makes communication convenient and very user-friendly.

"Hey, the chair here doesn't seem as good as the one we are sitting on now. There is not even a headrest. Bad review!" said one of the friends.

"How about you take a look at the brand of this chair first?"

“Fuck, Herman Miller”

“This one is worth tens of thousands.”

"But there is no pillow. Students who are used to taking a nap can't always climb on the table to sleep. If they do this for a long time, their lumbar and cervical vertebrae will not be able to bear it."

The administrative lady nearby heard the conversation between the students, squatted down, and quietly pulled out a folding bed from the other side of the cabinet under a workstation.
Then he took out earplugs, eye masks, thin blankets and memory foam pillows from the drawer.
They are armed to the teeth.

The mouths of these little friends became bigger and bigger, and finally, they all gave the cameraman at the back a thumbs up and clicked the "like" button.

Perhaps in other companies, if there is a bed at your workstation, don’t worry, the company provides it for you to sleep in the company after working overtime, and then continue working the next day.

The kind that builds a shack next to the mill, and when they get tired of grinding, they just sleep next to it, and then continue grinding when they wake up.
On the other side, it’s just to make everyone’s lunch break more efficient and make employees more comfortable.

In addition to most of the office area on each floor, there is also a snack and beverage leisure area, a mother's room, a small first aid kit, etc., and all kinds of facilities for employees are available.

Then they ran to the legendary aerial playground on the top floor, which had an international standard runway and a football field inside.

According to the young lady, there are varying numbers of basketball, badminton, volleyball and even tennis courts on the rooftops of the other buildings.

Everyone looked at the raised and reinforced guardrails around and realized that the safety measures were in place, so it was safe to exercise here.

Well, how can I describe the level of peace of mind? Even if someone dies suddenly on the other side, no one will jump off the building, because the difficulty of jumping off the building here is no less than escaping from prison.

After coming out of the office building, they set their third stop at the most discussed place on the intranet forum that they had been eyeing, the Other Shore Space.

The first phase of the Bi'an Technology Park appears to have six buildings on the surface, but in fact it has seven buildings. The main building in the middle is made up of two buildings connected together, with sky corridors at the middle, middle and low levels.

But there is a unique building in the corner of these six buildings. This is the other side of the space, which is actually a seven-story building with six floors above and one floor below.

They jokingly called this small building the Forget-Sorrow House on the Other Shore.

If you don’t understand, just read the introduction of each layer.

The basement floor is a bar where employees gather and chat.

The first floor is a leisure and entertainment area with facilities such as billiards, table tennis, and board games.

The second-floor gym is exclusively for weightlifters.

The third and fourth floors are both e-sports rooms. There are nearly 500 computers on the two floors in total, and the computer desks and chairs are fully equipped. Let’s put it this way, if the owner of the largest Internet cafe in Beijing saw this, he would probably shed tears of envy.

There is a karaoke room on the fifth floor and a cinema on the sixth floor.

After browsing around, these friends finally chose to play in the e-sports room for a while. It was like traveling through time and space, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

They know why it is called Wangyoufang
They came out of Wangyoufang and were notified that the bosses had retreated, so this group of people attacked the heart of the other side, which is the main building of the other side Science and Technology Park.

In fact, the main building and the annex building are basically the same, and the facilities are almost the same.

If you have to say something different, there is one, and that is the rooftop, where there is a helipad for two helicopters. However, they didn't see any helicopters on the helipad, which made them a little disappointed.

But when they wanted to visit the rooftop of another building, the administrative lady looked a little embarrassed.

This aroused their strong curiosity. After repeated requests, the young lady thought about it and made a phone call to ask for instructions. A few minutes later, after getting permission, she took them to the roof.

When these people saw the scenery from the top floor, they couldn't help but exclaim, including the administrative lady, whose eyes were filled with shock and yearning.

They saw rockeries everywhere, winding streams flowing, and a courtyard full of Chinese garden style, which made them feel as if they had traveled from the future city to ancient Suzhou and Hangzhou.

There is a huge courtyard deep in the garden. Is this a Siheyuan?
There is no doubt that this must be the boss's temporary bedroom.

Of course, the interior of the courtyard house is locked, but through the window you can see the decoration style inside, which is very modern.

However, when these people looked at the large round bed in one room that could accommodate at least several people, they fell into deep thought.
Does the boss have a very unrestrained sleeping posture?
I don’t know what the administrative lady was thinking about, a blush appeared on her cheeks, making her look even more beautiful.

On the last leg of their trip, for safety reasons, they stopped on a street to look at the Phase II of the Bian'an Technology Park across the street. There were ten buildings under construction there, which would be dormitories for the employees.

It is said that it can provide accommodation for 1 employees, but the company has not yet announced the specific policies.

Living in the imperial capital is not easy!
For single employees who don’t own a house, this is their biggest hope.

After all, the largest part of their salary expenditure is rent, although the current salary structure provides rental subsidies to provide some of the financial support.

But it’s not as comfortable as living in the staff dormitory. The company is just across the street and only takes 5 minutes to walk.

That night, these friends compiled a "new home travel" guide with videos, photos, and text.

When this strategy appeared on the Bi'an intranet forum, all the Bi'an employees were so envious that they screamed with envy.

Although Wucai City and several surrounding office buildings of Bian Technology appear to show signs of age on the surface, the office environment inside is also the best among IT companies.

Before, employees of other large companies joked at work that the other side was the shell of a tractor and the engine of a Ferrari.

But now they looked at the engine of the Ferrari and sighed silently. It was no wonder that they were fickle, it was just that the new home was too domineering.

There is no comparison between the two.

They have already started imagining their wonderful working life in their new home next month. The only drawback is that it is a bit far from where they live.

Many employees who rent houses have already thought about moving.
At the same time, online media also reported on the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the first phase of the Bi'an Science and Technology Park, and some interior scenes were also disclosed by the media.

"After two years of drifting in Beijing, I finally settled down in Beijing!"

"What is it like to build a company into a landmark building? Let me tell you~"

"One article explains all kinds of high-tech in the other side science park"

"Our city's XX leaders attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Bi'an Science and Technology Park and conducted visits and exchanges"

"Employee representatives attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony, setting a precedent on the other side!"

"Today, Chen Mo, Chairman and CEO of Bi'an Technology Group, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for his new address and said,

Mobile Internet and internationalization are important directions for Bi'an's future growth. After the completion of Bi'an Science and Technology Park, on the one hand, it will become Bi'an's base for the research and development of mobile Internet technology, and on the other hand, it will also become a bridgehead for Bi'an to radiate the international market.

With the help of Beijing's unique talent and geographical advantages and the strong support of the government, Bi'an is confident that it will become the leader of Internet innovation and technology companies and contribute to the economic development of Beijing and even the country. "

Whether you are a working person or a college student, after reading the relevant news, you will be impressed by the wealth of the other side, and at the same time, you will envy the environment in the photos and feel that even world-class giants are no more than this.

It feels like working there is like working on the emperor's golden keyboard.
Many prospective Ivy League college candidates feel like a bucket of chicken soup has been poured over their heads for no apparent reason.

After receiving the relevant leaders, Chen Mo did not care about the relevant public opinion, but set off to Shanghai
On December 12, there was a teahouse near the center of the Bund in Shanghai.

In an elegant house, two men were drinking tea and chatting, with extraordinary demeanor.

Due to the excellent geographical location of the teahouse, the view from inside is very broad, and you can have a panoramic view of the foreign land and a century of luxury.

"Brother Chen, I'm glad you came here in person, but I don't see any sincerity in the price you offered."
