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

Chapter 439: Flirting with Ningning and collecting Mengmeng

For some people, when they reach a certain level in their profession or class, they can die if they just live on the superficial salary.

Even though their salaries are less than 10,000 yuan, it does not stop these people from wearing famous watches, luxury goods, living in big houses, and enjoying bourgeois treatment with a working-class salary.

From time to time, netizens with disciplinary attributes will discover clues in some news report pictures and expose them. The result will only make these people learn to bide their time and not show off their wealth.

The same goes for some corporate CEOs. Their annual salary of millions is just a small amount of money on the surface. If they really rely on this, they will starve to death.

But most of the bosses are just small Karami in Lao Ma's eyes. They claim to have an annual salary of 1 yuan, and when they are short of money, they can just cash out a fraction of their shares, which can be tens of billions.

Even Mr. Lei has a gift package worth 99 billion.

Even though Chen Mo holds more than half of the shares in the Bi'an Group, his annual salary is even lower than Lao Ma's. That is, he does not receive a salary. The bulk of his annual income comes from the group's year-end dividends, and he is very restrained in taking only 1%.

Because no matter how much money he is given, he can feed his entire family and have everything they need, but he has no place to spend it. He can't just build an island and have parties everywhere, his waist can't take it.

When material things reach a certain stage, there is really not much pursuit. Money will become numbers and it is useless to waste it. It is better to treat employees as rewards and provide benefits to users. He pursues emotional value and a sense of accomplishment, which is a spiritual pursuit.

The profits of other companies are generally divided into 80% and 20%, with the management taking 80% and the employees taking 20%. Perhaps this ratio is still too conservative.

On the other hand, it's the other way around, with the profit split 20% and 80% respectively. He and the management take 20%, and most of the profits go to the employees and are fed back to users.

This is just the year-end dividend of the group's net profit, which is the distribution principle of the year-end bonus. Other salaries and benefits are included in the revenue.

For example, WeChat has not yet embedded any advertisements and continues to increase its investment in technology optimization to provide a better user experience. This has gradually become a moat for other mobile social software such as WeChat.

For example, Zhiyan's commercial recruitment earns most of its revenue from recruiting companies. For Zhiyou, the monthly membership fee of 9.9 does not include any other hidden additional fees. After more than half a year of commercialization, the traditional recruitment companies are almost destroyed. There are even media reports that Bi'an is rectifying the recruitment market.

For example, AB Station, Toutiao, and official accounts are all provided free of charge. They basically do not make money from users, but from merchants.

For example, in games, civilians or zero-paying players can have a good gaming experience if they play the stand-alone version, and the money they earn is from those paying players.

There are countless situations.

Sometimes Chen Mo even feels that Bi'an is not a technology company, but rather a crowdfunding company, which absorbs money from the market and divides it into four parts: one part for employees, one part for users, and one part for research and development.
Eventually, the remaining funds will continue to be invested in the overall development of the group.

After Chen Mo came back to his senses, he had unknowingly walked downstairs to the community. He looked up inadvertently and found that the room on his floor was actually lit with a dim light, which looked a bit warm.

Besides Chen Mo himself, there are only two people who know the password of his house, Wu Ma who is in charge of housework and his cute little apprentice Qi Mengmeng.

And since Wu Ma only cleans his house during the day, the answer is obvious.

But it must be said, when he returned home and someone left a light on for him, this feeling still made Chen Mo feel some strange emotions.

After unlocking and opening the door, Chen Mo was about to change his shoes when he heard a commotion in the living room, followed by cries of "Ouch!"

Chen Mo could imagine that the girl was in a hurry and must have bumped into something again. Then she poked her head out and was full of surprise when she saw him. She smiled and said, "Master, you are finally back."

"Knowing it's me, can you please put down that baseball bat behind you?"

"I'm here to help you look after your house, in case bad guys break in~"

Afterwards, Chen Mo listened to Qi Mengmeng telling about her experience of "waiting for you" here these days, "I was worried because I couldn't get through on your phone, but I didn't dare to show it in the company for fear of affecting everyone, so I could only wait for you here every day.

Your house is empty. These past two days, my mind is full of clips from Final Destination and The Grudge. It’s so scary.”

Qi Mengmeng was about to cry as she spoke, like a kitten abandoned by its owner.
Chen Mo has always known that this girl admires him. He knew it in his previous life. However, this time, as he became more and more outstanding, this attachment became more serious.

Chen Mo is 26 years old this year, and if I remember correctly, Qi Mengmeng is years old this year.
He looked at Qi Mengmeng, who had a soft, sweet face and unrivaled youth. She looked no different from a college student. His gaze moved downwards. Well, she was indeed grown up. She could even be described as tolerant and broad-minded.

If there are flowers to be picked, you must pick them. If you don’t pick them, let them hang on the southeast branches. I am not Liuxia Hui.

Chen Mo's heart was set, and he said,

"Meng Meng, as the saying goes, once a teacher, a father for life. Your Master knows your feelings. From now on, we..."

After listening to Chen Mo's thoughts, Qi Mengmeng opened her red lips slightly, her eyes full of excitement and relief. She had finally waited for the promise she had been waiting for for a long time. Although there were some differences in the details, it didn't matter.
"It may be a little painful, just bear with it for a while, it will be fine in a while."

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts. Master, please be gentler."

"You can't even bear this little pain, what will you do later? Alright~" Chen Mo threw the iodine stick into the trash can and clapped his hands, "You're so old and still so irritable that you can even break your knee. No one else can do that."

"I'm in a hurry!"

Late night
"Hi Mengmeng, stand up~~ Let's go over there."

"Master, slow down."

"Don't call me Master"

".Um?"

"Call Dad!"

The next day, Chen Mo was nearly an hour late for work, which was unusual for him. He had no choice but to finally understand that the statement "the king will not attend court from now on" was indeed a disastrous one.

Seeing the boss coming in, Leng Ning put her heart at ease, thinking that the boss was missing again. At the same time, she looked at the boss who was rubbing his waist from time to time with some suspicion, and always felt that there was something wrong with this guy.
However, at this time, Chen Mo was physically disabled but mentally strong, and he was full of fighting spirit. He devoted himself to his work without distraction.

First, I spent an hour combining the technical support plan of 12306 with some features I remembered, and made some key suggestions, such as combining the Kunlun Mirror protection system to prevent plug-ins and malware from swiping tickets, adding a queuing mechanism, simplifying the ticket-grabbing process, and humanizing operations.

In fact, there are several reasons why 12306 is stuck. In addition to the fact that the system is indeed poor, the large number of people is one factor, and more importantly, the ticket-swiping software launched by Zhixing and Ctrip has occupied a large amount of resources.

After all, no matter how fast a person's reaction speed is, it can't be faster than a computer. Instead of doing this, why not do it yourself, turn other people's paths into your own, and leave others with no way to go.

Of course, the idea is good, but we still need to battle with the Ministry of Railways to determine the extent to which it can be achieved. Besides, the money has not been discussed and the contract has not been signed yet.

Anyway, the leader won't stand him up, so he should be prepared.

After finishing the document, Chen Mo sent it to Wang Jian.

Then Chen Mo began to look at the acceptance report submitted by Sun Ziwei. This was the final version before the PC and APP of Game Home (GHome) were launched.

Now, before any product of the Bian'an Group goes online, it needs Chen Mo's final acceptance, and only after passing the acceptance can it go online.

However, the products that are usually placed in front of him are all key projects of the group, and they are the final versions that have undergone countless tests and improvements.

Game circle: an interactive discussion area formed by players based on games.

Game Base: The headquarters for game query and download.

Game ratings and reviews area.

Gamer: Various records of players in the game, such as achievements, battle records and other information.

There are also some general trophies, points redeemable for benefits, and so on.

Chen Mo was very satisfied as he watched the idea in his mind turn into reality on the screen.

However, there are still some areas that need to be improved, such as the subsequent linkage with live broadcast, etc., which need to be reserved.
"Ningning, come here~"

Chen Mo called Leng Ning to his side, and then experienced the product himself, and told him his thoughts about it. Leng Ning was responsible for taking notes, which was also his way of cultivating Leng Ning's ability in this area.

As a demanding young man who upholds the Five Legitimacy and Four Beauties of Socialism, he also has requirements for the woman next to him.

The vases that you can buy with money are disposable ones.

As someone close to him and his future bedmate, Leng Ning has great potential for development both at work and in other areas.

Being a secretary is obviously not enough. Leng Ning still needs to improve her work ability. This is why she was sent out to gain experience for half a year last year. Moreover, she has been running e-commerce business successfully and has not complained about being transferred. She has a very positive attitude, which is not easy. You know, even the crown prince of Huawei did not understand Mr. Ren's painstaking efforts, which led to the ruin of a good situation.
Now Leng Ning also needs to understand the business situation of all aspects of the group. Although it may not reach Chen Mo's level, at least he needs to know the general situation.

In order to become the secretary of the board of directors and a permanent member of Tianji Pavilion in the future, Chen Mo has already started training.

When Chen Mo is in working mode, he clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs, is not interested in romantic affairs and is very focused, which is one of the necessary conditions for success. On the contrary, Leng Ning once stared at Chen Mo in a daze and was slapped on the face by the latter as a punishment.

After reading the acceptance report that Leng Ning had compiled based on his own ideas, Chen Mo modified some parts and let him digest and summarize it on his own.

He looked up at the time and found that the task that he had originally estimated to be completed in an hour was actually completed in less than 1 minutes. This puzzled Chen Mo. It makes sense that it makes sense that men and women working together are less tiring.

Somehow my work efficiency has indeed improved a little.

In fact, the Game House project is a product created based on the prototype given by Steam, combining some features of NetEase Da Shen and King's Camp.

As a company that started out as a game company, how can Bi'an not have its own basic base? This game platform will carry such a function.

As a game platform, how can Game Home not have a huge number of games? This is its moat and core competitiveness.

Stand-alone games, 3A games, online games, and mobile games are all included in the strike range, Chen Mo wants them all!

For this, Sun Ziwei is in charge of product development at the Beyond Game side, while Zhang Chao is flying around the country and abroad with the relevant team to negotiate agency and authorization, and expand the game content after the launch of Game Home. Otherwise, after the launch, there will only be Beyond games for self-entertainment, and then there will be little point in him doing this.
It's like opening a brothel. There are only a few girls, and the business won't last long. It still needs all kinds of top girls to join.
For this purpose, Zhang Chao started working on this matter before the New Year. Although he had to make a trip to Japan in the middle, the overall progress was rapid and the results were fruitful.

As the work is coming to an end, Zhang Chao’s latest work report is a summary.

Domestically:

The stand-alone game market has been basically taken over. After all, piracy is rampant in the country now. Those game developers were foolish to hear that there are still people who buy genuine copyrights, and provide sales channels with commissions. They would sign the terms as long as they had money, and they were eager to hand it over to them. Moreover, they were familiar with the name of Bi'an.

In this way, many classic games that Chen Mo is familiar with, such as the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series, the "Xuan-yuan Sword" series, the "Three Kingdoms" series, the "Swordsman Love" series, etc., were all acquired by Bi'an.

For online games and mobile games, some small and medium-sized enterprises are easy to talk to, but companies such as NetEase, Shanda, and Giant are in an ambiguous wait-and-see stage. Of course, Tencent will definitely not go, unless one day the last name is Chen
With the assistance of Li Jianchao, who is in charge of overseas business of Bi'an, the combination of the two super powers is relatively difficult. Some game manufacturers can basically do anything as long as the money is in place, including Koei Tecmo (Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dynasty Warriors series);

SNK (Samurai Shodown, King of Fighters series);

Konami (Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pro Evolution Soccer series);

Capcom (Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry, Street Fighter series);

EA (Need for Speed, Battlefield, FIFA series);

Ubisoft (Might and Magic, Assassin's Creed), etc.
There are also a few stubborn old men who refuse to change their ways, such as Blizzard, because they are in a honeymoon period with NetEase, and Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony, who are very aloof.
Up to now, the product development cost of Game Home is no more than tens of millions, but since Bi'an's cooperation on these game copyrights is exclusive in China, the cumulative investment has reached 3.3 million yuan.

This investment of money has resulted in nearly a thousand well-known games from home and abroad. Of course, some console games have signed PC porting agreements and have begun the development of PC version porting.

During this period, Li Jianchao has been deeply involved in overseas markets. Now the strategic focus there has shifted from game content to building relationships with major game manufacturers. At the same time, through various activities and public opinions, he has made the Bi'an brand deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in order to lay out and pave the way for various products when the 4G era arrives.

Currently, 40% of the revenue of the Bi'an Group comes from overseas. The Middle East, Southeast Asia and North America are the main revenue sources. Of course, the bulk of overseas revenue still comes from the gaming business.

WeChat, however, has been subject to suppression by local governments abroad and has been kept in a suppressed state, basically ranking between 3rd and 5th in its field in various regions.

Overall, Li Jianchao's overall performance was still effective.

Yesterday, Zhou Shouzi said that the revenue of Bi'an was weak. Chen Mo knew the seriousness of it. Now some media outside have begun to look down on Bi'an. They often say that their leader is too wasteful and will not survive the winter. The cash flow of the group is worrying. They are not optimistic about the business, and so on.
But Chen Mo is not too worried. He is confident in the subsequent products and the group's revenue can fully support it until it takes off again.
By then, those who are fanning the flames should be silenced.

You should know that the overall valuation of the Bi'an Group is nearly 2000 billion. If a company of this size releases news of financing and listing, I wouldn't say it will surpass BAT, but at least it is a foregone conclusion that it will be on par with them.

Huaxia Internet immediately became BATB. Although there was actually such a trend, it was ultimately not justified.

Chen Mo might just become a strong contender for the title of China's richest Internet billionaire.

The main body of the Bi'an Group is neither listed nor raising funds, which is seen as stupid behavior by some capital institutions in the industry. There are also people who are indifferent in the face of huge amounts of money, and they cannot understand why they cannot get along with money.

During the lunch break at noon, Chen Mo and Leng Ning had a romantic meal in the office.

Before work hours in the afternoon, Zhou Shouzi and Chen Tong suddenly visited together and broke up the couple.

After coming in, Zhou Shouzi saw the boss washing his face and was the first to speak, "Boss, something happened on Weibo."

Chen Mo remained calm, walked back to his seat, and extended his hand to the person opposite him, "You two sit down, and tell me in detail~"

"Just now, we were continuing to push forward the Weibo investment with Sina, but they reversed the previous tug-of-war and directly rejected our offer. We offered a 30% premium, 3% of the shares for $10 million, but Cao Guowei rejected it without blinking an eye.
I'm afraid there are some changes here that we don't know about."

As a senior executive who had worked at Sina for more than a decade, Chen Tong played a matchmaking role and had a lot of internal knowledge. This enabled him to force the situation back to balance when Alibaba had already entered the game.

But even Chen Tong couldn't see clearly how the situation was developing, so he came over with Zhou Shouzi to explain the situation, and added to Zhou Shouzi's answer,

"Based on my understanding of Lao Cha (Sina CEO Cao Guowei), Mr. Zhou and I think there are only two possibilities. One is that Lao Cha is determined to stick to his guns and hold on to the price to make a big profit when Sina Weibo goes public. The other possibility is that Alibaba offered him more than he had expected, so he made a decision on the spot."

Chen Mo looked at Chen Tong, "Based on your personal understanding of Lao Cha, which one is more likely?"

"For the latter, maybe Chad will have the mentality of sitting back and reaping the benefits, but he won't be so greedy. If the stock price falls below the IPO price after listing, he won't be able to sell it at a good price. He won't ignore this risk.

Although it is speculation, I think the probability is not low. First, I know Lao Cha relatively well. Another reason is that I have verified it through some internal information of Sina. Lao Ma visited Sina twice in just a few days. It seems a bit false to say that there is nothing going on. "

Zhou Shouzi asked, "Boss, should we follow or not? You need to set a rule. If we follow, we estimate that it will cost at least 5 million U.S. dollars!"

"US$5 million? That's more than 30 billion, which is bullshit. The return on investment is too poor. The cash flow from the other side is directly reduced by half. The risk is too high. And if I lose Sina Weibo, I still have Zhihu, WeChat official accounts, and Toutiao.
There are many things you can do with this money, but if you invest in the three products mentioned above, you might be able to make them as big as Weibo. To put it another way, the funds are enough for Ele.me to fight against the money-burning war between Ele.me and Didi Chuxing. "

"Yeah, that's what we both meant! Speaking of spending money, the business plans for Ele.me and Taxi Travel are ready."

Zhou Shouzi handed over two documents.

Chen Mo opened it and took a look. The business document was written in a very professional manner. This was the good point about Zhou Shouzi. Not only was he good at finance, he also had a deep understanding of the business. It was no exaggeration to say that he was an expert in many fields. He was a jack of all trades and had extremely high energy. He was an ambitious man who was not content with the status quo.

Looking at the above amounts, Ele.me and Didi Chuxing were both acquired by Bi'an in the A round. If they want to raise funds now, both are in the B round. Zhou Shouzi designed the financing plan based on the market conditions, the current actual business development situation and the foreseeable money burning.

The marked financing amount for Ele.me's Series B round is 6000 million, and the financing scale for Didi Chuxing is 8000 million, both in US dollars.

In fact, comparing the current development status of the two companies, Ele.me is now larger in scale and has a higher valuation, so it should have a larger amount of financing.

However, Zhou Shouzi took into consideration that the subsequent money-burning cost of the online car-hailing market would be higher than that of food delivery, so he raised the price an extra level. After all, valuations can be increased through some means.

The reason why these two plans came out so quickly made Zhou Shouzi feel that it was a bit like shooting the bullet first and then drawing the target.

He could sense from some of his boss's words that he seemed to only care about the completeness of the financing process, and his plan was just a reference.

Then he heard the boss nod and say,

"It's well written. I'll put it here first. You guys go and get busy. I'll be funded. Next month might be a bit hard. Come on a business trip with me. Lao Chen (Chen Tong), you can sync up with Zhang Xiaolong about Sina's situation."

"ok!" "good!"

After the two of them left, Chen Mo sent an email directly to Zhang Xiaolong. The content contained only a few words, "Be prepared for WeChat to completely block Weibo, and wait for orders."

In fact, there have been some signs or omens on Sina Weibo since last week, such as launching a cooperative product "Showcase Recommendation" with Alibaba. Users can post links and pictures of Taobao products on Weibo and jump to Taobao seamlessly.

Moreover, the hyperlink from Taobao to Weibo is smooth and unobstructed.

On the contrary, sharing WeChat-related information on Weibo began to be blocked, just like what happened to WeChat and QQ before.

In the business world, there is not only human relationships but also fighting and killing.

Chen Mo could clearly feel that the other side was now caught in a multi-line battle. In that case, let’s do it.

As the main battlefield, Ele.me and Didi Chuxing have raised a total of RMB 5 million in financing. Chen Mo can afford this money, but what he cares more about is using this opportunity to attract as many allies as possible.

He took out his cell phone and searched the address book.
I started to make a few phone calls to some friends in the investment circle.
I guess they are waiting impatiently.
