Chapter 1685 Successive Listing Plans

In the next year, many companies related to Zhoubuqi will complete their IPOs.

In October this year, the educational institution Xueersi went public.

Wen Zhixia participated in the shareholding, and the current shareholding ratio is about 17%.

In December of this year, Youku will go public in the United States.

In January next year, Taizun Real Estate will go public.

This is a heavyweight industry that Zhou Buqi has arranged for the father-in-law of the Shi family, and it is the key to the Shi family's sudden decline and return to the top.In order to support the development of Taizun Real Estate, Zhou Buqi also lent USD 4 million to Taizun Real Estate in the name of the family fund, which has not yet been repaid.

It was originally said to be listed on the big A-shares, but because of some approval reasons, it chose to go to Hong Kong for listing.

In March next year, Changyou will be listed on NASDAQ;

In April next year, Jieyu Media will be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange;

In May next year, LinkedIn will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and Zhou Buqi will participate in the final round of investment in his own name, holding only 5% of the shares;

In June next year, Yuanwei Group will go public in Hong Kong.

So many companies are queuing up to go public, which shows that the global economic situation has gradually emerged from the haze of the subprime mortgage crisis.Especially in the Internet industry, more and more companies have begun to plan for IPO listing.

On this day, Zhou Buqi went to the International Department of Ziwei Star, and met Liu Qing even at the headquarters of Ziwei Star in the magic capital.

Liu Qing is the president of Ziwei Star's Magic City headquarters. After the organizational structure adjustment, she was included in Ji Zian's corporate development business group.

However, Liu Qing's rank is no lower than Ji Zi'an's, they are both senior vice president executives of M7.The main reason is that Liu Qing still has a part-time job. She is the president of Weiguang Capital, an investment company under Ziweixing.

This "Weiguang Capital" mainly invests in some domestic technology industries, including the smart phone industry chain and the Internet industry.

Fu Sheng is going to the United States to start a business.

Due to the relationship between Zhou and Qi, it is impossible for him to really break away from the big picture of "Ziwei Galaxy".

Zhou Buqi will give him 2 million US dollars and let him go to the United States to do great things!

Among them, 1 million U.S. dollars was donated by Weiguang Capital, a subsidiary of Ziweixing, and the other 1 million U.S. dollars was donated on behalf of his personal Zhou Family Fund.

In the past few days, Zhou Buqi and Fu Sheng have reached a cooperation intention.

The distribution ratio of shares is 4:3:3.

Fu Sheng's entrepreneurial team holds 40% of the shares, Ziweixing's Weiguang Capital holds 30%, and Zhou's Fangfei Capital holds 30% of the shares.

This is a project appointed by Boss Zhou, of course Liu Qing can't object.

So it's settled.

However, she mentioned another thing.

Liu Qing said: "Duowan has had internal discussions and consulted our opinions."

"Play more?"

"Well, the core product is YY."

"I know, YY version of Helo, how is it developing?" This was a business idea formulated by Zhou Buqi back then, and he has not paid much attention to it in the past half a year.

Liu Qing said: "Very good, the strategic cooperation between the two parties has been fully achieved. Relying on the social relations and contacts brought by Helo, YY has already made a great success in the voice broadcasting business. It is said that there are many storytelling broadcasters, The monthly income can reach 40 to [-]. Now there are more than [-] voice broadcasters on YY.”

"How many?"

Zhou Buqi didn't believe it at all, this number was too watery.

Liu Qing smiled, "there should be more than 5000 active broadcasters, anyway, the development is very good. Some time ago, I read their various data indicators for the second quarter, and they are all very good. The number of active users has exceeded 3000 million. "

Zhou Buqi nodded, "That's really good."

Liu Qing said: "In the past few years, the Internet infrastructure has been further improved, and the domestic Internet speed has become faster. YY has plans to launch live video."

Zhou Buqi was very calm, "Well, this is the inevitable direction of the future."

Liu Qing said: "Two years ago, you led the operation. Ziweixing invested 5900 million US dollars successively, took 40% of the shares of Duwan, and reached a deep strategic cooperation relationship. Now, the economic situation is improving, and YY is also After QQ and Helo, it has become the third largest social software in China. The meaning there is now very clear, how will it be listed?"

"IPO?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Isn't it too early? At least we have to wait for the video live broadcast industry to take off, and the capital boom will be the best time to go public."

Liu Qing said: "It's a little early, but we must prepare in advance. Ziwei Star is the major shareholder, holding 40% of the shares. Our opinion is crucial to their listing or not."

Now, Zhou Buqi understood what YY's team meant.

Listing is certain.

However, in what way should it be listed?
Is YY's company playing more to go public on its own, or is it merged into Ziweixing?As the largest social internet giant in China, Ziweixing has a natural attraction to YY.

From the perspective of normal business thinking and strategic design, Ziwei Star already holds 40% of the equity in Duwan, and the industry development of the two parties also complements and promotes. There is no need to separate, and the two can be merged into one!

Ziweixing offered a high price and directly bought the remaining 60% of Duwan's shares.

Let YY completely become a product under Ziweixing.

Replace all the stocks of Duowan with the shares of Ziwei Star, and then when Ziwei Star goes public, the shareholders of Duowan will take advantage of the opportunity to complete the advancement of wealth.

Judging from Ziwei Star's current scale and industry status, whether Duowan can go public independently depends on the entrepreneurial team of Duowan not taking the initiative.Ziweixing has the greatest right to speak.

Ziweixing wanted to annex Duwan, but Duwan simply had no strength to resist.

The point is, is it necessary?

This is Liu Qing's office. It's not too big, about 50 square meters, but it's neat and tidy, full of bright colors, and very feminine. Zhou Buqi sat on the sofa and asked: "What do you think? Yes Should YY be allowed to go public independently, or should it be acquired as a whole?"

Without hesitation, Liu Qing said decisively: "I think I should buy it. YY is developing very smoothly. The YY version of Helo is also the best product in the 'Helo Ecological Family', with more than 3700 million users. Ziweixing There isn’t a product like YY, it’s a complement to our own product mix.”

Zhou Buqi remained silent.

"Ok?"

Liu Qing saw that something was wrong.

Zhou Buqi said: "Whether it is voice live broadcast or video live broadcast, the industry barriers in this field are too weak. This is actually the content industry, and there is no preconceived advantage. Whoever has good content will have an advantage. Once big capital enters the market , it must be the bloody Red Sea market."

The content of the live broadcast industry is mainly the live broadcast level of the anchor.

When the trend comes, excellent anchors are representatives of high-quality content, and they will definitely be crazily sought after by capital, and major live broadcast platforms will continue to offer sky-high salaries to poach people.

Just as the video website industry is booming, the copyright prices of film and television content will skyrocket.

How much does it cost?

In Zhou Buqi's view, this industry has no future, at least in the era of long videos, there is no way out for this industry.
