Rebirth of the era of struggle

Chapter 527 Our Children?
After parting from Guan Guanyue, Lu Yang drove to the Shanhai Building in the new district.

Lu Xiaoyu's office.

Still has a strong coffee flavor.

Lu Yang looked at classmate Xiaoyu who was working, and felt a little distressed. Classmate Xiaoyu now has dark circles under her eyes, and she is still a girl in her early twenties.

"Are you done?"

Seeing Lu Xiaoyu stop what he was doing, Lu Yang asked.

Lu Xiaoyu stood up holding the water glass, intending to fetch some water.

"Well, it's almost there."

After receiving the hot water and returning, Lu Xiaoyu put the cup in front of the desk, took out a bag of instant coffee from the coffee box beside him, opened it, poured it into the cup, and stirred it with the spoon inside the cup.

Then he opened the drawer again, took out a file bag and threw it in front of Lu Yang, saying: "It was the last time Penguin wanted to invest, I talked with them according to the conditions you mentioned, so far, it seems that it is very close to theirs." The bottom line..."

"Is it so efficient?"

Lu Yang was slightly surprised.

He thought that the two sides had been fighting for a long time before, but he didn't expect Lu Xiaoyu to touch the opponent's bottom line so quickly.

He opened the file bag and pulled out a stack of files.

Lu Xiaoyu took a sip of hot water and said, "Smartphones are becoming more and more popular now, and the traffic on the mobile side of Station C is increasing every day, and it will soon catch up with the PC side, especially CC short videos. In two years, there will definitely be a big explosion in traffic, and I think Penguin is a little anxious."

Lu Yang carefully looked at the contents of the document.

After reading it, he extracted the key data.

Equity swap, this is one of them.

Penguin is willing to exchange 30.00% equity of WeChat for 30.00% equity of CC Short Video. In addition, on this basis, it needs to pay an additional US$[-] million to Shanhai Group.

50 million U.S. dollars, almost 30.00 billion RMB, which is similar to Penguin’s previous offer. The 30% stake in WeChat was priced at [-] billion.

Compared with today's market, this price is obviously higher.

But everything should not only look at the present, but also look at the future.

Even if the CC short video can be made to the same level as Douyin, it is not much different from WeChat, and the two can barely be regarded as the existence of the next level.

It's just that one is a short video application and the other is a social software.

The [-] million US dollars can be regarded as a waste of money.

"I think so."

Lu Yang nodded.

"Are you willing? Now CC short video, but our most precious child."

Lu Xiaoyu put down the cup and confirmed.

"Our child?"

Lu Yang froze for a moment.

What does Lu Xiaoyu mean? She wants a child?

This will not work.

Hearing Lu Yang's emphasis, Lu Xiaoyu realized that she had said the wrong thing. She blushed immediately, looked at Lu Yang angrily and said, "I'm talking business with you, what are you talking about?"

"What do you call me talking nonsense, you clearly said it yourself."

"You know, that's not what I meant."

"OK OK."

Lu Yang smiled.

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. Besides, it's not really giving up the child to someone else. We still have absolute control. WeChat is not bad. I think the trend will not be much less traffic than Penguin in the future. The two parties are just sharing the risk. That's all..."

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

This is the skill most needed to be mastered by a successful entrepreneur.

Even with the advantage of foresight, Lu Yang can't guarantee that CC short videos can go smoothly as before, and eventually develop to the scale of Douyin, and even go abroad.

With the equity of WeChat, even if the CC short video becomes pornographic and is replaced by other software in the future, they can still take it easy... Moreover, Lu Yang knows where his biggest threat comes from.

It's nothing more than that penguin.

Maybe now, they can't spare the energy to fight against station C, but in the future, once they find him a chance, they will never give up such a big piece of fat. The industry of paraquat is not just talk.

After all, they have too many cards in their hands.

But after the exchange of shares, it is different. With this 30.00% of the shares, Penguin has no need to waste time and rebuild a short video platform. After all, it is enough to make money, not shabby...

CC short video can also avoid being suddenly sanctioned in the era of mobile traffic explosion. After all, if you cannot log in with Penguin and WeChat, it is still relatively inconvenient for users.

Especially in the past five or six years.

As for other Internet companies, Lu Yang is not worried. Ali is the overlord in the field of e-commerce, but in the entertainment sector, it has almost become a joke. If you don't interfere, he will collapse by himself, don't worry.

As for Capital Today, Byte, just pay more attention to these. In the short term, they can make a connotation joke, which will be good, and it will not affect them.

From this point of view, the situation is still very good.

"Well, if you agree, I'll contact them to make an appointment."

Lu Xiaoyu said.

Lu Yang put the document back into the document bag, threw it to Lu Xiaoyu, and said, "Yes, we have an appointment, just tell me."

Lu Xiaoyu put the document bag back into the drawer, looked at Lu Yang, and asked curiously: "Last time you said that if you got the money, you would be useful, now you can tell me what you plan to do."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Register another company called Shanhai Capital."

"understood."

Lu Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows lightly, knowing what Lu Yang was thinking.

The boss intends to use the money to invest.

That's a good idea.

After talking about the business, it was some private topics. Lu Yang walked across to Lu Xiaoyu, sat on the desk, and asked, "Student Xiaoyu, did you go back to school two days ago?"

"Ok?"

Lu Xiaoyu was a little surprised, but also a little skeptical.

"how do you know?"

"I saw you. It was in the western restaurant of the school. At that time, you were eating with a handsome boy. If you don't tell me, who is he?"

Lu Yang didn't mention Lu Xiaobai, after all, it's not time for that little spy to be exposed yet.

"Ah." Lu Xiaoyu was a little flustered, and hastily explained: "Don't get me wrong, he is a friend of my brother's."

"Your brother's friend, do you still need you to accompany me for dinner?"

Lu Yang looked down at Lu Xiaoyu from above.

Those scrutinizing eyes made Xiaoyu unable to hold back.

She couldn't say, go on a blind date by herself.

Shame.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyu was silent, Lu Yang said calmly: "Everything has its own season, and if it opens up too early, it will wither too early. Student Xiaoyu, you are still young, and it is not time to fall in love. You You must focus on work, because you are doing a great cause that can change the world, and the Huns are still alive, how can you start a family? In the future, you will become famous, and your name will last forever, that Prince Charming will definitely come to you on the colorful auspicious clouds."

"Boss, you are good at pretending."

Lu Xiaoyu covered her mouth and giggled. .

……

Walking out of the office, Lu Yang felt a little sad.

Classmate Xiaoyu has begun to disbelieve his poisonous chicken soup, which is not good news.

"boss."

Zhang Bin was patrolling at the entrance of the company, and when he saw Lu Yang coming out, he trotted over.

"Seeing your flushed face, you are in a good mood."

Lu Yang smiled.

"Drag the boss for your blessing, and you have a good life."

Zhang Bin said with a smile.

He is the captain of the security guard, and his monthly income is [-] yuan including the bonus. This is not as comfortable as when he was in Miaocun. The key is that the company returned the single room prepared for him and Song Huhu, and even the rent was saved. Two meals a day are supplemented by meals, and if you don’t give any pocket money, you can save as much as you earn. Of course, these days are comfortable.

"Have you bought a ticket for the Chinese New Year?"

Lu Yang asked.

Zhang Bin shook his head and said, "Have you bought this yet?"

"Why don't you buy it, don't book a ticket, be careful not to go back, if you can't, you can ask other people, just book online, it's very simple..."

Zhang Bin said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law came here a few days ago and lives with me now. I don't plan to go back this year. I discussed it with the old squad leader. This year he will go back for the New Year. I will stay there for a few days... With such good benefits from the company, if we get thieves during the Chinese New Year, then our group will be ashamed to face others."

"It's not that serious. When it's time for a holiday, it's a vacation. The company doesn't have anything valuable, so it won't be specially missed by thieves." Lu Yang smiled: "By the way, where is the money? Are you still patrolling the back door?"

Since Lu Yang joined the company, the security guards have encountered several of them, but they haven't seen Qianman.

His mother kept telling him to take good care of Qianman, but Lu Yang kept it in mind, he didn't come to the company very often, if he did, he would definitely have to see that kid.

"He..." Zhang Bin looked at the neighborhood opposite, and said, "He is resting today. When I went back at noon, I saw that kid wandering around the construction site. I don't know what he was doing."

Lu Yang waved his hand: "That's fine, I'll go and have a look, you go and get busy."

After driving out of the park, after crossing a road, we arrived at the opposite community. Lu Yang first went to the dormitory to check. Sure enough, as Zhang Bin said, the guy with money was not in the dormitory.

Qian Man's dormitory is for two people, one is him, and the other is Lin Erhu. However, Lin Erhu has to run with Lu Yang, so he often doesn't go back to the company and rarely goes back to the dormitory.

"This guy, why are you wandering around the construction site?"

Lu Yang was speechless.

If he hasn't come back yet, it's probably what Zhang Bin said, and he's still at the construction site.

Half of this community has been built and was bought by their company, and the other half is under construction. However, for some reason, work has been suspended for a while. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyu bought existing houses at that time. According to the current situation As for the progress of the project, we have to wait until all the buildings over there are built, and we don't know that it will be the year of the monkey.

You can never buy the off-plan houses in Greentown. You never know why the developer will run away. This developer has sold so many houses to Station C as staff dormitories. ...

Lu Yang called Qianman.

The bell rang for a while, but no one answered.

"This guy, what did you do?"

Lu Yang frowned, and walked towards the construction site. Manzi didn't answer the phone, so he had to go and look for it.

The construction site is blocked by blue iron sheets, but it is obvious that no one has maintained it for a long time, and iron sheets can be seen everywhere, and outsiders can easily enter.

Inside the construction site, there are many mud pits, large and small.

There are piles of stones and sand everywhere.

There are also mixers, tower cranes, and these engineering equipment.

However, there was no one here, and Lu Yang didn't see Qian Man either.

He called again.

This time someone got through.

"Savage."

Lu Yang shouted.

"What are you doing, why didn't you answer the phone just now?"

"You are his friend, right? Now your friend is with us, come here with 5000 yuan to redeem him." On the other side of the phone, it was not the voice of a barbarian.

Lu Yang's complexion changed slightly, and he asked calmly, "Why do you need to take the money? What's wrong with my friend?"

"Your friend stole something at the construction site, and we caught him on the spot. If you don't give me money, don't think about leaving. Can you do it? I'll call someone else."

"No, no need, you want money, right? I have it here. Where are you?"

Lu Yang asked lightly.

Lu Yang agreed, mainly because he was worried that the other party would hurt Manzi, or call Manzi's family. This situation would make things worse.

"It's in the security booth next to the gate of the construction site, come quickly."

"Okay, you wait."

……

He glanced at the direction of the entrance of the construction site. He entered the construction site through the gap just now, not through the gate. If he had entered through the main entrance just now, he would probably have found the barbarian.

Lu Yang didn't believe that barbarians would come to the construction site to steal things.

Firstly, Manzi is not that kind of person, and secondly, Manzi now earns [-] yuan a month, and the company still takes care of his food, so there is absolutely no need to do such a thing.

but.

He is alone now, and Lu Yang didn't go there recklessly. Judging from the phone call just now, the other party is definitely not alone.

He took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Bin.

"Zhang Bin, something happened to Qian Man, you bring someone here."

"Boss, where are you meeting?"

Qian Bin didn't ask anything at all, his tone was very serious.

"Here at the construction site in the community, I'll wait for you here, bring your batons."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang didn't return to the car to get the money.

Just waiting here slowly.

Construction site security booth.

In the container-like room, Manzi was pressed on the ground in the corner by three or four people. Seeing the yellow-haired man answering the phone with his mobile phone, Manzi was emotional and struggling hard.

The four people holding him were almost thrown away.

One of them hit the Manzi's back hard with a stick. The Manzi suffered from the pain and made a muffled sound before the others held him down firmly.

"Damn, this kid is so strong."

The man holding the stick couldn't help but said.

"You can tell by his physique. He's as black as a briquette. Can't he be strong? Be careful, don't let this guy run away. Just now his friend called and said that he will take money Come here, five thousand, then we will each have one thousand."

Huang Mao looked at the phone and threw it aside in disgust.

One of the barbarians laughed and said, "Brother, you are generous, I didn't expect us to come to see the construction site and make money."

"Who let this idiot deliver it to the door by himself."

Huang Mao sneered.

A few minutes later, there was a creak, like the sound of an iron door opening.

"People should come."

With a happy face, Huang Mao opened the door and walked outside.

Just opened the door.

Huang Mao was dumbfounded.

"Mistake... misunderstanding..."

As soon as the words fell, when the other people in the room didn't understand what was going on, Huang Mao's body flew upside down and hit the ground hard.

At the same time, a group of people wearing security uniforms and holding sticks rushed in from outside.
