Media Tycoon since 1999

Chapter 369 51 New Weibo Shareholders

Li Yandao: "Gao Yang, the layout of the 51 Group on the Internet should be similar, right?"

Gao Yang said: "Yes, it's almost done, I'm waiting for you two to establish a 51NB alliance with 51 Group, publicly announce the establishment of a strategic partnership, and then build an Internet industry research institute together.

Afterwards, an Internet industry investment fund can also be initiated to use equity investment to absorb a group of outstanding entrepreneurial companies into the 51NB alliance to form a huge industrial ecosystem.

Our three companies join hands and take a long-term view. If the research and development of basic technologies and cutting-edge applications are carried out, and results are produced, the future will be as stable as Mount Tai.

How about it, would you like to work together? "

Ding Lei thought about it seriously: "I think I can try it, Lao Li, how about you?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Okay, let's try it."

Gao Yangdao: "I suggest holding a press conference in late February or early March to sign a strategic cooperation agreement. How about jointly establishing the 2NB Internet Industry Research Institute in the second half of the year and setting up an industrial investment fund next year?"

Both Ding Lei and Li Yan nodded: "Yes."

Gao Yang said: "Brother Lei, since the three of us have agreed to a strategic cooperation, I suggest that Yiwang's POPO can be sold to 51talk."

Ding Lei laughed instantly: "Good guy, do you really want to play POPO?"

Gao Yang said with a smile: "Brother Lei, Yiwang's POPO is purely for fun, and it doesn't match your main business.

51talk acquired POPO, and after the integration was completed, the user scale immediately increased by an order of magnitude. With the traffic resources of other 51 Group projects, we were able to challenge Goose Factory.

Such integration is beneficial to us all.

The core of 51 Group is a social platform, and the core of Goose Factory is the same. We are all competing for client traffic, and sooner or later there will be a big battle. "

Li Yan smiled and said, "Old Ding, I think what Gao Yang said makes sense. POPO has no strategic value for Yiwang, but it is completely different for 51 Group."

Ding Lei thought about it again, and said with a smile: "It's not impossible, Gao Yang, you want to buy POPO, how much do you plan to pay?"

Gao Yang said: "Brother Lei, we are all brothers now, can you not mention the money, I am still preparing a new project, when the time comes, POPO will be converted into a valuation, and it will be regarded as a capital contribution to this new project, how about it?"

Ding Lei suddenly became curious: "You still have a new project, what project?"

Gao Yang explained the 51 Weibo project, and Ding Lei and Li Yan were stunned for a while.

Ding Lei rubbed his forehead and sighed, "Why do you have so many product ideas in your mind?"

Gao Yang asked with a smile: "Brother Lei, Brother Yan, what do you think of the prospects of a project like Weibo?"

Li Yandao: "How should I put it? The product idea is very good. The combination of social media and media is very good. The product positioning is very clear and fresh, and the audience is also huge. This project is suitable for the development direction of 51 Group. Invest in."

Ding Lei said: "Okay, then Yiwang will use POPO to exchange for the contribution of this microblog. My asking price is not high, and it can be converted into 3000 million investment, how about it? POPO has 1800 million users, so 4000 million is worth it."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Okay, then Baidu also voted 3000 million."

Gao Yang said: "Thank you two big brothers for your support. How about it, Yiwang and Baidu both invested 3000 million, each accounting for 15% of the equity."

Ding Lei's face darkened: "This is equivalent to a project investment of 51 million yuan. Where did your [-] Group get so much money?"

Gao Yang spread his hands: "I can borrow it. Brother Tao can lend me [-] million or [-] million yuan every minute. After the announcement of my investment in Hengsheng Electronics was announced, Brother Tao called me and said he needed funds. Just talk to him ..."

Ding Lei was speechless: "You boy, to make a product like Weibo, investing 1 million is considered a sky-high price, and you still insist on making it [-] million."

Gao Yang said: "Brother Lei, 51 Group must lead the development of this project, and it definitely needs an absolute majority stake. Brother Tao and their Luxshare Seiko will soon increase capital and share, and they will open a company in Pingjiang Industrial Park, Jiangsu Province. new factory.

This time, Luxshare Seiko plans to increase capital and shares by 1 million. I plan to personally invest 2000 million. If you and Yan Ge want to invest, there is no problem.

Luxshare Seiko has developed, and we can cooperate and invest in branded mobile phones in the future.

Luxshare is now backed by Foxconn, and there are too many orders to fill. Such a manufacturing enterprise, as long as there are funds and orders, the business scale will grow quickly.

The stage of doing OEM may pass quickly, and then develop into an ODM enterprise.

At the current speed of China's economic development, such a manufacturing company has sufficient orders and fast enough expansion, and its cash flow will become stronger and stronger. Given four or five years, it may be able to meet the requirements for listing on the A-share market. "

Ding Lei asked curiously, "How much revenue did this company have in 2005?"

Gao Yang said: "It's close to 1 million, and there are more than a dozen customers. The top five customers account for about 88% of the sales orders, of which Foxconn accounts for more than 50%.

After the factory in Pingjiang reaches production capacity, its revenue will soon exceed [-] million. "

Li Yan asked again: "Gao Yang, what kind of products does this company produce, and what is the profit margin?"

Gao Yangdao: "The main business is the production of connectors. There are too many types of this thing and its applications are very wide. If calculated by product model, it is estimated that there are several million types, and the market size is very large.

I heard from Brother Tao that the net profit margin of Luxshare Seiko is probably close to 10%. "

Ding Lei laughed and said, "The profit margin is still a little lower."

Gao Yang said: "My brother, this is a manufacturing industry, just like the current PC market that has been smashed to death, Lenovo's level is known for its cost control, including its brand premium, it can't guarantee 10 A point of net profit margin.

The advantage of the manufacturing industry is that the scale can continue to expand, and it depends on the scale to win. "

Ding Lei thought about it: "Okay, let's talk about it another day. I will also invest 2000 million in my own name to try the water of the manufacturing industry."

Li Yandao: "Then I will also invest 2000 million in my own name, Gao Yang, when will this company increase its capital and share?"

Gao Yang said: "It's coming soon, that's about ten days ago, I have already greeted Brother Tao, they are now three shareholders, and we are also welcome to participate in the capital increase, in your two names, we are definitely welcome. Brother Yan, 51 Weibo voted 3000 million, when will you get the money?"

Li Yan was happy: "You let me send money with just a few words, why are you in such a hurry?"

Gao Yang said with a smile: "Our project has already started, the company has been registered, and the product development has been done for more than a month. We plan to launch the public beta in mid or late March."

Li Yan thought for a while: "Okay, within a week, sign the agreement and make payment."

Gao Yang said: "Thank you, Brother Yan, the purpose of doing the Internet is to have this kind of efficiency, this kind of fun."

What Gao Yang thinks is, when Baidu's 3000 million funds are in place, he will immediately withdraw 2500 million to invest in the stock market. By the end of the year, it is estimated that [-] million will be rolled out...
