Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 604

Ding Sanshi in 2000 was not the humorous pig factory manager he was later.

After all, Ding Sanshi at this time didn't have the spare time to raise any pigs, and the matter of how to feed the entire Wangnan was actually enough for him to worry about.

In fact, today's Wangnan~ life is much easier than most Internet companies.

The reason is also very simple. Wangnan is a listed company. When it was listed, Wangnan got a large sum of money from Nasdaq.

Compared with other Internet companies that have difficulty raising funds under the influence of the bubble crisis, Wangnan has enough funds to support them through this Internet winter.

But such a problem is also very obvious, that is, how should Wangnan choose its future path?

In fact, it should not be difficult to make a decision on this issue. After all, although Wangnan started out with e-mail, it can really grow bigger and stronger. It relies on the transformation of the portal website.

According to common sense~ Ding Sanshi should not hesitate at all at this time, as long as he continues to walk on the road of the portal website.

But the problem is that in Huaxia~ there are still two such portals!
And the most irritating thing is that these two companies are also just listed, and they also hold a large amount of funds in their hands.

Not only these two competitors, but also Panda QQ, which is rapidly catching up in the portal site, is taking a shortcut to catch up with the three major portal sites by virtue of its large user base.

It is estimated that before long, the so-called three major portals will have to become the four major portals.

The only good news is that Panda QQ is not a listed company, but at the same time there is another bad news. The boss of Panda QQ is very rich, so Panda QQ does not lack funds for development.

Moreover, Panda QQ is different from the three major portal websites. The portal website is only a sideline business of Panda QQ, and their main business is social software.

When the time came to 2000, practitioners in the Internet industry basically understood the importance of the user base.

At this point, the three major portals combined may not have as many users as Panda QQ.

After all~ Just in the past September, the number of registered users of Panda QQ has exceeded 300 million.

Of course~ they are all insiders, Ding Sanshi naturally understands that this data is actually very watery.

But even after removing the water, the huge user base of Panda QQ is still a bit scary.

And the most desperate thing is that with the current development speed of Panda QQ, it is estimated that it will not be long before Panda QQ will become a giant in the domestic Internet social field.

On the other hand, the three major portals have been sharing industry resources due to competition. If Wangnan still hangs on this tree with all its heart, waiting for Wangnan may be a slow death.

So. Ding Sanshi's life is really not easy recently!
Coupled with the company's internal struggles over the past year due to personnel changes, Ding Sanshi was almost at a loss.

To put it bluntly ~ the current Ding Sanshi can't see the future of Wangnan at all, he didn't even find the direction.

But recently Ding Sanshi has a new idea ~ that is. Online games!

When mentioning early online games, the first thing that pops into many people's minds is "Legend of Hot Blood", which was once popular all over the country, and even played a pivotal role in the domestic online game market.

But in fact, before that "Legend of Hot Blood" appeared in China, there were many online games in China.

It's just that unlike the later "Legend of Hot Blood" which became popular all over the country, the early online games were affected by multiple problems such as the restrictions of the Internet environment and the quality of the game itself~Although some games may be popular for a while, they are difficult to last for a long time.

This also led to the relatively limited influence of early online games!
At least before "Legend of Hot Blood" became popular all over the country, no one in China realized that online games had such huge economic value.

So. Ding Sanshi is actually a little hesitant at this time!

Choosing the path of online games is certainly a new beginning, but if this path is not taken well, it may also bring Wangnan into a desperate situation.

Fortunately, Ding Sanshi still has some courage, and the listing of Shangnan has guaranteed Ding Sanshi's transformation, so Ding Sanshi has now started to set his sights on the online game industry.

However, Wangnan is a listed company. While enjoying the dividends brought by the listing, Wangnan must also bear the risks brought by the listing.

The most direct manifestation of this risk is naturally the stock price.

There is no doubt about the importance of a stable stock price~ for listed companies.

But now coincides with the Internet bubble crisis, the stock prices of almost all companies related to the computer Internet industry are plummeting.

And Wangnan naturally did not escape this crisis!

In fact, not only Wangnan, but also several other Huaxia Internet companies listed on Nasdaq have encountered the same crisis.

And at this time ~ how to stabilize the company's stock price is naturally what Ding Sanshi, the chairman of Wangnan, should do.

It's somewhat funny to say that Ding Sanshi has now handed over the management of the company to others, but he still needs to worry about the company's stock price.

But~ no matter how hard Ding Sanshi racks his brains~ what he can do is actually very limited.

Although Ding Sanshi is now the chairman of a listed company, he is nothing compared to the Internet bubble crisis.

Coupled with the fact that Shangnan is now mired in internal strife, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have any achievements that can stimulate the stock price to rise.

This made Ding Sanshi very distressed!
But at this moment, his investor, that is, Mrs. Xu Xingxu from Chen Li, told him something.

The major shareholder of Red Pony Technology~ actually bought nearly 10% of Wangnan's stock in the capital market.

When Ding Sanshi heard the news, his first reaction was a little angry.

There are two reasons for his anger. One is that Chen Li's large-scale acquisition of the shares of Wangnan Company is because he wants to fight Wangnan?

As for the second point, Chen Li owns nearly 10% of Wangnan's shares. Why doesn't he, the chairman of Wangnan, know about it?

You must know that Nasdaq also has relevant regulations on the increase and decrease of major shareholders!
Let alone 10%, as long as it exceeds 5%, he, the chairman, should not be ignorant.

But this. Unless the acquirer actively wants to make it public, there are ways to avoid it in the capital market.

Just like Shengda's acquisition of Jiulang in the previous life, it almost succeeded at the door.

If Jiulang hadn't launched a "poison pill" plan at that time, maybe Jiulang would have become a member of Shengda's Mr. Chen's plan to build Internet Disney.

It can only be said that as a technical player ~ Ding Sanshi does not have a deep understanding of the capital market.

However, under Xu Xing's explanation, Ding Sanshi understood the twists and turns.

So ~ this time Ding Sanshi invited Chen Li to dinner.

However, after Ding Sanshi told Chen Li the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Li looked at Ding Sanshi with meaningful eyes.

The main reason is that Chen Li doesn't understand what Ding Sanshi said. Is it intentional~ or unintentional!
Chen Li was still guessing~ how did Ding Sanshi know about this.

Although Mu Xiaoqing did not intentionally keep the matter of buying the stocks of the three major Internet companies in China a secret, if someone really wants to investigate, he will naturally be able to find out about Mu Xiaoqing.

So at first, Chen Li thought that Ding Sanshi had found out about him based on the whereabouts of his company's stocks. At that time, Chen Li was still a little bit emotional about the things in the capital market. It didn't seem like it was in the movies and TV dramas!

You know~ In many film and television dramas, when some villains want to buy some companies, the company bosses in them will find out almost only when the matter is a foregone conclusion.

But usually at this time, it is mostly the protagonist who comes out with a golden light, and then saves the company from danger.

As a result, Chen Li didn't think about what to do here?Ding Sanshi actually knew about this?

But what surprised Chen Li even more was that Ding Sanshi actually sold Xu Xing who helped him at this moment?

Some things~even if Chen Li knows that someone did it, but when there is no evidence or the face is not torn~Chen Li will think that this matter has nothing to do with that person.

In other words~ if Ding Sanshi didn't say anything, even if Chen Li guessed that Xu Xing had informed him, he would never attribute this matter to Xu Xing.

This sort of thing might sound contradictory, but it is!

But now that Ding Sanshi said this, Chen Li had to think carefully.

Of course~ the object of his consideration must be Xu Xing, in fact, Chen Li is very clear why Xu Xing told Ding Sanshi this matter.

Because Xu Xing is the agent of the capital institution that invested in Wangnan!

To put it bluntly, it was Xu Xing who strongly advocated investing in Wangnan. If the investment in Wangnan fails, Xu Xing will naturally have to bear the responsibility.

People die for money, birds die for food~!In such a situation that might endanger him, it's not surprising that Xu Xing told Ding Sanshi about it!
As for how Xu Xing knew such details~ Chen Li didn't even want to guess!
The reason is very simple. Before Chen Li decided to hire Mu Xiaoqing, he asked Xu Xing to help investigate Mu Xiaoqing's background.

In other words, Xu Xing himself has his own connections in the circle of the capital market!
Moreover, Mu Xiaoqing now bears such a big name as the queen of short selling, so her every move is naturally watched by people in Hong Kong City.

Although staring at Mu Xiaoqing like this seems boring to ordinary people, but for practitioners in the capital market~ Maybe there is an opportunity to make a fortune hidden in it.

So ~ Chen Li can understand that Xu Xing told Ding Sanshi about it.

But understanding is understanding, but when Ding Sanshi puts this kind of thing on the table, it is obviously inappropriate.

But when Chen Li saw the "resentment" and "unhappiness" on Ding Sanshi's face, he suddenly understood.

If his guess is correct~ Ding Sanshi should still be a little concerned about the CEO that Xu Xing helped him find.

But thinking about it the other way around, Ding Sanshi's reaction is actually normal.

After all, although Ding Sanshi asked Xu Xing to help him find someone who could help him manage and operate the company, he didn't ask Xu Xing to help him find a master of palace fighting.

You know~ Ever since the person Xu Xing helped him find entered Wangnan Company, more than half of the old employees in the company have left.

And as an adult, Ding Sanshi can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. After all, he has to be responsible for the decisions he made.

And the most depressing thing is that during the period when Wangnan's stock price plummeted, Ding Sanshi didn't have the confidence to deny the CEO hired by investors.

But although the other party cannot be denied, if you really want to say that Ding Sanshi is not angry at all, that is absolutely impossible!

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wangnan's biggest problem right now is the CEO.

This is not to say that this CEO is a villain~ nor does it mean that this CEO is really useless at all, but that this CEO is not suitable for the current Wangnan.

The company is about to be listed successfully, and it was the time when the old employees in the company should be proud, but suddenly a CEO was parachuted down from above to point fingers, and the old employees would naturally not be happy.

The most important thing is that Wangnan is currently in a time of transformation, so it needs to make changes in many aspects.

It would be fine if this change was made by Ding Sanshi, but if it was replaced by this CEO, it would be a different matter.

In the eyes of some old Wangnan employees, this is somewhat like killing a donkey.

As for this point, it was not Chen Li's guess, but a real fact.

Because in the past six months, there have been employees who have jumped from Wangnan to Red Pony Technology and Panda QQ from time to time.

Even Panda QQ's portal website has developed so fast, in fact, part of the credit comes from those old employees who left Wangnan.

This is why Chen Li is so aware of the current situation of the internal struggle in Wangnan Company!

So ~ when Ding Sanshi looked at Chen Li with an aggrieved face and asked him if he would sell the stocks in his hand, Chen Li almost laughed out loud.

There's no way~ Chen Li has never seen Ding Sanshi like this before.

The Ding Sanshi that Chen Li saw in some Internet news and some interview programs in his previous life was a humorous and even down-to-earth entrepreneur.

And the current Ding Sanshi is a bit like a wronged daughter-in-law who quarreled with her husband and lost.

But when Ding Sanshi asked this question, Chen Li didn't answer the other party in time because of his astonishment, the more Chen Li didn't answer, the more "broken" Ding Sanshi's expression became!
But in the end Chen Li still reacted, he even waved his hand a little hastily.

The main reason is that Chen Li is worried that he will laugh if he doesn't add some action!
"Don't worry ~ Ding Ding, I have no intention of selling your company's stock for the time being!"

"And I have no idea about your company!"

"The reason why I bought your company's stock is entirely because I am optimistic about your company's future development!"

"So about this, you can rest assured!"

"Even. If possible, I would like to buy more shares of your company."

"I just don't know if you have any opinions, Ding Ding?"
