Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 545
Some people died vigorously, but more people died without a trace when they came and left without a trace, just like an inconspicuous little splash in the sea.

Joe Burt's death did not cause any waves.

Lu Yiming, who was in Zhonghai, didn't realize that one of his so-called competitors had disappeared from this world.

What attracted his attention was the news of another "competitor".

News of Wang Xiujie's arrest was published in the newspaper.The reason for the arrest stated in the news is financial fraud.

Regarding this, Lu Yiming smiled slightly.

This is really a good reason, it is even better than panacea.

Seeing Lu Yiming's malicious smile, Li Yiwen, who was lying in the yard with Lu Yiming and basking in the sun, frowned slightly, feeling something in his heart, and asked, "Why are you smiling so ripplingly? You couldn't have reported it, right? "

Lu Yiming snorted and said, "Do you think I have so much free time? He is my right-hand man, how could I report him?"

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Yiming to be distracted to deal with this kind of small shrimp, and it was even more impossible for him to resort to the lowly method of reporting.

Even Lu Yiming felt very sorry.

There is one less person who can talk about it.

Li Yiwen lay down again, and said: "This kid is also a god. He boasted that he was the god of small stocks in Zhonghai. In the end, his main source of income was teaching classes. I won't say that the fees are expensive. The things taught are still nonsense, and many people pay for it." Come to the class, follow his guidance to speculate in the leeks of the stock market, and lose everything. If this is not reported, it will be a ghost."

Lu Yiming commented: "These people are a bit unkind to tell the truth. They are sincerely cheated, and they believe it without hesitation. One is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer. How can they report it? But anyone with a little brain, Everyone should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch. If I had a way to make a lot of money, I would have already started to make money by myself, and what classes should I teach? Who would believe who is being taken advantage of. I can’t blame others for my IQ.”

While Lu Yiming was complaining, Li Yiwen suddenly became agitated, holding the newspaper in his right hand, clapping his left hand, and hurriedly said: "Look at this, hey. This Maigu Fund's Jin Mai has also been arrested. He is suspected of manipulating the stock market. Insider trading and illegal fund-raising, such a long list, if you really want to be sentenced, it won’t last ten or eight years?”

Afterwards, he looked at Lu Yiming with a serious face: "I remember that Jinmai didn't deal with you, right? Now there are two of them, but they are all your enemies. Are you sure you didn't do it secretly?" order what?"

Lu Yiming sneered and said, "If I want to do something, do I still need to be sneaky? It's not difficult for me to directly trample them to death. I just said, don't offend anyone and don't offend gamblers. You're too impatient to lose." People can do anything. They are not afraid of jumping off buildings and lying on rails, so what is it to report people?"

Li Yiwen said, "That's true."

At this moment, Lu Yiming's mobile phone on the coffee table rang. Lu Yiming picked it up and pressed the answer button. He moved it to his ear and said happily, "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, a deep voice said, "Is this Mr. Lu? I'm Ma Teng."

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Oh, so it's Brother Ma. Call me at this time, what's the matter?"

Ma Teng struggled for two seconds, sighed, and said, "I'm here in Zhonghai, and I want to treat you to lunch. Do you have time for lunch today?"

Good guy, when did Brother Ma become so humble?

Lu Yiming complained in his heart, and then said: "Okay, let me know when you have chosen a good place."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming said to Li Yiwen, "Ma Teng has come to Zhonghai and said he wants to invite me to dinner."

When Li Yiwen heard it, he laughed immediately: "It seems that I have a good lunch today."

On the other side, Xiao Ma and Zhang Zhidong had just walked out of Zhonghai Airport and took a bus to the city.

Zhang Zhidong looked at Brother Xiao Ma with a tangled face, and said reluctantly: "Have you decided? Now the development of Goose Factory is actually quite good, and the number of users is increasing every day. In April, the number of registered users reached 500 million." , in May, the number of simultaneous online users exceeded [-] for the first time, so it can be said that the situation is very good."

Ma Teng shook his head, remembering the days when he wore women's clothes to chat with people in order to attract users to register, and said helplessly: "You are right, the only problem is that Penguin is still losing money and making money, and there is no profit at all." model."

They were still thinking before, make the data more beautiful, and then go to Nasdaq to operate a wave of listings, and then they will have everything.

Although ordinary people may sound funny, the capital market is actually so magical.For the capital market, this idea is really good, and it was quite reliable even in February. Many American investors are also paying attention to the development of Penguin.

Unfortunately, Goose Factory seemed to be on the right track and was waiting to be listed on NASDAQ. As a result, the cold wave of the Internet came, and it was extremely cold.

At present, one-third of domestic Internet companies have closed down, and the rest are struggling. The most painful thing is that everyone can't see the way out and where there is hope.

With neither money nor hope, how can you play with a hammer?
So Ma Teng backed down.

Zhang Zhidong sighed, and said, "Is there no other way than to sell the company? After all, we managed to pull this off."

Ma Teng said helplessly: "I can't help it. You are not ignorant of the current situation of the goose factory. We are burning money every second, and we want to make money, but there is no end in sight."

Zhang Zhidong thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you talk to Mr. Lu later during the meal? Ask him to make a contribution?"

Ma Teng said, "I'm embarrassed to speak, how about you go?"

Zhang Zhidong also smiled wryly: "Oh, I can't bear this face either."

Of course, this is just an excuse. Whoever wants to face the Internet has already been killed by his peers.The main reason is that neither of them thought that Lu Yiming would continue to throw money at the goose factory.After all, how long has it been since Lu Yiming spent such a large sum of money on the goose factory?Not a single splash appeared, it just disappeared.

Instead of being shut out when the time comes, it's better to have a happy meal first, and then talk about other things.

Where the future of the goose factory lies, neither of them can tell for sure.

Even if they continue to burn money, the two of them don't know how long it will take to burn it, or whether it can be burned.

The most important thing is that the two of them don't even have enough confidence to find Panxia.

It seems that Lu Yiming is the richest, the key is whether Lu Yiming is willing to take this hot potato?
Regardless of the fact that the Internet cold wave happened in the United States, Xia Country is actually the most severely affected place. After all, there are not many rich people in China who are willing to invest in the Internet, and most of them are foreign capital.

But now that the United States is too busy to take care of itself, how could it be possible to come to the country of Xia to throw coins?

Zhang Zhidong asked: "We can't even get the investment, so sell the company to Mr. Lu, is he willing to take it?"

Ma Teng is also very troubled by this: "Let's try it. After all, Penguin's largest shareholder is Mr. Lu. If we sell our shares at a lower price, he should think about it, right?"

The two entered the urban area and began to look for a place to invite Lu Yiming to dinner.

Of course, it is impossible to go to a high-end hotel. It costs 2000 yuan for a meal, and it hurts them to eat it now.

Naturally, roadside stalls are also not acceptable. No matter what, Lu Yiming bears the title of the richest man, so he must have the most basic cards.

After thinking about it, the two found a restaurant that looked reasonable on the surface, but the dishes inside were not too expensive.

At the entrance of the hotel, the two met Lu Yiming.

Facing Lu Yiming, both of them were very nervous, as if they had done something wrong.

It was Lu Yiming who spoke first: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhang, long time no see."

"Mr. Lu."

"Long time no see, Mr. Lu."

"Boss Li is here too."

"The two of you, please."

The four of them entered the private room, and Lu Yiming said with a relaxed face, "Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhang, why are you free to come to Zhonghai today?"

Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong looked at each other, and Ma Teng mustered up his courage and said, "Mr. Lu, let's tell you the truth. We came to Zhong Hai to find you."

"Find me?"

Lu Yiming is familiar with the development history of the goose factory, and knows that the current goose factory is basically on the verge of bankruptcy, so after thinking about it for a while, he can basically understand the purpose of the two people coming here today.

His expression was serious, and his tone became stiff: "What do you want me for?"

His seriousness immediately frightened Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong.Let Lu Yiming invest even more dare not mention it.

Ma Teng said hesitantly, "We want to sell the goose factory to you."

After listening to this, Lu Yiming put on a displeased expression on purpose, and said, "I have never asked about the goose factory. Every time you come here to ask for money, I don't say anything. What does this mean now?"

In fact, Lu Yiming was very happy to hear this in his heart.Although he has Miaomiao in his hands now, he still lacks a national software that rules the computer desktop.Plus Goose Factory QQ has its own halo, of course he wants to win it.

The initial investment is also paving the way for this matter.

If relying on that investment, Goose Factory came out on its own, it would definitely not be a loss if it took so many original shares.Now that Goose Factory didn't come out on its own, and came over to ask for the acquisition, the initiative was completely in Lu Yiming's hands.

Ma Teng was very ashamed by Lu Yiming's question, while Zhang Zhidong quickly defended, saying: "The Goose Factory is developing very well now. The number of registered users has exceeded 600 million this month, and the number of online users has reached 15. Our users are very sticky. Great, the future prospects are unlimited, Mr. Lu, you won't lose money if you buy it."

The two had thought it through very clearly before they came. Given Penguin's current operating conditions, they didn't know if they could last until the Chinese New Year. Anyway, they couldn't get investment.

If you continue to ask Lu Yiming for financing, the shares in your hand will still be diluted, which is no different from selling the company.

What's more, Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong actually found other buyers in private. Pengcheng Telecom Bureau offered 60 yuan, and they didn't accept bargaining.

How do you sell this?
That's why they came to find Lu Yiming to be the "taken advantage". After all, he was the richest man, so he had to be established, right?
Ma Teng, as a technical geek, is not good at words, basically Zhang Zhidong is talking, and Lu Yiming is listening, and when he is almost dry, Lu Yiming finally nodded: "Okay, how much do you plan to sell the shares in your hands? "

Finally came the last topic. What Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong discussed earlier was that this goose factory would sell for 100 million yuan, so Ma Teng said cautiously: "100 million!"

Lu Yiming: "..."

At this price, Lu Yiming was stunned!
The goose factory only sells for 100 million!

What a magic!

Regarding this price, Lu Yiming didn't even have any interest in haggling. He immediately took out the check book, signed 100 million, and pushed it in front of Ma Teng: "Okay, at this price, I'll buy it!"

"Come on, let's drink to our beautiful friendship."

"cheers."

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the gentle-looking Ma Teng was drunk. When he walked out of the hotel, he was blown by the cool wind and woke up.

"Adong, I regret it, hiccup..."

He worried about his gains and losses and said, "Do you think my choice was wrong? If I persist for another year or so, maybe the company will be able to improve."

Zhang Zhidong let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "It's all sold, why do you want to do it? QQ burns too much money, we can't afford it, and the richest man in China is willing to take over, otherwise we are afraid that we will lose everything if we want the whole body." It’s even hard to withdraw. If you think about it, we sold an extra 40.”

The two opened a room in the nearby hotel. After cleaning up, the two lay on the bed. Zhang Zhidong asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Of course, Ma Teng took the 100 million and withdrew completely without haste, so he said: "I want to continue to start a business."

"Do you still want to work hard in the Internet field?"

"Ah."

For this idea, Zhang Zhidong did not block it, because he also felt that the future of the Internet was bright.

"Okay, the current cold wave will pass one day, but let's wait and see for now, don't be in a hurry."

With the little money in their hands, if they act blindly, they won't be able to last a day.

On the other hand, Lu Yiming, who won the goose factory at a price of 100 million, was so excited on the way home.

May 27, 4.52 was the highlight moment of Goose Factory.On this day, the stock price of Goose Factory climbed all the way, and finally rose 171.2% to HK$16104 per share at the close, the highest level since its listing.Based on the closing price, the market value of Goose Factory on that day was HK$[-] billion.

Buying a company with a future market value of 100 trillion at a price of 6000 million would be exciting for anyone.

Moreover, the magic of Goose Factory does not lie in its market value, but in its 20.00% operating profit margin!
The operating profit margin is an indicator to measure the operating efficiency of an enterprise, reflecting the ability of enterprise managers to obtain profits through operations without considering non-operating costs.

A company's revenue minus costs and expenses is called operating profit.The amount of operating profit represents the true ability of a company to make money.

The higher the operating profit margin, the higher the rate at which the company converts operating income into operating profit, that is, the stronger the company's operating profitability.

In contrast, Ali's operating profit margin is only [-]%, which is half of that of Goose Factory.

The most important thing is that the future goose factory is a cash cow, holding a lot of banknotes in its hands, and the whole thing is a nuclear-powered money printing machine.

Seeing that Lu Yiming was twisted and twisted in the car, Li Yiwen immediately said contemptuously: "What are you doing? You, you bought such a thing for 100 million, and I'm going to make you feel embarrassed. Those who didn't know thought you brought a golden mountain back. Woolen cloth."

Lu Yiming laughed loudly and said, "This stuff is much more valuable than gold mines!"

Li Yiwen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you know how much the gold mine is worth?"

Lu Yiming said proudly: "I really know. There are many gold mines in China. Let me count them as medium-sized. The output is only 80 tons at the peak. I don't know how many years it will take to dig, and it's not the mine itself. Management costs and various unpredictable accident risks. Let me do the math for you. The value of [-] tons of gold mines is just over [-] billion. Do you know how much a penguin is worth in my eyes? At least two hundred Gold mine!"

Li Yiwen said: "It seems that you did not drink less tonight. Young people don't drink if they don't know how to drink."

When he got home, Lu Yiming took a shower and went to bed. He rolled on the bed until midnight and didn't fall asleep.

Although the goose factory has been won, everything has changed, and it is impossible to follow the original track.Although the company's basic framework has been laid, it must be well-run to usher in a bright future.

Although Lu Yiming had a full set of calculations in his heart, he still planned to find a helm for the goose factory.

After thinking about it, Lu Yiming thought of Zhang Xiaolong who had a deep entanglement with the goose factory.

A phone call came, but Zhang Xiaolong was still awake.

"Brother Long, what are you doing? I need to discuss something with you."

Zhang Xiaolong, who was typing codes in front of the computer, said meticulously, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yiming said: "QQ was acquired by me, and I plan to merge it into Yixun Technology."

Zhang Xiaolong is no stranger to QQ.He was surprised that Lu Yiming bought QQ.Because the function of QQ is the same as that of MM.

"Are you going to merge QQ and MM?"

Lu Yiming said: "It is enough for the accounts to be connected, and there is no need to merge them. And the two products should be as independent as possible from each other."

MM is a software developed by Lu Yiming himself. The target is WeChat. Although it is also a social software, the focus is completely different from QQ.

MM does real-name social networking, and each user's account is bound to a mobile phone number and an ID number, while QQ is more inclined to virtual social networking, which is just the opposite of the real-name system, and corresponds to different social needs. Client.

In the era of computer hosts, it is definitely better to do QQ. After all, mobile phones these days are not smart phones, so doing wireless terminals is a dead end.

But the wireless terminal has to be laid out in advance.

Children only make choices. As an adult, of course, you have to choose everything.
