Chapter 104 Whoever is ruthless wins (please subscribe! Please vote!)
Are you here for the holding?

Hearing Zhang Long's question, Luo Hui immediately understood Fat Penguin's intention - to control WeChat.

There is no way to negotiate this business.

But, we still have to talk.

It is not to negotiate a result, but to delay the already destined result and gain even a little bit of development time for WeChat.

Regardless of the fact that he has received a total investment of 200 billion, if he really uses this money to fight Fat Penguin, he will burn it all in less than a month.

After burning everything, can ByteDance complete the second round of financing?

very difficult!

Businessmen value profit over parting.

When WeChat has bright development prospects, there will naturally be a large number of investors rushing to send money.

For example, the shopping mall bosses who came to invest in Jack Ma's favor rushed to invest 15 billion soft sister coins for a mere 120% of the shares.

The price to get the shares is twice as expensive as Jack Ma.

It was not that they were conquered by Luo Hui's speech.

But investors know Jackma’s vision and business value very well.

Since Jack Ma personally stood up and acted as an angel investor, investing [-] billion in one go, it proves that the WeChat platform has bright development prospects.

You can invest money with confidence.

It’s just a matter of time before you make more or less.

The same marketing strategy doesn’t work for Fat Penguin.

They are not here for profit at all, but for monopoly status.

——Any company or person that can shake QQ’s dominance in the field of instant messaging will be Fat Penguin’s life-or-death enemy.

Unsolvable proposition!
"It doesn't matter how many shares I have!"

Luo Hui did not follow Zhang Long's thoughts, which would only lead to a dead end in the conversation, causing Fat Penguin to immediately launch a business war against WeChat.

Don't think that others don't dare.

When the 3Q war is in full swing, Fat Penguin is at his most effective.

If you get angry, all kinds of weird operations will appear.

Just to kill himself and scare other competitors who are trying to bite a piece of meat from the fat penguin.

He chose to raise a new question: "I sold 15% of my shares in the first round of financing and received 120 billion investment. Based on this price, is Mr. Ma willing to pay a high enough price to acquire my shares?"

Are you kidding me?
Which fool is willing to invest such a large amount of money in a newly developed instant messaging software?

Mr. Luo is indeed a genius in the field of programming, and I can't compare to him.

However, the nature of a child is exposed in the field of business management-the cowhide is blown!

Mr. Ma has already calculated your first round of financing, and you can get up to one billion!

One billion can get 15% of WeChat shares.

It doesn't cost much to acquire more than 51% of the shares, so it's a cost-effective deal.

Zhang Long was afraid of offending Luo Hui, so he did not dare to express his doubts. He just continued: "Please rest assured, Mr. Luo, our Mr. Ma is very sincere in acquiring WeChat and is willing to raise the price higher than your first round of financing." 5% to acquire all your shares.”

The price of 1% of the shares in the first round of financing is [-] million.

If it goes up another 5%, the price is almost 8.4 million, and I still hold 45% of the shares in WeChat, but I sold them all... The picture is so beautiful... I can't imagine it!
"That's great."

Luo Hui stood up and rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Why are you standing there? Go back quickly and invite Mr. Ma over. Let's start discussing the details of the transaction. As long as you are willing to pay a premium, I will sell all the shares to Mr. Ma."

joke.

When you saw my financing agreement, how dare you brag so much?

"There's no need to be so anxious. Our boss, Mr. Ma, is still on a business trip in the capital and won't be able to come back for the time being."

"I can't wait for Mr. Ma to come back from his business trip. I have to go back to Tongcheng tomorrow."

"In such a hurry?"

"Nonsense! WeChat has just been launched in the Apple Store, and I'm still rushing to develop the Android version of WeChat. Can you please take it easy?"

"It's okay. Since you are willing to sell your shares, we, Mr. Ma, are definitely willing to rush to Tongcheng in person to negotiate the acquisition with you."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll wait for Mr. Ma in Tongcheng."

"Ok."

"..."

Another week of successful procrastination!
After seeing off Zhang Long, Luo Hui smiled and asked Xiao Bailan to tell her how to stay in Shencheng.

Well, the main reason why Xiao Bailan was transferred from Tongcheng was to honor the brand.

She was of no use.

Sitting here is, on the one hand, a reminder to Yu Dazui: There are people of mine in the Honor Company, so don’t play tricks.

The other aspect is to let her serve as his own sounding board.

Facilitate timely communication between both parties.

"Mr. Luo, this... this annual salary is a bit high, 30. What can I do?"

The excitement has passed for a week.

Xiao Bailan finally calmed down and remembered her responsibilities.

Very abrupt.

She was originally a laid-off worker. She asked her grandparents to tell her grandma to look for acquaintances to find connections, but she couldn't find a job to support herself.

In the most difficult times, they even went to the suburbs to steal food from farmers' fields.

Suddenly Luo Hui valued me and gave me a monthly salary of 800 yuan, and I felt like I had come back to life again.

At least live like a human being.

Unexpectedly, after answering the phone, he became the executive director of a mobile phone brand.

You can also get an annual salary of 30.

It was like a dream.

Now, it was time to wake up from the dream, and she had to figure out her specific responsibilities.

If you can't do it, you'd better go back to Tongcheng early and continue doing odd jobs and do whatever you can.

"You don't have to do anything, just attend meetings with your ears and just listen."

Luo Hui smiled and encouraged: "Smartphones are a brand new world for you. Get familiar with it little by little, adapt to it, and master it!"

“Don’t be afraid to spend time, don’t be afraid to spend money.”

"The annual salary of 30 yuan is not only for your enjoyment, but also for the cost of study."

"Seize the time, seize every opportunity to learn, and become fully familiar with the smartphone industry chain as soon as possible, so that you can be worthy of such a high annual salary."

"I believe you!"

He was helpless: I also want to use experienced hands!

Isn't there nothing?

Looking around the country, there are almost no people who dare to say that they are very familiar with the smartphone industry.

Including Yu Dazui.

We are all contestants standing on the same starting line. It depends on who can work hard to learn and adapt.

Whoever is ruthless wins.

He felt that Xiao Bailan was a cruel person.

There is a fierceness.

That is to say, I was stunned by the sudden wave of layoffs. I was a little overwhelmed for a while and couldn't find the direction of development.

Now give her a chance to see the details.

"Studying... I just have a technical secondary school diploma, am I afraid I won't be able to make it? Otherwise, I should go back to Tongcheng and let Wu Gong and other knowledgeable people be the executive directors of the Honor brand?"

Xiao Bailan shrank her neck and begged for mercy in a low voice.

"If you dare to give up your position as executive director and return to Tongcheng, I will fire you and let you continue to live in poverty."

"No, please, I listen to you."

"Then use your life-threatening efforts to get a thorough understanding of the smartphone industry chain!"

"Ok!"

"Don't be afraid of spending money. I will allocate a separate sum of money to you every month to treat the technical staff of Huaiwei to meals and drinks."

"what?"

"They are all your free teachers. They can learn things for free. Why don't you treat them to a meal?"

…………

Do not!
I can never go back to Copper City!
I never want to live that kind of precarious life again.

Under Luo Hui's threat, Xiao Bailan suddenly remembered the miserable life after being laid off, and nodded firmly, saying that she would definitely stay in Shenzhen to learn what Mr. Luo needed.Annual salary is 30!

Even in my dreams, I never dared to have such extravagant hopes.

Especially after she was laid off and divorced two years ago, her proud head has been smoothed over by the miserable life.

As long as she could make a little money, she would even go to the suburbs to work during the busy farming season.

pity.

Tongcheng is too small, and even the farmers can’t afford to hire people.

Wuyang Wuyang The laid-off workers who flocked to the suburbs had already grabbed all kinds of heavy manual jobs. It was difficult for a delicate and frail woman like her to get jobs...

After sending Mr. Luo and his party away, Xiao Bailan couldn't wait to rush to the bookstore. Under the guidance of the salesperson, she bought a large bag of books on mobile phones and communications and returned to the Songshan Lake base to study hard.

……

Luo Hui did not return to Tongcheng.

That was just a smoke bomb, used to confuse the fat penguin.

He still has work to do.

He led Wu Yang and the art team back to Hangzhou, accompanied by a bald old Liu and two young plainclothes men.

Needless to say.

It’s Director Yang’s work again.

Hearing that Luo Hui was rushing to Shenzhen, Director Yang became restless. He didn't know what method he used, but he actually brought Lao Liu and two plainclothes over to provide Luo Hui with security.

Afraid that he would disappear silently in the deep city.

Luo Hui understood this feeling.

However, he did not call to express his gratitude, but raced against time to devote himself to WeChat promotion.

No matter how sincere your words of thanks are, they are all bullshit.

If he really wants to be right with Director Yang's intentions, he must make WeChat bigger and stronger as soon as possible, so strong that the fat penguin can't shake it.

7 month 18 day.

After two weeks of intense work, two major Internet game manufacturers and the largest shopping website in China simultaneously launched related cooperation activities on WeChat.

Jack Ma’s support was overwhelming.

Announced that in addition to its own communication software, the shopping website also supports WeChat communication.

Of course, only in the form of communication.

The payment function is temporarily not open to WeChat.

The two major online game manufacturers have built-in WeChat exclusive activities in their games. Players who participate in the activities have a chance to obtain top-notch props and exclusive mythical beasts.

With the joint actions of the three major investors, domestic netizens became aware of an instant communication software called WeChat almost overnight.

While promoting the event, WeChat advertisements also appeared in the advertising columns of various portals and news websites.

The content of the ad is simple.

——WeChat, video calls are even closer!
——WeChat, no need to type hard, the voice message function is more convenient.

——Post a circle of friends and share the beautiful moments of life!

"beat!"

"First hit this little guy until it hurts!"

After returning from a business trip, looking at the overwhelming number of WeChat ads on the Internet, Xiao Ma immediately made the decision: "In the name of the group, we will invest advertising fees in all websites that place WeChat ads."

"Promote our QQ."

"Tell those portals and news websites that we at QQ will give you double the advertising fee for whatever WeChat gives you."

“There is only one request: to remove WeChat ads.”

"We will pay the liquidated damages for them!"

Ugh!
We’ve still come this far!

When Zhang Long heard his boss's decision, he silently mourned Luo Hui's genius in programming.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

He still strongly supported his boss's decision and immediately expressed his support for his boss's will: "I will organize manpower immediately to add video calling and voice message functions to QQ first."

"No, no, no. Someone else will take care of QQ. Your top priority is to complete the development and release of Fetion as soon as possible."

However, Xiao Ma shook his head and rejected his suggestion.

"Then, do you want to hand over the work of contacting Mr. Luo to someone else?"

"No, you should continue to contact us. We have to contact you as soon as possible. Even we can't sustain this money-burning strategy for long. We can only suppress the little guy in a short period of time."

"I understand, the fight is for mergers and acquisitions."

"Well, it's better to spend the money on advertisers than on mergers and acquisitions. You can try again and see if you can buy that high school student and his Bytedance together."

"You like him too?"

"This guy has great moves and deadly moves. Looking at these ads, they are basically aimed at QQ's weaknesses. It makes me excited. I don't want to compete with him."

"On smartphones, WeChat is indeed easier to use than QQ."

"Then you have to make sure that Fetion is better than WeChat!"

"... I'm afraid not. It's actually very difficult to surpass WeChat... the most you can do is copy the other party's ideas."

"Then copy it!"

"How can I be a colleague if I copy it? I will be despised to death."

"I'll take the blame! All bad things happened to me. You, Zhang Long, and the Fetion R&D team are innocent men."

"Forget it, the pot is too big, I should carry it. You are not suitable."

"Also, ask the Legal Department to issue a lawyer's letter."

"Don't you want to take Mr. Luo under your wing? Why..."

"You don't understand. This kind of person's heart is as high as the sky. It is impossible to surrender without forcing him to a desperate situation."

"I see that he is very interested in money and is looking forward to your merger and acquisition."

"How much is it?"

"This kid is bragging, saying that 15% of the shares were sold in the first round of financing, and the financing amount was as high as 120 billion. In order to maintain the relationship, I did not reveal it. You will know when you go over and read the investment agreement."

"Be prepared. Since he likes money, I will use money to smash him to death until he is convinced to become our colleague."

"..."

While Brother Xiao Ma was estimating the accounts, Luo Hui was also settling the accounts.

My liver hurts.

The cost of promotional activities with the companies owned by the three major investors is not high. The two major game manufacturers each received 600 million.

Twelve million yuan was spent.

Jack Ma's price was quite harsh and he charged him 2000 million in promotion fees in one go.

It's not okay if you don't give it.

The advertising costs of major portals and news websites are even more terrifying.

There are advertisements that calculate money based on the number of clicks. Each click costs him a dime, which seems inconspicuous.

It's actually very deadly.

These portals and news websites are not good people. They don't know how to do business properly, and they all do mischief secretly.

Any number of clicks is nonsense!

Most of the data is generated by themselves.

There are very few real clicks.

But, it’s not enough not to do it.

At this time, there were not as many Internet users as there were after the large-scale rollout of smartphones. Basically, everyone was an elite.

He knew the data was watery, but he still had to hold his nose and pay.

The total cost of advertising alone is as high as 500 million per day.

every day!
Other relatively niche websites are not so shady and can be advertised with time packages.

Each company's monthly advertising investment ranges from [-] to [-].

The total monthly advertising expenses do not exceed 200 million.

Barely acceptable.

“It feels really bad to burn money!”

After calculating the accounts, Luo Hui made a rough estimate. The money he currently has on hand should be enough for him to burn for two years.

If there is competition...two months is not enough.
