Reborn Cultural Empire

After expressing his attitude, Stephen looked at the two men in front of him, and the turbulent waves caused to him because of the age of one of them had only barely subsided up to now.But as the turbulent waves subsided, what came out was a little excitement that made him unable to bear the joy again—if but from the perspective of age, the young man named Yang Yi in front of him Guy, it is more in line with the appearance of those entrepreneurial geniuses in Silicon Valley. Of course, he is younger than the founders of Yahoo or Microsoft.

But the joy was the joy, and he never forgot that the boy in front of him, who looked like a big boy next door, had actually become the founder of a company and also served as the helmsman. Having grown up to where he is now in various hostile environments, the strength of his own inner world obviously cannot be judged by age and appearance alone. If he does this, the result will definitely be miserable.

With this kind of psychological foreshadowing, Stephen's posture is very direct, but his heart is full of caution like walking on thin ice.

After the foreigner gave a long speech as the opening remark, Rogo and Yang Yi glanced at each other, with a very strange meaning in their eyes. This kind of deeper play made Stephen a little puzzled, but he began to be vigilant. Also be prepared to hear the other party's direct rejection.It's just that the boy who spoke first did not disappoint him as soon as he came up, but asked back with a smile: "Well, please forgive me for telling the truth, we have heard of soft music, idg, and red Shan, I have heard of Goldman Sachs, but IHG has never heard of it. How did you learn about our Yangyi Culture?"

Is this a sign that he hasn't let go of his guard?Stephen secretly evaluated in his heart.Then there was a smile on his face: "Indeed, we ihg don't say that Sequoia is compared with Goldman Sachs, even if we mention the previous idg, it is not as good. With the rapid development of your country's economy and the continuous integration with the world, the more More and more international venture capitalists have also begun to notice the huge market in China, compared with those giants and even oligarchs, our ihg is nothing."

Having said so much foreshadowing, Yang Yi and Rogo are clear.The other party must have a turning point.

Sure enough, after a pause, Stephen continued: "However, compared with those old-fashioned venture capitalists, our information team is not much inferior in fact-I mean in some specific fields, such as for Huaxia and your neighbors in the southwest, these two countries will definitely become the largest IT software and hardware bases in the future, we will not be worse than them in understanding certain situations."

When Stephen explained it this way, Yang Yi understood.What the other party means is that we do not have the ability to develop in an all-round way, so now we only specialize in specific markets, and pay all-round and high-intensity attention to information in certain specific industries.Under the guidance of this kind of strategic thinking, it is indeed possible to quickly seize the market without a company worth investing in.He was taken into the arms of those big venture capitalists first.

After thinking about it, Yang nodded.Only then did he say what he meant: "Since your company knows enough about our Yangyi culture, it must know. We don't accept any investment, but ask to maintain 100% of the controlling stake." Can put an end to Any one, the decision to cause damage to Yang Yi culture. "

What Yang Yi said, IHG naturally knew about it when they came to approach me, and prepared a set of arguments in advance: "Of course we know this, but we are also very clear that your company insists on not accepting any investment. kindness of the author..."

"Sorry, I have to interrupt you here. Any limelight is not a god, but a complex with angel wings and devil faces. Mr. Stephen, can you guarantee that those entrepreneurs who accept your investment, behind Have you never scolded you? And you are still vicious, yelling with extreme hatred?" Yang Yi couldn't help laughing, because for any entrepreneur who is creative but lacks funds, if he doesn't really want to seek the support of venture capital, Then, after his career has improved, he will definitely not be able to resist cursing, or at least slandering those venture capitalists.

When VCs appear in front of entrepreneurs, it is true that they are angels descending, but the motivation behind them to seek greater benefits is unquestionable.

Being clicked by Yang Yi, even though Stephen has experienced countless turmoil, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at the moment: "Okay, as you said, as far as I know of those investors, there are indeed people who have scolded us behind our backs. The board of directors came to me as the actual implementer of the investment plan. But what I want to talk about now is not this, because your company does not accept any investment, so in terms of capital chain, Yangyi Culture was once in a very tense state. Mr. Yang Yi, you This talented best-selling author in China, so far, his personal assets should not exceed 100 million—of course, I don’t mean Yangyi Network and other industries—this is an economic situation that is enough to make people feel dumbfounded.”

After gesticulating with both hands and expressing his astonishment with body language, he still did not forget to compare the best-selling authors in Citigroup: "If in our country, or not to engage in other activities that distract you from energy and wealth, career, then your personal wealth should have exceeded 5000 million, maybe more?"

The boy's copyright income is actually very easy to calculate. As long as he finds the annual sales records of the Huaxia Book Market, he can easily deduce his overall income.And as a "super-prolific" best-selling author who has never been seen before, and is likely to have no one to come in the future, even in a country like Citigroup with relatively sound copyright laws and regulations, a book that can sell hundreds of millions of sales volume cannot exceed the overall income. Compared with boys—without him, other best-selling authors will only write one book in a year, but Yang Yi is very different. If necessary, he can produce more than three best-selling books in a year.

Until the best-selling books in his previous life that were memorized in his mind were copied by him, and the rest could only be written word by word by himself.

Hearing the reason given by Stephen, Yang Yi and Rogo laughed at the same time: "Mr. Stephen, what you said may have been a fact before, but now, it seems that certain situations need to be updated in time... ..."

This cannot be blamed on ihg's information delay. After all, we have signed contracts with those customers who placed advertisements on the same navigation page, that is, in the last two or three months. The corresponding advertisements appeared one after another, so that those customers could feel the actual effect of the advertisements.So this kind of situation fell into the eyes of the analysts of the information department of IHG. Naturally, although Yangyi Culture had brought down a considerable number of advertisers, the actual income was extremely limited, and the capital chain was still relatively tight.

But at this moment, when Stephen heard the joke that certain situations need to be updated in time, he didn't think of this situation immediately, but his heart couldn't help but thumped, and suddenly tightened: "Need to update, both of you means?"

"Currently, because of the income from the same navigation advertising platform, the company's cash pool can be said to be quite abundant, and it can even meet our next idea of ​​building a database center. Therefore, external investment is not necessary for us at all." Yang Yang He confessed the situation with a smile. Of course, he definitely couldn't tell the other party how much money he had.

Damn!

Stephen couldn't help roaring fiercely in his heart. Earlier, he had boasted in front of the other party, saying that IHG's information department was unique, but he didn't expect that just as soon as he turned his face, the other party slapped him hard, and this kind of The extremely embarrassing situation was caused by the inadequacy of my company's work, and had nothing to do with the other party.

It's just that all kinds of thoughts are spinning around in his heart, but his expression has not changed at all. Instead, there is only a trace of surprise, which is not obvious. Needless to say, there are still some mistakes in our ihg work. But this does not affect our optimism on Yangyi Culture, and the second set of investment plans formulated before. I believe that after reading this plan, you two will It is impossible to continue to be wary of our investment."

The second set of proposals put forward by Stephen is somewhat similar to mih's investment in fat penguins in the previous life. It is only the dividends brought by the equity, and does not require the decision-making power of the half-branch company's planning and development, and even the right to vote veto. It's just that one is reserved, and on the other hand, even if the shares of Yang Yi and Rogo are not combined, they can still deny IHG's proposal anytime and anywhere.

"I think this investment plan can already show our sincerity." Stephen spread his hands with a smile. He didn't believe that the two men in front of him could reject the last plan specially prepared by the company. His old friend Martin, after winning the support of a major shareholder of the fund on the board of directors, specially formulated a concession plan for Yangyi Culture-except for the absence of decision-making power and the division of voting rights by the number of investors rather than the shares held. Even to buy 15.00% of the shares held by Yang Yi and Rogo, they also took out nearly 2000 million US dollars, and because the first round of fixed option rewards has not yet been issued, this sum of money can be regarded as Yang Yi One and Rogo's private income.

That is 8000 million yuan per person, and what they need to pay is just not too many shares.

"The conditions are indeed very good. If you only add up to 30.00% of the shares, then you can consider it." (To be continued...)
