My Age of Investment

Chapter 789

"Boom~"

Ma Huateng slammed his fist on the desk heavily, and looked firmly at Liu Zhiping and Ren Yuxin who were sitting opposite him.

"Do it! It must be done! The spread of social games like farms is terrible. If this continues, the accumulated users of Friends.com will run away."

Thinking of the Q coins spent to attract QQ users to register, Ma Huateng's heart bleeds.

The outside world said that they did a good job in business, and they were smarter than Thousand Oaks, which was foolish to spend money. Issuing a few hundred million Q coins saved hundreds of millions of real money in promotional expenses.

He can only say that those people are too ignorant of the inside story.

Penguin donated hundreds of millions of Q coins, which means that the next recharge behavior of users will be reduced, resulting in a decrease in their value-added service revenue.

If there is no such thing as "Happy Farm", he is still very complacent about his "Q coin promotion".

Because compared to Chen Yizhou's stupid behavior, Penguin obviously spent a lot less money.

However, compared with the internal network that did not spend a penny, relying on a game to revive with full blood, return to the peak or even go further, Penguin's Q coin promotion is obviously inferior.

The players of "Happy Farm" called their friends to play the game, and the group spontaneously promoted it for the overseas network.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sour in his heart.

It's obviously not as good as the game developed by our Penguin, but why is it so popular?

He has withdrawn the title of garbage game, because he can't say that he is not as good as garbage.

Respect your opponent, that is, respect yourself and your team who intend to improve "Happy Farm" next.

Liu Zhiping adjusted his glasses and sighed, "Hey, some time ago, we were all wrong. No one expected today."

As the person in charge of the game, Ren Yuxin has already analyzed "Happy Farm" with the team. At this moment, he said confidently: "Boney, the development of this game is not complicated. The team and I are confident that we can develop a game with the same game within a month." type of game."

Hearing this, Ma Huateng's face softened a little, but he still couldn't help asking because of the urgency in his heart: "Can you go faster, I'm worried that it will drag on, and all gamers will go to Haineiwang."

Ren Yuxin smiled wryly, "Bonny, we don't have source code, we need to develop from scratch, one month's time is already very tight.

And you can't transfer the manpower of other game teams, they each have games that need to be developed and maintained. "

Ma Huateng looked at the mole between Ren Yuxin's eyebrows. As a Chaoshan native, he believed in traditional cultures such as Fengshui, fate, and facial appearance.

The mole between Ren Yuxin's eyebrows is very similar to that of a rich man surnamed Liu in Hong Kong who likes to play golf.

From the theory of physiognomy, the eyebrows belong to the career palace.

Ren Yuxin's mole is lower than that of the rich man with the surname Liu, and his fate is also good, his career will be smoother, and he is also suitable to cooperate with others.

After he started Ren Yuxin, the other party has indeed performed very well, leading Penguin's game department to develop all the way. In a few years, Penguin has grown from a game rookie to a top player in the industry.

In short, he has great trust in the lieutenant general Ren Yuxin.

"Okay, Mark, I will give you a month to develop a game that is comparable or even better than "Happy Farm"."

Ren Yuxin's English name is also "Mark", which is different from Ari's favorite name in martial arts novels. Penguins all have English names.

After finishing speaking, Ma Huateng looked at his military advisor Liu Zhiping and asked, "Martin, the game will take at least a month to develop, so it shouldn't have a big impact on us, right? Is there any chance of catching up with Shanghai Neiwang?"

Liu Zhiping said with a smile: "We are different from Thousand Oaks. The active users of Youyou.com and Qzone have indeed decreased a lot, but our QQ user activity has not decreased at all."

Hearing this, Ma Huateng gained a lot of confidence, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that QQ is our foundation. No matter how rampant it is on the domestic Internet, it will never take away our QQ users."

Liu Zhiping nodded with a smile, "Yes, Thousand Oaks may be devastated after being hit so hard, but we Penguins will never recover.

As long as our "QQ Farm" is developed, relying on QQ's user base that is larger than that of Hainei.com, we hope to kill Hainei.com, and at the worst, there will be a "Chu-Han Conflict". "

Hearing this, Ma Huateng was determined, the haze on his face was swept away, he waved his hand with a smile and said: "That's it, let's develop "QQ Farm" with all our strength."

"Mr. Chen, here is my resignation letter!"

An executive from Thousand Oaks walked into the office and looked at Chen Yizhou, who had a vicissitudes of life, with a worried expression.

Looking at the resignation letter on the table, Chen Yizhou's dull eyes instantly became sharper, and he scolded: "Even you have to leave, speaking with conscience, have I treated you badly in the past few years?"

The executive looked embarrassed, "Mr. Chen, the current state of the company is really... Hey, I also have a wife and children to support. I'm sorry, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Yizhou stood up abruptly, picked up the resignation letter on the table, and threw it on the executive's face, "Get out! You unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, get out as far as you can!"

"I'm a white-eyed wolf, and there are many white-eyed wolf in the whole company, including the dozens of people who left recently, all of them."

The executive exploded in emotion, and cursed at the top of his voice: "Chen Yizhou, I advised you not to put all your eggs in one basket, did you listen? You are a self-willed idiot, and Thousand Oaks' fate today is purely your own fault. "

"Who do you call an idiot?"

Chen Yizhou frowned like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and rushed over to grab the executive's collar.

The executive pushed Chen Yizhou away, pointed to his head, "Hit, hit here, hurry up, Thousand Oaks will just pay me some medical expenses."

"What? Don't dare to fight? Oh, I almost forgot, it may be difficult for Thousand Oaks to pay for medical expenses now."

"Go to Nimad..."

The executive's mouth was too poisonous, Chen Yizhou couldn't hold it anymore, and was about to throw a punch.

"Bang bang bang~"

There was a knock at the door.

Chen Yizhou stopped moving, the executive hurriedly found a step, and walked towards the door cursing, ready to leave.

After opening the door, the executive glanced at Liu Jian who was standing at the door, and then found a group of people standing behind Liu Jianjian, with astonished expressions, sighed, shook his head and left.

Because of the obstructed view, Chen Yizhou only saw Liu Jian standing at the door and a piece of paper in the latter's hand.

Chen Yizhou's eyes turned cold all of a sudden, and he said sarcastically, "Liu Jian, even you have found a next home?"

Liu Jian froze for a moment, and then wanted to explain.

But Chen Yizhou didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and scolded: "Hurry up and get out! Thousand Oaks left you trash..."

Chen Yizhou was about to continue scolding, but when he saw the person who appeared after Liu Jianjian, he seemed to be choked by the throat suddenly and could not speak.

"Curse! Continue to scold! Let me see who is the trash."

Zhang Fan pulled Liu Jian's shoulders away, strode into the office, and looked at Chen Yizhou with disgust.

"As long as your hand skills are half as good as your mouth, Thousand Oaks will not fall to where it is today."

Zhang Fan was about to continue his sarcasm, but was slapped by Xiong Xiaoge, Zhu Linan and others who came in from behind, and then he pursed his mouth and closed his mouth unwillingly.

"Mr. Xiong, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Yan... who are you?"

Chen Yizhou looked at the shareholders who appeared neatly in front of him, and felt a little excited, but he was not sure about his guess, which made his speech tremble a little.

Looking at Chen Yizhou's cowardly appearance, Zhang Fan really wanted to rush up and kick him. What about the prestige you just cursed? Only dare to swing a knife at the weak, this is the performance of cowards.

Like him, he dared to point at Xia Jingxing's nose and scold. No entrepreneur or investor in China has his courage, even the conscientious Mu Shixin can't do this.

Considering that the next plan would require Chen Yizhou's cooperation, Zhang Fan temporarily controlled the anger in his heart.

Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said, "I came to see you today to tell you a good thing, Liu Jian, please tell me."

Liu Jian had just been scolded indiscriminately by Chen Yizhou, feeling angry, picked up the document in his hand, and said coldly: "In view of Thousand Oaks' current predicament, Sequoia, IDG Capital, Legend Capital... will jointly invest Thousand Oaks will give $20 million to help Thousand Oaks get out of the woods."

Hearing that it was only 20 million U.S. dollars, Chen Yizhou felt a little disappointed. You must know that in the past few months, the funds he handled were calculated in hundreds of millions, and the unit was still U.S. dollars.

This little money makes it difficult for him to do anything!

Xiong Xiaoge saw Chen Yizhou's dissatisfaction, and gave him a look, "Why? Too little?"

"I don't hate it, I just feel a little sorry for everyone."

Chen Yizhou shook his head quickly, pretending to be ashamed, trying to win the favor of shareholders.

He really thinks that 20 million US dollars is too little, just like sending beggars, but the reality is that the funds in Thousand Oaks' account are not enough to even pay next month's salary.

The reason why it landed on this scene is entirely due to the gift of conscience. After allocating 200 million investment funds, it will no longer be allocated, resulting in a serious error in Thousand Oaks' capital planning.

Xiong Xiaoge glanced at Chen Yizhou, and said calmly: "The 20 million US dollars is not an unconditional investment, Yizhou, you made a big mistake this time, and it also hurt several of our capital.

In terms of business, we originally planned to stop the loss and withdraw, but we couldn't bear it. After all, we have known each other for many years, and we couldn't help it.

But we have no good solution. LP has heard about Thousand Oaks and has sent letters to several of our companies. Maybe our fund will be liquidated.

Hey, not much to say, this 20 million may not seem like much, but it is the life-saving money that we scraped together for you under the pressure of LP. "

Chen Yizhou's face was full of emotion, and he acted very humble, "Thank you everyone, and you are willing to give me, a sinner, a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"The shareholding structure of Thousand Oaks needs to be changed. We can only reserve 5% of the shares for you at most."

Xiong Xiaoge changed from his usual benevolent eyebrows and began to show his capital fangs.

Hearing this, Chen Yizhou was stunned. He holds more than 30% of the shares of Thousand Oaks. According to the previous valuation of 500 million US dollars, it is a fortune worth 150 million US dollars.

Now, this group of people invested 20 million US dollars, to dilute 25% of his shares, how much is the valuation of Thousand Oaks?

Chen Yizhou, who has studied at Wuhan University, MIT, and Stanford, is a top student, and he will come soon.

According to their plan, just value the current Thousand Oaks at 4 million US dollars and invest 20 million US dollars in it, which means the post-investment valuation is 24 million US dollars.

Chen Yizhou laughed out of breath, "Evaluate Thousand Oaks at 4 million dollars?"

Zhang Fan's eyes were amazed, Chen Yizhou is not useless, he figured out the answer so quickly, and his oral and mental arithmetic skills are definitely at the level of the Olympiad.

"Yes, it's only 4 million U.S. dollars, which is still a bit of affection. With a loss of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, in the eyes of many people, the valuation of Thousand Oaks is already zero." Zhang Fan said coldly.

"fart!"

This gang of capital is really ugly, Chen Yizhou doesn't plan to be a grandson anymore, he showed the kind of arrogance that Zhang Fan admires the most, and glanced at the shareholders standing in front of him, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Chen Yizhou really pissed him off, but Zhang Fan didn't show appreciation, instead he showed displeasure, and was about to scold back.

But how could Chen Yizhou give him this chance? He spoke as fast as a machine gun full of clips, firing non-stop.

"In addition to Renren, Thousand Oaks also owns assets such as DuDu, DuDu Accelerator, Maopu, and Warcraft China.

Zhanzuo.com, UUme, and 5Q Campus.com have been merged into Renren.com, so I won’t mention it.

Even if Thousand Oaks loses the SNS battle, relying on the remaining Internet assets, we are still a second-rate Internet company.

With a valuation of 4 million US dollars, you really treat me as a prey for capital to knead at will?

When I sold ChinaRen for tens of millions of dollars seven years ago, you guys didn't know where to play with mud.

Now there are two stinky coins, trembling in front of me. "

A group of shareholders turned green and pale, except for Xiong Xiaoge, the others were really not as senior as Chen Yizhou.

Don't look at Chen Yizhou's desperation now. Back then, he sold himself to Sohu and cashed in tens of millions of dollars. He was also a famous Internet figure in China.

Zhang Fan didn't intend to get used to Chen Yizhou's stink, looked at the latter with cold eyes, and said, "Is there any money in Thousand Oaks' account? You think you're sure of winning, and embezzled all the funds in Maopu and Warcraft China's accounts for others." Renwang advertised.

Now that the funds promised by the conscience department are cut off, these valuable assets in your mouth will go bankrupt one by one next month. "

Zhu Linan scratched his nose, and was called by Zhang Fan. He was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know if Zhang Fan did it on purpose. Could it be that he was dissatisfied with their lack of investment in the conscience system?

The alliance is like this now. It has long been at odds with each other, and the interior is full of cracks and distrust.

Tong Shijie watched all this with cold eyes, full of pride in his heart, at least half of the credit for Thousand Oaks' success today was due to his unsung hero.

If it wasn't for his internal support, Xia Jingxing's control of the situation would not be so good.

Chen Yizhou stared back at Zhang Fan without showing any weakness, and said with a sneer, "Threat me? Without your 20 million dollars, Thousand Oaks can't survive?"

Zhang Fan sneered, "You can try it, who dares to invest in you, a bad god?"

"It's really stupid enough."

Chen Yizhou said to himself, "I was deceived by lard back then, so I chose you idiots as teammates."

"Chen Yizhou, you are the CEO, and now you are putting the blame on us. I invested in you only because I was blind." Zhang Fan has always been unwilling to take advantage of words, and quickly scolded back.

Chen Yizhou glanced at the silent Xiong Xiaoge, and said with a sneer, "You think you can eat me? Do you want to swallow Thousand Oaks to replenish your blood?"

Speaking of this, Chen Yizhou raised his voice and almost roared out of his chest, "I will not fulfill your wish! I will sell Thousand Oaks to Xia Jingxing, and I will not agree to your terms."

Xiong Xiaoge's heart skipped a beat, she had calculated thousands of times, and missed Xia Jingxing.

With Xia Jingxing's urine and Haineiwang's current strength, it's easy to swallow Thousand Oaks.

However, their losses are huge.

Seeing that Zhang Fan was about to open his mouth to fight back, Xiong Xiaoge pulled him, changed his kind expression, and said, "Hey, Yizhou, what are you talking about, Thousand Oaks is here today, thanks to Xia Jingxing.

If you look for him, do you think he will take Thousand Oaks to pieces? And what do the outside world think of you?

Anyway, you are also a well-known figure in the Internet industry, and we have to protect the last bit of dignity. "

Chen Yizhou sneered, and started to use "we" now. To be honest, it's okay for Xiong Xiaoge to bully people in the industry with this trick. How can an old fritter like him be bullied by capital?

Xiong Xiaoge softened his tone and said: "Here is 20 million US dollars, we hope you can maintain the normal operation of Maopu and Warcraft China.

At the same time, we are also recruiting a game team to develop a farming game as soon as possible.

Renren has 30 million users, as long as we make the game, there may not be no chance of turning defeat into victory. "

Chen Yizhou sneered, he had basically figured out the real thinking of this group of capital, the sunk cost was too high, so high that he was reluctant to jump off the broken car of Thousand Oaks.

Add some oil to Thousand Oaks and try to see if it can be driven forward. If not, disassemble the parts and sell them.

Thinking of this, Chen Yizhou also started to tremble, and said coldly, "Get lost! 4 million US dollars, who is this insulting?"

Zhang Fan was completely irritated by Chen Yizhou's expression, and just about to explode, Xiong Xiaoge pressed his shoulder.

"You can mention it if you have the conditions!"

Xiong Xiaoge looked at Chen Yizhou with a calm expression, and said in a very serious tone: "But the premise is that we can't exceed our psychological bottom line. We have invested too much in Thousand Oaks, so much that we are not allowed to lose again." once."

Chen Yizhou said indifferently: "The pre-money valuation of 200 million US dollars is less than this amount, so there is nothing to talk about."

Zhang Fan was furious with the three corpses, obviously they came to threaten Chen Yizhou, but it turned out to be the other way around, which made him feel extremely humiliated.

This idiot has lost so much money, and now he still has the face to negotiate terms.

Xiong Xiaoge shook his head, and said in an unquestionable tone: "It's only 20 million US dollars, or it will be down."

"Then pull it down, I'll contact Xia Jingxing later."

Chen Yizhou smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I'm still Xia Jingxing's senior brother, and Lin Xinhe is also Stanford's senior fellow student. Zhu Min, I want to call out my senior brother. It shouldn't be difficult to find them to build a bridge."

Looking at Chen Yizhou's shameless face, Zhang Fan couldn't bear it anymore, and walked outside, saying as he walked, "You just begged me to vote, and I won't vote again."

Xiong Xiaoge realized that this was an opportunity, and he couldn't let Chen Yizhou be ripped off, so he spread his hands, "Let's do it this way, you can negotiate a good price with Xia Jingxing, and you can make up for some losses for us."

After finishing speaking, Xiong Xiaoge left without delay.

A group of small shareholders who didn't interrupt much followed Xiong Xiaoge and left.

Among them, Tong Shijie was also included.

When he walked to the door, he glanced back at Chen Yizhou calmly, and found that a trace of worry flashed across the face of the founder who was still confident just now.

This made his heart move!
