Rebirth Starts From 2006

The current shareholding ratio of Sohu Weibo is that Sohu.com and Lao Zhang jointly hold 35%, Honggu Capital holds 35%, and Goose Factory holds 21%. Thousand degrees account for only nine percent,

So this time, Lao Li’s attitude was the most resolute, “Qiandu’s shares are already small, so it’s impossible for us to give it up this time, right?!”

Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not as generous as Mr. Chen, and I'm decisive. I have capital behind me, so I can't give in too much. In this way, we will pay for the remaining five points for external investors." Three o'clock."

Xiao Ma touched the mahjong, looked at the three of them with a grin, and said helplessly, "So, we have to give up two points?!"

Honggu has given up five points, which is the most. Although Lao Zhang has not given up as much as Chen Yang, he can handle three points. Qiandu does have the smallest share. If he reduces it any further, he will become a minority shareholder.

However, today Sohu Weibo is valued at 100 million, and it may become 500 million in half a year. One of the points in this is millions of dollars in benefits.

The further you go, the greater the benefits. Although the capital market pays attention to the equalization of benefits, there is also a need to compare every penny spent!

The share ratio between Goose Factory and Qiandu was earned based on their own ability, so why should they give it up? !

Xiao Ma held the mahjong in his hand and knocked it on the table in a circle, staring at the mahjong with a serious expression, as if he was considering which card to play.

The other three were not in a hurry, drinking tea slowly and waiting.

After a while, seeing that Brother Ma still didn't play his cards, Boss Chen, a young boy, couldn't help but feel impatient and said angrily,

"Isn't it just a card? If this game doesn't work, there will be another game,"

As he said that, he turned to look at Lao Zhang, "By the way, can Sou Gou be an A-rounder?!"

Snapped……

"Twenty thousand!"

Xiao Ma finally played a card and said with a serious face, "Let's take care of the remaining two points. In addition, we can also help with the new investors."

Then he looked at Lao Zhang and said, "Sou Gou, is it the most popular Sou Gou input method?

Frankly speaking, Mr. Zhang, we are all insiders, so we won’t speak in layman’s terms. It is difficult for input methods to make a profit. At most, they can only serve to attract traffic and solidify customers. If the profit model is not solved, the future will be worrying! "

With the installation of the Sougou input method on Damai mobile phones, this new smart input method has quickly conquered the city and seized a large share of the input methods that come with PC systems.

Although Sougou has never announced their installed base, it can be seen from the sales of Damai mobile phones that there are at least 50 million people using this input method.

What a huge market this is!

Must catch!

Therefore, Lao Li stood aside and immediately stabbed him when he saw this, "So, Ma always doesn't plan to invest in this money?"

"Look what you said!"

Xiao Ma turned around, glanced at him angrily, and explained patiently, "What I mean is that there must be a suitable business model to successfully monetize the user resources of Sou Gou Company. Otherwise, what's the point of simply being free? use?"

He also laughed at himself, "Is it like my KouKou back then? In 1999, I had hundreds of thousands of users, but I couldn't make a penny.

I want to sell it. I dropped it from 3 million to 1 million and no one wanted it. Soohu finally agreed to negotiate. Mr. Zhang sent a specialist over and said it was worth 50,000 at most. I was so embarrassed that I almost found someone to drill into. Get in! "

"Hey, hey, hey,"

Lao Zhang banged the mahjong table and said with dissatisfaction,

"It all happened in what year and month, and you brought it up and said, why didn't you say that at that time, you were losing so much money that you were losing money, and you couldn't even pay the server fee of more than a thousand a month, so I gave it to you with good intentions. If you ask for 300,000 yuan, you won’t sell it.

Later, Telecom offered you 600,000 yuan, but you regretted it.

I'm not telling you that when you go out to do business, you should pay attention to every word you spit and nail it. You have already promised others, but then regretted it when the battle came. You really don't do business like this! "

If only Xiao Ma had signed it back then, at least today there would still be three major portals instead of four major portals.

Xiao Ma was thick-skinned, but Quan pretended not to hear and continued, "Anyway, what I mean is that Sou Gou must have a reasonable valuation, and it must also have a suitable business model!"

Lao Zhang immediately pointed at Chen Yang, "You have to ask Mr. Chen about this. He was the one who proposed investing in Sou Dog. Mr. Chen must have a plan!"

Chen Yang was not afraid, he slowly touched a card, played a nine, and said with a smile, "I can do it, but this has to be considered a creative patent, right?!

If you agree that I won’t invest money or reduce my shares, then I will give you a profit plan! "

"Mr. Chen said Laughing Bird!"

Lao Li touched a card and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh, I finally got mad, give me money, give me money."

Chen Yang looked over and couldn't help but look down with disdain, "You're pushing a small mustache? You're really out of luck."

Lao Li's eyes squinted, "Didn't you propose to play together? Let me tell you, the minimum starting price is ten yuan!"

Xiao Ma suppressed a laugh and said, "It's not much better, I'm just playing fifty!"

Lao Zhang didn't even bother to roll his eyes. If it weren't for the business worth tens of millions of dollars, I would accompany you to play mahjong for a few dollars? Doesn’t he look good in bars and nightclubs? !

Collecting the three dollars happily, Lao Li chuckled and said, "To borrow what Mr. Ma just said, we are all insiders, so we won't speak in layman's terms. It is not difficult to realize Sou Gou's resources.

It’s nothing more than using portals, e-commerce, games, etc. to connect traffic.

So please don't try me out here, it's boring.

In one sentence, no matter how much the valuation is or how much financing is raised, Qiandu cannot be the least this time! "

After all, it is ranked number one in domestic search engines. It is so shameless to be at the bottom every time I invest!

Shuffling the code cards, Lao Zhang thought and said,

"Sogou, Mr. Chen proposed to invest at the beginning. At that time, Mr. Chen invested 10 million US dollars, accounting for 35% of the shares, Souhu.com accounted for 53%, and the rest Twelve percent was left to the management team as option incentives, and now it has basically been cashed out.

If we want to raise funds, Mr. Chen and I can make the decision. But, again, it’s not appropriate to go too high or too low. The most important thing is where Sou Gou will go public! "

Chen Yang coded the cards, picked up one in his hand, and said with a smile, "Although there is smoke everywhere in the business world, there is also a saying that harmony makes money. We sent the Sohu Weibo to Xiangjiang, Mr. Zhang and Li Anyway, the American capital behind these two people is probably not without nonsense, right?!"

Seeing the two bosses shaking their heads and smiling bitterly, Chen Yang smiled and played the cards in his hand.

“What’s this valuation like?”

The three of them looked at the only 20,000 card on the table and narrowed their eyes slightly.

After a while, Xiao Ma pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "Is the valuation of 200 million US dollars a bit high?"

According to a year ago, Chen Yang’s investment of 10 million accounted for 35% of the shares. Even if Damai’s promotional resources are included, the valuation is about 40 million US dollars.

In just one year, it has increased five times, well...

It doesn't seem unacceptable.

Lao Zhang said unceremoniously, "Back then, Koukou only had one million registrations, and it was valued at US$5.5 million. Today, the number of downloads of Sogou has exceeded 60 million. Why can't it be worth US$200 million?!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ma immediately gave up and said, "I have no objection to the valuation. What is the financing ratio?"

Lao Li hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Chen just mentioned the issue of external capital. Should they be counted as part of this round of financing?"

Chen Yang touched a card and said with a faint smile, "Similar to Sohu Weibo, Honggu Capital will reduce its holdings by 5%. I don't care about the rest."

After finalizing the valuation and determining the ratio, the rest is just a matter of how much money to invest. Who has more and who has less has nothing to do with him.

It’s so transcendent!

The three bosses looked at each other, then lowered their voices and played mahjong silently without speaking.

They are different from the powerful Boss Chen. How much they invest, how much the company invests, and how much they give to the backers are all involved. It cannot be decided in a few words.

Especially now, Rainbow Fund is well-known. As a conjoined company of Rainbow Fund, Honggu Capital has almost become one of the trendsetters in the investment industry. Investments with the participation of Rainbow Valley Capital basically have no worries about financing.

The difference is that the companies under Honggu really have no precedent for opening up financing. Otherwise, no matter whether it was a financial crisis or not, people would have gone crazy.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhang's heart moved slightly, he turned to look at Chen Yang and said with a smile,

"Mr. Chen, there are so many companies under Honggu, including Damai, Huahuo, Hengli, and Anjia, just pick one out, they are all powerful people. Do you plan to keep these companies under wraps?"

Hearing this, Lao Li and Xiao Ma raised their heads together,

That’s it for other companies, it has little to do with them, but if they can invest in barley, even if it’s a small stake, they would want to get involved.

Damai’s mobile phone is not important, but who doesn’t covet Damai’s user platform?

When Chen Yang wanted to make his own Damai browser half a year ago, no one took him seriously. He asked for people, technology for technology, and resources for resources. As a result, half a year later,

No, to be precise, since the first release of Damai smartphones and tablets in April, in just three months, the number of users of Damai browser and Damai game platform has exceeded 10 million in a record-breaking manner. class,

If it weren’t for insufficient terminal equipment, it would only be a matter of time before the breakthrough reaches 100 million.

They are also old people on the Internet. They have only seen the Internet divert traffic to an entity. This is the first time they have seen an entity divert traffic to an Internet platform. It can be regarded as a gain in knowledge.

So, if Damai really opens up its equity, no matter how much it is, they must get a share of the pie!

Facing three pairs of expectant eyes, Chen Yang twirled his mahjong fingers, smiled, and said, "Unless it is a family business, how can anyone keep the company in their hands?!

Of course we plan to open financing to these companies, but now is not a particularly suitable time,”

After a pause, Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "Next year, after the Spring Festival, Honggu Capital will gradually launch all its companies into the capital market!"

next year?

Hearing this time, Lao Zhang's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of what Chen Yang said to him some time ago,

Rainbow Group will establish two closed-end funds in December, and the completion time will be around New Year’s Day.

So, if the companies under Honggu open up for financing, there will definitely be investment from one of the funds.

That makes sense!

Thinking of this, Lao Zhang laughed, and before Lao Li and Xiao Ma could react, he took a picture of mahjong and said,

"Okay, as long as you have a plan, don't be afraid of being late for a good meal. Then we will wait until next year!"

Seeing what Lao Zhang said, Lao Li and Xiao Ma didn't know what to say, so they laughed and agreed a few times.

"but,"

At this time, Chen Yang's hand holding the cards suddenly paused, looked around, and said thoughtfully,

"Other companies can let it go first, but Anjia.com, are you interested?"

Anjia.com?

The three of them looked at each other again, and then all looked at Chen Yang.

Or was it Lao Zhang who said, "Is that the real estate agency website?"

"right,"

Chen Yang played a card and went out, and said seriously, "Originally, when I established Anjia.com, it was based on the common situation of real estate agencies deceiving customers, so the basis for Anjia.com to start a business was to have 100% authentic housing listings. !

Moreover, I told the entrepreneurial management team at that time that we must stick to the bottom line and would rather slow down the expansion than lower the service quality. "

"But,"

Lao Li looked at him curiously and said puzzledly, "I remember that Anjia.com expanded very quickly. Although Anjia.com relied on Anjia Real Estate for expansion,

But since entering this year, Anjia.com has set up sub-stations in twenty major cities, and the search volume is increasing day by day. The number of members now should exceed one million, right? "

It doesn't look like there are many millions, but the members Anjia.com attracts are users with real needs, rather than the mostly useless visitors to ordinary websites.

As long as we can find a suitable conversion group for this group of precise customers, millions of members can generate more economic benefits than 50 million ordinary website members!

Chen Yang was not surprised at all by what Lao Li said.

After all, Qiandu is the largest search engine in China, occupying more than 90% of the market share. It can be said that as long as you are willing, no data on the Internet can escape his sight.

Obviously, Lao Li came prepared for the appointment today.

Chen Yang swiped his cards and said with a fake smile,

"This is my biggest headache. I never thought that Anjia.com would develop so fast before, so I told the management team that we would not raise funds within two years.

Unexpectedly, consumers suffered from false information from intermediaries, but Anjia's fame and reputation combined to achieve such great success.

The current number of member registrations has far exceeded the previous two-year expectations for the company. I am worried about whether the service quality can keep up with the growth of members.

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of company development or internal management rectification, it is time to start financing. "

Hearing this, Lao Zhang laughed with joy, pointed at the pony and said,

"Mr. Chen, what you said makes you deserve a beating just like Mr. Ma did back then.

We who work on the Internet have always dreamed of how to attract traffic, but there happened to be a company that thought there were too many users and even restricted membership registration.

What you said today is very similar to what Mr. Ma said back then! "
