Chapter 105 Penguin Equity Finally
On the second day, Zhuo Ziyuan didn't get up until after 8 o'clock in the morning. He had no choice but to spend half an hour reading the contract last night. Considering the importance of Penguin's equity, Zhuo Ziyuan was a little too excited and didn't fall asleep until about 3 o'clock in the morning.
However, 5 hours of sleep is actually enough for him to regain his energy.
After washing, Zhuo Ziyuan called Li Xinyuan and Xu Ziqiang, and Lu Tao went downstairs to have breakfast together.
"Brother, the breakfast in the hotel is free, right?" Li Xinyuan looked at the surrounding dishes with some suspicion, a little dizzying.
"Well, it's free, and it's included in the room price."
"This is so rich. It's better than what we usually spend money to eat at restaurants."
"All five-star hotels should be like this. The cost for us to stay for one night is very high." Zhuo Ziyuan was not sure.
Putting all his past lives together, this is the first time Zhuo Ziyuan has stayed in a five-star hotel. The breakfast is really rich. It can be said that it has almost everything. Not to mention coffee and milk, there is even red wine and steak. Zhuo Ziyuan
I even saw sashimi, those
The snacks are so exquisitely made. This is simply better than a luxurious buffet. It can be said that poverty limits your imagination. Zhuo Zi in his previous life could not even imagine that a free breakfast could be so rich. This
No wonder the cost of five-star hotels is so high.
Now this is a real five-star hotel, unlike the five-star hotels that are advertised all over the streets in later generations. Even low-price tour groups will say they are staying in five-star international hotels, but in fact there is nothing.
This breakfast can also be said to be the best breakfast Zhuo Ziyuan has ever eaten. In line with the principle of eating nothing, Zhuo Ziyuan and Li Xinyuan did not restrain themselves. After eating, they felt so satisfied.
The formal signing was scheduled half an hour before the press conference. Zhuo Ziyuan personally signed the document. This was also the rule he had set. He would sign all contracts of Youdao Capital. He still had to make the final check and wait for him.
Once capital is sufficient, consider delegating power.
As for signing the contract at 9:30, it is normal. There will also be a signing ceremony at the press conference at 10 o'clock. It is not just a formality. The real contracts are signed in advance. Otherwise, after the press conference, if one party
If you return, that won’t be funny anymore.
Zhuo Ziyuan originally thought that he could see the son of the richest man at the signing site and look familiar to him. Unexpectedly, the other party did not show up at all, but just asked a person in charge from below to come. It seems logical that the other party is not like a small business like Youdao Capital.
Just to make a joke, Youdao Capital currently only has 10 million U.S. dollars in capital, and he is also the son of the richest man, and his scale may be ten times or hundreds of times that of Youdao. For such a multi-million-dollar business, there is no need to personally come forward.
.
At the press conference at ten o'clock, Zhuo Ziyuan was just sitting in the venue as a spectator. Not to mention, Penguin's appeal was really strong. Reporters from more than a dozen newspapers such as Shenzhen Daily, Economic News, and Commercial News came.
There were people holding long guns and short sticks to take pictures, and there was also a question-and-answer session.
In addition to asking questions about Penguin's future development plan, more reporters pointed their fingers at Youdao Capital. It was the first time for everyone to hear about this capital company, and it made such a large investment, eight million U.S. dollars. According to current
The exchange rate is an investment of nearly 66 million RMB, which is a very large investment. If nothing unexpected happens, it can almost enter the top ten investments of the year.
"Excuse me, is Youdao Capital a newly established capital company?" Daily reporter.
"Please forgive us for keeping this confidential. What I can say is that we are a strong investment company. Come to think of it, no one will deny this. During this difficult period, I still have sufficient capital to enter the Internet market." Xu Ziqiang answered confidently.
“Can you introduce the investment direction of Youdao Capital?”
"The original intention of our establishment is to devote ourselves to the development of the Internet and assist domestic Internet companies to grow rapidly."
"Why is Youdao Capital so optimistic about Penguin? It only holds 20% of the shares at US$8 million, which means that the valuation of Penguin has reached US$40 million, more than 300 million RMB."
"What we value is the ability of Mr. Ma's team. We believe that Mr. Ma's team can bring us enough benefits. Thank you!"
"By saying this, do you mean that you think Yingdong Capital is not optimistic about Mr. Ma's team?" This is the reporter who stirred up trouble. As a reporter, of course, he hopes that there will be highlights in his reports, and this kind of embarrassing question can easily become a problem.
Highlights.
"I think we can only say that Yingdong's investment direction is different from ours. I have said before that Youdao Capital is committed to the development of the Internet, and in just two years, Yingdong's investment in Penguin has doubled several times.
, with such a profit ratio, Yingdong should be regarded as a big winner."
I didn't expect Xu Ziqiang to be so eloquent and to resolve such a problem so easily, and he also praised Yingdong by the way.
"You have always said that Youdao Capital is committed to the development of the Internet. Do you have any next goals?"
"Youdao Capital welcomes all domestic Internet startups. No matter how small the Internet startups are, we will treat them with all our strength. As for the next goals, we are already planning. Well, let's not take over the spotlight and get back to the topic.
I think everyone should know more about the development of Penguin, thank you everyone!" Xu Ziqiang concluded and brought the topic back to Brother Ma.
Zhuo Ziyuan gave Xu Ziqiang a thumbs up in the audience. He really looked down on him before.
After all, most of these reporters were invited by Penguin, so they did not continue to embarrass Xu Ziqiang and started interviewing the protagonist, Brother Ma.
Of course, Xiao Ma took this opportunity to advocate his views on the Internet and repeated what Zhuo Ziyuan said yesterday. Zhuo Ziyuan didn't mind this, as he is a person who likes to keep a low profile.
The interview ended quickly. Penguin Company organized a dinner party, and the lunch was arranged in the hotel's cafeteria. All arriving reporters could enjoy it for free, showing their magnanimity. These scenes seemed to be done by Xiao Ma, a technical man.
It’s also quite convenient.
Xiao Ma specially brought several senior executives from the company to get to know Zhuo Ziyuan. Early this morning, he gathered all the senior executives and went to the company for a meeting at 7 o'clock to discuss Zhuo Ziyuan's two proposals. The result was obvious.
The management generally believed that it was feasible, so during the introduction, the senior executives showed considerable respect to Zhuo Ziyuan, and Zhuo Ziyuan was very happy to see such a scene.
"Mr. Zhuo, I don't know how to arrange the next trip?" Brother Xiao Ma took the initiative to care about Zhuo Ziyuan's trip.
"It's my first time for my sister and I to come to Shenzhen City, so I want to go shopping this afternoon and fly back tomorrow morning. Does Mr. Ma have any recommendations?" Although time is limited, I still want to take Li Xinyuan out with me.
Whenever you go there, you should always visit the famous local attractions.
Brother Xiao Ma thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this, Mr. Zhuo, I will arrange a car for you in the afternoon and arrange a tour guide for you by the way. As you know, we are technical people and we are quite homely. To be honest, what is there to do in Shenzhen City?"
, I really don’t understand it very well.”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ma. Originally we didn't know where to go."
"Anyway, Zhuo is always our honored guest and should be taken care of properly."
"Lu Lu, Mr. Xu, do you want to stay and play together and change the flight back tomorrow?" Zhuo Ziyuan asked Lu Tao and Xu Ziqiang incidentally. Zhuo Ziyuan's decision to play was not told to them in advance.
I booked a round trip ticket before coming to Shenzhen.
"No need, Mr. Zhuo, we will go back to Dongdu in the afternoon." The two of them said in unison. They were joking. The boss and his "sister" were going on a trip. Should they make light bulbs? They couldn't do such stupid things.
"Okay, you have your own things to do. It's okay to go back. You will have plenty of opportunities to play in the future." Zhuo Ziyuan did not force him to stay.
"Then I'll make arrangements right away. Manager Lu, come and go." As Brother Xiao Ma said, he called for the company's administrative person to give the instructions. A woman who looked to be in her 30s, dressed in professional attire, looked very smart.
capable.
"Mr. Zhuo and his sister are going to visit Shenzhen City in the afternoon. You can arrange a car and arrange for someone to act as a tour guide. By the way, the car will be arranged for Zhuo Zi to be transported to the airport tomorrow."
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I'll make arrangements now." The woman named Lu simply followed the order.
"Mr. Zhuo, our two proposals yesterday have been discussed internally this morning and have been officially approved and included in the later plans. The development of these two projects requires a lot of funds. We will currently develop the game. Personally
The space will be pushed back. These two projects were proposed by Mr. Zhuo. Mr. Zhuo must have deeper thoughts. I wonder if Mr. Zhuo can give more opinions."
It turns out that Brother Xiao Ma came today to extract more hard goods from Zhuo Ziyuan.
Zhuo Ziyuan smiled and said, "I just have a concept about these two directions. How to implement it depends on the strength of your team. The three cobblers are all the same as Zhuge Liang, not to mention you are so
How elite, I am not Zhuge Liang. However, if your product development is almost complete, I can understand
Let’s try it out. Maybe we can give some reasonable suggestions when the time comes. As for board games, I think you should collect as many gameplays from all over the country as possible, so that netizens from all cities can participate. Don’t worry.
Put it on the market to prevent users from getting tired prematurely and being attracted to other game platforms.”
"Well, Mr. Zhuo said so, we will definitely consider it. Once we conduct internal testing, we will inform Mr. Zhuo as soon as possible. Then we will need Mr. Zhuo's help to experience it." Although it did not go as expected, Xiao Ma was not disappointed.
They didn't talk much after that, and said goodbye to each other soon after the meal.
The woman surnamed Lu arranged a young girl as a tour guide for Zhuo Ziyuan and the others, named Liu Qin, who was from the administration department. She was a sweet-talking, talkative Mr. Zhuo, and Miss Li.
After some pleasantries, we got to the point, "Mr. Zhuo, Miss Li, I wonder if there is any place you want to visit."
"We are not very familiar with Shenzhen City. Please introduce it to us."
Liu Qin introduced a bunch of scenic spots. Zhuo Ziyuan was not interested in seeing the scenery. It was okay to play with Li Xinyuan at the amusement park. But when Liu Qin introduced the last scenic spot, Zhuo Ziyuan decided to go there.
Window of the World, Liu Qin introduced that this scenic spot is a miniature version of the world's major scenic spots and historic sites, which are collectively built into a scenic spot. Zhuo Ziyuan is very interested. He didn't go to many countries in his previous life, so he will first take a look at the miniature version in this life.
