Chapter 782 The shopping mall is like a battlefield

Realizing that Bian Xuedao’s goal was to make the entire Kaixin.com, Cheng Hao’s hair suddenly stood up.

Once your bet fails, Youdao Investment Group will hold 51% of Kaixin.com shares, no more or less, exactly 51%!

This is definitely not a coincidence. This is a deliberate betting agreement, and the attempt is to control Kaixin.com.

Cheng Hao especially wanted to get up and leave, and then threw the door of Bian Xuedao's office to express his dissatisfaction, but he restrained it.

Taking a few deep breaths, Cheng Hao said word by word: "Actually, I think 5 million US dollars is enough for the first round of financing."

Bian Xuedao laughed sunnyly after hearing this. He turned around and pointed to the project planning book of Kaixin.com on his desk and said, "That's not what you wrote in your planning book."

Cheng Hao looked entangled.

Bian Xuedaoze said with a relaxed look: "In the eyes of my investment team, since you value a seed project to US$30 million, it means you must be very confident in this project. I think... your confidence will not only be reflected in the valuation, but also in the project prospects. In addition, to be honest, I think the 30% compound growth rate indicator is not only not high, but very low. Mr. Cheng, you don't have to have too many concerns. This betting agreement not only protects the interests of investors, but also has an incentive effect on the happy management. The essence of the agreement is to pursue win-win results."

Bian Xuedao's words made Cheng Hao undisputed.

It is mainly because of the theory that Bian Xuedao speaks.

A website with no shadow is worth $30 million, and the investment of $10 million is only exchanged for 36% of the equity.

I am full of confidence when valuing, but I become impotent when betting on the development prospects. This makes no sense!

Cheng Hao was silent for a while, stood up and said, "Mr. Bian, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll give you a reply within 48 hours."

Bian Xuedao stood up from the sofa with a smile, and Chong Hao stretched out his right hand.

Holding the two hands together, Bian Xuedao said: "Everyone has different positions and I hope you can understand. No matter what, I am still optimistic about your project. I sincerely hope that Kaixin.com can blaze a SNS path that meets the domestic environment and the needs of netizens."

Cheng Hao held Bian Xuedao's hand and said, "Can you always give me a word before you leave?"

Bian Xuedao pulled his hand back, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, looked back at Cheng Hao and said, "Think about the failure clearly in everything, and you can bear all the failures. Of course, I am very happy to succeed... I encourage you."

……………………

After seeing Cheng Hao off, Bian Xuedao sat back at his desk, thought for a few minutes, and pressed the inside line and said to the secretary: "Let General Wu come to my office, and Huo Dongfeng."

Soon, a knock came from the door.

"Enter!"

Wu Sijie and Huo Dongfeng walked in one after another.

Huo Dongfeng is the investment manager poached by Wu Sijie. He is less than 40 years old. He is handsome and elegant, with a high appearance. He is well-known in the circle.

Seeing the two of them arrive, Bian Xuedao pointed to the reception area and said, "Go and sit there and talk."

The betting agreement between Bian Xuedao and Cheng Hao just now was proposed by Wu Sijie and designed by Huo Dongfeng, so Bian Xuedao wanted to hear the two of them.

After listening to Bian Xuedao's reaction just now, Wu Sijie nodded and said, "This is not surprising. 51% equity is a lifelong life for all founders of the company, unless he wants to cash out, he will run away."

After saying that, Wu Sijie asked Huo Dongfeng sideways: "Dongfeng, do you think Cheng Hao will agree?"

Huo Dongfeng said calmly: "I will agree, but I am not optimistic about the long-term prospects of Kaixin.com."

Bian Xuedao became interested: "Tell me."

Huo Dongfeng said: "I investigated Cheng Hao's entrepreneurial team through relationships, and the results showed that except for him, Happy Company lacked an auxiliary deputy. The other members of the team were all technicians. A considerable number of these people were Cheng Hao's subordinates when he was in XL."

Speaking of this, Huo Dongfeng paused for a moment and continued: "The most important thing is that the company has been established and there is no entry, so it is still the same team."

Wu Sijie interrupted: "This is indeed a problem. For a successful company, the management must be multi-dimensional. If the team is not supplemented in time and experts in operations, products, markets, HR and other aspects are added, the one-dimensional management team will definitely be in the end."

Huo Dongfeng nodded and said, "Yes. The company's best skills are strong technical capabilities, rapid product development capabilities, and the energy to survive to the end when encountering difficulties.

God. But the disadvantage is that he pursues absolute correctness, blindly pursues perfection, and lacks the ability to respond to rapid trial and error and quick correction..."

Seeing that Bian Xuedao only listened but didn't speak, Wu Sijie said, "I just got a message."

Bian Xuedao asked: "What news?"

Wu Sijie said: "The domain name of kaixin.com has been registered by others, and the owner asks for a price of 40,000 US dollars. Cheng Hao contacted the person who owns the kaixin.com domain name, but he did not reach an agreement. He chose the domain name of kaixin001.com he registered as the domain name of Kaixin.com."

Is this still the case?

Seeing Bian Xuedao narrowing his eyes and thinking, Wu Sijie pressed one hand on the coffee table and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, Kaixin.com games are copied from Facebook. If Cheng Hao refuses to cooperate, we can buy the kaixin.com domain name and do it ourselves."

Huo Dongfeng responded: "I agree with Mr. Wu's proposal."

Bian Xuedao habitually took out a cigarette, put it under his nose and smelled it, saying, "Say the reason."

Huo Dongfeng has not been involved in Youdao Group for a long time, but after several contacts, he has adapted to Bian Xuedao's leadership style. He said bluntly: "The Internet industry is the most ruthless! Even if you have over 100 million users yesterday, a popular new product appeared today, and the users will leave you instantly, and the company's valuation will plummet."

"I saw him rise up a tall building, I saw him entertain guests, I saw him collapse. In recent years, many examples have shown that the Internet industry is a thousand times more realistic and ten thousand times more cruel than the entertainment industry. The outdated stars in the entertainment industry can travel around counties and small and medium-sized enterprises in various places with a few songs from the past to get some living expenses. Even if an outdated website is humbly providing free services, it is difficult to get attention because many people have forgotten their registered account."

Seeing that the two bosses listened very seriously and knew that the opportunity to perform was rare, Huo Dongfeng continued: "The founding team of Kaixin.com has hidden dangers, but it cannot be denied that this project has a certain market value. If Kaixin.com becomes really popular after it goes online, it will definitely have an impact on the Weibo project of the group's subsidiary. As for the intensity of the impact, it cannot be judged now."

"My idea is that Zhi opens a small game for Weibo, and it is not difficult to build a farm to grab parking spaces. Kaixin.com sets up speech interaction and reposting functions, and builds an interpersonal network. So, Weibo and Kaixin.com, one is Zhuge Liang and the other is Zhou Yu, are born to be opponents. Since you already know the existence of Kaixin.com, you must either hold it in your hands or kill it in the cradle and you cannot be ruthless."

The office is quiet and you can hear the needle.

Bian Xuedao closed his eyes and kneaded the cigarette in his hand back and forth. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Dongfeng, stop being an investment manager. Yanjing Branch lacks a deputy general manager. You will take office tomorrow. Also, contact the kaixin domain name immediately and buy it."

……………………

The first floor of the basement of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Yanjing.

The swimming pool was not big, so Pao Xuedao swam back and forth ten times in one go, and found a large recliner to lie down, covered his bath towel around his waist, and quietly enjoyed the black and white movie "Roman Holiday" that was playing on the huge screen opposite.

The reason why he stayed in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel was largely because he liked the environment of the indoor pool of the hotel. The light green spotlights reflected the pool water particularly unique, with a partition between each two rest areas to ensure the privacy of the guests. The most special thing was the huge screen hanging on one side of the swimming pool. The old black and white movies combined with the emerald green club pool create a rich nostalgic atmosphere.

At this time, Bian Xuedao was watching movies but thinking about business.

He was thinking about Kaixin.com and what Huo Dongfeng said in the afternoon.

If Cheng Hao agrees to cooperate and agrees to bet, everything is easy to say, because he holds 36% of the shares and even if he is not a major shareholder, he has the right to speak. At least he can exert influence on the strategic direction of Kaixin.com and avoid confrontation between Kaixin.com and Zhiwei Weibo. If done, he can achieve strategic complementarity.

In Bian Xuedao's mind, I hope to see this result, because it is in line with his "original intention" of supporting a group of small and medium-sized emerging enterprises with development potential, allowing more people to embark on the road of entrepreneurship and achieve win-win results.

If Cheng Hao refuses, given that Kaixin.com and Zhiwei Weibo have "attributes incompatible" and Bianxue Taoism, he will not have the kindness of a woman. He will personally kill Happy$ and make it "happy".

This is the mall, just like the battlefield.

Just as she was thinking, a woman who was swimming in the swimming pool suddenly floated up and put her hands on the edge of the swimming pool in front of Bian Xuedao. The woman stretched out one hand at him and said, "My legs are cramped, please pull me up."
