The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 278
What makes Xiao Ma feel a little more at ease is that although many investors showed hesitant expressions after seeing his strength, no one took specific actions, indicating that the atmosphere at the scene was not controlled by Fan Jie. The belt went astray.

However, there are many nights and dreams, and Xiao Ma still intends to complete the contract as soon as possible, but before he can say a few more words to advance the process, two mobile phones rang at the same time.

"Excuse me!" The two investors looked down at their mobile phones, and then immediately left the room to talk on the phone.

At first, Brother Xiao Ma thought it was just a coincidence, but to his surprise, soon all the investors' mobile phones rang one after another, and they all hurriedly left the room to answer the phone. There was no one there, and Brother Ma instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Chairman, OO has acted!" Brother Ma's secretary hurried over, took out a report and put it in front of Brother Ma, Brother Ma glanced at it, it turned out that OO announced that they would The version update will be performed at 2 pm today, and then the OO group function and OO file transfer function will be opened.

"Damn it, why is it so fast!" Brother Xiao Ma was a little shocked. He originally expected that OO would take about three months to complete the version update, but it turned out to be successful in half a month. This speed made Brother Ma He couldn't help being shocked, he knew very well how difficult it was behind this speed.

"OO is indeed the strongest opponent in the world. It only took 15 days to grow from scratch. Their programmer team may have surpassed our QQ team. It's really terrible!" Sighed, but at the same time, a surge of pride burned in his heart.

Because this proves that QQ group and QQ file transfer are extremely important functions, and OO guys did not expect this function at all before, they must have plagiarized themselves temporarily, otherwise they would not have to wait until 15 days, they must immediately It was sent out.

Xiao Ma estimated that during the 15 days, the entire OO team probably didn't even have an hour's rest time. They worked in three shifts and worked desperately on the development. Only then did they complete the version update within 15 days.

At the same time, most importantly, this also confirms that OO is plagiarizing QQ.

So Brother Xiao Ma immediately said to his secretary, "Tell Yu Xiaoyang's team to immediately publicize and create momentum in all forums, and condemn OO for plagiarizing our QQ this time!"

At this time, Brother Xiao Ma has also learned a lot. The public opinion storm in the forum several times before has hurt QQ quite a bit, so this time, Brother Xiao Ma will put the plagiarism hat on OO's head to repay the past. Vengeance with a sword.

Just as Brother Xiao Ma was thinking about how to use this incident, the investors who had just left came back one after another.

It's just that I'm back, but the atmosphere at the scene is obviously different. For example, before Xiao Ma could see the words "successful signing" in the air, but now, there is a clear sense of tension, as if he was back in the negotiation Same as in the early days.

"It's broken, it must be the update of OO, which has shaken these guys again!" Xiao Ma's heart is open, and if these investors can go out to answer the phone at the same time, then there is only one answer, that is, these investors have received his subordinates. phone and tell them about the OO update.

And OO has updated the new group function and file transfer function, which will immediately change the whole situation, and these investors must reconsider their investment plans.

"The OO people must know about my financing this time, and I deliberately rushed to release the version update at this time, just to thwart my financing plan!" Xiao Ma's heart was bright, and he saw through Huang He's conspiracy at a glance .

"Everyone, let me tell you the truth. I have just received a message from OO. I believe that the call from you just now is the same news. Let's talk openly, how about it?" The initiative to negotiate.

"That's right!" Now that Brother Ma made it clear, the investors on the scene stopped putting on airs, and Fan Jie from CITIC Investment said, "Mr. Ma, I remember that you made a very clear promise to us a few days ago. It takes at least three months for OO to complete the version update, but now they only spent 15 days to complete the version update. Then what you promised us during the negotiation can recharge the market share within three months Is it impossible to achieve the goal of returning to more than 65%?"

"Not bad!" The investors at the scene also nodded one after another. The reason why they were willing to invest 8 million yuan to buy 60% of the shares was double the price compared to Softbank Capital a few months ago, because of Brother Xiao Ma. Promise them that in the future, QQ can increase its market share to more than 65%. At the same time, their Lianzhong Game Center will also search for games of the same level as Warcraft 3 around the world, completely opening up the domestic e-sports market, and finally Just like Jiangnan, relying on the sale of game blind boxes to make amazing profits! "

"After all, it is rumored in the industry that Jiangnan Group's blind box sales in a month are almost breaking through 5 million. QQ doesn't need 000 million. Even if it only needs 8 million a month, then their [-] million investment is not enough in a short period of time. It will skyrocket in time!"

They can also hope that Tenda will go public in a few years, and then their 8 million yuan investment will be able to get several times the return.

But now, OO has completed the version update two and a half months earlier than planned, so it is very difficult to hit a 65% market share, so QQ still has the advantage, and Xiao Ma promises to get high-quality Games, but these things are all invisible, future things, only OO version updates are clearly visible.

"15 days is slow, OO has already been surpassed by us!" Xiao Ma replied, "To be honest, I may not be able to guarantee that the market share will exceed 65% within three months, but we have already gained an advantage. At the same time, QQ The leadership of group and QQ file transfers also proves that we are in an advantage in product development concepts.”

"So in half a year, I can assure everyone that our market share will reach more than 65% within half a year!" Although Xiao Ma didn't have self-confidence in his heart, he couldn't be cowardly now, and he had to show his confidence.

"Hehe!" The investors at the scene all showed big smiles. Everyone is old-fashioned. Who would not be confident? They don't believe in these things. They only believe in changes in the market now.

In the past, OO had nothing and could almost give up QQ. Now OO is backed by Jiangnan Group, a big tree in the sky, so the probability of QQ failure is extremely high, and the probability of their 8 million yuan being wasted is also extremely high.

If before the OO update, they thought that the probability of investment success was 50%, but now the expectation of this probability has dropped to 40%, or even 35%, then they need to carefully consider the issue of 8 million yuan.

As a result, the fiery investment meeting came to a stalemate, and the planned signing was perfunctory by the investors with various reasons. The negotiation lasted for about three days.

In these three days, with the launch of the OO group and OO file transfer function, OO's market share has come back again, so the market share of OO is not much, but it has returned from 44% to 46%, but the gap is still there. It has returned to within 10%, which aggravates investors' doubts.

But these investors are also unwilling to let go of the opportunity of QQ. After all, OO is so popular now that the American Fortune magazine has valued the entire Jiangnan Group at 12 billion US dollars. Among them, OO’s valuation has reached 5 billion because of the existence of QQ games. 40 million U.S. dollars, or [-] billion yuan.

If QQ can have 2 million US dollars in the future, then they will earn 8 million US dollars, and if they can have 3 million US dollars, then they will earn several hundred million from him, and even a fool can see that the entire Internet market in the future It will become bigger and bigger, because there are still a small number of Internet users and computer users. This market has at least 20 years of development, and 3 million US dollars is likely to become 30 billion US dollars, so they also want to give it a go.

In such a tangled situation, an opportunity to break the deadlock finally ushered in, and this opportunity still came from Fan Jie of CITIC Investment.

At the beginning of the new day of negotiations, Fan Jie said directly, "Mr. Ma, after careful consideration and research by CITIC Capital, we believe that QQ is still worth investing in, but our confidence is very low."

"So I have two suggestions. One is that 60% of the shares will remain unchanged, but the total investment will drop from RMB 8 million to RMB 5 million."

"The second is to remove the management right clause in the contract and add another one. Once the market share of QQ falls below 40%, the board of directors will no longer guarantee the management right of the Tenda team. As long as the board of directors votes, they have the right to remove You and your team."

"Don't get me wrong, we still don't mean to take over your company, but we all need a guarantee from you, not just give you money like a fool!"

"Not bad!"

"That's it!"

"President Fan's suggestion is quite reasonable!"

Unlike Fan Jie’s previous proposal, which received no response, almost all investors except Softbank Capital agreed to the proposal this time.

This made Xiao Ma's forehead sweat, because it means that CITIC Capital has reached a consensus with other investment institutions, and Tenda must choose one of these two options, or simply end this financing negotiation.

These investment institutions are the largest investment institutions in the country. Once the financing negotiations come to an end without a problem, other domestic investment institutions may not have the courage to invest in projects that these big-name investment institutions have rejected. Investment institutions have come to invest in themselves.

"How should I choose?" Brother Xiao Ma looked calm on the surface, but deep in his heart was ups and downs. It was impossible to refuse investment, so he could only choose one of the two.

8 million turned into 5 million, and sold [-] million less in one go, Xiao Ma was very unwilling.

Although the second option may lose the company's management rights, there is still the 2% market share restriction. As long as you can stabilize your market share above 40%, then these guys are not qualified to take you away. operating rights.

40%, it should be impossible, right?
Assuming that the future really falls to 40%, then I am afraid that I will not have the confidence to beat OO in the future.

"Forget it, believe in yourself, you won't lose!" Brother Xiaoma clenched his fists and finally made a choice.
