Rebirth starts from e-commerce

Chapter 522 Hunter and Prey

In 2015, calls for the strongest copyright order became louder and louder.

Before the decree was promulgated, the major giants naturally received the news in advance and made arrangements for the music industry in full swing.

On March 3, Ali Music was formally established, which was formed by the merger of the original Xiami Music and Ali Planet (formerly Tiantiandongting).

After the merger of the two, the cumulative market share reached 21.9%, making it No. 1 in the domestic music industry.

At the same time, NetEase Cloud and QQ Music are also accelerating the promotion of music business, and aggressively acquiring music copyrights.

Although Luo Xiu didn't receive any inside information, he started to acquire music copyright three years ago, when the music copyright fell to the price of cabbage.

In the era when 90% of music was pirated, and selling roast duck was not as good as making music, his act of purchasing copyright was once ridiculed and called him a fool.

Obviously he can download pirated music online without spending money, but he has to pay the singer.

Now, everyone suddenly discovered that this "fool" who insisted on buying genuine resources turned out to be a fool, and the copyright assets he held in his hands had multiplied.

Especially Luo Xiu was still very poor at the time, even for the copyright of these cabbage prices, he had to seek financing everywhere.

After hearing his financing purpose, those capitals refused one after another, shaking their heads like a dog.

After all, Huaguo at that time was still called a big copycat country.

At that time, Chong Hing Capital, the only one willing to pay, also required to sign a strict gambling agreement, set a three-year agreement, and required Zhiyin to go public before December 2015, 12.

That is, this year.

This VAM agreement is full of traps. They don't expect Zhiyin to go public 16 years ago, just to make you owe debts.

Even so, Luo Xiu signed without thinking too much.

Now the three-year agreement is getting closer, and with the arrival of the strongest copyright order, the market is becoming more and more optimistic about Zhiyin.

For Zhiyin's listing, it seems that it is not empty talk.

Chong Hing Capital, who may have just wanted to win a small sum of money through gambling, now finds that if Zhiyin is really successful in listing, he will earn a lot of money.

So Yang Chen often went to Luo Xiu's office for three days and two days, and asked him when he would start preparing for the listing.

"Mr. Luo, I suggest you start the B-round and C-round financing as soon as possible. I can also help you find some institutions with rich IPO experience to go public as quickly as possible."

"It's not necessary, I'm not short of money now, why do I need financing?" Luo Xiu asked.

"Continue to acquire copyrights. Mr. Luo, your previous thinking was correct. Copyrights are the core assets. Now that Ali and Penguin have started acquisitions of copyrights, we can't fall behind them. We will hold the most copyrights in our hands." , there are enough stories to hype the listing.”

"Mr. Yang, there is no rush to go public, it can be done sooner or later."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he politely poured him a cup of tea, looking calm and breezy.

"The preparations for the listing cannot be completed in a day or two. We should take advantage of the opportunity to go public first, otherwise we will become more and more passive after Ali Penguin exerts its strength."

"Because I know the strength of those two families, I have to wait first."

"Mr. Luo, don't forget that our betting period is until the end of this year."

Luo Xiu shrugged after hearing this, "I remember that the contract stipulated that the investment money and 10% annual interest will be refunded. We can still get this little money now."

The current Pinru Group is not three years ago. At that time, for this financing, it needed to ask people everywhere, but now it can be obtained at any time.

The other party obviously understood this truth, and his face changed again and again.

Although getting back 10% annual interest is not bad, but compared to Zhiyin's value-added after listing, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Moreover, the annual interest can only be paid for three years. If Zhiyin does not go public, his investment will either be frozen forever, or he can only exit the market with a meager interest.

The original gambling trap has become a pit dug for myself.

"Mr. Luo, what conditions do you have? We can talk about them. Whether it's cash rewards or other things, we can talk about them."

When the prospect of the company is bright and the founder has an absolute controlling stake, sometimes the capital has to bow its head.

Because as long as it is not listed for one day, the capital cannot be realized.

Ali used this to blackmail Softbank and asked to agree to spin off Alipay before agreeing to go public.

Softbank naturally knows how big Alipay's fat is, which is equivalent to recreating Ali.

If it is not forced, how can you easily agree to the split?
But in order for Ali to go public smoothly, we can only endure it.

Except for the special case of Ali, there are also people who directly ask for money.

For example, when Xiaomi went public on July 2018, 7, Mr. Lei was given 9 billion red envelopes without his knowledge.

那可是98亿，2015到2018年，小米的研发开支分别才15亿元、21亿元、32亿元和 57.8亿元。

If the company is not listed, it will be difficult to realize the capital investment in the early stage, and it can only be forced to agree to some seemingly unreasonable demands.

From Yang Chen's point of view, this President Luo also wants to make additional demands.

He has already prepared himself for this, as long as his fundamental interests are not harmed, everything can be discussed.

Luo Xiu shook his head: "I don't have any personal requirements. Everything is for the better development of the company. When the time comes to go public, I will naturally go public. If the time doesn't come, it's useless to rush."

No requirement is the biggest requirement.

Hearing what Luo Xiu said, Yang Chen said anxiously: "Boss Luo, at worst, I will continue to wait and admit the outcome, but how long can your bosom friend wait? When Ali and Penguin make efforts next year, they have capital and users. When you want to go public, you won’t even be able to get on the market.”

Luo Xiu smiled, "I don't need Mr. Yang to worry about this matter."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Yang Chen got up angrily, turned around and strode out of Luo Xiu's office.

Even now, he still thinks that Zhiyin will be listed this year, and now it is just to negotiate a good condition.

After all, no one will have trouble with money.

Luo Xiu didn't get up to see him out, and continued to brew the tea brought by his future father-in-law leisurely.

Guan Shiyu opened the door and walked in, sat beside him, and asked helplessly, "Did you quarrel?"

"No, he wants me to go public, but I don't want to go public just yet."

"He invested [-] million U.S. dollars in real money, and of course he wants to get a return as soon as possible."

"That depends on what purpose he had at the time. If he really helped me, let alone 100 million, even if it was only [-] million, I would definitely let him get enough in return.

If he had the intention of defrauding me from the beginning, and now he falls into the hole he dug himself, and if I don't fall into a well, I will be considered a bodhisattva, and still want me to give him a hand? "

Guan Shiyu walked behind him, pinched his shoulders for him, and said softly: "It's fine if you don't cheat others, who can cheat you?"

"Not necessarily, it's just that Lao Yin is too young for me, so I'm careless."
