Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 628 Must get involved

"Brother Chai, what's the point of [Xinxin.com] making such a big fuss all of a sudden?"

As soon as the call was connected, Ma Liang directly asked Mr. Chai Daguan.

Although Ma also invested in [Kaixin.com], he was only a small shareholder. Moreover, most investment institutions are financial investments and rarely get involved in the specific operations of the invested companies.

When there are not many shares, it is too lazy to even go through the industrial and commercial changes of shareholder status, let alone seek a seat on the board of directors.

Unless it is a start-up company that is particularly valued, it will generally be like Ma Liang.

So [Kaixin.com] suddenly made such a big move, and he really didn't know anything about it. After all, Boss Cheng can just send an email to inform all shareholders about this kind of thing afterwards.

Upon hearing this, Chai Jin happily explained: "Brother Ma, I'm really sorry, it's really a very important matter, and I kept it a secret before.

After all, you are taking food from NetEase, so you should be cautious.

But I'm just taking the initiative in this matter. The two guys who are really in charge are Cheng Binghao and Zhang Sanshi.

We are planning to hold a board meeting in the next two days. Brother, you will know when you come to attend. "

Ma Liang understood everything instantly when he heard it. As he expected, there was a master behind Cheng Binghao.

It turned out that that guy Zhang Sanshi was the one who instigated it. No wonder he was so generous.

It has to be said that this is due to the butterfly effect brought about by myself. In this life, [Kaixin.com] has embarked on a different path.

Although the price paid is high, as long as you win the agency rights for the game "World of Warcraft", you can still be invincible even if you lose on the social track.

What's more, under Ma Liang's leadership, Twitter and [Kaixin.com] are negotiating for further cooperation.

By then, [Farmville], a farming game, will be fully licensed by [Kaixin.com], and subsequent embedded mini-games such as "Plants vs. Zombies" will also be transplanted.

In this case, it is not certain who will win and who will lose in the social battle between [Kaixin.com] and Goose Factory.

If [Kaixin.com] had developed to this point normally, it would be too late for Ma Liang to be happy.

But all this was controlled by Hillhouse Capital Zhang Sanshi behind the scenes, which made him a little worried.

You must know that Boss Zhang is also one of the big investors of the Goose Factory, and he can do anything. Besides, this guy is only interested in profit, and he might as well sell [Kaixin.com] at a moment's notice.

Ma Liang also plans to support [Kaixin.com] as an agent, but he can't let that guy do bad things, so he has to get involved.

So he pretended to be resentful and responded to Mr. Chai: "Brother Chai, what you did in this matter is a bit unfair!"

After all, the two of them have been on good terms with each other for a long time, so no matter what, they should be notified.

"Brother, it's my fault, but there's nothing I can do about it." Chai Jin responded aggrievedly.

Since the establishment of [Tianhao Capital], there has been a successful case of [Kaixin.com]. This time it was really important, so he hid his hand from Ma Liang.

It can only be said that interests are attractive to people, but no matter how deep the friendship is at the critical moment, it is unreliable.

Ma Liang was not angry because of this. This kind of thing has long been seen in shopping malls, and it is easy to understand.

But on the surface, he still had to pretend, and he said angrily: "Since Brother Chai believes in Zhang Sanshi so much, I won't say more, let's take a look!"

"Hey, brother... you have something to say!" Chai Jin apologized quickly, fearing that the little brother would be really angry with him.

But before he could finish speaking, Ma Liang hung up the phone.

This matter cannot be left alone, it must be hammered out. He was not just trying to vent his anger, but wanted Chai Daguan and Cheng Binghao to understand the situation and who had the final say on [Kaixin.com].

So he quickly picked up the phone again and called Jack Dorsey on the other side of the ocean.

……

Beijing, [Kaixin.com] headquarters, CEO office.

Cheng Binghao is ambitiously arranging many matters in the game department and preparing to take over the domestic operation agency of "World of Warcraft".

This time, we took advantage of NetEase’s Ding Sanshi and completely established the reputation of [Kaixin.com].

As long as "World of Warcraft" can be successfully taken over, it won't be long before Kaixin.com can be promoted to a first-tier Internet company in China.

By then, his boss Cheng will also become one of China's business giants.

Therefore, Cheng Binghao is very motivated now. He works until 11 or 12 o'clock every night before going home without feeling tired at all.

Just when Boss Cheng was feeling satisfied, his deputy Yu Chi suddenly ran into the office.

"Mr. Cheng, it's not good!"

Cheng Binghao was startled and asked hurriedly: "Old Yu, what happened?"

"Twitter has suspended negotiations with us, and I heard that it is also in contact with Goose Factory..." As a partner, Yu Chi was extremely nervous at the moment.

He is Cheng Binghao’s only entrepreneurial partner and an executive responsible for products. Seeing that [Kaixin.com] was about to start a big fight, who would have thought that there were so many complications on Twitter? How could he not be anxious?

Cheng Binghao panicked when he heard this: "Okay, why did Twitter change its mind halfway?"

"I don't know either!" Yu Chi was also confused, but he had a vague guess in his mind, "Old Cheng, why don't you call Boss Chai and see if he knows the situation?"

Cheng Binghao didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll call Boss Chai and ask."

As he said that, he picked up his cell phone and dialed Chai Jin.

Chai Daguan is such a good person, he understands everything in an instant. He didn't even make a phone call, he directly arranged a business jet to fly to Shanghai, and planned to visit Ma Liang in person to apologize.

……

[Bai Mansion], in the office on the third floor, Ma Liang was checking emails, and Chai Jinren had already arrived.

"Brother, brother, why would you do this?"

As soon as he entered the door, Chai Daguan said in a dumbfounded voice, "It's not easy for you to get angry, just give me a call.

Accept the punishment and admit it, brother, I won't say anything about it! "

Ma Liang turned off the computer screen and replied disdainfully: "Brother Chai, where did you start talking about this? I don't know anything!"

He was also "replying others with his own way." Who was Chai Jinxian to be unkind?

"Brother, please stop playing with me. Why don't you think it's my fault this time?" Mr. Chai quickly apologized again.

[Kaixin.com] We are at a critical juncture now, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Ma Liang remained unmoved, and responded with a gun and a stick: "Brother Chai, I am just a small shareholder, and I can't get involved in big things. Have you misunderstood something?"

"Brother, my dear brother, if you want to kill me or cut him into pieces, can you give me a happy word? You can't do anything evil at this critical moment!

As long as you say something, I will ask that boy Cheng Binghao to come over tonight and pour you tea in person to apologize. "Chai Jin had a bitter look on his face at this time, feeling extremely regretful in his heart.

He didn't mean to play tricks on Ma Liang, he just thought he didn't like the small business of [Kaixin.com].

Otherwise, Ma Liang didn’t want to invest too much in the previous Pre-A round of investment [Kaixin.com].

But Chai Jin had completely forgotten that this moment was the same as the other moment, and the current situation was completely different from before.

Ma Liang pretended to be a little relieved and continued: "Brother, it's over!

In fact, it's not a big deal, it won't happen. [Kaixin.com] is developing very well now, and everyone is happy.

It's just that Twitter will focus on expanding its domestic business next, and there will be several new core products to be launched, so it must find a reliable partner.

Since Mr. Cheng has his own ideas, we will not hinder his great cause.

It's just a small business. At worst, I'll just find another agency for Twitter, so as not to hurt everyone's harmony! "

"How could that be?" Chai Jin became even more anxious after hearing this, "Brother, haven't [Kaixin.com] and Twitter always cooperated very well before?

Plus, with the love between us two brothers, why would we need to find other partners?

This time it was our fault, please don't take it personally. You set up a charter for what to do next, and [Kaixin.com] will definitely follow it.

If I'm even the slightest bit dissatisfied, I will never agree to it. "

Ma Liang smiled slightly and replied easily: "Don't dare, I'm just a small shareholder. No one even informs me of any major events in the company. How can I be in charge?

Besides, [Kaixin.com] now has the agency for "World of Warcraft", so I'm afraid it won't look down on Twitter's cooperation either.

We are still in business, and everything comes first, there is no need to be emotional..."

"Whoever said that is definitely a misunderstanding!

Brother, don't make trouble, you always speak well. Chai Jin immediately expressed his determination, "Isn't it just some shares? It's easy to handle!"

Originally [Kaixin.com] had reserved a full share for you in this round of financing, and the proportion would never be less than that guy Zhang Sanshi, so don’t worry about that.

Besides, no matter what the interests are, we should give priority to our two brothers. How could I forget you, brother? "

Although [Kaixin.com] has risen to prominence, and it is not impossible to survive without the support of Twitter, no one will have trouble with money, and cooperation between the two will bring greater benefits.

Compared with watching Twitter fall into the arms of Goose Factory, a little face is nothing, at least that’s what Chai Daguan thinks.

Ma Liang pretended to be very surprised and replied: "Is this happening?

That’s really a misunderstanding, haha…”

"Misunderstanding, absolute misunderstanding!" Chai Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his little brother finally smiled, and gradually felt relieved.

Ma Liang's expression suddenly changed, and he replied seriously: "Brother Chai, in order to prevent such an unpleasant thing from happening again, let's talk about it first.

[Kaixin.com] I really didn’t care much before, but after all, when it comes to Twitter’s domestic layout, the situation is different.

If we want to cooperate in depth next time, let’s change the gameplay..."

"Brother, just say it, I'm listening!" Chai Jin's expression became solemn when he saw how serious he was.
