Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 118 Exchange 2400 million US dollars for 8 million US dollars, this will not work!
Building A, Jingwei Garden.

On the top floor of the garden, there are two rows of tall ornamental bamboos on the left and right, which are verdant. There is a rest area in the middle with a set of rattan tables and chairs. Above the head is a fully automatic retractable awning, surrounded by some seasonal flowers and green plants.

"Mr. Chen, it is not difficult to see from your company's environmental design that you are a person with style and dreams."

Zhou Zi smiled slightly, and paid a lot of flattery.

"Mr. Zhou made a special trip just to show me my face? To show Feng Shui for future technology?"

Chen Heyu joked, taking advantage of the situation to look at him openly.

30 years old, the golden age of a man, full of knowledge, wealth, and experience, with an elite face, self-disciplined personality, and decent conversation.

Luxurious sapphire blue slim-fit suit, close to the waistline, with a white shirt and blue tie inside, looks meticulous, and belongs to the same kind of person as Liao Feng.

But he is more vigorous and confident than Liao Feng!
"Boss Chen is joking. Actually, on behalf of DES this time, I want to buy the equity of Didi Taxi in your hand."

Zhou Zi laughed and said the purpose directly.

"That's all?"

Chen Heyu smiled, not believing his nonsense at all.

If you want equity, wouldn't it be more convenient to fly directly to Shanghai to contact Lao Zhou?

In the past two years, Shanhai Capital has participated in the angel round and A round financing of dozens of Internet companies, and also sold part of the equity, all led by Zhou Xiaoyu.

If it is only for Didi's share in taxis, there is no need to go to Zhou Xiaoyu to visit him.

Zhou Zi smiled embarrassingly, he didn't expect his tricks to be seen through so quickly by the other party.

So he said calmly: "When Future Technology was established, it was brought into the attention of DES Investment Group. After more than a year of development, Mr. Chen is able to come up with such a great product as Moss, which is really amazing..."

"So, DES intends to invest? Sorry, with all due respect, if you have enough professionalism, you will understand that I am not short of funds. Money is only the cheapest resource for future technology."

Chen Heyu waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Yes, I know very well that Chen is always the largest shareholder of Kangaroo Flash, holding the two trump cards of Shanhai Capital and Shanhai Film and Television, and also holds a part of the shares of Zhifubao.

But according to my observation, the business blueprint planning of future technology should not be limited to China.

DES is an investment institution with a global view, and the energy behind it will exceed Mr. Chen's imagination. In addition to funds, we can also provide rich business resources, channels and contacts to help you speed up the development of overseas markets.

In the beautiful country, DES also has many allies, including investment banking giants such as Gao Sheng and Bells. "

Zhou Zi talked and laughed freely, trying to impress him with things other than money.

"Actually, I have no intention of accepting financing. Zhou is always a smart man. Guess why I still agreed to meet today?"

After Chen Heyu listened to his statement, he was indifferent, and instead asked rhetorically.

Zhou Zi frowned, and his brain began to think crazily.

The other party has no shortage of funds, resources, and contacts, all of which are not needed, so why did he agree to meet?

"Mr. Chen, is it for me?"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Zi had a flash of inspiration, thinking of a possibility, and then boldly asked.

"What do you think of future technology? In the field of artificial intelligence, is it considered a leader?"

Chen Heyu picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and continued to ask.

"I have worked in Gaosheng for two years and participated in the investment of some artificial intelligence projects. Frankly speaking, the future technology is in the first echelon in terms of research and development.

At least, in the beautiful country, such powerful products have not yet appeared. "

Zhou Zi thought about it, and told the truth.

"Are you interested in joining future technology? Annual salary, options, positions, I can give you all of these."

Chen Heyu put down his coffee cup, speaking softly.

"Thank you Mr. Chen for your appreciation, but I'm here today to talk about investment."

Zhou Zi smiled wryly.

I'm here to give money, not to sell myself!

"Me too, but I'm not interested in DES's banknotes. I want to invest in you. Think about it. I'll save the position of Chief Financial Officer of Future Technology for you first."

Chen Heyu stood up, walked on the side of the roof, and looked at the tall buildings in the distance.

He pointed out: "Life at seventy is rare since ancient times, ten years young and ten years old, and the remaining 50 years are divided into day and night, and only 25 years are left. Instead of wasting time, it is better to fight hard."

"Mr. Zhou, don't you want to see the higher scenery?"

"Mr. Chen, can I visit your company?"

Job-hopping was not a big deal for him, but making a wrong choice was. Zhou Zi was extra cautious, and after listening to Chen Heyu's lobbying, he put forward his own request.

He has to obtain more data and information after observation before he can answer Chen Heyu's question.

"Please feel free, Mr. Zhang, you can accompany Mr. Zhou for a walk around."

Chen Heyu gave instructions to Zhang Nan who was on the side.

"I'm in trouble, Mr. Zhang."

Zhou Zi stood up, followed behind Zhang Nan, and said politely with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, you're welcome. Which department would you like to visit first?"

Zhang Nan asked.

The whole company is divided into two research institutes, and there are more than a dozen departments in total, so we can't show them all to each other.

"Can I go to the research institute? If it's convenient."

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Zhou Zi replied.

……

Looking at the two people who left, Chen Heyu sat back in his seat and tasted the coffee Mr. Lei gave him. In October in Yancheng, the autumn is high and crisp, which is just right for drinking tea and looking into the distance.

He took out his mobile phone, checked the hot news, and passed the boring time.

""Manslaughter 2" won 6800 million on its first day of release, continuing the box office myth of Shan Hai!"

Seeing this, Chen Heyu smiled knowingly. The Huaguo film circle in 2013 was hard to describe, and there were not many who could hit it.

New young director Xiao Yang VS Zhou Xingxing, the king of comedy!
Whether "Manslaughter 2" can overtake "Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil" at the box office has become the focus of discussion in the circle for a while.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is released in Spring Festival!
"Manslaughter 2" is released on National Day!
Judging from the box office performance on the first day, "Manslaughter 2" is still slightly inferior and slightly insufficient.

But on the second day of its release, all those who bad-mouthed Xiao Yang were dumb. On October 10st, the box office was 1 million!
The market totaled 1.9 million that day, and "Manslaughter 2" siphoned 70% of the box office!
Exceeding the peak box office of "Journey to the West" by 2000 million!
It is also the highest box office record in a single day of the year!

The combination of Xiao Yang + Liu Dehua, the old star king paired with the new first-line actor, the excellent script, the excellent production team, and the word-of-mouth accumulated in the previous film all exploded on this day.

Achieved the most dazzling box office results in the history of Chinese films!

On October 10nd, the third day of release, the box office was 2 million!
October 10rd, the fourth day of release, with a box office of 3 million!
On October 10th, the fifth day of release, the box office was 4 million!
On October 10th, the sixth day of release, the box office was 5 million!
On October 10th, the seventh day of release, the box office was 6 million!
On October 10th, the eighth day of release, the box office was 7 million!
In just eight days, the cumulative total box office of "Manslaughter 2" was 7.4 million, and the final predicted box office given by Miaoyan Professional Edition was 15.8 billion!
"Di Renjie: Dragon King", which was released at the same time, shivered and lingered under the astonishing box office results of "Manslaughter 2".

The number of film schedules has been greatly reduced, the attendance rate has dropped sharply, and there are very few people discussing the film.

At the same time, only 1.6 million was barely earned!
Including the previous cumulative box office, it was worth less than 3 million!

During the publicity and release stage, the producer promoted this blockbuster 3D stunt movie with a total investment of 1.5 million!
Chen Heyu sneered, I hope they'd better be bragging, otherwise the box office results of less than 4 million, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the cost.

The second hot search.

"Future Technology will start the second round of sales of Moss smart speakers on October 10th. It is reported that the inventory is as high as 10 units!"

At the other end of the factory, after expanding the production line, increasing manpower, and optimizing efficiency, the daily production capacity finally exceeded the 4-unit mark.

Ten days later, Chen Yong urgently allocated 30 units from the warehouse to support the second wave of sales.

For each Moss smart speaker, the manufacturing cost + packaging + shipping + marketing fee + tax is 60 yuan, and the final actual cost is close to 80 yuan. Chen Heyu set the price of 99 yuan, which is almost close to the cost.

He put the burden of profit on the "role" usage fee. From the first round of sales data, 67% of users are willing to open role simulation, although most of them choose the 12 yuan monthly card package.

The annual card activation rate of 99 yuan is less than 10%!

But fortunately, the business model has all worked out, and the next step is to expand production and continue to increase market share.

The co-branded mobile phone of Mi 2S and Moss is also in the process of intensive design and production, preparing to give users a surprise at the end of the year.

The third trending search is still related to movies.

"Korea director Han Dong-ok spent 300 million yuan to buy the right to adapt the film "When a Man is in Love", which is expected to be released next spring."

This is a rare case where a foreign director buys a domestically produced script, which has inspired Chinese filmmakers.

Not long ago, when Han Dongyu was shooting in Koryo, he accidentally learned that a love movie in Huaguo had the same plot as the one he was shooting. His first reaction was that the script had been leaked.

However, after asking friends in Huaguo, I realized that the other party had completed the film filing in 2012, which was obviously earlier.

That's screenwriter plagiarism!

TNND, isn't this cheating!
He was so angry that he fired the screenwriter immediately in front of everyone in the crew, but the problem had to be solved.

If you bite the bullet and release it, you will definitely be angered by the audience. If you choose not to release it, all the investment in the early stage will be in vain.

In desperation, I had to obediently pay 300 million and hand it over to Shanhai Film and Television. The Korean version of "When a Man is in Love" has also changed from the original version to a remake!
Chen Heyu grinned, telling you, little stick, that you are shameless every day and dare to claim everything as your own.

I started to search for new blockbuster movies in my mind, planning to get there first!
……

after an hour.

Zhang Nan took Zhou Zi back to the rooftop again.

"Mr. Zhou, how do you think about it? Is there anything new to gain after the visit?"

Chen Heyu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, you are a unique Chinese entrepreneur. Before this, I haven't seen a company like Future Technology that is willing to spend money on research and development, knows how to recruit talents, and makes salaries comparable to international ones. Competent company."

There was curiosity in Zhou Zi's eyes, wanting to see through Chen Heyu's heart and figure out his true thoughts.

Could it be that the other party really wants to build a great business, not a profitable company.

"Join Future Technology, and together we will take this company to new heights."

Chen Heyu said sincerely.

"Please give me a month. I need to finish the DES work. Before I leave, I have to give my boss an explanation."

Zhou Zi nodded, as a positive response to his invitation.

"No problem, welcome to join."

Chen Heyu shook hands with him, and then asked Zhang Nan to call Wu Chen, Wei Gang, the two R&D directors, and the directors of various departments, and planned to have a meal together at noon to get acquainted with each other in advance.

Zhou Zi studied economics at Wudu University. After graduation, he found a job as an investment banker in Gaosheng. Two years later, he entered Harvard Business School for further study and interned at Facebook.

In 2010, he was invited by a friend to join DES as a partner in Dahua District. He has invested in companies including Rice, Jingdong, Didi Taxi, etc.

In the coming 2015, he will join rice mobile phone, from chief financial officer to executive director, and make great contributions to the listing of rice group.

Rebs readily gave him 1 million shares. After conversion, his annual salary was as high as [-] million US dollars, making him a new generation of working emperor.

But these must be, join the previous gambling agreement!
Zhou Zi's successful operation and listing of rice also showed his extraordinary ability and strong network.

In 2021, he joined Douyin Group as the CEO of Douyin International Edition, responsible for overseas market business.

He is a real high-level management talent. Compared with Zhang Nan, his resume is more suitable for development in the international market. He not only has rich financing experience, but also has global thinking. shine.

From his ability to make quick decisions and join future technology, it is not difficult to see that the other party is a person who likes challenges.

DES is destined to not be able to keep this kind of person, and maybe future technology will not be able to keep him in the future, but Chen Heyu doesn't care.

Maxima is common, but Bole is not. There are so many management geniuses in the later generations, and they will change after they run away, for fear that the other party will not be willing to leave.

Zhang Nan chose a star-rated restaurant and booked a banquet. While rewarding the management, it was also an early reception for Zhou Zi.

"Mr. Chen, are you still selling Didi's 3% equity? I really came here with a mission."

Zhou Zi said with a smile during the banquet.

"What price can DES offer?"

Chen Heyu asked.

In the first half of the year, he told Zhou Xiaoyu that he quickly dumped Didi's equity, but he didn't meet the right opportunity and buyer.

While accepting Zhou Zi this time, he also settled a troublesome matter.

He didn't want to participate in the crazy taxi subsidy battle at all, and let the two horses play by themselves, and then consider whether to continue to enter after the end.

"Currently DES's internal valuation of Didi is expected to be 8 million US dollars, so the 3% equity can be given up to 2400 US dollars."

Zhou Zi explained.

What is the highest market capitalization of Didi?

After thinking back, Chen Heyu only remembered that it was 800 billion US dollars, and his 3% equity, even after more than a dozen rounds of dilution, would still have at least 1% left.

That is, $2400 million for $8 million!

Properly lose money business ah.

"It seems that I only want to go one way to the dark, and it is not wise to sell shares now."

Chen Heyu considered again and again, but still rejected Zhou Zi, intending to continue to pursue the online car-hailing track.

After overturning the previous strategy, he called Zhou Xiaoyu and told him to readjust Didi's investment grade back to S grade and focus on it.
