Hollywood Hunter

Discussing and commenting on a few interesting chapters, Chen Qing didn't have any intention of rushing to talk about the business, so she huddled in her boss's arms and read the "Journey to the West" together. Occasionally chatting, talking about the production of a sequel to the 1986 version of the classic "Journey to the West" TV series is already being discussed in China, but unfortunately it is a big baby of CCTV, and this time there is no shortage of money, so I will definitely not allow anyone to step in.

And so until noon.

After sending the women around to disperse, the two dined in the small restaurant together, before Chen Qing turned to the topic: "Just after the news of Jiangnan Mutual Entertainment's refinancing was released, a group of people came to find them. They have a big appetite. Boss, I also regret it." what to do?"

Simon ate the lamb chops in front of him without raising his head, and said, "I've reminded you many times to keep a low profile. Now it's your own fault."

Chen Qing hummed, and called Qu: "I really didn't do it on purpose this time. Boss, you value that game so much. Of course, I will give you the best conditions. Who knows, the market reaction will be so intense. I'm already in It has shrunk, and recently restricted the number of point cards that flow to the market. In addition, several chain Internet cafes under our control have also undergone a comprehensive upgrade. The ones that must swipe their ID card to register to enter, alas, I didn’t expect it.”

Simon thought of "Legend" in the original time and space again.

At his peak, Chen’s richest man earned an average of 10 million yuan a day just by relying on one game. Even after many years, only in mainland China, various derivative games of “Legend” can bring dozens of dollars to operators and copyright owners every year. Billion RMB income.

In the final analysis, there is still too little entertainment in China today.

Since the 1980s when the economy began to recover and grow, just for playing this item, it has driven a large number of entertainment venues such as dance halls, game halls, video halls, and billiard halls. Many people have earned a lot of money by operating these entertainment venues Later, further primitive accumulation.

Now, about to enter the new century, the online games that Simon promoted in mainland China in advance have become the most profitable one.

Recalling these, Simon did not forget to ask Chen Qing: "You just said, how much does anyone want?"

Chen Qing raised three slender fingers and shook them: "Thirty percent, this is after I ruled out some requests that can be rejected."

Simon remained calm and asked, "Is it worth it?"

Chen Qing understands what her boss means, and if the 30% is given away, can it be exchanged for the benefits it deserves. She nodded directly: "It's worth it."

Simon said decisively: "Then give it."

Chen Qing made a bitter face again: "Boss, I feel sorry for you. According to your calculations at the beginning, the batch of seeds we planted now may grow into billionaires of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars in the future. Now we give away 30% of them. That's $30 billion."

Simon shrugged: "The problem is that we all know that if we don't give away the 30%, maybe we won't have 10% left. You know, there are only two kinds of people in this world who can live well. One is to break the rules. The other kind, which is easier, is the person who tries to adapt to the rules. In China, we can only adapt to the rules.”

Chen Qing could not refute.

In fact, she was still thinking about whether she could push out Paradise Online, which is in charge of someone in Hangzhou, to block some of it. However, even if she had a disagreement with Lin Su, she knew that these were all her own things. It's not bad to protect others for the time being.

After thinking for a while, Chen Qing said: "Boss, I'm thinking about whether it is possible to promote these companies to go public in the United States as soon as possible. As long as they go public, there will definitely be scruples about what to do in China."

"You all know that you will have scruples. Don't others know that you are doing this to make them scruples?"

Chen Qing listened to some convoluted words from her boss, rationalized them, and frowned slightly in distress.

Simon smiled: "Do you know what is the most important thing I have done in recent years in response to the expansion of the Westeros system?"

"what?"

"Restrain your greed, try not to take too much," Simon said: "This is actually why, the Westeros system has the current volume, but it has not caused a fierce rebound from traditional wealth forces. On the one hand, I opened up On the other hand, in the expansion of other aspects, I try to only take what I can afford, instead of eating everything without leaving any room.”

Chen Qing nodded to express her understanding.

"In China, I remember also telling you, 30%, for many industries, we only need to get 30% of the benefits, because the Westeros system is only an outsider after all, and it has no ability to break and create its own According to the rules, we can’t be greedy too much. Even if we give up another 30% of Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment this time, counting the 20% we gave up before, we can still guarantee about 50% of the shares, which is already a lot.” Simon Speaking of this, he showed a somewhat playful and weird smile: "This time, it must not be financing for a Chinese state-owned enterprise, right?"

Chen Qing nodded, noticing her boss's smile, inexplicably comprehended, but didn't catch it for a while.

Simon continued: "You just said that 30% of Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment's shares may be worth 30 billion U.S. dollars in the future. I am also very confident about this. Then, when the time comes, the problem will come. 30 billion U.S. dollars is justified for me. For some capitalists, it is nothing, but for some people, the wealth of more than 240 billion yuan after conversion needs to be carefully considered. It won’t be a secret for ordinary people, but for some people at the same level, there may be a good show at that time.”

Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment

Not just games.

Although currently only the game department is making money, there is also the search engine business that Chen Qing personally won from the previous Eaglet China company, plus the portal website and e-mail, etc., with the game, it will develop into a billionaire in the future. Dollar-level technology giants are not a problem at all.

Chen Qing blinked her eyes, then blinked again, followed by a wicked smile, but quickly shook her head again: "Boss, this, the person who wants the shares, I mean... I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Of course, Simon also knew why it was inappropriate, and said: "We should do everything well, don't worry about it, 30% of the shares, split more, and set up some tax havens in Hong Kong, Switzerland, and the Cayman Islands. Shell companies, as for how to deal with it in the future, it has nothing to do with us. We only need to ensure that we can get 30%. You have to know that in my personal opinion, the scale of China's new technology industry will not be larger than that of the United States in the future. How much difference, it may reach the level of trillions of dollars, 30% of which is already a very large wealth."

Chen Qing didn't raise any objections this time, she nodded seriously, but she still asked: "Boss, what about the listing issue, I mean, no matter what, being able to be listed overseas will always be more important for ensuring the safety of our shares." a little better?"

Simon shook his head: "First of all, if a company can generate enough revenue and profits, it is better not to go public, because going public will definitely involve many regulatory issues. Secondly, we cannot change the issue of asset security in China. rules, but it does not mean that we do not have any countermeasures. I have given the benefits that should be given, and if someone does too much, I will not be polite. Therefore, it does not matter whether it is listed or not. Now that we have a partner , of course everyone needs to agree to start the IPO. All in all, we take what we can get, and then make money in peace."

Having had such an in-depth chat with her boss, Chen Qing felt that she had become more transparent. Although, she still felt uncomfortable in her narrow-minded nature, but this time she would definitely not make any claims.

Simon looked at Chen Qing's expression and felt relieved.

Otherwise, he has been considering reducing this girl's authority during this time, so as to prevent her from overdoing it in more aspects.

After taking a few sips of the mushroom soup next to him, Simon turned to other things: "How about the merger between Lenovo and Excellence?"

Chen Qing drank soup with her boss in sync, put down the spoon when she heard this, and said, "I got the card owner, huh, just waiting for us to sell the shares of Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment. Since the boss nods, then there will be no problem. "

\u0026nbs manufacturers have only been more prosperous in recent years. After the merger is completed, we will start to cash out slowly until we leave the market completely. At that time, the capital market should also understand that after all, the bulk of the PC industry's profits will still be in the hands of giants such as Microsoft and Intel, which own the core property rights, and OEMs will only earn a hard-earned money. "

Listening to this, Chen Qing thought of one thing: "Boss, speaking of this, why didn't you agree to use the ios system jointly developed by Igret and Tinkber in the first place? It is also acceptable, and it can also increase the market share of the ios system?"

After Tinkber ate Apple, he cooperated with Eaglet, and with the support of Apple's operating system patents and years of linux system research, they jointly launched a new ios system, but only authorized Tinkbel's imac series above. This has surprised and disappointed many PC manufacturers who are dissatisfied with Microsoft and want to have another choice, and even Microsoft itself, which is facing an enemy.

Seeing Chen Qing asking, Simon said: "This involves some other layout of the Westeros system in the field of technology. In addition, of course there is another point, because the Westeros system is also a major shareholder of Microsoft, and the current shareholding ratio is still maintained at About 15%, surpassing Paul, second only to Gates, therefore, with Microsoft already occupying more than 90% of the PC operating system, there is no need for the Westeros system to launch an operating system war."

Chen Qing still didn't quite understand: "Why is it unnecessary, boss, it's only 15%, and we don't have enough right to speak?"

"Because if the war is really launched, it may not be over before another war of technological change is coming."

"Another war?"

"Have you ever used an iPad?"

Chen Qing nodded, she was very smart, and she had enough understanding of the electronics industry, so she quickly understood: "Boss, you mean the field of handheld terminals?"

"Yeah," Simon said: "We have ios, the main purpose is to prevent Gates from launching unfair competition against the core technology companies of the Westeros system through the advantages of windows, and, in order to prevent us from developing ios desperately, Microsoft must A certain technological openness to us, presumably, it's like the relationship between two nuclear-armed countries."

Chen Qing nodded again, but couldn't help but said: "But after all, it's better to hold the platform in your own hands."

Simon said: "On the pc platform, ios has fallen behind too much. Forcibly launching a war, the best result is probably an equal share of the market. However, the result of the war must be that both platforms use 12% of their strength to improve themselves , the result is that when the next handheld terminal operating system revolution comes, Microsoft, which is still high-spirited and has improved its own system to a considerable level, is likely to have the same combat effectiveness in new fields. At that time, it will be difficult for us to have Too many opportunities."

Chen Qing completely understood now, with a wicked smile: "What does the boss mean, we voluntarily give up the competition of the PC operating system, so that Microsoft can slack off and die in peace?"

"bing

o! "

"Boss is amazing."

"Stop it, don't make me feel slack because of your flattery."

"hehe."

Microsoft's defeat in the mobile Internet era, in the final analysis, is eight words: born in adversity, died in peace.

Life is too easy and comfortable, and naturally loses the ambition to make progress.

In comparison, the former Apple is undoubtedly a typical example of being born in distress. The PC era was defeated by Microsoft, and it had to seek new breakthroughs in the cracks that were barely maintained.

Inside the restaurant.

The conversation between the two continued, and the topic turned to CNOOC, whose IPO preparations have entered the second half.

Although the new year has only just begun, the official issuance of the euro has given rise to many things. For example, the recent anxious production cut negotiations between OPEC and Russia have not yet broken down, and oil prices have continued to fall.

For ordinary people, the lower the oil price, the better.

However, from an industrial perspective, there must be too many people who do not want oil prices to be too low. The production reduction negotiations between the two major energy giants are also to avoid the impact of excessive production capacity on oil prices. At the same time, each wants to sell more crude oil.

Seemingly contradictory, after all, it is for profit.

Similarly, for a Chinese energy giant seeking to go public, once oil prices continue to fall, the result will undoubtedly dampen investors' confidence in investing in related industries. Because the sharp drop in oil prices will inevitably mean a reduction in the profits of energy companies. After all, the demand for energy in the corresponding market is constant in the short term.

Therefore, the prospect of CNOOC's IPO is getting more and more uncertain.

Since the Chinese side did not seek cooperation with the Westeros system again like China Telecom's overseas IPO, Simon and Chen Qing only discussed this time, and still maintained a spectatorial attitude.
