Chapter 1466: 30%
After discussing and commenting around a few interesting chapters, Chen Qing had no intention of rushing to talk about serious matters. She hugged her boss's arms and accompanied her to read the book "Journey to the West". Occasionally chatted, and talked about the sequel to the 1986 version of the classic "Journey to the West" TV series in China. Unfortunately, it was a big treasure of CCTV. This time, it was not short of money, so it would definitely not be possible for people to get in.
So until noon.
After sending the women around him to disperse and the two of them had a meal together in the small restaurant, Chen Qing turned to the topic: "Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment's re-financing news was released, and a group of people came over. They had a big appetite. Boss, what should I do if I regret it?"
Simon ate the lamb chop in front of him without raising his head and said, "I have reminded you many times to keep a low profile. Now this is called self-inflicting."
Chen Qing whined and shouted: "I didn't mean it this time. Boss, you attach so much importance to that game. Of course, I have to give the best conditions. Who knows that the market reaction will be so fierce. I have already shrunk now. Recently, I have limited the number of point cards flowing to the market. In addition, the chain Internet cafes we control have also undergone comprehensive upgrades, and you must use your ID card to register to enter. Oh, I really didn't expect it."
Simon remembered the legend in the original time and space again.
At its peak, Chen's richest man earned an average of 10 million yuan a day with just one game. Even many years later, in the mainland, various "Legend" derivative games can bring billions of yuan to operators and copyright holders every year.
After all, it is still that China’s current entertainment activities are too scarce.
Since the 1980s, when the economy began to recover and grow, just to play this, it has led to a boom in a large number of entertainment venues such as dance halls, game halls, video halls, billiard halls, etc. Many people have earned further primitive accumulations through the operation of these entertainment venues.
Now, the new century is about to enter, and the online games that Simon promoted the development of in mainland China in advance have become the most profitable one.
Recalling these, Simon did not forget to ask Chen Qing: "What you just said, how much do anyone want?"
Chen Qing raised three slender fingers and shook them: "30%, this is after I ruled out some requirements that can be turned off."
Simon calmly asked, "Is it worth it?"
Chen Qing understood what her boss meant. Can you get the right benefits if you gave out 30% of the money? She nodded directly: "It's worth it."
Simon said decisively: "Then give it."
Chen Qing looked bitter again: "Boss, I feel sorry for you. According to your original calculations, the batch of seeds we sow now may grow into a 10 billion or even 100 billion US dollars in the future. Now, 30% of them are sent out, which is simply 30 billion US dollars."
Simon shrugged: "The problem is that we all know that if we don't give out these 30%, we may not be left with 10% of ourselves. You must know that there are never two types of people in this world who can live well. One is the one who breaks the rules and succeeds, and the other is easier, which is the one who strives to adapt to the rules. In China, we can only adapt to the rules."
Chen Qing could not refute.
In fact, she was thinking about whether she could launch some Paradise Online, which was responsible for someone in Hangzhou, to block some. However, even if she had any differences with Lin Su, she finally knew that these were all her own things. Now she could launch a shield that could temporarily protect others, which was also good.
After thinking about it, Chen Qing said: "Boss, I'm considering whether I can promote these companies to be listed in the United States as soon as possible. As long as they go public, what actions do domestically want to do will definitely be scruples?"
"You all know there will be some scruples. Will others not know that you are doing this to make them have some scruples?"
Chen Qing heard a little confused sentence from her boss, and then she frowned slightly in distress.
Simon smiled: "Do you know what the most important thing I have done in recent years to expand the Westeros system?"
"What?"
"Suppress your greed and try not to take too much," Simon said. "This is actually why. The Westeros system has the current size, but it has not caused a fierce rebound from traditional wealth forces. On the one hand, I have opened up many emerging industries, and on the other hand, in other aspects of expansion, I try to take only one portion I can get, rather than eating all without leaving any room for it."
Chen Qing nodded to express her understanding.
"In China, I remember telling you that 30% of the shares, for many industries, we only need to get 30% of the benefits, because the Westeros system is only an outsider after all, and we do not have the ability to break and create our own rules, so we can't be too greedy. This time, Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment, even if we give up 30% more, including the 20% of the shares we had previously given up, we can still guarantee about 50% of the shares. This is already a lot." Simon said here, and another joking and weird smile appeared: "This time it is definitely not for financing Chinese state-owned enterprises, right?"
Chen Qing nodded, noticed the smile of her boss, and inexplicably understood it, but she didn't catch it for a while.
Simon continued: "You just said that 30% of Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment's shares may be worth US$30 billion in the future, and I am very confident about this. Then, then the problem will come. US$30 billion is nothing for a legitimate capitalist like me, but for some people, the wealth of more than RMB 240 billion is needed to be considered carefully. How do you say that, it is a crime to bear a treasure. Such a wealth may be hidden from ordinary people, but for some people at the same level, it will definitely not be a secret, and there may be a good show at that time."
Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment is more than just a game.
Although only the game department is making money at present, there is also the search engine business that Chen Qing personally won by Egret China from the previous search engine business, plus portals and emails, and in conjunction with the game, it will develop into a technology giant of 100 billion US dollars in the future, which is no problem at all.
Chen Qing blinked her eyes, then blinked again, and then showed a bad smile, but she quickly shook her head: "Boss, this person who wants shares, I mean... I'm afraid it's not suitable."
Of course, Simon also knew what was wrong and said: "We should do everything we should do well, don't bury any thoughts. Split more 30% of the shares. In Hong Kong, Switzerland and the Cayman Islands, some shell companies are set up in tax-avoiding sites. 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 must know that in my personal opinion, China's new technology industry will not be much worse than that of the United States in the future, and may reach trillions of dollars, 30% of which is already a very huge wealth."
Chen Qing did not raise any objections this time and nodded seriously, but asked: "Boss, what about the issue of listing? I mean, no matter what, being able to list overseas will always be better for ensuring the safety of our shares?"
Simon shook his head: "First of all, if a company can generate enough revenue and profits, it will be better if it is not listed, because listing will definitely involve many regulatory issues. Secondly, regarding asset security, we cannot change the rules in China, but it does not mean that we do not have any countermeasures. I have given the benefits that should be given, and if someone still does too much, I will not be polite. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether it is listed or not. Since we have partners, we must agree to it before we can start an IPO. In short, we take a share that we can get, and then make money with harmony."
After having a deep conversation with her boss, Chen Qing felt that she had a lot of cleverness. Although she still felt uncomfortable because she was petty at heart, she would never make any decisions this time.
Simon looked at Chen Qing's expression and felt relieved.
Otherwise, he has been considering compressing this girl's permissions during this period to avoid her excessive operations in more aspects.
After taking the mushroom soup next to you and taking a few sips, Simon turned to something else: "How is the merger between Lenovo and Excellence?"
Chen Qing drank the soup with her boss in a simultaneous manner. Hearing the words, he put down the spoon and said, "I'm stuck, hehe, I just happened to wait for us to sell Jiangnan Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. Since the boss nodded, there will be no problem next."
Simon nodded and said, "OEM manufacturers will only be more prosperous in recent years. After completing the merger, we will start to cash out slowly until we leave the market completely. At that time, the capital market should also understand that the profits of the PC industry are still in the hands of giants such as Microsoft and Intel, which have core property rights, and OEMs only make one hard money."
Chen Qing listened to this and remembered one thing: "Boss, when it comes to this, why did you disagree with Zhuoyue using the iOS system jointly developed by Egret and Tinkobaier? Even if Zhuoyue pays for it, we will definitely accept it, and it can also increase the market share of iOS system?"
After Tinkobaier took Apple, he cooperated with Igret to launch a brand new iOS system with the support of Apple's operating system patents and many years of research on Linux systems, but only authorized it to Tinkobaier's iMac series. This made many PC manufacturers who were dissatisfied with Microsoft and wanted another choice, and even Microsoft itself, which was facing a great enemy, surprised and disappointed.
Simon saw Chen Qing asking, and said, "This involves other layouts 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 its shareholding ratio remains at around 15%, which has surpassed Paul, second only to Gates. Therefore, when Microsoft already accounts for more than 90% of the PC operating system, the Westeros system does not need to launch an operating system war."
Chen Qing still didn't understand: "Why is it unnecessary? Boss, it's only 15%, and we don't have enough say?"
"Because if the war really starts, maybe it may not be over yet, and another war of technological change will come."
"Another war?"
“Have you used an iPad?”
Chen Qing nodded. She was very smart and had enough knowledge of the electronics industry. She quickly understood: "Boss, are you talking about the handheld terminal field?"
"Yes," Simon said: "We have iOS, and the main purpose is to avoid unfair competition from Gates on core technology companies in Westeros system through the advantages of Windows. Moreover, in order to avoid us rushing to develop iOS, Microsoft must open up to us with certain technology, probably, it's like the relationship between two nuclear countries."
Chen Qing nodded again, but couldn't help but say, "But after all, it's better to take the platform into your own hands."
Simon said: "On the PC platform, iOS has lagged too much behind. If you force a war, the best result will probably be to divide the market equally. However, the result of the war must be that both platforms have tried their best to improve themselves. The result is that when the next revolution in handheld terminal operating systems is coming, Microsoft, which is still full of fighting spirit and has also improved its own system to a very outstanding level, is likely to have the same combat power in the new field. At that time, it will be difficult for us to have too many opportunities."
Chen Qing now understood completely, with a bad smile: "The boss means that we will take the initiative to give up the competition in the PC operating system, so that Microsoft will slack off and die of peace?"
“Bingo!”
"The boss is so awesome."
"Stop, don't want me to become lazy because of your flattery."
"hehe."
Microsoft's retreat in the mobile Internet era is ultimately eight words: born from distress and die from happiness.
Life is too easy and comfortable, so naturally I lose my ambition to be aggressive.
In comparison, Apple was undoubtedly a typical example of being born in distress. The PC era was defeated by Microsoft and 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 IPO preparations for CNOOC, which has entered the second half.
Although the new year has just begun, the official issuance of the euro has already caused signs of many things. For example, the recent anxious development of OPEC and Russia in production cuts, but the result is that the negotiations have not yet broken down and oil prices have continued to fall.
For ordinary people, the lower the oil price, the better it is.
However, from the industrial level, there must be too many people who do not want oil prices to be too low. The two major energy giants' development negotiations are also to avoid excessive production capacity impacting oil prices. At the same time, they each want to sell more crude oil.
It seems contradictory, but it is for the benefit of the end.
Similarly, for a Chinese energy giant seeking to go public, once oil prices continue to decline, the result will undoubtedly hit investors' investment confidence in related industries. Because the plummeting oil prices will inevitably mean a decrease in profits of energy companies. After all, the demand for energy in the corresponding market is constant in the short term, and there is no such thing as small profits but quick turnover. Prices plummet and sales volumes do not change much, and profits will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the prospects for CNOOC's IPO are becoming increasingly sagging.
