454 The Dilemma of Rice Technology (2 in 1)
After sharing the amazing box office of "Fighter War", Huang Yifei received a total of about 700 million net income by sharing the money with publishers, cinema advertisers, etc. For many ordinary people, the income of this number is simply an astronomical figure.
However, for Huang Yifei now, the more than 100 million US dollars of money gave him a headache. Because Rice Technology has transformed from its factory model to a R&D model like Huawei, but Rice Technology has not had such a foundation, and has no technological strength of Huawei.
To put it simply, it means that you have taken a big step and started to get the ball!
The entire Huaxin Semiconductor and Future Laboratory can no longer be described as bottomless pits, it is simply a black hole! As a high-tech industry, hundreds of millions of investments have made a splash, and it is a freshly-official company like Dami Technology, which does not even have the most basic underlying patents. If Huang Yifei doesn’t hear the sound of this money, it’s almost gone!
So on the first day of coming to Yanjing, Lei Jun found Huang Yifei and said to him: "Yifei, Huaxin Semiconductor and Future Laboratory not only consumed all the investment, but even invested all the profits of Mi Technology. Now there is almost no working capital in the account of Mi Technology, and even the advance payment of raw materials is problematic."
Hearing Lei Jun's words, Huang Yifei frowned. If the funds break, it will have a fatal impact on a newly-started technology company. Once the payment for raw materials is not paid and the technology media knows, then the financing of Dami Technology will become increasingly difficult, and the supply chain will also stop.
To put it more exaggeratedly, it is very likely that Rice Technology has entered an abyss because of its great leap forward!
However, Huang Yifei has already started the layout of Huaxin Semiconductor, and the Future Laboratory has taken shape with subsequent additional investments. If you announce the abandonment now, it will not only have a huge impact on the reputation of rice technology, but even the previous huge investment has been wasted. You should know that the total investment of the entire Huaxin Semiconductor and Future Laboratory has exceeded 400 million US dollars!
If it were RMB, it would be an investment of nearly 3 billion, and this was not a valuation, but a real cash investment! It can be said that Huang Yifei's full possessions on the books, and even Lei Jun's angel investment, had already paid a huge price.
And there is no way to make additional investment now, because the offline expansion of Rice Home has used the next round of Rice Technology financing. Because China's real estate has once again soared under the economic revitalization of 4 trillion national policies, the cost of offline physical stores has also increased exponentially, and it is really impossible to withdraw money to invest in R&D.
Looking at Lei Jun with a sad face, Huang Yifei didn't know what to say. Half a year ago, when the two of them first discussed the future development direction, they were so radiant, because their goal was to become the second flower, a real high-tech company based on R&D.
Perhaps it is because of the rapid development of rice technology that both of them are too optimistic. In particular, Huang Yifei believes that he knows the future development direction of mobile phones, and thinks that Huawei's Kirin chips catch up with foreign Qualcomm, or even surpassing MediaTek, which has only been a few years, and it doesn't seem very difficult.
But Huang Yifei forgot that Hua Wei seemed to have changed from a miscellaneous phone that charges phone bills and gives away mobile phones to China's number one mobile phone company. Although it only took a few years, its foundation could not be achieved in a few years. It has deep capital!
Because Huawei has accumulated more than 20 years of network communication, HiSilicon, which developed the Kirin chip, has been designed and developed since 1991. And even so, when it started to start mobile phone chips, it relied on a large amount of blood transfusions from its parent company!
Huang Yifei does not have the technology accumulation of this kind, and as the parent company, Dami Technology itself needs financing and expansion. How can it be that money to support Huaxin Semiconductor and Future Laboratory? It is already the limit of Dami Technology Company.
It is difficult to ride a tiger, which is the adjective of Huang Yifei's current state. He never thought that his decision to look at the future would develop into this way. It seems that this world is far from what he thought. His rebirth and excellent physical fitness can play boxing, and even develop fighting events and promotion companies.
But when he really faced the business world, the level of the otaku in his previous life was not enough. However, Huang Yifei still had an advantage, that is, he knew that he would always be the home court of technology companies in the future, and brands that were very popular simply by relying on cost-effectiveness will eventually be eliminated.
Even Xiaomi, which later generations, suffered a Waterloo in 2016, and Huawei has its most core thing, so she can take over Qualcomm and take over the domestic heroes!
Science and technology are always the primary productive force, and Huang Yifei will never forget this famous saying!
"Mr. Lei, we have now reached the critical thing. In the future, we can be called great like Apple. If you take a step back, you will be lost in various cost-effective companies and will never reach the peak! I currently have 100 million US dollars in cash in my account, and I can invest all of it, and I can hold on as long as I can! Also, I can release part of my equity to obtain greater financing!"
Huang Yifei controls 51% of the equity of Rice Technology. After these rounds of financing, he only occupied 45% of the equity (which includes 10% of the original shares given to Zhang Fan before). Lei Jun also reduced his shareholding from 45% to 35% due to the influx of angel investment!
Although Huang Yifei does not have an absolute controlling stake, he is still the largest shareholder of Rice Technology. Moreover, Huang Yifei also knows that the valuation of US$4 billion is definitely not the limit of Rice Company. Even if it is ten times, it will be easy to increase. So he is not willing to dilute his original shares if he is absolutely necessary.
Now that it has reached this point, Huang Yifei has no choice but to release the original shares to choose to continue financing, or to consider listing.
But now Dami Technology is in a relatively critical moment, and going public is not the best choice and opportunity. More importantly, Huang Yifei has not yet begun to prepare for listing, and lack of money is imminent, so he must have to consider financing!
After hearing Huang Yifei's words, Lei Jun nodded and said with a serious expression: "I can still take out about 50 million US dollars. This part is not angel investment, but my private investment."
"No need, continue to raise funds!" Huang Yifei decisively rejected Lei Jun's idea of continuing to invest. Because he knew that Lei Jun now was far from reaching the wealth of later generations. This 50 million may be his full burden! To put it bluntly, it is the coffin book!
Although Lei Jun is a godfather-level figure in China IT, seriously, before he founded Xiaomi Technology, he was not as good as his younger generations Ma Huateng and Ding Lei because he did not create his own top Internet brand.
Kingsoft can barely count as one, but it declined too quickly and its influence is far inferior to NetEase, let alone compared to the giant Penguin. As a historical prophet, Huang Yifei knew that according to the historical process, Rice Technology will definitely become one of the top technology companies, and its market value will also squeeze into first-tier clubs.
But now history has been changed by itself, and Rice Technology has reached a point where it is so bullshit because of its big steps. To be honest, Huang Yifei is not sure and confident about future development. He can also make money by boxing, Kunlun Fighting and Longteng Promotion, and even Whale Live, which is also burning money now.
Taking a step back, Huang Yifei has two buildings in Yanjing and Donghai. No matter how the rice technology collapses, Huang Yifei will only get hurt at most. The most fundamental core industry will not have much impact. At most, he will withdraw from the technology circle and work hard to box.
But Lei Jun is different. This is his full responsibility to suppress his family, and even block his last passion and dream of starting a business. If Rice Technology collapses, he will really collapse. Kingsoft is dead and his identity as an angel investor will be affected by Rice Technology. With his age in his forties, how much time can he have to make a comeback?
Lei Jun heard Huang Yifei rejecting him, and with his IQ, he naturally understood the reason why Huang Yifei refused. At this time, Lei Jun showed a faint smile on his face and said, "Yifei, Rice Technology is everything for me, my future, my dream! I am 44 years old this year, and this may be my last business and my most successful one. If Rice Technology fails, I will also have nothing, because I know that I cannot have a next time."
Lei Jun had already said this. Huang Yifei knew there was no need to say anything else, so he stood up and said, "Mr. Lei, Rice Technology is not so easy to collapse, and I will not compromise on my pursuit of technology companies. Let's prepare for the listing process, we will make a last blow!"
Listing is always a matter of pros and cons. If you don’t go public, Huang Yifei can take advantage of his historical prophetic nature, at least have a basic control in the general direction, and can run the company "dictatorially" according to his own ideas. However, once listed, he must be responsible to shareholders and also have annual financial statements.
Investment in Huaxin Semiconductor and Future Labs without reservation is very difficult in listed companies. After all, this will not only make the stock price fall sharply, but may even be unable to pass the proposals.
But now Huang Yifei has no other choice. Only by going public can he obtain huge funds, allowing Huaxin Laboratory and Future Laboratory to be completely developed!
"Well, I'll prepare." Lei Jun nodded. Neither side might be the last path, and it would be a way to completely change the current situation. Otherwise, Huang Yifei and Lei Jun would not be able to block this hole.
In addition to the rice technology incident, Huang Yifei also announced an important thing on the last day of 2012, that is, Kunlun Klf will acquire bellator (Warriors Fighting Championship) and m1 Fighting Events, completely becoming a brand new Kunlun Klf. It will directly launch unlimited fighting events in all categories in 2013!
After this news was released, the eyes of the whole world were attracted by China. Many people did not expect that this Kunlun Klf, which had only been established for a year, actually annexed the world's second and third fighting events. Even so, Kunlun Klf still has a very big gap with UFC, but at least from the beginning, the position where the rear lights of the car could not be seen has become the back of UFC. The next thing is to completely surpass UFC and become the world's number one unlimited fighting event!
The Kunlun Martial Arts Competition has also been developing for more than a year and has completely entered the formality. Almost all well-known traditional martial arts sects in China have almost joined the Kunlun Martial Arts Fighting. At the same time, in order to stimulate the competitive spirit of these traditional martial arts sects, Huang Yifei's title of champion is not a world champion, a world king, etc., so he directly called the leader of the martial arts league!
At the same time, the Kunlun Wulin Fighting Event also brought a surprise to Huang Yifei, that is, his ratings in China even surpassed Kunlun Fighting and became the highest-rated fighting event in Kunlun Fighting Company!
The super high ratings naturally drive the benefits of advertising fees, naming fees, etc. At the same time, it also makes the prize money of Kunlun Wulin competitions rise, attracting too many traditional martial arts disciples to participate, and entering a virtuous cycle.
This is something that Huang Yifei had never thought of before. Originally, Kunlun Wulin was just a charity project that burned money, and planned to pay money to support Chinese traditional martial arts to enter the actual combat stage. Unexpectedly, the traditional martial arts sign in the hearts of Chinese people far surpasses free fighting, unlimited fighting, etc.
Perhaps many people don’t pay much attention to fighting, but most people have read or understood martial arts novels. Huang Yifei still remembers a saying that martial arts novels are fairy tales for adults.
When the once illusory martial arts people appeared on the TV screen, many people couldn't help but watch it with great curiosity. Not only men, but the whole family sat in front of the TV, pointing and pointing at the curiosity and said, it turned out that Shaolin Kung Fu is like this, Wudang martial arts is like this, it turned out that Nanquan is like this, and it turns out that the north leg is like this.
The amazing development of Kunlun martial arts has allowed Huang Yifei to see the vitality of ancient traditional martial arts in modern times. Moreover, a group of successors of traditional martial arts have begun to integrate their traditional martial arts into modern fighting after experiencing modern fighting and training. They are no longer the original martial arts routines and flirting skills.
Since we have competitiveness, we cannot still "fight in the country" like this. Huang Yifei officially announced that the Kunlun Martial Arts has entered the world fighting catalog and began to compete with foreign fighting techniques! However, in order to protect this little seedling that has finally developed and the self-esteem of domestic warriors, Huang Yifei only announced that traditional martial arts disciples in other countries can also join Kunlun Martial Arts fighting, such as free fighting, unlimited fighting and other modern fighting, and cannot participate.
The ones that are mainly invited here are naturally Japanese karate and Korean taekwondo. Karate is easy to say. Huang Yifei has almost defeated Japanese martial arts and has won the title of their peak 100-player team player. Therefore, after Huang Yifei announced that the Kunlun Martial Arts World allows Japan to join, many karate sects chose to join and fight.
But South Korean Taekwondo is a bit difficult to deal with. After all, Huang Yifei is now a national enemy of South Korea, and the perverted self-esteem of the Koreans cannot allow failure. So basically they all rejected Huang Yifei's invitation and were unwilling to come to China to participate in Kunlun Wulin Fighting.
Huang Yifei didn't care about this, because he would never wake up because he was not beaten and hurt. A few years later, when Korean students in the World Taekwondo Martial Arts Hall found that they were no match for Chinese martial arts halls, they knew they would be eliminated.
Because people who can learn fighting skills in this world will naturally choose the strongest fighting skills!
In the last time of 2012, after announcing these important decisions, Huang Yifei finally had a good rest. He spent his 22nd birthday in Yanjing with his team members and Chen Jingyi, and then returned to Xingcheng together, intending to take a good rest for more than a month and spend the Chinese New Year at the same time.
Over the years, Huang Yifei has been fighting in the south and north all over the world and rarely stays at home for more than a week, let alone rest for a month. As a professional athlete who frequently faces competitions, Huang Yifei does not have a "luxury" rest time for a month.
But now Huang Yifei's competition frequency has finally come to an end, and he can accompany his parents well. At the same time, Huang Yifei also felt a little moved by time. He has changed from a fifteen-year-old boy to a twenty-two-year-old young man today.
However, Huang Yifei immediately faced a very embarrassing thing, that is, Chen Jingyi seemed to graduate from university this year, but his credits were only completed in his sophomore year, which was almost two years away from Chen Jingyi.
So Huang Yifei's wish to have a good rest was shattered. He used this month to spend with Chen Jingyi and had to work on his own homework. At the same time, he began to add courses continuously, intending to complete enough credits for graduation faster.
Because Chen Jingyi has already passed the master's degree at Stanford University in advance, she can't be too far away. At least she is trying to graduate early in college, right?
Chapter completed!
