Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 267 171 Pokémon Steak

Chapter 267 171. Pokémon Steak

"Huh? I didn't expect Son Zhengyi to be such an interesting person."

When I had dinner with Tsuda Nao in the evening, Qing Zhiyuan talked about this matter.

Tsuda Nao was very excited.

If Nao Tsuda invested in games before because the game business was more or less consistent with some of DUN’s [blue] concepts, then she didn’t know that much about computer software.

Mainly because the entertainment potential of computers has not yet been fully developed, that is, in the past few years, computer games and blue media have slowly emerged.

So before this, Tsuda Nao only knew that there was a person like Masayoshi Son, but she didn't know that this person was so bold in his heart.

"And it's really funny to use both soft and hard tactics to threaten you in front of you." Nao Tsuda couldn't help but laugh, "He really wants to win pokeni. I've seen Masayoshi Son's Determined.”

"yes."

Qing Zhiyuan said it was the first time he met such a shameless and direct [investor]

It makes people feel that one head is as big as two.

In fact, in his previous life, this was how Son [forcibly] bought shares in Yahoo -

The time was also 1995. After SoftBank completed the initial accumulation of capital for its listing, it actually had a lot of money in its hands.

Son Zhengyi is no different from a gambler. Whether he has 100 yuan or 100 million, he will give you a stud in the next second.

At that time, SoftBank was thinking about engaging in the Internet, so it took a fancy to the company Yahoo.

In 1995, Yahoo was still a small company with only 15 people, and the portal had not yet been launched. It could only be said that it was just a prototype.

Then Masayoshi Son threw $100 million directly into the face of Yahoo founder Jerry Yang.

That's right, this man, like Nvidia's boss Lao Huang, is Chinese. He was born in China's treasure island. Because he founded Yahoo, he was later hailed as "the first Internet person of the century" and can be called a representative entrepreneur.

He has a strong China complex and has inspired generations of Chinese Internet newcomers.

A hundred million hit in the face was really unheard of for Yang Zhiyuan, and he was knocked unconscious all of a sudden.

Son was not polite and directly asked for 30% of Yahoo's shares.

Jerry Yang expressed that he was particularly confused. We are a small company with only 15 people. Is it worthy of your massive efforts? Spend 2 million points for 5% of the equity. Maybe Yang Zhiyuan agreed at that time.

One hundred million.

Still dollars.

No matter what, I feel like something is not quite right.

One of him or Son must be crazy or stupid.

I have seen people who are great at investing, but I have never seen anyone invest as crazy as Masayoshi Son.

So Jerry Young was a little hesitant at the time.

But before he had hesitated for a few days, Sun Zhengyi saw that he was too soft and he immediately went hard.

Masayoshi Son directly went to Jerry Yang and said, "If Yahoo doesn't accept our investment, then I will invest in your competitors. What about EXCITE, Lycos... you better think clearly."

When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, he was forced to agree. It was equivalent to being forced into a carriage and he wanted to cry without tears.

You see, it is to force a shareholding. If you don’t accept it, I will vote for your competitor. This has become Son’s usual tactic in future investments.

And it’s very easy to use, and it works repeatedly.

Qing Zhiyuan himself concluded that the era may have exaggerated Son's "accurate vision". Sometimes it may be a game of capital, and many future "superstars" are created by money.

If Masayoshi Son had not chosen Yahoo back then, but had chosen a competitor of Yahoo, history might have been different.

SoftBank’s forced acquisition of shares in Yahoo has not yet happened.

Because Son Zhengyi turned a corner and came to his own place.

Should I say that he has unique vision, or that he is stupid and has too much money?

Why do you have to compete with me like this?

…

Under the dim and romantic lights of the restaurant, Nao Tsuda was cutting the steak slowly.

After finishing a piece, she wiped the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "I think Sun Zhengyi's idea is quite good."

"ha?"

Qing Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, "Is this okay? I always feel like I'm being raped, which is especially unpleasant."

He can now deeply understand Yang Zhiyuan's mood back then.

The key is that Masayoshi Son is really a person. Our pokeni has a stronger foundation than your SoftBank. You are really a rogue if you are even better than you.

Tsuda Nao covered her mouth and smiled, almost choking on Qing Zhiyuan's words.

After calming down for a while, Nao Tsuda said, "If you want to buy shares, you can buy shares, but I don't want him to buy shares in pokeni."

"Huh? What's that about investing in shares?"

Qing Zhiyuan put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at Tsuda Nao in confusion.

Why can't I understand this?

"Don't he want your forum and the Internet industry of pokeni in the future?" Tsuda Nao said, "You take them out separately and set up a subsidiary, called net-pokeni, or pokeni Network Technology Co., Ltd. of.

Anyway, it is specially used for the Internet.

Then use this subsidiary to raise funds, sell part of the equity to SoftBank, cooperate with them, and then pokeni's parent company takes the majority, wouldn't it be enough? "

"Why?"

Is there still such a way to play?

Sure enough, the brain circuits of these two foxes were the same.

"Is this really feasible?" Qing Zhiyuan said he was a little shocked. "The main thing is, will Son accept it? Doesn't this mean he is treated as a fool?"

"Qingsang, do you know how Samsung Corporation in Bangzi Country controls such a huge group?"

Tsuda Nao did not answer his question directly, but asked another seemingly irrelevant question.

Qing Zhiyuan shook his head and said he was not very clear.

"Look, let's give you a vivid example."

Tsuda Nao used a fork to cut a large piece of steak on the plate and set it aside.

"Let's say it's a $10 billion company called Internet Steak."

"So if you want to become his major shareholder, how much money do you think it will cost?"

Qing Zhiyuan thought about it seriously, "If you are just a major shareholder, then it depends on your share. If you get 51%, you are the absolute major shareholder. If you want absolute voting rights, you have to control 66%. above.

So based on the minimum requirement for major shareholders, I would have to spend 5.1 billion. "

Nao Tsuda smiled and then cut the steak in half.

"Look, let's say this [Internet Steak] has a major shareholder called [Game Steak]. This Game Steak accounts for 51% of the shares, but Game Steak's own valuation is only 5 billion."

"Then……"

Nao Tsuda cut another half of the steak.

"There is a [Blue Steak] on Game Steak, which accounts for 51% of Game Steak's shares, but Blue Steak only has 2.5 billion."

"There is a [Pokémon Steak] on top of the blue steak, worth 1 billion."

"Then at this time, you only need to spend 510 million to control [Pokémon Steak], and then use [Pokémon Steak] to control [Blue Steak] and then control the [Game Steak] below...

Finally, with 510 million, you can control [Internet Steak] worth 10 billion."

Tsuda Nao looked at Qing Zhiyuan who was dumbfounded, picked up the last small piece of [Pokémon Steak] with a fork and fed it into his mouth.

After chewing slowly for a few times, Tsuda Nao smiled, "So do you understand? How is Samsung able to control so many huge and complicated companies through one or two small core companies?"

Qing Zhiyuan nodded as if he suddenly understood, "Wow, I understand."

In his previous life, Qing Zhiyuan always believed that stock holding was a very difficult subject, but after listening to Tsuda Nao's explanation, the doubts in his mind disappeared.

And suddenly I felt confident.

"Subsidiary business is a science, and if used well, it is a very good tool."

"Don't be afraid to open a subsidiary. Sometimes splitting the business is more conducive to the company's operation and development." Nao Tsuda said, "For example, a company has two businesses, one is growing potatoes, and the other is processing potatoes. , the two companies seem to be related, but they may each be able to develop better after being separated.

Those who grow potatoes can spend more money on genetic improvement of potatoes, chemical fertilizers, and breeding models.

Those who process potatoes can specialize in industrialized and automated processing of potatoes into different products. "

"Just like pokeni now, there are games and forums. In the future, the forums will be taken out to set up a dedicated Internet subsidiary. This company will be able to specialize in Internet-related products. Games will also be taken out and specialized in game companies.

In fact, it’s good for each other. "

"As for the future," Nao Tsuda said, "If you don't want [Pokémon Steak] to be listed on the market, you can definitely list [Internet Steak] first. This is also in the interests of shareholders, and I believe Masayoshi Son is also very happy to see it. become."

"After the Internet Steak is launched, you can also separate the Game Steak and list it separately. There is no problem with this."

"So I think for investors like Masayoshi Son, he must have been familiar with this holding model for a long time. Maybe he doesn't want the rest of your industry and just wants to focus on pokeni's Internet. .”

Qing Zhiyuan did not speak, but ate the steak silently.

While digesting the food in his mouth, he was digesting what Tsuda Nao just said.

There were many things that I had not been able to figure out in my previous life, but now they suddenly became clear to me.

A fox is a fox.

I am so lucky to have such a reliable partner and girlfriend like Nao Tsuda in this life.

…

Early the next morning, Qing Zhiyuan himself found Son Zhengyi.

The other party seemed a little surprised, as if he had planned to force the bow on the Overlord, but now the bow came up on its own.

Son invited Qing Zhiyuan into the conference room, and the young pokeni president in his early 30s shared his thoughts.

"We want to separate the Internet and set up a subsidiary, tentatively named P-NET." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Hiss...

Son Zhengyi took a breath of air.

Does this person take me for a fool?

Is there a difference between investing in a parent company and investing in a subsidiary company?

"This is done to make the core of the business more specialized and more conducive to the future development of P-NET." Qing Zhiyuan said, "Although our company is currently involved in the forum only part of the Internet, in the future we can focus on The Internet has given rise to many other industries.”

Now that he had made up his mind, Qing Zhiyuan did not want to hide it.

When the forum is opened, there is a foundation for Internet technology.

Take it out separately and set up a new subsidiary, and then this Internet module can become very big in the future.

But it does not mean that we have strayed away from our original intention.

Because in Qingzhiyuan’s territory planning, Internet products can serve games in the future, and games can also serve these Internet products.

For example, there are forums now.

With a little expansion, it can become [Zhihu]

Add picture functions and video functions in the future, and you can become Bilibili...

The same goes for portals.

Now pokeni has a unique advantage. The players on the forum have become the first batch of Internet natives of P-net, and they are also the basic base of Qing Zhiyuan.

The scale of these people is actually not small, at least more than 100,000.

Once it can be expanded, this 100,000 army will become a very powerful force.

Qing Zhiyuan kept talking.

Describing the glorious, mature and colorful world of the Internet that he once experienced.

Network information is the first big part. This part gave birth to search engines, portals, forums, various consulting websites...

Then there is online entertainment, which can be divided into streaming media, literature, comics, videos and games.

When the game is significant enough, it will be taken out separately and become a major module of online games.

These are all based on what can be analyzed and seen.

Others include online shopping, virtual currency, virtual property, online banking, online loans, etc. These are things that Qing Zhiyuan did not dare to say and did not want to share with Sun Zhengyi.

But just talking about the tip of the iceberg is shocking enough.

Listening to Qing Zhiyuan's description, Sun Zhengyi felt that a magnificent picture was constantly emerging in front of his eyes.

After listening to Qing Zhiyuan's analysis, Son Zhengyi was moved by the young man in front of him.

I don't know why, but I always feel that Qing Zhiyuan has a kind of magical power, as if this man's eyes can see the future.

Masayoshi Son himself has a time machine theory, which roughly means [the development speed and technological level of various countries in the world are different], and then you can first learn and understand emerging industrial models and operations in developed countries, and then copy it to Among countries that do not yet possess these enterprises and technologies.

It's like sitting in a time machine.

And now Qing Zhiyuan seems to have really come back in a time machine.

The description is too real.

Even Son Zhengyi began to think about the future mentioned by Qing Zhiyuan.

"good."

Masayoshi Son nodded, "P-NET, after you establish it, SoftBank will directly invest US$100 million, and you will give me 40% of the equity."

"30%." Qing Zhiyuan was unambiguous.

"35%"

"25%"

Son Zhengyi tilted his head and looked at Qing Zhiyuan in surprise.

Good guy, you are getting lower and lower.

P-net doesn't even have a shadow yet.
