My 1999

Looking at the meeting minutes on the table, most of them are about differences between Hongmeng and investment institutions.

Not many are valuable.

But this is normal. There is nothing fancy in business negotiations. It is nothing more than you looking for my shortcomings to lower the price, and me selling myself and bragging to raise the price. Then everyone finds a balance point in the middle and signs the contract.

But this balance point is difficult to find, and quarrels and slaps on the table are inevitable.

So, he still has to wait.

Dong Dong…….

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

With the sound of the door opening, Xie Wen opened the door and walked in.

"Lao Xie, why are you here?"

"The investors have all gone to visit the Hongmeng subsidiary. I have nothing to do, so I stopped by to take a look. In addition, I have one more thing to discuss with you."

It was the original plan to visit the subsidiary, so Xu Liang didn't ask any questions.

"What happened?"

"Bao Yueqiao declined our invitation."

Xu Liang frowned, "Didn't he promise to come to Hongmeng before?"

"I didn't expect him to go back on his word so quickly after agreeing verbally. If I had known better, I should have signed the personnel contract earlier."

Xu Liang couldn't deny that it was not a good thing to forcefully stay with someone who didn't care about Hongmeng.

"Do you know where he went?"

"After being recruited by Penguin, Bonima personally came forward and made three consecutive trips to convince Bao Yueqiao to serve as Penguin's vice president."

Xie Wen sighed, "Mr. Xu, this was my mistake. I didn't do my job well and let Penguin take advantage of it."

Xu Liang shook his head.

"It's none of your business, it's just that the company has been too busy recently."

Not to mention anything else, Hongmeng’s current B-round financing has involved a lot of energy from the company. As COO and first person in charge, Xie Wen has a heavy responsibility.

Coupled with the many businesses of major subsidiaries, it is difficult for him to spare the energy to pay attention to personnel work.

The people below came forward, and of course they were not as sincere as those who came from Ponima's three visits to the thatched cottage.

"Didn't you show Bao Yueqiao the design plan of the 'Hongmeng Mobile System'?" Xu Liang asked.

"No. It's a company secret. How can we reveal it before they join the company?"

"No wonder Bao Yueqiao went to Penguin."

Although Penguin is not as good as Hongmeng, with its huge revenue from Monternet, it is already China's top Internet company, on the same level as the three major portals.

Penguin's top management is naturally very tempting to the outside world.

In contrast, entering Hongmeng Research Institute is more like being idle.

After all, there are too few Chinese companies doing scientific research now.

Xie Wen didn't make it too clear, so Bonima took advantage of him.

"Besides Bao Yueqiao, is there anyone else?"

"Basically the entire leadership team was poached."

Xie Wen looked a little ugly. After all, this was his work mistake.

"Where are the engineers?"

"Most of them stayed. After all, our treatment is no less than that of penguins."

Xu Liang nodded, "Lao Xie, don't be upset. This matter may not be a good thing for us."

"Good thing?"

"Well... Lenovo has compromised. In the next few days, they will sell me 30% of their shares in Kingsoft. Together with the shares held in the stock market, we can officially acquire Kingsoft.

When the time comes, let Mr. Qiubo lead the people from Kingsoft to preside over the ‘Hongmeng Mobile Operating System’ project, which will also eliminate the worry of internal friction. "Xu Liang said.

"What about Jinshan Company?"

"Although Lei Xiaojun is a philistine, he is indeed a top business talent and has good programming skills. Kingsoft Company will continue to be managed by him.

As for Jinshan Company’s business.

WPS, Kingsoft PowerWord, and Kingsoft Internet Security will be retained, and Hongmeng Internet Cafe Management Software will be merged with them, and we will focus on application software development in the future.

Xishanju changed its name to ‘Tianwu Studio’ and merged into Hongmeng Games. "

Xu Liang laid out the future plan for Jinshan Company that he had conceived in the past two days.

Xie Wen pondered for a while, "I don't have any objections. I'll just follow your plan."

After the two discussed the details of integrating Jinshan Company, Xie Wen left.

"Lu Hui?"

"Mr. Xu, did you call me?"

"Please help me contact Lei Xiaojun, the general manager of Jinshan Company, and I will treat him to dinner tonight."

"yes."

——

Sixi Building Tianzi No. 1.

Lei Xiaojun looked at the antique and luxurious decoration, but had no idea of ​​admiring it at all.

As the general manager of Jinshan Company, although he did not receive specific information, he was aware of the battle between Lenovo and Xu Liang through the stock market.

To be honest, he is not optimistic about Lenovo.

The strength gap between the two sides is too big, and 30% is not a safe number.

Therefore, when I received the invitation from Xu Liang, I came without hesitation.

He is a smooth and smart man who knows exactly which choice is more beneficial to him.

Just when he was thinking about what kind of attitude he should use to face Xu Liang next, the sound of footsteps approaching from far away came from outside.

My heart was shocked, and I quickly stood up and looked towards the door.

Squeak.

The door opens.

Xu Liang walked in wearing a sky blue short-sleeved T-shirt, red and blue striped large pants, and slippers on his feet.

Seeing this, Lei Xiaojun didn't feel that he was being treated lightly.

The entire business community knows that Xu Liang, the boss of Hongmeng Company, does not like to wear suits.

He quickly took two steps forward.

"Hello, Mr. Xu. I'm Lei Xiaojun. It's an honor to meet you."

After a simple handshake, Xu Liang couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Lei Xiaojun, who was much younger than he remembered.

In his last life, he had met Lei Xiaojun.

When I visited Xiaomi under the leadership of a venture capital investor, they spoke on stage for five minutes and then left in a hurry.

That style of being able to respond to every call made him extremely envious.

But after a few years, seeing each other again can only bring me a little emotion.

After a brief greeting, the two sat down at the dining table.

"Mr. Xu, do you want to serve food?"

Lu Hui came over and asked.

"A pot of tea first, the food will wait a while."

Lu Hui nodded and stepped aside.

"Mr. Lei, you must also know that I am acquiring Jinshan, right?"

Lei Xiaojun nodded.

Because the Securities Law stipulates that after an investment company acquires 5% of the equity of a listed company, it must notify the target company and the Securities and Exchange Commission within 15 days.

So now, although Lei Xiaojun has noticed something strange from the fluctuations in Kingsoft's stock price, he has not received the equity documents from Hanhua and Hongyan.

"In fact, I have reached an agreement with people from Lenovo. Hongmeng will acquire their 30% stake in Kingsoft, and Qiubojun also agreed to fold his 27% stake in Kingsoft into the head office.

In addition, we have acquired almost 10% of Kingsoft's equity.

So to a certain extent, Kingsoft is already a subsidiary of Hongmeng. "

Lei Xiaojun's heart thumped, and a nervous emotion emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Although he also owns 10% of the equity in Jinshan Company, he cannot control his own destiny.

After taking a deep breath.

"I wonder how Mr. Xu arranges Jinshan Company's business?"

“It’s very simple. Xishanju has been renamed ‘Tianwu Studio’ and will become the fourth studio under Hongmeng Games China.

Kingsoft’s brand will be retained and merged into Hongmeng’s ‘Hongmeng Internet Cafe Management Software’ business and ‘Hongmeng Pinyin Input Method’ business, becoming a subsidiary focused on application software. "

After a pause, he glanced at Lei Xiaojun's expression and continued with a smile.

"Please, Mr. Bo..."

Lei Xiaojun's eyes trembled. Although his expression was calm, the fists he unconsciously clenched betrayed his emotions.

Lei Xiaojun knew very well that Qiubo Jun and Hongmeng had long been in contact.

It is very likely that the other party will replace him and become the general manager or CEO of Jinshan Company again.

"Qiu Bojun enters Hongmeng Research Institute and takes charge of new projects."

"Um?"

Lei Xiaojun's face showed surprise.

"Mr. Lei, you are one of the few top managers I have seen with extraordinary business talent and industry acumen. After Kingsoft is acquired, you will become the vice president of Hongmeng and the executive president of Kingsoft."

Lei Xiaojun was overjoyed and blurted out.

"real?"

"certainly."

Xu Liang smiled and nodded. Although Lei Xiaojun is now walking on a dark road, he is still not the thick-faced and dark-hearted Ray Booth Capital who was more than ten years later.

"Thank you Mr. Xu for your trust. I will manage Jinshan Company well."

"Words are not enough, it depends on actions." After a pause, "The biggest problem of Jinshan Company now is the loss of WPS. What solution do you have?"

Lei Xiaojun understood that this was the big boss's assessment of him.

If he fails the assessment, although he still has a great possibility of managing Jinshan Company, it may not be easy for him to be promoted in the future.

In fact, as the general manager of Jinshan Company, he has indeed considered this issue.

"Mr. Xu, regarding WPS's loss problem, I have two solutions."

"oh?"

Xu Liang became interested and made a continue gesture.

"The first way is because WPS has a licensing agreement with Microsoft Office, so WPS can give up research and development, fully copy Office, and then quickly expand the installed capacity of WPS Office through a free strategy. With enough traffic, we can add pop-up advertisements .

Without the drag of R\u0026D expenses, advertising expenses can completely cover expenses and obtain sufficient profits. "

Xu Liangliang was stunned.

This strategy is what he remembers as WPS, which fully imitates office and then uses pop-up ads to make money.

"What about the second option?"

"Continue to do research and development. The basic functions of WPS are free, and the advanced functions are charged."

"Tell me more about it," Xu Liang said.

"Take WPS as an example. Most people use WPS for typing. We can make the typing function free, but charge VIP fees for inserting charts and word art functions.

But how much money can you make using this method? Whether it can make up for R\u0026D expenditures and labor expenditures is still uncertain.

But we can make up for it by combining the revenue from pop-up ads. "

Xu Liang nodded. This second method was the paid item in the free strategy launched after WPS was acquired by Penguin.

Including the content charging model that he mentioned before, Mr. Xiangqiu, is also a charging item of Penguin WPS free strategy.

However, this is not yet the era when the free strategy has become popular in China and has become China's Internet operating model.

Lei Xiaojun can think of these, which is already very good.
