Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: September 8, 2003}

{Location: Flower Planting-Special Zone}

Levchin now feels more and more that Ning Zimo, who is 8 years younger than him, is definitely an excellent leader.

Because in the past few days, he has used his actual actions to show a new and unique world to his partners, and he has led everyone forward with his own actions.

But outside of work, Levchin still likes to see him relax occasionally.

Although the first thing he did after crossing tens of thousands of kilometers was to joke with his "brother-in-law" who came to pick them up.

By the way, when did he have a sister?

Didn’t he say that he was the only child of his parents?

"Brother-in-law, are you reliable at driving? I still want to keep my usefulness. Either I will turn the world upside down, or I will bring benefits to one side of the world, or I will live in a corner and be rich and unkind."

Ning Zimo's teasing words made Han Qinghua, who took the initiative to take his suitcase, shake his shoulders.

But he couldn't fight back because he had just obtained his driver's license less than a month ago.

But what the cheap brother-in-law said was too inappropriate. What does it mean to be rich and unkind? Is this what he should say?

There are foreign guests here, and they still speak English.

Han Qinghua had no choice but to lead the way with a wry smile.

He was so helpless. He originally wanted to talk about his family affairs while picking up his brother-in-law. Not to mention that it was a task given to him by his wife, just because they had worked together for so long on weekdays, he should also go and talk to his brother-in-law.

.

But what he never expected was that his brother-in-law would bring his former colleagues from Beiba with him when he came back this time.

So what else can we talk about when there are other people around?

Han Qinghua, who was dragging the box and leading the way, could only lead the way in silence.

But he didn't expect his brother-in-law, who was walking behind him, to quickly surpass him and whisper to him:

"Brother-in-law, hurry up. Before the Shengda team comes, I want to talk to Wu Zhenyu first."

***+***

"The Wanxiang Illusion has achieved today's results, which proves that President Wu is young and promising." Zhai Haibin looked very warm when he held Wu Zhenyu's hand, but Wu Zhenyu still heard the condescending words in his words clearly.

Wu Zhenyu was patted on the shoulder by Zhai Jianguo, with a smile on his face but something strange in his heart.

Ordinarily, even when he was young and vigorous, his temper would not have been able to bear such contempt.

But there was no change in my mentality today.

When did you start to become indifferent?

Is it after working with Mr. Ning for a while?

When Wu Zhenyu thought of this, he suddenly couldn't help but smile.

Thinking of the problem that the person in front of me is eager to solve, I'm afraid the big boss inside doesn't take it seriously at all, right?

Wu Zhenyu's sudden smile made the condescending Zhai Haibin frown slightly.

What's the situation,

Ignored?

"Mr. Zhai is joking. I cannot achieve what Wanxiang Illusion has achieved today with my own strength." Wu Zhenyu clearly saw the wrinkles on Zhai Haibin's brow, but did not explain much, "Mr. Zhai is here."

, let’s go to the office and talk.”

Following the direction Wu Zhenyu reached out to indicate, Tang Ruiwen next to Wu Zhenyu also made the same movement.

Zhai Haibin's brows did not relax because of this. Under the gazes of Wu Zhenyu and the others, he took a deep look at the image wall behind the fifth-floor door.

Mr. Lin Ning always had several company nameplates there, from various types of companies, which made him very confused.

But the host invited him, so Zhai Haibin had no choice but to lead the team and follow him with big strides.

After turning around the wall with the image of Emperor Penguins, there was a screen at the inner door. Zhai Haibin noticed a large Emperor Penguin logo on the screen and a background picture of Emperor Penguins clustered together.

Before he had time to think about the contents of that impressive image wall, he turned a corner and came to a vast space.

Although this space has obvious regional divisions, the unity can clearly be seen from the differences in different styles.

Zhai Jianguo's impressive team of about ten people seemed to have no influence on everyone in the work area. They were still concentrating on doing their own things. Although one or two people were walking out of the room, they passed each other.

When they passed by, they just looked at each other and smiled at the two leaders.

The overall atmosphere of the office, which was orderly and calm in the chaos, combined with the different nameplates at the door and the meaningful logo on the screen, Zhai Haibin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

What happened today,

I'm afraid it won't be easy to talk about.

Traveling through this almost unseen space, Zhai Haibin looked calm, but the impact in his heart became more intense.

When we were led to a large transparent glass room, we could clearly see the layout of the conference room inside from the outside.

A young man was sitting in the row opposite, looking intently at the computer in front of him.

From where he was sitting, Zhai Haibin could tell that it was the person in charge of the other party. He must have some relationship with Coldplay.

It stands to reason that Shengda, who ranks among the top three in the business he represents, why should a member of a small company come to greet him? Is it because he is the boss who sits and waits like that?

After the change from Jisheng Technology to Coldplay Technology, the shareholder also became a person named Ning Zimo.

Thinking of this, Zhai Haibin put those distracting thoughts behind for the time being, and followed Wu Zhenyu and his team through the door.

When the tall young man with a childish face walked up to him leisurely, with Wu Zhenyu's introduction, Zhai Haibin overlapped the name he just thought of with the young man in front of him.

"This is our Emperor Penguin-Mr. Ning."

Ning Zimo stretched out his hand and introduced himself to Zhai Haibin, "Welcome, Mr. Zhai, I am Ning Zimo, and Coldplay Technology is a company owned by Emperor Penguin."

Emperor penguin?

Is this the entire floor?

…

The expanded "Xiaobai House" is the conference room that can accommodate the largest number of people in this 3,000-square-meter office space. In addition to the staff meeting, it is almost used to prepare for negotiations. Shengda and his 12-person team lined up opposite

, compared with Ning Zimo’s three people, they are really impressive.

However, when he knew early on that Shengda was coming to discuss the acquisition of Vientiane Fantasy, a subsidiary of Coldplay, Ning Zimo, who knew the opponent's trump card, had already made a plan in mind.

Speaking of which, Shengda, which relied on legends in its previous life, began to gradually launch their game industry expansion plan in 2003.

And Ji Sheng's illusion of all things is their first step.

It's a pity that Zhai Haibin, who was the main force in talking about Jisheng in his previous life, did not find a real way out after acquiring Jisheng.

It was only after several years of development that Jisheng's Vientiane Fantasy finally had a positive flow, but at that time Shengda had not expanded on Jisheng's line.

At that time, Jisheng's competitor Shunwang Technology was developing well, so much so that it finally acquired Jisheng from Shengda.

Ning Zimo didn't want to delve into their development process, because he didn't care how Jisheng and Shunwang developed in his previous life.

Anyway, the Internet cafe industry that grows flowers will develop according to the model of Jisheng or Shunwang in the previous life, and there will not be an overlord who can have an absolute monopoly status.

Because their development model is wrong!

After Zhai Haibin sat down and observed for a long time, he always felt that his charged blow hit the cotton.

The source of the problem is probably the young man who only said a few words after he appeared.

Zhai Jianguo was thinking about how to proceed with the acquisition while the relevant person in charge of the business and investment department was in front.

Speaking of which, the acquisition of Coldplay is something Shengda has been planning for a long time. Because of Legend, Shengda has entered a game world that is divided and divided by Wangyi, Jinshan, and Old City Fengfeng. Although Shengda has made money by relying on Legend

However, how to develop under the backlog of several other major competitors has become a new problem.

The big boss Chen Tianqiao thought hard for a long time and personally formulated the strategic plan for the game entertainment platform. The e-sales recharge system was proposed first. However, it is only a web version of the recharge system and cannot be regarded as a platform strategy. Therefore, occupying the terminals in Internet cafes

The Vientiane Illusion with the highest rate becomes the target.

Shengda wants to launch e-sales, and it is most direct to cooperate with Coldplay, which has such a high market share.

What is more direct is the acquisition of Coldplay and its Vientiane Fantasy!

Can,

The problem is.

The other side disagrees!

How else can this go on?

Ning Zimo looked at Zhai Haibin's uncertain face and found it very boring, because he couldn't always look at a grown man like this.

So out of boredom, he simply compared the strength of the two parties and found that except for the legal department, few people in the crowd opposite had notebooks.

Calculating, the number of people on the opposite side is 4 times that of our own side, but their equipment is lagging behind.

After 20 minutes of development, there are two big pieces missing. How to play on the other side?

However, the two people in charge who were pushed to the stage did not seem to be aware of these problems. They went straight to the topic of acquisitions from the introduction, as if Coldplay would die without them.

Did they not understand the situation at all?

Since they haven't figured out Tsinghua yet, let me wake them up.

Ning Zimo knocked on the table hard. The sound rudely interrupted the words of the person in charge of the Shengda Investment Department opposite. The other person was surprised and had an angry expression on his face.

But Ning Zimo was too lazy to let these weak soldiers and crabs who were pushed to the stage do their best. He stared at Zhai Haibin, the general manager of the Shengda team who was hiding behind him, and spoke.

"Mr. Zhai, we all have things to do. Let's get straight to the point."

Ning Zimo's move directly changed the scene just now, and Zhai Haibin had to straighten his body.

"Although it has been a cold winter for the Internet cafe industry from June last year to this year, Coolplay has added 12,500 Internet cafe users since it changed its name to today, and currently accounts for 98% of the registered Internet cafes nationwide.

As for the unofficial data, I won’t come up with it. The proportion will only be higher than 98%. And this result is first of all the accumulation of our military general in the past seven years, and then it is part of the success of our transformation this time.

"

The 98% market share that Ning Zimo mentioned was originally the user base of Vientiane Fantasy that he valued before acquiring Jisheng in April. At that time, Vientiane already had a 72% market share.

After the revision, Wanxiang has occupied the market aggressively because it is almost free, and its share has rapidly exceeded 98% from the original basis.

This is real data, displayed on Wu Zhenyu's screen.

The head of the investor who had just been interrupted by Ning Zimo was already very angry. In front of everyone, he, a person in a high position, was interrupted by a small boss of a small company?

He couldn't swallow this breath!

And this ignorant guy actually said that Wanxiang occupies 98% of the Internet cafe market?

Where did he get the confidence?

He has to find some ground, right? But just when he was about to seize the entry point of data and prepare to speak, he saw Wu Zhenyu across from him calmly skipping a screen of ppt and displaying the contents of the computer on the projection screen.

"Official data counted 110,000 Internet cafes in 2002. Even if there is a 10% increase this year, there will be 120,000 Internet cafes. But currently we count 158,351 Internet cafes in the world. Considering that there are always omissions in official data, we can only conservatively estimate the number of Internet cafes.

My own calculation is 98% of the Internet cafe market share.

These are not important. What is important is that our Wanxiang Illusion can currently count how many computer terminals are using Wanxiang. Since the latest version updates are all carried out uniformly through the server, we have accurate numbers for terminal statistics.

, no one knows the actual situation of Zhonghua Internet Cafe better than us."

With Ning Zimo's signal, Wu Zhenyu clicked on the ppt to introduce the pages of the Vientiane Illusion Terminal, and calmly introduced the contents.

When Billionaire acquired Beibao in 2002, Ning Zimo saw the ppt made by Billionaire MBA masters.

After all, relying on the advantages of powerful office suites, the ppts made by MBA masters who are hundreds of millions of times more powerful are indeed beautiful.

Emperor Penguin is still a big company no matter what, so the things it produces shouldn't be too ugly.

Ning Zimo simply learned it and threw a beautiful ppt structure to Wu Zhenyu. As for the ppt displayed in front of the Shengda people, Wu Zhenyu combined it with the actual data of Wanxiang Illusion and completed it in less than half an hour.

come out.

The beautiful ppt on the wall caught the attention of all 12 people in Shengda Yifang. It looked like they had never seen the world before, which made Wu Zhenyu feel quite a sense of accomplishment.

The person in charge of the Shengda Investment Department silently turned off the ppt displayed in front of him after looking at it twice.

because,

Really,

No comparison.

In shock, Zhai Haibin heard that young voice.

"Mr. Zhai, although you and Zhenyu have discussed the acquisition intention before, acquisition is impossible here."

Zhai Haibin couldn't help but frown again. This feeling that the negotiation was out of control made him feel very uncomfortable. He could only squint his eyes and look at the young man opposite.

The head of Shengda Investment Department, who suffered successive setbacks, finally couldn't help the anger in his heart and jumped out, "Mr. Ning, you spent 1 million to acquire Jisheng. We can pay three times the price, and you will make a profit in three months."

2 million, can this business be done?"

Ning Zimo had a smile on his face without moving, but Wu Zhenyu beside him turned his head and asked Tang Ruiwen softly, "Ruiwen, how much sales did Treasure Digging Trading do in the past 12 months?"

Tang Ruiwen originally had a serious face, but when Wu Zhenyu asked, she smiled softly: "128 million US dollars."

It was said softly, but in fact, everyone present could hear the conversation between the two of them.

Wu Zhenyu's mind was so open that Ning Zimo suddenly had a hard time holding it back.

How could this guy learn so badly? It's really disturbing.

He and Tang Ruiwen sang together, which immediately made the person speaking opposite blush.

Hey, this is a big deal.

You are young and energetic, and you are always going to cause trouble.

Ning Zimo was just about to ease the situation when he saw Zhai Haibin, who had not moved much, raised his hand.

Zhai Haibin looked at Ning Zimo. He felt that he had ignored the young man opposite him since he entered the door.

Although he has said that sentence from the beginning to now, but if you think about it carefully, it is not showing off, but it seems that he wants to explain something.

He can't grasp the point of this young man now. What is he thinking? What on earth is he going to do?

Zhai Haibin's mind was spinning rapidly, but he still felt that he couldn't figure out the thoughts of the young man opposite him.

But the raised hand is like an arrow ready to go. You can't say nothing!

Zhai Haibing took a breath silently to calm down his fluctuating emotions, spread his hands and thought about Ning Zimo and said, "Mr. Ning, why don't you tell me what you think."

"The acquisition of Coldplay Technology will not solve Shengda's problems. Why not talk about cooperation?"

The corners of Ning Zimo's mouth turned up, smiling like a ghost.
