Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: February 29, 2004}

{Location: Flower Planting-Qiantang}

"Isn't your main business always abroad? Why did you stay in Shanghai for a week this time? Is this your plan to show off your skills in China once you have money?"

Ma Yun looked at Ning Zimo who was sitting next to her and asked curiously.

Ning Zimo didn't even raise his head, still rubbing his temples, "This time there is really a big move to be implemented, but it has little to do with the Internet industry. We are planning to do something else."

The trip to the magical capital finally came to an end. At the last stop of the trip to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, Ning Zimo and the three companions rushed to Qiantang to discuss some matters with Teacher Ma.

Dong Qianqian glanced back from the rearview mirror. This was the second time she saw this middle-aged man who was chatting happily with her boss.

The last time was on November 1st, when she was seconded to Emperor Penguin for the first time as a temporary secretary. At that time, it was this middle-aged man and Mr. Cai, who was behind the car with extraordinary temperament, who came to borrow the car.

When I compare myself with Mr. Ma, I always feel that my boss should be on the same team as Mr. Cai.

"Didn't I acquire Glass Slag? In fact, I want to get involved in the game industry, but I don't directly use Glass Slag to operate the game. Instead, I already had a team responsible for an online game distribution platform called Wegame last year.

This year, this platform will bring games from major game companies including Glass Slag, EA, and Ubisoft, and will be available on the platform."

Ning Zimo did not wait for Teacher Ma to act as a curious baby, and said directly, "Wegame is still a European company after all, so after I visited the magic city of Qiantang this time, I had to go to Jiangcheng. Haofang, Winger, and Game Tea Garden

After winning these three game platform companies, I will go to Jiangcheng to win over Ogilvy, the game agency company, and I can let Wegame add some new color to Children's Day."

After hearing Ning Zimo's words, Teacher Ma lost interest and temporarily turned the topic to another side.

But Dong Qianqian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, curled her lips in dissatisfaction when she heard Ning Zimo's understatement.

After working on it for a long time, you spent 60 million US dollars all at once just to add some new colors to Children’s Day?

That’s really easy to say!

…

"A starting point of 15 million RMB, Haofang with 40 million US dollars, a winger with 12 million US dollars, and 8 million US dollars to win the game tea garden!!! Mr. Ning, you are keeping quiet, and you want to make big news that shocks the world?" Cai Chongxin

Grinning, he said, "It seems that Mr. Ning of Yuxi Tea Garden paid you to gain experience."

"Who says it's not the case," Wu Zhenyu shrugged helplessly, "he bought me back from Yizhou with 1 million, but after a year, he asked me to use the money to buy other people, and he demonstrated two large sums of money.

acquisition.

Although I was promoted to preside over the acquisition of Qidian in a very peaceful atmosphere, when I actually arrived at the game tea garden, I talked with his new secretary about 8 million US dollars before finalizing the deal. He really stood by without blinking an eye."

Although it was his first time meeting him, Wu Zhenyu still felt quite close to this elegant man named Mr. Cai Chongxin. Moreover, the boss also said that getting in touch with more people in Ali Company would help his growth. So, he

I opened my heart and chatted with Mr. Cai in the car behind me.

"An online website, three game platforms, plus Ogilvy and Mather, which you are going to visit in a few days. It seems that you Emperor Penguins are preparing to make some moves in the cultural and game industries." Cai Chongxin marveled.

Wu Zhenyu was very surprised when he heard Cai Chongxin reveal their layout. Whether he was observing or directly participating, in less than a week, four transactions worth a total of 62 million US dollars not only achieved the set goals, but also brought him rich experience.

experience.

When he thought that the boss actually asked him to participate in negotiations, although the result was correct, Wu Zhenyu still has lingering fears when thinking about the process.

"Mr. Cai, why do you think our boss is so confident that he pushed me and his secretary to the front to talk? Isn't he afraid that our negotiation will fall apart or that the purchase will be too expensive?"

Cai Chongxin saw Wu Zhenyu's lingering inner thoughts, and also saw that Ning Zimo put Wu Zhenyu in the rear car just to give him some guidance.

Thinking of the way that person made full use of resources, Cai Chongxin still willingly took over the guidance job.

"Mr. Ning, you should have hired a law firm, right? Are you from AllBright City?"

"Yes, Mr. Cai, how did you know?" Wu Zhenyu was even more surprised.

Wu Zhenyu always felt that Mr. Cai seemed to be very familiar with the style of his boss. He suddenly had a mysterious feeling, as if Mr. Cai was the most suitable partner for the boss.

"Your manager Ning has such a style. Although I only came into contact with him in November last year, I can see from his past behavior that he never fights a battle that he is not sure of. Therefore, even if your team does not understand the country, your manager Ning also

An external team will be asked to do a lot of research work in the early stage.

AllBright's services are still very professional, and AllBright, one of the four major players, is very qualified here. This part of the information fee is not free. You would rather pay this group of professional talents to help you identify all kinds of clues.

Find out all the key information you need to negotiate with those across the table.

It is because of this information and preparation that we have brought you a lot of substantial help. Think about it, did the law firm provide you with quite detailed data when you were talking about the Game Tea Garden?"

Bringing Cai Chongxin back to the game tea garden acquisition negotiation that seemed thrilling but extremely simple compared to the other three times, Wu Zhenyu unconsciously affirmed Cai Chongxin's judgment.

"I've put it all together for you. Don't tell me, it's just like this." Wu Zhenyu nodded, "I also just learned that Junhe and AllBright are our cooperative law firms. The SAR side is Junhe, and the other ones are Junhe.

Running to the north is AllBright City.

The annual VIP service fee for all our companies under Emperor Penguin is currently 100,000 per year. During these negotiations, AllBright will send a team of 7 people to handle non-litigation matters for us every time.

These people are paid by the hour for these four projects. I heard from the boss that the fee paid to them every day is close to 30,000 yuan. It seems that they have been working with us for less than a week, but in fact it is not the same.

After more than 40 days of preparation and busy work, the cost was nearly 1.4 million.

Not to mention the 0.5% agency fee for acquisition negotiations, the total price is 52 million US dollars, but the agency fee is 260,000 US dollars. These days, just the fee paid to AllBright City has reached 453,000 US dollars."

Cai Chongxin saw Wu Zhenyu's "little family spirit", but just smiled, "The benefits are obvious, you can save a lot of time, which is enough time for you to do more important things. Besides, there are professional people to do professional work

Well, you spent money to buy their services to support your negotiations. In addition, Mr. Ning personally gave you several demonstrations. You have been quite experienced these times.

It can be said that in this time when legal awareness is not yet sound enough, you, Mr. Ning, want to let you emperor penguins have a correct understanding of legal work from the beginning. Let you all recognize and learn that professionals are responsible for professional matters.

Thoughts. This way, one day in the future, he can help you to do better!"

Listening to a bystander analyze the various actions he participated in this time, Wu Zhenyu was a little unsure whether he recognized him more or was grateful to him in his heart.

But Wu Zhenyu can be sure that his boss is definitely an anomaly. He trusts himself, gives himself enough room for growth, and even pays himself to do things in unfamiliar areas.

How much trust is this!

Wu Zhenyu sighed, but he had to think highly of Mr. Cai next to him.

After all, Mr. Cai had not participated in the entire process, but he could analyze it clearly for himself, an insider, from the perspective of a bystander.

This Mr. Cai,

"Mr. Cai, you are really great. I think you will definitely be the best partner with our boss." Wu Zhenyu marveled.

When Cai Chongxin heard Wu Zhenyu's praise of him, he shook his head calmly, "Your boss Ning seems to be a powerful person. He has spent a lot of effort to help you grow up. I can point it out just because

I totally agree with what he said last time, 'Professional people do professional things'!"

…

"All things and services that can be bought with money are the cheapest. This thinking should not be aristocratic thinking, but should be everyone's thinking. Because using money means that it can be quantified, and anything that can be quantified can be quantified.

It has its value. On the contrary, free things are often the most valuable to everyone.

Too many people who recognize and think that free is good are actually missing the opportunity to make the world more orderly. As everyone knows, if everything can be solved with money and money is the quantitative standard, everything in the world will be there.

based on quantifiable standards rather than so-called morality.”

Sitting at Teacher Ma's house, Ning Zimo was still explaining to Wu Zhenyu while holding a teacup. After finishing speaking, he suddenly found that there was no sound around him.

Except for Cai Chongxin and Ma Yun, the people around him had expressions of approval. Others, including Taobao Sun Tongyu, Wu Zhenyu and Dong Qianqian, all had their brows furrowed.

Ning Zimo smiled and said, "Why, what I said is too shocking and too practical for you to accept?"

Cai Chongxin glanced at Wu Zhenyu, who was chatting a lot along the way, and then at Ning Zimo, who looked serious, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ning, it's a good thing that you only said this in front of our successor. If you really say it,

I’m afraid I’ll be scolded to death.”

This was Ning Zimo's second time in contact with Cai Chongxin. In addition to admiration, he had some admiration for this master who helped him lead people as soon as he sat down.

Glancing at Wu Zhenyu who was confused, Ning Zimo tapped his fingertips lightly, "You guys, if you really want to study it carefully, I can tell you a lot of theories for your reference. It depends on whether you want to hear it or not.

.”

Wu Zhenyu raised his head with an expectant look on his face, "Boss, please tell me."

"Let's talk about the essence of money. According to me, if money becomes the standard for quantifying everything in the world, for ordinary people, money is their own right. As long as I work hard, I will get equal rewards, and I will have the right

Waiting for the harvest brings the possibility of yearning for a better life. In this way, people should be willing to make money. Because everything can be solved with money.

But if you don’t agree with this concept, you think some things should be free, such as education, medical care, and housing. But such material needs essentially require money. If you want it to be free, then the part that is free requires money.

Who will pay? Zf! Where does the money come from? Is it taxes? Why are taxes heavy? It’s not because there are so many free things! In fact, isn’t it just a change of direction that makes the tax burden heavier?

Because to enjoy it for free, a large amount of taxation naturally needs to flow into those free links. But we must also consider human nature. There are always people who are greedy. This is the essence of human nature and is inevitable. Greedy people will inevitably find

Opportunity to keep the money for yourself.

Of course you can say that supervision is needed! Does supervision require people? Yes! How much is appropriate? If it’s too much, it’s not cost-effective. If it’s less, people in this position will become greedy. Only then will you realize that free money breeds greed.

, the main reason for forming privileges. Doesn’t this become an endless cycle of changing directions and increasing costs?

Let's turn around and talk about the quality of free. Since you require things to be free, how do practitioners get paid? How much do they get? Practitioners also grow from babies to adults and need to be trained along the way.

Doesn’t training cost money? You need high-quality free services, but don’t you need high-quality practitioners? Training high-quality talents must cost more than ordinary talents, but if high-quality talents get paid as much as ordinary

With the same number of talents, will there be a balance? Doesn't this force the service quality to lower?

Maybe you think that’s why we require people to be morally high! Wrong! How wrong!

How many professional services do people need in this life to go through life from birth to death? Can you expect that the relevant professionals you meet will be free and moral? Maybe there is, and he is doing it because of his service.

Too many people who think for free may not even be able to talk to a partner because they have no money, and may even be unable to live. Where else can you find high quality?

We definitely appreciate noble people. But we want to ask for more noble people in this society. Can noble people have corresponding rewards? Only then will more people be willing to become noble. What drives it is not

Is money to blame?”

(￣￣)

Ning Zimo spread his hands: "So, do you think that for us ordinary people, it is better to measure the world with visible values ​​such as money, or to measure the world with things that cannot be quantified, such as morality and thought?

Woolen cloth?"

"Boss, this is the first time I've heard of your way of thinking, and I think it's quite novel."

Ning Zi remained silent as to whether Wu Zhenyu's words were positive or negative.

After a pause, he continued: "If money is a quantifiable standard, making money has the right to make life better, and it also becomes the criterion for people to move forward. Then more people will want to become capable.

, and once you have the ability, you can choose to enter one of the professional fields to provide services.

A group of such people form their own market. They compete with each other and check and balance each other, which will definitely make this free market prosperous. And those who work hard to make money pay money, but the services they receive can become better.

Okay, isn’t this a virtuous cycle?

Every one of us ordinary people has no way to choose his own origin, but he has the right to choose his own way of life. But after all, we are like a person on the earth. Everyone on this earth is a small link in the ecological chain of the earth.

, one link corresponds to a professional, professional people do professional things, and people who need it pay the bill.

When an ordinary person like me understands these principles, I can decide to become a professional, become a part of the free market, and enjoy the rules of the ecological chain. Isn't it good to use such a simple and direct method?"

"Well said!" Ma Yun slammed the table and stood up excitedly. After being stunned for two seconds, he still smiled and teased Ning Zimo, "How can you be considered an ordinary person now? You are already the richest flower farmer among us.

people!"

"The more you get, the greater the responsibility." Ning Zimo smiled, "Only after understanding these principles, those of us in business can understand the meaning of our existence in this world. Therefore, we must work hard.

To create a variety of free environments, use various business ecosystems to create job opportunities, let more and more free markets, and give people more opportunities to feel and understand the essence. In this way, don’t we also have the value of our own existence?

.”

"right!"

Ma Yun nodded affirmatively, but he walked around the table excitedly.

"We at Ahri want to make it easy to do business in this world, which is also gentle with your free market thinking. Only in this way will society progress." Ma Yun suddenly stopped and looked at Ning Zimo with a smile.

Said, "Now I understand why you wanted to acquire these game companies and an online literature site.

According to your usual ecological chain thinking, you must want to create a large ecosystem in the cultural and game industries. In this ecosystem, there must be many job opportunities for those who have nothing to do in other fields.

, there are more options to choose from.”

"Of course, that's what we do." Ning Zimo smiled and said, "For example, one of the things I did when I came to Qiantang this time was to discuss the API opening with Taobao."

Following a curious gaze, Ning Zimo saw Sun Tongyu's confused eyes.

Ning Zimo nodded at him and said, "My first pot of gold came from Paypal, but in fact it is a very good third-party software ecosystem. I am wondering if Taobao can open the API related to seller services as soon as possible.

.

We at Luban Technology can provide professional saas software services. We use Luban's professionalism in the software industry to create saas software services for Taobao that are more in line with the habits of various sellers. We help Taobao sellers transition from amateur players to professional players, and then let

Through this professional assistance, the market forms clusters and scales. In this way, sooner or later, a group of Taobao sellers will get rich first, creating the effect that Deng Gong said that getting rich first drives wealth later."

!!!!!!!

"What's wrong with your brain?"

Ma Yun looked at Ning Zimo in surprise, and then spoke again after a while:

"Chongxin, bring a knife, let's pry open his head and study it carefully."
