Rebirth of the Wild Age

The two books "The Future Belongs to China" and "China Can Say No" are still fermenting in an environment of rising nationalism. But the sales volume has not increased very much, because there are pirated copies everywhere, and you can easily buy them at any bookstall.

The current statistics on the genuine sales volume of "The Future Belongs to China" is more than 2.1 million copies. After deducting income tax, Song Weiyang can earn about 2.5 million yuan. More detailed data has not yet been released, but it must be more than now.

Song Weiyang approached Fudan University Press, hoping that the other party would pay 2.6 million yuan in manuscript fees immediately.

This is a very rude request, because the book royalties in China are calculated every six months, and they have to wait until July to settle the settlement. But Song Weiyang made a promise that he only needed 2.6 million yuan, and no matter how much the rest was sold, the profits would go to Fudan University Press.

The leaders of Fudan Publishing House thought it was a good deal. Although the sales volume of "The Future Belongs to China" has dropped sharply recently, it can still sell another 200,000 copies. Adding the data not included in the statistics at this time, Song Weiyang will at least lose hundreds of thousands.

In addition, the overseas copyright of this book is also represented by Fudan Publishing House. At this point, the negotiations have basically come to an end. Overseas copyrights are sold out directly. The total copyright fees in several countries is close to one million. Song Weiyang only needs one million, and the rest can continue to be discussed, and the income will all go to Fudan Publishing House.

Historically, "China Can Say No" was translated into eight languages ​​and sold in more than ten countries around the world.

Song Weiyang's "The Future Belongs to China" is not too bad. Now publishers from six countries have approached them, and they have done the translation work themselves. Next, we can talk about a few countries. Whatever Fudan Publishing House does, it has nothing to do with Song Weiyang after the authorization.

In this way, Song Weiyang received 3.6 million yuan at one time, and then went to Xiangshan City with the money.

No. 8 Lianshan Lane, the headquarters of Jinshan Company.

Qiu Bojun personally led all the staff to warmly welcome Song Weiyang at the entrance of the company.

"Boss Song, you are very welcome!" Qiu Bojun smiled and shook hands.

Song Weiyang laughed loudly: "Old Qiu, we have been chatting online for almost a year now, and we finally met a real person. You are a little more handsome than I imagined, but still not as handsome as I am, not bad, not bad."

"After all, I'm not handsome enough to the depths of my soul." Qiu Bojun joked.

More than a dozen Jinshan employees laughed, and the atmosphere became active in an instant.

Jinshan Company's office is very large, but it's a pity that there are only a dozen people left, and it is empty, showing a sense of depression.

Lei Jun is the sixth employee to join Jinshan, but he has a strong appeal in the world, and he has attracted a large number of technical backbones when he first joined the company. And these technical backbones, no matter how difficult Jinshan is, none of them left in the first three years, and only a few began to leave last year.

Let's put it this way, at this time, among the dozen or so remaining employees of Jinshan, nearly 70% were brought by Lei Jun himself.

Qiu Bojun doesn't understand anything except technology, business management, and winning people's hearts. If Lei Jun wants to jump back, it is estimated that he can get the support of all employees. It is very rare for them to cooperate for many years without any accident.

Needless to say, Song Weiyang, Qiu Bojun, and Lei Jun came to the office.

Song Weiyang said: "I brought 3.6 million this time, which is the royalties from selling books. For the time being, I can only take out so much for emergency. If there is more, I will sell Xifeng shares."

"Enough, enough," Qiu Bojun said quickly, "Boss Song, please don't touch Xifeng's shares. It's really screwed up, and I can't afford it."

"In a few months, I can use 20 to 30 million yuan to ensure that Jinshan will not fall into a financial crisis." Song Weiyang said.

"That's great." Mr. Qiu said.

Song Weiyang said: "Let's talk about equity distribution. What is Jinshan's situation now?"

Qiu Bojun said: "I and Zhang Xuanlong share half of the shares in Jinshan."

"How much did he invest at that time? What is Jinshan's current valuation?" Song Weiyang asked.

Qiu Bojun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"How could you not know?" Song Weiyang was speechless.

"I really don't understand," Qiu Bojun said. "Back then, the Hong Kong city Jinshan and Founder merged. Lao Zhang was afraid that I would be wronged, so he funded me to form the current Jinshan company alone. He gave me as much as I wanted. Later, Several additional investments have been made one after another. We have never settled the accounts, anyway, each person has half the shares. Now Lao Zhang has given me all the spare money in his own hands. If he makes additional investments, he can only use Founder’s shares. "

It was hard for Song Weiyang to imagine that there was such a partnership in business. The amount of investment is not calculated clearly in advance, and the continuous additional investment does not change the equity, which is completely confused.

What's even more ridiculous is that Qiu Bojun and Zhang Xuanlong did not fall apart until Jinshan successfully raised funds and went public. Instead, they even allocated part of the equity to Lei Jun. Later, Tencent injected capital into the mountain and became the largest shareholder of Jinshan. Zhang Xuanlong and Qiu Bojun immediately granted their voting rights to Lei Jun, making Lei Jun the real helm of Jinshan.

The cooperation between these three people is really amazing. One person only cares about investing money without paying attention to the returns, one person specializes in technology and does not care about the company's management, and the other person completely controls the company without bouncing back.

Zhang Xuanlong is the former boss of Qiu Bojun, who earns tens of millions a year with PS. People in the world call him "the godfather of Zhongguancun".

Qiu Bojun was working with Zhang Xuanlong at the beginning, and he couldn't negotiate a fixed monthly salary. Anyway, Zhang Xuanlong was in charge of renting a house for Qiu Bojun, and providing Qiu Bojun with computers and funds. If he was short of money, he said that he would remit it immediately. In the end, he rewarded Qiu Bojun with a car, a villa and some bonuses.

Song Weiyang has been in business for two lifetimes and has never encountered such a partner. He had a headache and said, "Then how do I distribute the shares when I inject capital?"

Qiu Bojun said: "Lao Zhang is now negotiating business in the United States. I had a phone call with him yesterday and basically reached a consensus. You are responsible for investing in and ensuring that the development of ps97 can go smoothly. No matter how much you invest, you and I, as well as the old man Zhang, each takes 30% of the shares, and the remaining 10% is distributed to Lei Jun. What do you think?"

"Why are you talking about me again?" Lei Jun interjected.

"Both Lao Zhang and I have noticed your contribution to the company, and have long wanted to give you some equity." Qiu Bojun said.

"No, there is no such business." Song Weiyang didn't know how to explain.

Such a company can grow bigger, and can also achieve financing and listing, which is simply wonderful!

Qiu Bojun asked: "Then how do you think we should cooperate?"

"How do you usually manage your finances?" Song Weiyang asked.

"The company has an accountant," Qiu Bojun said.

Song Weiyang was sweating like a waterfall, and said with his hand on his forehead: "Well, I will distribute according to the method you said. I will continue to increase investment until the development of ps97 is successful. The specific amount of investment depends on the situation. However, in the first ps97 developed In two months, the company's financial system must be improved! At that time, I will invite people from Citibank to do asset appraisal, and everything will follow normal procedures from now on. It must also be determined that whoever wants to inject capital in the future must allocate equity according to the actual situation.”

"That's fine. I also want the company to become more formal." Qiu Bojun said.

To be honest, if Song Weiyang wasn't a time traveler, and knew that Jinshan would become big, he wouldn't be able to invest in this company if he was killed. It's too amateurish!

It was the partner, Zhang Xuanlong, who made Song Weiyang very interested. This gentleman is in Zhongguancun like a duck to water, and maintains close relationships with companies such as Lenovo, Stone, and Founder. In the end, he even merged his own company with Founder and sold Founder's products to more than ten countries and regions around the world.

It is impossible for such a person to understand company management. But he just didn't care about anything, it was agreed that one person would get half of the shares, and he would pay Qiu Bojun as much as he wanted, until he used up all the funds he could control.

What is Zhang Xuanlong thinking in his heart?
