Chapter 144 Values(1/2)
The reason why Liu Qiangdong wants Li Feng to invest is partly because of financial considerations. After all, no one knows whether JD.com will be successful in the future.
Just like when Lei Jun founded Xiaomi, he spent a whole night on the phone to convince Liu Qin of Morningside Capital to invest in him for a few hundred dollars.
If Lei Jun could see the future, he could have spent the mere millions of dollars on his own at that time, just because of this uncertainty.
On the other hand, there is the consideration of resources. Li Feng’s Fengrui is already one of the top Internet companies in China. JD.com wants to enter the Internet.
It couldn't be better to have a cornerstone investor like Fengrui as the backer. The most important thing is that Liu Qiangdong doesn't know other Internet tycoons, so he can only talk to Li Feng.
Faced with Liu Qiangdong’s good investment conditions, Li Feng also knew what Liu Qiangdong meant, but Li Feng also knew that once JD.com becomes bigger, even if Liu Qiangdong has other ideas, there is no guarantee that JD.com will
Others have ideas,
The hustle and bustle in the world is all for the benefit of the future; the bustle of the world is all for the benefit of the future.
Unless JD.com has always been just a small company, or Li Feng himself plays the game, something like this will happen sooner or later, and the equal distribution of shares is the most rubbish model among entrepreneurial models.
People should not be too greedy. Fengrui’s DNA is not e-commerce, but e-commerce is only part of Li Feng’s business territory. Moreover, he has also taken down the most important e-commerce company, Alipay.
Therefore, Li Feng said to Liu Qiangdong: "Lao Liu, thank you for trusting me so much, but I can't take advantage of you like this. Otherwise,
I will personally invest 10 million, of which 5 million will be regarded as my investment and I will be given 20% of the shares. As for the remaining 5 million, I will treat it as a free loan to you, and it will not be too late for you to pay me back in two years.
"
After listening to Li Feng's words, Liu Qiangdong knew that he had chosen the wrong person. In fact, Liu Qiangdong did not know anything. After all, before founding "Jingdong Multimedia", Liu Qiangdong also worked in Japanese companies, and he also worked in
Arrived at the supervisor.
Liu Qiangdong said: "If you don't want to take advantage of me, then I can't take advantage of you. If you feel it's inappropriate and don't want to take a large share, let's do this, 40% of the shares."
Li Feng almost spat out the tea in his mouth. If Liu Qiangdong knew that JD.com’s market value would be as high as 50.06 trillion US dollars in the future,
Every point discussed by the two now is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the future, and Li Feng also believes that with his investment, JD.com’s achievements in the future will only be higher than in the previous life.
Faced with such temptation, Li Feng still refused: "Lao Liu, you are wrong again. You are taking advantage of me now, but I will still take advantage of you in the future. After all, I will still take advantage.
So you’d better not put it off, and since you’ve helped me before, just treat it like I’m paying you back, and, in my opinion, you are worth 100 million.”
Liu Qiangdong thought for a while and said: "Then I can't let you suffer, brother, and you think so highly of me! How about 30% of the shares and the rest of the money as I lend you."
Li Feng said: "It's still a bit high, 20% is just right, and it will also be conducive to future financing. But now I am not even busy with Fengrui, and I don't have time to be busy with JD.com. I can at most give you some suggestions."
Liu Qiangdong emphasized: "This is not okay, 30% is 30%, brothers, if you say it again, then I can only slap my butt and leave."
To this, Li Feng could only reply: "Well, since you said so, I just hope you won't regret it in the future. Jingdong will still be worth tens of billions in the future!"
Liu Qiangdong laughed and said: "I don't regret it. Even if it's worth tens of billions of dollars in the future, it's still a matter of the future. It has nothing to do with what we are talking about now, and I am very satisfied if you can join me."
Now that we brothers have reached an agreement, I will go back and prepare relevant materials so that we can formally finalize the contract."
After saying that, Liu Qiangdong put down his tea cup and was about to leave in a hurry.
But Li Feng grabbed Liu Qiangdong and said, "What are you busy with? Let's stay for a light meal at noon. We brothers haven't had dinner together yet, and I heard that you drink a lot. I'll find a few for you at noon."
Brother, stay with you well."
Liu Qiangdong’s drinking capacity can be said to be the largest among Internet tycoons in China, and he is already famous at the drinking table. His bold statement, “What can I do if I don’t even know how to drink?” has made many Internet men start.
Exercise your belly.
Liu Qiangdong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Let's get down to business first. When JD.com is on the right track, it won't be too late to celebrate."
The final result of the contract was that Li Feng invested 5 million yuan in his own name, accounting for 30% of the shares, and borrowed 5 million yuan without interest.
After Li Feng sent Liu Qiangdong away, Cheng Lan came "late" and saw Li Feng sitting alone on a chair in front of the window drinking tea and being in a daze.
Cheng Lan whispered: "Boss, I have fired that front desk clerk."
Cheng Lan didn't know why she was so cautious. She could only say that it was because Li Feng's achievements were getting bigger and bigger, and he felt like he was in a superior position, and it was also because he himself had done something wrong.
But Li Feng didn't respond, as if he didn't see Cheng Lan at all, and was just drinking by himself.
After a while, Li Feng said slowly: "When Fengrui was established, it was January 2, 2002. I still remember clearly that it was the second day of New Year's Day, and there were only 7 people at that time.
Later, when you went to South Korea to represent "Miracle", it was our first contact. At that time, you were still the legal consultant of PwC Yanjing Office, and you could speak English, Korean, Japanese and other six languages.
I was surprised at your professional ability, so when Ruifeng got rich, I immediately ordered Dong Li to invite you to join.
Later, you and Xu Jiawei almost came in together, and Xu Jiawei climbed the mountain step by step.
After you officially join Fengrui, I will let you serve as CAO (Chief Administrative Officer), in charge of administration, human resources, and legal areas.
Of course, you did a good job and arranged many things in a tight and orderly manner. This also proves my vision.
And our Fengrui is developing faster and faster, and the number of people is increasing. Now we have more than 800 people. Don’t mention their names. Some of them I have never seen before.
Although Fengrui is developing faster and faster, there are some things that have not kept up. This is just something I bumped into. There must be mistakes that I don’t know about, and even everyone doesn’t know.
Of course, this is not all your fault. This rushing development model has already planted hidden dangers. The internal system improvement cannot keep up with the scale expansion, just like the soul cannot keep up with the pace.
Therefore, you should put a lot of effort into personnel training, especially establishing correct values. Fengrui is not a company that only knows how to make money, but a company with values and a sense of responsibility.
If a person is not capable enough, I can give you the opportunity to learn and practice; but if a person has problems with his values, no matter who he is, he should give me a cure first and then talk about it.
Cheng Lan, I have said so much, do you understand? We cannot stop being sharp now, we will only go further and further, and we must keep up with the pace in other aspects."
Cheng Lan has also witnessed the growth of Fengrui step by step. She is also a veteran of Fengrui and a co-founder recognized by Li Feng.
Cheng Lan said forcefully: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations. Since you value me so much, you must straighten out our sharp internal management."
Li Feng said: "Well, you would like Zhiping to give you a report. He is also an expert in this area and I believe he can give you a lot of experience.
There are various reasons for employees to leave their jobs, but only two are the most real: one is the money, not being paid enough; the other is the heart, because they feel wronged. These boil down to one thing: they are not happy at work.
The employee tries his best to find a reliable excuse before leaving because he wants to save face for you and doesn't want to tell you how bad your management is. He is extremely disappointed in you.
Our Fengrui’s work remuneration is considered to be the best in the industry. Now that we have paid enough, let’s make our employees feel more comfortable.
So how to make employees feel happy? This requires giving them a space for improvement. As long as they have the ability, everyone can take charge of projects and serve as senior executives.
You can develop an employee training plan to help our employees grow, and I hope that in the future, our company's internal executives will be the result of our internal training.
Even more, I hope that everyone in our company is an elite, even if they are just a front desk person, they can still have room for improvement.
Therefore, Cheng Lan, your task is still ‘a long way to go’.”
Everyone can become a talent. Tong Wenhong, one of the most famous "front desk girls" in China, entered Alibaba in 2000 and became the front desk.
After that, he successively managed the group's administration, customer service, human resources and other departments. Now he is the senior vice president of Alibaba Group and the chairman of Cainiao Network.
Faced with such an arduous task for Li Feng, Cheng Lan also promised: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do a good job. I will go back and make a plan now."
Just when Cheng Lan was about to turn around and go out, Li Feng stopped Cheng Lan again and asked: "By the way, the computer animation company I asked you to find last time produced 10 short films for YY. Has it been completed?"
When talking about the YY short film, Cheng Lan also rarely "joked" with Li Feng and said: "It's finished and has been handed over to Wang Xing. Boss, what are you thinking? Everyone has watched it and they all like it so much. I really like it."
It's so cute, so mean and cute at the same time,
By the way, boss, what do you think about us making some YY dolls to sell? I believe many people will like them, not to mention children, adults will also like them."
Li Feng said: "This is not bad, it is a good suggestion. If you didn't remind me, I almost forgot it. However, our YY dolls will only be given away and not sold in the future."
We also do not authorize other manufacturers to produce and sell, and only give them to our partners, or give them as gifts to our customers or members. We don't care about the money, and we must give them meticulous enjoyment.
Well, if you just find a company that specializes in production and design, we will hand over all our peripheral products to it in the future, well, it is best to buy one to ensure the quality."
In this regard, what could Cheng Lan say? Other than "Boss, you are so talented!" What else can she say? I can only admire the boss's long-term vision and domineering approach, and he always makes acquisitions.
Not long after Cheng Lan left, Long Xiaotian came in in a panic and said directly to Li Feng: "Boss, it's bad, there are many private servers on the market all of a sudden, and they can't be blocked no matter how hard they are, and the game patches don't care.
used,
There are even many people who publicly promote the private server in "Miracle MU". Now many players have gone to play the private server. These players have been banned by me.
But now the number of people online in "Miracle MU" has dropped to 990,000, and there are still many Miracle players who don't know about it and haven't attracted large-scale attention. Once it spreads, the consequences..."
It’s no wonder that Long Xiaotian is anxious. This is the first time that “Miracle MU” has dropped below one million people online since it exceeded one million.
Li Feng asked: "Why didn't you sue them? Didn't I say that once you discover the private server, don't say anything and take them to court?"
Although it is not easy to obtain evidence in private servers and it is not easy to punish, a one-chapter complaint can still act as a deterrent.
Long Xiaotian said: "Brother Li, they are all overseas servers, and there are more than ten of them. We can't even file a lawsuit. The specific location cannot be found yet. They are doing it very covertly."
"Overseas?!" Li Feng thought for a while and said helplessly: "Overseas, this is difficult to deal with. It seems that someone is really trying to deal with us, and it is a specialized team.
I guess it's Shengda, and Shengda is more likely to do so. Has his "World of Miracles" been put into open beta?"
Long Xiaotian said: "Well, it has been in open beta for a while. Will it be officially open on September 1st? We are planning to start charging officially on October 1st."
Finally, Long Xiaotian suggested: "Brother Li, how about we launch a new version of "Miracle MU" now, otherwise once everyone goes to play on the private server, it will not be easy to attract them again."
The new version of "Miracle MU" is Sharp's trump card. Li Feng asked Long Xiaotian to add a "mount system" and a "pet system" here, but they are just decorations and do not have combat functions. This is also what Li Feng
It is based on future online games and will not affect the balance of "Miracle MU".
Li Feng knocked on the table with his hand, took a sip of tea, and said to Long Xiaotian: "Let's do this, launch the 'mount system' first, and then launch the 'pet system'. It will be updated every 10 days, so that players can
Looking forward to it.”
At the end, Li Feng sighed a little and said: "I thought I could hold on until November. It was officially launched in December. I didn't expect it to be updated now. It's been such an eventful year. It seems that the time for "Miracle MU" is running out.
