1991 Starting from the core

In a certain period of time in later generations, the game industry market was the most undervalued market. But in fact, it is games, or online games, that pull the entire Internet out of the cold winter.

In 2001, all major websites, including portals, were wailing, and only online games suddenly emerged. The Internet winter seemed to be a tulip effect, but in fact it was essentially a concept related to Internet companies at that time, especially the concept of profitability that did not meet expectations.

But games are different. They are born as a consumer product and are destined for players' wallets.

But as a consumer product, it is naturally subject to controversy. What electronic heroin, what wants to destroy XXX, etc... so much so that its cultural output and communication attributes are ignored. (Actually, I am quite familiar with the online game industry. After all, I wrote novels about games, and I also got involved in a group of big game operation guys, and got a lot of help from them.)

Now that I have fanned my butterfly wings to this, there is no problem in promoting the domestic game industry - in future generations, this will be a market worth over 100 billion US dollars, almost one-third the size of the semiconductor industry.

And today's Niguo game market is far less closed than in later generations. It can be said that taking the PS bus is the only opportunity to join the Niguo game industry.

If you don't take action, you'll have no chance.

In the same way, the west side is also in the period of the rise of PC games. If we don't work hard now, we will only wait to eat pickles in the future.

So...Su Yuanshan doesn't care whether it is acclimatized or not.

How will you know if you don’t try?

…

Kutaragi Ken looked at Su Yuanshan and fell into thought.

He has a habit of conducting careful analysis after contact, whether he is an opponent or a partner. As for the analysis of Yuanxin, it is not only done by Sony, but in fact all companies related to semiconductors and software are doing it.

Without it, the far core would go too smoothly.

Or to put it more bluntly, Su Yuanshan's vision is too accurate.

In the Fields Cafe in Silicon Valley, Su Yuanshan bought a cordless phone for $100,000, which has become a legend in the investment community.

Therefore, Kutaragi Ken attaches great importance to Su Yuanshan's suggestions, although in his opinion, apart from Yuanxin, there are only a few game companies and even software companies in the mainland.

"Mr. Jiuda, please don't be angry if I tell you. Although it seems that game companies are currently in your country and the west. But in my opinion, the long history and so-called experience of these game manufacturers may in some sense become a hindrance to their progress.”

"Oh? Why?" Kutaragi Ken asked curiously.

Su Yuanshan said with a smile: "PlayStation is positioned as an epoch-making game console. It is like a set of brushes we provide developers. In the hands of manufacturers who are used to eight-bit machines in the past, no one can tell what they will draw. Come. For manufacturers that are just starting to get involved, they don’t have this mindset...perhaps they can bring us more surprises."

"Mindset..." Kutaragi Ken tasted the word carefully, and then nodded: "Yes, we just need to surprise the players."

Su Yuanshan smiled: "So, I personally suggest paying more attention to mainland game manufacturers."

"Are there any game manufacturers in the mainland now?" Kutaragi asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course there is. You will know after a few months."

…

After sending Kutaragi Ken away, Su Yuanshan thought for a long time and decided to bypass the Software Industry Association.

The Domestic Software Industry Association was established 8 years ago, but after its establishment, it was of no use at all - it did not promote the domestic software industry in the slightest, and it did not even hold gatherings. It was just for the purpose of establishment. And such an organization is not even as good as a company's labor union - the labor union even distributes apples during the holidays.

For example, this software exhibition held in the provincial capital was originally supposed to be an opportunity for the software industry association to steal the show, but so far it has not farted.

Su Yuanshan compared the list of software exhibitions and sent invitation emails to more than thirty pure "individual companies" among them.

Immediately afterwards, he wrote a report to the Department of Science and Technology, putting forward some suggestions from the perspective of a practitioner regarding the current preferential policies issued by the provincial government for software companies to settle in the provincial capital.

After reading it several times, Su Yuanshan deleted the planning suggestions for the High-tech Zone Industrial Park.

These reports are all forwarded by Principal Zhou Zhenzhong, and Principal Zhou will read and understand them carefully every time, and at the same time expand on his own ideas and suggestions.

Therefore, Su Yuanshan's report does not need to be written in such detail. The leader must always be given room to play.

…

The hottest month is finally over.

EDA finally successfully "sold" it.

Thanks to its monopoly market position and the development trend of the semiconductor industry, as well as the fact that general CAD quickly won the market by combining it with EDA's PCB design functions as soon as it was launched, EDA was directly valued at US$8 billion.

To be honest, Su Yuanshan was actually not satisfied - because Cheng Kai, one of three people in the world in later generations, has a market value of tens of billions. Not to mention that YXEDA, which now firmly occupies more than six levels of the market, also has a CAD.

But since we are recruiting people to invest money, we have to give in and let people have expectations of appreciation...

Yuanxin sold nearly 80% of its shares in total, successfully changing from a major shareholder to a minority shareholder. At the same time, the newly formed board members unanimously decided to entrust voting rights to the founder team.

These companies include AMD, UMC, Siemens, Sony, NEC, MOTO, Texas Instruments... Unfortunately, there are no IBM and Intel.

At this point, apart from the ongoing cooperation projects, Yuanxin and Zhiyuan EDA no longer have any actual business contact, and they are unable to "substantively" intervene in Zhiyuan EDA.

After selling EDA, the long-awaited equity adjustment of Yuanxin was finally put on the table by Su Yuanshan.

After considering countless options, Su Yuanshan decided to adopt the method used by his old club back then and now - virtual shares.

The biggest advantage of this method is that employees’ money can be transferred back into their hands. It is a very strong financing method when external funding sources are unavailable. Even if Yuanxin is not short of money now, there is no guarantee that it will not be short of money in the future, so it is always right to prepare for a rainy day.

But the disadvantages are obvious. This thing is still in the legal void at present, and if you are not careful, you will be tainted with illegal fund-raising.

When my old club did this, they were sued by our colleague Zhongxing next door.

At that time, my old boss was so frightened that he thought he would be imprisoned. It was not until the big leader personally issued a special statement later that he escaped.

But now Yuanxin is not afraid of being sued.

Of course, even if you are no longer afraid, the report still has to be written and the pros and cons of issuing virtual shares must be elaborated.

…

"...The specific plan is to establish Yuanxin Investment and become the complete controlling shareholder of Yuanxin. The initial stock pool will allocate stocks to various veterans and senior executives, and then release the trading pool for old employees with more than one year to purchase, and Dividends are distributed every year..."

At the home of Electronic Technology, Su Yuanshan slowly and carefully explained the structure to his father and uncle.

Su Xinghe nodded, glanced at Zhang Ke again, and smiled: "What about the initial equity?"

Su Yuanshan blinked: "You two will step aside."

Zhang Ke burst out laughing: "You kid."

Su Yuanshan spread his hands: "No way, Yuanxin's business is very good. Other companies first engaged in angel investment, and then ABCDE completed several rounds of financing. It would be good if the founders can account for 10%. Now Yuanxin has developed into a giant, you two The company’s shares have not moved as fast as a mountain. This is very unscientific and is not conducive to the future development of Yuanxin.”

"Why do people work so hard to follow us? Not just for listing, for options, and for financial freedom once and for all - you see, the EDA department was just separated out, and even before it was listed, it has created so many future multi-millionaires. You guys Don’t you think everyone is jealous?”

Su Xinghe just smiled, and he said meaningfully: "Anyway, what I have is yours, whatever you say is yours."

Uncle Zhang Ke looked straight at Su Yuanshan, and then smiled and said, "Xiaoshan, it's been two and a half years since you called me to get in the car, right?"

"Well, I remember asking my uncle if he wanted to bet."

"Yeah, you said the valuation increased tenfold...that's 200 million. How much is it now?"

Su Yuanshan thought for a while: "If you include the EDA that was just separated, it is estimated to be more than 20 billion. If you include Xinghai, it will be much more, at least 30 to 40 billion - oh, what I'm talking about is Beautiful knife.”

"That's 200 billion, two years, 20,000 times! And it's still not listed on the market. If it is listed, it can double several times." Zhang Ke shook his head with a smile and sighed: "This thing sounds like a number now."

"Yes, that's a number." Su Yuanshan stared at his uncle with a smile: "I heard that my uncle just bought a Rolls-Royce?"

"I want to be more vulgar..." Zhang Ke laughed, but then he restrained himself and said meaningfully: "But no matter how vulgar I am, I'm not stupid."

The uncle said, staring at Su Yuanshan, and smiled slowly: "I said the same thing as your father, you just have to arrange it. You don't want to hit me and your father by beating up the local tyrants."

"good!"

Su Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief.

To be fair, Yuanxin has only been established for less than three years, so there is no need to be so anxious to adjust its shares. But as he said, Yuanxin has become a giant, and the founder is still a small boss... That is really unscientific.

In order to avoid bloody drama in the future, Su Yuanshan must make it clear to his uncle first.

If my uncle is really reluctant to part with the money, he will really feel bad and continue to divest the business.

As the actual controller of Yuanxin, Su Yuanshan has 10,000 ways to bypass his uncle to dismember and reorganize Yuanxin - but this is not what he wants, because even if he starts up Xinghai all over again, he will still hold his uncle's hand.

As a human being, you should pay attention to repaying kindness. My uncle's three million is the foundation of Yuanxin. No matter what kind of glory Yuanxin achieves, my uncle will definitely have a share.

"Under the Yuanxin structure, all founders' shares will be slowly diluted, thus benefiting all employees. Now we only have a few thousand people, but in the future there will be tens of thousands, 100,000, or even millions..."

"As for money, my uncle will arrange several listed companies for you in a few years."

Zhang Ke smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

(Start to pay back the debt...)
