Rebirth of the Wild Age

Before Song Weiyang left Beijing, Sohu held a conference call of the board of directors and agreed that Song Weiyang would inject 10 million yuan to increase its shareholding.

Immediately, Gu Yong will start to standardize the company's system and build an administrative and financial team. Zhang Chaoyang let go of this completely, but still grasped the content and operation personally, and Sohu company was on the right track.

Jinshan software company once again fell into financial difficulties. Whether it is office software or games, Jinshan's products are very popular. It's a pity that the market environment is too bad, the pirated version is countless times that of the genuine one, and any product that can barely recover the cost can be considered a good product.

Historically, Jinshan should have run out of money last year. Zhang Xuanlong could only find Mr. Liu, and Lenovo injected 4.5 million US dollars to become a major shareholder of Jinshan.

However, due to Song Weiyang's early investment, the Jinshan in this time and space has been holding on until now.

Zhang Xuanlong didn't bother looking for President Liu anymore, and asked Song Weiyang directly if he would continue to invest money. Searching all over China, except for Song Weiyang, no one would be stupid enough to invest in Jinshan. Lenovo's capital injection in history was not because Mr. Liu was so optimistic about Jinshan, but purely to repay Zhang Xuanlong's previous favor.

Song Weiyang flew directly back to Shenghai, and asked Hong Weiguo to come back by himself in a Hummer. By the way, he gave Hong Weiguo a few days off - Lao Hong's family arranged a blind date for him.

Walking out of the airport, Song Weiyang directly boarded a Santana, which was sent by Shenzhou Technology Company to pick him up.

How much money is missing? Song Weiyang asked on the phone.

Qiu Bojun said: It's hard to say, anyway, there is always a shortage of money, so you can invest as much as you can.

Song Weiyang asked, What's Zhang Xuanlong's opinion?

Qiu Bojun said: It doesn't matter to him, he can give you all the shares in the company, as long as Jinshan can survive.

Kingsoft is indeed living a very difficult life. Last year, Kingsoft PowerWord 3 was launched, and well-known singers and bands were invited to promote it. Only 40,000 sets of software were sold. But the sales of these 40,000 sets have already shocked the industry. It is difficult for other companies to sell more than 10,000 sets of products, and the profits have been made by those pirates.

The domestic general software industry is like a gang of beggars, and Jinshan is the leader of the gang of beggars—all beggars.

Historically, Kingsoft's real turnaround was the launch of Kingsoft PowerWord 2000 in 1999. At that time, the country lowered the value-added tax of software companies from 17% to 3%. Jinshan moved after hearing the news, and the software with the original price of 168 was only sold for 28. Lei Jun led a nationwide promotion for three months, setting off a red legal storm operation, and sold it in one go. 1.1 million sets of software!

It was a classic sales battle in the first half of Lei Jun's life. He seized the opportunity to cut prices crazily, and shouted the slogan of supporting genuine products, which immediately caused a sensation all over the country. When the event was held in the Beijing Book Building, even consumers from Jinmen came to support it by car. The scene was like a star signing, and 210,000 sets were sold in three days, which was equivalent to the annual sales of the previous year. times. At that time, it was out of stock, and there was not enough stock, otherwise we could sell more.

Lei Jun's hunger marketing and cheap routes also started from this battle. Every once in a while, the newspapers say that the software is out of stock. Consumers all over the country are asked to wait patiently. The more they need to wait, the more consumers are willing to buy genuine copies. It even caused some dealers to hoard and not sell the goods, and took the opportunity to quietly increase the price.

The domestic software industry has surprisingly unanimously cursed Lei Jun for this behavior. Originally, everyone’s genuine software couldn’t be sold much, what the hell is your Lei Jun selling at a 40% discount? Disrupt the market!

The spare money in my hand is only more than 10 million. How about investing 12 million? Song Weiyang could only temporarily put the plan of renovating the courtyard house on hold.

Qiu Bojun said: No problem, I will discuss with Zhang Xuanlong and Lei Jun to see how many shares we should give you.

Song Weiyang said comfortingly, Hold on, don't lose heart, it will get better gradually.

Boss Song, thank you, otherwise Jinshan would be ruined, and no one would be willing to invest. Qiu Bojun said with all his heart.

Song Weiyang came up with an idea: Let Xishanju develop online games.

Qiu Bojun said: mud?

Ultima online (Internet Genesis), you know? Song Weiyang said.

I know, it's quite popular abroad, Qiu Bojun said, but I'm afraid China's Internet speed can't afford it, and it can drive players crazy.

Song Weiyang said: China's Internet speed is getting faster every year. Let Xishanju develop the game now. After a year or so, it will be developed. At that time, the domestic Internet speed will be enough.

In fact, in less than a year, Online Genesis (private server) will land in China in half a year, and it will quickly become popular across the country. In more than a year, the 3D online game King of Kings developed by Wanwan will also be launched, becoming the undisputed king of online games back then.

Qiu Bojun was quite suspicious: We have never made online games, can this thing make money?

Try it and you'll know. Song Weiyang laughed.

Qiu Bojun said, I'll have a meeting to discuss it.

...

Back at the house in Wujiaochang, Doudou was doing her summer homework. Seeing Song Weiyang enter the room, she immediately threw away her homework and said excitedly, Uncle, you're finally back. I'm so bored these days. Hurry up and play Warcraft online with me.

Song Weiyang pointed to the homework on the coffee table and said with a smile: I just wanted to praise you for your love of learning, why did you reveal your true colors all of a sudden?

I know how to do these homework, but it's boring to write. Especially Chinese homework, I was asked to copy new words, which were all new words learned last semester. Doudou blamed the teacher, not because she didn't like learning, but because of the teacher The homework assigned is not level.

Song Weiyang asked, Where's your aunt?

At work, their magazine only has ten days off for Chinese New Year, and they won't be able to return to their hometown until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Doudou said suddenly, mysteriously, Yesterday my mother took me to dinner and met an uncle. I found my stepdad.

Song Weiyang said: It's normal for your mother to remarry. She can't live alone all the time. You are also a junior high school student, not a child. You should understand her difficulties.

I just find it quite awkward. Doudou pouted.

Song Weiyang asked, What's your impression of that uncle?

Doudou said: It's okay, barely, I don't like it very much, but I don't hate it too much. He bought me ice cream and toys, and also bought me a lot of clothes. He must be trying to please me.

Song Weiyang said: It means that he treats you well, and he is not a miser.

Doudou said: It's often played in TV dramas, as long as my mother and stepdad have a baby, they won't treat me well. Hmph, I won't be fooled by them!

Haha, you are young, you have a lot of eyes. Song Weiyang laughed.

Doudou suddenly said: Uncle, why don't you come and be my stepfather.

Ahem... Song Weiyang choked on these words, and couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, I'm your uncle!

I just think you're pretty good. Doudou leaned on Song Weiyang's body, her little head was upturned, her eyes were staring at the ceiling, wondering what she was thinking.
