Investment Life

"How much did you spend?" Looking at the calm young man in front of him, Meng Lisheng couldn't help asking again.

"3% equity, diluting my share." Chen Yuanming picked up the teacup in hand and took a sip. Now the grade of tea in Chairman Feiyan's office has also been upgraded by several levels, and the tea tastes delicious.

"Just for an advertisement plan? Did that kid drug you?" Meng Lisheng couldn't help but slapped the table, "Yuanming, you really..."

"What are you in a hurry for?" Professor Yan who was sitting on the side stretched out his hand to stop his friend, and stuffed the materials he had read just now, "Let's look at this plan first, and I heard from Yuanming that this is still the first draft? It's really amazing... "

"It's just a plan. There's nothing to make a fuss about..." Meng Lisheng muttered as he opened the book and read it according to the outline. Unexpectedly, it was nailed there at a glance, and his eyes hardly blinked. Turning down and down, I was stunned for half an hour without making a sound.

After a long time, he finally looked away, and looked at Chen Yuanming in astonishment, "Did he write this stuff? All of them?"

"Yeah, it only took 4 days." Chen Yuanming replied unhurriedly, and threw out another weight by the way, "And this thing is only worth 1 million first drafts, and the 3% equity version is still being written. Woolen cloth."

Meng Lisheng was almost at a loss for words. He wrote it to this extent, and it was only worth 1 million? !If this idea can be successfully realized, it is inevitable for Feiyan to become bigger in China. There is no need to worry about VCD discs at all. !

"I'm also very curious." Professor Yan pushed his glasses, "You've already achieved this level of planning, what else can you be dissatisfied with? Where did your 3% go?"

"From China to the world." Chen Yuanming smiled, "Don't forget the Silicon Valley Laboratory. When MPEG-2 is officially established and the next generation of optical discs is born, this business will not be limited to the mainland."

"It's so bold." Yan Qiaosen laughed dumbly, "When you told me to expand the laboratory, you wanted to enter Hollywood?"

"Since Philips and Sony can make a 'red book', why can't we participate in making a white paper?"

The so-called "Red Book" refers to the specification document of music CD, which defines the CD standards of all music forms, and is also the rule that must be followed when entering the CD disc manufacturing industry.Starting from CD discs, all disc standards are dominated by several major companies, initially Philips and Sony, and later expanded to Pioneer, forming the 3C giants in the CD industry.Then there is the DVD standard 6C group of Hitachi, Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Time Warner, Toshiba, and JVC Alliance, plus Dolby, DTS, and MPEG-LA, etc., and the stacked standard patents are stuck like shackles. The lifeblood of China's DVD industry has made it difficult for this behemoth to be reduced to a meal on the plate of interest groups.

But now?If you want to formulate the VCD standard, Feiyan will become an unavoidable existence. With the VCD standard, MPEG format and CSS algorithm, no one can easily abandon them and act alone.But these alone are not enough. Compared with those international giants, Feiyan's body is too fragile, and it is impossible to resist their combined impact. Therefore, it is necessary to condense an equally considerable interest group to intervene in the next DVD standard in this capacity. battle.

There are no fools here, Meng Lisheng rubbed his chin, "It's not impossible to formulate some kind of white paper, but if we really follow this way of thinking, won't our Feiyan family be too lonely?"

"We may not only need optical disc manufacturers, but also film companies. Do we also need manufacturers of equal weight? Just like Philips and Sony, they enter the same field, but they are cooperative alliances. This kind of benign Competition is beneficial to the development of the industry." Yan Qiaosen also figured out some ways, and said thoughtfully.

Chen Yuanming was really relieved this time. Yes, if they want to truly develop and grow, only Feiyan, a VCD player factory, is not enough. What they need is a stronger alliance, one or even several companies sharing patent rights. ally.However, Feiyan is not his own after all. If he wants to pass this idea, he must convince the two partners in front of him.Adding allies means giving up the two extremely attractive baits of dominance and monopoly, and the gains and losses of the benefits are enough to make people entangled.

Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, the two of them had grasped the key question and raised it on their own initiative.Chen Yuanming couldn't help but feel sincerely grateful again. Although these two don't have enough business talents, their minds and courage are still admirable. Why don't they need great wisdom and courage if they dare to be the first in the world?

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Chen Yuanming shook his head with a smile, "That's the truth, but we don't necessarily have to act right away. Let's wait for the VCD to be released first. Various characters will definitely appear at that time, and then we can think about it later." Just fine."

Meng Lisheng and Yan Qiaosen said this with a wry smile, yes, even if there is a patent right, even if there is an alliance of interests, in this land of China, there are more than one or two crazy bees and butterflies who will be attracted by the huge cake in front of them ?But now that the ally plan is confirmed, future problems will become easier.Those who are strong and capable can naturally be supported as allies.And those low-end counterfeiters who have no strength and no ability, just work together to suppress them.

"You guys who are engaged in business are always doing one thing after another." Meng Lisheng sighed, he was really convinced in this regard, he has a specialization in art, and some things can't be solved by his hard work.

"However, Lao Meng, are we looking for the right person this time?" Professor Yan smiled. After all, he was born in Silicon Valley, and he has long been accustomed to the difference in technical and management abilities. Talent, finding a talented person is not enough.

Hearing his partner's mention, Meng Lisheng also smiled, "Yeah, Yuanming, you gave us a surprise attack, why should we pay you back, right? During this time, Lao Yan and I have also taken a fancy to a partner, and we are Actively negotiate with him, in order to attract people, we are going to use the 10% vacant shares, which can be regarded as allowing him to invest in technology and directly participate in management."

Chen Yuanming raised his eyebrows, "Good guy, use up 10% in one breath? What kind of god is it, with such a big background."

Meng Lisheng chuckled, "Have you heard of the working emperor? It is Yu Yongan, the current contractor of the learning machine."

What... Even though Chen Yuanming had made enough preparations, he couldn't help being stunned by the news. Who did they find?

Seeing Chen Yuanming's rare stupefied look, Meng Li angrily picked up the half-cold tea at hand, and took a sip happily, "Unexpected, right? It's all thanks to your clever plan. Feiyan has just started a business. I didn't have a clue about everything, Lao Yan and I just figured out such a candidate. As a result, after negotiating, he was very interested, and he was full of praise for Feiyan's current preparations. This person is a serious radio student from Zhejiang University, and he needs technology. If you have technology, you need to have ideas, and you have a very mature team under you, which is definitely a great help!"

Chen Yuanming simply didn't know what to say...Yu Yongping, isn't that just an instant hit with Meng Lisheng? !In his previous life, this person resolutely left the learning machine company and started his own electronics company. At the beginning, he started his business with landlines and cordless phones. The "Hello? Xiaoli~~" advertisement is simply a masterpiece in the industry.What is even more amazing is that he later broke into the VCD manufacturing industry, which has become a chaotic battlefield. After ten years, he built the top three DVD brands in China in that magnificent player empire.This person's accurate vision and strong ability can be called a model of Chinese entrepreneurs.

Who would have expected that Meng Lisheng would actually want to abduct him into the boat now, this is really...

Seeing Chen Yuanming's weird expression, Professor Yan couldn't help interjecting, "Mr. Yu's ability is really outstanding, don't worry about the source of learning machines all day long, he can turn a company from a few million in debt to The annual output value is 10 billion, and the wrist cannot be said to be weak. There are many system problems in the learning machine, and he has long since thought of quitting. This time, we didn't even spend much money to convince him. It is still Feiyan's joint-stock system and industry. The prospect attracted him. The opportunity is rare and cannot be passed lightly."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuanming showed a wry smile, "How could I be willing to abandon such a big Buddha. It's just that he has no other conditions except for 10% of the shares?"

"This..." Meng Lisheng rubbed his nose, "Not without it. It's mainly on the management level, such as suggesting us founders release shares, retain those technical elites, and clarify the CEO's annual salary and profit sharing system What, it's not good for the two of us to decide this kind of thing alone, it's better to discuss it with you, the big boss."

Ha, Chen Yuanming sighed softly in his heart, with a different focus, what he saw was really different.Of course, for a successful company, it is impossible to hold all the shares in the hands of a few big bosses. How to distribute the benefits so that all elite teams can integrate into the company and work for the company as a single rope is the key to long-term survival and competitiveness.In today's China, there are only a handful of people who can see this, and the addition of this person is simply a powerful support with wings added.

Smiling, Chen Yuanming finally gathered his mind, and replied calmly, "This issue should naturally be on the agenda, but it is related to the development of Feiyan, and there must be a proper charter. Go back and contact Mr. Yu, we might as well sit down Come down and talk slowly."

The matter was settled in this way, and the development of the entire Feiyan company was divided into three parts. On the one hand, the planning team led by Lin Xuewen re-planned the company's development route based on various materials, and finalized the public relations, advertising, Sales, cooperation and other lines; on the one hand, the construction team led by Meng Lisheng and Yan Qiaosen applied for the patent right of VCD player, built the factory building, and continued to lead the research and development of MPEG format; on the other hand, the management was coordinated by Chen Yuanming The team began to recruit talents, and carried out drastic reforms to the corporate system...

The three fronts went hand in hand, and there was never enough time. It was not until the end of August that the basic matters were finalized.Yu Yongan officially left the learning machine company and brought his core elite into Feiyan.Meng Lisheng and Yan Qiaosen stepped down from their management functions one after another, focusing on the research and development of new products, while Yu Yongan started management operations based on Lin Xuewen's newly perfected plan.

Contrary to what he imagined, Yu Yong'an didn't look like an elite, but round-headed and round-headed, with a simple and honest temperament.But as soon as you get in touch with him, you can find that he really has Jinxiu in his heart. Not only is his concept advanced, but his acceptance and sensitivity to new things are also amazing.After receiving Lin Xuewen's newly formulated plan, Yu Yong'an nestled in the office and studied for three days, and three days later, he called Lin Xuewen brothers and sisters, and his admiration was beyond words.

Lin Xuewen can be regarded as the youngest member of the team except Chen Yuanming. He has always shown his sharpness and his eyes are above the top.After being entangled by Yu Yongan, an old senior, he gradually became a bit more human. The cooperation between the two teams can be called a chemical reaction, and it is still the fast-burning type. .

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yuanming didn't waste any time, and went directly to Shenzhen for a tour. Through SEG's sales network, he found the best-known floppy disk manufacturer at that time. He was a Zhejiang businessman named Du Xuan, and he had three floppy disks under his command. The production line started from scratch by making carton outer packaging.Unlike others who focused on reducing costs and blindly expanding production lines, Du Xuan built a small research team to explore the improvement of floppy disks by himself, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the fiercely competitive Huaqiangbei.

However, limited by the size of the funds, his company lacked real competitiveness in its development. Although the floppy disk had a good reputation, the output had remained at the level and had not improved significantly.With the increasingly fierce competition in the floppy disk industry, he has been thinking of finding another way out in the past two years.

When encountering such an operator with a good attitude, Chen Yuanming is of course willing to give him the opportunity to try.After some discussions, Chen Yuanming finally invested 300 million yuan, and Du Xuan provided manpower and management team to build a joint venture CD factory.The factory is located in Shantou, and the technical research and development is supported by a recently acquired Silicon Valley optical disc research laboratory, of which Chen Yuanming holds 70% of the shares.

Nowadays, the CD industry is not very popular in China. After all, the CD record industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan is developing rapidly, and the demand for CDs is also gradually increasing. However, CD drives have not yet become popular in China, and CDs are still dominated by CDs.And VCD is simply a video CD, which is no different from ordinary CD discs in terms of media, so it can be put into production very quickly.As for disc upgrades and innovations, they cannot be completed overnight.

After confirming that the optical disc factory can be put into production quickly and the product quality is guaranteed, Chen Yuanming finally breathed a sigh of relief and set his sights on the city just across the river from Shenzhen: Hong Kong.
