Chapter 82 9
Chapter 82 Ninth Middle School
Lightning Technology was not difficult to sell, but the result was not what Xu Mingyuan expected.
Most companies value the revenue from selling plug-ins rather than Xu Mingyuan’s promotion philosophy.
If a person thinks that a promotion idea is not working, Xu Mingyuan can think that he is smart and others are stupid.
But when most people think that a promotional concept is not good, it must be that there is something wrong with them.
It's not entirely wrong to focus on immediate interests.
Xu Mingyuan thought for a long time and found that he was the one who fell into the misunderstanding.
The reason why Xu Mingyuan has a long-term vision is that he is clear about the future development direction and has too many cases for him to use as reference.
This is equivalent to a top student taking an open-book test and a poor student doing a cloze test blindly. The gap is not even on the same level.
According to Xu Mingyuan, Lightning Technology can promote a game at an extremely fast speed, which is its biggest advantage at present.
At this time, players’ threshold for happiness is very low, and they can play any game for a long time without worrying about sales.
Although it seems easy to form a promotion team, time is money. Those who come first get the meat, while those who come later may not even get the soup.
However, between using a set of concepts to paint a rosy picture for people and Lightning Technology directly presenting sales proof, smart people will often choose the more reliable solution.
In this era, you must first bring yourself to the same level as them before you can understand their thoughts.
After Xu Mingyuan finally figured it out, he felt quite helpless.
It turns out that the master is as lonely as snow...
Xu Mingyuan has already made up his mind that in the future he must have full control over his company. This will prevent some shareholders who think they are smart but have different ideas from hindering his work.
Xu Mingyuan, who thought he could sell it at a high price, finally only gave a valuation of less than 20 million. After deducting the shares given to Cheng Liang and Wang Jun, the final figure was only more than 13 million.
If it is a legitimate industry, let alone 20 million, with such good cash flow, even if it increases by more than ten times, there will be a lot of people scrambling for it.
But all those who are interested know that although the sale of plug-ins is not regulated now, it will definitely be regulated in the future.
Therefore, the acquirer is purely gambling, betting that nothing will happen in the next six months and that it will start to make a net profit after six months. As for how much profit it can make, it depends on how much energy the game company has to improve the law as soon as possible.
As one of the partners, Cheng Liang and Wang Jun naturally could not understand Xu Mingyuan's approach.
Xu Mingyuan also understood their thoughts. Not everyone was like him, who could give up everything and leave in the face of high daily sales.
Xu Mingyuan gave them 15% employee shares each, which only allowed them to participate in dividends, but when he left, he still converted them into dry shares.
Xu Mingyuan had done his utmost to be kind and just; even if he took everything away, there was nothing they could do.
As for whether these two people would listen to the advice and withdraw as soon as possible, that was not something Xu Mingyuan should consider.
Some people sighed about Xu Mingyuan's departure from Lightning Technology, but more were excited.
The new boss showed a more radical attitude and issued two orders.
Expand vigorously and make money as quickly as possible.
If you want to die, stay away from me.
After hastily signing the agreement, Xu Mingyuan took away Li Yunfeng, along with the financial lady Li Xiuying, who was in her forties, and a young man named Wang Rui.
Wang Rui came here voluntarily. He is just a clerk who runs errands and does spreadsheets in the company, but he is full of passion.
Xu Mingyuan observed him for two days and felt that he had a good mentality, so he took him away.
Li Yunfeng brought two people with him, one was a good employee he employed as a sales manager, and the other was his younger cousin who was in his early twenties.
This was also instructed by Xu Mingyuan. A small team would be temporarily formed first and then expanded later.
By the way, parent and subsidiary companies were registered in Nanxi and Jiangcheng. Yuanhang Holdings under the name of Xu Mingyuan fully controlled the sailing industry registered under the name of Li Yunfeng.
At present, Xu Mingyuan does not have the energy to make things too complicated, and in the future he will still avoid risks through cross-holdings.
Most people in Nanxi City go about their daily lives as usual, with an ordinary life.
But for the major companies in Nanxi, an earthquake began before the New Year and has not ended yet.
Ordinary people got some inside information from various rumors, which became topics of conversation after dinner.
Xu Mingyuan would chat about these things with the taxi drivers every day, speculating on the current situation of Xiangli Group from some insignificant little things.
Occasionally, someone in school would mention that handsome and conceited student, but when they saw him suddenly disappear from their sight, or heard about the recent misfortunes that had befallen his family, they would exchange some words of praise or criticism about him, and then forget about him again.
This was Xu Mingyuan's only source of information. After all, he couldn't ask Tao Shuxin's father for such a small matter. He had originally planned to wait until the college entrance examination was over and he had more free time to deal with the acquisition.
But plans cannot keep up with the speed of change, and the speed of action of major companies exceeded Xu Mingyuan's expectations.
At this time, many companies were fighting on the table for profits. Xu Mingyuan didn't even have a chance to watch. At best, he could stand outside the door and eavesdrop on the sounds inside the house.
Being caught with some small handle by Tao Changming was not a bad thing, so Xu Mingyuan took Li Yunfeng to meet him in private.
He requested that his team bring Li Yunfeng and others with them when they approached Chen Xiangli to discuss the acquisition, to help gain some momentum.
Xu Mingyuan also expressed his true thoughts, which was to acquire Junxing Electronics Company.
Tao Changming had never heard of this name before, and he went to inquire about it, only to find out that it was just one of the many small businesses under the Xiangli Group.
Although he didn't understand the purpose of going through so much trouble for a small company, Tao Changming still brought Li Yunfeng and others along. It was just a piece of cake for him.
Xiangli Group wanted to make up for the losses accumulated over the years, and now its split was inevitable.
But Xiangli Chemical, the most important company under its umbrella, is not something that can be simply swallowed up by one or two companies, and many parties are already involved.
Tao Changming was in charge of the acquisition plan of Wanteng Group, and his own connections formed a fund pool. The rest included Huajie Group, Skyworth Holdings, and local departments.
After learning some fragments of information about Tao Changming, Xu Mingyuan guessed that he wanted to use Wanteng Group to join the game and, with the help of his own capital, gain the right to speak in Xiangli Chemical through joint holding and break free from the restrictions of Wanteng Group.
To be honest, if he really succeeded in this, he would not necessarily be much better than the general manager of the municipal investment company many years later. It can only be said that human desires are more difficult to endure than time.
I have done everything I can, and success or failure depends entirely on luck.
……
After being forced to drink by Tao Changming yesterday, Xu Mingyuan only returned to Nanxi in the morning.
He originally wanted to go back to school first, but when he passed by No. 9 Middle School, he asked the driver to stop the car, greeted the old security guard, and walked into this place where he used to attend junior high school.
"Xu Mingyuan?"
A female teacher in her fifties with slightly gray hair called him.
"Hey, teacher, no class today?"
This was the teacher who once taught Xu Mingyuan, but he can hardly remember him clearly.
This was the teacher he met by chance when he was sending little Yangzhi to school. If she hadn't called him, Xu Mingyuan would have failed to recognize her.
"The get out of class just ended. Why are you here? You are taking the college entrance exam soon, right? You don't have classes anymore?"
"I asked for leave and came to see my sister."
"Is there something wrong at home?"
"It's okay, I just came to take a look."
"Oh, have you decided which school to apply to?"
"Prepare for the entrance exam to Jiangda University."
"Jiang University? Not bad. When I was teaching your class, you were the smartest one in the class. I think if you could focus on studying, you might be able to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University."
"Haha, the teacher thinks too highly of me. It was quite difficult for me to get into university."
Teachers will still praise students like this when they meet them again, even if the student ranks last in the exam.
After a brief conversation, Xu Mingyuan bid farewell to his former teacher and walked into the teaching building.
The bell for class just rang, and seeing a group of young boys in school uniforms rushing in, Xu Mingyuan quickly made way.
After things quieted down, Xu Mingyuan walked along the floors to find the location of Class 1, Grade 9.
Looking into the classroom from the small window at the door, I saw Xiao Yangzhi sitting in the third row.
It should be an in-class test. The students were concentrating on writing the papers. The teacher was sitting in front of the podium, yawning and then starting to write the lesson plan.
Only Xiao Yangzhi sat upright, writing non-stop with a pen in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed, and her cold and indifferent look apparently a little unkind.
Compared to her current appearance, the little Yang Zhi in private is more likable.
