233 [Jianghu Loyalty]

There is a saying that goes to the local customs. Since Zhang Xuanlong spends money casually and does not keep accounts, Song Weiyang is really not good at "fooling". He is going to throw the 3.6 million yuan to Jinshan and leave by himself. Not to mention the equity contract, he is too lazy to even ask for Zhang's receipt.

You can't say that the first time I did this business, I felt so terrifying, as if I had transformed into a generous and committed man.

Qiu Bojun kept Song Weiyang and said that Zhang Xuanlong was about to return to China. Everyone signed the equity change contract before leaving.

After staying in Xiangshan City for another three days, Zhang Xuanlong finally appeared. This man was wearing glasses, tall, elegant and handsome. He does not have the title of "The Godfather of Zhongguancun", but he is already known as "Zhongguancun Tumbler". He is the one with the most extensive connections in the Chinese computer industry, no doubt about it.

Zhang Xuanlong's grandfather was once a rich man in Mauritius and a patriotic overseas Chinese. He returned to China in 1960 and died of illness that year. It can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to his hometown. Zhang Xuanlong's grandmother immediately went to Harbor City to take over the family business, and the Mauritius business was inherited by other family members.

Zhang Xuanlong's father was Zhang Kaiqing, and he was also a patriotic overseas Chinese. When the Japanese invaded North China, he returned to China at the age of 17 to participate in the National Saving Movement, and later joined the People's Liberation Army. In the humanitarian torrent, Zhang Kaiqin was locked up in a cowshed, and his family fell into trouble. It happened that Zhang Xuanlong's grandmother died in Hongcheng. Zhang Kaiqin was allowed to go to Hongcheng to inherit the inheritance. After going there, he found that the property had long been divided up by his relatives.

Everything can only be done from scratch!

Zhang Xuanlong went to Hong Kong City to join his father after the reform and opening up. He thought he could be a rich second generation, eat and drink, and go to college. As a result, he found that his father lived in a small house and often went to relatives' house to eat for free. He was embarrassed to say that he wanted to go to college, so he went directly to a factory to sweep the floor and pay 600 Hong Kong dollars a month. The father and son often ate bread together because bread was the cheapest.

Two years later, the father and son started their business together, losing money in all kinds of money. Zhang Xuanlong could only serve as a tour guide to subsidize the family income, and his father Zhang Kaiqing also needed to be a doctor to fill the gap and unlicensed wild doctor.

In this way, the father and son founded the Gangcheng Kingsoft Company.

Around 1990, the most dazzling companies in Zhongguancun were Lenovo, Sitong and Founder, and Zhang Xuanlong had business dealings with these three companies. Batumi disbanded and international big brands broke into China. Lenovo was still insisting on selling computers, while Founder and Sitong chose to be agents and at the same time turned their main business back to their old business.

Founder Group started out as a laser lineup for Chinese characters. After the merger of Hong Kong Kingsoft and Founder, Zhang Xuanlong immediately took the lead and established branches in Canada, the United States, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Wanwan. At this time, Founder's layout system had occupied 80% of the overseas mid-school newspaper market.

At this time, Zhang Xuanlong's position is the president of Port City Founder Company and the vice president and executive director of Founder Group.

When the Gangcheng Kingsoft and Founder Group merged, Zhang Xuanlong said to Qiu Bojun: "You set up a Kingsoft Company in Xiangshan and give you half of the equity. You can use the house in Xiangshan. If you don't have money, I will give it to you. As long as you still want to do it (generic software), I will support you. I am most afraid that you won't do it now. When you don't want to do it, you should also tell me that I promise to give you a bowl of rice."

This is the origin of Kingsoft Company.

"Haha, Boss Song, I have long been famous!" After Zhang Xuanlong shook hands with Song Weiyang, he did not let go and gave him a warm hug.

"Boss Zhang, I have long admired my reputation!" Song Weiyang said with a smile.

Zhang Xuanlong invited Song Weiyang to the office and sat down, and Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun also followed in.

Zhang Xuanlong said: "My wife is Wanwan. Some time ago, I went to Wanwan and actually found Xifeng Ice Tea in the supermarket. Boss Song is really capable. The competition in Wanwan's tea beverage market is very fierce."

"It's not my credit, it's the agent that is very good," said Song Weiyang.

The Wanwan tea beverage market is really hell. Uni-President Group launched Maixiang Black Tea in 1981, followed by flower tea and milk tea on the market. Xinxi Industrial made oolong tea a hit in 1992. In just one year, oolong tea beverages turned into Coca-Cola and Pepsi, becoming the absolute king of the Wanwan beverage market!

Oolong tea, milk tea, wheat tea, green tea, black tea, fruit tea, flower tea... tea beverage products are blooming everywhere.

Xifeng Ice Tea can make a fortune in Wanwan because Xifeng Ice Green Tea has a mint flavor, Xifeng Ice Black Tea has a lemon flavor, and both have carbonated flavors. Even so, Xifeng's two products combined only account for 0.3% of the Wanwan tea beverage market and can only be sold in the central and northern cities of Wanwan.

Zhang Xuanlong chatted for a while and suddenly asked, "Why did Boss Song suddenly remember to invest in a software company?"

Song Weiyang pointed to Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun and said, "Old Qiu and Junzi have known each other online for a year and often chat and communicate. Although I don't understand computer technology, I think we Chinese cannot always use foreign software. Do you think this is the reason?"

"This is said well, haha," Zhang Xuanlong smiled happily, "Do you know what I am most proud of? One is the current Fangzheng type system, which occupies 80% of the overseas mid-market market. As long as there are newspapers, there will definitely be a Fangzheng type system. The other is that a few years ago, WPS was incredible. Learning computers is equivalent to learning WPS. WPS tutorials are the most important subject in every computer training class in China!"

Qiu Bojun suddenly said: "Not working now, the school's microcomputer classes teach word tutorials."

"Don't belittle yourself. I believe that when wps97 comes out, you will definitely break this dilemma!" Zhang Xuanlong said.

"Try to do it." Qiu Bojun had no confidence.

Zhang Xuanlong said to Song Weiyang again: "I returned to China last night and read the company's strategic development plan made by Lei Jun overnight. I heard that it was the suggestion given by Boss Song. This strategic plan is done well, with WPS as the center point, making more production, and bypassing Word to fight guerrillas, which is very in line with the dilemma facing Kingsoft."

"I am an outsider and an expert in guiding an expert, and I am laughing at you." Song Weiyang said modestly.

"A master is well-versed in all kinds of things, and there is no problem of being an outsider." Zhang Xuanlong said.

Song Weiyang suddenly asked: "Boss Zhang, why is Kingsoft's finances a mess? You have every reason and ability to rectify them."

"You have been holding this question in your heart for a long time?" Zhang Xuanlong smiled. "Kingsoft's situation is very bad. One is the competition from Microsoft, and the other is the rampant piracy. Among them, the harm of piracy is particularly huge. Many domestic software companies have gone bankrupt in the past two years. I think at least one spark should be kept so that China's general software industry can survive. What I fear most is that Xiao Qiu will stop doing it and cannot undermine his enthusiasm."

Qiu Bojun blushed. If he followed the business operation rules completely, Zhang Xuanlong's continued investment over the years would probably be able to monopolize more than 90% of Kingsoft shares.

This is not an angel investor, this is a God investor.

Zhang Xuanlong is a very contradictory person in business. He is very accurate in looking at people and things. He can always make money when working with anyone. But he has a habit of martial arts and adheres to principles while being loyal first. There is no one in Zhongguancun who says bad things about him. Lenovo, Fang Zheng, and Sitong bosses all owe others favors.

On the contrary, if Zhang Xuanlong hates someone, he would rather lose a lot than cooperate with him.

The most typical example is that Founder acquired Aod in 1997, and Zhang Xuanlong firmly opposed it. The reason is very simple. He believed that Aoder's boss Qu Wanchun was not a businessman, but a profit-oriented businessman. At that time, all shareholders agreed to the acquisition case. Zhang Xuanlong did not say a word and sold all the Founder stocks in his hands.

You should know that when Founder stock was more than 4 yuan, Zhang Xuanlong had never sold it, and the stock price was only more than 1 yuan at this time. Once the acquisition was completed, Founder stock would inevitably rise sharply, and Zhang Xuanlong lost at least 1 yuan in this move.

As a normal businessman, no matter how unhappy Zhang Xuanlong is, he should wait until the acquisition is completed and the company's stocks rise before selling them!

This is just a matter of being unable to get along with money and being irritated!

Zhang Xuanlong said: "Money is of course very important to me, but I still have a lot of my personality."

Facts have proved that Zhang Xuanlong did not misunderstand this time. Qu Wanchun was indeed very capable, but he had never thought about developing Founder Group well. After the six-month stock restriction expired, Qu Wanchun immediately sold 50% of Founder's stock and cashed out more than 100 million US dollars. If it weren't for only 50% of the stocks sold within a year, it is estimated that Qu Wanchun could sell all the stocks in his hand.

Moreover, Zhang Xuanlong was not the kind of person who swallowed his anger. Qu Wanchun made him unhappy, so he immediately gave a revenge and attacked him.

Qu Wanchun wanted to take charge of Founder Group and drove Wang Xuan away. Zhang Xuanlong and Wang Xuan have been friends for many years, so he immediately mobilized his relationship to fight back. In just one month, Founder Electronics, Founder Research Institute, and the middle and senior leaders of Founder Group jointly wrote a letter to the Peking University campus, directly dragging down the second largest shareholder Qu Wanchun, and even forcing Founder Chairman Zhang Yufeng to resign.

You should know that Zhang Xuanlong had sold all Founder stocks at that time and was no longer a shareholder of Founder Group. As a result, he immediately changed the senior personnel appointments of Founder Group, and his influence was terrifying.

In fact, Zhang Xuanlong and Founder Chairman Zhang Yufeng are also friends for many years. They broke up because of the Odd acquisition case.

Once, something happened to Fang Zheng’s customs. Zhang Yufeng was very nervous and smoked one by one. The customs leader pointed at Zhang Yufeng’s nose and said, “No smoking is allowed!”

Zhang Yufeng was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and the other party was too arrogant.

At this time, Zhang Xuanlong appeared. Not long after chatting, Zhang Xuanlong took out a cigar and reported several more names. The customs leader quickly helped light a cigarette, and the matter was easily solved.

Kingsoft's WPS can get a large number of government orders, which is probably related to Zhang Xuanlong. This person's ability to make friends is amazing. Not only can he be prosperous in the mainland, but he is the same in Hong Kong City. In a few months, Lenovo will integrate the mainland and Hongcheng businesses, and Zhang Xuanlong will also help him. This incident made Lenovo President Liu remember his huge relationship.

"Let's talk about equity distribution," Zhang Xuanlong said, "I thought about it again. Kingsoft is in a difficult situation now. Every employee who chooses to stay is good. They have ideals and loyalty, and we cannot be a bad capitalist. Since we talk about equity distribution, then everyone will have a share. If Boss Song doesn't want to, you will still take 30% of the employees' holdings will be deducted from me."

Zhang Xuanlong in history will distribute half of Kingsoft equity to key employees free of charge in the next few years.

Song Weiyang thought this person was too interesting. Kingsoft shares were naturally valuable, but Zhang Xuanlong, a friend, was more worthy of making friends. He smiled and said, "Boss Zhang is so generous, I can't be stingy. In this way, all three of us will get 25%, Lei Jun will get 15%, and the remaining 10% will be distributed to more than ten employees of the left-behind company."
