Before Song Weiyang left Beijing, Sohu held a board meeting and agreed to Song Weiyang to inject 10 million yuan to increase his holdings.
Immediately, Gu Yong will begin to standardize the company system and build an administrative and financial team. Zhang Chaoyang completely let go of this, but he still personally grasps the content and operations, so Sohu Company has been on the right track.
Kingsoft Software Company is once again in a financial dilemma. Whether it is office software or games, Kingsoft's products are very popular. Unfortunately, the market environment is too poor, and pirated versions are countless times that of genuine versions. Products that can barely recover costs can be considered good products.
Historically, Kingsoft should have no money last year, so Zhang Xuanlong had to find Mr. Liu, and Lenovo injected 4.5 million US dollars into Kingsoft's major shareholder.
However, due to Song Weiyang's early investment, Kingsoft of this time and space has been persisting until now.
Zhang Xuanlong was too lazy to find Mr. Liu, so he asked directly whether Song Weiyang would be willing to continue investing money. Looking all over China, except Song Weiyang, no one would be stupid enough to invest in Kingsoft. Lenovo's investment in history was not that Mr. Liu was optimistic about Kingsoft, but purely to repay Zhang Xuanlong's previous favors.
Song Weiyang flew directly to Shenghai, asking Hong Weiguo to drive a Hummer back by himself, and gave Hong Weiguo a few days off by the way - Lao Hong's family arranged a blind date for him.
Walking out of the airport, Song Weiyang got into a Santana directly, the car sent by Shenzhou Technology Company to pick it up.
"How much money is missing?" Song Weiyang asked on the phone.
Qiu Bojun said: "I can't say it well, I've been short of money anyway, so how much can you invest."
Song Weiyang asked: "What is Zhang Xuanlong's opinion?"
Qiu Bojun said: "He doesn't care. You can give all the shares of the company, as long as you can keep Kingsoft alive."
Kingsoft is indeed living a difficult life. Last year, "Kingsoft PowerWord 3" launched, invited well-known singers and bands to promote and promote, and only sold 40,000 sets of software. But the sales of these 40,000 sets have already "shocked the industry". It is difficult for other companies to sell products that exceed 10,000, and the profits have been made by those pirated merchants.
The domestic general software industry is like the Beggars’ Gang, and Kingsoft is the leader of the Beggars’ Gang—all are beggars.
Historically, Kingsoft's real turnaround was "Kingsoft PowerWord 2000" launched in 1999. At that time, the country reduced the value-added tax of software companies from 17% to 3%. Kingsoft moved, and the software with the original price of 168 was only sold for 28. Lei Jun led people to promote nationwide for three months, setting off a "red authentic storm" campaign, and sold 1.1 million sets of software in one go!
It was Lei Jun's classic sales war in the first half of his life. He seized the opportunity to reduce prices wildly and shouted a slogan of supporting the genuine edition, which immediately caused a sensation across the country. When he was organizing an event at the Beijing Book Building, even consumers in Tianjin took a bus to support it. The scene was like a celebrity signing, and 210,000 units were sold in three days, which was several times the sales of the previous year. At that time, it was sold out directly, and there were not enough spots, otherwise more could be sold.
Lei Jun's hunger marketing and cheap route also began with this battle. He published the newspaper every now and then and said that the software was sold out, asking consumers from all over the country to wait patiently. The more they needed to wait, the more willing the consumers were to buy genuine products. Some dealers even made stocks, and they didn't sell them, and took the opportunity to raise prices quietly.
The domestic software industry is surprisingly unanimously cursing Lei Jun's behavior. Originally, everyone's genuine software couldn't sell much. What the hell is Lei Jun selling at 40% off? It's disrupting the market!
"The spare money I have is only more than 10 million yuan, how about investing 12 million yuan?" Song Weiyang could only temporarily shelve the plan to renovate the Siheyuan.
Qiu Bojun said: "No problem, I will discuss with Zhang Xuanlong and Lei Jun to see how many shares should be given to you."
Song Weiyang comforted and said, "Stay calm, don't be discouraged, you will get better slowly."
"Boss Song, thank you, otherwise Kingsoft would definitely be ruined and no one would be willing to invest." Qiu Bojun said heartily.
Song Weiyang came up with an idea and said, "Let Xishanju develop online games."
Qiu Bojun said: "mud?"
"Do you know the ultima online?" Song Weiyang said.
"I know, it's very popular abroad," said Qiu Bojun, "but China's Internet speed may not be able to delay, it can drive players crazy."
Song Weiyang said: "China's Internet speed is getting faster every year. Now let Xishanju develop games and wait for a year or two to develop them. At that time, domestic Internet speed will be enough."
In fact, if you don’t have to wait for a year, "Net Genesis" (private server) will be launched in China in another half a year and will be popular all over the country. In more than a year, the 3D online game "King of Kings" developed by Wanwan will also be launched, becoming the undisputed online game king that year.
Qiu Bojun was quite suspicious and said, "We have never made online games. Can this thing make money?"
"You'll know if you try it." Song Weiyang smiled.
Qiu Bojun said: "I'll have a meeting to discuss it."
...
When she returned to the house in Wujiaochang, Doudou was doing her summer homework. When she saw Song Weiyang enter the house, she threw away her homework book and said excitedly: "Uncle, you are finally back. I'm so bored these days. Come and play "Warcraft" online with me."
Song Weiyang pointed to the homework book on the coffee table and smiled: "I just wanted to praise you for your love of studying, but why did you reveal your true colors all at once?"
"I can do these homework, but it's boring to write them. Especially for Chinese homework, I even let them copy new words, which are all new words I learned last semester." Doudou blamed the teacher. It was not that she didn't like to study, but that the homework assigned by the teacher was not good at it.
Song Weiyang asked: "Where is your aunt?"
"At work, their magazine only has ten days off for the New Year. It will not take until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to return to their hometown," Doudou said suddenly and mysteriously, "My mother took me to dinner yesterday. When she saw an uncle, she must have found a stepfather for me."
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, so you should understand her difficulties."
"I just feel quite awkward." Doudou said pouting.
Song Weiyang asked: "What do you think of that uncle?"
Doudou said: "It's okay, I'm barely forced. I don't like it very much, but I don't hate it very much. He bought me ice cream and toys, and bought me a lot of clothes. He must have wanted to please me."
Song Weiyang said: "It means he is not bad to you, and he is not a stingy person."
Doudou said: "It is often played in TV series. As long as the mother and her stepfather have children, they will not be nice to me. Humph, I will not be fooled by them!"
"Haha, you are not very old and have a lot of thoughts." Song Weiyang smiled.
Doudou suddenly said, "Uncle, why don't you come and be my stepfather."
"Ahem..." Song Weiyang was choked by these words and said in a daze, "I am your uncle!"
