Chapter 165

Two days later, Ren Pingsheng flew back to Hanhai from Lu Island.

This industry has gained a lot. Not only did it negotiate with Cai Wensheng to co-found the Angel Investment Fund, but it also brought back the "wanyou, wangyou" series of domain names that it is determined to win. From then on, Wanyou Network and Wanyou Games' domain names can be erected under "wanyou".

Anyone who wants to know about all-you games or online games will be guided by search engines to www.  Under this website, this is the effect Ren Pingsheng wants.

In addition, Ren Pingsheng also entrusted Cai Wensheng to purchase or register several other domain names, including "WYTV", "WYGAME", "WYMOVIE", "WYMV", "WYW", "WY" and other industry domain names. Although Ren Pingsheng has not intervened in these industries yet, they may be able to use them in the future. There are also "Pingsheng" and "PS" domain names that may be used in the future.

If you suffer a loss, you will gain wisdom. Now, you must plan ahead in everything. Be the best of your actions and register first.

Although Cai Wensheng has been refusing, Ren Pingsheng still insisted on paying him the domain name transfer fee according to the market price. These domain names cost him more than one million yuan, which is worth the money.

In Business, Ren Pingsheng is a brother who can settle accounts clearly. He does not want to take advantage of his partners just because he is about to establish a cooperative relationship. This is the principle of being a person and doing things.

Moreover, Ren Pingsheng has gained a lot from Cai Wensheng. In addition to the angel investment and domain names mentioned above, he also learned a piece of business information from Cai Wensheng, a very important business information.

Lei Jun took action again. This time he invested in an online voice chat tool company called InSpeak Voice (IS).

When he heard Cai Wensheng talk about this noun inadvertently, Ren Pingsheng's head exploded instantly, and countless images and sounds were spinning out in front of his eyes like slides.

Online voice chat is an important node for the transition from the text and picture era to the voice and video era.

If in the era of text and pictures, Tengxun's QQ drove other competitors out of this market with an absolute advantage and monopolized this market for ten years, it would become the overlord of the Internet social networking.

In the era of voice and video, Tengxun's advantages were in danger, and they were even caught up by some latecomers, such as the live broadcast field, such as the Kuaishou, Douyin and so on in the short video field. If Tengxun had not had a powerful weapon, the entire Internet social field would be completely overturned.

During the conversion process of these two stages, there is a software application that plays a role in inheriting the past and opening up the future, that is, to establish the industry position in the happy era and provide the most profitable YY voice.

Starting from YY Voice, the Happy Age not only established the profit model of online voice chat, but also developed a live broadcast business from YY Voice and cultivated a second listed company, namely Maoya Live in later generations.

The beginning of all this is inseparable from the large user base cultivated and accumulated by YY voice. Having YY voice means having the first ticket to the live broadcast industry in later generations.

Therefore, Ren Pingsheng was so excited when he thought of this.

In 2007, Li Xuelin and Happy Times did not realize the importance of YY pronunciation. Their current energy was all focused on the development of Duole Games. It was because Li Xuelin really made efforts to develop YY pronunciation, but it was still known that Lei Jun had invested in IS pronunciation.

Lei Jun, who has always been unique in his eyes, once again moved his layout ahead of Ren Pingsheng.

Unfortunately, they are facing a rebirth this time.

Ren Pingsheng not only wants to win IS voice, but also wants to win the entire online voice chat market before YY voice takes shape, laying the foundation for future competition with Tengxun in the social media field.

Old friend, sorry, I'm going to intercept the fool this time.

...

Back in Hanhai City, Ren Pingsheng contacted Hanhai Qinshang Internet Technology Co., Ltd., which developed IS voice, and proposed his own acquisition intention.

To Ren Pingsheng's expectation, the founder and CEO of Qinshang Company is not an IT man who is usually engaged in Internet entrepreneurship. Xu Ridong is 38 years old this year. He graduated from Southwest Jiaotong University in 1991 with a square face and a middle-aged entrepreneurial temperament. His conversation is also mature and steady.

After a few words, Ren Pingsheng understood why IS pronunciation could not be defeated by the YY pronunciation that was sent later in his previous life. Most of the factors should be attributed to the culture of the company, or it has a lot to do with the founder's personality.

Xu Ridong is an entrepreneur who has been in business for many years. He has very experience in the management of the company, but having too much experience is not necessarily a good thing. The disadvantage is that he attaches too much importance to the company's revenue and dares not invest boldly in the future, and is used to satisfying the abundant life of small households.

This spirit of not seeking success but seeking nothing wrong determines that IS Voice cannot grow into an industry giant under the leadership of Xu Ridong, and also determines the end of IS Voice's defeat in this voice battle.

But Xu Ridong's personality has its disadvantages and advantages. The disadvantage is that he cannot make a company bigger and stronger. The advantage is that he does not have a strong sense of monopoly. Unlike the founders of many companies, he regards the control of the company as more important than his own life. He would rather maintain independence than accept the control of external capital.

For Xu Ridong, as long as the company he founded was at a suitable price, it was not impossible to sell it.

Before Ren Pingsheng contacted, IS had received an offer from two investors, one of which was Lei Jun, and the other Ren Pingsheng was also very familiar with it, that is, Zhou Hongyi, who was nicknamed "Red Cannon" in later generations with 361 and other products.

When it comes to investing in IS voice, although it started a little later than Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi, Ren Pingsheng himself also has several advantages.

First, the investment intensity is different. Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi's investments are both angel investments, with an investment scale of around several million yuan, and the required equity is less than 30%, so they are not very interested in the company's controlling stake.

Second, the investment purpose is different. Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi invested in IS voice mainly because they are optimistic about the development potential of this field, which is equivalent to sowing in advance. The future development depends on IS itself, and there is no strategic consideration for the whole market.

Third, the urgency of investment is different. Although Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi are interested, they are currently in contact with IS through subordinates, while Ren Pingsheng comes to talk as the boss himself, and he is more sincere than those two in terms of sincerity.

The conditions offered by Ren Pingsheng are also real and sufficient.

1. Ren Pingsheng is willing to buy 80% of IS Voice shares for RMB 25 million. This valuation is more than double the bid of Lei Jun. If Xu Ridong agrees, Ren Pingsheng is willing to acquire the entire market for RMB 30 million.

2. After the acquisition is completed, IS Voice will be operated as a strategic partner of Wanyou Games. The two companies will carry out all-round cooperation in the fields of game voice, entertainment voice, etc. to achieve a synergistic effect of win-win and progress.

3. After the acquisition is completed, Xu Ridong will continue to operate the company as a manager and maintain the original management team unchanged.

It can be said that Ren Pingsheng's conditions are better and more attractive than the other two, so Xu Ridong could not refuse such an offer.

But in the end, Xu Ridong chose another plan. While he sold 80% of his shares to Ren Pingsheng, he also sold the remaining 20% ​​of his shares to Lei Jun.

Xu Ridong's plan was good. While he wanted to sell the company at the best price, he introduced a powerful small shareholder to compete with the major shareholder with controlling rights. He would be in a row at that time, so that both parties would have to accept their existence in the company.

This was Xu Ridong's wishful thinking, but he did not expect that it was precisely because of his small calculation that he would be cleaned up in the future.

Although he was a little regretful, Ren Pingsheng finally accepted this plan. After all, Lei Jun is an old acquaintance, and the 20% shares he owned will not pose too much threat to him. Moreover, he will have to carry out in-depth cooperation with Lei Jun in the future, so there is no need to create conflicts at this moment.

However, after you control the IS company, it is imperative to clean up the current management.
